Chapter 2140: Temporary Farewell
Although this summer rain in Tobesk was not urgent, it did not mean to stop until the evening. People entering and leaving Tobesk train station were in a hurry, as if urged by raindrops not to slow down their journey.
When Emilia and the three arrived in Tobesk, Xia De, the doctor, and Dorothy welcomed them. And when they left after a short ten-day stay, the people seeing them off became Xia De, Luweiya, and Dorothy.
Because they were worried about delaying the train, Mr. Rio Enshir and Miss Matila Delas set off from the Three Cats Hotel by carriage an hour early. Luweiya and Dorothy also helped them handle the check-out at the Three Cats Hotel. When the four appeared at the entrance of the train station together, it was still early before the departure time.
"Hasn't Mr. Hamilton and the others come over yet?"
Mr. Enshir, carrying his suitcase, looked around, and Dorothy shook her head slightly:
"Xia De just said he would take Emilia around, and meet us here in the evening. We don't know exactly where they went, but Xia De shouldn't have forgotten the time."
It was not convenient to talk on the street in the rain, so the group quickly squeezed into the train station and found Platform 3 to wait for the train. And Xia De and Emilia didn't delay too long, appearing on the platform only ten minutes later than them.
Xia De had a cat standing on his shoulder, and he was helping Emilia carry her suitcase in his hand. The golden-haired elven girl had a flushed face, pulling Xia De's sleeve, and greeted them on the platform excitedly:
"Good afternoon, I really didn't expect to leave so soon."
Except for Xia De, the four people present all thought she would be unusually reluctant, but it seemed that the excitement on Emilia's face could not be suppressed.
The three suitcases were piled together. When Mr. Enshir went to check the train schedule, Miss Matila Delas asked curiously:
"Emilia, where did you go to play today? You look really happy."
"We went..."
The elven girl pursed her lips and glanced at Xia De, and the memories from not long ago flashed through her mind quickly.
On the vast plain of the wilderness, Xia De dropped his umbrella and turned his back to the elf, opening his arms towards the distant mountains. The dazzling light and violent wind forced Emilia to retreat and squint her eyes, and when she opened her eyes again, there was a silver giant dragon lying on the ground as tall as a mountain.
Emilia still remembered the appearance of every scale on its body glowing, still remembered the ridiculous appearance of the cat Little Mia standing on its head when the dragon looked at her, and still remembered the warm temperature of the dragon when she was lying on the dragon's back, holding the cat and flying while riding the dragon... She felt that no matter how many years she could live, she would always remember this afternoon.
The memory ended, and she said very smoothly:
"We have been at Xia De's house."
Although she was very excited because of today's experience, she still remembered Xia De's instructions. The fact that he turned into a dragon again could not be talked about everywhere.
Miss Delas looked at Xia De suspiciously:
"Then how did you play at Mr. Hamilton's house?"
Emilia, who was still letting her imagination run wild, answered:
"Flying... the feeling of flying towards the peak, he is very gentle, I mean, this is an experience I have never had before. Hmm... but Xia De was bad-hearted and deliberately scared me when I was happy, I almost rolled my eyes and fainted at the time... but it felt not bad."
She was referring to Xia De suddenly falling almost vertically after flying to a high place, but this was not Xia De bad-heartedly scaring Emilia and Little Mia, he just wanted to make this flight experience more interesting, and he also had to adapt to various flight postures.
And the ladies who didn't know the truth, yes, including Luweiya and Dorothy, looked at Xia De in surprise when they heard Emilia's description.
The waiting platform was exceptionally noisy, but for a while, no one spoke. Xia De also looked at them suspiciously, not knowing what their eyes meant, until Miss Delas sniffed a few times and asked the young elf again:
"Emilia, have you just taken a bath?"
"When... playing at Xia De's house, I accidentally got my clothes wet."
She explained, and then saw Luweiya and Dorothy pull Xia De aside, looking serious as if questioning him. And before the curious elf could eavesdrop on their conversation, Miss Delas also pulled Emilia to the other side of the luggage, and then asked a few questions in her ear in a low voice, a little worried:
"Emilia, you have to tell me the truth, are you and Mr. Hamilton..."
So the expression on Emilia's exquisite little face changed from excitement to doubt, from doubt to surprise, and finally her face turned completely red. If she hadn't been supported by Miss Delas in time, she would have almost fainted from shyness:
"How is that possible, what are you thinking? We are just, just, oh, Father God above, if you keep guessing, I will lose the qualification to touch Little Liana."
In short, the Tobesk trip of Emilia and the three ended in this way on this Thursday afternoon, not perfect, but at least without leaving too many regrets. When the train was about to depart, Emilia finally poked her head out of her compartment window and waved her hat to say goodbye to the three of Xia De in the swirling steam mist. The train started slowly, Xia De followed the moving carriage quickly, until his walking speed could no longer catch up with the train's moving speed, he could only stand there, watching Emilia's figure waving her hat from the train window getting farther and farther away, farther and farther away, until it disappeared completely.
The outsider sighed softly, and for a moment felt a bit melancholy.
"So, you turned into a dragon again today and took her out to play for an afternoon?"
Luweiya's hand rested on Xia De's shoulder, and Xia De turned to see that Luweiya and Dorothy had also walked behind him.
"You actually guessed it?"
"Otherwise, could you take Emilia into the Soul Cemetery and call out her dead ancestors to play with her?"
Dorothy also teased:
"What a lucky girl, Luweiya, Lei Qianya, and Galina, none of us have been able to fly while riding you."
The tone was like a joke, but also like expressing a little dissatisfaction.
Xia De had already prepared his rhetoric:
"I need less than a month to adapt to this brand-new power. Once the Transfiguration is completely stable, you can do whatever you want. Isn't it just riding a dragon to fly? I don't care about this, we'll find time to go again when the time comes."
The two girls smiled satisfied, and walked towards the exit with Xia De. Xia De still had to go to Moon Bay City to attend a banquet in a while, and they had to help Xia De tidy up his clothes, so they couldn't let the witches in Moon Bay think he didn't have a girl who knew how to take care of his life around him.
It's just that Xia De suddenly had a question:
"In other stories, once elements like dragons appear, the protagonists of the story usually become Dragon Knights. How come here, I have become the one being ridden... Is this a bit wrong?"
"She" smiled gently:
【Because, you are not the protagonist of this story.】
"Iluna is the protagonist... Wait, are you implying that Iluna will also ride the dragon I turn into in the near future?"
【This depends on your own wishes.】
"Her" laughter became more and more light.
Xia De certainly didn't just focus on making Emilia happy this afternoon. Just as he said, he also wanted to know how much spirit he would consume to turn into a dragon in a normal state, and how much power he could exert.
On the carriage returning home from the train station, Xia De discussed this issue with Luweiya and Dorothy:
"The spirit consumed to maintain the dragon form is really a lot, even if it's just standing still, it consumes spirit, and once it flies or even casts spells, it consumes even more. I don't know if this is because I haven't been able to fully control this power. After I turn into a dragon, my body is terrifyingly large but completely uncontrollable. This afternoon I maintained the dragon form for less than three hours, you see, this bottle is already empty, and this is when I didn't cast any spells at all."
He took out the small perfume bottle, unexpectedly Little Mia rushed over, stretched out its little head and sniffed hard at the bottle mouth, and then lay back on Xia De's lap as if very satisfied.
Xia De smiled and stroked the cat's back fur, and the purple-eyed divination lady asked curiously:
"After turning into a dragon, what impact does it have on your strength?"
The bumpy carriage had crossed the North City District, and it would be home in more than ten minutes. Xia De recalled carefully:
"The dragon form can still summon the life ring, but all miracles that require gestures, such as 【Heaton Seal】, cannot be used. The physical strength and defense of that form are much stronger than I am now, but becoming so large makes it easier to be hit by attacks. In fact, the main attack method of turning into a dragon is energy spray. It's probably because I have used the 'Higgs Dragon Head Stone' many times and have learned how to perform energy spray with full force. I don't even need to practice in dragon form to use this move well."
"It's a pity that dragon language spells have long been lost, and there are no inherited Dragonborn ring sorcerers around us, otherwise Xia De could learn some dragon spells."
Dorothy said with regret, and Xia De nodded, just wanting to say that he could only wait until he met Fiona on the other side of time next time, but then immediately thought that in this time key reward, that "Miracle-Dragon Roar" might be a power very suitable for dragon form.
"Could it be that the Tree Father knew long ago that I could find the divinity of the evil god in Moon Bay, and thus possess a brand-new Transfiguration?"
This question could not be answered for the time being. ===== CHAPTER 2141 =====
"Could it be that the Tree Father knew long ago that I would be able to find the deity's divinity in Moon Bay, and thus possess a brand-new transformation art?"
For the moment, no one could answer this question.
