20. Celes’s Potential
Although Reina had promised not to go out again, waiting for the dragon egg to be born… this was also for the development of the dragon whelp.
But on August 20th, Reina still took her family of three to the central plains, to the small town that was originally the empire’s border city, and also the place where Calysia and Reina had survived in the “hidden ending.”
Getting off Calysia’s dragon back, the little dragon on her shoulder bounced a little, her wings also spreading out. She stood firm on her shoulder and licked Reina’s face.
The moment Reina landed, the silver giant dragon transformed into a human and supported Reina.
Now, she had to be accompanied by someone at all times, otherwise even walking was a bit difficult.
This was one of the difficulties after getting pregnant with a dragon egg. If it were an ancient dragon, during the few months of pregnancy, they would usually store enough food in their territory or in a cave that could accommodate their huge bodies and have a “hibernation.”
However, with Calysia’s company, it was not impossible to go out, but it would be very tiring.
Just by walking, Reina could feel a little tired, and her belly hadn’t swollen to such an exaggerated size. Wearing a black silk dress, it would also seem less awkward… The only thing to be careful of was not to let the Dragon Mark on her belly flash!
Calysia held Reina’s waist with one hand and squeezed her wrist with the other, looking as if she were enjoying it.
She would occasionally touch her swollen belly and inject some vassal magic power to make Reina feel warm.
“In front of us is the city where we lived together. I thought it was the first time, but actually it was countless times.”
“Yes, Reina doesn’t have to worry about me. I’ve spent a time there that I’ll never forget in my life. I guess this is fate… Of course, I really hope you can remember.”
“What a commemorative city, but…”
Reina sighed, picked up a small blade of grass, and threw it down.
They were on a large grassland, and before them was a bare wasteland.
Under the dark night, several mountain ranges rose and fell. Behind them, a waterfall rolled down a cliff and flowed into the eastern river.
“Then what’s the situation now?”
Yes, there was no small town as she had imagined.
“After being destroyed by magic, it was probably reclaimed by the God Slaying Society. After all, building houses also requires materials…” Calysia said. “Because there were too many reincarnations, I didn’t pay attention. I didn’t expect that… I’m sorry.”
“In other words, the commemorative city has now officially disappeared… Little Cal, don’t mind. Although the city is gone, you still have me~”
“Yes, hehe~”
“It’s gone!” Celes opened her mouth wide. She had also learned these “obscure” words this time.
The few of them had no choice but to take a walk on the bare ground.
Half an hour later, a portal brought some familiar figures.
It was the blood race.
The leader was a tall blood race woman, Sophia.
She wore a black shirt and a half-white pleated skirt, a casual outfit.
Her long silver hair was tied into a ponytail, refreshing and charming.
“Good afternoon, Dragon King, little sister Reina.”
“Long time no see, Sophia.”
“Mmph, your belly… I really don’t know whether to congratulate you or to bless you. May I ask, is this the Princess Celes you mentioned in your letter?”
“Princess Celes!” Celes opened her mouth after hearing this, looking very happy.
Sophia and Reina’s habit of writing letters was still there.
Although they hadn’t met, Reina could still understand her situation.
However,
What surprised her a little was that Sophia hadn’t turned into a dragon.
Yes.
Ever since her soul was repaired, she and Mura should have gradually changed their race and become dragons, but she hadn’t been affected.
Mura, in the election, had thought of Reina and regarded her as her faith, maintaining absolute worship, and thus, would gradually transform into a dragon.
Sophia also trusted Reina.
But she didn’t truly, unreservedly, have faith and worship for Reina.
“Little sister Reina, are you planning to build a school here? This is indeed a good place… The blood race’s engineers should be able to build a school the size of a city in a few years.”
“You’ve worked hard, Sophia.”
“Not at all.”
Sophia said with an apologetic smile, “Rather, our blood race is counting on this school. If it can promote peace between the races, our blood race will also have more opportunities. Rather, is this really okay? This means that orcs, blood race, half-orcs, and dragons will all go to the same school?”
“School?” Celes was suddenly interested. She had heard this word in storybooks before. It seemed that the young of many races would go to school, but she didn’t know what it was like.
“Mm-hmm, does little Celes want to go to school?”
“No.”
Celes shook her head.
“I want to drink milk.”
Reina didn’t know what to say and, pretending not to be embarrassed, said to Sophia:
“Don’t worry.”
It’s not reassuring at all. Anyway, just leave this matter to me.
“Oh, right.”
Reina suddenly remembered something and said, “Sophia, can you build a villa in a week, right here? It’s very close to Whitesburg.”
“I think… it’s nothing… but little sister Reina, why are you in such a hurry?”
“I want to use this place as a venue for a ‘fan meeting’.”
Looking at the barren ground again, Sophia nodded:
“I understand, Teacher Bud.”
Two hours later, a line of carriages drove along the mountain path and stopped on the open field. A few engineers flew down from the leading carriage. They were dressed like gentlemen, in uniforms, as if they weren’t afraid of getting their clothes dirty. Seeing her plan proceeding steadily, Reina praised Sophia again.
On the way home, Reina gave Calysia a look, and the latter understood.
The two stopped, and Reina picked up Celes. Her body blocked Calysia’s hand, creating a blind spot. And the latter just poked her head out, her hands reaching behind Reina, opened her “storage space,” and took something out.
“Celes, there’s a colorless and odorless thing in Mother Calysia’s hand now. Do you know what it is?”
If she asked an ordinary person this question, they would just say, “How can I see if you’re blocking me?” But Reina knew very well that Celes was no ordinary being.
Celes closed her eyes, flapped her wings, and a few seconds later, opened her mouth and let out a delicate and cute sound: “A dragon nest!”
Reina was startled.
Calysia showed her hand, and sure enough, it was a colorful little dragon nest.
“Celes, how did you see it?”
“Doesn’t Mommy know?”
Reina shook her head.
If she had carefully sensed, or smelled the scent, or used the Eye of Light to analyze, Reina wouldn’t have known what Calysia had taken out at all.
Little Cal hadn’t “spoiled” it for Reina, and had just casually taken out an item.
This was probably Celes’s [authority].
Could it also be the Eye of Light?
No…
It should be even more potential than the so-called Eye of Light.
