"Are you planning to make renovations, sir?" Osman asked from the side.

"Yes."

Su Mo nodded without hesitation, "Are there any architects or similar figures among the teachers and students, or at least those who are proficient in various designs?"

“I will help you with that,” Osman said, bowing his head.

“Then do a good job.” Su Mo glanced at Osman and suddenly said, “Don’t be nervous. I’ve already said that I am a four-fold demonic dragon. Like ordinary dragons, I’m long past the age of killing to establish my authority when I have nothing to do.”

"Therefore, I will only act according to my mood, and even if you do not do well, I may not take action."

"Isn't that even scarier?"

Only then did the people at his feet understand what true despair was.

Being kidnapped by a powerful being who is powerless to resist is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that the person is not human at all, but a dragon, and a crazed demonic dragon at that.

It's impossible to understand it using normal thinking, and that's what makes it so despairing.

Of course, even in despair, no one wanted to die, so everyone started to take action.

The normally strictly hierarchical nobles and commoners put aside their prejudices and began to focus wholeheartedly on construction, unintentionally achieving true equality.

No matter who it is, they are nothing more than a dish in front of the Demon Dragon Su Mo, and no one will suffer any discrimination.

Even Osman, who had surrendered, wanted to work together with everyone to carry out construction.

If this is not unequal, then there is truly no equality.

Although some people do not want this kind of "equality", under Su Mo's powerful strength, any reactionary forces are just paper tigers.

"No one can stop the wheels of historical progress. Anyone who dares to turn back will be destroyed by the torrent of history. Look, now everyone in the college is equal, everyone works, and everyone is enthusiastically engaged in construction. Isn't this the wonderful society that many people yearn for? No oppression, no discrimination, no class..." Su Mo sat in his seat and spoke eloquently to Louise.

Louise, standing before him, was dumbfounded. The dragon familiar she had summoned was really not normal, spouting nonsensical nonsense.

But why does this theory sound so reasonable and irrefutable?

"You're wrong to do that." After a long while, Louise finally managed to utter a weak rebuttal. She wanted to be as arrogant as before, but it was clear that Su Mo wasn't a true familiar who would indulge her.

In fact, Louise felt more like Su Mo's familiar. In less than half a day, under Su Mo's tutelage, she learned to control her emotions and suppress her temper.

Although that little temper isn't a big problem, it actually adds a kind of "tsundere" attribute. Blushing and saying things you don't mean can be attractive in a way—provided you're good-looking.

However, Su Mo doesn't need Louise's attributes to add any fun to his life right now, so Louise can only obediently play the role of a familiar and do her best for her master.

"Don't worry about the details. I'm just practicing my verbal skills. You keep drawing your map," Su Mo waved his hand dismissively.

Louise in front of him was diligently drawing a map. After all, she was a noblewoman and had received a relatively complete education since childhood, so she could barely draw a map of the small country of Tristine.

The most important of these is, of course, the location of the royal city and palace.

Louise finally finished drawing the map, and Su Mo picked it up, glanced at it casually, and tossed it aside.

"Alright, get back to work." Su Mo patted Louise's head with satisfaction.

"..."

Besides the map that Su Mo had asked her to draw on a whim, Louise's job was to transform the place Su Mo had chosen into an extremely luxurious living room filled with the air of a nouveau riche.

To the duke's daughter, this behavior of piling up all sorts of valuable things was no different from that of a greedy dragon that loved sparkly things and collecting precious items.

This discovery also confirms that Louise did indeed summon a remarkable dragon as her familiar—unfortunately, the dragon was so powerful that Louise was completely unable to control it.

Louise did indeed very successfully slap the faces of the other students who mocked her, but the final result left her with no reason to laugh.

"Don't make that face. Actually, what I do is pretty much the same as what you nobles do, except I'm a little more blatant," Su Mo said to Louise.

“I just think your taste is absolutely terrible,” Louise said.

"You learned this from your nobles, didn't you?" Su Mo grinned maliciously. "Collecting all the good things you see is a characteristic of your nobles."

“Not all nobles are like that…” Louise retorted weakly.

"No, no, I'm not saying this in relation to any particular nobles. What I mean is that all nobles are trash," Su Mo said. "I've already said that I am a dragon with all four virtues. As my enemies, nobles are naturally despised by me on all levels, including strategy and tactics, to boost my morale before the battle."

"The nobles are your enemies? Want war?"

Louise keenly caught the important information in Su Mo's words and was immediately somewhat alarmed. "What are you planning to do?"

A demonic dragon hijacked the entire Tristine Magic Academy to carry out some kind of major transformation, making everyone put aside their class and social status to focus on construction. This was already shocking enough.

But judging from Su Mo's words, this is only the beginning.

“My dear Louise, do you know anything about dragons? Do you know what we’re really going to do?” Su Mo asked with a smile.

Louise shook her head.

Dragons? She really didn't know much about them. This world wasn't a place where dragons flew everywhere and ended up worse than dogs.

Despite having some "dragon units," they are all sub-dragons, possessing only a trace of dragon blood, and are not as powerful as the dragon summoned by Tabatha in the academy.

Louise truly didn't know what a truly powerful dragon looked like.

“A real dragon, of course, would capture the princess, throw her into a castle, and lock her up,” Su Mo said with a serious expression.

"...Isn't this just a legend?" Louise asked with some difficulty, not because she was shocked by what Su Mo said—although capturing the princess and taking her away was indeed a shocking thing in many ways.

Rather, isn't this just a love story that circulates only among noble and even commoner girls, full of girlish romanticism and completely unrealistic? To call such a story a legend, or even to praise it.

"The reason why legends can be passed down is, of course, because they have a basic prototype..."

Su Mo sat on the newly crafted black and gold throne, one hand supporting his face, looking languid, but golden flames burned in his eyes, and black aura swirled around him, vaguely forming the shape of a black dragon, which was breathtaking.

"However, in the stories you know, the final ending is that the knight defeated the dragon, took the princess away, and lived happily ever after."

"But the reality is... whether they are knights or princesses, they can only remain in the castle forever, either submitting to the claws of the dragon or becoming withered bones."

Looking at that seemingly lazy figure, Louise felt as if she were standing not on solid ground, but in the other person's palm.

Chapter 562 Hope for Leaving?

As a dragon with four virtues, one cannot just talk the talk. When you're out in the game, the most important thing is to keep your word. If you say you'll bring the princess back to the castle, then you must bring her back.

After explaining his grand ideals to Louise, Su Mo left the former Tristine Magic Academy, now the City of Dragons.

Louise was dumbfounded. This guy had asked her to draw the map of Tristine for this purpose?

Then, Louise thought that since Su Mo had already left, did they have a chance to escape?

At the very least, the message must be relayed to other places.

Communication in this world isn't very advanced, and Louise wasn't sure if what happened at the Tristine Magic Academy was already known to the outside world.

However, it is certain that the outside world heard that terrifying dragon roar, but it is unknown whether they will know that the dragon roar came from the Tristine Magic Academy.

Regardless, Louise was determined to give it a try.

She only spent a short time with Su Mo, and since Su Mo didn't deliberately manipulate or train her, it was impossible for her to develop Stockholm Syndrome. After Su Mo left, she even did her best to help him with his affairs.

Reaching the window, Louise watched as Su Mo's figure gradually disappeared into the distant horizon, and immediately rushed out of the room.

After a while, a group of people gathered in the square again. Not long ago, they had felt Su Mo's terrifying power, which was so strong that it was suffocating and despairing.

After that, he embarked on the path of working hard to build a harmonious dragon city. The changes in his life were astonishing, making people sigh at the impermanence of life.

"He's gone, and now we have a chance to leave!"

Louise shouted loudly at the crowd.

"what?"

"gone?"

"They're not coming back?"

"real or fake?"

A group of people were discussing among themselves. Although they had been gathered here, they did not know what had happened. Only the few people that Louise had notified to inform others knew that Su Mo had now left the magic academy.

As for what she went to do, Louise didn't say much, because she thought it was just too crazy.

"Explain yourself, did that dragon really leave?"

Someone spoke up, their tone extremely unfriendly. Keep in mind, this dragon was summoned by Louise.

In a sense, Louise is the one who is responsible for the current situation.

You're saying that if you don't summon your familiar, nothing will happen?

At this point, they forgot their initial "anticipation" for Louise's summoning of a familiar and instead mocked her. Summoning a familiar was a required course at the magic academy, and everyone had to go through it at least once.

“Of course, we should leave now; there might still be a chance,” Louise said.

“Yes, they escaped from the familiars you summoned.” Someone said sarcastically, clearly expressing their resentment towards Louise.

"Hey, what do you mean by that? It's not Louise's fault!" someone shouted, sounding quite displeased.

Louise was somewhat surprised. The person who spoke was actually the red-haired Chruk, the one with the red hair and a large bust.

Chuluk Augustus Frederica von Anhalt Zerupst is Louise's classmate, but they have a very bad relationship.

The Zelopster family, to which she belonged, and the Valier family were sworn enemies, not only because the Zelopster family had taken away the lovers of the Valier family members for generations, but also because the Zelopster and Valier families belonged to two different countries with closely adjacent territories.

Whenever war breaks out between the two countries, the Zerupst family will inevitably face off against the Valier family.

The two were also "enemies" at school, often mocking each other. Of course, given Louise's astonishing "talent" in magic, it was mostly Chuluk who was teasing Louise.

For example, in this familiar incident, Chuluk was the main force behind mocking Louise, and also the one who made Louise boast that she would summon a familiar that would leave everyone speechless.

And Louise did indeed do that, but no one would get any sense of it.

Is Chuluk's voice source Louise?

Not to mention anyone else, even Louise didn't expect that Chuluk would speak up for her at such a time.

"Don't misunderstand." Facing Louise's surprised gaze, Chuluk turned and said, "I'm not trying to help you, I just can't stand a bunch of useless people venting their anger on others. Everyone's already like this..."

Perhaps because of his striking features, Su Mo couldn't help but glance at Qiu Luke a few more times while "intimidating" the entire audience. Even if he wasn't truly concerned, that casual look still instilled in Qiu Luke a fear he had never felt before.

Therefore, Qiu Luke understood Su Mo's strength even more.

She also knew very well that this matter was really not Louise's fault. She was thinking, how could such a being become Louise's familiar?

Louise was simply there by chance.

Faced with such a powerful enemy, everyone is so weak. Even at this point, how could anyone still think of yelling at their comrades to vent their anger?
