Is the Evil Dragon a Noble Young Master Who Ran Away from Home?
Not to make a fuss about friendship, Steven was certain he had seen Lance's face in the capital, but as for where, he couldn't really remember for the moment.
Lucia, the young dragon, grinned. The way the temple paladins struck up a conversation was so old-fashioned. In the capital, she had seen some young nobles use this method to flirt with girls, but those young nobles from great families would never use this method.
They would openly introduce themselves, telling the girl which family they came from, and sometimes even showing her the family crest.
Great noble families with profound heritage and long-standing traditions all have their own family crests.
The longer a family has existed, the more complex and prestigious its crest becomes.
Was this paladin using such rhetoric to pique the dragon's interest because he was afraid the dragon would reject him? Sigh.
Evil dragons can always make some inexplicable things take strange turns.
For example, regarding the matter of "borrowing" the idol, under normal circumstances, the dragon's current identity should be that of a criminal wanted by the temple.
However, instead of being wanted by the temple, he became a hot commodity. The bishop didn't want the idol he "borrowed" anymore and even let him keep it. Just now, the bishop was arguing with a fellow temple paladin because of the dragon.
Once she returns to the capital and becomes the emperor, she will definitely write an autobiography. She has already thought of a title for it, "My Wonderful Adventures During the Years I Was Captured by an Evil Dragon." She has a feeling that if she writes it, it will definitely be a bestseller.
"You've seen me in the capital?"
If this had happened to someone else, Lance would have thought that the paladin in front of him was just setting the stage for the conversation to come.
There's a chance that what happened to him is true.
After all, he had been active in the human world for a long time as a human, and had appearances of various ages.
It's normal for some long-established families to have his portrait in the form of young Lance, middle-aged Lance, middle-aged and elderly Lance, and old Lance.
It's not impossible that his photograph, after many twists and turns, ended up in the Nod Kingdom.
He had no memory of ever being in the Nod Kingdom; this was his first time visiting this human kingdom.
"Yes, my attention was focused on stealing the Valkyrie Statue from you, and I didn't think about anything else. It wasn't until I was talking to you up close that I realized I seemed to have seen your face in the capital. Your face seems to have appeared on the bottle before. On the bottle?"
Steven clapped his hands and laughed, "I remember now, I remember now, I did see you on the bottle, or rather, I saw your face on the bottle, on a beautiful perfume bottle."
That perfume brand probably doesn't have the capacity to fully expand their products throughout the kingdom yet; it's only sold in the capital, and it's called: [Blue Moon].
This brand of perfume has only been in the capital for a short time, but thanks to its excellent quality, it has quickly become a rising star among perfume brands.
He was highly sought after among the nobility in the capital.
"???"
Blue Moon perfume? The young dragon Lucia looked at the evil dragon. She had heard Joanna mention this brand of perfume before. When she heard about this brand of perfume that day, she subconsciously thought of the evil dragon.
Unexpectedly, today, a paladin from the Nod Kingdom mentioned this Blue Moon perfume. The key point is that the glass bottle of this perfume has the face of an evil dragon printed on it. Could it be that Blue Moon perfume is really an industry that the evil dragon uses to make money in the human world?
"Lance, you still sell perfume?"
"Not for sale."
"Then why did the paladin say he saw your face on a perfume bottle in the capital?"
"It's unclear at the moment."
Printing his image on glass bottles, does that make him a spokesperson?
The problem is that he has never received any endorsement fees.
"Is there only my face on the glass bottle? Are there any other words?"
"Let me think, there seems to be something like ' Blue Moon Young Master, please contact them,' it looks like a missing person notice."
If you're the person on the perfume bottle, then your status is quite extraordinary; you're a young master. If Blue Moon perfume is your family's business, then you're even more remarkable—a wealthy tycoon among the nobility.
Steven wasn't sure if the young man in front of him was the person Blue Moon perfume was looking for, but he really did look like the person on the perfume bottle.
A runaway noble young master? Steven's gaze fell on the little dragon beside Lance. The possibility of someone from a noble family being able to raise such a small dragon was indeed very high.
People without money can't afford to raise baby dragons.
Contract pets and mounts are mostly owned by nobles or soldiers.
Leaving aside powerful kingdoms, their military forces have entered a diversified stage, applying source energy and some extraordinary materials to the military field.
"Brother Lance, if you're not settled in Lionheart City, why don't you come with me to the capital? The capital is more prosperous than Lionheart City. With your talent, you'll definitely thrive there."
While you're at it, go to the capital and see if Blue Moon perfume is part of your family business. Of course, even in the capital, you'll still be a distinguished guest of our Valkyrie Temple.
Should we go to the capital?
Lance didn't mind. Since he had already started taking the baby dragon to explore the human world, he wouldn't mind taking it to see more bustling human cities.
In some kingdoms in the human world that have entered the semi-industrial era, steam engines have already appeared in their countries and have been applied to people's livelihoods.
Energy-powered steam train, energy-powered car.
The capital of the Nod Kingdom should have short-range energy-powered steam trains, and the royal capital should have energy-powered cars.
It would be nice to take the dragon cub for a ride in the energy-powered car around the capital.
Let her see the cutting-edge energy technology in the human world.
The human world today is far more prosperous than when he was a child, with all kinds of technologies, professions, and skills progressing and evolving.
There are also various clashes of ideas. Sometimes he wonders, with the human world developing so rapidly, will Dragon Island, which has been separated from the human world for countless years, be amazed by the changes in the human world when it reappears? Oh, I forgot. The holy mountains of the major temples all have Pure-Blooded Dragon. I wonder if these Pure-Blooded Dragon have any connection with Dragon Island. If they do, then Dragon Island can receive the changes on this side of the human world.
If not, then let the beautiful Dragon Island remain beautiful on its own. Later, when my dragon cubs grow up, I'll send them to Dragon Island to guide you.
"Are there any dragons on your Valkyrie Temple's sacred mountain?"
"There are no Pure-Blooded Dragon, but there is a Golden Dragon that is about to evolve into Pure-Blooded Dragon."
The Valkyrie Temple is nothing special; it doesn't even have Pure-Blooded Dragon.
It's still because of the lack of divine status.
Look at those temples at the level of the main gods; each holy mountain has Pure-Blooded Dragon. What is this? This is profound heritage.
"Dragon cub, would you like to take a trip to the capital?"
Do you have enough money for your trip?
"That should be enough. I'll lend Louis and the other two 150 Nuo Gold. I still have nearly 200 Nuo Gold left. If we don't have enough money for lodging in the capital, we can set up a stall to earn some money."
"."
Remove the word "we," and it becomes: I, the young dragon, am making money by setting up a stall, while you, the evil dragon, are sitting in a coffee shop drinking red wine and eating desserts. "Brother Lance, I think you've forgotten what I said before. If you were the young master of the [Blue Moon] family, you would never lack money when you arrived in the capital. [Blue Moon]'s turnover is still quite considerable."
"And the cost of living in the capital isn't as exorbitant as you might imagine. Two hundred Nuo Gold is enough for a two-week trip if you're careful with your spending."
"Brother Lance, if you want to go to the capital, I'll sponsor you three hundred 'Nuo Gold."
The Fat Bishop Franco felt he couldn't remain silent; the Valkyrie Painting painted by Lance alone was worth that much money.
No, it's something that can't be measured in money at all.
A painting that can capture the essence and spirit of Valkyrie is truly priceless to the temple.
Lance was tempted, but that was all.
If the Fat Bishop had said so earlier, he would have accepted it.
He had told the Valkyrie that it was a gift for Sophia, so if he accepted the Fat Bishop's money now, it would be going back on his word.
Not having money doesn't mean he's actually short of money.
"No need. As I said, consider it a gift for Sophia. You don't need to feel indebted to me."
"Lance is very righteous."
It's good to save three hundred Nuo Gold; he, as a bishop, doesn't actually have much money.
"Lance, shall we go to the capital?"
"Go ahead, a windfall has fallen from the sky, you can't refuse it."
There's no reason not to accept an endorsement fee that falls from the sky.
"Have we completed Brandon's request?"
"We've exceeded expectations. Joanna has moved on from her grief, the cracks in her heart have disappeared, and we've helped her repair and rebuild the garden where she found solace. Now we can say goodbye."
This fleeting friendship can be recorded in your diary; for you, many people are destined to be just passersby in your life.
