Frilian: The Adventure of the Hero

after all.

Leaving it alone and letting the dream-eating tapirs come over every day to induce nightmares in the villagers is just too torturous.

Now he understands a little why the villagers were cold to him during the day.

If you can't sleep well every night, have nightmares all the time, and can't figure out why, you'll become neurotic and see everyone as a bad guy.

Upon hearing this, Frilian lowered her head and pondered for a moment.

"The tapir is not hostile to humans. I guess the reason it deliberately induces people to dream is because it is in its breeding season and food is scarce."

"This small village only has a dozen or so households. Who would have nightmares about feeding it every day?"

Xia En sighed.

A breastfeeding mother with three crying infants... the people in this village are probably going to be skinned alive.

"Hmm... there is a solution."

"What method?"

"Before humans mastered the magic of flight, only demons were able to reach the back of the Celestial Dragon."

"Among them, some collected a flower that looks like a star. This flower is very popular with magical beasts, and its nectar can perfectly replace food."

"I can use the [Flower Field Magic] to make the entire area around the Baku's nest grow with these flowers."

Upon hearing Frillie's idea, Shane was full of praise.

This is the best solution. It ensures that the dream-eating tapirs won't run off to other places and cause trouble, solves the problem for the local villagers, and also helps the dream-eating tapirs solve their food problem. It's a win-win-win situation!

"What are we waiting for? Let's go back and perform a magic trick for those little ones!"

"No." Frillie shook her head. "[Flower Field Magic] can only conjure flowers that I've seen before. I've never seen that legendary flower, so I can't conjure it."

Ok.

Magic is the realization of imagination, and humans cannot imagine things they have not seen.

Xia En looked up at the sky, and then the problem became simple.

They had to wait here for the "passing-by" Celestial Dragon.

…………

The next day.

Finally, the sun appeared after a long absence.

Warm sunlight pierced through the clouds and fell on the damp mountain forest, reflecting dappled light on the branches and grass, as if adding a filter to the whole world.

Frillie sat on a large rock by the stream, wrapped in a blanket, holding a thick magic book in her arms, reading quietly.

There was a fishing rod propped up in front of her.

The stream had risen a bit and was clearer than usual, making the pebbles and fish on the bottom clearly visible.

The little fish ignored the earthworm on the hook, showing no intention of biting it at all. Frillie seemed unconcerned, focusing intently on her book, casually turning a page with her finger.

Shaen sat on the sand next to her, fiddling with a large pile of broken equipment, stripping it, reforging it, and imbuing it with new power.

His expression shifted between excitement and frustration.

From sunrise to sunset, time passes by leisurely.

The two of them would occasionally exchange a few brief words.

Most of the time, they each do their own thing.

Sometimes, Shane would ask questions about magic, and Frilian would patiently answer them one by one.

Sometimes, when interesting terms come up, Frillie gets attracted and squats down next to Shane, and the two of them study them together.

"When did you begin your practice as a [Sage]?"

"From the day you said I had no talent for magic. Since I lack both magical power and the physique of a warrior, I might as well start my training as a 'Sage,' which has no entry requirements."

"Doing this would be a waste of your talent as a monk, which is a bit of a pity."

"It would be a real shame if I actually became a monk."

"?"

Frillie didn't understand.

Xia En gave her an expression that was best left unsaid.

As the two were talking, a distant and ethereal low roar came from the sky.

Xia En looked up and saw a small black dot appear on the horizon, heading in their direction.

"It is the [Celestial Vein Dragon]."

Frillie smiled.

"It flew quite high, even outside the range of [Magic Detection]."

The two exchanged a glance, and then Frilian activated [Flight Magic], taking Shane into the air and flying rapidly after the little black dot.

Finally, at the extreme altitude of the [Flying Magic], they saw the legendary dragon with their own eyes.

Hovering beside the dragon, looking at its enormous body and the continuous mountain range on its back, Xia En suddenly felt his own insignificance.

Even Frilian, who usually has little expression, showed a rare happy look.

"Its back is covered with plants completely different from those on the ground, forming a unique ecosystem isolated from the world. According to the records of the demon race, plants that are tens of thousands of years old can even be found here."

"In places inaccessible to humans, these wondrous creatures exist eternally..."

Shane can understand Frillie's feelings.

To put it simply, it's probably about one immortal being appreciating another immortal being.

In the long course of time, very few things remain unchanged.

That's why it's so precious.

The two landed in the forest on the back of the dragon and successfully found the "flower that looks like a star".

…………

After casting the [Flower Field Magic] near the Baku's nest, Shane and Frilian also scattered some of the flower seeds they had brought back into the soil.

Even if the magic is gone, the naturally growing starflowers will still be able to help the Baku family.

After resolving the food issue there, the two returned to the village to address the villagers' "heartache."

After an explanation to the village chief, everyone finally felt relieved.

The villagers apologized for their previous coldness and gave them a lot of fruits and vegetables.

The chubby little girl who had given Xia En the hazelnuts earlier also came running over, excitedly grabbing Xia En's hand and refusing to let go.

"Big brother, I knew it! You're so handsome, you must be amazing!"

Xia En smiled, "Hmm, you have great taste."

"I like older brothers, can we get married?"

what?

Xia En was stunned.

Why is this question so disjointed?

Looking into the chubby girl's innocent and bewildered eyes, Xia En thought for a moment, squatted down, and answered seriously:

"I'm so happy to hear your confession, but I'm sorry, I can't accept it."

"Why! Does big brother have someone he likes?"

"...Well..."

Xia En organized her thoughts again, "Regardless of whether my older brother has someone he likes or not, I can't agree to it. Because liking someone is a very serious matter. We need to spend a long time together, understand each other, be compatible, and be prepared to spend our lives together before we can get married."

Hearing Xia En's words, the little girl seemed not to understand, and her chubby little face scrunched up.

Xia En patted the little girl's head and comforted her, "You may not understand now, but when you grow up a bit and meet more boys, you might understand."

"Will they all be as handsome as you?"

"He'll be even more handsome than me."

"Yay!"

Xia En smiled as she watched the chubby little girl run into her mother's arms, chattering excitedly.

As a result, when I turned around, I saw that Frillie also had a smug look on her face.

"Hehe, Grandpa Village Chief gave me a fantastic magic book! This is a real steal!"

Xia En glanced at the book in her hand, and was about to make a comment when he choked back his words.
