Chapter 20: Metamorphosis
"Since you can't get smaller, let's change back!"
After sneaking a glance at his wife, Diablo's gaze looked at the evil sword in front of him, which was too big to speak, with a thick spine and a densely serrated blade, and a sharp edge, which did not match his current image.
But it's just that the image is not worthy, if you really use it, Diablo feels that it can still be used, at least there will be no conflict in the power attribute.
"Yes, Dragon Lord!"
The evil dragon that had just been tossed around was now very honest, and after being filled with an ominous brilliant blood-red aura, it had turned back into the hideous and evil Hellfire Ancient Dragon.
"Practice hard, it's been so long, and it can only become an evil sword that can't change size. ”
Diablo's tone was full of disgust, "When will you become the dragon halberd I want?"
"I'm trying, Lord Dragon, give me a little time, I won't let you down. ”
Lorraine, the ancient dragon of the Hellfire, nodded and said, the huge size, the fierce appearance, and the comparison of Diablo's immature appearance and small size, made the Blood Prison Queen who was watching from the side feel a little funny.
And this seemingly ridiculous scene appeared under her power.
"Well, I'll give you another three months......"
"Dragon Lord, three months is too short, can it be extended a little longer? at least three years. ”
Hearing Diablo's words, Lorraine, the ancient dragon of the Hellfire, immediately bought himself more relaxed time, he felt that this little guy had no concept of time. Three months is not enough sleep, what can you do with it?
"Huh, you're questioning me?"
Diablo, who could sense the change in the dragon's mood, snorted softly, and the dragon shuddered,
"I don't dare, it's just that three months is really not enough. "The evil dragon has been wronged.
"Diablo, check it once a year!" At this time, Ophelia stood up and said a fair word.
"This secret method is not coming up soon, and in the process of cultivation, he still has to cooperate with the devouring of various metals. A check once a year can urge him not to be lazy. ”
"Oh, that's it, that's okay!" the eldest wife spoke, Diablo could only nod in agreement, and then the young dragon's eyes fell on the evil dragon in front of him,
"Check it up once a year, and if you don't make progress, I'll let you experience that taste for a day and a night. ”
"Don't worry, Dragon Lord, I will definitely not be lazy. ”
Hearing Diablo's threat, Lorraine, the ancient dragon of Hellfire, patted his chest and assured him.
"Hmm. Diablo nodded reservedly, and then he was picked up, his feet dangling in the air, and the high-grade dragon aura suddenly disappeared.
"Ophelia, what are you doing? ”
The embarrassed posture made Diablo a little anxious, and even showed an angry look on his face.
"It's class time!"
Seeing Diablo's annoyed and angry appearance, Ophelia, who picked Diablo up with one hand, chuckled, she just wanted to see his reaction on a whim.
"Class, what class?" Diablo was stunned, "Didn't you say that you would have a holiday today?"
In the past six months, he has basically reached a tacit understanding with his eldest wife who teaches and learns six days off and one day off. Six days off and one day off, today is his day off.
"Who told you about the holidays?" Ophelia smiled playfully at Diablo's words.
"You're ......"
"What's the matter, you can remember it well, when did I promise to give you a holiday?"
"Yes......" As soon as he said one word, Diablo froze, for he searched through his memories and found that Ophelia had never acknowledged this routine in the face.
"What?
"......" Diablo was silent.
"I didn't mean to embarrass you, it's just that your heart has been on this evil dragon for the past few days, you haven't studied hard in class, and you haven't reached the standard in the recent after-school assessment, so you really don't think I'll let you go like this!"
"So you have to make up the class?" Hearing this, Diablo sighed, but he didn't resist, it was his fault that he was distracted in class, and since it was his fault, he had to admit it.
"Of course, in the past few days, you have taken care of yourself and returned to your previous learning state, this dragon is here, and you can't run away. I'll watch it for you!"
"Well, good. ”
So, Diablo followed his eldest wife and began a painful but happy study life.
Pain is because learning is a very boring process, and happiness is because after a period of time, he can clearly feel the improvement of his ability.
Learning is never happy, and learning itself is not for the pursuit of happiness, but for improving one's abilities and being able to be happy in life after completing one's studies. Diablo is still very clear about this.
Therefore, Diablo, who accidentally went to the outside world and felt the world's malice towards him, accepted his studies very honestly and seriously, and became a very standard three-good student.
Time passed day by day in this boring and tedious learning life, and Diablo's dragon body was also fed by Ophelia's saturation, growing day by day, and every once in a while it grew larger.
Because under the protection of the Queen of the Dragon Domain, Diablo doesn't worry about food at all, and just eats it every day with his belly open.
His life is also very simple, eating, studying, sleeping. At times, Diablo feels like an indifferent and ruthless learning machine.
However, this boring study career finally came to an end temporarily with Diablo's dragon body that stopped growing.
"Ophelia, I'm so sleepy!"
Diablo, who looked up from the book in a daze, his eyes half-open and half-closed, looked at the Serapod Angel kneeling in front of him, and muttered softly.
"Sleep when you're sleepy, count the time, and your slumber period should be up. ”
Looking at the sleepy young dragon in front of her, Ophelia's voice was more gentle than ever.
"But I'm so hungry that I can't sleep. ”
Diablo stretched out his paws in some distress and touched his belly, in fact, he slept quite soundly, but he couldn't hold his stomach and kept protesting to his body.
"Eat when you're hungry, and go back to sleep when you're full. ”
Looking at Diablo's state, Ophelia shook his head slightly, the little husband in this state only had food and sleep left in his head, and it was impossible to study.
With a slight movement of thoughts, the various delicacies that had been prepared long ago were suddenly held high above the heads of the dragon servants and brought to Diablo.
Suck~
Diablo's nose twitched twice, he smelled the aroma of food, and he stood up in hunger, shuddering the dragonman servants who came before him.
His size had changed dramatically from when he was born, and when he first broke out of his shell, he was only a lap larger than an adult foal, and now, to mortals, he was a giant beast, a huge beast with a body size of more than fifteen meters.
Therefore, his every move is a great threat to those who are weak.
Well, dragonmen don't count, although they are small, they are extremely strong, and with a certain number of advantages, they can even hunt dragon beasts.
Oh!
Diablo didn't care about the dragonman who was frightened by him, his attention was fixed on the steaming, fragrant giant meat steak that was held above his head by the dragonman.
Poof!
The juice splashed in his mouth, but Diablo didn't have time to savor it, so he swallowed the meat in his mouth and the bones on it, and then set his eyes on the next plate that came to him automatically.
Full plates in, empty plates out, Diablo, who has entered the period of transformation, has an incredible amount of food, and the dragon slaves who bring food to Diablo keep coming in and out.
All of this fell into Ophelia's eyes, and she looked at Diablo's state and fell into deep thought, because it was not what she expected.
It is not uncommon for normal dragons to complete their transformation by sleeping, but for most of the dragons in the dragon realm who collect all kinds of treasures from the Grand Arcanist and combine their whims, there is no such problem.
Yes, in the eyes of the Arcanists, one of the dragons' flaws is to transform through sleep, because dragons must find a place of absolute safety during their sleep, and if discovered, they will put themselves in an extremely dangerous situation. Many powerful dragons were slaughtered because of this irresistible slumber.
As a result, there are very few dragons in the Dragon Domain that need to go through a long slumber to complete their transformation. It stands to reason that Diablo also does not need to sleep, for in Taling's description, he is by far the most perfect species, an existence that can only be born by a miracle.
"Is it because of me?"
With a lot of thoughts, the queen who ruled the dragon domain finally thought of herself,
"I gave Diablo absolutely safe environment, so he instinctively chose to complete his transformation by sleeping down, after all, he adjusted himself to the outside world. Hmm, let's ask Taling Radiance!"
Although there was an idea of throwing Diablo out of the territory to see what would happen to Diablo, Ophelia quickly erased the idea for the simple reason that she was reluctant.
When she had spent five years raising Diablo, it could be said that she was meticulous, and in order to verify that something went wrong with such a trivial matter, it would be worth the loss.
"Ophelia?"
Diablo, who was eating and drinking, looked up at his side, empty, moved, and his eyes that were half-open and half-closed were completely open.
And the five-colored aura flowing at the edge of the golden scales on his body suddenly became more dazzling.
"Should be back soon. ”
After thinking about it for two or three breaths, Diablo, who was still in a state of hunger, finally set his eyes on the food in front of him, and his mental state was much better than before, and he was not drowsy at all.
