Chapter 11 Your Highness, were you cursed by the dragon you dreamed of?
Sophia touched the cool, smooth, bluish-purple dragon scales on her chest. The edges of the scales had been polished, making them rounded and not sharp.
Dragon scales, and real dragon scales at that! This dragon scale, no bigger than a child's palm, would easily fetch five thousand gold coins in a merchant guild or auction house in the human world.
Moreover, this dragon scale also possesses spatial properties and can store items, making it even more valuable. Selling it for tens of thousands of gold coins is definitely not a problem!
Tens of thousands of gold coins! She didn't even have that much pocket money in ten years.
Sophia was overjoyed with it; the dragon Diding said that these spatial dragon scales could save her life.
When a person dies, they become a ghost. But when a ghost dies... well, then it can't even remain a ghost anymore.
The ability to save her life as a ghost is amazing.
Sophia had made up her mind: she would use the Soul Ring to store dragon dung and the Space Dragon Scales to store seeds.
She couldn't bear to use the space dragon scales to collect dragon dung, nor did she want to defile the gift given by the giant dragon, Diding.
"Rest assured, Lord Distin, I will take good care of this dragon scale and will absolutely not lose it!"
When Diding saw how serious Sophia was, he almost laughed. Why did this little one seem to have the air of a suicide squad?
It's just a spatial dragon scale.
Diding picked up a tree root about the size of a bowl and started gnawing on it.
"Is it...delicious?" Sophia asked, her red eyes filled with curiosity as she watched Distin nibble on the tree root. Was the tree root really that delicious?
"It's alright, a little sweet." Distin glanced at Sophia, used his dragon claw to break off the piece of root he had eaten, and then broke off a small piece from it and handed it to Sophia. "Try it."
"what?"
Sophia stretched out her hands and blankly took the tree root that Distin handed her. It suddenly sank, and she was a little dazed.
The dragon Diding offered her tree roots...
Can we eat these tree roots?
Sophia looked at the tree root in her hand, then looked up at Destin, and put the tree root into her spatial dragon scale.
As a princess, it would be extremely unseemly for her to be seen gnawing on a tree root as thick as a bowl in front of the dragon, Diding.
Besides, she's a ghost now. Can a ghost eat tree roots?
"Lord Distin, don't you eat meat?"
"I haven't encountered any edible animals yet."
"?"
Hell is so big, there must be a lot of animals to eat, right?
"You don't like to eat meat?"
"To be precise, I don't like eating the flesh of scavengers. The carnivorous monsters of the Blood Wasteland eat zombies, skeletons, and rotting corpses; their flesh is rotten."
"....."
How pitiful.
The dragon Destin has grown so big, yet he has never eaten meat.
He's a dragon, after all. He can eat meat every few days, if not every day.
Hell truly is a paradise for the undead.
For a living dragon like Destin, the human world is his paradise.
Why doesn't the dragon Destin want to go to the human world?
Surely they can't really treat hell like their home, right?
It seems there's no way to escape hell.
Even a demon as powerful and evil as a devil cannot escape from hell, so the dragon Destin probably won't be able to escape from hell for the time being either.
Meat...
Huh?
She seems capable of feeding the dragon Destin clean meat!
If the spatial dragon scales could bring things from the human world to hell, then when she returned to the human world, she could have Anna roast seven or eight pigs, and then store all those roasted pigs into the spatial dragon scales before going to sleep.
After falling asleep, the soul falls into hell, then is taken out from the spatial dragon scales and given to the dragon Diding to eat.
Within our capabilities, let's slightly expand upon the recipes of the dragon, Destin.
"Lord Distin, you're busy. I'm going to start clearing the land."
"Go ahead, rest if you're tired."
"Mmm."
Sophia looked up and smiled at Destin, then turned and ran toward the end of the black soil.
hey-hey...
First, go around to the north side of the dragon dung, secretly steal some dragon dung to take back and see how it goes.
As Sophia ran, she suddenly noticed her feet gradually turning transparent. Oh no... she was about to return to the human world.
No! She's about to touch the dragon dung...
Just as Sophia's right hand was about to touch the dragon dung, she vanished from hell as a speck of light.
Upon seeing this scene, Diding counted the skeletons clearing the land not far away; there were still sixty-five of them.
Only Sofia, that little brat, was summoned away.
I forgot to ask Sophia what abilities that brat has. I'll ask her when she gets back. If she's frequently summoned to the human world, she needs to have some ability to protect herself.
Wearing the spatial dragon scales, her life as a ghost is guaranteed.
The space dragon scales contain talismans and scrolls he made.

"No...no...no...no...dragon dung...my dragon dung!!!"
Sophia woke up from bed with a thud, the diary she had covered her face with before going to sleep falling onto the silk quilt.
Anna, with her blonde hair and blue eyes, pushed open the door and quickly went to the bedside. "Your Highness, it's alright, it's alright. It's dawn now. Did you have another nightmare?"
"It's...it's dawn." Sophia glanced at the balcony. The morning sunlight streamed through the sheer curtains and onto the floor. "It's too early...it would have been better if it had been a little later...I almost...I was just a little bit away from stealing the dragon dung."
A look of regret appeared on Sofia's delicate, fair face.
Anna, standing by the window, showed a look of astonishment in her bright blue eyes.
Stealing...stealing dragon dung?
Princess Sophia's nightmare was... stealing dragon dung?
Did you dream of stealing dragon dung and almost getting caught by a giant dragon?
That nightmare Your Highness had was indeed quite thrilling.
However, this also shows that His Highness is a good lord who cherishes the people of his territory.
During the day, I knew that failing to properly cultivate the soil during spring plowing would affect crop yields.
I dreamt last night that I was stealing dragon dung...
"Your Highness, you don't need to put so much pressure on yourself. If there is enough rain this year, the harvest shouldn't be too bad."
Anna comforted Sophia.
"How can we rely solely on rainwater? We also need to nourish the soil. Only when the soil has sufficient fertility can we have a good harvest."
Moreover, relying solely on rainfall is definitely not enough to develop the Northern Territory into a prosperous land comparable to the Flower Language Plains.
Sophia picked up the baby dragon Distin's diary, closed it, and put it into her spatial ring.
A spatial ring?!
Sophia thought of the Soul Ring she had asked the Lich Brian for. She glanced at her right pinky finger; there was nothing on it.
But when she raised her right little finger and looked at it in the light, a faint blue ring could be seen.
The Soul Ring will not appear on the physical body of a living person.
Can it take in things from the human world?
Sophia took out the baby dragon Diding's diary from her spatial ring and tried to put it into her soul ring.
With a thought, the diary placed on the silk back vanished instantly.
can!
The test was successful, and she hurriedly took out the baby dragon Distin's diary and put it into the space ring on her right index finger. This space ring was the one she had worn since she was a child.
correct.
Space Dragon Scales!
Sofia pulled down the neckline of her pajamas and looked down at her chest.
A bluish-purple dragon scale, about the size of a child's palm, was clearly visible in the center of her chest.
Anna, who was standing in front of the bed, also saw it.
Her usually cool and aloof face showed panic. "Your Highness, is this a curse?! Have you been cursed by the dragon you dreamed of?!"
