Chapter 26: A Death God Hoping for the Black Dragon's Death???
The young dragon's dreams were strange and unreliable, even more so than the dreams of him, a grown Black Dragon.
At least when he was a child, he never thought about running to the human world to become an emperor.
Not just when he was a child, he hadn't even entertained the thought after becoming an adult.
The young dragon he picked up was different; at such a young age, she wanted to run to the human world to become an emperor. He didn't know if she was really inspired by him.
"In theory, becoming an emperor does allow you to do whatever you want and be above the law, provided you're a foolish ruler, the kind who doesn't care about anything and only focuses on enjoying themselves. Being that kind of emperor is the most comfortable.
The only downside is... the ending might not be so good. You'll either be sent to the guillotine by rebels or to the gallows. A foolish ruler's ending has no other path but death."
"."
If she became an emperor, she definitely wouldn't become the foolish ruler the evil dragon spoke of. Under her rule, the Farolyn Empire would become stronger than ever before.
The people in the remote villages and towns of the empire would no longer go hungry, because she would be farming by then.
If she was smart enough, she might even learn how to cultivate apples bigger than watermelons, and corn as big as the ancestor of corn.
She was serious about wanting to be an emperor.
Wasn't an emperor who knew how to farm better than that stinky Imperial Sister who liked to play tricks every day?
"I won't be a foolish ruler; I want to be a good emperor."
"Don't be a good emperor; be an evil dragon. If you think being an evil dragon is boring, then wait until I die of old age, and I'll let you inherit my [Trainee Death God] position."
"."
The young dragon secretly rolled her eyes at the evil dragon. Waiting for the evil dragon to die of old age? By the time the evil dragon died of old age... she didn't know how many times she would have been reincarnated. And also... what was a Trainee Death God?
Weren't Death Gods all in Hell?
She didn't want to work for Hell. Rather than becoming a Trainee Death God, she would rather be a Trainee Angel. "After the evil dragon dies of old age and goes to Hell, can he become a Death God? I heard that after our dragon race dies, the dragons on Dragon Island will guard Dragon Island in the form of a Dragon Soul, and the dragon body will decompose into the original Source Energy, nourishing Dragon Island. Dragons outside Dragon Island, after death... will become Undead Bone Dragons, becoming mounts for some powerful Necromancers or Dark Wizards. I've never heard of an evil dragon becoming a Death God."
Lucia suspected that the evil dragon was drawing her a big cake. Becoming a Trainee Death God felt as difficult as becoming a Trainee Angel.
"You're a young dragon; you haven't experienced much. When you reach my age, you'll find that there are many strange professions in this world."
"I still think being an emperor is more interesting. I want to become the first evil dragon in history to be an emperor in the human world! That way, I'll be remembered in history faster."
"."
"Running to the human world to be an emperor for fun isn't impossible, but the prerequisite is that you have great strength. Without great strength to protect you, if you mess up... you'll definitely be hunted down by the Temple and the strong people in the human world.
If you have great strength to protect you, then it doesn't matter. You can slack off and lie flat at any time, or you can run away at any time."
"I will work hard for my dream!"
"Then good luck to you."
"Yes." Lucia's eyes fell on the paintings on the wall. "Lance, can you tell me which of the humans or non-humans in these paintings are your strong enemies?"
"The one hanging in the corner... um... I have something I need to deal with first."
The [Death God] in Hell who was responsible for contacting him had indeed noticed, and even took the initiative to contact him. Could it be that he was going to be paid? If he got paid for slacking off, then he could work for Hell until he died of old age, and even after death, he would still be willing to continue working for Hell.
Lucia saw the Black Dragon's dragon body shrink, shrinking to about three meters, the size it was last night. If she took advantage of the Black Dragon shrinking to pat the Black Dragon's head, would the Black Dragon beat her? Should she try?
The young dragon watched as the Black Dragon's head raised a dragon claw, and just as the young dragon's dragon claw was about to touch the Black Dragon's head, a jet-black Scythe spun out from the Black Dragon's horns, flying past her dragon claw and into the space above the Desk.
Scaring the young dragon.
So close. That Scythe almost sliced off her dragon claw, so terrifying. She just wanted to touch the Black Dragon's head, and her dragon claw almost disappeared. Wuwuwu... When I touched my Imperial Sister's head, I didn't bite you.
She just wanted to try, and the Black Dragon almost used the Scythe to chop off her dragon claw. The Scythe, emitting a black mist, rotated for a moment in the space above the Desk and then stopped.
Hugging her dragon claw and curled up in the corner of the Study, the young dragon saw a beam of light suddenly light up on the Scythe, and then she saw a mysterious person wearing a black robe, a mask on their face, standing on the Scythe in the light screen.
A projection?
The Scythe was actually a magical artifact with projection capabilities?
This kind of magical artifact is very expensive, and the price is determined by the distance of the projection.
Magical artifacts for short-range projections are cheap.
Magical artifacts for long-range projections are expensive.
Magical artifacts that can project over ultra-long distances are in the hands of wealthy powerhouses.
Who is the mysterious person in the projection? "Why aren't you dead yet?"
"."
Envy appeared in the young dragon's vertical pupils.
A powerhouse! Definitely a powerhouse. Who else would dare to open their mouth and ask [Why isn't the Black Dragon dead yet?]
"Never seen a leader hoping their employees die quickly. It's been hundreds of years since we've been in contact. Why did you suddenly think of me?"
"I sensed your undead aura in Hell and thought you were dead, coming to report to Hell. I excitedly went to welcome you... I didn't expect you weren't dead, still alive. You've been a Trainee Death God for so many years, don't you want a promotion and a raise? If you do, can you die a little sooner, you bastard!
The Death Gods who were with me at the same time have all been promoted, gotten raises, and gone to Heaven for vacation, and I'm still stuck in Hell. I'm waiting, waiting for you to die, but you're still alive. How long are you going to live?
Buddy, you've lived for nearly eighteen hundred years. You're so good at living, wouldn't it have been better to become a clergyman back then? Why did you run off to become a Trainee Death God? Tell me, how many more years can you live? So I can have something to look forward to. Also, you look really ugly right now, can you turn back into a human and talk to me?"
The Death God standing on the Scythe was ranting madly. When Lance, that bastard, first became his subordinate, he was very happy because Lance, that bastard, was very capable. He could easily complete some bounty missions issued by Hell.
In the first hundred years that Lance was his Trainee Death God, his performance was the best in Hell.
In the third hundred years that Lance was his Trainee Death God, the salary he paid out was the highest.
In the sixth hundred years that Lance was his Trainee Death God, Lance became the longest-living Trainee Death God on the continent.
In the seventh hundred years that Lance was his Trainee Death God, this Death God hoped that Lance, this excellent Trainee Death God, would die.
Wanting to give this excellent Trainee Death God a promotion and a raise, wanting him to take over his position.
This hope... has been going on for more than a thousand years... and there's still no end in sight... The Death God is in tears (╥╯^╰╥).
