Chapter 24 Have you ever seen this dragon?
Reinhardt felt a faint sense of pressure from the silver-haired girl.
He suddenly remembered where he had felt similar pressure.
In that dark cave, he had felt a similar pressure from a black dragon.
“This is Long Wei!”
Reinhardt immediately understood the true identity of the girl in front of him.
"What should I do? Should I tell the truth?"
The girl in front of him was a dragon, and she didn't seem to be friendly to the dragon named Farui.
"If I can get them to fight, will my debt be repaid? No, no, even though it's my creditor, that dragon saved my life. I can't repay kindness with hatred."
Reinhardt decided to try to deceive the girl in front of him.
"Oh, I almost forgot."
"I'm sorry, creditor."
The silver-haired girl received the same answer as before.
Reinhardt's face suddenly fell.
"This is a lie detection spell. As long as you have the intention to lie, its aura will change color."
"What are you talking about? I have never met a dragon."
The girl seemed to remember something, and after a burst of obscure dragon language that Reinhardt could not understand, a ray of magic light appeared on Reinhardt's body.
It is obvious that the level 5 warrior opposite cannot be stronger than a level 9 silver dragon, even if she is in human form now.
"Yes, I have seen a black dragon."
But in fact, this is what he blurted out.
"I'll ask again, have you ever encountered a dragon before?"
"Maybe I saw it wrongly, sorry to bother you."
"Could it be that the spell went wrong?"
The girl spoke in obscure dragon language, and Reinhardt's spell light flashed again, and a new lie detection was cast on him.
Although this spell is not of high level, it will be effective with 100% accuracy as long as the recipient is weaker than the caster.
The detect lies spell aura remains unchanged.
The silver-haired girl's face was full of confusion. She clearly smelled the scent of Fari on the human in front of her.
Reinhardt's strategy is exhausted.
He was about to say this.
The girl frowned. Detect Lies didn't respond.
"No."
But the human in front of her was not lying, so the girl could only give up for the time being.
The girl took out a well-made pendant.
"I hope this can express my apologies. This trinket can cast Hand of the Mage once a day, which may be helpful to your adventure."
The girl handed the pendant to Reinhardt.
"By the way, my name is Safrina. If you encounter the black dragon I mentioned in the future, I hope you can let me know."
"no problem."
After receiving Reinhardt's affirmative response, Savrina turned and left. In the blink of an eye, the silver-haired girl disappeared.
Reinhardt breathed a sigh of relief.
“Is this the power of the contract?”
Reinhardt was speaking the truth on his own accord, so the "detect lies" spell had no effect.
It’s just that every word he said was tampered with because of the soul contract the moment it came out of his mouth.
"You cannot reveal the existence of the creditor to others... It seems there is such an additional clause."
Ferry's caution played a role here, although it is not clear whether this role was good or bad.
"This dragon is pretty nice. He actually apologized."
Reinhardt raised the pendant in his hand. The sunlight in the courtyard shone on the pendant, flickering with fluorescent light. Reinhardt had the urge to wear the pendant immediately. "If you don't want to cheat your creditor dragon, don't wear this thing."
Just as Reinhardt was about to put on the pendant, a voice sounded beside him. It was the long sword at his waist that "spoke".
Startled by the sound of his own weapon, Reinhardt quickly put down the pendant in his hand.
"Oh my God, what the hell is this?"
"It's nothing. In addition to the magician's hand, this pendant also has two spells. One is the charm spell, which attracts you to wear it, and the other is a combination of the detection spell and the communication spell."
Reinhardt frowned.
"Detection, what do you detect?"
"If I'm not mistaken, as long as you meet that creditor dragon, the guy just now will get the news immediately."
Reinhardt held up the pendant again. Judging from what his sword said, the pendant only added some other functions and would not cause any harm to the user.
But he might be in danger one day and need to summon Fari. If he wears this pendant, Safrina will know that Fari is here, which might bring him danger.
"It's a pity to have a magic item but not be able to use it."
"What's the pity? Can't you sell it?"
"Ah? Can this still happen?"
Reinhardt was shocked by Longsword's suggestion.
"This is a gift from a dragon expressing his apology. Is there really no problem?"
"If you sell it, maybe she will look at you with a higher regard. After all, it means that you are not a guy who can't even find out the trick on the pendant."
“I really didn’t notice…”
Reinhardt muttered quietly, and almost lost the long sword at his waist.
A few hours later, Reinhardt stood at the street corner holding a bag of gold coins.
“I actually sold it.”
He still had a sense of unreality. He weighed the gold coins in his hand, as if these were also counted as adventure gains, and part of them had already gone into Fari's pocket.
And now Fari was holding the magic gem carefully, flying around in the sky like a headless fly.
He still hadn't found Safrina.
"It's only been a few days, where has she gone?"
Farui had already searched all the places around Sagat City where dragons might live, but he couldn't find even the shadow of Safrina.
Fari looked at the gem in his hand, a little hesitant.
As long as he exudes his dragon power without concealment, the dragons in this kingdom will be able to sense it. Given Savrina's temperament, she will probably appear in front of him soon.
"But doesn't that mean I'm the one who's actively looking for her and paying her for help?"
Fari shook his head. He didn't dare to think about how Safrina would laugh at him in this situation.
According to his plan, he would meet Savrina who was clearing out the undead creatures. After helping her to clean up the undead creatures, he would casually invite her for cooperation. Maybe he could save the gems he asked her for help.
But now, his plan obviously failed. There was no sign of the undead below being cleared out. Instead, there were more of them.
"no way."
Fari found a hilltop where no undead creatures were hiding, and began to exude his dragon power without hiding it.
"The king has rejected our request to intervene."
In the meeting hall of the Church of the Sun God, the high priest was talking to Savrina, and it seemed that things were not going well for the church.
"Then let's use the power of the princess, put on a layer of Shadow Crow's clothes, and go in first to create a fait accompli."
"But in that case, Princess..."
Such behavior would surely earn Lania hostility.
"Since we have gained the support of the church, we must also pay a corresponding price."
Savrina was halfway through her speech when she suddenly looked up and out the window.
"Sorry, I have to go out for a while. What I said before was just a suggestion. It depends on your considerations on how to do it."
After saying this, Savrina disappeared from the sight of the officiant.
