Everyone's Class: One Effort, 10,000x Bonus Reward! - Chapter 353: Brock’s Request, Doubts Arise
Brock’s eyes went wide as he stared at Faye beside Aiden, his whole body frozen like a statue.
“H-her name is Faye, right?” Brock asked, his voice shaking a little.
He saw Aiden calmly nod, then gently reach out and pat Faye on the head.
At that moment, Brock felt like everything had become completely insane.
“This world must have gone crazy!” Brock muttered without thinking.
Aiden was a human, yet his pet was actually the queen of the Earth Dragon clan!
The number of Earth Dragons was not very large, but their overall strength was greater than that of the Red Dwarves.
And in terms of status alone, the queen of the Earth Dragon clan was more noble than Malcolm, the king of the Red Dwarves.
The reason Brock felt like the world had gone crazy was exactly because of this.
He was a Red Dwarf, yet Malcolm, the king of the Red Dwarves, was actually lower in status than Aiden’s pet?
“Maybe I was already killed by that Fungi Beast king. That would explain why all of this feels so wrong.” Brock muttered to himself.
Then he suddenly thought of Karls. If he was dead, then Karls was probably dead too.
“Can I still see Karls again?” Brock asked.
Aiden answered directly, “I was surprised by Faye’s identity too, so it’s normal that you find it hard to believe.”
“Oh, and Karls is not dead. Fiona is fine too, and Karls’s teacher, Syed, also showed up.”
Aiden then told him everything that had happened earlier.
After hearing all the details, Brock’s expression kept changing. He looked at Aiden seriously and said slowly,
“Thank you. I owe you one.”
“You not only saved me, but also helped Fiona. I really don’t know how to thank you.”
When Aiden heard Brock’s words, he suddenly thought of something and asked, “How did you and Catherine get to know each other?”
Brock did not think much about it and answered directly, “A long time ago, Catherine’s adoptive father saved me. I was recovering from my injuries at Catherine’s home, and that’s how I met her. Back then, she was still just a child…”
After hearing that, the way Aiden looked at Brock suddenly became a little strange.
In a way, Brock really was unlucky and had run into a lot of danger.
But he also always seemed lucky enough to be saved by someone else.
Irene, Fiona, Catherine… that was how all of them had come to know Brock.
“I still have some things to take care of. How about this—later I’ll have Faye ask an Earth Dragon to send you back.” Aiden said.
Brock immediately asked with concern whether it was something dangerous.
After hearing that it was not dangerous, he finally nodded.
“Oh, right. Can you tell the Earth Dragon sending me back something?” Brock suddenly asked, as if he had just thought of it.
“Tell it what?” Aiden asked, a little confused.
Looking a bit embarrassed, Brock answered in a low voice, “Can that Earth Dragon stop grabbing me with its huge claws?”
“Could I ride on its back instead? I don’t think any Red Dwarf has ever ridden an Earth Dragon before!”
Brock took a deep breath. Now that the danger was gone and Karls’s problem had been solved, he had finally started to relax.
“All right, I’ll tell Faye.” Aiden said.
…
Red DwarvesUndercity.
Because of the tremors caused earlier by the Earth Dragon, the Red Dwarf soldiers at the gate of Undercity were now gripping their weapons tightly and watching the outside with caution.
Their faces were serious, and their eyes were full of tension.
One Red Dwarf soldier, whose face was badly swollen, seemed to spot something. He suddenly shouted to the others around him,
“Look! There’s something in the dark!”
At once, all the Red Dwarf soldiers at the gate became even more nervous.
In their line of sight, two yellow lights suddenly appeared in the distant darkness and were quickly moving toward Undercity.
“W-what is that?”
“Is that an Earth Dragon?”
“Is an Earth Dragon attacking Undercity? I thought nothing would happen as long as we didn’t disturb them!”
“Hurry, I think we need to report this to His Majesty!”
“Right, right! Let’s report it to the captain first!” The group of Red Dwarf soldiers immediately fell into panic.
But just then, Brock’s voice suddenly came out of the darkness as he shouted:
“Don’t panic! It’s me, Brock, of the Red Dwarves!”
“This Earth Dragon was sent by Aiden to bring me back.”
At once, the panicked soldiers stared wide-eyed at each other, as if they had just heard something impossible.
Very soon, an Earth Dragon with a very unhappy look on its face appeared in front of the Red Dwarf soldiers.
The Earth Dragon’s huge body almost made many of the Red Dwarf soldiers’ hearts stop.
It took them quite a while before they finally noticed Brock.
At that moment, Brock was standing on the Earth Dragon’s back, waving his arm hard and looking down at his fellow dwarves below.
“My god, a Red Dwarf can actually ride an Earth Dragon?”
“That’s amazing. I think I’ve heard Brock’s name before.”
“No, wait. Did you hear what Brock said? He said this Earth Dragon was sent by Aiden. Who is Aiden?”
“I know! He’s the human who left earlier today with the Grey Rat Monster!”
“Damn, a human can actually command a dragon? Are you serious?”
Hearing the talk around him, Brock felt extremely pleased.
Just then, the dragon under his feet shook its body in annoyance, and Brock nearly fell off.
“That’s enough. If it were not for Her Majesty’s order, I would have crushed you into meat paste already! Get down now!” the Earth Dragon said in a deep voice.
Brock did not hesitate at all and jumped straight off the Earth Dragon’s back.
Bang!
A dull sound rang out. Brock calmly brushed off dust that was not even there from his clothes. Then, under the jealous eyes of the Red Dwarf soldiers, he turned to the Earth Dragon and said,
“All right, you can go back now.”
Just then, the Earth Dragon, which was about to leave, suddenly raised its head, narrowed its eyes, and looked toward the top of the wall of Red DwarvesUndercity.
Several figures suddenly appeared there.
Fiona, Karls, Syed, and Malcolm, the king of the Red Dwarves, all looked down at the Earth Dragon, their eyes full of confusion and doubt.
“Grandpa Brock!” Fiona shouted excitedly the moment she saw Brock.
She jumped straight down from the wall, hitting the ground heavily and kicking up a cloud of dust.
“That’s great! I’m so glad you’re okay!” Fiona rushed to Brock’s side at once and said excitedly.
Brock’s eyes were full of guilt and self-blame. He wanted to say something, but then he saw Malcolm, Karls, and Syed also come down to the ground.
“What is going on here?” As the king of the Red Dwarves, Malcolm was naturally focused on the Earth Dragon.
The Earth Dragon clan was very powerful, but as long as no one disturbed them, there usually would not be any conflict.
Brock glanced at Malcolm. There was no respect on his face as he replied calmly,
“It’s nothing. This Earth Dragon was sent by my friend Aiden to bring me back.”
“Don’t worry. It means no harm.”
When he heard Aiden’s name, Malcolm froze for a moment.
Wasn’t Aiden supposed to be under Marcus and the others’ protection, going to hunt a Mythic Rank the Abyss creature?
Wait!
This Earth Dragon was sent by Aiden?
Malcolm’s eyes widened, and he quickly asked, “Aiden can command an Earth Dragon?”
Brock lifted his chin and answered, “Surprised?”
“Aiden has a Pure-blood Dragon Clan pet named Faye, and Faye just happens to be the queen of the Earth Dragon clan.”
As soon as those words were spoken, Syed, Malcolm, Karls, and Fiona all froze where they stood.
The queen of the Earth Dragon clan was Aiden’s pet?
Malcolm felt that Brock had to be out of his mind. As the king of the Red Dwarves, there was no way he could believe such a thing.
If even he met the queen of the Earth Dragon clan, he would have to treat her with respect if he wanted to avoid a conflict between the Red Dwarves Clan and the Earth Dragon clan.
Could someone like that really be Aiden’s pet?
“Brock, did something terrible happen to you? Did it affect your Spirit?” Malcolm asked with a frown.
If Brock had said that Aiden just happened to know the queen of the Earth Dragon clan, Malcolm might still have believed it.
Even Fiona, who had known Aiden for some time, was looking at Brock with doubt at this moment.
Fiona could not help asking, “Grandpa Brock, did you really see Aiden?”
Seeing that Malcolm and the others did not believe him, Brock immediately turned to the Earth Dragon and said,
“You tell them. Was what I just said true or not?”
The Earth Dragon fell silent.
Her Majesty was a human’s pet. How was he supposed to say something like that out loud?
But that really was the truth. Not only had Clan Leader Damian not killed that human, he had even sent him to escort this Red Dwarf back to Undercity.
“I really don’t know what the clan leader is thinking… sigh…” the Earth Dragon thought to himself. He did not want to answer Brock. He only wanted to leave.
When Malcolm and Syed saw the Earth Dragon’s reaction, they became even more convinced that something might be wrong with Brock’s Spirit.
Brock instantly grew anxious.
He took a deep breath and said to the Earth Dragon again, “You don’t have to say it. If what I said is true, just nod.”
“I’m Aiden’s friend, so naturally I’m also on good terms with your queen.”
The Earth Dragon hesitated. After thinking for quite a while, he finally nodded and said in a deep voice, “My task is complete. I’m leaving.”
Without any hesitation, the Earth Dragon left at top speed.
Seeing this, Brock finally let out a sigh of relief.
Now the Red Dwarves should no longer think he was lying.
With that thought, Brock turned around and looked at Malcolm and the others.
