If it weren't for Brude Donahue, the Divine Court would still be the one to designate who becomes king in the human world's kingdoms.
The real purpose of this person stirring up the God War was to make humanity self-reliant.
Humans can revere and believe in gods, but they cannot lose themselves.
He succeeded, but not completely.
Today, more than two thousand years later, most kingdoms in the human world still pay taxes to the Temples every year.
Not to mention those Duchies; the Temples can even directly appoint the heirs to the Duchies.
It can't be said that the Temples are the villains.
The Temples that can appoint Duchy heirs have the obligation to protect the Duchies. When a Duchy encounters war, or a town is invaded by Foreign Races, Ferocious Beasts, or Magical Beasts, the Temples will send Knights to assist the Duchy's soldiers in defending the city.
The clergy of the Temples are a mixed bag.
One cannot completely deny the contributions the Temples have made to humanity just because a small group of bad people appear in the Temples.
As a Black Dragon, Lance doesn't hate the clergy of the various Temples, nor does he particularly like them.
As for the conflicts between the human kingdoms, Duchies, and Temples, they have little to do with a Black Dragon like him.
He never interferes in the disputes between the human world.
He doesn't have the strength or the time.
"You hate him so much... When he died... were you sitting in front of his house watching him die?"
"No, he was the king of a kingdom in the human world, and also the first Pope of the War God Temple. Many strong individuals followed him. I, not yet a thousand years old, didn't have that kind of strength."
He only truly became powerful after he was over two thousand years old. Before two thousand, his strength was average, only slightly stronger than the ordinary strong individuals in the human world.
At the age of one thousand one hundred, he began to transform into a human appearance to study in the human world: Combat Skills, Swordsmanship, Magic, Card Making, Beast Taming... well... Beast Taming didn't need to be learned. Dragons were inherently above all beasts. After adulthood, dragons could easily command all beasts.
Directing all beasts to attack human towns wouldn't be a problem at all.
Pure-Blooded Dragons rarely do such things.
Pure-Blooded Dragons prefer to be alone.
"Lance, after he died, would he go to Heaven? Or go to Hell? Or would he be guided to the Hall of Valor?"
"If you ask me, then I hope he goes to Hell after death."
"..."
The evil dragon really doesn't hide his dislike for this ancient figure at all.
The relationship between the evil dragon and that ancient figure doesn't seem to be a simple "hostile" relationship.
It always feels like... the evil dragon and that ancient figure are both enemies and friends... both friends and enemies.
After all, that ancient figure beat up the evil dragon in his youth.
How wonderful.
If she encountered an evil dragon in its infancy, she would definitely force a pat on its head, "You're a Trainee Death God, haven't you tried summoning him before?"
Lucia suddenly thought that the evil dragon Lance was a Trainee Death God. If he was sure that this ancient person had gone to Hell after death, with his vengeful nature, he would definitely try to summon this ancient person up.
"Before today, I never had this idea at all. If I had thought of this, I would have acted on it long ago. The reason I tried to summon Sophia tonight was because you reminded me."
He had used Necromancy to summon Undead to help him fight, but he never thought of using Necromancy to summon his former friend.
Why not try to summon Brude Donahue from Hell?
Lance was a little tempted.
However, when he thought of Brude Donahue's deeds during his lifetime, he felt that using Necromancy might not be able to summon this guy.
Isn't there a saying: Be a hero in life, and a ghost among ghosts in death.
A human like Brude Donahue would definitely not be an ordinary Undead after going to Hell.
Thinking of this, the evil dragon Lance felt a little listless.
"Wha... what's wrong?"
Why did it feel like the evil dragon had suddenly lost its vitality? Looking at him just now, he looked like he might summon that ancient person at any moment, how could he have turned into this in the blink of an eye...
The young dragon was puzzled.
"Suddenly thought of a sentence."
"What sentence?"
"Be a hero in life, and a ghost among ghosts in death."
"!!!"
The evil dragon inadvertently showed off his talent again! Damn it, how could the evil dragon's literary cultivation be so strong? Lucia took out her Notebook from the Lucky Coin on her chest, opened a new page, and in front of the evil dragon, wrote down the evil dragon's sentence: [Be a hero in life, and a ghost among ghosts in death] in her Diary.
She felt that this sentence was very suitable for promotion in the Imperial Army.
Soldiers should have this kind of spirit.
Especially the soldiers of the Farolyn Empire, they should have this kind of spirit even more!
The evil dragon used this sentence to describe that ancient person, which was very appropriate.
With that ancient person's valiant deeds, he was indeed a hero of his generation.
And the evil dragon's sentence [Peach Blossom Black Dragon Planting Peach Trees, and picking flower branches for wine money].
This sentence is also very artistic, write it down, write it down.
Must be a smart and studious Imperial Princess.
"What are you writing this down for?"
"I want to become an evil dragon with literary cultivation like you."
"That's a good idea, changing humans' perception of evil dragons rests on your shoulders."
"Lance, I have another question."
"Ask."
"When you were a Trainee Death God, you signed a contract with a Hell Death God. Was that contract signed with a Hell Death God as a [human]?"
"Yes."
"The Hell Death God never discovered you were a Black Dragon?"
"I don't know. Remember one thing: don't be self-righteous, and don't treat others as fools. I've lived for so long, Hell must have suspected my identity. As for whether they could guess I was a Black Dragon... I don't know. From what I can see, my former partner, my temporary superior, Death God Solomon, doesn't seem to suspect I'm a dragon yet. You heard it too, he suspects I might be a legendary Undead."
"Undead Lance, have you seen an Undead?"
"No."
No, is Undead the point?
Shouldn't the focus be on his educational and cautionary words?
Why does it feel like the adopted young dragon doesn't grasp the main point? "It's still early, let's continue learning pinyin for a while."
"Okay."
Lucia put away her Diary and got up to walk towards the hall.
Compared to studying, she would rather listen to the evil dragon talk about his love-hate entanglements in his childhood. With so many portraits on the walls of the Study, she didn't believe that the evil dragon had never been moved by any human girl.
"Initials, Simple Vowels, you've already learned them this morning. Except for a few inaccurate pronunciations, there are no major problems.
Tonight, I'll teach you Front Vowels, Front Nasal Vowels, and Back Nasal Vowels, which are all relatively simple.
Let's learn Compound Vowels first. Come, repeat after me: ai."
"Love."
One hour later.
The young dragon excitedly shouted, "Lance, I can pronounce the [Dragon] of dragon in Dragon Language now!
Don't believe me? Listen: Erwonglong, the [Dragon] of dragon, Erwonglong... the [Dragon] of Black Dragon, Erwonglong... the [Dragon] of evil dragon..."
"."
