Chapter 350: Chapter 345: Journey of Ten Thousand Miles Chapter 350: Chapter 345: Journey of Ten Thousand Miles Muria, now in possession of the Book of Mourning, was completely at ease. Thanks to this cursed book, he could continuously monitor the whereabouts of the banished giant dragons.

This cursed book, intended for slaughter, was now being used by Muria as a tool to oversee the movements and well-being of the five colored dragons. This had put the spirit of the Book of Mourning in a bad mood.

However, without Muria’s commands, it dared not cast curses indiscriminately. These were all Muria’s subordinates. Who knows what Muria would do to it if it touched them?

The correct use of the Book of Mourning was to brutally kill its owner through the medium of body tissue.

The ability to observe the medium’s owner through the medium was merely a derivative ability. Neither the legendary mage who made the cursed book nor the spirit valued this ability, considering it as insignificant as a chicken rib.

Muria naturally ignored the spirit’s gloom. As he could monitor the safety of the five colored dragons at any time in his own way, he was completely unrestrained. Just as Bronia had suggested, he began to explore the Osroni Subcontinent.

He spent more time walking on the land than flying in the sky. For instance, he developed a habit of entering every city he came across, hoping to encounter a planar merchant like Stalon again.

Unfortunately, he didn’t encounter another planar merchant in the two years that followed. But Muria didn’t feel depressed. These were secondary matters. His main purpose now was to wander around the continent, taking in the local customs and various monsters of this vast subcontinent.

In the Osroni Subcontinent, the power of humans was not strong, and could even be said to just be scraping by. The majority of the inhabitants here were various types of monsters, who were the real dominators of this place.

During his wanderings, Muria encountered several instances where powerful monsters drove beast tides to attack human cities. Every time this happened, he would suppress the entire situation with his own strength, halt the battle between both sides, and then ask the monster side why they attacked human cities, proceeding to judge them based on their answers.

Some monsters, like the Wind Phoenix Descendants couple, had attacked human cities because their offspring had been stolen. Others had been harmed by humans in the past, so they harbored enmity towards humans.

This was what truly caused headaches for Muria. Because these monsters had indeed developed grievances against humans, Muria had no reason to stop them from seeking revenge. He could only try to mediate.

For monsters whose offspring had been stolen, Muria would help find the thieves and hand them over to the monsters for handling.

For those monsters who had been harmed by humans when they were weak, and now sought revenge after growing up, Muria would try to find the human who had harmed them.

Muria protected only those humans who were innocently involved. He didn’t interfere with anything else. Grudges were to be complained about, and scores were to be settled. Muria never tried to stop that.

The easiest cases to deal with were those monsters who had no grudges against humans and just thought of them as weak. Out of boredom, they planned to level a human city for fun, taking pleasure in slaughtering humans.

For such murderous monsters, there was nothing to discuss. Muria unconditionally sided with the humans, cut down such monsters, and deterred others with punishment.

Due to Muria’s repeated interventions to suppress and judge both monsters and humans under the identity of the Golden Dragon Clan, minstrels voluntarily used his deeds as material for their songs, spreading them far and wide.

This was the treatment Muria enjoyed amongst the humans. He was seen as a hero of fairness. His stories began to circulate in this subcontinent. More and more intelligent creatures came to know of his existence.

Of course, this also had to do with Muria’s own behavior. Every now and again, he stirred up trouble. Almost every place he had been to knew he had been there.

Whether it was due to the influence of his past life or his current Golden Dragon lineage, Muria loved meddling in other people’s business, to an even greater extent than in his previous life. After all, he now had combat power towering over the vast majority of creatures.

He now feared no beings below the legendary level. Even against legends like that one from the Kingdom of Aub on the Ionian Subcontinent, whose name he had already forgotten, who had ascended to legends through drug use, Muria now was bold enough to confront them head-on.

So, wherever he went, Muria would intervene in anything he didn’t like, trying to rectify it according to his own moral standards.

Of course, Muria acted most frequently within human territories. He was reluctant to meddle with the monster side. After all, the appearances of most monsters didn’t meet his sense of beauty, so he seldom mingled with them.

In the human world, Muria interfered mostly because of their ruling class. The human nobles, a group that controlled the vast majority of the human race’s resources, enjoyed benefits as entities at the top of the pyramid.

Under such circumstances, any noble enjoying such vast resources, as long as they were not brain-dead and had a bit of ambition, could definitely achieve something. Hence, the human nobility could be said to be bursting with elites.

However, in the noble class born with the golden key, there were also many scoundrels. Once these nobles took up positions like lord, governor, or city master, they began to trample on ordinary humans under their rule.

During his travels, Muria had encountered numerous such unscrupulous rulers.

For instance, lords who implemented the right of first night. Upon meeting such lords, Muria didn’t hesitate. He led a group of evil dragons straight into their manors or castles, giving them a memorable lesson in physics.

Indeed, these lords weren’t just one or two, but a whole bunch. Muria frequently encountered unscrupulous nobles who implemented the right of first night within their own territories.

However, after passing through Muria, those lords could only abolish the right of first night while crying and calling for their parents. They swore an oath to Muria that they and their descendants would never implement the right of first night in their territory, completely abolishing this law.

What made Muria feel frustrated about this were not the nobles, but the human commoners. The nobles’ implementation of the despicable law of the right of first night was accepted as a matter of course by the commoners, even seen as something to be proud of.

After Muria, through physical education, forced the nobles to abolish the right of first night, all he received were incomprehension and even complaints from the human commoners. Fortunately, Muria didn’t care about the views of the ignorant populace, as long as he himself was in a good mood.

The event of coercing nobles to abolish the right of first night was a trivial matter in the minstrels’ songs about Muria’s numerous deeds. Indeed, compared to the famous battles whereby Muria made a name for himself on the Osroni Subcontinent, this was practically nothing.
