MTLNOVEL Chapter 339 My name is Sophia, and I am here to become the Black Dragon's Knight.
"Lucky me, huh?"
I had just arrived in Saint Blue City not long ago and already stumbled upon a little Dragon Prince raised by the Duke of Holy Blue?
The temperament of the Dragon Prince was quite pleasant; he knew to apologize when he pressed on a human's foot. If it were any other Giant Dragon using a transportation tool that pressed on a human's foot or accidentally stepped on one, they wouldn't even cast a glance your way, let alone apologize.
That's a normal young Dragon. If you were to meet one of those sinister and shameless young Dragons, they would step on a human's foot, and before the human could even cry out in pain, the deceitful little creature might start to wail, claiming that the human's foot injured its precious Dragon paw.
It might even say that it sprained its foot and demand compensation.
The little Dragon Prince of Saint Blue sure was kind-hearted.
Of course, if this little Dragon Prince were not kind-hearted, there wouldn't be so many older kids willing to play with her.
"Little Dragon Prince, could you teach me how to ride this strange vehicle?"
"I don't know how to teach someone; but how about this, I'll demonstrate it for you once. It's really simple—you'll understand just by watching."
"Alright."
The young Dragon took the bike from the girl and demonstrated how to ride it.
The girl watched the young Dragon's movements intently, simulating them in her mind.
"I'm starting to ride now."
"Um-hmm."
The young Dragon rode the bicycle far away, wondering if she should seize the moment to run off. However, she decided against it. The Evil Dragon had said that one must bravely take responsibility. If even this small mistake was something she couldn't admit to, or she wasn't willing to deal with it head-on, how could she become the Empress of the Farolan Empire in the future?
After cycling for a while, she turned back and rode two laps in front of the girl, stopping in front of her, "How about that? Do you understand now?"
"I understand, it's very straightforward."
"Do you want to give it a try?"
"Sure." The young Dragon got off the bike. "I'll let you ride the bike for a while, but afterwards, you can't hold me responsible for stepping on your foot, and you definitely can't swindle me. You said your foot was fine, not that I'm refusing to treat it."
"Don't worry, I never swindle people."
As a Saintess from the War God Holy Mountain, her every action represented the War God Holy Mountain. She couldn't afford to tarnish her status as a Saintess over petty gains, even if her identity wasn't revealed for the time being.
The young Dragon confidently handed over the bike to the girl.
The girl mimicked the young Dragon's movements, sat on the bike seat, then put one foot on the ground and the other on the pedal.
With a push against the pedal, the bike's wheels started turning, and she placed her other foot on the pedal, cycling away.
The young Dragon watched, mouth agape. Isn't it... true that after watching her ride the bike just once, the human girl could do it?
She herself had fallen several times when she was learning last night, even damaging a bike in the process. This human girl... didn't fall at all, and just learned to ride the bike with ease?
They are both girls... Why is there such a difference?
The young Dragon watched the golden-haired girl making easy turns around the square and fell into deep thought.
After a moment, she understood.
It wasn't because she was dumber than the golden-haired girl, but because she had turned into a young Dragon, and the body of the Dragon affected her sense of balance.
That's why she had fallen while learning to ride.
If she turned back into a girl, with her dexterity and intelligence, she could learn just by watching the Evil Dragon ride as well.
Lance set the bike aside, folded his arms, and stood by, watching the golden-haired girl ride the Dragon Cub's bicycle. He felt that the golden-haired girl seemed familiar.
For the life of him, he couldn't recall where he had seen this golden-haired girl before.
Pretty impressive.
To learn to ride a bike just by observing a Dragon Cub do it once showed some capability.
When the golden-haired girl had gently touched the Dragon Cub's bicycle earlier, she even activated some of the Arrays on the young Dragon's bike.
This caused parts of the young Dragon's bicycle to emit the glow of Array lights. Luckily, she hadn't fully activated them, simply coming into contact with hidden Arrays.
The young Dragon was oblivious to it, but she had noticed.
The abilities of the golden-haired girl... she might be stronger than the Dragon Cub.
From her accent, she wasn't a resident of Saint Blue City.
She's a foreigner.
A human girl transformed from a Pureblood Dragon?
It didn't seem likely; the Dragon Cub didn't give her that familiar look one Dragon would have upon seeing another of its kind. She must be a pure Human Race.
Her qi and blood were quite abundant; this golden-haired girl wouldn't encounter Evil Spirits while walking at night.
Evil Spirits would covet human qi and blood, but with qi and blood as strong as that of the golden-haired girl, they would only keep a respectful distance because their own essence could easily be incinerated into nothing by hers.
A mighty martial artist.
Trained in both magic and martial arts.
She's a talent.
Worth recruiting.
Have Tixia do the recruiting. He wouldn't do the recruiting himself. A talent like her already qualified to be one of his familiars, the key being she was a girl.
Though he had no desire to fall in love for the time being, the genes of a male Giant Dragon that loved beauty were there, preferring females with both beauty and strength, a trait branded into their Dragon Soul and Bones.
However, he had no improper thoughts about the golden-haired girl. She was about the same age as the Dragon Cub; he really couldn't conjure up such feelings.
Since nurturing the Dragon Cub, his values had somewhat straightened out, especially when it came to romantic relationships. His criteria for a mate had silently changed to requiring the girl to be older than the Dragon Cub.
Preferably someone his own age, being three hundred or even five hundred years younger wasn't a problem; being three hundred or even three thousand years older... he could accept that too.
A woman three years older brings home a gold ingot.
After riding around the square four or five times and getting a feel for the charm of the bicycle, the golden-haired girl reluctantly returned it to the young Dragon.
Such transportation ought to catch on in Saint Blue City. Perhaps in a bit of time, she'd be able to buy one and take it back to the War God Holy Mountain.
The expanse of the War God Holy Mountain was vast, and walking could be quite inconvenient. Although flying was an option, flying around every day was quite boring. If she had a bicycle, traveling would be a bit more convenient.
