Eloline felt more and more that something was wrong. From Vitien's tone, did she seem to want her to go right now?
And Vitien didn't intend to hide it, she told Eloline her thoughts.
It turned out that she was ready to leave the southern wilderness because she had many friends scattered around the world, and she had lost contact with most of them over the years, so she wanted to revisit them.
After listening to her explanation, Eloline thought it was a good thing. She was also very happy to see Vitien gradually coming out of the haze.
"You have almost learned everything you need to learn. I will help you consolidate and review the rest. Then it's time for us to say goodbye."
"Thank you."
For Eloline, Vitien's teachings during this period were of great help to her. It can even be said that without Vitien, Eloline would face considerable survival challenges and would be full of unknowns about many things.
At this point, Eloline no longer cares about the mutual assistance contract signed when she first met Vitian. She has become friends with Vitian. Even if there is no so-called contract, when Vitian needs help, Eloline will help her to the best of her ability.
And she also believed that if the situation was reversed, Vitien would help her.
"By the way, Eloline, I have a request."
"what?"
Vitian's expression was serious. "Don't ever say anything about me in front of other dragons. When you talk to them, just pretend you don't know me."
"Uh...I know."
Looking at the extremely serious Vitien, and remembering what Vitien had said before that she had been expelled from the tribe, Eloline felt that there might be some sad story behind this.
But Eloline was not a dragon who liked gossiping, and besides, this question might bring up sad memories for Vitien, so she didn't ask.
"By the way, I won't remove the barrier around this house. If you come to the southern wilderness in the future, you can stay here temporarily."
What Vitien meant by this was that she gave Eloline the right to use the house.
"Thank you. If I go back to the southern wilderness in the future... I will stay here."
But the prerequisite is that by then, Eloline can already transform into human form.
The setting sun was hanging in the sky, and Vitien felt a little hungry, so she patted Eloline's body and said, "You should go hunting, and I will go home to cook."
"Ah."
Eloline also felt a little hungry at this time, but when she heard Vitien say that she was going home to cook, she was very envious.
They are both dragons, but the difference between them is too big.
And Eloline really wanted to know, if she, a dragon, turned into a human, would her appetite also change?
To this, Vitian's answer was: "Don't worry, your body consumes less energy after becoming a human. Of course, if you want to eat, you can still eat things that exceed your human body weight."
"Uh, where did the food go? Was it digested instantly by the stomach?"
"That's right, haha. You can study it slowly on your own later."
Vitien stretched and entered her house, while Eloline prepared to find some more food before dark.
Chapter 1 - Childhood Friends 031 Working hard for the dream
"Thank you, Sister Xia. I can walk the rest of the way by myself."
Licaro stood at the end of the path leading to the city of Edfallon and said goodbye to Xia.
She already knew that Xia was Guoguo's owner, and she also knew that it was Xia who gave her the ability to make friends with animals.
And now Xia has made a small agreement with Likalo that she will take her to the forest to play often in the future.
Xia will try her best to help her recover in advance from the physical damage caused by the explosion of magic power.
After saying goodbye to Xia and Guoguo and leaving, Licaro came to the gate of Edfallon. The clothes she wore, which only nobles could wear, instantly attracted the attention of the guards.
Although the city defense forces suffered heavy losses in the previous monster attack, someone still recognized Licaro and quickly escorted her to the Duke's Mansion.
"Father! Mother!"
Licaro hugged her parents.
Seeing her daughter again, Doris was so excited that she shed tears. Wilfin didn't cry, but he proved his feelings with his actions.
"Father, you're holding me too tight, be gentler..."
Wilfin has been in the battlefield for many years, and even though he is old now, his strength is still terrifying.
"Don't hurt our daughter." Doris looked at Wilfin with some reproach. The latter smiled embarrassedly and let go of Licaro.
I hope my daughter is okay...
"My dear daughter, go and talk to your mother slowly. I have something to do and I'll leave first."
Wilfin will continue to lead the city's reconstruction efforts, and he has a lot to do.
"Please take care of yourself."
"Your father is just that kind of person. He still loves you." Doris said while hugging Licaro.
"Ok, I know."
"How about telling your mother about your experiences these days?"
Doris originally wanted to pick up Licaro, but the nine-year-old Licaro was already difficult to hold, so she led Licaro to the bed and sat down.
Only then did Licaro notice that her mother's leg was still limping.
"Mother, your legs..."
"It's okay." Doris touched Lika Luo's head, "It just takes a while to recuperate, don't worry."
"Yes!" Lika Luo hugged her mother tightly. "Before I tell you about my own affairs, can you tell me what happened in the empire during this period of time?"
Although she is still a child, Licaro cares a lot about national affairs. She only learned a little about them from Vitian when she was in the southern wilderness. Now she wants to learn more from her mother.
After all, if there hadn't been this war, Ed Fallon would not have been attacked by the monsters, and she and her mother would not have been in danger of their lives.
"The war is basically over. Even the monster attack failed to destroy the empire."
The monster attack caused by the Five-Nation Alliance did cause heavy casualties to the empire, but it would not change the outcome of the war at all.
Because the empire had been at peace for too long, so long that the surrounding countries thought that the imperial army no longer had the fighting spirit it once had.
The rulers of the Five Nations Alliance overestimated the power of the monster attack and thus found themselves in a difficult situation.
They are no longer a threat; the empire's real concern lies within.
Some people are nobles of the empire, but under the temptation of interests, they do not hesitate to collude with the enemy to fight against the empire.
Emperor Pate has launched a purge campaign to arrest all proven traitors to the Empire, including even the Captain of the Guards, Fallon.
This was something Emperor Peter could never have imagined, that his former brother and comrade-in-arms would actually betray him.
However, Pater was not a cruel monarch. He treated suspicious people with great caution and tried his best not to cause wrongful killings.
The war caused considerable losses to the empire, but most of them were caused by monster attacks.
Ever since a part of the Wilderness Legion was transferred back, the magical beasts in the empire were quickly wiped out, and even the small magical beasts that originally lived in these areas were affected.
At present, Emperor Petr has decided two things. One is to let the Five-Nation Alliance feel the wrath of the empire, and the other is to launch a war to conquer monsters in the southern wilderness when everything is settled.
In the Warcraft Crusade, the imperial army will no longer stay in the fortress. They will take the initiative to attack into the southern wilderness and eliminate all aggressive monsters.
The purpose of doing this is to control the number of monsters in the southern wilderness, and perhaps reduce the occurrence of monster tides.
This kind of thing should have been done a long time ago, but Emperor Petr knew that conquering monsters would cost a huge amount of money and manpower. The combat power of many large monsters was beyond the reach of ordinary humans, and it would cost a lot to conquer them.
And now is the right time. If Emperor Peter wanted to fight against Warcraft in the past, he would definitely be opposed by everyone in the empire, from the nobles to the common people. But now the shadow left by the invasion of Warcraft hangs over the hearts of everyone. Even though they know that it will be a waste of money and time, the mainstream public opinion is in favor of it.
Emperor Petr was very satisfied. He was old and often worried that the empire would slowly decline after his death. But after the two wars were over, he believed that the bloodiness and tenacity of the imperial people would be reawakened.
Born in hardship and die in comfort. The empire rebuilt after the monster attack may be stronger than the current empire.
Doris told Licaro all the news she knew. If an ordinary child heard such boring things, they would probably fall asleep, but Licaro listened with great interest.
In this respect, Licaro is very similar to her two brothers, but Doris is not the biological mother of Wilfin's two sons, so if we trace back further, it will all be Wilfin's fault.
All three of Wilfen's children have personalities very similar to his.
After listening to her mother's story, Licaro began to talk about her own experience. Vitian had previously asked Licaro not to reveal her information, so Licaro mainly talked about Xia, because her mother and father also knew Xia.
After hearing about the effect of the magic explosion on Licaro's body, Doris hugged her tightly.
"Mother, my body will recover slowly."
"Poor child, I'm sorry I couldn't protect you then..."
"It doesn't matter. I should be the one protecting my mother from now on."
Likalo comforted her mother instead.
"It seems that my daughter has really grown up..."
"So has the swordsmanship instructor that mother found for me arrived?"
How could Licaro forget such an important thing.
"Eh? You're still thinking about this now. Wait until you feel better first."
"No!" Lika Luo started to act like a spoiled child again, "Mom, don't be a scoundrel! You promised to find me a swordsmanship instructor!"
Although Likalo's current physical condition does not allow for strenuous exercise, she still wants to learn swordsmanship.
It didn’t matter if she was more tired than normal because she believed she could hold on.
Doris was a little embarrassed because she considered her daughter's health first and her daughter's thoughts second.
But if I refuse my daughter, she will be very sad.
It really made things difficult for her.
PS: I have to say that there will be a relatively large time span soon, and the childhood of the protagonists will end~
Chapter 1 - Childhood Friends 032 Towards the Future (End)
When Eloline opened her eyes, she realized that the surroundings were very quiet.
In the past, Vitien would wake her up in advance.
Eloline seemed to have a guess in her mind.
When she arrived in front of Vitien's house, she shouted a few times inside.
Got no response.
At this time, Eloline found that the word "goodbye" was displayed on the stone slab used for studying at the door.
Tsk, why didn't Vitien even say hello when she left?
After repeated confirmation, Eloline was sure that Vitien was really gone.
This surprised her, as she thought there would be a farewell scene.
I really don't know what Vitien is thinking.
When she woke up in the morning and felt a little hungry, Eloline flew to the nearest herbivorous monster activity area, caught a random unlucky monster, and then had a big meal.
She had long since completely accepted raw meat, and now she could no longer remember the taste of cooked meat.
Now that Vitien is gone, there is no need for Eloline to stay here any longer.
During these days, Vitian taught Eloline a lot of knowledge, and Eloline's own combat experience continued to improve in the battles with monsters.
Vittian is both her friend and her teacher.
Now Eloline began to think about her own route.
I heard from Vitian that the empire's location on this continent is not in the central area. If you fly eastward, there will be many more countries.
It's just that the continuous huge mountain ranges separate the eastern border of the Silver Eagle Empire from other countries. The mountains in the east are extremely large, and there is no way to find a way to pass through them.
Therefore, it is impossible for humans to cross the mountains, but Eloline can fly over the mountains with her racial advantage, which is not an obstacle for her at all.
Image: "This is a stupid map, there are no rivers", Location: "Images/"
Eloline decided to set off now, hoping to reach the dragon habitat that Vitien mentioned as soon as possible, and then ask for information about her parents.
If she really had parents in this world, she would really like to meet them, or at least thank them for giving her life.
Eloline determined the location of the east by the position of the sun, and then flew towards that direction.
