"So what exactly did the letter say?"
Elorin's tone was somewhat concerned, because the area where Licaro lived was exactly the Edfallon area of the Empire. In other words, Licaro was an Imperial. If there was unrest in the Empire, Elorin was somewhat worried about Licaro's safety.
"Don't be afraid. This isn't the first time this has happened." Vitian guessed that Eloline might be worried about her human friend, so she added, "Don't forget, the little girl lives in Edfallon, a province close to the center of the empire. Even if there is a war, it won't affect that area."
After hearing what Vitien said, Eloline's worries were slightly relieved. Thinking about it carefully, Licaro's family should be aristocratic, and in many cases, the survival rate of aristocrats is greater than that of commoners.

Chapter 1 - Childhood Friend 006 Incomplete Heritage
Elves look roughly the same as humans, except that they have pointed ears which are significantly different from humans. Also, their lifespans are generally much longer than humans, which seems a bit unfair to humans.
But due to their long lifespan and the tradition since the birth of the race, most elves do not like to have too many offspring, so the number of elves cannot compare to that of humans.
According to Vitian, Elvish is more elegant than other languages, has a more comfortable pronunciation, and is suitable for singing.
But Eloline may not have any appreciation ability at all. She thinks Elvish sounds no different from other languages.
"You have never heard the songs of the elves. When you are lucky enough to hear them in the future, you will understand what I mean."
Vitien's words gave Eloline some expectations, but that was a matter for the future.
After officially starting to learn the Elvish language, Eloline still did not encounter any obstacles. Perhaps it was because of her great memory, or perhaps it was because of her strong talent for languages. In addition, Vitia used Dragon Language to teach throughout the whole process, so Eloline's learning speed increased like a rocket.
The only drawback was that Eloline had never practiced writing, so although she remembered the appearance of the characters, it was inconvenient for her to write them. It was too troublesome to carve them on the stone with her claws.
In her spare time, Eloline thought of a problem she had forgotten. She had stayed with Vitien for a month and had actually forgotten this problem.
Taking advantage of the break, Eloline couldn't wait to ask: "Can I become a human in the future?"
Hearing this question, Vitian stared at Eloline quietly, and after a long while he finally said, "Didn't you understand the dragon heritage carefully?"
"But this is not included in my dragon heritage information." Eloline expressed confusion.
"Huh? That's impossible." Vitian was a little surprised: "This kind of basic information will definitely be recorded in the inheritance."
"I didn't lie to you, really."
"..."
Vitian couldn't understand why Eloline's dragon heritage was incomplete. She had never heard of such a situation, so she asked, "Where did your name come from?"
"What the inheritance told me."
"What are your parents' names?"
"do not know."
"……what?"
"I don't know. There is no relevant information in the inheritance." Eloline repeated.
Vittian was obviously stunned for a moment, and after coming to her senses, she asked, "Although you didn't tell me when we first met, can you tell me your last name now?"
"Hmm..." Eloline thought about it and felt that after spending some time together, Vitian was still worthy of her trust. Besides, Eloline really wanted to understand her dragon heritage, so she said, "Eloline Vernoscote. Eloline is the first name, and Vernoscote is the last name."
"Fernoscott..." Vitian fell into deep thought, but finally shook his head: "I have never heard of this surname."
"So all dragons know their parents' names when they are born? But why don't I know them?" Eloline couldn't figure it out, so she guessed, "Could it be that I don't have parents?"
"Pfft!" Vitian was amused by Eloline: "Where did you come from without parents? Since you were born from an egg, you must have parents."
"Well."
Eloline suddenly realized one thing, that is, she did not seem to belong to the native inhabitants of this world, and she still had memories of living on Earth!
There are two possibilities for Eloline's body now. One is that she was completely reincarnated and gained a new life in another world, but retained the memories of her past life; the other is that her soul traveled to another world and attached itself to an unborn dragon egg.
But no matter which possibility it was, Eloline had no way to verify it.
What’s more, what she obtained was an incomplete dragon inheritance. What does this mean?
Eloline discovers that the mystery of her origins may never be solved.
"Although I don't know what happened, my dragon heritage is indeed incomplete, so I hope you can tell me the useful information that I missed..."
"That's no problem, because I've already promised to help you grow."
Vitian became interested in Eloline's origins. She wanted to find out which dragon tribe Eloline came from, and also wanted to find out why Eloline's dragon heritage was incomplete.
Because such a situation has never occurred within the dragon clan, Vitian must pay attention to this matter.
Next, Vitian asked Eloline many questions, all of which were related to the inheritance of the dragon clan when it was born.
Finally, Vitian came to the conclusion that about half of the dragon heritage did not exist in Elorin's heritage.
Eloline felt surprised and lucky at the same time. If she hadn't met Vitien, she really wouldn't have known that her inheritance was incomplete.
Moreover, she met someone who was very familiar with the dragon clan just after she left Ed Fallon. This was really her great luck.
"Huh~" Vitian breathed a sigh of relief: "Next, I will take some time out from teaching you the language to teach you the basic knowledge of the dragon race."
"Well, thank you."
"You're welcome. It's just a mutual benefit."
"But thank you anyway."
Eloline knew in her heart that although it was indeed the conflict of interest that Vitien had mentioned, Vitien was very serious during the teaching period and Eloline was quite satisfied with this teacher.
At this moment, an eagle suddenly swooped down from the sky and landed on Vitien's shoulder. Eloline noticed that there was a mailbox tied to its feet.
This might be the messenger Vitien mentioned earlier. From the outside, it looks no different from an ordinary eagle...
After Vitien took out the letter, the messenger spread its wings and flew away.
Eloline watched her silently as she finished reading the letter. During this time, she could clearly see that Vitien's expression changed from calm to surprise.
Putting down the letter in her hand, Vitian said in disbelief: "My prediction was also wrong. I didn't expect the situation to be so serious."
"what happens?"
"The Empire has gone to war."
Vitian had thought that the previous incident was just an ordinary border friction, but she never expected that the enemy would directly launch an attack. The border fortress in the north of the empire had been besieged.
However, Vitian was only slightly surprised. She smiled and said, "I am not from the Empire, and I don't care about the outcome of these secular wars."
"but……"
"Don't worry, your human friend is in Edfallon, which is far away from the northern border area and will not be affected by the war."
"Ah."
"The empire is very powerful, at least in this area. The enemy ruler who started the war may be crazy."
However, when the weak attacks the strong, it may be like a moth flying into a flame, but it is also possible that the weak has something that can change the situation of the battle.
Continue to observe the situation.
PS: No one is watching it now? The update at 12 o'clock last night was a special case. We will still update it steadily.
Also, the plots of these chapters are indeed very bland, resulting in not many interludes, but this is paving the way for the future, and I will definitely work hard to write a wonderful plot!
So... it would be nice to post a message or give a vote...
Chapter 1 - Childhood Friend 007 Border Blockade
Time flies. While learning languages and hunting monsters, Eloline is also concerned about the situation in the empire. This morning, Vitian's friend brought the latest news.
"Elorin, the Empire's battle line has been maintained, and the enemy has been blocked in the border provinces."
Vitian informed Eloline of the good news, but also brought another piece of bad news - the border of the southern wilderness was blocked by the imperial army and was under round-the-clock alert.
Simply put, those imperial military fortresses located in the southern wilderness have entered a state of war. They have blocked all roads leading to other provinces of the empire from the southern wilderness, including, of course, the sky.
In the face of the early warning device and anti-aircraft magic, not even a bird can fly over.
"Why would the Empire do this?"
Eloline couldn't understand it. The war was clearly taking place in the northernmost part of the empire, but she was in the southernmost part of the empire...
What's more, there are several provinces in the central region between them.
"It may be to deal with the Warcraft tide. This year's Warcraft tide should be coming soon."
The monster tide is easy to understand. After a long period of reproduction, the number of monsters in the southern wilderness has exceeded the carrying capacity of the southern wilderness, so they spontaneously gather into groups and then migrate to other areas.
During the time she spent with Vitien, Eloline would ask her about anything she didn't understand, and now Eloline had a question: "Can I go back to Ed Fallon now?"
"Unfortunately, no." Vitian shook her head. "Even if you fly to the highest point, you will be discovered. The imperial army in the southern wilderness is not a guerrilla force. They are one of the elite forces of the empire."
The Imperial Legion stationed in the southern wilderness has accumulated valuable experience in the confrontation with Warcraft. It's not like they haven't dealt with flying Warcraft before. Under the firepower of anti-aircraft crossbows and mage troops, even an adult dragon would have to think carefully.
What's more, Eloline is just a young dragon whose head has not grown up yet.
It is easier to come than to go back. When Eloline first came to the southern wilderness, the imperial army was not on martial law, and it was at night, so she was not discovered.
Now, facing the highly alert border blockade, if Eloline is not stupid, she will know that it is absolutely impossible to fly over successfully.
"What should I do if I want to go back to Ed Fallon..."
"We can only wait until martial law ends. Don't worry, it won't last long."
"Ok."
Eloline felt a little regretful. After she learned the human language some time ago, she was planning to go back to Edfallon to visit Licaro, but now she encountered such a thing. She was really unlucky.
But Eloline thought of other solutions: "Can I take a detour? Go to Ed Fallon from somewhere else?"
"Unfortunately, this won't work either." Vitian knocked on the stone slab, and a map appeared on it. "Look at this map and you'll know. Edfallon is close to the central province of the empire, and the blockade is very strict. Even if you manage to pass through the border area, you will be discovered when you reach Edfallon."
The empire is now in a state of war, and each province will definitely be under martial law, not to mention the areas close to the central province.
Under the dual influence of the Imperial War and the Warcraft blockade, returning to Ed Faron has become unrealistic.
Speaking of which, the Warcraft tide is understandable, but who is the Empire fighting against?
"Can you tell me about the war the Empire was at with whom?"
"of course can."
Vitien sat down at the small table in front of the door again. Since Eloline was too small to fit into the house, she spent the past few days staying with Eloline at the door.
After calmly drinking a sip of tea, Vitian began to tell the story.
The Empire is just one of the human countries in this world. Its full name is the Silver Eagle Empire, but people usually omit the two words "Silver Eagle" when calling it.
Before the Silver Eagle Empire, there was a prestigious family called the Silver Eagle Family. Their patriarch, Petr Silver Eagle, was a man of extraordinary destiny. He led his family to rise all the way until he unified the surrounding areas and established the Silver Eagle Empire.
The Silver Eagle Empire is so huge that it keeps the surrounding countries awake at night. Under the huge threat, many countries with ordinary strength have formed a defensive alliance to check and balance the powerful Silver Eagle Empire.
The cause of this war is unknown, but it seems to be a territorial dispute in the border area. The Empire is on the defensive in this war, and the offensive is an alliance of five countries.
"There are many suspicious aspects of this war," Vitian said.
"suspicious?"
"The empire and surrounding areas have been stable for many years. Even if there are territorial disputes, they will be resolved through diplomatic means."
War is the continuation of politics. Unless it is absolutely necessary, countries will not easily start a war, because war will cause great economic and population losses. What's more, the Five-Nation Alliance cannot defeat the Silver Eagle Empire at all, so it is really incomprehensible that they would take the initiative to start a war.
"War, it's started by the nobles, and then they send soldiers, mostly civilians, to fight on the battlefield, tsk tsk."
Vittian seemed to find this ridiculous.
In fact, Eloline doesn't care about the empire. She only cares about Licaro, who is a member of the empire.
