Dragon-Shaped Husky
Meryer was stuck in a dilemma.
That damned evil god had restricted its activity within a three-kilometer radius zone.
But after checking the entire area, Meryer found that there was hardly any food here at all!
Oh my lord! Is this great Meryer going to starve to death here?
It is a young teenage dragon, and this is the prime time when its body was constantly growing, so its appetite was as expected exponentially huge.
It never before experienced such feeling of hunger even when it settled in the castle at the Dark Mountains of the Orcs.
At that time, the Beastmen tribe would prepare everything it needed.
Thinking of those simple and capable Orcs, and then thinking of these cruel and batshit crazy long-eared hellspawns in comparison, Meryer felt that its future was getting darker and darker.
Do I really have to surrender to these long-eared people?
Thinking of the taste of the meat skewer just now, Meryer subconsciously swallowed, but soon shook its head in resistance.
No! No! How can I, the great Meryer bow down to the forces of evil?
It seemed to have forgotten
It had already bowed twice.
But at this very moment, a more tempting aroma of meat wafted over the vicinity.
Meryer sniffed, and in an instant, It felt its hunger getting stronger, and its dragon saliva couldnt help but drip all over the ground.
Slurp it smells so good
Its body subconsciously moved on its own towards the direction of the aroma.
Crossing a small hill, Meryer quickly found the source of the fragrance at the edge of the town
It was that elf named Lil Salty Cat.
She was roasting meat on the bonfire with two other male elves, and the meat sizzled and emitted oil on the bonfire, sprinkled with indescribable spices and honey. The rich enticing aroma could be smelled from afar.
Meanwhile, the pile of monster meat on their side was as high as a small mountain!
When Lil Salty Cat saw the sudden appearance of a giant dragon head peeking over the corner, those shiny dragon eyes and the conflicted little expression that seemed to be forcing itself not to look over here, her eyes then curved into a crescent shape akin to a mischievous feline.
She took a skewer of roasted meat from the bonfire, took a slow deliberate bite and let the meaty aroma filled her mouth entirely.
The savory and tender meat was delicious, crispy and shiny whilst fat melted in her mouth like butter. The tantalizing taste made her eyes sparkle.
These Northeastern bros cooking skills were indeed superb!
Seeing her enjoying the food, Meryers eyes also lit up slightly, and it salivated even more.
Lil Salty Cat glanced at it, and Meryer immediately hid its expression.
It lifted its dragon head proudly, pouted like a sulking child, and gasped for breath, but its eyes kept glancing over the meat akin to an oversized slobbering husky.
Seeing the proud dragon like this, Lil Salty Cat showed a friendly smile.
She picked up a large skewer made of twigs from the bonfire and sniffed it in her nose
Mmm, smells great!
She made an intoxicated expression and then raised the skewer, tempting Little Black Dragon:
Do you want to eat?
Meryer:
Little Black Dragons expression became even more frustrated.
Gulu
Another loud noise came from its stomach.
Meryer:
It took a deep breath and made some internal excuses.
Hmph, This is not a surrender! Its just a temporary truce! This is not acceptance, but saving strength for the future freedom!
Then, the dragon walked timidly to Lil Salty Cats side and took a tentative bite off the skewer.
Munch, munch
Juices and fat overflowed, as the chewy meat and crispy texture were perfectly combined all together. The savory flavor rapidly spread in its mouth
Deliciousits really delicious!
Meryers dragon eyes widened instantly.
After finishing the skewer, the dragon then smacked its lips, clearly still not satisfied.
Perhaps because it was too hungry, even Meryer felt that this was more delicious than its usual food!
Human cuisine is quite famous in Saiges, and Meryers foster father was once a noble Silver dragon who loved human food. However, even when following its father, Meryer had never tasted such delicious grilled meat!
Looking at Meryers shining eyes, Lil Salty Cat smiled:
Dont worry, theres a lot more but it needs to be grilled again.
After speaking, Lil Salty Cat thought for a moment and continued:
Um, we have to wait for the grilled meat to be ready so maybe do you want to hear a story?
A story? Meryer was slightly intrigued.
It glanced at this evil long-eared lass with a proud and slightly curious expression.
What story?
Lil Salty Cat raised the corner of her mouth:
A story about a kind race that loves peace
A kind race
Meryer frowned and sneered inwardly:
Kind?
Ha ha.
Do evil races even know what the concept of kindness is? The Dragon highly doubt it.
Hmph, fine then, you have one chance elf.
Meryer said coolly.
Forget it.
Since this Lord has eaten from this little female creature, lets hear what this evil girl has to say!
This dragons mental defenses seemed to have been breached a little. Just a little more push then Lil Salty Cat could make it a companion and lead this dragon onto the path of justice.
After all the grilled meat was quite tempting to it.
Seeing the elf lass snickering to herself Meryer narrowed its eyes and thought,
Hmph, this Lord is definitely not just here for the grilled meat!
Looking at the Dragon becoming more and more unrestrained under the temptation of Lil Salty Cat, Eve felt very satisfied.
It seems that this dragon-shaped husky who seem to think that it is a Silver dragon will soon be completely tamed.
She smiled in satisfaction and then shifted her focus onto her own body.
Now that the elves of the Rageblaze Clan have returned and the number of players is steadily increasing, someone will eventually took notice of such a big change happening in the Forest of Elves.
Although she once again threw some diversion and misdirected some of the blame to Hela, Uller would definitely not give up, after all, this forest is not the underworld where the Death Goddess reign.
However, Ullers next move will certainly be a lot more cautious.
Perhaps He would even order his divine envoy to investigate in person.
With the improvement of her strength, Eves concealment barrier which she had set up for herself, also expanded up to thirty kilometers.
That is to say, what others see of the World Tree thirty kilometers away is different from what they can truly see within thirty kilometers.
Nevertheless, if the enemy sneaks in directly and cautiously snoops around thoroughly then they might really discover the revival of the World Tree!
However, after overcoming her initial quasi-death situation, Eve felt that she had more precise control over her body.
Therefore, she decided to further improve her main bodys concealment.
Expanding the a veil of illusion within a certain range is not as good as setting it up directly coating it close on my body. Its more mana efficient and I can directly apply power to my body, conceal my changes, and only let my believers and the players see my true appearance!
In this way, even if there are hostile forces lurking in that somehow manage to intrude, just as long as they dont touch my body then they wont discover any changes whatsoever. They will only still see the fake withered World Tree!
Plus the players and believers have long known that I need to conceal my revival from the outside world. Alas even if someone sneaks in, I can notify them immediately to respond.
Hmmm perhaps I can also use some more misdirection!
Previously, Eves control over her divine power was not as precise, and her connection with believers and players was also crude and not stable.
But after regaining more of her power, she was able to do more things she couldnt before.
Thinking of this, she quickly constructed a second barrier onto her body.
At the same time, the NPC task system that she had initially been planning can also now be implemented due to the increase of native elves and the further strengthening of magic she could gather.
