With a sense of trepidation, Roy ca before the Black Dragon, took a deep breath, bent at the waist, and respectfully said,
"Your Great Majesty, the Queen of Darkness, Roy Higlind offers you his most sincere greetings."
"Oh? You think I am the Queen of Darkness?"
The mighty Black Dragon opened its nacing maw, speaking with a tone of mockery.
Upon hearing this deep voice full of masculine energy, Roy’s face instantly stiffened. In fact, as he approached the Black Dragon, he vaguely felt that the strange-looking Black Dragon before him was likely not the Queen of Darkness, as the na itself suggested a female Black Dragon...
Although Roy was a Mage and possessed knowledge in many areas, he was not a specialist Dragonologist. He could only rely on his previous studies of so Demons to make judgnts, and such judgnts inherently represented uncertainty and imprecision.
But now there was no need for him to guess and judge, because this unknown peculiar Adult Black Dragon spoke, confirming his suspicion.
"Your Majesty, the Black Dragon, please forgive my offense. According to rumors from the outside world, this area was occupied by a female Black Dragon... now it seems this was a severe misdirection, and the true master of this place is indeed your venerable Majesty!" Roy’s expression beca extrely serious, and he felt very angry about such slanderous rumors against the great Black Dragon Majesty before him.
"Hahahahaha!"
This was Udi’s crazy laughter.
So amusing. Adaptability is indeed sothing humans excel at conveying to its essence.
Standing beneath the nacing maw of the dragon, Roy seed to be in the midst of a gale, with his robe fluttering all over. Upon feeling the long and terrifying aura of the Giant Beast up close, he bent his waist even lower.
"Just the breath alone is so powerful, simply terrifying... Truly deserving of being called an Adult Black Dragon," Roy marveled in his heart.
Actually, if Roy had used the Identification Skill on Udi, his expression would have certainly been interesting. This Giant Beast, comparable in size to an Adult Black Dragon, was rely a Level 9 creature.
The Identification Skill is a Spell-like Ability awakened by Black Dragons during their Juvenile Dragon phase, although it is not unique to Black Dragons. So racial bloodlines also carry this ability. The inspiration for creating a spell often cos from the innate Spell-like Abilities of Extraordinary Creatures. For example, the Spell-like Ability of the Wind Wolf corresponds to spells like the One-Ring Spell·Wind Blade Technique and the Third Ring Spell·Multiple Wind Blade Technique.
"Indeed, my size is quite intimidating," Udi thought, satisfied as he glanced at Roy’s increasingly hunched figure.
Prejudices in one’s heart are like a mountain.
The more one knows, the stronger the constraints of their preconceived notions.
Because Roy was aware of the size of Adult Black Dragons, he never doubted Udi’s strength at first sight, instantly assuming he was an Adult Black Dragon, at least a Level 15 top-level creature on the food chain!
Of course, Udi’s formidable dragon body performance was part of it. If he was rely superficially impressive, a High-level Mage with powerful Spiritual Perception Power could have sensed the truth and doubted Udi.
Scale Armor Hardness, Flesh Vitality, Biological Magnetism, Aura Energy, etc., are not difficult for the strong to perceive. And although Udi’s Dragon Body Strength was quite a distance from that of an Adult Black Dragon’s, at least the gap wasn’t too outrageous.
To this, Roy would only think that Udi’s ability to control and restrain his own aura was very strong, rather than that Udi’s Dragon Body Strength was truly at the level he displayed.
"The information you have is correct. This land indeed belonged to the Queen of Darkness, but...." Udi’s tone suddenly changed halfway through, revealing a savage gleam in his eyes,
"She was too weak, rely Level 16, just an ordinary Black Dragon that had only recently co of age. I flew out from the depths of the Dark Forest, passed through this place, and beat her up on a whim. That young girl flew away sobbing."
??
Roy was full of questions, his face changing multiple tis as he deciphered the information contained in this sentence, and his back bent even lower.
At the sa ti, the Master Level Any Door Magic he had been ntally holding onto was imdiately canceled.
This was originally a life-saving spell he intended to use to escape imdiately if things went south, but after perceiving the ice-cold warning in Udi’s tone just now, he struggled for a mont and chose to abandon it.
This powerful Black Dragon Majesty must have sensed the hidden magic power quietly working in his body.
Considering the disparity in power between the two, Roy chose to be sensible.
Of course, Udi hadn’t actually sensed the hidden magic power within Roy; he was just trying to scare the other party, and it worked if successful—if not, it didn’t matter.
"Alright, let’s talk business. Give an overview of your mining operations, slaves, and robbery business." The Black Dragon, who had a look of savagery just a mont ago, suddenly spoke in a calm tone.
After silently lanting once more about the capricious nature of Evil Dragons, Roy quickly began to speak. This matter was one of the main goals he was risking his life to achieve this ti. Besides, having reached this point, with even the escape spell canceled and his life wholly in the claws of this Black Dragon Majesty, Roy was no longer as tense as before.
"Regarding mining, slavery, and robbery businesses, let start with mining. The Dark Forest is vast with dense Elental Power, and there are definitely many rare veins of Magic Crystal, tals, gemstones, and other resources. As long as Black Dragon Majesty is willing to send out a large number of Kobolds to explore, many can certainly be found. When the raw ores are mined, our Higlind family can refine and process them for resale to the outside world, thus gaining enormous profits.
