Miss Witch, please don't leave your fragrance everywhere

Anna's information contains a legend about the country on the back of a dragon, and every time I read it, I can't help but be amazed. The dragon race is a special race, with a small number of people but no one dares to despise them. They have a long lifespan and are said to have existed in the world before humans, elves, orcs and other races appeared.

“It’s actually made up.”

"Eh?"

"The dragon race is not that exaggerated. The dragon race is indeed huge, but not to the extent that they can carry a country on their backs. The country on the dragon's back is the most widely circulated story in Hans's fairy tale collection, but it is not actually Hans's original story, but a collection of stories he collected. Dragons are rare and do not like to show up in front of tiny races like us, so many descriptions of dragons are imaginary. Over time, legends naturally formed due to misunderstandings."

At the same time, the dragon clan will not take the initiative to refute the rumor. Only scholars who specialize in studying the dragon clan have discovered through research that this story is just a fairy tale. However, people just like to listen to these exaggerated fairy tales.

"For example, what does Anna think dragons eat."

"Um...Human...?"

Anna awkwardly gave what she thought was an obviously wrong answer, earning Angelica a smile in return.

There is a misunderstanding in many legends that dragons eat people. In fact, it is not only about humans, but also elves and orcs. The reason is that the rampage of dragons is equivalent to a natural disaster with life, and each time it causes large-scale deaths. Over time, the dragons gradually became villains in legends who like to eat people and plunder treasures.

If Angelica were to say, dragons had no interest in eating humans, but they certainly didn't care about the lives of humans.

"The correct answer is hidden in the Griff Valley. My clever Anna will surely be able to guess it."

"Could it be...feeding on magic power?"

"bingo."

The closer the magicians got to the Griff Valley, the more they could sense its differences.

Every piece of land contains magic power, which is a resource and nutrient that cannot be seen by the naked eye but can be felt by magicians. Magicians usually call it earth veins. The magic power of the Griff Valley is extremely abundant. Anna judged that the earth veins of the Griff Valley are several times more than ordinary earth veins, almost to the extent that magic apprentices may cause uncomfortable side effects if they use magic without authorization.

The real food of the dragon clan is precisely magic power. Although it is an invisible thing, the dragon clan can make it into its own nutrients. However, ordinary earth veins are not enough to sustain the survival of the dragon clan, and the dragon clan does not have the habit of exhausting the resources. After realizing that the earth veins are insufficient, they will set out to find other residences that meet the conditions.

Tiamat found a perfect place to live and stayed there for thousands of years.

However, there was one thing that Angelica forgot to remind Anna, which was that dragons, like many other beasts, had a strong sense of territory.

"—!"

Anna felt a chill, like a small animal waking up from a hazy dream. When she opened her eyes, she was horrified to see the greedy beast with its fangs bared. She subconsciously looked for the source of this malice, but as soon as she raised her head, she could see a figure with no intention of hiding.

On the slope of the Griff Valley stood a small figure, emitting an oppressive and terrifying aura that was totally inconsistent with his five-foot-tall height. His cold blue eyes were like a bottomless pool, and just staring at him was enough to wipe out all the remaining warmth in the human body.

As for her identity... the dragon horns sticking out from her messy blue hair are enough to explain everything. Tiamat, the mother of dragons in the Griff Valley.

"Over here, over here! And please don't scare Anna!"

Angelica showed no fear at all and waved excitedly at the small figure on the slope of the valley. Perhaps because of Angelica's complaints, Anna felt that the intimidation had weakened a little.

"..."

Tiamat didn't say anything more. She spread her dragon wings behind her, and with a strong wind strong enough to make people cover their faces, she descended in front of Angelica and the others.

"Hmm... you still like to create some cool scenes."

"Humans don't mind the flowers and plants under their feet, and neither do we. If they are blown down by us, it's just because their bodies are too weak."

It was the first time Anna heard the words of the dragons. Tiamat's voice seemed to carry an unpleasant agitation, and every word she uttered was a shock to her eardrums. It was said that the roar of a dragon could be compared to thunder. I'm afraid that for ordinary people without magical protection, they would have gone deaf the moment they heard the first word.

"Speaking of which, this is the first time we meet. Let me introduce you, this is Anna!"

"…your new toy?"

"She's not a toy. Anna is a perfect beautiful maid."

"Female...what? I told you before, don't keep saying words that I don't understand."

Tiamat had no idea what a maid was. Even though Tiamat was one of the dragons that had the most contact with humans, she had no need or obligation to understand it in depth.

"Just understand her as a servant who is very good at taking care of people. Although, to me, Anna is not just an ordinary servant."

Angelica came to Tiamat with a cold face. Even in her shrunk state, Angelica was still taller than Tiamat's human form.

Angelica placed her hands on Tiamat's seemingly weak shoulders and formally introduced her to Anna and Coppelia.

"Clang clang clang~ I solemnly introduce to Anna and Coppelia, the Mother of Dragons, Tiamat. By the way, I also regard her as a mother."

"Huh? I can't remember when I had a daughter like you..."

"Mother-in-law! No! Mother!"

Coppelia knelt on the ground without saying a word.

"Please give me your daughter Anjie as your wife!"

Tiamat, who had claimed a second ago that she didn't remember having such a daughter, immediately frowned.

"Dream on! I refuse! Don't even think about it!"

"Eh--"

264 A mother about this tall

Dragons usually don't maintain human form, even Tiamat, who is relatively close to humans, is the same. There is no humanoid residence for Tiamat in the Griff Valley, but Tiamat still invited Angelica and others to her lair.

Anna's overload magic storage space has complete outdoor camping facilities, so it is no problem to use it as a short-term settlement. As for why Angelica insisted on going to Tiamat's lair...

"I have collected some good dragon scales! I now have a source of money for my future travel expenses!"

Angelica collected the scales shed by Titiamat and found some dragon scales that could be sold. Some people might be surprised that Angelica didn't just pack up all the scales and sell the inferior ones as genuine ones at full price. But this would be a misunderstanding of Angelica. It is true that she likes to sell at a high price, but Angelica has an inexhaustible supply of dragon scales, so there is no need to be picky.

"You are still the same as before. Seeing that you are in the same spirit as before, I feel relieved."

"This is incredible... Dragons don't like others touching their scales without permission, even if the scales fall off naturally. They actually allow Anjie to pick them up casually..."

"That's right. If you steal it on your own initiative, we will turn you into ashes."

“What a huge disparity in treatment!”

Despite knowing the relationship between Angelica and Coppelia, Tiamat still had a cold face towards Coppelia.

Anna was somewhat surprised at how unfamiliar the two were.

"Lady Coppelia, you have never had any encounter with Lady Tiamat before?"

"No... I care about Anjie, not the people around her... And Anjie doesn't mention her very often! How can I guess their relationship when they only communicate once every few decades!"

Coppelia defended herself, saying that a witch's life would always belong to her, and that as time went by, the death of blood relatives was an inevitable fact. Angelica was already a witch when Coppelia met her, and she started pursuing Angelica much later, so it was basically tantamount to assuming that Angelica's relatives had passed away.

Recognizing one's relatives is even more impossible. Rather, the closer the relationship, the more uncomfortable one will feel when they are separated. Even an elf with a longer lifespan is just a passing guest in the eyes of a witch.

Geppelia overlooked a unique race: the dragon race. In terms of lifespan alone, they are longer than any other race on the continent. They are also one of the few races older than witches. In terms of age, they can indeed be regarded as mothers by witches.

"Human. You just said you were going to marry Angie?"

"An... Angie...?"

"Angelica! I've told you many times, call me Angelica!"

Angelica gloomily corrected Tiamat's pronunciation, but Tiamat frowned in displeasure.

"The name you humans use is very difficult to pronounce. Humanoid, we deny your request."

“Why…I love Ange so much! I’ve even transformed myself into Ange, can’t I prove it…”

"Ok?"

Tiamat stared at Coppelia's face for a moment.

It was normal for Tiamat not to notice that Coppelia's face was the same as Angelica's. Dragons did not have the habit of identifying others by face. Similar to how animals hunt prey and identify owners by smell, dragons used their special eye-discrimination magic to distinguish individuals.

From the perspective of the dragons, the magic power emanating from each race and each individual is unique, so Tiamat was able to discern that Coppelia's body was not human even though she did not reveal her identity.

"Ajie is new to the world and still a young girl. It is only natural for us to worry about being plotted against by someone with ulterior motives."

"It's Angelica..."

“Unworldly…? Who? Anjie?”

"Mister Tiamat is absolutely right."

"Wow... Humanoid, you really understand Aze."

"You guys have too thick a filter for Anjie, don't you?!"

Coppelia's eyes widened, and most importantly, Angelica nodded, as if acknowledging Tiamat and Anna's presbyopia filter.

"I dare say that I am the person who loves Anjie the most in the world. Look, we are both wearing wedding rings..."

"Ah, speaking of rings."

Angelica held her hand out to Tiamat.

"Can you help me take off the ring?"

"How difficult is this? It only takes us a few seconds..."

Although Tiamat did not say what she was going to do, Coppelia had studied dragons to some extent and knew that they were stubborn and always did things in a simple and rough manner.

"Wait, wait a minute! I'll remove the magic! Don't destroy my ring!"

With Tiamat's ability, she will definitely find a way to destroy Coppelia's ring. Coppelia hurriedly stopped Tiamat who was about to take action, and used the magic to remove wedding rings that she had researched some time ago to take off the wedding ring on Angelica's hand.

In fact, Angelica knew that Coppelia had already developed a magic to remove the magic. After all, Coppelia was also a magic genius. She knew the magic formula on the ring and could easily find a way to crack it. However, Angelica also knew Coppelia. After she succeeded in her research, she would definitely think, "Angelia didn't say when to give it to me anyway," and she would delay it for as long as possible.

"I'm not saying I don't want to...it's just a little too early now..."

Angelica tried to comfort Coppelia, who was about to cry, but her words did not escape Tiamat's ears.

"Anqi, you don't reject humans? We are very surprised."

"Gobelle and I have known each other for a long time. Although she is a very strange person, but..."

"but?!"

“…It’s not to the point of rejecting everything.”

"How can you do this! Anjie!"

Coppelia was looking forward to Angelica's subsequent comments, because Coppelia could express her love to Angelica 24 hours a day, but Angelica basically did not.

Angelica saw Coppelia's expectant look and couldn't help wanting to play a trick on her. It was her face, and her lovable look was really adorable.

"It is not a good idea to be ambiguous. Let me ask you again, what do you think of humanoids?"

Unexpectedly, Tiamat persisted and continued to ask Angelica seriously what she thought of Coppelia.

“Eh? You don’t seem to hate me…?”

"If it is not a clear affirmation, we will regard it as a rejection. We do not welcome your enemies."

Tiamat narrowed her eyes. The dragon clan would annihilate any foreign enemy that offended their territory. If Coppelia was not someone Angelica liked, she would have no reason to entertain Coppelia.

265 Friends, it’s delicious

Tiamat was not in the habit of joking, so Angelica could naturally feel Tiamat's undisguised hostility.

"Let me ask you again, what do you think of humanoids?"

Tiamat repeated it again, and Angelica knew that this was the final ultimatum. If she didn't get a clear answer, Tiamat would immediately turn the Griff Valley into purgatory.

"Of course I like it!"

"Very good."

Tiamat received Angelica's clear answer and contentedly put away his boiling murderous aura.

"Hmm...Human, why are you crying?"

“Wuwuwu… No! Please allow me to address you as the great Tiamat-sama! I’ve been waiting for Ange to say this for a long time!”

"It is natural for the insignificant to respect us. I really cannot understand your intentions."

Tiamat obviously had trouble understanding why Coppelia was in tears.

Anna couldn't help but come out to help explain.

"Lord Tiamat, my master has been less than forthright about his true thoughts."

"Anna. Too talkative."

"We cannot resonate with the human mind."
