Soul of Burning Steel

"Huh."

Just as Joshua was communicating with the humanoid dragon named Fina, Loranda who was sitting next to her suddenly exclaimed: "There is good news."

The warrior and the female dragon looked at each other, and then turned their heads to look at the paladin. Lolanda naturally knew what to do now, and he showed everyone the curtain of holy light suspended in front of him.

The Holy Mountain, the headquarters of the Church of the Seven Gods, has its own set of special methods to communicate with many priests, and the Holy Light light curtain technology that uses the connection between the Holy Lights to transmit information is very mature. The core executives, the information he receives is always very timely.

[The Duke of Nanling led two hundred family knights on the central defense line to repel the leader of the mad dragon "Aurora Dragon" Magina, forcing him to flee in panic]

[The Legion of the Third Kingdom repelled the iron pterosaur swarms on the eastern coast and around the Mente Islands, and regained the harbor of Arnold]

[His Excellency Keith of the Kerklav family led the Blood Mist Legion to clear away the dragon and beast obstacles between the fortresses of the Naka Mountains and the headquarters of the Far South Kingdom Army, and opened up the lifeline in the southwestern part of the kingdom]

The following information is similar to it. The Far South Kingdom suddenly won a series of great victories, while the Kuanglong retreated steadily, and the tense situation reversed instantly.

"It seems that the five-color dragon clan is indeed shrinking its troops."

Joshua took a rough look and found this sign: "They are about to launch a general attack on the holy mountain. The Far South Kingdom is no longer the main invasion target, so the strong have no intention of fighting, and the bottom-level mad dragons lose their command. Otherwise, these people will definitely It’s not that easy to complete the task.”

Maybe they are still wondering why the enemy was defeated so easily.

On the other hand, Fina doesn't seem to recognize human characters—of course, it's more likely that the Holy Mountain is accustomed to using elegant and complicated cursive characters, so the female dragon who is only fluent in Common Language can't understand at all, so she can only let Hill Retell it to yourself bit by bit.

After hearing Joshua's conclusion, Fina also lost interest in the dense information above, she simply stood up, and then extended an invitation to Joshua: "How, are you still interested?"

Fina's tone was direct, but with a hint of kindness. It was obvious that she came to the rest cabin on purpose, which was to attract the topic of humanized magic.

"Of course." Joshua also stood up. He drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, then wiped his mouth and said, "But I'm more interested in what to do next."

"Leave that kind of thing to me." Signaling Joshua to follow her, Fina smiled and took Hill's hand, and then left the rest cabin vigorously. As she walked, she said, "Hei is waiting for us." .”

Seeing the helplessness on the elf boy's face, as if he was being dragged out, Joshua shrugged, and then greeted Lolanda who was still drinking juice: "Then I'll take a step first."

"Let's go, let's go, I'd like to have the rest cabin all by myself." He waved his hand indifferently, and the paladin looked indifferent: "It just so happens that I care about the current situation."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to fiddle with the holy light curtain in front of him, paying attention to the battle reports around the Far South and the holy mountain.

The soldier immediately followed in the footsteps of Fei Na and the others, and walked towards the other side of the cabin.

"It seems that Hei communicated with Ms. Fina for a while when I went to kill the Sea Abyss Demon Dragon."

During the walk, Joshua casually guessed, "These two seem to hit it off, otherwise Fina wouldn't have pointed out her thoughts so directly as soon as she saw me, and then extended an invitation to me so directly. .”

It seems that this matter is also Black's wish.

The dragon's body is indeed a battle machine that has been tempered and tested, it can be said to be perfect in a certain sense, but for Hei, who can only stay in the Nissier Snow Mountain Lake, that huge body can only make him feel bored and bored , and there is no one of the same kind around it, which makes it feel lonely even more.

Perhaps, just like No. 3, Hei also wants to have a human body so that he can live with everyone.

The pace of the people was very fast, and after a few minutes, they came to a cabin at the bottom of the ship.

This cabin is very wide enough to accommodate a giant dragon. There is no doubt that space spells were used to expand the space here.

On one side of the cabin, there is a valve leading to the outside world, which seems to facilitate the entry and exit of something, and on the other side are some huge fragments of armor and equipment. Joshua can recognize that these things in front of him are for What the dragon uses, and only the body of the dragon can be equipped with armor pieces that are as tall as several people.

And in a corner of the compartment, Hei Zheng was lazily lying on the ground in a magic circle, as if he was resting. It was indeed easy for him to fight with the sea beast before, but at least he had contributed his strength, with all his strength. He released the dragon's breath several times, so when Joshua and Lolanda went to rest in the rest cabin, he also asked the crew of Time to take Hei to take a rest, which seemed to be here.

The runes in the magic circle flickered, activating the surrounding fire elements, creating an environment most suitable for Hei. There is no doubt that the half-dragon is very comfortable now, almost falling asleep.

But after Feina opened the door, Hei immediately opened his eyes and raised his head to look at the door vigilantly. He got up and trotted all the way to the side of the soldier.

"To disturb your rest." Joshua patted his dark head with a smile, suddenly frowned again, stared at the other party's golden dragon eyes and reprimanded in a low voice: "Okay, don't lick my hand, you have to get rid of this bad habit."

Stopped by his master's serious tone, Banlong looked a little unhappy and retracted his barbed tongue, while Fina at the side also shook her head and said: "Hei just wants to express his intimacy, There's no need to be so serious."

"Honestly, I don't really care."

After vigorously rubbing the smooth scales on the top of the black head, Joshua replied in a calm tone: "But ordinary people can't bear its closeness... the lick just now, even a stone will be scraped off a layer, the ordinary The steel armor will be broken, that is, I can bear it."

At this time, the overall shape of Hei is closer to the traditional winged dragon, but the wings on both sides of its body are extremely thick. It is not so much for flying as for maintaining the center of gravity in the water. The two wings on its head The branch horns have also become more slender, and at the same time they are extremely sharp, at least if you are not careful, you can pierce the wall of the lord's mansion - if it weren't for this, Joshua would not have sent it to Nissie Snow Mountain Lake Thanks to Hei, the wall in the backyard of the Lord's Mansion has been rebuilt seven or eight times.

The whole body of the dragon is full of weapons and armor. This is by no means a lie, not only the scales, sharp claws, wings and sharp horns, but also the tongue with barbs, which is comparable to a scraper. The tail of the half-dragon actually has With terrifying power, as long as Hei is willing, it can open the scales and bone spurs on its tail at any time, turning its smooth long tail into a long whip full of blades and barbs, whipping and tearing the enemy wantonly.

"I can see that you are very dissatisfied that you cannot live with us because of your huge size."

Joshua bent down slightly, stroked the half-dragon's neck, and said to Hei in an unusually gentle tone: "As your master, I will not suppress your thoughts, on the contrary, I will fulfill your wishes... Hei, say Well, do you want to take human form?"

Warrior is also a straightforward person, he asked Banlong directly without any tact.

After Hei Zai was stunned for a moment, he turned his head and glanced at the blue-haired lady on the side.

Fina smiled and nodded to it, and Hei seemed to have made up his mind because of this. It showed a grateful look to the blue-haired lady, and then nodded seriously to Joshua.

"That's good."

Straightening up, Joshua turned his head, and calmly said to the blue-haired humanoid female dragon: "Ms. Feina, you must have chatted with Hei for a while before this, and you seem to hit it off, otherwise it wouldn't be so Clearly wanting to make it happen."

Having said that, his tone became serious: "Are you willing to help us?"

"Of course, I, Fina, am a helpful dragon." When she said this, the blue-haired woman whose prototype was a sea stegosaurus looked at Hill who had been silent by her side, and her tone became gentle: "Otherwise , I will never meet my lovely little Hill again."

"I am an ocean druid. When I meet a sea dragon that is so stupid that it is seriously injured and stranded on the beach, I will naturally help it!" With a soft snort, the elf boy straightened his long black hair and complained: "The result You almost ate the transformed me when you woke up."

"I apologize..."

"After apologizing, you just stayed at my house like this—if it wasn't for filling your stomach, why would I accept the invitation from the Holy Mountain to explore the sea in such a dangerous place!"

While the two were arguing, the situation became clear.

When Joshua went to kill the Sea Abyss Demon Dragon, the two giant dragons Hei and Fina jointly killed many eroding sea beasts. After the battle, they chatted for a while, and the half dragon unintentionally expressed their disapproval. The distress of his usual huge body.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the heart. As Fina herself said, she is indeed an enthusiastic dragon. She was even involved in some things because she was too enthusiastic in the past, and she was seriously injured and stranded on the beach.

Although she looked a little indifferent, it was just the appearance, so after returning to the interior of the Time, Fina directly found the rest cabin where Joshua was, and was going to ask about it to hear Master Hei's opinion.

Coincidentally, the soldier was also discussing related issues with the elf boy. Since both parties have this idea, things are much simpler.

"Even for giant dragons, humanization magic is an extremely complicated kind of magic. The first time you cast a spell, you will definitely need the assistance of others."

Taking a step forward, Fina walked up to Hei's body, and hugged Hei's neck very intimately. She explained to Joshua who was at the side: "My transformation is my father, with a blue sea head. Long taught it, and Hei's first transformation definitely needs my assistance."

"It's okay, I don't understand this aspect, you can do whatever you want."

Taking a step back, Joshua was indeed not proficient in this area of ​​knowledge. He let the blue-haired lady and Hei whisper some matters related to transformation and preparations, and planned to stay in place like this, waiting for the half-dragon The transformation is complete.

While waiting, he glanced sideways at Hill who was still arranging his ponytail, his eyes moved slightly, as if he saw something.

Then, the warrior asked the young elf curiously: "Speaking of which, Mr. Hill, all druids will transform, and most of the forest druids on land are transformed into deer, eagles, wolves, and bears." Humanoid creatures, Ocean Druids are all kinds of fish and marine monsters... So, what is your transformation?"

"...don't ask that question!"

After hearing the soldier's question, Hill, who was arranging his ponytail, froze his hands, and his face became stiff, but soon, he became a little annoyed and self-defeating: "Anyway, you will find out in a few days! Don't ask now this problem!"

He seemed to be very taboo about this issue, and he seemed very unwilling to talk about it with others, but Joshua thoughtfully looked at the tattoo pattern revealed on the other party's collarbone, and had a guess in his mind.

No wonder... He was in the transformation state, and was almost eaten by Fei Na.

On the side, the blue-haired female dragon and Hei were also ready.

Fina bit her own finger, and the cyan blood gushed out from the wound with a trace of electric arc flashing. She simply and neatly used her blood to draw more than a dozen complicated patterns on the black scales and carapace. Many of the runes were original spells that Joshua had never seen before. The warrior could only see that these runes involved the mutual transformation of matter and soul, and even had a slight connection with subspace.

These runes are connected with each other, and then emit a little bit of cyan light, forming a smooth pattern covering the half-dragon's body, like a circuit board, and the black is also unusually coordinated to provide it with magic power.

"It's about to start."

Standing in front of the half-dragon, pressing her white palm on the top of Hei's head, Fina's cold voice echoed in the cabin, she seemed to be reminding Hei, and she seemed to be telling Joshua that the precondition of humanization magic is Preparations are complete.

"Roar!"

With a deep growl, Hei nodded solemnly, indicating that he was ready.

Then, Fina withdrew her hand, and suddenly, a burst of dazzling cyan light filled the cabin.

Accompanied by the beating of the dazzling electric arc, the runes drawn on Hei's body, originally inspired by Fina's blood, squirmed as if they were alive. The information in the dragon's blood is constructed, changing the body of the half-dragon bit by bit.

A gust of scorching hot wind overflowed from the half-dragon's body, the power of the fire element was boiling, and the cyan light surrounding Hei's body was dyed violet because of this, and in this light, accompanied by Huge fluctuations of magic power and weak fluctuations of time and space souls, the shape-changing pendant hanging on the half-dragon's chest was completely shattered, but its size did not increase, but shrunk little by little, becoming a shape similar to The size of a human girl.

At this moment, the cyan runes turned into smooth tattoos, covering the black body surface, and its appearance was also changing rapidly—it became a human form.

The black dragon head and the scaled carapace on it dissipated in the light of magic power, turning into a beautiful girl's head, the long black hair like silk fluttered in the magic power, followed by the snow-white neck and collarbone, The seemingly weak shoulders are gradually showing.

At the beginning, Joshua watched this scene with great interest, but when Hei's body gradually turned into a ketone body of a heroic human girl, his expression suddenly changed, and then he walked quickly to the other side, stretched out of their own hands.

At this time, the girl's body has been completely transformed, only the horns on the top of the head and the long tail have not completed the transformation. Her eyes are closed tightly, as if she is sleeping. crystallization.

Regarding Joshua's move, Fina next to him had no time to stop him, the soldier saw through the flow of all the magic power around him at a glance, his hand passed through the gaps between the magic power runes, and then pressed it on Hei's forehead like this, At the same time, he let out a deep reprimand: "Stupid, put on my clothes!"

The eyelashes of the girl incarnated by Hei trembled slightly, and then opened her eyes in confusion. Her golden eyes still had the vertical pupils unique to giant dragons, and the eyes were misty, as if she was still in a half-dream and half-awake state.

Of course, when Hei noticed the big warm hand on her forehead, she reacted quickly.

Immediately, the turbulent magic power changed slightly, and the smooth cyan lines covering the girl's body quickly faded away, and then layers of black armor appeared out of thin air along the place where the original tattoo was, covering her body.

Fina, who originally planned to stop her, looked at this scene, and slowly withdrew her hand. She sighed and said, "Scared me... the first humanization is almost over, next time you hack her, you should be able to change Body, the speed will also become faster."

"Thank you, Ms. Fina."

Also withdrew his hand, Joshua looked at the black-haired girl in front of him who seemed to be at a loss, and showed a faint smile: "It's really hard for you, Black."

At this time, the girl transformed by Hei is not so beautiful and cute as she is heroic. Her upper body is wearing a dragon scale light armor. The lower body is a black battle dress, and her waist-length hair is as black as ink, shaking slightly with the wind of magic power, and the golden cold light of a predator is revealed from time to time in her slightly squinted eyes.

On both sides of the girl's head, the two slightly curved dragon horns still remain the original form, and in the center of the battle armor on her chest, a golden spar can be seen shining.

"It seems that Biying is more like Rin's older sister... Of course, Rin is older than Kuro."

He secretly commented on the appearance of a black man, Joshua touched his chin, recalled the young butler with black hair and golden eyes, and muttered softly: "The accident is not bad, is it the effect of humanization magic, or is it black in the dragon?" Is it really beautiful inside?"

To this point, Fina can answer: it has both, anyway, Hei inherits the blood of the ancient dragon. ?

After Hei turned into a human form, she stood in a daze for a while before slowly waking up. After waking up, she blinked, looked at her hands happily, and then raised her head to look in front of her. Joshua.

Banlong... At this time, she should be called a girl. She let out a soft cry, and was about to pounce on her master as usual, and then greeted her master vigorously, but at the moment she stretched her legs——

Just hearing a snap, the girl fell flat on the ground like this.
