Overlord: Start from the Goblin Lair.

Chapter 62 The Name of the Dragon
This time it was the Black Dragon's turn to be surprised: "It's over, what else do you want to hear?"

"I thought dragons usually had...longer and more complicated names," Ivy looked down at him with a complicated expression, "a long string of names, you know."

"Shouldn't the dragon race have a real name like that?" Victoria was also puzzled. "Both Tiamat and the Lord of the North Wind are extremely powerful beings. Our scholars say that there is a magical power in your blood and name, allowing you to surpass other mortal races..."

Axuri sneezed, "I don't know what you are talking about. Why does it have to be a long name?"

"Some dragons may choose to add the names of their ancestors, the titles they have earned, and the names of their territories to their names, but I am only eight years old, I have never seen my parents, and I have already added the name of this place to my name - what else do you want to hear?"

"As for your scholars, although they are certainly much older than I am, I can tell you clearly: a name is just a code name. It is the same for dragons, humans, elves, and goblins. The name itself does not have any special power."

"Power only comes from the owner of the name. For example, if I say the name of Bahamut, the Lord of the North Wind, he may hear it and lock my location directly, but this is definitely not because I called his real name. Bahamut, the Platinum Dragon, the Lord of the North Wind, the King of Good Dragons... or I call him the Lord of Hypocrisy, Bamhat, the hypocritical platinum lizard - it's just a metaphor, I hope he doesn't mind - anyway, as long as my name is directed to him, he will sense it, and it is definitely not because his name itself has any special power."

"The significance of a true name is the same as an index in a library or a table of contents in a book. It can help others clearly identify the target. If you are very familiar with a book, just saying 'that page' can have the same effect."

"I heard that some evil creatures might curse you from a distance just because they know your name..." Ron thought about it. He must have heard of such an existence or spell.

"That's because their spellcasting itself has the power of a curse, but the success rate and power will increase as their knowledge of the target is strengthened." Although Exuri claimed to be only eight years old, as a dragon, it obviously has a level of intelligence and understanding that exceeds that of ordinary people. "For example, if I want to cast a curse on you - of course I can't do it now, and I won't do it - if I only know that you are a male human, you may only have a little bit of bad luck, such as waking up to find that your horn is not as shiny as before, or kicking off a piece of mud on the bed."

Ron: "I don't have that possibility!"

"Just an analogy: if I knew your name, you would choke on your mouthwash or bite your tongue when you cast a spell."

"And if I even get your hair or nails, it will be even more unfortunate; if I get your flesh and blood or even a part of your soul, this curse may cause you to die instantly."

"You see, the so-called true name is not as mysterious as you spread. It's just that the dragon race is naturally stronger than you, so your scholars hope to find some reasons to explain it so that they and their peers can be psychologically balanced."

Everyone immediately felt that what Aikthuri said was right, because now they really felt the imbalance!
"Okay, I think I have answered your questions. Shouldn't you introduce yourselves?" Exure dug a mud pit on the ground and lay down comfortably. "I am very interested in knowing what kind of people my neighbors are."

"Ron, I'm a human, currently the leader of a team of pioneers. Some disasters happened in the north, so we hope to settle down in Delusion and find a place to stand." Ron briefly introduced himself and his companions.

"This is Ivy. From my perspective, her race is half-elf, and she's from Rose City."

"I've heard of it!" Exure said, "My 'teacher' told me about it. He said he really liked to drink in a tavern there, and the spices there are also very famous."

"It feels great to hear a real dragon praising his hometown here," Ivy smiled lightly, "You are welcome to visit me if you have the chance. My family happens to run a tavern." "This is Driver. As you can see, he is a goblin and an experienced hunter."

"The goblins once had a glorious past. I'm glad to see you return to the embrace of civilization." Aikthuri grinned as if he was laughing. No matter what race these creatures in front of him were, there was not much difference to him.

Better than beasts, fishes, and fenmaws, but worse than dragons.

"Her name is Sera, and she comes from the Ochre Tribe in the north. I believe you have just seen her bravery."

"Indeed." Ex-Zuri looked at the sturdy woman with curiosity in his eyes. "You are from the north? Have you seen my white dragon cousins? What do they look like? Compared with me?"

"I haven't seen this," Sera scratched her head embarrassedly, "but I have seen a huge frost giant from a distance."

"Ha, those big fools," Exure seemed to frown, "The disgust in my blood makes me uncomfortable, let's not talk about them."

"And then there's this one, she's Victoria, our pastor."

“The followers of the Vigilant,” Victoria added, “are pleased to hear that you are willing to follow in the footsteps of the Lord of the North Wind.”

"It's not possible not to follow..." Aikzuri sighed, "My 'teacher' will be unhappy."

It seems that the "teacher" left a deep psychological trauma on the young black dragon.

"In addition, we now have a trading post, a village, and a goblin territory," Ron added, "all on the edge of the Delusion Land, and we haven't had time to explore them in depth."

"I see. These are the creatures I saw. You killed the Lizardmen and the Bullywugs, which saved You a lot of work." Aik'Zuri nodded.

"I will be careful and try not to eat your people. Please forgive me if I accidentally hurt anyone. Although I have begun to worship the platinum dragon, I can't change the diet in a short time."

"Besides, I'm still young and growing."
