Alicia was a little upset.

At this moment, she was curled up in her bed, with the quilt wrapping her completely.

Holding her tail, Alicia was a little dazed. She remembered that she had stepped on the internal combustion engine and blew it up. Her purple-silver eyes were dazed and she felt like she had lost all hope in life.

She felt that something was wrong with her. She didn't know when, but Bai Yan's image would pop up in her mind from time to time, and she couldn't wait to see him.

She knew this feeling very well, and it was exactly the same as described in so-called romance novels. She just couldn't believe that a silver dragon like herself would actually fall in love with a human.

How long has it been? One or two months is too short compared to the thousands of years she has lived through, but in such a short time, she has fallen in love with a human being and even got jealous of a piece of iron because of him.

Thinking about the first time they met, Bai Yan said to her nonchalantly: "I sacrificed half of my life", Alicia's eyes dimmed a little, she pinched her tail hard and sighed.

"Damn bastard, how long can you stay with me?"

. . .

At Wald's experimental site, Bai Yan took a sip of warm tea, listened to the roar of the machines beside him, and couldn't help grinning.

"This, Your Highness, it moved, it moved!!" Wald's eyes widened, he stared at the iron box in front of him, and said to Bai Yan with trembling hands.

"Yeah! It finally moved."

"It's a miracle! Your Highness, are you really a god? Giving life to dead things is something that even the most powerful healing magic cannot do."

"Don't get excited. This is the power of knowledge. All kinds of things will be put into motion in the future." Bai Yan held the maid's shoulders. The injury on his leg made it difficult for him to stand steadily, but nothing mattered anymore. Black Iron Castle was about to enter the industrial age. Listening to the roar of the internal combustion engine, it was like the drumstick of the times constantly beating.

"Walder, do you know what to do?" Bai Yan patted the old man on the shoulder. Just now, Bai Yan gave a position to this old man who was nearly sixty years old.

He was in charge of the overall infrastructure of Black Iron Castle, and the serfs and most of the craftsmen who had not yet been liberated were handed over to him for management.

"Of course, if we give it a few wheels, this so-called machine can run extremely fast, faster than the best cattle and horses!" Wald looked at the machine that was emitting black smoke and had many ideas in his mind.

"Then you can study first. I have something to do these days. I hope to see your results when I come back." Bai Yan nodded to the maid after he finished speaking: "Thank you for your help."

With the help of the maid, Bai Yan returned to the lord's castle. He sat in his chair, took out a piece of paper and wrote the word "oil" as if nothing had happened.

Although coal-to-oil conversion is now possible, it does cost money, and he believes that there must be a large amount of oil flowing somewhere at the bottom of the dark forest.

After a while, Bai Yan realized that Alicia was missing.

He always felt that something was wrong with Alicia. Usually at this time, she would suddenly pop up and say, "Human, I'm hungry."

But now, something is wrong! Very wrong.

Bai Yan thought about it, then stood up, limped to Alicia's door and knocked.

"Hey, are you hungry?"

After waiting for a while, no sound came from inside.

"Alicia, are you in there?" Bai Yan shouted a little louder, but still no response.

Just when Bai Yan thought there was no one inside and wanted to leave, a tail suddenly appeared, wrapped around him without giving him any reaction and dragged him into the space gap.

It was dark in front of him, but he could feel that he was surrounded by something, accompanied by an intermittent heat.

"Human, is there something wrong?" Before Bai Yan could adapt to the darkness in the bed, Alicia's voice suddenly rang out.

"Damn, you, is this your bed?" Bai Yan was startled, then he poked his head out and sat up.

"What's wrong with you? You sound like you're worried about something." He wanted to go down, but stopped when he felt pain in his thigh.

Alicia slowly emerged from the quilt, her head popping out, her silver hair a little messy, her eyes a little hazy with a layer of mist.

"Nothing, I'm just sleepy." Alicia lowered her eyes slightly and showed a somewhat stiff smile.

"Really?"

"Really?" Alicia also sat up, then after a moment of stunned silence, she said, "Is your leg okay?"

"What do you think? Why are you so nervous?" Bai Yan laughed and put his hands behind his head. "But it's all thanks to you, otherwise it would take a while to build the internal combustion engine."

Alicia nodded embarrassedly when she heard that, and after hesitating for a while, she leaned her head closer to Bai Yan.

Her heart began to beat rapidly, and she moved very slowly, placing her head on Bai Yan's shoulder.

"What's wrong?" Bai Yan was also stunned by this sudden action. "Are you feeling unwell?"

"Yes, yes, I have a bit of a headache. Maybe it's because I've consumed too much magic elements recently?" Alicia's eyelashes trembled, and her face couldn't help but blush. Even her speech was intermittent because of that inexplicable and comfortable emotion.

"I have indeed troubled you recently." Bai Yan chuckled and nodded, then continued: "Alicia, is your space magic very rare?"

"Well, yes, space magic elements are scarce in this world. As a member of the Silver Dragon clan, I am born with the ability to master space magic, and I am also extremely sensitive to space magic elements.

As for you humans, there are only a few who can use space magic, right?" Alicia felt relieved when she noticed that Bai Yan did not dodge.

She closed her eyes slightly, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a peaceful smile.

"Although it's a bit unreasonable, can you do me another favor?" Bai Yan felt a little embarrassed. She was so tired from helping him that she couldn't get up from the bed, but he was still exploiting her like a black-hearted boss.

But what Bai Yan didn't expect was that Alicia just nodded slightly and slowly replied: "Sure!"

"You don't even know what I want you to do, yet you agreed? How loyal!!"

Bai Yan was deeply touched, thinking that it was not in vain that he fed you so much food.

"You, don't think too much. After all, these are nothing compared to what you paid to save me." Alicia snorted, then left Bai Yan's shoulder, trying to look into his black eyes seriously.

"Don't worry, I won't think too much about it. I'm already very happy that you can help me." Bai Yan laughed, then wanted to leave Alicia's bed and return to his government office.

But before Bai Yan could make any big moves, the tail wrapped around his waist, "Your leg is injured, take a rest first, I'll get you some food later."

Alicia said as she let go of Bai Yan, then got out of bed and carefully tidied the quilt for him, then smiled at him and left.

It was not until the door closed that Bai Yan blinked dreamily and murmured, "That's really nice."
