Dungeon King: A Lady Knight Offered by My Goblins



The Giant Dragon Dark Lord trembled all over, the overwhelming force emanating from Ethan rendered him unable to maintain his flight. 

It was as if an invisible hand had slapped him down from the sky to the ground. 

His bones started to crackle, and despite his strong reluctance, the Dark Lord's body involuntarily knelt before Ethan.

The Dark Lord's heart filled with fear. 

He remembered an excerpt from the documents he had excavated in the Dragon Ruins... 

High ranking dragons held absolute bloodline suppression over lower-ranking dragons!

"I, a noble Red Dragon, am a lesser species in front of this guy... What kind of monster is he?"

A sudden recollection from the broken inheritance he read, he remembered a record. 

He originally thought Ethan was just a Golden Dragon, but now it seemed he was greatly mistaken... 

Could this guy be the legendary Divine Dragon?!

With difficulty, he lifted his head. 

The Giant Dragon Dark Lord had abandoned all dignity and pride. 

As a dragon, he could not contend with a higher-ranked dragon of the same level. 

Submitting to a Divine Dragon wasn't necessarily shameful, all he wanted now was to survive.

"Lord Ethan... Lord Ethan, I am willing to submit to you. I..."

Ethan circled in the sky, his golden vertical pupils devoid of emotion. 

A beam of holy light fell from the sky, directly piercing the head of the Giant Dragon Dark Lord. 

Before he could even finish his plea for mercy, he was slain by Ethan. 

Given the limited duration of his Holy Shining Form, to avoid complications, Ethan chose to kill the Giant Dragon Dark Lord directly.

The situation took a sharp turn. 

The two female Dark Lords had just recovered from the spell backlash and found only the two of them were left on the Giant Dragon Dark Lord's side...

"Lord Ethan, spare my life..."

"Big brother Ethan, sob sob, I was also forced by the Giant Dragon Dark Lord. I didn't want to be your enemy."

The two female Dark Lords immediately knelt before Ethan, their faces streaked with tears, begging for mercy. Ethan snorted coldly but didn't kill them. 

He slowly transformed back into his human form, ignored their pleas, and continued reading the text on the stone tablet.

"Dragonforge Academy, established in the year 17320 of Dragonia, aims to educate and select dragon elites... for war..."

These were the only decipherable inscriptions left on the tablet. 

The rest had been completely damaged. 

So, this place was a school specifically for dragons?

Ethan approached the two female Dark Lords and asked coldly, "How much do you know about these ruins?"

Flora, one of the Dark Lords, quickly replied, "I know a lot. The Giant Dragon Dark Lord often bragged to us about many things. He was very lucky, not only did he draw the dragon bloodline, but he was also born in these ruins, so he knows a lot about them."

"There are four major areas in these ruins: Residential District, Arena of Combat, Tower of Legacy, and Dragon's Tongue Plaza."

"The Residential District is where the dragons lived, basically cleaned out by the Giant Dragon Dark Lord, nothing valuable left. Arena of Combat is a place where dragons fight, also without anything valuable. The Giant Dragon Dark Lord said that the Arena itself was the most valuable treasure, able to withstand the full-fledged battles of dragons, but this thing couldn't be taken away, and it was of no practical use."

"The most valuable areas are the Tower of Legacy and the Dragon's Tongue Plaza. The Tower of Legacy offers the inheritance of the dragon race, which is particularly beneficial to those dragons who are born with dilute or mixed bloodlines and for other reasons, unable to obtain their racial inheritance. It helps them fill in some of their Heritage Memories."

"The Dragon's Tongue Plaza is where the dragons had classes. There, you'll find numerous recording stones from past dragon lectures. However, to watch them requires certain permissions. With Giant Dragon Dark Lord's permission level, he was only able to view a small portion of the information."

As Ethan listened to Flora Dark Lord, he nodded in approval. 

It was good that he hadn't impulsively killed these two Dark Lords earlier - their knowledge proved to be of use.

On the other hand, Fairy Dark Lord was becoming anxious. 

She didn't know as much as Flora Dark Lord and felt like she was losing out. 

Given Ethan's ruthless actions earlier, she grew pale with fear. 

After some deep thinking, she hurriedly told Ethan, "Brother Ethan, I also have information! I know where Giant Dragon Dark Lord stashed his treasure. He took me there once to win me over, and no one else knows about it."

Seeing the two pleading figures in front of him, Ethan's murderous intent slowly subsided. 

Both women had shown their usefulness, so he decided not to kill them - after all, he wasn't one to indulge in senseless violence.

"Since both of you are familiar with these ruins, you can guide me through them," Ethan commanded.

"Yes," the two replied, trembling as they helped each other up and started leading Ethan deeper into the ruins.

Their first stop was the Dragon's Tongue Plaza. 

It was a massive space, large enough to accommodate hundreds of dragons. 

In the center of the plaza, there was a large stone platform which looked similar to a lectern you'd find in a human academy.

Flora Dark Lord pointed at the huge crystal ball on the platform, "Lord Ethan, this is the Recording Crystal. Depending on one's strength, you can access various types of courses through it."

Ethan placed his hand on the crystal ball, and it slowly lit up, releasing a soft glow. 

Rows of Dragontongue text started appearing inside. 

[Pharmacology], [Magic Studies], [Combat Practice]...

There were plenty of subjects to choose from. Ethan skimmed through them, feeling a bit sentimental. 

It seemed that being a dragon was no easy task. 

These many subjects, no doubt the dragons who studied at Dragonforge Academy had a truly memorable time.

Ethan quickly glanced through a few subjects, noticing several dragons who were the lecturers, including a terrifyingly large Blue Dragon that appeared most frequently. 

It was definitely an S-rank beast, probably the principal of the academy, Mansfield.

Apart from this Blue Dragon, there were four others that appeared frequently: a Black Dragon, a White Dragon, a Green Dragon, and a Red Dragon. 

Including Principal Blue Dragon, all five dragon species were represented.

"The stone stele mentioned that this academy was built for war, but I wonder who the enemy was..."

"Regardless of who the enemy was, judging from the outcome, they probably lost. And strangely, I haven't seen a single dragon corpse in these ruins..."

With a bellyful of questions, Ethan closed the crystal ball in front of him. 

The courses in this crystal ball didn't mean much to him. 

Having the system, he could simply use gold coins to unlock skills. 

More than that, compared to burying his head in learning, receiving the Heritage Memories of the Dragon race was a more efficient method. 

Having experienced the thrill of instantly gaining a wealth of knowledge, akin to being initiated into a higher level of understanding, he didn't really have the time or inclination for a slow, course-by-course education.

"If I get the chance, I should bring that Black Dragon here and not let him leave until he's learned all the knowledge contained in this place," Ethan thought, a wicked idea cropping up in his mind. 

It was a notion that couldn't help but make one feel sympathy for the Black Dragon's fate.

Having seen enough of Dragon's Tongue Plaza, Flora guided him through the plaza, passing through a series of massive buildings, until a tower, which had half collapsed, stood before Ethan. 

The three of them halted before the ruins of the tower. 

Flora Dark Lord pointed to the entrance of the tower, respectfully saying to Ethan, "Sir Ethan, this is the Tower of Legacy. Once you enter, you can receive the heritage within."

"According to what the Giant Dragon Dark Lord said, the amount of heritage one can accept is closely related to the strength of one's Bloodline. The stronger the dragon's Bloodline, the more Heritage Memories they can receive."

"I see."

Ethan nodded and directly walked into the Tower of Legacy. 

The heavy wooden door slowly closed, and a misty light suddenly shrouded the tower. 

Around the huge tower ruins, it was as though the spectral images of huge dragons were gradually emerging...

After seeing Ethan enter the Tower of Legacy, Fairy Dark Lord let out a sigh of relief. 

She quickly walked over to Flora Dark Lord and said, "Sister Flora, why don't we seize this opportunity to escape... This heritage process takes a lot of time, it's the perfect chance for us to make a run for it."

"Now that the Giant Dragon Dark Lord is dead and the Giant Dragon Alliance is without a leader, we just need to hide the news of his death, quietly take his treasures, and then we can easily raise a large army. At that time, we can do whatever we want, as long as we keep our distance from this guy called Ethan."
