The next day, Andrew woke up early as usual. When he opened the door, he saw Christina lying on the edge of the stove, her face still stained with soot, and her face was dusty.

"You...... You wait a little longer. I'm trying to see if I can make a fire without a dragon. It seems to be a little difficult. ”

Andrew sighed helplessly and smiled: "Don't worry, take your time." Not going to the Adventurer's Guild this morning, I have something else to do. ”

"That'...... Am I going alone? Or am I going to stay home alone?"

"You can go with me on errands. ”

"Really?" Christina was overjoyed for a while, and Andrew was a little stunned by that expression.

Sometimes, Andrew actually sympathizes with Christina. How much did this muddy dragon suffer before she met her? If she left, she would probably return to her original life.

Sometimes, Andrew envied Christina again. She can always be happy because of something inconspicuous, and rejoice in something inconspicuous. All the joys and sorrows are written on the face. It's like a transparent person, so straightforward, so free.

Yes, free. It should be described as freedom. Although she seems to be freer than her, it seems that she can solve everything independently. But it's not. Her heart is free. Compared to her, Andrew has so many things hidden in his heart and a heavy burden that no matter what decision he makes, he has to think carefully.

She is a person who runs in the wilderness, although she does not know where she will go, and she tramples on the ground with every step.

Andrew is the one who walks on the single-plank bridge. One wrong step and you'll be shattered. This kind of pressure is something that no one who has experienced it will understand.

"Why don't you use magic? Dragons must also be fire-based magic. Andrew asked, stretching his neck as he straightened his clothes.

"I didn't control it very well, I was afraid of blowing up the house. Christina replied quietly.

"Uh...... How old are you? I mean age, I've never asked you. ”

Lowering her head, Christina replied in a low voice, "Twenty-three ......"

Twenty-three-year-old Dragon, and he's been here for six years...... That is, she came here at the age of seventeen?

Andrew was stunned and couldn't help but glance at Christina.

Immortal creatures, each of which has a different adult cycle.

For example, the Bloodline is normally one hundred and sixty years old. Between the ages of 0 and 160 before adulthood, they are about the same appearance as humans are between the ages of 0 and 16. That is, the growth cycle has expanded tenfold.

Lichs, for example, cannot be judged by their appearance, after all, they have mastered the magic to change their appearance. But normally, it takes a thousand-year-old lich to be considered an adult, and only then can it accumulate strong enough magic power.

As for the dragon...... The first time Andrew saw the young dragon, he didn't know very well. However, if I remember correctly, the dragon clan is officially independent from their parents, and it should be a hundred years old, right? Although the dragon clan grows up very quickly, and after the age of twenty, it is basically considered an adult, and it does not look very different from an adult dragon. But formal adulthood, it should be a hundred years old. The dragon family has a coming-of-age ceremony, which is specially set up for dragons who turn 100 years old. Only dragons who are more than a hundred years old will have the ability to fight and live completely independently, and they are the dragons who are rumored to be almost omnipotent in various stories on the mainland.

Dragons under the age of twenty are basically baby dragons......

"Runaway dragons?" Andrew thought silently. Of course, there was no question to be asked.

After tossing for a while, Christina still didn't light the fire, and Andrew had to help himself. However, he couldn't click it, after all, he never did. In the end, you can only just throw a fireball spell.

After eating, they went out together.

"Where are you going?" asked Christina excitedly.

Andrew replied casually: "Go buy something, we always make money, and we have to spend money, don't we?"

"How much does it cost?" Christina was shocked.

"Otherwise, what are we making money for?"

Christina stared at Andrew blankly.

"Well, maybe the dragons make money just to make money. Andrew sighed helplessly: "Spend my share." All the expenses of today, count as my treat. You can buy as much as you want. ”

"Okay!" Christina smiled sweetly as she tilted her head again.

......

The northern part of the Celtic continent is much poorer than the south. This is no exception to Lin López. It is mainly a matter of land output.

However, it is strangely rich in thriving commerce. If you have to say the reason, it's probably because there are a lot of mercenaries. The mercenaries who live a life of licking blood from the knife edge don't know if they have a tomorrow, so they will not be stingy with money. Crucially, they also have a lot of incidental income. As a result, the commercial prosperity of the small city of Lamlopes was promoted. And the prosperity of commerce has created many disputes, which, in turn, have nourished the mercenary industry.

As far as the eye can see, on the commercial street of Lin López, there are rows of shops with a variety of goods. Most of the people who come and go are mercenaries. The people who act as guards for each shop are also mercenaries.

"I want that hat!" cried Christina happily.

Andrew didn't look at it, and said casually: "Buy." ”

"This Muppet is cute!"

"Buy. ”

"It's a nice dress, but I'm worried I won't have a chance to wear it. After all, you can't wear it for a mission. ”

"Then buy it and put it at home when you have time to look at it. Andrew wrote down an address and handed it to the shopkeeper: "Help me deliver it to this address." ”

"Sorry sir, we don't have a delivery service. ”

Before the boss could finish speaking, Andrew had already dropped two gold coins and walked away.

The boss stared blankly at the gold coins in front of him and Andrew's back in the distance, and said to himself, "I mean...... Under normal circumstances, it is not sent. But it's okay to send it once in a while. Whoever is that, help me to make the delivery!"

Putting on her newly bought hat and holding her large puppet, Christina happily circled the crowd.

"Doesn't Mr. Durroux buy something?"

"What I'm going to buy is in front, and it hasn't arrived yet. Buy what you like first. You can buy everything you like, or buy an entire store if you want. We have enough money. ”

"Okay!" Christina thought for a moment, but her brows drooped slightly, and she whispered, "Forget it, I'd better buy less." After all, it costs money. ”

"Silly girl. Andrew reached out and rubbed her head: "How much can be spent here? Fifty gold coins? One hundred gold coins? Dragon's money is not for spending, but elves' money is for spending." And it's specially for a good-looking girl like you. ”

"Hmm!" Christina nodded heavily, smiling even sweeter.

Along the way, they visited every store, and Christina bought a lot of things, although they counted it, it was less than five hundred gold coins. Five hundred gold coins can coax a happy dragon, and there should be only one in this world.

After a long walk, Andrew eventually walked into a magical medicine store. At first glance, it looks like a grocery store. A crowded space with all kinds of strange things. For example, colorful ores, various grass roots dug up from nowhere, various plants, strange fruits, seeds, bones, and even feathers, eyeballs, ......

Well, it's the grocery stores that lift it up. Maybe the garbage heap is more suitable for it.

There was a shelf dedicated to all kinds of finished potions, and in the center was a huge basin with bubbles in the liquid. Below is a thrizzling fire.

The owner is a goblin wearing a monocle and dozing off on the counter. Andrew pushed the door open and walked in, as if he hadn't noticed.

After going around in a circle, Andrew chose what he needed, filled a basket, and put it on the goblin's counter.

"A thousand gold coins. The goblin's eyes didn't even open.

"So expensive?"

"Of course it's expensive, it's a magic medicine, and we're the only magic shop in Lin López. You can not buy it. The goblin opened his eyes slightly and looked at Andrew.

Well, it's true that the human world has a hard time buying materials for magic. After all, humans hardly perform magic. If it weren't for the fact that Lin Lopez had a large number of mercenaries, and there were many elven mages among the mercenaries, maybe this shop wouldn't exist.

Taking a deep breath, Andrew could only say helplessly: "I still need a scale, do you have it?"

"What scales?" the goblin asked, yawning.

Andrew said casually, "Dragon scales." ”

Saying this, the goblin was suddenly stunned, and his eyes slightly slanted to Christina behind Andrew: "Sir, you should look for Miss Christina." She definitely has the dragon scales you need. Instead of looking for it in my little shop. ”

Christina listened blankly behind her.

Andrew whispered, "I don't want to pluck her dragon scales, do you have them here?" If you have it, I'll buy it all. If not, you don't want any of these things. ”

The goblin hesitated slightly, turned around and flipped through the garbage-like object behind him, and pulled out a palm-sized object wrapped in parchment from it and slapped it in front of Andrew.

"Can you replace it with hydra scales? It's only a hundred gold coins, which is very cheap. ”

"Hydra scales for a hundred gold coins, are you kidding?"

"No kidding, that's the price. I can assure you that the whole of Lin López can't find a second piece. The dragon scales could not be found anywhere except on this Miss Christina. ”

Glancing at the goblin helplessly, Andrew could only uncover the parchment wrapped in the hydra scales and put the scales in his hand to examine them carefully.

The palm-sized scales, with a pattern like a pearl oyster, have a strange color when placed in the sun.

"Okay, I'll do it. ”

"Thank you for your patronage, sir. You don't have that much money with you, do you need me to send someone to pick it up with you?"

"It's for the best. This is the address, you can send someone to deliver things tonight and pick up the money by the way. This is a deposit of three hundred gold coins, and I will take the hydra scales first. ”

"Yes. ”

As she left the magic shop, Christina whispered, "You need dragon scales, why don't you tell me?"

Looking at the scales in his hand through the light, Andrew whispered, "Once the dragon's scales fall off, it will take at least fifty years for them to grow back. Until then, the wound will become the dragon's Achilles' heel. I don't want my partner to have any Achilles' heel. ”

......

In the evening, the magic shop finally sent someone to deliver the things, and took the money by the way.

Andrew sat alone in the large living room and began to process the materials.

Most mages will also be apothecaries. However, it is usually just a simple potion that is made. The real potion still has to be a pharmacist. Unless the mage is a lich with no limit to lifespan, or an ancient bloodline, or something like that. Of course, there can also be elven mages who have studied in the Shenmu Library - Andrew, for example.

It took four hours to boil and add ingredients, including ground hydra scales, and inject magic into the boiling potion. It was only in the early hours of the morning that Andrew boiled the original pot of soup into a sticky shape.

Then, he spread out the bark of a phantom tree and smeared the sticky decoction on it.

Clapping his hands, Andrew said with satisfaction: "It's done!"

"What are you going to do here?" asked Christina, craned her neck.

"Change your face. ”

"Change your face?"

"Don't blink!" Holding the bark, Andrew took a deep breath, recited the incantation, and after being mentally prepared, he slammed the sticky object of the bark to his face.

All of a sudden, the viscous objects began to smoke, and even emitted light that seemed to explode.

"What's wrong with you, Mr. Duru!" Christina was terrified.

"No! I'm fine!" Andrew hurriedly stopped her.

It took a while for the smoke and explosion-like light to stop. Andrew tore the bark off and washed his face with water.

"Whew...... Get. ”

Christina was stunned, her eyes widened, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.

In front of her, a different face appeared. What do you say about one...... Thick, upturned, fierce-looking eyebrows, hooked nose, pointed chin, and bulging cheekbones...... The long ears of the two elves were also gone, and they became two human-like ears.

There is no doubt that this is a minion face, and it is the ugly kind. Although it is very distinctive, it can be unforgettable.

"Why do you have to change your face all of a sudden? It's not pretty. Christina said depressedly, "I still like the original Mr. Duroux." ”

"Yes, I like the original, too. Looking at himself in the mirror, Andrew was also very depressed: "This is the consequence of replacing with hydra scales, is there any hydra that is good-looking? No, so the face made of hydra scales cannot be good-looking." ”

After thinking about it, he probably felt that although it didn't matter if he didn't give Christina any reason, it was better to give a reasonable lie, Andrew said with a smile: "Now everyone's eyes are focused on me, including the guild leader's speech, and they all think that you have achieved results with my help." I felt the need to break this notion. Starting tomorrow, you tell them that Durrou is going to go far away. I'm your new recruit. ”
