I Can Prove I'm a Black Dragon-My Aunt Can Confirm It
"Damaging the Dragon Blood Tree, a scenic tree in Dragon Island Park, will incur a fine of one thousand gold coins. However, considering that this is your first time visiting Dragon Island Dragon Island and you are unaware of its laws, regulations, and rules, a fine of fifty gold coins will suffice."
Once she realized what was happening, Ophelia took out a small notebook from her Space Ring, opened it, wrote and drew on it, then tore off a page and handed it to Lance.
To prevent Lance from making the same mistake, she also took out two copies of the Dragon Island Code from her Space Ring and handed them to Lance.
Two books, one for Lance to read, and one for the impure-blooded Amethyst Dragonling.
Considering that Lance might be royalty, Captain Meredith, out of respect for Lance, should probably issue a temporary pass to the Amethyst Dragonling Amethyst Dragonling, allowing it to roam Dragon Island.
???
They're going to fine him for breaking off a small branch from Dragon Blood Tree? Are they just trying to scare this outsider?
"The rules and regulations on Dragon Island apply to the entire Dragon Island Society. Any dragon that violates the rules and regulations of Dragon Island must pay a fine. If you commit a crime on Dragon Island, you will also face the risk of going to jail. Don't doubt that I'm targeting you."
If you think I'm targeting you, you can ask your aunt when you see Captain Meredith later.
Of course, if you can't come up with fifty gold coins, you can work as a cleaner or repairman on Dragon Island for a day to pay off your debt.
Ophelia seemed to have guessed Lance's thoughts, and she put her words directly into the conversation.
If he had known that breaking off a small branch of the Dragon Blood Tree would result in a fine from Dragon Island, he should have cut off half of the Dragon Blood Tree and taken it back to Black Dragon Island for research.
Lance glanced at the ticket; it was a very formal ticket, stamped by the Dragon Island Patrol Team. He had originally thought Dragon Island was a primitive island where the strong were respected and fights and arguments could happen anytime, anywhere, but it turned out to be a civilized Dragon Island.
How many good things could he buy in the human world with fifty gold coins?
"Just to ask, do all the dragons on Dragon Island Dragon Island who violate its rules and regulations obediently pay their fines? Are there any that don't pay?"
"Yes. Dragons that don't pay the fine can work as cleaners, repairmen, or weeders. If they don't want to pay for their work to pay off their debts, they can choose to challenge the Dragon Island Patrol Team Member. If they defeat the Dragon Island Patrol Team Member, they can avoid paying the fine."
"Then I choose to challenge the Dragon Island Patrol Team Member." Lance grinned.
Fifty gold coins may not be much, but they are still his assets. Since there is a way to avoid paying fines or working to pay off debts, he naturally has to try his best.
"Sure, your opponent is your aunt."
"."
Lance stopped laughing; he still thought his opponent was Ophelia, the squad leader.
Forget about my cheap aunt; judging from her appearance, she doesn't seem like a holy red dragon who values martial virtue.
"Then I choose to work to pay off my debts."
"Good."
A few minutes later, a broom, a shovel, and a small cart appeared in front of the baby dragon Lucia.
The young dragon glanced at the tools in front of her, then looked up at Lance, who was grinning at her.
A look of confusion appeared in his clear, pure vertical pupils. What does this mean?
Making her work on Dragon Island to pay off her debts? No, she didn't damage any of the scenic trees on Dragon Island. Ophelia's lips twitched slightly. She originally thought that the black dragon Lance was going to work to pay off his debts, but it turned out that it was the Amethyst Dragonling who was going to work to pay off his debts.
"Dragon cub, the sins of the father must be paid by the son. I think you should be mentally prepared for this. It's okay, fifty gold coins. You can pay off the fifty gold coins by working as a cleaner on Dragon Island for a morning."
"."
Everyone else is a troublemaker, so why does it change when it comes to the evil dragon?
What a mess! There's a wicked dragon here who's treacherous towards the baby dragon. Oh well, the dragon isn't soft-hearted when it's treacherous towards her, but it's also very tough when it's protecting her.
This wasn't the first time she'd done something like sweeping the streets; on Black Dragon Island, she often cleaned the dragon's yard.
If the story of the future emperor of the Farolyn Empire working as a sanitation worker on Dragon Island were to reach the mouth of a bard, it would probably become. "The Legendary Life of Her Majesty Lucia of the Farolyn Empire".
"If I sweep all day, do I get paid before leaving Dragon Island at night?"
The young dragon asked Ophelia.
"."
Instead of actively paying the fine, they're thinking of making money off Dragon Island? The Amethyst Dragonling is quite audacious.
"No, Dragon Island does not employ child labor."
"."
Lance and Ophelia walked ahead, while the baby dragon pushed the cart behind them. When she saw fallen leaves on the ground, she picked them up, blew off the dust, and put them into her Lucky Coin.
These leaves are from Dragon Blood Tree. It's such a waste to throw them away as trash. They might fetch a high price if we took them back to the human world.
The Dragon Blood Tree's translucent flesh, as thin as a cicada's wing, is perfectly suitable for making decorative items.
Hehe, this isn't cleaning up trash, it's clearly letting her openly pick up money!
The evil Lance must have been too embarrassed to do such a thing, so he sent her.
It's a young dragon, still a child. We can pick up some leaves from the Dragon Blood Tree and take them with us without losing the dragon.
A single Dragon Blood Tree leaf is probably not even worth fifty gold coins.
There were dragon people, giant dragons, and baby dragons in the park. We encountered several baby dragons after walking for a short while.
Some dragons glanced at her a few times before their gaze fell on the black dragon, while others stared directly at the black dragon.
Some of the bolder young dragons walked up to her and stared at her.
A few newly hatched baby dragons chased after her in twos and threes, their big eyes full of curiosity.
A mischievous little golden dragon jumped into the stroller and asked her to push it.
Seeing that she didn't chase the baby golden dragon away from the stroller, its playmates also flapped their wings and flew into the stroller.
This was like stirring up a hornet's nest; more than a dozen baby dragons, each a little over a meter tall, rushed to fly into the stroller.
The stroller wasn't very big to begin with, so it couldn't hold all the baby dragons. Then the baby dragons started playing around in the stroller, and one by one they fell out of the stroller and landed on the ground.
Looking at these chubby little dragons, each one wanting to hug one more, they're so adorable! I want to raise a whole litter! "I really want to raise a little dragon cub!"
"Forget about it, you can't afford to raise them. Dragon cubs aren't as easy to raise as you think."
Lance turned to the young dragon and said, "Looking at the round bodies of these little dragon cubs, you can tell how well they eat on Dragon Island."
"I was just saying, I didn't really intend to raise them." The baby dragon muttered, then shouted to the little dragon cubs clinging to the stroller, "Hold on tight, don't fall off and get run over by the wheels."
"Go, Little Fatty Dragon Sister!"
???
Little Fatty Dragon sister??????? No, have these annoying little dragon cubs never looked in a mirror?
If she's fat, how would you describe their spherical dragon bodies?
"I am the King of the Saint Blue Kingdom. You can't call me Little Fatty Dragon. You have to call me Little Dragon, or rather, Your Majesty Lucia!"
"Little Fatty Dragon Sister, if you chase all these annoying guys off the cart and let me stay in the cart, I'll call you Your Lucia."
Otherwise, I won't shout.
Oh my god?! He actually dared to threaten her?!
Heh, it's time to let these little dragon cubs on Dragon Island see the power of Her Majesty the Saint Blue Kingdom King!
The young dragon took out a box of gummy candies from the Lucky Coin. They were made by Lance and she could eat them as a snack.
Gummy candies, one of her favorite snacks.
It tastes great.
It's sweet and sour; if she weren't worried about getting cavities, she could eat several boxes a day.
"Do you know what's in this jar in my dragon claw?"
"It looks a bit like candy."
"Oh right, this is candy, sweet and sour candy."
The young dragon unscrewed the bottle cap, took out a few candies, threw them into its mouth, and chewed them slowly.
The fruity aroma of the candy, mixed with the fresh scent of herbs and plants, reached the noses of the little dragon cubs.
The little dragon cub's gaze instantly focused on the jar containing the baby dragon's gummy candy.
It smells so sweet, the kind of fragrance that you don't get tired of even after smelling it for a long time.
"Want some?"
"Think about it! Think about it!!!"
The little dragon cubs all said in unison, their mouths practically watering with envy.
"Then let's make a deal. You help me pick up the Dragon Blood Tree leaves that have fallen on the ground, and you can come to me with the Dragon Blood Tree leaves to exchange for candy."
Five Dragon Blood Tree leaves can be exchanged for one candy, and ten Dragon Blood Tree leaves can be exchanged for two candies. The area is limited to this park.
If you agree, you can get started now.
Why should we make a deal with you? Wouldn't it be better to just steal your candy?
"Hey, whoever steals my candy, I'll spank their bottom until it's swollen."
"I'm going to collect leaves, you can't lie to us."
"I'm not lying to you."
The little dragon cubs that had gathered around the cart scattered in a flurry, flapping their wings and flying close to the ground, searching for the leaves of the Dragon Blood Tree.
For the first time, Lance felt that his dragon cub hadn't eaten the Wisdom Fruit for nothing.
Ophelia touched her forehead with her dragon claw. The black Lance was cunning, and the Amethyst Dragonling was just as cunning, actually knowing how to use candy to make these little ones on Dragon Island work for her.
She couldn't say anything yet.
After all, the baby dragon neither threatened nor deceived these little ones, but persuaded them to eat through a transaction.
This is why Dragon Island has Guide Chain Defense Shield. Without the shield, if a powerful human were to pass by and happen to encounter these little ones playing outside Dragon Island, they could easily trick and take away an entire group of them.
"Black Dragon, it really is you?!"
A Frost Dragon folded its wings and fell from the sky above the park; it was Charlotte.
Lance was somewhat surprised to see Charlotte. Dragon Island is a continent that floats in the air and is quite large. He originally thought it would be difficult to encounter a familiar dragon, but he didn't expect to meet one so soon after arriving on Dragon Island.
"Long time no see, Charlotte."
"What should I call you? Black Dragon? Or Lance the Black Dragonkin Lance?"
"Black Dragon".
"Black Dragon, you are a being qualified to compete for the position of Abyss Demon Emperor, so why are you on Dragon Island? Before your identity is confirmed, I think you should not be on Dragon Island."
???
Ophelia was standing not far from Lance, was dumbfounded.
What? Black Dragonkin Lance?
Competing for the throne of the Abyss Demon Emperor?
Black Dragon?
The Black Dragon has a connection to the Abyss? Ophelia's gaze towards Lance changed instantly. If he has a connection to the Abyss, even if his Captain Meredith is his aunt, she cannot be careless.
"You were once in the abyss?"
"Hmm, I've been there. What? Dragon Island has a rule that Dragon Island Giant Dragon can't stay in the Abyss? Even with that rule, it doesn't seem to apply to me. When I was in the Abyss, I wasn't Dragon Island Giant Dragon yet."
"Right now, this regulation doesn't really bind me much; I don't plan to stay on Dragon Island long-term."
Lance didn't hide anything. At this point, there was no need to hide anything. Did he need Dragon Island's permission to go to the Abyss to study?
"Then why didn't you tell me about this before?"
"No. Many dragons on Dragon Island know about this. Didn't they tell you when they returned?"
Lance looked at the Frost Dragon Charlotte, "You came to Dragon Island without telling Dragon Island about this?"
"I didn't. Who knew you would come to Dragon Island? Your identity as an Abyss Demon Race has been exposed. You're a normal dragon. If you knew your identity was exposed and that you might be told about Dragon Island by other dragons, you probably wouldn't have appeared on Dragon Island openly, right?"
You are an exception. Not only did you appear on Dragon Island openly, but you also dared to stroll around leisurely on Dragon Island.
"Black Dragon, tell me honestly, what is your purpose in coming to Dragon Island this time?"
Charlotte, the Frost Dragon, stared at Lance, fearing Lance might cause trouble on Dragon Island.
There are quite a few little dragon cubs on Dragon Island. These little dragon cubs have no power at all. If the black dragon were to act recklessly, he could crush countless little dragon cubs with a single stomp.
The key issue is that Heilong's identity is unclear.
I don't know if it's a black dragon or an abyssal demon dragon.
"I have no ulterior motive, I just came to take a look. Don't think of me as the worst person. Besides, there's a Dragon King and a Sacred Giant Dragon on Dragon Island Dragon Island. With my power, what kind of trouble could I possibly cause there? And don't even mention that I brought my dragon cub with me. If I wanted to cause trouble on Dragon Island, do you think I would bring my own dragon cub?"
???
My own dragon cub?
Where? Where is it? How come she can't see it? There's only one Amethyst Dragonling, where did her own dragon cub come from? Hmm? This Amethyst Dragonling looks familiar.
The Lucky Coin hanging around her neck looks somewhat like the one around the neck of the black dragon cub.
Etc!
Could the Amethyst Dragonling be the same as that black dragon cub?
"The Amethyst Dragonling, is it your dragon offspring?"
"Um."
"."
Isn't the Amethyst Dragonling the offspring of the Human Lance?
How come he's now the cub of the black dragon? That's not important.
"Tell me first, are you an abyssal dragon or a black dragon?"
"Black Dragon".
"How can you prove that you are the Black Dragon?!"
???
Lance looked at Charlotte with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot. Weren't the dragon scales on his body enough proof that he was a black dragon? "My cheap aunt can prove I'm a black dragon."
Lance poked Ophelia with his dragon claw. "Don't be misled by Charlotte's words. My cheap aunt said that my Dragon Register existed before I even hatched and was sealed away afterwards."
"The Dragon Register proves I am a black dragon."
Ophelia's eyes lit up with sudden realization. Oh right, Dragon Island has the Dragon Register of the black Lance.
The existence of the Dragon Register is enough to prove that Black Lance is not some abyssal demon dragon.
I was too nervous. (*^▽^*)
