Chapter 3: The Walnut Girl
Having made up his mind, Rolda walked cautiously out of the cavern.
As a legendary creature, the dragon was born with a lot of incredible power, and although Rolda has no time to regain control now, it can still be used normally like basic perception.
For now, Rolda can clearly perceive the scent of all creatures within 50 zhang of his body, and he can also distinguish the smell in the air through his sense of smell.
Amazed by the capabilities of the dragon's body, Rolda probed and walked out.
Before arriving at the cave, Rolda first sensed it, and then stared at the dragon's eye through the heavily drooping vines, carefully scanning the outside world.
After noticing that there were no humanoids, he slammed his head into the vines and stepped out of the cave.
The Hemlock Forest is on the northern side of the continent, a mid-mountain strip that stretches down from the southern side of the Noble Endless Mountains, which straddle the two northern empires.
Only by heading north into the Noble Mountains from here can they truly get out of the crisis, after all, the Imperial Knights will definitely not blindly enter the endless mountains, which will undoubtedly kill them.
"Looks like the Imperial knights are chasing after the other two baby dragons."
Rolda thought so, but did not let his guard down, although knights are not like mages who can hide their own aura, but no one can say what other means of exploration the imperial knights have, now taking advantage of the lack of knights around, it is most important to hurry north.
Silently worried about his brother and sister in his heart, Rolda turned around and walked towards the dense forest on the left with a flick of his tail.
But as soon as he started, in the thick bushes in front of him, a girl suddenly appeared and jumped out.
Light black armor, high-top leather boots, long walnut hair tied into a ponytail, and a staff held in both hands with emeralds at the top.
A real Master.
"Mr. Dragon, please stop!"
A trilling but clear voice came out of the mouth of the magician girl.
Looking at the girl who suddenly stood in front of him, Rolda felt bad in her heart.
In the memories of the fusion, the mages have gone after the injured adult dragons, and only the Imperial Knights remain here.
But why did a girl with a staff suddenly appear now?
Although it looked like an inexperienced mage's apprentice, the staff that had already lit up made Rolla dare not move for a while.
So Rolla stared, waiting for the wizard girl's next move.
"Ahem."
The magician girl swallowed nervously, then whispered to Rolda very politely.
"Hello, Mr. Dragon, I want to reclaim you as my mount, is that okay?"
Rolda: ......
Want to ride me?
It's too much!
But in the face of the girl who was ready to attack, Rolda was a little helpless: he was just a wizard apprentice, and he had not mastered the witchcraft of attack or defense. And he didn't see any dragon magic from the memory of this young dragon.
There is no doubt that there is nothing I can do to counter it now.
Then let this girl ride under her?
The more Rolla thought about it, the more irritated she felt, and there seemed to be a burning anger building up in her body.
"That.. Mr. Dragon, do you agree? ”
Looking at Rolda, who didn't make any movements, the mage girl moved lightly and cautiously approached Rolda.
Agree?
Agree to a fart!
I'm a dragon now!
Rolda opened his mouth and roared at the mage girl, and the heat in his body jumped out with the roar, turning into an incomparably hot bright yellow flame, rippling through the air, and heading towards the girl at great speed.
And the girl who was quietly approaching saw Rolda suddenly exhale, as if she was frightened, and was stunned for a while.
At the same time, an urgent cry came from the sky.
"Anna! Magic Shield! ”
Awakened by this scream, the mage girl regained consciousness, hurriedly raised the staff in front of her, her lips moved slightly, and the light emerald suddenly bloomed, and white energy gushed out from the gem, instantly forming a shield, like an eggshell that enveloped the girl firmly.
Only then did the blazing flames arrive in front of him, slamming into the shield.
"Boom!" There was a loud bang.
Transparent ripples appeared in the air, shaking the surrounding trees to the ground, and a thick cloud of dust rose in an instant.
"Anna!"
The shouts rang out again from the air, and then a sudden gust of wind blew away the clouds of dust that had just risen to the treetops.
And the girl's figure is also revealed.
Looking at the unconscious girl lying on the ground with long hair scattered, Kayrin, dressed in a dark gold mage robe with intricate patterns, jumped down from the mid-air griffin with its wings flapping.
"Anna!"
Kayline came to the girl's side, looked at the girl covered in mud and dust, her face was full of worry, and then raised her staff to chant a spell, and a green energy appeared and poured into the girl's body.
Seeing the girl's breath gradually calming down, Kaylin breathed a sigh of relief.
Instantly, Kaylin turned her head sharply, staring at the young dragon lying on the ground not far away.
"Imprisoned!"
"Comatose!"
"Resuscitation is suppressed!"
"Weak!"
"Magical Chains!"
Unleashing five spells in a row, Kayreen slowly approached the young dragon.
"Already fainted?"
Looking at the young dragon motionless on the ground, Kaylin was quite surprised in her heart, although she was a master magician, but the dragon was extremely resistant to magic, and her five magic could only weaken but not make the young dragon unconscious.
"It's... Passed out before? ”
Thinking of this, Kaylin pondered for a moment, since the young dragon had passed out, there was no need to fight again.
At this moment, there was a sound in the surrounding woods, and several people shrouded in silver-black armor revealed their bodies.
"Your Majesty! We're late! Is Her Royal Highness the Princess okay? ”
Kayreen nodded to the chief knight who was guilty of the offense, and then a levitation spell led the unconscious girl back to the griffon.
The rest of the knights blew their whistles and took out their chains and came to Rolda's side.
.....
Rolda woke up again.
In front of him was a familiar meditation room, the candles still glowing yellowish, and the book "Introduction to the Occult" did not know when it had faded and fallen back into his hand.
"So... The experience just now... Is it a hallucination? ”
Rolda's brow furrowed.
"But that feeling.... It's too real. ”
Shaking her head, Rolda decided not to think about the fact that she had become a dragon.
Quite simply, whether the experience is true or not, I don't have the ability to explore the reason, and instead of doubting and guessing all the time, it is better to spend time meditating to improve my magic.
For a wizard, all mysterious events are not surprising, and being rational is what a wizard should do.
Or maybe... Can you wait and see if anything changes in the future?
Shaking her head, Rolda began to perceive the source of her magic.
The perceived situation surprised Rolda: the source of his magic power had condensed from a gaseous state to a liquid state, which meant that he had officially become a wizard, although he was only a gray-robed wizard, but... You'll finally be able to enter the Wizard's Tower.
Walking out of the meditation room, Rolda whispered into the air.
"What time is it?"
"It's the first hour and another fifths of an hourglass."
Listening to the magic machine's answer, Rolda was a little surprised: he had used it for so long?
But when I think about it, it's not surprising that I've been in a coma in the meditation room for so long.
Back in the kitchen, Rolda was ready to pour herself a cup of coffee before going to bed.
But as soon as I sat down on the sofa with a cup, the doorbell rang.
At the same time, an indifferent voice came from the transponder.
"Kirishima Investigation Office! Open the door! ”
