Even the gods could be smashed to pieces?
Were there really such reckless Extraordinary Persons in the human world? Were they truly not afraid that the gods would hear them and then punish them with Divine Punishment?
Powerful Extraordinary Persons feared nothing. So it turned out that saying was true. In any case, as the Imperial Princess, she would never dare say something like that. If she could not even smash a giant dragon to pieces, then there was even less chance of her smashing a god. "A human Extraordinary Person who says something like that isn't afraid of Divine Punishment?"
"The gods won't take their words seriously. Saying they'll smash the gods to pieces is merely an exaggerated rhetorical expression. It doesn't mean they truly possess the strength to smash a god to pieces.
"What they want to express is an attitude: as long as they're paid enough, no matter how powerful the opponent or how difficult the task, they're confident they can complete it.
"Don't imagine the gods as being too petty. Look at the War God. After being used by that shameless human, Brude Donahue, didn't he just pinch his nose and accept it?
"If the War God had really taken offense, Brude Donahue would have vanished the moment he shouted the War God's Sayings. Besides, the gods don't have time to stare at the mortal world every day. So sometimes, don't imagine them as being overly petty."
Lucia nodded. She felt that what the evil dragon said made sense.
"Then do you dare say you'll smash the gods to pieces?"
"I don't dare. I'm afraid the gods will smash me to pieces."
"."
It was better to remain only half-convinced by the evil dragon's words in the future. If she truly believed everything he said, she might not even know how she had died.
The Hell bounty mission was to kill the Undead Lich. A bounty mission that had been rated Death-Class by Hell—were there really any Extraordinary Persons daring enough to accept it?
"Lance, the lich's strength has received Hell's approval. Can the Extraordinary Persons of the human world really kill the lich in the bounty mission?"
"The lich is somewhat strong, but not strong enough to receive Hell's approval." Lance put away the Death God Scythe and continued, "Hell rated this mission's difficulty as Death-Class, but that Death-Class difficulty is aimed at Trainee Death Gods.
"Don't underestimate Hell's foundations. A mere lich is nothing before Hell. If Hell got serious, the lich in this bounty mission would disappear from the human world within seconds."
A mere lich was beneath Hell's notice. An unstable factor of this level could be dealt with by a Level One Death God.
The Difficult and Death-Class Hell bounty mission ranks were aimed at Trainee Death Gods.
A Trainee Death God was a powerful necromancer, but fundamentally still a human. Facing a lich, a false undead creature, they truly could be in mortal danger.
Hell was powerful, and its foundations were even more unfathomable. The beings that could truly attract Hell's attention and make it take notice were the Evil Spirits that had escaped from Hell.
The young dragon did not understand just how powerful the real Hell was.
If Hell were so weak that it could not even deal with a mere lich, he would not have chosen to become a Trainee Death God, cooperate with Hell, and become an official black dragon with half a Hell-related background.
A look of sudden realization appeared in Lucia's clear purple-gold slit pupils, though a hint of foolishness still showed through.
So this mission's rank was aimed at Trainee Death Gods.
She had thought that the lich in the bounty mission was so powerful that even Hell found it somewhat difficult to deal with.
In that case, there was no problem. Quite a few Extraordinary Persons in the human world possessed the ability to kill a lich of this level.
If the evil dragon subcontracted this mission, wouldn't he still have to go to the human world to post Hell's bounty mission with the Bounty Guild?
Or some other guild?
She still had a chance to follow the evil dragon to the human world. She just didn't know whether he would take her.
"Then when are you planning to go to the human world to post the bounty mission?"
Lucia fiddled with the pen in her dragon claw, trying to make the evil dragon think she was being nonchalant.
"Posting a bounty mission doesn't require going to the human world. I can post it while staying on the island."
He could post it while staying on the island?
How?
Aside from Doggie, Turtle, the evil dragon, and her, there was no one else here.
Could he be planning to have Er Gouzi post it?
"Projection. The Hell Death God can use the Projection Communication Device to send the bounty mission to me, so naturally I can also use the Projection Communication Device to post the bounty mission in the human world."
The young dragon really wasn't very clever. She had seen the Projection Communication Device before, and she had also seen bounty missions appear in front of him through the Death God Scythe.
How had this child not thought of that?
Aside from the Hell Death Gods using Projection Communication Devices frequently, they were also used quite often in the human world.
Ordinary people could not afford to use Projection Communication Devices.
But for nobles, merchants, Extraordinary Persons, and some powerful factions, using a Projection Communication Device merely cost a little money.
"When you come of age and venture out, I'll go to the human world and buy you a cutting-edge Projection Communication Device. Then, whenever you miss me, you can chat with me through it.
"Speaking of coming of age, I suddenly realized that I still don't know how old you are this year. Young dragon, how old are you?"
Lance felt that he had been somewhat careless. He had even forgotten to ask the young dragon's age.
"How old am I?"
"Mm."
"I-I-I-I... I think I'm over 350 years old this year."
Fifteen years old for a human girl should translate to over 350 years old for a young dragon, right? Speaking of which, a young dragon with a dragon body over ten meters long should be over 350 years old, right?
She had originally wanted to say 1,500 years old, but she was afraid that the evil dragon, Lance, would think she had grown up and raise her as his wife for ten or twenty years before making her bear his offspring. Being over 350 years old was good. To a giant dragon, over 350 years old was still a young dragon among young dragons. If the evil dragon Lance really raised her as his wife, he would definitely have to raise her for several hundred years.
Several hundred years... If she followed the evil dragon Lance and lived a healthy life, could she live for several hundred years?
"Over 350 years old?"
"Mm-hmm. D-Doesn't it look like it?"
"Then you're suffering from rather severe malnutrition. I remember that when I was over 350 years old, my dragon body was nearly... nearly... I've forgotten how big it was. It was definitely bigger than yours. Your dragon body is nearly ten meters long. Eating only Field Mice has indeed affected your growth and development, but growing this big is still not bad."
The fastest period of growth for a young dragon was from hatching to a little over three hundred years old. After three hundred years, its growth became slower.
Being able to get through the most difficult stage after hatching by eating Field Mice was pretty good.
Speaking of Field Mice, there seemed to be some in the cornfield and Vegetable Garden. He had seen traces of Field Mice digging tunnels in the fields when he went there that morning.
"Young dragon, there seem to be Field Mice in the cornfield and Vegetable Garden. I saw traces of them digging tunnels when I went to pick vegetables this morning. If you want to eat Field Mice, you can stake out the cornfield and Vegetable Garden tonight.
"If you manage to catch a few fat Field Mice, I'll make them into skewers for you. You can eat them one by one with a nice, crispy crunch."
"Huh? There are Field Mice in the cornfield and Vegetable Garden? How come I haven't seen a single one?"
The Imperial Daughter was furious! She had never eaten Field Mice! She, the Imperial Daughter of the Farolyn Empire, how could she possibly eat Field Mice!!!
