【Chapter 3】Cats and dragons don't want to take a bath
A little earlier.
The southernmost part of the Moon-Eclipse Empire.
In the vast coastline lies the fringe town of Yanan, where laborers work overtime to carry the remains of dead humans, and the hospitable inhabitants are all grim-faced.
The salty and wet sea breeze from the west coast blows the faces of the residents.
The light of dawn shines through the thick clouds and over the earth, making it impossible to open people's eyes.
A night of bloody fighting.
A night of screaming and wailing.
Under the bright sunshine, everything returned to calm.
The corpses were all over the ground, some mutilated, some deformed and twisted.
The clergy, dressed in blood-stained robes, prayed devotionally.
Prayer songs for reincarnation for the dead, blessings for rescue and healing for survivors, and purification and liberation for those who are deformed and deformed.
Their bodies are shrouded in a soft halo of pale gold.
Immediately after, a large amount of light gathered and turned into a wonderful human form.
The appearance of a mysterious woman wearing a gold-patterned hooded robe, revealing blonde hair and delicate facial features, further highlights the holiness and purity of this inhuman existence.
Her eyebrows lowered slightly, and her tone was weak: "May the emperor protect you." ”
Some of the residents sheltered by the light felt the pain in their bodies disappear.
They wept in gratitude, knelt on the ground, and replied, "Thank you, the princess!" ”
The princess watched as the filth of the earth was cleared, the cursed beast was destroyed, and the blasphemous moon that hung on the horizon at the same time slowly turned into a dreamy bubble, and has been gone ever since.
After a night of fighting, it pays off.
The mysterious woman, known as the princess, breathed a sigh of relief, but her whole body suddenly lost her strength, her feet went limp, and she almost fell to the ground.
"The princess!"
The busy clergy on the side hurriedly took two quick steps and helped him up.
They anxiously asked, "What's wrong with you, Your Highness Luna!" ”
Luna straightened up, looking at the worried expressions of her comrades, she shook her head and replied, "It's nothing, it's just that the mana loss is a bit too much, I can just rest a little." ”
A cold voice rang out.
"Don't talk about that. Are the statistics out? ”
More than her own body, the princess Luna was more worried about what happened last night.
"There's news."
A sturdy, heavily armed paladin rode a fiery horse at the entrance of the town.
He stopped firmly in front of the crowd, dismounted, and came running quickly.
The metal armor collided with each other with a crisp sound.
The sweaty paladin got down on one knee and reported to the princess about the situation in the other towns.
"According to preliminary statistics, this [Blasphemous Month] has eroded the two secondary core cities and more than a dozen small towns around them. Three of these towns were directly attacked by the Cursed Beast, and the casualties are conservatively estimated at more than 10,000 people......"
The paladin's tone became more and more depressed, and along the way, he saw with his own eyes a mountain of corpses, a sea of blood, and ruins.
Silence and silence rippled among the clergy, who tried their best, yet there were still so many casualties.
Although they knew that the beast tide composed of the cursed beasts was a natural disaster, and human power could not be violated.
However, the casualties of more than 10,000 people were too staggering, and they still felt lost and powerless.
"We're still a little slower......"
Luna, the princess who is the backbone of the main heart, couldn't help but sigh.
The beast tide is becoming more and more exaggerated each time, and the casualties are getting bigger and bigger.
She didn't know how much longer she could hold out.
After being away from home for three years and running outside, no matter how hard the body is, it will be tiring.
At the dawn of the bright crossing, the princess Luna stood up straight and looked in the direction of the royal capital, where there was an emperor who was worshiped by tens of thousands of people, and she also had her cutest little sister.
She prayed silently in the bottom of her heart.
Little sister, I hope you can be well, and you don't have to face this cruelty and reality like your sister.
In the sacred royal capital extremely far away from the town of Yanan.
In the solemn and solemn imperial dormitory.
The small bathroom was full of laughter.
"Alright, alright. Don't be angry, I shouldn't laugh so loudly. Besides, I didn't mean to. ”
Diana, the little princess, lifted the white dragon high and placed it on the closet where her clothes were stored, her expression smiling, not at all like an apology for her previous presumptuous ridicule.
Looking at the smile that still didn't dissipate at the corner of Diana's mouth, Rune still had doubts about the gold content of this apology.
However, Luan also felt that things were really outrageous, he had heard for the first time that there were animals that couldn't even bite their own eggshells, and according to the laws of natural evolution, this weak race had basically been eliminated.
Wait a minute......
Could it be that his own parents just felt that their baby was too thin and hopeless, so they threw themselves into the wilderness......
The more Lu thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, and it was normal for him to be regarded as a big lizard with his small body without a little dragon-like body.
No, I don't even doubt my true race......
After Diana's unremitting efforts, those miscellaneous shells were smashed into pieces by sledgehammers, mixed with some cooling [Mana Replenishment Potion], and Lune ate his first meal after hatching.
Although it did smell strange, as if he was drinking some kind of bitter and sour herb, Lu En had long been accustomed to this kind of thing similar to Chinese medicine in his previous life.
He stiffened his head, held an iron bucket bigger than himself, and showed it directly to his mouth.
A few big gulps.
Specifically, whether it is bitter or sour or spicy is not tasted.
Rune felt quite noisy next to his ears, and a series of system prompts sounded one after another.
[CON +1]
【Strength +1】
Dexterity +1
【Mana +1】
In addition to the four basic stat bonuses that continue to ring, Luan also gains a talent skill.
【Flying】
It's just that the word "primary" is written on the back, and it seems that it needs to be upgraded additionally.
After Lune had a full hiccups, the tone next to his ears ended.
The improvement of the four-dimensional attribute eventually stays at about 20 points each.
The improvement of attributes is directly reflected in physical fitness, Rune's body is significantly larger, and his young body has become a little stronger, and most importantly, the small wings behind him are no longer weak to hang down beside him, and they can be fully opened and move up and down.
This is equivalent to Lune, who is a "baby", finally learning to "walk".
In the same way, Luan wanted to retort loudly.
I can fly, and I should be able to prove my identity.
He's not a lizard, he's a real dragon!
Of course, because of the initial mastery of the ability to fly, Lune could not fully learn to fly, no matter how hard his little wings flapped, he could only barely take Lune to a few tens of centimeters in the air, and if he went up a little or lasted for a few more seconds, he would be exhausted until he fell to the ground.
Here's the good news, though.
As long as Lune practiced hard or increased the level of his flying skills, he might be able to achieve true flying.
Lune is hopeful for his future life.
Just a little.
He is still not very accustomed to the tossing of his "owner".
Diana's brain hole is too amazing, often thinking about one play at a time, regardless of the consequences, after the maids start to clean up the room and clean up all kinds of messes made by one person and one dragon.
Diana, who had nothing to do, actually picked up the young dragon directly.
Under Lune's bewildered gaze, he was led to the bathroom.
He also said that he would personally wash the incense for Rune......
At this moment, the maid, who had prepared hot water and toiletries, exited the bathroom, the door was closed, and in a few moments the room became steaming.
And Rune, whose scales on his body were beginning to turn red, was placed on the cabinet where his clothes were stored, his eyes empty, and he still didn't know what was going on, like a duckling waiting to get out of the pot.
Little Diana had already been busy in the locker room in advance, and one by one her clothes were taken off and thrown into the basket in front of Lune.
In his previous life, as a senior great magician, how could he have seen such a scene.
Two voices came from Lune's heart, one from the desire of the heart, and it bewitched Lune like a demonic whisper.
The voice that symbolized reason slapped Luan a few times.
Lune thinks that he is an upright and frank adult, just as the so-called body is not afraid of shadows, and he has not moved any crooked thoughts, why is he so restless?
Thinking so, Rune calmed down and nestled quietly on the cupboard.
"Hey...... I'm ready...... Mom is going to give you ......."
The door to the locker room slowly opened.
Diana, cloaked, stepped out of it.
Rune looked up, and the girl's long hair seemed to be wet with moisture, draped over her shoulders and back, exuding an inexplicable fragrance.
Her skin was as white as snow, as if she had just emerged from the water.
She wore a loose bathrobe, from the collarbone to the knee, the material of the bathrobe was soft and comfortable, swaying gently with the girl's steps.
The color of the bathrobe is pale pink, which brings out the femininity of the girl just right.
Diana's eyes as she looked at Rune revealed a hint of comfort and calm, like the water of a lake in the morning, clear and warm.
With a satisfied and relaxed smile on her face, Diana's heart slowly fell to the ground when the baby dragon actually hatched from the egg.
I don't have any other ideas, just play the role of a mom as much as possible.
Rune's expression was slightly glazed.
In the hazy mist, the blonde girl is so moving, green and a little mature that does not match her age.
On a pure baby face, her lips are slightly upturned, like red rose petals, her lips are red and her teeth are white, you can see her smile from the heart, and the sun is as warm as the sun.
Diana picked up a strand of wet hair and gently placed it behind her ear, revealing her slender neck, the droplets on which glistened playfully.
It was as if time was slow and gentle on Diana's side.
She is a flower that has just bloomed.
I exude the beauty of nature and unrestrained freedom.
Lune came to his senses.
Without saying a word, he quickly jumped off the cabinet.
Spread its thin, thin dragon wings and float straight towards the door.
It's like a cat who is about to take a bath and finally realizes that something is not quite right.
Lune began to scratch frantically at the door, still screaming.
"Woo! Rattle! ”
The boss's attack was too strong, and he was killed in seconds as soon as he met Lune.
Rune couldn't imagine what was going to happen next.
He wanted to escape, but he couldn't!
The doorknob is more than a meter high, and Rune can't reach it!
"Huh? What's wrong? Why are you running? Do you hate bathing so much? Are you afraid of getting hot? Do you want me to turn down the water temperature? ”
Diana, whose face was full of confusion, was still tilting her head, slowly approaching.
Luan glanced back, then immediately turned his head, and the scales on his body turned completely pink.
He scratched the door harder, and wanted to shout at Diana again.
Don't you come here!!
In the end, Luan did his best to compress the strength of the muscles in his hind legs, and with a strong leap, coupled with the flying technique he launched, the wings behind him flapped violently.
I was finally able to feel the location of the doorknob.
Lune learned the movements of his own cat in his previous life, and used his own body weight to pull the doorknob, and hung on it twice by the way.
I watched as the bathroom door pulled out a small gap.
The white dragon quickly jumped down and ran down the hallway, Lun really needed to calm down, at least a little bit.
"Hey! Don't run out! It's dangerous out there! ”
Watching the young dragon squeeze out of the crack in the door with a silky little combo, Diana seriously doubted if this guy was a repeat offender.
The palace was too big, and Diana was afraid that the young dragon would run in the wrong direction and get lost.
Diana, still in her bathrobe, followed closely behind, spreading her legs and chasing.
There was anxiety in her eyes.
"Don't run so fast, if you don't take a bath, we won't wash, what are you running!"
On all fours, Lune had just run two steps when he ran head-on into some kind of hard object around the corner of the hallway.
"Boom!"
The voice was muffled.
"Woo ......"
Pained Lun slowly looked up, and he saw a pair of shiny white gold iron boots, and leg armor covered with some kind of composite metal, and the heavy white and gold armor that looked expensive.
Finally, there is the dark-haired man with angry eyes.
He half-squatted down, and with one hand, he lifted the white young dragon at his feet in front of him.
For the first time, Luan felt a sense of crisis, he knew that this guy was not a good guy and hated himself.
Look at each other.
Lu En saw a trace of killing intent in those blue pupils that didn't hide anything.
Even Rune knew that if it weren't for the fact that Diana, who was in the rear, he might have been pinched to death by this guy.
Feeling threatened by his life, Lune immediately struggled, and his mouth continued to scream with grief.
"Karma! Woo! ”
Unfortunately, no matter how much Lune moved, his strong arms showed no signs of relaxing.
The mysterious man in white and gold heavy armor only locked his eyes on Diana, who was disheveled and did not have any royal etiquette.
He glared at him and whispered, "Such a gaffe, you have already lost the face of the emperor." Diana. ”
Diana, who was out of breath and trotted all the way, slowly stopped after seeing the man, and she reached out to cover her chest.
Diana recognized the identity of the person who came, and she didn't want to have any explanation, but said respectfully: "Brother Apollo......"
