Likalo didn't reply, so Eloline continued, "Have you ever liked someone before?"
"No." Licaro answered truthfully. Although many nobles had tried to arrange marriages for their offspring with her since she was a child, she didn't like any of them.
Eloline took a few deep breaths and then asked, "Do you like me?"
"Well! I, I..." She didn't expect Eloline to be so straightforward.
"You know which one I like."
"..."
Licaro was silent. She felt that the so-called love might be her illusion, because she had only met the humanoid little black dragon for two days.
If you fell in love in just two days, then the only explanation is love at first sight.
But do I really like Xiao Heilong and do I really like girls?
This was the first time Likalo faced this kind of problem, and she really had no idea.
At this moment, Eloline felt a little regretful. If she had known earlier, she would not have rented a couple's room. This kind of environment really made it easy for her to have wild thoughts.
She is attracted to girls, and Likalo is so cute and pretty, with a very likable personality. She is the perfect girlfriend in her mind.
Could it be that her friendship towards this good friend has changed?
Eloline knew that love between girls was taboo. If Licaro was also female and liked her, then she...she could really do it.
Although she had never thought of looking for a partner before, she could accept it if the other person was Licaro.
The prerequisite is that the other person also likes you.
"I only have friendship for the little black dragon and have no thoughts of falling in love with him." Likalo gave her own answer.
She thought that the reason why she blushed and her heart beat fast because of the contact with Eloline was simply because she was not used to seeing Eloline in human form.
Maybe it will be fine in a few days.
After listening to Licaro's explanation, Elorin said she understood.
Maybe this is just the reaction because I have never had close contact with a girl before, and it may not necessarily be love.
Things should have ended like this, but Licaro suddenly had an idea.
"Why don't we do an experiment..." Licaro suggested.
"experiment?"
"Well, let's confirm whether we are good friends or not."
According to her thinking, if all they have is friendship, then they will not care about what lovers should do.
You have to know that many of the previous intimate actions were actually done unintentionally, but if you take the initiative to do it, will you feel resistance?
Therefore, the so-called experiment is that after completing the revenge, Eloline and Licaro will take a day to spend time together as a couple.
Eloline thought Licaro's idea was a little crazy, but was it really reasonable?
She couldn't believe that it was Licaro who suggested this.
"In order to face up to our friendship, I have no choice but to do this."
Licaro's words seemed a little lacking in confidence, because this test did look strange.
"Okay then. I agree."
After hesitating for a while, Ai Luolin agreed with Lika Luo's idea. She didn't want to think about it anymore. She would just do what a couple should do and see if she would feel anything...
If you don't feel anything, then you can only say that everything that happened before was a misunderstanding.
And if both parties feel the same way, it won’t be a bad thing.
If she really was with Licaro, Eloline felt that she could accept it.
I just don't know what Likalo is thinking.
"Go to bed. We have things to do tomorrow."
"Ah."
What we need to do now is to complete our revenge, and everything else can be put aside for the time being.
It seemed that after Licaro proposed this idea, the restlessness in their hearts calmed down.
Let's deal with this matter after we complete our revenge.
So Licaro continued to fall asleep, and this time she seemed to be very honest and did not cross the line to where Eloline was.
This way, Eloline can fall asleep peacefully.
When it was morning, the noisy sounds from the street outside could be heard in the room even with the windows closed.
Today is the day of the competition, and it has become very lively outside since early in the morning.
After waking up, Eloline found that Licaro was still asleep, so she began to think about today's assassination plan.
The competition was divided into two sessions. The first was the competition for commoners, where the lord would sit on the high stands and watch. The second was the competition for nobles, where the lord might also participate.
The Games was a national event, and nobles from other regions were also invited to come here, so the security at the Games was very strict.
Fortunately, Licaro still remembered the lord's appearance, otherwise it would be too embarrassing to not find him in the stands with dozens of nobles.
Although Eloline had never directly confronted humans, the dragon elders had shared some experiences with her during her travels around the world.
Eloline is still a minor now, but even if she is, she cannot fight against the defense of a human city alone.
The dragon race is not as invincible as imagined. In fact, facing the large-scale war machines of humans or other races, the dragon race's defense is very fragile.
Strong human warriors or magicians can cause damage to dragons, and there have been humanoid races in history who have slayed dragons alone.
Therefore, Eloline could not simply transform into her original form, make a scene and then walk away.
The predecessors have said that most dragons remain neutral towards other races, so it is better not to provoke racial disputes if there is nothing to do.
Attending a civilian competition might be a good idea, as competitions allow for facial coverings and support anonymous participation.
Those who rank high in the conference will have the opportunity to meet the lord.
This is also a good opportunity for assassination.
PS: You may think it is unreasonable to use the way couples get along to verify friendship, but I believe it is possible (escape)
Chapter 2 - Disaster 022 Buying a Staff
The Noble Tournament is a glorious duel between knights, so the use of such devious means as magic is strictly prohibited.
But there are not so many restrictions in civilian competitions, and you can even use your own weapons and equipment.
Of course, the athletic competition is just a competition after all. If anyone deliberately kills his opponent, he will be caught and convicted on the spot.
Eloline felt that she could participate as a mage, and avoiding close combat could reduce the chance of being exposed.
But before that she had to go to the equipment store in the city to buy a staff.
The magic gem in the staff can make up for Eloline's lack of magic power, or at least return her magic power to normal.
And if the magic power in the staff is also exhausted, then Eloline can directly engage in hand-to-hand combat. In terms of strength, no human can match her.
At this time, Likalo also woke up and started to put on her clothes in bed.
Eloline told her what she was thinking.
"Is that so? How about I join in too?"
"Well, what if you get hurt?"
"..."
Licaro thought what Eloline said was very funny. She was not as delicate as she thought, and she had experienced a lot of battles.
There is no restriction on identity in the Civilian Games, so it doesn't matter even if Licaro is wanted, as her robe can cover her face.
And she also wants to participate in the competition as a magician. As a human being with a physique of magic power, the magic power in her body can be regarded as infinite magic power if it is simply used to cast magic.
This could not help but make Eloline very envious.
"Come with me to buy a staff first."
"Ah."
After arriving at the equipment store in this city, Lika Luo advised: "Try to buy a better one, don't be stingy with the money."
"it is good."
Eloline walked to the display case, picked up a staff of unknown material and examined it.
Different magic patterns are engraved on the shafts of different staffs. These patterns have different functions. For example, some can enhance the recovery speed of magic power, some can increase the user's spellcasting strength, and some can increase the user's spellcasting speed.
The magic power of the staff is stored in the magic gem on the top, which is the truly important part of the staff.
If the magic power in Eloline's body were quantified, her total magic power would be 1 unit, and the worst staff could provide 5 units of magic power.
This is enough to show that the magic power in Eloline's body is pitifully scarce, even not as much as many human magicians.
Eloline looked for a long time but still couldn't find a staff that satisfied her.
"Are these wooden staffs too brittle?"
"Most magic wands are not strong..." Likalo, who was standing next to her, couldn't understand. No one used a magic wand as a weapon. The main function of a magic wand was to provide magic power.
"Look at this, how about it?" Eloline read the introduction next to it. The staff in her hand was now engraved with [Solid Magic Pattern], which was specially used to enhance the strength of the staff.
Licaro was very surprised. Would someone really enchant a staff with this kind of magic pattern?
At this time, the clerk of the equipment store came over and said embarrassedly: "Sorry, I made you laugh. Actually, I was responsible for enchanting this staff, but due to my negligence, the enchantment became a solid magic pattern. As a result, it has not been sold yet."
"How strong is this exactly?" Eloline waved the staff in her hand, making a swish sound.
"It is stronger than standard military weapons, so it can be used for close combat. In addition, the magic gem in this staff can store a lot of magic power, so it can be used for multiple purposes."
The clerk began to explain incessantly that although this was the product of a failed enchantment, he was still confident in his enchantment skills.
"It's just that... because of the solid magic pattern, this staff is very heavy."
In fact, when the clerk saw Eloline waving her staff easily just now, he knew that this lady was definitely not an ordinary person.
Sure enough, Eloline didn't think this was bad at all. Instead, she was very satisfied: "Then buy this. How much is it?"
"300 gold coins."
Lika Luo poked her at the side: "Do you really want to buy this? We can buy a staff with more magic power with our money."
“Just buy this one.”
Eloline felt the magic power stored in the magic crystal and estimated that there were 20 units, which was 20 times the magic power she herself stored.
But even so, she still couldn't compare with Licaro, but Eloline was actually very satisfied.
"OK then."
Likalo took money out of her backpack to pay the bill. Now she was in charge of the money. After spending the 300 gold coins, they had almost no money left.
Fortunately, there are bonuses if you participate in the competition and get a place.
After leaving the equipment store, Licaro wanted to try out Eloline's staff. When she took it, she was surprised to find that it was heavier than the two-handed greatsword.
"It's so heavy, but you can lift it so easily..."
"I am a dragon after all," Eloline said in a low voice, "But I also envy your reserves of magic power."
"This is just an example. By the way, you know how to use the staff, right?"
"Ah."
To put it simply, the function of a staff is to store magic power to make up for the lack of magic power in the caster's body.
When the magic power in the magic gem inlaid on the staff is consumed, it will slowly recover over time, but the process is very slow.
But Lika Luo said there was no need to worry: "If the magic power in the little black dragon's staff is used up, I can help you replenish it."
"Eh? How do I replenish it?"
"It means transferring the magic power in my body into the crystal, but only someone like me who has a magical fountain physique can do this."
Eloline remembered what Vitien had said before: "Uh, it's not about handing it in... ahem."
She suddenly realized something was wrong and quickly shut up.
