Dungeon King: A Lady Knight Offered by My Goblins

Instantly, all Earth Dragon Laborers along with the Holy Light Goblins swarmed out.

The notifications in Ethan's mind were incessant to the point of being annoying.

[Ding, notifications have been automatically muted!]

The system became very user-friendly at this moment, automatically muting the notification sounds.

Ethan nodded in satisfaction.

With nothing else to do while the Earth Dragon Laborers were still scavenging resources around, Ethan opened the world chat channel.

At this time, many Dark Lords had already figured out how to enhance themselves and hide their information.

They no longer shared intelligence and resources in a clumsy manner as before.

Instead, Gold Coins are now used as currency.

Speaking of Gold Coins, Ethan opened his package.

The Gold Coins column prominently displayed a total of 100!

This was the biggest gain from looting the caravan!

The game has just begun, and many people haven't realized the importance of Gold Coins.

When faced with a caravan, most Dark Lords chose to give up.

The defensive arrangement was hard to handle, even for the Dark Lords themselves, let alone their followers.

As a result, Ethan inadvertently robbed the caravan and instantly accumulated more Gold Coins than almost 99% of the Dark Lord players!

Only a few Dark Lords with gold mines could match him.

[Skeleton Mage Dark Lord: 10 Gold Coins for 100 food! Anyone want to trade? Choose the location!]

[Stone Giant Dark Lord: @Skeleton Mage Dark Lord. I have 300 food, but I need 40 Gold Coins. Do you want to trade?]

[Skeleton Mage Dark Lord: Dude, are you robbing me?]

[Stone Giant Dark Lord: Take it or leave it!]

[Blood Phoenix Dark Lord: 100 Gold Coins for a drop of high-level bloodline Essence Blood, anyone interested?]

[Undead Knight Dark Lord: I'm selling food, also 300 units, but only for 35 Gold Coins! First come first served, only one offer.]

The vicious competition in the chat channel is unending.

Some Dark Lords even purchased Essence Blood.

Ethan had experienced the pain of losing Essence Blood, and it wasn't something that could take only one night to recover.

He had been frequently meditating these past couple of days because of this.

Even so, he had only just recovered a little bit.

He would still need to eat some blood-supplementing spirit grass to fully recover.

Hence, selling Essence Blood for Gold Coins had severe consequences!

While Ethan was standing in a daze, Mia was tilting her head and staring at Ethan.

As Heros, they didn't have a communication platform like the Dark Lords.

They only had a few features like accepting quests, forming teams, and checking skills.

Therefore, Mia was puzzled by Ethan's daydreaming, but she didn't disturb him and quietly watched from the side.

Ethan's body, having been baptized by the Divine Dragon Bloodline, had an ethereal aura.

Coupled with his strikingly handsome face, Mia increasingly found the Dark Lord in front of her less repulsive than before.

Mia quietly walked over, her height only reaching Ethan's neck. Looking up at his face, she found him more handsome.

"No Mia! This is a Dark Lord, and you're a Hero! This absolutely won't work!"

"What's wrong with that, are Dark Lords always bad? He's so handsome, he doesn't look like a bad guy."

In Mia's mind, the images of an "Angel" and a "Demon" suddenly split apart, debating incessantly.

At that moment, Ethan closed the chat channel.

Their eyes met, and Mia's face showed a shy smile before she quickly ran away.

Ethan, of course, understood Mia's feelings.

He immediately asked, "It's late, do you want to eat?"

Mia clenched her teeth and bravely said, "Even if I starve to death, I won't eat the Dark Lord's food!"

Ethan shrugged helplessly, "Alright then."

He then picked up a log and activated his Dragonborn form, splitting the log in an instant.

He called over an Earth Dragon Laborer to spray Dragon Flame.

The small sparks ignited the dry log.

Ethan waved his hand, and the Earth Dragon Laborer returned to its duties.

Ethan was not incapable of producing Dragon Flame himself.

If he were to do it, the entire log would likely turn into ashes in an instant.

He took out a salmon, descaled it, gutted it, removed the gall bladder and the inedible organs.

He found a sturdy branch in the forest, skewered the salmon, placed it on a simple grill made of four small sticks arranged in an X shape, and started grilling the fish.

Salmon is tender and has a thick layer of fat on the outside, so there's no need to worry about it getting burnt.

The fat dripped onto the fire from time to time, causing the fire to crackle.

Mia watched curiously, her stomach growling uncontrollably.

There was plenty of delicious food in town, but it all cost a lot of Gold Coins.

To save money, Mia rarely ate meals that contained meat.

Even this unseasoned grilled fish was an irresistible temptation to her!

While he was grilling the fish, Ethan didn't stop working.

He took out some venison.

It hadn't been processed yet, so Ethan removed the fascia from the muscle and then cut the venison into pieces with his fingertips transformed into dragon claws.

He skewered the pieces of venison one by one with small sticks next to him, creating venison skewers.

The venison was mostly lean and great for drying.

But there was no need for that now.

Ethan had calculated that one Earth Dragon Laborer could gather enough food for 20 people every day!

In other words, Ethan currently had no shortage of food resources!

The forest was so large that it was enough for him to splurge on his own.

Ethan guessed that there were no other Dark Lords nearby, so he didn't need to worry about anyone stealing his food.

To prevent the venison from overcooking, he placed it above the salmon.

This way, it could be heated without the excess moisture being cooked out of the meat, which would make it hard to swallow.

After all this, Ethan washed his hands by the stream.

He then took a large leaf and waved it towards the fire, directing the smoke towards Mia.

Mia was already finding it hard to resist.

With Ethan's actions, her stomach started growling loudly.

The look on Ethan's face by the fire was so gentle.

Mia kept her head down, occasionally looking at Ethan.

Not much time passed before Ethan suddenly shouted, "Ah, it's finally done! Does anyone want to eat?"

Mia was suddenly angry: What is this guy trying to say? Doesn't he know I'm hungry?

Looking at Ethan again, she was startled.

Not for any other reason, but because she saw Ethan throwing a skewer of venison on the ground, mumbling, "This one's overcooked, not tasty."

"Hey, even if you're a Dark Lord, you can't waste food!"

Mia quickly walked over, took the skewer from Ethan's hand, didn't care about the heat, and started eating heartily.

Ethan had a faint smile on his face as he watched Mia.

After eating her fill, Mia belched contentedly.

She patted Ethan on the shoulder and said, "You Dark Lord, you sure know how to grill. It's delicious!"

Ethan looked at Mia and said softly, "Please pay for the meal."

Mia's eyes widened, staring at Ethan in disbelief. "Hey, you ate too, why do I have to pay?"

Ethan pointed to the empty skewers in Mia's hand, "It was me who grill all the food, you ate it all, don't you realize that?"

Mia then noticed that the number of empty skewers in her hand was a bit exaggerated.

"This...this is because you made it so delicious."

Mia's face turned red, but she quickly said seriously, "Wait a few days, once I complete a quest, I'll pay you back."

Ethan shook his head, "You're my captive, you can't leave now, let alone take on quests."

Mia frowned, "Then...what do you want?"

Ethan pulled Mia into his arms, gently stroked her hair and asked, "What do you think?"

Mia was suddenly flustered.

Even though she had imagined this scenario many times since being captured, she still dared not look into Ethan's eyes.

"I...I won't answer..."

Before she could finish, Ethan stopped Mia's words with a kiss.

Their lips met, and they could feel each other's warmth.

Ethan did not hold back and directly wrapped his arms around Mia's slim waist.

Mia struggled for a moment.

When their lips parted, a clear and beautiful thread connected their mouths by the fire.

"You...bastard!"

Mia blushed as she spoke.

Ethan didn't answer and kissed her again.

His fingers moved upwards, crossing her waist, pulling open the bandage around her chest, revealing two bouncing rabbits.

As his hands reached the peaks, Mia let out a soft moan.

She held onto Ethan tightly, feeling his strong arms.

He's such a bastard...

But, his cooking is really good!
