*Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, these three days are the most important for reading. They affect the fate of the book. I hope everyone will support it. If there is no recommendation, the author will not have the motivation to put in a lot of energy. Isn't it a code word?
Anyway, thank you all~ I will try my best to write good articles and give you feedback.

Nevertheless, the Giant Dragons with lofty aspirations… they naturally wished to speed up this growth rate.
The Black Dragoness fell into a deep sleep.
On the twentieth day after the Black Dragon Queen fell into a deep sleep, a team of strong Trolls came to the Rotting Swamp.
After sensing the unfamiliar yet familiar aura outside the dragon's nest, Babatos slowly opened his eyes.
The familiar aura mixed with the strangeness was the aura of the Black Dragon Lady.
In other words, the visitor is the dependent of the Black Dragon Lady.
By the edge of the rotting swamp, a group of more than thirty troll warriors threw the prey on their shoulders to the ground. The huge tonnage of the prey touched the ground, making dull sounds.
At the head of the group, a powerful troll who was five meters tall, with thick black dragon scales all over his body, and powerful muscles latitude suddenly moved his gaze to the left.
Under the gaze of this terrifying troll, a bubble emerged from a rotten swamp about a hundred meters away from them.
A young black dragon with a robust physique and a muscle latitude ratio that was not inferior to that of the leader of the trolls soared into the sky from the rotten swamp.
The black dragon's pair of wings with a wingspan of eleven meters looks quite intimidating.
"Are you the troll leader that Mother made the contract with, Gray?"
Babatos did not go down or get close to the troll, because his dragon senses strongly warned him that the leader of the troll was extremely dangerous! !
Even if there is no sense of danger, just by relying on the opponent's five-meter-tall majestic body, you can know that the opponent's strength is definitely not bad.
The trolls under the Black Dragon Lady are classified according to type as a branch of the troll race - the 'Forest Troll'.
An adult forest troll is between three and a half to four meters tall, with a biological order of three, and some outstanding individuals can reach fourth order. In addition to possessing extremely abnormal recovery abilities they could recover even if their heads were blown up; they also had control over an extremely powerful spell-like ability - 'Plant Control!'.
The thirty troll warriors in front of them were wearing heavy black plant and vine armor that was produced using the spell-like ability of plant control. Its hardness was comparable to steel of the same thickness, and it was also extremely light and flexible.
And the huge, heavy dark wooden sticks with spikes they held in their hands were also very intimidating.
Just looking at this appearance, Babatos estimated that even a modern tank could be smashed violently by these guys.
"I am Gray." The troll leader said in a deep voice. He waved his hand to signal the troll warriors behind him to disperse, revealing the dozens of prey piled among them.
"According to the master's instructions, we brought the prey to the rotten swamp." Gray stared at the copper bell and looked at the master's scion curiously surveying it.
It was also the first time it saw its master's offspring.
It doesn't look weak, but it's much worse compared to it.
'It's been less than a year since the master gave birth, how did the young lord grow so big?'
Trolls are generally lacking in brains, but as someone who accepted the contract as an adult black dragon and was transformed by the dragon's veins, Gray is obviously an anomaly.
Or to be more precise, Gray, who was not originally accepted as a servant by the Black Dragon Lady, is an outlier among the trolls. His bloodline has returned to his ancestors, and his biological Order broke through to Order five not long after he reached adulthood, stepping into the threshold of an intermediate creature.
The bloodline of the forest trolls would only allow them to reach the fourth Order of magical creatures, and if they do not practice their professions, it is almost impossible for them to reach the level of intermediate monsters in their lifetime.
Not only did Gray reach the level of a fifth-level monster just by virtue of the power of his bloodline, but after accepting the power of the Black Dragon Queen's dragon veins and following the Black Dragon Queen for decades, he has now become a high-level monster - the leader of the Dragon Veins and Trolls.
This is why Babatos felt a strong death threat from him.
According to the classification of the senior magical creature, it was a strong existence with a biological order of ten or above.
High-order monsters are divided into levels, but there are powerful creatures with level ten and above.
"Just leave the prey here, you can go." Babatos hang in the air, looking down at them.
Babatos still remained vigilant towards the existence that could threaten his life, even if the other party was a dependent of the Black Dragon Lady.
It's not that the dragon's dependents will never betray, but the probability of betrayal is too small, too small, especially for creatures that were deeply infiltrated by the power of the dragon master's bloodline..
But no matter how small the probability is, isn't there still a lucky person who can win the jackpot when buying lottery tickets?
Winning a huge lottery is even less likely, right? But somehow, a handful of folks manage to hit the jackpot. Crazy, huh?
Babatos saw nothing wrong with being vigilant.
Gray frowned, seeing that the young master did not trust them.
After thinking for a while, Gray still nodded, then greeted his people and left the place in a mighty manner.
Babatos fluttered his wings and reached high in the sky. After seeing Gray and a group of troll heavy-armored warriors disappearing from his sight from a distance, he relaxed his vigilance slightly.
He let out a dragon roar.
Instantly, Emilia and Hannah, who had been hiding in the rotting swamp behind him, flew out with their little dragon wings.
Without the need for Babatos command, the two little dragons took the initiative to fall into the group of prey, and then nimbly carried the prey corpses.
Babatos did not move the carcasses of these prey, but hung in the air, silently watching the surroundings.
During this period, he also glanced at the prey carcasses that the sisters were carrying with the corner of his eye.
" Surprisingly there is a sixth order monster." Babatos's eyes narrowed and he saw Emilia struggling to carry a bustling scorpion tailed demonic creature that was several times her size.
Scorpion Lions, a powerful monster that combines the characteristics of bat, lion and scorpion. It is a sixth order magical creature that carried out their survival in a familial huddle.
Babatos looked at the huge Scorpion Lion that was comparable to an elephant, with the bat wings on its back that were torn apart, and its head that was twisted off by a huge force, and his eyes shrank slightly.
So violent! So barbaric!
Babatos wouldn't be so shocked if he was injured by a weapon, but this injury was obviously caused by brute force of the body.
It is the masterpiece of the troll leader Gray.
'But the stronger the troll, the better, so that it gives me a higher quality of prey after hunting.' Babatos thought to himself.
Of course, he also knew that it was impossible to hunt a powerful monster like the Scorpion Lion every month.
The intelligence of intermediate monsters is generally no lower than that of humans. They know how to tolerate, hide, eliminate traces, and avoid places where powerful creatures live.
Although the trolls led by Gray were powerful, it probably took a lot of effort to hunt down this Scorpion Lion.
Finding traces of Scorpion Lion, determining range of scorpion lion's activities, then determining the number of scorpion lion families, and finally deciding whether or not to make a move.
Before taking action, you need to find an opportunity to lure the other party into a trap.
Otherwise, under the alarm, in order to scare the snake, it can fly and fly hundreds of meters in the air in an instant. You Gray, even if you have a stick to kill the Scorpion Lion's strength, how can it?
Babatos's guess was right. It took a lot of effort for Gray to hunt this Scorpion Lion.
Just by not eating or drinking and crouching this Scorpion Lion out of the group time reached two and half days long.
The entire hunting process took seven days, of which it only took less than three minutes to deal with the Scorpion Lion.
The days gradually calmed down.
***
With the help of the hunting team headed by Gray, the time I needed to spend on hunting has been reduced a lot.
In the past, I would need to go out for at least ten days a month, sometimes as long as half a month.
Now?
I only need to go out three or five times a month. This is not to say that the amount of prey brought by Gray is not enough. In fact, it is enough for three little dragons. Even if I needed to start a feast every month, it is still enough.
No matter how much gluttony the feast requires, it cannot compare to the food required by an adult black dragon.
The prey Gray brought to the Rotten Swamp every month is strictly based on the amount of food required by an adult black dragon. Low-level monsters account for the majority, and occasionally an intermediate monster can be seen.
The reason why I still needed to go out to hunt is just because I wanted to eat some freshly hunted flesh and blood to satisfy my own appetite, nothing more.
However, I learned from my contact with Gray that the prey provided by the other party were not entirely hunted by their troll tribe.
The other two dependent tribes under the Black Dragon Lady: the Black Tooth Tribe Dogman Tribe, and the Bodan Tribe Goblin Tribe all contribute their own share of power.
However, because the strength of the two dependent tribes is quite different from the troll tribe led by the troll leader Gray, the prey provided are only some strong beasts or low-level magical creatures. Only the troll tribe has the strength to hunt down intermediate monsters stably.

Time passes slowly, one month, two months
In the blink of an eye, it has been half a year since the Black Dragon Lady fell asleep.
Deep in the rotten swamp, the dragon's lair.
A majestic black-scaled beast slowly opened its eyes.
Having just finished a feast, I, whose body had been strengthened, stretched my increasingly powerful dragon body wantonly.

"Huh~"
Waw wah wah~
Just by breathing normally, the large amount of muddy water in Dragon's Nest Mire would create small waves of water.
A terrifying lung capacity.
"Um?"
Suddenly, I sense something and cast my gaze deep into the dragon's nest.
I saw that the magical aura that was originally densely covered in the depths of the lair slowly dissipated and sank into the stone walls and the ground.
Black Dragon Lady.
Awakened.
The Black Dragon Lady woke up from her deep sleep.
The dragon body of the black dragon lady who woke up looked a little thin, with thick bones vaguely sticking to the dragon scales.
After not eating for half a year, the large amount of magic power and energy accumulated in the dragon's body are all used to stimulate physical development and growth, and the body will naturally become thinner.
The hungry Black Dragon Lady didn't even take a second look at the strange-looking
Me. She flew out of the nest and disappeared.
A few hours later, the Black Dragon Lady, whose belly was bloated from eating, returned to the nest and continued to sleep on her treasure without asking.
A few days later, the Black Dragoness woke up.
At this moment, the Black Dragon Lady's dragon body, which had become thin due to her deep sleep, has grown back a little. Although she still looks a little thin, it is not very obvious.
Only at this time did Lyanna, the Black Dragon Maiden, have the intention to pay attention to other aspects.
For example, her own three heirs.
