Lucia had not forgotten that the evil dragon had said he would use her as bait to fish for Deep Sea Beasts.
Given the evil dragon's personality, once he got in the mood for fishing, he might really use her as bait. Even Er Gouzi could be used as bait, and since he had used a young dragon he picked up from the human world as bait, he would have even fewer qualms about using her.
She absolutely did not want to become bait for the evil dragon's fishing. Even if the evil dragon could keep her from dying, she did not want to take a trip inside a sea beast's mouth. Eating grilled squid was fine, but becoming bait was not.
"If you become bait, we can catch a big fish."
"How big could a big fish be?"
"About four or five times your size. It might even be bigger than I described."
"Don't use me as bait. I can feed and raise pigs for you instead, okay?"
"."
Who was raising whom? It was ridiculous enough that a young dragon wanted to raise pigs to feed an adult black dragon.
"Get up. It's time for class."
"Oh."
Learning Dragon Language was fine. As long as she did not have to become the emperor of the dragon race or be used as bait, everything was fine.
Human world, the imperial palace of the Farolyn Empire's imperial capital, Blue Moon Hall.
This was the palace where the second Imperial Daughter, Asina, lived. She liked to stay here when looking up information and handling state affairs.
The Dark Curse Master who was loyal to the Underdog Imperial Sister had been staying here for the past two days, looking through some historical books borrowed from the temples and trying to find records of that evil dragon in them.
Unfortunately, after two days, Eva, the Dark Curse Master loyal to the Underdog Imperial Sister, still had not found anything.
The temples had quite a few historical books that recorded evil dragons, but none of those evil dragons was the one who had abducted the Underdog Imperial Sister.
After two days without any results, she began to wonder. Had the evil dragon who abducted the Underdog Imperial Sister, Lucia, just awakened from a long slumber? Otherwise, given the evil dragon's personality, it was impossible for him not to have left a prominent mark on human history.
If none of the books about evil dragons recorded by the various temples in the imperial capital contained anything about the evil dragon who had abducted the Underdog Imperial Sister,
then the difficulty of finding that evil dragon could only be described as limitless. "Eva, you've almost finished looking through the books sent by the various temples. How is it? Did you find anything that matches that evil dragon?"
"No. However, among the books sent by the Temple of the Goddess of Wisdom, there is a brief record that says this.
In a certain year, month, and day of the Creation Calendar, a black dragon suspected to have only recently reached adulthood entered the vicinity of the temple headquarters. It clashed with Saintess Your Highness, who was out for a walk, and injured her. Afterward, several holy knights from the temple headquarters attacked together, but the black dragon was no match for them and fled."
Of all the books concerning evil dragons kept by the various temples, only the Temple of the Goddess of Wisdom contained such an obscure record.
The reason this information caught Eva's attention was that the Temple of Wisdom had called it a black dragon, not an evil dragon.
The evil dragon had a name.
The black dragon who had abducted Lucia, Imperial Daughter Your Highness, did not have a name.
The information from the Temple of Wisdom seemed valuable, but in reality, it was completely useless, because the Temple of Wisdom had only recorded one or two sentences about that black dragon.
They did not even know the black dragon's name, much less his whereabouts.
Not knowing the black dragon's name or whereabouts was completely useless to a Dark Curse Master like her.
"Your discovery isn't very valuable. I found some interesting things here too. Are you interested in hearing them?"
"Are they related to that black dragon?"
"I don't know, but the record in the book is about a black dragon."
"What book? An unofficial history?"
Eva looked up from the pile of books. She had already gone through all the books in the imperial capital that recorded evil dragons, but she had not found any information related to a black dragon.
Had she overlooked something earlier? Or had Your Highness Asina found some information about that black dragon in an unofficial history? "An autobiography. The autobiography of the strongest emperor in history. At the same time, this strongest emperor in history is also the person I admire most, without exception."
The strongest emperor in history? The person Your Highness Asina admired most?
Brude Donahue?
That name appeared in Eva's mind. Lucia, Imperial Daughter Your Highness, had once asked her to investigate it, and she had learned from some historical books about things this person had done.
He was indeed very powerful.
He was indeed an emperor.
But he also had another identity: the first Pope of the War God Temple.
Besides those two identities, he had another title: God Eater.
The official historical records about this person were complicated. His name was taboo in the Temple of Light.
Anyone who mentioned him would get beaten. Someone that powerful had written an autobiography?
Weren't autobiographies the sort of thing only shameless people wrote?
What respectable person wrote an autobiography?
"Your Highness found the autobiography in an unofficial history?"
"It was a treasure I spent a great deal of money digging out from a pile of ancient books. It was written personally by that powerful figure."
"Is it trustworthy?"
"Extremely trustworthy. No one would dare impersonate that person, and even fewer would dare use his name. His name could be mentioned, but absolutely no one would dare impersonate him and use it for themselves. Besides, this autobiography contains many embarrassing episodes from his past. Only he himself would dare make fun of himself like that."
Eva thought about it and felt that Your Highness Asina had a point. No one truly dared to slander Brude Donahue. The Temple of Light disliked him, but even it had only called him God Eater.
They had not dared to truly slander him to death, because he was the first Pope of the War God Temple and had received the War God's recognition.
To question him was to question the War God.
The War God was still one of the deities worshiped by the Temple of Light.
"Did that powerful figure mention a black dragon in his autobiography?"
"Yes. This is how it was written: I saw an underage black dragon in the mountains. I once tried to trick the black dragon into signing a Dragon Knight Contract with me, but I never expected the underage black dragon to say, 'As long as you call me Daddy, I will sign a Dragon Knight Contract with you.'
Naturally, I refused such an outrageous demand. After a round of negotiations, I said, 'If I call you Black Dragon Big Brother, will you sign a Dragon Knight Contract with me?'
The underage black dragon refused. He said he only wanted to be a daddy, not my big brother. He also said that only pretty human girls had the qualifications to call him Black Dragon Big Brother.
Later, I told the black dragon that as long as he signed a Dragon Knight Contract with me, I would allow him to date my daughter once I had one.
The underage black dragon refused again. He said that a human who sold his daughter's happiness was unworthy of signing a Dragon Knight Contract with noble him.
The underage black dragon slapped me and flew away. After that, I never saw that underage black dragon with such noble dragon character again.
I do not even know his name. This matter became a lifelong regret of mine."
"This passage comes from Brude Donahue's autobiography, The Underage Black Dragon."
"???"
What difference was there between this and the information about the black dragon from the Temple of Wisdom? It seemed valuable, but in reality, it was completely useless to them.
"So, we still don't know the name of the black dragon we saw that day?"
"It seems that's the case."
