The Journey of the Rainbow Dragon.

In the remote alleys of Longjing City, an irresistible dragon power is quietly spreading, like an invisible rope tightly wrapped around the hearts of every living being.

The air trembled slightly under the pressure, the birds quietly stopped singing, and the occasional creatures passing by crawled on the ground, holding their breath, as if the air around them had become heavy.

No one noticed.

In all this solemn atmosphere, there was a figure that seemed particularly out of place.

She was a beautiful girl who looked weak, and her slender body seemed like it would be crushed by the oppressive feeling at any time.

However, she stood straight with a faint smile on her face.

She clasped her arms across her chest with great interest, looking at the two parties in the tense atmosphere, as if she were in a theater, fully interested in this grand performance of nature.

"How interesting! A young golden dragon that has just been promoted actually has a trace of divine power?"

Elizabeth muttered to herself quietly, with a hint of amusement in her tone.

A breeze blew by, touching the girl's soft long hair and making it flutter in the wind.

The air currents around her seemed to be guided by something, dancing quietly with her, as if responding to her sigh.

But to the people around her, she didn't make any sound, just like a normal human girl who was frightened.

"Again, I'm enforcing the law, not playing around."

Tom's relaxed tone was no longer gentle.

The pair of pale golden pupils stared at the mercenaries in front of him, and his face was no longer relaxed as before, but with a hint of the majesty unique to the dragon race.
"You are all bad people, bad guys who should be tried!"

Feeling the invisible pressure from Tom, the mercenaries' muscles couldn't help but tense up, and the fear seemed to gradually spread along their spine to their entire bodies.

All the mercenaries finally realized that something was not right.

They subconsciously took a small step back, and two of them had already protected everyone in front of them and began to retreat quietly.

The tall mercenary who spoke earlier had beads of sweat on his forehead and whispered to his companions:
"There's something wrong with this boss kid...

The arrogance and contempt of the past disappeared at this moment, replaced by an unprecedented fear.

The scarred leader tried to remain calm and hide his uneasiness with a sneer:
"Why are you panicking? He's just a kid! I think you damn bastards have been playing with women too much lately, and your legs have become weak!"

"Why are you panicking? You're not afraid of anything! No matter how strong he is, he's just a kid. Let him bleed a little and he'll behave himself!"

Although his words seemed nonchalant, the sweat on his forehead had already revealed his inner thoughts.

"Gudu."

In such a quiet atmosphere, even the sound of the mercenaries swallowing their saliva was so deafening.

All the mercenaries' hands holding their knives were shaking slightly, but no one put them down.

Even in the face of such pressure, the mercenaries still held on to their weapons tightly, as if they were their last straw.

For a mercenary, throwing away his weapon is equivalent to giving up his life.

The preciousness of life is enough for them to fearlessly fight against any enemy in desperate situations. Even when facing gods, they will raise their weapons and bravely resist.

of course.

Being able to hold a weapon does not mean victory will belong to them.

Tom had no hesitation about these guys who were clearly prepared to resist arrest.

"Hah!"

With his roar
A golden light flashed, and two golden dragon wings soared into the sky, breaking free from the shackles of the black robe and bringing long-lost light to this dark alley.

Immediately after
A dragon-shaped shadow slowly spread over everyone's body. In front of the horrified eyes of the mercenaries, the small figure began to grow taller rapidly until it turned into a huge monster and then slowly stopped.

In just three seconds, Tom completed the transformation from a human child to a huge young golden dragon.

"call!--"

Don't give people time to react.

The young golden dragon, which was over six meters long, suddenly spread its wings, flapped twice and soared into the air, instantly gaining the advantage of high altitude.

And the moment he spread his wings and took off into the air, blazing flames poured out along with him.

[Breath of Fire]!
A three-meter-wide cone-shaped flame was like an invisible wall of fire, instantly engulfing several mercenaries on the periphery.

As a golden dragon that has just left the dragonfly stage, Tom cannot control his dragon breath well and perform various delicate operations like his parents.

His choice to attack from high altitude was a well-considered choice.

Although he could not accurately control the spread of the dragon's breath in his first actual combat, this dive attack could minimize accidental injuries.

He knew Elizabeth was on the ground, and he didn't want this beautiful human girl to be harmed by the dragon's breath.

So he chose to use dragon breath at high altitude to eliminate the mercenaries who were far away from Elizabeth.

This not only ensures that you will not get hurt, but also quickly weakens the opponent's ability to resist, while also preventing the "hostages" from getting hurt accidentally.

Don't think that Tom is being too cautious, and don't underestimate the power of human mercenaries.

As a small to medium-sized mercenary group with more than twenty members, the Scarface Mercenary Group is fully capable of taking on some tasks of driving away dragon beasts.

Although the standard weapons and armor they carried were not magical weapons, those sharp iron swords were more than enough to cut through the immature scales of the young dragon.

This is the essence of wisdom condensed by countless generations of craftsmen, and the foundation of survival forged in blood and fire.

Unfortunately, although the mercenaries have a weapon that can hurt Tom, they are completely unable to unleash its power.

because
【I can fly! 】

This simple advantage is enough to overturn the entire battle situation.

"Ah!" "Help!" "Boss, save me!"
The screams of the mercenaries mixed with the faint aroma of barbecue filled the dark alley.

Several people with fire snakes wrapped around their bodies rushed towards their colleagues around them, wailing wildly.

For a moment, the entire Scarface Mercenary Group began to run around like flies trapped in an oven, trying to leave the range of the fire, which directly disrupted the already precarious formation and completely lost the last bit of resistance.

Unfortunately, this is not an ordinary flame, but the breath of a golden dragon.

Until the mercenaries were completely burned to charcoal, the combustible substances produced by the dragon's basal blood vessels did not disappear, and it continued to burn for nearly half an hour before gradually going out.

During this time, Tom was like a cunning predator.

He used his high altitude advantage to continuously drop from the sky and launch attacks.

Relying on the golden dragon's high resistance to burning, Tom took advantage of the chaos in the crowd and quickly attacked those mercenaries who were not attacked by the breath while wrapped in flames.

Entanglement, bite, tail strike.
Although his movements were still a bit immature, Golden Dragon Tom, who was in actual combat for the first time, was getting familiar with the matter of "executing justice" at a speed visible to the naked eye, and was becoming more and more proficient at it.

Unlike the red dragons who like to fight head-on by swinging their strong arms and claws.

When the Golden Dragon is in its original form, it is better at using its snake-like body to conduct roundabout operations.

The golden dragons' innate terrifying muscle strength allows them to easily crush the bones of an entangled enemy or even strangle them, even if the enemy is a red dragon of the same age!
In fact

In the vast majority of cases where red dragons and golden dragons die in battle.

Nearly 90% of the red dragons that died were because the golden dragons entangled their bodies, dragged them into the ocean, and drowned them under the pressure of the sea water!
Figure:

As for why the golden dragon that also fell into the deep sea could survive.
(Jinlong: Sorry, I can breathe underwater)
"what"

"."

The battle was short-lived.

There is no doubt that this was a crushing victory for Golden Dragon Tom, both in terms of tactics and physical fitness.

Soon, the screams gradually disappeared.

Seventeen human mercenaries, including the scarred leader, and six orc mercenaries all died in the flames.

"Crack."

From time to time, the crisp sound of oil being burned by the flames could be heard in the raging fire.

The rich aroma of meat floats in the air, as if a lively barbecue party is being held.

Unfortunately, the only two guys left present were not very interested in the meat of intelligent species.

"Huhu."

Tom slowly loosened his spiral body and let the purple-faced body of the scarred mercenary leader fall to the ground, while he breathed heavily to recover his lost strength.

Tom finally breathed a sigh of relief after ensuring that all the lawbreakers were dead.

He succeeded, and the first "fishing enforcement" ended perfectly.

After returning home, he finally had a story to share with his sister, a story about courage and justice.

This was the first time that Tom fought without his parents to help him out, so he was very satisfied with his results.

Although he made a lot of unnecessary movements during the battle and wasted a lot of physical energy.

But the flaws do not hide the virtues.

For a young golden dragon, knowing how to use the advantages of flying and guerrilla warfare techniques is enough to show that Tom has excellent combat IQ.

And
If nothing unexpected happens, he still has thousands of years to slowly perfect his fighting skills.

"almost."

After feeling the dragon breath substance in the basal blood vessels in the body filling up again.

Tom then let down his guard, turned back into a little boy, and came in front of the noble girl who seemed to be "scared silly".

Tom raised his head, gave the girl he had saved a smile that he thought was very warm, and asked with concern:

"Big sis, are you okay?"

Elizabeth looked at the little golden dragon with tiny blood beads on his face, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth:

[This little guy, doesn't he understand how scary his current appearance is?]

[That's right, if it were a real human girl, she would have fainted from the fear of that "cruel smile".]

Seeing Elizabeth staring at his face, he continued to "shiver" and hug his shoulders without saying anything.

Tom, who thought that the other party was frightened by his killing spree just now, laughed foolishly and explained quickly:
"Don't be afraid, big sister. I am a golden dragon and I won't hurt you."

"really?"

The beautiful girl in front of him blinked her amber eyes and looked at the young boy Jinlong in front of her innocently, as if he was really a girl next door who was not very worldly-wise.

For a moment, even Tom was stunned by that unique beauty.

[What a beautiful big sister]

[I really want to punish evil and promote good with her]

Tom's dragon eyes widened, and it took him a long time to recover from the state of enchantment.

Thinking back to the dirty thoughts that popped up in his mind just now, Tom's face instantly turned red like a red dragon.

"Damn it, Tom, how could you treat a frightened human girl like this!"

【Just a thought】

"No! You can't even think about it!"

After severely condemning his evil self in his heart, Tom finally came to his senses.

Seeing that Elizabeth seemed to be still waiting for his answer, Tom patted his chest and nodded repeatedly:
"really!"

"Don't worry, by the great Bahamut, Tom swears that he has never told a lie to Big Sister."

Elizabeth's lips curled up into a subtle arc:

"Really? That's great. I was probably frightened by the flying blood just now. My legs are weak now~~~"

Hearing this, Tom scratched his head and said with some shame:

"Sorry, I haven't learned illusion magic yet."

"But I promise that after I learn it, you, big sister, will never see the bloody scene again."

"but."

Tom looked down at Elizabeth's long, straight legs wrapped in black stockings.

Although he didn't see any signs of trembling, Tom decided to take on the responsibility of escorting the big sister away.

After all, she said something like "my legs are weak."

How could Tom, who is full of justice, leave a weak and pitiful human woman alone in this dark alley?

"otherwise"

Tom scratched his head: "Sister, let me take you home."

Hearing this, Elizabeth's eyes flashed with a light.

The corners of the scarlet lips slowly curled up:
"Okay, thank you then, my cute little brother. Your actions just now were really cool~~"

"Hey, is there? Hey, it's my first time too."

Tom, who was praised, smiled a little embarrassedly and said:
"Well, my name is Tom Bruce Azeroth. Big sister, you can just call me Tom. That's what my friends all call me."

"Yeah."

Elizabeth nodded, then smiled playfully: "So, Mr. Tom, when are we leaving?"

"Any time, ma'am."

Tom straightened up unconsciously and answered.

The aura was like that of a knight who had sworn to protect the princess.

Just considering his height, the knight armor might only need to be worn on the upper body to cover his body.

[Guardian Knight? Hmm, that sounds good.]

[Anyway, I just ran away and I don't have a clear destination. Maybe the first stop of my adventure journey can start from this big sister's house? Of course, she has to be able to afford the cost of hiring me. ]

【5 units of gold coins per year? 】

He pinched his chin and fell into thought:

[Isn't that too expensive? If I'm protecting a big sister, a lower hiring price is acceptable. ]

At this moment, Tom has already drawn a blueprint for his future.

He even began to fantasize about the good times he would spend with the "human girl" in front of him.

Although for gold dragons, human women are not the best choice of partners - their lifespan is too short, which is undoubtedly a painful choice for gold dragons who are loyal to monogamy.

But Tom firmly believes that as long as there is love, interfering factors such as race and life span will not be a problem.

“No big deal”

Tom thought, "Let her enter her father's kingdom at the end of her life."

Then, I can spend eternity with her.

He imagined that kind of eternal companionship, and a warm sweetness rose in his heart.

"By the way, big sister, you haven't told me where your home is. I can't wait to set off for the next stop."

Tom asked excitedly, his eyes showing pure anticipation.

Elizabeth smiled, with a sly gleam in her eyes, as if a cat had caught a mouse. Her voice floated softly in the air like the soft morning light:
"Okay."

Poor Tom.

He had no idea what kind of person he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.

"Okay."

Elizabeth smiled slightly, with a sly gleam in her eyes, as if a cat had caught a mouse.

Her voice was like the soft morning light, floating gently in the air:

"My sister's home is right here."

Elizabeth deliberately slowed down her tone, and her charming voice was like the prelude to some kind of music.

the other side

Tom's ears immediately pricked up and he waited attentively for the next words.

He thought to himself that perhaps he would spend the next few decades there, so he must remember it clearly.

"at."

Elizabeth's red lips slowly opened, like blooming petals, making it impossible to look away.

Tom looked at her in fascination until a voice sounded in his ears.

"at"
