Chapter 1236: Black Dragon
Afterward, Gold Dragon Kemble and Gold Dragon April left the dragon temple with Abel.
“Brother Kemble, how can I settle down here?” Abel was very jealous of the peace of this world. It would be a bad idea to have a home here.
But of course, he wasn’t looking for a long-term stay. He just wanted a backup place to stay if the Demon from beyond took over before he was powerful enough to defeat it.
It was what he was destined to do, especially since he realized the potential of his angel body.
“You will automatically have a right to stay once you come of age!” Gold Dragon Kemble smiled.
That would take another 80 years, so Abel immediately scrapped his idea.
The dragon island was a beautiful little world. It was like spring all year round, with flames tumbling around in some areas and snowy mountains covering another.
However, where Gold Dragon Kemble was taking Abel looked a little different. That area was pitch black, not only the trees but the soil and grass as well.
Abel was certain that the place was filled with death Qi, the territory of black dragons.
“Brother Abel, we have to take you to visit black dragon Prague!” Gold Dragon Kemble smiled.
“Black Dragon Prague? The one with the life absorbing ability?” Abel felt his heart drop.
An ability like that sounded very evil, and as far as Abel knew, Black Dragons were the most unfriendly dragons.
“Haha, brother Abel, don’t even mention that in front of him. Back in the days he was scolded by the black dragon headmaster for writing that down. If it wasn’t such a unique way of using black qi, the black dragon headmaster would have taken it down already!” Gold dragon Kemble laughed.
“Kemble, are you talking behind my back?” Suddenly a black shadow began to emerge in front of them and transformed into a man in a black cloak.
“Prague, I want to have a drink with you so I brought April and my little brother as well!” Gold Dragon Kemble laughed.
After Abel got a clear glimpse of this black dragon, he was surprised by how friendly he looked.
Dragons could not control how their human form looked, so an evil dragon would have an evil look.
However, this black dragon was a sunny-looking man. Even his words had a playful tone.
“You are looking beautiful today April. If Kemble wasn’t so powerful, I would definitely have faith in him!” Black Dragon Prague laughed.
“Prague, if you want a fight with Kemble, count me in as well!” Gold Dragon April also laughed and looked towards Gold Dragon Kemble with a loving gaze.
“No way, did you get enough gems to have children?” Black dragon Prague always knew gold dragon Kemble lacked gems so Gold Dragon April had always rejected to marry him.
“That’s right, all thanks to my brother Abel, so I’m here to let you repay your favour!” Gold Dragon Kemble laughed cunningly.
It seemed like Black Dragon Prague was very close to this gold dragon couple. But soon, he turned his gaze towards Abel with curiosity
“Kemble, where did you find that monster?” Black dragon Prague turned back to Gold Dragon Kemble and asked.
“Monster? That’s blue dragon Abel!” Gold Dragon Kemble quickly added.
“Kemble, I am not as powerful as you when it comes to fighting, but I am far more sensitive when it comes to sensing a being’s life force. He is basically a baby, but he already had the power of a legend. A legend without using his dragon energy. If that’s not a monster I don’t know what is!” Black Dragon Prague added.
Abel knew his business. His life force was regenerated 2 years ago, so he basically had the life force of a 2-year-old.
His transformation necklace had always hidden his life force, but for a black dragon, a master of death qi, he was able to detect this extraordinary feature of Abel.
“Prague, hold your curiosity. This is Abel, a 21 years old blue dragon. If you want to investigate him, you must go through me and April as well as blue dragon Hurley and his spouse!” Gold Dragon Kemble saw how curious Black Dragon Prague was getting so he lowered his voice.
“Blue dragon Abel, please excuse me. I was getting a little too curious. Welcome!” Black Dragon Prague bowed with a smile and immediately scrapped his idea after hearing Gold Dragon Kemble’s words.
“Black dragon Prague, it’s my honor!” Abel smiled back.
“Prague, take me to your collection!” Gold Dragon Kemble interrupted.
“Really? is that all you want?” Black Dragon Prague asked but he still led the way.
“Brother Abel, Prague is not as grumpy as other black dragons, and we’ve been friends ever since we were children!” Gold Dragon introduced him along the way.
The cave of a black dragon was often found on a hill. They weren’t as luxurious as the ones of the gold dragon, but they had their own distinct style.
The one of Black Dragon Prague had a giant bed with a pile of skulls under it. Although the owner of those skulls was long gone, Abel could still sense how powerful they were.
At least, most of them were legendary sea monsters.
Luckily Black Dragon Prague kept good hygiene. The ventilation in his cave was great so there were no strange smells even with so many skeletons around.
“Brother Abel, this bastard has many friends and we will often bring some skeletons back from our adventures and give it to him as a souvenir!” Gold Dragon Kemble pointed at the pile of skulls and said.
Abel was surprised that a black dragon could have so many friends.
They did not stop in the cave as they made their way forward.
Finally, they arrived at a huge display room.
It was a room built according to the size of dragons and there were many ancient objects around.
Abel immediately spotted 24 battle forts and 50 ancient puppets, but there were still many more things he could not identify.
“Studying ancient civilisation is my hobby and I am a regular in exploring ancient sights. But of course, I have a lot of friends as well!” Black Dragon Prague gently placed his hand on his collection and smiled.
His face was filled with pride and Abel could see how genuine his love for ancient objects was.
“Prague, how many top level death qi gems are you lacking?” Gold Dragon Kemble said.
“Forget it, I’m all out of the luck!” Black Dragon Prague sighed.
The entire dragon race was lacking in gems. Maybe the resources in the Continents were finally drying up.
Even in the front line, not many top-level gems were created there even with the nourishment of the dimension crack. Even Abel had only found a few hundred of them.
Top-level mana gems with death qi were the rarest of the bunch. They not only needed large amounts of energy to form, but they also needed large amounts of souls. Even intermediate gems with death qi were rarely seen.
“My Brother Abel is also interested in ancient objects. And he can trade with you using top level gems!” Gold dragon Kemble pointed at Abel and smiled.
“Abel, give me 83 top level death qi gems and all of these are yours!” Black Dragon Prague immediately turned and said.
Abel was caught off guard. He thought this black dragon was more in love with his ancient objects.
All of a sudden, he didn’t know what to say.
“Did Kinsey give you a time limit?” Gold Dragon Kemble also realized something odd and asked.
“Yeah, she said if I don’t get enough gems in the next 100 years, she will leave me forever!” Black Dragon Prague looked like he almost wanted to cry as he spoke.
“She must be worrying about a war with the Demon from beyond in the next 100 years!” Gold dragon Kemble lowered his voice.
“Brother Kemble, did you say the dragons can always go back to the dragon island so the outside world doesn’t matter?” Abel asked.
“Brother Abel, the invasion of the Evil Kingdom is an invasion between worlds. Once they succeed, more and more external life forms will rush in until every single piece of land in our world is destroyed!” Gold dragon Kemble lowered his voice.
Abel was quickly reminded of the Dark World, it was once a thriving world as well until the invasion of heaven and hell.
As those 2 powerful forces battled, every single life form in the Dark World was wiped out and hell finally took the victory.
If Abel never found out about its existence, it would have remained a breeding ground for hell creatures for eternity.
Abel trusted Gold Dragon Kemble. The history of the dragons dated back further than the Wizard Union and there was no need for Gold Dragon Kemble to lie.
“Black dragon Prague, are 83 top level death qi gems all you need?” Abel asked with a smile with confidence.
Black dragon Prague’s eyes immediately began to sparkle.
“Kemble, Abel is rich!” Gold Dragon April gently whispered to Gold Dragon Kemble. Her eyes were also sparkling.
There were many stories about Grandmaster Bennett. As long as he demanded, every professional in the continent would rush to him.
As a grandmaster alchemist with countless potions, there was nothing he couldn’t get by trading.
“Yes Blue Dragon Abel, 83 top level death qi mana gems is enough!” Black Dragon Prague said with excitement.
Even after all his years of risking his life in the ocean, he only managed to find around 10 top-level death qi gems. So there was no way he could describe how excited he was.
As for ancient objects, those were just hobbies for him to kill time. They were nothing compared to passing down his genes.
Although Abel did not have many skull gems in the Central Continent to make top level death qi gems, he still had way more than 83.
But of course, this was only because he didn’t have time to gather them.
Abel took out 83 top level death qi gems from his holy portal bag and he levitated them in mid-air with his power of the will. Black Dragon Prague grabbed them with excitement and began to examine them one by one.
Not because he doubted Abel, but a single scan with his power of the will was all it took to identify them, so he didn’t mind taking this extra measure.
It was almost like a dream. He finally got the gems he needed.
