Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Zhao Qingya and Zhao Hualing huddled under the wall beside the teleportation array, their eyes fixed on Lu Yu’s figure soaring through the chaotic sky.
Flames raged around them, and the streets were filled with fleeing refugees.
In the middle of the street, a little girl in a blue and white dress stumbled forward, her body covered in smoke and dust. Her lifeless eyes darted around, clearly dazed by a falling fireball.
Seeing this, Zhao Qingya swiftly pulled out a whip from her waist and flung it towards the girl. The whip wrapped around the child’s body, pulling her over.
“Hualing, take care of her,” Zhao Qingya instructed, her voice firm. “Come with me to the City Lord’s Mansion. I want to know the situation here.”
Zhao Hualing stood up and followed her sister.
Meanwhile, Lu Yu hovered in the air, observing the Charm Dragon beside him.
“What’s wrong? Don’t you dare to deal with them?” He questioned.
The Charm Dragon flapped its wings, its eyes filled with fear as it seemed to shake its head slightly.
“Spray your gas at them and make them stop!” Lu Yu commanded.
The Charm Dragon obeyed, its scales opening and light purple gas spewing forth from pores on its back. The gas shot towards the three giant Red Dragons like an air gun.
The dragons roared in unison, the sound shaking the air. The Charm Dragon, terrified, hid behind Lu Yu, its massive body offering little concealment.
One of the Red Dragons locked onto Lu Yu and swooped down, its bloody maw agape. However, their movements abruptly froze mid-air. A moment later, they flapped their wings frantically, their aggressive demeanor replaced by a newfound docility.
Lu Yu turned to the Charm Dragon, a smile gracing his lips. “You did well. Well done.”
Relieved, the Charm Dragon emerged from behind Lu Yu.
Witnessing the scene, the surrounding Dragon Knights were dumbfounded.
“What happened? Why did they stop fighting?”
“The Red Dragons suddenly stopped moving?”
“Regardless, this is good news. At least they’re not destroying the city anymore!”
Lu Yu addressed the Charm Dragon, “Currently, the charmed dragons will follow you. However, if they lose sight of you, they’ll become enraged again.”
“That’s how it should be, right?”
With the Charm Dragon by his side, Lu Yu descended towards the ravaged central square, landing amidst the ruins and corpses. A group of Dragon Knights soon surrounded him.
“What’s going on? Why is this happening?”
The captain of the Dragon Knights hurried over to Lu Yu.
“First, I must thank you for suppressing the Red Dragons. However, I still have some questions. Why did the Red Dragon suddenly attack us? And why are you able to control it?”
Lu Yu, clearly impatient, replied, “I have nothing to tell you.”
Misinterpreting this as an insult, the captain immediately drew his weapon.
“What did you say? You’ve given me ample reason to suspect you are the one who released the Red Dragons, causing such misery for the people here!”
“I said you’re not qualified to exchange information with me,” Lu Yu stated, his voice firm. “Your position is insufficient. If you want answers, wait for your City Lord to arrive.”
“Presumptuous! My position isn’t high enough? You have an inflated sense of self!”
Lu Yu pointed to the badge on his chest. “Come here, take a look at this.”
The captain approached and, upon closer inspection, was shocked. He stumbled back a few steps.
“You… You are actually! The Deputy Mayor of the entire Southwest Region? Impossible! That’s impossible!” he exclaimed.
“What is it? Deputy Mayor? This is ridiculous. I don’t remember it being him!”
“I saw him the last time the deputy mayor came here. He didn’t look like this at all.”
“Could it be a change in position? It can’t be like this. This is too exaggerated!”
“What happened to the hunting team? They actually let such a young man be the deputy mayor. However, he is indeed capable.”
“It’s true that he has the strength. It seems the hunting team has really changed greatly!”
Everyone was surprised to discover Lu Yu’s true identity. His youth made such a high position unusual.
“When did that happen? Why didn’t I know about it?” The captain looked at Lu Yu in shock and asked.
“You don’t need to know. Now, I’ll have you and your men guard the area. I’m waiting for someone. We’ll discuss how to handle this later.”
This time, the captain became compliant. He stood aside and waited obediently, refraining from further comment.
Meanwhile, Zhao Qingya and Zhao Hualing approached with a man in luxurious attire.
“The problem has been solved,” Zhao Qingya informed the man. “The crisis in Jasper City has ended.”
The middle-aged man standing in the middle quickly cupped his fists in gratitude. “Thank you so much for helping us deal with this crisis. It’s like saving us from fire and water.”
Zhao Hualing looked at Lu Yu’s figure. “He actually suppressed the three Red Dragons. It’s strange. That weak dragon is about the size of an elephant, or even smaller. It actually has the ability to control the three dragons!”
“That’s because the dragon that Lu Yu tamed is an extremely rare species,” Zhao Qingya explained. “There might not be more than five in the entire Ten Thousand Dragon Country.”
“Really? The Ten Thousand Dragon Country doesn’t have more than five? Isn’t this too rare? What kind of giant dragon is it?” Zhao Hualing asked in surprise.
“It’s a Charm Dragon. Its ability is very simple: it can control other dragons. As long as the difference in strength isn’t too big, it can be acheived.”
“Is that so? That’s too powerful. Doesn’t that mean that all three Red Dragons are listening to his commands now?”
Zhao Qingya nodded slightly. “You’re right. That’s right. The three Red Dragons are all under Lu Yu’s control.”
“Welcome, City Lord Lin Yuan!” The captain of the Dragon Knights spoke respectfully to the City Lord.
