Chapter 45 I Want to Be with You She Really Loves Me
Godwin had a proud look on his face, as if he didn't care about his new gift, but in fact, he was trying hard to suppress the urge to wag his tail.
This was the first time a believer said they had prepared a special gift for him, which made Godwin curious about what it was.
Knowing that his followers were very poor, they would praise a green gem the size of a pebble with great fanfare. The box was very large, so Godwin felt that it could not contain his favorite colored gems, but only other worthless trinkets.
However, the believer had good taste. Although she was not financially well-off, she had put a lot of thought into the packaging, which made Godwin look forward to what was in the box.
Seeing that the servants' eyes were glued to the beautifully packaged black box, unable to move, Godwin curled the corners of his lips, stretched out his other paw, and gently hooked it, untying the green bow.
Let them open their eyes and see to what extent his followers love him.
The moment the gift box lid was opened, a beautiful and dazzling light was reflected from inside the box. The mysterious purple color was very alluring and did not disappoint the five pairs of expectant eyes at all.
Shen Jiang paid close attention to Godwin's reaction.
Godwin stared at it for a few seconds, then raised his paw in disbelief and brought the box close to his eyes.
The crystal clear purple crystal was artificially carved into a shape. A mini dragon as big as his teeth lay proudly in the box, with black velvet cloth underneath it, making the purple color even deeper.
Godwin thought it resembled his own dragon form, only a bit more adorable. Thanks to the meticulous carving, every curve was perfectly rounded and adorable, making the purple dragon look incredibly exquisite.
Godwin could point out countless flaws in this gift. First, this amethyst dragon lacked the domineering aura that Godwin so loved. Furthermore, despite its size, the amethyst lacked any magical energy fluctuations.
Secondly, well, there is no second.
Godwin felt something swaying gently in his heart, and there was no feeling of disappointment at all.
In a moment of distraction, Godwin's tail couldn't help but wag twice.
Beatrice had never seen such an exquisitely carved gem. Sunlight penetrated the lavender crystal, and every corner and arc reflected a captivating purple halo. Every cut of this work of art was so perfectly executed, a masterpiece of divine craftsmanship.
Not to mention the unmistakable shape, which is practically tailor-made to the image of Lord Godwin. Without the image of the black dragon firmly in mind, such a vivid sculpture would have been impossible.
So Lord Godwin is such a lovely image in the eyes of the witch?
It is obviously arrogant, conceited, and very lazy.
But is it still unique and different in the eyes of the witch?
If Shen Jiang knew what she was thinking, he would definitely say: Actually, my memory is too good. There is nothing I can do about it. I was born with a photographic memory.
Cecilia had never seen such an exquisitely crafted amethyst before. Although amethyst was sold in the shops of the First Empire, they were at most amethyst balls. No magician would be so extravagant as to use such a huge magic stone to make an ornament and sacrifice the originally stable magic energy array.
Seeing the black dragon Godwin holding the purple dragon statue in his arms, Shen Jiang knew that this gift was a perfect match. Godwin was such a narcissistic person, and she didn't believe he could resist combining his image with his favorite sparkling creatures.
Although compared to natural crystal, this artificial crystal has no impurities and looks fake at first glance, but Shen Jiang was deeply impressed by the treasures in Godwin Dragon Xue. Not a single piece had any impurities, and they were all clean and pure.
This great dragon lord had a thing for it. To him, the best was the norm.
Among the quotations given to her by the college student of the sculpture department, this Q-version sculpture was the cheapest and had the fastest delivery speed. Although she lost several small crystal stones when practicing at the beginning, these crystal stones were man-made. A large piece only cost a few hundred yuan, and the small ones were given to her by the merchants to play with.
The most expensive part of Black Dragon's gift was the labor cost, but Shen Jiang could definitely afford it. After all, she had another purpose in preparing such a thoughtful gift for Godwin.
Over the past two weeks, Shen Jiang has been counting the medicinal herbs on Godwin Mountain. She's discovered that while the mountain's abundance seems impressive, it's impossible to find every single one. Previously, Shen Jiang had substituted herbs already in her store for missing ingredients in her prescriptions. But these days, a bold idea has been brewing in her mind: explore other dragon mountains.
This is also due to the contributions of Director Chen and Elder Lu. Their high regard for Chinese medicinal materials suggests that the current quality of Chinese medicines at traditional Chinese medicine hospitals cannot meet their needs. If official drug procurement begins to encounter problems, Shen Jiang, as a private sector organization, will face even greater challenges in finding suitable herbs. To this end, she had to make preparations in advance.
Godwin put away his candy and crystal dragon, a faint smile on his face.
"I didn't expect you to be so dedicated. You are indeed worthy of being my believer."
Shen Jiang bowed his head respectfully: "This is what I should do. As long as you are satisfied."
Godwin glanced at those ordinary humans with complicated expressions and felt extremely happy in his heart. Now, he wanted to amplify this happiness again. Godwin chanted a low-level space spell in a low voice. Soon, the candy in his hand and the exquisite dragon statue disappeared into the air.
Beatrice was a bit surprised that this black dragon could even perform storage magic. You know, that's the stuff only powerful high-level magicians can do. Even the witch hasn't mastered it. This guy really has some skills.
Seeing that Godwin was about to leave, Shen Jiang said at the right time: "Lord Godwin."
"Why, do you have any more gifts?"
"No," Shen Jiang choked and gave a flattering smile, "I heard that today is the baptism day of Lord Kailan's son. I want to go with you."
Godwin had not expected that this was her idea.
No wonder she would specially give herself such a thoughtful gift. It turned out that this was her little trick to please herself.
Last year at Kailan's wedding, the silver dragon Perrin had suggested she attend, but he had used a black dragon scale to dissuade her from clinging to him. Unexpectedly, this year, not only had the believer not given up, but he had also taken the initiative and sent her a gift in advance. He probably had said something to her secretly the last time the silver dragon came.
Did she put so much thought into it just to attend the baptism ceremony of Kailan's eldest son with him?
The Black Dragon Godwin was greatly shocked.
I knew that she adored me to the point of being unable to control herself, but I never expected that it had reached this extent.
Godwin looked straight at his believer, and not surprisingly saw a warm expectation in his eyes. This was the second time that the believer had expressed her wishes so strongly, and each time, it was to please him and get closer to him.
Black Dragon's heart softened, and he suddenly didn't want to let those beautiful eyes dim. The words he was about to refuse eventually turned into: "When you get there, you must remember your identity."
Shen Jiang cheered up: "I will be careful with my words and actions and will never embarrass you."
"No, I'm asking you to stand up straight!" Godwin said angrily. "As my follower, you must maintain your arrogance! You must not show any sign of weakness. Anyone who dares to bully you is provoking me, and you must fight back fiercely! Don't forget, you are mine. If anything goes wrong, I will support you. No one is worthy of your bowing down to me!"
A question mark slowly appeared in Shen Jiang's heart. Goodwin's preferences were really unique.
Why did she have the illusion that he would rather see her do something?
Seeing that the believers seemed to understand and digest his words, Godwin simply spread his broad wings and flew into the sky on the wind.
Before Shen Jiang could react, a black figure in the sky swooped down and headed straight towards her.
Everyone's minds were racing, feeling as if they were about to be crushed to death. But faced with the sudden swooping giant, no one had time to react. Godwin's triangular claws gripped Shen Jiang's waist and abdomen, pulling him off the ground.
This was Shen Jiang's second time enjoying Godwin's flight service, but the last time it only lasted a few seconds, and this time it was indeed a long long journey.
Shen Jiang couldn't help but complain in her heart, why couldn't she ride on the top of the dragon like the protagonist in the TV series, but was instead swept into the air in such an awkward posture.
But I have to say, Godwin's powerful claws on his waist felt very safe.
It only took Shen Jiang a while to get used to this flying posture, but she felt a little dizzy and nauseous.
"Lord Godwin, don't we need to prepare some gifts for the baby in advance?" As soon as Shen Jiang opened her mouth, her mouth was filled with wind. She had to lower her head to avoid the airflow and roared with all her strength.
"A gift? What gift could be more prestigious than my presence?" Godwin almost sneered.
His followers seemed to not understand his position among the dragon clan.
*
This is the 346th day since Priest, the son of the blood clan, escaped from the dirty cage where he was imprisoned, and it is also the 345th day since he was outside looking for the witch.
Over the past year, he had tried every possible way to find the mysterious witch. But there was no news of her anywhere in this continent. She had vanished as if she had evaporated from the face of the earth, never to be seen again.
In addition to him, the royal family of the Rose Empire and members headed by Samantha's family are all looking for a black witch who is very similar to the one he is looking for, but it is said that they have also found nothing.
Before they found the black witch, Priest took the initiative and, on a dark and windy night, personally killed all the humans who had set a trap to capture him, including the Queen of the Rose Empire and the Samantha family behind her.
This action almost caused a coup in the empire. The Rose Empire had gone through the baptism of several old nobles, and the new queen was from the Chester family.
Since the new queen took the throne, no one has mentioned finding a black witch.
But none of this had anything to do with Priest; all his attention was focused on one person.
Priest always remembered that it was a sunny afternoon when he first experienced the wonderful potion that could overturn the fate of the entire vampire clan.
At first, his father, Dracula, didn't believe him at all. He'd been abducted and subjected to dark experiments, leaving him mentally unstable. But when he finally stood in the sunlight, bathed in its glaring rays, his father's mouth dropped open in disbelief, a look Priest would never forget. It was the first time he'd seen his father so distraught.
Priest used the remaining half of the potion on his father. Unlike his son, Dracula was born a vampire. Before becoming a vampire, he was human. Dracula never thought that he would be able to bask in the sun during his lifetime, just as he had never thought that the sunlight he was accustomed to would become the biggest threat to his life.
"Hahahahaha, Priest, the biggest enemy of vampires is sunlight. From now on, nothing can restrict our existence!" Dracula even decided to go to the lawn outside the castle to bask in the sun every day.
Unfortunately, the two vampires who were over a hundred years old soon couldn't laugh anymore.
They discovered that half a potion could only maintain their special state for one day. By the next day, their bodies would instinctively fear and resist the sun, and they would not have the courage to step into it.
As the king of the vampires, Dracula did not announce the potion, but ordered his son to set off immediately to find the black witch.
No matter what method is used, they must know how the potion in her hand is made. Perhaps there are more shocking secrets behind the black witch, and perhaps she has developed a potion that can make them no longer afraid of sunlight, but the first priority is to find her.
Because the Misty Forest was so vast, Priest searched every corner of the forest but couldn't find the black witch he was looking for. He had no choice but to start asking for information about the half-orc brother and sister and two human women that day. Fortunately, the information they provided was very clear, and finally he learned the story of the half-orc Ellis family in a small village outside the Misty Forest.
"You mean, the black witch cured the humans cursed by the devil?" Priest almost laughed out loud. The black witch originally had a mysterious aura to him, but he didn't expect that in the eyes of these ordinary people, her abilities were even more outstanding, almost no different from a god.
No wonder the orc called her the greatest witch in the world that day. It turned out that it was because she restored the orc's mother to health.
"That's right. Not only that, she also took away the Ellis family and their house. They disappeared overnight."
Priest couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He had finally found some information related to the black witch, but he didn't expect the clues to stop here again. Damn, how long would it take him to find this black witch of unknown origin?
Fortunately, there was still room for maneuver. Priest found out that there was an old hunter's daughter in the village, who was the orc's lover. She also disappeared with those people that day.
Priest specifically found the old hunter and asked him about the black witch.
"If you tell me the whereabouts of the black witch, I can reward you with a manor with dozens of servants." Priest looked at the ordinary human in front of him as if giving alms. For such a poor person, this temptation is definitely hard to refuse.
Unexpectedly, a sharp glint flashed in the old hunter's eyes. "No, I don't need any reward. I just need you to agree to one condition."
"Oh, greedy humans, I knew it..."
"If you can find my daughter, please bring her back to me. Tell her this is her home. We all miss her so much."
Priest's careless dark red eyes revealed a bit of confusion: What are the conditions?
Fortunately, the son of the blood clan got the most important clue in the past year from the old hunter.
"Before she left, Catherine came to say goodbye to us and said she was going home with the black witch. She also said that the black witch had raised a powerful black dragon."
"You said that there is a black dragon beside that witch?" Priest's expression suddenly became interesting.
As far as he knew, there seemed to be only one black dragon left in this world.
