Death Knight: ………

After a brief silence, it spoke in a deep voice, “Thank you, Your Highness Saga.”

For a dragon who loved money more than life, allowing even a copper coin to be given up was a rare thing.

The Death Knight’s gaze swept discreetly around, then it stared at Saga.

“Your Highness Saga, did you come alone?”

The blue soul fire flickered in its eye sockets.

In the silence of the undead ruins, the Death Knight asked in a low voice.

Not far in front of the Death Knight, Saga’s golden pupils suddenly became sharp and cold. A young but clearly present dragon’s aura burst forth from Saga, pushing away the black snow on the ground in a circle.

With narrowed eyes, Saga calmly said, “You can guess.”

The Death Knight slowly said, “I think Your Highness Saga must have come alone to the undead ruins.”

Speaking, its face hidden under the steel helmet showed no expression.

But its words carried a hidden malice.

As a true dragon with keen perception, Saga sensed this trace of malice.

Saga chuckled, his golden eyes narrowing, and said, “Are you so concerned about whether I came alone because you have ulterior motives against me?”

Alfred stood still like a sculpture. After a brief silence, he said, “Your Highness Saga, you’re joking.”

Saga flicked his tail impatiently and said, “Enough nonsense, bring the taxes.”

After a moment.

Twelve square boxes were carried out by undead creatures.

They looked like old wooden boxes with a layer of rusty copper strips on the edges.

Creak… The Death Knight drew out its greatsword and opened each box one by one.

Instantly, golden and silver coins, shiny gold and silver, and many precious gems and pearls reflected in Saga’s pupils.

The hatchling dragon’s breathing became heavy.

“It would be great if all these treasures were mine.”

Saga licked the drool from the corner of his mouth and approached the treasure chests. He picked up some round pearls, gold coins, and silver coins.

Taking out a copper coin from his own scales, Saga threw it to the Death Knight.

“There, I keep my word. If I said I would give you one less copper coin, then I give you one less copper coin.”

The Death Knight reached out and accurately caught the copper coin in its palm, remaining silent.

After collecting the taxes, Saga shook his dragon wings and prepared to take off.

But at that moment.

Crackling sounds, faintly familiar sounds of bone friction, came from behind Saga.

The Death Knight and the surrounding high-level undead all looked towards Saga.

Saga turned his head and saw a small, weak-looking skeleton taking unsteady steps.

“Huh?”

“How can this mindless skeleton enter the depths of the undead ruins?”

The Death Knight was somewhat surprised.

The place where these high-level undead stayed was protected by a magic array that repelled low-level skeletons from approaching and causing disturbances. Mindless skeletons outside the ruins couldn’t enter the depths.

Saga recognized the small skeleton in his field of vision.

It was the one that had been cut in half before and had been trying to attack Saga. But now it had put its body back together and regained its lower half.

Under the gaze of Saga and the other undead, the small skeleton approached Saga, defying the pressure from the high-level undead.

Saga: ………………

“I’ve never seen such a persistent pile of bones before. Interesting.”

“Since you like chasing after me, then come with me and be my chew toy.”

The hatchling dragon extended its tail and skillfully lifted the small skeleton into the air, swaying it left and right. Curiously observing, during this time, the small skeleton struggled incessantly, its bones clashing together, showing its teeth and claws. It seemed to want to hit Saga’s head, but it was futile.

Saga found the small skeleton quite interesting and thought it could be a good toy for entertainment.

Turning his head to the Death Knight, Saga said, “I’ll take this skeleton. Do you have any objections?”

The arrogance of a true dragon was already beginning to show in the hatchling dragon.

The Death Knight calmly nodded and said, “It’s just a mindless skeleton, Your Highness, please feel free.”

It might have some potential, but the Death Knight didn’t care.

Before leaving, Saga’s gaze flickered slightly, and he asked the Death Knight, “In your undead system, how can a mindless skeleton level up most efficiently?”

“Naturally… by feeding on the souls of living beings.”

The Death Knight’s words were simple and chilling.

After a pause, the Death Knight continued to the small skeleton, “Your Highness Saga, please give my regards to the Crimson Flame Empress.”

Without responding to the Death Knight, Saga lifted the small skeleton, which was still struggling with its teeth and claws, and left the undead ruins unhurriedly. Then he flew towards the next destination.

At the same time.

The Death Knight watched the departing figure of the hatchling dragon, took a deep look, and slowly disappeared into the gray mist of death aura, retreating into the interior of the damaged spire.

Inside the spire.

The Death Knight sat on the seat made of steel, and in the pair of eyes under the face mask, the soul fire flickered intensely.

As if speaking to himself.

He asked someone he didn’t know, “Addison, were you trying to harm the dragon child of the Crimson Flame Empress just now? Aren’t you afraid of being swallowed alive by the Mother Dragon?”

Just as he finished speaking.The Death Knight’s deep voice became somewhat shrill, his tone as if he had become a different person, he muttered to himself: “Hehehe, a hatchling dragon will always have to leave the mother dragon’s nest, to live independently outside of her protection.”

“When that time comes, you just need to follow, assist me in obtaining the infinitely potential body of a giant dragon with my soul-stealing spell, and your tormented soul can be free.”

“Hehehe, hehehehe, hehehehehehehehehe…”

The eerie laughter lingered for a long time.

Addison.

If this name were to be heard by some residents who understood the history of Thorn Isle, they would definitely show a face full of shock, falling into deep fear.

The reason is simple.

The name Addison belonged to a necromancer who ravaged Thorn Isle five hundred years ago, almost annihilating the island’s inhabitants with his cruel experiments.

He was infamous, unpredictable, very good at cursing, liked to study souls and bodies, toyed with people’s hearts, enjoyed others’ pain for his amusement, and was known as the Demon Warlock.

Demon Warlock Addison, before coming to Thorn Isle, already had quite a reputation on the Clair Continent, of course, it was all bad reputation, he was regarded as a terrifying figure belonging to the chaotic evil camp.

What made the Demon Warlock notorious was his malicious curse on a kingdom’s warrior.

A novice adventurer, who ventured alone into the evil dragon’s nest, successfully slayed the dragon, decapitating an adult green dragon, was regarded as a dragon-slaying hero, with countless praises and honors bestowed upon him. The hero, with his fame and the treasures of the dragon’s nest, married a princess of a small country, his life was very blissful, but he became increasingly arrogant, spending his days thinking about executing justice and eliminating evil.

This dragon-slaying hero, whose head was dizzy with honor, noticed the wicked Addison.

He pursued Addison time and time again, causing Addison some trouble.

In the end, the cunning and crafty Addison defeated the young dragon-slaying hero, but he did not kill him, instead, he maliciously and insidiously cursed him and his close family members.

Under Addison’s curse.

The souls of the hero’s wife and mother were swapped, the hero himself seemed fine on the surface, but if the curse was not lifted, the three of them would die miserably within ten days.

At the same time, Addison publicly revealed the way to break the curse.

The method was simple.

In a conscious state, as long as the hero slept with the person whose soul had been transferred for ten consecutive days, the curse could be lifted, and none of the three would be harmed.

One was his mother’s body with the soul of his beloved.

The other was his beloved’s body with the soul of his mother.

Only a cunning and deceitful demon could conceive such a malicious and evil curse, hence, Addison earned the title of Demon Warlock, and his fame skyrocketed.

As for the cursed hero…………. his beloved and mother were both safe and sound.

As for what choice he made, no one knows.

Now, such a Demon Warlock was secretly targeting the tender hatchling dragon Saga, with ill intentions.
