Chapter 323: Golden Giant Dragon

With rapid advances and development in the Magical Beast Realm, everything seemed to grow in leaps and bounds. Of course, being situated at the heart of power, Wissen Town is of no exception.

Within a few short months, most facilities in the Magical Beast Plaza are more or less complete. Bars that operate 24/7, inns with people travelers streaming in and out, row after row of restaurants… …

Every evening, many will put up stalls by the plaza. Some sold Black Water Fish from Black Water City; some sold produce from the mountain; some sold seafood shipped from Sallero Harbor. You can find all sorts of specialties, be it pan-fried, grilled, deep-fried…aromatic, and cheap food attracts a massive stream of visitors. A prosperous and night market was thus naturally formed.

The night market of countless wonders attracted huge crowds not just to the plaza, but also to the dense forest on its side. At first, it drew a lot of couples, but the venue was soon taken over by a large group of prostitutes. That area then became the first red-light district of Magical Beast Realm.

Within the shades of the forest trees, you could see women flaunting their figures and seducing men, who had a lot of pent up energy but no place to vent. They could be wandering troops and adventurers, single hunters or townspeople, and also single coolies from foreign lands, who came to Magical Beast Realm to work as laborers… …

Every night, you’ll see a lot of men and women wrapping their arms around each other in the Magical Beast Plaza. Go deep into the little forest, and you’ll discover a world more unsightly. Those who are shy would go cowgirl style, covering themselves symbolically using some clothes. Others who are bolder or are in the heat of the action would leave all shame at the door. Doggy style, upright positions…it’s all you can get while having deep, soulful interactions.

The situation continued to worsen until Goode diverted attention to the problem. He sent a large number of soldiers to patrol the area, and the issue slowly died down. To redirect the overly robust energy of these fellas, he set up a battle ring in the plaza and encouraged sparring between warriors.

Be it troops, adventurers, or hunters, most of them are hot-blooded young men. With the encouragement of the crowd, they all went up the ring to fight. Warriors locked in close combat while spellcasters bombarded each other with spells, sometimes, Yang Ling would even send some chimeras or dragons on stage. As time progressed, more and more people came to visit the plaza at night.

Bustling crowds and massive torches covered in rosin…it’s another night that never sleeps.

Bottles of wine lined up tightly packed under the battle ring, spreading the aroma of the wine dizzily fragrant. Any experienced drinker would tell you that this must be top-grade Rum that is at least a hundred years old.

Every contestant would down several big bowls of Rum before they go on stage. Once they step into the ring, they began to attack as if they went berserk. Unauthorized fighting is strictly prohibited in the Magical Beast Realm, but atop the battle ring, warriors are encouraged to attack, again and again… …

“B-beat him to death!”

“Kill him!”

… …

On the battle ring, a Bull Warrior of almost 3 meters is locked in a fierce battle with a human troop. The fight gets increasingly intense, and under the ring, people were cheering and jeering loudly at the match.

Annie sat at the VIP seat and watched the match up close. Beaming, her excitement for her successfully planned spar contest shot through the roof. The Corpse Wizard King sat beside her in all smiles. The two demons exchanged gleeful whispers from time to time, discussing on how else they could make the fighters even crazier.

Amidst the loud cheering, the two fighters on stage began to exchange more brutal blows — especially the Bullman, who went into a frenzy. Poof! A powerful knock and he sent his opponent into the sky, darted out like a shadow and executed a roundhouse kick, sending the troop flying again before he could land.

“Warriors! From this round onwards, those who get five straight wins shall be rewarded with a Flying Dragon Essence Crystal, while the loser shall be stripped of his pants!” An evil smile piled on the Corpse Wizard King’s face as he looked at the large crowd in Magical Beast Plaza. “Come on, warriors, let your courage and power shake the skies!”

After he announced the Bull Warrior’s victory, the Corpse Wizard instructed the soldiers to pull down off the battle ring. To fire up the crowd, he used Supreme Heart Magic on them yet again, stronger at every cast as he loudly enticed the next challenger to come on stage.

He was beyond thrilled today!

Even since he first laid his eyes on the little demoness Annie, he fell in love with this naughty little lady. From her cheeky smile and large doe eyes, time seemed to transcend ten thousand years, and he saw once again his daughter, who used to hug him like a koala.

“Oh my god, a Flying Dragon Essence Crystal? You can get a Flying Dragon Essence Crystal worth thousands of Purple Crystal Coins so long as you get five straight wins?”

“Tch, several thousand Purple Crystal Coins? If you take it to Montson or Bavaria, you could sell them for tens of thousands!”

… …

People erupted into excited chatters upon hearing the great rewards promised by the Corpse Wizard King. Apart from young, vigorous warriors, even middle-aged men with beer bellies felt tempted to try their luck.

The Bull Warrior is overwhelmingly sturdy and muscular. He has severely injured four hardy troops in a row, and regular civilians are no match against him. However, the courageous can always be summoned when the rewards are high enough. Under the influence of alcohol and the Mind Magic by the Corpse Wizard King, the hot-blooded warriors soon succumbed to the insanity.

An observing Barbarian soldier let out a loud howl. He took off his armor and swung a battleax the size of a tire. He spared no moment for small talk and heaved his ax at the Bullman the moment he stepped into the ring. He was exceptional at his ax, and within seconds, he forced the Bull Warrior to a corner.

“Die!”

Seeing that he was now forced to a dead end, the Bull Warrior went into Bloodthirsty Frenzy once again. He pounded his humongous battle spear into the ground and executed his ability ‘War Trample’. The shockwave rippled through the battle ring, knocking the fierce Barbarian dizzy in his head as if someone swung a hammer to his temple. The Bull Warrior took his chance of weakness and heavily kicked him off the stage.

“In the name of His Lordship, I announce that the winner with ten straight wins shall be made a knight, and conferred the title of Baron!” Seeing how delirious the Bull Warrior was upon receiving the Flying Dragon Essence Crystal, the warriors under the ring felt their eyes go red with envy. An idea came to a thrilled Annie who jumped out and tossed an even bigger temptation.

Exhilarating, this is exhilarating! It’s a thousand times more exciting than those dreadful days stuck at home, being forced to learn about magic and etiquette!

Furthermore, little could achieve five straight wins, much less ten. No matter how strong the Bull Warrior is, she doesn’t believe that he could win five more matches!

If worst comes to worst, even if the Bullman did manage to win ten straight wins, he should find Yang Ling, the Lord, for title and conferment. In any case, she could always leave any time she wanted; anyways, that old man Berger would clean up any mess she left.

Annie scanned the neverending crowd and the crazed warriors, and her face flushed bright red in excitement. Her full and plump bosom jumped as she moved around as if they would slip or burst out of their thin pink covers. The worrying state of her outfit fretted and pumped the warriors.

Inexhaustible wine, large rewards that can drive people insane, and also when they look up, they can see the white, pristine thighs of Annie… …

The sight of the little beauty with an outrageously hot figure and the sound of her promises of great rewards pushed the crowd over the edge. The Bull Warrior panting heavily on stage was no exception; it is almost impossible for a commoner to be conferred the title and status of a nobleman. To get a shot at something they could dream about simply by getting ten straight wins, it is a chance of a lifetime that would only come once in centuries.

If Annie were alone, people would not be so quick as to believe her, no matter how pretty she is or how precious her clothes were. However, with the Corpse Wizard King by her side, it is a whole other story!

Who in the Magical Beast Realm knew not of the famous Master Roke? Which drunkard who linger in bars all year long heard not of his great name?

Although people weren’t sure of the Corpse Wizard King’s identity, one thing is clear in Wissen Town. They would rather offend Lord Yang Ling than to offend the smiley but sinister Master Roke. Thank goodness that every time he put the wine on his tab, they could claim his spendings from the old butler at Wissen Castle. Otherwise, the bar owners would have folded their businesses long ago from the losses incurred.

Seeing that even the Corpse Wizard King Roke is extraordinarily obedient to Annie, no one questioned the rewards she promised. Everyone assumed that she was Yang Ling’s family or an underground lover.

The crowd watched as the Corpse Wizard King took out a Flying Dragon Essence Crystal without batting an eye. It killed all their doubts and pushed them into further madness. Of course, no one cared if the Corpse Wizard King got the Flying Dragon Essence Crystal through hunting or if he stole it from somewhere.

“His Lordship, this… …”

As Annie nonchalantly showered promises of substantial rewards, Elder Berger, who arrived at the Magical Beast Plaza, felt helplessly bitter at the situation. He glanced at the countless warriors who can’t wait to challenge the Bull Warrior. If the Bull Warrior managed to get ten straight wins, how was he supposed to confer him as some knight or Baron? Don’t tell him that he would have to disregard his honor and beg Yang Ling?

It would be easier if Annie promised them Crystal coins or weapons; even the debt notes are not that big of a deal. However, conferring someone the title of Baron is no joking matter!

“Elder Baron, it’s okay. This is nothing! Why worry when you’ve brought so many powerhouses with you?” Yang Ling smiled, seeing how Elder Berger broke into a cold sweat in anxiousness. “If the situation truly got out of control, send your men up to defeat the warrior with nine straight wins!”

He could do that?

Elder Berger heaved a sigh of relief after he heard Yang Ling’s words. Seeing how Yang Ling paid no mind and watched amusedly at the fight on the tall battle ring, he felt a little stupefied. It seems like this is not the first time Yang Ling did that!

Arwoo… …

Just as the brawl on the battle ring intensified, a series of angry howls pierced through the clouds. Then, a patch of some strange golden flicker began to appear, shimmering in the night sky.

“Hmm? Golden Giant Dragon?” With wind magic, Elder Berger identified the golden flecks traveling at high speed towards them from the distant skies. He was surprised, “Why would there be so many Golden Giant Dragons coming this way so suddenly? His Lordship, is there a dragon valley near the Magical Beast Realm? I see that you are on close terms!”

From the reports that they received, Yang Ling has a great Magical Beast Army, consisting of Dark Dragons and Twin-legged Flying Dragons. Elder Berger thought that Yang Ling was also close with the Golden Giant Dragons by the sky and that they have come to join the celebration.

“So-so, I guess. We don’t know them that well. I’ll introduce you to them later, and you could take care of them for me!”

Once Yang Ling understood that those incomers were Golden Giant Dragons, he shook his head and smiled mildly. To think that the people from Champa Tribe would come that fast! He fell silent for a moment, then whispered an order to his guard Orlando. Orlando paled and quickly left.
