People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 504 Lin Feng: I'm not Violet... This is a serious misunderstanding of my character and aesthetics.

"What...what happened?"

"Those who died have all come back to life?!"

On the north side of Haegeishima Island, at the edge of a cliff along the coast.

Having recovered from the panic of being submerged by the tide,

After discovering that everything was unaffected and had even become more orderly, the reassured rebel soldiers gradually began to carefully observe what had just happened.

If the wounded are recovering and the vegetation is becoming lush, that's still within their comprehension.

But when they discovered that the corpses of the soldiers who had been carried by the ocean currents had also come to life, most of the soldiers were so frightened that they almost raised their weapons and shot them.

"Don't panic. The tide just now didn't cause any actual damage. Don't attack friendly forces nearby indiscriminately."

"--Soldiers confirmed to have died in battle, please gather together. We will help you check your current condition as soon as possible to see if you need further treatment."

Being present at the scene, I was able to quickly and effectively manage the situation, and the prestige of the current human-god priestess was enough to quell the chaos.

Although Xin Hai also felt extremely incredulous and couldn't understand what had happened,
However, for an army, recovering from a state of disorder and chaos is always the top priority.

A moment later, forcibly pulling his attention away from the shock of seeing the colossal platinum dragon that blotted out the sky,
Those present, including members of the "Traveler's Resistance," quickly examined the soldiers who had come back to life.

The soldiers all reported that they felt their consciousness briefly drift away from their bodies before returning.

Even though they found everything incredibly unbelievable and completely inconsistent with their previous knowledge and education,

However, the military doctors who could not find any problems hesitated for a moment before having to admit that the soldier in front of them had indeed experienced a perfect resurrection.

The impact of witnessing that figure firsthand went far beyond that; most of the soldiers who had looked up were still in a daze, unable to comprehend what was happening.
Although the details of that figure seemed to have been erased by some force, so much so that the person who experienced it now cannot remember what exactly they just saw.
But for the rebels who had never personally witnessed the intervention of a god, the memory of that supreme power, far beyond human imagination, still caused them to fall silent for a moment, despite their initial confidence in fighting against the god.

"The dragon lizards have all disappeared? And that witch with snake-like eyes left with them?"

"What are the actual losses?"

"Huh? What do you mean by 'no loss other than being forcibly given a bath'?"

The anomalies in the ocean had subsided, and they remained nearby, receiving battle reports from all directions.
Looking at the strange reports handed to her by her subordinates, such as "plants are growing faster," "knee injuries have fully healed," and "clothes drying in the sun haven't gotten wet," even someone as known for her intelligence was momentarily speechless.

Judging solely from the outcome, this bizarre flood and the dragon lizards that emerged from the ground seem as if they never existed.
It submerged Haiqi Island in the form of water, and then completely decomposed into elements and disappeared from the ground.
Aside from a very few weapons and clothing damaged in battle, this change even healed many soldiers' injuries sustained in battle against the Shogunate army, so overall it was a win-win situation.
"Hmm, they took those water dragon lizards with them? So they really are water-elemental dragons?"

"Judging from his behavior just now, he does seem to have no ill intentions towards humans, just like Dvalin."

The review of these battle reports was not kept secret from the friendly forces nearby; a certain white fluffy creature flying in the air also watched for quite some time.
Most of the vivid image of that giant dragon in my mind had faded away.
But perhaps because she and Ying had slightly better memories than ordinary people, they vaguely remembered that the figure had a conspicuous platinum crown on its head.

"Ying, what do you think? The water dragon seems exceptionally powerful."

I can't forget that suffocating feeling of being able to manipulate the world at will, with all the elements around me unconditionally submitting to it.

Convinced that this scene was even more awe-inspiring than the Dvalin they had previously witnessed, Paimon felt that the power of the water dragon seemed somewhat excessive.

"Indeed very strong. Too much of the opponent's memory has been lost, so I cannot judge the level of their power."

"However, if I had to make a judgment, although it may not be accurate, I think Wuxiang's single strike probably wouldn't have been able to defeat that giant dragon just now."

Even though the opponent didn't actually make a move, but merely glanced down from above the clouds and casually stirred up the ocean currents to take away her familiars, that unrelated power level was something she genuinely found difficult to match.

Judging from that final blow last time, a full-force attack from Wuxiang could probably easily slice an island in two, and might even be able to cut through things that aren't actually solid.

But compared to the feeling of the world being momentarily silenced, Ying felt that what this "water dragon" was showing was really quite special.

"—Huh? Really?!"

"If we can find a way to locate the other party and establish a good relationship, then we won't have to worry about the general who's chasing us."

Having been wanted by the gods for a long time, the white-furred ball of fur finally came up with a way to break the deadlock. Its eyes lit up.
She was extremely confident in her gift-giving skills, believing that if she could meet the other party, her and Ying's safety during their trip to Inazuma would definitely be greatly improved.

"If it is possible, please try it as much as you can. Haizhi Island will also provide assistance to you."

"But judging from the current situation, while that water dragon doesn't seem to harbor much malice towards humans, it's probably the type that doesn't want to interfere with the outside world."

The changes on Haiqi Island can be broadly summarized as "eliminating the impact."

The other party neither attacked humans nor showed any desire to communicate; it simply took the group of dragon lizards away.

Although witnessing such superhuman divine abilities indirectly led to a decline in the resistance's confidence in fighting the general,

But the ocean current also allowed all the wounded soldiers of the resistance to heal and return to the battlefield.

With morale fluctuating, Shin-kai felt that the other party seemed to intend to observe everything that was happening in Inazuma from the sidelines.

"Hmm, that seems to be the case. It might be difficult to persuade them to help."

The facts in the battle report were clear, and Xin Hai's analysis was rarely wrong.
Paimon's expression suddenly fell as he realized that his plan to have the Water Dragon protect him might not be so easy to succeed.

"—Oh, right!"

"Speaking of which, according to the battle report just now, wasn't there a priestess among those dragon lizards? Was she also a priestess from your Coral Palace?"

"If you still have this kind of relationship, maybe it's not impossible to find a way to see each other."

Having essentially followed the entire process of the dragon lizard invasion, Paimon hadn't forgotten the special priestess who led the dragon lizards in the report.
Thinking that the person in front of him also had the title of "Human God Priestess", Paimon felt that there might be some connection between them. "Unfortunately, according to the name they gave me, even though I have looked through the names of priestesses in the Coral Palace throughout the ages, I have not found this priestess named Agi."

"Moreover, in the very beginning, the enemy did indeed lead their dragon lizards to attack our soldiers, even causing considerable casualties."

Considering the soldier's report about her "lizard-like pupils," she probably really doesn't have much to do with our Haigi Island.

She was also incredibly hopeful that this was the priestess of their island, Haiji, but considering the reality, she could only give a negative answer.

"Hmph, if I had to say, according to an ancient legend, individuals with such narrow pupils have appeared in history."

"In the history of Coral Palace, the Sea Goddess Omikami once had three retinues: the Earth Guardian who protected the islands, the Coral Palace Priestess who was said to have been born from a pearl, and the Sea Goddess Inspector who was half-human and half-snake."

"Thousands of years ago, the last recorded Sea God Inspector disappeared as an infant. According to the records, she was abducted by the Dragon Lizard tribe on the outskirts of the Abyss Palace."

They had a general idea in mind and were basically certain of the other party's identity.

But after all, I wasn't there when the conflict occurred, and now the rebels on Haiqi Island aren't all native residents who believe in the serpent god.

Upon learning that the priestess named Agi had tried to communicate with the soldiers but ultimately failed to gain their trust due to the restless dragon lizards around her, Shinkai couldn't help but sigh slightly, deeply regretting the current outcome.

"This is your last companion. Go check if there's anything missing."

"In present-day Teyvat, the environments of Umijima Island and Fuchigami Palace are considered very suitable for the survival of dragon lizards."
Whether it's capturing dragon lizards to cultivate blood-branch corals to eliminate "sacred soil," or the large-scale appearance of floating spirits near Haiqi Island, both are manifestations of elemental enrichment.

In the center of Yuanxia Palace, below the Imperial Palace of the Sun.

Numerous dragon lizards, their bodies covered in crimson coral, lay prostrate on the ground, welcoming the "king" who had rescued them with absolute reverence.
The two leaders at the very front of the group were exceptionally powerful, their auras alone being no weaker than the Ancient Rock Lizards of Liyue.

The main body was still calming the aftershocks in the middle of the ocean, so it brought Agi here in the form of an elemental incarnation.

After carefully sensing the unique environment of Yuanxia Palace where the power of the Light Realm, the power of the Human Realm, and the power of the Void Realm coexist, Lin Feng also drew his own conclusions.

That's all. Thank you for your kindness.

"I am truly sorry that you had to come personally to rescue your companion."

Speak in a calm tone and with a respectful attitude.

A voice, quite different from the previous one, came from beside the glowing figure.

The dragon lizards that had followed them all the way here looked up at their priestess, their gazes filled with confusion at the drastic changes they had undergone.

—Long, jet-black hair spread to her waist, and a pair of tender dragon horns, like blue crystals, grew from the previously somewhat empty area above her ears. Even the aura of the Sea God Imperial Censor, which was incompatible with the dragon lizard, now made them feel unconsciously close to her.

Aside from the general human form, beneath the newly emerging dragon horns, Aqi's originally narrow, snake-like eyes were retained, but perhaps the loneliness of being an outsider had completely vanished from her heart.

At this moment, the girl's eyes shifted, the cold impression of snake eyes replaced by a gentle and serene golden pupil.

"Can you get used to how you are now?"

"When race changes, the various abilities one is born with also change."

"As an individual newly hatched from an 'egg,' although the regression in your appearance isn't severe, under the current laws, you still have a long time before you're fully grown."

As a follower of the demon god, the Sea God's lifespan is exceptionally long.

Born before Orobas died, Agi has lived for so many years, and her growth stage and appearance are probably just at the stage of adulthood.

However, a complete and side-effect-free racial change is naturally best started from scratch, and this method also offers the greatest potential for development.
Faced with the only non-idiot dragon lizard under his command, Lin Feng chose to use the power of his authority to make it re-emerge from the egg, thus getting closer to the first generation of dragons born from the primordial womb.

"It feels like my height has returned to what it was hundreds of years ago, my field of vision is slightly lower, but my strength has increased a lot."

"Based on your previous instructions, do you want me to lead the tribe to evolve into a state similar to my current one?"

Judging from the age of its new bloodline, it is probably just hatched, but its appearance has only regressed to the "sub-adult" stage.
Looking down at herself through the seemingly oversized blue and white shrine maiden robes, she realized how she looked now.
Although it was just a vague guess, judging from her own posture and the posture of the incarnation in front of her, Agi could feel that a form that seemed to be somewhere between a human and a dragon was more in line with the "King's" aesthetic.

"...It doesn't necessarily mean everyone has to become like you. For now, just get used to the existence of humans."

"Don't rush into changing their form right now. First, try your best to make these guys a little smarter."

"Comparatively speaking, the Grass Elemental Dragon's familiars are more experienced in evolution."
The Water Kingdom not only has other groups of dragon lizards, but also a single water dragon lizard that has undergone a metamorphosis on its own.

"Wait a little longer. I will create a new, element-rich, independent space in the Abyss Palace for you to live in. After I finish the work at hand, I will take you to exchange experiences with other members of your race."

I'm reminded of that water dragon lizard from Vilette's side, which, in order to cater to its own dragon king's aesthetic sense, directly mimicked a Melusin, and it even seemed to be quite intelligent.

Although Lin Feng didn't expect these guys to integrate into the country's work as perfectly as Meilushin in a short time, it was still necessary to at least try to improve their intelligence and get out of their current state of clear-headedness.

"."

"Understood, if that's what you expect."

With a slight bend, she accurately read out the word "not necessarily" in the appearance requirement. Aqi, who had a pair of small pointed horns on her head and looked like a dragon girl, made a serious promise with a sense of mission.

Lin Feng:? ? ?
What did I expect? I'm not Nautilus. Even if you don't look like me, I won't ignore you.

I have a feeling that the dragon lizard I just sculpted seems to have misunderstood me.
Looking at the other person's very serious expression, Lin Feng suddenly felt that his aesthetic sense and character had been greatly misunderstood.
