Chapter 367 - 17: Christina
The Dragon Clan is divided into the Golden Dragon Clan and the Black Dragon Clan, which are just the major categories. Strictly speaking, dragons aren’t limited to just Golden Dragons and Black Dragons. Beyond these two are the Oceanic Dragon Clan. However, the Oceanic Dragon Clan lives deep in the depths of the ocean, and has very few opportunities to appear, so much so that they are barely mentioned even in human novels.
Within the Golden Dragons, aside from the most iconic and powerful Gold Dragons, there are also Silver Dragons and Green Dragons.
Within the Black Dragons, aside from Black Dragons, there are also Red Dragons, Azure Dragons, and Poison Dragons.
Even in the Oceanic Dragon Clan, there are divisions such as Pale Dragons, Blue Dragons, and Purple Dragons...
Very few people have actually seen all the varieties of dragons, and this applies even to the Dragon Clan itself. After all, dragons are not fond of living with other races, and the various clans are isolated with almost no interaction. Most who claim to understand dragons are merely repeating hearsay. Some have only flipped through relevant texts.
Andrew was obviously one of these people. He had read about dragons in ancient elven texts and knew of Green Dragons belonging to the Golden Dragon Clan and Azure Dragons belonging to the Black Dragon Clan. However, Andrew did not know that the so-called Green Dragons of the Golden Dragon Clan actually had a golden hue mixed with green light, and were fundamentally still golden. Meanwhile, the so-called Azure Dragons of the Black Dragon Clan were actually dark azure in color. Christina, in fact, was neither of these.

"Haunted? Are you saying there are undead? The task we received mentioned undead."
"Uh... You could say so. Anyway, once night falls, eerie sounds start coming from this place. People claim to have seen ghosts here. The worst part is, this used to be a graveyard. So now everyone says the place is haunted. It’s officially ranked as the top haunted house in Linlopes."
Andrew glanced at the mansion in the distance.
The main building was three stories tall, with two two-story wings. It looked like it had at least a hundred or two hundred rooms. In terms of architectural scale, it was even larger than a typical castle. Surrounding the property was its expansive garden, filled with a variety of landscaped plants.
A mansion like this was rare in Linlopes. In fact, it wasn’t common in the entire North. It’s not because the house itself was particularly problematic. The key issue was the plants. Maintaining so many garden plants in the cold northern climate required considerable manpower and effort.
Andrew turned back to look at the white-haired old man standing before him.
