Evil Dragon: The young dragon I picked up keeps planning on becoming an empress

```

Exhaling a puff of searing smoke, Lance waved his hand to dissipate the odd smell, rolling his eyes as he said, "Your tolerance for words is lacking; a single innocuous comment can enrage you. If you encounter a cunning, sly, and sharp-tongued Black Dragon... you could be provoked into losing control by his words at any moment."

"Didn't Austin tell you during the call? Later on, the Black Dragon seized on this point to mock him... You need to learn from this."

As a friend, the Golden Giant Dragon Austin wasn't too bad. After being viciously beaten by the Black Dragon, he didn't hide it for the sake of pride but actively contacted Erinna to warn her of the wild Pureblood Black Dragon roaming the Human World.

He had thought that the Golden Giant Dragon would keep the fact that he was thrashed by the Black Dragon a secret from Thunder Giant Dragon Erinna.

To his surprise, he chose to tell Erinna about it.

Thinking about it, it's quite normal.

A Golden Giant Dragon who complains to his own wife... he has some sense of shame, but not much.

The Young Dragon Lucia found the Evil Dragon somewhat miraculous; he always managed to accidentally utter phrases that could infuriate others to death without any compensation.

Liquor emboldens the cowardly dragon...

How did he come up with that phrase?

Upon closer consideration, a drunk person... aside from being more prone to causing trouble, indeed does have more courage than usual.

Some minor nobles, when confessing to a girl they fancy, would drink a bit beforehand, probably to muster up some courage.

"Human Viscount, you'd best be kinder with your words, not all dragons are as amiable as me. If you ever meet the Black Dragon from Austin's tales and irritate him with your venomous tongue, that Black Dragon would surely be delighted to experience your swordsmanship."

"Speaking of which, the Human Swordsman granted you the title 'Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor', huh, this title... could upset some dragons, especially those who fancy being the Evil Dragon. They may take your honorary title... as a provocation."

"You don't say anything, Austin doesn't say anything, no Giant Dragon will know that I am the 'Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor'."

"Austin has a big mouth; your identity will sooner or later be revealed to other dragons by him... You should count yourself lucky that Dragon Island is currently unreachable. If contact could be made with Dragon Island, Austin would surely broadcast what's happened here over to the other side."

Dragon Island remains unreachable for now, and neither she nor Austin can contact the Giant Dragons on Dragon Island yet.

However... the Human World has seen the rise of the Dragon God Temple and has won the recognition of the Dragon God, so the isolated Dragon Island might already be aware of this.

Perhaps before long, Dragon Island will re-emerge on the continent.

"Under such circumstances... shouldn't it be the child of the Black Dragon who should count himself lucky? The Black Dragon made wild claims, saying his child will one day step on the heads of all dragons on Dragon Island... and ascend to the throne step by step."

"....."

With bared teeth and a grimace, won't the despicable Evil Dragon just drop it? She was almost forgetting about that.

┭┮﹏┭┮

She prays that sister Erinna can beat the Evil Dragon and, hopefully... make him cry with the use of a Divine Artifact.

"Hehe, the Dragon Island's Young Dragon will teach the Black Dragon's child how to be a dragon," Erinna's gaze fell upon the Young Dragon, "Who knows? Maybe the little dragon will defeat the Black Dragon's child before the Young Dragons of Dragon Island."

"Take it slow, there's no rush."

"Indeed, we can't rush."

Thunder Giant Dragon Erinna accepted the bottle of white spirit Lance sent her. Aside from the occasional nonsense, the Human Viscount wasn't too bad.

Next time he comes around, she'll gift him a sword. Your next chapter is on empire

The Evil Dragon Scum Ancestor, it's quite fitting for him to wield a sword.

The Young Dragon went off to prepare ingredients for the afternoon stall.

With nothing better to do, Lance was about to pack up the rocking chair and return to the Earl's Mansion when Erinna stopped him.

Erinna asked Lance to leave the rocking chair; she wanted to lie on it to bask in the sun and see if it was really as comfortable as it seemed.

The blanket was left behind as well, even though she doesn't fear extreme cold or heat, she always felt without the blanket... it would lack the Viscount's sense of comfort.

Lance left Erinna the rocking chair and the blanket.

It satisfied Erinna's curiosity.

Allowing her to experience what is called 'stealing a half day's leisure in the floating life.'

Aside from sleeping... dragons also need to know how to enjoy life.

.....

In the Earl's Mansion, Lance sat in the courtyard watching Meredith with rabbit ears in the projection, those three guys finally remembered to pay back the money.

```

"Lance, old man, have you really lived to see your second life?! When Louis, Dalton, and Bazel came back and told us, we didn't believe it, but who would have thought, old man, you actually did live to see your second life."

Meredith, who appeared in the projection, saw the youthful Lance jumping and hopping around, a manifestation of a bunny girl when she's overjoyed.

"Young old man, where are you vacationing? The place you're staying at... looks a bit luxurious? The scenery seems nice too... Lance, old man... when did you become so wealthy?"

"Wealthy? Me? It's my impoverished subjects who made something of themselves, and then they chipped in to build me this... fairly decent Earl's Mansion."

No more pretending.

Old man Lance has decided to lay his cards on the table with you youngsters. Actually, your old man Lance isn't some dirt-poor pharmacist...

but a bona fide noble.

And a noble with a fief and subjects, no less.

"Viscount, here's your juice."

Ingrid, dressed as a maid, inadvertently stepped into view of the projection, seen by Meredith of the Bronze Bounty Guild and the other members of the Bronze Guild as well.

Members of the Bronze Guild at home all wanted to see Lance, who had lived to see his second life, and not only did they see the Lance who lived again.

They saw the somewhat luxurious and grand Earl's Mansion behind old man Lance.

They also heard the maid Ingrid calling Lance "Viscount."

What was going on?

How did the somewhat wealthy old man Lance suddenly become a Viscount?

"Viscount?! Old man, you, you, you... how did you suddenly become a Viscount?"

"What about being as poor as a church mouse, old man? How did you quietly become a noble?"

"Damn it! Seeing old man Lance so comfortable, it feels worse than drinking the Extraordinary Elixir that old man Lance concocted."

"I get it, it's rented! The maid, the luxurious villa, the courtyard, it must all be rented by old man Lance, I refuse to believe Lance is a noble!

It's fake, all fake!"

Ingrid, with her plump face, heard the words of those extraordinary beings in the projection and covered her mouth, laughing. These people seemed to have a good relationship with the Viscount...

"Hello, my name is Ingrid, and I'm not rented by the Viscount, I'm actually his maid. Oh no, the Viscount's title is actually Earl, it's just that we are used to calling him Viscount.

You are the Viscount's friends; welcome to Saint Blue for a visit."

"What!!! Not a Viscount? An Earl?!!! Ahhhh!!! Kill me now, Lance is so old, how does he still have the chance to become an Earl!!!"

"Damn it, why isn't it me becoming the Earl? I'm much handsomer than old man Lance!!!"

"Adolf, what are you packing for?"

"I'm off to serve old man Lance, I'm going to be Lance's guard... Wait a minute? What's that sound? Is there an earthquake over by old man Lance?

Why do I hear a rumbling noise?"

"I think I heard it too."

Sitting in the courtyard, Lance waved his hand gently at the Bronze Projection Communicator floating in the air; the projector turned around, and then the members of the Bronze Bounty Guild saw the source of the rumbling noise.

Dozens of knights clad in blue and gold armor, riding Earth Dragons, were making the noise as they moved along the road opposite, and leading the two were Flying Dragon Knights; they even heard dragon roars.

What was going on?

Dozens of Earth Dragon Knights.

Two Flying Dragon Knights.

Oh no... Had old man Lance's noble one-day-experience card expired?

"Quick, old man, give us the address, we'll come and protect you."

With two dragon roars, two Flying Dragons landed not far outside the courtyard, and two knights in blue and gold armor leaped down from the Flying Dragons, lifting their visors as they entered the courtyard and knelt on one knee three meters from Lance.

"Earl, Captain Tixia of the Blue Moon Dragon Knight Legion..."

"Vice-Captain Clareya..."

"We request the Earl to review the troops and bestow honors!"

Entire Bronze Bounty Guild: "???!!!"
