I Reincarnated as a Wicked Girl
Chapter 6 Dragon Forest, Damian
Previous story:
Diana and Evan return first to the kingdom of Well because of Evan's fairly vulnerable condition. Eva and Rexus chose to stay because there were still some things they had to do. They still needed to search for the whereabouts of the old dragon, the friend of the elves.
So they searched for her with Fram's help. The residence of the old dragon was in a large cave located on the border of the dark and light elf region.
Ren didn't drive because he was busy. Lately the conflict of the elves due to the seizure of territory makes her very dizzy. Light elves and dark elves started attacking each other. So Ren must immediately clear up this problem because he wants to continue his research again.
***
The three of us stared at the huge dragon with fascinated gazes. The dragon slowly opened his eyelids and looked at us. Then he slowly raised his head lazily.
Rexus felt excited as he watched the dragon move.
"Damian, we're here with Ren's permission" Fram said quickly. He was afraid that the dragon was maraing at them because it had already disturbed his sleep.
I quickly took out a strange green crystal from my pocket and showed it. "He gave us this. We just want to talk to you"
The dragon did not respond. He rolled his eyeballs staring at the human, elf and the little dragon in front of him.
This huge dragon named Damian had dark green scales like Leaves. His entire body and wings were green. His eyes were golden in color, thus making him quite striking. Reminds me of a giant chameleon.
Before going here actually Ren had explained a little detail about Damian. Damian is a forest dragon. He excelled in wind, earth and water magic. He is very old, almost 10,000 years old. Dragons that have lived a long time and do not care about any situation outside. He just relaxes every day. But the elves had great respect for her because the dragon had helped their farm when the harvest crisis occurred.
The dragon poked its big head towards us one by one. Like selecting something. It made us freeze in place.
"Elf" he said as he looked at Fram. Then he nodded his head at me. "Man" I'm fascinated with his golden pupils. Emerta also has golden pupils. I must admit the golden pupils are very beautiful. Then Damian moved his head towards Rexus. "I don't know what you are" he said flatly. Makes us all flinch.
He doesn't recognize Rexus? How come? Rexus is 100% dragon, just like him. I saw the birth of Rexus with my own eyes.
"We're here because Rexus wants to see you. He wanted to meet the dragon species, ever since he never found one when he was born" I began to state my purpose.
Damian sees Eva and Rexus in turn. "There is no contract. How can you be together like that?" He looked at Rexus as if he were an alien species. "How can you be so familiar with humans?"
"Contract?" I muttered with a confused face. Damian knows that Rexus is a dragon. But what does the word 'I don't know what you' mean' come out of his mouth?
The dragon ignored my confused expression and looked at Rexus with a serious look. "I don't know you at all. Too much mixture. Black dragon? But you're not a black dragon. Even if you're the descendant of the black dragon. But there's something else about you and I don't know what it is"
"I don't know either" Rexus, who had been silent, finally opened his mouth. Rexus doesn't know himself. He did not know the identity of his parents at all because they died without leaving a trace.
"You've just been born. Your mana is very unstable. Stay here. I'll train you using mana" the cold voice of the dragon floated all over the cave.
I froze in place. There's a little bit of discomfort. Rexus will be separated from me?
I looked at Rexus anxiously. Rexus also turned his head to look at me. I actually don't want to interfere at all. I'll let Rexus make his own decision. This is for his own good anyway. He could stay and practice mana with the old mana, so that he could become stronger and mighty.
"Eva, how?" Rexus blinked his eyes confused.
"I won't give you any opinion. It's all up to you little Rexus" I said later.
Rexus fell silent, he thought for a moment. Before he finally looked at Damian and nodded.
I was actually a bit disappointed when I found out that the little dragon was about to leave me. But this is not a goodbye forever. It's just a temporary farewell. Besides, I can still visit Rexus if I'm not busy in the future.
"I'll be back later" Rexus looked at Damian solemnly. "For now I will accompany Eva until she returns to the human kingdom. After that, I'll go back to your place to practice" Rexus made a decision.
I'm very confused about the contract here. What does it mean to contract with a magic beast huh? To be honest I never thought of Rexus as a magical beast at all. Rexus can talk and he has emotions. They may be a little different. And I think of her as a friend not a magical beast.
"Give me the crystal" Damian then said.
I also approached while thrusting the crystal. Damian opened his mouth and he swallowed the small crystal easily.
Whatisit?
Is that dragon food?
I looked at everything in a daze.
"That's my crystal core" Damian replied, as if he understood the question from Eva's confused face.
"Crystal core?"
"Crystal essence is one of the heirlooms we keep. The crystal core contained a lot of mana within it. Before that I loaned my crystal core to Ren. I don't know what he wants with my crystal core. But it seems like he needs her for research. Now he has returned it to me. He doesn't need her anymore" Damian explained everything.
"Sister Ren wanted to create a prototype that was similar to a crystal core. A small ball that stores mana" Fram then adds to it. The little boy knew a lot about what Ren was doing.
"Why did he make it?"
"The essence of the crystal is the energy that makes all the strange robots able to move in our village"
"ah! I understand!" yelling reflex. So it works just like a battery? Because the crystal core stores mana and the robots iut also moved by mana. That's why robots can move on their own without the need for a witch to move it.
"Ren's a real genius" I said in awe. At least so far I've found that Ren's discovery is amazing. Even more amazing and useful than David's invention.
"Man, when I touch your hand. I felt something strange. Let me touch your hand again" Damian suddenly said in a curious tone.
I stretched out my hand easily. And Damian moved his head. Then her big forehead stuck right in my palm.
"I sense the existence of a vague god in your mana" Damian muttered. "Are you a god's dribble?"
I glared when I heard him. There's no way I'm god's drip. The only god I've ever met was that ugly cat. And that ugly cat never showed itself again for years.
"Not" I refused.
"really? Have you never met them before?" ask the dragon.
Them? What does it mean that there is more than one god in this world?
"I may have met one" I replied unsure "In my dream"
Damian still looked at me with a look of disbelief. It was as if he said 'I lied'. But then he gave up on making sure. "Maybe the gods bless you" he said weakly.
Yep! The cat god gave me a blessing. Blessed death! He made me live again in a goddamn character who had a tragic fate in the novel. Actually, I still don't accept this. I feel very aggrieved. And this is not fair! But everything's already gone. I just have to face my life right now with a chest.
The four of us should be able to speak quietly here, but suddenly a shrill voice was heard throughout the cave. "Hey, dragon! Give me your heirloom!" the voice looked childish and very arrogant.
We turned our heads and saw a number of elves heading towards us. They were not dark elves because their skin color was very different m There were about fifteen adult elves, with a small elf acting as the leader in front of the group.
Who're they?
