As a villain, I really don't want to be pursued by the heroine.

But they won in the end.

Nothing is more inspiring than victory.

After a long siege, supplies were no longer abundant, but the Red Castle still indulged itself for a while and held a banquet to celebrate this rare victory.

Although it was called a banquet, even wine and meat were scarce. Both commoners and knights were given only a pitiful amount of bread and pickles.

But even in such difficult circumstances, only the emotion of joy remains forever.

Charlotte Reinhardt proves that slaying a dragon is possible.

The Eclipse King, one of the seven great celestial dragons, fell, and in this desperate war, the balance of victory finally tilted towards humanity.

"Have you seen it all? Your Highness is as mighty as Your Majesty. Just like Your Majesty did back then, she accomplished the feat of slaying the dragon, and will lead us to victory just like Your Majesty did back then!"

"And the Oath Knight, he almost killed the Ice Dragon King before! What a frost dragon, it's no match for our Oath Knight!"

"Long live Her Royal Highness! Long live the Kingdom!"

People raised their glasses and cheered to Princess Feiyan, and the wave of celebration continued for a long time.

On the other side, Roy also checked the gains of this trip.

[Reputation]: Reputation points +5000

[Reputation gain detected, converted into power of faith]

Divinity: 8.5%

[Progress detected in the Fate-Defying Node]

[Reward]: Fate Reversal Point +1

[Lionheart·Defying Fate Progress]: 80%

Although Charlotte was the one who defeated the [Acid-Etched Pterosaur Croline], she kept emphasizing Roy's contribution, and Roy was happy to take advantage of her reputation.

Defeating the seven heavenly dragons did indeed pull the fate of Charlotte, and indeed the entire kingdom, back a big step from the abyss of destruction.

However, Roy could not be as happy as the people and knights under the castle.

The Fate-Defying Node achieves progress, not completion.

This means that new threats will continue to emerge in the short term.

If you think about it carefully, this time the fate-defying node has hardly been interrupted, leaving no room for breathing.

There are only two of the seven heavenly dragons left. The black dragon Nidhoggr, who once dared to challenge the Dragon King, has not appeared yet. Roy dare not take it lightly.

During the banquet, Roy took the time to visit King Robert the Lionheart.

The former king looked much more haggard than he remembered. He was covered in bandages and looked pale. It was obvious that he had not recovered from his injuries. However, his eyes, which were exactly the same as Charlotte's, still burned with the royal spirit and fighting spirit.

"Your Majesty, I'm so glad to see you're safe and sound."

"You little brat, there's no one else here, why are you being so polite to me? I told you, just call me uncle."

After a round of laughter and scolding, Rob looked out the window at the grand scene of toasting and feasting, and couldn't help but feel a little relieved: "I haven't seen everyone so happy in a long time since the siege."

"Well done. You are the true dragon slayers."

Roy laughed sheepishly and said modestly, "If you must say, I only played some insignificant supporting role and took advantage of Charlotte's achievements. She was the one who truly slayed the dragon."

The last time I fought with the angelic Alice, she was obviously holding back.

Roy now truly witnessed, from a bystander's perspective, how terrifying a Sequence 4 with gold-level bloodline was.

The condensed essence of [Blood and Fire from the Same Origin] was tangible, and each strike had a terrifying power that rivaled that of [Burning Flame]. The [Breath of the Flame King], which compressed the distant fire, was even more powerful than the breath of the dragon clan. With just one strike, it completely destroyed the seven Sequence 4 Heavenly Dragons.

Seeing Charlotte's wounded appearance, Roy originally wanted to vent his anger for her and kill the dragon for her.

In the end, looking at the dragon's corpse that was as black as charcoal, Roy couldn't find any intact part even if he wanted to whip it.

The girl of destiny is so terrifying!

Fortunately, I didn’t follow the original plot back then, otherwise Krollain would have ended up like me today!

"negligible?"

Rob raised an eyebrow, but found the remark amusing.

Those involved in the matter are often confused, while those who are on the sidelines can see things more clearly. Robert guessed the answer to why his daughter was so angry from the very beginning.

"Why do you think Charlotte was able to break through to the high level?"

"She said you reminded her of some tips."

"Humph......"

In the end, Rob didn't tell the truth, in order to prevent the brat in front of him from getting too proud of himself.

At the same time, the old father was ashamed to admit that his precious daughter was not angry with him but with another young man.

But at this point, Rob had already figured out Roy's temper. Although he could complain, it was impossible for him to oppose.

"Anyway, thank you for being with Charlotte."

Roy smiled softly: "I am just fulfilling my original vow."

"Is it a knight's oath or a man's oath?" Robert asked.

"All."

"...Tsk."

Rob suddenly felt very unhappy.

However, his body was still seriously injured and he couldn't even do the strong man lock-up trick his father-in-law did. He was really depressed.

"Okay, you're not bad, as long as Charlotte agrees, I have no objection."

"But now is not the time to be happy."

Rob changed the subject and his expression became gloomy. Roy also adjusted to the atmosphere and straightened his expression.

"I know this sounds like boasting, but [Acid-Eroded Pterosaur Kroline] isn't the biggest threat. If I were in my prime, I could easily kill it."

"The real danger is Nidhogg."

Rob tore off the bandages on his body, revealing shocking wounds.

A terrifying black mark was left on the marble-like body of the Lionheart King. The mark penetrated deep into his flesh and blood, like a wriggling maggot, emitting a frenzied and ominous evil spirit.

Roy's eyelids twitched.

It turns out that this is the reason why Robert is still weak.

Although the corrosion of the acid dragon is terrible, it is not incurable for high-level extraordinary people.

It is impossible for a king of a country to lack medical means. In addition, the fact that the priests and high-concentration holy water he brought were unable to cure the disease is enough to show how terrifying the black dragon is.

At the same time, Rowling's solemn voice echoed in Roy's mind: "Pollution by the evil god."

"As expected, the evil god worshipped by the [Evil Dragon Society] is Nidhogg."

Roy wasn't too surprised by this. After all, according to historical records, Nidhogg had long since fallen. He just didn't expect its power to be so powerful that even a warrior like the Lionheart couldn't withstand it.

"Is this injury incurable?" Roy asked Rowling.

"No. This is more like contamination than an injury. And it's been delayed for too long. Unless a high-ranking priest takes action personally, or directly eliminates the source of the contamination, there's nothing we can do."

No longer as heroic as before, Rob said self-deprecatingly, "They say Nidhogg has already fallen into evil, but I was still careless."

Covering the dark wound, the Lionheart King warned seriously: "If you want to fight it, be careful."

"The power of the black dragon is far greater than that of other dragons."

Chapter 75: Living off the old man

Leaving Robb's room, Roy stood at the foot of the castle, staring at the banquet in the courtyard in a daze.

The power of the black dragon far exceeds that of other dragons——

Roy naturally did not dare to take it lightly since the Lionheart King, who had faced the Red Blood Fire Dragon head-on, had given him such a warning.

The banquet in the distance was still going on, and the blushing girl was like a bright flame, standing out among the crowd.

In times of war, it was difficult to spare the young lady. Even the princess of a kingdom was now in tatters, her clothes stained with dried blood. But just as scars are a warrior's honor, so too were the marks of the battle with the Eclipse King a princess's achievement, a decoration forged in blood and fire.

It is like a ruby ​​emerging from fire, so breathtakingly beautiful.

Sequence 4 was already above the Transcendent, comparable to a mythical creature. Once upon a time, that was a realm Roy couldn't even imagine. And unlike Alice, who needed to consider the power of the goddess, Charlotte had truly reached a high level on her own.

If possible, Roy really wanted to just hold the princess's soft white legs and eat her as a gigolo.

It goes without saying that she is a novice who has everything she wants. The princess who usually commands the kingdom turns into a clingy kitten at night and asks for your permission.

It makes me feel good just thinking about it!

Unfortunately, it's just something I can think about.

Roy suppressed his gigolo smile and his eyes became serious.

Kroline was a little careless and frivolous.

But with Charlotte's current strength, and with the cooperation of several elite mid-level soldiers, it is not a problem to take down Malygos.

Fire overcomes ice. After reaching a high level, the Distant Fire greatly surpasses the Dragon Flame of the Red Blood Fire Dragon, and the power of [Blood and Fire from the Same Origin] is enough to resist the bloodline enlightenment of the Ice Dragon.

But Nidhogg is a threat that is difficult to ignore.

Rob's injuries could not be healed and he could not go into battle again.

The other party didn't say it explicitly, but Roy could see everything from that ashamed yet hopeful look.

To fight against Nidhogg, you can only rely on yourself.

Well, Her Royal Highness the Princess has tried so hard, how can I, a sworn knight, lose to her?

Without attending the banquet, Roy took Cheese directly to the Wang family's treasure house.

The griffins, under the instruction of their master, were having fun. They were having a great time with [Cake] when [Cheese] was dragged off the field, which made [Cheese] dissatisfied.

"Brother, why are you here making such a fuss instead of going to your red-haired wife to be with her?"

"Stop talking nonsense, you'll know soon."

The bodies of mythical creatures are rare strategic resources, and the Eclipse King's corpse was transported back immediately. However, the more precious the extraordinary material, the more difficult it is to process. Under siege, the Wang family could not afford to utilize this rare dragon material.

But Roy's method of exploitation was simple and crude enough.

Under the complicated gaze of the Golden-Winged Griffin, he walked straight forward, dug deep into the Eclipse King's chest, which was torn to pieces, and in no time, dragged out a huge black-green object.

That was the dragon's heart pierced by the [Breath of the Fire King].

Roy was overjoyed.

As expected of a dragon, his body is very strong.

Before, he was worried that the Eclipse King’s heart would be burned to ashes and he would have nothing to use.

The hearts of the seven celestial dragons are second only to the certificate of the king and are the top-level extraordinary materials for demigod relics. Wouldn’t it be a waste if such trophies were not used?

Having obtained the king's consent in advance, and with his relationship with Charlotte, this wave of gigolo living can be said to be legitimate!

"Brother, you are really hungry."

Roy, holding half a dragon heart, was stunned. "Huh?"

Cheese stammered, "I understand you hate the dragons, but humans can't, or at least shouldn't."

"Eating a dragon corpse is too much. You should at least cook it."

Roy rolled his eyes. "Go away, what are you thinking? When did I ever say I wanted to eat this?!"

Is the bloodline of the [False King] such an inconvenient thing?

Roy didn't waste any words and immediately circulated the power of his blood to give [Cheese] a broad view.

[Original extraordinary material detected! ]

[The bloodline power of the acid-corroded pterosaur, Kroline, has been fused! ]

[Dragon King's Blessing]:

[Acid Erosion]: A corrosive magic poison brewed by the acid-eroding pterosaur Kroline. It has limited power but is extremely corrosive, has a weakening effect, and can even corrode magic.
