Hearing this, the blond boy blinked innocently.

"Of course I can understand..." He scratched his cheek and said, "My awakened beast taming talent is [Telepathy]. Even if they are extraordinary creatures, as long as they have clear thinking consciousness, I can understand the meaning of their calls."

This was something Mu Liuyue didn't know.

However, in later history, it was indeed recorded that [Count Star Dragon] had a strong affinity. In addition to his partner [Dark Night Star Dragon], he also established friendships across races with many wild supernatural creatures.

I didn't expect that the source of this affinity was the beast taming talent [Telepathy].

Thinking of this, the little black dragon's back stiffened slightly.

"Gah..." (Didn't you hear all my previous mumblings...)

The blond boy smiled and said, "You need to concentrate to perceive. Usually I won't actively listen to the thoughts of other people or extraordinary creatures."

“Most of the time, it’s not a good experience.”

Ellen's voice dropped, and he changed the subject, continuing to look at the little black dragon who had finally regained some energy.

"Come to think of it, I still don't know how to call you. Do you have a name?"

The little black dragon shook his long tail and fell into deep thought.

Then she cried softly.

"Oh." (Hiiragi.)

Mu Huoyue was also a little embarrassed. She couldn't think of any meaningful code name at the moment. However, it was too strange for a little dragon hatched in the Hela region to have a surname from the Dayan region, so she only told the other party her name.

"Hiragizuki..." Ellen repeated in Hela language, finding it very interesting, "It's the month of midsummer. Do you like summer?"

"Gah." (Just assume I like it.)

Mu Yuyue said so.

Miraculously, after chatting with Ellen for a while, she felt a lot more relaxed.

There is no point in feeling anxious. Since she has already come to this time and space, she should just do her best without any regrets. She can be a help in realizing the history of the [Main World], but she has no way to truly influence the final direction of this time and space.

The key person is still the blond boy in front of him.

After the conversation between the man and the dragon, it was already very late. Ellen tidied himself and returned to the bed. He saw that the little black dragon had curled up next to the pillow, with its chin resting on the pillow, occupying a small corner. He couldn't help but smile.

The racial characteristics that Hiiragi displays sometimes...are actually more like humans, right? For example, when sleeping, you may habitually sleep on your pillow.

With wonderful thoughts about his companion dragon, Ellen said good night to her and fell into a deep sleep peacefully.

…

After sorting out the current situation of this time and space, Mu Huoyue began to plan and formulate a corresponding implementation plan.

The most urgent task is to help Eren pass the brave selection of this monastery and let him embark on the real revival tour as soon as possible.

After defeating the seven evil beasts, the situation in the Hela region has undergone tremendous changes, which has led to the occurrence of countless historical events. It can be said to be one of the key nodes in the progress of history, and it is something that must be ensured to be completed.

The second, more crucial point lies in the [Origin Spirit] that appeared at the end of the Revival Tour.

As a mythical race of the origin of extraordinary creatures, they were moved by the bond between [Count Star Dragon] and his partner, leaving behind the initial [Contract], which directly led to the birth of [Beast Tamers] in later generations and brought the connection between humans and extraordinary creatures to a new stage.

This is an event that can truly influence the future development of time and space. If Mu Huoyue brings in [Zero Master] to choose a node as the location where the initial choice occurs, the [Origin Spirit] contract will undoubtedly have a very high probability.

No matter what, Eren must be allowed to be a hero and start the pilgrimage of revival.

To this end, Mu Huoyue conducted sufficient preliminary investigation.

The criteria for passing the selection will be determined in the [Brave Candidate Examination] to be held soon.

All candidates who have a dragon partner will fight according to the prophecy, and the candidate who wins in the end will be regarded as a truly qualified [Hero].

This form of assessment is somewhat like the predecessor of the beast taming battles of later generations, except that the rules are simpler and more brutal, and human beast tamers must also stand on the duel field together and fight side by side with their beast partners.

During the assessment, any form of extraordinary skills and beast-taming talents are allowed. If any casualties are caused accidentally, the monastery's priests will be responsible for treatment, and the duelists will not be held responsible.

Therefore, the monastery will also provide basic swordsmanship guidance to all hero candidates to help them hone their martial arts.

Even though Allen was only fifteen or sixteen years old, he had already been undergoing systematic sword training for several years, and his skills were good enough to protect himself in low-level secret realms.

But Mu Huiyue knew that with an ordinary person's physique, even if he practiced swordsmanship to the extreme, it would be useless in the face of a combat-type beast-taming talent.

For example, if there were no cooperation from the contracted pet, ten Mu Huiyue would not be a match for Wen Li in the [Burning Blood] state.

The rules of modern beast taming battles are based on the safety of the beast tamer. However, in the Hela region eight hundred years ago, it was not so gentle.

Allen's beast taming talent is [Telepathy], which is almost a purely auxiliary function talent without any bonus in terms of strength.

At this stage, he is unable to establish a true contract with supernatural creatures, nor can he gain any amplification from the contract feedback. He has to use his ordinary physique to fight against his comrades who have awakened combat-type beast taming talents.

This is one of the reasons why Eren has always been regarded as the last one. No matter how hard he tries, the possibility of him defeating other comrades in the [Brave Candidate Assessment] is very slim.

After all, duel-type assessments are like the seven evil beasts, and they are not problems that can be solved by communication through [telepathy].

Eren knew this very well, and only considered himself as a candidate chosen to make up the numbers, and did not have any unrealistic expectations for the [Brave Candidate Assessment].

He was in a bad mood every day, and didn't care much about the bullying and ridicule among his colleagues. He just waited for the assessment to be over and then returned home obediently.

But I didn't expect that the lifeless dragon egg would actually hatch, and that a little creature would appear that would block the dragon's breath at all costs to protect itself.

Mu Huoyue was very dissatisfied with his attitude of giving up, and with a wave of her little paw, she helped him develop a detailed training plan.

This was originally one of the things she was best at. She used to help the pets with plans and arrangements, but now that she herself had become a pet, it didn't matter. The things she had to accomplish were almost the same.

Ellen needs to strengthen her physical fitness and swordsmanship training, and she herself must get used to the characteristics of extraordinary creatures as soon as possible and use her skills proficiently.

Regarding this, Mu Huoyue learned about his own race from the priest of the monastery. He was a dark-type high-level warrior dragon called [Nightwing Dragon].

There is no race with the corresponding name in the records of later generations. It should be one of the several major [dragon species] that died in the Hela region.

However, Mu Chuyue was somewhat dissatisfied with the rating of this high-level warrior race. From her perspective as a level 7 beastmaster, her physical fitness data was definitely good enough to be considered as that of an entry-level monarch race.

However, the most critical [Deterrence] skill representing the monarch race has not yet been released.

Not to mention the [Deterrence] skill, Mu Huoyue also spent a lot of effort on how to use wings and tail to fight.

After being a purebred human for decades, he suddenly had two extra body parts that he had never had before. It was even more difficult for him to control his own strength than those little dragons who were still mentally confused and acted entirely on instinct.

Fortunately, Mu Liuyue never gives up easily. Now that we know the direction of the problem, it is much easier to solve it.

She followed the plan every day, supervising Eren and herself to train hard, striving to increase their strength as much as possible and accumulate more trump cards before the [Brave Candidate Assessment] began.

…

In the nearest monastery, one can often see the little black-winged dragon seriously urging his human companions to train hard, which has become a great spectacle for the brave candidates to stop and watch.

Most newly born dragons have strong and naughty personalities. They can obey the instructions of the beastmaster and complete various combat cooperation. They are already very powerful top students. There has never been a situation where a fellow dragon supervises the beastmaster's training.

Mu Huoyue turned a deaf ear to this. Since they were all competitors in the [Brave Candidate Assessment], she certainly wouldn't care about their opinions.

Anyway, the monastery prohibits private fighting between hero candidates, so there is no need to worry if they really dare to cause trouble for Ellen. The dragon breath she can breathe out now is more powerful than that of the [Earth Rock Dragon].

In the prophecy monastery, there are thirteen teams in total who successfully hatch dragon eggs and participate in the brave candidate assessment.

Including the newly awakened Eren, they can be divided into seven groups, and the final winner will be decided through an elimination match.

During the breaks in daily training, Mu Huoyue learned about the detailed situations of all the brave candidates and observed their partner dragons one by one.

She is the type who is good at tactics and countermeasures, and pre-war intelligence is also an important factor in winning.

While the little black dragon was gathering intelligence, Ellen, who had been running ten laps around the monastery, finally couldn't hold on any longer and sat down gasping for breath.

During this period of time under the devilish training of Instructor Hiiragi Tsuki, he felt that he was about to be reborn.

It has to be said that the efforts of his dragon companion also influenced him. When he saw such a small Nightwing flying dragon hanging on the eaves with its tail and doing ten sets of handstand push-ups, he believed that few beastmasters could still lie in the dormitory with peace of mind.

The little black dragon flew back from not far away. When she was just hatched, she couldn't control her wings, but now she is quite skilled.

Eren reached out and caught her, letting the little black dragon rest on his arm.

Mu Huoyue looked at the blond boy whose cheeks were red from tiredness but who had never shouted that he was tired to her, and patted his hand with her tail as encouragement.

Ellen sat against the earthen wall of the monastery and looked up at the sky which was gradually turning rosy.

At this time, most of the hero candidates have already returned to the dormitory, only he and his always energetic Xiaolong are still training.

He lowered his head slightly, his eyes falling on the beautiful scales of the Nightwing Dragon.

"…Why is Hiiragi willing to work so hard?"

"This is clearly an occasion that no one is looking forward to."

The Nightwing Dragon raised its head, its pupils of a similar color to the glow of the sky stared at him, and it let out a serious cry.

"Gaoh." (Because you are the future hero, you will complete the pilgrimage of revival with me, save the Hela region... and even the future world.)

Allen was speechless for a moment. In the entire monastery, perhaps the only one who thought so was his little black dragon.

From birth to now, even though he was selected to enter the Monastery of Prophecy, he had never been given such high hopes.

But there was no fantasy in Hiiragi's eyes. She really believed that she would become a hero and would accomplish unimaginable feats with her in the future.

Can he really do it…?

Allen certainly didn't know what would happen in the future, but at this moment, he didn't want to disappoint these eyes that contained infinite expectations.

He reached out and gently touched the Nightwing's folded wings.

"Then make a promise with me, Hiiragi, you will always be by my side and complete the revival pilgrimage with me."

The little black dragon flapped its wings and cried out as a matter of course.

"Gah." (Of course.)

She came here across such a long time and space just to help Ellen complete this journey to change the world.
