Chapter 4: She and Her Dragon
The cat-man attacked me and was wounded, and she jumped on the roof and wailed.
Ivey's father was startled, and the guards panicked, and they turned their weapons at me, but no one dared to do anything.
I had already spoken, and now I don't have to hide it, so I said, "I didn't do it, the cat did it." ”
They froze again, and Ivy became angry, "What are you doing, father, why are you letting Ruth do it? He's smart and gentle!"
Ivy ordered the guards to stand back, but her father looked at me in disbelief, still afraid of what might happen.
I don't like to be strong, in fact, I should go, but I have a crush on the cat, and I am reluctant to leave now.
So I grabbed my soft wings and said that if you don't welcome me, I'll go, and someone else will be willing to take me in.
I turned around and left, Ivy suddenly became anxious, and the viscount said in a panic, "Wait, I'm just ...... Flattered, the wurms who can speak human language are all noble and high races, how can you appear in the human world?"
I expected what he said, and I called it retreating into advance, which was a ploy of the human race.
"Look at my wings and claws, I was badly wounded, attacked by a kraken. If you help me, I will repay you. ”
I was right, the viscount's eyes lit up, where was there any fear. He hurriedly waved off the guards and respectfully invited me: "I'm really sorry, I'm too timid, please come in." ”
Ivy rejoiced, too, and came to pull my claws again. The cat looked angry on the glazed tiles, as if he had been greatly wronged.
The Viscount personally arranged a room for me, and gave me a separate courtyard, and then I was served with good food and drink, and even a few maids came to help me bathe.
I've found that I can still live well without gems because I'm a noble wurm who can talk.
But temporary enjoyment is not my purpose, my purpose is to become human.
I remember Riri's words, he said that the ability of dragons to turn into humans was given by dragon knights, dragon knights thousands of years ago.
I took a shower and went to ask Ivey about the Dragon Knight, and she looked confused: "Dragon Knight? Do you mean the saints of the Holy See? They tame the Wurm as mounts, also known as Dragon Knights." ”
No, no, they're not.
I say real dragon knights, mounts are dragons.
Ivey's face changed: "Don't talk nonsense, the dragons are terrifying, and you will be punished for insulting them like this." ”
Ivy was a true fear of dragons, and she didn't know anything about dragon knights.
But someone must know, only a thousand years have passed, is there no trace left?
I'm not in a hurry if I can't find a trace for the time being, anyway, I've already arrived in the Terran world.
So I set my sights on the cat on the roof. She was now miserable, her paws wrapped in a white cloth, her hair was decadent, and she was weeping in the wind, and the Viscount asked her to come down to heal her wounds, but she refused to do so, and was still angry.
Such a stubborn cat is really cute.
I went to the eaves and called her, "Hey, your name is Ruth, right?
A wurm stood with his head held high and spoke to the amazement and horror of the people nearby, and Ruth didn't even look at me, she stubbornly got angry.
It's impossible for me to pursue her now, and the words of praise don't work for some reason, so I can only take the next step and give gifts.
I went to the viscount and asked for a little Terran currency, and went out in the open.
It was very lively outside, and I even saw a group of people around the wine table talking about me. They said that there was a wurm in Cerves' house, which was really scary.
I leaned over to them and listened for a moment and interjected, "That wurm is gentle and kind, it's Miss Ive's pet. ”
"What? Is it a pet? Will he be a pet? That's a big deal, the Cervesian family is going to rise. ”
"That's right, Miss Ivey is also very good, pets can participate in the war, and she will definitely become the chief student of Roland Academy this year. ”
They talked with great interest, looked back at me again, and then ran away in fright: "Dragon!"
I was so scared that I didn't even say the word "Ya", but I liked that they called me Dragon.
The street was in chaos, and the nobles and commoners alike hid far away. But they refused to leave, and looked at me in amazement.
In the distance, vendors were packing up, and I saw an old man selling books dozing off, and he was the only one who didn't notice me.
I'm interested in Terran books, because books can record history, maybe dragon knights.
I went at once, and the vendor here ran away, and the old man was still dozing, he was bearded, sloppy, and obviously had a bad time.
I crouched down and rummaged through his booksstand, which were very old and broken books, mostly related to magical stories, and very boring.
I flipped to the bottom and found a book that caught my eye.
She and Her Dragon
The book is also very old, with a picture of a woman and a dragon on the cover.
This dragon is red, it is the Alectron, which is the race of the red.
But this is not a real red dragon, it is not very much like, the forelimbs are very short, and there is a clear bias towards the wurm, just a magnified wurm several times, prostrate on the ground, and the beautiful woman in light veil caresses his neck beside him.
I flipped through the pages of the book, and it was a story of a girl and a dragon, and it mentioned that the red dragon would become a man, and the girl was a great dragon knight.
But how dragons become human is not described, which disappoints me. The Terrans seem to have forgotten the true connection between the dragon knight and the dragon, and that connection is what I was looking for.
However, I still left the currency and took the book with me, because it is a yellow book and it is very collectible.
After buying "She and Her Dragon", I went shopping on the street again, and I wanted to buy Ruth gifts to please her.
What do cat people like? Humans love flowers, but orcs certainly don't, they came out of the forest.
Cats love ...... Fish, presumably fish.
I immediately went to buy fish, but the fish in the market were wet, and the fish sellers avoided me, and I didn't want to catch the wet fish.
So I took a dried fish.
It's a half-meter-long dried fish that has lost moisture and smells strong, which cats should like.
I carried it back, and as soon as I got to the door I saw Ruth basking in the sun on the roof, and she was in no pain at the moment.
I knew she would refuse my gift, so I just threw the fish up: "Ruth, for you." ”
The dried fish smashed into the roof, and she meowed in fright, and stood on all fours, with her hair blown up, very cute.
Then she was furious: "What the hell do you want?
She dropped the fish again, and I hastened to duck away, only to find Viscount Sewes staring at me at the doorway.
He laughed dryly, "Mr. Yalong, Ivey is going back to the academy, I wonder if you can ......."
He asked me to accompany Ivey to the Academy, and if I agreed, it would mean agreeing to a kind of contract with the Terrans.
Terrans have battle partners, they can be beasts, orcs, or even wurms.
For example, Ruth, Ruth is actually the viscount's nominal partner, and of course she mainly enjoys the worship here.
If Ivey had a wurm as a partner, the Cerwes would have grown.
I pretended to think about it for a moment to raise my worth, and then I hesitated, "Actually, I have an old friend among the Terrans, her name is Lisa Lowell, and if you can help me find her, I can shelter Ivy for a while." ”
The Viscount was stunned and wondered, "Lisa, is she from the Lowell family? I haven't heard of it." ”
Neither the old captain nor the viscount knew my mother, and my mother didn't come back that year? No, my father himself sent her back, and nothing could have happened to her.
I said that you should go to the Lowell family to inquire, and inform me if there is news, and I will accompany Ivey to the academy first.
The viscount immediately agreed, and promised to find clues. He was a bit verbose and talked a lot of nonsense with me before finally sending someone to investigate.
Ivy was ready to go to the academy early, nervous and excited, saying that no one's partner had ever been a wurm.
This small seaside city-state is not developed, and wurm is indeed rare, but those big city-states must have a lot of wurm pets.
I don't care about anything, and now I'm still figuring out how to pursue Ruth.
Before I leave, I have to lay a good foundation, and next time we come back, we can have a certain exchange.
I secretly asked Ivy what Ruth liked. Ivy blinked and secretly told me, "She likes money, she's raising money, and she sends money home every year." ”
I said where is her house? Ruth looked to the east, "Forest of the Elves, where all the orcs live." Ruth sent the money back, and the cat people over there could buy food, otherwise they would starve to death, in fact, many cat people along the coast were making money, and there were rabbit people, fox people, a lot of them. ”
My mother doesn't have much in her memory, so I'm amazed at the moment.
The orcs actually make the money of the Terrans, and then buy the food of the Terrans, which is an indirect dependence on the Terrans, which is a terrible phenomenon.
Rieri the Turtle told me many things on his way through the currents, including the orcs.
He said that the orcs were also a great race, and he had seen 100,000 minotaurs storm the Terran fortress, and even the dragons could feel awe in that formation.
Many years ago, orcs were also the dominant race in Hera, but now they are even weaker than humans.
The legend of the dragon knight is dead, so is the indomitable orc, there are no more powerful humans, no more living dragons.
I felt a little confused, what had happened to this continent?
I couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and then I saw Ruth leap off the beam of the room and turn into a human form and snort at me, and walk gracefully towards the house.
Her skin was so white, her starfish were big, and her legs were so long that the dragon couldn't take his eyes off it.
I immediately stopped pondering, and chased after me with a smile: "Hey, Ruth, where are you going?"
She ignored me, and Ivy shouted from afar, "Ruth, are you going to send money?"
Ruth nodded, and went back to her room to collect the money she had hidden. I squeezed in, and she was startled, and then she angrily scolded, "What are you doing, don't think I'm afraid of you!"
I said I found a treasure, would you like it?
I snapped my claws and said, "You go out to sea from the dock, and in about two hours you will see the first Yalong Island, there is a tallest tree on the island, you are facing the big tree, row five hundred meters to the southwest, and then dive into the water to find it, the treasure is there." ”
That's my gem, I remember the location, and the error is no more than twenty meters.
"You think I'm going to believe it? I don't have the heart to joke with you. ”
Ruth didn't believe it at all, why did I say that I, as a noble wurm, lied to you?Ruth frowned: "Then why are you so kind?"
"Because you're pretty, I like girls like you. ”
Her eyelashes were raised, her nose was wrinkled, and her eyes were full of strange colors.
Then she scolded another word of neurosis.
I won't pester her, let her try, maybe it's true? She didn't speak, as if she was considering.
Over there, Ivy was about to leave, and I got into the carriage with "She and Her Dragon". Ivy was very curious, and took the book over and looked at it: "What kind of book is this?"
She looked at it for a while, and lost her face red: "It's so annoying!"
