The Black Dragon's Threat!

Tired and annoyed, Lance had grown weary of fighting after several days of intense battles. He just wanted to watch the young dragons grow up in peace and live a tranquil life. After Dragon Island Appears, Saint Blue became a gathering place for dragons, and dragons kept appearing to provoke him.

First, Austin and Eileen suspected he was the "Black Dragon." Although their suspicions were correct, they still fought him to test the Human Lance. Next, Sophia Sophia. Then Austin, Eileen, and Hammond arrived.

Another battle. He had just finished fighting them and hadn't even rested for two days when the Sacred Golden Dragon Constantine arrived, and another battle ensued. Having just finished this battle, it seemed the Sacred Golden Dragon Constantine wanted to find the Human Lance and have another fight with Human Lance. He was truly fed up. He could fight, but not so many battles at once; he had no desire for combat whatsoever.

Becoming stronger is simply to avoid being bullied by the strong in this world, or becoming someone else's mount.

He wanted to see the battle between the baby dragons and the baby dragons of Dragon Island.

"The Lance you mentioned seems to have gone off into his Astral Projection active lately, probably because you, the black dragon, have drawn attention to him. If you hadn't shown up, beings like us would definitely have been looking for him."

This morning, the Lightning Dragon Eileen went to find Lance and then went to the Royal Palace. Ingrid told her that her Viscount had gone off into the Astral Projection again.

It seems that Lance and the Black Dragon have a very good relationship. The fact that he can still Astral Projection at this time shows that he trusts the Black Dragon and believes that the Black Dragon will not do anything to harm Saint Lance.

Currently, it seems that Black Dragon has no intention of causing trouble in Holy Blue.

During battles, they will intentionally avoid Holy Blue.

"Wake him up, let him awaken to receive the Sacred Golden Dragon."

Do you think I have that ability?

"Let the Sacred Golden Dragon awaken Lance."

"I don't have that ability either."

The Sacred Golden Dragon Constantine readily admitted that he didn't even know what "Astral Projection" meant, so how could he have woken up the Human Lance? He had never heard of the phrase "Astral Projection" before.

Sophia gave him a rough explanation, but he still couldn't understand.

Perhaps when Human Lance awakens, he can teach him how to Astral Projection? Human Lance said Sophia Astral Projection means that while sleeping, the Divine Soul leaves the body and travels to visit friends and chat around the world.

In that case, the Astral Projection would be incredibly beneficial for him, a Sacred Golden Dragon, since he often falls into a deep sleep. If he could learn the Astral Projection, wouldn't he be able to travel to Dragon Island or other places at any time? He wouldn't feel embarrassed to ask the Human Lance to teach him the Astral Projection. Don't forget, he once gave the Human Lance a Light Fruit, and for the sake of that Light Fruit, the Human Lance couldn't refuse him.

I'm tempted.

The Sacred Golden Dragon Constantine was intrigued. He decided to give it a try. Anyway, he had nothing else to do recently. He would stay in Saint Blue for a few days and ask the Human Lance if he woke up.

Anyway, I won't lose out.

"Let's go back to Saint Lan and visit my Little Friend Lance."

"???"

Little Friend Lance?

Lance felt a little disgusted when he heard the Sacred Golden Dragon Constantine address him by that name. His relationship with Constantine didn't seem to be that good, did it?

They are not friends despite their age difference.

Something's not right.

A look of wariness flashed in Lance's vertical pupils. Did he not understand humans, let alone dragons?

Given the nature of dragons, they would never be so kind unless they had something to ask for.

The Sacred Golden Dragon Constantine must have something on his mind, otherwise he would never have addressed him as "Little Friend Lance".

Austin, Eileen, Sophia also noticed this, and they were also wondering why Constantine called Lance "little friend".

Are they really that close? Constantine flapped his wings and flew towards Saint Blue. Naturally, he wouldn't tell Austin or Eileen that he wanted to emulate Lance's Astral Projection.

"No, Father, where is Black Dragon? Aren't you going to make Black Dragon compensate you for your losses?"

"His qi and blood are so severely depleted, what compensation can he offer me? Forget about the Black Dragon's Heaven Flipping Seal. You can't control that Heaven Flipping Seal, and neither can my daughter."

Austin's voice gradually faded.

Sophia, Eileen, Melbourne also took flight toward Saint Blue.

As Hammond flew, he noticed a huge creature rapidly approaching. He turned his head and saw that it was a black dragon.

The baby dragon is next to the black dragon.

"Young Hammond, is there something I can discuss with you?"

"???!!!"

Hammond's eyes flashed with wariness. The black dragon's smile was too cunning, and he even called him "little friend." If you switched their ages, they were actually about the same, so calling him "little friend" was a bit rude.

Considering the black dragon's power, he did not correct the black dragon's form of address. "Black Dragon Great One, what do you wish to discuss with me?"

"This might seem like I'm being a bit greedy, but in order to avoid any regrets, I think I should ask you for a small piece of the World Tree's root."

"Cannot!!!"

Hammond refused without hesitation, recalling how their Goddess of Wisdom Holy Mountain had painstakingly cultivated a small section of the World Tree's root into a sapling and even activated part of the World Tree's power, only to have the black dragon devour most of it.

The thought of it pained him.

It would probably take thousands of years to cultivate that section of the World Tree root from the Book of Wisdom into World Tree sapling.

We absolutely cannot allow any further damage to that small section of the World Tree's root.

"Don't be so stingy. You were willing to give Human Lance, a sapling of the Wisdom Tree. What's wrong with giving me a small section of the World Tree? Don't forget, I gave you a lot of face when you told me to shut up last time. If you refuse this little request I'm making now, it would be a bit disrespectful to me."

"No, Black Dragon Great One, the sapling of the Wisdom Tree is no match for that small section of the World Tree's root. How about this, if you want one, I'll give you a sapling of the Wisdom Tree as well."

"No, I only want a small section of the World Tree. Otherwise, how can I demonstrate that I am stronger than the Human Lance?"

"It's too much of a burden for me. There's only a tiny bit left. If I give it to you, I'm afraid the remaining roots really won't be able to grow into a sapling."

"You really won't see me off?"

"It's really impossible to send it."

Lance grinned. "If you can't send it, then you can't send it. But you'd better be careful when you go back to the Goddess of Wisdom Holy Mountain of the Goddess of Wisdom Holy Mountain. I heard that the outside world is extremely dangerous outside of Holy Blue. Don't run into bandits when you go back to the Holy Mountain of the Goddess of Wisdom. Otherwise, losing the Book of Wisdom is a small matter, but losing that small piece of the World Tree root would be a much bigger loss."

"."

Hammond's flight speed came to a brief halt as he stared at the black dragon in disbelief.

Threaten!

Black Dragon's words were a blatant threat! He threatened Black Dragon if he didn't give him even a small piece of the World Tree root.

Saying that the security outside of Saint Blue is bad is just an implication that if he doesn't give the Black Dragon a small piece of the World Tree, the Black Dragon will rob him on the way when he leaves Saint Blue, not only taking the half of the World Tree root from him, but also his Book of Wisdom. Where's his face?

"Have you no shame at all?" Hammond's face flushed red with anger at the black dragon. He had no choice but to consider the black dragon's threat.

This guy can not only defeat the combined attack of him, Sophia, Austin, Eileen, but he can even put up a fight against the Sacred Giant Dragon. If the Black Dragon really takes a liking to him, given the dragon's greed, the Black Dragon might actually rob him halfway through.

Unfortunately, he didn't have the strength to suppress the black dragon. Even with Austin's help, they couldn't suppress it.

Hateful!

I have never seen such a ruthless black dragon before, daring to threaten even the clergy at the Holy Mountain headquarters.

The young dragon following beside Lance was puzzled for a moment when she saw this scene, and then thought about it for a while. When she saw Hammond's flushed face, her amethyst vertical pupils showed a look of sudden realization.

When his demands failed, the dragon resorted to threats.

That's too domineering.

If she were Hammond, she would definitely obediently take a small section of root from the Book of Wisdom and give it to the black dragon.

In Heilong's words, it's about choosing the lesser of two evils.

"Young Hammond? Young Hammond? What are you thinking about? Are you wondering whether to send me a small piece of the World Tree root?"

"."

When Hammond saw the black dragon's smiling face, he wished he could take off his shoes and smash the soles of those ugly, ferocious dragon faces with them.

Damn it, how can there be such a shameless black dragon in the world?

Sophia and Eileen, who were flying ahead of Hammond, overheard the conversation between the black dragon and Hammond and cursed the black dragon in their hearts.

Eileen, who was also a dragon, thought the black dragon was shameless, threatening people when he asked for something, and was simply bullying others by taking advantage of his power.

Sophia simply felt that the black dragon's "evil" had come out and caused trouble.

At this moment, even as the Saintess of the War God Temple, she seemed unable to intimidate the black dragon; her words were essentially meaningless.

Heilong might even take the opportunity to threaten her.

As for the treatment just now, it cannot be used as a means to control the Black Dragon.

Given Black Dragon's shamelessness and audacity, knocking her unconscious and not robbing her would be repaying a debt of gratitude.

"How much do you want?"

After stammering for a while, Hammond blurted out, "There's nothing I can do. I really can't defeat the Black Dragon." He suspected that even if he released the Divine Mountain from the Book of Wisdom, he probably wouldn't be able to completely suppress the Black Dragon.

Rather than offending the Black Dragon to death, it would be better to give him a small section of the World Tree root.

In any case, given Black Dragon's abilities and resources, he probably wouldn't be able to cultivate a World Tree sapling from a small section of World Tree World Tree roots.

"It's just this short section."

Lance gestured with his dragon claw, indicating the length of the World Tree: [————————————————]

"Yes, that's how long it is."

"When we get to Saint Blue, I'll take out a small piece for you."

"Hammond, young Hammond, you are a good person."

(ノ`Д)ノ——

Do I, a clergyman, need a dragon like you to give me a "friend zone" card? This is an insult to clergymen!!!

Damn it, when he can defeat the black dragon, he will definitely teach this shameless black dragon a lesson! Upon arriving in Saint Blue, the Sacred Golden Dragon Constantine made a brief stop at the Dragon God Temple before heading to the Royal Palace.

Upon arriving at the palace, Lance shrunk his dragon body to just over two meters in size and wrapped himself around Hammond.

Even if a small section of the World Tree can not be cultivated into the World Tree, it's worthwhile to nurture it.

"Young Hammond, come here, let's not join the fun. Take out that half of the World Tree root and let me have a good look at it. Last time I was only thinking about eating it and didn't appreciate it properly."

(ノ`Д)ノ

Seeing that he could not avoid the black dragon, Hammond reluctantly took out the Book of Wisdom, opened it, and took out the badly damaged half of the tree root.

The half-root in his hand was only as thick as a human wrist, surrounded by many smaller roots about the thickness of a thumb. Seeing this, Lance noticed a pair of scissors had appeared in his dragon claw and prepared to cut the thickest World Tree root. Hammond, seeing this, quickly hid the World Tree root behind his back. "You can't cut it! Let me do it! You'll scare it if you're too rough. It's already terrified; if you cut it again, it'll die of fright. It's trembling right now!"

"Okay, okay, come here and cut off the thickest little section for me."

"No, I can only trim a small section of the root for you."

"Never mind then. Be careful when you return to the Goddess of Wisdom Holy Mountain, and don't get robbed by bandits."

"!!!"

What a beast! Besides threatening him, what else can he do? If he's so capable, why doesn't he stop threatening him?

If you're so capable, wait until he returns to Goddess of Wisdom Holy Mountain, then go and rob him Goddess of Wisdom Holy Mountain!

"If you can't keep it alive, you'll ruin it. In that case, I might as well cut off a section of a more viable root and give it to you. You can slowly nurture it. Even if you manage to kill it, don't be too upset. Next time you see me, I can give you a small section of root to nurture."

Lance's eyes showed a thoughtful look. Hammond's words seemed to make some sense. Instead of going for the thick root, it was better to have a small section of a more active root.

You'll feel a sense of accomplishment when you grow a sapling from a small root section, and even if you accidentally kill it, you can always ask Hammond for more.

I should have thought of that sooner; if I had, I shouldn't have eaten so much.

Sigh. I was so focused on farming a single creature in this world that I didn't even realize I'd gotten the achievement "Then I want the thickest, most active root."

"Good."

Hammond breathed a sigh of relief. The black dragon was shameless, but thankfully it listened to reason and took out the half-root hidden behind its back. Hammond whispered to the half-root of the World Tree, "Give him a section of the most active root that will automatically fall off."

The half-root of the World Tree trembled a few times, and a section of the thickest root emitted a bright green light. Not long after the light appeared, the section of root detached itself and floated in front of the black dragon.

The black dragon hurriedly collected the roots, which were radiating emerald light, into the Diamond Cutter, and then put them into the golden blood it had collected from the Sacred Golden Dragon Constantine.

To cultivate a World Tree, you have to be willing to invest.

Using the golden blood of Sacred Giant Dragon to nurture this World Tree should ensure its vitality for a short time.

"Black dragon cub, come out! My little buddies are here! Come out and get a beating!!!"
