This chapter is an extra update for the ten-thousand reward from "Book Friend 20180724174943994."

A dragon's lifespan was one thousand years. That was the universally accepted figure.

As for whether it was trustworthy, Liszt had no way to distinguish truth from falsehood and could only provisionally believe it. Dragons under a hundred years old were juvenile dragons; from one hundred to eight hundred, they were adult dragons; after eight hundred, they became elderly dragons. Elderly dragons would leave their territories and fly toward Dragon Valley.

What he could determine now was that dragons did not necessarily die in Dragon Valley—evil dragons might be slain by dragon-slaying heroes. The Fire Dragon on Black Horse Island had been an evil dragon, and its death was highly suspicious. It might not have died of old age; it could have been killed by someone.

And even after a dragon died, it seemed it could be reborn. Its life was like a cycle.

"Raising a dragon really costs a fortune. But what puzzles me now is, what did those evil dragons without anyone to raise them eat when they were young?" Liszt was deeply puzzled. Asking the little Fire Dragon would clearly yield no answer. Though the little Fire Dragon was clever, it only knew to demand food and refuse to be ridden.

A Light Dragon dwelled on Red Maple Mountain in the Maple Grand Duchy.

No one in the Maple Grand Duchy knew when the Light Dragon had arrived at Red Maple Mountain, what it had eaten to grow into adulthood, or how it had become an adult dragon that could not be eliminated.

There also seemed to be evil dragons living in certain other places, occasionally invading human towns.

In knightly novels, evil dragons snatched human wealth, devoured people, and ate livestock.
