40, Winnie(1/2)
The entrance to the underground city.
Beautiful paintings of the sky overlook the adventurers coming and going.
Inlaid in the corner of the ceiling mural is a very small blue gemstone that is not easily noticed, emitting a slight brilliance.
…
"This is not good, Ouranos."
A voice sounded in the darkness.
This is a stone hall that looks like a temple.
The only light source, the torch, swayed and cut through the darkness.
On the stone altar in the center, a figure covered in black clothes stared intently at the crystal placed on the pedestal.
In front of him, what appeared in the darkness under the light of the fire was a huge stone throne, and a huge old god sitting on it.
The crystal on the pedestal gave off a faint light, and several figures at the entrance to the dungeon were clearly reflected in it.
The black-haired young man, the blond-haired girl, the ice-blue-haired woman, and the people they brought with them who were covered in jumpsuits... The scene reflected by the crystal focused on them, extremely clear.
"The sane monster has come into contact with the adventurers. They are now leaving the Tower of Babel." The man in black robe said.
"Did they take the monster away by force?" the old god, who was over two meters tall, asked with a sculpture-like expression.
"No, I'm not sure...it looks like he's protecting her."
"Who are those people, Fels?"
The man in black named Fels replied:
"The leader's name is Lu Ye. He comes from outside Orario. He has not joined any Familia yet. It is said that he defeated two lv.5 adventurers not long ago, so he has become famous in the city. Many Familia
They all want to win over him."
"No favor?" The old god narrowed his golden eyes.
"Yes."
"It's really interesting that people who are not from Orario can defeat adventurers above level 5 without favors." A look of nostalgia suddenly appeared in the old god's eyes, "This reminds me of a long time ago, before we went down to the next world.
Before the Tower of Babel was built, the scene of people without grace fighting off monsters..."
"That was a long time ago, what should I do now?"
"Just wait and see what happens." The old god closed his eyes quietly.
"Is this okay? If a rational monster is exposed to people's eyes...if something goes wrong, I'm afraid they will regret it."
"Just go and confirm whether they are the 'hunters' we are tracking." The old god said, "But I think the problem shouldn't be big."
"I understand, Ouranos, just obey your will."
The brilliance of the crystal dimmed.
In the quiet stone hall, the black clothes were flicked, and the figure disappeared into the depths of darkness.
…
In the evening, it is the time when most adventurers return.
The central square of the Tower of Babel was overcrowded.
In order to hide their eyes from others, Lu Ye and his party quickly left the central square after saying goodbye to Bell, heading towards the hotel through back alleys and other sparsely populated roads. The bustling pubs and pedestrians... The din and lights flooding the entire city made Long
The girl jumped up in shock several times. Fortunately, Lu Ye grabbed her robe in time, otherwise the monster's characteristics would have been revealed without reservation in front of everyone.
There were no dangers along the way, and several people successfully arrived at the hotel.
Lock the door and draw the curtains.
Violet took off the hood from the dragon girl's head.
Lu Ye carefully looked at the dragon girl in front of him again.
The dragon girl didn't say anything, she just hugged Violet's right arm tightly and shrank behind her. Her gorgeous, rose-red vertical pupils were staring at Lu Ye without showing any aggression.
What showed in his eyes was a mixture of fear and curiosity.
He has the body of a monster, but also has human emotions?
Gee, so weird...
However, Lu Ye did not forget his purpose.
The dragon girl in front of me is probably one of the clues to find the fragments.
"Who are you, where do you come from, and where are you going?"
As soon as he came up, Lu Ye gave three major philosophical questions in life.
On the way back he had confirmed that this guy could talk.
Although she doesn’t know who taught her this language, but since she can speak, communication shouldn’t be a problem.
Dragon Girl seemed to understand the question, but she just shook her head, as if to express that she didn't know.
Luye asked some simple questions, such as whether he had a name or something.
But the dragon girl denied them all.
"You don't even have a name..."
Lu Ye began to think.
If it was the fragment that gave her sanity, it would be possible.
Just like the monster in the novel that absorbs the essence of heaven and earth to give birth to intelligence...
However, the system did not pop up any prompts. Although the progress bar of "Back to the World" increased, it was not significant.
This time it’s an obtuse angle…
"This guy looks very scared, let's let her calm down first." Esdeath suggested.
"That's right. Please, please and Violet, please take care of her injuries carefully." Lu Ye said, "I'll go to the 'Lady of Plenty' to pack some food back."
"good."
By the time Lu Ye came back with the food, the dragon girl had already taken a bath, had bandages on all the wounds on her body, and had put on clothes. It seemed that she felt a little uncomfortable and curious about putting on clothes, and kept asking
He gently pulled the fabric on his body with his hands. If the clothes were not of good quality, his sharp claws might have made a hole.
There is an extra "person" in the house.
Of course, Lu Ye didn't forget to bring an extra piece of food, although he didn't know if Long Nu would eat this.
When he placed the steaming food in front of Dragon Girl, he twitched his nose and smelled it, and then clear liquid was left at the corner of his mouth... Then she lay directly on the table, covering her face like a feline.
Eating in a basin.
It seems that the dragon girl doesn't hate human food.
Lu Ye and Esdeath silently picked up their portions of food to prevent the splashed food from flying into the bowl.
Only Violet takes good care of the dragon girl.
She gently took the bowl full of oil and food from Long Nu's mouth, and helped Long Nu wipe her oil-stained face. The latter's eyes moved as the bowl moved, with a pitiful look on her face.
She showed a longing for food, and it looked like she hadn't eaten for some time.
"You should eat with a spoon or fork so that your face and clothes will not be stained. Come on, open your mouth and say 'Ah' to me."
The girl corrected the dragon girl's habits while feeding her with a spoon.
The latter was also very obedient, sitting on the chair obediently, opening his mouth wide, enjoying the feeling of opening his mouth with food.
"This kid really knows how to take care of people." Esdeath said in Luye's ear.
"yes……"
Looking at this scene, Lu Ye suddenly felt a little warm in his heart.
Once upon a time, he fed Violet food like this and taught her how to use chopsticks.
And now this girl who was once taught how to use tableware by him is now teaching others.
Time flies so fast.
After dinner, everyone rested in the room.
Lu Ye was thinking about how to deal with this dragon girl.
She may have something to do with the fragment and that's why she brought it back.
But I can't tell you anything now.
Esdeath suddenly thought of a question.
"If there is no name, then how should we call her?"
"I don't know, give me a name." Lu Ye said, "Violet, since you discovered her, this task will be left to you!"
To be continued...
