Chapter 229 - Gathering of the Dragon Balls (2/2)

Roy was planning to go to the Heroes of Might and Magic world of Ashan again. In that world, there were many dragons, and he might encounter them at any time, so it was necessary to know some information about dragons in advance.

“Can the souls of dragons be eaten?” Roy asked Edrach.

“Of course, but they don’t taste good!” Edrach shook his head. “The thing these giant reptiles do the most in their lives is sleep. Their feelings and emotions are far from complex, and they aren’t beneficial to the growth of magic power. I think that human souls are the most delicious. The shorter the lifespan, the more likely they are to fear death…”

While speaking, Edrach thought of something and stretched out his tongue to lick his sharp teeth, as though he was reminiscing about a taste.

Then he said, “Actually, if you want the dragon souls, you don’t have to hunt them personally. No matter what, these huge reptiles are still very powerful, and you would need to take some risk to deal with them. If you really want them, I can recommend you to Lord Rogeros. He has many dragon souls in his hands!”

Roy finally understood Edrach’s meaning. He was trying to win him over. No wonder this guy is chatting with me so politely.

Perhaps Edrach was surprised by Roy’s growth speed and felt that Roy had great potential, so he wanted to recommend him to Demon Lord Rogeros. This way, Roy and him would truly be ‘demons on the same side’, but he did not know that Roy’s growth speed was faster than he had imagined. Roy was already climbing toward the demon lord level, so he had no interest in joining a demon lord.

Roy shook his head decisively. “Forget it. I have to hunt the dragon souls myself to have a sense of accomplishment, right?”

Edrach understood Roy’s meaning and was stunned for a moment. He did not say anything, but his expression was clearly a bit ugly.

But Roy did not care what he thought. He returned to Fat Tiger’s side and jumped onto his back. “Okay, I should go now. Goodbye!”

“Wait!” Edrach hurriedly said. “The place I’m currently living in is Despair Castle. If you change your mind, you can contact me through the projection pool! Lord Rogeros is currently at war with another demon lord, and we need a lot of manpower. Believe me. Lord Rogeros will not treat you unfairly!”

“Okay, I’ll remember!” Roy nodded and did not say anything else. He patted Fat Tiger, who turned around to run back.

On the way back, Roy turned his head to look behind him. Although he did not see Edrach, Roy smiled and whispered, “Interesting. Looks like there are conflicts between demon lords. I wonder who the demon lord fighting with Rogeros is.”

Fat Tiger could not be bothered to fly for more than two hundred kilometers, so he ran back all the way. But on the way, Roy suddenly felt something and quickly got Fat Tiger to stop.

From the system space, Roy took out the Dragon Ball Radar he had created and saw that seven light dots had gathered on the radar, and they were flashing rhythmically and making sounds.

“Did someone gather the Dragon Balls so quickly?” Roy frowned. He thought that it might have taken some time.

The gathering of the Dragon Balls meant that the resonance signal had reached its maximum. As long as Roy found an Abyss altar, he could adjust the frequency according to this signal and easily locate the Heroes of Might and Magic world. Then he could input magic power into the magic formation on the altar and open a Gate of the Abyss that led to the Heroes of Might and Magic world.

Moreover, this Gate of the Abyss would directly open where the Dragon Balls were… This was akin to a rather unusual summoning.

Forget it. It’s only a little early! Roy thought. Anyway, since there’s nothing else to do now, why don’t I just go to the Heroes of Might and Magic world and collect some information about space magic… With this thought, Roy got Fat Tiger to continue on his way again and planned to go back to see if Julia was awake. If she was awake, he would bring her along. With two high-rank demons and a titan hellhound, if they caught Xeron, they would beat him to death…
