Chapter 72: The Hero Is Bad!
“…Huh?”
Having just stuffed a burger in his mouth, Xia Li’s words made Lucia pause for a moment.
A piece of lettuce from the corner of her mouth was about to fall, Lucia slurped it back up, rolling the leaf back in with her little tongue.
“Go back?” Lucia asked, puzzled.
Xia Li nodded: “Yes, send you back to Azure Continent.”
After organizing his thoughts for a bit, Xia Li told Lucia about the things he had thought of at the grilled fish restaurant.
“The sealing magic inside the Demon Repelling Sword has always been active, which proves that it has a certain ability to store magic power. If we can utilize this magic power, even a little bit…
As long as we can send any kind of signal magic to Azure Continent, someone will find us.
Even if it’s just to retrieve the Demon Repelling Sword, or to tie me up and make me work for another three years, they would definitely be willing to expend resources again to summon me over.” As Xia Li spoke earnestly, Lucia had already stopped her chopsticks, listening to him in a daze.
“At that time, I can push you into the summoning circle, or I can find a way to bring back more resources after I get there, and then open a plane teleportation magic on Earth to send you back.
In short, no matter what method we use, as long as we can establish communication with the humans there, I have a hundred percent certainty that I can send you home.”
Xia Li’s plan was interlocked and well-organized.
Listening to his serious analysis, Lucia fell completely silent.
Poking at the remaining rice in her bowl with her chopsticks, looking at the last two grains of rice inside, Lucia ate one of them with a somewhat lonely expression, thought about it, and then spat it out, using her chopsticks to put the two grains of rice back together.
The living room was quiet for a moment, the white moth that couldn’t find its way was circling the warm yellow incandescent light, its huge shadow cast over the faces of the two.
Lucia finally licked the two grains of rice directly from her bowl.
Taking a sip of her now cold orange juice, the expression on Lucia’s face was sullen, as if she was thinking about something.
After going back…
Xia Li would be the Hero, and she would be the Silver Dragon Queen spoken of by humans.
In the human world, the Hero and the Dragon race were natural enemies, they would fight again, just like countless times before, with the determination to kill each other even if it meant sacrificing their own lives.
The Hero had his mission, he was the hero standing in the midst of disaster, behind him were thousands of expectant humans.
And the giant dragons, they would use their scales and claws, blood and flesh, to pursue the survival and freedom they had defended all their lives.
“If we meet again on Azure Continent in the future… will you draw your sword?”
Lucia took a breath, feeling a sense of sadness inexplicably as she said this.
Xia Li leaned back in his chair, looking at Lucia’s complicated expression, his mood inexplicably heavy.
“First of all,”
“I won’t go back there.”
Xia Li said solemnly, “If the summoning magic there can only bring me over, then after I get there, I will immediately start collecting resources and come back as soon as possible.
It will be difficult to find a way back, but you don’t have to worry.”
Xia Li spoke quickly, Lucia opposite him sat upright, seemingly listening very seriously.
“Three years there, seven days on Earth.”
“You’ll be here for at most a month, and I’ll be back.”
“So, you don’t have to worry about the possibility of us meeting again on Azure Continent.”
As Xia Li finished speaking to himself, the expression on Lucia’s face became even more complicated, even a little pale.
Clearly Xia Li was thinking of ways for Lucia to go home, but her terrified look was as if Xia Li was not sending her home, but tying her up and taking her home.
“Three years… seven days…”
Lucia used her limited calculating ability, counting on her fingers.
Seven days for three years, then a month would be… twelve years!
That is to say, Xia Li would have to stay in that world he didn’t want to go to for twelve years.
And the purpose of doing all this was just to send her home.
◈◈◈
But, she wasn’t in a hurry to go back…
Besides, making a human hero spend more than ten years on Azure Continent just to let her, a Silver Dragon, return to her homeland, was it really necessary?
Had Xia Li really thought about it, this matter was meaningless to him?
He was a hero of humans, not a hero of the Dragon race…
Throwing her, a Silver Dragon known as a disaster, back, wouldn’t that be causing trouble for the humans on Azure Continent…
Why was Xia Li always thinking about doing bad things?
“However, this idea is simple to understand, but very troublesome to put into practice.”
Xia Li was completely immersed in his own thoughts, he analyzed rationally.
“First of all, it’s hard to judge how much magic power is actually in the Demon Repelling Sword.
Secondly, to use the magic power on the Demon Repelling Sword to transmit information to Azure Continent…
Without coordinate positioning, finding your homeland in this vast universe, perhaps even another parallel universe, might be harder than reaching for the sky.”
Xia Li leaned back in his chair, his brow furrowed.
He remembered that night, in the dim room, when Lucia tugged at the corner of his clothes and softly asked him, ‘Can I go back?’
Lucia looked very lonely at that time.
Like a little girl who had lost her way, lost in a sea of people.
At that time, Xia Li had thought that if there really was a way to let Lucia go back, he would be willing to act on it.
“Don’t worry,”
The road ahead was more difficult than imagined, Xia Li took a deep breath and said.
“At least there’s a clue now, I will definitely do my best to take you back to glug glug glug…”
Before he could finish speaking, the straw that was suddenly inserted into Xia Li’s mouth bubbled from the airflow of his speech.
Xia Li glanced at the orange juice cup that appeared by his mouth, then at Lucia, who had climbed onto the dining table at some point and was holding the cup to his mouth.
Xia Li: “?”
A question mark slowly appeared on Xia Li’s face.
Lucia pursed her lips, her cheeks puffed up like a pufferfish, visibly swelling at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Go back, go back, go back…
Every sentence Xia Li said was about going back!
She didn’t say she wanted to go back!
She hadn’t even figured out where her home was!
Xia Li: “???”
Xia Li was even more depressed now.
No.
He was so considerate of the silly dragon, but not only did the silly dragon not show any gratitude, she was angry here!
What are you angry about!
I’m the one who’s angry!
Taking a strong sip of orange juice, Lucia drained half the cup in one go, making a dry gurgling sound.
Lucia shook the cup in disbelief, and after discovering that Xia Li hadn’t left a single drop for her, her already pale face became even paler.
Bad, the Hero is bad!
“Going to sleep!”
Lucia retreated from the table, stepping into the ugly fish-mouth slippers Xia Li bought for her, and said in the harshest tone.
“I, I have to learn pinyin and arithmetic tomorrow!”
