The death of the high priest shook the entire Faust Dragon Continent.
The other countries who allied themselves with the Kingdom of Dunmei previously immediately ceased all cooperation with them. When the king and his council returned to the main conference room in the Kingdom of Dunmei, it was empty.
"These bastards! I knew it! It's only been a day, and they've already abandoned us!"
Initially, the king of the Dunmei Kingdom had wanted to inform the other kings about the new-born dragon, but after witnessing the betrayal of the other kings, he immediately hid news of Locke's surprising success.
He didn't want these people to harbor ill intentions after finding out. After all, Locke was the last trump card of the Dunmei Kingdom.
The High Priest's funeral was very grand. Everyone in the entire Kingdom of Dunmei attended the funeral.
They were well aware of the high priest's achievements in the past hundred years and what the high priest would bring them after he left!
Therefore, every citizen in the country was mourning and praying for him!
In a certain dormitory room in the academy, Locke had just woken up from a nap. Rather than waking up, it would be more accurate to say that he had been woken up by this naughty little dragon.
It bounced around on Locke's body and kept saying to him, "Take me out to play!"
Helpless, Locke was forced to wake up as he said to Eliza, "Not today! Today is High Priest Hanos' funeral! There are people mourning everywhere. If you go out and play, you'll be scolded and condemned by others!" As he said that, he opened the window. Downstairs, there were many students dressed in black and white clothes who were mourning.
Seeing the scene outside the window, Eliza immediately became unhappy.
It said pitifully to Locke, "Eliza is hungry and wants to eat!"
Locke could not satisfy it with other things, but in the very least, he could make sure his little dragon had its fill today. Because no matter what happened, the dining hall would not be closed, and it would not be closed for an entire day.
Due to the fact that dragons were the ultimate combat force in all countries, the king had always prioritized providing an abundance of dragon food!
Locke changed his clothes so that he would not be criticized by others for not wearing the proper attire. The young chap and dragon soon arrived at the dining hall.
The chef in the dining hall was also in a bad mood today. However, when he saw someone coming, he immediately put on a smiling face.
Locke patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, today is a special day, you don't have to smile!"
Hearing Locke's words, the chef's attitude toward him became friendlier. He immediately prepared food for both of them.
After eating, Locke discovered that Eliza's body smelled of food. Hence, he immediately brought her to the bathroom for a quick washing.
Unexpectedly, Locke was quickly chased out by Eliza.
The little dragon's reason was: "I'm still a young girl. I can't shower with a man!"
"…"
"You and I are of different species, so it's impossible between us!"
However, Loke did not know that dragons grew very quickly in this world!
With enough resources, a dragon could enter adulthood in less than five years. If he was lucky, a dragon could transform into a human within ten years! After the two of them showered, Locke and Eliza hugged each other to sleep.
In his dream, Locke seemed to have heard some noises. As he was too tired, he did not pay much attention to it and fell asleep.
"Supreme Dragon Lord System loading—
"10%, 20%… 100%, loading successful!
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Supreme Dragon Lord System!
"Reward: Secret Dragon Growth Medicine x1 and legendary Battle Spear Nine Tribulations (Growing)!"
ZZZ…
The next morning, Locke woke up to find a black staff in his hand.
'What is this!?'
After a momentary confusion, he soon remembered the dream from last night.
Looking at the time, he realized that he had slept from yesterday afternoon to the next morning.
Perhaps it was because he had just woken up and could not focus his mind yet, Locke rubbed his eyes. Suddenly, he realized something. He could now clearly see the attributes of the staff in his hand!
"Legendary weapon, Dragon God Battle Spear Nine Tribulations (Growing)?"
Dragon God Battle Spear Nine Tribulations (Growing)
Grade: Beginner Level
Battle Damage: 1000

Looking at the strange weapon in his hand, wasn't it just a thick and black wooden staff?
'Am I still dreaming?'
After being locked onto by Locke's mind, a strange sight appeared before his eyes. This black wooden staff immediately turned into a spear!
Moreover, the spearhead also had a halberd condensed from light. It looked extremely formidable in his hands!
The king's chief mage, who was hiding some distance away, saw this.
When the weapon in Locke's hands suddenly changed, it gave him a fright! Clifford had been in the Kingdom of Dunmei for more than ten years, and he had never seen such a treasure before. This was the first time he had seen a weapon that could change its form!
'How many more secrets is this kid hiding? I have to dig out all his secrets!'
However, Locke quickly closed the curtains!
In the distance Crawford was speechless.
Beep! Beep! Beep! The magic communication device on his waist rang.
Crawford, sprawled on the roof, turned on his communication device. Half the image of his king appeared before him.
"Bring Reynolds Locke to the banquet hall before noon today. I have something to tell him!"
With that, the magic communication device in his hand disappeared!
"Huh! Looks like we'll have to leave any further observation for another day. That's all for today!"
In a flash, Crawford was at Locke's door, knocking.
"Is Locke around?"
Hearing the shout, he immediately stood up and turned his weapon back into the shape of a staff. He tied it to his waist and opened the door.
"You are…?"
The king's chief mage immediately introduced himself. "We met last time. I'm Aldrich Clifford, the king's chief mage. The king has ordered me to bring you to meet him!"
Locke had thought that he would have to wait for a while longer to meet the king. He did not expect the king to send someone to greet him so quickly.
After hearing that, he immediately held the baby dragon in his arms. However, he realized that Eliza had already become more than twice as heavy after only a day.
Helpless, Locke tried to awaken the sleeping dragon.
"Eliza, wake up! It's time to go!"
Under Locke's persistent "torture", it finally woke up.
"I'm up. I'm up. My beauty sleep is very important! If my scales don't become beautiful, you have to take responsibility!"
"…"
As they followed Sir Clifford out of the dormitory, a luxurious Earth Dragon carriage appeared before them.
