I Didn't Want to See You Off, So I Chose to Have You See Me Off

Leige wanted to have a deeper conversation with the black dragon in front of him.

Black Dragon seemed to have a rough idea of his strength, otherwise he wouldn't have suggested that he travel around.

He really didn't want to admit that a black dragon might be a powerhouse of the same level as him. In his mind, with his current strength, he should be able to easily suppress even Pure-Blooded Dragon.

But he couldn't easily suppress the black dragon before him.

That's outrageous.

Why is a black dragon so powerful?

Does the Black Dragon know how powerful it is, even though the dragons from Dragon Island are? "You have gained the friendship of the Black Lance. Goodbye, Leige."

Before Lance soared into the sky and disappeared into the horizon, Lance's voice echoed in the minds of Aroman, Wanxiang, Huoxiong, Space-Rending Butterfly, and Snow Woman Nu at the same time. "Do not announce to the outside world that the lord of Red Dragon City is a black dragon for the time being. If possible, it is best not to publicize it to the outside world for the rest of your life."

I prefer to keep a low profile, and I only act high-profile when it comes to friends I respect. Also, please don't harm that Fallen Heroic Spirit; you'll find out why in a few days.

Aroman, let Venus, Amelia, Leige stay in your Peacock City for now. I will come to Peacock City to see you tonight or tomorrow.

Snow Woman, Butterfly, I'll invite you to play mahjong another day.

The moment the words faded from his mind, the black Lance also disappeared into the sky.

"That damned black dragon"

"Aroman, before we've established a complete domain, let's not bother with the Black Lance for now. We can't beat him."

"Our combined attack technique is strong, but I didn't expect Red.Black Dog Lance to be this strong. That guy is definitely not a sub-dragon whose bloodline is close to that of Pure-Blooded Dragon. I suspect that he was originally a Pure-Blooded Black Dragon."

"There's no doubt about it. Even Pure-Blooded Dragon's body might not be as big as his. I suspect he's still in his growth stage, and his body might continue to grow. I don't even want to think about how big he'll eventually get."

Legend has it that the smallest pure-blooded Behemoth is over two thousand meters long, and the largest is five or six thousand meters. The black Lance Lans might even grow to the size of a pure-blooded Behemoth.

"Fire Bear, you still have a chance. Become a pure-blooded Behemoth Fire Bear before Black Dragon. Then, one punch from you will be enough to kill Black Dog half to death."

"Just wait, one day I will become a pure-blooded Behemoth and help you beat that damned black dragon to a pulp."

As they approached Red Dragon City, Lance transformed into a human and entered the Red Dragon City in human form.

Red Dragon City has grown bigger and is better planned. Walking down the street, you can see trash cans every now and then.

On the main street, a parrot perched on a large tree branch, directing traffic.

Within the city, there were Extraordinary Person human beings, traveling in twos and threes.

When encountering Source Beast setting up stalls, some will walk up to the stalls to take a look, and if they find any items that interest them, they will pay for them.

There weren't as many human Extraordinary Person in the city as he had imagined; most were bipedal or Source Beast capable of transforming into human bodies with animal heads.

After a cursory glance at the city's layout, he headed towards the City Lord's Mansion.

Whether the dragon cub is in the City Lord's Mansion or not, he has to go to the City Lord's Mansion first.

It would be best if he were in the City Lord's Mansion City Lord's Mansion. If he wasn't, he might have to use his status as the First City Lord to mobilize the power of Red Dragon City and have them help him find his son.

With dogs and turtles following him, he wasn't afraid that the dragon cub would encounter danger.

The worst thing is that the dragon cub might encounter a scoundrel, carefree, and heartless human teenager.

Upon entering the area where the City Lord's Mansion was located, Lance was stopped by dragonmen dressed in armor.

"Human beings with Extraordinary Person, please proceed with caution. If you are visiting Red Dragon City, please detour to other areas. This area is not open to the public."

Lance, dressed in a black casual outfit, took out a black dragon token from the Diamond Cutter.

The front of the token reads, "Seeing this token is like seeing the city lord."

The back of the token is engraved with a black dragon.

Lance handed the black dragon token in his hand to the dragon soldier.

The dragon soldier took the Black Dragon Token and looked at it, his vertical pupils showing a look of doubt. How could a human possess a Black Dragon Token? There are only three Black Dragon Tokens: one is on the current city lord, one is on the commander in charge of the Red Dragon City army, and the last one is on the First City Lord.

???

The First City Lord?

The dragon soldier Rosario thought of the "Young City Lord" who had appeared in the city yesterday.

The Young City Lord is holding the Black Dragon Jade Seal, while the human in front of him is holding the Black Dragon Token. Could this human be a member of the clan that the First City Lord developed outside the city?

"What's your name? And what's your relationship to the First City Lord of Red Dragon City?"

"My name is Lance."

"???"

This is the name of the First City Lord. Wait, could this human in front of me be the First City Lord?!

The First City Lord was a red dragon, so it doesn't seem impossible that he could transform into a human.

"You are... the very First City Lord?"

"You can call me that."

"It really is the First City Lord!!!" The dragonman soldier Rosario respectfully handed the black dragon token back to Lance and immediately knelt on one knee. "Rosario Reed, a dragonman soldier, greets the First City Lord."

"Get up. Did a Amethyst Dragonling come to the City Lord's Mansion yesterday?"

"Yes, yes, yes, the Young City Lord went out for a stroll in Red Dragon City this morning and bought some ingredients. He is now in the place where you, the First City Lord, used to live."

"Continue standing guard. I'll go find him myself. From now on, don't call me the First City Lord. Just call me Lance."

Lance patted the dragonman soldier on the shoulder and continued walking towards the City Lord's Mansion.

In the area around the City Lord's Mansion, you can see a dragon soldier every ten meters or so, and sometimes you can even see Earth Dragon lying on the ground.

Flying dragons occasionally patrol the skies above the City Lord's Mansion.

Holding the Black Dragon Token, wherever Lance went, the dragon soldiers knelt on one knee, and the sub-dragons guarding the City Lord's Mansion, such as the Earth Dragon, unicorn dragons, and two-headed dragons, all stood up and bowed to Lance.

To save trouble, Lance released a little bit of his dragon might. If anyone doubted his identity as a sub-dragon, his eyes would instantly turn into vertical pupils.

The dragon-human form cannot be transformed for the time being. The Dragon Scale Armor is damaged, and the dragon-human form is a black dragon form.

Broken!

I returned in such a hurry that I forgot to ask Aroman and Wanxiang to compensate me for my losses.

Forget it, I'll talk to them about compensation later.

He arrived at the Skull Courtyard where he used to live without any hindrance.

A large two-headed dog lay flat on the ground in front of the courtyard gate, basking in the sun, seemingly drowsy.

A dog head heard footsteps, opened its eyes and glanced at the person, seeing that it was Lance who had transformed into a human, then slowly closed its eyes again.

The sun softened its body, making it unwilling to get up; sticking out its tongue a few times was enough.

The dog, which had closed its eyes, opened them again, stuck its tongue out at Lance a few times, then closed its eyes again, becoming a lazy dog once more. "Lance?"

A skull head peeked out from behind the wall of the Skull Courtyard, looking Lance up and down.

"Lance? Where is he? Where is he?"

Not far from the skull, another Amethyst Dragonling head appeared, with a turtle growing on its head.

I see it, I see it, it is indeed an evil dragon.

How did a dragon appear in Red Dragon City disguised as a human? Shouldn't a red dragon's hair be fiery red when it transforms into a human?

His hair is black; he's too lazy to even pretend.

"Silvi, it's been a long time."

"It really is Lord Lance! You can turn into a human now?"

"Hmm." Lance's gaze fell on the dragon cub. "It seems you and Silvi are getting along quite well."

"Hey." Young Dragon grinned. "We get along really well. I'm planning to treat him to hot pot. I bought the ingredients at the market this morning, and the City Lord's Mansion paid for them. I've already spent all my pocket money."

"Prepare some bowls and chopsticks for me, I'll eat something too. Stop peeking over the wall, you'll tear it down if you keep doing that."

Lance entered the courtyard, where clean vegetables and meat rolls were already laid out on the stone table.

The Skeleton Little Giant Silvi stood beside Lance, excited but also a little confused. Why was Lord Lance's hair black after he transformed into human form? Shouldn't it be fiery red? And the color of Lord Lance's pupils was wrong too; they should be fiery red.

The color of Lord Lance's eyes is golden-red.

But that familiar feeling told him that the human in front of him was indeed the real Lord Lance.

"We're all family, so don't be shy and relax."

Lance walked to his usual spot and sat down. The broth in the pot was boiling. He picked up a plate of beef rolls and poured them into the pot. There were three broths: tomato, spicy, and mushroom.

The young dragon picked up a plate of mutton rolls and poured them into the spicy soup pot. She likes spicy food, while the evil dragon likes mushroom soup, tomato soup, and occasionally spicy soup.

The evil dragon cultivates its life.

Silvi had never eaten hot pot before; this was her first time trying it, just to give it a taste.

"Lance, may I have some Fruit Wine?"

"Can."

The young dragon smiled and took out a bottle of Fruit Wine and two wine glasses from the Lucky Coin.

Pour a glass of Fruit Wine for the dragon, hand the glass to the dragon, and the young dragon sits down to enjoy the food he made.

"A pure-blooded red dragon has been to Red Dragon City?"

"Yes, that pure-blooded red dragon came here to warn us that the city lord of Red Dragon City is not allowed to call himself the Red Dragon King. He said that Lord Lance is not worthy of the title ' Red Dragon King '."

"Has there been an attack on Red Dragon City?"

"No, our Red Dragon City is actually quite strong. A pure-blooded red dragon is no threat to our Red Dragon City."

Lance nodded, picked up a slice of beef roll with his chopsticks, dipped it in the sauce, and ate it. After a few bites, he put down his chopsticks and asked, "Besides the Red Dragon, was there another human boy, Fallen Heroic Spirit, who appeared in our Red Dragon City?"

"Yes, the human boy wanted to invite you to be his companion, but I chased him away. The Fallen Heroic Spirit secretly infiltrated our Red Dragon City and stole some information related to you, Lord Lance. That Fallen Heroic Spirit also came to the Skull Courtyard."

They even broke into your bedroom and study.

Did they steal some information about him?

Is he trying to find out if Lance, the lord of Red Dragon City, has any connection with his teammate Lance?

Tonight, as Dark Heroic Spirit Summoner, I'll try to summon Iliya.

Fallen Heroic Spirit generally do not become the guardian Heroic Spirits of Dark Heroic Spirit Summoner; they only have a cooperative relationship.

"Stop talking, try the hot pot that Dragon Cub made. If you can't eat it, at least smell it."

"."

Lord Lance still cares about him and cherishes him as always.

"Little Dragon, if a handsome, carefree human boy invited you to be his friend, would you accept?"

"???"

The young dragon, who had just rolled a large ball of mutton into vegetables, looked at the evil dragon with a puzzled expression.

Does this question even need an answer?

She definitely won't agree.

As Imperial Princess and the future emperor, how could she possibly become a companion to some human boy?

Why would she give up being an emperor to become some boy's companion? It's not like she hasn't seen handsome human boys before.

"I won't agree."

Why wouldn't you agree?

"I am a young dragon destined to be emperor, and I will not become a companion to any human boy."

"What would you do if he relentlessly begged you to be his teammate?"

"Beat him up."

Lance smiled. That was a cool answer. He hoped the little dragon would keep his word.

"What if you find yourself unable to beat them then?"

The young dragon dipped the rolled-up meat roll in the sauce, put it in its mouth, thought for a while, and then shook its head at Lance.

If we can't win, we certainly can't escape either.

"Throw a teleportation scroll to send the guy who's been bothering you away. I'll prepare more teleportation scrolls for you in a while, so that if you encounter any shameless human teenagers like this in the future, just use the teleportation scroll on them."

The young dragon nodded, eating its food, unable to speak.

Listen to the dragon, and you won't suffer any loss.

The dragon cub has been vaccinated.

Lance's appetite also returned; there was plenty of food, and it would be a waste not to eat it.

Unable to pick up the meat with chopsticks, Silvi simply stuck her fair, jade-like index finger into the soup pot to use as chopsticks.

Upon seeing this, Lance's newly awakened appetite vanished.

The mushroom soup has turned into bone broth. "Lord Lance, should we announce your return to Red Dragon City?"

"No need. From today onwards, you are the second city lord of Red Dragon City. Feel free to drop the word 'acting'."

"???"

"No, Lord Lance, are you coming back or leaving again?"

"Okay, before I leave, I'll give you my contact information. If you encounter any crises in Red Dragon City that you can't handle, contact me."

Silvi, you are now a qualified city lord. I trust you with Red Dragon City. Oh, and there's one more thing I need to tell you: my true form isn't a red dragon, but a black dragon.

The Peacock City Lord, Myriad Forms City, Lava City, Ten Thousand Flowers Garden City, and Fire Bear City just saw my true form today.

As for the fact that my true form is a black dragon, that's best kept to yourself; don't spread it around.

"???"

Lord Lance is not a red dragon?

It was a black dragon?!

Silvi thought of the Black Dragon Token and the Black Dragon Jade Seal, realizing that carving a black dragon on the jade seal and token, which symbolized the authority of Red Dragon City, was not simply for anti-counterfeiting purposes.

It's because Lord Lance's true form is a black dragon. In the time it takes to eat a meal, Lord Lance transformed from a red dragon into a black dragon. "I will keep this secret for Lord Lance!"

It doesn't matter. He is loyal to Lord Lance, not to Lord Lance's identity. Even if Lord Lance's true form is not a red dragon but a black Lord Lance, he will still be loyal to this lord.

After lunch, Silvi farewell to Lance and left Skull Courtyard because she still had some official business to attend to.

With nothing to do, Lance wandered around the courtyard a few times, then came to the fruit tree outside the courtyard, took out a rocking chair, lay down on it, and closed his eyes to pretend to doze off.

The young dragon spread a cloth over the rocking chair Lance had placed, lay down on it, and wanted to take a nap.

Around 5 p. m., Silvi appeared outside the Skull Courtyard. Seeing Lance lying on the rocking chair with his eyes closed, he stood there and said, "Lord Lance, Lord Aroman of Peacock City Lord has teleported two humans and one elf over."

She said Peacock City doesn't support idlers.

???

Lance opened his eyes and saw Leige, Venus, Amelia standing beside Silvi's leg bone.

When Leige saw Lance lying in the rocking chair, his face showed disbelief. This guy was actually still alive!

When Venus saw Lance, a look of astonishment appeared in her red eyes. Didn't Amelia say that Lance's domain had been destroyed by the Sacred Golden Dragon and that he might not be able to come to the Dragon Domain Realm? Then how come he's now in the Dragon Domain? And in Red Dragon City? Just now, the Skeleton Giant Silvi, the city lord of Red Dragon City, addressed Lance as "Sir".

The city lord of Red Dragon City addresses Lance as "Sir," what does that mean? Amelia gritted her teeth, then a look of anticipation appeared on her face; she didn't betray the liar.

It was Aroman, the Peacock City Lord, who teleported them to Red Dragon City.

To her surprise, the conman Lance who came to Red Dragon City was not in his black dragon form, but had transformed into a human.

Hey.

Leige and Venus caught us red-handed, didn't they? "Lance, you... you're actually still alive!"

Leige wanted to give Lance a big hug, but Silvi stopped him, as he was not yet clear about the relationship between the two people, the elf, and Lord Lance.

"It's alright, those three are my friends, there's no need to be wary of them."

Upon hearing Lance's words, Silvi lowered his guard.

"Long time no see, Leige."

"Long time no see, Lance!"

Leige walked up to Lance and gave Lance a firm hug.

"What are you doing in Red Dragon City? No, the Peacock City Lord said that Silvi is the Red Dragon City Lord, but this Lord Silvi just called you Lord Lance?"

Could Lance explain this?

"Lord Lance was the First City Lord Red Dragon City."

Silvi told Leige the reason why he called Lance" sir".

There's a bit too much information.

Leige's mind was quickly trying to sort out the information he had gathered.

Lance was the First City Lord of Red Dragon City.

The First City Lord of Red Dragon City was the Red Lance Lance, whose true identity was a black dragon.

???

His teammate wasn't human? But a black dragon? "You're not human?!"

"Yes, I am not human, but a black dragon, Pure-Blooded Black Dragon Lance."

Damn it! That old bastard deserves to die! Over a thousand years ago, he lied to them, claiming to be Potion Master, and even faked his death.

More than a thousand years later, he learned that this old man was still alive and was a powerful swordsman.

He had already accepted that Lance was a powerful old man, but now this old thing was telling him that he wasn't human!

It was a black dragon!!! A black dragon that had struck him with lightning!!!

Does a teammate treat their partner like this? Venus's expression also froze. Lan... Lance isn't human? But a Pure-Blooded Black Dragon?

Does that mean the black dragon that struck them with lightning this morning was Lance?! "Amelia."

"Don't look at me, I only guessed his identity this morning. Before he left, he told me not to tell you his identity for the time being."

Now, if either of you has any questions, just ask him.

"Lance, why did you lie to us?"

"I didn't lie to you. When the Human Lance was with you, he never deceived you. The black dragon Lance only came online after you achieved success and the Human Lance [died]."

If Amelia hadn't met me in Saint Blue that day, I probably wouldn't have appeared before you as [Human Lance] in my lifetime.

I don't want to watch you die before me. Rather than have me see you off in your final days, I'd rather you see me off.
