Wilus’ steady face appeared before him.

“Lord, the dragons from Dragon Island have arrived!”

In the sky, tens of hundreds of dragons floated about ten kilometers away from the New Moon Islands, casting shadows on the sea. The imposing dragon’s presence made countless marine creatures shiver in fear, either freezing in place or frantically fleeing.

Leading the dragon group was a golden dragon nearly fifty meters long, covered in scales as radiant as gold.

Every time it flapped its broad wings, akin to two ship sails, sharp gusts of wind swept through the surrounding space, with faint and erratic spatial fissures shimmering in the air.

At first glance, it seemed as if endless sharp rays were piercing through, causing discomfort to the eyes.

“Serena, is the employer located on those islands?”

“Yes, Your Excellency Babatos.”

Beside the golden dragon stood a slightly smaller but still massive white dragon, about thirty to forty meters in length, capable of human speech.

“That’s the Crown of the Ocean, ruled by a human Lord of Glory named Ji Chen, whose strength has already reached the Epic tier within just a year.”

“A Glory Lord who has risen to the Epic tier within such a short time must have encountered some significant opportunities,” Babatos’ voice boomed, “but what concerns me more is whether he can pay the hired fee.”

“I’ve already investigated that,” Serena said, “Ji Chen has made an agreement with the elves to develop Gloria, the lost ancient elven capital. This cannot be false.

Furthermore, I’ve looked into all of Ji Chen’s territories. Apart from his core domain, the Crown of the Ocean, he also holds the Starshine Islands, the Fish Tail Island in Lienhardt, and a mysterious affiliated domain yet to be discovered.

Through investigations into incoming and outgoing merchant ships, the monthly profits from his exports alone amount to at least millions. Even if he defaults, we can recover the funds through other means.

In addition, Ji Chen seems to have an unclear relationship with the daughter of the Grand Duke of Lienhardt, a human woman named Monica.

In the event of high-risk situations or unforeseen circumstances, such as his death in a demon invasion, we can leverage this relationship to obtain some funds or insurance from Monica and the Grand Duke.”

Serena elaborated on the results of her investigations over the past month, prompting Babatos to nod approvingly.

Their Dragon Island had been in the mercenary business for thousands of years, and they had long perfected various regulations and procedures to prevent any adverse events from affecting the payment of commissions. This naturally included conducting a series of investigations into employers before accepting their hiring requests.

In fact, considering the suddenness of this task, they had accepted the hiring request without completing the investigation beforehand, which might pose business risks.

However, given that this was an unprecedentedly large deal, these procedural violations could be selectively ignored. They believed that His Majesty the Dragon Emperor, for the sake of the interests of many dragons, would not object as long as real gold coins were deposited in the treasury in the end.

“This territory is not simple; I can sense the presence of many powerful beings within.”

“Based on the investigation, this human has at least two or more Legendary-tier individuals under his command, and four or more Legacy-tier heroes. He also commands a sixth-tier army of at least tens of thousands of troops.

Such strength places him among the top echelons, even among the billions of Glory players. I suggest that we establish friendly relations with him this time, so that Dragon Island may have further cooperation opportunities in the future.”

Suddenly hiring so many dragons from Dragon Island, the Crown of the Ocean undoubtedly was a land of immense potential and wealth. They couldn’t just let go of such a big client.

Babatos pondered, “Serena, you have more contact with human society. Do you know the common ways humans establish friendly relations?”

“Generally, noble humans often use marriage between their female heirs to form alliances. Marriage is one of the most common ways to strengthen relationships among human nobles,” Serena paused slightly before continuing, “Of course, some noble humans also send beautiful young men and women to each other to enhance their relationships. This strategy is called seduction or the art of seduction.”

“We seem to have no other vested interest in this territory and this Lord of Glory aside from the employment relationship.”

Babatos expressed his confusion but then seemed to recall something. “Serena, I remember your human form seems to fit human aesthetics quite well. Could we use this strategy?”

Serena actually pondered this seriously, remembering how she had heard some Lords of Glory praise her humanoid form when she was in the elven kingdom.

They shouted things like “White-haired red-eyed dragon lady, I’m dying” or “Dragon sister, step on me.” Though strange, it seemed to be complimentary from their expressions.

But would these humans be able to withstand a step from her small human-sized body?

“…In theory, it might work. However, based on the intelligence, the several female hero units around him and the daughter of the human Grand Duke are all considered top-tier in human aesthetics, possessing either great power or high status.

Therefore, it is not ruled out that he simply prefers beautiful, powerful, and high-status females.”

Ji Chen had no idea he had been depicted in such a way by these dragons.

Babatos nodded deeply in agreement, feeling somewhat in accord with the human he had yet to meet. Humans or not, their dragon race also favored powerful and beautifully scaled female dragons.

Powerful strength and beautiful scales meant powerful bloodlines, making it easier to produce powerful dragon offspring.

Of course, because of their dragon nature, the rumor about them targeting strange races was an enduring one. Generally, lawful dragons placed great importance on their own and their offspring’s bloodline, so how could they engage in impure activities with those races with inferior bloodlines.

Moreover, with their powerful dragon bloodline, how could ordinary races withstand their draconic might and bloodline power?

Most of those strange and malformed dragon offspring populations were simply creations of chaotic dragons, with no connection whatsoever to their lawful dragon lineage of Dragon Island.

“That human indeed possesses considerable strength. I can sense an extraordinary bloodline within him. From the perspective of producing powerful offspring, he is indeed a good candidate.”

Serena paused for a moment before continuing, “But we need to consider one issue. Humans are still humans, and despite their powerful magical abilities, their physical bodies are not outstanding among many races. So, we need to consider whether the female dragon form would harm his body during mating.

In simple terms, we need to consider whether we might break his waist or damage his reproductive organs, as generally, humans seem unable to autonomously recover from physical damage.”

The nearby dragons listened to the increasingly off-topic conversation between the two dragon big shots with embarrassment.

Gazing at the serene New Moon Islands in the distance, bathed in the blue sky and fluffy white clouds, they noticed an unusual force field encompassing a ten-kilometer radius. Anyone who ventured inside would find themselves under its suppressive effect.

Fortunately, such a conversation did not continue for too long. A team of flying nagas approached from the direction of the New Moon Islands. The aura emanating from the leader of the nagas shook many dragons.

A legendary-tier hero!

Herald flapped his wings and arrived near Babatos and Serena. He glanced at the many dragons flying behind them and spoke solemnly.

“Lord Jichen is already waiting for you. Please follow me..’
