Chapter 149 Elves, Have You Heard of the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor?_2
A Pureblood Thunder Dragon wishes to learn swordsmanship from Lance?
How exquisite must one's swordsmanship be to ignite interest in a Giant Dragon?
And even conceive the idea of learning from Lance?
If she remembers correctly, Lance learned the way of the sword intermittently under Reg.
When he was studying, Reg said... if Lance practiced seriously, he could become a great swordsman.
Great swordsman... could such swordsmanship attract a Pureblood Thunder Dragon?
Even if a thousand years have passed, and Lance's swordsmanship has gracefully ascended to the level of a swordsmanship grandmaster,
it still shouldn't incite the desire in a Pureblood Dragon to train with him, should it?
"Do you remember the Pureblood Black Dragon I mentioned that was wandering in the Human World?"
"Remember, what about it? Don't tell me... the day you left Saint Blue, that Black Dragon really ambushed you on the road... engaged you in battle, and even defeated you..."
"Right in front of you, I truly don't want to admit... that this Thunder Giant Dragon was defeated, and by a Black Dragon I looked down upon no less....
But if I don't even have the courage to face my defeat, it means my perspective is limited, and I'll never be fit to stand as an opponent to the Black Dragon.
I lost, so I want to get stronger, to avenge my previous disgrace. Human Viscount, the fact that you could send me and the Golden Giant Dragon Austin plummeting from the sky with a single sword strike shows your swordsmanship skill level... might be much stronger than I imagined.
I want to learn from you, and next time I see that Black Dragon, with the Sword Intent I have learned... strike him with a sword, and let him taste the power of the Sword Intent from the Ancestor of the Sword in the Human World."
"Cough... cough cough...."
The Young Dragon, who was drinking water, choked, so Erinna was learning swordsmanship from the Evil Dragon, intending to strike the Evil Dragon with the learned Sword Intent.
A student hitting their teacher?
Can they really win?
Erinna was quite candid, not only learning swordsmanship from the Evil Dragon but also revealing her purpose for learning.
Telling the Evil Dragon, will he still teach you wholeheartedly?
Erinna subconsciously raised her hand to pat the Young Dragon on the back, "Drink slowly, you can also learn more human skills in the future, oh right, you can learn Sword Intent from the Human Viscount.
The Black Dragon roaming the Human World is far more formidable than I had thought, his offspring... may also be more exceptional than we imagine. If the Black Dragon uses his own method of growth to raise his offspring, the Young Dragons of Dragon Island facing the children of the Black Dragon... might not necessarily win.
Little Dragon, you need to work even harder to become invincible among your peers and suppress the Black Dragon's offspring."
The Young Dragon nodded: "Don't worry, Sister Erinna, I'll work hard!"
Elina smiled and gently stroked the Young Dragon's head, although it wasn't a Pure Blood Young Dragon, the Young Dragon had a good human father. With his father's guidance and his own efforts, his future is promising.
If one day the Young Dragon evolves into a Pureblood Dragon, she will endeavor to persuade the Amethyst Giant Dragon Clan of Dragon Island to accept this Amethyst Young Dragon.
"So, you wish to learn swordsmanship... for vengeance, right?"
"You could say that."
"Then I cannot teach you."
"Why can't you teach me?"
"My path in swordsmanship is to exorcise demons, protect all beings under the heavens, and support the righteous path... If it's about vengeance... it's not suitable to learn from me."
Exorcise demons?
Protect all beings under the heavens?
Support the righteous path?
This is the work of brave heroes, champions of justice in the Human World, and the various holy temples. When did you, an Evil Dragon... have such an awakening?
In the context of the Evil Dragon, 'all beings under the heavens'... refers to Saint Blue.
To exorcise demons... he is nearly one himself.
As for supporting the righteous path... alas... the 'righteous path' he refers to is likely his 'Evil Dragon Path.'
Don't tell me... from Princess Lucia's perspective, these words of the Evil Dragon... unexpectedly made her feel somewhat impassioned.
Such a grand vision...
Note it down, note it down, write these words in the diary before sleeping tonight.
From now on, these words shall belong to Princess Lucia.
Surprise flickered in the vertical pupils of Thunder Giant Dragon Erinna. The Human Viscount had such an awakening?
She didn't see it coming, not at all.
Not so long ago, during her brief stay in Saint Blue, she had observed the Viscount's behavior—you could say he had no lofty ambitions, happy to merely get by, living each day as it came like a salted fish.
He didn't involve himself in the affairs of Saint Blue.
His life was leisurely; either fishing or basking in the sun asleep.
On a whim, he'd change into some bizarre garb, waving a stick with a sail attached, wandering the streets telling fortunes.
Like a charlatan cheating his own people out of their money.
It's hard to imagine such a human... possessing such noble aspirations.
His swordsmanship... is intended to protect all beings under the heavens.
It's meant... to support the righteous path.
It's aimed... to exorcise demons.
The Pureblood Dragons appreciate humans with such honorable character.
Especially the Gold Dragons, who adore such people, and if any other than the Golden Giant Dragon Austin were to meet this Human Viscount... they would likely consider forging a Dragon Knight pact with him.
"My choice of words was not precise just now. Vengeance... is not of the sort you imagine; we only settled the score, not life and death.
If I learn your swordsmanship, I might not be able to protect all beings under the heavens, but supporting the righteous path... I can do that. Don't forget, I have a pact with the War God Temple; when humans face danger, if I can, I will come to their aid.
Please consider seriously, I am earnest about learning swordsmanship from you. This Golden Greatsword is my gesture of goodwill.
As a human, you should understand what gold means to a Giant Dragon, not to mention that this Golden Greatsword is inlaid with nine core energy gems."
