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

Whispers of confusion emanated from the projection.

As bounty hunters and members of the Bronze Guild, they were familiar with Sword Intent and scrolls.

A swordsman who grasped Sword Intent could easily crush an opponent without it and could even kill a mage in the blink of an eye.

Sword Intent first appeared with the sudden emergence of a powerful historical swordsman.

On the day that swordsman made his debut, he arrogantly declared a statement.

The essence of his original statement was, "From this day forth, there are two kinds of swordsmen: those who have grasped Sword Intent, known as swordsmen, and all the others."

From that day on, a new title was derived from the profession of swordsman: Swordsman.

A Swordsman is above a swordsman, for they have understood their own Sword Intent.

The title "Swordsman" was quickly accepted by swordsmen, as those who did not acknowledge it were defeated by that newly emerged and powerful Swordsman.

His appearance made the art of swordsmanship even more splendid.

And the goals of swordsmen were no longer limited to the length of the Sword Qi they could release or to achieving a certain rank of swordsman.

Their goal became: to comprehend Sword Intent and become a Swordsman.

It was also from that day that there came to be four realms within the Sword Path.

The first realm: The sword lives with me, perishes with me.

The second realm: No sword in hand, but a sword in heart.

The third realm: No sword in hand or heart. I am the sword, the sword is me.

The fourth realm: No sword, no self, both forgotten.

The Swordsman who emerged to prominence organized these Four Realms of the Sword Path and made them known to all.

Thereafter, the swordsmanship entered the fast track, with countless swordsmanship prodigies emerging and numerous swordsmen advancing to become Swordsmen.

Killing with a glance was no longer a joke.

Because a Swordsman who realized Sword Intent...could indeed kill with a look.

The one who emerged was later called by swordsmen of later generations: Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor.

"Evil Dragon" was how that Sword Dao Expert referred to himself. Later generations of swordsmen theorized that the Sword Ancestor called himself "Evil Dragon."

Probably because he considered himself like a fierce, unreasonable Evil Dragon who had plunged into the Sword Path Domain, sweeping away the Sword Dao experts of his era.

For the advancement of swordsmanship, he firmly established the Four Realms of Sword Path upon the Sword Path Domain of that time.

Due to the influence of the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor, Swordsmen tend to have a dislike for Dragon Slayers.

In the Human World, anyone who dares to claim to be a "Dragon Slayer" will be challenged by a Swordsman.

Of course, Swordsmen will not challenge the true Dragon Slayers who kill Evil Dragons to protect humanity.

They target those who are Dragon Slayers in name only.

Since the day Sword Intent appeared, there had been no talk of a Swordsman being able to seal their Sword Intent into a scroll.

Sword Intent is not a source energy that can be sealed into a scroll, it cannot be seen or touched... how can it be sealed into a scroll?

They have heard about Sword Dao Experts placing a strand of Sword Qi within a great sword.

Sword Intent sealed in a scroll... they had neither seen nor even heard of such a thing.

Besides, even if one could seal Sword Intent into a scroll, could its lethality truly surpass that of a Swordsman who wields Sword Intent?

Sword Intent Scroll...not to mention it didn't exist, even if it did... it's unlikely that many bounty hunters, adventurers, or mages would purchase it...

With the money to buy a Sword Intent Scroll, it would be better to directly recruit a Swordsman who knew Sword Intent.

Even if the Sword Intent Scroll gifted by old man Lance was real, they guessed that a scroll would contain only a small amount of Sword Intent, possibly even less powerful than a Holy Light Scroll.

Louis, Dalton, and Bazel all wore bitter expressions – in the end, it seemed they'd have to rely on their own strength and battle the lich head-on.

"Old man, why don't you... exchange the Sword Intent Scroll for a source energy scroll?"

"I don't have any, can't afford them."

Source energy scrolls in the Human World are expensive, the better the quality and more powerful the scroll, the higher the cost.

Buying scrolls was less efficient than making scrolls himself.

His self-made Source Energy Scroll was pretty effective.

Lance wanted to boast about the Sword Intent Scroll he had created, but as the words reached his lips, he changed his mind and decided not to brag.

If he bragged, they would certainly think he was just blowing his own horn.

Letting them test it out and seeing the quality of his Sword Intent Scroll for themselves, they would know how good his work really was.

"Go ahead with confidence, and remember my words, if you can't beat the necromancer, immediately use the Sword Intent Scroll I gave you."

"If we get smashed to bits by the necromancer, old man, you better avenge us."

"Sure."

"Then you need to pay up ten Spirit-communicating Gold Coins first, or else we won't have the money for the teleportation fee...."

"......."

Lance ended the projection call and suddenly remembered... Death God Solomon hadn't given him his bounty....

Without the bounty from Death God Solomon, the few Gold Coins he had were not enough to pay the teleportation fee....

He only had sixty-eight Gold Coins on him.

He had to contact Death God Solomon again.

The pitch-black Grim Reaper's Scythe flew out from the dragon's horn, activating the scythe's projection calling feature, and soon after, the projection light screen appeared... The figure of Death God Solomon came into view in the projection.

"Such quick work, as expected from my most admired apprentice Grim Reaper, so swift in completing tasks. Your bounty will be sent to your Grim Reaper's Scythe shortly, make sure to check for it. I've got other things to deal with here, so I won't chat with you now."

Death God Solomon closed the projection, and not long after, Lance's Grim Reaper's Scythe received thirty-five Gold Coins from Hell.

He counted out fifteen Gold Coins from those from Hell and took out two scrolls sealed with [Evil Dragon Sword Intent] from the dragon's horn and put them into the Bronze Token.

Activating the teleportation function of the Bronze Token, the fifteen Spirit-communicating Gold Coins and the two [Evil Dragon Sword Intent] scrolls soon appeared in the Bronze Guild.

[Grandpa Lance, the bounty mission you posted has been taken by Louis, Dalton, and Bazel. The fifteen Spirit-communicating Gold Coins you paid have been received, and the Sword Intent scrolls you gifted have also been passed on to Louis and his group.

To increase efficiency, Louis temporarily mortgaged the fifteen Spirit-communicating Gold Coins to the guild for 600 Gold Coins. At dawn, they will use the Teleportation Array to head to Norde Kingdom. Once the bounty mission is completed, I will notify you at the earliest convenience.

Grandpa Lance, may the goddess of fortune be with you, sweet dreams.]

Having received Lance's Spirit-communicating Gold Coins and the Sword Intent scrolls, the Bronze Guild promptly reflected the message back to Lance through the text projection feature.

......

Absurd.....

I've never seen an Evil Dragon that could play like this.

Not just seeing, I haven't even heard of such a thing.

If the legendary Evil Dragons were all like Evil Dragon Lance, they would not have become a symbol of "evil greed" in the Human World.

And then there's Sword Intent.

An Evil Dragon has grasped Sword Intent.....

There is nothing more absurd than this. If the swordsmen of the Human World knew that an Evil Dragon had grasped Sword Intent,

Those swordsmen who have never been able to touch their own Sword Intent... would definitely cry out: their comprehension is not even as good as that of an Evil Dragon.

Living with an Evil Dragon that seems to understand a little of everything and is also skilled in networking is so stressful....

But she's a human, she can feel pressure and deal with it....

If she were a real Young Dragon, she would definitely aspire to be like Evil Dragon Lance.

Seriously.

Because she thought that an Evil Dragon like Lance... seemed... kind of cool....

"Stop writing little essays, what are you looking at me for?"

"No... nothing... it's just that, all of a sudden, I think you look kind of cool, Lance..."

"I've always been this cool... cool... cool what cool? What do you know about being cool at such a young age? You should think of me as being kind and approachable instead."

"???"

Weird, I compliment an Evil Dragon for being cool... and he gets angry?
