"I've imagined what life a dragon like yours would live. Siegel put down the cake, turned to the direction of the dripping water and said, "Don't hide, I know you're invisible." ”

Modisti revealed, her huge silver-gray body lying on a pile of treasures. Its wings folded, its tail coiled behind it, its shriveled belly pressed against its priceless bed. Two heterochromatic pupils stared at the basket beside Siegel, saliva spilling out of the neat gaps in his teeth, falling on the gold and silver with a ticking sound. Even saliva is quite hot, not hot enough to melt gold and silver, but it is enough to make them glow brightly.

Siegel was pretty sure he was standing where the dragon was prostrating, but he didn't touch the massive size. When he used his wand to direct the gems, he also consciously swept the entire nest to check if there were any invisible objects, but he found nothing. What kind of spell did Modesty use to evade Siegel's detection?

"Would you like something to eat? I think you're hungry. ”

"I'd love to eat the contents of your basket, it smells good. The dragon craned its neck and slid down from the top of the treasure pile, but turned into a human form before landing on the ground. Madesty's skin was pale in the light of the Eternal Flame, like a woman recovering from a serious illness. She walked barefoot to the basket, crouched down, and stared at the cake in the basket. Although anyone could see her longing, the dragon girl did not reach out.

Siegel fully understood what she was doing and knew that her guess was not wrong. Modisty is a dragon who wants to overcome her physical impulses and push her magical powers to the limit. He watched quietly. Suddenly I felt that what I was doing was a little cruel. This dragon may not be able to understand the world. But what is it to seduce her with food? It is like bullying a child with wisdom, even though the child can easily burn down castles and wipe out armies.

The mage bowed his head. Gently said to Modistie, "I'm sorry. ”

The dragon girl still maintained a squatting position, but tilted her head to look at Siegel: "Why do you say sorry, is it because you did something wrong?"

"Yes. Siegel admitted: "I want to trap you with food." ”

"Really?" said Modisti, who did not seem surprised, "you were the first to tempt me with a cake, and the first to dare to admit it to me." ”

"Has anyone else been?" asked Siegel curiously.

"Of course, isn't it every human dream to kill dragons and rob them of their treasures?" said Modisti, "but don't blame them, after all, most dragons' treasures are obtained in the same way." ”

It's a loop that can't be solved, Siegel thought. "Can you tell me why you're no longer eating?"

"Oh. I need to be strong enough to leave this world. Modisty didn't seem to have any sense of secrecy about the subject, and when she thought of it, she said, "I want to go to my father." ”

"An ancient platinum dragon?" Siegel asked.

"No, it's a black dragon. Modesti's reply surprised the mage, "My father lives in a flying castle and travels back and forth between different worlds. But I don't know why he left me in this world. Although he gave me a lot of good things and let the dragons of this world take care of me, I still miss him very much. ”

"I know that there are several people in the Mage Guild who are able to open passages to other worlds, why don't you go to them?"

"I tried. "They can't do it, they want to capture me with their oaths," said Modisti. The most infuriating thing is that they don't admit it, so I burned them to death. ”

Good thing I admit it. Siegel thought to himself, sweating and rejoicing. It seems that you have to be very honest with this dragon, otherwise being burned to ashes by the flames is the only end.

"So you're going to be hungry all the time?" Siegel asked, "Survive entirely by absorbing elemental energy?"

"yes. Modisty stood up, clenched her fists and said, "That's the only way I can think of." I asked the Holy Dragon Longkraga a long time ago, he was the strongest dragon in this world, but according to his magical ability, he could not reach the strength to break through my father's world. According to him, there is only one line missing. So I'm going to be more solid in terms of spells, and every scale, every tooth, is filled with the purest elemental power. So the food you brought me was tempting, but I can't eat it right now. After the dragon girl finished speaking, she looked at it reluctantly, swallowed her saliva, and then asked, "What is this thing called?"

"Honey cake. Siegel replied.

Modette nodded solemnly and said, "I remember." Later, let my dad find me something to eat. ”

Siegel was sad and just wanted to pull his hair. He began to understand why the dragons would use Modesty's Mt. Santa to perfunctory the dragon's explanation, because it was indeed the most difficult danger for Siegel. It's not just the mages who study the dragons, the dragons are certainly studying the mages as well. There are two kinds of beings in the world that can completely restrain a mage: stronger than the mage and the mage's own conscience.

Evil mages will fail under the power of the Platinum Dragon, and it is believed that the dragon, which is all condensed with elemental energy, will be extremely powerful in its restraint of magic. And the compassion of a good mage will make the dragon invincible. The only thought on Siegel's mind now is to help her, to help the poor dragon girl, who is also an orphan.

Although his intellect clearly told him that the word "pitiful" could be removed. Even when she doesn't eat or drink, she's a mighty dragon.

The mage suddenly had an idea, and said, "The only food you need is the elements, right?

Modisty nodded: "If you can absorb the four elements of earth, water, wind and fire in a balanced manner, it is the most ideal situation, but you can't usually ask for that luxury." ”

"I've got something here that might help you. Siegel opened the space bag and took out the magic weapon core of the rune element guard from inside. As soon as it leaves the enclosed space, it begins to absorb the surrounding earth elemental energy on its own. He handed it to Modesti and placed it in the palm of her pale hand.

"Look. This magic item can attract elemental energy. Maybe it can help you. ”

The dragon maiden carefully felt the energy coming from the palm of her hand. Then he stretched out his tongue and licked the rune magic rod vigorously, swallowing all the earth elemental power attached to the surface. Then she took a deep breath, her eyes seemed to light up suddenly, and she looked at Siegel with a bright eye: "What a pure earth element, much better than what I usually absorb." Is this a gift from you?"

"That's right. Siegel smiled and said, "I'll be happy to help you, too." ”

"Then I'll take it. Modisty replied, "But that doesn't mean you can take anything from me." ”

Siegel shook his head and replied, "If your father had left you any of these treasures, I would never have taken any of them." But can you borrow these two spell books?"

"Don't break it, I'll treat you as a trustworthy friend. Modisty licked another bite of the rune wand. Seems to like its ability to attract earth elements constantly.

"Uh......" Siegel thought for a moment and said, "If I can make you a rune artifact of the four elements, can you do me a favor?"

The dragon girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "I need to accumulate energy, so I won't do anything too tiring. ”

Siegel smiled, he patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'm measured." ”

Janet had been standing at the foot of Mount St. Saint-Thur waiting for Siegel, and was relieved to see him come back. Still carrying the basket in his hand, the mage flew to Janet's side, and then took out the honey cake and shared it with her. From Siegel's eyebrows, there was a sign of happiness, as if something remarkable had been accomplished.

"Is it all settled?" asked Janet, "Will Modisty help us?"

"She will. Siegel said, "I understand one thing. The real power is hidden in helping each other, which is more powerful than being obtained by deception and robbery. ”

"How?" said Janet, "will she help you defend Myr?"

"It's better than that. Janet replied, "We can be friends with her." ”

Although a mage lord. But Siegel was not qualified to be a lord, he grew up in the sea, and he didn't know much about the land, so farming, farming, harvesting, and brewing were not his areas of expertise. But he was indeed a very perceptive mage, and he showed great talent in learning spells. And as the only person on the entire road who has mastered both runes and mage spells, Siegel is able to have more means and tools than other spellcasters. After returning to Myr, he began to concentrate on transforming his elemental rune guards. Just like the dwarven rune master said, if the other three elements form a corresponding rune guard, the impact on this world is immeasurable.

This matter needs to be kept secret, not even to the dwarven allies. In order to prevent detection by prophetic spells, Siegel did not create a finished product, but modified the spell. The new artifact runes can indeed absorb the corresponding elements, but they cannot condense into elemental bodies. It's like a pool that is flooding and leaking, constantly consuming the durability of the runes, and doing useless work forever.

But for Modesti, it's useful. After more than a month of work, Siegel finally made four rune artifacts and designed them to look like lollipops. To accommodate the heat in the dragon's mouth and the hard fangs, he added enchantments that protect against fire and puncture damage. When he came to the Dragon's Lair again, he had these four gifts with him in his hand.

Modisty looked very happy, holding four "lollipops" in her hand and "licking" them from time to time. Siegel took the opportunity to make his request, hoping that the dragon would visit the city of Myr at the right time to show his strength so that the ill-intentioned people could dispel their bad intentions.

"There's nothing wrong with that, it doesn't take much energy. Modisty said, "The elemental rod you brought me is very good, and the speed at which I absorb energy has increased a lot. Can you do more for me?"

"It's a pity that rune cores of the same kind interfere with each other. Siegel said, "If you place them far away, that's fine." But you have to keep flying around, and I'm afraid you're going to get into trouble. All I can say is that as a mage, I can continue to improve this spell in the future and help you in this way. ”

Modisty blinked, finally smiled, and said, "That's it!" (To be continued......)
