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

"As for the achievement of slaying the dragon, it does not belong to me alone. Without your bloody battle back then, there would be no peace in the kingdom for eighteen years, and there would not be a seriously injured dragon."

Roy said this sincerely.

But it was this sincerity that made Robert feel even more guilty.

In the values ​​of the kingdom's nobles, honor is greater than life and wealth.

When Robert was young, he was a typical lion-hearted young man who fought desperately in the enemy camp for a few titles.

Now that Roy was so magnanimous, it made him even more uneasy.

This guy actually comforted himself. In terms of chivalry, he really inherited Carl's spirit. Rob felt helpless.

For a king with extremely high self-esteem, it is impossible to bow to a junior.

But now, he is willing to make an exception for Roy.

"No, I must apologize."

"The incident with Leo was due to my failure to discipline him. The incident with the fire dragon was my mistake back then. It was you who redeemed me from my mistakes."

"At the same time, I want to thank you."

"Charlotte has already told me how hard you tried to protect her."

Rob took a breath, then bowed deeply to Roy and said in a deep voice: "Thank you for saving her!"

Only between the ruler and his subjects is courtesy necessary.

This is a sincere thank you from a father, and it would be unkind to refuse it.

Roy took back the polite words that were on the tip of his tongue, and his eyes softened as he recalled the details of his escape journey.

The boy smiled and said, "Actually, we saved each other more. If it weren't for Charlotte, I would have collapsed long ago."

Rob raised his head again, exhaled, and his expression finally looked much more relaxed.

He saw the tenderness in the boy's eyes, but this time, Rob didn't say anything more.

Precisely because he is Charlotte's father, he understands that the young man in front of him is worthy of trust.

"Okay, I guess you're tired of these empty rubbish. It's time for something more substantial."

"Really?"

"Rewarding according to merit is the custom of the kingdom. Although I cannot give you the honor you deserve, I should at least give you some concrete results, right?"

"Well..."

In fact, Roy has a [Favorability Exchange Area] and a [Reputation Lottery Area], so he doesn't really care about the spoils.

But Rob waved his hand, signaling him not to speak too early.

"I know you don't like ordinary things."

"But what if it's something about a fire dragon?"

As soon as these words came out, Roy's eyes suddenly lit up.

Satisfied with Roy's reaction, Rob winked and said, "Let's go take a look?"

"go!"

Roy couldn't wait any longer.

Chapter 134: Spoils of War

Under Rob's guidance, Roy passed through the corridor unimpeded, went straight down, and came to the underground treasure house of Sunset Red Castle through the circular stairs.

Rob walked in front and pushed open the heavy door.

In an instant, a golden ocean blinded Roy's eyes.

Looking around, there are mountains of gold, silver, jewelry, and various extraordinary props.

But what really shocked Roy were the huge crimson wreckage deep in the room.

[Red-blooded Fire Dragon Baragas].

The dragon's size made it difficult to carry, so it had been dismembered into several parts, each piled up like a small mountain in a treasure trove.

Looking at the hideous face that had been half burned by the lava, even though I knew it was a corpse, I still couldn't help but feel a palpitation in my heart.

Although it is in a state of low health, it is still an ancient dragon that has gone through thousands of years.

Did he really defeat this monster?

In comparison, the surrounding gold, silver and jewelry seemed much dimmer.

"Boy, is there any part you like?"

Roy, immersed in the shock of the dragon's corpse, felt a little distracted when he heard the other party ask in the tone of a butcher discussing pork in the vegetable market.

"The part you like, do you mean you want to give me the entire piece of Fire Dragon material?" Roy was surprised by the other party's generosity. "Aren't you following the rules?"

In theory, nobles were divided according to their family's military achievements.

Moreover, even though it was Roy who dealt the final blow to the Red-Blooded Fire Dragon, eighteen years ago, many families had contributed to the dragon-slaying battle. Without their contributions, one of the seven great dragons would not have been severely damaged to the point of retreating into the volcano.

The nobles would certainly have to fight for a long time over how to divide the spoils, especially such precious spoils. It would not be surprising if it took a year or two.

In response to Roy's question, His Majesty the King laughed heartily and patted Roy on the back. "Well, rules are dead, but people are alive. As a true Dragon Slayer, you have the right to choose the spoils first!"

"Besides, this is uniquely yours."

"The Ironblads will get their share, too."

"Father will definitely refuse." Roy complained. With Carl's upright character, he would definitely not want to do something that breaks the rules.

"So don't tell that kid Carl, so that he won't have to be polite to me again." Robert shrugged.

In Rob's view, rewarding people based on their merits is a matter of course, and when combined with personal gratitude, mere rules mean nothing.

The two smiled at each other, with a sense of tacit understanding like a young man and the uncle next door doing something bad secretly.

Having said that, Roy naturally didn't hesitate.

He approached the dragon's corpse, looked around, and selected his own spoils.

Unlike sub-dragons whose bodies lose most of their extraordinary powers after death, even if a pure-blooded dragon dies, its corpse is still a top-level extraordinary treasure.

Dragon teeth can be made into magical weapons, dragon scales can be made into top-level armor, and even the membranes and internal organs can be used as medicine to make powerful potions.

Every part of one of the Seven Heavenly Dragons was so valuable on the market that it was hard to choose.

Just as Roy was struggling, a prompt suddenly flashed on the panel.

[Original extraordinary material detected! ]

[This material has a supporting effect on improving your True Bloodline, so please try to get it!]

Roy turned around and saw that the clue was pointing to a huge, bloody heart surrounded by flames.

The so-called original extraordinary material is the source of power left behind by extraordinary creatures after their death.

The most important ingredient in the extraordinary magic potions that people consume today is the original extraordinary material.

Currently, he had the [Blessing of the Dragon King], and his physical attack and defense were already sufficient. With two large panel malls, he had no shortage of disposable items.

If you think about it carefully, it is more important to enhance the power of bloodline than weapons and props.

"I've made my choice. This is it."

"As expected, it's for the power of your bloodline." Robert showed an expected expression.

In fact, the dragon's heart is a hot potato for Robert.

This thing cannot be processed into weapons or potions, but it is too precious in itself. It is a thing that has value but no practical use. The right thing to do is to give it to Roy.

Roy was not surprised that the other party knew about his bloodline ability. Obviously, he and his family knew a lot, even far more than himself.

"Uncle Robert, are you clear about the true power of my bloodline?"

"I have some understanding of this. You should go back and ask your father about this. Now that your power has fully awakened, he can't keep it a secret any longer."

"Anyway, all I can say is that collecting more powerful Origin Extraordinary Materials will not harm your bloodline's advancement."

Roy nodded.

It seems that the original extraordinary material can help to promote the true bloodline.

Roy raised his hand and placed it on the fire dragon's heart. He wanted to put it into the storage magic ring, but unexpectedly, the thing suddenly pulsated as if alive, and burst into a surging red light.

The air was heavy, and for a moment a large amount of extraordinary power surged with the pulse, and then gathered towards Roy.

Roy felt as if the blood in his body was ignited and became restless, and his whole body was burning like fire.

This was very similar to how he felt when he projected [The Road to Kingship] and empathized with Siegfried's feelings when he accepted the Dragon King's Blood Contract.

But unlike that time, this time it was over quickly.

In a moment, the burning sensation dissipated, and Roy only felt that the power of his bloodline became purer, and even his breathing became smoother.

[False King]: Sequence 9

[Has merged with the blood power of the Red Blood Fire Dragon Balagas]

[Fire Flame]: The red flame from the red-blooded fire dragon Baragas can add extraordinary power to the dragon clan.

[Ashes of Destruction]: The remnant of the dragon's breath of the Red-Blooded Fire Dragon Balagas. This skill is limited to the current sequence.

Dragon Flame is the second most powerful flame after Lion Heart, and is ranked among the top three in the fire-related supernatural powers.

Roy has suffered from physical attacks for a long time, and every time he sees Charlotte making fireballs, he feels so envious.

But now with [Fire Flame], he can also play with fire and is considered half a mage!

Moreover, [Ashes of Annihilation] is different from [Pseudo Dragon Breath·Sky]. It is just the residual power of dragon breath. Although the power is a little weaker, the side effects must be much smaller, so you won't fall flat on the spot after just one sword strike.

With the skill [Ashes] that can be used multiple times, Roy can finally avoid the embarrassing situation of being a one-hit superman.

Roy, whose bloodline power was promoted, happily returned to the banquet hall with Robert.

The banquet had basically ended at this time, but the two beautiful figures, one in gold and one in red, were still waiting in the venue. When they saw Roy coming back, they came forward to greet him one after another.

"Damn Dad, where did you take Roy?"

"Alas, I am doing him a favor."

"Oh, that's okay, you can go."

Charlotte slipped in between the two of them with remarkable skill, pushing Rob aside.

His Majesty the King looked so aggrieved that it was pitiful to see him.

Before leaving, Rob glanced at Roy meaningfully and said, "Boy, Charlotte is in your hands."

His Majesty the King left after he finished speaking, leaving the red-haired girl beside him pale and her pretty face instantly red.

After Robert left, Charlotte looked over with resentment and explained, "Don't listen to that stinky old man's nonsense. He didn't mean that."

Seeing the little princess's stubborn attitude, Roy felt itchy and couldn't help but jokingly said, "What does Charlotte herself mean?"

"I......"

Just when the atmosphere was becoming a little ambiguous, the blonde maid suddenly coughed, interrupting the two of them.

"Master, the banquet is over. We should go back."

"Oh, that's right. See you tomorrow." Roy said goodbye to Charlotte with a smile.

Charlotte responded blankly, and then she realized something was wrong when she saw the master and servant walking together, almost close to each other.

That maid just now, couldn't she have done that on purpose?

Chapter 135: Man's Stubbornness

"Master, good morning."

Following a call as light as a falling feather, Roy opened his eyes dazedly.

A blonde girl in a maid's short skirt, bathed in the golden morning light, had already opened the curtains and was waiting respectfully by the side.

The sleepy boy couldn't help but smile foolishly.
