This Giant Dragon is So Powerful!

Chapter 155 - 19: Changed Nature; Green Dragon’s Nest (First Day of the Ten Thousand a Day)

The next day.

Inside the mine cave, Brook discovered that Heloise was missing.

"Really gone?" Brook was slightly stunned, a bit surprised at Heloise’s speed of action.

....

Black Castle.

Udi, waking from the Banquet’s slumber, once again heard the loud noise coming from the plaza outside.

After listening for a moment, Udi shook his head; it was Heloise and the others again.

He originally didn’t want to bother with it, planning to go cultivate magic at the Dragon Pool — all of Udi’s treasure was in the Dragon Pool, and as a Black Dragon associated with water, training there was most comfortable.

Black Castle was merely a place for the Banquet to sleep and eat.

But although Udi didn’t want to bother, this time was unlike the previous occasions.

Soon, the Maid Chief Sofia found him to report.

"Lord Heloise wishes to speak with you," Sofia said somewhat helplessly. If the two Little Black Dragons were causing trouble and trying to settle in Black Castle, she had the authority to drive them away, but this time they weren’t causing trouble. Instead, they were waiting patiently outside, hoping to talk with the master, so... Sofia had no choice but to convey the message.

She understood; after all, Heloise and Brook were the master’s younger siblings in some sense. To a certain extent, they were closer than anyone else in the entire Dragon Nest.

Otherwise, why give them a precious magic ore vein to mine? Don’t they know what happens if two Evil Dragons are allowed into a magic ore vein?

It’s likely that the amount of magic ore mined is less than what they consume or secretly stash away.

As the Grand Steward, Shiji turned a blind eye to this because they were the master’s siblings, after all. Giving them a little extra was considered normal. Besides, this magic ore vein was just a low-quality small vein, and in the current ranking of veins controlled by the Dragon Nest by their rarity, it didn’t even make the top ten.

"Wants to speak with me? They’re not causing trouble? No, why didn’t Brook come this time..." Udi wondered, thought for a moment, and then decided to meet with Heloise after all.

Dragon Pool, center.

Atop a flat-topped Treasure Mountain formed by a pile of treasures including gold coins, silver coins, magic crystals, magic ore, magic cores, magic metal, etc., a Black Giant Dragon lay.

The majority of this vast treasure was acquired from the Dark Forest. The magic cores obtained from hunting demons, the ores, metals, and crystals mined by Kobolds — only less than ten percent of the gold and silver coins and crystals came from the tribute of the Higlind family.

In terms of resources, the unexploited resources from the Dark Forest by many Intelligent Races are indeed richer compared to humans.

When Heloise followed the Dragon-blooded Maid to the Dragon Pool, her dragon eyes were immediately drawn to the central area shining with Elemental Spiritual Light, and she almost started drooling.

"So much treasure, Mother’s treasure isn’t even one percent of this, right?" Heloise said, greedy and shocked.

Of course, Heloise didn’t know that her mother was already ruling over a part of the Wasteland, and the dragon’s hoard had expanded more than tenfold. Among dragons of the same age, she could definitely be considered a wealthy dragon. Well, originally quite poor.

Heloise eagerly flew to the center of the Dragon Pool.

Once she got closer, her attention shifted away from the treasure. There was no choice; the shadow cast by the Black Giant Dragon brought a powerful sense of pressure to Heloise.

"Heloise, what do you want?"

The Black Giant Dragon opened its eyes, looking at the Little Black Dragon in front of it.

A Black Dragon over six meters long wasn’t actually small. Even without counting the tail, its volume was like two large water buffaloes.

But in front of the Black Giant Dragon, a creature of such size appeared tiny, not even larger than one of the former’s dragon heads.

"I... I..." At this moment, Heloise stammered, flustered, struggled for a long time, her brain almost boiling, and in the end, she didn’t know what she had said before leaving with Sofia in a confused state.

On the treasure of the Dragon Pool, watching Heloise leave, Udi couldn’t help but mutter, "Do what as my maid...?"

Yes, ultimately, Heloise didn’t say those eight words.

Evil Dragons often have very low levels of shame, but it’s not something that can’t be changed through nurture.

Heloise and Brook, the two Little Dragons, are typical examples. They’ve lived in the Dragon Nest for six or seven years and inevitably have been influenced by Udi and the monsters under his command.

What kind of influence?

Relative order, relative fairness, relative harmony, as well as effort, loyalty, dedication, and reflection.

Although the two Little Evil Dragons can still be called evil in character, they can still kill living creatures and seize treasures without guilt. However, they’ve become more principled.

At the very least, they won’t snatch the treasures of the Dragon Nest monsters, and when sparring with the Monster Warriors to hone their skills, they won’t hold grudges after being defeated and ambush them on the road to kill them. — If they were pure Evil Dragons, they’d definitely do such things, as they simply cannot tolerate the humiliation of being defeated by a lower race.

Furthermore, the two Little Dragons have learned what it means to be humble before the strong. When encountering Shiji, Mondo, White Crane, Bryan, Griffin, and other strong beings, they’ll become polite, at least in tone, rather than being arrogant and haughty.

Of course, the pride inherent in the True Dragon still remains rooted in their bloodline; this will not change.

Over the years, under such influence, Heloise and Brook’s character and principles have subtly changed without them realizing it.
