This dragon girl raising system is a bit strange.

Thor rushed home.

At his doorstep, he took out the red gemstone that had been buried in the soil.

Previously, the regulators used this gem to communicate with themselves.

He wiped the dirt off the surface of the gemstone and felt the echoes inside.

Sure enough, a sound came from inside the gem.

The regulators have seen everything that happened today.

"John, why don't you tell them the details of those theories?" the other person asked.

The other party insists that Thor is John.

Yesterday, Thor revealed his new theory of dark magic, which shocked Professor Isaac.

Today, Professor Isaac shared this information with others, only to be met with fierce rebuttals.

Without Thor's help, Professor Isaac was left to his own devices and could not persuade the others.

The regulators hope that Thor can help Professor Isaac spread the truth about the theory to others.

"John, I need you to attend the daily morning meeting tomorrow morning."

"At that time, I need you to convince everyone."

Thor tried to respond to the gem's interior:

"Tomorrow might be a bit too rushed. I need to sort things out. Maybe we should postpone it for a few more days."

The truth is, he needs to spend time reading through the contents of the newly acquired book, "The Basic Theory of Black Magic".

Only after understanding these points can you better persuade the other party.

Unfortunately, the regulators did not accept the proposal.

"Tomorrow morning, there's no room for negotiation," the other party said.

"Alright."

The other party then changed the subject, saying:

"You've been guiding Alice to learn about dark magic; that's good."

"Alice is the most talented student in the academy. Take good care of her."

It was clearly just a perfunctory act to complete a system task.

However, the other party perceived it as patient teaching.

Torque suppressed the urge to laugh.

"understood."

"Be a good teacher of dark magic. His Majesty values ​​you highly and will contact you again in the future."

After he finished speaking, the other person fell silent.

Thor was quite disdainful.

He acknowledged that the regulators were highly capable and extremely powerful.

However, he already had a way to break the surveillance.

Thor returned home and saw that Julia had bought a cookbook and was studying it on the table.

"Yulia? Why didn't you go to school?"

He remembered that Julia was supposed to go to school to see her swordsmanship teacher today.

Yulia, dressed in a classic black maid's gown, walked over gracefully and said:

"Didn't I say that day that I could skip school?"

The dragon girl blinked to show her innocence.

"Forget it, none of those things matter."

Thor didn't care about any of that.

"I have something important to tell you."

Thor told Julia about his plan.

He speculated that the regulators were using methods of controlling non-human creatures for surveillance, such as the rabbit Obi and the cat that delivered the ruby ​​gem yesterday.

When he went to the hospital with Alice this morning, there must have been some creatures following them, but he just didn't notice them.

After all, there are too many creatures on the street, and it is impossible for a normal human to notice all of these details.

But Yulia is different.

She is exceptionally gifted in this area and possesses remarkable insight.

Thor's plan was to go out and circle around a few times so that Julia could find out if there were any creatures following them.

The destination was "Bright Blacksmith Shop".

That is, the blacksmith shop operated by Duke Mavis's forces.

You can also do some system tasks along the way.

[Quest 1: The Forging of the Dragon Blood Sword]

【Task success conditions:】

【1. Help Yulia obtain the Dragonblood Sword (Required)】

[2. Help Yulia awaken the Dragon Blood Sword (optional)]

[3. Yulia uses the Dragonblood Sword to kill 100 enemies (optional)]

For Thor, all three wishes could be fulfilled at once.

Julia also knew that Thor was being monitored and understood the other party's attitude, so she dared not be negligent in the slightest.

She immediately stood up straight and made a solemn promise to Thor:

"Leave it to me!"

......

A gentle breeze was blowing on the street.

On the roof of the wooden house, a small green bird perched on a black tile.

The little bird, no bigger than a palm, was covered in soft, dark green feathers. Its round, black eyes gazed at the distant street as it tilted its head and stuck out its tongue to lick its own feathers.

Its gaze never left the street.

Where its gaze fell, in the middle of the street, Thor and Julia walked along the desolate road, heading into the distance.

The two figures gradually moved away from view, becoming smaller and smaller. The bird flapped its wings and took flight, flying forward to the roof of another house and landing there.

As Thor and his companion walked further away, the little bird gradually caught up.

The cycle repeated itself, with the little bird following the two as they moved forward.

The two slowly made their way towards the densely populated area.

Their figures appeared and disappeared intermittently, obscured by the presence of others.

However, this was no challenge for the clever little bird.

It flapped its wings and flew from the tiled roof into the sky, above the crowd, looking down at them.

Under its watchful gaze, Thor and Julia seemed to have taken the wrong path and turned back.

The little bird remained in flight, maintaining its altitude, watching them turn back below it, then turned and moved to the right.

It followed immediately.

Thor and Julia were found to have entered a blacksmith shop.

The little green bird immediately landed on the roof opposite the blacksmith's shop, its brown claws hooking onto the edge as it quietly observed the situation inside.

The blacksmith shop has a large and luxurious showroom on the side facing the street.

Marble display cases surrounded the room, displaying all sorts of weapons and equipment.

The exhibition hall is filled with a wide variety of equipment, including swords forged from fine steel, tough enchanted armor, and bows and arrows with various special effects.

As soon as Thor entered the room, a shop assistant behind the counter immediately came forward to greet him.

The shop assistant was a young man with a well-proportioned build, his hair neatly combed back, and wearing a well-tailored suit. He walked up to Thor and politely said:

"Distinguished guest, what would you like to buy?"

The shop assistant recognized Thor's identity at a glance:

He was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a maid with him. The maid was beautiful, well-dressed, and had an extraordinary temperament.

If such a distinguished customer is willing to enter the store, there is a high probability that they will make a purchase.

Thor surveyed the equipment around him and said:

"I'm here to help my maid choose a suitable weapon."

"Weapons? Your maid."

The shop assistant was somewhat surprised.

I never expected that such a cute girl would be a battle maid.

However, he had also seen cases of maids working as bodyguards.

The quick-witted shop assistant immediately recommended an expensive, flashy but impractical short sword.

"How about this sword?"

"It's lightweight and suitable for girls."

The direction he was pointing to was a weapon resembling a hidden blade, or perhaps more accurately, a small knife.

The sword hilt, wrapped in coarse cloth, and the blade, slightly longer than a hand, gleamed with a cold light.

Thor glanced at the price and then shook his head.

"I don't want this kind of petty stuff."

"Besides, buddy, you're charging 10 gold coins for a knife like that?"

Thor had visited such famous blacksmith shops before.

In the past, this kind of knife would only cost around 1 gold coin, and even if the premium was high, it would not exceed 5 gold coins. What the heck is 10 gold coins?

The shop assistant then explained:

"The price...this is indeed the price after the recent price increase."

He began to complain:

"That is, not long ago, His Majesty began to levy a special commercial tax."

"Under the pressure of high taxes, we have no choice but to raise prices..."

He was telling the truth.

Not long ago, Princess Ainol issued a series of policies that greatly increased taxes on the nobility.

This tax is even tiered; the higher a family's wealth and income, the more tax is levied.

It is precisely for this reason that so many people, including Count Oscar, hate Princess Elnor and try to overthrow her rule.

No wonder Princess Enor wanted to create a dedicated overseer.

She offended both the aristocratic and the church forces; it's a miracle she's still alive.

Thor walked to a corner of the shop and picked out a long, heavy sword.

This sword is the real "sword".

This sword is exceptionally well-made, with a thick blade made of ancient black iron, making it exceptionally tough.

The only downside is that it's very heavy.

"Distinguished guest, the weight of this sword is probably not..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Yulia had already picked up the sword with one hand and was weighing and playing with it in her hand for a while.

"Hey, this is fun."

She gripped the sword with one hand and swung it casually.

Shop assistant: "???"

"This is a two-handed sword?!" he asked, puzzled.

How could a two-handed sword be lifted by a delicate girl with one hand?

He even thought that someone else had replaced the sword with a fake model and taken it back from Julia.

As a result, he couldn't grip the hilt with both hands, and his hands sank, almost breaking the sword. Fortunately, Yulia reacted quickly and caught it.

The shop assistant wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Thank you," he said.

With Julia's help, he put the sword back on the display stand.

While they were fooling around, Thor had already gone to the other side of the corner, looked around, and spotted one of the bows and arrows. He said:

"I need to get a weapon myself."

"I see on your label that this bow and arrow are suitable for hunting small animals?"
