Chapter 02: Green Dragon (2)
At this moment, the atmosphere in the house froze.
The green dragon blinked his huge eyes and looked at Andrew silently.
Andrew stood motionless, his eyes wide. I feel like my body is going to be out of order.
You know what it feels like? There's a huge green dragon right away. A green dragon whose claws are bigger than you, and a flick of his tail can make you unconscious for a day. The point is, its tail is right at your feet, and it's still shaking. You have absolutely no idea what's going to happen in the next second.
This seems to be the same green dragon that attacked the slave traders and knocked him unconscious. Why is it here?
What about the woman? Was it eaten? Did they fight with each other? Why didn't there be any movement just now? What was it doing spitting dragon breath at the stove? The woman said that the mercenary group saved her, but she didn't see the mercenary group at all, did ...... The answer is already on the horizon......
Sorry, Andrew didn't think much of it. At this moment, his mind went blank. Ask yourself, you are facing such a behemoth, especially if it is still close at hand, and you don't have time to think so much.
Silence, after a short silence, Andrew faced the green dragon and managed to squeeze out what he thought was the friendliest smile: "Hug ...... Sorry, went to the wrong room. Excuse me, you continue. β
Then, the hand that was still holding the door pulled back little by little, and slowly, slowly, slowly closed the door back.
The next moment, a hysterical roar rang out: "Flame Spell ββ!"
There was a loud bang, and Andrew's room exploded. It was Andrew's hand.
The fiery red light was so conspicuous from a distance in the vast white expanse of town.
In the billowing smoke, the weakened Andrew shielded himself with a magic shield, screaming and being thrown into the sky, then falling into the distance!
A cold wind blew, the flames of magic were extinguished, and the green dragon looked at the big hole in his house that was about to fall off, and wanted to cry without tears.
With a scream, Andrew fell solidly into the snowdrift in the clearing and plunged straight into it.
At this moment, the weak body burst out with a powerful vitality.
"Flame Spell ββ!" was another shout, and the flames whistled out in all directions, instantly dispersing the surrounding snow and setting fire to several surrounding houses by the way.
The attention of the inhabitants of the entire town was drawn to it. Someone is looking through the window, someone has already opened the door.
The streets that were originally empty suddenly became more crowded.
Andrew ran barefoot and in the snow in his single clothes: "Run!
The townspeople looked at him in disbelief.
"Runββ! there's a dragon! Really! I didn't lie to you!"
The townspeople still looked at him blankly.
Looking back, Andrew saw from a distance that the green dragon flapped its wings and took off, its huge head slowly twisting, and its gaze had fallen on him. No, to be more precise, the green dragon was already flapping its wings and flying towards him!
"I'm Andrew, the chief archmage of the Mage Alliance, I can't die hereββ!" Gritting his teeth, turning around completely, Andrew quickly made a spell casting gesture with both hands, condensing all his strength: "Flame roarsββ!"
With a shout, the flames instantly condensed in his hand, like a volcanic eruption, and blasted towards the dragon, drawing an arc in the sky, and the green dragon did not hit, but hit the fortress in the distance, cutting off a corner of the fortress. It caused an uproar among the residents of the city.
"Didn't hit ......" Andrew was in a trance for a while, took a step back, and looked at the green dragon in the distance with a look of fear.
The foot squeaked as it stepped on the snow.
"Calm down! Calm down! You should wait until it gets a little closer, right...... Get closer, and you'll never get crooked. Andrew gasped heavily, staring at the green dragon as he silently prepared a new spell.
Then he soon discovered one thing: the green dragon was not intending to come near him.
Strangely, the green dragon flapped its wings and hovered in the air, watching him silently, not looking ready to get closer.
"What is it going to do?" Andrew tensed, then ...... He soon noticed that the inhabitants were coming towards him angrily, armed with weapons of all kinds.
"Great, you've finally come to your senses! It's a dragon, but we might be able to ...... Whew!"
A wooden stick hit Andrew on the door of the head.
"What do you want to do?"
"Stop fighting!"
"The dragon is over there! What are you hitting me for?"
After being hit in the face by a meteor hammer and knocking off two teeth, Andrew's consciousness, which had just woken up, finally began to blur.
One last look, he saw the green dragon flying towards him.
"Dragon...... Over there......"
......
When Andrew woke up again, he found himself still lying in the same house he had been in. The difference is that this time it's in the hall. Because the original room had been blown away by him, the whole house was blown open a big hole, and the cold wind blew through the hole. He himself was tied to a pillar with strips of cloth in his mouth.
Not far away, a large group of fierce inhabitants gathered, including dwarves, orcs, goblins, barbarians with white hair and pupils, and a half-crouching cyclops, at least eight meters tall. The girl in green she had seen before was bowing her head to them.
"I'm sorry, I'll compensate you for your losses. I apologize to you on his behalf. β
"He burned down my house and it would take at least a gold coin to fix it. β
"Okay, I understand. The girl silently took out a gold coin from her purse and handed it to the speaker.
"My house was also burned down for two gold coins. β
"Okay. I'm really sorry. β
"The biggest problem is the castle, which costs at least a thousand gold coins. β
"Why do you want so many gold coins? I don't think the loss is very serious. β
"Fifty gold coins are the cost of repairs, and the remaining nine hundred and fifty gold coins are fines. You should be glad he didn't hurt anyone, otherwise it wouldn't be the price. β
"But I only have seven hundred gold coins here......"
The bearded dwarven soldier in armor snatched the money bag from the whole thing: "Owe the rest first, and then give it when you have the money." β
"Okay, thanks. β
"Take care of him, and next time, the fine will be ten times as much as this time. Scattered, scattered, go back. β
"Okay, I got it. Thank you for the trouble. I'm really sorry. β
The crowd walked away, and the girl bowed and apologized to them behind her. It wasn't until everyone had left that she slowly breathed a sigh of relief, wiped her sweat, and looked back at Andrew.
Andrew stared at her with a wink.
The girl walked up to Andrew step by step and looked at Andrew helplessly. Shaking his ears, he pouted, "My name is Christina Green Miracle." Green Miracle is my last name, and I'm a green dragon. β
Andrew looked at Christina in horror.
"I won't hurt you. People here know me and I've lived here for many years. So, you don't need to be afraid of me. β
Andrew blinked and continued to look at Christina.
Christina sighed helplessly, and continued: "You should have heard it just now, because of you, I have lost all my money. That's the money I earned so hard. You know, it's not easy to make money with a dragon. β
Andrew nodded and shook his head again.
Christina stretched out her hand to pull out the strip of cloth that was stuffing Andrew's mouth, but hesitated again and whispered, "I'll pull the strip off, you promise not to recite the spell, okay? I really don't have any money." β
Andrew nodded emphatically.
Christina then reached out and pulled the strip of cloth off.
Andrew gasped heavily, and it took a while before he regained his strength: "You...... Is it a green dragon?"
"Yes. Christina nodded.
"You live here with a bunch of humans?"
"Not just humans, but dwarves, cyclops, goblins, orcs......" Christina counted one by one with her fingers pinched.
"That's not the point. Andrew interrupted: "The point is...... Aren't they afraid of you?"
"Why are they afraid of me?" asked Christina rhetorically.
All of a sudden, Andrew was asked, and he didn't know how to answer for a long time. I can only turn around and say, "Well, I apologize for my actions." Can you let me go first?"
Christina frowned and hesitated.
"Let me go, and I'll take responsibility for my actions. Andrew quickly added, "I mean, I'll take responsibility and compensate for what I damaged." Including the reimbursement of the part you helped me to compensate. β
"Are you rich?" Christina was stunned.
"Not yet, but soon there will be, only a thousand gold coins, not a lot. Andrew kept struggling: "Quick, help me untie it." I'm about to be strangled. β
"Well, I'm willing to risk it for a thousand gold coins!" Christina hurriedly walked behind her and helped Andrew untie the rope.
Rubbing his strangled wrist, Andrew shuddered violently: "Let's change to a warmer place first, shall we? And where's my dinner?"
......
Night fell silently.
After a riot, this small town on the edge of the Lombak Empire remained as peaceful as ever. Of course, I am afraid that you can't be quiet in such a cold winter.
Christina's home is actually quite large, if you use the standards of ordinary humans. There are only four rooms, all of which are normal normal sizes. But the living room is super big, big enough to fit her in the form of a dragon. Not only can it fit, but it can also move freely.
Strictly speaking, Christina's house should be the second largest building in the whole town after the fortress.
Andrew's room was blown up, and one of the walls of the hall was blown up, so the living room was terribly cold. Two people could only huddle in one of the small rooms.
Andrew was holding a large plate and was eating hard, while Christina sat across from him, holding her cheeks and watching him quietly.
Finally, Andrew was finally full, burped contentedly, and looked at Christina: "Won't you eat some?"
Christina shook her head and said with a blank expression: "I don't want to eat, the house is broken, and I'm not in the mood to eat." I had to wait until after winter to get someone to fix the house, and I had no money. Can't afford to pay your salary. Maybe I should take a trip to the Adventurers' Guild tomorrow to see if there are any new quests to pick up. β
"Don't worry. It's just money to repair the house, and I'll earn it soon. I've never bothered about anything like that. Seriously, I still don't believe that a dragon would be sad for a thousand gold coins. Didn't the dragons all hide in caves, lying on as many gold coins as the mountains?"
"Are you laughing at me?" Christina's eyes widened.
"No! No!" Andrew shook his head in fright and waved his hand, "Absolutely not, I'm just just curious." β
"It's good if not. Christina pouted and said with a look of resentment: "I hate people laughing at me the most." I moved here because I didn't want to be ridiculed. No one here is going to laugh at me. β
"Who would laugh at a dragon?"
"Dragons. β
"Oh well, I see. Andrew wiped his sweat and asked, "So, the 'mercenary group' that attacked me is actually you?"
"I'm here to save you, I'm here to save you!"
"I know, I know...... I mean, what about the mercenary group, you're the only one?" Lowering his voice, Andrew asked in a low voice, "More precisely, I mean to ask, mercenary group...... It can't be made up of a bunch of dragons, is it? It's a regiment after all. β
As he spoke, Andrew looked cautiously at Christina.
Christina blinked and said, "And Little Andy, Little Lynn, Little Jeff, Little Henry." β
"Why do your members have a 'small' in front of their names?"
"Because they're really small. β
"Well, any species is 'small' compared to dragons, but I don't like to be called Little Andrew. β
Christina took a deep breath and pointed to the side: "Little Andy." β
Andrew hurriedly turned his face sideways, and then ...... He saw a mouse. Yes rats, very ordinary, gray kinds. The gray mouse also stood up and waved at him: "Squeak." β
Christina pointed to the other side: "Little Lynn." β
Well, another rat.
"Squeak. β
"Little Jeff. β
"Squeak, squeak. β
"Little Henry. β
"Squeak, squeak, squeak. β
Four rats...... Andrew couldn't even tell who was who, because they all looked the same.
"Today you blew up little Henry's room, and our current room is Little Lynn's. β
For a while, Andrew didn't know what to say, so he could only turn his face back in a daze.
"Maybe I'm a little bit behind. I would venture to ask...... Is it popular to form a mercenary group with rats in the dragon capital now?"
"The Adventurer's Guild stipulates that it takes five people to form a mercenary group, and it is difficult for independent adventurers to receive good tasks. After all, employers prefer to trust organizations with a lot of people. Christina replied with a blank face, "I also applied to join some mercenary groups, but none of them wanted me. So, I can only set up a mercenary group on my own. We're called the Rat & Dragon Mercenary Regiment. β
As she spoke, Christina also stretched out two fingers and said excitedly: "We are already a second-level mercenary group." Actually, last month we were still a third-level mercenary group, but because I accidentally set my employer's house on duty during the mission, we were demoted. β
