If you were to ask what the first impression Luokenuosuos i left on [ the Great Wei Boxing Champion ] was, it could probably be summarized in one sentence.
That is—this guy is just too human-like.
No wonder [ Great Wei Boxing Champion ] was so surprised; as a veteran player who came from the newbie village, he had seen Seraphina in her human form.
Although it may be impolite to say this, objectively speaking, Seraphina doesn't look very human after transforming:
Arrogance, conceit, lack of common sense and patience—these are all characteristics of Seraphina in her human form, not to mention the two flame-like dragon horns on her head.
It can be said that, apart from her human-like appearance, her behavior and way of handling things both reveal the arrogance of a dragon.
However, the Imperial Army Grand Marshal in front of him was not like that:
Judging from appearance alone, this guy's transformation is already far ahead of Seraphina's —he doesn't have dragon horns on his head.
Moreover, besides their appearance, their temperament and personality are also very different from the other dragon:
The Grand Marshal, dressed in inner armor, sat in his chair with a somewhat martial air. Although he was not particularly muscular, his expression was authoritative and dignified, just like a general on the battlefield who never showed his emotions.
Although equally arrogant, this Grand Marshal gave the impression that a sword would strike at any moment, rather than the feeling of a certain Red Dragon that would Incarnation a dragon and stomp down at any instant.
In addition, [ The Great Wei Boxing Champion ] also captured another anchor point related to the transformation of dragons - color.
Seraphina was a Red Dragon, and when she transformed into a human, her hair became fiery red.
The creature before me was a Green Dragon, and its slightly curly long hair was now a near-black dark green.
So is this some kind of common trait among dragons?
Thinking of a dragon soul that was still predominantly blue even in pixelated form, [ Great Wei Boxing Champion ] became even more certain of his guess and began to look forward to the human form of the Amber Dragon Aeldra.
As he was thinking this, the Imperial Marshal's voice entered his ears at that moment:
"You're scrutinizing me. That's interesting."
The voice was like a decree descended from the heavens; the moment it was spoken, the space inside the tent, where only the two of them were, fell into a strange state.
Although he didn't understand the underlying principles, [ Great Wei Boxing Champion ] had already sensed that killing intent.
He was acutely aware that if he answered even one question incorrectly, he would die in a way he could never have imagined.
Meeting a High Tier, experienced official was indeed not as simple as it seemed.
Almost a second had passed, and he dared not think any further, immediately setting the basics of his speech in his mind.
Then he looked at the Imperial Marshal in front of him and said seriously:
"As you say, please forgive my rudeness—after all, the opportunity to see a dragon in person is not very common, even in human form."
Luokenuosuos i neither agreed nor disagreed with his statement, but instead followed up with a question:
"So what were the results of your investigation?"
[ The Great Wei Boxing Champion ] wanted to fabricate something, but felt it was pointless to play mind games with this guy, so he steeled himself and blurted out his true thoughts—
"I think... your shapeshifting skills are very profound."
"Um?"
Luokenuosuos i probably hadn't expected this answer. He subconsciously hummed in agreement, then suddenly realized what he meant and asked with a smile:
"Have you only ever seen Seraphina's dragon before?"
So this is how he revealed the dragon box behind him?
I have to kneel down in respect to this veteran!
[ The Great Wei Boxing Champion ] exclaimed inwardly, but nodded calmly on the surface:
"That's true."
"That's not surprising."
Luokenuosuos i immediately smiled:
"The more you use it, the more skilled you become at transforming."
" Seraphina is just a small dragon; how much of a human does she resemble?"
[ The Great Wei Boxing Champion ] thought to himself that it wouldn't be accurate to say that Seraphina had become completely inhuman, but he didn't refute it verbally.
After laughing for a while, Luokenuosuos i began to inquire about serious matters:
"So, what did the Red Dragon send you here to tell me?"
[ The Great Wei Boxing Champion ] did not answer directly, but instead pointed out the problem in the other party's words:
"Grand Marshal, I was not sent by the Red Dragon Seraphina, but by the Son of God of the Second... Holy Tree Worship Church Theocracy."
"Oh? Then why do you have Red Dragon scales?"
[ The Great Wei Boxing Champion ] speaks the truth:
"Because the Red Dragon Seraphina has now joined the Holy Tree Worship Church Theocracy."
"That's incredible."
Luokenuosuos i showed a genuine look of astonishment:
" The Red Dragon actually gave up its destructive activities and joined a faction instead?"
"He really is a strange junior."
After exclaiming twice in surprise, the Grand Marshal suddenly asked:
"What was your Son of God's name again?"
Ed Adrian.
[ The Great Wei Boxing Champion ] answered earnestly.
Upon hearing this name, Luokenuosuos i immediately displayed undisguised curiosity and doubt:
"Oh right, that's what it's called. I know that rising star... no, now he should be considered a very powerful and influential Son of God."
"Why isn't he staying in his own Theocracy? What does he want with me?"
[ The Great Wei Boxing Champion ] thought for a moment and said:
" The Son of God specifically sent me to remind you that the ' Dragon Hunter ' has appeared; you must be constantly vigilant."
Luokenuosuos i was taken aback, thinking that " Dragon Hunter " was a new title he had been given to others.
Then he came to his senses and asked in confusion:
"A dragon is hunting me down?"
"Yes."
Which one?
[ The Great Wei Boxing Champion ] tried his best to make his tone very serious:
"' Ancient Shadow,' Aeldra."
Upon hearing this name, the Imperial Marshal's expression turned astonished once again.
This time, however, was different from before. When Seraphina joined the faction before, the Imperial Marshal's astonishment was only superficial.
The astonishment at this moment was genuine, because after a brief moment of surprise, [ Great Wei Boxing Champion ] noticed that the smile on the Imperial Marshal's face had disappeared.
He keenly noticed this, but instead of asking further questions, he patiently waited for the other party's response.
After pondering the name several times, Luokenuosuos i smiled again. He looked at the envoy, the [ Great Wei Boxing Champion ], and asked earnestly:
" The Son of God who sent you only wants you to explain this one thing?"
"Right."
"I see."
Luokenuosuos i, now relaxed, waved his hand.
"Go back and tell your Son of God — Aeldra— that killing me won't be so easy."
You can leave now.
Having said that, Luokenuosuos i seemed to have lost interest in the visitor before him. If he knew the ancient etiquette of the other world, he would have already served tea and seen the guest off.
Unexpectedly, the person in front of him did not turn away upon hearing this, but instead looked intently at the Imperial Marshal:
"Lord Loxor, I have a few questions I'd like to ask you. Would you be willing to answer them?"
