Of course, this is probably also the reason why Liam Bennett became great through tragedy. All truly powerful Sealers have many strong followers—for example, the King of Sealers of the Light Empire has angels as his followers.

Gavin Clark's daily work was to help Master Logan Bennett with cleaning, tidying up, and occasionally lending a hand. The master was very protective of his knowledge, and the library was strictly off-limits, but Gavin Clark was an exception, because the master thought Gavin Clark was illiterate.

Unfortunately, Gavin Clark could read. By rights, he shouldn’t have been able to, but somehow, during a cleaning session, he accidentally glanced at a book and found he could understand it. Thus, in the midst of his boring work, Gavin Clark developed the habit of reading.

Over the past month, the master had been very tense and busy. More and more warriors and mages were coming and going in the castle, along with many nobles. This kept Gavin Clark extremely busy, and it was clear that something big was about to happen.

A month later, the army of the Principality of Kalilio was almost fully mobilized. The master’s old face looked unusually excited, and before leaving, he blessed Gavin Clark to take good care of the house. And so, the days passed one by one.

On the thirteenth night after the master left, Gavin Clark was reading when he suddenly heard hurried, panicked footsteps—the master had returned. Seeing Gavin Clark holding a book in his library, the master did not get angry; instead, his expression was filled with tension and excitement.

“Gavin Clark, close all the secret doors, activate the mechanisms, and come help me!”

“Yes, Master!” Gavin Clark quickly put the book away, secretly relieved—if it had been before, he would surely have been punished.

Once everything was ready, Owen Clark carefully entered Master Logan Bennett’s laboratory. This was one of the most mysterious places in Kalilio City, and Gavin Clark had only been inside twice before.

From the secret chamber came the master’s exaggerated laughter. “Haha, Gavin Clark, come here! You’re in luck—you’re about to witness a groundbreaking event in human history. Look, what is this!”

Even Gavin Clark, who had faced countless life-and-death situations, was startled. Before him stood a beautiful girl—he had never seen such a soul-stirring girl before, her delicate features radiating nobility. But what shocked him most were the tender, emerald-green dragon horns atop her head... a dragon girl???

“Haha, stunned, aren’t you? That’s right, this is a high-level dragon! I, Logan Bennett, will become the first Sealer in human history to seal a dragon, the greatest Sealer, surpassing even the King of Sealers! Haha! Those bastards at the Sealer’s Guild always underestimate me, pushing me out to this backwater—they will pay for it!”

Usually composed, Logan Bennett was now wild with excitement. Such was fate. Because he was unable to advance past his fifties, he became seen as someone with no potential. In the Water Empire, where Sealers were numerous, people like him were stuck in mediocrity. With the profession crowded and new recruits constantly appearing, Logan Bennett was forced to come to Kalilio, but he was far from resigned.

But now, he was about to become an equal to the King of Sealers. By sealing this dragon, he would gain dragon-level power!

Some time ago, the Adventurer’s Guild of Kalilio discovered a dragon in the Mississippi Mountains within their territory. Dragons rarely appeared on the continent; these powerful and intelligent beings were feared by both humans and other races. But fear could not stop humanity’s pursuit of power—especially Sealers. Ever since the profession’s inception, sealing a dragon had been the ultimate goal. Yet, after hundreds of years, it remained just a goal—even the King of Sealers had not achieved it, though the monsters he sealed were no less powerful than dragons.

When he heard the news, Kalilio was immediately tempted—he couldn’t resist. Strangely, the dragon did not leave right away, but was instead attracted by the intoxicating poppy fields of Mississippi. For Logan Bennett, who had few opportunities left, this was a dream come true. In his youth, he had accidentally obtained an ancient sealing book. He hadn’t paid much attention to the dragon-sealing method inside, but the unaligned purple diamond sealing card tucked within convinced him, for it was the only card capable of sealing ultimate power, and the method described even broke the Sealer’s level restrictions—though, unfortunately, it only worked on dragons.

Over the course of a month, Logan Bennett persuaded the king and obtained dragon-drunken grass. As long as the dragon stayed in the intoxicating poppy fields for more than ten days, their chance would come. With the dragon-drunken grass and a regiment of ten thousand knights, their chances of success were quite high!

It must be said, fate truly smiled on them. The dragon clearly loved the flower fields, staying for a full half month. Then, the capture plan began. After a brutal battle, Logan Bennett finally trapped the dragon with the sealing array described in the book. To his delight, not only was it a giant dragon, but it was also a high-level dragon with a human form.

Although no one knew the specifics of the dragon race, such high-level dragons were surely extremely rare. Logan Bennett seemed to see a limitless, brilliant future ahead.

The dragon girl was unconscious—beautiful, and perhaps even more so, pitiful. For some reason, Gavin Clark actually felt a desire to save her, though it was only a fleeting thought.

The dragon girl was placed on the sealing altar. For such a top-tier being, the sealing process was extremely complex, and the preparations were equally elaborate.
