Chapter 243: No Such Demon Found! Xiyah Might Be Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance!_2
They might end up being wanted…
"Your name is Tiji?"
"Mhm."
Was she really that little vampire from back then who tricked him into giving her candy?
Indeed, a woman changes eighteen times between childhood and womanhood.
At just a glance, one would never imagine that this girl dressed in a crimson red leather outfit was that same mischievous vampire girl from years past.
Luckily, he hadn't used the name Lance; had he mentioned that name just now, she might have immediately made the connection to that Black Magic Dragonfolk from years ago who gave her lollipops, let her turn into a bat... and treated her like a kite in the wind.
Time to go.
The bar didn't have any information on the Dragon Whelp for the time being.
He would take a look outside the city, having the Demon King keep an eye out for the Whelp.
As for Tiji...
It would be better to minimize contact with her.
He drained the wine from his glass in one gulp, and placed the glass on the counter, "I won't be paying for the drink, let's say you treated me to it, farewell little one."
"???"
What was with this overly familiar tone, and this flamboyant act of skipping out on the bill…?
One would think she was well-acquainted with this Dragonborn if they didn't know any better.
"Hey…"
The Blood Clan girl Tiji had just thought to call out to Lance to settle his bill when, in a blink, Lance had vanished outside the door.
Tiji's blood pressure shot up instantaneously; she never said she wanted to treat this Dragonborn to a drink.
If he couldn't pay for his drink, paying with blood was also an option.
Tiji transformed into a pink bat and flew out of the bar.
Lance was attacked.
Just as he was about to leave Heaven City, a group of masked thugs assaulted him.
First, they used Magic Potions, then cast Illusion Techniques, and finally pulled out a black sack, attempting to bag him. Stay updated with My Virtual Library Empire
Those attacking him were a bunch of formidable succubi.
Such an incident would be absurd in the Human World, but in [Heaven City], where succubi were everywhere… it was pretty normal.
Succubi were never innocent little rabbits; they're big bad wolves in rabbits' clothing.
Six succubi attacked him.
But they were already subdued by his fist.
With lightning speed, paired with his Black Dragon Ascension Fist, the six succubi were promptly laid out on the ground, enfeebled.
They still wore masks—Lance nonchalantly removed the mask from one of the succubi, grinned, and put it back on; it was none other than the succubus matron from the meat shop from before.
The other five succubi, he also recognized; they were the proprietresses from the shops on Angel Street.
"You really are lawless, it's not even nightfall yet and you're daring to abduct people in broad daylight. Now, I'm giving you two options: first, being taken to the security office; second, paying a fine to win my forgiveness.
Make your choice."
"Security office…"
"Yes, we'd like to go to the security office."
Lance smiled and cast Levitation Skill on the six enfeebled succubi, taking them outside of Angel City.
They weren't too far from the city gate to start with.
"I think you'd choose to pay me the fine."
"You, you, you… what do you want to do to us?"
"Each of you will pay me a hundred Magic Gold as a fine, and I will not pursue the matter of you attacking me."
"No… no money…"
"Forget it, you don't have to pay me the fine. After returning to the city, the six of you can just cover my bar tab at [Scarlet Sea]."
After releasing the Levitation Skill, Lance looked up at the pink bat perched on the city wall, black wings emerged behind him, and he took flight.
Tiji, having transformed into a bat, glanced at the six succubi below the wall, then at Lance flying away, and reverted back to the Blood Clan girl, leaping from the wall and landing in front of the six succubi.
"I am the owner of the 'Scarlet Sea' Tavern, and the Dragonborn who was just drinking in my tavern owed six Magic Gold for his beverages,"
"Miss Tiji...."
"Pay up. And let me remind you, the Dragonborn you just attacked is a Judge from the Judgment Royal Court."
"???"
What the hell?
Judgment Court Judge?
They had only heard of Judges, not of any Judgment Court Judge.
Does it mean... the Dragonborn they attacked... is actually a person of status and importance?
No wonder he was so charismatic....
It seems their judgment was as sharp as ever....
The six succubi who had attacked Lance obediently gave Tiji six Magic Gold.
The girl in front of them, a member of The Blood Clan, was in fact from the Royal Family....
Only these succubi knew of her true identity.
It was information provided by their superiors, intended to prevent them from unwittingly provoking the royal vampire by accident.
Her words were highly credible.
"Alright, try not to provoke that Dragonborn if you come across him again."
After receiving the payment and warning the six succubi, as the vampire girl Tiji was about to transform into a pink bat and fly away, the projection communicator on her right wrist lit up.
It was her Sister Wang reaching out to her.
Upon answering the projection call, a pair of pink wings spread out from Tiji's back, and as she flapped her wings to fly atop the city wall, the projection on the hovering screen showed a royal figure with a crown, her expression cool and detached.
"Sister Wang, is there something you need?"
"Are you free? If so, make a trip to the Black Forbidden City. A situation has arisen with an Amethyst Young Dragon that fell from the Human World into The Abyss; it landed in the Black Forbidden City... and set fire to Lance's archive."
"Suman suspects that the young dragon might know Lance. Go there and check it out."
"I don't want to go... There are so many humans named Lance, the one she knows... may not be the Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance."
"Suman thought the same at first, but then she remembered something that made her suspect the Amethyst Young Dragon might indeed know the Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance...."
Interested, Tiji sat on the parapet and chuckled, "What happened that made Suman suspect she knows Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance?"
"She had seen a portrait of the Dark Magic Dragonfolk in the interrogation room. Before seeing Lance's portrait, the Amethyst Young Dragon was all meek and afraid of death, but after seeing the portrait of Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance... she completely changed her previous meek behavior...."
Far from being meek, she even boldly told Suman to watch her tone, stating to Suman that... her status might be more formidable than imagined....
These unusual behaviors made Suman suspect the Amethyst Young Dragon might know Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance.
To keep the Amethyst Young Dragon stable, Suman decided not to probe further for the time being and instead appointed the young dragon as her assistant.
She feared that questioning further would make the young dragon resistant, so go and make contact with her.
"When you were young, you used to pester Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance to play with you, and you always traded my lollipops for his attention.
You are somewhat familiar with the Dark Magic Dragonfolk, so interact with the Amethyst Young Dragon a bit... subtly help confirm whether she really knows Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance.
If she truly knows him, then Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance will definitely come to The Abyss to find her."
"Why don't you go yourself?"
"I need to prepare some things. If Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance dares to return, this time I'll make sure he won't leave alive."
"Sister Wang... forget it, I'm afraid you'll be the one at a loss again... after all, you don't like Lance either. Facing that fierce dragon's maw, you can't bring yourself to do it. Biting him, your fangs can't penetrate the dragon scales at his neck....
And the strongest forbidden spell of the Blood Clan that you possess, he learned it just by watching a few times.... alright... I forgot you already have strength near that of a progenitor....
By the way, Sister Wang, I ran into a Judgment Court Judge in Heaven City today, his name is Sia, and he has seen Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance before....
He's a Dragonborn, quite powerful, easily defeated the six succubi who attacked him.... It's strange... I don't think I've ever heard of this Judge named Sia before."
"What did you say?!"
In the projection, the regal vampire princess with the crown and cool expression suddenly stood up, excitement flashing in her crimson eyes.
"You met a Judge named what?"
"Sia... no, Sister Wang, you got so agitated all of a sudden, you scared me. Have you met this Judge named Sia before?"
"There is no such demon! The Dragonborn named Sia you encountered may actually be Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance!"
