I am a wicked dragon, and you want me to fall into goodness?

Chapter 117 Puse: Is it too much to ask for some Golden Dragon Blood? (3k)

Just as Austin was gathering his strength, and the wolf's claws were about to pounce on Karen with savage force, a voice suddenly came from outside.

"Earl Austin, stop!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Cedric, dressed in a silver robe, walking briskly from outside the door.

The hem of his robe was covered in dust, indicating that he had rushed over after hearing the commotion.

He was slender, but the magical energy surrounding him was not to be underestimated.

As the chief mage of the Starshine Kingdom, Cedric has reached the pinnacle of the Hero-rank profession, mastering all kinds of defensive and restraining magic.

Cedric descended from the air, his gaze sweeping over the charred and burning beams on the ground, before settling on the confronting Green and the silver moon wolf, his expression darkening.

He first cast several healing spells on Grimm, his tone somewhat reassuring: "Your Highness Grimm, your injuries—"

Cedric's face looked very grim.

Kavemas handed Green over to him, and before he even left, he was already so badly injured. What will happen after Kavemas leaves?

How does one take on the task of care?

He then turned to look at Austin, who had transformed into a moon wolf, his expression furious: "Earl Austin, this is the Kingdom of Starshine, not the territory of the Holy Radiance Empire. You attacked Prince Green within Starshine's borders."

"Isn't this going a bit too far?"

Seeing this, Austin stared intently at Cedric with his wolf-like eyes: "This golden dragon openly slaughtered the Holy Light Emissary. I was merely teaching her a lesson today. How could that be considered presumptuous?"

"The massacre within the mission was not without reason," Karen said calmly. "Just now, the Earl launched a mental attack on me in the Red Fruit Court."

Upon hearing Karen's words, Cedric retorted, "You intended to assassinate him, but Prince Green was merely protecting his friend. How can that be considered murder?"

He paused, then raised his hand and waved it. Several water elemental spells suddenly condensed and turned into streams of water, splashing them towards the flames in the main hall.

The crackling fire was instantly suppressed, and the smell of burning in the air also diminished.

He continued, "The Holy Radiance delegation has come from afar. If they are sincere in discussing diplomatic relations, the Holy Radiance will naturally treat them with courtesy."

"But the Earl's act of assassination—can such behavior hardly be considered friendly diplomacy?"

Austin originally intended to use the death of the mission as a pretext to launch an attack, but Karen saw through his rhetoric, and instead, Saint Radiance was in the wrong.

If we forcefully take action, we will only end up with no way to defend ourselves.

But he had already transformed into beast form, and if he stopped now, he would still lose face completely. He could only bite the bullet and say, "Verbal arguments are useless!"

"This golden dragon slaughtered my Holy Radiance delegation today. I must be given an explanation, or I will not let this go!"

"I will explain, of course." Cedric's tone remained calm, yet left no room for argument.

"You ambushed Lady Karen first, and Prince Green's counterattack was in self-defense. As for the rest, Xinghui can let you go and take them back to the Holy Radiance Empire."

"But if the Earl insists on teaching Prince Green a lesson, he will be making an enemy of the entire Starshine Kingdom."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cedric's magical energy surged, and a pale blue magic circle slowly unfolded beneath his feet.

Various barriers and restraining magic are already poised to be unleashed, demonstrating their stance.

Seeing this, Karen stepped forward and stood beside Cedric, blocking Green's path.

The Red Fang Knights also gathered together, longswords in hand, staring solemnly at Austin and the remaining Holy Light Emissary; a great battle was about to break out.

Ultimately, Cedric's spirit was not what it used to be; he had grown old and his temperament had become cowardly, making him unable to kill Earl Austin.

He was only thinking about how to drive the Holy Radiance Army's delegation out of Starshine in the future and completely settle the matter.

If Puse were here, he certainly wouldn't be trying to smooth things over like Cedric did; he'd rather beat both sides senseless.

Austin looked at the scene before him with apprehension. Mental abilities were ineffective against Karen, and Cedric was a master of magic with extremely strong restraining abilities.

In addition, there was a powerful young dragon and a group of elite knights—

He is a level 14 top-tier professional, but the group behind him is an envoy, not a knightly order. If a war really breaks out, he might perish here today.

The violent power surrounding Earl Austin gradually subsided, and the silver luster on his pure white wolf fur faded somewhat. His beastly eyes held resentment, but he ultimately dared not make another move rashly.

He knew that there was no way to reverse the situation today, and that continuing the stalemate would only increase casualties. It would be better to retreat for the time being and then join forces with the Holy Radiance Royal Family to settle the score with sufficient strength in the future.

A moment later, Austin's body twisted again, his bones cracking as he slowly transformed from his moon wolf form back into human form.

But now he was dressed in rags, his hair was disheveled, and he had long lost his previous aristocratic elegance. His face was so gloomy that it could drip water.

He glared fiercely at Green and Karen, uttering harsh words: "The Holy Radiance Empire will not let this matter rest. You will pay the price for what you have done today!"

Karen remained calm and said indifferently, "The Starshine Kingdom has never feared any threat."

"If the Holy Radiance Empire insists on coming, Starshine will accompany them to the end. However, since the Earl is leaving today, please take the remains of the delegation with you. Starshine will not keep the remains of the Holy Radiance people."

Austin gritted his teeth, offering no rebuttal, and sternly ordered the remaining members of the delegation, "Gather the wreckage and move out!"

The remaining members of the Holy Radiance Clan dared not say anything more and hurriedly gathered up the charred remains on the ground.

One by one, looking disheveled, they followed Austin and hurried towards the door.

As he reached the door, Austin turned back again to look at Karen and Green, his eyes brimming with resentment.

Until Austin and the Holy Light Mission completely disappeared outside the Red Fruit Court gate.

Green slowly retracted his form, transforming from an eleven-meter-long golden dragon back into a small golden dragon over two meters long, and began to rub against Karen's thigh.

This is a great opportunity to increase favorability.

"Karen, I felt like he really wanted to kill me just now."

Green just stepped in for him, and although his actions were reckless, they earned Karen's favor.

Karen sheathed her sword: "Your Highness Green, rest assured, how are your injuries?"

Cedric looked at the gradually dying embers in the main hall, sighed helplessly, and looked at Karen.

"Given the current situation, we've probably completely offended that count. They'll definitely come back for revenge, so we need to prepare early."

Karen nodded: "We've already fallen out today, so we still need to tell Her Majesty Kavismas about this. With her in charge, Starshine will have more security."

Cedric nodded in agreement.

Suddenly, a dragon's roar came from above the courtyard. Karen looked up and saw that half of the sky seemed to be covered, and a huge, dark blue dragon descended.

He glanced at the scorch marks and rubble scattered throughout the hall, his gaze finally settling on Grin, whose wings were stained with golden blood, and immediately began to mock him.

"Tsk, isn't this the fearless Grimm? Oh, my poor sister, what happened to you and you've become such a pathetic sight?"

Upon hearing this, Green froze, a surge of grievance welling up within him, but he was rendered speechless by Puse's mockery and could only droop his wings.

Puse continued, "Look at those wings! Anyone who didn't know better would think you were being hunted by a dragon-hunting team. It's truly a sad thing!"

His tone shifted abruptly, his gaze fixed on the golden blood dripping from Green's wound, a cunning glint in his eyes.

He turned to Cedric, who was sighing helplessly to the side, and gestured with his chin, saying in a teasing tone, "Cedric, hurry up and find a bottle to collect her dragon blood, don't waste it."

"Grin's golden dragon blood is a treasure. It can be used to temper weapons and refine healing potions. It's a rare find that ordinary alchemists would kill for."

"If possible, we could even use this blood to create a few Dragonblood Knights."

What Poseidon did was utterly immoral; it was tantamount to forcibly giving Green several servants.

In the eyes of the dragon, this was not a good thing at all; its blood would only be given to those it acknowledged, such as Karen and Gabriella.

Just like Poseidon, who has only acknowledged two apostles in the past six months: Karen and Cedric.

Once those two are dead, Puse will definitely reap a huge harvest.

There is also Oliver Grant, the commander of the Red Fang Knights, who is currently being considered.

This guy is already a top-tier professional, and he has the blood of a red dragon beast in his body. If he forcibly merges with Puse's dragon blood, it might cause an explosion.

Puse doesn't care about that.

If he does make the choice to become Poseidon's apostle, then it is a risk he should take.

Now, it's actually Puse who's hesitant, feeling that this guy isn't worthy of his dragon blood.

Oliver has some talent, but he is not a miracle born in human history. His ultimate goal is to become a top-tier professional, and it is impossible for him to break through to become a hero professional.

This guy's potential is obvious at a glance.

Even if you form a contract with him, the talents and skills you recover should be mediocre.

Furthermore, they might not be suited to dragons, for example, they might not acquire certain riding skills.

Does a dragon need to ride a horse?

Green immediately flew into a rage, flapping his injured wings and retreating backward, ignoring the pain in his wounds, and shrieked, "Puse, are you insane! This is my blood! Why should I use it to refine medicine and temper weapons for others, and even create Dragonblood Warriors? I don't acknowledge them at all!"

Her nose turned red with anxiety: "The dragon's blood can only be given to those it approves of; no one else can even dream of it!"

"If you dare let Cedric take my blood, I'll tell Mother!"

Beast!

He had clearly told his mother that he would take care of her, but when he saw that she was injured, he was excited and wanted to take some of Jinlong's blood.

Her wings drooped, and golden blood dripped down the crack, landing on the ground in a shimmering golden hue, making Pu Se envious.

Cedric cast several healing spells on Green, unsure whether he should agree or not.

He stroked the magic pouch in his sleeve, which indeed contained empty bottles for alchemy.

Kopse's proposal was utterly absurd.

If His Highness Kavis finds out about this, Cedric's credibility with Kavis will definitely plummet.

Although Cedric obtained some of Green's blood by chance, coincidences can be created if one is determined.

Seeing this, Puse sneered, not taking Green's threat seriously at all. His huge blue dragon body suddenly shrank to the size of a half-human-sized young dragon.

What Cedric dared not do, Pousser not only dared to do, but also did with great excitement.

Before Cedric could react, he hooked his sharp claws and began to grab the magic pouch in the other's sleeve.

It rummaged around inside for a bit with its claws and quickly pulled out several empty, white bottles.

"Tch, stop dawdling. If you want it, I'll have to do it myself."

Puse wagged her tail and approached Green. In her young dragon form, she was still arrogant and domineering. She gestured with her sharp claws toward the golden blood dripping from her wings.

Blood on the ground flew into the air and landed steadily in the empty bottle. Green rushed over, but was pinned to the ground by Puse, who had regained his original size.

He used the hands of a mage, unlike Cedric, who could perfectly separate even brass dragon blood mixed with mud.

So when they put Green's blood in, they even mixed in some dirt, so the shelf life probably won't be very long.

"Hehe, my sister, this little bit of blood is enough to add a few more members to your retinue."

As he was getting into the conversation, a gust of wind suddenly came from behind him, and the gentle and familiar aura made Pu Se's scales stiffen abruptly.

Poseidon's tail drooped instantly, and the bottle that was floating in the air almost fell to the ground.

Kavis's voice rang out calmly: "Puse, what are you doing?"
