My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 254 The Dragon Roars
At the junction of heaven and earth, a faint sunset still remains on the dark earth.

The warm orange glow cast its afterglow feebly, dyeing the scorched earth into mottled orange-red and gray-black.

In the field of vision, the light coming down from the thick gray fog seems particularly precious at this moment, as if every ray of light is silently telling the tragedy and grandeur of this place.

Xia Li stood on the land that had been bombarded by magic, and a particularly unreal feeling arose in his heart.

When he first returned to the continent of Aize, he did not have this sense of separation of "jumping from the earth to the magic continent".

The charming scenery and the unchanging girl beside him deceived him into the land of gentleness.

However, the cruel ruins before his eyes made Xia Li truly feel the difference between 'reality' and 'magic'.

At this moment, not only did it bring a strong visual conflict, but the soul was also greatly shocked.

"I summon myself?"

Xia Li thought carefully about what Lucia said.

What the evil dragon said was not without reason.

With the current level of magic in this world, even if it develops for another fifty years, there is no guarantee that Xia Li will be summoned to this world.

However, in order to ensure that he can meet Lucia at this moment, Xia Li must let his "past self" come to the "future world".

He pinched his chin and thought for a long time.

If the former Xia Li were to make this choice, before coming to the continent of Aize and before developing feelings with Lucia, Xia Li would definitely not choose to summon himself and put himself in danger.

But now, he can make a choice without hesitation.

Only by completing this step of their destiny can this wrong time and space travel end correctly.

"how should I do?"

Xia Li asked resolutely.

"That's why I brought you here!"

After getting the correct answer, the girl's eyes narrowed with a smile.

Lucia stood up from the ground and pulled her little hands out from the black mud.

——If possible, she would like to turn into a dragon and roll in the mud.

But this land has been eroded by magic, and there might be some residual curse. Doing this would not be good for the scales, so let's forget it.

Patting her black little hands, Lucia wiped the gaps between her fingers with her robe and spoke nonchalantly.

"Didn't I just say that I came here to find something..."

"Well, you haven't told me what you are looking for here." Xia Li nodded.

"Of course it is——"

Lucia raised her voice, and the girl's clear and sweet voice echoed in the dark wilderness.

She paused, afraid that someone would hear what she was going to say next, so she stopped talking, walked stealthily to Xia Li's side, stood on tiptoe and whispered in Xia Li's ear.

"Looking for the artifact."

"Ah? A divine weapon??"

Xia Li was slightly stunned.

Looking for an artifact?
In a place like this?
How could such a precious artifact appear on the battlefield?

Xia Li has been in the Aize Continent for three years and has never seen any artifact other than the Demon-Repelling Sword.

He had heard from his mentor and teammates that several kinds of artifacts had appeared in various corners of the world. But basically no one had ever seen these things, so the existence of artifacts was more like a folk legend passed down by word of mouth.

It is said that artifacts cannot be created by humans and they cannot be defined by any category.

They possess magical powers beyond normal strength, and are magical tools that were born along with the "laws" when this world was born.

Not only does he possess great power, he also possesses special abilities that are on the verge of breaking the 'laws'.

As for Xia Li, he had heard of several special abilities: sealing, deterioration, healing, demon-breaking, demon-repelling...

He has never come into contact with other abilities, so it is hard to say whether they really exist.

However, the ability of 'Exorcism' is quite useful in his hands.

"Yes! This is the secret that Lao Hei... Village Chief Neil Hawk told me!"

Lucia put her hands on her hips and said with a sharp look in her eyes.

Now Xia Li's curiosity was also aroused.

When boys play RPG games, they are basically strength-oriented. When they see new weapons, they will naturally be excited.

"What kind of artifact is it?" he asked.

"call!"

"It turns out to be a divine weapon with the ability to 'summon'." Xia Li suddenly realized.

This means that what he wants now is to obtain this divine weapon, and then appear before a human being and leave a prophecy for the humans in this world.

Just like many adventure series in another world, it tells the humans here that they will encounter a catastrophe in the future, and only by summoning a brave man can they help them survive this catastrophe.

Then use the summoning artifact to cast a delay magic, which will summon 'yourself' after fifty years.

After doing this, they used the power of the artifact to teleport back to Earth.

Ok……

Totally right.

It was exactly the same as Xia Li remembered, the reason why he was brought here as a "hero".

It seems that I have fooled myself!
However, the thought of bringing a wife home by doing this is well worth it.

"Let's get started now without further delay."

Xia Li rolled up his sleeves and, imitating the way Lucia had just squatted on the ground playing with the black mud, put his hands into the mud and stirred it.

"Is this how you find it?"

"It's not like this……"

When Lucia saw Xia Li's silly look, she couldn't help but smile.

"That's how you found it just now."

Xia Li reached into the ground and pulled out a piece of burnt leather armor, then threw it away in disgust.

"I was just playing in the mud just now!" Lucia said confidently.

Xia Li: “…”

"Hehe... why are you so stupid?"

Lucia squatted down, took Xia Li's hands out of the mud, shook off the dust on them, and wiped them with her clean white cloak.

Then she lowered her head and let out a breath.

Xia Li thought that the dragon was going to spit out ambergris for him to wash his hands.

He didn't mind and was ready to take the ambergris.

But Lucia didn't spit into his palm, but blew out a breath of cold air.

The air was instantly filled with tiny silver ice crystals, which mixed with the biting cold air and the dragon's breath and blew onto Xia Li's hands.

Xia Li felt his hands getting cold, and then they were washed clean.

Purification Magic - Silver Dragon Version.

This came as quite a shock to Xia Li, a rookie who could hardly use any magic.

He made a curious "Huh" sound and checked his hands again and again.

"Hee hee~"

His actions reminded Lucia of when she first came to Earth, she was also full of curiosity about the things around her.

However, Xia Li is different from her.

He would not point at the rice cooker and say something about the great invention, nor would he knock on the TV to see if there were chickens, ducks, cows or sheep hidden inside.

"How can a sacred artifact be buried casually in the soil... The sacred artifact we are going to find is somewhat special." The evil dragon deliberately kept the secret.

"All divine artifacts are very special." Xia Li continued. "Yes, that's right...but the divine artifact we are looking for has an owner."

"Huh?" Xia Li was surprised. "The artifact has already recognized its master. Even if we find it, we won't be able to use it..."

Things like 'borrowing it' don't seem realistic in this world.

"Why don't you kill its owner and then let the cow come over?" Lucia said in a matter-of-fact tone.

Xia Li: “…”

There are so many things I want to complain about that I don’t know where to start.

"Here's the situation."

Lucia held Xia Li's hand and repeated what Old Black Dragon had said to her today.

Of course, these words are abridged.

In the northwest of the Lyon Empire, there are flowers blooming all over the mountains and countless treasures and minerals buried underground.

Because the flowers here can be used to make medicine and the minerals have magical powers, it has become a battleground between empires and kingdoms.

But the appearance of such fertile land out of nowhere is not a coincidence, but a magical weapon is sleeping deep underground.

Years of war have devastated this land. The pollution and curse brought by magic have not only eroded the earth, but also the artifacts sleeping under the earth...

In a certain accidental contact, the general who should have died in the battle, at the moment of his death, his anger and anxiety awakened the artifact that should have been sleeping.

Thus, the artifact found its master, and the dying general gained extraordinary power.

"You said, what should the artifact that awakened in this cursed land after the war be used to summon with its 'summoning' ability?"

After Lucia finished telling the story here, she asked Xia Li a question in return.

Xia Li answered without hesitation.

As a modern person who has appreciated countless stand-alone games and movie stories, it is too easy to guess this.

"Undead."

"Correct!"

Lucia couldn't help but be surprised by Xia Li's logical ability.

Xia Li is so smart, she deserves to be the person she chose!

Lucia added, secretly praising Xia Li in her heart.

"The dead soul was forcibly summoned, but even if it could successfully return to the body, the fact of 'death' itself is irreversible... Even in the Aize Continent, there is no ability to truly resurrect a person."

"They are a group of walking corpses, summoned from underground by the artifact. They gather in the dark place and brew a new war."

When Lucia said this, her eyes dimmed.

Undead...

Just as the old black dragon said, they are bodies that are forcibly kept "alive".

The old black dragon also said that there had once been a human-dragon love affair like hers, and that dragon had also tried to force his lover to stay by his side.

But, as Lucia just said, there is no resurrection magic in this world, nor is there any ability to break the upper limit of human life.

The person that the dragon kept by his side was nothing more than an incorruptible body without self-awareness.

The final outcome of that human-dragon love story can be imagined.

In the end, Long abandoned his beloved partner and plunged into endless loneliness and solitude.

Thinking of this, Lucia secretly took a breath.

She doesn't want this.

So, she had to do something.

"If the Undead Army completes its deployment, it will undoubtedly bring a huge disaster to this world..."

"Xia Li, you have more or less come into contact with the history of this world, right? That's right, in the history of this world, there is no record of the Undead Legion..."

“That means you have to succeed.”

"..."

After hearing this, Xia Li fell into a moment of thought.

fight?

In this world, he is not good at other things, but he has never lost in a fight.

"In fact, if you think about it the other way around...it also means that you will definitely succeed."

Lucia knew that Xia Li would not retreat just because the enemy was too strong. Lucia had personally witnessed the brave man's fearless style of doing things and the justice in his heart.

But Lucia was still willing to say a few words to encourage Xia Li.

Lucia patted Xia Li's shoulder and comforted him.

"After all, the future is already determined. You are facing a battle with a 100% chance of winning... So, just do it boldly!"

In fact, if Lucia hadn't already "spoiled" the history in her mind, she would still be hesitant to let Xia Li fight against the Undead Legion.

But after knowing the answer clearly, she was willing to let Xia Li give it a try.

"Sacred weapons fight divine weapons..."

Xia Li estimated for a while in his mind.

He even fought with a hero of equal stature who possessed a heart of stone once...

Beat the half-dead general and the undead behind him.

Isn’t it simple?

Thinking of this, Xia Li pulled out the Demon-Exorcist Sword again. The blue-green blade reflected the last rays of the setting sun, and he looked at his reflection in the mirror-like sharp blade.

Neat short black hair and a heavy expression.

And those slightly narrowed, sharp eyes.

"For this world, and for us." Xia Li's lips moved slightly, muttering to himself.

"Ah."

Lucia smiled gently and stretched out her arms to hug Xia Li.

Xia Li was much taller than her, so if she wanted to put her arms around Xia Li's neck, she had to stand on tiptoe.

Perhaps she could use magic to strengthen her body and make herself taller at will.

But Lucia is used to it.

The little me nestled on the brave man's broad shoulders.

This is more comfortable and free.

"Let's go~"

After saying these words, the heavy stone in Lucia's heart finally fell to the ground.

Xia Li accepted her proposal, which means she succeeded.

Holding Xia Li, Lucia raised her head, stood on tiptoes, and pecked Xia Li lightly on the chin.

Leaving a moist kiss with a little warmth.

Then, in the blink of an eye, her petite body transformed into that of a giant dragon.

A huge silver monster stood on this barren land, with its long neck raised high, and its beautiful dragon scales glowing with a soft yet sharp luster in the sunset glow.

Rather than looking for the undead in person, it is better to actively "lure" them out.

"Roar--!!!"

The giant dragon spread its wings that covered the sky, raised its huge head, and let out an earth-shaking angry roar towards the sky.

Xia Li was shocked by the sudden roar and was about to cover his ears with his hands.

A magical power with its own warmth poured down from above his head, wrapping him gently in it and isolating him from the deafening roar.

　I'm recommending a book to a friend. It seems to be a western fantasy farming novel without romance. If you're interested, you can take a look.
