(82) Competition (Lily Nono, III)
"Just a few of you?" The green dragon scoffed, "A lost dog that has fled hundreds of years with its tail between its legs, plus a few small and weak humans...... Can you give us satisfactory terms? He looked behind Lily with his emerald pupils, greed in his eyes, "I haven't eaten fresh meat in a long time - give me the two young men you carry, maybe I can think about it."

Lily grinned and responded to the green dragon's provocation with a few low sneers.
"You, you've been hiding here for hundreds of years, and you've been the lich's watchdog, and you've lost your brain and eyes?" She sarcastically said mercilessly, "Listen, we didn't run away, we won't run, but the lich, who has already been killed by us once, is now hiding with his tail between his legs, and he doesn't dare to appear in front of us." ”
The green dragon circled slowly around Lily, as if trying to see if she had lied. Perhaps it was her tough attitude that had an effect, and the green dragon slowly retracted its might, and a voice of relief soon came from behind it.
"Oh my God, this is the dragon." Elio lowered his voice and said, "Hey, Ann, are you okay?" ”
"The little girl is better than you, at least she didn't almost fall from here." Bell seized the moment to sneer, only a slightly trembling voice, betraying the fact that he didn't have a good place to go.
"If we really want to fight, we are not afraid of you, and our companions are not afraid of you." Lily 'persuaded' while the iron was hot, "But you stay here for so long, don't you want to leave this hellish place and go outside to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine?" Or are you going to give your life here for the sake of the lich who is no longer powerful, and a pact made hundreds of years ago? ”
She wasn't worried about what the Green Dragon would cause on the El Continent after it left the forest. As far as Lily knows, the current dragons seem to have reached some sort of spontaneous agreement. They seldom appear in front of people, and even when they do step into the world, they take on human form. Even if this dragon is unruly, not to mention a few people from the "Brigade", the guys who want to come to the Wizards' Federation will be happy to have a fresh "experimental material" sent to the door.
It's one thing to hunt and kill a dragon without permission, and it's another thing if that dragon provokes first.
"You said you killed the lich, how do you prove it?" The green dragon asked in a slightly shrill voice, his momentum obviously much weaker than it had been.
"Are you stupid?" Lily sneered, "If he's still here, he'll notice it the moment we enter the forest, and he'll find us." "Or do you think he's going to send you to your death here, and ruin his arrangements here?" ”
This is indeed the truth, and the blue feldspar shook his head, as if he was a little moved. But the green dragon was obviously not satisfied with such conditions, he rolled his eyes, and spoke again, "In that case, do you remember the black dragon named Dikdulla?" ”
Lily exhaled through her nose as a gesture of acquiescence.
"I'm going to get out of here, but you don't want to fight me, do you?" He slowly analyzed, "So, I have one more condition. This condition will not harm you, but will make your journey here a little smoother. ”
"Do you have something to say?" Lily replied coldly.
"The dragon stays in this forest, too." "He is a conceited and arrogant fool who will not grant the lich's request." After learning about Huluman's current situation, he also changed his address to the other party, "I'm not sure what has become of him now, but I want you to find him - if he is still alive, kill him." That's my condition. ”
Lily thought of the grumpy black dragon, thought for a moment, and felt that this condition was not so difficult to accept.
"Okay, let's promise you." She replied, "So, now you can leave?" ”
"Not yet, I can't guarantee that you won't regret it immediately after I'm gone." Green Dragon shrewdly said, "So I need a pact - not with you, September, a simple pact is not valid for you." He looked at the people behind Lily again, "That's the girl, if you don't meet our terms within a month, she will become our subordinate, from body to mind." ”
The mercenary sneered inwardly, and was about to say no, but another voice preempted her.
"No, how can Miss An sign a contract with a guy like you!" Elio said indignantly, "If you have to sign this contract, I'll do it!" ”
Lily kept her mouth shut. Since Elio volunteered so much, there was nothing wrong with letting him get his wish. Anyway, if you really can't meet the conditions, you can kill this green dragon within the time limit. Without the contract of the subject, it is no longer of any use - of course, she will not say this.
She just flapped her wings and slowly landed on the ground. The green dragon landed as well, raising its claws and drawing a dark green rune through the air, imprinting it into Elio's chest.
"Huh?" The young knight clenched his fists, not at all afraid, but with a hint of excitement, "I feel...... I feel more powerful than before! ”
"Even if it's a subordinate contract, you'll be able to share some of my power - after all, it's the good subordinates who are the key." The green dragon explained satisfied, "You're taking a small advantage, aren't you?" ”
"That's enough, Greenstone." Lily interrupted his boasting, "Now, it's your turn to fulfill the promise. ”
"Okay, don't be angry, Green Dragon is an excellent businessman, and businessmen will naturally keep their promises." "Come with me, and let me tell you how to undo the magic that has been set up here - it's taken me more than ten years to figure it out." ”
It seems that this guy is not so stupid, the other party must have been planning to leave here a long time ago, but for some reason it failed to materialize.
She followed the green dragon in the direction of the Lake of Return, the air growing humid and muggy as she went, mixed with a disgusting stench, as if they were not in the forests of the North, but in the rainforests of the tropics.
When the lake finally appeared in front of everyone, everyone except the green dragon, including Lily, couldn't help but take a breath.
It may no longer be called a 'lake' at all, but a boiling swamp filled with mud as thick as rotting green. A thick fog covered the swamp, allowing people to see only a few meters inside - but it is not hard to imagine that the whole lake would have become like this.
