The Lord of the Rings: Lords of Middle-earth.

"God! My God! Dragon God above!" Roland frantically searched through a pile of books for the damned "Little Fire Dragon Selling Girls" series described by the system.

"Where did it go?" Roland searched.

"Hmm... Dragon Girl's Eighteen Touches... Ouch! That's great! I'll study it carefully tonight!"

"Uh... what's this? Good heavens! That's some fancy stuff! I'm impressed! Truly befitting a nobleman... Is it normal for a viscount to ride four dragons? Ah!"

"The Untold Story of the Duke and the Lord's Wife?"

"...Customs and traditions of women in mainland China..."

"System...you came here specifically to give me a dirty look, didn't you?" Roland was so engrossed in looking at her that he suddenly snapped out of it. How could a dignified and capable king be so easily distracted by beauty?
Roland now suspects that this system used to be a place that sold miracle oils and ran lavish parties...

……

"Hey girl, come here and help me find two books!" Roland pulled Nyx over.

"Oh dear, why are you in such a hurry? What happened?" Nyx looked at Roland with a puzzled expression. She rubbed her hand, which had been pulled red by Roland's forceful grip, and her eyes showed a hint of grievance and confusion.

"This is it! The Charmander series that sells girls!" Roland waved the book in his hand. The ancient pages exuded a worn smell, and no one knew when these books came from.

"That's it?" Nyx rolled his eyes after flipping through it. It was a run-of-the-mill knight novel—the story of an ordinary knight who succeeds in becoming a dragon knight through his own efforts.

"Hmm, take a look at this!" Roland took out the dragon egg that seemed to have a trace of life.

"What is this?" Nyx was stunned, looking at Roland as he pulled out the big, round egg, somewhat at a loss.

"Hmm? This is a dragon egg? Where did it come from?" Nyx then examined the dragon egg in front of her more closely. As for how she could tell it was a dragon egg, it was because it exuded a faint but pure dragon aura!

"A pureblood dragon! What a pity it's dead..." Nyx's expression was somewhat grim, and she felt a pang of regret. If it had been a hatchable dragon egg, Nyx would have risked her life to hatch it, so that her husband might have become a dragon knight.

"Don't be discouraged! This thing was made in the Misty Mountains. It was a completely dead egg back then, but now it has regained some vitality." Roland tapped Nyx on the head, and Nyx squinted and shrank his neck.

"Let's find those two missing books. Maybe we can find a way to restore the dragon eggs to life in them!" Roland said softly.

"You haven't been scammed, have you..." Nyx looked at Roland, who was engrossed in his work, with some doubt.

"I'll help you find it, and you'll know when the time comes!" Roland glanced back at Nyx, then casually patted her pert buttocks before continuing to search through the sea of ​​books.

“Um…this…” Nyx blushed and picked up a book, which contained an erotic picture. Nyx quickly put down the book and picked up the next one.

"This is... Waaah... You scoundrel!" Nyx's pink fist, wrapped in frost, slammed hard into Roland's back. Even though she didn't use much force, Roland's blood and qi churned.

Roland collapsed to the ground, his limbs twitching. He looked up at Nyx with a mournful expression, wondering what he had done to offend this woman. "I didn't offend you, did I? Are you trying to murder your husband?" Roland said helplessly.

"Tell me! Why do you have so many books?" Nyx said, throwing the things she was holding at Roland's feet in frustration.

Roland picked it up and took a look. Good heavens... isn't this the art of the bedroom? Roland's eye twitched. Don't worry, it's nothing serious. Besides, seeing the illustrations, he couldn't help but want to examine it more closely.

“…Just be normal!” Nyx rubbed her temples helplessly. She felt that if her husband continued like this, he would be ruined.

"Listen to my excuses... no! Explain! This..." Roland was speechless with frustration. When the system gave him the sign-in reward, it didn't specify what kind of book it was! It just glossed over things like what kind of fighting stance it was, and Roland hadn't looked closely... otherwise, why would it be displayed so openly? Wouldn't it have been better to admire it in private?

"Thud!" Nyx accidentally bumped into the corner of the table, and the table tipped over at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Damn it! These people are so unreliable! They even cut corners on the table, giving it a limp leg... Huh?" Roland pulled out two books from under the table to prop up the legs.

Upon unfolding the package, Roland was astonished to find that it was selling Charmander 7 and 12 for girls! Roland's expression immediately became quite interesting.

"Hahaha! I've been searching high and low, but it's right here in my sight! You're such a lucky star, girl!" Roland excitedly hugged Nyx and couldn't help but kiss her forehead.

"Take a look, I hope it helps you." Nyx wasn't annoyed, and after kissing Roland, she urged him softly.

“Okay!” Roland nodded excitedly.

"1, 2, 3..." Roland carefully placed all the books in order, thirteen in total. He hoped there wouldn't be a fourteenth, otherwise Roland really wouldn't be able to keep track of them all...

"Congratulations, host, on successfully collecting the entire 'The Little Dragon Who Sells Girls' series! Reward: Partial restoration of the life force of the mysterious dragon egg! Next stage mission: Unlock the secret within the book! Mission reward: Partial restoration of the life force of the mysterious dragon egg!"

The fifteen books laid out on the table were now slowly emitting a soft glow. A ray of light slowly condensed on thirteen of the books, and the thirteen rays of light gradually intertwined, swirling around the dragon egg under the curious gazes of Roland and Nyx, before slowly disappearing into the dragon egg...

The two exchanged a glance. They could clearly feel that the life force inside the egg had increased even more. Moreover, this time the dragon egg no longer felt like stone; the entire eggshell had a smooth, jade-like appearance.

"Wow! Is this a real dragon egg? It feels so nice to touch!" Nyx gently stroked the dragon egg that had regained some of its vitality.

"Roland, is he alive?" Nyx raised her pretty face, and her bright and charming face stirred Roland's heart.

"Not yet. Although it has regained some vitality, it is still essentially a dead egg... It can't hatch!" Roland affectionately ruffled Nyx's hair.

"Ugh...so pitiful..." Nyx pouted, looking quite pitiful.

"It's alright, I'll look more carefully! Let's see if I can find any useful clues!" Roland comforted him. Through the mission issued by this unreliable system, he could clearly sense that this chivalric novel might have some connection with this dragon egg.
