"What's going on, why can't there be any way to stop the bleeding, and if it goes on like this, Lal will die?!"

Illuminated by the flickering flames on the wall beside her, Rafael's roar echoed through the dungeon like the breath of a dragon, causing the doctors of all races who listened to her words to bow their heads in disgrace, and in front of the strange carriage in the huge cavern where Rafael lived, the bloodied Lal lay dying on the cloth-made bed.

Her blue scales kept falling off, and hot blood poured out from her flesh and blood that had been shattered by the fierce artillery fire, soaking the cloth laid below, and the light of herbs and several circles of precious healing magic on her body also flickered in it, but none of the healing magic they could get exceeded the five rings, and the healing magic that humans brought to the southern continent by themselves was not enough, let alone be able to capture it.

But Ral was hit head-on by Schwali's artillery fire, and was close to death when he was brought back, and Rafael had all tried their tribes' methods of pressing the bottom of the box, but still couldn't heal her...

"Lord Rafael, but Hill has just ridden out of Sunset Valley, preparing to go to the Treant tribe of the Northern Forest to ask for the help of their High Priest..."

Emre, the bat leader behind him, took a few steps closer and whispered to Rafael, who was sitting beside Ral's bed.

"Tree people? They were three days away, and they couldn't ride horses, and even if their high priest wanted to come, Ral wouldn't be able to last that long..."

The hot horns on Rafael's head grew brighter, and she looked down at Ral on the bed panting with all her might, and hot tears fell from under her turquoise eyes.

Ral is very young, not even an adult, although she has been doing a good job in following her to establish the new dragon court, but she shouldn't have let her follow the other dragons to inform the sheep race to retreat today, if it wasn't for her own instructions, she wouldn't...

Next to the bed, Laar's mother, a dark blue dragon, also hid her face and couldn't bear to look at the tragic appearance of her child being injured by the merciless artillery fire, she just kept sobbing, but the words spoken to Rafael maintained a fragile calm under her reluctant support, she lowered her head and held Rafael's trembling shoulders, and said with tears in her eyes,

"Rafael... It's not your fault, Ral has always wanted to help you, even if it's just a simple thing, and it's her honor to give her the task, and she was happy last night. The only one to blame is the human fire, the dragons who went with them were also injured, and the sheep people who were attacked by the humans died a lot, and there is nothing special about Lal as one of them, you have done your best, Rafael..."

The dragon's tail behind Rafael drooped limply to the ground, and she looked down at Ral on the bed who was dying of life, the anger that had been transformed into powerlessness rose like a flame, but her sanity kept reminding her that now was not the time to avenge Ral and his fellow subhumans who had died as a result of the human invasion.

Sometimes, the greatest pain of intelligent beings is the contradiction between sensibility and reason, or between sensibility and reality, the kind of powerless and unchangeable torment that has long plagued every life that can't sleep at night and can't stop crying...

Even if Rafael was the Dragon Queen, the Chosen Destroyer of Worlds, and a powerful leader, she could do nothing about it.

Feeling the silence of the queen, everyone present lowered their heads, the patriarch and his wife of the bat species, Mill who reunited with her husband, Laar's mother, the guard Fasher and the doctors of various tribes, the guards...

Just when the atmosphere was becoming more and more deadly and silent, there was a sudden sound of dense running and shouting on the road above the cave.

"Lord Rafael, I've found a doctor who can save Ral! Lord Rafael! ”

The silent Rafael hurriedly turned his head, and all the people present were the same, but he saw that on the road above, but Hill was pulling a subhuman in a strange fabric to rush towards this side, followed by the brain demon Ke Lili who was in charge of translation.

Rao was in the experience of Emre, the leader of the bat race, and he had never seen the subhuman who followed him, and they all looked at the strange subhuman behind him in surprise, and the constant glances made Jasmine a little embarrassed, and she waved her hand at everyone present in embarrassment, but received no response.

"What's the matter, but Ciel, didn't you go to the Treant Tribe, why did you bring this..."

Fasher stepped forward with a frown, first glancing at Jasmine behind Kohir before whispering to Kohir.

"It's a long story, this is the subhuman species from the ocean that Corelli and the others met on their way out to hunt down the traitor yesterday, it seems to be some kind of whale species, Miss Jasmine... She said she could cure Ral, so that's why..."

"A subhuman race from the ocean, or someone who doesn't know the bottom outside of the Dragon Court, what the hell are you thinking?"

"But... Even if they rushed to the Treant tribe as quickly as possible, not to mention whether they had any way to deal with such a serious injury, even if they were, the time to go back and forth would not be enough at all. ”

"You!"

At this moment, Rafael, who was sitting next to the crowd, suddenly raised his hand, and the invisible pressure suddenly covered the entire cave, making the arguing Kosher and Fahir suddenly quiet down, and retreated to both sides of the road, revealing Jasmine who was standing behind them quite restrained.

Jasmine pursed her lips, her big blue eyes looked forward very curiously, but suddenly she saw a beautiful woman with only one horn on her head and two horns completely different from those of other dragon races, she was quite tall, much taller than Jasmine, based on the difference in terrain, she looked at Jasmine calmly.

This dragon man suddenly caught Jasmine's eyeballs as soon as she appeared, she had a beautiful posture of peerless beauty, but the faintly tearful turquoise eyes made her strong give birth to a crack, making her image a lot closer at once.

"You... Can you help me save Ral? ”

Rafael's opening made Jasmine wake up from her scrutiny, she nodded quickly, then shook her head, and said with some embarrassment,

"Can... Can I take a look at the patient first? ”

“......”

Rafael hesitated for a second, then turned sideways to get out of the way, revealing the fragile life lying on the bed covered in blood, Jasmine bowed her head and said "thank you", and then hurriedly walked to Lal's bedside and observed her situation,

"There are fragments of human projectiles in her body, it's good that I'm here now, otherwise she might not survive this evening, I'll help her stop the bleeding and rejuvenate first, and then I'll take out the fragments in her body... I needed two treatments, one for now and one for the debris to be removed at night. ”

Jasmine's restraint was immediately put away after seeing the condition of Lal in front of her, her azure eyes flashed intently over the wound on Lal's body, and then, she gently put her finger on Lal's body, and as the blessing light that belonged to her alone lit up, a pure life force was transmitted into Lal's body.

The magical power worked the moment she entered Ral's body, and with the healing magic and herbs used by doctors of other races, the blood that continued to flow from Ral's body stopped at this moment, and her breathing as if she was struggling instantly became steady and powerful, and the miraculous power shocked everyone present.

The dying Ral has indeed come back to life before their eyes, and it is up to this strange subhuman from the ocean to snatch her back from the clutches of death...

"Phew, this time the treatment is almost good, and then in the evening..."

Jasmine exhaled and stood up, since she had mastered the curse, this level of life force healing was nothing, it only made her feel a little tired, and she would not be dead or alive as before.

But what Jasmine didn't expect was that Rafael, who had just stood up and was beside her, suddenly hugged her in her arms, this excessive behavior made Jasmine stunned in place, but when she felt that the other party's hot body was trembling slightly, and kept saying "thank you" to herself, Jasmine smiled and patted her back,

"It's okay, this is what I should do, as a believer in Ramastia, I cherish the preciousness of every part of my life."

Rafael let go of Jasmine, although she was a little puzzled about what the so-called "Ramastia" was, she still quickly turned back to the doctors behind her and said,

"Please check on Lal again, please, I'm going to make sure she's out of danger."

"It's... Ah, it's amazing, although the injuries on Ral's body have not healed yet, but his physical signs are now very stable, and there is no major problem, but we can't be sure that there are still projectiles in the body that Miss Jasmine said..."

Rafael breathed a sigh of relief, looked back at Jasmine in front of him and commanded others,

"Miss Jasmine, please continue to help Ral through this difficult time in the evening, if you have any requests, you can also make it now, and I will do my best to satisfy you..."

Jasmine hurriedly waved her hand and smiled at Rafael,

"Where, I didn't save my life for anything in return, and seeing her live again is the best reward for me. I'll be ready here, and if I can, ask the queen to prepare for me the night's meal and tools, ah, flames and sharp knives..."

Looking at the calm Jasmine in front of her, Rafael, who was quite flustered and fragile just now, also calmed down again, for some reason, she always felt that the person in front of her could be trusted, it was the first time they met, but the other party gave her a sense of intimacy, as if the other party had some kind of inexplicable connection with herself...

But she just trusted Jasmine and turned her head to let her men take care of preparing the items Jasmine needed, while she herself stayed here and prepared the next surgery with Jasmine.

......

......

"Bell..."

At night, the crisp sound of shrapnel clashing continued to sound in the cave, and the hour-long operation finally came to an end.

And now, there are only a few people left in this cave who are close to Lal and Rafael, but Hilfarsher, Mill and Raal's mother, and the interpreter Corli, they all looked intently at Jasmine, who was sitting on the edge of the bed and kept using the knife, and in her dexterous movements, the shrapnel remaining in Ral's body was stripped off one by one, which also symbolized that Ral was completely out of danger.

"It's done, guys."

Jasmine breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the blood on her hands, put the blade down, and then injected a pure life force into Ral's body, helping the wound in her body to heal better,

"It's good that she is unconscious, otherwise she will be in unbearable pain without anesthesia here, but now she is fine, she is fine, it is estimated that she will be fine in a few weeks."

Rafael and everyone behind her breathed a sigh of relief, and Rafael stepped forward to confirm Lal's snort, and after confirming that her breathing had become stable, she turned back to the dragonmen behind her who had been here all day and said,

"Alright, Ral is fine, thanks to Miss Jasmine from the ocean... Lal will stay with me for now, and you all go back to rest, I want to talk to Miss Jasmine. ”

"Yes, Lord Rafael."

Even Ral's mother chose to leave after taking another look at Ral, and after Keshir and Fasher also left, Corelli glanced at Jasmine and Rafael with a dumb smile and said,

"If I weren't there, you wouldn't understand the language she spoke, for I had never heard her before."

Jasmine, who was just smiling and about to talk to Rafael, also patted her head with hindsight and muttered quietly,

"Oh no, forget that this is the Southern Continent, how can anyone speak the language of the undersea, and I can only speak Nari, if only Lord Ramastia could teach me the language used in the Southern Continent..."

Rafael next to her was a little surprised, and she suddenly said to Jasmine in Nari,

"Do you speak Nari?"

"Oops, hey, I... I will. No... No, why would Miss Rafael too..."

Rafael was slightly stunned, and then showed a look of reminiscence,

"That's a long story."

However, when Corelli saw that they could converse in Nari, she nodded, and left the cave where Rafael lived to go to rest, and as the last Corelli left, the only people who were still awake were Rafael and Jasmine.

Rafael stretched out his finger and pointed to the seat on the ground next to him, and invited Jasmine,

"Sit down, the current conditions of the Long Court are still very simple, I hope you don't mind... By the way, do you want to drink? ”

"Ah, no, no, no, I won't."

Jasmine waved her hand, she had never tried this kind of thing since she was a child, there was no wine in the sea and she didn't need it, and she rarely attended the students' drinking parties when she was Nari, it is said that Gengo had tried it, but she didn't like the taste very much.

It was in this prevarication that Jasmine suddenly caught a glimpse of a carriage with obvious human features standing behind Rafael, and it looked like the standard was still from the Nari style, which seemed to explain why the Dragon Queen was able to speak the Nari language very proficiently... Could it be that she was once acquainted with some Nari man?

Rafael unscrewed a jar of wine with a strong aroma, and under Jasmine's frightened gaze, Rafael swallowed the whole jar of wine as if she were drinking water, and most importantly, her face did not change at all as if she was nothing...

Is this how dragons can drink?

"I'm sorry, I haven't drunk in a long time, just today... Before, because of Lahr's matter, you asked you to help when you first came, which made me a little unhappy. I've heard that you helped Ke Lili and the others catch the traitor, and although there are some surprises, I still thank you very much for your help... By the way, I forgot to ask, you also know Nali, do you say, have you ever been to Nari? ”

Even Rafael herself didn't notice it, and her tone showed some hope uncontrollably, but Jasmine became a little nervous after hearing this, because she suddenly thought that the Dragon Court in front of her was a subhuman organization that rose up against human colonization, and the vanguard of colonization was Nari... Heck, would she think she's a spy for humanity?!

Thinking of Ramastia's reminder before, Jasmine hurriedly waved her hand and explained,

"That's... Although I had been to Nari, I had not been there for a long time, and I did not know the people there, so I was relieved. ”

Rafael was a little disappointed when she heard this, she looked at the torch on the wall for a long time and did not speak, and only after a long time did she smile and say,

"It's okay, I'm just a little bit interested in a person's news, and it has nothing to do with whether you've been to Nari or not... Is it okay for me to call you Jasmine? ”

"Hey, you can... So, can I call you Rafael too? ”

"Absolutely. So, Jasmine, what did you come to the Southern Continent for? ”

After hearing this, Jasmine immediately said without thinking,

"In order to be stronger, I... There's a guy who really wants to protect, but I don't have enough strength to protect him right now, so... That's why I left the ocean and came to the Southern Continent to find trials, hoping to become stronger during the long journey, so that I can..."

Jasmine's words made Rafael slightly stunned, because at this moment, she heard the other party's words and had a rather sad feeling, which made her empathize with it all of a sudden.

After all, Rafael's purpose is to allow the sub-races of the southern continent who have been bullied by humans to live on an equal footing, and no longer be infected by the artillery fire that has infected... And back to herself, she tried so hard, of course, so that one day she could stand by that man's side as equals, and let him declare his existence to the world.

However, she could only bury this thought deep in her heart, and during the days of separation from Fisher, no one knew the true identity of Rafael's husband except for the few sub-people who had a relationship with her previous journey, they only knew that their dragon queen had a suitable partner who would not change, but no one had ever seen the true body of that partner.

Some people even began to suspect that the Dragon Queen's husband had died during the human invasion of the Dragonman tribe, which is why she would resist the invasion with such a fierce will.

Rafael can't tell anyone that his suitable partner is a human, now is a very sensitive time, and when all the sub-people's sense of rebellion is about to awaken, the queen of his own family is actually a human they resent, this news will be devastating for the new dragon court.

So, of course, she wouldn't tell Jasmine the details of her husband, but when she heard the other party's words, she was a little sad, and she took another sip of wine, trying to wash away the bitterness in her heart with that faint pungency, but unfortunately, the dragons are very tolerant to alcohol, which also means that they rarely get drunk.

Jasmine noticed Rafael's expression, and she asked with concern,

"What's the matter, Rafael... You're like, sad. ”

“... Well, one thing, mainly, I haven't seen my husband in a long time, so I miss him a lot now. ”

Jasmine also pursed her lips after hearing this, she hadn't seen Teacher Fisher for a long time, he was still being chased by His Royal Highness Yin Lizabeth when they were separated, and he left him like this, and he didn't know if he was doing well now, when she thought that Fisher was now in a painful displacement, Jasmine wanted to become stronger more and more.

"Rafael, I know... It's been a long time since I've seen the person I miss, and while I don't know what it's like to have a husband, I do know the urge to be strong for him, and if one day I had to choose a husband, I would definitely choose him. This sense of destiny leads to the pain of separation, I understand. ”

Jasmine's words injected great courage into Rafael, as if two lonely souls had found a similar goal at this moment, and the feeling of mutual understanding made Rafael feel a lot better, she just raised her head, suddenly looked at Jasmine and said,

"Jasmine, I'm a little selfish when I say it now, but what I'm saying is sincere... Can I invite you to join the Dragon Court on my own behalf? I'm not sure if you'll be able to accomplish your goals by staying here, but I'm doing my best to help you, even if it's for your own purposes similar to mine... But such a request is not mandatory, and if one day you have to leave, or if I fail and die, you can leave at any time. ”

Jasmine held her breath a little nervously, but when she saw Rafael's determined emerald green eyes, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and stretched out her hand to Rafael.

"Rafael also has such a goal, doesn't it, since we have similar goals, although for different people, I am also willing to help you achieve your wishes... I'm willing to help you, if only so that you can see your husband sooner. ”

Rafael happily squeezed Jasmine's hand, and the hot body temperature passed down their touching palms, as if to make them feel refreshed.

"It's also for you to become stronger as soon as possible and protect the people you want to protect."

"Hmm!"

Two fiery souls, intimately connected in this not-so-luxurious cave, burst out with dazzling light, making the viewer feel the urge to cry, even in any story, such a scene is talked about...

The premise, of course, is that you have no idea that the two of them are pursuing the same person.

Unfortunately, La Mastia, who watched the whole process on the side, is such an existence, even if she is as powerful as her, at this moment there is a feeling that she can't stand it, if she can speak at this time, what she says must be,

"Fisher, you ask for your own blessings."
