It was similar to Baiyi's reaction when he first heard the theory. Most people would think that it was an alarmist theory. 'Huh? What's going on? The world is going to end? Why don't I feel anything? ' However, after Baiyi explained the strange reactions of the wild animals, especially the wild dragons, the dragon knights could not help but admit that there was a possibility that the situation would turn out the way Baiyi had described.
"To be honest, I still find it hard to accept this theory," Aya said apologetically. Aya gave Baiyi an apologetic look. "If the dragons could sense it, why didn't I sense it at all? Even if I'm stupid, shouldn't the other dragons be able to sense it? "
"Because you guys are in the so-called safe zone …" Baiyi shrugged helplessly and continued, "I think the enchantment that surrounds this airspace is the safe zone in the eyes of the beasts. The enchantment here is able to shield them from the thing that terrifies them."
"But … we've only set up a wind-proof barrier and a temperature-control barrier. Aside from the fact that it covers a large area, such barriers can be found everywhere in Gouve. Are you saying that the reason why the beasts barged into the no-fly zone was to enter the barrier?" Yosef asked. "More or less.
"More or less. You guys made the right choice by intercepting them. Most of the areas with this kind of barrier are populated areas. If you let these dangerous beasts invade, it would be very troublesome …" Baiyi said, "In my opinion, this anomaly might have something to do with the temperature and the storm. The people living in the barrier could not sense these subtle changes, so they did not notice it at all."
"You have a point …" Yosef nodded. "Although we've investigated the area outside the no-fly zone, it was not thorough and detailed enough. No one would have noticed the change in temperature. So, I'll go out myself tomorrow."
"Father, you have been very tired during this period of time. Let me do this kind of thing!" Aya looked at her elderly father and volunteered. Then, she turned to Baiyi and asked, "Master Hope, would you like to come with me?"
'Eh? Are you asking me to ride you? ' 'What an unreserved little female dragon … Even though it's just a literal ride, is it really okay to invite a stranger to ride you?'
Although Baiyi did not say it out loud, Aya seemed to realize that her words could easily cause misunderstandings. Her pretty face blushed again as she waved her hand nervously and said, "That … That … It's just a normal investigation. Please don't misunderstand …"
Erm... Actually, I'm not thinking too much about it. On the contrary, it's your attitude that makes me think the wrong way, Baiyi thought to himself. But objectively speaking, it's not a bad thing to be the Fifth Walker's mount, is it? Even your so-called Lord Divine Dragon doesn't mind. Shouldn't a little female dragon like you feel honored? And wasn't I the one who represented its will to give you the blessing that shocked you before?
No matter how ambiguous Aya's attitude was, the matter was settled. Old Dragon Yosef was a busy man. He had to choose a companion to travel with. It would be better for him to go with the cute and pretty Aya. Old Dragon Yosef decided to let him have a good rest.
When night fell, the Dragon Knights began to return one after another. After a day of hard work, they were completely exhausted. The entire military camp didn't have the joy of welcoming the return of the soldiers. Everyone quietly washed up and went to sleep.
However, a report was still handed to Kandor.
"What? Someone's hurt? " Aya hugged Mordred. The little girl had played like a madman for the whole day, so she was very sleepy. Her head was buried in Aya's chest, and her eyes were closed. She looked like she would fall asleep at any moment. However, when she heard that someone was hurt, she forced herself to stay awake and looked at Kandor with concern in her mother's eyes.
"It's a wild dragon. It went berserk when it was intercepted. But fortunately, both the dragon and human suffered only minor injuries," Kandor said. "Don't worry."
"They're … getting berserk? Is it really like what Master Hope said? The fear of death is driving them crazy … "Aya said worriedly, stroking Mordred's head.
"I hope he's wrong …" Kandor sighed softly.
The next day, at dawn, Aya knocked on Baiyi's door. When she got his permission, she pushed the door open and saw Baiyi tending to a few new pots of flowers. There was no one at home, so he had no choice but to bring them along with him. Baiyi did not know what these new plants were, so he had been looking forward to seeing them. He had been especially attentive to them, and a few of them had already sprouted.
He placed the animal coin pots neatly on the windowsill, then turned to Aya. "I didn't expect you to be up so early."
"It's all because of Mordred. She wakes up early every day," Aya said gently.
"Alright, let's go," Baiyi said.
"Eh? Don't we need to bring Miss Mia along? " Aya asked curiously. From their conversation the day before, she already knew that Mia was his Soul Armature Practitioner. Logically speaking, the distance between him and Mia should not be too far, especially for a powerful Soul Armature like him. The distance between him and Mia should not be too far away, especially for a powerful Soul Armature like him.
"Here!" Baiyi took out a Soul Calming Stone and waved it in front of Aya.
"It's a Soul Calming Stone! This is the first time I've seen something like this with my own eyes … "
The Soul Calming Stone was a gift from the Duke's daughter, Vidomina. It was a good item, but Baiyi knew that using it on himself would only serve as a cover. After his battle with Thaas, he knew that his connection with Mia was not limited by distance. Even if they were to cross realms, he would still be able to move more freely than most Soul Armatures.
The two walked from the command center to the barracks. Baiyi was looking forward to Aya transforming back into her dragon form. He wanted to see how cute she looked in her original form, but she had no intention of transforming. Instead, she whistled loudly, summoning a strong white dragon from afar.
'Hmm, a male …'
"This is Lancelot, the strongest warrior of our clan," Aya said as she caressed the dragon's scales.
'How do you people name yourselves? How about another Gawain and another Drizzt? That way, they would be able to put on a British legend!
The dragon, on the other hand, glanced at Baiyi with disdain and muttered something in the draconic language.
"Er …" Aya, who was supposed to translate for Baiyi, looked embarrassed. "He said … he's very pleased to meet you."
"He clearly said where did this little worm come from," Baiyi replied snappily. "I know the Draconic language."
Aya's embarrassment deepened, and the dragon raised its head even higher with an expression that said, 'So what if you know?'
'Tsk, if I don't teach you a lesson, do you really think you're the Knight of the Yangtze River?' Baiyi thought with a smirk. He retracted a part of his aura and threw it at the dragon.
A few moments later, the entire barracks was bustling with activity.
"What's going on? Who's screaming? "
"Does it sound like Lancelot?"
"How is that possible? Lancelot is the strongest dragon we have. He's so arrogant that no one has ever been worthy of his attention. How could he be screaming like a defeated dog? "
"Anyway … Let's go check it out, shall we?"
Even Little Mia was woken up by the scream. She crawled out of bed in a daze, hugged her hammerhead shark plushie, and walked to the window. She peered out curiously.
When the soldiers arrived at the scene, they realized that it really was the arrogant Lancelot. However, there was no trace of his usual arrogance. Instead, he was curled up into a ball like an aggrieved puppy. His head, which had been held high, was pressed to the ground, and his throat let out a series of pleading whimpers.
Aya, who was beside him, was sweating profusely as she tried to calm him down.
"Looks like he's not feeling too well today," Baiyi said with a smirk. Baiyi smirked as he retracted his aura. Lancelot instantly felt the pressure on his body disappear, and he raised his head to look at Baiyi with fear in his eyes. Then, he flapped his wings and fled without looking back.
"Ugh!" Aya stomped her feet anxiously. She was about to give chase, but Baiyi held her back.
"Alright, Miss Aya, shall we go?" Baiyi asked.
"But … Mounts …" Aya's face darkened. It had not been easy for her to be so thick-skinned as to share a mount with Baiyi, who she had never met before. What was she supposed to do now? Should I let him ride me?
"Ah, it's okay. I can fly by myself." Baiyi said as he cast a levitation spell on Aya. Then, he used his mana to wrap around her slender waist.
"Let's go!" Baiyi waved at Mia, who was waving at him from the window. Then, he unleashed his Levitation Spell at full force, and his whole body turned into a sharp arrow as he sped away into the distance.
"Ahhhhh!!!" Aya's scream came back after a while.
"Although I don't know what happened, it seems like the young miss has been kidnapped?"
"How is this abduction? But Miss didn't resist at all. She looked like she was willing. Isn't it more like they eloped? "
"That guy in gray, I heard that he's the Guild Leader's guest? Are you really here for Miss? "
The Dragon Knights, who usually looked stern and majestic, could not help but start gossiping. It was only when their leader, Kandor, came out and explained Baiyi's identity and what they were supposed to do that the Dragon Knights returned to their own business.
