I'm really not a dragon.

One gold coin, two gold coins!

"My esteemed Bahamut, this is my only treasure!"

"I humbly offer you all my wealth, and pray that I may serve you with all my heart!"

Originally a murder trial, now the temple of Bahamut.

Sun knelt down and prayed before Bahamut's altar.

A gold coin with a smiling face printed on it rolled into the altar, and the altar finally reacted, with a halo spreading out.

Under Suen's expectant gaze, a line of text floated in the air: "This isn't about money!"

"..."

"Big Tooth, put in more! Three hundred, no, three hundred and one gold coins!"

Big Tooth nodded solemnly, directing the mice to push in one gold coin after another. As clever mice who deeply understood the nature of the Dragon Lord and all the Dragon Gods,

Da Ya took it upon himself to change the offering of gold coins into four hundred and two.

As expected, the entity within the altar was quite satisfied, and a wisp of its aura wafted out from it.

A breath hovered above Suen's head, praising his piety.

Then the message shifted to the dragon vein rat's head, praising its wisdom.

Finally, the focus shifts to the slime, as if wondering what exactly it is.

Then, the aura returned to the depths of the altar.

A panel appeared in front of Suen's eyes.

Available position: Pastor's apprentice.

Since you have already chosen the Barbarian class, this class can be used as a background feat.

You can obtain the universal Priest First Circle Divine Spell, listed below:

?

Barbarians, they're insane! My Dragon Bun System can't even tell the difference between a mage and a barbarian anymore. Thinking about it, it's understandable; with Bean Bun's memory, if it can't find the information, it'll just make it up, and it'll even argue back.

Looking at the densely packed chart of laws, Suen casually activated a Devotion Shield.

A wave-like pattern appeared on his body.

Suen glanced at the quest panel; the priest's progress had changed to two, one more quest needed.

Look down,

In front of the altar,

Big Tooth is controlling the Holy Fire spell he just learned. The slime is trying to trick a mouse into going into its stomach.

Well, it's obvious who didn't become a pastor.

"Looks like we'll have to activate Plan B!"

"Go and call Orin over here!"

Suen grabbed the mouse that was about to fall into the slime's belly and placed it on the bridge behind him.

Subsequently,

He shifted his focus to something else.

Suen's idea was that...

If we want to solve the problem of the inability to establish an adventurers' guild at its root, then we should use the power of a higher dimension to intervene and ensure that every adventure contract is under the watchful eyes of the gods.

Bahamut's domains include Order, War, Light, and Metal Dragons.

In other dimensions, Bahamut's domain even includes law.

Although not as professional as Amantana, the god of law and the ancient sun god, Bahamut has the ability to become the supreme scales of justice, judging every act of injustice.

The only question is whether Your Excellency Bahamut is willing to become a judgment machine.

"Please, Your Excellency Bahamut, I'm willing to offer ten times the reward!"

Suen lay prostrate on Bahamut's altar, praying fervently, "Think of those beliefs, Bahamut, the beliefs of mortals! Every time an adventure contract is signed, a clattering stream of gold coins flows into your altar!"

"Countless people would be vying to be your priest!"

"You've got some ambition, Bahamut!"

It seemed that Suen's prayers had finally worked, as a flash of light appeared on the altar.

The dense dragon patterns climbed up the altar like claw marks.

"Offer Baal's artifacts!"

Suen was a little confused. He took out Baal's murder weapon from his pocket and placed it on the altar.

A wave of light, like water, rippled outwards.

The dagger's own soul let out a mournful wail, "No, wait, why are there so many beings from the upper realm!"

"What are you doing?!"

"Baal, my Lord, save me!"

As the light faded, a small golden scale appeared above the altar, adorned with the dragon head of the North Wind King soaring through the air, with small golden trays placed on either end of the scale, which resembled outstretched wings.

[Detected Amazing Device: Flawless Balance Scales]

This is an intelligent item with Intelligence 23, Perception 21, and Charisma 21. It has been endowed with incredibly powerful divination abilities by the Dragon God, but it lacks the ability to communicate.

It will proactively cast a series of spells on its contractors, including those for detecting lies, reading minds, detecting alignment, and detecting good and evil.

It possesses a range of magical abilities, including knowledge of legends, the past, and cities.

It can accept any form of curse and be released as punishment against those who violate it; the spell's level depends on the curse's level.

Each time it is used, devout treasures must be offered before the altar of Bahamut.

[Current Curse: Secret Blade Curse]

[Secret Blade Curse: If the scales tip, the side that gains the upper hand will be attacked by a killer within 24 hours.]

[Note: This punitive ability will last until Baal is officially resurrected and regains his slight divine power and divine status.]

Old Deng took all the divine fragments from the artifact, and then modified them to turn it into a pay-to-play item.

Suen frowned. If Baal came back to life, the powerful curse of the Balance would lose its effect. No, from another perspective, what if Baal never came back to life? Wouldn't that solve everything? Besides, he could contain other curses!

Suen couldn't help but recall the Warden's transformation curse.

Things seem to be getting interesting.

On the other side,

Orin followed the rope back to the ruins of the dungeon. Her innate talent for blindness allowed her to see the state of the dark world without light.

"Father, does he intend to seize Baldur's Gate?!"

She pondered, puzzled.

Before her eyes lay a wide river. Magically sculpted stone formations stretched along the river, creating a small kingdom large enough to house tens of thousands of mice.

The mice scattered spores and herb seeds, casually cultivating this land.

On both sides of the river, the mice tied earthworms to fishhooks and threw them into the river using a wooden machine that resembled a fishing rod. A moment later, the rope was pulled sharply, and a live fish was hauled ashore amidst the mice's cheers.

Cut open the belly and gills, and throw the unpalatable internal organs to the new slime.

"Young master!" A group of skull rats presented Olin with exquisitely sliced ​​sashimi, fawningly offering it to his feet. "You absolutely must try this. I'll stake my rat dignity on it; this is definitely the most delicious fish in all of Baldur's Gate!"

Orin doesn't dislike eating raw meat.

While in the murder trial, she ate anything—dead rats, earthworms, giant spiders.

The fish is not fishy at all, has a great chewy texture, and an intense sweetness that explodes in your mouth.

Olin's eyes lit up, and he licked his fingers with a hint of lingering satisfaction.

The hamster, who was leading the way, turned around and saw the greedy Olin, and couldn't help but feel a little proud. The hamster's cooking skills are the best in the world!

at this time,

A faint tremor came from the ground, and the entire mouse kingdom trembled with unease.

A chubby slime was sitting at its workstation, contentedly accepting the trash the hamster fed it.

Suddenly, the stone shell beneath its body cracked open, revealing two large, dark maws that pierced through the slime. The barbs on the edges of the maws adhered to the slime's soft tissue, swallowing it like a jelly.

Then a six-legged burrowing worm, nearly three meters long and covered in a brownish-black cuticle, emerged from the ground.

Four pairs of compound eyes surveyed the kingdom's inhabitants, revealing a longing for flesh and blood.

Digging worms are mostly found in dark areas and are good at digging tunnels. They are considered to be close relatives of digging giants, but they do not have the mind-confusing mental abilities of digging giants. They are more like mindless creatures that dig and prey day after day.

It naturally set its sights on the biggest and most delicious piece of meat in the mouse kingdom.

In a panic, Orin took out the Blood Skull Ritual Dagger and held it upright in front of him. This weapon, which was constantly dripping blood, seemed to have aroused the ferocity of the burrowing worm.

With a deep roar, the monster charged toward Olin on its six legs.

"Enemy attack!"

The skull rats directed the other rats to scatter and flee. Non-combat rats hid in the kingdom's sanctuary, while those with combat specializations from the War Temple leaped out and charged towards the burrowing worms.

"Don't come any closer!"

Orin watched helplessly as the mice were crushed one by one by the burrowing worms' violent charge.

The blood stimulated her instincts, and the desire to kill surged in her veins.

Just then, a massive, fiery-skinned ferocious rat slammed into the side of the burrowing worm, its sharp teeth biting at the giant worm's ankle, sparks flying. However, the size difference between the two was too great; even with its potion, the ferocious rat could hardly contend with a giant worm nearly three meters long, whose strength and speed far surpassed that of ordinary rats!

The burrowing beetle raised its side legs and kicked the mouse like a blade, scraping off a bloody mess.

Attracted by the fresh flesh and blood, the insect clumsily turned its pincers, grabbed the struggling hamster, and shredded it in its mouth. The leader of the red-skinned hamsters was dead.

Orin stared blankly at the scene, then subconsciously licked his lips.

Suddenly, something lightly bit her ankle. Looking down, she saw a skull rat staring at her. A connection formed between their minds through telepathic power. "Little master, this way. Leave the rest to us!"

[Alert: Your kingdom has been attacked by burrowing giants]

Fortunately, this was just a lone burrowing giant worm. With the combined efforts of the ratmen, this monster was slain on your territory.

[134 Ratmen killed, including one elite Ratman]

[Number of ratmen in the tribe: 6723]

Su En was running back anxiously when he saw the information that appeared on the panel, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This underground world is so unsafe!

Out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to see a figure stumbling and running towards him.

"Olin, are you alright?"

Orin shook his head and silently hugged Suen.

Suen's body stiffened, then softened little by little from his shoulders, and he hugged Aolin. The little girl must have been frightened.

"Want to hear a story, Orin?" Orin nodded slightly. "I want one that isn't gory!"

"Absolutely no gore!"

After thinking for a moment, Su En thought to himself, "System, give me some dragon history!"

【OK! 】

[Data is being packaged and downloaded!]

"I'm going to tell you the story of the dragon!"

"But I'm not a dragon!" That's not what Orin wanted to hear. History is nothing compared to chivalric romances.

Su En waved her hand dismissively, "It's alright, just pretend you are."

"Okay."

"Long, long ago, there was only one world, where all dragons and all races lived. Of course, the dragons were also the most powerful rulers..."

[Silver Dragon's Daily Life: Child Education Begins with Knowledge Education]

[Rewards: Praise of Noble Morality +1, Heart of Snow Elixir +1]

[Silver Dragon's Daily Life: Education Begins with Extraordinary Power]

As a young silver dragon, a mentor and guiding light for future heroes, now try to teach your little hero and help them become an apprentice-level professional!

[Reward: Praise for Lofty Morality +1, Heart of Snow Elixir +1]

After an unknown amount of time, Orin fell asleep.

Suen looked at the light screen with mixed feelings.

Could it be that our daily tasks from now on will be training Olin?

As a mage, Suen's only experience was leading Orin down the path of no return that is "mage"!

However, according to the mission requirements, we are still missing a Bahamut priest. If this child becomes a priest, will he hate me when he grows up?

After all, mages are the most powerful profession in the world!

With mixed feelings, Suen carried Orin back to the Mouse Kingdom. As soon as she looked up, she saw the place where the giant burrowing worm had appeared, and the deep tunnel led directly to other areas of the dungeon.

"That wretched bug! How dare it scare its little master!"

Big Tooth raised the Holy Fire spell and hurled it at the burrowing worm's corpse.

"Alright, Big Tooth, it's dead!"

"Let's block the hole first, so nothing else can get in!"

The mice carried pebbles and clay to seal the walls.

If there is one, there will be two.

The burrowing worm is just one of the many predators in the dungeon ruins.

Suen glanced at the quest panel: the Craftsman's Temple and the Nest Magic—he had to get them as soon as possible. The rats relied on swarms; if they faced heavy casualties, the swarm would rout, which was unavoidable.

Rats are adept at overwhelming the enemy with numbers, but if the monster is too strong or too numerous, the entire rat swarm will be in danger.

Who knows how many Pokémon are in this dark dungeon?

Suen examined the giant worm's carcass. He had heard before that the burrowing worm's shell could be made into an insect armor. Perhaps a seasoned adventurer could figure out where to start.

"What about the Moonlight Rat swarm?" Sun asked. "Use the portal to send this bug into the tavern."

Suen raised her finger and gently tapped the insect shell.

The swarm of mice quickly gathered together; their fur shimmered with a pure white light.

An elliptical portal gradually took shape, with surging electric currents forming its edges, and the entire portal grew larger and larger.

Suen entered Mage's Wrath state, lifting the massive carcass of the insect.

Suddenly, he realized something was wrong and slowly put the insect carcass down.

[Detected: Burrowing insect eggs, two live eggs]

Should they be converted into slaves?

A glob of liquid, carrying shattered insect eggs, fell to the ground.

Suen counted about twenty insect eggs, some of which were destroyed in the fierce battle, which was a pity.

Suddenly, the light screen flickered.

[Detected: Burrowing insect egg, one live egg]

[Should we convert them into slaves?]

He died so quickly!

In desperation, Su En took out the Heart of Wind and Snow secret medicine, crushed it, and mixed it into the insect eggs.

The potion's power was unleashed, and the insect blood froze little by little, drawing life force from the surroundings like a vortex. A surge of life force from the giant insect froze onto the remaining insect eggs.

It seems that something interesting has happened.

Golden magical patterns gradually covered the rough shell of the insect egg.
