I, The Dragon Overlord - Chapter 335
Chapter 335 – Do they really want me to play with a snake!
“So, you brought this lillend here?”
Louie gazed at the azatas that was bound by chains.
This lillend’s upper body was that of an extremely beautiful woman with fine curves. Similar to the lamias that Louie knew from fantasy. Complementing this were its dainty elven ears and white angelic wings.
While the upper half of the creature seemed to be a combination of an elf and an angel, the waist down was completely snake-like with smooth and shiny lime green scales. Perhaps because of fear and nervousness, its tail was curled up, giving Louie the impression that she was nervous.
If this was according to human aesthetics, Louie would have stared at the upper half of this lillend, but due to his instincts as a dragon as well as a dragon’s aesthetics, he stared at the lower half of the lillend, because, for the lillend, the snake part was the most important.
The upper half of the lillend was enough to fascinate any humanoid creature, but once they saw the lower half, the desires that bubbled up would immediately pop. Moreover, the lillend was a large creature that was nearly two tons in weight. Let alone humans, even beastmen would be crushed to death.
‘This is really beautiful in terms of tonnage.’
‘Do they really want me to play with a snake!’
Louie’s heart burst with bitterness.
Why was this you ask? This was because his own people and people from other countries would send female creatures when they were paying tribute.
This did not happen only once or twice. Not only did territorial lords send gifts to please Louie, but merchants with big businesses in Dragon City would always offer treasures to him when they came. The treasures were all precious gems, gold, or females of different races.
That’s right. It was truly from many different races. Last time, there was a merchant that sent a very rare female crystal scorpion. It was an incredible creature born when earth elements turned into green, blue, yellow, and red crystals and aggregate together.
The crystal scorpion was very weak to the point that any team of adventurers could easily defeat it, but it was so rare and beautiful that adventurers would always capture them and sell them at a high price.
And a merchant had tributed this female crystal scorpion to Louie. From a human’s perspective, the crystal scorpion was at most beautiful, but from a dragon’s perspective, the female crystal scorpion was really ‘beautiful’ to the point that it could make them tingle!
Until now, Louie’s back garden was filled with many different female creatures and kept as his pets. Because of his power, these creatures could live freely in his garden. At this point, Louie’s back garden could be called a racial museum. Even among those monsters, there were hideous and scary phase spiders from the Etherial Realm.
Unfortunately, after seeing the beautiful spider form of the Queen of Spiders, Louie could only be bored with other female spiders.
The relationship between superiors and inferiors is like that between the wind and grass. The grass must bend when the wind blows upon it. Everyone thought that Louie was a dragon who liked beautiful females, so people who wanted to please him would send all kinds of female creatures and beautiful jewelry.
However, Louie’s tastes had been refined, so he wasn’t able to take interest in some female creatures. This wasn’t because he still retained human thoughts. When he turned into a dragon, his senses had already been turned to that of a dragon to the point that magical creatures gave Louie greater sensory stimulation than anything else. The only thing different now was that Louie had a relationship with a goddess level of existence. He even had one with the Queen of Unicorns who would probably become the Goddess of Unicorns in the future.
After having great ‘meals’ such as the Goddess of Silver Moon and Goddess of Night, he had lost interest in general creatures.
However, the beautiful female creatures in his back garden still brought him aesthetic pleasure. From a dragon’s perspective, his back garden was a harem filled with countless beautiful girls.
Louie sighed. He was really unqualified to be a human being as he had lost his humanity, but as a dragon, he was undoubtedly a role model. If other male dragons found out that he had so many beautiful female creatures in his back garden as well as how he had slept with various goddesses, they would die of envy. Dragons, especially males, were such creatures.
But, the lillend, whether from a human or dragon’s point of view, was a beautiful creature. Louie would definitely try to find some time to play with her. For humans, her body was considered large, but for dragons, she was considered petit, so he would need to change his body size to match hers.
In the outer and inner planes, there were many beautiful and powerful creatures. Perhaps in the future, Louie might find some time to go sightseeing, but for now, Louie’s top priority was to ascend to godhood.
After forcefully moving away his gaze on the lillend, Louie’s gaze landed on the beastmen behind Lysfer.
Noticing Louie’s gaze, Lysfer, who was kneeling in front of him, quickly said, “Lord Dragon God, these are the goods sent by the slave merchant Fuze from the Subila Empire. All of them are virgin noble beastmen. I will train them well to become maids of your palace for your enjoyment. If any of them cannot meet your requirements…”
Lysfer looked to the side at those kneeling on the ground and let out wild laughter, “I will send them to Tulip Street to receive customers. These noble and beautiful girls will definitely be desired by humans, beastmen, and even elves. Once they get old and decrepit, we can have some wild dogs eat them.”
“So little girls, in order to become a qualified maid, you must work hard. Failure means experiencing a cruel life, and there would be no peace after death.”
Lysfer’s threat made the beast-eared maidens shiver. Their expressions showed their terror, but the dragon’s might made it difficult for them to even move a single finger. Some girls let out sad cries as they looked at the golden dragon that was more than forty meters long. They thought of how their own petite bodies would certainly be torn apart if they were played with by such a huge dragon.
However, they did not dare retort, especially due to Lysfer’s final words. In a world without mysticism, death was simply death. It could even be said to be a relief, but in a mystical world like San Soliel, it means their souls could be played with even after death.
Louie did not stop Lysfer from trying to threaten these maidens. He was now a lord who managed 400,000 people and would become a god of countless believers in the future. If he was new to the world, he might still have some sympathy, but now he was already used to the cruelty of the world.
He did not have to act like a loser anymore to please any woman. For a dragon, especially the Dragon God, everything in the world was given and taken. Beautiful women without an equivalent status and power were nothing but mere objects.
“How about the beastmen slaves?”
Louie ignored the lillend and the maidens as he asked the topic that he was more concerned about.
“There are 51,000 beastmen slaves brought from the Subila Empire. All of them are healthy young men and women. As long as there are enough resources, they can reproduce and raise the beastman population of Dragon City.”
She kneeled on one knee to further answer Louie’s question, “It’s just that this is somewhat out of the ordinary. I had thought that the beastmen the Subila Empire would send would be old and young women as well as children, but the Empire had sent so many fine and strong beastmen. According to Fuze, these beastmen were handpicked by Princess Andrea.”
As a subordinate, Lysfer knew that she could not make any decision for her superior, but she needed to inform him of all the information and suspicions that she felt. As to what decisions would be made after, this was already a matter for Louie. Lysfer knew very well how to be a good subordinate.
Looking at this wolf girl’s response, Louie was satisfied, “There’s no harm done. You do not need to consider Andrea’s matter.”
Previously, Louie wanted the princess to become his own private property, and Andrea’s selection of elite beastmen was tantamount to the emperor agreeing to his demands.
‘Andrea is the Emperor’s jewel. For him to agree to give her precious daughter to a dragon, it seems that the internal situation of the Subila Empire is quite bad. Due to the pressure from the churches, the empire is about to fall apart. The emperor is planning a way of retreat for his daughter. In short, he wants me to shelter Andrea.’
‘This is also good. If the timing is right, I would be able to use Andrea’s identity to intervene in the internal affairs of the empire. Although the war there is chaotic, I can also try to insert a nail. That princess is also hiding quite a few deep secrets. When the time comes, I could explore those secrets… hm? Secrets…, maybe Shae knows?’
While Louie was thinking about it, he recalled that he had a subordinate Goddess who knew many secrets. He raised his head to look around, but he did not see where she had wandered off to.
Shaking his head, Louie did not bother looking for her anymore. Although they were in a relationship between the main god and subordinate god, as long as the Goddess of Night did not do anything against him, he could not control her.
“Lysfer, I have seen with my own eyes your contribution to Dragon City. I am also very satisfied that you are putting Dragon City’s interests as your highest priority. I will give you those 50,000 beastmen. Select the most robust of them to join the army and I will give you full command over them. As for the rest of them, teach them how to make a living in Dragon City.”
“… Also, have Clooney preach to them. Until these beastmen become my believers and until you recognize their capabilities, I permit you to form a tribe and let them become a part of your tribe!”
“Perhaps one day in the future, you can personally take back the glory that should belong to you!”
Louie lifted his head and looked down on Lysfer while his majestic voice resounded in this palace.
“Praise be you, great Dragon God. I dedicate my living body and my soul to you. May your will be done on earth as it is in heaven!”
Lysfer kneeled down on both knees with excitement as she expressed her heartfelt trust in Louie.
