The road to the Dragon Valley was smooth, and no trouble appeared on the road, such as bandits or adventurers who were not afraid of death.
Sybille stayed close to Arthur, Wisa, and Jane all the time, afraid that she would be taken away again. Arthur would not let that happen, even if he had to die to prevent it.
"Is this place really full of dragons? That's awesome," Sybille said as she looked at a majestic mountain in the distance.
Arthur laughed and said, "Of course. We have a cozy cabin down in the valley. You'll love it."
The three walked toward Dragon Mountain, and sure enough, a dragon appeared to see who was approaching.
"L-Lord Placidusax! You have returned!" The dragon said, surprised and happy at the same time to see his superior return.
And at that moment, a celebration broke out on the mountain. Not only the dragons but also the dwarves who already lived there joined the party, drinking mugs of beer and shouting, telling their miraculous story in the mines.
"Once the exit closed behind me. I thought I was lost inside, but a beautiful woman came and saved me. Then we went back to my place and hehe."
"And I guarantee that this woman was taller than you, Sigurd."
All the dwarves around burst out laughing, and even Arthur, who was passing by, couldn't resist.
"These guys are hilarious," he thought.
A gentle hand grabbed Arthur's right arm. It was Sybille who looked at him innocently and said, "I'm a little tired, but I understand you should join this party for a while. Can I come to our cottage with Wisa and Jane?"
"Of course," Arthur said, and gave her a warm kiss.
Jane and Wisa took care of Sybille and led her to the log cabin near the waterfall in the valley.
To be honest, Arthur wanted to get out of this crowded place as well, since parties weren't really his thing, but he was the leader of everyone present and he was supposed to stay at the party until the end, or at least a big part of it.
It was a total bore, but Arthur used the party to talk to the dragons and explain everything that had happened.
"Selen. I believe you will be the leader again," Arthur said, looking at a beautiful silver-haired woman.
"Do you really have to go?"
Selen was the best candidate, since she had been the leader of the dragons before Arthur arrived. She had just returned from her journey, which had been a partial success.
The task was to find the lost books of the dragons. Selen found some.
"Yes, and I am counting on you to keep everything in order. Here, take it."
Arthur held out his hand and gave Selen the authority to command Harker and all other included in the Blood Pact.
This way, even when Arthur is gone, Selen will control them.
"Thank you," Selen said.
"It was nothing. If you'll excuse me, I'll go back to my hut here in the valley."
"Of course."
With hurried steps, Arthur passed dragons and dwarves and entered the beautiful valley where he had once lived.
There, in a log cabin, three perfect women were waiting for him. Well, Sybille was already asleep when Arthur arrived, snoring like a baby.
It was strange to see her sleeping through the night. Sybille was a vampire, after all.
"She must be so tired that she doesn't care about anything," Arthur thought, stroking Sybille's pink hair.
Wisa and Jane were still awake, but in meditation. They didn't want to be left behind now that Arthur had reached rank five.
"Well, I think I'll take a nap."
Arthur had taken some beer from the party. He left his hut, sat at the top of the waterfall, and drank heavily that night.
Various thoughts about what the future would bring, and of course, immense worry about the forces that were looking for him.
"I hope everything turns out well..."
After drinking all he could, Arthur returned to his cabin and slept beside Sybille.

The next morning would be the new start of a training season, more focused on Sybille, who wished to reach the level of everyone else.
When Arthur woke up in the morning, no one was inside the cabin anymore. He gazed through the window and saw his three wives training near the waterfall.
"Hello beautiful ladies," Arthur said.
"Husband! You were sleeping like a rock. Nothing ever changes," Sybille said, chuckling.
Arthur rolled his eyes at that and gave each one of them a warm kiss to start the morning. Then, he said, "I will make breakfast."
The valley they were in had many plants, fruits, vegetables, and, of course, animals. Arthur did not find it difficult to put his hands on some ingredients for a breakfast, the only exception being Sybille, who could eat normal food too, but it must had a flask of blood together with it, or else she would not get satiated.
Arthur could find no one to get the blood from. It would be strange for him to show up and ask for the blood of a dwarf, so he gathered various types of blood from animals and tasted them to see which one was better.
After that, Arthur prepared the vegetables, cleaning and cutting them, and cooked the meat. For him, someone who could use many magic, it was easy to complete the task.
A minor fire spell would cook the beef flawlessly, and there was plenty of water from that waterfall for him to used to clean the vegetables, or better, he could cast his own water too!
"This training is harsh," Sybille said after they stopped for a break.
"We know, but this is the only way for you to get more powerful quickly. Also, your talent is even better than ours, so you will be okay," Wisa said.
They all left the waterfall and went to a table that was set just outside their cabin. There, above the table, lied many types of foods, bringing joy to the face of everyone present.
Wisa, Jane, and Sybille ate as if they did not have food for days — which was the truth.
Arthur just watched everything from the side, getting a bite or two, but not eating that much, as that was not something he needed.
"This is delicious!"
Sybille also drank the flask of blood Arthur got for her, and she liked it! Well, Arthur was almost sure she would, as he had tasted the blood himself — he was a part vampire.
When the eating and drinking were over, they all returned to their cabin for some rest before heading back to training. Arthur found it was the best opportunity for them to train even more in other ways, like having sex.
"I miss this," Sybille said.
Arthur hugged her, giving her a kiss while he slapped her ass. Wisa smiled at that, and said, "girls, come on, let's undress our husband."
The three girls undressed Arthur, tying him up on the bed. Sybille was the first to go down, rubbing the cock with her hands, preparing to suck it.
