Big Capitalist

Selene breathed a sigh of relief, finally feeling the energy in her heart flowing smoothly. She said to Merlin, "I leave it to you," and withdrew from the possession state.

Merlin took control of his body again and was about to speak when a wave of soreness and swelling came over him like a tide. He couldn't help but let out a cry and fell directly to the ground.

The muscles all over my body seemed to be stretched to the limit, and the tingling sensation was like being stabbed by countless needles, which was really unbearable.

Seeing this, Selene said with a hint of sarcasm: "You collapsed at this little pain? Can you do it, little dog?"

Merlin hugged himself tightly with his arms and said through gritted teeth: "Is this a little pain?"

Selene explained, "Don't worry, this is a good thing for you. I helped you stretch your body during the battle. Once you recover, your physical fitness will become even stronger, and your flexibility will be greatly improved."

Merlin said unhappily, "Should I thank you?"

Selene replied without hesitation: "You're welcome."

Merlin endured the pain and slowly stood up.

He looked at Scarlett, who was lying on the ground, still in her dragon-human form. He walked over, squatted beside her, and asked, "Um, Estelle, right? Tell me who you are and why you used Scarlett's body to attack me. Let's have a good chat."

Astrid said helplessly, "It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. Hey, have you become that useless person again?"

Merlin felt his fist harden when he heard this, and snorted coldly: "Shut up, I was the one who beat you up just now. If I'm a loser, you're even more useless than me!"

Selene said "Pooh" and called Merlin shameless.

Astrid wanted to explain that it wasn't the case, but when she saw Merlin's clenched fists, she swallowed the words back.

Then she coughed and said, "Um, can you let me sit up?"

Merlin waved his hand casually, and Astrid immediately sat up straight with a somersault.

"Huh, I haven't fought with anyone in a while. This time it was really enjoyable. Your name is Merlin, right? Scarlett told me that you must be a good person."

"What's wrong with Scarlett!" Merlin asked anxiously.

"She's fine, don't worry, I just borrowed her body for a while."

Merlin urged, "Tell me what's going on."

Astrid began to explain, "Let me introduce myself again. My name is Astrid, and I'm Scarlett's... well, as you humans would call her, sister-in-law."

"Sister-in-law? Wait a minute, you are a dragon, right?" Merlin asked doubtfully.

Astrid nodded and said, "Yes, I am an emerald dragon from the green dragon family. You know Ysera, she is my mother and the goddess of dreams."

When Merlin heard this, his attitude instantly softened.

There is no way. There is a real god behind this guy. It would be terrible if the dream god comes to cause trouble when he is sleeping.

However, Merlin couldn't help but admire Scarlett's father. Being able to become a real dragon knight means he has a bright future.

No wonder Scarlett can transform into a dragon-human. She has the blood of a dragon flowing in her body, and her grandfather is a demigod. She inherited the blood of the gods of the human race and the blood of the dragon with divinity. No wonder she is so fierce.

Astrid took a deep breath and said slowly, "This matter is related to your ancestors."

Merlin pointed at himself in confusion and asked, "My ancestors?"

Astrid nodded solemnly and said, "Indeed, this story begins hundreds of years ago. Back then, a genius human named Andersen Leo stepped into the Dream Dragon Valley. Andersen possessed the blood of the God of War and was incredibly powerful. Shortly after entering the Dragon Valley, he encountered my brother, a giant emerald dragon in danger. Andersen didn't hesitate to help and successfully saved my brother."

"In the days that followed, Andersen and my brother gradually got to know each other and embarked on many adventures together. Together they traveled through mysterious forests, explored ancient ruins, and faced all kinds of hardships and dangers together."

"As they fought side by side time and time again, they established an incredibly deep friendship."

"My brother introduced him to me. At first, I was very fond of Andersen, so I invited him to visit my home."

"At first, everything seemed like a dream. Andersen's kindness and wisdom in the Dragon Valley won everyone's love. Even his mother, Ysera, recognized this human and treated him as an honored guest."

"However, all this is just a disguise of that despicable Andersen."

Having said this, Astrid's eyes turned red, and she gritted her teeth, wishing she could tear Andersen into pieces.

"After gaining my mother's approval, Andersen became a distinguished guest in the Dream Dragon Valley, free to enter and exit anywhere. This was exactly his original goal. In fact, the danger my brother encountered at the beginning was not an accident at all, but was orchestrated by Andersen. He schemed meticulously just to gain the authority to [enter dreams]."

Merlin couldn't help but interrupt and asked, "What is the so-called authority to enter dreams?"

Astrid explained, "Mother, as the Oneiroi Goddess, maintains order in the dream world. The power to [Enter Dreams] is the power of the fragments of the rules controlled by the Oneiroi Goddess. With this ability, one can invade the dream world at any time and anywhere. One can even enter the dreams of others or their descendants through the lingering aura of an individual or one's own bloodline."

Merlin instantly thought of the strange dream he had had before, and his heart shuddered.

He then asked, "Since it is the power of the Dream God, it must be very difficult to obtain. How did Andersen seize it?"

Astrid was filled with grief and indignation. She said, "To allow my siblings to better experience the power of the rules, Mother injected fragments of the power of the 'Rule of Dreams' into each of us. After Andersen learned this from the recording slate in the Dream Dragon Valley, he set his evil target on my brother. To gain the authority to [enter dreams], he brutally murdered my brother and ruthlessly seized the power of the fragments of the rules!"

Estrade's eyes were filled with hatred as she continued, "After Andersen killed her brother, my mother was furious upon learning the news. She swore to tear the damned man into pieces and make him pay a heavy price for his evil deeds. Our entire dragon clan went out in force, frantically searching every corner of the Azer Continent for Andersen. However, it was all in vain. He seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, completely vanishing from the Azer Continent, as if he had never existed in the past."
