“Do you want me to go to Thorn Isle to meet the Hell Empress? Do you know the noble and powerful Hell Empress?”
Blue Dragon Guli Tia was very excited and hurriedly asked the golden hatchling dragon in front of her.
Her words interrupted Saga’s contemplation of his mama’s boy dragon life.
“Let’s forget it. I already have my own territory, and even if the Red Dragoness is powerful, she can’t protect me forever. I, Saga, am destined to become a True Dragon, an emperor among dragons. How can I always be a mama’s boy dragon?”
Saga thought to himself.
However, he still needed to make a trip to Thorn Isle to establish a way to keep in touch with the Red Dragoness. That way, if he ever encountered an enemy he truly couldn’t handle, he might be able to call out for mom directly!
“Cough cough, just a little help from dragon mother in a critical moment shouldn’t count as being a mama’s boy dragon, right?”
The golden hatchling dragon blinked: “Hmm, definitely not. Just like how I used the Golden Dragonfather’s Golden Radiance Ring Shield to deal with the threat brought by the demon warlock, it was a last resort, something I didn’t want to use unless absolutely necessary.”
Saga shamelessly thought to himself, possessing both mama’s boy and papa’s boy traits.
Immediately after, the golden hatchling dragon looked towards Blue Dragon Guli Tia with an indifferent expression and said:
“Of course, and it’s not just knowing her.”
“When you get to Thorn Isle, just mention my name, and the Hell Empress will surely meet you in person.”
Hearing Saga’s words, Blue Dragon Guli Tia’s breathing suddenly became heavy.
Her tail moved swiftly, her eyes glazed over, and she screamed in her heart: “Ahh, I can actually meet the noble and powerful Hell Empress! The one who single-handedly destroyed kingdoms and even had the Dragon God smooth out an empire’s expedition against her, what kind of legendary True Dragon is she?”
“I’m so excited, so excited! Ah, I really want to be a follower of the Hell Empress, surely there will be great achievements following her! Even if I don’t get a single gold coin as a reward, I’m willing.”
The golden hatchling dragon’s expression became strange.
He felt Guli Tia’s excited emotional fluctuations and also heard her inner voice.
“Why do I feel this silly Blue Dragon admires the ‘Hell Empress’ more than me, the mysterious and legendary ‘Ancient Dragon’?”
Saga felt a slight displeasure.
Blue Dragon lifted her head, looking at the expressionless golden hatchling dragon, and muttered in her heart: “It must be very powerful too, it’s just… its personality is too weird. What kind of Ancient Dragon would want to pretend to be a little hatchling and play a growth game like playing house?”
Compared to the legendary Ancient Dragon image concocted by the Blue Dragon’s imagination, the Hell Empress indeed fits the aesthetic of the chromatic dragons better and is more likely to garner their worship.
Meanwhile, Saga’s displeasure dissipated quickly.
His fluctuating emotions stabilized in an instant.
“After all, I’m not a real legendary Ancient Dragon, and I can’t compare to the Red Dragoness, there’s nothing to be displeased about.”
“The Red Dragoness has excellent talent too, but it’s definitely not as good as mine. My future is promising, and the Red Dragoness is already nearing her limit. Without special opportunities, her progress won’t be fast, and she will definitely be surpassed by me, sooner or later.”
Comparing himself with the powerful Red Dragoness, Little Saga now focused on a promising future.
“It’s obvious you’re quite excited.”
Saga said to the Blue Dragon: “Since that’s the case, you should head straight to Thorn Isle. You must be eager to go.”
The Blue Dragon nodded vigorously and said:
“If it were somewhere else, I might want to rest in Moon Bay for a few days before going, especially since I just returned from the Greyrock Archipelago. But to meet the Hell Empress who rules Thorn Isle, hehe, that’s a different story.”
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
While speaking, the Blue Dragon had already started flapping her wings, stirring up a gust of wind.
“Go ahead.”
Saga said quietly.
With a powerful flap of her wings, the Blue Dragon soared into the sky, flying towards Thorn Isle with excitement.
Watching the Blue Dragon disappear into the distance, Saga’s gaze withdrew from her, pondering:
“The situation in the Greyrock Archipelago, I can’t just take Guli Tia’s word for it.”
“She doesn’t seem very smart. What if I take my battle-ready followers there and find out there’s important information detrimental to me that was omitted? That wouldn’t be good.”
“To be safe, I need to go there myself.”
Letting Guli Tia go to the Greyrock Archipelago first wasn’t useless; at least it preliminarily clarified the situation there and the attitude of the Topaz Dragon towards negotiation and psychic abilities. Saga’s personal visit to the Topaz Dragon would save him a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Saga planned to use the Greyrock Archipelago as his transit point to get close to the Yar Continent.
But whether it was suitable or not, he couldn’t be completely sure yet.
So Saga decided to go and see for himself, to weigh and consider.
At that moment, Saga’s gaze shifted slightly, and he looked down at the ground around the Gem Peak.
In Saga’s view, a necromancer that resembled a human-headed spider was huffing and puffing as it dug through the soil and rocks until a white, gnawed bone emerged.
With several bony hands, the necromancer struggled to pull the bone buried in the ground out.
This was a bone several meters long, with a certain curvature, completely devoid of flesh, and looking at it, Saga felt it was somewhat familiar.
After thinking for a few seconds, he revealed an enlightened expression:
“Isn’t this a Tremorboar bone? What is Addison doing?”
The golden hatchling dragon soared into the air, circled around, and with a gust of wind, dove towards the necromancer’s location.
Whoosh!
With a light flap of his wings, he swept away the dust and leaves stirred up by his landing.
Saga looked down at the demon warlock.
The warlock’s skull lifted, meeting the hatchling dragon’s golden eyes. Without waiting for Saga to ask, upon seeing Saga’s inquisitive look, Addison cackled a few times and explained his actions to Saga, saying:
“My lord, I am collecting the bones of the Tremorboar.”
“If the bones of this high-level magical creature are simply buried underground, that would be such a waste.”
“Once I’ve collected its bones and used some other creatures’ bones to fill in the missing parts, I’ll try to construct a complete Tremorboar skeleton. Cackle, it should at least be able to exert the strength of a sixth-tier creature, and it won’t fear death. Once I recover a bit more and cast some strengthening spells on it, reaching its former high-tier seventh-tier strength is not impossible.”
If it weren’t for the electromagnetic slave mark, it wouldn’t be so willing to exhaust its power to contribute to Saga’s rule. Even if it were to resurrect the Tremorboar skeleton, it would definitely do so stealthily, keeping it as a trump card, rather than openly telling Saga.
Tremorboar skeleton.
Not bad, it entertained me a lot while alive, and its body served as my food. Now that it’s dead, it will be transformed into a skeleton to serve me.
Saga’s gaze narrowed slightly, showing encouragement, and he cheerfully said to the demon warlock:
“Well done, you can take some shark-tigers, slimes, or lamprey fishmen to help you collect the Tremorboar bones and construct the skeleton as soon as possible.”
Hearing Saga’s praise.
A sense of pleasure involuntarily surged in the warlock’s heart, one that it barely noticed.
It nodded, then hesitated for a moment, saying:
“My abilities are limited right now. Although I have good bone materials, transforming the Tremorboar skeleton will probably take a lot of time, and it won’t be completed quickly. To cast the skeleton transformation spell on such bones, it will consume a lot of magic power.”
Saga waved his dragon claw, smiling slightly, and said to the demon warlock:
“Don’t rush, just go at your own pace. You also need a certain amount of magic power to recover yourself, don’t work too hard.”
Thinking so considerately for me. The warlock’s heart warmed again.
It couldn’t help but imagine, if it had met this True Dragon much earlier and followed it all along, witnessing its growth step by step to an inconceivable extent, what an interesting experience that would have been.
But now, it wasn’t too late.
Although he controlled my soul, he didn’t force me to do things, and his attitude towards me was quite good. Considering the Red Dragon’s nasty nature, this was really rare, and it was indeed a good choice to serve him well. Hmm, he’s just a hatchling now, with limitless potential, a promising future. But at this stage, he really needs strength. I should first postpone my own recovery, concentrate my magic power and spirit to bring out the Tremorboar skeleton, and add a helping hand to him—Addison pondered in his heart.
The other party’s thoughts were fully displayed in Saga’s mind.
“He’s already starting to consider for me, his master, with priority over himself. The electromagnetic slave mark, this skill is really good. I can study it further in the future and increase the upper limit of the electromagnetic slave mark.”
Saga touched the keratin layer on his chin, thinking to himself.
After instructing Black Shark to gather some hands to assist the demon warlock in collecting and constructing the Tremorboar skeleton, Saga flew back to the top of Gem Peak and watched the progress of his followers and lamprey fishmen slaves mining the gem mine.
Now, two mining tunnels had been opened.
Many lamprey fishmen and slimes were going in and out of the mine, carrying the excavated rocks. In Saga’s force field perception, the arcs outlining the mining tunnels were getting closer and closer to the location of the gem mine. It wouldn’t be long before the magic gems inside would be at Saga’s disposal.
Thinking of this, Saga’s eyes narrowed with pleasure.
“With such progress, by the time I make a trip to the Greyrock Archipelago and come back, the magic gems should have been successfully mined.”
Then, after instructing his followers to mine the gem well and guard Moon Bay.
The golden hatchling dragon flew from the sky, snatched two flower sheep from Waxing Crescent Island to eat, and then headed towards the Greyrock Archipelago, near the Yar Continent.
