A Silver Dragon Queen Turned Me Into a Young Dragon Princess – chapter 40

This chapter had the wrong content before because my raws had it like that as well… weird

The reason nobles are considered nobles is because they are believed to be mortals blessed by the goddess Sera, at least that’s the official claim.

The underlying message is: my bloodline is far more noble than you common folk, so I rightfully enjoy privileges.

As a testament to their status, nobles generally possess the ability of 【Blood Speech】, commonly referred to as ‘magic’ by the public.

However, some declining noble families have seen their bloodlines gradually dilute through generations of intermarriage, eventually losing their family’s ‘bloodline’ and thus the ability to use 【Blood Speech】.

The Minster family is a prime example of this.

Their ancestors once had the Black Iron bloodline, but due to generations of marriages failing to find suitable noble matches, the purity of their bloodline severely declined, eventually disappearing completely in recent generations.

From the perspective of the nobles, this is extremely concerning, as bloodline is a symbol of nobility.

Regardless of whether the bloodline is useful or not, as long as they can display a few flashy 【Blood Speech】 abilities, the ignorant masses will firmly believe they are blessed by the goddess.

Nobles without a bloodline may not be immediately affected, but public opinion can be harsh.

How would the idle commoners in the city gossip about this over tea? They might suspect that the goddess’s blessing on the nobles has been revoked, leading to doubts about the noble’s faith or whether they offended the goddess, potentially inciting rebellion to overthrow the nobles.

Of course, this possibility is very small.

The great nobles need not worry; their status and power are evident.

Their heirs marry not only beautiful but also bloodline-rich spouses, ensuring each generation is stronger than the last.

Small nobles, however, are different.

Some lack the means to marry into great noble families and are unwilling to lower themselves to marry commoners, only settling for someone when they are almost past the age.

This leads to the dilution of their bloodline over generations, eventually disappearing completely.

This creates an awkward situation at noble gatherings, where everyone is a refined and elegant person.

How can nobles without a bloodline stand their ground in such settings? It’s like everyone has something, but you don’t, making you seem incomplete in others’ eyes, and you can’t expect them to treat you with respect.

Currently, the Minster family is not facing a financial crisis but is gradually losing prestige in the noble world and their own territory due to the dilution of their bloodline.

So far, the Minster family has stood in the Minster territory for a hundred years, with deep roots that won’t cause immediate problems. But what about the second, third, or fourth generations?

Viscount Minster cannot guarantee that his descendants will maintain the family business he leaves behind, nor does he expect his not-so-promising son to achieve great things in the future.

He has only one requirement for his son: find a suitable wife to purify the family’s bloodline.

The offspring of bloodline bearers will inevitably be bloodline bearers, and those diluted bloodlines that cannot manifest can also be re-manifested through marriage.

Restoring the family’s bloodline is Viscount Minster’s top priority.

As long as the heir has a bloodline, it doesn’t matter how reckless or unrefined they are.

【Blood Speech】 is an innate authority, a concept deeply ingrained in people’s minds for thousands of years.

Those with a bloodline are nobles, blessed by the goddess Sera, while those without are commoners.

In the class-strict continent of Tain, bloodline has long become synonymous with ‘privilege.’

Even if a family falls into decline, as long as the heir has a bloodline, there will always be supporters to help them regain their position.

In contrast, those who have completely fallen and blended into the masses invariably lost their bloodline first, then declined.

Thus, Viscount Minster has arranged a path for his child: become a student at Lain Academy, have a grand romance there, and finally marry a girl from a noble family to purify the family’s bloodline.

Yes, his original intention was not for his son to make a name for himself at the academy; finding a partner is the real business.

He has already scripted the competition, and although there are more than just their family among the participating small nobles, most have been bought off by him, and the few that haven’t are not a concern.

It’s clear that Viscount Minster has put a lot of effort into this matter.

However, what he didn’t expect was that, unbeknownst to him, an extra participant mysteriously appeared in the competition.

“The tongue of a Dragon Horned Lizard, the venom sac of a Demon King Snake, the bone powder of an Abyss Skeleton… my god, what kind of divine alchemy materials are these?” By the time Mo Li returned to the orphanage in Fran City, it was already the next morning.

Mo Li wasn’t in a hurry to rest but opened the ring to check the alchemy items stored in the tower.

Since assassins more or less have to deal with poisons, Mo Li knows a bit about alchemy, not completely clueless.

Each substance has three or more hidden alchemical effects.

For example, Slime’s mucus not only has corrosive properties but also has a hidden positive effect of relieving paralysis.

These hidden component effects cannot be directly manifested, and extracting them requires the alchemist’s skill.

Generally speaking, the more trace elements there are, the harder they are to extract.

Among the materials mentioned, the tongue of a Dragon Horned Lizard is a treasure in the eyes of high-level alchemists, containing over ten positive and negative effects combined, making it a versatile existence.

However, these elements are too trace, easily extracted by high-level alchemists, but very challenging for low-level ones.

But honestly, these things don’t have much practical use for Mo Li.

He’s not an alchemist, nor does he have the talent to become one, so these materials are just for show, a feast for the eyes.

“Kid, are you in there?” At this moment, the voice of the orphanage’s old man reached Mo Li’s ears.

“What is it? Yelling so loudly early in the morning.” Mo Li opened the door, facing the old man’s grumpy face.

“Be honest, did you do something bad again?”

“Don’t mess around, I didn’t do anything bad.

I’ve been behaving these days.” Mo Li said, feeling a bit guilty.

“Then why are nobles looking for you?”

“Huh?” Upon hearing this, Mo Li’s eyes narrowed instantly.

Are those Minster guys coming to settle accounts with him again?… No, with their methods, they definitely wouldn’t come openly.

“There’s a man downstairs saying he has something to discuss with you.

He doesn’t look like a commoner, probably a guard serving a noble.” The old man frowned.

“You didn’t cause any big trouble again, did you?”

“Don’t talk nonsense, I’ve been good these days, definitely not causing trouble.” Just went to rob a convoy and incidentally attracted the attention of the princess of the country.
