The Red Dragon Just Wants To Do As It Pleases

No matter how conflicted Attilicia's heart was, in the end, he still fulfilled David's wish.

He spent another full two months in the Sixth Prison, tailoring the finished Silver Scale Breastplate. Then, he embedded the 'magic pocket watch'—which originally belonged to Landis, the God of Justice, and contained the Book of the Dragon—into it, ensuring it corresponded precisely to David's vital heart chamber. After polishing the original runes, he redesigned and reconstructed the Magic Patterns.

The final product became a dragon's head biting a silver magical watch face, also resembling it holding a dragon's eye that seemed to possess its own life, like a magic dragon reborn from the rivers of time.

And in some ways, it indeed possessed its own life, much like the Tower Spirit in a magic tower used to control all magical mechanisms.

Originally, it could automatically record everything the wearer perceived or experienced around them and mark recurrences for future reference. This feature was typically accessed manually in the Book of the Dragon.

But after David wore it on his chest, he directly used the Authority [Arrogance] to link it with his own consciousness. Then, according to his usage habits, he had the information displayed on his retina.

David then tried glaring at his dragon father. A relatively crude 'character panel' appeared because the Magic Spirit had not yet been fully trained:

Name: Blythe Carter Attilicia Antonella Swietlanden

Race: Metal Dragon—Silver Dragon

Occupation: Magician 9/Mage 15/Alchemist 18 (Non-Toriel Standard Occupation)

Alignment: Chaotic Good

Level: 19 (Toriel Main Material Plane Standard)

Attributes: Strength 27, Dexterity 10, Constitution 21, Intelligence 31, Wisdom 21, Charisma 39 (-15).

Spells Displayed: 0-level—Cure Minor Wounds, Dancing Lights, Detect Magic, Mage's Hand, Mend...

Skills and Feats: Bluff +32, Concentration +29, Negotiation +27, Disguise +31...

These skills and spells were too lengthy. They had all been displayed by his dragon father before, from 0-level tricks to the 7th-level [Control Celestials]. David was not too surprised and skipped over them.

However, the feat that Attilicia, this self-proclaimed righteous Silver Dragon, was best at and scored highest in—calculated from an information model based on their many years of interaction—was actually Bluff...

Should I say it or not? Isn't he just like the former shady businessman...

How many truths are there usually in this Silver Dragon's words...

And what the hell is this Charisma 39? A draconic succubus?

Although David didn't have much of a concept about these data points yet, his intelligence was already outrageous enough. It turned out his charisma was on an even higher level. From the -15, it seemed his old dad had indeed made some effort to disguise this aspect.

It wasn't until this moment that David finally understood why his resolute mother, Pafila, had 'made a mistake at the seaside.' If I were a female dragon, I probably would have made a mistake too. I must have! Every day, damn it...

"How does it feel? Why are you staring at me like that?" Attilicia suddenly felt as if he were being seen through and instinctively retreated two steps.

Mainly, David's gaze at that moment was too aggressive; it gave Attilicia the feeling he once had when Pafila had suddenly fixed her stare on him, scrutinizing him intensely...

David didn't explain much. He directly pulled out the Book of the Dragon—resembling the golden eye of a great dragon—from the Nirvana Pocket Watch on his Silver Scale Breastplate, casually flipped open a page, and pushed the panel displaying Attilicia's information in front of his dragon father.

"Take a look for yourself."

At first, Attilicia approached with curiosity, then he was surprised by the way his abilities were digitized on the panel. Just as he caught a glimpse of his alignment, he clutched his head as if his brain had crashed and screamed, "Chaotic Good! That's impossible!"

David almost rolled his eyes and finally understood a truth:

Pure white lotuses have no clue about their own level of deviousness. They may even believe themselves to be pure and harmless jasmine flowers.

And with this, he still believes in Tyr, the God of Justice?!

No wonder I had never seen him cast a single divine spell from the Hall of Justice. Tyr not striking down this scoundrel—who constantly took 'obvious shortcuts' to achieve his goals—with lightning on the spot was already merciful.

"What's impossible? Brother, check for me too." Seeing her dragon father starting to lose it again, Tania immediately pranced over and asked David to assess her as well.

David, unconcerned, 'glanced' at his dragon sister and finally saw what advanced occupation she had chosen:

Occupation: Magician 7/Mage 12/Element Master 4.

Level: 14

Strength 24, Dexterity 15, Constitution 26, Intelligence 27, Wisdom 23, Charisma 25

"Wait, you actually chose [Element Master]?!"

"Yeah! Brother, don't you think this occupation suits me?" Then, the Elemental Dragon Tania, looking at her own information, also clutched her face and screamed just like her dragon father, Attilicia, "Lawful Neutral! That's impossible! I've been so rebellious, how can I still be lawful? And why neutral? I, Tania, am clearly innocent and kind; I just occasionally punish evil... Brother David, your Book of the Dragon isn't very reliable."
