While sleeping, the sound of drums came from far away, waking up the young Sylutia.

She rubbed her eyes and sat up from her little bed. When she heard the bustle outside, she put on her slippers and walked out of the room quickly. She soon met the maid on duty in the corridor.

"Master Tia, good morning." Four maids in black and white uniforms raised their skirts and saluted, and then followed in the footsteps of the young Sylutia.

Walking through the long corridor of the home, Sylutia came to the hall. After walking around in a circle, he ran to the side hall. This was a room that looked like a birdcage. The cylindrical exterior wall was decorated with beautiful windows. There were various wisteria plants in the room. A woman in a white purple dress with her back to the girl was watering the flowers.

"Mom." Tia, who was a child, ran over, hugged the woman's waist, and leaned behind her.

"What's wrong, little Tia." Xuelin put down the kettle, turned around, picked up the girl, and put her on the seat beside her.

"There is the sound of drums beating outside." She said in a sweet voice at that moment.

"Yes, I heard it." Xuelin replied with a smile. She knelt down, looked at her daughter sitting in front of her with her beautiful eyes, and carefully stroked the hair on her forehead with her fingers.

"I've heard this kind of drum sound before." The young Sylutia continued to add.

"So, do you still remember what this means?" Xuelin asked with interest.

"Remember."

"Then let's talk about it."

"That's the sound of the drum over there."

"Over there?"

"It's the sound of drums from my father's hometown."

"Oh, it seems that Tia has a very good memory." Xuelin smiled.

"That's right, the delegation from the East came today, with a total of twelve large burning dragon ships." The ambassador who leads the team is the one you met when you were a child. You said that her skirt was like water."

"Ah, who is that? I actually don't remember." Sylutia couldn't remember that he had ever said such a thing.

"It's okay, you can see me tonight." Xuelin touched Sylutia's cheek.

At night, Sylutia was held by Xuelin and walked into the bustling palace. Today, many Zhu Zhan and woad blue ribbons were specially decorated. These silks and satins hanging on the doors and windows of the palace are rare treasures if you take them outside, but today they are just decorations in the dynasty palace.

In order to welcome the envoys from the Eastern Continent, the maids also covered the candle lamps with red and yellow lampshades, which is said to mean happiness and nobility in the East.

Along the way, many nobles bowed and saluted respectfully after seeing Xuelin. In the entire palace, when other nobles met, they nodded to each other at most. Solar Dynasty was at its peak, the atmosphere was open, and there was no very strict concept of hierarchy. The reason why so many nobles expressed their respect without hesitation was because the Mezzalance family was one of the few families in the dynasty with great honors.

"Xuelin Your Highness, you are finally here." In the palace, a luxuriously dressed prince came eagerly and asked for help from this beautiful lady with silver hair and purple eyes.

"What's wrong, our heroic Prince Joas." Xuelin lightly covered his face with the cuffs of white flower lace and responded with a smile.

"Stop teasing me, Your Highness Xuelin, this is what happened."

It turns out that today Prince Joas, as a representative of the dynasty and the royal family, encountered a lot of troubles in the process of receiving the envoys. If not handled well, it may cause diplomatic disputes and lead to conflicts between the dynasties that rule two continents respectively.

Therefore, in order to avoid such a bad outcome, Prince Joas had to plead with Xuelin, who had once sent Eastern Continent as envoy, to get help and solve various problems currently encountered.

"No problem, leave it to me." Xuelin's charming light purple eyes blinked, then raised his hand, and the maids behind him walked out one after another. They were well-behaved, dignified and generous. If it weren't for the distinctive maid uniforms on their bodies, it would be easy for people to misunderstand them as young ladies from a certain big family.

"Mezzalance's maid will not let you down."

These maids quickly took over the palace venue and rearranged many places. At the same time, they explained and guided the visiting Eastern guests, which quickly eased the originally anxious and difficult situation.

Now Sylutia was following Xuelin and saw another familiar blonde girl not far away saying hello to her.

"Elysia is also here today. Tia wants to play with her?" Xuelin asked, but before Sylutia could answer, the princess opposite in a complicated and luxurious dress had already trotted over.

Arriving in front of Xuelin, she first politely raised her skirt and saluted, then turned behind Xuelin with bright eyes and caught Sylutia who was about to hide.

"Don't run, Tia."

There was no other way. The young Sylutia was somewhat helplessly held by Elysia's hand and pulled aside to play. Where they were going, there were already many people of the same age gathering, several of them were princes and princesses, and the rest were mostly children of the great nobles of the dynasty.

In this way, it was not until the middle of the banquet that a maid came to notify Sylutia and took her away. However, at this time, Elysia still followed her.

So the two of them, guided by the maid, walked through the long palace corridor and came to a relatively quiet Courtyard. There was an elegant oriental-style pavilion. Xuelin was sitting in the pavilion talking with another figure. There were several guards guarding the pavilion. When Sylutia passed by, he took a curious look at the guard wearing green scale armor. The scabbard on his waist exuded a restrained Dragon Eye aura, and the scabbard was engraved with an elegant and wandering green dragon.

Facing these two children under ten years old, the guard smiled, took a step back, and made way to enter the pavilion.

Soon, the two came to the clean stone table. Although they were noisy when they were together with Sylutia, after seeing Xuelin, Elysia still showed the proper manners that a princess should have.

After the two arrived, the figure who was talking to Xuelin turned around, and Sylutia finally saw the other person's appearance clearly.

This is a woman in her twenties who is in her prime. She has flawless white skin, eyes the color of aquamarine, and two delicate jade-like dragon horns protruding from her forehead, which are shaped like antlers. After seeing the two girls, her eyes quickly turned to Sylutia, who had the same soft silver hair as Xuelin.

"This is Tia. The last time I saw her was seven years ago, not long after she could speak." The other party showed a soft expression, and even though she was sitting in the pavilion at night, her body seemed to be exuding a faint halo of fluorescent jade.

Xuelin on the side nodded, then waved gently to Sylutia, asking her to come to his side, and then gently put his arm around Sylutia's shoulders.

"Tia, this is the leader of this mission, Princess Azure Slipper." When you were a child, you were in poor health and she even specially treated you."

"Hello, Your Highness Qinglu." The young Sylutia said timidly, with an expression that made people feel affectionate.

"She's still so weak and cute." The princess opposite smiled and nodded, her eyes thoughtful.

"I should have brought you some gifts this time, but the trip was in a hurry. When I boarded the dragon boat, I realized that I was not well prepared." After saying that, she took off the double dragon jade pendant she was wearing around her waist, and then walked slowly to Sylutia.

"You are so cute, you have beautiful eyes." She blinked lightly, Sylutia seemed to see her own reflection in the other person's clear eyes.

Then, Princess Azure Slipper gently held Sylutia's hand and put the jade pendant into the girl's hand.

"This is a gift I give you. It can warm your body, Healing many diseases, and be immune to many strange poisons. But most importantly, it represents a promise and an agreement."

When the other party said this, Xuelin seemed to realize something. She looked at the jade pendant with a surprised expression.

"This is Emerald Dragon"----"It's a pity that such words were only halfway interrupted when Princess Qingfu raised her finger.

"Tia, as long as this jade pendant is still hanging on your body, it means that a certain agreement has taken effect."

"As for what this agreement is specifically, you will understand it when you grow up." After saying that, she held Sylutia in her arms and gently stroked the girl's back.

"In fact, it has many functions. If you hold this jade pendant and meet other dragons, you can also gain their friendship and respect." Princess Qing added.

Sylutia has forgotten a lot of what happened after that, but for a long time afterwards, Elysia liked that jade pendant very much, so he almost snatched it secretly.

Unfortunately, not only did several older princes and princesses come out to stop this time and return the jade pendant in Elysia's hand to Sylutia, but even the emperor, who had not been involved in secular affairs for a long time, specifically warned Elysia not to touch the jade pendant, which interrupted Elysia's thoughts.

A few years later, Xilu Tia began to come into contact with extraordinary knowledge. She was taught by her mother to use Meditation Technique to exercise her spiritual consciousness for the first time. Only then did she know some of the secrets of this jade pendant.

According to my mother, this jade pendant has been passed down by the Emerald Dynasty royal family, and it contains many secrets and knowledge of the Dragon Eye "path. Unfortunately, the Sylutia spirit at that time was still very weak, and it was not enough to explore the vast secrets and knowledge.

The long-standing memories in my mind were awakened at this moment. Sylutia stood in front of Plesiosaur, and his consciousness woke up from the memories, as if he was in another world.

Dragon's Promise"? She seems to know what that agreement is, but she seems to have forgotten it. It should be an agreement between the two dynasties. After all, Elysia, who was naughty and favored since childhood, has been taught a lesson. The weight of this agreement should be very heavy.

Shaking his head, Sylutia no longer thinks about things that are too far away.

It's a pity that now she doesn't know where the jade pendant has gone. If it is still with her, she can find the answer from it.

Although I still can't remember what the specific content of that agreement was, Sylutia recalled some of the Eastern Continent's secret knowledge. Things that I couldn't understand when I was young, I suddenly understand now.

--

If she wanted to save the dying Plesiosaur in front of her, she had to ensure that the other party would not turn back and retaliate after the treatment, and the best way to do this was to make an agreement with the other party.

However, contracting with a dragon is a very harsh thing. First of all, Longwei will follow the link of the contract. Impact Contractors who contract with Sixth Order's Dragon often need Seventh Order's Transcendent to withstand Longwei's Impact.

Secondly, how to establish this contract? Ordinary ritual secrets cannot bind dragons, and they can easily be torn apart by Dragon unilaterally. The reason why Dragon Witch of the Eastern Continent can contract with dragons is because the contract has Hour Emerald Dragon"'s testimony, Dragon will not easily violate the agreement if it is restrained by the dragon of Hour.

She has Fairy's blessing, and Sylutia knows it, but whether she will continue to enjoy the blessing and protection brought by the jade pendant, Sylutia is not clear. When she received the jade pendant that day, her mother once mentioned that she could guess that the jade pendant should be a treasure blessed by Hour, with the care of Emerald Dragon on it.

Forget it, I can only give it a try. Sylutia glanced at Plesiosaur, whose eyes were slowly closing in front of him, then descended from the sky and came to the opponent.

She inserted the sword blade into Plesiosaur's back again, but this time it was not to kill the opponent, but to absorb all the curses and refocus them on the holy sword.

On the hilt of the sword, a dazzling and beautiful five-petaled flower bloomed. There were light green thin lines in the white petals, and there was a faint golden halo in the stamens, which was particularly eye-catching even in the dark night.

Pulling out the sword, all the curses on Plesiosaur disappeared, but at this time, the weak Dragon was still unconscious. If he was not rescued in time, death might still be a matter of time.

Sylutia thought for a while and took out the Blood Currant" that he had accumulated for a long time. These blood-red berries can supplement the lack of blood.

Pour the fruit into Plesiosaur's mouth, barely holding the opponent's life, Sylutia began to use the secret dragon technique from the Emerald Dynasty.

First, she closed her eyes and concentrated, silently reciting the recorded mantra, which was the words left by Hour. As long as she recited it, she would be blessed by the power of Hour. However, this mantra must only be used by approved people, otherwise it would offend Hour and there would be immediate backlash.

Sylutia doesn't know now whether he is still recognized by that "Emerald Dragon". He can only test it silently in his heart first, and after getting weak feedback, he can open his eyes and really recite it after seeing nothing strange.

In order to make the contract better fulfilled, when performing the secret technique, Sylutia transferred itself back to the previous fourth level, Emerald Nectar. The vibrant Courtyard also spread out beside her, surrounding her and Dragon, forming a stable and peaceful environment. This can also enhance the effectiveness of the ritual during the contract.

The east wind is getting brighter, and its color is dim——"

Water accumulates and rains, thunder shakes the sky----"

Every time she recited a sentence, a faint light appeared between her eyebrows, and Plesiosaur in front of her was awakened again by this strange secret technique.

The invisible breeze passed through the girl's dress and hair, and her long black hair slowly floated behind her. A light green mark lit up between her eyebrows, and then the shadow of this mark was imprinted deep into Plesiosaur's consciousness.

[Dragon Contract·Spring Color](Dragon Eye·Emerald Nectar·Secret Speech); Hour The contract set by "Emerald Dragon" allows dragons and other creatures to reach an agreement to grow together. The nature of the contract is mild. Both parties cannot harm each other and can borrow part of each other's power. It can promote the growth of young dragons and allow vulnerable humans to be protected by the power of Dragon. It is a relatively elementary dragon contract. It requires the contractor to be at least two levels below Dragon, and both parties recognize each other without strong rejection.

In the darkness, Plesiosaur, which was almost in dead silence, heard some kind of faint call again. Although the girl's voice was not loud, it sounded clearly in its mind at the moment. The voice asked it, and it also sensed some higher will in the rhythm of the voice.

Hour's eyes were fixed on this briefly.

At the far end of the sky and sea, among the Azure Jade Dragon Palace in the vast Cloud Sea, a huge dragon shadow with an endless size slowly swam. The sleeping Dragon Eye slowly opened its eyes. In an instant, Penetration saw this man and one dragon on the earth from a distance of hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

With His acquiescence, this preliminary dragon contract took shape step by step, and then it was completed. A light cyan mark appeared between the girl's eyebrows, like a dragon bird's feathers.

After that, it closed its eyes again and no longer paid attention to the things on the Mortal Continent.

For Hour, the life of an ordinary person is just like a grain of dust, and those that can really be seen at a glance are extremely rare existences.

The child is still alive, and the previous agreement is still in effect."

Hour Dragon fell into deep sleep again, now is not the time to wake up.
