SWNOVELXO Chapter 60: Losing Wealth, The Kind Black Dragon's Distress
Loss of wealth divination?
How could it be a loss of wealth divination?
Lance looked at the divination bewildered, as he had been staying on the island recently and had hardly gone out. How could such a divination appear?
The Young Dragon curiously brought her bald purple head close to the Evil Dragon's jaw.
Loss of wealth divination?
The Evil Dragon can divine the future?
How come it feels like the Evil Dragon, aside from not engaging in romance, knows a little bit about everything?
He even knows divination, this mysterious and arcane art. Is there anything he doesn't know how to do?
How should I interpret this divination?
Also, why are the Evil Dragon's divination tools turtle shells and copper coins?
In the imperial capital, diviners use crystal balls, fate cards, or astrology for their divinations.
How come it turns into turtle shells and copper coins with the Evil Dragon?
This turtle shell looks somewhat familiar; it slightly resembles Turtle's shell.
The Evil Dragon wouldn't be using Turtle's shell as a divination tool, would he?
Can a lost turtle shell grow back?
Loss of wealth divination... it means there will be some loss of money.
In the near future, could the Evil Dragon possibly lose some wealth due to some unfortunate events?
The Evil Dragon is already so poor, and now he's to lose more wealth... No wonder he let out a gasp...
"If I don't leave the island, is there any way to avert this divination?" the Young Dragon curiously asked.
Lance used his Dragon Claw to push the Young Dragon's purple head aside, picked up the turtle shell and copper coins, and started divining again.
How could he, Black Dragon Lance, who has always been kind to others, possibly lose wealth?
There must be a mistake with the divination.
After another dazzling set of maneuvers, the divination remained unchanged; it was still the loss of wealth divination.
Lance didn't believe in superstitions and divined again, but the result was still the loss of wealth divination.
Three times the same divination... There's no escaping it; he might indeed face a risk of losing wealth...
If he had known it would be like this, he would have rather not divined at all...
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid of losing wealth. Believe me, you'll have lots and lots of money in the future."
Yes, once she becomes the emperor, she would first give Evil Dragon Lance a thousand Gold Coins for pocket money.
Huh?
Right, if the Evil Dragon can divine, can't she ask him to divine her future as well?
Divine whether she can become the emperor in the future.
"Lan... Lan Lan... can you... can you... can you divine my future? To see if I can become the emperor."
"???"
"Are you serious?"
"Serious, my dreams are always serious!"
"Then I advise you not to divine, for divining your future fate, whether accurate or not, will invariably influence your fate, fortunes, and influence."
"Ah? Is that so?"
"Yes. I never divine my own future fate."
"Then what were you divining just now? Wasn't it fate?"
"It was and it wasn't. What I divined was [Wealth Fortune], which has minor influence. Of course, if you're set on divining your own future fate, I could do it for you."
"Then then then... never mind... I I I won't divine it."
The Young Dragon suddenly lost her confidence. If the divination turned out bad, she was afraid she couldn't handle it and that it would wreck her positive mindset.
Being captured by the Evil Dragon and still maintaining her mindset relied on her obsession with becoming an emperor. If the divination concluded she couldn't become the Emperor of the Farolan Empire... she was afraid she wouldn't be able to handle it and then... collapse...
No divination it is.
"Fate should not be divined lightly, but you can divine other aspects such as marital fortune, wealth fortune, or lucky and unlucky events. Do you want to divine your wealth fortune? You can also divine marital fortune, which is about love."
Marital fortune is about love?
Marital fortune sounds much nicer than love.
Perhaps... she should let the Evil Dragon divine her future marital fortune?
"Then then then I'll divine my marital fortune?"
The Young Dragon's head received a punch from the Evil Dragon.
"Why did you hit me again?"
"You're thinking about divining your future marital fortune at your age? A love-struck brain is not good; it not only makes you easily deceived but also prone to heartbreak.
Haven't you heard? Of the eighty thousand characters in the world, it's the character for 'love' that wounds the Dragon most."
"...."
Damn it, she's the Princess of the Empire, who would dare deceive her?
"Just divine the marital fortune!"
"I'll divine it for you then."
"......"
"You agreed to divine my future, now why are you hitting me?"
"You despicable Evil Dragon, once I become Emperor, I'll only give you a hundred Gold Coins... no... twenty Gold Coins as pocket money every month!"
Lance handed the turtle shell copper plates to the Young Dragon and explained how to use them before letting her do it herself, after which he would interpret the divination for her.
The Young Dragon learned and began the process as taught by Evil Dragon. When she finished the last step, the divination appeared.
"Lan Lan Lan Lance... how is my romantic fate?"
Lance scrutinized the divination, finding the Young Dragon's romantic divination a bit outrageous. Normally, the results of a person's romantic divination fell into a few common categories.
Meeting a good partner, not meeting one, a complicated romantic destiny, or having to go through hardships to find the right one.
Destined to be a widow...
The Young Dragon's romantic divination indicated... no romantic fate at all...
How outrageous.
How could she not have a romantic fate?
With a brain full of love, how could the Young Dragon lack such a fate?
This divination was even more outrageous than the "widow dragon" one.
No romantic fate... didn't that mean... he, as the Evil Dragon dad, after raising the Young Dragon to adulthood, would still have to take care of her in old age?
A freeloading dragon?
Could this divination mean that the Young Dragon would have no romantic fate before she became an adult?
After all, with him as the protective Evil Dragon dad, who would dare to flirt with his underage daughter? He would cripple anyone who tried...
In that case, the Young Dragon's romantic divination would make sense.
"How is it? My romantic fate... is it good?"
"Yeah, not bad. The divination shows that once you come of age, your romantic prospects will be very good."
Come of age?
Isn't that next year?
She's coming of age next year!
Good romantic fate...
Does that mean... next year she could encounter the legendary hero from the tales?
Or an epic hero?
Unlikely...
There's the Evil Dragon.
Trying to snatch the Evil Dragon's foster wife?
He'll beat you to death.
Good romantic fate next year... could it mean the Evil Dragon will become her destiny?
Hopefully, it's not that outrageous; Evil Dragons are good, she doesn't dislike the Evil Dragon, but that doesn't mean she wants to fall in love with one...
Just look at the huge dragon body of the Evil Dragon, the fierce dragon mouth, the sharp dragon teeth...
How could a mere human even consider romance with an Evil Dragon?
Anyway, she, this worthless little Princess, is certainly not suitable...
"How about divining my wealth prospects next?"
Lance was curious about the Young Dragon's financial prospects.
"Sure."
The Young Dragon picked up the turtle shell and copper coins and followed the method previously taught by the Evil Dragon, trying again.
After a few crisp tinkling sounds, the divination formed, which the Young Dragon could not understand.
Seeing the divination, Evil Dragon Lance was first stunned and then started grinding his teeth.
Wealthy and propitious fortune?!!
Extreme wealth and high status?!! Stay tuned to empire
Good, very good...
Naturally, it's because she will inherit the wealth of him, a mature Black Dragon, that the Young Dragon could have such an auspicious fortune and extreme wealth.
What else could explain the Young Dragon's unbelievable financial fortune?
Through the Young Dragon's divination, Lance deduced his own future financial prospects.
He would only achieve great wealth and status when he was about seven or eight thousand years old...
Lance calculated... he still had nearly four thousand years until he'd become incredibly wealthy...
After a brief moment of joy, Lance's face again fell into a frown, how to resolve the loss of wealth divination?
He was afraid he wouldn't sleep well tonight.
Loss of wealth, such a vexation for him, the kind-hearted Black Dragon.
......
In the Human World, within Lionheart City of Keli Province in the Norde Kingdom, at the City Lord's Mansion.
"Louis, are you certain?"
"Absolutely, the 'Lich' that Old Man Lance intends to kill is right here in the City Lord's Mansion, acting as the chief steward."
"Then shall we kill him tonight?"
"Nonsense, if we can't kill him tonight, by tomorrow night the three of us will become skeletons serving him tea and water."
