"It's also really very convenient ."
Gazing up at the giant bird made of water elementals that grabbed the black dragon's head one by one, Jared couldn't help but sigh with emotion. The school of Tower of Hierarchy specializes in elf summoning, and although almost every school of wizard can sign an exclusive contract with a magical spirit to obtain an elf to accompany them after entering the chanting field, only those of Tower of Hierarchy can summon an elf regardless of the number limit. However, only those in the Tower of Hiran can summon one regardless of the number, and they can also change their form freely. Aside from being a contracted spirit, Serenity can summon a variety of water elemental spirits, but the only drawback is that they don't last forever like the self-willed contracted spirits, but they disappear after a certain period of time, which is more than enough for battle.
As for why the Tower of Hurricane was so different from the other factions, Jared didn't ask, and Serenity certainly wouldn't tell him. These big ladies although everyone has some problems, but specifically in the time to do something, or quite clear about their own position and role, as well as what to say what should not be said. Just like Kylie is so proud of herself, but she would not unintentionally reveal the military information of the empire just for the sake of gambling. Although Serenity's character is a bit rigid and stubborn, but she also has a clear sense of priorities, and she will never say anything that she shouldn't say in the academy, and she won't answer anyone who asks.
The Five Yew Towers were able to send them out not only because of their magical prowess, but also because of the fact that they were so powerful.
"Mr. Jared, are you sure you're not hurt?"
Serenity put her eyes on Jared's hands, which were behind his back. Although Jared's movements were natural, Serenity felt a little puzzled, after all, in her impression, Jared had never done this kind of action in front of them. But Jared's expression seemed to be calm, and he didn't look like he was in any kind of pain. After all, he was covered in blood, so it was hard to tell if it was his own or the dragon's.
"No. Speaking of which ... how long will those elves of yours last?"
Jared looked up at the sky those water elemental elves changed into a giant bird, in the beginning, the two also met some difficulties. Jared was a swordsman, even with his powers, he was still just a swordsman. As for Serenity, she specialized in summoning magic, not nature magic, and had limited knowledge of black dragons. So they couldn't agree on which part of the dragon to take back. Jared thought that the head should be brought back, or else it could be used to decorate the living room. Serenity, on the other hand, preferred to take back some of the main internal organs, after all, the internal organs of the dragon's body were very useful materials in magical research.
Of course, the two had already agreed to retrieve some of the dragon's flesh before then, and since there was nothing in any of the spellbooks Serenity had read that said she couldn't eat dragon flesh, there must be no problem.
"Enough to last until we get back to the castle."
Serenity responded, looking at the dragon's head in the sky with a hint of excitement mixed with seriousness. After all, this was a real dragon, not a picture in a biology book. As for the rest of the parts, after they cut it up and put some in a cloth bag, the rest was only put there for the time being. Although it was a bit of a pity, but Jared still knew that greed is not enough to swallow a snake, he could not carry such a big dragon's body all the way back to the castle. On the other hand, if he moved all the bodies back to the castle, under the current temperature, I'm afraid that the castle would be uninhabitable in a short time. After all, in this era, there is no constant temperature freezer, nor refrigerator.
Although in the deepest part of Serenity's heart there is still a trace of doubt, after all, this is a black dragon, not a tiger, even if it is injured, want to kill a human is not as simple as crushing an ant? But although Jared looks like a gray head and face, woeful. But Jared was surprisingly unharmed, which was really strange. How did he escape the dragon's attack?
Thanks to the magical signals Serenity had cast beforehand, when the two returned to the castle with a large bag of bloodstained items, the crowd was already waiting for them at the door. Kylie was biting her lip, her face red. Tawana was looking at them with great concern, and when Jared approached them as if nothing had happened, Kylie immediately stepped forward, but it was clear from her look that she was not pleased.
"Jared, what the hell are you ..."
But she didn't finish her sentence, because at that moment Caroline had already walked over to Jared's side, and then jumped into his arms and hugged him tightly, and then raised her head and gazed reassuringly into Jared's face with her two-colored pupils of gold and blue.
（Welcome back. I'm glad you're okay.)
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Jared had no choice but to give up patting Caroline on the head because of the blood all over her body. But Caroline didn't seem to care, she didn't even care that her clothes and hair were covered in the same foul-smelling blood. This made Kelly's next words impossible to follow, in her time with Caroline she had learned that Caroline had a strange sense of cleanliness, she couldn't tolerate even the slightest bit of dirt on her body. But Caroline didn't seem to care about that at all, and what mattered most to her was Jared's safety.
"..."
Kelly paused, her expression odd, then she took a deep breath and turned toward Serenity.
"Serenity, what the hell is going on ... Serenity?"
Kylie herself asked in a trance, but she soon realized that Serenity seemed to be just as lost in thought as she was. After hearing Kylie's shout, Serenity was slightly startled and subconsciously shifted her gaze back from Jared and Caroline. She quickly came back to her senses, and then tried her best to tell Kylie what happened afterward in a smooth tone. Unfortunately, since Serenity herself knew very little, she could only reproduce what Jared had said, while Kylie listened with a blank face, and then asked Serenity to put the dragon's meat and head into the castle, as a user of elven magic, she still had some methods of preserving corpses.
(Hurt?)
"Don't worry, I used 'that'."
Jared took off his bloody clothes, his body was not strong, even a little thin. He didn't look like a warrior who could fight a dragon. Then he stepped into the cold water fountain without a care in the world and rinsed the blood off his body. At the same time, he shook his hair, which made Caroline frown.
(In front of a lady, it should be more elegant.)
Just like Jared, Caroline was also naked at the moment, she gently brushed her hair, and at the same time, she complained to Jared somewhat helplessly. Although the spring water in front of her is very cold, and a man and a woman alone, it is easy to make people think. But for Jared and Caroline, this kind of thing was something they were already used to. After all, it wasn't always possible to stay in a warm room with hot water while being hunted on Earth. When the conditions were tough, they had done it before. And although both of them looked a little weak, they were in fact in very good physical condition. The cold spring water alone would not be harmful to their health.
Caroline stood up, her blonde hair cascading down her back, her white skin glistening in the light of the water as if it were fragile porcelain, without a single blemish. The slender limbs are like a perfect work of art. Her breasts were not too big, full and round, showing attractive lines. White and pink is more exciting, all of this is very familiar to Jared, he can be said to have watched Caroline grow up, on any part of Caroline's body, Jared thought it would not be less than her own understanding.
But in the midst of all this ambiguity, there's an exchange of unflattering topics.
(Not that Serenity would notice.)
"Don't worry, by the time she gets there, it'll be over."
(Is this dragon that powerful? Need you to use 'that'?)
"Awesome ... doesn't seem to be very impressive either, but there was a rat following behind, so there was only a quick fight."
(I don't like it when you use that.)
Caroline's expression was a mixture of grumbling and resentment .
(That's dangerous, you should know that. ...)
Not everyone can use the Sin Armor, and even within the team, it's Jared's sole domain. The "one" who made the weapon for them seemed to appreciate Jared so much that he added this feature for him. Caroline had never liked the Sin Arms, and the Jared of that time, though overwhelmingly powerful, had become a stranger, as if he were someone she'd never met before, and that made Caroline very uneasy.
"I know."
Jared sank his body into the water, feeling the coolness and seemingly clearing his mind. Although, in normal circumstances, this would have been the time for him to get hot under the collar.
(Sometimes, I really want to just tell them what I can do, and then ...)
"And then what?"
Caroline didn't seem to have much to say in response to Jared's rhetorical question, she just sat down beside Jared and rested her head on his shoulder.
(There is no then ... I just tired of this kind of cover up action, no matter what to do there is no way to feel at ease, but also to always be on guard ... I feel a little tired.)
Caroline closed her eyes and let Jared hold her, the only place she could be at peace with what Caroline had decided since that summer six years ago.
"Get some rest."
Jared had no intention of comforting Caroline, and it was clear to both of them that it was nothing more than a stress-relieving outburst. Tell the truth? Are you kidding me? At that point, I'm afraid that people will be far away from me. Or they'll be feared as monsters.... Either way, it's not what they want to see. The only fortunate thing is that this world has magic this kind of abnormal existence, so the people for their ability does not seem to be very concerned. So far, Tawana was the only one who knew about their reserved powers, and with Caroline's "hints", Tawana wasn't going to reveal them to anyone. Kylie was aware of it, but didn't ask about it, so so far, their powers were still within the bounds of acceptance.
But even so, proceed with caution.
"Caroline, are you here? I just heard Wendy say ..."
Just then, Kelly suddenly walked in. She looked at the two naked people in surprise, her face turned into red-hot charcoal in a split second, and she stood frozen in place. It wasn't until Jared was amusedly shielding Caroline's body and looking at Kelly with a hint of reproach that she suddenly seemed to react and stammered.
"Yeah, sorry! I didn't realize ... was interrupting!!!"
With that, Kylie turned around and fled the place as fast as she could. The two of them could only laugh bitterly at this, and then Caroline reached out her hand and took a comb.
(Can you brush my hair?)
"With pleasure."
