What if you ascend to the wrong world?

"Isn't there a dragon and a dragon knight who can forge a deep bond and sign a permanent contract?" the maid asked again.

Yes, but very few.

Ivia pushed up her glasses, her expression becoming more serious.

"If a dragon proposes to sign a permanent contract with you, my advice is to report it to Dragon Island immediately."

You've most likely encountered a scammer.

There was a case like this before.

In the second year after the contract was signed, a second-tier Holy Flame Red Dragon said that she had fallen in love with the dragon knight she had signed the contract with, and offered to turn the five-year short contract into a permanent one, and even wanted to marry him...

The dragon knight was so moved that he cried his eyes out.

In the following three years, he devoted all his resources to raising the Holy Flame Red Dragon from the second tier to the third tier.

Then, just as the fifth year of their short-term contract was ending, and the dragon knight was preparing to sign a permanent contract with her...

She ran away.

Not only did she run away, but she also turned around and accused the dragon knight of treating her badly and being too controlling.

As a result, the dragon knight not only failed to sign the permanent contract and wasted a huge amount of resources, but also gained a bunch of unfounded accusations.

Until eight years ago,

The dragon knight, who had already been promoted to a third-tier dragon hunter, infiltrated Dragon Island and wreaked havoc on the Holy Flame Red Dragon clan, finally revealing the truth of the matter to the world.

It's truly heartbreaking.

In short, with the development of the times, the Dragon Knight, who once represented nobility and power, is now recognized by the world as a terrible profession.

Those who can afford this extraordinary profession now are either truly wealthy individuals who can sign high-ranking dragons at will.

They are either delusional fools who believe their 'sincere' efforts can move the dragon.

……

……

It was noon.

Ye Tu and his three companions entered the spacious dragon-themed parking area at the back of the hall via the VIP access route.

One after another, giant dragons broke through the sky from afar, stirring up wind and snow, and slowly descended after circling once in the sky.

As fewer and fewer people switch to becoming dragon riders, the rental business is becoming increasingly difficult, and many dragons are spontaneously trying other industries.

This is the most popular one.

While the Dragon Knight was a bit of a rip-off, there's one thing that can't be denied.

The exhilarating feeling of riding a giant dragon through the sea of ​​clouds is something even the best skyrail train can't give you!

Who didn't dream of riding a giant dragon and wielding a hero's sword to defeat the demon king when they were a child?

Ivia chose a dark dragon.

It's considered the most prestigious dragon besides the Holy Light Dragon, with a single ride costing twice as much as a first-class carriage on the Skyrail.

If it weren't for the 100,000 euros Elliott gave her, she really wouldn't have been willing to part with it...

"It's here!"

It was a gray-white circular stone platform, like a plaza, covered with runes and shimmering with a ghostly blue light.

A dark dragon lay there quietly.

The cold wind carried the chilly rain, and the dark purple scales gleamed with a metallic sheen. Between the scales, a faint purple light flickered.

Second-tier Dark Dragon.

Although it's only at the second tier, thanks to the dragon race's powerful physique and innate affinity for dark magic,

A mage like Ivia could be slapped into a pancake with a single blow.

Good afternoon, everyone.

Contrary to her imposing appearance, her voice was very clear and even a little childish.

The dark golden dragon eyes lingered on Irenevit for a moment.

Immediately, a gangway extended down from the cabin behind her, all the way to the group in front of them.

"Please be careful when you come up."

Chapter 87 Welcomes Archbishop Ivia

Let's go!

Ivia was the first to step onto the gangway and quickly walked upwards.

Although she had traveled this way many times before, this was her first time encountering the Dark Dragon, and she was quite looking forward to it.

So, while Ye Tu and the others were only halfway there, she had already run to the top.

He even turned around and waved to the group.

Before long, as the group walked into the cabin on the back of the dark dragon, the gangway slowly retracted.

The interior space is spacious and bright, and the overall environment...

To be honest, it's not even as good as the carriage Ye Tu and Ivia used when they went to the Dawn Empire.

But considering it's a dark dragon, this level of achievement is already quite impressive.

They were greeted by a little girl in a black dress. Her dark gold vertical pupils were not imposing, but rather made her look somewhat innocent.

He looked to be about seven or eight years old, and he was holding a notebook in his arms.

Her face was tense, seemingly trying to appear more professional.

After craning their necks to look for a while, and confirming that none of them had brought any luggage.

Would you gentlemen like something to drink?

"..." Ivia couldn't help but blurt out, "Isn't it illegal to employ child labor?"

"I'm not a child laborer." The little girl looked at her and said solemnly in a very serious tone, "I'm already twenty-seven years old!"

Twenty-seven years old?

Is she really twenty-seven?!

That's true. For a long-lived species like the Dark Dragon, twenty-seven years old should still be considered its 'juvenile stage', right?

emm...

However, different groups should be judged by different standards, and the current evaluation standards of the Mage Association are still too crude.

Just like last year.

A talent selection program codenamed 'Elorn' was launched, in which one of the dwarves, Mingming, was outstanding in all aspects.

However, it was eliminated because it failed the speed test.

The dwarf is still protesting to this day.

"I'd like a cup of Dragon Flame Juice, heated and with less sugar."

Dragon Flame Fruit is a specialty of the Dark Dragon Clan, so of course I have to give it a try!

"Ok!"

The little dragon unfolded the notebook in his pocket, took out a pen and quickly wrote down Ivy's request, then looked at the others.

"I don't need it," Ye Tu said with a smile.

“I don’t need it either,” Irene Vitte said calmly.

"Me too! I want a cup of Dragon Flame Juice, with ice and extra sugar!" the maid said hurriedly.

"Okay, please wait a moment, we'll be right there!"

As the little dragon turned and left, the crisp sound rang out.

"Please be seated and steady. We are expected to arrive at Sky Island in four hours. If you need to leave your cabin during this time, please let me know in advance."

Some people like it this way.

But some people prefer to stand directly behind the dragon and experience the feeling of soaring through the clouds with it.

The lobby even sells unopened standard iron swords, specifically for passengers who are not warrior-type characters but want to take a commemorative photo holding the sword behind the dragon.

Ye Tu walked to the side, chose a seat by the window, and looked out the window.

But in his heart, he was thinking about what the God of Night had said last night.

Excessive desires, indulgence, depravity...

Is a dragon that is no longer proud a form of self-indulgence?

But soon, he smiled again.

This is more like a natural evolution of the times, and there's no need to attribute everything to 'ancient gods'.

Soon, the dragon's wide wings spread open, and the rich dark magic transformed into a bright, dark purple light that shone through the gaps in its scales.

Call ~

With just one wave, the surging air currents, carrying wind and snow, surged in all directions like sharp blades.

Driven by dark magic, the dragon's massive body suddenly soared into the air.

In less than five seconds, it was off the ground and through the howling wind and snow.

Boom!

The sea of ​​clouds churned, and a dark purple dragon burst forth from the clouds.

Under the effect of the magic array, the group did not feel any turbulence, and even the feeling of weightlessness only lasted for a very short moment.

Then look out the window.

All that could be seen was the warm sunshine; the wind and snow had vanished.

Even the thick layer of dark clouds had turned into a snow-white sea of ​​clouds, stretching into the distance without end.

The rune-constructed beacons lit up one after another, like colorful stars, guiding the way.

boom!

With another flap of its broad wings, the dragon, like a dark purple arrow, swiftly sped towards Sky Island.

"Sister, your juice is ready."

Then the little dragon came closer carrying a tray, looking very well-behaved.

only……

elder sister?

I'm only nineteen!

You're twenty-seven already, shouldn't I be calling you "older sister"?

"Thank you." Ivia accepted the juice.

It is said that long-lived species are less emotionally aware due to their longer lifespan, and their mental development is much slower than that of short-lived species.

The Dark Dragon at Twenty-Seven...

In terms of mental development, they are probably similar to a seven or eight-year-old human child.

You're welcome.

So cute.

Those who draw this type of book should be electrocuted!

Just as Ivia was thinking to herself, the little dragon had already brought the juice to the maid.

He glanced at the nun photo booklet in her hand, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

"Cough cough!"
