Chapter 500
Leon chased him all this way, wasn't it all to get rid of the Shadow?
Therefore, the offer Adam made was very tempting to Leon.
Unfortunately...
"You haven't figured out one thing yet, Adam."
The sound of birdsong suddenly rang out, accompanied by the scorching heat coming from the side, and Adam felt a chill in his heart.
"The moment you injured my daughter, you were already a corpse."
68. Let me kiss Dragon girl one more time!
Noa felt herself being held by someone.
Is that Daddy?
No, that's not right.
This person had a faint fragrance about them.
Is it Mom?
That doesn't seem right either.
My Mom's arms are so soft.
But the person holding her right now, while not exactly hard, definitely didn't feel like she was in her Mom's arms.
Noa wanted to open her eyes to see who it was.
However, having exited the burst state of Primal Power, coupled with the overuse of the Gate of Nine Hells, her body was already exhausted.
He didn't even have the strength to open his eyes.
She could only let the other person carry her as they raced forward.
Fortunately, Noa did not sense the man's malice.
It's likely that the academy sent someone to rescue her.
In a blur, Noa heard the other person's voice.
"We can't just rush over there; it's full of Dragon Race."
It was a girl's voice.
He sounds very young.
"Okay, there's a cave ahead. Let's take them there."
The answer came from another young male voice.
"Can."
Noa struggled to think about what the girl had just said:
'That area is full of Dragon Race'?
Why did she use this tone and manner to refer to the Dragon Race?
In the face of the hammer-wielding monster, she seemed unwilling to let her own kind help her.
Or is it...?
This young man and woman are not—
Exhaustion struck again, instantly overwhelming Noa's mind.
She heard a ringing in her ears and then fell into a coma again.
When Noa regained some consciousness, her physical condition had improved.
She barely opened her eyes and found herself in a secluded stone cave.
A distant rumble of thunder and the Dragon Roar echoed.
After a brief moment of surprise, a relieved smile finally appeared on Noa's tired little face.
Daddy is here.
Although she didn't know why that man was there, he always seemed to be there for her when things were most dangerous; it had become his signature skill.
"Oh ho ho~~ Captain's Dragon girl is much cuter than in the photo~~ Poke her! Hehe~~ So soft~"
In a daze, Noa felt someone poke her face.
It was very light, and at the same time, it was accompanied by a kind of childish curiosity.
"So cute! Tap it again!"
You can poke me if you want, but why call me cute?
Noa tried to put up a symbolic resistance, but her body was too weak to muster any strength.
Even the ancient ancestors in my mind went silent.
It's probably true (not really).
So Noa could only let that slightly 'perverted' voice continue poking her face.
"Rebecca, be gentle, don't wake her up."
"How could that be? She's sleeping soundly. I even wanted to touch her tail!"
Noa:?
Oh no, it seems like they've been kidnapped by some weirdo.
Rather than being petted and pampered like a kitten, Noa would rather fight that Warhammer Dragon King for another three hundred rounds.
However, at this moment, she could only resign herself to fate.
A few seconds later, Noa felt a slight touch on the tip of her tail.
She clenched her small fists tightly, not daring to utter a sound.
Who knows where these two people come from? What if they start fighting after they wake up?
So... I guess I'll just have to put up with it if they touch my tail!
However, the feeling of being touched on the tail by a girl wasn't too unpleasant, and she and Muen Little Guang often played with each other's tails.
Moreover, the girl named Rebecca was very careful and didn't use much force, as if she was afraid of hurting her.
"Martin, I want to kiss her again. Her face is so soft, it must be so nice to kiss."
"Why don't you take her back and raise her for the captain?" Martin said helplessly.
"Hmph, I don't care, I'm going to kiss you."
Perhaps because the dragons she had seen were all the kind that would start fighting at the drop of a hat, and she had never seen such a soft, cute Dragon girl, Rebecca was absolutely smitten with Noa.
He touched this and that, and when he got excited, he even gave Noa a quick kiss on the cheek.
Juan Wang: Help! Where did this lunatic come from? Take her away right now!
"Alright, Rebecca, come with me to keep watch. I can't keep an eye on everything by myself."
Rebecca reluctantly let Noa go, then turned and ran to the cave entrance to join Martin in keeping watch. Noa was finally able to have some peace and quiet, and finally able to properly analyze what the girl had said.
She just mentioned 'the captain's Dragon girl '.
Does "captain" refer to my Dad...?
But Dad never mentioned that he had ever been a captain. Mom said he was a survivor of a disbanded tribe.
Moreover, judging from the girl's interest in her own tail and other Dragon Race features, she must have never been in such close contact with Dragon Race before.
Or rather, young Dragon Race.
That's why she was so curious about Noa.
Suddenly, Noa smelled a faint scent of gunpowder in the air.
It's very faint, not like the concentration of explosives, more like... a bullet?
Dragon Race never use firearms or similar weapons, and the balloon-popping game in Sky City was introduced from the entertainment culture of other tribes.
However, the academy taught that on the Samael Continent, there are some special races that, due to their own lack of strength, use various firearms and tools to supplement their combat power.
And if the smell of gunpowder could permeate one's entire body and even linger in the air, then one must have spent a long time with guns.
"Gunner..."
Noa remembered that her textbook had mentioned such a special profession.
Like the various branches of magic sorcerers, gunners are a branch derived from races skilled in using tools.
Of all these special races, only one has gunners included in the orthodox training system:
Human beings.
Combining this with what the girl had just mentioned about the 'Dragon Race ahead,' Noa had a vague idea of the answer.
So, if the 'captain' she mentioned really refers to her Dad, then that means—
Memories and details from the past are piecing together in Noa's mind like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.
The final result was exactly what she had already anticipated.
"Is that really true... Dad?"
"Hmm—"
In the pause of my thoughts, I heard Helena's soft, gentle moan beside me.
"Noa... where are we?"
"Ah, us—"
"There's some noise over there, Rebecca, we have to go."
"Who is it? Who are the people at the cave entrance?... Why aren't they here—ah!"
Before Helena could finish speaking, everything went black. She had only been awake for less than five seconds when she fainted again.
Noa gently supported her best friend's shoulders, letting her lean against her for support.
"I'm sorry, Helena, go back to sleep a little longer."
After saying that, Noa closed her eyes again.
"Wait, let me kiss Dragon girl one last time before I leave!"
"No, I really have to go."
Martin strode over and hoisted Rebecca onto his shoulder.
Rebecca tossed and turned her legs like a sardine unwilling to be caught in a net.
"Little Dragon Girl~~ I haven't kissed you enough yet! Remember to come find me when you grow up, I can be your godmother!"
The King of Roll's inner thoughts: Adults are indeed all very childish.
Not long after Rebecca and Martin left, Noa heard shouts coming from outside the cave.
"Teacher, I'm here! I just heard a noise over here!"
It's Christina's voice.
Before Noah and Noa arrived at the inner circle of the Nightmare Moon Forest, Helena discovered traces of a dangerous species and shared this clue with Christina.
"Noa! Helena! Where are you?"
Helena!
"Noa-chan!"
"..."
The teachers and students were shouting outside.
A moment later, someone shouted joyfully,
