Anime: Blue-Eyes Baby Dragon, picked up by the Knight King

Chapter 6: The Hall of Light

About ten days later.

Artoria, who had been busy and on guard all the time, finally found a good opportunity to walk into the mountains and forests openly.

This will be the village's last resource collection before the rainy season: including hunting, felling trees, and even collecting various herbs... In short, it is to collect all the supplies that can be found as much as possible to survive the disaster that may come at any time.

Altria entered the forest with the villagers, sneaked along a winding path, and quickly headed towards the dangerous mountains - she hadn't seen the baby dragon for nearly half a month!

“I wonder if it misses me?”

"Has the injury it suffered earlier healed?"

"The rainy season is coming... Is there enough food for it? Will it get hungry?"

With a lot of questions in her mind, the blonde girl quickly ran towards the cliff.

——But this time, she didn't need to climb the towering cliff.

"Ok?"

When she turned around a narrow rock face that was only wide enough for one person to pass through and came to a relatively gentle hillside, a "building" that suddenly appeared here immediately attracted her full attention.

I saw that a pure white "fortress" suddenly appeared on the grassland that was supposed to be empty.

The fortress wasn't very large, with the interior space only about the size of a basketball court. But looking at this strange white fortress, Altria suddenly felt a strange feeling in her heart:

This building, built of square marble, is simple and rustic, yet square and upright, filled with a solemn and sacred atmosphere and an indescribable sense of solemnity.

And the next moment, when she walked into the pure white building with a curious and inquisitive mood, she found that the young dragon she had always been thinking about was now lying on a tall rock, sleeping soundly.

"This kid, has he been busy with these things these days?"

"Where did it get these stones?"

Looking at the young dragon curled up on the boulder and sleeping, Artoria felt happy but also very curious - marble of this size did not look like it was picked up casually in the mountains.

"If we can find out where these stones came from... maybe we can face this year's rainy season with a more relaxed attitude."

The girl's emotions faded temporarily, and the king's thoughts immediately took over. As the sole candidate for the King of Britain, Artoria immediately realized the purpose of the marble: compared to the young dragon building its nest on the cliff, it was clear that the humans living on the ground needed this solid stone more.

but--

"Ow?"

When the young dragon gradually woke up, it let out a slightly confused, but then extremely happy cry.

"Well, I'm here, I'm here to see you!"

The king who was just thinking rationally turned into a joyful girl in the blink of an eye - the cry of the young dragon was like some magical magic, making her immediately forget the things that she shouldn't "remember" here.

Yes, that's right.

This is the exclusive territory of dragons.

Human affairs have nothing to do with this field.

……

The young dragon regained consciousness and quickly flew in front of Altria.

It circled above the girl's head, and from time to time it made some high-pitched or excited calls.

Artoria could understand what the little guy meant:

"Oh, you finally came to see me. I missed you so much!"

"How have you been these past few days? Are you eating well?"

"I've hunted a lot of monsters these past few days—especially a giant wild boar that can breathe fire!"

"See this building? I built it! Am I awesome?"

"But for some reason... this building seems to be missing something, and it has never been completed. I don't know what it is."

"I threw away all the stale food, but I dug a pond behind this building and raised some fish in it. Let's have grilled fish later!"

These are the mumblings from the young dragon, covering everything in its life in recent times.

Altria looked at the young dragon, who was still in high spirits despite not having seen him for a few days, with a feeling of great relief, and breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed like she was worrying too much.

——Even without her, the young dragon can live well and even find entertainment for itself.

But then again.

"Missing something?"

After the young dragon's reminder, Artoria suddenly noticed that there was a very strange sense of incongruity in this building.

This is a very strange and abrupt feeling of disharmony.

This sense of incongruity clearly didn't exist when she walked into the building!

"strangeness?"

"What's the difference?"

Artoria subconsciously looked at the stone pillar in front of her - she suddenly felt that there was something abrupt on the top of the stone pillar, and there must be something placed on it!

But what is that thing?

Altria raised her head and looked at the empty stone pillar. Then she turned back and looked at the young dragon that kept circling around her body, as if it had unlimited energy.

Suddenly, she realized something.

"Xiaolong."

"Ow?"

"Fly to that stone pillar and strike a fierce pose."

"Right, that is it."

……

Artoria came to the outside of the fortress.

She found the last square piece of marble, whose place she didn't know, and raised her sword towards it.

She condensed the active and sharp wind element onto the long sword.

Exquisite swordsmanship was performed in her hands, but at this moment, the purpose of this swordsmanship was no longer to kill the enemy, but to carve a real work of art.

She closed her eyes, recalling the dragon's gesture in her mind. The sword in her hand swiftly slashed across the marble—before this wind-infused sword, the solid marble was like a lump of mud, easily shaving off a large chunk.

Altria continued to swing the sword in her hand.

Pieces of gravel, large and small, continued to fall off, and a complete outline gradually appeared in front of the young dragon.

Dragon head, dragon tail, dragon wings, dragon claws.

With Altria's ingenious design, a 1:1 replica of a baby dragon statue appeared in front of it.

And when the young dragon tried to move the statue made based on it to the stone pillar.

"Shh-"

A magical, no, it should be said that a mysterious scene appeared in an instant.

A dazzling white light burst forth from the statue, followed by a rumbling sound. This toy fortress, originally constructed from blocks of marble, seemingly without any apparent solidity, now seemed to be connected to the entire earth, becoming unbreakable and even merging directly with the surrounding mountains.

[Ding, congratulations, you have completed the mini-game: Building Blocks]

After some hard work, you successfully built the building: the Hall of Light.

PS: In case someone doesn't know this.

[Blue-Eyed Elf] Effect: This card can only be activated when it is successfully Link Summoned. Select a [Light Spirit Hall] from your deck and add it to your hand or send it to the Graveyard.

Chapter 7: The Dragon that Calls for Light

That is a true miracle.

The transition from a playful building made of building blocks to a truly indestructible pure white fortress takes place in an instant.

Surprised, Altria placed her hands on the pure white marble, trying to decipher the mystery hidden within—but she couldn't.

She wasn't a proper magician; her understanding of magic was still at the elementary level of "being able to spurt fire from her palms." Of course, even if you summoned the Flower Magician, he wouldn't be able to fathom the secrets.

“A miracle is called a miracle because ordinary people cannot do it, or even understand it.”

"That is what is called a great achievement that only gods can create."

In the face of this truly "miraculous power," even Altria, destined to be the King of Britain, could only marvel at the wonders of nature and the infinite possibilities hidden within the young dragon before her.

"A creature standing at the pinnacle of fantasy, making the impossible possible."

"This is a dragon..."

……

After the fortress was completed, Artoria stayed here for only a short while.

Then, she said goodbye to the young dragon that could take care of itself independently in a tone that seemed both worried and relieved.

"The rainy season is coming."

"I'm afraid we won't be able to see each other for a long time."

"While I'm away, you have to eat well and sleep well, okay?"

Altria patted the young dragon's head, then carried the seven or eight big salmon that the young dragon gave her and set out on the road back to the village.

The young dragon stood on top of the fortress, watching the girl's back as she left, then raised his head and looked at the dark sky.

"It's the rainy season."

For some reason, he suddenly hated the rain.

“If only the sky could clear up!”

With this thought in mind, the young dragon spread its wings and flew high.

He flew over the fortress, over the cliff, over the mountain... and directly flew over the dark cloud.

This was the first time he had flown so high since he became a young dragon.

It was cold up there, dark and chilly. The damp, cold wind blew against him, causing even the dragon's scales, which were known for their extreme cold resistance, to subconsciously twitch.

"Think of a way to warm up here!"

The young dragon closed his eyes, but the scene of the blonde girl carving a statue for him with the long sword in her hand emerged in his mind.

That sword was just an ordinary iron sword, but with the blessing of the wind element, it could become a sharp blade that could cut through stone like mud - that was the power of Altria, the authority of the "Wind Dragon King" or the "Star Dragon".

——So, that guy is actually a Stardust Dragon?

"And if she can do it... then I can definitely do it too!"

Thinking this, the young dragon began to mobilize the only elemental attribute around him that he could mobilize and which was also naturally compatible with him.

【Light】.

……

Blue-Eyes White Dragon is the dragon of light.

The ultimate form of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon - also known as the [Blue-Eyes Light Dragon], is even the embodiment of light.

Of course, Shirataki is far from reaching that level now... He is just a young dragon in its growth stage, and his control over strength and power is still very weak, or even almost non-existent.
