The Journey of the Rainbow Dragon.

Chapter 9 The Dragon and the Maiden [edit]

"Please take the test"

Under the gaze of the old man in gray robe, John stepped onto the pure white summoning platform.

He first saluted to the gray-robed old man, and then bowed to the teachers in the audience. The judges and teachers looked at him expressionlessly and did not make any movements.

"Ding dong!"

John stood at the stone bowl next to the large magic circle, which was a special place for summoners to place summoning materials. He took out his own summoning materials from his right pocket and put a fire magic core into it.

With the input of the magic power source, the summoning platform also shimmered red.

The red light spot is like an elf, constantly spinning and dancing around the magic circle.

It needs to be mentioned here that the spell of summoning the magic circle was originally a seven-ring magic, but was later simplified by a great magister who spent his entire life.

As long as the simplified version of the summoning circle is combined with the secondary magic circle, anyone with magic power, including magic apprentices, can successfully summon monsters of a similar class to themselves.

This astonishing move shocked the entire Karen continent and changed the learning direction of all magicians and magic schools. Because it can greatly increase the combat power of low-level magicians, the kingdom stipulates that all magicians must master this spell.

Just like the 0-ring trick - the hand of the mage.

John began to build a secondary magic circle. The fire magic core slowly melted into several slender red magic lines in the container, flying through the air, and a secondary summoning circle composed of more than 30 hexagrams slowly emerged.

"Om-"

As the magic circle gradually completed, beads of sweat gradually appeared on John's head.

Constructing a magic circle requires a lot of calculations in the brain. Drawing the lines of the magic circle with magic power must be done once without interruption, otherwise the construction will fail and the magic core will dissipate.

This will consume a lot of energy and mana, and many magic apprentices fail at this step.

Although there were beads of sweat dripping from the forehead of the young man on the summoning platform, his expression was very relaxed.

Obviously, John is not an ordinary person. He usually practiced this step in private with the help of the city defense officer's father.

Hook, skim, horizontal, slide
He is like an elegant painter, using magic as the ink and spirit as the pen to make thousands of twists and turns in the air.

Various runes, mysterious symbols and geometric shapes are all densely engraved into the spell model under the control of the magic lines.

As the buzzing sound became louder, a bright halo of fire element hung in the air, which represented that he had successfully constructed a secondary magic circle.

Next, you only need to combine the secondary magic circle with the large summoning circle, read out the content of the contract, and wait for the Warcraft to approve the contract.

There are generally two types of summoning contracts, the master-servant contract and the equality contract.

As the name suggests, the master-servant contract is a contract in which the calling party unconditionally enslaves the summoned party, and the master can control the life and death of the servant at any time.

Most of the people who signed this kind of contract were low-level elemental creatures without intelligence, and intelligent monsters would never agree to become others' slaves.

The contract of equality is the opposite. Both parties to the contract cannot harm each other, but they will not force the summoned party to act.

Generally, the summoner gives the summoned monsters the items they need, and the monsters choose whether to make a move based on the tribute. This is an employment relationship.

John chose a master-servant contract.

With the output of Crimson's magic power, the magic vortex is running faster and faster. While waiting for the magic beast to agree to the contract, the summoner must always consume magic power to maintain the magic circle. If the magic power is not enough to operate the magic circle, the contract will also fail.

Apparently, John had good luck today.

Less than 3 minutes had passed.

"call!"

A spherical creature burning with flames walked out of the magic vortex with a hot breath.

【Contract established】

An old voice sounded in John's mind, and he stood up excitedly. The fire element is already relatively strong in the life of the first-order element, and the score of this exam has been stabilized.

"Very good, the first-order elemental creature 'Fire Element', go to the rest area to communicate with your new friends."

The gray-robed old man watched John leave expressionlessly, and then announced that the next student would be on stage.

The three teachers sitting under the stage were also discussing the summoning scores in whispers.

"It takes 3 minutes, since the fire element is summoned, how about a score of 7?"

"You forgot the one his father gave you."

"Well, let's give it a 9. It's too conspicuous to give a full score of 10. It's not good if it's too high."

"Alright."

The gray-robed old man on the stage cast a glance at the three of them and didn't say much.

No one can eavesdrop on a mage's conversation unless he is far above the speaking mage's rank.

John took his fire element and walked towards the rest area, but looked straight at the figure sitting in the back row on the podium.

Vivienne noticed something, and turned her head to meet John's gaze.

John grinned at her, opened his mouth wide, and said something silently.

The small callused hands clenched the first-order magic core again.

The more than 60 magic apprentices present at the scene ranged from a few seconds to 5 minutes, and they all finished their exams relatively quickly. After all, their magic power was not enough to support the magic circle for too long.

The three teachers discussed with each other below and graded them, and each quill floated out of thin air to grade each student.

Mage Hand: 0-ring cantrip, can lift objects up to 5 pounds.

The rest area next to it was gradually filled with strangely shaped summoned creatures.

The fire element, water element, and wind element are the most three-element creatures, followed by some first-order creatures of warcraft: fire rats, ground bugs, stinger bees and so on.

These monsters who just came to the main plane seemed a little flustered, which required the summoner to appease them, and it was also an important step to enhance their relationship.

【You can always trust your summoned beast. ——Elise]

"Next, Vivienne"

"exist!"

Vivienne hurriedly got up, raised her little wet hands, and trotted all the way up to the summoning platform.

Some students in the audience were discussing for a while, nothing more than some familiar words.

In fact, many people have a good impression of this gentle classmate, but who made the son of the city defense officer fall in love with her.

In this frontier town.

Except for the Academy of Magic, that city defense officer is the uncrowned king, and no one dares to disobey his orders.

If you make him unhappy and arrest you for fornicating the beastman kingdom, who do you turn to for reason?

It is in response to the old saying: "The referee and the coach are all my people, what do you use to fight me?"

After saluting the teachers, Vivian put the wind magic core into the container with trembling hands.

She looked to the side, and the gray-robed teacher smiled and nodded at her, indicating that the summoning could begin.

Taking a deep breath, Vivian cheered herself up in her heart.

"Believe in yourself, Vivian, you are the best. You have been preparing for so long, isn't it just for this moment? You will definitely be able to successfully summon!"

Perhaps it was because of eating the bag of honey cakes, her trembling hands gradually calmed down.

Taking a deep breath, Vivian closed her eyes.

The cyan magic line began to be drawn, and proceeded silkily along the route that had been simulated countless times in my mind.

First node, second, third.
The first layer of magic line, the second layer, the third layer
"slower."

"Slow down."

"Remember Teacher Carroll's words, you must output magic power smoothly, don't be impatient"

------

At the same time, in the distant elemental plane of fire, an iridescent dragon is having a passionate "confrontation" with the succubus queen.

he was anxiously thinking
"faster!"

"Hurry up!"

"There is no time!!!"

------

Beads of sweat began to appear on the small wings of the nose, and Vivienne had no time to take care of them. The magic power in her body continued to output, and the magic circle was gradually completed.

"Om-"

Although it was very reluctant, a leaf-like wind element symbol successfully emerged in the air.

A gleam of joy flashed in Vivienne's eyes, but she soon calmed down.

A walker takes a hundred steps, half 99.

Never fall before the dawn of victory!
The slowly rotating wind elemental runes flew towards the big magic circle under Vivienne's control.

"It must be successful!"

"For Liya, for the teacher, and for freedom"

"I must not fail!"

The pale green light shone on her earnest little face, as if a gentle hand was gently stroking her face.

As the magic vortex slowly appeared, Vivienne began to sing the contract declaration.

She chose an equal contract. Compared to summoning a slave, she hopes to have an equal exchange relationship with the other party.

Vivienne doesn't have many friends now, so even if it is an elemental creature, she is eager to have someone to confide in.

No one knew how much pressure she was under, and John's naked eyes looking at her made her sit on pins and needles. She was sure what would happen to her if the summoning failed.

"Warcraft from another world, in accordance with the law of the God of Contract, are you willing to form an equal contract with me?"

After reading the contents of the contract softly, Vivian looked at the summoning circle and said the last incantation.

"I will do my best to accommodate your request."

The moment after reading the contract, the magic vortex that was originally slowly rotating seemed to be hit hard by something.

"boom!"

A huge impact echoed in the summoning classroom.

The students and teachers in the audience turned their gazes here, looking at the twisted vortex with confusion.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The continuous impact sounded continuously, as if someone was constantly smashing through walls.

What the hell did that girl do?
What kind of power is it that can knead and support the gate-shaped summoning circle, which was originally symmetrical on all four sides, into an irregular circle like plasticine?
"What's going on? This breath?"

For the first time, fluctuations appeared on the calm face of the old man in gray robe.

This doesn't sound like summoning a low-level monster, does it?
With the creaking and howling sound of the summoning circle, Vivienne also felt that something was wrong.

She wanted to adjust the summoning circle, but found that she had lost the ability to control the circle
Like, it's going to explode?

It didn't wait for everyone to react.

"boom!!!"

Raging flames and bursting lava spewed out from the shattered summoning circle, almost covering the entire classroom!

The grey-robed mage and several mages in the audience suddenly changed their colors, and instantly took out their staffs. These old mages unanimously cast the same magic.

"Second Ring Magic, Guardian Wind!"

Four huge cyan tornadoes gathered all the flying magma and flames together, preventing it from harming the surrounding students.

This is the most suitable and fastest-acting defensive magic.

Only then did the students in the audience react.

"what!!!"

"Help me!!"

"Mother."

Screams filled the entire classroom, and everyone was desperately fleeing from the direction of the summoning platform.

The heads of the three scoring teachers were also sweating, and they couldn't hold on anymore.

Only the gray-robed mage was calmly waving his staff.

After silently reciting a casting spell, he raised the dead wood staff and pointed at the 'magma whirlwind', and a huge vortex of magic power rushed upward.

"Blazing Empowerment!"

In an instant, all the flames seemed to be eaten by an invisible giant beast, and disappeared without a trace, leaving only blackened lava rocks scattered all over the ground.

Vivienne, who was standing in the middle of the flame, finally couldn't hold on at this time, and knelt down on the ground.

Her red eyes were full of despair.

"What to do, what to do, still failed."

"In the end... I still failed"

At this time, the surrounding students also became quiet, looked at each other's distressed appearance, and quickly got up to adjust their appearance and attire.

They are noble magicians, how could they be as embarrassed as that commoner.

Before everyone had tidied their clothes, the originally dim magic circle suddenly lit up with a dazzling light!

"boom!"

A loud crash came from behind.

The four teachers breathed a sigh of relief, and when they were about to appease everyone, they were taken aback by the huge impact.

"what happened again!"

The gray-robed old mage turned his head to look at the summoning platform angrily. A two-meter-long dragon-shaped creature covered in blood was lying on the summoning platform.

The head of the dragon-shaped creature was less than ten centimeters away from Vivian.

The dragon kiss was so close to the girl's face that even the faint wind of breath blew onto her blood-soaked face.

Blood!

a lot of blood!
Vivian had never seen so much blood in her life.

A fountain of blood spurted out from the body of the dragon-shaped creature in front of her, dyeing her mage robe blood red.

If the creature in front of him is a dragon, then his body from the abdomen down has basically disappeared, and behind him is a piece of cotton-like mud, connected only by a layer of skin.

Vivienne could even see the slowly beating heart through the gaps in the broken meat. He didn't have a single dragon scale all over his body, and his whole body was stained red with blood.

Tick, tick.
Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.

Even in this state, the dragon still raised its head and looked at the silver-haired girl in front of him.

One person, one dragon, four eyes facing each other.

The crimson pupils stared at the nine-colored dragon pupils.

Looking at those familiar eyes, Vivienne seemed to have returned to that rainy night when she was a child.

"Damn it! Shut up!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the old man in gray robe immediately moved in front of Vivienne, and pushed the girl back. The purple-red magic elements gathered on the staff, and the slight magic light indicated that this powerful attack magic could be released at any time. .

He looked at this seriously injured dragon with vigilance, it should be a dying young dragon.

This was the first time he saw a dragon since leaving the capital.

Although I don't know what species it is, as long as the other party dares to move, I can send him to heaven. With the strength of his great magister, this young dragon should directly turn into a pool of flesh and blood.

And the young dragon's eyes seemed to flicker, and a faint magical aura flowed from his heart.

Obviously he still has the power to make a final blow, but judging from his state, he didn't have much life after this blow.

Just when the sword was drawn.

"Principal, can I talk to him?"

Vivian's voice suddenly sounded from behind, interrupting the one person and one dragon who were staring at each other.

Gandalf van Andrew frowned and looked sideways at the girl, making sure he wasn't hallucinating.

Vivienne's clear eyes met him, and there was no expression of fear on her blood-stained cheeks.

"you sure?"

Gandalf frowned. If it wasn't for this girl, he would have done it a long time ago.

Vivian nodded with firm eyes: "I summoned him, I believe he will not hurt me."

"Please allow me to communicate with my summoned beast"

Gandalf hesitated when he heard the words
He frowned and looked at the girl and the half young dragon, then glanced at the summoning circle under him, and finally moved away slowly.

It's just that the light on his staff has not dissipated.

On the summoning platform soaked in blood

The young dragon still stands with its neck high
From just now, this half of the young dragon looked at the people around him indifferently, without saying a word or making unnecessary movements.

To be precise, he couldn't speak either, because only half of his mouth and throat remained.

With Gandalf out of the way

The eyes of the dragon and the girl converged again.

Maybe it's the throbbing in my heart, maybe it's just a moment of eye contact.

Vivian decided to save him, because his eyes were so similar to his former self.

The emotions in those colorful dragon eyes are so complicated
indifferent?

sad?

anger?
And. Deep helplessness.

"It must be painful to suffer such a serious injury."

The young dragon didn't answer, but the light in the heart was still shining.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not your enemy, the principal is just worried that you will hurt your classmates by mistake"

She walked slowly towards the young dragon.

Da da da
Stepping on the old washed gray leather boots in a pool of blood, he walked towards the young dragon step by step.

The audience in the audience also almost held their breath, watching the dragon and the girl get closer and closer.

Vivienne met Ron's eyes again, and slowly reached out to touch his dragon kiss.

"hiss--"

The girl frowned, and subconsciously bent her fingers.

In the quiet classroom, everyone was also frightened by her painful cries and held their breath.

The four teachers have slowly stood around the young dragon, ready to rescue it at any time.

"Bah!"

The white skin soaked in blood made a sound of melting.

The remaining elemental magic burned her hand, but she didn't let go, just staring closely at the pair of colorful dragon eyes.

The little magic power left was released from her hands. This was the only 0-ring trick she learned besides summoning magic: pain transfer.

Pain transfer: transfer part of the pain of the opponent's body to itself, but it will not heal the opponent.

This kind of magic has no healing effect and will make oneself fall into a state of pain. Even if this kind of thankless magic is very simple to learn, there are still few people who learn it.

As a noble magician, how could he be willing to bear the pain for others.

But in fact, this is indeed a healing magic, and it was widely used in wars 1000 years ago.

Many of the soldiers on the battlefield between orcs and humans did not die from serious injuries, but were tortured to death by the great pain inflicted by the shaman blessing weapon.

The invention of this trick saved thousands of human soldiers.

"Well!"

The pain from the magic shunt made her body tremble. It was only a small part of the pain in his body, but she could only help him so much.

If there were more words, she would pass out. Vivienne was sure that such words would only arouse conflicts among the people.

Feeling that the sea of ​​pain in the spiritual space has been scattered away.

The colorful young dragon finally got real, and looked seriously at the silver-haired girl in front of him.

"Ugh."

The girl bit her lip tightly, enduring the boundless pain.

At the same time, she turned her head to look at the gray-robed principal, with the corners of her mouth raised, barely revealing a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Look, principal, he didn't mean to hurt us, he was just hurt too badly"

"According to the school's regulations, I can apply for a free summoned animal rescue quota."

"He Needs Healing"

Suddenly, a colorful brilliance appeared in Vivienne's hand.

The colorful energy was slowly released from the young dragon's body, and gradually gathered on the back of the girl's hand, as if a rainbow-like brilliance bloomed from her hand, illuminating the entire classroom.

The other teachers and students watched the changes on the stage in shock.

The seven-color light gradually disappeared, and a strange text appeared in her hand.

That is the oldest dragon script, and it is said that it is one of the twelve original runes left by Io, but so far no dragon has researched their specific usage.

But this kind of dragon script is regarded as a treasure by the real dragons, and only the foreign race who has obtained the friendship of the real dragon can get this kind of gift. Other dragons who see this kind of rune engraved on their bodies will also maintain the most basic respect for her, which means that You have gained the sanction of a true dragon.

"The contract is done"

The warm and clear boy's voice sounded in her mind.

In this warrior, the girl's tense nerves finally couldn't hold on, and she collapsed to the ground.

Only half of the dragon's head was left to gently catch her and let her lean on him.

The scene of the dragon and the girl

Shocked everyone present and etched in the history of this town forever.
