Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 576: Chapter 267: Dragon Emblem! The Little Crow Who Aspires to be a Hero!_2

The Dragon Emblem is a symbol of identity bestowed upon Beast Tamers by Dragon City. Those holding the Dragon Emblem can freely enter Dragon City...”

”Uh... wait a second!”

Su Ping’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. Freely enter Dragon City? Is the Imperial Capital some sort of place that only permits exits and no entries? If so, given how difficult it is to obtain the Dragon Emblem, wouldn’t Imperial Dragon City be devoid of people?

Hearing Su Ping’s question, Zhu Hong chuckled, ”You don’t know, and that’s understandable. In most cases, ’Imperial Capital,’ ’Capital City,’ and ’Dragon City’ are used to refer to the capital city. However, Dragon City is Dragon City, and the Imperial Capital is the Imperial Capital! Of course, they are located together.”

Zhu Hong didn’t keep Su Ping in suspense, ”The reason Dragon Nation is called Dragon Nation has a lot to do with Dragon City. Dragon City is one of the largest and most unique recyclable Secret Realms currently known. Calling it a Secret Realm isn’t even entirely accurate; it’s practically another, genuine small world! A small world teeming with dragons. Indeed, most of the Dragon Clan Pet Beasts appearing in Dragon Nation originate from Dragon City. The entrance to Dragon City is located within the capital city, inside the Imperial Capital, which also serves as the absolute core of Dragon Nation!”

Su Ping blinked. So that’s how it is! This Dragon Emblem... it’s like a master key?

Noting Su Ping’s astonishment, Zhu Hong continued with a smile, ”Of course, the Dragon Emblem isn’t just a pass to enter Dragon City. Each Dragon Emblem, besides allowing entrance to and from Dragon City, also provides one opportunity!”

”Opportunity!?”

”Yes, the chance to obtain a Dragon Pet. Each Dragon Emblem allows its holder, upon entering Dragon City, to find a suitable hatchling to take and thus become a Dragon Tamer. Of course, that’s not all; suffice it to say, Dragon City has many rules. When I contracted Da Huang initially, it was also due to a fortuitous coincidence. Regardless, not just anyone can take a creature away from within Dragon City; you need a certain level of strength. With your current Realm, even if you have the Dragon Emblem, you can’t just march into Dragon City and contract a Dragon Pet. After all, many of Dragon City’s trials and rules depend not on your Pet Beast, but on the Beast Tamer’s own Realm and Ability!”

Zhu Hong shrugged. Su Ping nodded, thinking, So that’s how it is.

”Besides, this Dragon Emblem is also a symbol of status within the nation. Within Dragon Nation, any Beast Tamer not above the Emperor Level, as long as they are part of Dragon Nation, must show the utmost respect and reverence to the holder of a Dragon Emblem.

”Furthermore, any persecution of a Dragon Emblem holder means Dragon Nation and Dragon City will pursue the matter relentlessly. All in all, it’s quite useful,” Zhu Hong added.

Su Ping felt he had a better understanding now. This is tantamount to one of the highest honors within Dragon Nation. It might not be an imperial edict granting immunity or a Death Exemption Token, but it’s probably close.

And it involves dragons again! How come I haven’t even seen the Crystal Dragon from the professional Beast Tamer examination, yet I might stumble into the qualifications for another dragon? Hmm... if I do get these two dragons, how would I raise them? Contracting both is impossible, but I could keep them at my place! Could it be that my dream of a ’Heart of Myriad Spirits’ ’Dragon’s Heart’ branch might actually be realized? The Dragon’s Heart, one of the fantasies I’ve daydreamed about and yearned for the most, suddenly doesn’t seem so impractical anymore, does it? Tsk tsk, just thinking about it is a little thrilling.

Su Ping found himself lost in these pleasant fantasies.

And while Su Ping was indulging in his dreams and beginning his journey back, a unique rescue operation was unfolding...

「Lin Zhou East Suburb,」

Unlike the Heart of Myriad Spirits, this place wasn’t at the edge of the residential district, near the boundary. It was still within a residential area, just not in the city center. Consequently, the level of prosperity in the surrounding vicinity was greatly diminished. This particular location, compared to other residential areas, was even more remote. So much so, that most people approaching the area would choose to take a detour.
