The black dragon was on all fours, crouching like a cat, its body covered with dark, shiny scales. There were some black horns in the shape of flames on its head, stretching backwards. A pair of black wings on its back were flapping, and its dark blue eyes were erected, with a universe hidden in its pupils, deep and spiritual.
The little black dragon wagged its tail lazily, and instantly the earth shook.
Lu Yao tilted his head back, unable to speak for a long time.
"Lu Yao." Seeing that Lu Yao seemed to be stunned, the little black dragon slowly lowered his head and nudged her very lightly.
Even though he tried his best to control the force, Lu Yao was still knocked to the ground.
Harold slowly looked away, hiding his guilty conscience.
Lu Yao supported himself on the ground with his hands, leaned back, and sat on the ground covered with rough stones. He seemed not to feel any pain, and still maintained the same expression as before, without even moving his eyes.
The hidden uneasiness in Harold's heart gradually grew.
Was she frightened
She thinks dragons are ugly
Or does she just not like Black Dragon
Humans worship dragons, not because they like dragons.
Ultimately, most of it is simply worship of power.
Perhaps he shouldn't have taken the risk.
In front of a human, he turned into a giant dragon, and expected a different response.
Harold slowly lowered his head, lay on the ground, raised his front paws, and covered his eyes.
The dragon was so huge that it came close and lay right in front of Lu Yao.
Lu Yao had seen the forms of most dragons in the illustrated book, including the black dragon.
She knew that Harold was the little black dragon, but the feeling of looking at the illustrated book and seeing it in real life were completely different.
The real dragon was far larger than the one in the illustrations. It lay in front of her like a mountain, with its scales glowing coldly. The slightest movement would cause the earth to shake.
When you see it for the first time, you will feel awe unconsciously, but the way this little black dragon lies on the ground with its eyes covered is really cute.
She couldn't help but raise her hand and touch his chin.
Except for the eyes and claws, the dragon's body is almost entirely covered with hard scales, which feel smooth, cold, and hard.
Harold felt a little itchy on his chin, put down his claws, opened his round dragon eyes, blinked, afraid that he would blow her away if he opened his mouth, and spoke to her in his heart: "Lu Yao, are you afraid?"
A voice suddenly popped into Lu Yao's mind and he was startled. He realized it was Harold and slowly exhaled. He got up from the ground and couldn't help but walk over to touch the little black dragon's claw.
After he transformed back into his true dragon form, the nails on his claws also grew larger, breaking into pieces and then sticking back to the tips of his claws.
The gems that had originally looked like small jewel beans also grew larger and piled up on the tips of his claws like a treasure mountain. The brilliance of the jewels was no less than that of Ambrose.
Lu Yao lay on the tip of Harold's claws and rubbed them, "I didn't know you were so big. But dragons should be this big, right?"
As she spoke, she stood up straight, took a few steps back, and tried to measure the little black dragon's size. When she found it difficult to estimate, she decisively gave up and nodded, "It's tall and majestic, and its scales are shining. You are very beautiful, Harold."
The little black dragon straightened up again, throwing away all the heavy feelings in his heart. He stood up straight and swung his tail gently.
The tip of the pitch-black tail slapped lightly on the ground, raising dust and startling Lu Yao so much that he took a step back.
Harold thought Lu Yao's frightened look was a little silly, but his heart felt warm, as if he had soaked in a hot spring. He immediately said proudly, "I will grow even bigger."
Lu Yao thought of Harold's human form, still a teenager of fourteen or fifteen years old, which probably reflected his age as a dragon.
According to the lifespan of dragons, he might still be an underage dragon and will indeed grow up.
She nodded and took out her phone from her pocket, "I'll take a picture of you so you can see it when you grow up."
Xiao Heilong has never taken a full-body photo, but has taken photos of nails in the store, and often sees Lu Yao using a tablet and mobile phone to take photos of customers' manicures.
When she mentioned that she wanted to take a picture of him, her eyes lit up.
The little black dragon was really big. Lu Yao had to walk very far away and zoom out the camera before he could barely get his entire body into the frame.
She took several photos from different angles, and then asked Harold to lie on the ground and took some beautiful photos of the lazy dragon.
Not far away, Pu Xiu watched Lu Yao's actions, puzzled: "What is she doing? This human race is so strange."
Merulu was also silent. This human was different from anyone they had met before.
Over there, after Lu Yao finished taking the photos, he finally remembered what he had to do outside today, put away his phone and prepared to leave.
The dragon's body was too tall and its scales were slippery, so she couldn't climb up.
Finally, Harold carefully hooked her clothes with his claws, picked her up and put her on his back.
Lu Yao rolled on the little black dragon's back twice and commented: "Well, it's really wide."
The little black dragon spread its wings and flapped them, causing sand and stones to fly everywhere. He warned, "Hold on tight, it's about to fly."
He deliberately erected two rows of scales on his back to make it easier for Lu Yao to grasp.
Lu Yao remained sitting, his hands tightly grasping the unfolded scales.
Perhaps Harold had done something, and the dragon's sharp and hard scales did not cut her.
The ground was getting farther and farther away from her, and only the sound of the wind was in her ears.
It really flew!
Lu Yao rode on the back of a giant dragon and saw the dark green mountains stretching in the distance. There was a thin mist at the junction of the clouds and the mountains, and strange monsters flew by.
The wind caressed her skin and hair, and at that moment she seemed to be free from all restraints and as free as the wind.
The dragon was so fast that the goblin couldn't catch up with it.
Meruru and Pushu chased for a short distance before being left behind.
Pushu sat on a thin branch and looked at the dragon flying away. "What should we do?"
Merulu looked up for a moment and said, "Go back to the store."
"Ah? Why go back?" Pu Xiu looked blank.
Meruru rolled her eyes.
Pu Xiu is still the same as before, not interested in using his brain at all.
"That human should be the owner of the nail salon. Harold is the prophesied black dragon of world destruction. We need to collect more intelligence to stop the ambitions of the Jinkeli clan. We also need to monitor the owner of the nail salon. She knows the identity of the dragon, but she doesn't show any surprise. Based on past experience, she must be plotting a bigger conspiracy." Merulu said.
Pu Xiu nodded blankly: "Collecting intelligence and stopping Jin Clay are no problem. But I don't think that human race has any ambitions."
Merulu curled her lips and said, "At first you thought that the evil Carlos had no bad intentions, but he tricked you into a golden bird cage and locked you in the temple for ten years."
Suddenly being brought up with past issues, Pu Xiu's face flushed red, he lowered his head and whispered, "...Okay, I'll do as you say."
Merulu and Pushu immediately returned to Emerald Town and saw a notice recruiting apprentices at the door of the nail salon.
Pushu moved closer to Meruru, "What's so good about this?"
Merulu pointed at the bottom line of the notice, her expression serious and solemn: "Look, it says here that we are recruiting light magicians, regardless of race."
Pushu: "Well, what's the problem?"
Merulu had already given up hope on Pushu, this guy really didn't want to use his brain for even a second, and she tried her best not to roll her eyes, trying to maintain her ladylike image.
"Why would a nail dyeing shop need magic? Harold is the dark attribute black dragon predicted, and the only magic that can best restrain the dark attribute is light magic. That human store manager must have bad intentions towards the dragon." Merulu said.
Pushu bit his finger, but because of the Carlos incident, he didn't dare to refute, and followed Merulu's thoughts and said: "Then what should we do?"
Merulu raised her chin slightly and stated her plan: "Apply for a job as a store clerk."
-
Lu Yao lay on the back of the giant dragon, overlooking the entire Alexandria continent.
Along the way, they saw groups of goblins fighting ogres, migrating groups of small monsters, adventurers hunting in the barren mountains, and encountered several dragons on their journey.
An adult dragon is bigger than two Harolds. Dragons with different attributes have different scales and eye colors.
They were very interested in Harold's jewel-encrusted claws.
Upon learning of the existence of a nail salon, the dragons agreed to get a manicure after their trip.
After parting with the dragon, passing by a white sand and green lake, Harold paused for a moment and told Lu Yao that he and Si Jin would occasionally come here to take a bath and then roll on the sand to bask in the sun.
The closer we get to the town, the sparser the vegetation becomes and the fewer large monsters there are.
Two hours later, Lu Yao and Harold arrived at the city of Ounoton.
A carriage would take a day and a night to travel, but a dragon could reach the destination in two hours.
Lu Yao thought, this is even cooler than an airplane.
The dragon's body was too conspicuous, so they landed outside the city.
As Harold transformed from a dragon back into human form, black magic automatically wrapped around his body, transforming into the black robes he normally wore.
Lu Yao blinked, "Are your clothes all made by magic?"
Harold nodded: "Yeah."
"So convenient, can you change to another style?"
"What style do you want?"
Lu Yao tentatively said: "A white robe with dark blue patterns, and dark blue shoes as well."
Harold moved his fingertips, and black mist wrapped around his body, slowly transforming into the clothes described by Lu Yao.
Lu Yao tilted his head to look at Harold, pointing at the collar and cuffs, "Here, here, and here, can you add some gold edges?"
Harold usually watched Lu Yao do her manicures, so he understood what she meant and did as she said.
Lu Yao looked Harold up and down. The young man with a high ponytail and wearing a white uniform had straight shoulders and back. Half of his usual lazy temperament was gone, as if he was an aristocratic boy from somewhere.
She nodded with satisfaction. "That's it. Very nice. This magic is not mentioned in the book. Go back and teach me."
The magic of dress-up is simply amazing!
The magical world always gives her surprises in unexpected places.
"Yeah." Harold had no objection and was a little excited at the thought of being able to teach Lu Yao.
The owner usually acts so capable that sometimes he forgets that she is a human being and subconsciously thinks that she can be compared with dragons.
The only thing he kept in mind was that her body was fragile and must be well protected.
The two of them went into the city together and found Sasha Pharmacy.
Unfortunately, Fisa had been away from the forest where the elves lived for too long, and most of the fairies she knew could no longer be found.
Lu Yao did not get any useful information, chatted with Feisa for a few words, and then left Sasha Pharmacy.
She was thinking about other possible ways to find the fairy, and when she looked up, she saw a fortune-telling stall in the alley next to her.
The stall owner was a bright-looking young lady with beautiful light blue eyes and hair, just like the sea water. Lu Yao was stunned for a moment.
The fortune teller Du Manning saw Lu Yao and Harold and called out, "Want a fortune teller? My fortune teller is very accurate and very cheap. Would you like to try it?"
Lu Yao suddenly had an idea and walked to the fortune-telling stall. "I'm looking for fairies. Can I find them through divination?"
Du Manning looked at me with a bit of scrutiny. After a moment, he slowly nodded and held out his hand: "Twenty copper coins."
Lu Yao took out a copper coin and handed it over.
Du Manning took it and carefully put it into his purse, then took out a spherical transparent crystal and placed it on the beige cushion in front of him.
She chanted a long spell into the divination crystal, and images began to appear in the crystal.
These images kept flashing like breakpoints, including forests, beaches, swamps, plains... There were one or two little people with wings in each image, and Lu Yao's eyebrows suddenly twitched.
Du Manning glanced at her and asked, "What did you see?"
Lu Yao stared at the crystal carefully, and after a moment his brows relaxed. "I seem to see a pair of fairies in my shop."
Although it only flashed by for a moment, the scenes seemed to repeat themselves. The decoration of the store was different from that in the wilderness, and she noticed it at a glance.
Du Manning stared at the crystal, and the picture in the crystal suddenly stopped. "Is this your store?"
In the picture, Merulu and Pushu were lying on a round glass table in a nail salon with a comic book spread out in front of them, and snacks and water beside them.
Lu Yao nodded: "Yes. Your divination skills are indeed very accurate. We have to go back first. Thank you."
She turned around, picked up Harold, and hurried back.
Du Manning suddenly stood up and said, "Guest, wait a minute."
Lu Yao turned back: "Hmm?"
Du Manning pinched his fingertips and whispered, "The guest has a strange aura. Are you not from here?"
"Well, you can say that." Lu Yao was a little anxious, afraid that he would go back too late and miss the fairy who came to him on her own initiative.
"Would you like to have a divination?" Du Manning asked.
"Huh? Me?" Lu Yao was a little surprised.
"Well. There is a complex aura around you, with light and shadow interweaving, which may be hiding something bad. Don't worry, my divination skills are very accurate." Du Manning said seriously.
The fortune teller was so pretty that Lu Yao was embarrassed to refuse and sat down patiently: "What should I do?"
Du Manning stretched out his hand and said, "A gold coin."
"..." Lu Yao immediately stood up and said, "Forget it, forget it. I don't need it."
Du Manning grabbed Lu Yao, frowned slightly, looked pleading, and said in a tender voice: "Please, can you tell my fortune for me? I am not from here, but I was stranded in this city by accident. I wanted to go back to my hometown, but I was short of money, so I set up a stall to tell fortunes. But people in this city don't believe in fortune tellers, and most of the people who come to tell fortunes are scoundrels... There are very few serious customers who want to tell fortunes."
Lu Yao: “…”
If this young lady wasn't so pretty, she would have called Harold to take action.
Du Manning thought Lu Yao was moved by her words, and continued: "I can't walk too far, my legs will hurt. But as long as I have one gold coin, I can rent a carriage to go back home. I really just want to go home, I'm not lying to you. How about this, for one gold coin, I will make an exception and tell fortunes for you and this young man once each."
Harold walked over and raised his hand to shake Du Manning off.
Lu Yao stopped him in time and sat down again.
A thin layer of moisture condensed in the beautiful fortune teller's eyes, moistening her blue eyes, which instantly looked more like the sea.
She may really be desperate and want to go home.
Lu Yao took out a gold coin and handed it over, "Okay, don't cry."
Du Manning took the gold coin, as if someone had pulled him back from the edge of a cliff. He raised his hand to wipe his eyes, wiping away the tears. "Who's going first?"
Lu Yao: "I'll go first. But how do we do it?"
"Put your hand on the divination crystal." Du Manning whispered.
Lu Yao stretched out his hand and covered the crystal, and a picture emerged.
