rose nursery rhyme

Lilith asked Long: "When can you leave here?"

Seraphim shook his head: "When? If you hadn't stopped me, I would have..."

"You've been smashed to death by the magic circle." Lilith broke through it ruthlessly, "Don't think I can't see it——when will you leave?"

The energy of the magic circle began to weaken in the past two days, and the operation of the runes was as orderly as ever. The problem was the spars on the runes that provided energy.

Once a crack appears on the crystal cluster, the power inside will be lost quickly, and the fragile crystal cannot bear too much energy flow, and the crack will only become bigger and bigger until the crystal is completely shattered.

But it has not yet reached that stage, even if the other party to the contract died long ago, the contract magic has not disappeared, and the magic circle still firmly controls the Seraphim, preventing him from leaving the cave.

At most, it only expanded the scope of activities from the treasure pile to the entire mountain.

If he continued to hit him with the posture he had in the morning, he might have broken his own neck before the magic circle broke—this was why Lilith had been blocking him just now.

Seraphim is stupid enough now, there is no need to break his own brain.

The contract directly acts on the soul, what Lilith knows, the Seraphim certainly knows better.

But he really has been holding back for too long, a dragon, trapped in such a ghostly place for hundreds of years, who can bear it?

Even if Long didn't like to go out in the first place, there is still a big difference between taking the initiative and being forced.

Therefore, as soon as he felt that the contract was loose, he couldn't care about anything, and he only wanted to break through this bastard magic circle as soon as possible.

It's a pity that even the mountain has collapsed, and the magic circle is still not loose.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Lilith asked, "How long is it?"

The Seraph snorted, a little reluctantly: "...about five days."

With no one touching those runes, it would take at least five days before the magic circle was weak enough for him to leave.

Lilith: "...much faster than I thought."

No matter how unbreakable something is, once a crack appears, the destruction will not stop.

It's just the difference of time.

Lilith was much calmer than Seraphim, and advised him: "I know you are anxious, but there is no use in being anxious, bear with it."

... It's a pity that this girl has never done persuasion, her words and sentences are quite blunt, and she doesn't even have any persuasive force.

How can you bear this?

The seraphim have waited too long for this day of freedom.

He couldn't wait for a moment now, he just wanted to break that annoying magic circle immediately, leave this ghost place, and see the blue sky that he hadn't seen for hundreds of years.

But Lilith didn't let him be impulsive, and he didn't want to really do anything to Lilith, so he sulked angrily with himself, buried his head in his wings, and refused to look at her.

Lilith also knew that he was unhappy, and had no better way to do it for a while, so she could only silently stroke his back again, pick up the tip of the silver dragon's tail from the ground, hold it in her arms and stroke it silently.

The Seraphim moved his body uncomfortably, and took out his head again. His sharp claws scratched a few shallow marks on the stone floor, and he felt that even the tip of his tail was trembling unconsciously.

Lilith had often touched him like this before, but it seemed that only this time was different.

Every place Lilith touched seemed to be a little itchy, even if her movements were actually very light, it was impossible for him to notice through the thick dragon scales.

What's more, his tail has long since turned into an unconscious white bone.

——The Seraphim couldn't figure out the reason for a while, but instinctively began to rejoice that his whole body was covered with scales, otherwise he would definitely blush unseemly.

Lilith: "Are you angry?"

Seraphim ignored the discomfort in his heart, cleared his throat, and said courageously: "You haven't answered my question yet."

Lilith hasn't said whether she would like to leave with him.

Lilith withdrew her hand and put his tail back on the ground.

The puppet's body doesn't seem to be able to make too complicated expressions, so she just smiled slightly and said softly: "Actually, I just wanted your blood and scales at first."

"I'm sorry for saying that..." she said, "but that's what I was made for."

No matter how innocuous in appearance, no matter how calm and peaceful personality, puppets are weapons in the final analysis.When there is a master, the puppet obeys the master's instructions. Now that there is no master, she will look for things that can improve her combat power day after day.

Both dragon blood and dragon scales are precious alchemy materials, rare in the market, and the price is quite high.

There is no second person in this world who can guard a dragon for 200 years like Lilith.

It's a pity that Miss Puppet's alchemy level is worrying. Until now, it seems that she hasn't produced any concrete results.

It may also be due to the fact that she gave up on the practice halfway.

Lilith: "I want to apologize to you."

After all, she came here with the mentality of taking advantage. At that time, Lilith was just a half-finished puppet and had no feelings for the Seraphs. Of course, everything was her own goal.At the beginning, he treated Seraphim with the mentality of an equal exchange—and took the opportunity to collect a lot of things from Yinlong's wounds.

Although the reasons for needing her to do so have long since disappeared.

She was reluctant to agree to the Seraphim because of this - does this dragon really understand what it is doing?Does he know what it means to take her away?Did he have such an idea because he had only seen her once in the past 200 years, so he had some kind of illusion?

Regarding this matter, Miss Puppet herself also half understands, so it is rare to hesitate.

"...I wasn't doing it for you." She thought for a long time, and finally she could only say, "I just did what I should do."

Seraphim: "I know."

He knew this from the beginning. When the two of them met for the first time, Lilith made the deal very clear. She healed his wounds, and he would occasionally provide the other party with some research materials, that's all. .

But so what?

The seraphim moved, and circled the witch a little further with its wings: "I'm here for you now."

Lilith didn't speak, as if she was thinking.

It's so boring for the two of them to chat here, and Xi Di didn't want to read it for a long time. Now she is squatting in the ruins of the bookshelf next to her, and occasionally finds one or two interesting pieces. She lifts them up to have a look, and then throws them aside. go.

The Witch has a lot of collections, but Xidi basically doesn't know her. The kid just read something new and had a good time playing with herself.

Bryce politely waited for the two to finish their emotions before interjecting, "Do you want to go out now?"

This is nonsense, and the Seraphim glanced at him in his busy schedule: "Yes, it's a pity we have to wait."

Which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted, he is worrying about it.

It would be great if we could break those crystal clusters ahead of time. The Seraphim hit the mountain before with this idea. Unfortunately, the results were not good, and it didn't work out in the end.

Brace: "What if I say... I can help you leave early?"

Seraphim didn't even think about it: "That's impossible."

It was a fairly solid formation. If neither the dragon nor the dwarf's puppets could destroy it, then no one in this world could do so. They could only wait for it to be crushed from the inside by their own power.

Lilith was not in a hurry to express her opinion. After all, she is a puppet sensitive to power. She pressed her hand on the Seraphim and signaled him to wait: "... What conditions do you have?"

Brice was still very elegant, and nodded to Yinlong, "I want a little of your blood."

Seraphim: "Mine?"

Brace: "Well. Not much... just a little."

This is not a big deal for Seraphim, he has nothing else on him except a lot of blood, it is fate that they met here, and Seraphim is in a good mood today, even if Bryce doesn't help, it's okay to give him a little blood .

Besides, these two people also drank Lilith's health tea. Seraphim admired such a person with strong mind and body.

Instead, he began to worry about Brice: "I can give it to you, look at you, are you a magician?"

Brice had already started to take blood, and he really only held a thin bottle with the length of a finger in his hand: "Yeah."

Seraphim: "Don't force it - that thing is quite strong, beware of backlash."

For outsiders who attack maliciously, the magic circle certainly has its own defense mechanism. If you attack rashly, you may be injured.

Silver Dragon already regards Bryce as a magician who is desperate for some materials.

Although Brice was very polite to outsiders, he rarely said unnecessary words: "It's okay, thank you for your concern."

The seraphim wentssip again: "What do you want this blood for, alchemy?"

Bryce glanced at Sidi without a trace.

The child didn't know what he touched, and was wiping his hands on his clothes in disgust. His hair was fluffy, and he seemed to feel good.

"A little...for personal use." He smiled vaguely, seeing that he had already got what he wanted, he turned and left the cave without further words.

The huge magic circle was above the heads of several people, and Bryce still had to go outside first to get in touch with the core crystal clusters.

The seraphim had no hope for this, and it was boring to wait, so he put his head on Lilith's shoulder, and the boss was a dragon, sighing and acting like a baby.

Lilith rubbed his head expressionlessly.

Xidi didn't seem to care where Bryce went at all. She held up a small transparent hard sheet and asked Lilith, "What is this?"

Lilith took a look: "Dragon scale."

Sidi: "Shouldn't it be silver?"

Seraphim is a silver dragon.

Lilith: "After falling, it will gradually become transparent—if you like it, I can give it to you."

That scale has lost the energy it contained, and is now just a decoration.

Sidi: "Oh."

The child didn't know how to be polite at all, and thought it was pretty, so he accepted it and stuffed it into his pocket.

Bryce didn't keep them waiting long.

I don't know what he was doing on the top of the mountain, but he didn't make any sound the whole time, it was so quiet.

It wasn't until the sunlight outside the mountain shone into the cave that Seraphim raised his head belatedly.

Above their heads was a clear blue sky.

Seraphim: "..."

He could hardly believe his eyes.

how many years?

How many years...has he seen anything beyond the cave walls?

The sunlight in the sky was so dazzling that he didn't even think of being surprised that Bryce actually eliminated the magic circle.

Lilith was not that surprised, she quietly took two steps aside, and gently pushed the Seraphim's wings.

The next moment, the silver dragon spread its wings and rose.

The sun was strong, but the wind in mid-air was not weak. The strong wind gave it a little push, and even the bone-turned tail floated backwards. It could stop in the sky without magic.

He thought he had forgotten the warmth of the sun, that he had long forgotten how to fly with wings.

... Dragons are born to belong to the race of the sky.

The silver dragon circled a few times in the sky, then swooped down suddenly, grabbed Lilith's waist without saying hello, and brought her up to the sky.

Xidi looked up for a while: "...I thought they would say goodbye to me."

The figures of the dragon and the witch are getting smaller and smaller, with no intention of turning back.

Brice jumped off the rock easily and stood beside him: "It's understandable."

After all, this is the place where they have been trapped for so many years. Whoever it is, I am afraid that they will not want to look back.

Not to mention they had already left parting gifts.

A plate of small cakes was placed upright in the middle of the ruins, probably put there by Lilith at some point, and there were two steaming cups of tea beside it.

...It turns out that she can do this without the big pot.

So why did she insist on using the pot?

Is it because of the sense of ritual?Or... just want to spend more time with that dragon while making fire?

This they will never know.

Brice and Xi Di stood side by side for a while, and suddenly said: "Miss Lilith is very powerful."

Sidi: "Why?"

It is rare to hear Bryce make such an evaluation of anyone.

Bryce: "Very few people can tame a dragon."

Sidi: "Isn't it the same for the dwarves hundreds of years ago?"

Seraphim were once the pets of the dwarves.

"That's captivity." Brice stroked the boy's hair, "That's not taming."

Sidi: "What's the difference?"

"Captive is to get," Brace said, "and tame is to have."

Xi Di: "..."

The child blinked, pretending to understand, and changed the subject: "What do you want dragon blood for?"

It turned out that he had heard it all.

Brice held up the small glass bottle and placed it in front of his eyes. The dragon's blood vibrated with a strange light. It was still warm after being away from the body for a long time.

Opposite the glass bottle was Sheedy's curious face.

Sidi: "Do you know alchemy?"

Bruce: "No."

Xi Di was a little disappointed: "I thought you could do everything."

Brice said slowly: "I don't need alchemy... But compared to this, I know another use of dragon blood."

Sheedy's eyes urged him to hurry up.

"... aphrodisiac," Brace said.

The author says:

Seraphim: Hey, I'm leaving!Don't think about me!

----

Me: Why, isn’t dragon blood aphrodisiac a basic setting of Western Fantasy!

...of course it's not just this (.
