Chapter 007: Teachings from the Elders

"You're awake. Consciously retracting his palm, Lanlos smiled lightly at the huge dragon head buried in the snow.

Seeing a wisp of black streamer connecting himself and the other party's palm torn off because of this, the blue dragon let out an extremely subtle and inexplicable low sound. Then, realizing that the existing power was not enough to power her body, Tyri immediately mobilized her magic and transformed into a mortal form in a burst of brilliant brilliance.

"Uh......" Despite returning to the elf posture, Tyri felt a sense of vanity rising from the bottom of her heart, and a sharp pain in her chest.

Seeing that the other party was trembling and almost about to fall, Lanlos hurriedly stepped forward to support her and helped her sit down by the campfire.

"How long was I in a coma. The warmth of the firelight dissipated the tiredness and pain of her body a little, and Tyri's characteristic cold voice added a touch of laziness to it.

Although it is not good to say this, it does add a touch of realism to her, and it also adds a lot of charm.

"About three or four days, and I woke up earlier today. ”

Nodding, Tyri looked around, looking at the dense lights in the night, and doubts suddenly spread over her delicate face: "Where is this?"

Hearing this, Lanros couldn't help but let out a wry smile: "I think, we have left Azeroth......"

The evening breeze mixed with flying snow was extremely cold, as if even time had frozen at this moment, but soon, the blue dragon lady with a look of surprise broke the silence: "What...... Ahem!"

As soon as the shrill exclamation came out, Terri suddenly felt a burning pain welling up in her heart, and she hurriedly opened her chest and looked down, and soon, her face became extremely ugly.

To be honest, it was the first time that someone like Tyri had such a rich expression in such a short period of time.

"Shadow magic is ingrained in your flesh and blood, and even if you change your form, you can't undo its effects. He didn't take the opportunity to peep, but Lanros knew exactly what Tyri was seeing. Anyone who found himself with such a hideous scar would not feel good, and he felt it deeply.

Especially if the other party is still a woman......

After a long silence, Tyri relaxed her tense nerves, and whispered like a dream, "I, am I going to die?"

There was no response, and Lanlos didn't know how to respond.

For a group like the Dragons, who have a huge mission, death is not terrible. The terrible thing is that he knows that the scythe of death hangs over his head, and he can't do anything about it.

A faint wry smile appeared on her face, and the Blue Dragon Lady stared ahead in a daze, the crimson flames leaping in her gloomy eyes, full of mockery.

"Are you scared?" Lan Luo sighed quietly, and his soft words seemed to touch the other party's scars.

He hadn't forgotten that the reason why Terri suffered such an injury was to save herself. If it was the Blue Dragon Clan's gratitude to help him suppress the evil energy before, then this time, Lan Luo had no excuse to ignore it.

He doesn't like to owe favors, so much so that he draws on the shadow magic of the other party, regardless of his own injuries, to alleviate the pain caused by this power. So much so that until now, he has been planning in his mind to find the possibility of eradicating this force.

In fact, with his memory and knowledge, he had a lot of useful ideas. But he couldn't say it, he couldn't give a reasonable explanation for how he knew about it.

Therefore, his comfort seems very clumsy.

Tyri didn't ignore Lanloth's slightly awkward questioning as usual, and gave him a non-worrying smile. Then, as if it was cold, he clasped his hands around his knees and moved slightly closer to the campfire.

The long blue hair spread out like a waterfall, almost completely enveloping her delicate body, and her feminine temperament made people feel pity involuntarily.

"No, I'm just a little worried. ”

He knew what she was worried about, the decline of the blue dragon made everyone in their clan look like treasures, which was why Teregossa would bring two high-level combat powers to his master in the first place.

And what happened to the two of them in Karazhan seems to have been labeled death on the side of the dragon clan.

To be killed by a mortal a blue dragon is unreasonable to say that the old madman who guards the calf of Malygos is not angry.

It is not even unceremoniously possible for the weaver to go to war against the mortal caster for this reason.

Thinking of this, even Lanlos couldn't help but let out a long sigh. I have made such a great contribution to the peace between dragons and mortals, but now I have fallen short, and it is even possible to advance the Austrian nuclear war many years later to the level of burning eyebrows, what a failure......

"Sometimes I really don't understand. Glancing at the other party in amazement, Terri seemed to have completely stepped out of the shadow of death, and her words were unexpectedly teasing, "You often seem to be a master of prophecy who knows the past and the future, could it be that you have nothing to do with the bronze dragon?"

"Bronze Dragon, what's that?" a loud thud came from his chest, and Lanlos hurriedly snorted.

Because of the particularity of the bronze dragon's duties, even the dragon clan rarely encounters it, and mortals can count it on one hand if they know the existence of this group. Tyri was relieved about Lanlos's performance: "They are the managers of time...... Well, you don't understand it. ”

"......" smiled stiffly, Lan Luo slowly calmed down, looking at the Blue Dragon Lady, who had a completely different temperament from the past, his mood became more and more depressed.

The shadow of death still dealt a heavy blow to Tyri......

looked at the other party's face with feeling, and the smile on Tyri's face like a spring breeze gradually disappeared, like a veteran who had unloaded his armor and returned to the field, lonely and unwilling.

"I, I just don't want to die before I ...... I'm sorry if it causes you discomfort. ”

Hearing that the other party's voice became low again, Lanlos wanted to slap himself in the mouth, but compared to deceiving himself, facing the future and venting his emotions in time was a little cruel, but at least it was more real.

Seeing Lanloth slowly shake her head to show that she was okay, Tyri once again focused her gaze on the firelight, and as the joyful dancing fireworks completely occupied her vision, her soft whisper that seemed to disperse as if the wind blew slowly drifted into Lanloth's ears.

"Maybe that's my fate, I'm born destined to go through ups and downs. ”

"Compared to my own kind, when I was a child, I was frail and sickly, and I was on the verge of death several times, and what they said to me most often was that this child would not live to see the sun tomorrow in Kodala. Tyri recounted her past as she seemingly casually played with the necklace that had slipped out of her breastplate because of the action, "I don't know why, but I know that I don't like that look of pity, and the more they say that, the more I want to live." ”

"I did everything I could to find the strength to stay alive, and in the end, this will helped me stand out from my peers and I became one of the best in the younger generation. ”

Not as proud and proud as ordinary people mention their achievements, Tyri not only brushes them aside, but also looks very lonely with a self-deprecating smile on her face: "In this way, the young dragon who used to die became a genius who stood alone. ”

"And it didn't make my life much better. ”

"The current situation of our race is destined to be under pressure from the younger generation, and I, a rising star, need to accept higher requirements than other similar people. ”

"During that time, I didn't learn anything other than accepting death and giving death to my enemies. ”

"I knew I was going to meet this fate one day, but I didn't expect it. After a pause, Tyri's fingers gripping the necklace trembled with overexertion, "So fast......"

The word camouflage can be used not only on the battlefield, but also in people's hearts.

Any creature has an instinct to protect itself, and when this instinct is activated to the maximum under certain conditions, their ability to camouflage will also proliferate. Beneath the seemingly sunny smile, there may be a grief that you will never understand.

For the person concerned, behind the smile you see is the despair of thinking that you are hopeless.

Tyri's attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away even in front of her own kind is the same as this kind of 'smiling depression'.

Based on the dragon's age, Tyri is not yet an adult, plus she has little contact with the outside world in Kodala all year round. At the end of the day, she's just a teenage girl.

On the surface, the experiences of early childhood and the negative thinking instilled by others did not seem to have any bad effects on her, on the contrary, it seemed to be the motivation to push her forward.

But is that really the case?

Now, the foreseeable tragic future has brought back the experiences and words that have quietly taken root in the depths of the heart, and despair and helplessness have clearly taken root.

If it was said that because of the identity of mortals and dragons, as well as the other party's duty to spy on him, he had never really faced this blue dragon girl. At this moment, Lanlos no longer felt that there was any insurmountable gap between himself and the other party. He suddenly remembered what happened to him during his terminal illness and the various patients he had met during that time.

Those who pretend to be strong with a bright smile in front of relatives and friends, but hide alone in the bed in the middle of the night to suppress the sobbing backs. Those lonely souls who pretend to be indifferent, do not inform any family members, wander alone in the corridor of silence and watch the strangers in a hurry.

That, ...... by yourself

"I don't believe in fate. Suddenly revealing a very friendly smile, Lanros gently placed his palm on the other party's shoulder under Tyri's surprised gaze, and his deep magnetic voice spread slowly like a whisper, "Trust me, I have a way!"

Stunned, I don't know if it was because I was frightened by the other party's sudden self-confidence, or because of something else, Tyri didn't evaluate and react to Lanros's actions in time, but reflexively showed a self-deprecating wry smile: "You really won't comfort people." ”

"Because it's not comfort. Shaking his head, Lanlos kept smiling, as if to confirm his confidence, and the purple light under the guardian vision also brightened because of this, "If you don't believe in yourself, then believe me, after all, it is like this now, can it be worse?"

Met the spell-built gaze of the other party, Tyri's breathing stalled for a very short time, and then quickly returned to normal. As if worried that the other party would notice her inexplicable mood swings, the elf girl lowered her head slightly: "That's what I said." ”

"Well, I just want you to promise one thing?"

"What?"

"From now on, don't say 'why'. ”

"For ......"

"Hmm~"

Tyri had just spoken, when she was interrupted by Lanlos with a playful expression, looking at the other party's relieved expression for no apparent reason, she was helpless, but also deeply puzzled. At the same time, an inexplicable emotion welled up in the bottom of my heart, it seemed, hope?

From a mortal? What are you kidding......

As if sensing something, Tyri silently let go of the necklace and pressed her palm to her chest.
