Su Cheng: “…………”
It can’t really be the bastard of the God of Contract.
She narrowed her eyes and looked at the other person.
Klaus was very perceptive and almost immediately noticed her displeasure. He looked at her cautiously, "My Lord?"
He is still a real child now, and his body is still very thin. He looks like he has not eaten enough all day long and has not grown up at all.
Su Cheng silently erased the image of chest muscles, abdominal muscles, and navel drill from his mind, "Suddenly I remembered that I have a nasty friend with the same name."
"Oh," Klaus smiled sweetly. "That's a coincidence! It shows we're destined to meet. If I had the honor, I'd really like to learn from you how that gentleman became your friend. I'm willing to learn. As for the nasty part, I'll avoid it like a sea monster."
Su Cheng crossed his arms. "Honestly, I'm not sure I can trust you. After all, you were just thrown out for using fake money. From your expression, you knew it was fake."
"I'm not sure," Klaus said innocently. "Well, I can only say that I was prepared for the possibility. It was the payment for a bet. I knew the other party probably wouldn't give me real money, but sometimes you accept a deal because you have no other choice."
Su Cheng reached out and pinched his face.
Klaus: “?”
He looked a little stunned, but he quickly adjusted himself and continued to smile ingratiatingly, staring at her with those beautiful big eyes.
"So," Klaus said without a struggle, "is there anything I can do for you?"
Su Cheng looked at the bustling streets, "...There are dragons in this city, right?"
"Yes," Klaus replied quickly, "Several ancient dragons have their lairs in the surrounding deep sea. I heard that the ancestor of the water dragon is also sleeping at the bottom of the abyss."
Su Cheng didn't say anything.
"So," the child rolled his eyes, "do you want to see the dragon's treasure? Or do you want to find the dragon?"
He also deliberately used the word "appreciate", which sounds like it has nothing to do with stealing.
Su Cheng couldn't help but want to laugh, "In fact, I really want to meet the dragon clan——"
She deliberately showed some distress.
Klaus pondered for a moment, then suddenly clapped his hands, "Ah, I know a place. The owner is a Dragonborn. He can definitely introduce you!"
Su Cheng watched his performance quietly.
"However," he frowned, "this is also very troublesome. After all, they are the oldest dragon race. Even if they live around Tetia all year round, there are many people who will never see them in their lifetime—"
Su Cheng: "You mean money, right?"
Klaus puffed up his cheeks and said, "What you said, I also need an introduction for you..."
As they talked, they walked through several winding streets. The surrounding shops became more and more crowded. Various old wooden signs and chandeliers with mottled scratches were pieced together, jingling and swaying in the sea breeze.
Klaus stopped in front of a shop and pointed. "The owner of this shop is a Dragonborn, but he doesn't like outsiders. There's a magic circle on the door, and he has a bad temper. If I go in empty-handed, I'll definitely be kicked out."
Su Cheng pretended to think for a few seconds, "Oh, how much?"
"Hey, it only costs ten gold coins."
"?"
"That's not much," Klaus looked at her without a trace of guilt. "You know that dragons are—"
Su Cheng pretended to feel pained and handed him a pile of coins. "Is that enough?"
"That's enough!" the child laughed happily. "Wait a moment!"
As he said this, he picked up the gold coins and ran in, moving between the dim and crowded counters, and nimbly avoiding the shaky antique ornaments.
"Good day, sir——"
Klaus stood on tiptoe on the counter, greeted the sleepy boss inside, then put down all the gold coins, leaving only one in his pocket.
"I've paid back everything I owe you, with interest!"
He coughed lightly. "By the way, I'm going to leave the store through the back door. If someone comes looking for me later, please talk to her for a few more words if possible. Of course, if you don't want to pay attention to her, forget it."
The man behind the counter yawned, stretched out his sharp claws to pick up the gold coins, and was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed.
The gold coin in his palm turned into a stone.
It’s the most common kind that can be seen everywhere on the street.
boss:"……"
Klaus: “…”
The boss slowly stood up, his massive body leaning forward, fangs bared. "Which lousy illusionist did you team up with to trick me?"
Klaus opened his mouth and looked back. The black-haired girl outside the shop waved to him, then turned and disappeared. The child held his forehead and said, "Well, I guess I deserved it. I thought I was a fat sheep."
Su Cheng was strolling on the other side of the city.
Although the power of the God's Favored One could no longer be used, she had also taught herself some illusion techniques. Moreover, she seemed to have been blessed by an ancient god related to illusions.
Anyway, there was some strange aura about that Klaus, so he must have the ability to save his life.
This is a residential area. Su Cheng walked on the warm stone steps, looking at the white houses stacked in layers and hung with flowers, as well as the terraces across the azure bay.
The air is filled with the aroma of grilled fish and the sweet and sour taste of fruit.
In a trance, a strange "voice" penetrated all the noise and sounded deep in her mind.
It was not the language of any human or elf she had ever learned. It was ancient and complex, with a sense of multiple resonances, and each syllable was like the swirling and crashing of deep ocean currents.
It connected with her soul, her spiritual source, resonating with it in some irresistible way.
and--
The corresponding meaning emerged in her mind almost immediately, and she understood what the other party wanted to convey.
This is a call between dragons.
Su Cheng came to the conclusion with satisfaction.
In fact, she had long known that her high-profile teleportation, even if it landed outside the city, would easily alert the powerful people nearby.
Even if people sense something, they may not take action immediately.
Moreover, she herself could vaguely sense some strange aura, but because she had never come into contact with water-attributed dragons, she was a little unsure for a moment.
Su Cheng stopped.
The surrounding noise seemed to be pushed away by an invisible barrier, and everything became distant and blurred.
She turned and walked towards a high protruding terrace, and jumped into the endless blue bay, like a light seabird diving into the ocean.
Then it sank into the icy water.
She felt a gentle force grabbing her, and the sea water around her began to swirl, forming a kind of suction channel.
Su Cheng was pulled to the bottom of the sea.
The darkness lasted only a brief moment, and a silver-blue halo like moonlight appeared in front of her. She passed through the hazy water curtain and entered a whole new world.
It was a magnificent underwater palace. There was no water pressure, and the air was cool and pure, with a crisp scent like melted snow.
The entire palace was not built by stacking, but was directly hollowed out and carved from some kind of translucent light blue crystal vein.
Therefore, the main body presents a strange spiral shape, with countless coral-like forks rising high to form spires, extending from the central hall to the surrounding areas.
A silver-blue light slowly flowed inside the crystal wall, like countless shining blood vessels.
Those huge arches are formed by the graceful interlacing of the dragon's ribs, supporting the dome that shimmers with colorful light like the inside of a shell.
Then--
As expected, Su Cheng saw treasures all over the ground, but they were not piled up in a vulgar and messy way.
Those uncut gemstone clusters, like naturally grown plants, piled up in the corners of the palace and beside the pillars, emitting faint blue, red or emerald green light, and the shining fire was connected like starlight.
In the middle of the vast and empty hall, there was a huge egg.
Su Cheng: “…”
The egg was about a man's height, lying quietly in a nest made of white rocks and seaweed. A biting cold air emanated from the egg, and the nest was covered with a thin layer of frost.
The eggshell was a light frosty blue, like the clear sky reflected in the winter rime, with countless living silvery-white lines slowly flowing across it.
She could feel a familiar breath permeating the egg, pulsating to a certain rhythm, as if resonating with the entire palace.
There was a man standing next to the dragon egg.
The man had knee-length silver curly hair, like moonlight falling on the sea, and his skin was cold and pale, so thin that it was almost transparent.
The color of his irises was very light, like water that had never been polluted, extremely clear and pure, reflecting the crystals that filled the hall, with a hint of blue.
That face was incredibly beautiful, revealing an indifference that did not belong to this world. When his eyes passed over her, there was a hint of instinctive dislike.
——In a sense, it’s like seeing the child of an enemy.
Although not violently hostile, He was clearly displeased.
"…Why did you come here?"
He walked out from behind the dragon egg, his robes woven like flowing water and starlight, rippling with waves of silver light.
"Hello," Su Cheng greeted solemnly, "It's an honor to meet you, Your Majesty—"
The person in front of me is most likely the ancestor of the water dragon, although I don’t know what’s going on with that egg.
But she always felt that the other person looked familiar.
"I want to go to the Lightless Ruins," Su Cheng said softly, "You must know that I'm not a true dragon. Otherwise, I could probably find it pretty quickly on my own."
The man looked at her thoughtfully, "Carrying the aura of those things to the Sunless Ruins?"
Su Cheng: “?”
A second later, she realized that what the other person was talking about was probably the ancient gods.
Su Cheng: "...Will this make the other ancient dragons want to kill me?"
The man was silent for a second. "No, anyone who can threaten you can feel that you share the power of Kekleus, but—"
He didn’t finish, “…never mind, that’s none of my business.”
The surrounding space suddenly twisted violently.
The magnificent deep-sea palace began to stretch and fold, then transformed into a shrinking singularity.
Su Cheng did not feel the familiar spatial fluctuations. Perhaps it was some kind of magic unique to the dragon clan. The next second, she was standing on the ground.
The dry and hot air makes people feel like they are in a furnace. There are rough and sharp volcanic rocks under their feet and endless darkness in front of them.
She looked up and saw the sickly, turbid, dark red sky. In the distance lay pitch-black clouds, the edges of which trembled like burning flames.
They weighed heavily overhead, blocking out most of the light.
It is very dark here. There are countless black cliffs as steep as sharp blades, standing upright, with no grass growing. Only some minerals that have been twisted and crystallized by high temperatures are clinging to the stone walls like cysts.
There was dead silence everywhere.
There was no birdsong, not even the sound of wind.
Su Cheng also found the reason.
In this desolate canyon filled with the atmosphere of destruction, lies a pitch-black mountain—or to be more precise, a massive dragon clan as majestic as a mountain.
He half-curled up his body, the curves of his spine and wings like the peaks of a mountain range, lying across the middle of the high canyon cliff.
He was so dark that if it weren't for the dark horns on his head that looked like ancient trees, you would hardly be able to find his head at first glance.
The dragon's huge body was motionless, its breathing was almost invisible, and its eyes were closed.
Su Cheng could feel an extremely familiar aura from the other person.
So she also knew that this thing was still alive.
“…I thought I wouldn’t see you again.”
She whispered softly.
That mountain-like body exuded a suffocating sense of oppression, like a black hole that could swallow up all light and hope.
only--
However, Su Cheng did not feel uncomfortable.
Perhaps it's because they share the same power, and even feel a little bit familiar.
She walked slowly forward, gazing at the dark obsidian scales, each larger than the carriage, with sharp edges and tightly connected, emitting a cold metallic glow.
——It was like the embodiment of destruction and power.
Then.
Su Cheng saw His eyelids lift, revealing a pair of eyes that looked like they were cast from the sun.
The iris is a bright color like liquid gold, brilliant yet cold, with a black vertical pupil standing in it like a crack in the abyss.
The black color was so deep that it seemed to be able to swallow up all matter. It had no temperature, but contained a kind of chaotic madness. Every contraction seemed like a precursor to losing control.
She seemed to see the power hidden in it, like a raging fire that burned the sky and devoured the earth, which could sweep out and engulf the entire world at any time.
Su Cheng continued to walk forward, "...It may be strange to say this, but it seems that we will be friends in the future——"
The color and shape of those eyes were so familiar.
Yet another person would never show such a look.
"...the kind of relationship that we have is particularly good, and perhaps more than just friends."
Su Cheng said uncertainly.
The black dragon lay quietly there without any reaction.
For a moment, she wanted to explain what happened between them, why she was not a dragon but had such power.
But he also realized that if he wanted to explain it clearly, he also had to explain why the other party became the leader of a mercenary group.
Should I say—
Hey, what if two shameless people team up to defeat you in the future, causing you to fall into a complete sleep, and then somehow turn into a semi-amnesiac dragon?
Su Cheng sighed with a headache, "Anyway, I read in some books that the Dragon Trial Gate can only be opened by the Ancient Dragon King—"
In a sense, black dragons are the least numerous because their ancestors were mentally ill and could hardly preside over such ceremonies.
When Su Cheng met those eyes, he forgot what he wanted to say.
The deep gaze from the ancient being seemed to see through her completely, yet it also seemed as if it didn't notice her at all, immersed in the chaos that was boiling and rolling like magma.
Su Cheng: "Did I disturb your sleep?"
Realizing this, she stopped and tried to back away.
However, before he could fully plant his foot on the ground, the ground beneath his feet began to vibrate.
A huge black shadow, thicker than her entire body, suddenly came from the front and wrapped its arms around her waist precisely and without rejection.
Su Cheng: “…”
His tail is perhaps over a hundred meters long and very thick, so thick that two people might not be able to hold it all together. However, it narrows at the tip.
The scales became smaller and more flexible, swaying flexibly as the muscles contracted, wrapping around her waist in circles.
The force wasn't too strong, and I barely felt any restraint. It was just like a curious pull towards her.
She was lifted up and placed in front of the dragon's head.
Su Cheng looked straight into those golden eyes.
The black dragon was actually still lying down, but its body was too big and its head was like a mountain. When it got close, it carried a cold and chaotic aura.
As the embodiment of a certain power, the ancient dragon is not even a living creature in the strict sense.
But He was smelling her.
Su Cheng heard a slight gasp from his nose, and felt like a cold current brushing across his neck and cheeks.
She suddenly realized that the other party had never done this before when they were in human form.
In those golden eyes, she saw her own reflection. A blush appeared on her dazed face, and her eyes were confused and excited.
All the blood in the body seemed to boil at this contact.
The cold black scales rubbed against the fabric, and the dragon and human's muscles pressed against each other, like some kind of ambiguous caress.
Then--
Something slid across her heating cheek, leaving a cool and wet touch.
