Chapter 381: Ghosts
José's leak soon fell into the hands of Bran, but the messenger took him by surprise. Maya had the courage to reach the edge of Northland.
Bran didn't want to pay attention to the stupid dragon, but the giant falcon led by Flying Feather and the snow falcon were not worried. Upon hearing the warning from their companions, they burst into the air and struck in a fight.
In desperation, Bran had no choice but to show up.
Later, as Maya delivered a huge letter to her as she presented a treasure, Bran couldn't help but feel amused. The pressure brought by Wings City seems to have eased a lot.
The Dragoons can't hide what they do from Northland, they are not monolithic. It's just that unlike those people, Bran actually saw worry in Maya's big eyes.
"What are you worried about?" Bran added, looking at Maya's scratching of her ears and cheeks, "Say, I understand." If you don't understand something, they will also have a translator. ”
After speaking, he threw out a few souls. Maya looked at the few people in front of her and couldn't help but squirm her throat. Those people she knew were Reuben and them.
After stabilizing her mind a little, Maya replied honestly, "I'm worried about you. ”
"Oh?"
Hearing the questioning voice, Maya nodded affirmatively, "I'm really worried about you. I feel the environment change, it's no longer so pure, and there's more terrible forces pouring in, which are gradually obscuring your influence. I'm afraid you'll be hurt because of this.
My strength comes from you, and growth can't leave you. I'm just a mature dragon, and it's up to you to grow into a true dragon. ”
"Don't worry, something is happening, but it's good for you. Brandn paused, then said, "Good for most creatures." The magic is shifting to diversity, and it does have some effect on you. When one's own magic is too pure and singular, it does produce some rejection.
It's good to get used to it, and it doesn't cause substantial harm. While it's impossible to empathize with what you're feeling, a similar process is something that every wizard goes through. Because the growth of our wizards is a process of continuous self-purification. ”
After listening to Bran's personal explanation, Maya couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It nodded in acknowledgement, then asked, "I would like to invite my hometown companions to come and visit." ”
Bran was a little confused, so there was no need to ask about this kind of thing, right? He tilted his head slightly, trying to figure out what the hell this stupid dragon was trying to do?
Sensing Bran's doubts, Maya began to explain, "I've decided to stay here forever, and I've chosen my lair. I will also stand firmly on your side in possible conflicts.
But if I need to thrive here, I need to build my own family. I'll invite some companions, and they'll probably choose to stay as well.
I think this needs to be done with your permission first. ”
"You don't need permission for this kind of thing, you have the freedom to come and go. And you have the right to invite guests, and that's your new home after all. ”
Maya hesitated, "I know it's really wrong to come to you for this little thing, but the dragon's relationship with you is not clear......"
Bran interrupted, "Don't worry, I'm actually welcome that. Magic needs to flow, and this barren continent needs nourishment. Any creature that is willing to stay will only bring life to this place. Even if I have a head-on confrontation with the ancestral dragon one day, I still won't anger you. ”
Bran walked over to Maya and raised his hand to pat her shiny scales, "And you're different, you're the first creature to come back to life in my hands. ”
When Maya heard the word "resurrection", she couldn't help but shudder, and everything that night came back to her mind. Break away from the soul of the ** and rush into the magic that suffocates it......
Bran's voice seemed to come from far away, "Don't be surprised, you're dead. After slaughtering and observing tens of thousands of lives, I think you were done with your death.
The magic reshaped everything, and even changed a lot that I couldn't comprehend. Although you are standing here alive today, you should be able to perceive the change. From the moment you are born again, everything is already different.
You are the only black dragon in this world, and you can even be called perfect. Even if I had to do it again, I am afraid that this effect will not be achieved. ”
Bran slowly moved around Maya, and the little hand without any warmth also caressed Maya's body. "You know, I've kind of a belief in fate. There were many wounds on your body that day, and Zoya's magic was still slowly eating away at your life. I couldn't heal it then, because I didn't know the structure of the dragon yet. So I decided to wait until you died, and that's your only chance.
Actually, you don't need to thank me, because it is an unpredictable fate that saved you. ”
Bran slapped Maya a little harder, pulling it back from its sluggish state.
"But my blood is still in your body, and you have gained some of my strength. It's just that you haven't thought about it, you haven't tried it.
You are different, and you can still be the first to notice changes in the magic web at such a distance. There was a similar being in the city, but it was still unconscious. ”
Maya felt her mouth dry for the first time, and she stammered, "So what kind of relationship do we have?"
Bran shook his head, "It doesn't matter, you're still a free-spirited dragon." Tell me, if there's anything else I need my consent or help with? ”
"I was afraid of being isolated in a conflict with outsiders. ”
"I will not participate in your fight, even if you think it is defending my territory and dignity. Looking at Maya, who was a little disappointed, Bran changed his words: "But I can provide you with a little bit of help." ”
As he spoke, Bran pointed to the souls of Ruben and the others, "They are yours, and they should be of some help to you." ”
Maya stretched out a finger and gently stabbed Ruben into the body, piercing through it without incident.
Bran on the side explained softly, "Physical damage has little effect on them, and magic must be attached to it to cause real damage. Similarly, they can no longer deal physical damage externally, but have strange natural instincts. ”
Following Bran's prompting, Ruben suddenly let out a silent howl, which made the unsuspecting Maya feel a little dizzy.
"Because of the bloodline, the impact of their attacks on you will be much lower, but those outsiders will have a hard time having this resistance. More importantly, they are easy to carry. ”
Bran beckoned, and the souls automatically shrank into a ball and threw themselves into Maya's scale armor.
"Trust them to help you through this until you build your own family. If that's not enough, you can pick up some powerful souls at the whimpering beaches on the south coast.
The souls of some wizards wander there, and some of them retain their abilities during their lifetimes. ”
