Let the Popes of the Three Great Temples Beat Up the Black Dragon

On the Goddess of Wisdom Holy Mountain, the Golden Dragon Austin and his knight Hammond are reviewing documents, in which the name [Lance] is frequently mentioned.

They are investigating Lance, and for this they have set the timeline within four thousand years, trying to find traces of Lord Lance's existence within that timeline. The workload is unimaginable. Fortunately, one of them is a dragon and the other is a temple priest.

I have enough energy to go through all this information.

There have been many humans named Lance throughout history. They first eliminated Lance who were not Extraordinary Person, and then Lance those who grew up from infancy.

The remaining Human Lance, will determine whether the historical Lance is related to Saint Lance based on the characteristics of Saint Lance and the Black Dragon.

What is currently confirmed is that Lance once appeared in the Ander Kingdom and was the teacher of Prince Andre of the Ander Kingdom.

Based on the information they gathered, Andre's rise to king was also related to Lance.

This is also the only coup in the history of the Ander Kingdom.

Sophia said that the Grim Reaper from Hell who called Lance" Teacher" might be King Andre of the Ander Kingdom.

This discovery shocked the Golden Dragon Austin and Hammond for a long time; they never imagined that this guy had once been the king's tutor.

He even single-handedly pushed a student who had no chance of becoming king onto the throne. Under normal circumstances, shouldn't it be Lance who usurped the throne?

Lance left an indelible mark on the history of the Ander Kingdom.

Besides the Ander Kingdom, Austin and Hammond also saw the name Lance in several other Hero Party.

The Radiant Sun Hero Squad.

Hammond retrieved the information on the Radiant Sun Hero Squad and suspected that the Potion Master Lance in the Radiant Sun Hero Squad might be the same person as Saint Lance.

"Why did you put the information of the Radiant Sun Hero Squad in the Ander Kingdom column?"

"I suspect that the Potion Master Lance in the Radiant Sun Hero Squad is the same person as Saint Lance."

"Does Saint Blue's Lance know how to concoct potions?"

A look of doubt appeared in the eyes of the Golden Dragon Austin.

"Yes," the voice of the Lightning Dragon Eileen suddenly rang out.

Austin and Eileen were video chatting while going through the materials they had collected, and Saintess Sophia of the War God Holy Mountain would occasionally appear on the projection screen.

"He can also concoct potions? Wait a minute." The Golden Dragon Austin pulled out a file on a pile of messy documents, which showed that a boy Lance Lance studied potion concoction with Potion Master from a certain kingdom in the human world.

He then became one of the most famous Potion Master in the kingdom at a young age.

"The information I have indicates that young Lance studied under Potion Master from a kingdom in the human world for a period of time. Could this young Lance also be Saint Lance?!"

"We cannot rule out this possibility."

Austin categorized this information as "suspected Lance".

"It matches up! Lance, the Potion Master of the Radiant Sun Squad, is Saint Lance. The most glorious achievement of the Radiant Sun Hero Squad is killing the Demon King."

However, the Radiant Sun Hero Squad may not have actually killed that Demon King back then. On New Year's Eve, the Abyss Devil appeared in Saint Blue, and a Demon King found Lance and even communicated with Lance. That Demon King might be the same one who fought against the Radiant Sun Squad back then.

This guy has a sharp eye; he managed to get Hero Party like Yaoyang into the squad. Aside from Lance and Iliya, who has become a Heroic Spirit, all the other members of this squad are still alive.

Leige, the captain of the Hero Party, has the potential to become a god.

Hammond's face showed envy. It's no exaggeration to say that either of the two Lance he's befriended so far could become part of his network in the future.

Leige, who has the potential to become a god.

Iliya has become a Heroic Spirit.

And then there's the Grim Reaper Andre. Not to mention that Lance also has a well-known identity: the "Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor."

Every Sword Cultivator has to call Lance an ancestor, not to mention that there have been many powerful Sword Saint and Sword God among Sword Cultivator.

"What Austin just said reminded me. I just organized the information on young Lance, and do you know what I found?"

"What did you find?" Austin asked Eileen.

"These young Lance I've compiled are from different kingdoms where they studied. Some of Lance learned magic from master-level people."

Some of the young Lance learned weapon forging and enchanting from master-level masters. Even more interestingly, he also learned weapon forging from Lance.

The most interesting part is this: A dragonman named Lance from the Beastman Kingdom once appeared as an envoy in the historical records of a human empire.

???

Austin and Hammond didn't react much to Eileen's earlier remarks, which is normal given Lance's diligence and studiousness.

But the last sentence is not normal!

The Beastman Kingdom also has a dragonman named Lance?

And he even appears in the annals of human empires as an envoy? An envoy indeed!

Being able to become an envoy of a country indicates that the dragonman named Lance holds a pivotal position in the Beastman Kingdom.

"Lance the Dragonman... it can't be Saint Lance, can it?"

"Why can't it be Saint Lance?"

"If Saint Lance is a black dragon, then why can't Lance, the dragonman of the Beastman Kingdom, be Lance? It's most common for dragons to transform into dragonman forms."

"No way?!"

Saintess Sophia of the War God Temple took the document from Eileen and read it carefully. She indeed saw that the dragonman Lance had appeared in the human world empire as an envoy.

If this dragonman Lance is also classified as a "suspected Lance," wouldn't their workload increase even more? "Shouldn't we also be paying attention to the 'orc' named Lance from the Beastman Kingdom?"

"I think it's not just the Beastman Kingdom, but also the Elf Kingdom and the Dwarf Kingdom. We should also pay some attention to the races named [Lance] in those two kingdoms."

"."

Austin, now in his dragon form, glanced at the data file that was taller than him and immediately felt utterly hopeless.

He didn't even want to investigate anymore.

Whether Lance is a black dragon or not is not important to him.

"We can't find out the details. Even with the assistance of the Light Holy Mountain, it will still be difficult for us to collect all the information on [Lance]. There must be omissions."

However, it's not a big problem. Based on the information we've gathered so far, no matter how you look at it, Lance shouldn't have died so hastily. Under normal circumstances, he should have left behind some means to save his life.

"That's what I think too. Whether Lance was a black dragon or not, his death was very suspicious. There's just one thing I can't figure out: where did his soul go?"

And then there's his body. His body is made of flesh and blood. If Lance is a black dragon, how do you explain that?

"That's a question for young Lance. He loves reading and learning, and the amount of knowledge he possesses probably far exceeds that of the four of us."

"Indeed, I just came across some information about young Lance. Young Lance even studied card making, painting, and sculpting under a master. Just because we can't do something doesn't mean Lance can't do it."

Hammond was convinced. His impression of Viscount Lance of Saint Blue was that he was a very strong person, but he had no ambition or drive.

As it turns out, the real Viscount Saint Blue had already learned everything he wanted to learn and master many years ago.

Viscount Lance of Saint-Blue is now content to enjoy the wealth he accumulated in his youth.

"Wait! I just thought of something else. Lance Austin, the dragonman. Lance can transform into a black dragon. He told us that he can transform into a black dragon because he has mastered the secret technique of [Seal of Conquest]. But privately, we suspect that he is a druid. Do you think Lance might actually be a druid?"

Austin was taken aback. He thought about it for a while, and sure enough, it was a possibility.

"Perhaps we should make a trip to the Beastman Kingdom Beastman Kingdom. They should have more comprehensive information about [Dragonman Lance] there. If we can confirm that Dragonman Lance and Saint Lance are the same person, then the possibility that the Black Dragon is Lance will be even greater."

"Why bigger? And not smaller? Doesn't proving that Lance the Dragonman is a druid make it perfectly reasonable for Lance to become a black dragon?"

"You're right to think that way, but I'm more inclined to believe that Lance the Dragonman was transformed from a black dragon."

The Lightning Dragon Eileen's eyes flashed. If the black dragon was indeed Lance, and she was certain of this, she would never let Lance go! He had actually used a false identity to keep them in suspense for so long!

They really think they're idiots.

"Forget it. Our relationship with the Beastman Kingdom is so-so. If you go, the Beastman Kingdom might not cooperate with you. It's a different story if Sophia goes. After all, she is the Saintess of the War God Temple. The king of the Beastman Kingdom should give her some face."

Austin was right; Eileen's gaze fell on Sophia.

"Sure, His Majesty has been quite interested in Saint Lance and the Black Dragon lately, so I don't think he'd mind if I went to the Beastman Kingdom."

Oh, by the way, it seems the Temple of Light has also developed some interest in Lance and the Black Dragon. They've even been checking recently to see if anyone named Lance has ever served as a clergy member at the Temple of Light.

"Yes, our War God Holy Mountain is also conducting an investigation. Has your Goddess of Wisdom Holy Mountain been investigated?"

"."

Austin and Hammond remained silent; why wasn't there any verification?

The investigation is ongoing. So far, they have found that the former Saintess of Wisdom was beaten by the Black Dragon and then reincarnated as the Saintess of the War God Temple to seek revenge on the Black Dragon, and was then beaten up again.

"We've checked, and we haven't found any clergy member named Lance yet."

"Thank goodness. If even the major temples had clergy named Lance, I would suspect that Lance had infiltrated the major temples."

"."

That's an exaggeration. It's more accurate to say that Lance has held a wide range of positions, rather than infiltrating. The major temples are not places that Lance could easily infiltrate.

"Do you think we could just beat up the Black Dragon and make him admit that he is Lance?"

"I've fought him, but I haven't."

"."

That hurts.

Neither Black Dragon nor Lance could defeat them.

"If all else fails, please have Your Majesty intervene. The Temple of Light, the War God Temple, and the Goddess of Wisdom —if Your Majesty joins forces to deal with this black dragon, I refuse to believe we can't defeat him."

Austin was furious. The Pope of the various temples were usually just mascots, but in battle, their fighting power was even stronger than Sophia's.

The three Pope were easily defeated by a single black dragon.

How could you say such a thing?

"Hehe. Just saying. I'll see what Melbourne will tell me when it sends me a message."

"He sent it to me too."

Hammond moved closer to Austin, Sophia moved closer to Eileen.

"The Black Dragon has come to Dragon Island. He's not the wandering Black Dragon. Patrol Captain Meredith is the Black Dragon's aunt. From now on, you two have to call the Black Dragon 'Master' whenever you see him!"

Holy crap... Black Dragon has suddenly become royalty! This is even harder for me to accept than being a rich kid from Dragon Island!!! Black Dragon is royalty!!! Can you two understand how I feel right now?!

┭┮┭┮"

The Golden Dragon Austin read aloud the message that the Bronze Dragon Melbourne had sent him.

Black Dragon went to Dragon Island.

Isn't that normal? Black Dragon has wanted to go to Dragon Island for a long time.

The fact that the black dragon was not a wandering dragon surprised him somewhat.

Etc!

What the heck is that last line?

The black dragon is royalty?! The Golden Dragon Austin rubbed his eyes, looked again and again, still not giving up. He asked Eileen, "Eileen, what was the last line of the message Melbourne sent you?"

"The black dragon is royalty."

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect Melbourne to be funny. If the Black Dragon is royalty, then what sense of superiority do I, the son-in-law of the Sacred Golden Dragon, have in front of him?"

"Look closely, Melbourne said that Captain Meredith is the Black Dragon's aunt. On Dragon Island, no dragon dares to joke about Captain Meredith, not even the Sacred Giant Dragon. Do you think Melbourne is joking? Would he dare to bring her up?"

"."

How could I have forgotten that?

Captain Meredith wields considerable power on Dragon Island, and there are rumors that the Dragon God is very fond of Meredith.

Could the black dragon really be royalty?

Wait, how did the Black Dragon suddenly become royalty? And why did his status suddenly become so noble?

It's even more prestigious than his status as the son-in-law of the Sacred Golden Dragon! Not to mention Melbourne can't accept it, he can't accept it either! Being unable to defeat the Black Dragon has already made him feel a bit inferior, but fortunately, his status Pure-Blooded Dragon of Dragon Island and the son-in-law of the Sacred Golden Dragon still gives him a tiny bit of superiority when facing the Black Dragon.

Now, even the sense of superiority that once belonged to him is gone. Who can understand how he feels right now?!

Hammond, who was standing not far from Austin, was completely dumbfounded. The black dragon was Dragon Island Royal Family?

No wonder that guy is so strong and wild, and can even summon gods.

Sophia didn't seem to care much; they were just Dragon Island Royal Family.

She had seen the Dragon Island Royal Family, and they looked no different from ordinary Pure-Blooded Dragon.

"Is the identity of the Black Dragon Island Royal Family so special? As Austin just said, if the rulers of our three great temples beat up the Black Dragon, would the Dragon Island Royal Family stand up for the Black Dragon?"
