Alien world

Chapter 1246 Chapter 168. A Night in the Cave

Joan's face was full of disappointment.

Such an elegant, beautiful, and powerful blue dragon is actually a female dragon...

No, who does it say it is, Elimois?

"Aren't you in Liberty City? How come you are in Broken Mountains!" Joan exclaimed.

“…I have nothing to do with that place anymore.”

Joan's curiosity exploded instantly, and she imagined a story in her mind: "The beautiful blue dragon was deceived by the unfaithful Annan, and hid in the mountains to lick her wounds silently."

Then she thought of the stories she had heard from the bards, about how the beautiful countess was harmed by the prince and turned into a dark countess, who slaughtered the prince's entire estate, not even sparing a dog...

"Actually, my relationship with Annan isn't that good," Joan said cautiously.

"I can tell."

Since she doesn't even recognize herself, she probably isn't a core member of that person's group.

This time Joan was a little angry again. When she met Annan, he was still a small lord in Xingyue Bay!

But soon, she was glad that she had distanced herself from the matter - the tone of the "evil dragon" Elimoyas suddenly became grim, and that tingling feeling reappeared.

"You were sent by Annan to find me!?"

"No! I'm just here to do business! Did you see those people who left me and ran away? They put me under house arrest. I escaped and was almost caught by them again. You saved me!"

Joan thought of the piles of bones she saw outside the cave. The Ilimayas before her was a genuine "evil dragon", no longer the mascot-like blue dragon in Liberty City...

Ilimoyas curled her lips and said in a low voice: "If you dare to tell others that I am here, I will crush your bones and turn your flesh and blood into disordered minced meat..."

"You are my benefactor, and I will never tell anyone that you are here!" Joan promised loudly.

Elimoas crawled her head back up.

Joan blinked, realizing that Elimois was going to let her go.

Thinking back on what happened tonight...it was almost more exciting than her entire life!
Although she has only lived for eighteen years...

Joan wanted to say goodbye, but found that Elimois ignored her. She swallowed the goodbye in her mouth and walked out quietly.

As soon as she reached the cave entrance, the surging dragon power pinned her to the spot.

"Where are you going?"

Joan turned back stiffly: "Aren't you going to let me go...?"

"I just won't kill you. I'll let you go, and you'll go back and report."

"I won't, I promise to stand by you!"

"Oh?" Elimoas looked at Joan: "Will you betray that person?"

He doesn't even want to mention my name, is it really because of a broken heart?

Joan was more confident: "Annan and I are just employers and employees, but you are my savior!"

Elimoas remained silent and seemed to be thinking.

Joan said tentatively: "If I'm here, they will definitely come looking for me, and then I won't be able to hide it for you, and I have to go back to get the money for you..."

The enveloping dragon might was suddenly withdrawn.

"You go back." said Elimois.

Joan was touched but also worried that it was a trap set by Elimois: "You are not afraid of me..."

"Do you know?"

"No!" Joan assured loudly.

Elimoas watched Joan walk out of the cave, and soon she came back. "It's too late, I can't find the way back..." Joan said awkwardly.

Moreover, she was only wearing a noble long skirt. Even if she was a warrior, she would have problems with freezing in the mountains at night...

"Can I stay here for a night?"

Elimois shook her head slightly, tacitly allowing Joan to stay here.

Joan hid behind a rock in the corner where the wind could not reach. After looking around, her gaze fell back on Ilimayas, from the azure dragon horns, across the dense scales on the neck, and paused at the crystal dragon scales.

The burning look in his eyes made Ilimayas feel a little uncomfortable...

"What are you looking at."

Joan came back to her senses and put away her blatant fascination: "Uh... I was thinking, since you are so amazing, you must have had a magnificent past... Longsheng, right?"

Elimoas couldn't help but recall...it seemed that there was no magnificent story.

When she was growing up in the tribe, she would either bully the dragons or other dragons would bully her. When she was a little older and stopped fighting, her parents would bully her and steal the treasures from the nest when she was away, so she left the tribe before she reached adulthood and ran to the North.

Because there was a blue dragon, it meant there were a group of blue dragons nearby, so there were no blind mercenaries looking for trouble with Ilimoyas. She successfully became an adult, and then met that person in the haunted gold mine... Everything around her suddenly changed.

Joan took Elimoas's memories as a tacit agreement and said dejectedly, "Unlike me, it seems that nothing I do can help me. I have to work hard to catch up with An...that person."

"...I've never heard of you. But you're impressive to be here on your own."

Elimoas felt that she was abnormal for comforting a human being.

"Because I want to prove myself useful!"

Joan talked about her miserable childhood, and Elimois became the audience, listening quietly.

She was sold by her parents when she was young, bought by a gang as a pet, and released by an old gatekeeper who couldn't bear it. She lived with the old man and after the old man died, she used the inheritance to start a business...

Joan fell into a deep sleep, curled up, exhausted. Her tattered, dusty skirt made her look like a withered flower.

Ilimoyas said something in Dragon Language, and soon the gnoll came in with a pile of red-hot coals. When he was about to put it under Joan, Ilimoyas scolded him and put it aside.

Joan, who was curled up, felt the warmth and gradually stretched out her body.

Elimoas ignored her and closed her eyes to take a rest.

The next morning, Joan woke up and saw gray coal ash in front of her.

She thanked Elimois joyfully.

"It's time for you to go."

Elimoas began to drive people away.

Joan was a little reluctant, but she still said firmly: "I will fulfill my promise."

Elimoas wagged her tail in response. Joan said goodbye to her and walked out.

As I walked out of the cave, the warm morning sunshine sprinkled on my body, making me feel like I was reborn.

Joan raised her hand to cover her forehead, squinting her eyes and looking into the distance.

……

Sir Makarov sent out everyone he could, but there was still no news from Miss Montreal.

He already knew the whereabouts of his personal guards, and the Wanderer would not tolerate any more flesh from the Broken Mountains...but what about Miss Montreal?
Killian didn't have the guts to hurt her, and Sir Makarov knew that. But he also knew what happened in Killian's territory last night.

It can’t be related to Miss Montreal, right?

Sir Makarov cursed. If the bloodline of the Golden Family died in the Broken Mountains... they would all be in trouble!

At this moment, the guard rushed into the study and shouted in surprise: "Master, Miss Montreal is back!"
