"Huh."
Just as Joshua was communicating with the humanoid dragon named Fina, Loranda, who was sitting next to him, suddenly exclaimed: "There is good news."
The warrior and the female dragon looked at each other, and then turned to look at the paladin. Loranda naturally knew what to do now. He showed the holy light curtain suspended in front of him to everyone.
The Holy Mountain, the headquarters of the Church of the Seven Gods, has its own special method of communicating with many priests, and the Holy Light Curtain technology that uses the connection between holy lights to transmit information is already very mature. Loranda can be regarded as the future of the Holy Mountain. As a core senior executive, the information he receives is always very timely.
[The Duke of Nanling led two hundred family knights at the central defense line to repel the mad dragon leader 'Aurora Dragon' Magina, forcing him to flee in fear]
[The Third Kingdom Legion defeated the Iron Winged Dragon swarm on the eastern coast and around the Mentor Islands, and recaptured the Arnaud Harbor]
[His Excellency Keith of the Kirkclough family led the Blood Mist Army, clearing the dragon beast obstruction between the Naka Mountain Fortress Group and the Far South Kingdom Army Headquarters, opening up the lifeline of the southwest of the kingdom]
The following messages were similar. The Far South Kingdom suddenly experienced great victories, while the Mad Dragon retreated steadily, and the tense situation was instantly reversed.
"It seems that the Five-Colored Dragon Clan is indeed shrinking its troops."
Joshua took a cursory glance and discovered this sign: "They are about to launch a general attack on the Holy Mountain. The Far South Kingdom is no longer the main invasion target, so the strong ones have no intention of fighting, and the low-level mad dragons have lost their command, otherwise these people will definitely It’s not that easy to complete the task.”
Maybe they themselves are still wondering why the enemy was defeated so easily.
On the other side, Fina does not seem to recognize human writing - of course, it is more likely that the Holy Mountain is accustomed to using elegant and complex cursive characters, so the female dragon, who is only proficient in Common Language, cannot understand it at all, and can only let Hill Retell it to yourself bit by bit.
After hearing Joshua's conclusion, Fina also lost interest in the dense information above. She simply stood up and invited Joshua: "What, are you still interested?"
Fina's tone was direct, but with a hint of kindness. Her purpose of coming to the rest cabin was obvious, which was to stir up the topic of humanization magic.
"Of course." Joshua also stood up. He drank all the tea in the cup in one gulp, then wiped his mouth and said, "But I am more interested in what to do next."
"Leave that kind of matter to me." Signing for Joshua to follow her, Fina smiled and took Hill's hand, and then left the rest cabin resolutely. As she walked, she said: "Hei is waiting for us. .”
Seeing the helpless look on the elf boy's face, almost dragging him out, Joshua shrugged, and then said hello to Loranda who was still drinking juice: "Then I'll go first."
"Let's go, let's have the rest cabin all to myself." He waved his hand indifferently, and the Paladin looked indifferent: "It just so happens that I want to pay attention to the current situation."
After saying that, he turned around and fiddled with the Holy Light Screen in front of him, paying attention to the battle reports in the Far South and around the Holy Mountain.
The soldier immediately followed Fina and others and walked towards the other end of the cabin.
"It seems that Hei communicated with this Ms. Fina for a while when I went to kill the Abyss Demonic Dragon."
While walking, Joshua casually guessed: "These two people seem to be very compatible, otherwise Fina wouldn't have expressed her thoughts so directly when she saw me, and then invited me so directly. .”
It seems that this matter is also Hei's wish.
The dragon's body is indeed a battle machine that has been tempered for thousands of years. It can be said to be perfect in a certain sense, but for Hei who can only stay in the snowy mountains and lakes of Nissii, that huge body can only make it feel boring and annoying. , and there are no similar people around, which makes it feel even more lonely.
Perhaps, just like No. 3, Hei also wants to have a human body and be able to live with everyone.
Everyone moved quickly, and within a few minutes, they arrived at a cabin at the bottom of the ship.
This cabin is very wide, enough to accommodate the activities of a giant dragon. There is no doubt that space magic has been used to expand it.
On one side of the cabin, there was a valve leading to the outside world, which seemed to facilitate the entry and exit of something. On the other side were some fragmented huge pieces of armor and equipment. Joshua could identify that these things in front of him were for What the giant dragon uses, only the dragon's body can be equipped with those armor pieces that are as tall as several people.
In a corner of the compartment, Hei was lying lazily in a magic circle on the ground, seeming to be resting. The previous fight with the sea beast was indeed easy for him, but he at least put in some effort and tried his best. He released the dragon's breath several times, so when Joshua and Loranda went to rest in the rest cabin, he also asked the crew of the Time Ship to take Heiye to take a rest, which seemed to be here.
The runes in the circle shimmered, activating the surrounding fire elements, creating an environment most suitable for Hei. There was no doubt that the half-dragon was very comfortable now, almost falling asleep.
But after Fina opened the door, Hei immediately opened his eyes and looked up at the door alertly. This was due to the vigilance of his blood. However, after noticing that the aura of his master was among the group of people who came in, the half-dragon immediately stood up. He stood up and trotted to the soldier's side.
"I'm disturbing your rest." He smiled and touched Hei's head. Joshua suddenly frowned again, stared at the opponent's golden dragon eyes and reprimanded in a low voice: "Okay, don't lick my hand, you have to change this." bad habit."
Stopped by his master's serious tone, the half-dragon retracted his barbed tongue looking a little unhappy, while Fina on the side also shook her head and said: "Hei just wanted to express his closeness. There’s no need to be so serious.”
"To be honest, I actually don't care."
Rubbing the smooth scales on the black head vigorously, Joshua replied calmly: "But most people can't stand its closeness... That lick just now, even a stone will be scraped off a layer, ordinary steel The armor will be shattered, so I can bear it."
At this time, Hei's overall shape is closer to that of a traditional winged dragon, but the wings on both sides of its body are extremely thick. It is not so much for flying, but to maintain its center of gravity in the water. The two wings on its head are The branches have also become more slender, and at the same time they are extremely sharp. At least they can pierce the wall of the lord's mansion accidentally - if not for this, Joshua would not have sent it to the Nissii Snow Mountain Lake. Thanks to Hei, the wall in the backyard of the Lord's Mansion has been rebuilt seven or eight times.
The dragon's whole body is covered with weapons and armor. This is no lie. It's not just scales, claws, wings and sharp angles. It has barbs and a tongue that is comparable to a scraper. The half-dragon's tail actually also has Possessing terrifying power, as long as Hei is willing, it can spread the scales and bone spurs on its tail at any time, turning its smooth long tail into a long whip full of blades and barbs, whipping and tearing the enemy to pieces.
"I can see that you are unhappy that you cannot live with us because of your size."
Joshua bent down slightly and stroked the half-dragon's neck. He said to Hei in an unusually gentle tone: "As your master, I will not suppress your thoughts. On the contrary, I will fulfill your wishes... Hei, tell me." , do you want to turn into a human form?"
The warrior was also a straightforward person. He asked the half-dragon directly without any tact.
After Hei Zai was stunned for a moment, he turned his head and glanced at the blue-haired lady on one side.
Fina smiled and nodded to it, and Black seemed to be determined. It showed a grateful look to the blue-haired lady, and then nodded seriously to Joshua.
"That's good."
Standing up straight, Joshua turned his head and said calmly to the blue-haired humanoid female dragon: "Ms. Fina, you must have been chatting with Hei for some time before this. You two seem to be very compatible, otherwise we wouldn't be like this. There is an obvious desire to make it come true.”
At this point, his tone became serious: "Are you willing to help us?"
"Of course, I, Fina, am a dragon that is willing to help others." When she said this, the blue-haired woman whose prototype was a seastegosaurus looked at Hill, who had been silent beside her, and her tone became gentle: "Otherwise , and I won’t meet my cute little Hill.”
"I am a marine druid. When I encounter a sea dragon that is stupid enough to be seriously injured and stranded on the beach, I will naturally help!" With a slight snort, the elf boy arranged his long black hair and complained: "The result When you woke up, you almost ate the transformed me."
"I apologized..."
"After apologizing, you stayed at my house like this - if it wasn't to fill your belly, why would I have accepted the invitation from the Holy Mountain to explore the sea in such a dangerous place!"
While the two were bickering, the situation became clear.
When Joshua went to kill the Abyss Demonic Dragon, the two giant dragons Hei and Fina joined forces to kill many corrosive sea beasts. After the battle, they chatted for a while, and the half-dragon inadvertently expressed their feelings for each other. The trouble with his usually huge body.
The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. As Fina herself said, she is indeed an enthusiastic dragon. She even got involved in some things in the past because she was too enthusiastic, and was seriously injured and stranded on the beach.
Although she looked a little cold, that was just the appearance, so after returning to the Time Ship, Fina directly found the rest cabin where Joshua was, and then prepared to go to inquire and listen to the black master's opinion.
Coincidentally, the warrior was also chatting with the elf boy about related issues. Since both parties had this idea, things would be much simpler.
"Even for a giant dragon, human transformation magic is an extremely complex magic. The first time you cast the spell, you will definitely need the assistance of others."
Taking a step forward, Fina walked in front of Hei, and then hugged Hei's neck very intimately. She explained to Joshua on the side: "My transformation is my father, who has blue hair." It was taught by Long, and Black’s first transformation will definitely require my assistance.”
"It's okay, I don't understand this aspect, you can do whatever you want."
Taking a step back, Joshua was indeed not proficient in this area of knowledge. He allowed the blue-haired lady and Black to whisper some matters related to transformation and preparations, and planned to stay where he was, waiting for the half-dragon. Transformation completed.
While waiting, he glanced sideways at Hill, who was still arranging his ponytail. His eyes moved slightly, as if he saw something.
Then, the warrior asked the elf boy curiously: "Speaking of which, Mr. Hill, druids can all transform. Most of the forest druids on land transform into deer, eagles, wolves, and bears." The marine druids are various fish and marine monsters... So, what is your transformation?"
"...Don't ask this question!"
After hearing the soldier's question, Hill, who was arranging his ponytail, moved his hands and his face became stiff. But soon, he became a little angry and self-defeating and said: "Anyway, you will know in a few days! Don't ask now this problem!"
He seemed to be very taboo about this issue and seemed reluctant to talk to others. Joshua looked thoughtfully at the tattoo pattern revealed on the other person's collarbone and made a guess in his mind.
No wonder... He was almost eaten by Fina when he was in the transformed state.
On the side, the blue-haired female dragon and Hei were also ready.
Fina bit her finger, and cyan blood with a trace of arc flashed out from the wound. She neatly used her own blood to draw more than a dozen complicated patterns on the black scales and carapace. Many of the runes were primitive spells that Joshua had never seen before. The warrior could only see that these runes involved the mutual transformation of matter and soul, and even had a slight connection with the subspace.
These runes connected with each other, and then emitted a little cyan light, forming a smooth pattern covering the half-dragon's body, like a circuit board, and Black also cooperated exceptionally well to provide it with magic power.
"It's about to begin."
Standing in front of the half-dragon, pressing her white palms on Hei's head, Fina's cold voice echoed in the cabin. She seemed to be reminding Hei, and she also seemed to be telling Joshua that the prerequisite for human transformation magic was The preparation is complete.
"Roar!"
With a low roar, Hei nodded seriously, indicating that he was ready.
Then, Fina withdrew her hand, and suddenly, a dazzling cyan flash filled the cabin.
Accompanied by the dazzling electric arc beating, the runes drawn on Hei's body, which were originally guided by Fina's blood, suddenly squirmed as if they were alive. They absorbed the magic power in the atmosphere, and were based on a man who had completed the transformation magic. The information in the dragon's blood is structured, changing the half-dragon's body bit by bit.
A burst of scorching hot wind overflowed from the half-dragon's body. The power of the fire element was boiling, and the cyan light surrounding the black body was dyed violet. In this light, accompanied by Huge magic power fluctuations and weak space-time soul fluctuations caused the half-dragon's shape-shifting pendant to be completely shattered. However, its size did not become larger. Instead, it shrank little by little, turning into something like The size of a human girl.
The cyan runes turned into smooth tattoos at this moment, covering Hei's body, and its appearance was rapidly changing - becoming a human form.
The black dragon head and its scaly carapace dispersed in the light of magic, turning into a beautiful girl's head, with silk-like black hair fluttering in the magic, followed by a snow-white neck and collarbone, The seemingly weak shoulders are gradually taking shape.
At first, Joshua watched this scene with great interest, but when Hei's body gradually transformed into a heroic human girl's ketone body, his expression suddenly changed, and then he walked quickly to the other person and stretched out his arms. out of his own hands.
At this time, the girl's body has completely transformed, leaving only the horns on the top of her head and a long tail that have not yet completed the transformation. Her eyes are closed tightly, as if she is sleeping, and her undulating chest is inlaid with a star that is flowing with the rays of the sun. crystallization.
Regarding Joshua's move, Fina next to him had no time to stop him. The warrior saw through all the magic flow around him at a glance. His hand passed through the gaps between the magic runes, and then pressed it on Hei's forehead. At the same time, he issued a low scolding: "You idiot, put your clothes on for me!"
The eyelashes of the girl transformed by Black trembled slightly, and then she opened her eyes in confusion. Her golden eyes still had the unique vertical pupils of the giant dragon, and the water mist in her eyes was hazy, as if she was still half asleep and half awake.
Of course, when Hei noticed the warm hand on her forehead, she reacted quickly.
Suddenly, the surging magic power changed slightly, and the smooth cyan lines covering the girl's body quickly faded away, and then layers of black armor appeared out of thin air along the place where the tattoo was originally located, covering her body.
Fina, who was originally planning to stop her, looked at this scene and slowly retracted her hand. She sighed and said: "I was shocked... The first human transformation is almost over. She should be able to transform herself next time." , the speed will also become faster.”
"Thank you, Ms. Fina."
He also retracted his hand. Joshua looked at the black-haired girl in front of him who seemed to be at a loss, and showed a faint smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Hei."
At this time, the girl transformed by Hei Suo is more heroic than beautiful. She wears a light dragon scale armor on her upper body. The lower body is wearing a black battle dress, and the waist-length hair as black as ink is slightly swaying with the wind of magic, and the slightly narrowed eyes reveal a hint of the golden cold light of a predator from time to time.
On both sides of the girl's head, the two slightly curved dragon horns still maintain their original shape, and in the center of her chest armor, a golden spar can be seen shining.
"She looks more like Rin's sister than Hotaru... Of course, Rin is older than Hei."
Secretly commenting on the black man's appearance, Joshua touched his chin, recalling the young butler who also had black hair and golden eyes, and whispered softly: "It's surprisingly not bad, is it the effect of human transformation magic, or is it the black dragon? Is it actually beautiful inside?”
At this point, Fina can answer: both. In any case, Hei inherited the bloodline of the ancient dragon. For the dragon beasts, this is equivalent to the top bloodline. How could they feel ugly?
After Hei turned into a human form, she stood there confused for a while before slowly waking up. After waking up, she blinked her eyes, looked at her hands with joy, and then looked up in front of her. of Joshua.
Half-dragon... At this time, it was time to call the girl. She called out softly, and was about to pounce on her master as usual, and then say hello energetically, but at the moment she stretched her legs -
Just hearing a snap, the girl fell flat to the ground.
