Borch galloped forward on his horse, ran forward for tens of meters, turned over and dismounted, and slapped the horse's butt hard to let it go.

He made fists with his hands and crossed them in front of his chest.

The next moment, a dazzling golden light burst out from his body.

The dazzling golden light covered his whole body.

He bent down and lay on the ground.

The body also expanded rapidly like an inflated balloon.

Finally, it transformed into a giant dragon the size of a small mountain.

Even if we put aside the appearance, we can still see the elegance of real dragons that is different from dragon-like creatures.

Looking at this beautiful golden dragon, Lynn suddenly understood why the dragon-slaying team in the original novel would rather risk being burned by the dragon's flames or swallowed by the dragon to fight against the dangerous giant dragon in order to compete for the title of "Dragon-Slaying Warriors" that seemed illusory to others.

"This is my true identity, Your Excellency Lynn. My name is Villentretenmerth, which in your language means Three Jackdaws."

"As you can see, I am a golden dragon, a creature that was originally thought not to exist by the world."

"As you can see, my scales are golden. Although they are not gold, their value is more like gold."

"How about it, Your Excellency Lynn, as a monster expert, don't you want to have an extra golden dragon head in your collection of trophies?"

This is the final test.

Although Borch told Lynn that his true body is a dragon.

But he concealed the fact about Jinlong.

Deliberately revealing your true self in front of Lynn will be more shocking.

Borch has never shown his true form in front of anyone other than Zerrikania.

This is not only because true dragons are now endangered creatures, but also because golden dragons are even rarer and more precious.

If Borch has gained anything from traveling on the continent for hundreds of years, it is disappointment in the greedy personality of intelligent creatures.

Yes, intelligent creatures, not a single race of humans, but the disappointment of all intelligent creatures including humans, elves, dwarves, and dwarves.

Borch knows that in this era, many elves... especially young elves, like to complain that humans have compressed their living space and taken away the land that their ancestors have always relied on for survival.

But before humans set foot on this land, elves were always happy to compress the living space of other races.

Even the number of true dragons has declined to the point where they are now even rarer than demon hunters. This is all thanks to the "Dragon Song War" initiated by the elves.

Therefore, Borch has no sympathy for the low status of elves today.

It's just the natural law of natural selection and the law of the jungle.

But witchers, they're monster killers.

They were created to protect humans.

Just like a cat activates the blood of hunting in its body when it sees a bird, the blood of hunting also flows in its body.

Borch is not looking down on Lynn.

But there are really only a handful of people who can fight against nature or even defeat it.

"Sir Borch, this joke is not funny. I have already said that I will only eliminate necessary evils and will not do anything because of my own selfish desires or greed."

Lynn stretched out his hands forward.

Keep your hands away from weapons.

Show that you mean no harm.

"Besides, I don't like other people's temptations."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lynn, it was rude of me to judge a gentleman with a villain's heart, and I sincerely apologize to you."

Jin Long lowered his head deeply.

Now that everyone has spoken out, Lynn no longer has to hide what he already knew.

"I accept... So, I have been traveling with a dragon? Then, Mr. Borch, you want me to escort you to Holopole City, is it because of the dragon that was poisoned?"

Jin Long nodded and said in a very humane manner.

"Yes, her name is Myrgtabrakke. It was she who summoned me to help her eliminate the evil forces that threaten her."

"As for inviting you to come with us, it is purely a temporary move."

"Ever since Gezras of Leyda, all the demon hunters I have met have an attitude towards monsters that must be destroyed - including dragons, unicorns and phoenixes, they have all been included in their list of monsters that must be destroyed."

"But you, Mr. Lynn, are different from them. Although you are also a demon hunter, your attitude and thoughts about everything are different."

"It is precisely because I want to know what kind of person you are that I concealed my true identity from you during the journey. I would like to apologize again."

"However, now that you know my true identity and my purpose, Sir Lynn, I hope you can accept the commission I propose next."

"Come with me to Myrgtabrakke's dragon lair to help her and protect her."

"She has promised to pay me all the treasures in the dragon's lair. If you agree, I am willing to give you half of it as compensation for being deceived by me for so long."

For short-lived humans, no one can avoid pursuing material things.

Even nobles hope to obtain more land, more wealth, more population, and greater power.

Even the king hopes to unite other countries and expand territory for his own country.

But in the eyes of the immortal Borch, these are just passing clouds.

Money, status, power... he already has these.

He couldn't throw it away even if he wanted to.

Once, he told the king of Zerrikania that there was no need to send someone to protect him, nor did he need to spend a large sum of money from the treasury every year to honor him.

As a result, when King Zerrikania heard this, he felt as if he were mourning his concubine, and thought that the dragon they believed in was going to abandon them.

At that time, King Zerrikania was so troubled that he wanted to kill his wife and children, and finally hanged himself on the old crooked neck tree to thank the people.

This made Borch quite speechless.

Finally, under the bitter advice of a bunch of Zerrikania ministers, I had to run to find King Zerrikania again and tell him that what I said before was actually just a joke, and this farce ended.

In Zerrikania, Borch is the one who is above ten thousand people and is God.

But because of this, he was very lonely.

Because he has no friends.

Therefore, for Borch, he does not like the treasures Myrgtabrakke paid him.

What he likes is the friend Lynn.

"Half the treasure?"

Lynn thought to himself that this Borch was indeed the dragon that Zerrikania admired, and he was actually willing to give up half of his treasure to others.

Think about the fact that most of the impoverished demon hunters are crawling around in the mud, working hard and not making much money.

The gap between humans is even greater than the gap between humans and dogs.

Wait, Borch is not a human being...

That's okay.

Since Borch wants to give him half of the treasure if he asks, it is naturally impossible for Lynn to refuse.

As for being deceived...

In fact, Borch didn't even know that she already knew his true identity, so it wasn't really a deception.
