It had been many years since Merlinsera last experienced such a fluctuation in her emotions.
At that time, the Shadow Dragons were surrounded and annihilated by other Dragons. The sight of her siblings and even her parents dying almost caused her to have a mental breakdown. The loss and pain of losing everyone she could rely on caused irreparable damage to her.
The ensuing escape and pursuit made Merlinsera mature rapidly, but at the same time, her mentality gradually deformed. After a few years, the once lively and cheerful girl of the Dragons had now become suspicious and vigilant of everything. Her heart was as cold as a block of arctic ice.
However, looking at the figure lying in the ice, she could no longer maintain her indifference.
As Merlinsera approached the broken seal, her mind was filled with an indescribable panic. This was the second time Rody had saved her life. She could choose to respond in the same way as before — agree to a simple request from him, return the favor, and then walk away.
This was what the Dragons had always done.
But Merlinsera didn't think about this at all. She gritted her teeth and pushed away the corpse of the Snow Monster in front of her. She used her bare hands to dig away the ice covering Roddy. Seeing that Roddy still didn't respond, she quickly slapped his face hard.
"Wake up! Hey! "
Merlinsera was filled with regret. If she was stronger, perhaps he wouldn't have been so badly injured …
But there weren't that many ifs in the world. Due to the consecutive heavy blows, Roddy was now "on the verge of death". His spine was broken and his entire body was paralyzed. Although there weren't any open wounds on his body, his internal organs were severely injured. If he didn't receive treatment, his organs would fail and he would die sooner or later.
Merlinsera didn't have any magic power after losing her Dragon Crystal. She couldn't even release the lowest level "Shadow Flame", let alone save him. So, she could only watch as Roddy's breathing became weaker and weaker …
To be honest, she hadn't trusted anyone in all these years of escaping. But just a few minutes ago, she completely trusted her back to Roddy —
Trust …
This feeling, which she hadn't experienced for a long time, made Merlinsera's heart feel unusually warm. But this warmth was fleeting. She couldn't stop Roddy from walking into the abyss of death.
"Wake up, hurry up …"
She had never interacted with humans before, and she couldn't control the strength of her slaps due to the urgency in her heart. After slapping his face a few times, Roddy's tightly shut eyes twitched slightly, and he was woken up by the pain.
But this kind of awakening was almost like the final radiance of the setting sun. The 4% value on the Health Points also proved this point. When Roddy opened his eyes, he was still a little dazed. His vision was filled with all kinds of colors. So, he did not realize that there was someone in front of him.
When Roddy recalled his situation, he immediately squinted his eyes, trying to focus his gaze straight ahead. At the same time, his lips trembled as he opened the Character Status Bar and Combat Info.
After his spine was broken, he couldn't even move his lips when he spoke.
Merlinsera thought that Roddy wanted to say his last words, so she immediately held her breath and put a hand behind his neck. She moved her face close to his and said, "Hang in there … Don't move, I —"
Halfway through her words, she realized that she couldn't save Roddy. After a slight sigh, she finally said, "What other wishes do you have? I swear in the name of the Dragon God … I will fulfill them for you!"
Although she didn't know what the future held, this was all she could do for now.
A promise made by the Dragon God had to be fulfilled. Even among the Dragons, very few would make such a solemn vow. However, Merlinsera didn't know that Roddy had temporarily lost his hearing due to the concussion and the continuous energy blasts.
So, he couldn't hear anything at all!
Not only his hearing, but the world in Roddy's eyes was no different from a mosaic. Even the interface in front of him could only be determined by memory …
A large number of words appeared in the "Combat Log". Based on the style, Roddy thought that this was the experience points that the snow monsters gave him after they died. After confirming this, he turned to look at the "Experience Points" above the "Basic Level". The long string of blurry numbers and the "Level Up" button made him heave a sigh of relief.
His life was saved!
Roddy was really scared. If it wasn't for the experience points that were enough for him to level up once, he would have really died here.
It was normal for people to have messy thoughts when they were reborn. It was only at this moment that Roddy realized what was most important in his heart. The female Duke Sally's pleasant face, the little priest Akasha's gentle and submissive demeanor … It was rare for him to look straight into his heart. Now that he thought about it, he realized that he had only been focusing on moving forward for the past year, and had inadvertently neglected many more important things.
Thinking about how he had always been constrained in his feelings, Roddy sighed. He then remembered the nagging words of his parents: "You should find a partner", "When can I arrange a blind date for you", "Your classmates' children are all good at playing around" and so on. He used to scoff at such nagging words, but now that he thought about it, his parents' urging was another form of concern for him. It was also the traditional Chinese belief that "carrying on the family line is the most important".
The dizziness after the concussion made Roddy a little dazed. He closed his eyes and mumbled unconsciously, "Is it time to have a child …"
This was something he had never considered before, because neither he nor Sally and Akasha had reached the step of "being honest with each other". Perhaps it was the nagging of his parents in his distant memory, or the fear of death in his heart, but Roddy couldn't help but have similar thoughts.
It was an unintentional remark, and Roddy even quickly categorized it as a "random thought" in his mind, but Merinsera, who had leaned closer to listen to his "last words", took it seriously.
"Want — want a child?!"
The Shadow Dragon's expression instantly distorted and she almost strangled Rody on the spot. Her originally pale face immediately turned red. Perhaps it was because of her sullen anger, but most of it was because of the oath she had just made. The Dragon God's oath was never a joke.
Merinsera clenched her teeth, and a troubled expression appeared on her face. What … what should I do?
Roddy still didn't realize that there was someone beside him. His spine was broken, and he couldn't feel his entire body, so he quickly chose to "level up" before his HP completely disappeared.
A familiar light flashed, and his body began to repair itself. His senses gradually recovered, and the cold temperature made Roddy shiver. The scenery in front of him gradually became clear, and the sharp pain disappeared. His dislocated limbs made a cracking sound as they returned to their original state.
Then, Roddy saw Merinsera in his field of vision, who had her back to him.
"Phew …"
Roddy, who didn't know what had just happened, was "full of HP", and the ice shards that covered his body when he got up fell to the ground. He wiped the blood off his face as if nothing had happened, and looked around at the bodies of the snow monsters. When he saw Merinsera beside him, he said, "It seems that I was right. Solomon had a backup plan. If it weren't for this spell formation, we would have been in deep trouble today. You —"
When he turned around, Roddy realized that the atmosphere wasn't right, because Merinsera was looking at him with a strange expression.
He knew that it was hard to explain something like "full of HP", but he had no other choice. He could only find an excuse. But before he could say anything, he realized that things weren't that simple.
Because Merinsera had come directly to him.
Then, she raised her fist and punched him in the chest!
"You … asshole!"
Roddy was completely frightened, but then he realized that Merinsera didn't intend to kill him. The punch wasn't heavy, but it wasn't light either. After all, Merinsera was a little angry out of humiliation. She immediately made Roddy sit on the ground, grimacing in pain.
Thinking of the "solution" that he had thought of, this arrogant Shadow Dragons had never thought that he would be … teased like this!
"Is there some misunderstanding between us? Don't, don't, don't hit me … Lady Merinsera … I don't think we have a deep grudge against each other, right? "
Knowing that Merinsera was a Dragons, Roddy didn't dare to hit back. He only felt that it was more like an annoyed commissary in charge of studies who was teaching a bad student a lesson. It seemed more like he was "venting his anger".
Fortunately, Merinsera quickly regained her composure. She took a deep breath and asked, "Did … did you hear what I said before you recovered?"
After such a battle, the distance between them had disappeared. Even Merinsera didn't notice the change in her tone.
Rody shook his head and replied, "You also saw it. Just now, my spine was broken and I could not hear anything. I could not see anything in front of me. Before I used my skill, I did not know you were here. What did you say just now?"
"Hmph, you're lucky."
Women didn't need a reason to change the topic. Merinsera's casual words ended Roddy's doubts. She then leaned against the seal and didn't say another word.
Although she was angry, she didn't feel much anger after understanding what had happened. Instead, the fact that Roddy was still alive made Merinsera feel happy for no reason. Her heart also seemed to be rejuvenated. Her gloomy life seemed to suddenly have a hint of light. Unknowingly, the corners of her mouth that were always tense had begun to curve upwards.
"Hiss …"
Roddy rubbed his chest and stood up again. "Lady Merinsera …"
"Call me Merinsera."
"Erm … Merinsera, I think the Dragons don't lack treasures, right? Why did you take such a big risk to come here? "
Roddy was actually quite emotional. When he first met her in the Silent Forest, he could only lower his head and ask for her help. But now, he could actually call her by her name …
