Merlinsera's heart was filled with anger. Being "drugged" was definitely a disgrace to the Dragons. The thought of Roddy pinching her face and forcing an unknown liquid down her throat made her feel indescribably disgusted …
Stories between dragons and humans were often related to the word "dragon slaying", so Merlinsera immediately thought that Roddy wanted to kill her. Even though she did not have much of a negative impression of Roddy, the wariness in her heart and the prejudice she had against other races forced her to make such a judgment.
She raised her fingertips, and Shadow Elements instantly gathered. At such a distance, Roddy had no space to dodge. It was only when Merlinsera saw Roddy spread out his hands and took a step back that she realized something was wrong with her body …
Even Dragons could not recover to this extent in an instant when they were on the verge of death. Merlinsera looked down and found that the wounds on her body had disappeared without her knowing.
She could not help but touch her neck. The marks that Vesam had torn open had already healed. Her fingertips could only feel smooth and delicate skin.
Merlinsera raised her eyes. Her surroundings were clear, and her consciousness was no longer in a trance. When she refocused her gaze on the "Dragon Slayer Mark" on Roddy's left eye, she realized an unbelievable fact.
"You killed Vesam?"
She suddenly got up and immediately saw Vesam's hill-like corpse. Her mind went blank for a moment, and then she quickly asked, "Why did you save me?"
This question was asked in perfect Bulingan.
"Because … you saved me."
Roddy's tense muscles relaxed slightly, and he tried to answer in a natural tone.
His expression was calm, but he could not help but feel nervous. Because the woman in front of him with an almost perfect face and body was a real Dragons!
Even if he was once at level 59, he would not be able to calm down.
"I saved you?"
Only then did Merinthra remember that when she was dealing with Lucius, she did not treat Roddy as an enemy. After all, it was because Roddy had taken care of her 'illusion' back then.
Although he was angry that his arm had been pulled so far away, he still had a kind heart and didn't have any evil intentions.
"Perhaps …"
She slowly lowered her arm and stood up. She asked, "Did you give me a potion?"
"It's the blood of the Terror Turtle."
Roddy nodded.
She knew what grade the potion was, and she finally confirmed one fact: Not only did he kill Vaissam, but he also saved her life.
Although the Dragons found it ridiculous, she still took a deep breath and said in a solemn tone, "Merinthra, thank you, human."
Saying her name meant that the Dragons recognized her. Roddy looked at her expression and knew that he had made the right bet. Everything was as described in "A Conversation with a Dragon" — Dragons were indeed superior, but because of this, they were one of the races that treated everything "fairly."
"My name is Roddy."
Roddy cleared his throat and carefully chose his words. "It's an honor to meet you, Lady Merinthra …"
But just as he finished speaking, the shouts of soldiers came from afar, and then an Arcane Missile flew past him. Roddy took a closer look and found that there were more than twenty Arcanists from the Holy Assembly trying to attack the fortress!
Obviously, they did not know what would happen to Lucius after he escaped through teleportation. Because they had also obtained the Dragon Slayer's Mark, these members of the Holy Assembly were certain that the dragon would be killed by Elder Lucius. At this moment, they were all very excited. Although they did not have much magic power, they still started to attack with Arcane Missiles.
"Eternal Arcane Spell!"
Hearing the shouts from afar, Roddy frowned and wanted to pick up his bow to fight. But before he could speak, Merinthra, who was beside him, chanted a spell in a low voice and made a simple "raising" motion with her palm. The next moment, screams rang out in the distance!
The Arcanists who were casting spells were instantly pierced by countless shadow arrows that appeared above their heads, and they all died.
"Annoying flies."
Merinthra was filled with disgust toward these Arcanists and did not show them any mercy. When she turned to look at Roddy, her eyes regained their previous calmness, and she said, "You saved me and killed Vaissam. In return … I can grant you one wish."
The Dragons' style of doing things was so "simple and crude." Even when it came to "repaying a debt of gratitude," they were so direct.
Roddy looked at the automatically generated "Death of the Shadow Dragon" mission in the [Mission Bar] and felt inexplicably nervous.
"You have saved the Shadow Dragon, Merinthra. You can make a wish."
Grant a wish …
There were no restrictions or conditions. Countless tempting suggestions popped up in Roddy's mind almost immediately — if there was one thing that came first, it would definitely be to make her his third "Magic Pet"!
At this stage of the mission, Roddy could already see the "Level 67" displayed above Merinthra's head. In terms of strength, she could definitely do whatever she wanted in the Kingdom of Karen. If he had her as his Magic Pet, not only would his skill bar be filled to the brim, but enemies like Orcs and Undead would also have to stand aside …
But Roddy immediately rejected this unreliable idea — if he was a Giant Dragon and Merinthra was a human, what would they think when they heard such a "wish"?
A mighty Level 67 Shadow Dragon becoming a human's follower? Flying around on his back? Being a bodyguard?
Wake up, stop dreaming.
Roddy understood that Merinthra didn't mean to deliberately make things difficult for him, because in the eyes of the absolutely rational Dragons, a "life-saving grace" must be repaid. But in order not to affect his life and plans, this kind of "repayment" must be carried out as soon as possible. After all, Dragons and humans had nothing to do with each other, and forcing them to stay together was not a comfortable thing for either side.
Sign a contract? Not to mention … tie a Giant and an ant together, is that even possible?
Even though he had imagined countless scenarios in his mind, but when he considered everything in "reality", not many of them were feasible. Moreover … he didn't come here specifically to slay a Dragon.
Merinthra looked at Vaissam's corpse again, and at the same time, her heart was filled with confusion about the future. There were too many Giant Dragons chasing after her, where should she go next?
More than ten seconds passed, and the two of them were silent as they pondered over their own problems. Soon, Roddy gave his answer.
"Lady Merinthra, if possible, I would like to have two hundred and twenty-seven" Charging Crystals "."
Roddy stated his wish, which was also the mission goal of this trip.
Merinthra had thought that Roddy might make an extremely demanding request, but she didn't expect his wish to be so simple … This was too different from what she had imagined. He didn't ask her to help him kill people, search for treasures, or do things that she didn't have any objections to, but only a few "Charging Crystals" …
In the face of the Dragon Clan's wealth, this kind of thing was not even a drop in the bucket.
She didn't have much interest in humans, but at this moment, she was a little curious. She asked, "Why two hundred and twenty-seven?"
"To save my friend's life, I can't go any lower."
Roddy didn't explain further, but this sentence was enough to prove that his wish was not a joke.
Merinthra looked at him seriously, raised her palm, and condensed a dark purple crystal in her hand with pure Shadow Energy. Then, she gently handed it to Roddy. "Walk 300 meters west, and all the crystals in the cave are yours."
"Thank you, Lady Merinthra."
Roddy didn't ask if the crystals were enough, because he knew … he didn't have the right to say anything at the moment.
"I've fulfilled your wish, so … goodbye."
His interest in humans stopped here. The mundane affairs of the mortal world and the pursuit he had to face were two completely different worlds. Merinthra took a step back and said to Roddy calmly.
"If you have time, you can visit Elson."
As soon as Roddy finished speaking, Merinthra disappeared in the rising purple smoke. As for whether she heard him, Roddy didn't know.
He heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at the messy battlefield in front of him, but he didn't regret his decision just now. He opened his palm and looked down at the energy crystal in his hand.
