Chapter 455: Use It Now, But Don’t Wear It

The black seal was a magic ring. Link studied it carefully, and information appeared in his vision.
Dragon Duke’s Obsidian Seal (Rechargeable)
Legendary
Effect 1: Instantaneously creates a Level-12 shield after activating (3/3)
Effect 2: Teleportation from five to 50 miles (3/3)
Effect 3: Summon the Red Dragon Queen!
(Note: According to dragon tradition, dragons who possess the black seal will automatically become the only candidate for the Red Dragon Queen’s companion.)
This seal was useful. It was a shield that could transport him—it was practically lifesaving. The note made Link speechless though. Didn’t “only candidate” basically mean future husband?
The Red Dragon Queen did something like this without telling him again.
No, I can’t take this. It’ll cause problems. How will I explain to Celine later?
Link troubled over this for a long while. Finally, he used the Magician’s Hand to place the seal on the table beside him. With the soft clack, he stopped thinking about it.
Materialize rewards, he told the game system.
Ding! His vision flashed, and a money pouch-like thing appeared in his hands. He opened it to see 50 Jogu that looked like white Go pieces.
He got 50 from this mission. With the 25 from the last mission, he now had 75 Jogu. Aisenis had said that if Link gave him 300 Jogu, he would provide the way to mend the crack.
It wasn’t far away now.
However, he wouldn’t get Epic missions every day. Link decided that after his body recovered, he would go to relics to find Jogu. Right, he could also give rewards for people to help him look.
Other than Jogu, there was also a heavy dark blue belt. Looking at it, the messages appeared.
Assassin’s Dragon King Belt
Lower-Order Legendary (11)
Effect: Activates the Infinite Dragon Power effect. The user’s Dragon Power recovery rate increases by 1000% for 20 seconds. This effect can be used once per month.
(Note: With this, you no longer have to worry about using up Dragon Power.)
“Great.” Link put away the belt.
He didn’t have anything else to do, so he took out the book Dragon to read. He’d been studying the contents for half a month but still only knew the basics. If he wanted to study it all, it would take one or two years.
Link had an idea. Dragons and humans are from the same source. If I can find the secret to Dragon Power and transform it into a battle art, there will be many more powerful humans. At that time, they won’t be bullied by others anymore.
With this goal in mind, Link grew even more serious.
Time flew by and half a day passed. There was a sudden sound by the door. Link looked over to see Gretel walk in with some food.
She took a few steps and saw the black seal Link put on the table. Her steps faltered, but she didn’t stop. Gretel continued forward and placed the food on the table. Picking up the seal, she asked casually, “How come you put it here?”
Link was still focused on the book. Hearing the question, he looked up. Seeing Gretel holding the seal, he instantly felt awkward. After a pregnant pause, he shrugged. “I saw a book in the library, called Traditional Power. It introduced the seal. I don’t think I’m suitable for a duke.”
He actually hadn’t read that book, but he’d seen the title at the library, so he just stole it.
“A mortal’s life is short. I can wait for 100 years later.” Since Link knew, Gretel didn’t have to hide it anymore. She handed the seal to him.
Link felt awkward. This was his first time in a situation like this, but the Red Dragon Queen had lived for 2000 years. She could calmly face these things but Link couldn’t.
He didn’t know what to do. If he rejected her, he would feel heartless. If he accepted, he would be heartless to Celine. He was caught.
Seeing him like this, Gretel burst into laughter. She suddenly realized that this powerful Legendary Magician was only a 20-year-old young man and she had been so scared of getting rejected.
This gave her a psychological advantage. She tossed the seal into Link’s lap, saying, “Take it, kid. Only the elders know this tradition. Even the younger dragons don’t know. Just take it. You don’t have to wear it; just protect yourself. When you think it through, wear it on your left middle finger, and I’ll sense it.”
This was well-said and immediately soothed Link’s troubles. He was realistic. Hearing the queen’s words, he quickly put the seal away. “Then I’ll take it.”
Grinning, Gretel brought over a bowl of soup and set the spoon down. “I was ready to feed you. So many people want me to feed them, but I know you won’t accept it. Here, do it yourself. This soup is made from the purple moon cassava grown in the Moonlight Forest in the south of the Dragon Valley. It’s miraculous for healing. Drink it while it’s still hot.”
“Oh, okay.” Link sniffed, and a rich aroma hit his nose. His appetite was awakened. He took a sip; the aromatic softness tasted great. He quickly slurped the soup down.
Gretel sat beside the bed. Seeing how happy Link was while eating, she couldn’t help but smile. As expected, under the Legendary Magician, he was just a kid who hadn’t experienced much.
This bratty kid.
When Link was done, Gretel asked, “How was it?”
Link felt a warm current flow through his stomach. He rubbed his stomach gently. It had hurt before, but with this warmth, the pain was gone.
He nodded continuously. “It’s delicious.”
