I Was Dug Out from Underground by Lord Lance and Hung on the Courtyard Wall as a Decoration

Eight peculiar characters, resembling runes, yet not quite runes.

The Earth Dragon Administrator Macao, held the Black Dragon Jade Seal high, stared at the eight peculiar characters below for a while, and his vertical pupils revealed excitement.

It's confirmed; it's a token from the First City Lord.

There are two small characters on the bottom of the Black Dragon Jade Seal, which are the names of the First City Lord.

The name of the First City Lord was also carved in that peculiar script, making it extremely difficult to forge the First City Lord's token.

Ordinary beings would not dare to forge the tokens of the First City Lord, forging the First City Lord's Black Dragon Jade Seal: a capital offense.

Even if it could be forged, someone who doesn't recognize the eight characters on the bottom of the imperial seal would still die.

Another point is that the creature that forged the imperial seal would never have imagined that the First City Lord of Red Dragon City would carve a black dragon on the token.

When people think of Red Dragon City, most will subconsciously picture a red dragon. They would never imagine that their First City Lord would carve a black dragon on a keepsake.

"Young Dragon, what is your relationship with the owner of this Black Dragon Jade Seal?"

"I am his adopted son."

The offspring of the First City Lord? Then wouldn't this Amethyst Dragonling be the "Young City Lord"? This is really going to kill this Earth Dragon. As the "Young City Lord," why is he setting up a stall in Red Dragon City? If he wants to eat something, he should just go to the City Lord's Mansion.

Upon arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, after showing the token of the First City Lord to the acting City Lord, what kind of delicious food couldn't he eat?

"Young City Lord, please keep the Black Dragon Jade Seal of the First City Lord safe."

Macao respectfully handed the Black Dragon Jade Seal back to the young dragon.

The young dragon accepted the Black Dragon Jade Seal, a look of doubt appearing in its purple-gold vertical pupils.

Young City Lord? She became the "Young City Lord" just by showing the Red Dragon City administrator the dragon's token? Was Red Dragon City really built by a dragon? "Administrator Macao, are we still going to fine this young dragon? Shouldn't we confiscate its tools of the trade?"

The snake-man vaguely sensed something and was unwilling to believe that a seemingly gullible Amethyst Dragonling was actually the offspring of the First City Lord.

"Enough with the nonsense. Quickly deliver this pot of stewed Big Bone to the Young City Lord. It's an honor for you if the Young City Lord enjoys your Big Bone."

"In the future, when you advertise, you can say that even the Young City Lord loves your Big Bone. You have absolutely no business sense; no wonder you still can't afford to rent a shop after more than a hundred years."

"."

The snake-man flicked his tongue and cursed the dog-manager in his mind.

If it knew that the young dragon was the offspring of the First City Lord, it would have become the young dragon's lackey long ago. Would it still have tricked the young dragon out of the Lucky Coin around its neck? "Young City Lord, this pot of Big Bone is for you. Please enjoy it."

Young Dragon shook his head. "You don't need to give it to me for free. Give me a few days to earn money, and I'll pay you back when I do."

"No need, no need, no need. Administrator Macao is right. I'll just use the name of ' Young City Lord ' to advertise a little bit in the future, and I can easily earn back the money for this pot of Big Bone."

"That won't do. The evil dragon said that if you use my name to advertise, you have to pay me an endorsement fee."

"???"

As expected of the son raised by the First City Lord, he looks silly and cute, but when it comes to money, he knows how to ask for a commission. "The City Lord's Mansion will cover the cost of this pot of Big Bone. Young City Lord, you can hand over the money you earn to the City Lord's Mansion."

The young dragon thought for a moment, then slowly nodded. That would be acceptable.

As the Imperial Daughter of the Farolyn Empire and its future emperor, she is not short of money.

Huh? The dragon isn't with her this time. Can she take this opportunity to slip away?

Running back to the Farolyn Empire? That doesn't seem likely. Er Gouzi is with her; Er Gouzi 'll probably find her before she even leaves Red Dragon City.

It also brought a turtle.

Besides, she's Amethyst Dragonling now, not a human girl.

Running around like Amethyst Dragonling, what if it gets captured by a powerful being and becomes their mount? Even becoming a mount would be considered lucky.

If she were to encounter a powerful Source Beast that preyed on her, the young dragon, it would be even worse.

For now, it's best to stay obediently by the dragon's side.

By following the dragon, at least you don't have to worry about becoming food or a mount.

Those who follow the evil dragon are either "Little Dragon Highness" or "Young City Lord," both of whom hold rather noble statuses.

Thinking about it that way, her luck doesn't seem so bad after all.

The moment she was cursed by Eva and turned into a dragon, she thought she might have to eat grass to survive. But she never expected that after being captured by the evil dragon as a baby dragon, she would eat meat every day, drink some Fruit Wine occasionally, and even have pocket money.

Aside from the occasional need to set up a stall, wash dishes, or take various courses, most of the time it's quite comfortable.

The premise is that the dragon shouldn't see her playing around, otherwise it won't be very friendly to her as a young dragon if it joins in.

"Young City Lord, you have the token with you, why don't you go directly to the City Lord's Mansion?"

"I've never been to Red Dragon City before, and I want to wander around Red Dragon City freely."

"Then please continue your tour. All expenses will be charged to the City Lord's Mansion's account. This is your first time here, Young City Lord Young City Lord, so please make sure you have a great time. To help you better understand where to find good food and fun activities, I'll have an elf guide from Red Dragon City show you around."

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"There's nothing wrong with it. The entire Red Dragon City belongs to the First City Lord. You are the Young City Lord, so what's wrong with eating and drinking a little? Young City Lord, please feel free to eat, drink, and have fun. Our City Lord's Mansion is not short of money."

Macao grinned, rubbing his dragon claws together as he stared at the baby dragon, looking like he had something to say but dared not.

"Do you have something to say?"

"It's not that I have anything to say, I just wanted to ask the Young City Lord, where is the First City Lord now? Is he in Red Dragon City? Or..."

"I don't know where he went, but he's definitely not in Red Dragon City. You don't need to worry about him. Before I came, he told me that I was just coming back to take a look around. All the political affairs of Red Dragon City will still be handled by the current city lord."

They wouldn't let me concern myself with the affairs of Red Dragon City, only allowing me to eat, drink, and have fun. If I couldn't find a place to sleep at night, they would make me sleep in the City Lord's Mansion.

He let me sleep in the room he used to live in.

"The place where the First City Lord lived has been empty. Young City Lord, you can go back to the First City Lord's residence tonight. Please wait a moment, I will contact a guide spirit for you and have it entertain you."

The baby dragon did not stop it.

Before coming to Red Dragon City, the evil dragon told her that if her identity was exposed, the officials of Red Dragon City would treat her warmly, and she could put aside all her worries and enjoy the hospitality of Red Dragon City to the fullest.

Eat and drink as you please, don't be shy.

Before long, a Flower Elf the size of a human's palm flew in front of her. She was the guide fairy that the Earth Dragon Macao had found.

So small.

She discovered that the Flower Elf in Red Dragon City were the smallest, and the largest Flower Elf were only a little over a meter tall.

"Young City Lord, my name is Leia. I am a guide in Red Dragon City. For the time being, I will follow you and serve you."

"Thanks."

"Young City Lord, you may go wherever you wish from now on. It doesn't matter if you get lost, Leia will follow you. She will take you to the City Lord's Mansion tonight."

I must report my encounter with you to the acting City Lord, so I'll be leaving now.

"Oh, then go ahead."

Macao nodded to the young dragon, turned and left, heading towards the City Lord's Mansion. The Young City Lord has arrived in Red Dragon City, and it seems that the First City Lord will also descend upon Red Dragon City soon.

The acting city lord can finally rest. The young dragon watched Macao leave, walked to the snake man's stall, called the dog to sit down and enjoy the stewed Big Bone.

Turtles don't really like to eat meat.

They only eat meat made from dragons.

After enjoying Big Bone at the snake man's stall, the young dragon strolled around the streets and alleys of Red Dragon City with his dog.

Around 4 PM, most officials in Red Dragon City knew that the Young City Lord had arrived; he was a Amethyst Dragonling.

A small number of residents of Red Dragon City also learned that the child raised by the First City Lord had come to Red Dragon City.

The young dragon wandered around until dark before finally arriving at the place where the First City Lord, the evil dragon, lived, led by the Flower Elf Leia.

The City Lord's Mansion is next to the palace where the evil dragon lives.

She met the acting city lord of Red Dragon City, a Skeleton Little Giant who was taller than her.

The young dragon estimated that the Skeleton Little Giant was about ten meters tall.

He was draped in a bright red cloth.

He was wearing a bright red Felt Hat.

The acting city lord was likely a subject of the Giant Race during his lifetime.

I just don't know if they're adults yet.

A giant over ten meters tall... he probably wasn't even an adult, right? He died in the Dragon Domain before he even reached adulthood?

It truly deserves to be the home of the dragon race.

The place where the dragon lived was called a palace, but it was not actually a palace at all.

A house, a small courtyard, with stone tables and chairs in the courtyard, and grapevines planted there.

There is a piece of land in the corner of the courtyard.

A fiery maple tree is planted on the left side of the yard.

Seeing the small courtyard where the dragon lived, it's not hard to imagine how the dragon enjoyed his life here back then.

Handling government affairs?

impossible.

Absolutely impossible.

It will definitely involve decentralization.

The courtyard was very clean, with no fallen leaves or dust.

The ceramic tea set and Furnace Fire on the stone table were spotless.

Surrounding the Stove to Brew Tea.

On Black Dragon Island and in Saint Blue, the dragon's favorite pastime in his spare time was to Surrounding the Stove to Brew Tea.

Holding a book in hand, brewing a pot of tea on the Furnace Fire, and placing some fruit and corn on a special grill—it's incredibly comfortable and pleasant.

When fishing on the lake in winter, he sometimes gathers around a Surrounding the Stove to Brew Tea.

Even the nobles of the capital city don't know how to enjoy life like the evil dragon.

The lazy and wicked dragon lived a more comfortable life than anyone else.

"Young City Lord, before Lord Lance went out to travel, he liked to stay in this courtyard. When I was first discovered by Lord Lance, I also stayed in this courtyard for a long time."

The giant, several meters tall, looked at every plant and tree in the courtyard with a look of reminiscence on his face.

Although there was no flesh and blood, the young dragon could see from the face of the acting city lord, the little giant, that he was reminiscing about the time he spent with the evil dragon.

"Just call me Lucia." The Red Dragon City Acting City Lord called her Young City Lord, which felt a little awkward. The evil dragon clearly recognized this little giant. If he didn't, he wouldn't have made him the second city lord of Red Dragon City.

The evil dragon certainly won't become the lord of Red Dragon City. He doesn't even want to be the lord of Holy Blue, so he probably has even less reason to want to be the lord of Red Dragon City.

"You said you were dug out by Lance?"

"Um."

"."

Dragons have actually done things like grave robbing.

Why did he dig you out?

"Lord Lance didn't dig me out of the ground on purpose. He didn't know I was buried under this land before he built this courtyard."

Then, when he was laying the foundation, he dug me out of the ground, cleaned all the dirt and other debris off my bones, and hung me in the courtyard as a decoration.

The Skeleton Little Giant pointed to the wall on the left side of the courtyard with his crystal-clear, jade-like fingers.

"At that time, I was hung there by Lord Lance. Lord Lance would sit there reading and studying during the day and at night, and occasionally he would write and draw on the ground."

Over time, those images appeared in my mind. I used to think that I was able to develop consciousness because I was very powerful, but now I think it was probably because of Lord Lance that I was able to develop consciousness.

Lord Lance likes to cultivate there, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon. I don't quite understand Lord Lance's cultivation methods.

"???"

That's outrageous.

Young Dragon felt that Lance's choice to build a house in this area was definitely not a random one.

He may have chosen this place because he felt that building a house here would be beneficial to him, based on divination or feng shui.

Then, while digging the foundation, they unearthed this little giant right in front of them.

If a normal person unearthed a giant, they would definitely feel it was bad luck.

When the dragon unearths the little giant, it might be overjoyed and say with a smile, "The place I chose is indeed a geomantically auspicious place."

Given the nature of the evil dragon, the truth is very likely to be like this.

Sometimes, the dragon's actions are just that outrageous.

A normal person... no... let alone a normal person, if a normal dragon dug up a skeleton, it certainly wouldn't clean it with a brush and hang it on the wall of its yard as a decoration.

It only breathes a single breath of Dragon Breath, burning the dug-up skeletons to ashes.

The fact that the dragon did this suggests that it may have guessed something when it chose this location.

He is proficient in too many things.

It is quite possible to learn something in advance through divination.

"When Lance dug you out and hung you on the courtyard wall, were you unaware of anything?"

"No, but I remember everything Lord Lance did in the courtyard when I was conscious."

"Magic."

"It's quite amazing, Lucia. I'd like to see Lord Lance Lord Lance. I haven't seen him in a long time, and I miss him."

"He's not with me anymore, so let's wait. He might come back to Red Dragon City after he's done with his work. Don't think about giving him back the City Lord Position Red Dragon City; City Lord Position has no interest in it."

"Perhaps when he dug you out of the ground, he already planned for you to inherit his City Lord Position."

"It's possible. In the years since Lord Lance left, I've occasionally recalled the moments I spent with him and discovered that he had imparted some knowledge about governing Red Lord Lance Red Dragon City to me long ago."

After he became the lord of Red Dragon City, he didn't really manage Red Dragon City properly, handing it all over to me, saying he trusted me. Now that I think about it, Lord Lance was clearly exploiting me."

"He's absolutely exploiting you. Does he even pay you a salary?"

"They never paid me a salary. They just applied Medicated Oil to my bones every month and then asked me to earn money to support him."

Oh, by the way, Lucia, do you know how to pronounce those eight characters on the keepsake?

"I know, I have received the mandate of Heaven, and my life will be long and prosperous."
