135 Chapter 133 Dragons Are Friends Not Food (1/2)
”I guess my daggers are stronger, after getting the blood of a G.o.d on them,” mused Stella, checking out the black daggers. The blood that had been on them seemed to have soaked into them.
”It wasn't a full G.o.d, only a lesser G.o.d,” said Joseph, looking at the sleeping dragon.
”I'm glad to be out of that bubble. It was getting boring.”
”It was boring five minutes into the nine years,” said Joseph, rolling his eyes.
”Well, your dad will probably be wanting to talk to us, and I can only imagine what your mom will think. After that system announcement, everyone is going to wonder who we are. At least your mom doesn't have the system, so we don't have to worry about that.”
”I wonder if one of us had died, if NURKONG wouldn't have sworn vengeance on us.”
”Probably, he's an evil G.o.d. If one of us had died, he probably would have just declared it on the survivor.”
CURE MADNESS.
”That should deal with any issues the dragon had with the almost possession. I imagine it was having some pretty nasty nightmares. It seems that it is maintaining the balance of magic in this area. If it had fallen, or succ.u.mbed this whole area would have died, just like the wastelands have.”
Stella glanced over at the dragon curiously, ”That's amazing. What do you think a dragon would taste like?”
Joseph swung his head around to look at her. She laughed at the look on his face.
”Stella, dragons are friends, not food!”
”Alright, alright, I get it.”
Suddenly, one ma.s.sive eyelid opened and turned in their direction. They watched as the pupil tried to focus on them. It looked so tired and sleepy, they both wanted to yawn. Joseph could feel mana emanating from it. It must have two or three levels of mana enhancer, instead of the one he had.
(SHAVIST! AHHH! NOW YOU HAVE ME DOING IT! I ALMOST HAD EVERYTHING TABULATED, TOO!)
(BAHAMUT, THE G.o.d OF DRAGONS, HAS WATCHED YOU RENDER AID TO ONE OF HIS CHILDREN AND PROTECT IT FROM DEMONS, AN EVIL G.o.d, AND A BLOOD THIRSTY FEY.)
(YOU ARE AWARDED THE t.i.tLE: DRAGON FRIEND AND GIVEN BAHAMUT'S BLESSING.)
The dragon stared at them for a few moments, before apparently dismissing them.
”FOOD,” it spoke, and a giant chunk of meat appeared in front of it.
Joseph looked at the oversized meat, thinking it reminded him of something out of a cartoon. He couldn't imagine what kind of creature it could have come from.
It sat up heavily, as if still half asleep, and grabbed the meat. Sitting on its haunches, it half closed its eyes as it took a huge bite. Swallowing and licking its lips, it looked around the destroyed cave before taking another bite.
The overlap of mana enhancer, from both the dragon and Joseph, was causing the mana to become visible.
”I'm glad you made me full ancient fey,” said Stella, watching the mana mist swirl around itself. ”That would have killed me nine years ago.”
Licking his lips as he watched the dragon chow down, Joseph turned to Stella, ”Are you hungry?”
”I could eat something,” she said, having watched the dragon, too.
”FOOD,” he said, envisioning a drumstick covered in a sweet honey glaze and cooked to crispy perfection. He honestly wasn't sure what FOOD would have sent him, but the drumsticks that showed up were perfect. He wasn't sure what animal they came from, but the meat was so tender it all but melted in his mouth.
Stella took a bite of hers, and her eyes seemed to glow in delight, ”This is delicious!”
”Thanks, I think I should teach this recipe to Stu.”
The dragon began to speak, but it was in an ancient tongue that Joseph didn't understand.
GIFT OF TONGUES.
”-are you in my domain?” asked the dragon.
”An evil G.o.d was trying to possess you and a group of demon wors.h.i.+ppers was corrupting the mana in this place. We killed him and fixed it.” Joseph took a stab in the dark and hoped that he was correct in what the dragon was asking.
”Ah, thank you. My G.o.d says that I should give you a gift.”
