"This way my arrangements should be completed early."
Vittian thought about it and thought that considering Eloline's intelligence, it should be about right for her to master one language every month in three months.
Now Vitien only teaches Eloline how to read and talk. As for writing, let's talk about it later. It would be too inefficient to let Eloline carve words with her claws.
PS: Today's little black dragon is also studying hard.
Chapter 1 - Childhood Friend 004: Forest Arsonist
Now a month has passed, and with Eloline's own learning talent, she can already speak human language fluently. I believe that if I see Licaro again, I can communicate with her in human language as easily as I speak dragon language.
While teaching Eloline the languages of other races, Vitian also forced Eloline to fight against the monsters in the southern wilderness.
Every day, Vitian would draw the appearance of a certain magical beast on the stone tablet, and then ask Eloline to find the magical beast and defeat it, and then return to her residence with the trophy that could prove the identity of the magical beast.
This can not only train Eloline's tracking ability, but also her combat ability.
And Eloline said that it is really difficult to find the designated monster in such a large area as the southern wilderness.
Sometimes she was lucky and would find it quickly, but sometimes she would search for a whole day and find nothing. As punishment for her failure, Vitien would hit Eloline on the head.
Although it seemed like a very light punishment, it was actually very terrifying. Eloline couldn't believe that Vitien had such strong strength. Just one hit could make her feel pain for a long time.
Eloline had been traumatized, so every time she went out to look for Warcraft, she tried her best to find it, and at the same time secretly prayed to the gods to bless her and increase her luck.
The monsters that need to be hunted today are a bit special. They are plant-type monsters that grow in the forest. Before leaving, Vitien specifically told Eloline to be careful and not to be restrained by this kind of monster.
Eloline didn't understand what Vitien meant before, but when she found the monster, she suddenly felt uneasy.
Why do those thick and long plant tentacles that are constantly waving look so much like tentacles!
The monster looks like a spirit of the Queen of Flowers, with a disgusting big mouth and long thick roots deeply inserted into the soil. Although it has no eyes, it seems to be able to sense the existence of the surroundings.
The animal remains around the monster are the best proof.
This morning, when Vitian described the monster, he hadn't mentioned the tentacles, and Eloline suspected she had been tricked.
She didn't know how to start for a moment, because this was her first time fighting a non-animal monster...
If you want to deal with plant-type monsters, the best way is to pull its roots out of the soil. The soil is equivalent to its source of life. As long as it is separated from the soil, it should be able to be killed.
Can she pull it out of the mud with her strength? Judging from the size, this monster is about the same size as her body.
What gave Eloline the most headache were those flying tentacles. She could already imagine how this monster would attack.
However, as a powerful dragon, Eloline is still quite confident. No matter how strong a plant is, it can't be compared to a dragon, right?
However, just as Eloline was about to act, the monster launched the first attack. Its tentacles began to extend and flew straight towards Eloline in the air.
Seeing this, Eloline tried to dodge, but she didn't expect that the tentacles were faster than her flying speed. These tentacles were like strong ropes, directly wrapping around Eloline's wings and body.
Eloline underestimated the enemy. The power of the plant-type monster was actually greater than hers! Now the plant tentacles were tightly wrapped around Eloline, making it impossible for Eloline to break free.
Entangled by the tentacles, Eloline lost her ability to fly and fell to the ground from the sky. Fortunately, the height of the fall was not too high, otherwise she might have become the first dragon in history to be killed by falling.
After falling to the ground, the monster's tentacles dragged Eloline to its location. Looking at the monster's disgusting mouth, Eloline struggled hard, but to no avail.
"Let me go, you disgusting bastard!"
However, no matter how Eloline resisted, she could not deny the fact that she was getting closer and closer to the monster.
This was the first time that Eloline had been in such an embarrassing situation. She had been hunting monsters in the southern wilderness for a month and had never encountered such a situation where she had no ability to resist.
While feeling the danger, Eloline also began to feel humiliated, which quickly turned into anger.
She is a dragon, the future king of the sky and land, but she has no ability to resist an unknown plant-type monster?
Eloline felt that the anger in her heart was becoming increasingly difficult to suppress. Looking at the disgusting monster so close to her, a power she had never felt before suddenly surged in her body.
This power was so strong that it seemed to have already existed in her body and had only just been awakened.
Almost in that instant, Eloline opened her mouth almost instinctively and spewed out a breath of scorching flames at the plant-type monster in front of her.
This was no ordinary flame. It was high in temperature and also had impact and explosiveness. Eloline's breath completely covered the monster's body. Under the burning flames, the monster screamed in pain, and the tentacles that were wrapped around Eloline's body all loosened.
Eloline, who was somewhat slow to react, watched the monster burn to ashes in front of her, leaving only a pile of ashes.
“Could this be dragon’s breath…?”
Eloline couldn't believe that the breath she just exhaled was actually emitted by herself. Although there was no record of breathing in the dragon clan's inheritance, what she had just awakened should be the dragon clan's breathing ability.
So, she has mastered a stronger attack method?
After awakening the breath ability, Eloline found through careful study that using the breath was very simple because it had become her innate power.
So she aimed at a tree to experiment, and spurted out hot breath from her mouth again, instantly igniting the tree and the surrounding area.
Eloline was pleasantly surprised to see this, as it meant that her strength had been greatly enhanced.
However, exhaling seemed to be very energy-consuming, and now Eloline was feeling a little tired.
In the past, she would find something that could prove the identity of the monster and report to Vitian, but the monster she defeated today had been burned to ashes, so Eloline could only go back and explain to Vitian what happened.
Just as she was about to go back, she suddenly discovered something.
The tree she had used to test her breath and the surrounding area were still burning, and the fire had spread to other areas!
As luck would have it, a gust of wind suddenly blew, intensifying the fire and quickly beginning to spread on a large scale!
"It's over, it's over!"
Eloline was extremely anxious. The vegetation here was lush. If the fire was allowed to spread... it would definitely be a disaster!
The fire spread very quickly. In a blink of an eye, the surroundings were already a sea of fire. Eloline was completely dumbfounded. She had no ability to put out the fire at all!

Chapter 1 - Childhood Friend 005 News from Far Away
Vitian was a little surprised that Eloline had not come back yet. Although the monster she recommended to Eloline to fight was powerful, that monster could not break through Eloline's dragon scale defense.
If Eloline was really entangled by the plants, as long as she kept struggling, it wouldn't take long for the monster's stamina to run out and then she could kill it.
Vitian would not choose extremely dangerous monsters for Eloline to die. The monsters she recommended were all reasonably considered.
When they reached the top of the mountain, they could look down for a long distance. Vitian noticed that the forest in the distance was emitting thick black smoke, and countless birds and beasts were fleeing in all directions.
"The forest is on fire?"
Vittian frowned, and at the same time had a guess in her mind.
She raised her hand, and a longbow and arrow appeared in her hand.
Vitien whispered a word, and the arrow in her hand turned dark blue. Then she drew the bow, pointed the arrow at the sky, and shot the arrow out with a whoosh.
A blue arc of light streaked across the sky, and the originally clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and within a few seconds, heavy rain began to fall.
Vitian, who was standing there, had already opened an umbrella that appeared from nowhere.
At this moment, Eloline, who was anxious to put out the fire, suddenly noticed the change in the weather. As soon as she looked up at the sky, she saw countless raindrops falling.
Blah blah blah...
Torrential rain poured down on the forest, extinguishing all the raging flames. Before long, not even a flame could be seen.
Eloline was extremely surprised by this, because this was already a supernatural phenomenon. How could it suddenly rain heavily on a cloudless day? This world was not a game, and there could be no console that could input a code for rain.
Although she was full of doubts, the sudden rainstorm solved Eloline's troubles and prevented her from being labeled an arsonist.
Eloline was still very grateful for this.
Her body was washed by the rain, and Eloline felt a little uncomfortable, but she still took off into the air and flapped her wings to fly towards Vitien's residence.
When Eloline arrived, Vitien was already waiting at the door with an umbrella.
"Let me guess, you've learned the dragon's breath?"
Before Eloline could speak, Vitien spoke first.
"How did you know?"
"I can see the smoke in the woods."
"Well...luckily there was this heavy rain, otherwise there would have been a forest fire."
To this day, Eloline still feels extremely fortunate.
"So." Vitian looked at Eloline in confusion: "What on earth were you thinking that you would breathe fire in the forest?"
"I……"
Eloline herself didn't know what she was thinking at the time. The breath that burned the plant-type monster to death did not cause a big fire. What really spread the fire was Eloline's second breath later.
Eloline swore to herself that she would never make such a stupid mistake again.
During the short time that Eloline and Vitien were talking, the rainstorm stopped and the dense dark clouds in the sky seemed to have evaporated directly. Within a few minutes, the sky returned to its clear and cloudless state.
Seeing this magical scene, Eloline finally couldn't help asking, "Is this the special climate environment of the southern wilderness? Why does it rain suddenly or stop raining suddenly?"
In Eloline's opinion, whether it was raining or not, the speed shouldn't be that fast...
"Who knows~" Vitian put away the umbrella and shook her head. "Maybe the gods in the sky couldn't bear to see the stupid dragon become an arsonist, so they sent rain."
"..."
Eloline was so ashamed that she felt like she had nowhere to hide. This incident would probably become a dark history for her in the future. Fortunately, only Vitien knew about it. As long as she didn't say anything, she wouldn't have to worry about this dark history being known to others.
"Well, your goal for today should be accomplished." Vitian knew that plant monster very well. She knew that it was weak to fire, and it would definitely die if it was touched by the flame dragon's breath.
"So what else are we going to do today?"
"Since you have already mastered the human language, let's start learning the Elvish language today."
Vitian's eyes were quietly focused on Eloline's dragon horn. She saw a photo crystal tied to it, and she couldn't help but wonder what the little human girl looked like.
Since Eloline already had a basic understanding of human language before accepting Vitien's teaching of human language, it was inevitable that they would talk about Licaro's problem.
Through Eloline's brief narration, Vitian learned about the existence of such a little girl. She couldn't help but sigh that she was not afraid of Eloline, who was a dragon. She was really brave.
However, Eloline was still on guard against Vitian. She didn't even tell Vitian Licaro's name, let alone the witch Xia and the forest protection she gave to Licaro.
Vitien was very curious about what Licaro looked like, but since Eloline was unwilling to share the contents of the photo crystal, she stopped asking.
"Before I teach you Elvish, would you be interested in learning some information?"
"What message?" Eloline asked curiously.
"There are border frictions between the empire and its neighbors. The armies of both sides are being mobilized. There may be a war."
"How did you know?"
Vidyan had always lived here, and Eloline didn't quite believe she could travel to other parts of the empire in the short time she had.
“A message from a friend.”
"Friends? In what way?"
"messenger."
According to Vitien, the sender of the letter was a friend who lived in another area, and the letter was delivered by a "courier".
"Messenger" is the nickname of a bird-like monster that looks like an eagle and can be tamed and tasked with delivering letters.
Normally, Vitian keeps in touch with her friends outside the southern wilderness through letters.
