Chapter 831: Chapter 668: Oak City Beauty Pulling an All-Nighter
When Chun suddenly realized that the Dragon God’s Blessing had always been effective, he snapped back to his senses. The real purpose of the Dragon Race giving this reward was to let Uriel and his team go into the Void to recover the Dragon Soul. The purpose of the Black Dragon Lady’s modification of this Horn of the Cold Ice Dragon King for me was also to recover the Dragon Soul, but after I unexpectedly learned to be a Storm Druid, I intercepted it!
Intercepted it, so what now?
Return it? That’s impossible, right?
Does that mean, in the end, I have to offend the Dragon Race?
Or, just like with that title of Beelzebub, they’ll have to acknowledge me as the new family member, even if they have to hold their noses? That would be the ideal outcome for me, so I’ll go all in on this plan!
Now that Chun suddenly understood, he temporarily stopped fussing about studying Dragon Soul possession and continued to concentrate fully on his Dragon Language class.
And with the reward of "Dragon Language Mastery" from the Master’s Spiritual Perception, plus obtaining an additional point of wisdom, this class was pure joy, entering a virtuous cycle of learning without getting bored.
PM in the afternoon.
The teacher expressed his thoughts: "Everyone, this concludes the basic course. The noble aspect of the Dragon Language comes with special requirements for both listening and reading, which are limited by race and cannot be achieved by mere effort. So, whether a noble lady or one of you accompanying pupils, no matter how talented, you can only stop at the basic Dragon Language stage. This also means that some powerful Dragon Language spells are beyond your reach. However, even so, being able to understand the great texts of the Dragon Race is a huge elevation in your life... Class dismissed."
Ah, class is over? Indeed, no matter how smooth my screen of insights is, it’s still basic Dragon Language.
But, I’ve seen the Five Scattered People use Door Runes, which are Dragon Language, right? Runes can learn Dragon Language, right? Moreover, theoretically, after becoming a Dragon, that should solve the listening and reading difficulties so I can continue learning, right?
At this time, Nan stretched and closed her notebook, like a child impatiently leaving school once released.
Alright, I’ll ask her about her learning insights after we go back to the rental.
After returning to the rental, Nan immediately flopped onto the simple wooden bed, raised her hand to create a barrier that enveloped the whole room, and asked dully: "How did your learning go?"
Chun wrote: "Basic Dragon Language."
Nan mumbled: "Hmm, not bad, I also barely managed the basics. Is it enough? It can’t be helped if not, this Lizardman elder only gives this one lesson."
Holy Shit? I wanted to progress further!
Chun asked: "Why are there so many people accompanying the class?"
Nan snorted: "Don’t be fooled by the elder’s polite address to me; it’s actually out of respect for Grandmaster Bast. The elder is very arrogant, disdainful of teaching because he thinks others do not deserve to learn, let alone to teach just one person. So Bast came up with the idea of gathering a bunch of eager children, as strength lies in numbers, to petition him to teach. Anything else? If not, I’d like to sleep."
Forget it; I’ll just find the Dragon Mother or the Black Dragon daughter at the guild office to learn then.
Chun still asked another question: "Does the guild have any action planned next?"
Nan chuckled: "The vice-chairman is drunk and probably won’t wake up for a day, so even if there is action, it can’t be carried out. I’m enjoying this leisurely time."
Holy Shit? That’s good; as long as the Ten Lords stop causing trouble for a day, I have an extra day to intercept the Dragon Soul.
"You’ve worked hard, have a good rest."
"Well then, good morning..."
The Hua perspective closes.
Alright, continue collecting Dragon Souls. Because the more Dragon Souls the Divine Artifact collects, the better the summoning effect, Chun isn’t rushing to play with possession.
"Queen, can we continue?"
The Queen said: "I’m well-rested, and I deeply regret having delayed my master’s progress. I can’t wait to get back to work now."
Uh... Pua your excellent employee yourself?
...
Oak City, 5 AM.
Normally, Gabriel never stays up all night for skin care, and Liya, the City Beauty, has a disciplined schedule. But now, for the sake of the Nightmare War, Gabriel kept Liya company all night. And it was a lonely all-nighter; even Uriel, who always stayed up all night, was now sleeping like a dead pig.
At this moment, Liya was holding a Magic Crystal Screen for watching shows, but in fact, it was a Nightmare Tracking Device. Moreover, the device couldn’t track directly; it first needed Nurse Nabchuanxi to lay down defenses for two days, applying a kind of extremely expensive, stimulant-like mental stimulant mixed with "Spirit Metal" at key positions in wards where Nightmares might appear.
Spirit Metals are metals that can only appear in the Dream Realm, an important material for making Soul Artifacts.
As long as the Nightmare absorbs the Spirit Metal in the drug, it might be detected by this Magic Crystal Screen—of course, the detection is still inaccurate, and once detected, it must be a big fish.
If they really run into a big fish, they can only dispatch a Dream Angel. After all, Nightmares have no physical form and can’t be considered ghosts; they exist in a unique space known as the Nightmare Realm, which the magic attacks in the Elemental Plane cannot reach easily.
This first night, to avoid drawing the attention of the Nightmare Race, they only dispatched two Low Tier Dream Angels, and their main task was not combat, but further investigation of the routes frequented by the big fish. After all, Liya’s main goal was actually to capture the Demonic Puppet.
But even so—
The light indicating a big fish on Liya’s Magic Crystal Screen disappeared!
Gabriel’s fatigue vanished, incredulous: "Miss? Is this? Did we catch a big fish?"
Liya let out a long sigh of relief: "It wasn’t easy, we finally succeeded by taking advantage of the last moment before dawn when the opponent was eager to get off and let down their guard."
Not this!
Gabriel asked: "But we only dispatched two Low Tier Dream Angels. Did we take it down so easily?"
Liya laughed: "Because it was I who commanded it, can’t I?"
Thinking that the City Beauty is actually a Royal Family Princess, Gabriel found it had to be workable: "Miss is truly amazing."
Liya sighed: "Alright, everyone worked hard, I have never stayed up all night and still feel uncomfortable. Let’s pull back and rest; continue tonight."
Gabriel, sweating: "Okay."
At this time, patrol officers took to the streets, blowing whistles: "5 o’clock, work time! 5 o’clock, work time!"
Since the Bell Tower was destroyed, it probably won’t be repaired for several days. So the patrol officers have replaced it, waking up the "Five o’clock cattle and horses," to avoid the chaos of yesterday morning.
Seeing this group of 5 o’clock cattle and horses head to the streets once more, in an orderly manner, Gabriel felt genuinely comforted, lying directly in his seat to enter a sweet dreamland. Come to think of it, wasn’t something forgotten? Live broadcast of Chun’s injection? Ah, never mind, sleep...
...
Chun’s phone rang; it was Zhou Qing: "Brother Chun, are you busy? It’s dinner time."
"Okay, okay, I’m not busy right now."
Zhou Qing laughed: "And there’s good news; Moore has made further progress in Bronze City and successfully brought one person back into the Dragon Sleep Divine Hall."
Chun exclaimed: "Only one person?"
"Yes, the spatial rift is unstable; it suddenly expanded just enough to accommodate one person. That team member seized the moment to jump in, and then it shrank again. Others will have to wait."
Chun felt content: "Very well, brothers, keep up the effort."
But thinking about it, there’s still no progress in Oak City. This, more or less, is due to my poor leadership, isn’t it?
