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

Chapter 212: Chapter 161: The Lost Golden City, Have You Heard of It, Old Master Lance?_2

Lance gave out 26 red envelopes with a pained expression on his face.

Together with the red envelope distributed by Meredith, that made a total of 27.

27 Gold Coins were gone.

“Don’t just focus on grabbing red envelopes, take a look at the Extraordinary Elixir that this old man has newly developed. These Extraordinary Elixirs are quite effective. You guys go on missions often, buy a bottle for self-protection… I… damn it… who’s the shameless thief that swiped the Extraordinary Elixirs I put out on the stall?”

The dozens of Extraordinary Elixirs that had been on display at the stall were reduced to a lone few in the blink of an eye.

He was so angry, he could feel his nose becoming crooked.

Was someone really taking advantage of the first day of the New Year to raid this old man?

After taking the red envelopes, they even swiped the Extraordinary Elixirs he had prepared…

“I’m telling you guys…”

The members of the Bronze Bounty Guild surrounding the cabin scattered at once, maneuvering over to the stall where the Young Dragon was selling sweets and cakes, “Prince Dragon, we’ve heard from Bazel, Dalton, Louis, that old man Lance has been raising you like a daughter.

It’s our first meeting, and we’ve brought gifts for you. Here… this Fire Bird feather is for you. It’ll keep you warm as toast if you tuck it into your clothes during winter.”

“Thank you, and Happy New Year.” The Young Dragon took the red feather and stored it in its lucky Spatial Ring.

“Ah, why are you wishing me a Happy New Year too? You’ve already wished me that… I need to give you another red envelope, little dragon.”

The tall middle-aged man handed an unwarmed red envelope to the little dragon.

“Happy New Year, little dragon. This here is a phonograph that Alchemical City recently developed. You can listen to songs and music with it. It’s a gift for you. And here, a red envelope from your sister too.”

“Thank you, sister. Happy New Year.”

Every member of the Bronze Bounty Guild who came to Saint Blue had brought a gift for the Young Dragon, which, although not valuable, held a lot of sentimental value.

The red envelopes sent out by the Evil Dragon, she managed to get them back.

Shouldn’t she give something in return?

Might as well invite these brothers, sisters, and uncles for a barbecue she would cook in the evening.

These guys…

At least they had the conscience to prepare New Year’s gifts for the Dragon Whelp.

“Old man, this is the money we borrowed from you.”

Louis handed a money pouch to Lance, which contained two hundred Gold Coins, the money they had borrowed in Lionheart City last year.

Lance took the money pouch, withdrawing thirty Gold Coins from it and handing them to Louis.

“This is your salary for minding the stall, ten Gold Coins each for the three of you.”

“Old man… You’re really kind.”

Louis quickly pocketed the thirty Gold Coins. One mustn’t stand on ceremony with Old Man Lance. If you did… he’d really take those thirty Gold Coins back.

Once Old Man Lance gives something, that settles it.

Never stand on ceremony with the old man.

“Did you time your arrival in Saint Blue for a visit?”

“No, we timed it to pay our New Year’s respects to you, old man.”

“These Extraordinary Elixirs on the stall, take them. Before you drink them, make sure to check the precautions.”

“This is quite embarrassing.”

Louis swept up the few remaining bottles of Extraordinary Elixir on the stall.

Old Man Lance’s newly concocted Extraordinary Elixirs weren’t something to drink carelessly, but the Extraordinary Elixirs meant for sale could be consumed with confidence.

The effects were stable, and the side effects minimal.

“Did you just arrive in Saint Blue today?”

“Mm, we arrived in Saint Blue this morning. We asked around about you among the citizens of Saint Blue, and we didn’t expect… you hold a place in their hearts comparable to a deity.

And we also heard that the Dragon God Temple you built has even gained the recognition of the Dragon God, and even a Divine Presence Phenomenon like a Divine Miracle appeared.

Old man, you’ve got guts, daring to build a Dragon God Temple in the Human World. So far… the only place I’ve visited that has a Dragon God Temple is Saint Blue.

Oh right, I’ve also noticed that aside from the Dragon God Temple… there are no other temples in Saint Blue. Old man, this is quite strange. Under normal circumstances, in a bustling metropolis like Saint Blue, there should be a Temple of Light,

Even if there were no Temple of Light, there should be temples like those of the War God, the Goddess of Wisdom, the Goddess of Life, the Agriculture Goddess, and so on…”

Unfortunately, these temples don’t exist, the only one is the new Dragon God Temple built by your lordship. I mean… Lord, your subjects in Saint Blue… their deity of faith… can’t just be the Dragon God, can it?”

Not just the Dragon God.

There’s also [Lord Sub-county].

The members of the Bronze Bounty Guild believe that [Lord Sub-county] is the true faith of the citizens of Saint Blue City.

Impressive, huh.

Since they just arrived today, they haven’t visited the other cities around the Holy Blue Province. If the citizens of the other cities are like those of Saint Blue City…

Then, Lord, after you die… You have a definite chance of becoming a heroic spirit.

Even if you can’t become a heroic spirit, you’re absolutely going to be a VIP in heaven.

I’m envious.

You, my Lord, have already obtained the ticket to heaven in advance.

“I don’t know, I don’t interfere with my subjects’ faith, nor do I have the qualification to do so.”

“Lord, actually, I think… you seem to be the real faith of Saint Blue.”

“Respect and faith are two different concepts.”

“Hehe, whatever you say, Lord.”

Rabbit-eared Meredith doesn’t really care about the stature of Lord Lance in the hearts of Saint Blue’s citizens.

After all, in the hearts of the members of the Bronze Bounty Guild, Lord Lance will always be that one who likes to experiment with drugs on them without a second thought.

This visit to Saint Blue was not only to see the Lord but also for other matters.

“Interested in opening a branch here in Saint Blue?”

“No problem, this is the Lord’s territory. Opening a branch here, the Lord will definitely take care of us, might even grant us tax exemption.”@@novelbin@@

“No taxes for fifteen years.”

After all, we’re family, and as I have the authority, I naturally want to take care of you.

“Lord, nothing more to say, I’ll have the Guildmaster bow to you when I get back.”

“…”

Lance patted Rabbit-eared Meredith’s ear not too gently or too harshly: “How long are you planning to stay in Saint Blue? There are so many people… Have you found a place to stay? If not… I’ll have Tixia find you lodgings later.”

“We haven’t found a place to stay yet. As for how long we will be in Saint Blue, it shouldn’t be for too many days. This time we took on a bounty mission, and it seems that the bounty mission we accepted is just one part of a whole.”

Aside from our Bronze Bounty Guild, it seems that a few other powerful bounty guilds have also taken on this mission.”

“???”

A cooperative type bounty mission?

Such missions are rare, and when they do appear, it means that the mission’s difficulty level is at a [Death] grade.

“Talk about it, let me judge for you, see if you can complete this bounty mission.”

“Bounty Mission: [The Thousand-Year Sleeping Golden City], our task is to clear the monsters on the outskirts of the Golden City and pave the way to the [Golden City]. Lord, have you heard of the [Golden City]?”

“First time hearing about it, is this [The Thousand-Year Sleeping Golden City]… really constructed out of gold?”

Rabbit-eared Meredith shook her head: “Not sure, but the bounty mission mentioned that the Golden City was built with the full might of a kingdom over two thousand years ago, a great portion of gold and treasures came from a corrupt official who brought calamity to the nation.

The blueprint of the Golden City was also drawn by that corrupt official. After his death, the king put all the gold and treasures embezzled by the corrupt official into the national treasury.

Then he ordered the construction of the Golden City in secret. The bounty mission reveals only so much information for now.

However, through communication with several other bounty guilds, we have gathered some more information… This Golden City buried underground for over two thousand years, on its outskirts and the center… are inhabited by a large number of evil spirits, ghosts, and goblins, and even the legendary cursed soldiers exist there.

These aren’t ordinary cursed soldiers, but cursed soldiers clad in golden armor. A sage from a bounty guild speculates… that the so-called Golden City might be a golden tomb existing for over two thousand years.

And the master of this golden tomb… is the king of that kingdom from two thousand years ago.”

Building the golden tomb with treasures half coming from a corrupt official?

Tsk, tsk.

What a corrupt dog official.

Even more grabby than when he was an official…
