Debated who to put it under but
Also, other nations would know of a dragon being settled there. So until word spreads where the dragon was killed, no nation in their right mind would go to it. Once they were ordered, it'd feel like a suicide mission and would discover a fortress that treats its inhabitants well, and may even defect

The basics of negotiation is, if I have something you want, then you HAVE to give me what I want for it. I would have never accepted that deal.

Should you not accept the conditions, then it's your problem. Should you screw me over, I can just report to the kingdom that the contributions were stolen from me and earn a nobility title myself while screwing the family over

Horns often have bone underneath...
Given that horns and reptile scales are made of the same material, keratin...

Wouldn't it be just as easy to slit its throat?

expecting high explosives now that they are mining... which can also be a strategic weapon for war

so far MC is a walking calamity for war.

well there are trash TLs that make it seem bad, and there are trash novels where it doesn't matter how perfect the TL is, it's still trash. With a grain of salt, sometimes it's just about getting past the beginning sadly

reasons for sparing his life
• Aunt asked
• told poison girl mc wants him to get stronger to put pressure on himself

pshhh
fix broken meridians... MC fixed like 5 so far

Gold handle

so MC has 3 years to become emperor is what I hear

5th..
1st is auntie
2nd died in reincarnation
3rd is icy bitch
4th demon bitch

how did you lose power
divine retribution
but how
we messed up
but how
we hid ourselves to not be wiped out by the other pheonix clan and messed up then we lost our power
🙄😩 just fucking tell me HOW

I mean it's true... torture kid, don't open...
clan wiped = death
piss off pheonix = live for at least a little more

just watch me rob them blind and never show this disguise again

lul, a low key save deserves low key repayment. Understand you aren't saving his life but extending it by not standing up for him

but MC will probably be the twat who acts like a simp

Can everyone else not discern that he was trying to kill or cripple MC? Even making a show of the whole witness thing. Truly dumb. It would have been a complete disgrace if he couldn't cripple the MC after MC fought 5 other top disciples. The only way to restore his honor would have been to kill him anyways
This was only giving justification of clearing the entire clan when the time comes

basically said he didn't even waste energy on the other sect disciples 😭😂🤣😂🤣

since he wants to put me on blast I'd shame his family
What marriage. A woman who won't touch her man?

personally I believe you are comparing modern world. This is a feudal lord system. People who lived in these times believe that nobility is a higher existence (liked or hated). He's not an 8 year old but the son of the territory. He SHOULD be able to defend the area he's assigned to as he's blessed with education AND magic. This would be their view.

Basically the disparity of their spirit comes from position, not age. A lord, good or bad, would still give out meat they could not sell, and a good lord would hire people to fix up the village anyways. the villagers would never had a hand in restoration built by a 30 year old or this 8 year old to begin with. They have neither the ability nor stamina to do so.

have that feeling chihuahua's adoptive mom is actually the "fox"
