The woman yawned and was about to go back to the house when she casually glanced at the frightened Eloline in the sky. This time she finally saw what the flying monster was, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
It turned out to be a black dragon!
At this time, the black dragon seemed to be frightened by the arrow just now and was about to run away. Of course, the woman would not let the black dragon leave like this, so she used the sound transmission magic to shout to the black dragon from a distance: "Don't run! I don't want to kill you, come down and talk?" (Dragon language)
Elolin, who was planning to escape, was suddenly startled. She seemed to hear dragon language!
But that person just now seemed to want to kill me. If the arrow had been more accurate, I would have died on the spot...
But since that person can speak dragon language, it means he is definitely connected to the dragon clan. After thinking about it, Eloline decided to take the risk and gamble that the person will not hurt her again.
What's more, if he really wanted to attack her, she didn't think she could escape. After shooting that arrow just now, the man stopped shooting arrows.
So Eloline decided to take a risk. She flew towards the house, and seeing that the woman had put down the bow, she landed in front of the house.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Vittian. What's yours?"
"Elorin." She didn't say her last name easily.
"It's a black dragon." Vitian took a quick look at Eloline's appearance and asked, "Which tribe is it from? Who is the tribe leader?"
"do not know……"
Elolin is now looking for the dragon tribe.
"Interesting, but that's okay, we have plenty of time to talk."
Vitian asked Eloline to tell him where she came from, but before that, Eloline also had questions of her own: "Are you human? Why do you speak dragon language? What is your relationship with the dragon race?"
In response to so many questions, Vitian said that she would let Eloline answer her questions first, and then he would tell her.
"I was born in the forest, and then after about two months, I got through the early stages of my life, and then I came here."
Eloline didn't say anything about Licaro and Xia, and after removing these, the rest of the content was said in just a few sentences.
"Oh, I see. No wonder you are still so young."
"Can you answer my question now?"
"Of course, but wait a minute."
Vitian returned to the house, brought out a chair and a small table and placed them in front of Eloline, then placed the tea set on the table, poured brewed black tea into the cup, and then took a leisurely sip.
Eloline watched all this silently. Now she couldn't sit in a chair and drink tea like Vitien.
"So why do you know Dragon Language?"
"Because..." Vitian suddenly smiled: "I have many friends in the dragon clan."
"where are they?"
"They left here more than fifty years ago. There are no dragon tribes left in the southern wilderness now."
"..."
Eloline couldn't help feeling disappointed because her expectations were dashed.
Wait, more than fifty years ago...
However, Vitien looked very young. It seemed that she might not be human, or there was some way she could stay young.
From the outside, Vitian looks no different from humans. Living at the foot of the mountains, she has a hermit-like feel.
Vitian also had her own thoughts. She saw Eloline's loss, so she said, "Although the dragon tribe has left, I am still here."
"Well?"
"I also know a lot about dragons, so I can help you."
"Will you help me?"
"Why not?" Vitien asked back, "But I prefer a fair deal."
Vitien's words actually made Eloline feel more at ease. Helping without any reason was more suspicious.
"So what do you want?" Elroline asked.
"let me see."
At this time, Vitien was thinking about what kind of use Elorin could bring. Although he should help her because Elorin was a dragon, Vitien was too lazy to care about so many trivial matters, so he had to find benefits that could satisfy her.
"How about this, I will teach you some useful knowledge, but you have to sign a mutual assistance contract with me."
“What is a mutual aid agreement?”
"It means that when I need your help in the future, you need to help me once. Of course, if it affects your life safety or makes unreasonable demands, the contract will automatically become invalid."
After Vitian's explanation, Eloline almost understood what the mutual aid contract was.
In simple terms, after Vitien helped Eloline, she did Eloline a favor, and then used the power of the contract to prevent Eloline from regretting in the future.
If they trusted each other, there would be no need for a mutual assistance contract, but Eloline and Vitien had just met, so naturally there was no trust between them.
By the way, there is such a magical contract?
"Come, take a look at this contract. If you have no problem, sign it." Vitian presented the contract to Eloline and said, "Don't worry that I will deceive you. The contract is witnessed by the gods."
The contract paper was too small for Eloline, but Vitian could see the words clearly after holding it steady. The content of the contract was written in Dragon Language, so Eloline could read it easily.
Eloline was not stupid enough to sign a contract with anyone casually, but when she focused her attention on the contract, she felt a mysterious power.
That mysterious power made Eloline feel reliable and kind, as if there was really divine power witnessing it, which completely dispelled Eloline's doubts.
So Vitian put the contract paper on the ground, and under her instructions, Eloline placed her claws on the contract paper, and the entire contract paper was almost covered by her claws.
The contract paper flashed with golden light. Vitien pressed her finger on it again, followed by another burst of light.
Then the contract paper burned directly into ashes, but in Eloline's mind she could feel that the contract had been formed.
There was indeed nothing wrong with it. This was just an ordinary mutual aid contract. With the presence of that familiar mysterious power, Eloline had no doubt that there was anything wrong with the contract.
Vitien made an "investment" in Eloline, helping the weak Eloline now in exchange for help in the future when Eloline grows up.
This deal is worth it for both parties.
PS: I have thought about the rationality of the contract. In this world, as long as the contract is in line with the will, it will be witnessed by divine power, so this is not a scam~
Chapter 1 - Childhood Friend 003 Teacher Vitien
"Very good, Eloline. As your teacher, I will start teaching you from now on..."
"Eh? What teacher?"
Eloline remembered that it was originally agreed that Vitien would share information about the dragon clan with her, so why is she claiming to be her teacher now?
"Don't interrupt the teacher when he's talking!"
Vitien hit Eloline on the head with her fist. The seemingly ordinary punch landed on Eloline's head, but it actually made her feel pain.
"..."
Seeing that Eloline shut up obediently, Vitian put his hands on his hips and said seriously: "Although I like to talk about benefits in everything, it doesn't mean that I like to take advantage."
In Vitien's opinion, her current help to Eloline must be equal to the value of Eloline's future returns.
The combat power of an adult dragon is very strong, and it may be of great use when needed. Vitian felt it was shameful to exchange some simple information for Elorin's future help.
Therefore, Vidian decided to become Eloline's teacher. It was quite boring living in the southern wilderness, and she had plenty of time to train Eloline and help her grow into a powerful black dragon.
"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Vittian. Of course I won't tell you my last name. From now on, I will teach you all the necessary knowledge."
Eloline was a little stunned. She didn't expect it to unfold like this. After thinking about it carefully, she felt that this would be of great benefit to her, so she tried to call her, "Teacher Vitien?"
This reminded Eloline of Licaro, the cute little blonde girl who was also her teacher, but she had never called Licaro the word teacher.
"Very good." Vitian nodded in satisfaction, then yawned: "I'll take a nap first, you can go and do something."
"..."
Eloline suspected that she had heard wrongly. Vidyan went to sleep right after becoming her teacher? Shouldn't she have started teaching her right away?
When Eloline wanted to ask, Vitian had already spoken: "Sleep is the most important thing. Let's talk after I wake up."
"All right……"
Watching Vitien return to the house, Eloline didn't know what to do. She couldn't get into the house due to her size, so she could only wait outside.
However, Eloline waited until the afternoon, but Vitien still didn't come out of the house. She didn't dare to call Vitien, because her intuition told her that disturbing Vitien's sleep would result in terrible consequences.
Gradually, Eloline's patience slowly ran out. Just when she couldn't help wanting to shout into the house, she suddenly realized that this might be a test from Vitien.
I have read so many novels and TV dramas in my previous life, and many of them have plots like this. They are deliberately left aside to test your patience. If you don’t even have this little patience, you won’t learn anything.
"I see. I understand."
Eloline was no longer anxious and waited patiently outside the house until the sun set and the sky became completely dark...
Vittian opened her eyes, looked out the window dazedly, and suddenly slapped her head: "Oh, I overslept!"
She hurried out of the house and saw Eloline still waiting, so she asked, "Have you been waiting for me?"
"Ah."
"I'm so sorry, I slept a little too long."
"……It doesn't matter."
In fact, Eloline couldn't help but take a nap before, but it seems that Vitien didn't notice it.
"Then let me tell you about the arrangements for this period of time." Vitian looked up at the moon hanging high in the sky, then sat on a chair next to the door and said, "As a dragon, you must learn to fight. Note that I am talking about fighting against powerful monsters, not bullying those weak and gentle monsters."
Eloline expressed her understanding that fighting was indeed a good way to increase strength, and in order to survive better, she must also improve her fighting ability.
"Secondly, I will teach you the most widely used languages in this world, such as the common language of humans, the common language of elves, the common language of beastmen, etc...."
After hearing what Vitian said, Eloline asked her own question: "Can you tell me about these races first?"
Among the above races, Eloline had only come into contact with humans, and had never seen the last two.
"Don't worry, I will tell you slowly. There are many races in this world."
"understood."
"Well, let's start now. Do you need sleep?"
"Not sleepy yet."
Vitian nodded: "Wait a moment."
Then she went into the house, brought out a thin, but long and wide slab of stone, and leaned it against the door.
The slate was polished very smoothly, even reflective. Vitien held a short stick in her hand and gently tapped the slate, which immediately began to glow.
Then words appeared on the stone slab.
"Display screen?" Eloline blurted out.
"What did you say?"
"No, it's nothing..."
"Do you know the words on the slate?"
"know."
Eloline noticed the words on the stone slab, which turned out to be "Hello" in human language.
"Oh? How come you know human language?" Vitian suddenly showed interest.
"I only know a little bit. A human taught me."
"It seems that you have experienced something in the forest." Vitian smiled, but she did not continue to ask: "Now I will not care about your past experiences. From now on, you must listen carefully."
"Ah."
In the subsequent teaching, Vitian used a slate to write text, which was actually similar to how Licaro wrote on the drawing board, except that the slate was a little more convenient. If Vitian wanted to erase it, she only needed to tap it lightly with the short stick in her hand.
This made Eloline curious about who Vitien was. Since she came into this world, she felt that everyone she met except Licaro was very mysterious.
"I didn't expect you to learn so quickly. I guess I should teach you some difficult words."
Vitian was a little surprised at Eloline's learning speed. At first, she thought it was because Eloline had learned it before, but some words that were obviously unfamiliar to Eloline were also quickly remembered by her. Not every dragon has this kind of memory ability.
But in Eloline's opinion, this is her normal learning speed.
In fact, before, Licaro used human language to teach Elorin writing, which was naturally not as efficient as Vitian who taught in dragon language, so Elorin learned so quickly.
