Evil Dragon: The young dragon I picked up keeps planning on becoming an empress

Proxy Reaper, three apprentice Death God positions.

The first apprentice Death God position must go to his own Dragon Whelp. With the status of an apprentice Death God, which is akin to being half a person from hell, coupled with his protection as a Black Dragon, when the Young Dragon comes of age, it would be considered a Dragon with [influence].

As for the remaining two apprentice Death God positions, well... he was actually considering whether he could recruit two outstanding Divine Position personnel from the temple to become apprentice Death Gods.

Holy Knight Steven from the Valkyrie Temple... could be a potential [apprentice Death God].

After some evaluation, and if suitable, he would see if there was an opportunity to sign an apprentice Death God Contract with him.

Undermining the Valkyrie's authority... If the Valkyrie knew, would She be so angry that She sends Sophia to beat him up?

Undermining the temple's authority is essentially undermining that of the Deities. The better the Divine Position personnel he poaches, the more likely the Deities will take notice.

"Is this considered a promotion and a raise?"

"Consider it a promotion, but no raise. Your salary is fixed. If you want a raise, you should just die sooner. The benefits in hell are much better than when you were alive. If your performance is outstanding, not only could you get a chance to travel to Heaven, but you might even get the opportunity to visit the realm of heroic spirits.

If you become a level 5 Death God, you might have the chance to visit the legendary Divine Realm where the Angels reside. To be honest, though you don't look as good as the Angels, just in case some Angel with an eccentric taste happens to fancy you... you might even get a chance to date an Angel.

Oh right, Lance, if you want to date an Angel, you'd better not get married or have children. Anyway, you're so old... don't go bothering those cute young ladies in the Human World, find someone older to settle down with when you're about to die...

Thinking about it... Lance... your chances with women are probably in hell, as women in the Human World are of no concern to you, you are doomed to be single till death.

And you... the bald Dragon Whelp over there, I noticed you earlier. You're looking at me funny. Do you agree with what I said?

Do you think Lance has no chance of finding a wife while he is alive?"

The Young Dragon shook its head frantically, no, not at all!

She didn't think so. Evil Dragon Lance is only 3455 years old, which, for Pureblood Dragons, is just the age of maturity.

The Evil Dragon still has a chance at love, it depends on whether he wants to pursue it.

She looked at Death God Solomon with a strange gaze, she felt... that one day Evil Dragon might beat up Death God Solomon.

Now that the Evil Dragon is alive, Death God Solomon can mock him wildly in hell, but the day the Evil Dragon actually dies... when he goes to hell... the first thing he would probably do is beat up Death God Solomon.

Having stayed near the Evil Dragon for nearly a month, the only one who dares to mock the Evil Dragon and attract hatred so wildly... is currently only Death God Solomon...

It doesn't matter if Evil Dragon doesn't die. But if the Evil Dragon dies... the odds of Hell Death God Solomon getting beaten up are too high...

"Who pays the apprentice Death God's salary?"

"You do. Just like how I pay you, the apprentice Death Gods you develop will naturally have their salaries provided by you.

Of course, you could choose not to pay. Besides, one has to pass a trial to qualify as an apprentice Death God. Surely you wouldn't want someone who can't pass the trial, right?"

Lance laughed. Hell Death God Solomon was exploiting his labor for free.

If any other Death God talked like this, he would pay no mind.

But Death God Solomon's words... aside from deserving a beating, were generally okay.

Having been offered the position of [Proxy Reaper] clearly showed that the guy had some abilities.

"Are things between hell and the Divine Realm very amiable?"

On the surface it appears so, but actually... there's a lot of open competition and secret undermining. For example, [reincarnation]. All beings should end up in [hell] and [reincarnation] is one of our abilities in hell.

Somehow... the Divine Realm managed to take away part of that power at some point, creating Heaven. All the exceptional souls went to Heaven, leaving the ordinary, the savage, and the utterly wicked souls for hell.

As a result, creatures in the Human World and other continents subconsciously think of our hell as a place of Evil Spirits unable to reincarnate...

In reality, the reincarnation process in hell is even more comprehensive than Heaven's. Evil Spirits who have atoned for their sins in hell can also reincarnate.

As for our reputation, the good one has been taken by the Divine Realm, and we in hell have been left with the bad one.

Between you and me... I guess that some higher-up has recently realized, discovered they were tricked in collusion by others, and hence... became a bit more aggressive and encouraging of the recruitment of Divine Position personnel as apprentice Death Gods...n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Essentially, you get the gist."

Lance nodded, starting to understand the relationship between hell and the Divine Realm. It couldn't be described as harmonious, nor as utterly hostile, but competitive.

They were poaching from each other, competing for the same business.

The reputation of hell wasn't very good.

In terms of attracting talent, they lagged behind the temples.

In the Human World, hell was positioned as [evil], while the temples were seen as [light].

For hell to recruit people from the [light] faction was more than a little difficult.

"There's one more thing. Your identity as a [Proxy Reaper] will be made available to other regions' [Proxy Reapers], and your Grim Reaper's Scythe will be connected to the projection channel of other [Proxy Reapers].

Should any unfamiliar projection messages contact you, it might be a [Proxy Reaper] from another region seeking your help. [Proxy Reapers] can ask each other for assistance. If you encounter trouble, you can also seek help from [Proxy Reapers] in other regions.

Asking other [Proxy Reapers] for help will require a certain compensation, which isn't limited to Hell Gold but could also include various other miscellaneous items.

For more details, you can check the [Proxy Reaper] manual later. Alright, there's nothing more for now. I'll contact you when something comes up."

Hell Death God Solomon vanished from the projection, not wanting to continue lest Lance complained about him being long-winded.

The Grim Reaper's Scythe flew to Lance's left hand and disappeared.

"Young Dragon, do you want to become an apprentice Reaper?"

"Not for now."

Apprentice Reaper... She's not yet qualified, temporarily.

The bounty tasks for apprentice Reapers start at the [Difficult] level.

She doesn't have that kind of strength.

The apprentice Reaper's position should be left for someone else to take, Evil Dragon.

"That's true, there's not much good in being an apprentice Reaper. Later on, when you inherit my [Proxy Reaper] position, those who sign the apprentice Reaper contracts with me... will all become the [Inheritance] I leave for you."

"......."

We'll talk about whether the apprentice Reapers you sign can outlast you to death...

Young Dragon isn't at all tempted by the [Inheritance] mentioned by Evil Dragon, because she knows that she'll never be able to claim Evil Dragon's inheritance in this life, the next one, or the several lifetimes after that...

However, she has decided to leave an inheritance for Evil Dragon instead.

"Are we still going to the capital today?"

"No, it's unlucky to run into a Hell Grim Reaper when we go out, we'll go another day."

"???"

The Young Dragon was dumbfounded on the spot. Could that also be a reason not to go to the capital?

You yourself are a Proxy Reaper, and yet you say it's unlucky to encounter a Reaper when you go out?

What kind of logic is that?

Evil Dragon went fishing.

Black Dragon Calendar Year 3455, July 17th, clear.

Fishing with the Evil Dragon.

Black Dragon Calendar Year 3455, July 18th, clear.

Dragging the Evil Dragon to fish together.

Black Dragon Calendar Year 3455, July 19th, clear.

After two days of coming up empty, Evil Dragon doesn't want to fish anymore and is preparing to take her to Norde Kingdom's capital.

She originally thought Evil Dragon would take her from Lionheart City to Norde Kingdom's capital, but unexpectedly they went from Black Dragon Island to Norde Kingdom's capital.

Damn it, it must be to train her flying ability again.

Just as she expected, that evening, when she bumped into Evil Dragon's back, she was whipped by his tail again...

.......

In the Human World, Norde Kingdom's capital, Holy Origin Central Commercial Street.

Holy Knight Steven, dressed in Knight's Regular Attire, was searching for the facade of [Blue Moon] on Holy Origin Central Commercial Street.

The rising star of the capital's fragrance world, [Blue Moon], has a shop here. It's been half a month since he returned from Lionheart City. Over that half month, he had been waiting at the Valkyrie Temple in the capital for young Master Lance to come by, but to no avail.

He decided not to wait any longer and actively came to the [Blue Moon] shop on Holy Origin Central Commercial Street to see if young Master Lance had come to claim his family's business.

If he is there, Steven wants to invite young Master Lance to the Valkyrie Temple as a guest.

[Blue Moon] is quite well-known on this commercial street. After asking a few passers-by, Holy Knight Steven quickly found the [Blue Moon] shop.

Standing outside the [Blue Moon] shop, one can smell several pleasant fragrances, and looking through the large glass door, one can see a variety of perfumes displayed inside.

In addition to perfumes, there were also some fragrance woods, incense burners, and mosquito incense displayed.

The price of Blue Moon's perfumes ranges from fifty to a hundred Nuojin each.

It's quite expensive, but indeed worth the money.

"Welcome, please come in and choose the fragrance materials you need," said the door as two beautiful girls pulled it open, and Steven stepped inside.

"Thank you. May I ask if your shop manager is available? I would like to have a chat with him and also to see if the runaway heir of your [Blue Moon] has come back."

"???"

"Our [Blue Moon]'s runaway heir?"

"Yes." Steven walked over to the perfume display area, picked up a bottle of perfume at random, pointed to the face on it, and smiled at the two girls by the door: "It's this young master. A few days ago, when I was in Lionheart City, I encountered someone in Lionheart City who looks exactly like your [Blue Moon] young master."

"He's not our [Blue Moon]'s young master, he's our [Blue Moon]'s lord, his name is Lance."
