Dungeon King: A Lady Knight Offered by My Goblins

Ethan curiously took the White Phoenix egg out of his backpack.

The white eggshell was engraved with some patterns.

If you listen carefully, you can hear the heartbeat of the creature inside the egg.

Although it was faint, it was very steady.

Although he didn't know how powerful this White Phoenix was, it was awarded as a prize on its own, so its strength should be at least D-grade.

It was fully capable of guarding a level of the dungeon.

Ethan then asked, "What level can a fully-grown White Phoenix reach?"

[A mature White Phoenix possesses a B+ strength level.]

Upon hearing this, Ethan immediately put the White Phoenix egg back into his backpack.

Such an important item mustn't be damaged.

If a mature White Phoenix could reach B+ strength level, it would be a great aid to Ethan in the future.

But now the question was, the White Phoenix was still in the egg, how to hatch it?

"System, how do I hatch the White Phoenix egg?" Ethan still kept the good habit of asking the system when he had questions.

[The White Phoenix egg can be hatched in the following ways.]

[1: Artificial incubation, which takes 10 days.]

[2: Forced incubation through sunlight and warming and humidifying, which hatches the White Phoenix in advance and takes 5 days.]

[3: Hatch through the call of the same species of White Phoenix, which takes 5 minutes.]

[4: Hatch through Essence Blood, with a chance to hatch into an Evil White Phoenix. It requires 100 drops of Essence Blood and takes 1 minute.]

"Evil White Phoenix?"

[The White Phoenix species naturally love peace. However, there are exceptions that commit all sorts of atrocities. These are known as Evil White Phoenixes.]

Ethan frowned, hatching with Essence Blood?

And 100 drops?

Although the Dungeon currently lacked guardians, if an Evil White Phoenix filled the void, then with the power of the Evil White Phoenix, Ethan wouldn't have to worry about security for a long time.

However, Essence Blood was also crucial!

Ethan had recognized the importance of Essence Blood when he used it to strengthen the goblins.

100 drops was a huge amount, he couldn't produce that much in one day.

At most, he could only force out about 50 drops of Essence Blood from his body now.

But now the protection period had disappeared, and battle might arrive tomorrow.

If he chose to hatch the egg, Ethan would be in a weakened state for at least two days, unable to fight.

If someone invaded, relying on Divine Dragon Warrior would be inadequate.

Whether the invader was a Dark Lord or a Hero, Ethan would face destruction!

Thinking about this, Ethan gave up the idea of hatching an Evil White Phoenix.

Right now, developing his own abilities became the most urgent task.

Only when he was strong could he have the real say!

Although he had chosen the Divine Dragon Bloodline, he had so far only utilized one-tenth of the powerful abilities of the Divine Dragon Bloodline.

Most of the time, he simply overwhelmed opponents with physical attacks or even the strength of his physical body.

In ancient times, the most representative attribute of the Divine Dragon was its ability to resist most types of magic and its own skill attacks.

But Ethan is far from this level and still needs further development.

Then, he sent the Holy Light Goblin to the Horizon Mountains to expedite the exploration process.

Three iron mines have been discovered in the Horizon Mountains, one of which has an iron content of 500.

These 500 iron resources are enough to meet Ethan's early demand for iron.

Now, a day and a half had passed since the time-limited task of exploring the Horizon Mountains, with half of the time remaining.

He checked the progress bar.

The progress was already at 70%, and they were just 10% away from not having to transport resources back and forth.

This would again increase the speed, and they could definitely complete the task within the remaining time.

At that point, they would be able to receive another treasure chest.

He wondered what this chest might contain.

Just as Ethan was contemplating this, the system announcement suddenly rang out.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for discovering a gold mine in the Horizon Mountains! Condition met, unlocking the Dragon Talent, the treasure of the Golden Divine Dragon!]

[Treasure of the Golden Divine Dragon: The more treasures and Gold Coins stored in the Dungeon, the greater the enhancement to the host's strength!]

Upon hearing this, Ethan was thrilled.

Didn't that mean his previous looting was useful?

He checked his backpack.

He currently had 1452 Gold Coins.

As for the gold mine, each Earth Dragon laborer could transport 4 gold per trip.

However, these gold resources still needed to be converted into Gold Coins.

According to the exchange rate on the trading market, one gold resource could be exchanged for 10 Gold Coins.

However, each exchange required a 10% service charge.

If he could directly produce Gold Coins, wouldn't that be more cost-effective?

Ethan immediately checked the blacksmith shop and indeed found a project called metal smelting.

Gold ore could be smelted into molten gold, which could then be cast into Gold Coins using a Gold Coin mold!

Now, there was only one problem...

Where could he find a Gold Coins mold?

When Ethan looked for a mold on the trading market, he found out that a Gold Coins mold cost a whopping 500 Gold Coins!

Furthermore, he needed to pay a service fee to the trading market every month for each mold. This frustrated Ethan.

He had already bought it, why did he still need to pay a service fee?

As expected of the trading market, they really knew how to make money!

Undeterred, Ethan continued scrolling down.

All the mold sellers were from the trading market.

There were no individual sellers.

For Dark Lords, Gold Coins are the initial circulating currency.

They only lack Gold Coins, and which Dark Lord would mint Gold Coins just for storage?

Even if other Dark Lords had discovered gold mines, most of them would directly trade with the trading market.

The money spent on molds would be enough to pay countless service fees.

Ethan had no choice but to store the gold resources in the Dungeon and plan for later.

Next, he called over an Earth Dragon laborer and, according to Ethan's idea, built a small wooden hut with a glass roof and placed the White Phoenix egg inside to incubate.

Under the floor was a hollow space where he heated stones, similar to sauna stones in a steam room.

Even though they didn't retain as much heat as sauna stones, they were still effective.

When water was poured on the stones, they released heat.

The temperature inside the wooden hut instantly rose a few degrees, along with steam, meeting the incubation conditions required by the White Phoenix.

By the time all these tasks were completed, it was late at night.

Ethan returned to the hut and carefully crawled into the bed.

Mia had already fallen asleep.

She had originally undressed and was waiting for him, but fell asleep unknowingly.

Ethan lifted the blanket made of coarse hemp fiber, and his gaze was drawn to her ample bosom.

Her skin was white and flawless, without a wrinkle to be seen.

He reached out and gently touched her, finding the sensation addictive.

Mia, somewhat dazed, woke up.

"Hey, stop playing around, it's time to sleep."

She pulled Ethan into her arms and caressed his cheek with one hand.

"Be good, it's time to sleep, otherwise you'll be too tired."

After such an exchange, Ethan felt drowsy.

His tense nerves relaxed, and he fell asleep shortly after closing his eyes.

Ethan had a very comfortable sleep.

Mia was not too thin or too plump, making her the perfect size to hold.

Not until noon the next day did Ethan wake up.

Mia had already awakened, but seeing Ethan sleeping so soundly, she didn't have the heart to disturb him.

"Awake?" Mia asked, sounding slightly surprised.

Ethan nodded.

Only then did Mia, with a shy expression, place her hand on Ethan's firmness.

"So energetic right after waking up."

Ethan stretched and said, "Can't help it, when it comes to the person I like."

"Then shall I help you?"

Before Ethan could respond, Mia lowered her head and got to work.

Ethan instantly felt Mia's tongue twining around him.

Her tongue tip was firm yet agile, constantly exploring new areas to stimulate Ethan, while her hand never stopped, letting him experience what it felt like to be pleasured in two ways at once.

After a while, Ethan couldn't hold back any longer.

This feeling was too intense.

He lifted the blanket, flipped Mia over, spread her thighs, and aimed his hardness at her already wet entrance before pushing in.

Sounds of love filled the wooden hut.

Time went by, one minute at a time.

After an unknown period, Mia lay next to Ethan, looking at him seductively.

Ethan pinched Mia's cheek.

"Such a little tease, you want more?"

Mia shook her head and pouted, "What, I can't even look at you?"

Ethan laughed and said, "I'll have someone bring your meal in a while, I have to get back to work."

"Okay, go ahead."

As soon as Ethan walked out of the hut, NPCs immediately surrounded him.

"Boss, you need to come and see, there's been a mutation in the plants in the plantation!"
