"Ava Black Feather, one of the head maids of the Dragon Lord and the Head Maid of the Guards, where do you come from, the Wild Tribe?" Ava said calmly.
"Wild people?" Isha Miaofolte covered her mouth and smiled, not angry, and replied lazily,
"Commander Ava, you've been out for too long and don't even bother to pay attention to news from the Dragon Nest? And as the Master's former Head Maid of the Guards, you've been quite remiss in your responsibilities. To satisfy your beastly desire to kill, you abandoned your duty to care for the Master and ran away instead."
"The former Head Maid of the Guards?" Ava's pupils shrank, and her tone was slightly cold. "What... what do you mean? Are you the current Head Maid of the Guards?"
"Of course not, but no one can say for sure about this sort of thing," Isha Miaofolte smiled brightly.
Ava looked at the other party's beautiful face, but a trace of disgust rose in her eyes. She said coldly,
"Quite eloquent, but I wonder what your strength truly is."
Black feathers, charged with powerful energy, quickly condensed around Ava.
Isha's expression changed slightly, but she still said calmly, "This is Castle Black. You wouldn't dare to move..."
Before she could finish, countless energy-charged black feathers around Ava disappeared, turning into streaks of black light that couldn't be seen with the naked eye and shot toward Isha.
Because the distance was too close, and it had only been a year since Isha led her clan to the Dragon Nest, even though she was very talented and had gained a lot of dragon blood, her strength was only at the seventh order. She couldn't react at all.
In Isha's frightened expression, the black feathers suddenly disappeared just before they could kill her.
In her ears, Ava's mocking voice came.
"Look at you, trembling with fear. Pitiful."
A pool of liquid stains was extremely conspicuous on the ground where Isha stood.
"Hahaha, with such courage and strength, you dare to compete with our lady Ava?"
"What a wretch."
The harpies of the Black Feather clan laughed and ridiculed when they saw their leader frightening the arrogant woman opposite them.
Isha was very angry and felt a sense of shame deep in her heart, but on the outside, she remained calm. There was another puddle of water on the ground, and she said with a sweet smile,
"I'm truly scared to death, but it feels wonderful to leave my own mark in the Master's lair~"
At this, the harpies of the Miaofolte clan, who had felt embarrassed, perked up and looked at their leader in shock.
Not only them, but also the harpies of the Black Feather clan and Ava herself looked at Isha in shock.
No, it's true that harpies are a race of monsters, and it's true that they have a low sense of shame.
For example, how could they feel any shame when they were weak in the wild? Wear clothes? No. Only the poor feathers covered key parts. Eat cooked food? Hardly. Sometimes, when hungry, they'd bite the bullet and eat carrion.
But those days are long behind them. Their status and power have transformed. Now, they feast on the finest delicacies, reside in a grand and awe-inspiring dragon castle, and adorn themselves in luxurious, alluring garments to please their master. Wherever they go, monstrous warriors bow in respect, showering them with compliments and eager to earn their favor at every opportunity.
As their living conditions improved, intelligent beings inevitably placed greater emphasis on cultivating their spiritual lives after satisfying material needs.
Naturally, their sense of honor elevated, self-esteem soared, and the pursuit of fame and wealth became paramount.
Of course, their bottom line for shame rose, their self-esteem grew, and fame and fortune were pursued.
But Isha's shameless behavior made all the harpies present feel as if they had returned to the days when they drank blood and lived in their wild state.
"I'm ashamed of you." Ava recovered from her shock, a look of contempt on her face.
"Really, but I feel proud," Isha endured the shame and hatred and replied with a smile.
She deliberately shook the water stains on her feathers to show Ava, a blatant provocation.
But Isha was sure Ava wouldn't dare attack her in Castle Black or the Dragon Nest.
Just as Ava was about to argue, a towering light door appeared in mid-air.
First, a ferocious and domineering dragon head emerged, followed by a dragon body with exaggerated muscles and a majestic physique, along with a thick dragon tail.
The dark behemoth cast a large shadow, shrouding the harpies.
After reaching the "Return to Nature" level, I, who was in a happy mood, used this spell throughout Dragon Castle to experience the effect of instant teleportation.
"What are you doing?" The black dragon canceled the spell and hovered in the air of Castle Black, looking at the two sides facing each other below with a curious expression.
The atmosphere felt a bit strange.
Not wanting to guess, I asked directly.
"Master, I heard that Sister Ava has returned, so I came to greet her personally. After all, it's far more perilous and demanding to venture out into battle than to serve you," Isha purred, her wings fluttering with excitement. She sidled up to the black dragon's enormous toes, extending her pink tongue and licking her lips provocatively, taunting Ava's penchant for warfare over her devotion to their master.
As she licked, she tilted her head upward, her gaze fixed on the black dragon with a flirtatious glint. She pressed her breasts forward, almost spilling out of her off-shoulder, thigh-high dress that clung to her form, a deliberate gesture meant to catch both attention and envy.
Like a puppy.
"Why does it smell bad?" I frowned and asked.
Isha's face froze, unsure how to explain.
However, Ava eagerly explained for her.
"This is a special welcome ceremony that Sister Isha prepared for me, unique to the Miaofolte clan. Master, please don't blame her. I will clean up the traces left behind."
With that, Ava deliberately walked to the two pools of water stains and used magic to slowly erase them.
All the harpies present could tell Ava did this on purpose, to let the master know about Isha's embarrassing actions.
It would be best if this shameless woman were punished severely.
Sure enough, Ava noticed the black dragon's expression had become serious, and she felt secretly pleased, thinking that Isha would be dealt with.
Though her strength was much greater than Isha's, both were maids of the master, and their status was close. She didn't dare do anything that might anger him.
"Isha." The black dragon's tone was low, emotions unclear.
Isha Miaofolte's body trembled slightly, and she lay on the dragon's claws, shivering.
"I respect the customs of your tribe, but we are a civilized Dragon Nest, and open defecation is strictly prohibited," the black dragon scolded.
Isha, who initially thought she'd be severely punished, was relieved to hear the master's tone wasn't too angry. She quickly replied, "Yes, I will never do it again."
"Humph, am I the kind of dragon who's unapproachable?" I asked with mild displeasure.
"Just don't do this in a public place again. If you want to carry out this special custom in private, that's allowed."
Isha's red, delicate lips opened slightly, unsure what to say.
Below, Ava was equally confused.
Huh?
The storm finally ended with a few words from me.
After Ava returned to the Dragon's Lair, she also brought a surprise.
---
Dragon Pool.
Ava took out five space bags from her feathers, then opened them one by one.
A large number of gold coins, silver coins, and gems rained down on the treasure pile under the black dragon, adding another small hill to the already massive treasure mountain.
The surrounding elemental aura grew stronger. If ordinary creatures stayed here too long, their bloodline might mutate and become that of low-order magical creatures.
But that was just a small surprise. What truly excited me was—
Ava took out a wooden box and opened it. Without the cover of the wooden box, invisible spiritual light soared into the sky.
In the dense magical aura, a dark blue scroll made of powerful monster fur and other rare magical materials appeared in my vision.
Using mage's hand, I retrieved it, and the knowledge within the scroll was displayed before me.
[Sixth Tier: Water Dragon]
Introduction: The water element is condensed to form the shape of a water dragon. It's continuously compressed, giving the water dragon terrifying kinetic energy, weight, and magical destructive power.
Abilities:
Entry Level: Summon one condensed water dragon.
Proficient Level: Summon two condensed water dragons.
Mastery Level: Instantly summon any number of condensed water dragons (based on one's own magic output; the stronger the magic, the more dragons summoned at once, and vice versa).
A Sixth Tier spell! And it's a water spell that can be amplified by black dragon blood!
"Ava, you did an excellent job."
The black dragon's eyes flashed with undisguised excitement.
Fifth and Sixth Tier spells require high-level mages to learn. I reached the peak of level nine as a caster more than a year ago. Now, I'm close to level ten, and a breakthrough is possible at any time.
I had been concerned about what spell to learn next, but now I no longer need to worry.
Though it's not a life-saving high-tier spell, nor one that enhances the body for close combat, a powerful spell like upper-level spell like Water Dragon is also very good.
"But how did you obtain this priceless high-level spell scroll? And the wealth of those five space bags?" I asked.
"This scroll of magical knowledge about the Water Dragon was found in the space bag of a human viscount in the huge city on the border of the Principality of Kass, 'Visalia.' The other five space bags and the wealth inside were found in the southern part of the wasteland. Those nobles have a lot; we plundered it from their treasury."
Ava didn't hide anything. She was very happy at the moment because she made her master feel very pleased.
I know about the giant border city of Visalia. The news brought by Skye yesterday was that the Principality of Kass had abandoned the city of Visalia and the surrounding large areas of northern territory. So, Ava, are you leaving overnight? Have you had his house searched?
After I thought for a moment, I roughly clarified the situation.
Even if Ava does not take the initiative to plunder, there is a high probability that these treasures and the Water Dragon will eventually be sent to the dragon's nest by the Siglinde family.
However, I can understand Ava's behavior. Ava has brought herself into the role of Dragon Nest Warlord and envoy representing her master, so she will definitely take the initiative to grasp the benefits, rather than passively waiting for feedback from the Siglinde family.
Thinking this way, the more I looked at Ava, the more I admired her.
[Identification Technique]
[Biological Order: High 10th; Dragon Vein Warlock Level: Low 6]
Ava felt a strong sense of prying eyes, but she knew that this was what the master in front of her had done, so she did not react and remained respectful.
The information fed back in my mind made me look even more satisfied when I looked at Ava.
Good talent and loyalty.
There are many facets.
Skye, who obtained the contract of my dependent, has only reached the eleventh order after so many years. Ava has only been in Dragon Nest for about five years and has not yet entered into a sworn contract with me, yet she possesses such strength.
However, this cannot be compared. After all, Skye was just a tool chosen by me at the beginning. He was a kobold with poor blood and low talent. Even if his potential was greatly improved by the influence of the dependent contract and the power of the Void Dragon Vein, the foundation remains. To reach this order in 11 or 12 years is already the limit. So unless I climb the ladder of biological life, he won't be going too far. But what is great for him is that I have unlimited potential; I will always grow, and so will he just by proxy.
But Ava is different. First of all, she belongs to the harpy race. Although monsters like harpies are not strong, even if they don't learn anything, they can reach the first order or even the second order after they become adults based on their bloodline. With its flexibility, agility, and flying ability, it can easily kill low-order monsters like kobolds. Even trolls don't want to provoke such difficult flying monsters.
And as Ava is the leader of the Black Feather Clan, her bloodline talent is the strongest among all the harpies in the Black Feather Clan.
"As a reward for your loyalty, I will give you more power." The black dragon's body was boiling with immense magic power.
A dragon scale shed and flew out, with the dragon's blood carving complex contract patterns on the scales.
In Ava's desire and excitement, the formed dragon scale contract slowly sank into her forehead and merged with her.
Ava could clearly feel that a spiritual connection was established in her mind. Through this spiritual connection, she felt her master close before her.
In addition, the completion of the dependent contract has also led to the concentration of Ava's own dragon veins slowly increasing.
In the future, whenever my power rises, there will be a weak feedback to Ava — the blood source becomes stronger and resonates, and through the special connection between the dependent contracts, Ava's own dragon vein concentration will increase, gaining strength. The improvement in level is actually not that mysterious.
The main factor is the potential of the dependent itself. If the dependent is a huge iron bucket, it can naturally accommodate more. If it's a small paper bucket, no matter how much feedback I give, it will not withstand it, only obtaining a part and slowly transforming and improving itself. Otherwise, if one truly bears it all with a weak foundation, there is often only one outcome — the uncontrollable power of the dragon vein, assimilating oneself into a monster that has lost sanity.
To a certain extent, dragon veins are the biomagnetic field radiation of a super magical creature.
"Thank you, master, for the reward."
The first moment after Ava opened her eyes, she lay respectfully at the feet of the black dragon to express her excitement and loyalty.
"Get up. I'm very optimistic about you. I hope to see you go far," I grinned.
It's easy for Ava to achieve the master level. Giving her a dependent contract will not only increase her strength faster but also completely control her in my dragon claws.
There is no need for the monsters at the bottom to use the dependent contract, but it is still necessary for the monsters at the top of Dragon Lair to control power and status.
After granting Ava the Dependent Contract, most of my thoughts shifted to breaking through the caster level.
The key to improving the level of a spellcaster lies in magic power and spirit. Of course, mastering certain spell runes is also one of the requirements.
