Red Dragon City Lord Lance

How big can Iliya's problem be? As long as she's not love-struck and hasn't been tricked into becoming an idiot by some Heroic Spirit Summoner, with his current abilities, there's a 90% chance he can solve Iliya's problem.

Wanted by hell?

No worries, he has connections in Hell, including a Tier Two Death God. He can pull some strings and get Hell to drop the warrant for Iliya's arrest.

Wanted by the Heroic Spirit God Realm?

No worries, he has a god he knows in the divine realm. He can awaken Sophia, coax and deceive her, and promise her some benefits. Given their friendship, the Valkyrie should not mind making a trip to the Heroic Spirit God Realm of the Heroic Spirit God Realm to have the arrest warrant for Iliya dropped.

There are friends in the divine realm.

There is a Grim Reaper in Hell.

He was confident that he could resolve Iliya's problem by using his connections.

As for the human world, with his current strength, he should be considered half Invincible Under Heaven, right?

However, if someone in the human world were to interfere and cause Iliya to become Fallen Heroic Spirit, the first thing to do would be to call for reinforcements.

Shake Leige.

Leige is now Half-Step God.

The key is that this person has a unique characteristic: he becomes stronger when faced with stronger opponents, and unleashing his full potential is as commonplace as eating a meal for him.

Perhaps Leige alone could take on half of the world's strongest warriors.

Hmm. If he really did that, he might be killed by half the powerful beings in the human world.

Anyway, he didn't have the courage to challenge the strongest people in half of the human world.

They were afraid of being ganged up on and beaten.

"Mr. Lance, here are your dessert and juice. I've put them here for you."

"Thanks."

"Mr. Lance Mr. Lance, you're too kind. This is my job. I'll get back to work now. If you need anything, please feel free to call me."

"Okay, go ahead and get busy."

The Catgirl Yula left the private room and casually closed the door. Mr. Lance quite enjoyed meeting with friends in the coffee shop.

The girl with short silver hair on the projection screen is really pretty.

Lance picked up the juice with the straw, took a sip of the sweet and sour juice, and asked the Catgirl at the café to process it for him. The fruit used for juicing came from Black Dragon Island.

He paid the processing fee.

When he's spending money to enjoy himself, he doesn't feel bad about the gold coins he has; spending and earning are more interesting to him.

He felt insecure with too much money, fearing that one day he might be accidentally defeated by Legendary Hero or Epic Hero as a mini-boss.

When the dragon died, the gold and silver treasures became the spoils of Legendary Hero and Epic Hero.

He feared he would die with regrets.

Venus in the projection screen noticed that Lance was not panicked at all. She said that Iliya's condition and situation were terrible, but Lance didn't seem to care at all.

There was no sign of worry in his eyes.

Is it because more than a thousand years have passed that feelings have faded? Others might think that way.

Venus wouldn't think that way. Back then, ever since Lance cured Iliya of her figure, which even Amelia envied, Iliya often sought out Lance. Occasionally, when she received a relatively easy bounty mission, she would never ask Leige for help.

Find Lance and ask Lance to accompany her on the mission.

Lance has little ambition, and most of the time he will refuse Iliya and tell Iliya to come to him or Amelia.

Iliya insisted on seeing him, and sometimes she would even hug Lance 'Lance arm to get him to accompany her on missions. Whenever this happened, Lance would reluctantly agree to Iliya's request.

Venus felt that Lance still had some affection for his former teammates.

Although we don't know why Lance faked his death and left the team back then, the friendship they forged back then shouldn't disappear with the passage of time.

Lance didn't seem to care about Iliya's situation. Did he think that he or Leige could handle Iliya? Leige is busy lately and might not be able to find time to come to Dragon Domain.

She couldn't control Iliya for the time being. She would wait for Amelia to arrive and see if the two of them could control Iliya together.

First, control Iliya, then figure out how to solve the problems Iliya has.

Iliya is very strong.

After becoming a Heroic Spirit, one can also mobilize the power of the stars in the Heroic Spirit God Realm.

He possesses superhuman strength and can also draw upon the power of the stars, allowing him to enter Berserk Mode when enraged.

As Trainee Death God, she could only barely fight him and could not completely overwhelm him.

In close combat, Iliya can overpower her.

Amelia's close-combat skills are not strong, and it was because of this that she took the initiative to contact Lance.

I hope Lance can come to Dragon Domain.

Lance's domain might be able to suppress the star power mobilized by Iliya.

I wonder if Lance can withstand Iliya's direct attack.

"Venus, you've been in contact with Iliya. Do you know what happened to Iliya that led her to become Fallen Heroic Spirit? If you know, tell me."

Let me see if I need to prepare anything for the trip to the Dragon Domain. Don't just stand there, go get yourself a glass of water, sit down and talk slowly. If you trust us, you can resolve Iliya's problem effectively.

Lance leaned back on the soft leather sofa and glanced at the dragon cubs across the street, who were diligently making money from their stall.

There weren't many people on the street, so the little dragon was quite relaxed. She sat on a stool, holding a fork in her dragon claw, and pondered over the cakes on the stall.

Every now and then she would place the dragon claw on the cake and gesture a few times, then put the dragon claw to her mouth and grin. Was she measuring the size of the cake?

And what about the size of her dragon mouth?

That cake was so big she could have swallowed it in one bite.

Sigh.

Why is the child sighing?

The little dragon put down its fork, picked up the cake, and threw the whole piece into its mouth.

My eyes welled up with tears as I ate.

So delicious you'll cry?

Are the cakes at this store really that delicious?

I packed two to take back as dessert for my son when I left at night.

"Lance? Lance! Are you listening to me?"

"I'm listening, I can hear you." Lance snapped out of his reverie and replied to Venus with a smile, "What did you just say?"

"I didn't say anything, I just noticed you staring out the window in a daze, so I called you a couple of times, intending to tell you what I know so far."

"Go ahead and tell me, I'm listening carefully."

In the projection screen, Venus walked onto the balcony with a glass of water, took a sip, and slowly began to tell Lance about Iliya.

"I learned that Iliya was in trouble when I was browsing the Hell bounty missions that day. I saw that Iliya was on the bounty list, and the crime was: seriously injuring Trainee Death God and injuring Level One Death God."

They ventured into Hell and, together with a Dark Heroic Spirit Summoner, destroyed three prisons holding Evil Spirit, allowing the Evil Spirit in the three prisons to escape from Hell and run to the human world.

She also worked with the Dark Heroic Spirit Summoner the Grim Reaper of Hell.

This is why Hell has issued a warrant for Iliya's arrest.

The reason why the Heroic Spirit God Realm has issued a warrant for Iliya's arrest is because Iliya violated the laws of the Heroic Spirit God Realm by responding to the summons of the Dark Heroic Spirit Summoner and even colluding with the Dark Heroic Spirit Summoner to trespass into Hell.

In addition, she injured the heroic spirits who were trying to capture her. Most importantly, she seems to have colluded with demons and reached some unknown cooperation with them.

This is probably why the Heroic Spirit God Realm wanted her, but whether that's true or not, I don't know.

In the Dragon Domain, Iliya has offended several powerful city lords, who are hunting Iliya down, completely unfazed by Iliya status as a Heroic Spirit.

Venus looked worried. If it were just Iliya's own problems, that would be fine. The key issue is that Iliya has also offended many powerful figures in the Dragon Domain.

With her current strength, she simply couldn't handle so many powerful individuals. Even with Amelia, it still wouldn't be enough to safely take Iliya away from the Dragon Domain.

Not to mention that there are also Heroic Spirits chasing Iliya.

She thought that after a thousand years, she and Amelia had grown to the point where they could stand on their own, but she never expected that their first time solving a problem with their teammate would result in such a difficult situation.

For things beyond their capabilities, they should call for backup when necessary. Trying to solve things beyond their capabilities will only make the situation worse.

These were the words Lance said to them back then. At that time, they didn't agree with what Lance said. In their youthful arrogance, they didn't think there was anything they couldn't handle.

Lance said this because Lance abilities were not as strong as theirs.

Not long after, because of their ignorance, arrogance, and desire to save face, they almost caused the deaths of an entire village.

Only after that did they take Lance's words to heart: if things were beyond their control, not calling for help would sometimes have consequences they couldn't bear.

"Call him Leige."

"I'll have Amelia contact Leige later. Leige has to deal with demons recently and probably won't be able to leave for a while. Lance, if you're not busy, come over quickly. I'm afraid Amelia and I can't guarantee Iliya's safety."

Lance, his body sinking into the soft sofa, nodded.

He thought that only Hell and the Heroic Spirit God Realm had issued warrants for Iliya's arrest, but he didn't expect that the city lord of the Dragon Domain also had warrants for Iliya's arrest.

The "city lords" who are wanted by Iliya are probably not city lords from the human world, but rather powerful "King Beast" from the Deep Mountain Old Forest.

Some of the [King Beast] are even stronger than Pure-Blooded Dragon. With their formidable strength, they naturally have no fear of a Heroic Spirit.

A "City Lord" is King Beast Lord" if it doesn't have the power to intimidate all other beasts.

"Which city lords in the Dragon Domain are hunting down Iliya?"

"Lord of Myriad Forms City, Peacock City Lord, Lord of Fire Bear City, Lord of Lava City, Ten Thousand Flowers Garden City, Red Dragon City Acting City Lord, Lord of Behemoth City"

???

Is there a strange city lord among so many city lords?

The Red Dragon City Acting City Lord? So many years have passed, and this city hasn't changed its name?

Furthermore, what did Iliya do to offend so many powerful city lords? Venus made the right choice in seeking help; even if she is Trainee Death God, she might not be a match for these city lords.

These city lords are all incredibly cunning.

Like that city lord of Myriad Forms City, who looks honest and simple, but is actually full of evil intentions.

And then there's the lord of Lava City, who is clearly a powerful Snow Woman, yet she named her city Lava City.

This led many powerful humans to mistakenly believe that the lord of Lava City was a lava giant.

A bunch of shady and shameless guys.

"You, Amelia, do not engage in direct conflict with these city lords. With your strength, you are no match for them. If you clash with them, even if you break an accessory or poke a hole in their robes, you may receive an exorbitant compensation bill that is beyond your imagination. If you cannot come up with that much compensation, you may be captured and forced to work as their slaves."

"Iliya may have already been put up for sale."

Lance reminded Venus that he did not want to see Venus captured by those city lords.

The city's name hasn't changed, which means it's still the same guys who were the city lords back then.

Venus's gaze toward Lance became strange.

How did Lance know that she and Amelia were no match for those city lords?

Judging from Lance's tone, he seemed to know something about those city lords.

He's been to the Dragon Domain? He's met those city lords?

Is it possible? It seems impossible no matter how you look at it.

"You've been to the Dragon Domain?"

"Um."

"???"

This person has actually been to the Dragon Domain! "Then have you met these city lords?"

"Never seen it before."

Human Lance had never met those city lords, but Lance, the city lord of Red Dragon City, had.

None of the city lords in the Dragon Domain had ever seen the Human Lance.

"Then how do you know about the ways those city lords behave?"

"After staying here for a while, I've heard that as a human, it's best not to deal with those city lords unless there's a specific reason."

"I've already dealt with those city lords. Last time I fought with Iliya, a city lord attacked Iliya, and I stepped in to defend Iliya from that city lord's attack."

It seems that he also accidentally shattered many jade artifacts and accessories on the city lord's body.

Venus spoke softer and softer as she noticed Lance's gaze growing increasingly serious.

"Don't go out during this period, and don't go looking for Iliya. If you are unfortunately captured by the [City Lord], you can reveal your identity Trainee Death God of Hell if necessary."

"It's my fault. When Amelia left, I only reminded her not to provoke the city lord, but I forgot to tell her to try not to break the city lord's accessories during the fight. Oh well, it's no use reminding her now. Those city lords will try every means to make you hit their accessories so they can claim the moral high ground and give you an exorbitant compensation bill."

Upon hearing Lance's words, Venus recalled that when she helped Iliya block the city lord's attack, the city lord's reaction was indeed somewhat strange.

Was she tricked by that city lord? "Lance, what should I do if that city lord gives me an exorbitant compensation bill?"

"Smash their dog heads."

"What if we can't win?"

"Wait for Leige, or I will come to save you."

"If you and Leige also get an exorbitant compensation bill, wouldn't our Radiant Sun Squad be forced to work for those city lords for the rest of our lives?"

"Venus, do you think it's possible that if they meet me, they'll have to work for me illegally for the rest of their lives?"

???

Venus felt she understood her former teammate less and less.

He seems to know everything, yet he also seems to care about nothing.

The only certainty is that in his heart, she, Iliya, Amelia, and Leige are still his teammates.

He approves of them.

"Someone's knocking on the door, Lance, I'll hang up now."

"Don't hang it up."

Venus's figure disappeared from the projection screen, and upon seeing this, Lance sighed and rubbed his forehead.

Venus, that silly girl who opened doors for just anyone, is probably gone.

She still didn't understand the methods used by the Dragon Domain's [City Lord] to find people.

The city lords of the Dragon Domain can make birds their eyes, and they can find any human or other creature that breaks their jade ornaments, accessories, or damages their clothes.

Those guys are very polite. When they see you, they don't try to fight you. Instead, they try to reason with you and use their eloquence and status to gain your sympathy.

I was originally planning to go to the Dragon Domain a few days later, but judging from the current situation, I'm afraid I'll have to set off for the Dragon Domain tomorrow.

Venus can't outmaneuver those guys.

Before he could even deal with Iliya's situation, he ended up getting himself involved.

Lance was just about to put the Black Dragon Statue that was floating in the air back up.

The projection screen lit up again; it was a projected call from Venus.

With a thought, the image of Venus appeared on the projection screen, and next to Venus stood a bird-headed, human-bodied bird-man.

"Lance, she made me pay her 533,452 gold coins. Look, this is the bill she gave me."

It was that female peacock who couldn't even spread her tail feathers.

"Birdman, I advise you to be kind."

"???"
