Chapter 11: Prayer of Blue Eyes

"I didn't plan to save you."

This sentence sounds like it contains some tsundere elements, as if Youlong is showing his chivalrous spirit of "doing good deeds without leaving a name".

But in fact, the spiritual core hidden behind this sentence has nothing to do with "chivalry" - it is even the opposite.

"I didn't intend to save you, so there's no need for you to be grateful to me. Don't come to me if you have trouble in the future. I don't want to have anything to do with you at all."

This is what the young dragon really wants to express.

He was not the King of Britain chosen by God like Altria, who liked to take all the responsibility of the world on himself; he also had no intention of having any relationship with these humans - because he knew very well that these humans would not really be grateful to him.

Just like the humans in "The Three-Body Problem" are not grateful to Luo Ji... No, there is actually a more appropriate example, that is, the people living in the Kingdom of Camelot have never been grateful to King Artoria.

They were even looking forward to when the perfect king would fall.

[While secretly mocking how long a child could hold the throne, he was also constantly preparing for the struggle for power after the king's fall.]

[While praising the king for his ideals, once he realized that those ideals couldn't save everyone, he pushed all the responsibility onto her—as if the entire country's destruction was solely her fault.]

Ironic, isn't it? But this is true human nature—longing for light while being afraid to see the real sun.

"Once they're awake, you can all leave."

"Also, don't mention anything about me to outsiders."

Looking at the hillside that had become quiet again, the young dragon shook its head happily. Then it flapped its wings and flew back to the comfortable cave, lying under the warm sunshine.

"sleep."

……

The girl stood there excitedly.

She did not notice the young dragon's departure, but instead focused all her attention on the tribesmen who were undergoing "baptism".

Yes, baptism—she used this sacred word to describe what was happening before her eyes:

Her sick and weak tribesmen, who were only one step away from death, began to recover after being thrown into the pool.

At the same time, the appearance of these tribesmen also underwent surprising changes - the girl, as if she had thought of something, suddenly looked towards the water, looked at her own reflection, and suddenly realized that her hair had turned silver long ago.

This is undoubtedly a true miracle, and the one who can create such a miracle is undoubtedly a true god.

"So, that young dragon just now is actually a real god?"

The girl suddenly thought of something and looked around, but did not see the baby dragon.

"Once you sober up, all of you can leave."

Only the young dragon's voice echoed in her mind—a feeling of loss, like a child abandoned by her parents and driven out of her home. Standing at the fork in the road, she stared blankly back in the direction of home, lost in thought.

"Hey, Vina, what are you thinking about?"

Suddenly, a call full of surprise sounded in the girl's ears.

Vina turned around and found that all her tribesmen had stood up from the pool.

They were just seriously ill, but after just five or six minutes of "baptism", they all recovered to health - even in a better condition than health!

"I feel like I can break a rock with one punch right now!"

A middle-aged man in his forties waved his right hand, and the sense of power that filled his body reminded him of his youth. Back then, he was also a brave warrior who could go into the mountains alone to hunt coyotes.

"Hmm, it's really good... Could it be that the water in this pool is the real treasure?"

While feeling the strength in his body, the old man looked at the pool in front of him - he felt that he should lead all the tribesmen into the pool and soak in the water for a while.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go back quickly!"

Some young people were already shouting impatiently - now he really wanted to go back to the village, see his beloved, and show his "adventure" to other young people.

"Go back, go back, go back now."

The tribesmen, who had recovered their health, were in high spirits and excited.

They cheered and sang, making the small hillside, which had just been quiet, suddenly noisy.

Vina was also among the crowd.

But looking at the expression on her face, she was not as happy as the others. She was full of joy of surviving a disaster.

Instead, he walked slowly, lowered his head and said nothing, obviously looking like he was worried about something.

"Once they are all awake, you can all leave."

"Also, don't mention anything about me to outsiders."

——At this moment, the girl suddenly realized what the young dragon meant by "leave".

That was not an ordinary separation, but a farewell forever.

"Never again."

"If you come again, I will kill you!"

The white young dragon spoke rather terrifying words in a rather calm tone.

Looking at the tribesmen in front who were talking excitedly, they seemed to want to lead other villagers to this shrine to receive "baptism".

The girl, who had realized the truth, was instantly horrified.

……

The girl suddenly stopped.

Amidst everyone's puzzled gazes, she turned around and walked towards the mausoleum.

"You guys go back, I won't go back."

"I will serve the god who saved us here."

"Also, never bring anyone else here. That would anger the gods!"

Before leaving, the girl warned again and again.

Then, she ignored the surprised or scrutinizing looks of her tribesmen and returned to the shrine.

"Clang-"

She stretched out her hand, easily pushed open the door of the mausoleum, and continued walking towards the depths of the mausoleum.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the window and onto the white dragon statue on the stone pillar - it is lovely and sacred.

“Oh God.”

A girl named Vina knelt in front of the statue and prayed devoutly.

"Please grant me the power to stop those tribesmen."

Chapter 12: Dragon King and Dragon King

The girl settled down in the temple.

She lived a very simple life, going out only once a day to collect some wild fruits, berries and other things to fill her stomach.

She spent most of the rest of her time in the temple, kneeling in front of the white dragon statue and praying from the bottom of her heart.

At the same time, right in front of the white dragon statue, there were piles of very fine fruit - these were the "tributes" carefully selected by the girl. She offered the best to the gods, hoping that the gods would answer her prayers as soon as possible.

But, it didn’t happen.

For a whole week, she didn't see the dreamy white dragonfly.

This made the girl very disappointed.

She thought that perhaps she couldn't just pray - she should do something for the god to really attract his attention.

"But what can I do about it?"

The girl in the mausoleum frowned and couldn't make up her mind.

And outside, there was suddenly the sound of brisk footsteps and joyful calls.

"Xiaolong? Xiaolong?"

This undisguised call made the girl's heart skip a beat.

"broken!"

The girl hiding in the temple subconsciously thought that her tribesmen had returned here to look for the dragon god.

"I have to stop them! Get them out of here before they anger the Dragon God!"

The girl, who didn't want to see her tribesmen die tragically in front of her, ran quickly to the entrance of the temple and pushed the heavy stone door open a crack.

"There are no little dragons here. Please leave here...quickly?"

"Eh???"

……

After walking out of the mausoleum, Vina looked at the scenery outside with a look of surprise.

——It was not the bustling tribesman she had imagined.

But it was a blonde girl... whom she had never seen before? Standing on the emerald green grass, she looked at her with curiosity.

The girl's emerald green eyes and the hair on her head that suddenly changed into a "?" shape were very impressive.

Vina looked at this "uninvited guest" with curiosity, silently wondering why she knew about the existence of the young dragon and what the relationship between her and the young dragon was.

But this curiosity only lasted for a second.

Because the moment she began to seriously examine the blonde girl, a terrifying aura suddenly emanated from her. The domineering dragon might swept across the hillside, sweeping over Vina, who had no idea what was happening.

At that moment, she felt like a leaf falling into the waves - she could be destroyed at any time and buried in the bottomless sea.

"What is this?"

Vina was so frightened that she didn't dare to look at the blonde girl anymore and just lowered her head.

In fact, she was about to kneel down on the ground - but for some reason, just when her body was about to fall to the ground due to weakness, another force came from her body, forcibly supporting her legs that had no strength left, so that she would not fall down for the time being.

However, what really supported her body and allowed her to stand firm when facing a "Dragon King" level being was the brisk dragon roar that suddenly came from the sky.

"Ow—"

A white figure swooped down the cliff.

It caught Altria's attention—and instantly relieved the pressure on Vina.

"So she's a dragon too?"

"No wonder, no wonder..."

Looking at the two white dragons and red dragons hugging each other, Vina covered her chest with her hands and gasped heavily.

At this moment, she truly realized the difference between dragons and humans.

——It turns out that there is no need to do anything at all.

Just a look could cost her life.
