A Dragon against the Whole World

Chapter 441: Chapter 336: Golden Dragon: If I Ever Meet a Descendant of Gorsas...

”Uh... wait, the root of this curse is quite stubborn, like the dying struggle of some powerful evil entity. I’m afraid it’s difficult to completely remove it in one go.”

”However, with my power, I can at least significantly weaken its effects.”

”We can take it slow, in several steps, and we’ll eventually resolve it completely. The innate ability of the Holy Dragon to purify evil is something you can fully trust.”

As a symbol of order and justice, the Holy Dragon indeed has a natural advantage in purifying curses and combating evil.

Galos’ response was simple and direct, ”No need.”

Feeling the weak and unstable aura from Red Iron Dragon, Alberto was filled with doubt. He had an illusion that Galos didn’t seem to reject the curse and even regarded it as something beneficial.

”Could it be that the curse is too intense and has already affected his mind, preventing him from making the right judgment?”

”Perhaps I can first purify a part of it for him to regain clarity, and then discuss reducing the treatment costs afterwards.”

Thinking so, Alberto slightly lifted one of his front claws, focusing Holy Oath Energy at the tip.

He prepared to cast a small-scale Purification Technique targeted at the head of the Red Iron Dragon.

At that moment, he suddenly met Galos’ deep-set eyes.

”What do you intend to do?”

Galos asked.

Hearing the calm inquiry, Alberto shuddered violently, alarms sounding in his mind.

He had an incredibly strong intuition that if he really cast that Purification Technique on Galos at this moment, regardless of his intentions, the outcome for himself might be very unpleasant.

So, after a brief moment of contemplation, he continued to lift his dragon claw but dispersed the purification energy, scratching the base of his prominent dragon horn.

”Nothing, just been flying for a long time, my dragon horn is a bit itchy, just needed a scratch.”

Alberto said naturally.

Galos glanced up and down at the Golden Dragon, seeing through his thoughts but not exposing them.

He said, ”This curse, I have my own use for it. However, I am indeed in a very weakened state because of it and the intense training that just ended.”

Before he finished speaking, Alberto immediately shook his head like a rattle drum.

”Stop! I came today just to repay part of my debt, my purpose is very simple, nothing more, absolutely no interest in taking this opportunity to challenge you, not in the slightest!”

He did indeed feel Galos’ current weakness.

If it were in the past, with his competitive nature, he might impulsively challenge him.

But the current Alberto had already made up his mind to endure until after the next slumber, when his strength would further improve, to take revenge.

Before that, no matter how ’tempting’ Galos’ condition seemed, he absolutely wouldn’t take the bait.

Moreover, he had a faint feeling.

Even if Galos appeared weak, it seemed there might be something incredibly powerful lurking inside him.

Moving recklessly, the outcome would be unpredictable.

Across from him, seeing the bait to provoke a fight had failed, Galos smoothly changed the topic, asking, ”Where did you get these gemstone ores from? With the meager output of your territory, it shouldn’t be able to support this quantity and quality.”

Mentioning the source of the gemstones, Alberto’s spirit instantly lifted!

He raised his chin again, regaining that noble and dignified posture, his golden pupils flashing with a light of wisdom.

”Don’t easily forget my identity—I’m a Golden Dragon revered by countless intelligent beings!”

”I just need to gracefully display my form over those human outposts, and naturally, there will be people rushing to present gifts, hoping to exchange for my blessing or a symbolic promise of protection.”

Previously, the experience of working in the Ximu Territory for Galos unexpectedly gave Alberto inspiration.

After a few cautious attempts, he discovered a way of making money that was truly profitable without any capital.

For the human realms committed to the Order Faction, a Golden Dragon willing to display a friendly stance is, to some extent, a symbol of good fortune and power, significantly boosting morale and public confidence.

Based on this.

Alberto began selectively visiting some human duchies on the edge of the Sel Wilderness, and even border outposts of kingdoms.

He would choose to hover in the air under the watch of many guards, or land in conspicuous spots, delivering some grand-sounding blessing speeches, such as ’May the light of order protect this place’ or ’Evil will surely retreat’, reassuring the guards.

This was almost a profitless trade.

Just needed to show up and say a few pretty words.

And with the wilderness growing increasingly chaotic, and various evil creatures becoming more rampant, Alberto was continuously fulfilling the Holy Dragon’s duty of punishing evil, destroying evil lairs, and driving away ferocious monsters, not only gaining fame but also seizing quite a bit of ill-gotten wealth from enemy hideouts.

With both approaches, Alberto’s wealth accumulation pace finally began to steadily increase.

”At this rate, it won’t be long before I completely repay all my debts to you.”

Golden Dragon Alberto said with no small amount of pride, admittedly not really knowing why it was something to be proud of, but his tone was indeed quite smug.

Galos didn’t comment on this, just nodded slightly, as a small encouragement.

It wouldn’t be so simple to repay his debt.
