Sure enough, creatures like green dragons are completely untrustworthy. Lily cursed like this and turned into a swift in the air, flying in the direction she came from at lightning speed.
She counted the time silently in her mind. Three minutes passed quickly. Just when the female mercenary was worried that the device would fail, a violent storm followed with a suffocating heat wave, sweeping her up in an instant.
She was like a small boat in the stormy waves, floating back and forth in the storm. From time to time, hot sand and earth slapped on her back, sending waves of burning pain and the smell of burnt feathers. She struggled to maintain her balance.
, walking through the storm as fast as possible, avoiding the branches of trees in front, and being careful not to be hit by dead trees and branches flying in the sky.
Fortunately, although Swift's form is small, she still retains her physical qualities as a demigod. Otherwise, just the scorching air around her that is close to the temperature of boiling water would be enough to make a normal person lose consciousness quickly.
After an unknown amount of time - maybe only a few minutes, but it was a long time for Lily - the storm surrounding her finally slowly weakened. The female mercenary breathed a sigh of relief, shook off the dust from her wings, and slowed down slightly.
Speed, returning to the open space where they camped before.
A light blue curtain was erected on the south side of the camp, blocking out the incoming storm wind and most debris - it was obviously the work of the agency. The first person to catch her sight was Alphonse, who was alone
Standing on the outside of the curtain, looking at the direction of her return, there was clearly identifiable concern in his expression.
She stopped lightly on the machine man's shoulder, then transformed back into her human form and sat directly on the other man's shoulder, "We're back safely, Al."
"I believe you will be fine, Lilinonuo." The agent raised his face and looked at her seriously, "So, you succeeded, right?"
"It's your credit, most of it." Lily jumped to the ground, held Al's arm, turned her head, and looked in the direction she came from -
The originally gloomy sky seemed to have been completely broken, and the storm dispersed the thick clouds, allowing the sunlight to shine on this cold land again. The rancid smell in the air had dissipated, and was replaced by a faint burning breath.
However, the scorching heat was dissipating at a visible speed. Lily sniffed hard, hoping to find a trace of the fragrance of snow and pine trees in her memory, but unfortunately she still ended up disappointed.
The clear sky also only lasted for a moment. But after a while, the thick clouds and fog came back, once again blocking the light from the sky. The storm slowly subsided, and dead branches and wood chips were scattered all over the ground, which looked very desolate.
The female mercenary took a few deep breaths to calm herself down. "Where is the green stone?" she asked.
"I'm here." Bi Fei Shi, who transformed into a human form, stepped forward, "I've done what I promised you, can I leave now? - I've been here for too long, and I don't want to see you again for the time being.
This is a gloomy forest."
"There is one more thing." She stared at the green dragon's face, "Tell us everything you know about the cliff to the east. Don't forget, the smoother things go here, the better the chance of helping you kill the black dragon.
The bigger it gets."
The green dragon snorted and raised his chin towards Lily, "Ask me about everything. Is your brain growing on the sole of your foot?" He shook his head pretending to be indifferent, "Go and see for yourself what's going on there.
, you will understand.”
"Is it okay to tell the truth that you don't know?" Lily broke through his disguise mercilessly, "Forget it, we don't feel at ease leaving you here - don't forget, if you cause any trouble outside
Come on, you will have to reap the consequences, right?"
"I have my own sense of proportion." After Bi Fei Shi said this, he ignored Lily. He transformed back into the form of a giant dragon, rose into the air, circled around the crowd for half a week, flapped his emerald green wings vigorously, and headed toward the forest.
The edge goes away.
"He's gone." Elio said with some regret, "Actually, he is a good person... No, he is a good dragon."
"In that case, how about you just go and be his follower?" Elena said amusingly, "We don't have to bother with a black dragon."
"This is not possible!" the young knight immediately objected, "I want to become a dragon knight, how can I be a servant of a dragon instead!"
Lily didn't care much about what kind of evaluation the green dragon received from her companions. The dragon was indeed not too bad, nor could it be called kind, but that didn't matter. To her, the green dragon was with her on the journey.
Like the countless people I come into contact with, I am just a passer-by in life.
She took the agency man's hand and walked towards the lake, "Come with us to see what it looks like over there, Al."
The two walked slowly through the forest. The noise of Elio and Bell behind them was gradually absorbed by the pine forest, leaving only silence. There was still some residual warmth in the air, and Lily understood that it was the aftermath of the explosion of the core.
Warmth, as time passes, will also turn into nothingness.
They came to the lake. From here they looked towards the center of the lake. The thick fog that had always covered the lake was no longer there. The turbid lake water was slowly clarifying, and it seemed that it would calm down soon. Lily knelt down and picked up a handful with both hands.
Lake water, stretched out his tongue and licked it gently.
The lake water is no longer mixed with the magic power of corruption, but it is not as clean and delicious as in the memory, but has the smell of death that seems to have been left there for hundreds of years.
She failed to return the lake to its original state, but only made it "what the forest looks like now." So, how did Huruman Stark transform the entire forest into what it is today?
What's more, he has to fight against nearly a hundred "living gods" at the same time, as well as other powerful beings living in the forest.
That was a power she could not imagine - Lily suddenly realized that perhaps the doppelgänger she saw calling himself 'Earl Stark' and the mastermind in the 'Gray War' had some key connections from the beginning.
of difference.
"Al, do you think we can do it?" She asked a little uneasily, while holding the agency man's hand tightly, "Let our hometown... return to the way we remember it?"
This time, the agent did not give a direct answer in the affirmative. As a secret creature driven by reason, he can have feelings, but 'white lies' still seem a bit difficult - in fact, Lily doesn't need that either.
"I don't know, Lilinonuo." He said seriously, obviously after some thought, "If I can't do it, Lilinonuo, will you be sad?"
"Probably... you will be angry, right? Angry about why we can't do things that a mere human can accomplish." Lily shook her head and expressed her true thoughts, "Then we have to continue to work hard, or find someone else to do it."
More partners, if this continues, we will be able to achieve it one day?"
"This is the Lilinonuo I know." Alphonse showed a gentle smile, "In this case, I have to work hard to train myself so that I can better help you."
That's right. It may take years, decades, or even longer to achieve that goal - but they have time, and they have partners to move forward together.
She turned around, pulled Alphonse, and walked briskly, "Let's go, there is still half of the bet with Jill, don't keep everyone waiting."
