The black dragon was on all fours, crouching like a cat, with dark, shiny scales all over its body. There were some flame-shaped black horns on its head, stretching backwards. A pair of black wings on its back were flapping, and its dark blue eyes were erected, with a universe hidden in its pupils, deep and full of spirit.
The little black dragon shook its tail freely, and the earth shook in an instant.
Lu Yao tilted her head back, unable to speak for a long time.
"Lu Yao." Seeing that Lu Yao seemed to be stunned, the little black dragon slowly lowered his head and nudged her very lightly.
Even though he had tried his best to control the force, Lu Yao was still nudged to the ground by this.
Harold slowly looked away, hiding his guilt.
Lu Yao supported himself on the ground with his hands, leaned back, and sat on the ground covered with rough stones. He seemed not to feel any pain, and kept the same expression as before, without even moving his eyes.
Harold's hidden uneasiness gradually grew.
Was she scared?
Did she think dragons were ugly?
Or did she dislike black dragons?
Humans worship dragons, not because they like them.
After all, most of them simply worship power.
Perhaps, he shouldn't have taken the risk.
In front of a human, he turned into a dragon. And expected a different response.
Harold slowly lowered his head, lay on the ground, raised his front paws, and covered his eyes.
The huge dragon came over and lay right in front of Lu Yao.
Lu Yao had seen the forms of most dragons in illustrations, including black dragons.
She knew Harold was a little black dragon, but the feeling of seeing it in the illustrations was completely different from seeing it in real life.
The real dragon was much bigger than the one in the illustrations. It lay in front of her like a mountain, with its scales glowing coldly. The slightest movement would cause an earthquake.
At first sight, one would be in awe unconsciously, but the look of this little black dragon lying on the ground with his eyes covered was really cute.
She couldn't help but raise her hand and touch his chin.
The dragon's body, except for the eyes and claws, was almost entirely covered with hard scales, which felt smooth, cool, and hard.
Harold felt his chin itchy, so he put down his claws, opened his round dragon eyes, and blinked, afraid that he would blow her away if he opened his mouth. He spoke to her in his heart: "Lu Yao, are you scared?"
A voice suddenly drilled into his mind, and Lu Yao was startled. He realized it was Harold, so he slowly exhaled, got up from the ground, and couldn't help but walk over to touch the little black dragon's claws.
After he turned back into a real dragon, the nails on his claws also grew larger, and after breaking, they reattached to the claws.
The gems that looked like small sugar beans also grew larger, and piled up on the tips of his claws like a treasure mountain. The degree of jewels and gems was no less than that of Ambrose.
Lu Yao lay on the tip of Harold's claws and rubbed them. "I didn't know you were so big. But dragons should be this big, right?"
She stood up straight and took a few steps back, trying to measure the size of the little black dragon. After finding it difficult to estimate, she gave up decisively and nodded, "You are tall and majestic, with shining scales. You are very beautiful, Harold."
The little black dragon stood up again, and the heavy mood just now was thrown behind him. The tail
stood up straight and swung lightly. The tip of the black tail "slapped" lightly on the ground, shaking up the dust, which startled Lu Yao and made her take a step back.
Harold thought Lu Yao's surprised look was a little silly, but his heart was warm, as if he had soaked in a hot spring. He immediately said proudly, "I will grow even bigger."
Lu Yao thought of Harold's human form, still a teenager of fourteen or fifteen years old, which probably reflected his dragon age.
According to the life span of the dragon clan, he might still be an underage dragon, and he will indeed grow up.
She nodded and took out her phone from her pocket, "I'll take a picture of you, and you can see it when you grow up."
The little black dragon had never taken a full-body photo, but he had taken a picture of his nails alone in the store, and he often saw Lu Yao taking pictures of customers' nails with a tablet and a phone.
When she said she wanted to take a picture of him, his eyes lit up.
The little black dragon was really big. Lu Yao walked very far away and zoomed out to barely fit him in the frame.
She took several photos from different angles and asked Harold to lie on the ground to take some beautiful photos of the giant dragon looking lazy.
Not far away, Pu Xiu looked at Lu Yao's actions and was puzzled: "What is she doing? This human is so weird."
Merulu was also silent. This human was different from the people they had met before.
Over there, Lu Yao finished taking the photos and finally remembered what she had to do today. She put away her phone and prepared to go.
The dragon's body was too tall and its scales were slippery. She couldn't climb up no matter what.
In the end, Harold carefully hooked up her clothes with his claws and carried her on his back.
Lu Yao rolled on the little black dragon's back twice and commented, "Well, it's really wide."
The little black dragon spread its wings and flapped them, sending sand and stones flying all around. He reminded, "Hold on tight, we're about to fly."
He deliberately raised two rows of scales on his back to make it easier for Lu Yao to hold on.
Lu Yao remained sitting, holding the spread scales tightly in her hands.
Perhaps Harold had taken care of it, and the sharp and hard scales of the dragon did not cut her.
The ground was getting farther and farther away from her, and there was only the sound of the wind in her ears.
It really flew!
Lu Yao rode on the back of the giant dragon and saw the dark green mountains stretching in the distance. There was a hazy mist at the junction of the clouds and the mountains, and strange monsters flew by.
The wind caressed her skin and hair. At that moment, she seemed to be free of all restraints and as free as the wind.
The dragon was too fast for the elves to catch up.
Merulu and Pushou chased for a short distance before being thrown away.
Pushou sat on a thin branch and looked at the flying dragon. "What should we do?"
Merulu looked up for a while. "Go back to the store."
"Ah? Why go back?" Pushou looked blankly.
Merulu rolled her eyes.
Pushou was still the same as before, not willing to use his brain at all.
"That human should be the owner of the nail salon. Harold is the predicted world-destroying black dragon. We need to collect more intelligence to stop the ambitions of the Jinkley clan. We also need to monitor the owner of the nail salon. She knows the identity of the dragon, but she doesn't show any surprise. Based on past experience, she must be plotting something bigger." Merulu said.
Pushu nodded blankly: "There is no problem in collecting intelligence and stopping Jinklai. But I don't think that human seems to have any ambitions."
Merulu curled her lips: "You also thought that the evil Carlos had no bad intentions, but he tricked you into the golden bird cage and locked you in the temple for ten years."
Pushu's face turned red when he was suddenly reminded of the past. He lowered his head and whispered: "...Okay, I'll do whatever you say."
Merulu and Pushu immediately returned to Emerald Town and saw the notice for recruiting apprentices at the door of the nail salon.
Pushu came to Merulu's side, "What's so good about this?"
Merulu pointed to the bottom of the notice, her expression serious and focused, "Look, it says here that we are recruiting light magicians, regardless of race."
Pushu: "Well, what's the problem?"
Merulu had already given up on Pushu. This guy really didn't want to use his brain for a second. She tried her best to hold back from rolling her eyes and tried to maintain her ladylike image.
"Why would a nail shop need magic? Harold is the dark attribute black dragon in the prophecy, and the only magic that can best restrain the dark attribute is light magic. That human store manager must have bad intentions towards the dragon." Merulu said.
Pushu bit his finger, but because of the incident with Carlos, he didn't dare to refute. He followed Merulu's train of thought and said, "Then what should we do?"
Merulu raised her chin slightly and said the plan, "Apply for a clerk position." Lu Yao
lay on the dragon's back, overlooking the entire Alexandria continent.
Along the way, they saw goblins fighting ogres, migrating small monsters, adventurers hunting in the deserted mountains, and met several dragons on the journey.
Adult dragons are larger than two Harolds, and dragons of different attributes have different scales and eye colors.
They are very interested in Harold's claws inlaid with gems.
After learning about the existence of the nail salon, the dragons agreed to get a manicure after the trip. After
parting with the dragon, passing by a white sand green lake, Harold paused for a moment and told Lu Yao that he and Si Jin would occasionally come here to bathe and then roll on the sand to bask in the sun.
The closer they got to the town, the sparser the vegetation became, and the fewer large monsters there were.
Two hours later, Lu Yao and Harold arrived at the city of Onorton.
A carriage would take a day and a night to travel, but a dragon would
only fly for two hours. Lu Yao wanted to say that this was better than an airplane.
The dragon's figure was too conspicuous, so they landed outside the city.
When Harold changed from a dragon back to human form, black magic automatically wrapped around his body, transforming into the black robe he usually wore.
Lu Yao blinked, "Your clothes are all transformed by magic?"
Harold nodded, "Yes."
"So convenient, can you change it to a different style?"
"What style do you want?"
Lu Yao said tentatively, "A white robe with dark blue patterns, and the shoes should also be changed to dark blue."
Harold moved his fingertips, and black mist lingered on his body, slowly transforming into the clothes described by Lu Yao.
Lu Yao tilted her head to look at Harold, pointing at the collar and cuffs, "Here, here, and here, can you add some golden edges?"
Harold usually saw Lu Yao doing manicures, so he understood what she meant and added them as she said. Lu
Yao looked Harold up and down. The high-ponytailed boy in the white uniform had straight shoulders and broad back, and half of his usual lazy temperament was gone, as if he was a noble boy from somewhere.
She nodded with satisfaction, "That's it, very nice. This magic is not written in the book, go back and teach me."
Dress-up magic, it's just too good!
The magical world can always surprise her in unexpected places.
"Yeah." Harold agreed, and he was a little excited at the thought of teaching Lu Yao.
The shopkeeper usually behaved too capable, sometimes he would forget that she was a human, and subconsciously thought that she was a being that could stand shoulder to shoulder with the dragons.
The only thing he remembered in his mind was that her body was very fragile and must be well protected.
The two went into the city together and found Sasha's Pharmacy.
Unfortunately, Feisha had been away from the forest where the elves lived for too long, and most of the fairies she knew could no longer be found.
Lu Yao did not get any useful intelligence, and after chatting with Feisha for a few words, he left Sasha's Pharmacy.
She was thinking about other possible ways to find the goblins, and when she looked up, she saw a fortune-telling stand in the alley next to her.
The stall owner was a bright-looking lady with beautiful light blue eyes and hair, like the sea water. Lu Yao was stunned.
The fortune-teller Du Manning saw Lu Yao and Harold and called out, "Want to fortune-tell? My fortune-telling technique is very accurate and very cheap. Do you two want to try it?" Lu
Yao suddenly had an idea and walked to the fortune-telling stand, "I'm looking for goblins. Can I find them by fortune-telling?"
Du Manning looked at her with a little scrutiny, and after a moment, he slowly nodded and held out his hand, "Twenty copper coins."
Lu Yao took out the copper coins and handed them over.
Du Manning took it and carefully put it into her purse, then took out a spherical transparent crystal and placed it on the beige cushion in front of her.
She chanted a long string of spells to the crystal, and images began to appear in the crystal.
These images kept flashing like broken points, with forests, seashores, swamps, plains... There were one or two little people with wings on each picture, and Lu Yao's eyebrows suddenly moved.
Du Manning glanced at her, "What did you see?"
Lu Yao stared at the crystal carefully, and after a moment his brows relaxed, "I seem to see a pair of fairies in my store."
Although it was only a quick flash, the images seemed to repeat themselves. The decoration in the store was different from the wilderness, and she noticed it at a glance.
Du Manning stared at the crystal, and the picture in the crystal suddenly stopped. "Is this your shop?"
In the picture, Merulu and Pushu were lying on the glass round table of the nail salon, with a comic book spread out in front of them, and snacks and water beside them.
Lu Yao nodded: "Yes. Your fortune-telling technique is indeed very accurate. We have to go back first. Thank you."
She turned around, pulled Harold up, and hurried back.
Du Manning suddenly stood up, "Wait a minute, guest."
Lu Yao turned around, "Hmm?"
Du Manning pinched her fingertips and whispered, "The guest's aura is a little strange, you are not from here, right?"
"Well, you can say that." Lu Yao was a little anxious, afraid to go back too late and miss the fairy who took the initiative to come to the door.
"Do you want to take your fortune?" Du Manning asked.
"Huh? Me?" Lu Yao was a little surprised.
"Well. The aura on your body is complex, with light and shadow interweaving, and maybe there is something wrong. Don't worry, my fortune-telling skills are very accurate." Du Manning said seriously.
The vegetable picker was so pretty that Lu Yao felt embarrassed to refuse and sat down patiently: “How do I do it?”
Du Manning stretched out her hand and said: “A gold coin.”
“…” Lu Yao immediately stood up and said: “Forget it, forget it, I don’t need it.”
Du Manning grabbed Lu Yao, frowned slightly, looked at him with pleading eyes, and said in a coquettish voice: “Please, can you pick up some vegetables for me once? I’m not actually from here. I accidentally ended up in this city. I wanted to go back home, but I needed some travel expenses, so I came out to set up a stall and pick up some vegetables. But the people in this city don’t believe in vegetable pickers, and most of the people who come to pick up vegetables are rogues... There are very few serious customers who want to pick up vegetables.”
Lu Yao: “…”
If this young lady wasn’t so pretty, she would have called Harold to do it.
Du Manning thought Lu Yao was moved by her words, and continued: "I can't walk too far, my legs will hurt. But as long as I have a gold coin, I can rent a carriage to go back home. I really just want to go home, I'm not lying to you. How about this, for one gold coin, I will make an exception and pick a fortune for you and this young man once each."
Harold came over and raised his hand to shake off Du Manning.
Lu Yao stopped him in time and sat down again.
The beautiful fortune teller's eyes were filled with light moisture, which moistened her blue eyes and made them look more like the sea.
She might really be desperate and want to go home.
Lu Yao took out a gold coin and handed it over, "Okay, don't cry."
Du Manning took the gold coin, as if someone had pulled him back from the edge of a cliff. He raised his hand to wipe his eyes and wiped away his tears, "Who will go first?"
Lu Yao: "I'll go first. But how do you do it?"
"Put your hand on the crystal." Du Manning whispered.
Lu Yao stretched out his hand to cover the crystal, and a picture appeared.
