You, a dragon, are farming in hell.

Chapter 26 The Headless Horseman!

Does this wretched dragon even know the value of the lich?

The value of a lich is not measured by its combat strength, but by its knowledge reserves!

The longer a lich lives, the more knowledge he accumulates and the more he understands.

Sending liches into battle is a waste and a devaluation of their worth.

"It was just a casual remark, no need to get so worked up. I'm not that easily frightened by a caravan."

Diding glanced at the lich Bryan, then flapped his wings and soared into the sky, a few strands of lightning sliding down onto the lich Bryan's body as his dragon wings flapped.

The lich Brian, standing atop the bone tower, danced around for a while.

It was intentional!

The evil dragon Destin did it on purpose!

The Lich Brian roared.

But Destin had already turned into a small black dot and disappeared into the horizon.

Upon returning to his territory, Diding took Sophia directly to his dragon's lair and had her read books there.

He then walked to the area where the tree roots were placed, glanced at the seeds inside, and saw that they had sprouted.

They can be transplanted into the ground now.

Sophia wasn't reading; her gaze was drawn to a fist-sized, milky-white crystal above the tree roots.

That's... a crystal of light?!

How could a dark place like Hell, filled with necromantic energy, possibly contain a light-attribute magic crystal like the 'Light Crystal'?!

It was actually a piece of bright crystal the size of a fist.

In the Kingdom of Roland, the Light Crystal is a rare and highly sought-after magic crystal with light attributes.

This type of crystal is generally only possessed by clergy members of churches.

In the capital, she had seen church clergy use a small crystal, about the size of a thumbnail, as a light source.

That tiny bit of light crystal directly illuminated the church hall.

The church clergy told her that the Bright Crystal could also purify evil spirits and dispel coldness.

The Radiant Crystal, which was considered extremely rare and sought-after by the clergy of the Kingdom of Roland, was actually the size of a fist by the dragon Diding!

If she could bring this fist-sized crystal of light back to the North, wouldn't the clergy of the Northern Church kneel down and call her "Holy Maiden" on the spot?

"Lord Distin, that's a Light Crystal, isn't it? Why would there be Light Attribute Magic Crystals in Hell?"

"These crystals are found in the deepest part of the lava lake, and I occasionally go down and retrieve a few pieces."

"?"

Deep within a lava lake?

Sophia was stunned. She didn't even dare to touch the surface of the lava lake, let alone dive into its depths to retrieve the Bright Crystal.

Could it be that Lord Destin, the dragon, actually planted a sun deep within the lava lake?

Otherwise, how could there be luminous crystals deep within the lava lake?

"You want it?"

Sophia shook her head. "It's too expensive, and besides, I don't need it."

"The seeds have sprouted; we'll transplant them into the ground later."

"?"

It's sprouted?!

Sofia was taken aback. Wasn't it placed in that tree root containing vital energy just last night to be nurtured?

It sprouted after only one day?

That's way too fast!

If she could master this technology, wouldn't she be able to harvest two or even three crops a year in the North?!

It doesn't seem to work...

The reason the seeds were able to germinate so quickly is because Lord Destin nurtured them with tree roots rich in life energy.

She couldn't do something so extravagant.

Even if she had tree roots brimming with life force, she would never use them to cultivate seeds.

Because in the human world, such behavior is like losing the watermelon to pick up a sesame seed.

Tree roots brimming with vitality are far more valuable than seeds.

Only a dragon like Diding, who eats the roots of the Tree of Life as food, could do something so wasteful.

After all, the fine haystacks that Lord Destin the dragon used to make his bed were also made from tree roots that contained rich life energy.

"Stop spacing out, come in."

"?"

While Sophia was still in a daze, a transparent glass bottle appeared in front of her, containing green liquid. It was the same glass bottle from last night!

She glanced at her soul form instinctively; it hadn't become transparent, so it didn't need any treatment at all.

"I don't think I need treatment..."

"It's training the strength of your soul. With your current soul strength, a single fireball spell would render you unable to even remain a ghost."

"..."

I'm not a real ghost! I can still come back to life! Can you please stop training the strength of my soul?

Sophia wailed silently, and then, under the watchful gaze of the dragon Diding, she reluctantly stepped into the glass bottle.

"Lord Didstin, are you using lightning to strike me? To strengthen my soul?"

"right."

A bolt of purplish-blue lightning struck Sophia, who convulsed and fell into the soothing liquid.

The process was similar to last night, except the color of the lightning changed. Last night it was purplish-red lightning, and tonight it was bluish-purple lightning.

After being struck by lightning six or seven times, Sophia finally absorbed all the effects of the tranquilizing liquid in the bottle.

As Sophia stepped out of the bottle, she exhaled a puff of smoke. Was this the price she paid for stealing dragon dung?

She'll have to steal dragon dung later, there's no way around it, because she wants to be the queen of the Kingdom of Roland.

Diding examined Sophia's soul and, confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, took her away from the dragon's lair and to the black earth.

Sofia squatted on the black soil, holding a small shovel, digging holes and transplanting sprouted seeds into them.

Watermelons are planted in a field.

The strawberries were planted in a field.

Tomatoes and potatoes are planted in the same field.

The sunflowers were planted in a field.

She couldn't tell the difference between watermelon seedlings and strawberry seedlings, but the dragon Destin could and even taught her how to distinguish between different types of seedlings.

Is that correct?

It's normal for a princess not to recognize different seedlings.

Why would the dragon Destin, who has never been to the human world and has always stayed in hell, know all sorts of creatures?

Watering the sprouting seeds is also very simple. The dragon Diding places a dragon finger above the sprouting seeds, and water droplets drip from his fingertip onto the black soil.

"Um... Lord Distin, do you still want this piece of tree root used to cultivate the seeds?"

After transplanting all the sprouted seeds into the black soil, Sofia's gaze fell on a tree root that was several meters long.

If Lady Destin doesn't want these tree roots that have been used to cultivate seeds, she'll have to shamelessly beg for them.

This thing is probably no different from garbage in Lord Destin's eyes.

But if she were to bring it to the human world, she would dare to sell a tree root the size of a thumb for a gold coin!

At this price, adventurers, mercenaries, and mages from the North would scramble to buy it!

Even if the life essence of this tree root is not as concentrated as the one that the dragon Diding gave her before, it can definitely be sold!

"It's yours."

"Thank you, Lord Diding!"

Sophia happily stored the tree roots used to cultivate the seeds into her spatial dragon scales.

As she straightened up and patted the black soil off her hands, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a nightmare beast appearing behind the dragon Distin.

It was a unicorn whose entire body was engulfed in blood-red flames.

On horseback... there's a... headless rider emitting black smoke...?!
