15. So-called Transactions
"Ahhh
Rafael struck Fisher with a scorching steam, the red dragon's tail streaked across the sky like lightning in midair, and the ferocity of the dragon-man race was completely aroused at this moment.
As she said before, the dragon race is a natural warrior, and that's not false.
But the gentleman at the end of her attack did not panic in the slightest, but glanced at the scattered crowd around her, and after making sure that they had distanced themselves somewhat, his body sank sharply, and the staff he held in his left hand was raised, just right against her blade-like claws.
"Tear up!"
The flames exploded above the cane, and as her claws sliced along the cane to herself, Fisher slammed a punch into Rafael's lower abdomen, causing the horrific cutting action to stop abruptly and her entire body flying backwards with inertia.
But Fisher gently grabbed her arm and dragged her back at the moment when the other party was about to fly out, turning around and throwing her to the ground.
"Ahem..."
Rafael lowered her head and covered her mouth and coughed several times, but Fisher did not show mercy and hit her stomach. The pain, the feeling of tearing on the wound that had not yet healed, the grievance and anger in her heart seemed to burn, and her scales stood still.
Fisher glanced at her state, and waved his hand to keep the curious crowd away from him, after all, the little dragon's temper in front of him had not completely dissipated.
After waiting for the rest of the crowd to take a few steps back, Fisher looked down and met Rafael's angry turquoise eyes, but there was no emotion in his eyes, or at all, in Rafael's current condition.
In the next second, her tail was slightly cocked, and her mouth opened up a certain amount of space, she took a deep breath, and as her breath fell, the red scales on her body lit up a little, making Fisher can't help but look sideways.
"Bang!!"
As the light intensified, her body leaped to her feet and slammed her fist into Fisher's face, only to be unexpectedly blocked by Fisher's staff. Unlike before, this time Rafael's attack was terrifyingly powerful, and even the staff itself lit up with a circle of magic crests, which Fisher made to strengthen the staff.
But at that time, it was engraved to prevent an even more terrifying attack, but I didn't expect it to be punched out by Rafael.
Fisher felt the tremendous force of his cane, and after taking a step backwards, he gently tilted his cane to remove the dragon-like force.
The dragon race seems to have the means to temporarily improve its physical fitness, just like Rafael now, I saw her scales visible to the naked eye, but I don't know if it was because Rafael was not yet fully adult, the light was very faint, more like the reflection of the sun on her body.
If Fisher hadn't felt the tremendous power himself, he wouldn't have felt the gap.
While fighting Rafael, Fisher is still deepening his research on the dragon race. After this assassination, he will be able to unlock the sub-human mother to complete the manual with more content about the dragon race.
The thoughts in his mind are non-stop, and the actions of Fisher in reality are also constant.
After waiting to dodge sideways, Fisher picked up his staff and struck Rafael's body, Rafael's punch was too forceful, causing him to fall forward after being disempowered.
She had already seen Fisher's movements when she looked back, but just as she wanted to fight back, she felt a pain in her arm, where Fisher had bandaged her.
Wounds.. Is it cracked?
No sooner had she thought than Fisher's cane slammed into her back with the sound of the wind.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”
"Uhhhhhh
Fisher didn't use a lot of force, more like an elementary school teacher slapping a student's palm with a whip. The three sticks hit her on the back, hips, and tail, leaving her lying on the ground covered in muddy water in agony.
"Ahem, cough, cough..."
The pain in her lower abdomen, which had been punched by Fisher, began to hurt again, and the pain in her calf and left hand became more intense, making her whole body sore and difficult to control, but even so, she struggled to stand up.
Until Fisher's faint voice beside him came,
"Think for yourself, is this assassination a success or a failure?"
"Hahahaha, good fight, this kind of stupid dragon man slave should be..."
The slave hunter next to him saw the tragic situation of Rafael, and quickly picked up his body, which had been frightened by the battle just now, and laughed at Rafael who was lying on the ground, as if he was the one who had beaten Rafael just now.
But suddenly, he saw the ice cave look in Fisher's eyes as he stared at him
“....”
"Buzz!!"
Rafael gritted his teeth and struggled to stand up, but saw that Fisher's staff next to him suddenly lit up with a dark white brilliance, and before all the magic crests lit up, Fisher flicked his staff lightly, causing the light on the edge of the staff to turn into a blade of light faster than the sound and brushed the edge of the hunter's cheek.
The blade of light vibrated like a bee, slicing across his face like chopping melons and vegetables, and the shotgun and baggage behind him were all sliced by that magic in an instant.
And when the hunter reacted, he only felt that the whole right side of his face was as stiff as if he had been injected with ten thousand injections of anesthetic, and he reached out tremblingly and reached out, only to feel the crimson blood from the skin that he didn't feel.
The blade of light cut a wound in his face, but it made him think that he had been killed by the man.
"Don't—" The slave trader's legs went limp, and he fell back on his shotgun, which had been broken in two, but before he could feel the pain, he cried out in panic and begged for mercy, "Don't kill me... Don't kill me... Don't kill me... Please..."
Fisher put his cane down expressionlessly, ignoring the hunter, his voice as cold as iron,
"Think for yourself, is this assassination a success or a failure?"
He was talking to Rafael, repeating what he had said.
Rafael stared blankly at the magically cut in two walls, shotguns, and luggage, and even the stone bricks of the buildings next to the street had been cut open, but there was no trace of it, enough to see the lethal power of the magic.
She opened her mouth, then quickly lowered her head again, gritting her teeth but not saying a word.
Rafael's body hurt terribly, but the blow to her heart made her even more uncomfortable.
"I... I lost..."
Her crying voice was as subtle as a little elf outside the wilderness, but Fisher heard it.
I don't know what the human's expression was, Rafael only felt uncomfortable and sad, because the people were helpless to be captured, because there was no place to satisfy anger and only the pain that burned inside, as if it was about to burn her heart and lungs through.
The strength of this human man made her suddenly suspect that not only could she not save the captured fellow Dragonman, but even Lal and the others themselves could not save her....
"Are you still walking?"
“....”
Without replying to Fisher, Rafael hung his head, and even his tail dangling in the mire remained motionless, as if he had been badly struck.
"It's..."
With this simple sentence, a pair of large powerful hands suddenly put on Rafael's waist and hugged her whole dragon. The muddy water that had been on her clothes also fell down the human man's clean black suit, ticking and ticking behind obvious marks.
Rafael's gritted teeth appeared in Fisher's eyes, and the emerald green eyes flowed with steam teardrops, like hot springs in a mountain stream.
It turns out that dragonmen also cry.
Fisher thought so.
Just as Rafael was feeling embarrassed, Fisher reached out and put the hat on her head, just enough to cover her teardrop-covered face.
The vision fell into darkness, only Fisher's voice was still clear,
"Stupid... The wound was not healed because of anger and attacked me, wasting not only the wound I bandaged you, but also the opportunity to assassinate me... If the so-called dragon warrior is just a little dragon that dances with emotions, then it seems that you are not wronged at all when you are caught..."
Nasty humans...
Nasty humans...
Rafael's fingers gripped Fisher's suit, and she tried to cut his chest with her claws, only to find that even the slightest movement was a luxury.
Because the skin hidden under the clothes, the burning blood was flowing down through the bandage, and the wound inside had been completely cracked, probably even worse because of the battle just now.
So, she can't help him for the time being... In the arms, kill this human.
"You want to save that dragon race, but you can't do anything about it, the only way to save him is me, and you still refuse to open your mouth to me... Heh..."
"Why did you help me save him?"
Rafael finally remembered to refute and spoke, but there was always a little crying in his words.
"Makes sense, I'm not a philanthropist either, after all. But you seem to be ignoring the fact that you still have a little capital to exchange with me, such as the opportunity to assassinate me... If you used up an assassination opportunity to trade with me, maybe I would say yes? ”
“....”
In his arms, Rafael seemed to sense that Fisher was walking in the direction of the carriage, and she pursed her lips as if struggling, as if to speak to this human, with whom communication was a very difficult thing.
His footsteps didn't stop, each step hitting Rafael's chest like a talisman, and the next second, her claws grabbed Fisher's clothes, and Fisher's footsteps stopped with her movements.
Even though her face was obscured by Fisher's hat, she still seemed to feel very embarrassed, so she subconsciously turned her face towards Fisher's arms, not facing Fisher.
"And you.. Exchange.. Save that child..."
"An assassination chance?"
"Hmm.."
"If you voluntarily accept the punishment, you will have to accept the punishment twice, and there are still two chances to assassinate me, do you think about it?"
The man spoke like a demon, so that Rafael's head was tilted more into his bosom than to speak to him head-on.
"Hmm..."
She said.
"Deal."
The next second, the hat was removed, and the light re-entered her line of sight, in front of the cage where the subhumans were being held.
It turned out that he didn't walk back...
Rafael suddenly thought.
And Fisher looked at the slave trader who was sitting on the ground and was frightened, and said,
"I'm going to buy that dragon race, how much does it cost?"
"Ahh Yes! That one! Gratis! Gratis! You take it, you take it! ”
When the slave trader saw the death-like creature approaching, he was so frightened that he dared to bargain and wanted to kneel down and admit his mistake.
Fisher nodded slightly, and the sound of carriages behind him was heard, and the soldiers in the city also received the news of the crime, and lined up with guns to surround the place.
"Sir, please don't move for a while, this is the Keken City Security Force. You are suspected of disturbing the peace, under the laws of Nari and the laws of Kerken City..."
The chatter and cacophony of many humans behind him sounded, and Rafael's body and mind seemed to return, looking at the young dragon race in a cage with a somewhat blank look.
Even she didn't expect that this would save the child...
The pain in her body slowed her mind, so of course she didn't realize it, her self-conceived tail was wrapped around Fisher's waist again, and the tail wagged comfortably at the end a few times, and then there was no more movement.
