NOVEL WEB Chapter 139 Evil Dragon Appears, The Legendary Hero is About to Emerge_2
Dozens of Earth Dragons stared coldly at Lance with their chilly vertical pupils.
Earth Dragons were extremely ferocious; ordinary extraordinary beings wouldn't dare provoke them in the wild.
Lance locked eyes with those dozens of Earth Dragons for a moment, then each of them lowered their heads, no longer daring to look at Lance.
In the eyes of this human... they saw a Black Dragon possessing a pair of golden-red vertical pupils.
Standing behind Lance, Tixia and Leia looked at each other the moment the Earth Dragons lowered their heads.
Were the Earth Dragons intimidated by the Viscount?
That made sense—the Viscount was a Beastmaster, and his two pets... were much more terrifying than Earth Dragons.
"Tixia."
"Present."
Tixia came before Lance.
"Receive the banner."
"Yes."
Tixia stepped forward cautiously and took the new banner prepared by the Viscount for the Blue Moon Knight Order.
"Leia, assist Tixia in unfurling the banner."
"Yes."
As the banner was unfurled, a flag embroidered with a blue and gold Giant Dragon appeared before dozens of knights.
The banner was red at the base, with a blue and gold Giant Dragon embroidered on it.
Dragon Banner.
Knight Orders with a Dragon Banner as their standard were all immensely powerful.
Two knights stepped forward and took the banner from Tixia and Leia.
"This is the crest of the Knight Order, forged by my own hands and blessed. Tixia, Leia... never mind... whelp, stop gazing, come here... you will personally present these crests to the knights."
The Young Dragon shook its head frantically: "No, I'm scared."
Experience exclusive tales on empire
"Scared of what?"
"Scared of the Earth Dragons..."
"...."
Tixia and Leia brought the hidden Dragon Whelp over; the Blue Moon Knight Order's crest featured an amethyst Young Dragon, wrought in copper, seeming fierce yet adorable.
It was more of a pendant than a crest.
The amethyst Young Dragon crest designed by Lance could be worn or attached to armor.
When the Young Dragon handed over the crests modeled after her to the knights, they were all stunned.
Is this to be the future crest of our Knight Order?
Well, I'll be... it's not fierce at all.
Going into battle with this... if the opponents don't die from their beating... they'll die laughing first...
Lance knew exactly what they were thinking through their eyes.
Since Saint Blue didn't expand externally, there was no need to design a crest that looked formidable; the ferociously cute Dragon Whelp could serve as a mascot and also bless those wearing this crest... pendant with safety from mortal harm.
The crest had triple functions: protection, healing, and defense.
Soon, the Young Dragon finished distributing all the pendants she was modeled after, and she encouraged each knight as she handed over the amethyst Young Dragon crest to them.
She had seen the detestable Princess Asina bestow honors to knights, and had memorized the encouraging words Asina had told them.
As a princess of the empire, she knew a bit herself.
When the Young Dragon returned to Lance's side, dozens of knights knelt on one knee, swearing their loyalty to Lance.
"Loyal to Saint Blue."
"Loyal to Saint Blue!"
"Loyal to Saint Blue!!!"
The first "loyal to Saint Blue" was said by Lance, the second was the pledge of loyalty and eternal non-betrayal to Saint Blue by the Blue Moon Knight Order, and the third "loyal to Saint Blue" was... members of the Bronze Bounty Guild suddenly shouting out in unison.
So, the old man Lance's fief is called Saint Blue.
If in the future they receive a bounty mission from Saint Blue, they should give the old man this much face.
After all, they're somewhat Saint Blue People.
Tixia and Leia led the Blue Moon Knight Order away.
Lance returned to the courtyard, eating fruit, drinking juice, and chatting with the members of the Bronze Bounty Guild.
Young Dragon Lucia greeted the members of the Bronze Bounty Guild and then ran off to prepare ingredients for the stall.
"Old man Lance... where's your Saint Blue? Tell us, we'll visit you someday."
"In Moss Province of the Red Maple Kingdom. Once you reach Moss Province and say you're going to Saint Blue, there will be a carriage to take you there."
"The Red Maple Kingdom? Got it, we'll inquire about it and see if there's a Teleportation Array that goes directly to the capital of the Red Maple Kingdom. If there is, we might show up in Saint Blue in the next few days. Old man... you'll have to treat us to a meal then!"
"Sure, if you think Saint Blue is nice enough, I'd welcome you to settle down in Saint Blue."
```
"Settling in Saint Blue? Old man... Do you mean... let us open a branch in Saint Blue?"
"Yes."
"Then, can you give us a discount on the property?"
"No problem."
"Old man, I finally see the noble demeanor in you. And also... Old man... do you have any more of those little dragon badges? If you do... prepare some for us, too. We're half Saint Blue People and half your protectorate. It wouldn't make sense for your Knight Order to have them and not us, old man, you can't play favorites."
"..."
"We'll talk when you get here."
After chatting for a while, Lance ended the projection call. Those kids from the Bronze Bounty Guild said they wanted to come to Saint Blue, so in a little while... they really might come to Saint Blue to have some fun.
The fact that old man Lance is a count... come evening... in the city where the Bronze Bounty Guild is based... more than half of the citizens will probably know.
They're a bunch of loudmouths...
At three in the afternoon, Lance took the young dragon to set up a stall in Saint Blue City to earn some money.
The Viscount loves to take the little Dragon Highness to set up a stall to make money, and this has spread throughout Saint Blue City.
Sometimes, the Viscount would also take little Dragon Highness to set up a stall in some beautifully scenic places outside Saint Blue City.
Setting up a stall haphazardly, whether or not he makes money... the Viscount doesn't seem to care much...
Little Dragon Highness is quite easygoing, often chasing after children to play, and occasionally stealing the candy from their hands...
After snatching the candy from the children, she would tell them... eating candy can easily cause cavities.
The kids ask, if it causes cavities why do you eat it?
Little Dragon Highness would say, she's a dragon and isn't afraid of getting cavities...
It's the human children who will get cavities after eating.
I don't know if it's just an illusion, but the citizens of Saint Blue City feel... that since the Viscount returned, Saint Blue has become much livelier.
After setting up the stall for three hours, he made enough money to buy ingredients.
At over six in the evening, Evil Dragon Lance took the young dragon to the food market to buy vegetables.
In Saint Blue, a dragon will not go out to find ingredients on its own; they will buy if they can.
In the event that something cannot be bought, they would hand it over to Ingrid to let her find someone to prepare the ingredients.
When there are people available to help, a dragon won't do everything personally.
She believed the dragon when it spoke.
Evil Dragon spending money to buy a noble title is purely for enjoyment, with no other purpose whatsoever.
If the legendary dragons all had the brains of Evil Dragon Lance, there would be no need to loot caravans or kidnap princesses.
Princess Leia with the white hair and red eyes came forth on her own, but the dragon couldn't be bothered to keep her.
Dinner was sumptuous.
The delicacies prepared by the dragon... always made it difficult for her to resist. Even though before eating, she always reminded herself to eat less, for eating too much could lead to weight gain...
But every time, she would forget as she ate...
November 16, the year 3455 of the Black Dragon Calendar, overcast.
Thunder Giant Dragon Erinna left Saint Blue early this morning.
She, the pretend young dragon, and the Evil Dragon watched Thunder Giant Dragon Erinna take flight.
Before leaving, Sister Elina told the Evil Dragon that if Saint Blue ever forms a new Knight Order, she allows the Evil Dragon, this human Viscount, to include her, this Thunder Giant Dragon, on the emblem.
The little Saint Blue, because of the Dragon God Temple, suddenly gained the favor of two pureblood dragons.
If the Evil Dragon had even a bit of ambition, the future of Saint Blue... could be even brighter.
Unfortunately, the free-spirited Evil Dragon had no interest in expansion.
In his words... he could disappear from Saint Blue at any time.
There was no need to meddle in the affairs of Saint Blue.
"Dragon Whelp, no need to train today, go have fun."
"Where are you planning to go?"
"Going to test my physical strength, to help me plan your training regimen later."
"Can the Evil Dragon catch up to Sister Erinna?"
"I have a feeling, Erinna... is waiting for the so-called Evil Dragon to block her path... I can't let her down..."
"..."
With a sigh in her heart, the young dragon thought about how the Evil Dragon, upon seeing its kin, not only neglected to host them but also often thought about fighting them...
"Be careful then..."
That day, people in other provinces of the Red Maple Kingdom seemed to see a Black Dragon flying over their city skies again...
Evil Dragon sightings...
Could it be that the legendary hero is about to make an appearance?
