Crossing the true dragon realm, and you call me Little Locke?

Because Violet was wandering at the foot of the mountain, it wasn't very safe for Adela to stay there.

So Shuoyang sent Elliot, who had been bothering him all day, away and ordered him to protect Adela, collect the unhatched elf eggs, and find a water-type elf to bring back.

Shuoyang himself brought DouDou, who could be useful in the upcoming war.

Go to the Cloud Grassland north of the Muyun Mountains, find those ferocious beasts, goblins, and orcs, and give DouDou special training to level up.

He also gave the guard dog to Adela.

After all, as a Dragon-type Pokémon, Big Head Dragon has a higher lower and higher potential, but its growth rate is not as fast as that of a relatively ordinary Pokémon like Guardian Dog.

This made Elliott extremely envious.

If he weren't a true dragon, he would have wanted to pledge allegiance to his elder brother and become a member of Shuoyang's family.

But unfortunately, he was a true dragon, even the most family-oriented bronze dragon.

Their concept of family is limited to gathering once every ten years or so.

Normally, when there's nothing else going on, all the dragons would fight to the death to have anything to do with each other.

Although they are magical creatures at the top of the ecosystem of the Prime Material Plane.

Magical creatures stronger than dragons cannot reproduce like dragons. Magical creatures capable of reproduction more than dragons are not as strong as dragons.

Therefore, for true dragons, their kind are more like competitors than family or friends.

This applies even to mothers and children, brothers, husbands and wives...

For example, Shuoyang's rapid growth in strength and physique aroused the jealousy of his mother, Lamarantz, whose bloodline was ingrained in the dragon's instincts.

His mother, barely suppressing the urge to tear him apart, was forced to drive him off Dragon's Nest Island, after which this urge to kill gradually subsided.

It is precisely because of this that there are quite a few true dragons in the prime material plane.

However, they almost all live alone and are unable to establish a civilization like mortal races.

Therefore, Elliott's idea only briefly crossed his mind before he completely forgot about it.

In contrast, Shuoyang felt weak and unsafe.

Elliott, this serious bronze dragon, prefers to act in human form.

He transformed back into a young male knight-errant, following behind Adela.

Looking at the large-headed skeletal dragon beside her, still somewhat afraid of her, and the guard dog at her feet, diligently keeping watch over the surroundings.

Elliott was filled with enthusiasm, after all, Shuoyang had already made promises to him.

As long as he can protect Adela and find a water-type spirit to bring back.

Shuoyang then helped him capture the spirit for free and gave it to him.

"We must catch one that's strong enough."

With this in mind, Elliott dared not be negligent in the slightest.

He kept scanning his surroundings, not missing a single rustling sound.

This aroused the competitive spirit of the guard dog, which was also on alert.

It glanced at Elliott, then suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a flame, shooting it towards a clump of trees in the forest.

The flames exploded with a "bang" among the trees.

The firelight flashed, and a jumble of exclamations erupted.

Five or six short, ugly creatures with withered green skin and pointed ears jumped out of the bushes.

They panicked, some running around in all directions, others rolling on the ground, each trying to pat off the flames on their bodies.

"Goblin!?"

Elliott and Adela were both taken aback by what they saw.

The guard dog glanced at Elliott with disdain, then charged forward and rammed into a goblin.

Its mouth glowed with fire, as if it wanted to end its life.

"etc!"

Elliott tried to stop him, but the guard dog ignored him.

He directly poured a flame into the goblin's mouth, blasting through his brain.

Then, without stopping, it pounced on another goblin.

We want to eradicate them completely and eliminate these unsafe hazards.

Fortunately, Adela realized what was happening at that moment.

She quickly stopped him, saying, "Little one, stop."

Hearing her speak, the guard dog reluctantly stopped, giving Elliott a somewhat disgruntled look.

Elliott was both annoyed and amused by this.

As a true dragon, his dragon senses were naturally excellent as well.

The reason he didn't discover these goblins was simply because they were far too weak for a true dragon.

Just as ordinary people don't notice the insects and ants under their feet.

Since these goblins posed no threat to a young dragon like him, he subconsciously ignored these "rats."

Unexpectedly, the protective dog seized on this.

"I was actually looked down upon by a dog?"

Elliott looked at the guard dog with a human-like contempt.

His expression was unfriendly as he slowly walked towards the goblins.

Without needing to revert to his original form, the dragon's might emanated from his eyes, terrifying all the goblins who were trying to escape to the ground.

"Speak," Elliott said, flashing his gleaming white teeth.

He laughed and said, "Who sent you rats?"

"Why are you lying in ambush here?"

"Yes...yes!?"

Under the dragon's might, these goblins had difficulty breathing, and their replies were naturally halting.

Fortunately, Elliott was more patient and merciful than Shuoyang, and did not kill him because of this.

"They must have been sent by my mother to find me."

Adela interjected at the opportune moment, calming the agitated giant skull dragon and rewarding the guard dog with a piece of jerky.

Then he explained to Elliott, "Young Master Elliott, they are all my mother Sasha's subordinates—that is, the Green Dragon Serpent Fang's men."

"It must be that my mother, now that she has that red dragon as a means of support, wants to take back the territory from her master."

"So I sent them here to ask me for information about my master, and also to see if I could be coerced into becoming her mole."

Listen to her calmly finish speaking.

Elliott, who had learned about Adela's past from Shuoyang, frowned slightly.

He looked at the goblins and asked, "Is that so?"

The goblins, who couldn't utter a word, quickly nodded.

Terrified, they knelt on the ground, frantically pleading, "Your Excellency... sir."

"Just as the lady said, we were all forced here by that wicked slut."

"We had absolutely no intention of inquiring about the Lord's whereabouts, absolutely not!"

"We are seeking refuge with Lady Adela! Yes! We are seeking refuge with the benevolent lord."

Upon hearing this, Elliott glanced at Adela.

I want to see what she will choose.

Then, based on her behavior, we should see if we should advise Shuoyang to eliminate this unstable factor.

Seeing this, Adela stepped forward expressionlessly.

She said to the goblins, "Go back! Go back and tell Snake Fang!"

"She has become so pathetic that she has become a slave to the red dragon."

"Why not pledge allegiance to the lord? Serve a true dragon like I have?"

Having said that, she ignored the goblins' pleas and drove them away.

Then he turned to Elliott and asked, "Young Master Elliott, what do you think of this?"

"It's so-so!"

Elliott offered his own assessment, replying, "There was no silence in order to conceal something."

"I didn't kill them to silence them out of guilt."

"Letting them go back and give their opinion is barely acceptable!"

Upon hearing this, Adela gave Elliott a careful look.

He gently reminded him, "Young Master Elliott, you are too trusting of mortals."

「!?」

Upon hearing this, Elliott was completely dumbfounded.

But before he could ask any further questions, Adela, alerted by her guard dog, discovered a strangely shaped tortoise.

She hurriedly set off with the two elves to give chase, and Elliott had no choice but to follow.

The goblins, after running a long way,...

They were panting heavily, a mixture of joy at their narrow escape and resentment towards Adela and her guard dog due to the stinging pain from their burns.

They snapped out of their daze and started boasting about themselves while hurling insults at each other.

"Thank goodness I'm smart, that's how I managed to outsmart those two big idiots!"

"I reacted quickly enough; that bitch thought we genuinely wanted to defect!"

"Nonsense! It was clearly my heroic prowess that made that half-dragon girl do my thing...!"

They argued noisily like that, neither of them mentioning going back.

After all, the Green Dragon isn't as easy to talk to as Elliott and Adela. If they really return empty-handed, the Green Dragon will definitely take them away to fill its teeth.

So they just wandered around in the mountains.

Suddenly, a sharp-eyed goblin spotted clusters of warm yellow.

He looked closely and saw that it was a small yellow sheep with only an airplane-shaped frizzy head and two lightning bolt-shaped tails.

I saw those chubby little lambs grazing on the hillside.

The goblin's mouth immediately watered, and he slapped his companion hard.

Pointing at the sheep, he shouted, "Quiet! Quiet!"

"Sheep! There are sheep!"

Upon hearing this, the other goblins all turned to look.

They all swallowed hard, revealing malicious smirks.

After all, they had run all the way from the border forest to the Muyun Mountains and hadn't eaten for a whole day.

It was also burned by its owner's dog for no reason, and then ran a long way through the mountains.

Right now, everyone is so hungry they can't see anything but the delicious mutton.

They didn't notice the sheep's strange appearance or the small figure not far from the flock.
