The strangers claimed to be believers of the God of Hope and came here to save them in the name of God.
Although the Kingdom of Lombard was a polytheistic country, no one had ever heard of a god of hope.
But this stranger really brought them hope——
The "miracle" he prayed for made the barren land fertile and rich, the dried-up river was filled with clear water again, and the entire village was revived.
In the eyes of the villagers, this was simply incredible. The outsiders simply knelt on the ground and prayed to the God of Hope, and a miracle actually happened.
Although everyone has their own gods to believe in, no one has ever actually seen a miracle with their own eyes.
In the past, villagers believed in so many gods, but when they encountered disasters, the gods did not send down miracles to save them.
Faced with the facts before them, it is self-evident which one is truly worthy of their belief.
"As long as you sincerely believe in the God of Hope, miracles will happen again sooner or later."
The outsider's words caused a great response among the villagers. Except for a few villagers who were unwilling to convert, most of the remaining villagers believed in the God of Hope.
The stranger then handed the villagers a black statue with a strange appearance, and asked them to worship it and pray to it every day.
After the strangers left, the villagers quickly cleaned up the most spacious and cleanest house and enshrined the black statue.
What no one knows is that the black statue is constantly emitting the aura of disaster, but because it is invisible, no one can detect it.
It didn't take long before the villagers who chose to believe in the God of Hope became fanatical believers.
They gathered together, picked up pitchforks, axes and other tools, and began to force the remaining people to believe in the God of Hope.
Whether it's their wives, husbands, or children...
Anyone who refused to convert was brutally executed.
This happened in many villages in the Kingdom of Lombard.
Chapter 2 - Disaster 034 I Want to Ride You (Update)
Likalo completed her revenge and according to her original idea, she prepared to return to her hometown.
But after a silent confession to Eloline, she decided to stay in the Kingdom of Lombard for a while.
The purpose of doing this is to enhance feelings, just like traveling.
Eloline also agreed with her idea.
But she remembered that she had promised the big-tailed wolf Lolita in the Edfallon Forest that she would go back to play with her after visiting Licaro.
But it doesn’t matter, being ten or half a month late is nothing.
Now that Licaro still has a wanted warrant on her, Eloline thinks it would be better to find a way to remove it.
But even if Licaro didn't need to wear a robe to conceal her identity, Eloline still couldn't take off her cloak.
Her dragon horns, wings, tail, and scales on her body...
Almost all of them cannot be exposed to humans.
It would be nice if humans could see that dragons could maintain a normal mentality.
Suddenly, Eloline had a bold idea. She asked Likalo, "Does the Kingdom of Lombard really allow any race to exist?"
"Of course, there are all kinds of strange races here. We have seen many of them before."
"Ah."
When she participated in the competition before, Eloline had indeed seen many non-human races. Some of them, such as the elves and beastmen, were easy to identify, but there were also dozens of them that she could not recognize at all.
There are hundreds of races in this alien world. Now that she can transform into a human form, it seems like it’s time to buy a book of racial atlases.
"The King of Lombard was a very enlightened man. He enacted laws to protect any race that came to this country, and there was no discrimination policy."
After hearing what Licaro said, Eloline felt that there seemed to be no need for her to pretend anymore.
Those who are weaker in strength don't dare to mess with her, but those who are stronger than her can be identified even if she is wearing a cloak.
Licaro thought that Eloline's idea was a little inappropriate. After all, her identity as a dragon would cause a great response.
So far, very few dragons have appeared openly in human cities, and Eloline herself is aware of this.
If she could release a perfect transformation, there wouldn't be so much trouble. Unfortunately, the magic power in Eloline's body is not enough to support the perfect transformation magic.
The magic power in the staff cannot be used for transformation. The transformation magic changes the form of Eloline herself, so she must use her own magic power.
Perhaps as she fully reaches adulthood, the magic power in her body will be enough...
Of course, there are more convenient and faster ways to obtain huge amounts of magic power right now.
This requires the help of Licaro who possesses the "Fountain of Magic".
However, it was Vitien who said that the method of replenishing magic power was through intercourse, and now Eloline no longer completely believed her.
What's more, she and Likalo have only confirmed their relationship as lovers, and she is still shy even to kiss each other.
The relationship has definitely not developed to that point!
If only she could meet Vitien now, Eloline would seriously confirm with her whether having intercourse with Licaro would increase her magic power.
For now, let’s not think about a complete transformation.
Being a dragon is really troublesome. If it were another race, there wouldn’t be so many problems.
Over the years, when Eloline traveled around the world looking for her parents, she once visited the elves' residence. At that time, she directly used her original body to communicate with the elves, but the elves did not respond much.
If it were a human, it would probably cause a lot of trouble.
This is not to say that Eloline discriminates against the human race, but the reality is that due to their short lifespan, most humans are unable to accumulate enough knowledge.
In simple terms, many people even stay in their own villages or towns for their entire lives and have never seen the world.
Even if the immortal race does not go out, the amount of knowledge they acquire over time and with the teachings of their elders is much greater than that of humans.
The Kingdom of Lombard is an open country, so Eloline had the idea of removing her disguise.
But after some analysis, in order to avoid a lot of trouble, she decided to continue pretending.
However, she didn't want Licaro to always be labeled a wanted criminal. The wanted order is still valid, and there are only two ways to cancel it.
Either kill the wanted criminal or get rid of the person who issued the wanted warrant.
Eloline would naturally choose the latter.
"Who issued the wanted warrant?"
"It seems to be the bearded lord."
"This……"
Now that the bearded lord is dead, does that mean the wanted order is invalid?
"No, the wanted order must be canceled proactively. If the lord dies and his son inherits, then his son will have to cancel it."
In fact, Licaro was not wanted [for killing the lord]. Although there is a wanted warrant for the murderer, there is no detailed information at all.
The real wanted order was actually for the leader of the Crescent Knights. After Licaro's Knights were destroyed, they were slandered by the enemy. As the only surviving leader, many charges were imposed on her.
The name on the wanted poster is Likalo's pseudonym, but the description of her figure and appearance is true.
If you want to cancel the wanted order, the lord's son must do it in person.
Or if the wanted criminal is not found within 12 months, the warrant will be automatically cancelled.
You should know that the wanted poster for Licaro offers a reward of 500 gold coins, which will attract many bounty hunters from the Kingdom of Lombard to look for her.
"Why don't we just go back to the Empire? Instead of going back to Edfallon, we can go play in other areas of the Empire."
Eloline thought that instead of going through so much trouble, it would be better to just go back.
Anyway, when it comes to traveling, the vast empire is much more fun than Lombard, and it is in Licaro's own country, so there is no need to worry about being wanted.
"That makes sense..."
For Licaro, it would be good to leave this sad country.
But she wanted to return to the empire in a special way.
A childhood dream was recalled to her.
"Lin, I have something to tell you."
"what?"
"My previous horse has been with me for a long time, and I like it very much."
"Uh……"
Eloline understood that Licaro was talking about the horse she had stolen from the castle before.
But the horse had been shot dead by the soldiers.
"I don't have a mount now, what should I do?"
"Later, I bought another one. It's still in the city. Let's go there when we find a chance..."
"That horse is no longer wanted."
"Eh?"
"I want to ride you." Licaro did not hide her true thoughts at all.
Lika Luo remembered that Ai Luolin had said that dragons would only willingly be ridden by the person they loved. Now that she and Ai Luolin loved each other, didn't that mean...
Doesn't that mean I can just ride her whenever I want?
PS: The bounty is over, and the extra chapters are also over. Now I am back to the minimum of 2 chapters per day. Including this chapter, I still owe 17 chapters. Starting from tomorrow, there may be 4 to 5 chapters per day.
Chapter 2 - Disaster 035 Don't drink alcohol
Eloline hadn't expected that Licaro would have such an intention.
She did tell Likalo at the beginning that dragons do not resist being ridden by the person they like, but she didn't expect that this would be a foreshadowing.
Now that Licaro wanted to fly on her back like she did when she was a child, what else could she do?
Although they have established a relationship of mutual affection and confessed their love in a special way, it does not mean that Eloline's feelings for Licaro are really good now.
In fact, when it comes to being ridden, Eloline still feels a little resistant.
"Is it impossible?" Likalo was a little disappointed.
"It's not impossible... just this once."
"Great!"
Licaro happily hugged Eloline and kissed her on the face.
Eloline was a little dazed. It was hard for her to connect the blonde girl in front of her with the previous Licaro. It was as if the optimistic and lively little girl from her childhood had returned again.
This made her feel extremely relieved. This was how Licaro should be. She was only seventeen years old and it was really not appropriate for her to have too many things weighing on her mind.
"I'm a little hungry, let's find a place to eat first."
Even if Eloline flew back to the empire, it would take some time, but there was no rush now, because after Licaro completed her revenge, they would have nothing to do for the time being.
"Then let's find a restaurant and get a private room."
"Ah."
In a separate room, Eloline and Likalo could take off their disguises and not look so restrained.
And their conversation will not be interrupted.
In order to celebrate Licaro's successful revenge and the successful establishment of their love relationship, Eloline decided to have a good meal today.
She ordered all the food no matter how expensive it was. There was no need to feel bad about spending money on such things.
"Has Lin ever drunk alcohol?" Likalo asked curiously.
“I’ve never drunk this.”
Even in her previous life, due to her physical condition, Eloline tried to avoid alcohol.
In this world, she had only been in human form for a few days, and had indeed not come into contact with alcohol during this period.
Now Eloline is very curious about the taste of the wine. After all, just smelling it gives her a sense of novelty.
