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

```

"One of the underground passages is in this area. There it is, that stout willow tree ahead is a teleportation point. Once we step within five meters of the willow tree, we will be teleported to the entrance of the underground."

"Let's check our equipment again, confirm the number of members, and start the roll call. I'll go first. Bronze Guild receptionist Meredith, race: Rabbit Folk."

"Bronze Guild member Louis, race: Human..."

"Bronze Guild member Bazel, race: Human..."

"Bronze Guild..."

Old man Lance once said that when guild members go out on a mission, before entering the mission location, they should count their numbers and have their teammates check in to prevent any strange things from mixing in.

The members of the Bronze Guild used to think that the old man Lance was making a fuss over nothing. After suffering a big loss from this kind of oversight once, tallying the numbers and checking in became an iron-clad rule whenever the Bronze Guild members went out on a mission.

It's better to be a bit troubled than to carelessly allow some terrifying creatures to take advantage by slipping in.

"27 members accounted for, no discrepancies. We're good to go. Prepare to enter the underground through the willow tree's Teleportation Array. Get ready for battle."

After giving one last instruction, the bunny-eared Meredith took the lead walking towards the willow tree, with Louis, Bazel, and Dalton trailing behind in the rear of the group. Their strength was second only to Meredith's; they stayed at the back so they could respond immediately if danger arose.

The members of the Bronze Bounty Guild collectively gathered under the willow tree, making no unnecessary movements. The willow's branches emitted a crystal-clear light, and the next moment, a deep-blue Array light soared into the sky.

As the light faded, the members of the Bronze Bounty Guild disappeared along with it.

...... Meanwhile, on Black Dragon Island.

The young dragon, back to its original size, lay sprawled out sunbathing, watching four projections floating in mid-air.

The screens of the four projection screens turned black simultaneously, and a look of concern appeared in her purple-golden vertical pupils.

The members of the Bronze Bounty Guild had been transported to the underground world. Had they encountered those dreadful dark creatures from legends as soon as they appeared in the underground world?

For instance, ghouls, gargoyles, human-faced ghost spiders, and other monsters.

It's funny to think that the members of the Bronze Guild are mischievous enough to dare to touch Evil Dragon's stuff.

A spray bottle.

A shovel.

An axe.

Should she tell Evil Dragon Lance about the items he lost which are now with those three Bronze Guild uncles?

She glanced over at Evil Dragon Lance.

Evil Dragon Lance was on the beach, seemingly in conversation with the squid girl. Rather, the squid girl kept talking to Evil Dragon Lance about something...

Evil Dragon Lance mentioned that if the Bronze Bounty Guild members faced any danger, to call out to him.

The projection screens no longer showed the members of the Bronze Bounty Guild. Should she call out to Evil Dragon Lance?

Let's wait a bit longer...

Let's wait until the members of the Bronze Guild reappear on the screens before deciding to call out to Evil Dragon Lance.

Evil Dragon Lance indeed has a lot of nice things on him. It's impressive he can see sceneries from who knows how many miles away. The four essence tools he gave to the members of the Bronze Guild must be legendary-grade essence tools.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...

After a sizzling sound of electricity, the four projection screens lit up again.

Eh?

Where is this?

...

"Where is this?"

The members of the Bronze Bounty Guild, seeing the environment they were in, also asked themselves the same question.

```

The moment there was light, they immediately took up an attack stance, with a few members even taking out bottles of Lance's upgraded "Three-minute War God" potions.

But what met their eyes was not a world of monstrous roars, ghouls roaming, and undead lurking in the darkness beneath the ground.

Instead, it was a city... with light, wind, water, buildings, and people coming and going?

Their strange actions... seemed to have frightened some children playing around them, who started crying loudly.

Passersby in odd outfits pointed at them and curiously sized them up.

"Meredith... where is this? Could the Teleportation Array have malfunctioned and sent us to a city in an unfamiliar kingdom, far from the Lost Ancient Domain?"

If there was a problem with the Teleportation Array, this kind of situation was highly possible.

"I'm not sure, drop the attack stance, but stay alert, I'll ask someone where we are."

Bunny-ear Meredith couldn't figure out the current situation either, so she sheathed her greatsword and put on a sweet smile as she approached a passerby not far off.

First, figure out where this is.

"Excuse me, sir, could you tell me where we are?"

"##$#R%%&*"

"???"

An unfamiliar language—could it really be that something went wrong with the Teleportation Array, sending them to an unknown kingdom's city on the continent?

Bad news, if they couldn't understand the language of this city, it would be hard to figure out where they were.

"Sir, can you understand what I'm saying?"

Meredith made gestures, but the middle-aged man opposite her shook his head while muttering something.

Language barrier, unable to gather information about this place...?

Wait...

Meredith saw writing on a building not far away, and that writing... she had seen it before!

It was the script used by the kingdom some two thousand years ago where the corrupt official lived!

This... this place... could this be a city from that kingdom two thousand years ago?

Meanwhile, the other members of the Bounty Guild had also noticed this.

How could they have ended up two thousand years in the past?

"This is the Eternal City, the capital of the Ande Kingdom. Outsiders, if you want to make a living here... you'd better find a teacher to learn the language of the Ande Kingdom."

A pale and delicate youth with cherry-red lips and pearly teeth, wearing a platinum-colored robe, appeared in front of Meredith.

The youth smiled, and as Meredith caught sight of his smile, she shaded her eyes with her hand.

His smile was somewhat dazzling.

Like the sun... pure, bright, and clear...

His black hair was styled into a bun, with two ribbons fluttering behind his head, those golden-red eyes... they were very similar to Lance's eyes.

The person also looked a lot like a much, much younger Lance... old-old-old-old... grandfather?

Similar, my foot!

The young man in front of her was clearly Lance himself, albeit with a different hairstyle and a much younger face... There was no doubt, this tender youth was the young Grandfather!

"Grandfather, how come you're here? Ahhh, Grandfather... you're so tender, may I pinch your face?"

"Do you want me to turn you into braised rabbit?"

"???!!!"

The young grandfather... so fierce!
