677 Elves and Dragons
The big guy who appeared in front of Ainia was also a giant dragon - although dragons were not common, in places like Seanzu, dragons were not so rare.
It's just that unlike ordinary dragons, although the body of this white dragon is huge, it has no texture, and the scales on the surface of the body show a sense of vanity and transparency, without the shiny and hard reality of the dragon scales that are commonly seen. When it "floated" from the upper floor to Ania just now, it brought a cold and eerie wind behind it, mixed with white snowflakes fluttering like goose catkins.
But despite being an ice goblin, Ainia didn't feel close to the cold aura brought by the white dragon, but was so uncomfortable that she retreated back again and again, and finally retreated to the base of the wall before breathing a sigh of relief.
There is no other reason, just because the negative energy aura emanating from that big guy is too strong, and the little Xiaoice fairy queen can't withstand the terrible erosion.
"This white dragon ghost is here again......" Ania showed a helpless expression, but she was not intimidated by the threat to the other party's life.
She sighed and said to the white dragon, "Mr. Emmonrys, you don't need to be in a hurry. Are you going to listen to Chapter 12 of The Adventures of Freeman the Mage? I'm ready, are you going to listen to it now? ”
When the white dragon ghost named Emmonris heard Ainia's words, the huge dragon face was suddenly stunned, and he actually showed an expression that could be called "cute". He reacted immediately and couldn't wait to ask, "Really?" Didn't you say it would take a while to conceive the story? Why so fast! Why is it so smooth! How can the little guy be so obedient that the great and evil Emmones is bad? Shouldn't you have been threatened, persecuted, tortured, and beaten by me before you were forced to obey my demands? ”
Although the other party bared his teeth and cracked his mouth. She tried her best to put on a terrible expression, but it didn't frighten Ainia. Although she first met Emmones Reese at the time. I was also taken aback. But then I got along a lot and understood each other's temper. I didn't feel scared at all.
As Ania had expected, Emmones roared, then suddenly rolled up in a ball, put on a sleeping position that was very comfortable for a dragon, and said, "Tell a story, Ice Elf!" ”
Ania sighed helplessly and said, "The last time we said that the Freeman mage entered the palace and found that the emperor had died at the hands of the rebels. So he went deep into the palace. Rescued the queen and the two princesses......"
Ania is in the current state where she has to tell stories to a dragon ghost on a regular basis, and it is naturally because of the trap of neutralizing the succubus queen in the city of Flaires. She was also swept up in the time-space vortex, and finally came to the Endless Abyss, but the destination she arrived at was a little off, and she was not with the three of Gordon.
Although the power of the Platinum Seal disrupted the Succubus Queen's teleportation, Ainia's movement destination was not completely random. As an ice fairy, she was attracted by a cold and kind force in the chaotic and disorderly space tunnel, and she couldn't help but approach.
Wait until she comes to her senses. I found myself in this underground space like an ice coffin.
At the beginning, the abundant cold attribute source in the environment made Ania feel very good, and even her strength as an ice fairy was faintly enhanced. But the peace of mind didn't last long. Ainia met the owner of the place, the ghost of the white dragon Emmonris.
To this day, Ainia didn't know exactly where she was. This building is used as a dragon's nest and is covered in snow and ice everywhere. And where is it. She didn't even know where Emmonreth came from. Because this white dragon ghost seems to be a little abnormal in his spirit, and his brain is a little stupid.
Emmonris always referred to himself as "Lord of Seanzu" and "Lord of all Akkhosis". Ainia has not been in the main material realm for long. The history of the four epochs is also not fully understood. But the powerful Dragonborn Empire of the Second Age, Akhorhia, she still knows.
The little Ice Goblin Queen knows it well. With such a great empire, it is impossible for a guy like Emmones to rule. So it's probably this white dragon bragging.
But even if he brags, even if he has a bit of a stupid brain, Emmonris is a dragon after all, and he has some powerful powers that Ainia can't understand at all. So in the case that the shape is stronger than the human, Ainia can only be temporarily placed under house arrest by the white dragon and tell him stories every day in exchange for survival.
So why use "storytelling" as a way to trade for survival?
Logically speaking, a beautiful woman falls into the hands of a five-colored dragon, and given the dragon's lustful nature, it is obvious that she will have to pay a lot of wealth and even her own chastity in order to survive at the hands of the dragon.
However, the white dragon ghost of Emmones is obviously not within the scope of common sense.
When he first met Ainiah, he seemed very lonely, irritable, and idle. Even in the dragon's lair where he lived, there was not a single gold or silver jewel except for the endless ice and snow. It doesn't feel like a dragon's home at all.
Although the Ice Fairy Queen is a little girl who is ignorant of the world in Gordon's eyes, she is already worthy of the evaluation of "resourceful" and "clever tongue" when facing the white dragon Emmonris.
After some fuss, Emmonris agrees to keep Ainea's name on the condition that she relieve herself of loneliness - that is, to tell him stories.
This is a bit like the allusion of "One Thousand and One Nights" on Earth, the girl who married the king had to tell the king a story every day in order to save her life, but because the story was too wonderful and attractive, the king, who was supposed to kill the bride every day, could only make an exception and put down the butcher's knife, just to hear the follow-up of the story.
"Storytelling" is not difficult for Ainia alone. She has been an otaku girl by Gordon's side for I don't know how long, and her belly is full of all kinds of knight novels and adventure stories. However, it has been more than a week since she came to this ice coffin-like dragon's lair, and no matter how many novels Ainia has read, she can't withstand the endless requests of the white dragon.
Even later when she was forced to be helpless, Ainia also started an original, using Gordon as the protagonist and creating a story called "The Legend of Mage Freeman".
But since it's an original story, it takes time to conceive. And the white dragon Emmonris, who has been bored and lonely for I don't know how many years, is obviously unwilling to wait for Ainia to make up stories slowly, and is "urging changes" almost every moment. And this guy doesn't use voting to urge changes like readers of fiction websites, but directly threatens Ainia's life.
Then, the witty Ice Elf Queen got along with another idea to distract the stupid dragon Emmonris.
"Mr. White Dragon, you always say that you are the most evil and powerful dragon, ruling over all of Seanzu and bringing the Akkhohia Empire to its knees. So why is your nest so shabby? There are no mountains of gold and silver, no priceless jewels, and not even beautiful maids to wash your scales and pick your teeth. You know, as an evil dragon, isn't it a matter of course to take beautiful girls into your lair? Don't you even have a pretty girl in the city you rule? ”
Ainia's agitation succeeded indeed.
Emmonres threw down a sentence in a huff: "Hmph, I am the great evil dragon Emmonris!" I have the most treasures in the world, even the two guys of Titanis and Loloados, they will tremble in front of me! Wait, little one, I'll catch a few women and come back! ”
From then on, the white dragon would go out every night, go out late and return early, not knowing what he was busy with.
Although Ania didn't see any girls being caught, at least Emmones didn't keep threatening to tell him stories, and life was much easier.
And then, today, she suddenly sensed a familiar aura in her heart—the reassuring and warm mental fluctuations that undoubtedly belonged to Gordon—the Ice Elf Queen was now and will always be the master.
Ainia wants to use her unique soul contract relationship with her master so that he can perceive his own existence, and then rush to fight the dragon and set herself free.
But Gordon didn't wait, and the white dragon returned to the lair again.
"Okay, that's the end of Chapter 12 of The Legend of Mage Freeman, you can come back tomorrow."
An hour later, a parched Ainia declared the end of the day's story. Although the Ice Fairy does not need to rely on diet to maintain its physiological activity like humans, it does need to absorb ice energy regularly.
"No, no, no!" Emmonris shook his huge head and said like a child, "I want to know the outcome of the Freeman mage and the queen and the two princesses?" Will he marry the mother and daughter together? Well, if he could do that, he would have the demeanor of a dragon. If every human being were like Freeman Mage, we dragons would never look down on this race. ”
Ainia didn't want to be entangled with the big stupid dragon anymore. She used the trick of "changing the topic" and asked, "Mr. Bailong, you have been busy these days, have you gained anything?" The great evil dragon Emmonris, he should have caught a lot of cute girls, right? ”
Ainia didn't expect Emmones to actually be able to come back from capturing a few beautiful women. But what I didn't expect was that the white dragon, who had a good face in the past, was always hesitant in the face of Ainia's problem, and then couldn't bear to run away. But this time, he patted his head and suddenly realized: "By the way, I just want to listen to the story, but I forget to tell you a good news!" (To be continued......)
