The city defense forces had blocked the city gates, but when they arrived at the gates, the scarred man swung the long sword in his hand and actually released sword energy visible to the naked eye. Ordinary soldiers were unable to resist the attack at all. Although they were not killed due to the protection of the armor on their bodies, they were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness. Seeing this scene, Eloline sighed. In this world where strength is respected, powerful people can even kill ordinary people in seconds. But they were unlucky enough to have offended a bounty dragon hunter. Once outside the city, things became much easier for Eloline, so she simply climbed up a tree, temporarily released her wings from her cloak, and began gliding through the air. "Elemental explosion." (Dragon language) Since she forgot to bring her staff, Eloline could only release all the magic powers of various attributes in her body and detonate them to achieve the effect. Then suddenly a colorful explosion of magic elements occurred in front of the criminals. Their horses were frightened and stopped. "Stop and hand over your stuff."
Elorin landed in front of them. The scarred man was a little surprised to hear the girl's voice, but he showed a horrified expression when he saw her black wings: "Black wings... It's a succubus!" Eloline almost spit out what the hell is a succubus? Don’t think it’s a succubus just because it has black wings. She released her dragon power and slowly walked up to the gangsters. Except for the scar-faced man, everyone else knelt on the ground uncontrollably. Scarface knew that he couldn't beat the man in front of him, but he would not hand over the items obediently. He looked at the bag containing various mechanical inventions, did something secretly, and then a blue light covered the bag. "Suppress." (Dragon) "This is impossible!" Scarface opened his eyes wide. The "succubus" in front of him simply said something he couldn't understand, and then the fixed-point teleportation magic that had just been set up on the bag became ineffective. Eloline picked up the bag with some satisfaction, and then asked, "Who are you? Why do you want to steal these things?" Since it was a planned robbery, it would not be something an ordinary robber would do on a whim. "Humph, don't ever want to know in this lifetime." After saying this, the scarred man fell to the ground. Eloline took a closer look and found that he was dead. His accomplices had already died on the ground. From the outside, there was nothing abnormal about them, but they had all stopped breathing. Eloline could no longer sense their vital signs. Walking back with the bag, Eloline felt like she was experiencing a spy drama and would rather commit suicide than reveal any information. But in fact, she just asked the criminal's motive out of curiosity, and it didn't matter whether she knew it or not. The reason for chasing these criminals is simply because they can get a generous reward.
Since the institution that was robbed was the Imperial College of Engineering, an official institution of the empire, there was no need to worry about any breach of promise or anything like that. Eloline returned to the place where the student was injured before and found that the student who was shot had been treated for his injuries. His wound was in the abdomen, but fortunately it was not fatal. A middle-aged man wearing a different style of uniform stood next to several students and seemed to be criticizing them. "This is the consequence of your laxity. I've told you so many times to prevent this from happening!" "I'm sorry, professor. We were wrong..." "Write me a self-criticism after you go back." "Yes……" When they finished talking, Eloline walked up with the bag. "I got this back for you." Several students looked at her in surprise. The middle-aged man came over, took the bag, opened it and took a look, then heaved a sigh of relief. "I'm Professor Pooley, and I'm here to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the Imperial College of Engineering." What the cloaked girl is doing is very important, because if these inventions are leaked, the empire’s technological advantage will no longer exist. It seems that these important things should not be left to students for safekeeping alone. "Is there any reward?" Eloline went straight to the point. Professor Puli was stunned for a moment, then he took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Eloline: "I'm sorry, we didn't bring much property with us when we went out. When the time comes, take this business card and come to the Imperial Engineering College to find me." They were just out to recruit students and didn't really have much money on them. Hearing that the reward could not be paid now, Eloline couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. It wasn't an empty promise or anything, but she didn't have the time to go to the Imperial College of Engineering. I should have ignored this troublesome matter and wasted my time. "Where is the Imperial School of Engineering?" "It's near this city. You can see the road sign after leaving the city. Just follow the main road and you'll get there. It's very close." "Oh? OK, I'll go when I have time." Since the School of Engineering is very close to here, Eloline can go and take a look. She also wanted to know what the technology tree of this world looked like. It felt like a mixture of magic and technology. "Thank you again, what is your name?" "Elorin." After saying her name, Eloline didn't stay too long and returned to the hotel with the business card given by Professor Puli.
Licaro had gotten up early and was waiting for Eloline to come back. "Where have you been and what took you so long?" “Something happened.” Eloline told Likalo what she had just experienced, and then took out her business card to show her. "Pulley? This professor is quite famous." "do you know him?" "I've heard of him. He's said to be a genius who has created many inventions." "Then let's go to the academy. He promised me that I would receive a very generous reward." "it is good." Anyway, they are just traveling now, so it doesn't matter where they go. "Oh, I thought of something." Licaro reached out and pulled up Eloline's hood, leaving her entire head exposed. Eloline has a pair of dragon horns on her head, which is what distinguishes her from humans. Licaro measured her dragon horn with her hand and began to think. "what happened?" "Why don't you show your face like me from now on." "No, my horn..." "I've thought of an idea." Likalo pointed to the staff on the table, "You can pretend to be a magician." "What do you mean?" Eloline thought of the wizard's attire. If she wore a wide wizard hat, her dragon horns could be hidden in the hat. This is a really good idea, why didn’t I think of it before? If she could show her face in public, it would be convenient for Eloline to do many things. Image: "Like this~", Location: "Images/" Chapter 2 - Disaster 041 Rainfall (Additional Update) Licaro did what she said and bought a wizard's hat from a clothing store in the city for Eloline to wear. “That’s perfect.” Licaro felt quite satisfied. From now on, Eloline's face could be shown anytime and anywhere. Then, when they walk together in the future, if someone asks her, she can answer, "Look, this lovely girl is my lover."
It feels wonderful just thinking about it. "Lin, let's go!" Ever since Eloline showed up, Licaro had become more interested and ready to continue the journey with her. Now Licaro is no longer opposed to having intimate actions with Eloline in front of others. Compared with her previous shyness, she now feels more like showing off. To Eloline, it was like a child finding a treasure. But on the other hand, Likalo is actually her baby. They were very close to each other, holding hands intimately, and walking on the road together. We are content just being around each other, and I really hope it can last forever. It started to drizzle, making the air a little cooler. Although I didn't bring any rain gear, this level of rain... It's okay to get a little wet. Licaro grabbed the straps of her backpack with both hands and walked backwards. Fortunately, the road was clean and tidy, without any stones or the like. When she was with Eloline, she seemed to have endless things to say, just like when they were little. The knot in her heart has been completely untied, and all this would not have been possible without Eloline. "Lin, look over there!" Licaro pointed to a bush in the distance, where many small flowers were growing vigorously. After this rain, they will probably grow faster. "Do you remember that?" "Ah." The memories of tickling and playing with each other in the sea of flowers are something that Eloline will never forget. During that fight, she successfully made Likalo laugh again. And now the lively blonde girl in front of her was exactly what Eloline had always wanted to see. After all these years, Likalo hasn't changed at all. Her personality was already determined when she was still playing with the little black dragon in the Edfallon Forest. Setbacks can indeed change her character, but warmth can also change her back. The signpost tells you to go north to the Imperial Engineering College, and north is closer to Ed Fallon. Why not go back to Ed Fallon after getting your reward? Licaro hasn't seen her parents for more than a year and she really should go back to visit them. And Surana was still in the forest, and Eloline had promised to go back and play with her.
"Yes, I miss home too." Licaro agreed with Eloline's idea. "Uh-huh." (Home?) Eloline envied Licaro because she had family in this world. But as an outsider, Eloline has never lived in one place for a long time. She has no home at all.
