Sometimes Eloline would wonder, is Guoguo an ordinary wolf or a wolf-like monster?
It's impossible for the witch Xia to keep an ordinary wolf as a pet? In order to verify her guess, Ai Luolin often observed Guoguo carefully, but there was nothing special. It seemed that Guoguo was really the same as an ordinary wolf.
On the grass in the forest, Licaro was playing with Guoguo, while Eloline was looking at the sky, thinking about how she should choose to say goodbye to Licaro.
I feel a little reluctant...but there will always be a time to say goodbye.
Although Eloline and Licaro are very good friends, it does not mean that Eloline has to accompany Licaro for her whole life. That is what lovers should do.
Today, Eloline is not very confused. On the contrary, she has already planned her future and even has a goal.
She decided to adventure in the wilderness as a dragon, to increase her strength while looking for other dragons. It would be even better if she could get news about her parents. Although Eloline's rebirth might be a gift from God, her life in this world was still given by her father and mother, even though she had never seen her parents since she was born.
In fact, these goals all have a common meaning for Eloline, which is to enjoy life.
In her previous life, Eloline didn't even have the opportunity to do outdoor sports. Normal thinking cannot be applied to Eloline. For Eloline, being able to leave her home and go to a distant place has always been something she longs for.
This meant that Ai Luolin was destined to not be able to stay in one place quietly for a long time, but...
Looking at Licaro's innocent smile, Eloline decided to stay with Licaro for a few more days. During this period, she could tell from the clothes Licaro wore that the weather was getting cooler, and the leaves of some trees in the forest had turned yellow. It seemed that it was already late autumn.
Why not wait until winter comes? It will be so cold then, Likalo probably won't come out to play anymore.
In fact, Eloline understood that the more time she spent with Likalo, the better their friendship would be, and the more painful it would be when they parted.
However, let's just treat it as my own willfulness. If the seasons in the other world are similar to those on Earth, Eloline estimates that winter will only last about a month.
So let's stay in the forest for another month. It's only a month, and Eloline can still accept it.
Come to think of it, if I were to leave in the future, what should Guoguo do if Xia didn't come back?
Is it really like Xia said at the beginning, to leave Guoguo in her cave?
It would be great if Guoguo had intelligence and could talk, so I could ask it what it thinks. Unfortunately... this is all I can do.
Suddenly, Eloline felt her tail being hugged. She turned around and found that Licaro was trying to do something with bad intentions.
"Oh no, I've been discovered..."
Licaro got off Eloline's tail somewhat unwillingly.
Eloline immediately understood what was going on. Licaro was trying to climb onto her back via her tail!
This little guy hasn't given up yet!
Some time ago, Eloline repeatedly stated in her non-standard human language that Licaro could not ride her, but Licaro launched a pitiful and cute offensive, and Eloline softened her heart for some reason and made a bet with Licaro.
That is, if Licaro can climb onto her back through her own efforts, she will make an exception and let her ride on her.
Eloline regretted saying this at the time, but later she thought carefully, how could an eight-year-old girl with such a short body climb onto her back? Not to mention that her reaction speed was obviously much faster than Likalo's, so she could discover Likalo's intention in advance and would not let Likalo succeed at all.
Despite this, Licaro refused to give up and tried every way to jump onto Eloline's back every day.
Therefore, Eloline remained alert at all times, fearing that Likalo would take advantage of her when she was lying on the ground in a daze or drinking water by the stream. But this was actually very fun and made her daily life a little more exciting.
This can also be considered as a "game" played with Licaro.
If she lay on the ground, Likalo would be able to climb onto Eloline's back if she tried hard. And it was unknown how Likalo bribed Guoguo, but the wolf actually cooperated with Likalo and actively served as a cushion for Likalo to step on its back. This way, Likalo's chances of success would be even higher.
Therefore, Eloline often paid attention to Licaro's actions. If she had not been in a daze just now, she would have noticed when Licaro approached her.
It’s not that Eloline is stingy, but for the dragon clan, being ridden is really a big deal. No dragon is willing to be ridden by others, unless the dragon is completely tamed, or is extremely important to it, is completely recognized by it, and can stay with it for life.
Neither of these two situations is suitable for Licaro. First of all, Eloline still has the memories of an Earthling, so it is absolutely impossible for her to be tamed. As for the so-called important person, it is even more impossible.
Lika Luo is just an eight-year-old child! Although she is very cute, she doesn't have any thoughts about Lika Luo!
And regardless of age, Eloline is now a dragon!
I don’t know if I can transform into a human form in the future. Even if I can, Eloline has no plans to fall in love.
When thinking about dragon life before, Eloline thought that as long as she was happy and enjoyed herself, that would be enough, and something as tiring as love was not suitable for her.
She has never planned to fall in love in her past life or this life, nor is she interested in it.
What really interests Eloline is traveling around the world, to far, faraway places.
The regret of not being able to leave the house in the previous life must be made up in this different world.
PS: The weather has been very hot recently and my friends have become familiar with each other.
Prologue Chapter 0 - That Winter 018 The Day of Farewell is Coming
A heavy snow heralds the arrival of winter. The whole forest is dyed white and is quieter than ever. The birds' calls have disappeared and many wild animals have begun to hibernate. There are not many active animals now.
"Count to 100 and then come find me~"
Licaro has changed into thick clothes. As a human being, she is actually very afraid of the cold, so she wraps herself tightly.
Playing hide-and-seek was not challenging at all for Eloline. Dragons were naturally very good at tracking. She could tell where Licaro was hiding with her eyes closed.
However, in order not to spoil the child's fun, Eloline pretended not to notice Licaro and looked for her everywhere.
Guoguo lay on the ground obediently and looked at Eloline. In fact, it also knew where Likalo was hiding, but it was just a spectator in this game of hide-and-seek.
After the snow fell, Guoguo's snow-white fur finally came in handy. Its concealment was greatly improved, but it was actually useless because Guoguo did not need to hunt, and he would not be attacked by other wild beasts while staying with Eloline.
It's not just Eloline that has grown. Guoguo has also grown a lot bigger. It's hard to imagine how many fruits it needs to eat to grow.
"Found you." (Pronunciation is fairly standard human language)
"Oh, what bad luck~" Licaro walked out from behind the big tree and stuck out her tongue at Eloline.
"..."
In fact, Eloline would not tell Licaro. Although she hid well with her petite body, the mist produced by her breathing could be seen with the naked eye alone.
"Then it's Guoguo's turn to hide!"
After Licaro shouted from a distance, Guoguo immediately stood up and ran away.
Eloline sometimes felt that this wolf was quite smart, and could even cooperate in playing games like hide-and-seek.
But she quickly retracted the thought, because the stupid wolf ignored one thing - the paw prints it left as it ran across the snow.
Licaro ran on the snow following the footprints, while Eloline stood there waiting. After a while, Licaro and Guoguo came back together.
It seems that Guoguo has been found.
"Hehe, Guoguo is so easy to find!"
Licaro hugged Guoguo's body and rubbed it against him. In this cold season, Guoguo's fur could bring her some warmth.
Eloline never tires of playing hide-and-seek with Licaro. To be honest, it is very childish, but seeing Licaro's happy face, Eloline also feels very happy.
She wanted to see this smile more, but it was almost time to say goodbye.
Eloline decided to tell Licaro that she was leaving in the next few days.
Thanks to Licaro's teaching, although Eloline still speaks haltingly and still mispronounces or doesn't know some words, she has no problem with basic communication. For this, she is very grateful to Licaro.
As for completely mastering the human language, Eloline is an immortal and she has enough time to learn it.
Suddenly a cold wind blew and Licaro shivered. Although she was wearing thick clothes, gloves and a hat, she still felt cold.
Although Eloline didn't feel cold, she could tell from Licaro's reaction that the temperature outside was very low.
One shouldn't stay outside for too long in the cold winter. Eloline thought that Licaro should stay at home to avoid getting sick from the cold.
Therefore, Eloline expressed her thoughts to Licaro in the unproficient human language.
"It's okay, I'm not afraid of the cold~~"
Likalo's tone was stubborn, but her voice was trembling.
It was really cold in the forest. From Likalo's red face, you could tell that she was trying hard to hold on.
"In winter, go home and don't go out."
Eloline's tone was serious, she really was concerned about Licaro's health.
"Hmm..." Although Lika Luo was reluctant to leave, she also knew the climate of Ed Fallon. The winter here was not suitable for staying outdoors for a long time, so she could only say: "Then, I will come to see you when the weather warms up!"
"..."
Eloline understood that this was an agreement, but she did not respond immediately because she was already preparing to tell Licaro that she would be leaving in the next few days.
Just as Eloline was about to speak, she met Licaro's expectant eyes, and the words she was about to say were swallowed back.
Children can be troublesome sometimes...
But, Eloline still hardened her heart.
Unexpectedly, Licaro did not have the reaction that Eloline had imagined. Apart from a look of loss and reluctance, she did not cry.
"I can understand that."
Likalo actually knew that the little black dragon would not always be with her. As the little black dragon grew bigger, Likalo had already prepared herself mentally for the little black dragon to leave.
When she was younger, Licaro once rescued a wounded baby bird, and she watched the baby bird grow up. Although she had a good relationship with the baby bird, the bird would often look at the sky in the cage because it longed to fly and longed for freedom.
Even birds have such thoughts, let alone dragons?
Licaro understood that the forest outside the city of Edfallon was a cage for the little black dragon, and the little black dragon would never be willing to live in the forest all his life. As a dragon, Eloline would soar in the sky like in the adventure novels she had read.
Eloline never thought that Licaro could understand her thoughts. At this moment, she didn't know what to say and could only wait for Licaro to speak.
Likalo is very strong, she won't cry. Friends will part ways, and she won't cry and ask the little black dragon to stay with her all the time. On the contrary, she will wish the little black dragon to fly higher and farther, to meet more friends, and to feel the meaning of life.
Just like Licaro's plan when she grows up - to become a knight and travel around the world.
However, this does not mean that Eloline and Likalo will never meet again. Maybe Eloline can come back to play with her when she has time.
"Little Black Dragon, sister supports you."
"..."
Even now, the child still claimed to be her sister, but Eloline had no intention of coaxing the child this time. She remembered the words of the witch Xia and tried her best to leave more good memories for Licaro's childhood.
"Thank you, Sister Licaro."
"Yeah!" Lika Luo smiled as usual, but the meaning of her smile was different: "There's one more thing. Can you promise me?"
"what?"
"Three days later is my birthday." Likalo said hesitantly.
Every year her father would hold a grand birthday party for her. Although it was impossible for Eloline to go to the city to attend the party, Licaro decided to make an exception and be a bad girl for once.
Late at night after the banquet, when everyone is asleep, she will sneak into the forest with a cake to celebrate with Eloline and say goodbye to her.
Although the cake was not enough for Eloline, the meaning was enough.
Of course, Eloline agreed to Licaro's small request without hesitation.
So they agreed to celebrate Licaro's birthday together three days later, and then Eloline would say goodbye to Licaro.
PS: Today's note is no note
Prologue 0 - That Winter 019 The Buds in My Heart
"Father, I'm going back to my room first."
Licaro wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and stood up to leave.
Wilfen glanced at the food that Likalo hadn't finished, and couldn't help asking, "Why don't you have an appetite today? Are you in a bad mood?"
"No, I'm fine~"
Licaro put on a smile and talked to her father in order to dispel his doubts.
"Is it because your mother couldn't get back in time?"
Her daughter's birthday is in three days, and preparations for the birthday party have begun early, but unfortunately, Licaro's mother will not be back for another ten days or half a month, so she will not be able to make it to her birthday this year.
Wilfin guessed that this might be the reason why his daughter was so listless. After all, compared to him, his daughter liked his wife more.
After Licaro said goodbye to her father and returned to her room, her smile suddenly collapsed and turned into sadness and melancholy.
Although Licaro would not cry because the little black dragon was leaving, she still felt a little reluctant in her heart. The time she spent with the little black dragon was very happy and very precious to her.
In terms of time, she and Xiao Heilong have only known each other for less than two months, but during this time, they have become good friends.
It’s a good thing that the little black dragon wants to leave the forest. Compared with his human self, the little black dragon’s future will definitely be more exciting.
