"It's okay, you guys can go now." Mok waved his hand to let several city defense soldiers leave. He felt that he really should have a good rest. This inexplicable headache was really annoying... PS: Beep beep~ Prologue 0 - That Winter 014 Witch Eloline was lying in the cave, she was very bored and was recalling the human words she had learned during the day. The area around the cave was very quiet, and the beasts in the forest avoided this place because of the dragon aura Eloline exuded. The wolf that ate the fruit never came back, and Eloline felt it was a pity. After all, that guy was quite interesting. Shashasha~~ There were footsteps outside the cave, getting closer and closer, and Eloline became alert. It's night now, and the person who came is definitely not Licaro. "Don't be afraid, little dragon."
A soft girl's voice came to her ears, and Eloline was stunned. She found that what she heard was human language, but she could understand it perfectly! A man appeared at the entrance of the cave. With the bright moonlight, Eloline could see the man's appearance clearly. This was a girl who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, with long brown hair. She wore a loose black robe similar to a magic robe, and her face was so delicate that even Eloline was fascinated by her. "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." The girl said as she walked towards Eloline. "Don't come any closer!" (Dragon language) Seeing Eloline so alert, the girl stood still and looked at Eloline's body with interest. Eloline was very surprised that the girl could understand the dragon language she spoke. "It was only with the help of magic that I was able to understand." The girl smiled at Eloline and sat down on the ground. Before Eloline could ask anything, she took the initiative to introduce herself: "My name is Xia Ya, and you are Xiao Longlong?" "Uh, Xiaolonglong..." Eloline thought about it and told her her name: "My name is Eloline." As for your last name, it is better not to tell others casually. "Hmm, that's a cute name, and she's a female dragon, right~" "Who are you?" Eloline asked. "Huh? I just told you my name." "No, I mean, you..." "Okay, okay, I know what you mean. I am actually a witch who lives in this forest." Xia replied. Witch?
This was the first time that Eloline heard the name, but she was not unfamiliar with it. Witches existed in many works on Earth, but the settings of each work were different. Moreover, she was in a different world now, so the information Eloline knew might not be useful. "I actually noticed you a long time ago, but relax, I won't hurt you." Eloline felt that this witch lady was a little unfathomable, so she asked, "What do you want from me?" "I just came to talk to you." "What to talk about?" "You did a great job not hurting that child." "Uh?" "The child named Likalo." With the help of "magic", Xia told her a lot of information in the human language that Eloline could understand. The reason why Licaro will not be attacked by wild beasts, but instead will make wild beasts feel good about her, is because Xia gave Licaro the "Protection of the Forest". With this protection, animals will feel affinity towards Licaro, so Licaro will not be attacked by wild beasts in the forest. As expected, Eloline confirmed that Licaro had special abilities. "So what is your relationship with Likalo?" In response to Eloline's question, Xia smiled and replied, "It's a secret." Then, Xia said, "Have you ever wondered why you haven't been discovered for so long?" Of course, Eloline had thought about this question and was indeed puzzled. The forest does not represent an absolute forbidden area. If there are humans living nearby, then some people will come to the forest to chop wood, hunt or do other things. It is impossible that no human except Licaro has appeared in front of Eloline until now. "Because I set up a barrier in the area where you were active, and at the same time cleared the memories of some people." "Why are you doing this for me?" "Not just for you, but for Licaro." "..." Eloline didn't understand. "Licaro needs friends, especially friends who will not abandon her and will be very powerful in the future." "Then why do you think I'm suitable to be her friend?" "My gut." Xia is speaking mysterious words again. "I don't understand why you are so nice to Licaro? Are you her friend too?" “No, no, no, I’m not…” Xia denied it and avoided the question: “I know you will leave here in the future, but I want you to spend more time with Licaro before you leave and try to give her more happy memories.” "Well……"
"You must agree to this. Consider it as a thank you for helping you hide your tracks!" Xia's tone was firm and tough, and there was no room for rebuttal. "This...Okay, I promise you." In fact, this is exactly what Eloline was doing, and Licaro's daily visits also filled Eloline's memories with laughter. "But how do you know I'm going to leave the forest in the future?" "Isn't it a matter of course? That you would want to live in this place forever?" "..." Xia was right. Eloline really didn't want to live here forever because she had things she wanted to do. This witch lady is really strange. Why is she so nice to Likalo? What is her relationship with Likalo? "By the way, can you teach me your magic of translating languages?" Eloline suddenly thought of something important. As long as she mastered the magic that Xia used, she wouldn't need to learn any language. "I'm sorry, but the magic I use won't be passed on to others." "Is there any other magic that can replace it?" "You should grow up first, little dragon. Do you still want to learn magic now?" "..." Eloline thought about it and asked something that was very concerning: "Can you help me translate a sentence?" "Oh? What?" "Just...what does "Little Black Dragon" mean?" Every time Licaro greeted Eloline, there was always a word that she didn't understand after the words. Now Eloline recalled Licaro's pronunciation and told Xia this word. "Ah, this one." Xia touched Eloline's dragon scales with her hand: "It means little black dragon, a very cute name." That's it! Ai Luolin finally understood what Lika Luo called her. However, compared with humans, even a newborn dragon is not small... "It's getting late. I should say goodbye to you." Xia suddenly said goodbye to Eloline. "Well, leaving now?" Eloline still has many things to ask. "Yeah." Xia nodded: "I'm going to leave the forest for a while." "Where are you going?" "Secret." "..."
After saying that, Xia turned around and walked out of the cave. However, she suddenly paused, turned around and said, "Oh, by the way, I almost forgot one thing." "what's up?" "Let this wolf cub stay with you for a few days." Xia reached into her robe and pulled out a white-furred wolf. When Eloline looked, she realized that this was the fruit wolf. PS: There is no need to worry about delaying this book, because I write a lot of words every day, and I have manuscripts saved (hands on hips). By the way, thank you all for your support~~~~ Chapter 0—That Winter 015 The Name of the Little Black Dragon The white wolf seemed to be in a bad mood. It looked a little reluctant, and its two front paws tightly hugged Xia's arms, as if it didn't want to part with Xia. "Is this wolf your pet?" asked Eloline. "Well, you can think of it that way, but now I'm entrusting it to you to take care of it for a while." Xia kissed the white wolf on the forehead. The latter howled reluctantly, then jumped to the ground and slowly walked to Eloline's side. Eloline said she had never had a pet, so how should she take care of this wolf? As if she saw Eloline's worry, Xia Ya smiled and said, "This child doesn't like to eat meat. You just need to feed it delicious fruits, but it will usually go out to find food by itself." "That's it...I understand." Due to physical reasons, it was impossible for Eloline to have a pet in her previous life. Now this white wolf is Eloline's first pet (?), and she will treat it seriously, but... “How long will I have to take care of it?” "Wait for me to come back. If I don't come back when you leave the forest, let it live in this cave. It can take care of itself." "Just leave it here when the time comes?" "Ah." Eloline promised Xia that raising a wolf would not be a problem for her. "Thank you, Xiaolong." Xia sincerely thanked Eloline, "Now I have nothing to worry about." "Where are you going?" Xia shook her head: "Sorry, I really can't tell you." "All right……" "Then I'm leaving. I wish you can grow up healthily." Xia turned around and said, "Goodbye, Eloline." "Ow~~~" The white wolf cried out, but Xia did not stop and soon disappeared from Eloline's sight. There was one thing that Eloline didn't understand. Why did the white wolf come to stay in her den for a day? Could it be that he came to improve their relationship in advance?
She looked at the somewhat depressed white wolf and said, "Please give me more guidance in the future, little wolf." (Dragon language) "Ow~" It responded weakly, and it didn't understand what Eloline said. With a companion by her side, Eloline felt less bored. The white wolf was very lost at first, probably because it was separated from its master, but then Eloline brought it some wild fruits when she went out hunting, and its affection for Eloline grew a lot. The fruits that Eloline picked were only found on very tall trees, and it was difficult to reach them without flying.
