You, a dragon, are farming in hell

She gleaned a crucial piece of information from the previous conversation between the red-eyed raven and Distin.

The hunting legion seeks to hunt lord-level undead creatures on the Crimson Wasteland.

war.

War is about to break out on the blood-red wasteland.

Will Lord Destin be alright?

Judging from what the red-eyed raven said, the Hunting Legion seems to be very strong.

"You want to hear some gossip, kid?"

“…”

How could Lord Distin think of her like that? How could a princess like her possibly be interested in gossip about hell?

Sophia received a flick on the forehead and spun around in place, clutching her forehead. Destin turned and left, and the red-eyed raven glanced at Sophia, then flew away with a laugh.

There's really no need for this human brat to know too much about his abilities.

If she weren't the brat of the evil dragon Distin, a brat like her wouldn't even qualify as cannon fodder in the Scarlet Wasteland...

Only the ghosts that can survive in the Bloodstained Wasteland are qualified to be cannon fodder.

Clearly, this human brat named Sophia does not possess such an ability.

The red-eyed raven thought about the intensity with which the evil dragon Distin had trained Sophia. After a moment's thought, it realized that it might have laughed a little too loudly when it flew away. It glanced at Distin walking ahead, then flapped its wings and turned back, landing on Sophia's shoulder.

Sofia, who was still rubbing her forehead, looked puzzled when she saw the red-eyed crow land on her shoulder.

"Little devil Sophia, you must study hard. I believe that you will definitely become a powerful overlord in the future, and a great evil spirit that even the evil dragon Distin can be proud of."

I'll steal a crown from Brian and send it to you. I'm the Red-Eyed Raven, so don't forget me then!

"You have a good eye for people. I am indeed capable of ruling a region."

“…”

Be humble, you brat. Only the future you will have the right to say that.

You don't even qualify to be cannon fodder right now.

"I'm leaving now. I'll talk to you later, future 'overlord'."

"Uh-huh."

The future 'overlord' Sofia watched the red-eyed crow leave.

She felt that the Red-Eyed Crow had underestimated her; what future did he need?

She is now the dominant 'ruler' of the region.

The Red-Eyed Raven has never been to the Kingdom of Roland; once it does, it will know just how powerful she is.

The Nightmare Beast walked up to Sophia, hissed at her a few times, and then ran away with a grin.

It mocked Sophia as a 'ruler' who couldn't even learn levitation.

Sofia was so angry that she decided to teach the Nightmare Beast a lesson.

When she returned to the human world later, she picked a hell fruit, juiced it, and smeared it on a carrot. She brought it back that night to feed to the nightmare beast, so that it wouldn't die from the bitterness.

For now, she should just diligently draw the levitation spell array diagram in her notebook a few more times.

Sophia took out her notebook, found a clean spot, and started drawing on the floor.

If she successfully draws a picture on her first try, she will lift her legs and swing them happily a few times.

He failed, sighed, and continued drawing.

After drawing it about twenty times, Sofia stopped.

I've drawn so many times that I'm a bit confused. I'll practice again when I get back to the human world.

She got up and glanced at Distin.

Destin went to the lava lake.

Seeing that Distin wasn't paying attention to her, she took out another notebook and started writing and drawing in it.

She wrote down what she would be doing in the North for the next period of time.

First thing: Develop the North with dragon dung (in progress).

The second thing: road construction. The goal is to transform all the rural roads throughout the North into wide, paved roads within two years. (In the planning stages, not yet started...)

The third thing: basic healthcare. The goal is to build a medical clinic in every village within the northern territory within three years. (This is in the planning stages and has not yet begun...)

The fourth thing: Strengthening the military...

After writing three pages, Sophia closed the book. She suddenly remembered that Lord Distin hadn't taught her to identify herbs yet.

No need to rush this. We can wait until she brings down the books from the North that record the herbs and gives them to Lord Distin, then Lord Distin can teach her how to concoct potions.

First learn the potions for healing the living, then learn the potions for healing souls and immortal beings.

After writing down what she needed to do after dawn in her notebook, Sophia got up and ran towards the stone path where the Devil Fruit Tree was planted.

She picked two hell fruits from the demon fruit tree and stored them in her spatial dragon scales.

Chapter 105 What should she do to protect Lord Diding?

The red-eyed raven stood on the boulder, watching the evil dragon Distin, who had half his body submerged in the lava lake. It had just informed Distin of the hunting legion's recent activities.

It couldn't guess what the evil dragon Diding was planning. The appearance of the hunting legion would surely cause a number of lords to disappear from the Crimson Wasteland.

Some lords might even voluntarily join the hunting legions and become members of them.

After all, not all lords are like that cowardly old skeleton in his family, willing to stay in the Crimson Wasteland forever.

Could it be that the evil dragon Diding wants to see which lords in the Scarlet Wasteland would join the Hunting Legion?

Or perhaps they want to see which lords will lead their hunting legions to hunt him, this flesh-and-blood dragon?

"You don't even know if the hunting legions that entered the Crimson Wasteland came from the Eternal Ashes?"

"I don't know. My old skeleton father has never left the Crimson Wasteland and knows nothing about the ghost realms beyond it."

Brian always said that only those who become kings are qualified to leave the Crimson Wasteland and explore the ghostly realms beyond.

Diding scratched his jaw with his dragon claws, hoping the Hunting Legion came from the Everlasting Ghost Realm so he would have an excuse to farm there later.

There aren't many suitable areas for farming in the Crimson Wasteland, and the arable land in his territory has been almost completely cultivated.

If he wants to continue cultivating wasteland, he will have to expand outwards.

He had already explored the Crimson Wasteland quite thoroughly.

The outer areas of the Lich King's territory were unsuitable for farming, so he built brick kilns there.

The outer areas of Sienna's territory, the Scarlet Lord, are suitable for cultivation, but the infrastructure is inadequate. He wants to build a road that leads directly to Sienna's territory.

Roads alone are not enough; we also need to build some haunted houses for the skeleton soldiers who used to clear the land to live in.

In addition, a lord-level undead creature must be stationed in that area.

Sienna would be a good fit, but this banshee with some demonic blood wouldn't be willing to work for him. Even if he paid her, he might not be able to persuade her.

In that case, we can only wait for help.

He had previously thought that the Ash Caravan could be of help to him, but the reason was not sufficient, so he could only teach Sienna a lesson.

The appearance of the hunting legion might just become an asset to him.

Sienna will definitely come to him for an alliance once she receives news of the Hunting Legion's appearance. This will be his chance to control Sienna.

By then, he will have a lord to oversee that area, and he will also have undead creatures to help him cultivate the wasteland.

Rather than taming wild lords, Diding prefers dealing with familiar lords.

"Have your friends keep a close eye on the lords I mentioned. If they start fighting the Hunting Legion, you don't need to mention joining the Hunting Legion."

"Those lords who would rather die in battle than join the nomadic legions, have your comrades inform me."

"As ordered!"

The red-eyed raven thought of Brian, "Lord Distin, what if my lord chooses to join the Rangers?"

"I'll kill him and make you the lord."

“…”

The red-eyed raven dared not speak. It felt that if that old lich dared to join the hunting legion, the evil dragon Diding would really dare to kill him.

It suspected that the evil dragon Diding might have guessed where the old lich had hidden the life box.

"That Lord Distin, I was just saying, but the old lich definitely won't join the Hunting Legion. He even wants to be your servant."

The red-eyed raven quickly put in a good word for its old lich master, as it had no desire to change masters.

“I’m not just saying this offhand. If he dares to join the Hunting Legion, I’ll kill him and make you the lord.”

"Well... Lord Distin, I... I'll go keep an eye on the Hunting Legion first. You go ahead with your work."

After saying that, the red-eyed raven flapped its wings and flew away, afraid that if it stayed any longer, it would be tempted to fly back and persuade the old lich to join the hunting legion.

Sofia had just sneaked to the edge of the lava lake when she saw the red-eyed crow fly away.

She hadn't heard anything yet.

Her gaze fell on the Nightmare Beast, which was lying on the boulder, seemingly dozing with its eyes closed, but was actually eavesdropping.

I have no idea what he overheard.

"Kid, have you learned the levitation spell's array?"

"I succeeded several times and failed several times. I'll rest for a while before continuing to draw. I've drawn too much and I'm a little dizzy."

Sophia confessed the truth. She looked up at Distin and, seeing that he wasn't angry, mustered her courage and asked, "Lord Distin, is the Hunting Legion dangerous?"

"Yes, it's dangerous. As for how dangerous it is, you just heard it. This legion likes to hunt lords. If the lords of the Crimson Wasteland can't defeat them, they will become the spoils of the hunting legion."

These lords who become valuable assets to the Hunting Legion, if they're lucky, can join the Hunting Legion; if they're unlucky, they become "treasures" for enhancing the strength of other lords.

At this point, Diding paused, turned to Sophia, and added, "You know about Soul Crystals, right?"

Sophia nodded. She knew about this; the Hell Crystal could enhance the strength of the Skeleton Soldiers' Soul Fire and also strengthen their bones.

"Becoming a lord of the spoils of war of the Hunting Legion may result in becoming a Soul Crystal, which can be absorbed and refined by the lord of the Hunting Legion."

“…”

Sophia was horrified. The lord was being absorbed and refined as a soul crystal?

The images of the two lords, Sienna the Crimson Queen and Edith the Evil Spirit, flashed through her mind.

In other words, if these two leaders are defeated by the Hunting Legion, they might become 'Soul Crystals'?

"Kid, why are you trembling? This kind of thing is very common in Hell. A lord in the Crimson Wasteland may become the 'soul crystal' of a lord in the Hunting Legion, and a lord in the Hunting Legion may also become the 'soul crystal' of a lord in the Crimson Wasteland."

"Then...then...doesn't that mean that Lord Distin, you might also become a 'Soul Crystal'?"

"???"

The Nightmare Beast, lying on the boulder, opened its eyes and looked at Sophia. Was this brat worried about the evil dragon Distin? Or was it doubting the strength of the evil dragon Distin?

The strongest undead creature in the Hunting Legion is only at the Grand Lord level.

The evil dragon Diding also happens to be a Grand Lord-level being, so it's hard to say who will become whose soul crystal.

"That's possible. After all, this is hell, and there are too many mysterious, powerful, and bizarre undead creatures here."

Diding did not deny it, but so far he has not encountered any undead creature that would treat him as a 'soul crystal'.

Sophia, whose soul was trembling slightly, was stunned for a moment when she heard Distin's words. Then, looking into Distin's vertical pupils, she fell into deep thought.

She was wondering what she could do to protect Lord Destin.

Chapter 106 Should I also try all kinds of herbs?

If she could, she would also like to use her abilities to protect Lord Destin, the dragon.

From the night her soul fell into hell, she had been protected by the dragon Lord Destin and had been silently enjoying all the benefits that Lord Destin had given her.
