Book 7: Chapter 423: Rumors of the Cursed Land and the Strange Atmosphere at Dolan City’s Magic Train Station

The sealed box Bella obtained from Fallen Angel Monarch Jasmine contained a secret key of the Dragon Race. There was ancient dragon text on top of the box that neither did she nor the several dragon princesses around recognized. However, the one thing she didn’t lack by her side was dragon beauties. After getting Goddess of Light Saldina out of the way, Bella used contract magic to summon the other dragon beauties over to ask questions.

Even though Bella was tempted to just push down Goddess of Light Saldina in front of the Radiant Pope and the other dragon princesses, it would cause the last of their faith to collapse. However, considering the stronger God Race Princess Goddess Suzia was also staying at St. Michael’s Cathedral, it was better to “deal” with her first before. There would be less to worry about. Besides, the Goddess of Light was temporarily blind, and it was no fun to push her down like that.

Bella summoned the remaining demonic and other dragon type beauties, Thunder Dragon Queen Geleman, New Moon Demonic Dragon Dorothea, Sea Demonic Dragon Amybeth, Crystal Dragon Princess Purple Crystal, Emerald Demonic Dragon Princess Bess, and Gem Dragon Queen Lolifel. When they saw the erotic scene on the throne, the beauties looked shocked for a moment, but they quickly calmed down since they had already tried much more humiliating things. What Bella was currently doing wasn’t super erotic anyway; it was still within an acceptable region.

There were also the dragons outside of specification, Collapsing Evil Dragon Emperor Lolita and Devouring Holy Dragon Euphenisia. Everyone became much quieter when these two dragon girls appeared. After all, the strength gap was humongous, so they had higher speaking rights here. Despite their loli appearances, they were the strongest. Sometimes, figures and strengths really were disproportionate.

The dragon princesses forgot their shame for a moment. The strength of those demonic and exotic dragons was truly over the top. When it came to a six vs. six fight, other than Radiant Holy Dragon Princess Hetivil, who could hold on for a bit, the other five would quickly lose. There was indeed a large disparity between them. What surprised them even more was that these demonic and exotic dragons were the same as them—They were all Bella’s belongings. It seemed like this demoness who apparently only knew erotic things was actually hiding a lot of secrets.

“There you are. I have a box here. You… Wait. I think you guys should do the same as them; otherwise, they might have to find a hole to crawl into.”

“Mistress Bella, then, should we also…”

“Hm, Lolita, you and Euphenisia don’t have to. You two are pretty enough just like this.”

Under Bella’s wicked commands, the demonic and exotic dragon beauties removed the armors and clothes without hesitation and walked a short distance before Bella. Then, they sat in a kneeling position and awaited her instructions. Bella currently had six dragon princesses serving her right now. Even if they wanted to serve her, there was no space.

Compared to the fearful and shy expressions on those dragon princesses, these demonic and exotic dragon beauties were much bolder, their expressions mostly submissive. They had already been bullied by Bella many times. Even if they weren’t used to it at first, they had long been bullied into submission. Now, they didn’t need any verbal commands from Bella. Just one look was enough for them to know what to do.

Lolita and Euphenisia didn’t have to take off their clothes. Both of them had enough strength to 1v12 anyone here, even defeating them instantly. It wasn’t that Bella didn’t have any evil thoughts about them; she just thought that it was better to leave them for the last before “eating them up”. Only Lolita and Euphenisia were able to understand the ancient dragon text on the box. They had some caution on their faces as if they had discovered some amazing secret.

“Mistress Bella, this should be the key to the Cursed Land. I didn’t think that she would come to this dimension too… Euphenisia, when was the last time you saw that girl?”

“It’s been a long time. I don’t remember how long anymore. However, wasn’t she sealed by one of those Saviors?”

“That’s only a rumor. The guys in the Savior Camp might not be able to defeat her even if they were one of the Fates. They just tricked her into a sealed place and locked the doors on her. But why is the exit in this dimension? How strange. It should be in a different dimension instead.”

Bella finally understood the key’s purpose after listening to them. The Cursed Land was the place where the Savior Camp sealed all sorts of traitors. The strongest deviant there should be the existence known as the Cursed Dragon. No one knew of the Cursed Dragon’s origins, but according to rumors, she was on the same level as Collapsing Evil Dragon Emperor Lolita and Devouring Holy Dragon Euphenisia. She was created and summoned by the Savior Camp for the sake of fighting these two evil dragon lolis.

However, due to the Cursed Dragon’s terrifying strength, the Savior Camp eventually tricked her into the Cursed Land, sealing her there. Then, the key to the entrance was also secretly hidden away. Who knew how it ended up in the hands of Fallen Angel Jasmine, and Bella forgot to ask about it when she bought the box. Now, buying a dangerous key with a couple hundred thousand gold coins really felt like a huge loss.

“Bella, the entrance should appear in a certain region east of this continent. Based on what’s recorded on the box, you should take note. Also, I believe the key you have is a replica. This isn’t the original key. There are several replicas.”

“How troublesome. If any one of those active Twelve Demon Kings gets their hands on the replicas, that would be annoying. The monsters in the sealed region shouldn’t be much weaker than the demonic beings of the abyss.”

“Never mind, we’ll think about it next time. Let’s focus on the fun things now. Lolita, you and Euphenisia give them a hand. Don’t let anyone come in and interrupt before tomorrow morning. If it’s Lisha, Kriss, and the others, just inform me. I’ll give you guys candy as a reward tomorrow.”

Bella got the two curious lolis to go and began enjoying herself. The matter of the Cursed Key was also not in her mind for the time being. Now, it was better for her to enjoy the service of the dragon princesses. As the door closed, Radiant Holy Dragon Princess Hetivil and the others wholly surrendered. 

Afterward, none of them could quite remember the strange things that happened. By the time they recovered their senses, they couldn’t even be clear of who they were embracing anymore. They would get intimate with whoever they could get their hands on, whether they were a dragon princess, a demonic dragon, or an exotic dragon.

These rotten acts continued until the next morning. When the sun shone in and illuminated the hall, Bella finally got up from the pile of beautiful ladies. The fair and delicate bodies shimmered alluringly under the reflection of the sunlight. To Bella, they were her exclusive mounts, and she would at most share them with Lisha and her other girl friends.

Yesterday was wild. For the completely immoral Bella, she would directly have the dragon princesses embrace and make out with the demonic and exotic dragons. The two sides were already burning with passion and could not refuse her orders at all. They could only sink deeper and deeper into the “lily abyss”. Right now, other than Radiant Holy Dragon Hetivil, who hadn’t completely fallen, the other five dragon princesses were ticked off the list. Still, it was only a matter of time before Hetivil fell. The five dragon princesses would pull her down no matter what.

When Bella looked at the throne and saw the sleeping Radiant Pope Goldsmith and Roxanne, a wicked expression appeared on her face. She had finally gotten to experience bullying the Radiant Pope, the most important subordinate of the Goddess of Light. That was a different experience. She went over to the two popes and gave them a light slap with her evil hands. The sounds of her palm were crisp. The two Radiant Popes, who were slapped on the butt, were forced to open their eyes at the strange and numb feeling.

“Time to get up, lazy kittens. Doesn’t the Radiant Church have to get up early every morning to pray? You’re about to be late.”

Both Goldsmith and Roxanne looked ashamed, and their cheeks were so red that they almost burned. They couldn’t get up because the naughty Bella had almost bullied them to the point of breaking last night. Right now, they were still numb and had no strength in their legs. Wasn’t she just making it hard for them on purpose, telling them to get up? But they didn’t even have the strength to speak right now.

Fortunately, Bella was considerate to these human beauties. She let them rest just as it was about to be too much for them. But those dragon beauties didn’t have it as easy. The two of them saw with their own eyes how Bella had tormented those dragon beauties until they had broken expressions on their faces before stopping. That was the difference between a dragon beauty and a human. For dragons, you had to strip them of all their strength before they would fully acknowledge you as their master.

“Alright, I”m not going to tease you guys anymore. When I’m off to the Aldridge Empire, I’ll leave St. Michael’s Cathedral in your hands. Help me take care of those two goddesses well. Right, don’t you get any funny ideas. I can come back to see you girls any time with teleportation. You also have very strong Demonic Beings dedicated to protecting your safety.”

After she was done talking to them,  Bella kissed each of the beautiful girls present and left. Even though she didn’t think the two Radiant Popes would dare to escape, it was necessary to set them straight as a precaution. With her hobby of collecting beautiful girls, there was no way Bella would ever allow her belongings to escape from her.

Outside the door, Bella saw Lolita and Euphenisia snuggled up and sleeping with their heads against each other. These two terrifying lolitas who didn’t really like each other could still be quite harmonious when they were quiet. Bella couldn’t bear to wake them up, so she quietly went over to them. At Lolita’s side, she discovered a magical letter from the Angelos Duchy.

This magical letter had arrived last night. However, Lolita could feel that Bella wouldn’t want anyone to disturb her fun, so she just kept it without sending it in. But after Bella woke up today, she realized this was an urgent letter. She quickly opened it and began reading. As it turned out, the letter was written by Dragon Mage Grand Duke Baize’s deputy, the second-in-command of Bella’s false identity, the Angelos Duchy’s Marquess Karoluna.

According to the letter, the Aldridge Empire had temporarily banned the use of magical teleportation arrays in the entire country and would support magical trains instead. The exact reason was unknown, and the empire was unwilling to reveal it. Karoluna was still in the middle of investigating it. However, something big must have happened, as the Emperor himself passed a secret decree to every noble above the rank of duke, allowing them to more than double the size of their regular private armies.

These were measures taken only before an imminent war. The Emperor did not want his nobles to be able to compete with him in terms of military power. Therefore, it must be quite an emergency for him to let the nobles quickly expand their armies. The reason was still unknown at the moment, but Bella’s plan to teleport was foiled. Due to this temporary policy, the students and mentors of the Olsylvia Academy could only arrive at Dolan, the teleportation center on the Aldridge Empire’s border, just like the other twelve academies. They could then take a magic train from Dolan to the city of the competition, the eastern coastal city of Oldrango.

The students of Olsylvia Academy departed earlier, while the next door art school Antoinette Academy and Alessandra Academy only left the next day. They were busy preparing the transportation fee for teleporting to Dolan City. Since the Rose Society had paid the teleportation fee in advance for the Olsylvia Academy, they became the first to reach Dolan City.

Dolan City, a border town and teleportation center of the Aldridge Empire, was the origin of the first magic train of the Nation of Arcana. The magic train’s design was sold to them several thousand years ago by the Manasvir Empire’s empress, transmigrator Manya Felan. After the alteration of their mages, it had been transformed into an Other world version of a magic train and railroad.

Compared to the magical teleportation array, the cost to create a magical train was much lower. Although it also required the use of a demonic beast core as an energy source, the required materials were much cheaper than the magical teleportation array. Due to how proud mages were, however, they would rather use the costlier magical teleportation array than the cheap magic train in order to maintain their noble status, as they believed the latter would lower them.

Therefore, magic trains were mainly used to transport large cargo and foreigners. The Aldridge Empire’s own citizens did not want to use the magic train. Who knew what Empress Manya Felan, who had transferred the technology over to them in the first place, would think if she knew about this. If it weren’t for the Manasvir Empire’s lack of magical materials, she would have made it herself. Why would she sell it to the Nation of Arcana!

When they arrived at Dolan City, they noticed that the atmosphere surrounding it was a little off. There were many people in the city, but strangely enough, all the stores near the magic train station were closed. Even pedestrians were sparse. It was as if the city’s residents were deliberately avoiding the magic train station. It was daytime, so all the more odd for the magic train station to be so quiet. This city was famous for the magic train station, so something must be wrong for it to be this silent.

“Bella, I think I smell a curse. It’s right there at the station. I sense a lot of resentment!”

“You felt it too, Elaine? Why don’t we have your Big Sister Isaman and the Radiant Church’s students do a purification ceremony?”

“No need, Bella. The source of the curse isn’t here. We might end up alerting someone if they cleanse it.”

At the entrance of the magic train station, Bella stopped in her tracks. She asked the girls to stay put, as well. This time, out of her suggestion, the Olsylvia Academy’s students were divided into two groups of boys and girls. The boys were led by Dragon Knight Sean and Dragon Knight Copperfield, with the other male Saviors as their deputies. The girls were led by Chief President Angelia and President Isaman. However, it was actually Bella who was in charge.

Based on the “ladies first” agreement, the girls set off first. The boys would wait until the girls were done before hitting the road. When Bella arrived at the station, she only brought her little sister Lisha, Princess Kriss, and Marionette Master Elaine to explore the area first. She felt that something was seriously wrong with this magic train station, so it was better for her to go survey the place herself.

Some of the city’s residents threw sympathetic looks at the girls, as if they were seeing off the deceased. Bella felt uncomfortable, and when she tried to ask, the onlookers quickly hid away and disappeared. Seriously, if you didn’t want to talk about it, then avoid piquing someone’s curiosity.

When they entered the empty station, Bella and the others were a bit confused. The station was dusty and looked as if it had been abandoned for a long time. Many of the cargo-transporting magic trains were just left in their original places, not moving at all. A depressing atmosphere pressed down on them in the station, and even Bella, who was not good at magic, could sense the presence of a curse.

Not a single worker of the magic train station could be seen. This manager was seriously something else, turning an Other world magic train station into an abandoned station after a zombie attack in an apocalyptic blockbuster—what a talent. Many of the magical trains on the tracks had sharp bloody handprints on the windows. It looked like something had been clawing at them.

“Little Sister Lisha, don’t these handprints look like they came right out of a movie? I didn’t think…”

“Wait, Bella. Don’t touch that train. Those… Those are real.”

“Uh, what are you saying, Elaine? Seriously, can this train be…”

Bella was just about to touch the coach, but she didn’t expect Marionette Master Elaine to find a problem with it and come to stop her. Faced with Bella’s puzzled look, Elaine didn’t explain too much. She just took out a bottle of spirit dust, sprinkling it onto the window. In that instant, Bella saw a bunch of distorted faces materializing on the window.

“This train has been attacked by malicious spirits. Look at the sign there. This first train isn’t for us; it’s for the Antoinette Academy.”

“Aren’t they hurting people here? What’s the Aldridge Empire doing, shutting off magical teleportation arrays and arranging such problematic trains?”
