"You now have Fire type power?" As Zheng Yichen and the fire dragon left the Land of Infernal Flas, the fire dragon was still carrying the head of the dark red fire dragon. Their next destination was a territory owned by the Dragon Tribe, and it wouldn’t take them long to get there given their speed.
In this world, the fire dragon’s normal flying speed far exceeds that of comrcial airliners, making many long distances seem not so distant anymore.
"I do," Zheng Yichen snapped his fingers, and a fla erged in his hand. The fire dragon smacked his lips as he looked at the fla, sensing a slight scent of fire dragon from it, but more so the scent of Hellfire, the kind that had been tainted with the aura of Hell.
"Your fla seems a bit abnormal. Are you sure it won’t bring you any additional influence?" Klakauska was slightly worried that the power of the fla might turn Zheng Yichen into a Hell creature.
Because Hellfire was imbued with the aura of Hell, it had a more lethal effect on life.
Zheng Yichen shook his head, "Hellfire has no effect on ; this is nothing."
Compared to Hellfire, the forr was like a mixed-blood fla, not purebred. Zheng Yichen pondered whether to use the Hellfire in his fishing rod to purify the Hellfire a bit more, or to find a way to remove the Hell aura from the Hellfire.
Being purer was better.
He thought for a mont, "I’ll find so normal Fire type creatures and neutralize it."
"Huh? This can be neutralized? Alright then, I’ll look for extra ones after we get to the Dragon Tribe’s territory. Let’s move quickly."
After speaking, the fire dragon flew forward in silence. Zheng Yichen’s displayed combat power had brought him a new shock, but what he cared about more was the Dragon Devour Secret Technique he had learned, which was unforgettable since it was conveyed through the Dragon Language.
The re Dragon Devour Secret Technique would have been fine if it were not used, as there would be no direct experience. However, the dead dragon head he was holding had transferred all of its insights to him before it died, much like a gourt describing the flavors of various fine foods with gorgeous and accurate language...
It was tempting, and he wanted to try it out to see if it was really as good as the other had said.
Zheng Yichen on the ground let Lilith maintain the autopilot mode while he stroked the white ball, feeling the feedback he had gained from absorbing the power of the dark red fire dragon. The dark red fire dragon’s physique had deviated due to the influence of Hell’s aura, so the feedback Zheng Yichen received while absorbing it was not what a pure fire dragon should give.
The fact that his conjured flas carried a hint of Hell’s aura was telling. However, that was just the fla having a bit of Hell’s aura. As for himself... it seed that he was sowhat affected too, but not significantly. It wouldn’t turn him into a Hell creature, but rather into soone who could conjure flas with a touch of Hell’s aura.
In fact, the Hell aura in Hellfire could be separated. The original attribute of the dark red fire dragon was that of fire, and its flas turned into Hellfire because its physique was influenced by Hellfire, leading to corruption by Hell’s aura.
The reason Zheng Yichen’s flas were Hellfire now was that he wasn’t proficient in this power yet. The flas and the power of Hell were too closely linked. Once he beca proficient, he would be able to separate them. Before he fully mastered it, finding more normal Fire type creatures to enhance the extra ’fire’ in his elents manipulation would also speed up the separation process.
What he said to Klakauska about neutralizing wasn’t exactly a bluff.
Cardanas, one of the Dragon Tribe’s territories on the continent, was a mixed type, housing dragons of all colors.
The Dragon Tribe was a high intelligence species in this world. In their territory, you wouldn’t see traces of barbarism or the marks that wild beasts leave. At most, due to aesthetic reasons, the domain of the Dragon Tribe looked different from human cities.
But to say it was chaotic would be wrong, even if the beings moving here were giant dragons in their dragon forms.
Apart from the dragons, you could also see many humans and other alien races from the world of magic.
As Klakauska descended from the sky, he drew the attention of a large number of dragons and humans, or rather, they were focused on the head that the fire dragon was carrying.
"Whoa! My kin, did you really take care of that traitor?" A fire dragon flew low to Klakauska’s side with a loud voice—dragons didn’t rely solely on their wings for flight; they also had the power of magic to sustain it.
So this low-flying did not kick up a lot of dust.
Klakauska glanced at Zheng Yichen and then shook his head quickly as he dropped the head onto the ground, "Ah... no, not , my friend did."
"Hmm?" The approaching fire dragon looked sowhat surprised, taking a careful glance at Klakauska with a complicated expression, "Right, with your strength, you would definitely have been finished off."
He had recognized Klakauska. In the Fire Dragon Tribe, Klakauska’s strength was considered average, perhaps slightly above. Not many dragons in the Fire Dragon Tribe knew him, but so of his experiences had made him sowhat known within the tribe.
His strength might not have been strong enough, but he was daring enough to challenge a Demigod at that ti. Although there was a reason for it, had it been another dragon, there was a real chance they would have chosen to swallow their pride. When they talk about that incident, they all feel it’s quite a pity.
However, that Demigod’s reputation beca tainted among the Dragon Tribe because of this, directly landing on the blacklist of all dragon clans. The Dragon Tribe has a special way of communicating that ensures every dragon knows each other’s deeds. If any dragon still has contact with that one, it’s as if they are from Earth before Zheng Yichen transmigrated.
There are clearly plenty of channels to inform people how dangerous so ’foreign lands’ are, and customs officers even give extra reminders and warnings when you want to go. But there’s always soone who defies the warnings and insists on going... In this world, so dragons still think about contacting that Demigod. Just respect their choice, then.
After listing them on the blacklist, it’s not like those diplomatic statents where so words can’t be explicitly said. Dragons still seek death anyway, what else can you do? Lock them up and monitor them in advance?
"..." My fellow clan mber, you really have a way with words. Klakauska looked at this clan mber with a sowhat speechless gaze. He hadn’t been helpful, but he had led the way!
The fire dragon seed not to notice Klakauska’s peculiar gaze and turned to Zheng Yichen. After a mont’s thought, he then asked Klakauska, "Is this friend of yours... a Dragon Slayer?"
It’s not impossible for the Dragon Tribe to be friends with Dragon Slayers. There have been quite a few such cases. Just as the Dragon Tribe might have their degenerates, Dragon Slayers are varied too. So target any dragon, but those kinds of slayers find it hard to get by.
Dragons are intelligent creatures who engage in cooperation and trade with rchant associations and so countries. They have mutual interests. The type of slayer who casually targets regular dragons is no different from a murderer, right?
Not only will the Dragon Tribe issue a warrant for them, but the human race will also issue warrants. Damaging soone’s financial path is akin to killing one’s parents. So rchant associations and countries are negotiating important deals with certain dragons, and then they’re suddenly inford that the relative of their business partner has been chopped down by a slayer, blowing up the entire deal...
That’s why those kinds of slayers find it difficult to get by. There’s another kind of slayer—similar to Bounty Hunters. They specifically target dragons that have been deed guilty. Bounty Hunters typically capture humanoid criminals, while Dragon Slayers are better suited to dealing with guilty dragons.
It’s a profession that could sustain one for a good half of their life with just one undertaking.
Of course, a qualified slayer would not just commit one cri and then idle away the rest of their life. They use the wealth they acquire to further enhance themselves and then look for the next target.
So, if you face a normal slayer and you’re not a dragon on the wanted list, generally speaking, the pressure isn’t that big.
"No, you can think of him as a very capable Bounty Hunter."
"A Bounty Hunter."
Klakauska’s clan mber showed a thoughtful expression, patted Klakauska on the shoulder, and then said to Zheng Yichen, "Ahem, I was a bit rude just now. You can call Bourg."
Zheng Yichen nodded, "I’m called Chang Qing."
Klakauska had told Zheng Yichen before that the na the fire dragon had given him was a normal one used for daily communication, without the need for a surna. The Dragon Tribe usually has nas in Dragon Language, which are innate and difficult to translate.
If it was forcibly translated...
Klakauska’s real na would be ’Kelis Lagriffeiz Delo Kotobaias Canier,’ and the fire dragon claid that this was the condensed version; in Dragon Language, it would just be the length of speaking a normal na.
That made Zheng Yichen completely give up on understanding Klakauska’s real na. He wasn’t a devil who enjoyed uncovering people’s true nas. Knowing how to address Klakauska was enough. As for those extrely long nas that took over a minute to recite, forget about it.
Like the shorter na this fire dragon referred to, but when it ca to their real na... it wouldn’t fall short of Klakauska’s.
"Follow , since you have dealt with such a traitor for our Dragon Tribe, we will also pay the corresponding reward truthfully." Bourg led Zheng Yichen to a massive building, casually pushing open the thick, heavy doors that were light for dragons.
A sowhat noisy atmosphere burst forth from the building, filled with dragons and other humanoid races. It struck Zheng Yichen that this place was most likely a rcenary Guild of so sort.
"Is this the rcenary Guild?"
"Of course, it is," Bourg looked curiously at Zheng Yichen, then glanced at Klakauska, sohow surprised that this renowned mber of the Fire Dragon Tribe had found soone who seed unclear about such basic knowledge.
"Ahem, he used to live in the mountains, not much exposed to information about the outside world," Klakauska cleared his throat and quietly explained to Bourg.
"?" Bourg’s expression appeared sowhat peculiar to the dragon’s eye, mountains? That must be so secluded region, right? The problem is, those who usually live in such places tend to be non-human from alien races, and Zheng Yichen didn’t look like any kind of alien race.
