Alien world

Chapter 1240 162. One Gem Missing

Ilimayas slowly woke up from her long sleep, gracefully stretching out her slender azure dragon body that was more beautiful than a few months ago.

Her dragon blood allows her to increase in strength every time she wakes up from her slumber.

Carefully feeling the new power surging in her body, Ilimayas's gorgeous and majestic vertical pupils stared outside the nest.

Just now, she seemed to hear that human voice.

……

A beautiful girl in a blue dress appeared on the streets of Liberty City.

She was like an aristocratic girl who was naive to the world. She was extremely curious about everything around her, but because of her upbringing and reserve, she only cast an inquiring glance.

The girl in the blue dress was exactly the incarnation of Elimoas. She walked in the ever-changing Liberty City without disturbing anyone.

It seems that every time I wake up, Liberty City undergoes earth-shaking changes...

Even the people and things that were once familiar now seem vague.

When did that lush tree that was much taller than the city lord's mansion grow? Why were there so many villages and wheat fields outside the city? There seemed to be more pedestrians on the street and more ships in the harbor. Why were there two railroad tracks extending eastward from the new building called the station?

Elimoas saw Grasti following a little girl like a follower, and saw Yumils and Cletaria bullying the only white dragon in Liberty City by relying on their magic.

Everything in front of her seemed both familiar and strange to her.

Maybe when he wakes up from his deep sleep, Liberty City will have changed even more...

Elimoas inexplicably felt an emotion that didn't belong here, and it grew stronger as she walked through the streets of Liberty City.

“There is a kind of bird that cannot be caged. Every feather of its wings is filled with the glory of freedom!”

The bard on the street corner was playing a ballad praising "The Redemption of Betar", and he didn't notice that a girl in a blue skirt had stayed briefly on the outskirts.

No one in the city noticed that Ilimayas had woken up. Annan's attention was on the movements of the northern ratmen and demons.

Liberty City is not a Night City.

When it's late at night and everyone is asleep, only the commercial street and the coastal street are still bustling, while other places have already fallen asleep.

At some point, a dark shadow flew out of the crystal nest, flapped its wings and hovered in the sky, overlooking Liberty City, and then disappeared without a trace.

……

"Uuuuuuuuuu——"

Late at night, Annan was awakened by a tragic cry and saw three-colored ghosts floating outside the window, crying.

Waking up at night and seeing a ghost crying outside the window, it was not scary but also made people feel uncomfortable. Annan opened the window silently: "What's wrong with you?"

The ghosts couldn't speak, they were just anxious to take Annan somewhere.

Annan followed them to the Crystal Nest, and saw... or rather, did not see Elimoas and the Treasure Mountain.

There was only an empty space left.

The Crystal Nest was stolen! ?

No...it's Elimoas who's missing!

Annan was so shocked that he couldn't react for a while. He stood there stupidly for a long time before running to the nest of the three little ones next door - they were still there, curled up and sleeping.

Annan asked them, but no one knew when the eldest sister left.

Could it be that because I ignored her, Elimoyas ran away from home! ?
Annan rushed back to the City Lord's Mansion, and soon, the windows of the City Lord's Mansion lit up.

Everyone was awakened by Annan, and no one saw Elimoyas.

"The most urgent thing is to find her..." Annan remembered something: "Lilith!"

Lilith appeared in the hall, and Annan asked, "Did you see where Ilimayas went?"

"The blue dragon has left."

"I know, where did she go!?"

"Outside." But at least they confirmed that Elimoyas left on her own and was not coerced by anyone.

Annan took out the dragon scale of Ilimayas and tried to summon it, but the portal was forcibly interrupted just as it was about to take shape.

The most likely possibility is that Elimoas has returned to her tribe... Annan found the scales of Elimoas' mother in the magic ring and opened the portal.

After communication, I learned that she had not seen her daughter come back.

"Could it be that Ilimayas has reached her rebellious phase..." the Dragon Mother spoke in a low voice.

"Do dragons also have a rebellious period?"

The answer is that dragons have it, too. Almost all dragons leave their parents when their offspring grow up. Blue dragons tend to live in groups, but they still have this instinct.

"But Elimoas is already a young dragon..."

"That's why you made my baby girl mad!"

"I also think it's a rebellious period!" Annan immediately changed his words.

Come to think of it. Unless I beg her, Ilimayas never goes out, so how could she leave without saying goodbye?

So where could she go?
……

"Greetings, Sir Makarov."

Joan lifted her skirt and saluted the man in front of the castle.

The old housekeeper who led her in said, "This young lady is...is..."

Joan said sympathetically, "I am Joan Ecosella Joan of Arc Behdad Clement Montreal."

Montreal?

Sir Makarov's eyes narrowed slightly. This last name...

"you are……"

The head on Joan's slender neck shook slightly: "No need to mention the glory of the past. I am now the messenger of Liberty City."

Sir Makarov gasped.

It’s right…everything is right!
The relationship between the champion warlock Annan and the empire has always been talked about by the nobles. Some think that Annan is related to a certain Golden Family, some think that Annan is the concubine of a high-ranking Montreal, and some say that Annan is the illegitimate son of the Montreal Golden Family...

Whichever it is, it shows that Annan Reeves has a close relationship with the empire - the girl named Montreal in front of him is proof of this.

Sir Makarov came back to his senses and said, "Miss Joan, why did you come to my remote territory?"

"I heard that the Broken Mountains are rich in minerals, and Sir Makarov, your ancestors came from the Empire, so I came here rashly to discuss a business with you."

The Broken Mountains are located in the southeast of the Kingdom of Damon. Joan learned that there are a large number of minerals here, and Liberty City has always been short of minerals, so she decided to come and take a look. After collecting intelligence, she chose to contact Sir Makarov.

Sir Makarov showed a trace of embarrassment: "Miss Joan, you came at the wrong time. We have already planned to abandon the mining area..."

"Give up? How could this happen?" Joan was puzzled.

"Alas, not long ago, a vicious dragon suddenly appeared in the Growth Hill in the west. It drove away the nearby miners and plundered the wealth of the rich. All the warriors who fought against it were defeated..."

Sir Makarov sighed.

“And before long, a nursery rhyme spread throughout my territory.”

"What nursery rhyme?"

"The content of the nursery rhyme seems to be..."

At this time, the children's voices came from the street behind:
"One gem is missing, one dragon is lost;"

"If you lose a dragon, you lose a dragon group;"

"When a group of dragons is lost, a territory is lost."
