If it weren't for his fear of this human's dragon-slaying power, he would have killed the human with a single Dragon Breath the moment the human mentioned that the fish in the lake had lived for over five hundred years.

How big can a fish that's over 500 years old grow? Humans probably haven't seen that. The longest-lived fish in the lake not far from the Dragon God Temple are only a little over 100 years old.

This was the first time he had encountered a dragon so brazenly trying to extort money from him.

"I've never heard of humans extorting dragons. That's because humans with the power to extort dragons choose to have it all—gold and silver treasures, and the dragon itself. After all, dragons are treasures from head to toe; they can be used as mounts, pets, and have extremely high medicinal value."

What powerful human could resist a dragon whose entire body is a treasure trove, laden with gold and jewels?

This is a red dragon that has never encountered a powerful human.

Indeed, in the Dragon Eye, the vast majority of humans are not even qualified to challenge them; only a small number of Extraordinary Person humans are qualified to challenge and fight dragons.

Among this small group of humans, there are those who can easily defeat or even kill dragons.

Even Pure-Blooded Dragon would be in mortal danger if it encountered humans like this.

The title of "Dragon Slayer" is quite tempting for human Extraordinary Person.

In the minds of Extraordinary Person human beings, there are three things they want to do in their lifetime.

First task: Slay the Demon King.

The second task: to defeat the evil dragon.

The third thing: Marry a princess.

"Money? No. Life? I won't give you either. Goodbye, humans!" The red dragon flapped its wings and soared into the Dragon Domain. "If you want money or life, come find me in the Dragon Domain! I am the first Red Dragon City Red Dragon King City in the Dragon Domain Red Dragon City!"

???

The First City Lord Red Dragon City in Dragon Domain, the Red Dragon King?

The young dragon was shocked. Good heavens! If she hadn't known that the evil dragon was the First City Lord Red Dragon City, she might have believed what the red dragon said.

The genuine Red Dragon owns a city, and naming the city Red Dragon City is perfectly reasonable, legal, and compliant.

However, given how vast the Dragon Domain is, the possibility of a second Red Dragon City cannot be ruled out.

"Lance... hey? Where did he go?"

The young dragon poked at Lance's back with its claws but missed, only then realizing that Lance had disappeared sometime during the night.

Where did you go? I saw you.

He appeared on the red dragon's back.

The First City Lord Red Dragon City not only ate the fish from his lake, but also impersonated him.

It seems this red dragon did indeed come from the Dragon Domain.

How did the dragons of the Dragon Domain obtain the news? It's understandable that the dragons of the Sky Sea Domain knew that a Dragon God Temple had appeared in Holy Blue.

In the Dragon Domain, only dragons that have signed contracts with other temples and learned of this news through those temples could find out.

The red dragon doesn't seem to be a dragon that has signed a pact with the temple.

It's more like a giant dragon roaming freely in the human world.

"Human, how dare you fly onto my back?!"

Sensing that there was someone on its back, the red dragon spun around in the air a few times, trying to shake off the human on its back.

After rolling several times to make sure no one was on his back, he grinned maliciously and was about to turn around and mock the human who had almost killed him when, in that instant, he saw that the human had grabbed his dragon tail.

Innocent.

Did you think that by grabbing his dragon tail, he wouldn't be able to escape?

In the sky, dragons reign supreme!

boom--

The red dragon flapped its wings, trying to drag Lance through the air, but he found that the dragon's body did not move forward at all, and remained in place.

What's going on?!

Why didn't it fly away? The red dragon refused to believe it and flapped its wings repeatedly, but its body remained in the same place. It flapped its wings again and again, and its wings created afterimages as it flapped them, but it still remained in the same place. It was over!

We've encountered a monster! Standing in mid-air and controlling a red dragon over a hundred meters long with one hand—how much power would that require?

Even as a dragon, he lacked the confidence to control a member of his own kind in the void with just one dragon claw.

As a result, this dragon was controlled by a human with one hand today.

"Human, that is me."

"Transform into your dragon form and communicate with me."

Lance used his right hand to swing the red dragon and throw it to the ground.

The red dragon crashed heavily to the ground, wincing in pain. What a terrifying human.

His strength is too great.

There was no way to run away, so I could only temporarily transform into my dragon-human form and try to communicate with this human to see what he wanted me to do.

He definitely couldn't come up with five million gold coins.

I can't come up with 50,000 gold coins! But 5,000... well, 500 gold coins... I can manage if I grit my teeth.

Fiery flames shot into the sky, and when the flames disappeared, a young man with fiery red horns on his head, a dragon tail trailing behind him, and long fiery red hair appeared before Ticia, Claire, and the young Dragon Eye.

With a flash of light and shadow, Lance appeared in front of the red dragon, who had transformed into a dragon-man.

"I have no money, I really have no money. Don't even mention five million gold coins, I can't even come up with fifty thousand gold coins."

"Didn't you just say you were the First City Lord Red Dragon City? As the city lord of a city, you can't even come up with five million gold coins? Do you think I'd believe that?"

"I was just kidding. I'm not the lord of Red Dragon City. But if you're willing to let me go, I can go to Red Dragon City and see if I can borrow some money from the real First City Lord of Red Dragon City."

Lance smiled.

Red Dragon is quite audacious; not only did he impersonate him, but he also wanted to borrow money from him, the First City Lord.

His First City Lord is that he only has five million gold coins, yet he still needs to raise the dragon cub by setting up a stall? Should he give this red dragon a chance to borrow money from him? Borrowing money is just a pretense.

It's true that he, as a pure-blooded red dragon, bullied him, the first Red Dragon King.

They called it a loan, but in reality, they were exploiting the Red Dragon King.

The idea is good, but if that day ever comes, Red Dragon will probably be in debt again.

It's pointless.

There's no point in bullying a weak red dragon.

He definitely had money on him, but he was reluctant to take it out, so he couldn't just rob him directly.

She should set an example for the dragon cub; even if she wants to be an evil dragon when she grows up, she should be an evil dragon unlike any other.

"If you don't have money, then sign a five-year cooperation agreement with Saint Blue. During these five years, Saint Blue will not restrict your freedom, but when Saint Blue needs you, you must fight for Saint Blue."

Five years from now, the contract will automatically terminate. If you disagree, you can either shed some blood, leave behind your dragon horns, or leave behind a dragon claw.

"Choose. I'll give you another chance, since you and my dragon cub are of the same race."

"You want to enslave me?"

"It's a cooperation agreement, not Dragon Knight Contract."

"Five years is too long, three years!"

"Can."

Three years is enough time.

The reason for having the Red Dragon and Saint Blue sign a cooperation agreement is that the existence of the Pure-Blooded Dragon can deter some of the restless forces around Saint Blue.

Once Saint Blue overcomes this financial crisis, the fate of the Red Dragon will be of no importance to him.

They agreed just like that? The red dragon felt he had lost out big time. If he had known that humans would agree so readily, he would have said a year earlier.

"I misspoke earlier, it should be one year."

"Ticia, Claire, heat the oil in the wok. We're having Dragon Meat tonight."

Lance suddenly had a cleaver in his hand. When the red dragon saw it, a look of panic appeared in its fiery red vertical pupils. This guy is serious.

The cleaver in the human's hand was no ordinary knife; it was a supernatural weapon capable of cleaving through the scales of a dragon.

"Three years, three years, three years, just three years. I was just kidding. Why did you take it seriously? I need to see the contents of the contract."

"The contract contains only one sentence: If Saint Blue is in trouble, no matter where you are, you must appear in Saint Blue as quickly as possible and fight for Saint Blue."

"???"

Red Dragon was stunned. In fact, there was no restriction on his freedom. With just this one sentence, after signing the contract, he could leave Saint Blue at any time and go to other places.

If you do that, it won't be considered a breach of contract.

"I don't have to stay in Saint Blue forever?"

"You'd better not leave Saint Blue within the next six months. Saint Blue is currently facing a financial crisis and war could break out at any time. If you stay in Saint Blue, the possibility of war will be reduced."

The powers and kingdoms surrounding Saint Blue are not strong enough to ignore a pure-blooded red dragon.

Lance, not wanting to play games with the red dragon, directly stated his purpose in signing the contract with the red dragon.

It's a very simple thing, there's no need to make it so complicated.

"Six months later, Saint Blue will have overcome its financial crisis. You can leave at any time. If Saint Blue does not summon you during your absence, you do not need to come back."

Once the contract expires, Saint Blue will automatically terminate the contract with you.

"I'll sign this contract!"

The dragon only stayed in Saint Blue for half a year, which is just a blink of an eye for it.

Take a nap. Maybe a year will have passed.

"You'll be provided with accommodation, but not food. And you have to make up for it with the fish from the lake."

"All right."

The contract was already signed, so making up for the fish he ate wouldn't be difficult for him.

Now I understand why the Dragon God would acknowledge this human. He's too strong, and his way of doing things is different from the humans he's encountered before.

It's straightforward and easygoing; it doesn't beat around the bush.

If anyone else were to sign a contract with him, the contents of the contract would probably be five or six meters long.

The crisis caused by the red dragon was thus resolved.

Ticia thought it was so fast.

From the time the Viscount returned to the time he signed the contract with the Red Dragon, how long did it take? Less than an hour.

It has to be the Viscount. But something just feels off.

The Viscount can concoct potions and summon Source Beast.

The question is, can a summoner be strong enough to swing a dragon with one hand?

Or perhaps, when the Viscount tamed the Source Beast, he didn't cultivate a bond with Source Beast like other summoners, but instead relied on his immense power to beat Source Beast half to death before signing a contract with them? Either way, the Viscount is ridiculously strong. No wonder he dared to come to Saint Blue alone back then Claire also realized this; when her subordinates opposed her Entering Sainthood Blue, they tried to challenge the Viscount. Then, the Viscount's tortoise Pet Beast, half the size of a small mountain, along with a Two-Headed Hellhound, directly shattered their fighting spirit.

I originally thought that the Viscount of Saint Blue was a weak nobleman, but I never expected that he was a nobleman with the hidden power to slay dragons.

Galuowei of the Saint Blue Knight Legion lowered his head in shame, never expecting the Earl to be so powerful.

A count with the power to slay dragons and a duchy with boundless potential, he is perfectly worthy of Princess Claire.

Unfortunately, the count didn't seem to have any such intention.

Princess Claire is quite beautiful, so why doesn't this Earl have any interest in dating Princess Claire? If they were to date, get married, and have children, Princess Claire's children would still be royalty.

The Saint Blue Knight Legion have withdrawn.

Ticia and Claire reported the current situation of Saint Blue to Lance and then left to attend to their own business.

Recently, the officials at Saint-Lan have been quite busy.

If the Red Dragon hadn't wanted to seize the Viscount's mansion for himself, they wouldn't be here today.

Lance is here, and he's not planning to leave tonight.

We'll stay in Saint Blue for one night and return to Alchemy City tomorrow.

With the Red Dragon's matter resolved, Lance assumed that the Grim Reaper from the Small Underworld would leave Saint Blue, but unexpectedly, this Grim Reaper stayed until nightfall.

During this time, he kept brainwashing his dragon cub, trying to get his dragon cub to sign Soul Retriever Contract with him.

He also asked what his relationship was with the dragon cub.

When the Grim Reaper from Hell learned from the dragon cub that this human, strong enough to defeat a dragon, had raised her as a cub.

Their attitude became even more attentive.

With such a powerful figure as his backer, if he were to develop this timid little dragon into Soul Retriever, and if the Grim Reaper from Hell dared to bully this soul-reaper signed by their Small Underworld Soul Retriever, wouldn't this incredibly fierce human beat the Grim Reaper into a mental idiot? One thing that made him a little uncomfortable was that this incredibly fierce human seemed to glance at his location from time to time.

Could this powerful figure really see him, Small Underworld Soul Retriever? That shouldn't be possible. It's normal for a legendary-level human powerhouse to see him; this powerful figure before me shouldn't even be a legendary-level powerhouse, right?

Defeating a dragon doesn't make you a legendary powerhouse.

Besides their legendary status, these legendary figures possessed strength that was nearly divine, with some even capable of War God Spirit.

Inside the small courtyard of the Prince's Mansion.

The Grim Reaper of Hell floated behind the dragon cub, holding special paper and a pen, tempting the dragon cub to sign Soul Retriever Contract with him.

Honglong wasn't in the courtyard; he was repairing the lawn outside the Prince's Palace.

"Little Dragon, this Soul Retriever Contract... wait a minute, Little Dragon, I'll tell you about the Soul Retriever Contract later. I suspect that powerful person can see me. I'll go confirm it."

The Grim Reaper from the Small Underworld floated in front of Lance, staring intently into Lance's eyes. As he stared, Lance began to feel something was amiss. This formidable figure seemed to be staring back at him. "Um... formidable one, can you see me?"

"I can't see it."

"!!!"

You can hear him speaking, how dare you say you can't see him?

Oh no! If that powerful figure can see him, doesn't that mean he saw everything—his coercion and manipulation of the little dragon into signing the Soul Retriever Contract? Whoosh—

Lance blew a breath, and the hat on the head of the Grim Reaper of the Small Underworld was blown off by his breath.

It is Little Devil with black horns on its head.

It looks familiar.
