Chapter 3 The Biological Chain of the Lord's Palace
Before he could get close to the main city of Moldavia, Joshua's keen perception had discovered a surprising truth.
There is a familiar and unfamiliar legendary powerhouse who is now in the lord's mansion, he or she has a steady and steady breath, and seems to be meditating, while Hotaru and Rin, number 3, black and light are all in the lord's mansion, and they are in the same activities as on weekdays.
- Who is this?
Joshua couldn't remember who this legendary aura with a slight sense of familiarity belonged to, but there was no doubt that it was definitely not Israel, the breath of His Majesty the Emperor seemed to be an endless vast airspace, nor Nostradamus, the old mage's feeling was the chaotic fluctuations of time and space, this was naturally not Iger, the power of the old Pope was so strong that it was difficult for Joshua to sense his breath, just as it was difficult to find a unique ray of light in the sun.
In any case, this legendary powerhouse at least has good intentions, at least he can sense that his relatives in the lord's mansion are still alive and well, and there is nothing wrong with the city...... Maybe it's just like the nature guru who came to visit him? As a result, because I was not away from home, I had to wait here first?
"It's not impossible...... Wait a minute. ”
Speaking of the Nature Mentor, Joshua suddenly remembered another legendary female powerhouse who was famous in the mainland - Faina, a sage of the East China Sea! He immediately confirmed the identity of the legendary aura in the lord's mansion, and there was no doubt that it was the sage!
Faina hadn't had much contact with Joshua and the others since her last trip to the space-time distortion point in Fairy Township, for warriors, the Sage Lady, who had no sense of existence because she was integrated with the world, was naturally a familiar and unfamiliar legend, and after remembering that this breath belonged to her, Joshua couldn't help but feel a little strange in addition to her sudden realization: Why?
If it was easy to explain if Israel came, he would definitely come over to see how he was doing and what he was doing, and Nostradamus was not surprised, both of them were his friends, even Eagle was not obtrusive, after all, the old Pope had a good old man temperament that was not obtrusive no matter where he was...... Even Barbarossa, who pierced the White Tower, was not surprised to visit him because of the whereabouts of Barnier and William.
But the sage of the East China Sea ...... Faina, why is she here?
Although it seemed that he had thought a lot, in fact, Joshua did not slow down and pause at all along the way, he had already come to the sky above Moldavia when he just remembered that this breath was Faina, and when he was thinking about why Fayna had returned, his feet had already stepped on the stone slab on the top floor of the lord's mansion.
"Joshua, you're back."
In mid-air, the magic projection of No. 3 appeared silently, even if it was a warrior, it was only discovered at the moment when the other party was about to appear, he turned his head to look in the direction of the winged girl, originally wanted to admire the progress of the other party's strength, and he must have not slackened in interpreting Geer's inheritance runes these days, but just as the words were about to be spoken, Joshua involuntarily changed his words: "Hey, No. 3, your clothes ......"
In front of his eyes, No. 3, who had always been dressed in a long dress like a doll, was now dressed in a loose robe that looked like a priest of the temple of ancient times...... It was not enough to distract Joshua, but the robe was obviously too wide for the petite No. 3, so that the girl's fair shoulders and side waist could be seen through the gaps in the robe.
"This is His Majesty's priestly robe, and I haven't had time to change the size yet...... What do you think? No. 3 seemed to have sensed Joshua's presence and immediately came out to greet her, so her face looked a little hurried and a little apprehensive.
"Gotta get dressed, No. 3, it looks like it's about to fall." Joshua said quite sadly: "Pay attention to precautions, you can't just come out next time." ”
“……”
No. 3, who felt that she had been educated by her father, was full of entanglements, but fortunately, the artificial intelligence thought quickly, and the moment the atmosphere cooled down, she immediately said as if she had not been affected in any way: "By the way, Joshua, there was a ...... a few days ago"
"Well, I've sensed it a long time ago, the Sage of the East China Sea is here, right?"
Joshua let go of Lisa's hand at this time, the dragon girl had already fallen into a stupor when she saw Moldavia with her own eyes, and the Syndicate was actually not much better - these two rural turtles, one grew up in a civilized and backward mountain village, the other foraged in volcanoes and poisonous seas all day long, and some small cities of dragons and demons, when had they ever seen such a large and spectacular urban agglomeration? At this point, Lisa felt the warrior let go, and she immediately muttered to herself, "Oh my God...... Ten, hundred, thousand, thousand, one hundred thousand...... There are so many people! ”
Using the counting units of the McCrof world, which she was not yet very proficient in, Lisa estimated the approximate population of the city based on her first impression, which immediately caused the girl to fall into confusion - there may not be so many people in the entire dragon race!
The demons, on the other hand, were wondering if all the people in this huge city were wearing demonic armor and raising all kinds of enchanted weapons, would a single abyss be able to resist such an attack...... What if it wasn't a city, but a country?
Suddenly, the two of them trembled at the same time.
"Hey, this is ......"
At this time, No. 3 noticed Lisa beside Joshua. There is no way, the presence of the warrior is like a black dot in a blank piece of paper, always involuntarily attracting people's attention, and then ignoring the existence around him, and at this time, the dragon girl also curiously flapped her tail and looked up at the winged girl in front of her.
"Hello!" Lisa greeted obediently: "I am Master's new disciple, my name is Lisa!" ”
Because of Joshua's good education in the past three weeks, the dragon girl can definitely be regarded as a model of politeness, but No. 3 was a little uncomfortable in the face of such an orthodox greeting: "Ah, okay, that, my name is No. 3." ”
As she spoke, the Winged Maiden looked at Lisa...... The black-haired dragonman girl had two pale dragon horns on the top of her head, and the ends of her hair that hung down to her waist turned blue, flashing with subtle thunder, and an aura very similar to black spread from the depths of her body, like a ......
Wait a minute.
A similar aura to black?
"No. 3, you will take Lisa around the Lord's Mansion first, let her visit Moldavia tomorrow, and find a random room for her to live in today, if it really doesn't work, let her live with Hotaru, and I will take her to Wintercastle Academy in a few days."
Joshua said to No. 3, who seemed to be thinking, very naturally, and then walked to the sinking staircase leading to the lord's mansion on his own: "I'll go down and say hello to the Sage Lady and ask her why she visited me." ”
"Okay, Joshua."
Hearing the warrior's words, the winged girl naturally agreed, but when Joshua's figure really disappeared into the stairs, No. 3 turned her head and looked at Lisa, who was extremely curious at this time, looking around at the surrounding environment, and she could see that the dragon girl was looking at the entire city at the battlements on the edge of the lord's mansion at this time. No. 3 didn't bother Lisa, who was excited at this time, but waited for the other party's mood to stabilize a little before he spoke: "Lisa." ”
"Well, Sister Three?"
Hearing Lisa's sincere words, Miss Artificial Intelligence suddenly felt a strange feeling growing in her heart, she really wanted to tell the truth, for example, she is now more than a thousand years old, it is more appropriate than her sister to call a grandmother...... At least he should be the same generation as Joshua, so that he is not a generation younger out of thin air? But no one will forcibly improve their rank, so No. 3 simply accepted the title of sister, she said: "The scenery of the city, I'll let Hotaru and Rin accompany you to see it later, for now, I'll show you the other people in the lord's mansion first." ”
"Okay!" The dragon girl said happily, so the two of them entered the lord's mansion one after the other.
……
"Ahh......hh
"Uh-huh......"
In the study on the second floor of the Lord's Mansion, Hotaru blinked, looking at No. 3 who was flying over with a calm face in front of her, and the dragon girl who was jumping and following No. 3, she also looked at Lisa with empty eyes, but did not say a word.
Sitting on the sofa next to him, Rin, who was reading a copy of "Detailed Explanation of the Psychic Discontinuous Leap Formula", narrowed his eyes and looked strange.
"This breath ......," the siblings whispered to themselves almost at the same time, but soon, they greeted Lisa and Number Three, and their eyes became even more suspicious when they learned that the other was Joshua's new disciple.
"That's not right, doesn't the master still have a few reserve disciples in the Wintercastle Academy, how can you go outside and bring back a formal disciple?"
"And, didn't the master say last time that he and Mr. Barnier and Mr. William went to find the ancient dragon? How did you bring back a dragon girl? ”
At this time, not only the two sisters and brothers, but all the maids of the lord's mansion who had seen Lisa along the way, at this time, they all found their companions not far away, and they made eye contact with each other, they were silent and did not say a word, but they seemed to be able to communicate all information with ethereal eyes.
And at this moment, with the sound of footsteps of 'dong dong dong', a black figure with a glowing ball above his head appeared out of nowhere and strode towards the study.
"I feel the host is back! I heard that you brought someone else with you? ”
Hei opened the door of the study with a big grin, and then said loudly in a voice that did not lower the volume in the slightest: "Where are the people, let me see!" ”
And between the two corners above her head, the light cluster Xiaoguang who was constantly spinning also said quite seriously: "Jingle bell!" ”
But what greeted her was everyone's strange and inexplicable eyes, and Lisa's energetic greeting: "Hello sister!" ”
"Black......"
Hotaru slowly stood up, the silver-haired girl had recently been ordered by Joshua to strengthen her studies, so even if she got up, she was generous, as if she was a lady from an aristocratic family, she and No. 3 slowly approached Hei together, with a gentle smile on her face.
"How...... What's wrong? ”
Chilled by this tone and eyes, Hei turned his head to look at No. 3 in a panic, only to find that Miss Artificial Intelligence had closed the door at this time, and was applying an isolation circle to the study, which immediately made Hei even more flustered: "Wait, what are you doing here?!" ”
"Bell jingle bell?!"
But Hotaru and No. 3 didn't care about the black and strong general questioning, but Qi Qi approached **, and suddenly the black dragon girl involuntarily stepped back step by step, but soon, she couldn't retreat, behind her was the corner of the wall, Hei immediately took off the small light above his head, and held it in his arms, a dragon man and a ball of light showed a frightened expression, and trembled and said: "What are you going to do...... I said the master is down there! He'll find out! ”
"Nothing, as long as you cooperate well." Hotaru said in a rather calm tone.
"Just obey your orders." This is the word of number 3.
The two continued to get closer, and Kuro, who was approaching the corner, suddenly closed her eyes, her face was full of tears, she felt that she was blocked in the corner by the hands of Hotaru and No. 3, and the two were approaching her, and then ......
Sniffed the smell.
"Well, the taste is similar, but it's not actually the same ...... It doesn't seem to be her species. ”
"yes, we think about it too much, think about it carefully, hasn't Hei been with us all the time, there is no chance."
"It should have been brought back from the outside...... Ancient dragon bloodline? ”
"It seems that it should be really talented, so I accepted the apprentice, then again, Lisa's little sister has this strength at this age, and it is indeed very strong."
Hei didn't understand what these two people were talking about, and the ball of light also let out a 'jingle bell?' By this time, Hotaru and No. 3 had already left, and they took Lisa to meet Hei, so that everyone in the lord's mansion knew the polite and gifted dragonman girl.
Unlike Lisa, who thinks everyone is friendly, the demon soul in the girl's heart feels speechless for a while, but because of her own identity and the fact that it is indeed very tired, she simply falls into a deep sleep, so as not to continue to mix with this strange thing.
And at the same time.
Moldavian Lord's Palace, Reception Hall.
"What's wrong, Joshua?"
Faced with the puzzled inquiry of the Faina clone in front of him, who was completely condensed by spirit, Joshua, who could clearly hear the voices of several people upstairs even in the living room, paused, and then continued: "It's nothing, let's continue the previous topic." ”
"It's okay, although my spirit clone can be preserved for a long time during the dormant period, it will dissipate quickly in unfamiliar places."
Nodding, the woman with her eyes closed, but unable to see her face clearly, said so, she faced Joshua and said in a sincere tone, "Then let's continue." ”
"There is a proposal for full cooperation between Moldavia and Sea Dragon City, please tell me what you think."
