"Ugh... Sure enough, it won't work this time either?"
Lin lay dejectedly on the ground in the forest, a pair of golden wings flapping feebly behind her back. She raised her hand, and what appeared in front of her eyes seemed to be the furry front paws of some kind of cat.
"It's not bad." Hailancia's voice came from behind, with a clear smile, "At least it's much better than the three-headed monster yesterday~"
"Actually, I think the three-headed monster is pretty cool." Hughes added fuel to the fire, "Especially the ogre's head in the middle!"
Lin secretly raised her head, aimed at Hughes's position, and then quietly took a breath.
A golden flame as thick as a finger spewed out of her mouth and went straight to where the Yit people were. Hughes hurriedly managed to get out of the way - Lin was sure that he was pretending to be like this on purpose. She closed her mouth, burning hot
The breath rolled back into her lungs, choking her and causing her to cough and shed tears.
"I've told you not to use humanoid spitting, now you know the consequences, right?" Hughes said with a smile, "Besides, this behavior is not ladylike at all. If you have time, learn from your sister Yinyue!"
I am not a lady to begin with, Lin thought angrily and amusedly. And Hylanthia is not even one, right? Compared to these two bad guys who laugh at me all day long, Yuffie is much better. Last time I heard
She has already met her mother. I wonder when she will receive her letter again?
"Anyway, it's been a hard day today." Helencia peeled open an orange, stuffed two pieces into her mouth, then sat next to Lin and slowly fed it to her. "Take a rest, don't forget the physical pain just now
It feels so good.”
She nodded and tried to remember the flow of magic power and body sensations that were fed back from various parts of her body when she tried to change forms. Of course, the parts that were successful - or that met her requirements needed to be focused on remembering, and those that failed
The position... Anyway, there are not only 100 but also 80 ways to go wrong. Just try a different method next time.
"I didn't expect this method to be really feasible." Hughes came bounding over and squatted down in front of her. About five weeks ago, this Yit man appeared out of nowhere and joined in the daily laughter.
'Her team. "I said, little witch, how about I go find that dragon to get more blood and form a dragon army - a dragon army, it sounds great!"
"How can such a good thing happen?" Helencia threw a piece of orange at Hughes's face, watching him grab it in one mouthful and swallow it with a playful smile. "She has suffered a lot. If she has less willpower,
Humans can’t even complete the transformation, let alone the current training.”
Lin nodded vigorously, expressing her agreement with Hylancia's words - and by the way, she despised Hughes's whims. She still clearly remembered the feeling when she was first "transformed", as if every part of her body was cut into pieces.
Thin slices, slowly crushed, and then re-kneaded into completely different shapes.
Anyway, she won't be afraid of any pain in the future. In fact, she harmed many creatures in the academy - such as those mutated ornamental fish. Maybe this is retribution? Lin comforted herself in this way.
"That's right." Hughes seemed to suddenly realize, "You were taught by the old guy Fanka and are a witch who specializes in studying magical creatures. Although you don't look like it at all." He coughed twice and pretended not to see Lin.
Staring at him, "Seriously, unlike dragons, which are naturally magical creatures, all human body movements rely on nerves throughout the body. If you accidentally miss one, you can become a disabled person.
!By the way, there are also various glands that ensure the normal operation of the body, and the brain tissue used to regulate them. If you want to live as a human for a long time, these must be perfect——"
Sure enough, at least seven and a half of the ten Yit people are talkative, Lin secretly cursed. But since Hughes came here and started making various jokes, the atmosphere suddenly became much lighter. Originally, every practice failed.
Finally, the physical discomfort and a little fear in the mind were also shaken away by this guy's ridicule.
Moreover, Hughes's attainments in occult arts are exaggeratedly high - according to Lin's experience, in terms of application and some skills alone, he is not even weaker than Dean Eagle. He can always see clearly the reasons for his own failures, and
Give targeted suggestions. The only problem is that this Yite person really doesn't make her respect him.
"Understood." She raised her eyebrows at Hughes, "But it's so difficult... Not only must the appearance be correct, but also the magic power must be carefully controlled to form all the structures in the body... It will take hundreds of years for a real dragon to be familiar with these...
"
"So when you succeed, you will be the first to complete the transformation in the young dragon stage. Maybe you can be recorded in the Dragon Clan's Hall of Fame." Hiranthia took over with a smile, "Okay, let's do it again.
There was nothing wrong with the body and head just now. How about trying other parts this time?"
"I think the claws are quite cute, and the wings on the back are also great!" Hughes said, "Of course the best thing is the ogre's head!"
She rolled her eyes at Hughes, immersed her mind in her body again, slowly mobilized her magic power, and began to try again.
…
As the sun sets, twilight returns to the Moon Song City in early autumn. Vendors who have not yet gone out of business push carts filled with various handicrafts and walk along the stone-paved streets while humming the songs of the Elna people.
.The two squirrels were playing with each other, passing under the feet of pedestrians, and then climbed up the dense canopy of trees, hiding in the dim light.
Lin returned to her baby dragon form, flapping her wings and flying over the heads of pedestrians. For half a month, the residents of Moonsong City were familiar with this cute little dragon, but only a few people knew her original identity. A few seemed to
The travelers who were travelers saw her, and one of them shouted loudly and waved to her, and she responded with a crisp short cry.
She still lives on the third floor of the "Guild" and is rarely disturbed by people. Young people who want to explore the living environment of the "Dragon Clan" are politely turned back by the receptionist Allen. However, today,
When she opened the door to her room, she found someone sitting in the room whom she had not seen for several years but who was extremely familiar.
Compared with the memory before leaving home, her mother seemed thinner, but her energy was much better than then. Lin only saw her mother's current dress when she was a child. Only her mother at that time would take her with her.
Running around, climbing mountains, climbing trees, going down rivers, and playing all kinds of interesting games. Ever since she fell ill, her mother rarely went out, and her personality seemed to have changed, becoming gentle and quiet. But in Lin's heart,
She is the one she likes best now, the real mother.
She ran towards him in small steps, and was hugged by a warm body.
"So cute - you look a lot older, but it reminds me of what you looked like when you were a child." Annaweir said something that made her cheeks heat up, while stroking her back, "When was the last time you saw a dragon?
It happened years ago... As expected, the younger ones are more lovable than the older ones——"
Lin struggled to break free from the woman's arms, took a few deep breaths, and then began to change - only the head part. At the end of the day, she was able to skillfully take back the head that originally belonged to 'Lin', and keep the other parts as they were.
.This is Hughes's suggestion. Let her get familiar with each part separately before trying the overall change. Practice has proved that the effect is not bad.
Although it looks a bit weird...but who cares?
"Mother... your illness has been cured?" She looked at her energetic mother, her heart filled with joy, almost glowing from her eyes, "Is it Yuffie? How did she do it?
?”
"You guys really are." Annaville smiled and touched her head, "I will tell you the specific process later. Well, first of all, this."
The woman took out a sealed letter from the small bag she was carrying, opened it carefully, and handed it to Lin. Lin leaned over and saw her familiar, neat and soft handwriting.
"Lovely Lin:
I have left Winterfell and am continuing to travel north along the empire. I plan to go to Breezewood where the Elnar people are, to visit the ancient palace that my mother once entered. It is said that even she has not yet fully understood the secrets there.
Xie Ming, I think it will definitely be an interesting adventure.
Before that, we - Lily, Alphonse, Bell and I - need to spend some time raising travel expenses for the next leg of the journey. The life of the mercenary group is not stable, but you can see the scenery across the continent. It is interesting.
The sad thing is that none of us thinks about saving money or what we will do in the future.
Lily said that her team will never disband until it becomes number one in the mainland. This may sound a bit idealistic, but we are all still young, and some dreams are probably not bad.
There is a place for you in the group. If you are ready, just pick a time to surprise me.
Help me say hello to Ms. Silvermoon, Dean Collens, Mr. Ikaroa, and others who have cared for us.
——Your best friend, Yuffie』
"It's really like the letter she knows how to write, so old-fashioned." Lin tilted her head and muttered to herself, "Both the dean and Feist went south to investigate, but there was someone who indirectly caused us misfortune.
Jilai, do you want to scold him for you?"
Of course she was referring to Hughes. However, even though she knew that he was Cullen's "accomplice", she couldn't feel much hatred at all. Why was this? Lin herself couldn't explain.
Perhaps she was never able to connect the escaped Et with the "murderer" who killed Caitlin's mentor. She once asked Hughes and Halancia out of curiosity about the disbandment of "The Brigade"
The reason, and Hughes' purpose of assisting Cullen. However, the two people who were usually close friends with her were unwilling to mention that past history.
"I will tell you one day." At that time, Helencia looked away and whispered to her, "When you have enough willpower to face those things."
A hand shook back and forth in front of her eyes, bringing her wandering thoughts back to the original place, "Is it hard?"
Lin nodded slightly.
"Do you regret it?"
"Of course not!" She shook her head vigorously.
"Well..." Annaville pursed her lips and thought for a moment, "If I were to go back to the past and give you another chance, would you make the same choice?"
"Probably..." Lin thought seriously, "There is a one percent chance that I will back down, right?"
Annaville laughed out loud, "This is my daughter." She sat down next to Lin, side by side, "How Yuffie cured me is a somewhat tortuous story. Be mentally prepared.
Yet."
A smile broke out on Lin's face.
"Of course," she said, "That's my mother, isn't it?"
