Chapter 427: 445 Malicious Intent_1
Purgatory City.
As usual, nothing was particularly unusual here. A large number of undead swayed like willow branches in the wind, crowding inside Purgatory City.
Most of these were unintelligent low-level undead, and their vast numbers could become troublesome if left unchecked.
So during times of peace, they were treated like simple objects and kept in Purgatory City to be easily managed.
Apart from these undead, a completely opposite scene was taking place on the other side of Purgatory City.
Here, apart from Undead Dragons, few other undead creatures could be seen. Instead, there were many bustling Black Iron Dwarves and Kobolds.
Despite their small stature, they carried heavy loads, shuttling between Stania and Purgatory City. In order to facilitate the transport of construction materials, an urgent railway was laid in the underground tunnels beneath Purgatory City.
Even the scarce Magic Trains were urgently deployed here.
Now, Stania had undergone earth-shattering changes compared to a month ago.
First, an imposing black castle had begun to take shape in the center of the floating city, continuing the Blackstone Castle style from the Land of the Soaring Dragon.
However, judging from its current appearance, it would be even more majestic and spectacular once completed.
This castle would become Otto and Sofia’s new home, so Sofia had personally overseen the construction from beginning to end.
Apart from this Gothic-style castle, other infrastructure such as the central park and commercial district were left to the Black Iron Dwarves and Kobolds to manage.
Of course, they had to strictly adhere to the blueprints provided by Sofia, who had her own architectural preferences.
However, to Otto, her desired architectural style always seemed to resemble an arch-villain’s headquarters…
But Otto didn’t care too much about this. As long as Sofia was happy, he was okay with it.
As for the Silver Dragon Otto, now in the guise of an Undead Dragon, he was resting with his eyes closed at the edge of Stania.
Beneath him, the Black Dragon Otto was like an unconventional pendant, firmly anchored to the rocky base of Stania.
Not long ago, Silver Dragon Otto had replenished a considerable amount of energy for Black Dragon Otto, who was still in a deep slumber.
Usually, this task should be left to the Red Lotus Flame. However, at this time, the hard-working Red Dragon was probably still busy in the Land of Red Flames.
“It’s been a month already. He should be waking up by now…”
The Undead Dragon-like Silver Dragon Otto looked at the Black Dragon Otto, who was sleeping like a dead pig, with some doubt.
When the Black Dragon Otto was in deep sleep, the soul fragment inside him would also fall asleep, preventing any communication between them.
Just as Otto began to wonder, Sofia, who had exhausted her magic from building the castle, walked over to him with a weary expression.
As Half-Elf girl was about to hug Otto’s dragon tail and sleep as usual, he suddenly stood up.
“What’s wrong?”
Half-Elf furrowed her brows, looking somewhat displeased at Otto.
However, he suddenly spoke with a heavy tone, “A guest is coming from afar, and I need to greet them personally.”
“Who’s the blind jerk looking for trouble?”
Sofia’s tired expression instantly perked up, and she excitedly said, “Let’s go and teach them a lesson together!”
Facing this, Otto looked at Sofia with a headache and patiently explained, “Well-behaved. It’s not a big deal, just a small matter that can be easily resolved.
You just spent all your magic and now need proper rest.”
“But I…”
Before Half-Elf girl could finish, Otto added, “If you’re too brave, it might affect your growth…”
“Alright…”
Hearing this, Sofia lowered her head guiltily and reluctantly agreed.
Seeing this, Otto was very satisfied. He flapped his wings and flew towards the distance.
Sofia pouted and looked at the receding Otto, then hesitated, “Wait, isn’t that the direction of Nolan Forest?”
Half-Elf girl didn’t think their hard-earned headquarters would come under attack. Thus, the target might have come from somewhere farther away.
Sulfur Mountains? Also unlikely…
If they went even further, it would be the Skyreaching Mountains, which were recently subdued and had an expansive territory with many uncertainties.
She hoped it would be just as the stupid dragon said – a minor problem.
Sofia sniffed and was about to leave when she unexpectedly noticed that Black Dragon Otto’s eyelids seemed to have moved ever so slightly, who had been sleeping like a statue for the past month.
At first, Sofia thought she had misseen it. She stared intently at Black Dragon Otto for a long time, but didn’t find anything unusual.
But just as she was about to turn and leave, a small piece of broken stone fell from Black Dragon Otto’s front claw with a crisp “crack.”
Although the sound was tiny, it instantly caught Sofia’s attention.
Now she could finally confirm that she hadn’t misseen it earlier. This big, stupid dragon was finally waking up!
On the other hand, the Undead Dragon-like Otto flew at full speed. In a short amount of time, he had already covered a significant distance.
He estimated that he was almost close to leaving the Dragon Bone Wasteland and arriving at Nolan Forest.
However, in the end, he stopped at the edge of the Dragon Bone Wasteland, near Nolan Forest, as here he had encountered the target of his journey.
Otto’s perception had always been incredibly powerful, so he had noticed the approach of this powerful target the moment they entered Nolan Forest.
It seemed that the target was also after him, which was the reason why they met at this location.
The edge of the Dragon Bone Wasteland near Nolan Forest was mostly a desert. Apart from some small-scale towns, there were no other points of interest.
Meanwhile, those small towns now belonged to Otto. For example, Yellow Sand City and Loess City were among them.
At this time, the few monsters left in these towns couldn’t help but tremble uncontrollably as they looked up at the colossal creatures in the sky, despite the distance.
This was an absolute suppression from superior beings!
