Chapter 75: Don't Expect Believers to Be Overly Admiring
If it were the former Black Dragon Godwin Caesar, he would never have thought that one day he would agree to such an inexplicable request from a human believer.
But when the day finally arrived, Godwin didn't even know what was going on in his head. Time seemed to have fast-forwarded, and he just nodded in agreement in a daze.
The believers really adore him too much.
Black Dragon Godwin's rational mind told him that things were hurtling toward an uncontrollable direction. He had a vague premonition: this was an extremely dangerous sign. He couldn't let that strange feeling within him continue to grow.
"Tell me the coordinates and I'll go there myself."
"Please take me with you, Lord Godwin. I have already made a promise to the monsters that I am your most favored believer. If I can appear with you this time, everyone will recognize my unique identity."
Godwin was stunned. He didn't expect that she would love him so much.
Shen Jiang was thinking, "Of course we have to go together. I have to see the Black Dragon show his face in the Iron Forest." The Black Dragon was clever. If he suddenly decided to go somewhere else, the Iron Forest might be gone by then.
Finally, Godwin took his believer out awkwardly. He always felt that he shouldn't be so indulgent towards his believer. After all, he was someone she couldn't get. If he always gave her such unrealistic fantasies, she would be the only one who would get hurt in the end.
But Godwin couldn't say no. After all, looking at the believer's sparkling eyes and thinking about how much courage and love she must have to make such a passionate confession, he suddenly felt reluctant to shatter her fantasy.
Let her be happy for a short while.
It was because she had worked hard to weed, deliver candy and dragons to him over the past year and never asked for any credit.
Shen Jiang had no idea of the complex internal struggles within Black Dragon. She had already quickly pulled a thick black down jacket from the golden dragon scales and donned it. She also donned a light beige woolen hat with a small, fluffy, and milky ball on the top, which made her round face look soft and pale. She also wore knee pads, fearing she might develop cold legs in her old age.
It was only late autumn here, and she was wearing only a thin windbreaker. Shen Jiang had been traumatized by the last time she'd messed up in the air, but this time was different. She patted the ball above her head and smiled smugly: "I wouldn't freeze even if I killed a black dragon."
Godwin was speechless at her strange outfit: "Why are you dressed so strangely?"
It’s so spicy that it hurts the dragon’s eyes.
Shen Jiang heard his dissatisfaction and whispered, "It's too cold when flying. Wear this to keep warm."
Godwin was startled, then remembering that this human's body was extremely fragile and could be killed by just a single blow. He said nothing more, clearly agreeing with her outfit. Actually, the little hat was quite tolerable.
Shen Jiang was lifted up by the black dragon's giant claws again. The feeling of being in the air was wonderful. Because her waist was firmly fixed, Shen Jiang finally began to feel the joy of flying that she had imagined.
Ah, this is the feeling of freedom!
Godwin could certainly feel the happiness and joy emanating from the believers.
He couldn't help but curl his lips. It was just taking her on a flight, and she was so happy. She really admired him to the extreme. If he took her on a few more flights, she would probably be so happy that she lost her mind.
A transparent circle formed around Godwin's triangular claws, and the strong wind coming from the front spread out from both sides of his claws, without blowing his huge claws at all.
He had long felt that his paws were too dry. If the believers had not mentioned it, he would have forgotten to protect his paws.
Godwin deliberately led his followers around one of his hills and casually asked, "What do you think of this place?"
Shen Jiang had long been stunned by the beautiful scenery nearby. All over the mountains and plains, he could see layers of colors ranging from yellow to orange to red, like an overturned seasoning plate. Coupled with the towering white snow-capped peaks, it was magnificent and shocking.
Shen Jiang really wanted to shout: Absolutely amazing!
But Shen Jiang hadn't forgotten her mission for the day. To avoid looking down on the upcoming Iron Forest, she simply said, "Not bad, but it's still a bit inferior to Lord Godwin's Dragon Mountain."
Godwin hadn't expected this believer to have such high standards this time. He still remembered how she had been stunned when she first saw the scenery outside from her own Dragon Mountain.
In fact, this was the new Longshan Mountain he had chosen after comparing many options. In terms of season, the scenery here in autumn was far more pleasing to the eye than his previous Longshan Mountain. In winter, the mountain was blanketed in snow and covered in rime, creating a breathtaking beauty.
Well, actually he also thought this place was unremarkable.
Godwin said nothing and suddenly increased his flying speed.

At this moment, a group of imperial elites from the elite troops of the First Empire were searching around in the steel forest.
"Report, a suspicious pool of blood was found here!" The group searched in the forest for several hours and finally found some clues.
The leader had the same face as the one Shen Jiang and the others had seen in the Iron Forest before, except that the wind magician named Harrison had a cold temperament, while the tall man standing here had a completely opposite temperament. He was Harrison's twin brother Charlie.
Charlie, a twin, sensed his brother's injury and immediately requested assistance. Harrison, a guard in the First Empire's palace, held himself in high regard, often taking the little princess, Nabibi, out to play. Given his skill, it was unlikely he would be in trouble.
After magical analysis by his men, the bloodstains on the ground were confirmed to be from Harrison and Princess Nabibi. In particular, the large, shocking pool of blood was actually from Princess Nabibi. This discovery shocked the imperial elite present. Remember, Nabibi was only seven years old. With such a large amount of blood, she was in grave danger.
"There are quite a few footprints here. It seems Harrison experienced the siege here."
"But their bodies are not here. Maybe they are hiding in a corner and waiting for us to come and support them."
Charlie's face looked very ugly. Princess Nabibi was the king and queen's favorite little princess. Harrison actually dared to bring the princess to such a remote and chaotic place to hunt monsters.
Although the body was not found, he had already tacitly accepted that something had happened to his conceited brother. He was sad that Harrison was dead, but if the princess was also dead, then he and his parents would not only be sad, they would have to pay with their lives.
As the leader of this operation, Charlie immediately ordered his magician, who was good at finding traces, "Keep searching until you find Princess Nabibi."
If she's alive, she'll be found. If she's dead, she'll be found dead. But at this moment, Charlie secretly hoped that today would yield nothing. As long as the princess' body wasn't found, then she was simply missing.

Shen Jiang could see the steel forest from a distance because there were almost no reflective buildings here. The unique steel forest shimmered in the sun, which was very special.
She had never experienced the perspective of looking down from a great height. From above, the outermost edge of the steel forest looked like a mirror. Yet, what she saw deep in the forest were all perfectly normal, lush, ancient trees.
"Lord Godwin, that's the Iron Forest I mentioned to you. How is it? Isn't it very special?"
Black Dragon glanced sideways and saw a patch of sky not far away, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds. This strange sight left Godwin stunned.
No wonder the believer had no feeling about the mountain just now. It turns out that she has been staying in such a place these days, Godwin thought thoughtfully.
Godwin was about to return home, but at this moment, his followers shouted, "Master Godwin, a magician has stolen your magic beast!"
Godwin glanced down and saw a group of magicians wearing armor and riding tall horses, leading scarred monsters of all sizes walking on a path outside the forest.
The faces of those monsters were full of fear, and they staggered as they walked, obviously injured.
Godwin's voice was filled with danger. "Are these the high-quality new believers you mentioned?"
Shen Jiang was not short-sighted and could see the situation on the ground clearly, especially her friend Baihu was among them.
At this moment, someone finally spotted the huge object in the sky and exclaimed, "What is that?"
Baihu looked up when she heard the words. After seeing the black dragon above her head, she was stunned. She murmured, "What Shen Jiang said is true, what Shen Jiang said is true!"
It turns out that Shen Jiang really represents new life.
A tiger roar sounded in the forest, and all the monsters that were captured and held at vital points knelt down, their eyes filled with excitement.
Godwin heard their calls clearly. They were the most pious and pure hopes. They were calling out, "Powerful and merciful Lord Black Dragon, please allow us to become your believers."
The human magicians, who had been calm and composed, immediately changed their expressions. Their inability to find the princess had already frustrate them, and to meet their mission, they naturally had to use the Iron Forest's magical beasts to prove their diligence. But what did they see now?
A giant dragon emitting an icy and soul-stirring aura?
Charlie immediately said in a deep voice: "Form a formation! If you can't win, use the teleportation scroll to leave!"
Shen Jiang could clearly hear the voices below from high above. She hurriedly said, "Oh no, Lord Godwin! They're trying to escape!"
Shen Jiang was worried that the group would simply run away with the monsters. If that happened, her efforts would be in vain. But when Black Dragon heard this, he felt that the believers were looking down on him.
No one has ever been able to escape from his hands!
Never!
Godwin was enraged and swooped down, spurting out scorching dragon fire from his mouth, burning all the magicians who were trying to take things out of their arms to ashes.
Godwin was no longer the young dragon who couldn't control the magic fire a hundred years ago. His dragon flame seemed to have eyes. Magic beasts: not burning, magic stones: not burning, magic scrolls: not burning, storage rings: not burning...
Dozens of human magicians instantly turned into ashes and dust in the air, causing Shen Jiang to exclaim repeatedly: "How amazing! You are worthy of being Lord Godwin."
Godwin was very pleased with her naive look. When he looked at the monsters again, he saw a group of four-legged beasts with stars in their eyes. They looked at him as if he were a god.
GODDWIN: ...another bunch of unworldly fellows.
Godwin collected several bags of magic stones and gave away the unwanted magic scrolls, storage rings and other trifles to the believers as rewards.
Shen Jiang was holding this pile of heaven-fallen treasures, completely bewildered. What did Lord Black Dragon mean by this? Did he give all these to her? This was too generous!
"Thank you, Lord Godwin, for your generous gift. I will definitely cherish it!"
Godwin knew that this would be her reaction. In his opinion, these attack scrolls and escape scrolls were all rubbish. But no matter how useless they were, as long as he gave them to her, she would definitely show this expression.
After thinking for a while, he took out a small bag of magic stones and threw it to the believer: "Practice with this thing, quickly."
Shen Jiang opened the bag doubtfully.
Baihu's breathing became heavier. She could already tell that the bag contained the magic stone she had mentioned before. When everyone's talent reached a bottleneck, they needed to use the magic stone to break through. She hadn't expected Lord Black Dragon to be so generous, willing to give such a valuable gift to his followers.
Baihu couldn't help but feel more pious at this moment.
What a kind being, she is so proud of her faith.
When Shen Jiang saw what was in the bag, he was stunned. Isn’t this a crystal stone?
