Palace!
Lulu opened her eyes and raised her head. She stayed perfectly still and squinted. During her nap just now, it felt like she had heard something. After waiting for a bit, she lowered her head again. If she wasnt dreaming, and the message was really important, then itd be repeated. A yawn escaped from Lulus mouth, and her jaws snapped shut before she placed her chin back down onto her front paws. Her gaze shifted towards the pile of used materials in the corner of her room, and two jets of steam shot out of her nostrils. It was a shame Tafel had given up on self-studying so easily. If the demon were still here, Lulu could ask her to open a few portals to pick up more alchemy supplies.Th.ê most uptodate novels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m
Glorias in danger! Come outside the palace!
Lulu raised her head again. So, she wasnt just hearing things! At last, a reasonable excuse to leave the palace had presented itself. Who cares if she was grounded? Her niece was in danger! She galloped out of her room and hesitated at the threshold. Her feet paused, and she tilted her head. If she hadnt been hearing things, then who the heck had spoken!? A shiver ran down her spine as she turned around. Her gaze roamed around the whole room, but she didnt see anyone. Her eyes shifted up towards the ceiling, and as expected! There was no one there.
H-hello? Lulu called out. Her brow furrowed. What if there was a fairy sneaking around with invisibility? She was pretty sure they could do that. A fairy could easily get her into trouble with her mom by tricking her out of the palace! However, how could Lulu be afraid of a little bit of trouble? This was her niece that was in danger! It was better to confirm Gloria was safe than to doubt the foreign voice in her head convincing her to do things she shouldnt. Now that she thought about it, was she crazy? Is anyone there?
You mean Kozabokgets message? Leila asked. It was broadcasted by the wind to the whole household. Leila glanced down at the green scales on Lulus body. It was unfortunate, but it seemed like the poison had affected her little sisters mind. Luckily, Grimmy was working on making a cure. Probably. If he was, he didnt seem to be in any hurry.
Kozabokget is Ramons pet goat, right? Lulu asked and raised an eyebrow. Her eyes lit up, and she picked up the pace. She hadnt really paid any attention to the little goat, but if it could do something like broadcasting a message through the wind, wouldnt it make a great alchemical ingredient? Perhaps she could bribe Ramon for one of its hooves. If she offered him some bear meat while he was hungry, it might just work.
Lulu skipped and hummed to herself as she followed behind the pair of dragons in front of her. However, after receiving a glare from Leila, Lulu remembered this was supposed to be a solemn moment. Gloria was allegedly in danger! Lulu nodded and made a zipping motion in front of her mouth before forcing herself to walk normally. It didnt take long for the dragons to reach the entrance, and when they did, Grimmy let out an earth-shattering roar and charged out, causing Lulu to raise her paws to cover her ears. Leila roared as well, rendering Lulus attempts at protecting her eardrums useless. Luckily, Lulu was a holy dragon. She casted a quick healing spell on her head and rushed out, following behind her sister.
Lulus gaze landed on the little cursed dragon with two ballista bolts sticking out of her body. There were four bloody bolts on the ground below her, and huge chunks of flesh were attached to the hooks along the bolts shafts. Lulus eyes widened upon seeing the blood pouring out of the cursed dragon, and she was about to launch a healing spell, but Leila had already done that. As for Grimmy, he flew into the air despite the limited space within the cavern, and unleashed a breath of black flames. They washed over the trees and greenery, setting everything ablaze. Shouts and screams filled the air as a layer of pitch-black smoke blanketed the cavern.
Are you alright, Gloria? Leila asked. Dont worry, Im here now. Everythings going to be okay.
Gloria released the ballista bolt she was pulling out of her body. Tears poured from her eyes, and she let out a wail as she buried herself in her mothers embrace. As for stopping her dad from setting the farm on fire. Well, the farm wasnt a good place. Perhaps it should be burned down.
