Sorry.
This is impossible.
The same move will not work a second time against the human sword master.
"Don't think this trick will work on me, Xia Lulu," Xia Yi sneered, "Didn't you realize that I have quickly accumulated my own prestige in the Dragon Clan Palace."
"Oh? Why didn't I know that?"
"You really are not well-informed, Xia Lulu," Xia Yi said disdainfully, "You don't have any sense of crisis. You might be killed by me at any time... It won't be long before I can compete with you!"
Xia Lulu was trying hard to hold back her laughter, "Are you serious?"
Suddenly, Xia Yi couldn't help it.
Angry!
"Of course. Don't forget what our relationship is. I am very scary now!"
"You mean you've reached your rebellious phase?"
"What rebellious period? I'm not in that period!" Xia Yi denied. "I'm an adult! Let me emphasize again that at my age, I've long passed the rebellious period."
"My daughter, establishing authority is much more difficult than you think."
"Just wait, Xia Lulu, it won't be long before you feel how terrifying I am. I am far beyond your imagination!"
"Like, a particularly picky eater?"
"Well... that doesn't count, I mean other aspects!"
"Then maybe I can look forward to it~"
Xia Lulu's tone was still full of sarcasm, and she wasn't serious at all.
"Hmph, we'll see."
Although she spoke very forcefully, Xia Yi still obediently performed the etiquette of a dragon princess and then left.
As soon as she walked out of the garden, a smile appeared on her face again, full of anticipation.
"Next time... there will actually be a reward!"
……
After seeing his daughter leave, Xia Lulu lowered his eyes, feeling heavy-hearted.
"Black coffin..."
Her expression became gloomy and her eyes were quite complicated.
After that, he got up and left the back garden and went somewhere.
……
“Aiyahhhhhhhhh!!”
In his own magic laboratory, Gran held his head, his scalp tingling.
"Damn it! I don't have enough funds. I can't continue my magic research! I'm just so close, just so close!"
He didn't understand what was going on recently. He never heard of any funding applications for magic research.
This degree is already somewhat abnormal.
Even if I failed several times in the past, Her Majesty the Queen would at least give it a try.
Now it’s totally impossible to pass!
But he didn't dare to go to the Silver Dragon Queen and open it directly.
This has nothing to do with seeking death.
dong dong dong.
There was a knock on the door.
Someone came to disturb him at this time, which made Gran even more annoyed.
"Whoever you are, don't come—"
The door was pushed open, and it was Xia Lulu.
In a very short period of time, Gran performed an extreme face-changing skill.
Clearly he was furious one second, and the next he was smiling brightly, like a blooming chrysanthemum.
"Your Majesty, what wind brings you here? Please come in!"
Grand hurried over to greet him.
Wow, Her Majesty the Queen is visiting in person, we must receive her well, maybe there will be a chance to get the research funding.
Xia Lulu walked in.
She did not tease Grand as she had done in the past, and Grand immediately realized that something was wrong.
As an old official, he was of course able to sense that something serious was happening and quickly put away his smile.
At the same time, he immediately used magic to shroud his room in the problem, preventing others from spying in any way.
"Very clever, Gran," Xia Lulu said indifferently.
"Your Majesty, you must have something very important to tell me."
"Gran, what I want to discuss with you is the black coffin."
"...?!"
Gran's face was horrified and his body began to tremble slightly. He suspected that he had heard it wrongly.
"Your Majesty, are you... serious?"
"of course."
Grand immediately saluted, bent over and half-knelt on the ground.
In the Dragon Kingdom of the past, something happened that made the Silver Dragon Queen furious.
That is the black coffin where someone is buried, and it has disappeared.
This was a situation that absolutely could not be allowed to happen. Xia Lulu was of course furious and ordered an investigation into the matter.
During this period, no suspects or implicated persons were spared, and many dragons were killed.
But in the end, the disappearance of the black coffin remained a mystery and was never resolved.
This is a bloody history that must never be mentioned.
"Your Majesty, are you doubting me?"
"No, Grand, don't be nervous. You have already proved your innocence at that time."
Xia Lulu smiled.
But in this smile, there was only coldness and oppression.
Gran closed his eyes, with only fear and submission in his heart.
If you have experienced that period of time, you will understand why a seemingly young silver dragon can suppress the dragon kingdom full of powerful people.
"Then, Your Majesty, why did you come to see me..."
"The Black Coffin has reappeared in the sea of Gold."
38 Debt Collection (Additional Update)
Gran's eyes were filled with shock, and he even seemed unable to accept the fact.
Because it's simply impossible.
"Your Majesty, is this true? Or is it just a coincidence..."
"Do you know anything about Gold's black tide?" asked Xia Lulu.
Gran shook his head. "I don't know much about the black tide phenomenon in Gold, but I have heard of this disaster that wreaked havoc in Gold. It seems that Her Royal Highness the Princess has solved the black tide?"
"Yes. Currently, only Xia Yi, Sera, and I know the truth about the Black Tide. It must not be spread to anyone else."
"Your Majesty, could the truth behind the black tide be related to the black coffin?"
"The truth behind the Black Tide is the Dragon Curse."
"Could it be that……?!"
Gran reasoned a little further and felt a chill down his spine.
"The Black Tide in Gold is the curse of the dragon race. All the monsters in the Black Tide are half-dragons. They have been infected by the curse of the dragon race. Under the control of a certain will, they have become a collective and act according to the collective's instructions. They harvest lives in Gold and infect all foreign races into half-dragon monsters. They continue to grow stronger and eventually become a disaster that cannot be ignored."
Xia Lulu explained to Gran:
"During this work, Xia Yi found the base of Kuroshio in the depths of the sea. It was an ancient ruins city with a black coffin. In order to achieve a certain purpose, Kuroshio performed sacrificial activities for the black coffin. It's a pity that the ancient ruins city collapsed in the end, and Xia Yi didn't have the opportunity to check the body in the black coffin."
"how come……"
Grand was in a state of great astonishment.
"Gran, what level of dragon curse do you think can achieve this level?"
When Xia Lulu asked this question, Gran already had the answer in his heart.
Only the Dragon King's curse can do this. No matter how powerful ordinary dragons are, the strength of their ability to stop them is limited.
But the dragon clan with royal bloodline is different.
"Could that black coffin belong to someone else?" Xia Lulu asked.
"……No."
Grand lowered his head.
There is no doubt that the black coffin is the black coffin that once disappeared in the Dragon Kingdom.
Now it has appeared in the sea of Gold...
