Chapter 245: Lance, Targeted by the Three-headed Demon Dragon_2
If you press it many times and there's no response, then he's dead. Dig a hole and bury him.
The vampire had a large bump on her head.
The young dragon closed her eyes and gritted her teeth, pressing down hard on the large bump on Tiji's head.
"Ah!!! It hurts so much!!!"
Tiji, who had passed out, was instantly awakened by the pain. After waking up, she rolled back and forth on the ground in pain.
From time to time, she would even lie on the ground and continuously pound the ground with her hands.
Having grown up, she hadn't suffered such serious injuries in a long time.
It was killing her.
As a princess of The Blood Clan, the hit from the amethyst young dragon's hammer wasn't enough to take her life, but it really hurt....
Demon Suman standing nearby was flabbergasted.
She never imagined that the young dragon would use such a method to wake Tiji up; it was too cruel....
However, the young dragon's behavior reminded her of Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance.
Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance seemed to be an impartial and upright member of the Demon Race, but in reality, he was ruthless and cunning....
The amethyst young dragon's action earlier... was somewhat sly.
"I was only trying to scare you, how could you take it seriously?!"
"I was scared.... Your eyes were emitting a crimson light, and you looked so thirsty for blood.... You even opened your mouth and lunged at me.... I grabbed the hammer subconsciously to protect myself...."
The young dragon had already run several meters away from Tiji and took out Thor's Hammer from the Lucky Coin she had stored it in....
She was afraid that vampire Tiji would turn violent and bite her....
"You hit me with a hammer, and you're not going to apologize?!"
"I'm sorry, very sorry."
"If sorry was useful, what would we need judges for? If you really feel sorry, then give me that hammer in your hand."
"No! I can't give you this!"
The young dragon held onto the Thunder Hammer tightly.
The Thunder Hammer was a gift from Thunder Dragon Erinna, and she couldn't give it to a vampire.
It was clear that the vampire was trying to trick her out of the Thunder Hammer.
She wasn't stupid.
Besides, she was only protecting herself.
Evil Dragon Lance had said, there's nothing wrong with self-defense!
"I'm apologizing because I used too much strength when I hit you with the hammer, not because I did something wrong.
The wrong one is you, you tried to suck my blood as soon as you entered the door."
"???"
She looked so clueless, so why wasn't she acting clueless now?
She was bullied by Lance in her childhood and now she got hit by an amethyst young dragon related to Lance as a grown-up...
Detestable!
Tiji rose from the ground, placed her right hand on the bump on her head, and a blood-red miniature array instantly formed in her hand.
She pressed down slowly, and the bump on her head disappeared at a visible speed, until it was completely gone.
Blood Healing Technique.
A small spell that Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance had reverse-engineered which could be used to treat injuries.
"Suman, I think this young dragon is too dangerous. I suggest you imprison her and interrogate her harshly."
"You scared her first."
Tiji rolled her eyes and looked at the young dragon: "Alright, alright, put away that crappy hammer of yours. I don't fancy it. As a princess of The Blood Clan, I certainly don't covet a broken hammer like yours."
She said she didn't want it, but in truth, Tiji really wanted it.
A hammer that could knock her out with one hit was certainly no ordinary hammer.
It must have been given to the young dragon by Lance.
That damn Lance, always bribing her with candy when she was a child, he had never given her a powerful weapon.
It's not fair!
The young dragon stashed the hammer into the Lucky Coin, as she also feared that the vampire Tiji might take advantage of her inattention to snatch her hammer away.
There were still quite a few items inside the Lucky Coin that she could use to defend herself.
She wasn't afraid.
"I've stored it, don't bite me."
"Won't bite you."
Tiji's gaze lingered on the Lucky Coin at the young dragon's chest, which she hadn't noticed before, but now realised that the coin hanging there was none other than the Lucky Goddess Coin.
This kind of coin was considered an ancient type even in the Human World.
There were rumors that such coins could bring good luck to a person.
"Young dragon, I have here an ancient Spatial Ring exclusively for The Blood Clan, and it's full of good stuff. There are even a few enchanted weapons inside that are on par with your Thunder Hammer. How about... we swap our Spatial Rings?"
"I refuse."
The young dragon tucked the Lucky Coin into her clothing, realizing that vampires, these types of demons, were indeed cunning, attempting to deceive her of both Thor's Hammer and her Lucky Coin.
The Lucky Coin was a gift from the Evil Dragon, and having worn it for so long, she had become attached to it.
Besides, she was the Imperial Princess; she didn't lack money, so why would she covet the vampire's Spatial Ring?
Once she returned to the Human World and became the Emperor of the Phalan Empire, she'd have everything she wanted. Perhaps she could even accrue a substantial amount of wealth for the Evil Dragon, ensuring his inheritance.
"It's a bit hard to deceive you, huh? Well, to be accurate, you're not greedy enough. If you were, I'd have a chance to deceive you or make a deal with you."
The corners of Suman's mouth twitched ever so slightly; making deals with the intelligent beings of the Human World was something that their Demon Race enjoyed.
The Blood Clan... still preferred to taste the blood of intelligent beings and to develop their thralls.
"Relax, I mean you no harm. The air here isn't too pleasant; let's leave this place. I'll take you outside for a walk and show you around the Black Forbidden City, tell you the history of this city.

Suman probably hasn't told you about the origins of this city, has he?"
The young dragon shook her head, for Demon Suman hadn't shared the story, only some precautions she needed to be aware of.
Suman had warned her that when walking through The Abyss, one should not readily believe anything said by members of the Demon Race.
"Then I'll show you around the city and invite you to try the culinary delights of the Black Forbidden City."
The young dragon looked at Suman.
"Come on, if she doesn't come along, I was planning to familiarize you with the Black Forbidden City anyway. For the foreseeable future, you'll probably be staying in The Abyss.
As for the Human World, you likely won't be able to return there for a while."
The young dragon pouted; she definitely didn't want to stay in The Abyss forever. The Evil Dragon would surely come to look for her.
Demon Suman and the Blood Clan's Tiji escorted the young dragon out of the interrogation room.
Upon leaving the interrogation room, Tiji started to explain the origins of the Black Forbidden City to the young dragon.
The Black Forbidden City began construction 100 years after the Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance disappeared.
Constructed simultaneously with the Black Forbidden City were three other cities; after the completion of these four cities, they came to be known as the Four Great Forbidden Cities.
The Four Forbidden Cities were born out of the Dark Magic Dragonkin, and they collected all the information about Lance within their walls.
Through conversation, the young dragon learned that the demons residing in the Four Forbidden Cities had all, in one way or another, come into contact with Lance.
The first generation of demons who set up stalls selling food in the city once paid a hefty tuition fee to Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance.
"Young dragon, see that Stone Demon selling skewers on the left side of the street? His ancestor spent a thousand Magic Gold to learn the art of skewer-making from Lance, perfectly inheriting Lance's skill. Over several generations of Stone Demons, their skewer flavor has indeed become better than the original.
It did come at a great cost though; in order to enhance the taste of their skewers, the family sought out magical condiments to improve the flavor, leading to some being poisoned and others disappearing...."
"And that Red Bull Demon selling grilled meat, his ancestor learned grilling from Lance, and because he was slow to learn, he paid a tuition of three thousand Magic Gold.... Fortunately, he eventually mastered Lance's grilling techniques. After generations of refinement, their grilled meat has also become unparalleled.
There are branches of their grill in all four of the Forbidden Cities."
"You see those Brocade Guards patrolling the streets? Their ancestors were Brocade Guards under Lance's command. My Sister Wang once said... at the height of Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance's power, when he was most ambitious, he declared in front of his confidants that he would one day join the ranks of the Abyss Royal Family.
Unfortunately, his arrogance got the better of him, and he was disciplined by several of the old monsters from the great Royal Families for a while, and then, not long after, he disappeared.
He never reappeared in The Abyss after that. Later, my Sister Wang told me that those ambitions were just a front, meant to bamboozle those in the Royal Families."
The young dragon listened with keen interest, imagining the Evil Dragon having a grand time in The Abyss back in the day.
Alas, she wondered what the Evil Dragon was up to now and whether he was coming to find her in The Abyss.
.....
The Evil Dragon Lance had caught the eye of a Demon King-level Three-headed Demon Dragon from The Abyss.
