Strength 99999 but the Holy Sister

They were very cooperative.

In contrast, the adventurers had much more relaxed expressions - especially the gold medal adventurer Kus.

Although it was Elsa who defeated the dragon and it had nothing to do with him, he just felt happy and couldn't help but smile.

For a year, he had been telling everyone that there was a giant dragon west of the Central Lake, but no one believed him. It seemed that there was no other witness besides him, and some people even thought he was making excuses for the failure of the previous commission. Now that the dragon was right in front of them, even if it was just a magical product of the Age of Gods, no one would question him anymore.

Moreover, now that the dragon has been captured, there will never be such a terrifying creature appearing in this forest again. He no longer has to be worried every time he enters the forest, which makes him feel refreshed.

He just felt that the blockage that had been lingering in his heart for a year had been cleared away.

"Thank you so much, Lady Faris."

Ryan expressed his gratitude to Aisha, and carefully considered his tone, he brought up the matter of compensation.

"—Your achievements deserve a generous reward, Lady Faris. I will submit an application to the Imperial Magician Corps Headquarters."

"Then it's all your fault."

Elsa didn't refuse.

After all, this magical mechanical dragon is a magical product of the Age of Gods that is of great research value. The Empire will also attach great importance to this matter. The reward is justified, and Elsa does not intend to refuse.

She didn't mind asking for benefits from the empire, since the empire was rich anyway.

After all, people can’t work for free, right?

Ryan asked cautiously again, "I wonder if Lady Faris has anything she likes?"

Elsa thought about it.

woman?

No need.

You should flirt with the woman you want yourself. Only then can you be called a qualified woman. Besides, who knows whether those women are the same as you.

——She will never attack straight women. Elsa has her own principles.

"Don't worry, we'll talk about it later."

Elsa acted indifferent, after all, she had everything she needed, and this made Ryan look a little bitter - Elsa felt that it didn't matter, but Ryan couldn't take Elsa's words seriously.

It is easy to understand just by looking at the Sage's attitude towards Elsa. Even the Queen herself has to be treated with respect, so Elsa's reward must be given not only as quickly as possible but also as well as possible. However, the difficulty lies in the fact that Ryan does not understand Elsa at all, let alone her preferences.

Someone as powerful as Elsa naturally has everything she needs. Ryan knew that even if he emptied the entire warehouse of the Magician Corps, he probably wouldn't be able to satisfy Elsa, so if he didn't give her what she likes, the effect would be greatly reduced.

After thinking about it, Ryan quietly found Moira.

"Moira, the teacher has given you a very important task."

"what?"

Moira was immersed in admiring the dragon's beautiful body the previous second, but was pulled back by Ryan's words the next second.

Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she felt that Ryan was going to assign her a research project.

But Ryan just coughed lightly and explained the reward to Moira.

"...You're also a girl, so it's perfect for you to investigate Lady Faris's preferences. I'll leave this task to you. I believe in your ability to do the job."

Ryan patted Moira's shoulder and spoke earnestly.

……

At this time, everyone had arrived at the foot of the outer mountain of the circular mountain range. The forest was muddy after the rain, and there was slippery mud and water everywhere, but they didn't care at all. They took the lead and walked in the front, using lighting magic and familiars to explore the way. Although it was night, they didn't encounter any trouble with them leading the way.

Ryan and the magicians were at the front of the team, leading everyone towards the outskirts of the forest.

From time to time, everyone could feel the vibrations coming from the ground. From the back of the team, the loud noises of trees breaking and falling and the rustling of branches and leaves were particularly clear in the silent forest. Elsa followed the team alone, pulling the dragon's tail, and forcibly dragging the dragon's huge mechanical body forward in the forest. The road was full of trees and rocks crushed and destroyed by the dragon's huge mechanical body. Straight down from the mountain, the dragon was like a huge harvester, and it drew a wide road paved with broken wood and gravel in the forest, which was quite spectacular and beautiful.

The dragon's scales, which once shone with a faint metallic luster, were now covered with mud. From time to time, Elsa's feet would sink deep into the mud. At this time, she would jump up and give the dragon a 180-degree upside-down pendulum, and then continue to move forward.

As for this scene, the people in front had already become numb.

Ryan was very glad. If it weren't for Elsa, they would definitely not be able to deal with the dragon.

Not to mention carrying it - the dragon's body was so huge and made entirely of metal that even one of its toes was much heavier than their carriage.

But in Elsa's hands it seemed easy.

The fallen and crushed trees became the best "conveyor belt" to support the dragon's mechanical body. This wide "road" went all the way from the central lake area over the ring-shaped mountains and pointed straight from the forest to the town of Weilin.

Elsa stopped far away from the town.

"Okay, you guys go back to town first—I won't go in. I have to keep an eye on this guy."

Elsa patted the huge head of the dragon behind her, which made a crisp metallic sound and the mud and sand on it fell off, making everyone feel uncomfortable.

If they hadn't witnessed the dragon's ferocious power with their own eyes, they would probably find it funny right now.

But in fact, if this dragon suddenly attacks, no one present will be able to escape - however, such a thing is like a toy to Elsa, the gap is amazing.

"Then thank you, Master Faris."

Ryan handed the letter he had prepared long ago to Elsa, and then they all stepped back many steps. Then Elsa dragged the dragon's tail, walking, then running, and finally jumping. In just a few breaths, Elsa directly jumped high up with the dragon. Everyone felt that the ground under their feet seemed to be wailing. After a while, the rolling thunder disappeared in the distance as Elsa went away, and the dragon became a tiny black dot, which made everyone's scalp numb.

"Let's go back to town..."

Ryan swallowed dryly. He thought he was used to it - but it seemed that he was not so used to it.

At this time, the town was already in an uproar. On this day, they all saw a giant dragon flying upside down in the sky, and from time to time it fell into a big hole on the plain.

……

----------

139. Isn’t it reassuring?

Elsa grabbed the dragon's tail and ran all the way. The scenery of the plain flew away at high speed in front of Elsa's eyes.

There were many sharp and protruding structures on the mechanical dragon's body, which would occasionally create a long and narrow groove on the ground, but Elsa didn't care about that. She ran at a speed that easily broke the sound barrier, and then faster and faster. She carried the dragon's huge body and passed through the plain at high speed like a peculiarly shaped low-altitude fighter. The sonic boom swept through the mud and grass after the rain, and a hazy mist spread out, which was shattered by the intense wind pressure the next moment.

The originally flat terrain began to rise and fall rapidly at such a speed, like surging waves.

Elsa's running was still steady, but the dragon behind her was very active - it was like a stone skipping on the water at high speed. It couldn't help but bounce up and down on the "water surface" that was passing by at high speed. Its huge body left a series of graceful ripples on the undulating "water surface". Due to its extremely fast speed, it couldn't even fold its wings.

The high-speed wind swept up fine sand and soil, and cut through its body like a knife. Its mechanical body, which had been half-crippled by Elsa, made a harsh sound. Due to the undulating terrain, it sometimes twisted to Elsa's left side, sometimes to the right side, or simply rose and fell and bounced up and down.

Its entire body emitted a sharp vibration, but the vibration could not keep up with Elsa's speed, and could only transmit the shaky wailing through Elsa's palm.

Elsa didn't find it too troublesome.

I have to say, flying with a mechanical dragon is much less troublesome than flying with a person.

After all, the human body is too fragile. If you don't control your speed well, it will be troublesome. After all, life potions are not omnipotent.

In contrast, the mechanical dragon's body, though large, was also sturdy, reminding Elsa of the feeling of running with a dead remote-controlled toy tied to a string as a child. Of course, Elsa was also very careful to control her speed so as not to break her tail - as for the body, according to Ryan, as long as it didn't fall apart, it would be fine.

Because Ryan said so, Elsa didn't care so much. In the blink of an eye, an intermittent line running through the east and west appeared on the plain, with a few big pits from time to time, and a straight arrow pointing straight towards the fortress in the east.

From a distance, Elsa saw several carriages traveling quickly across the plains, heading towards her.

Elsa didn't want to cause trouble to anyone, so she subconsciously took another look and saw an acquaintance.

——Tricia.

There were also several people dressed as church knights, an old man in red who also looked like a church member, and a pretty blonde girl.

Elsa was still wondering whether to go up and say hello when Tricia raised her head slightly and glanced over. It was obvious that she had spotted Elsa, but she could not see Elsa clearly due to the long distance. She could only see the dragon Elsa was pulling. Sure enough, Elsa saw Tricia tell the others to stop the carriage. Those people were well-trained and were ready for battle in an instant.

Aisha couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Tricia was still beautiful at this moment, with long, jet-black hair, clear emerald green eyes, a slender neck, and clean cheeks. Under the well-fitting black long dress, her skin was wrapped in delicate black silk. Her temperament was cool and elegant. Although this was not the first time Elsa had seen Tricia, the feeling Tricia gave Elsa this time was completely different from before. Her cold appearance seemed to be filled with a different kind of gentleness.

In the past, Elsa would not have had this feeling towards Tricia, even after seeing Tricia's body and even sleeping in the same bed with her.

There is a difference between friends and lovers, but now the boundary is blurred.

Perhaps her mood had changed, Elsa thought - Tricia's favorability was 89. If it was a week ago when she faced Vivian, Elsa would not have felt anything, but now Elsa could not help but start to suspect that this favorability might be different from what she had thought before, so she could not help but start to re-examine her relationship with Tricia.

I'm just confused about the extent of the discrepancy in understanding favorability. Where does this favorability come from? Is it a deterioration in friendship? Or has it always been this way? What motivates the emergence of favorability, what is the basis for measuring it, and what are the criteria for improving it?

If we delve deeper, this issue can be expanded to many aspects and become too complicated.

Elsa didn't think about it any further, but turned around and headed straight for the carriage. Although Elsa didn't know why Tricia appeared here, since she met her, she naturally had to go up and say hello, otherwise it would cause any misunderstanding. It was hard to say how an uninformed person would react when seeing a dragon. After all, this thing was indeed quite dangerous.

……

On the way to Weilin Town, Tricia chatted with the saint from time to time.

The air on the plains was very humid after the rain. The morning dew slowly evaporated and turned into a refreshing breeze.

Tricia naturally couldn't feel this way, which made her recall the night she slept with Elsa again - that was the only deep and peaceful sleep she had in more than 30 years.

She was fascinated by the feeling that should have been taken for granted.

She couldn't help but wonder, when she suggested going to Weilin Town, was she also hiding the selfish motive of wanting to meet Elsa again as soon as possible?

The throbbing that had been dormant for more than thirty years leaped in her chest. Tricia lowered her eyes and shook her head in self-mockery.

"Inksa—can I call you that?"

She turned to the saint beside her.

When facing the Saint, Tricia kept recalling the events of fifty years ago - the previous Saint at that time was just as cramped and immature as the current Saint.

The girl known as "Inksa" was the Saint. She nodded nervously. Inksa Vi Sabrina was her name. She was the Saint of this generation, technically the seventeenth. Her surname referred to the Goddess, or rather, represented her. Only Saints recognized by the Goddess, baptized and born under the guidance of divine oracle, were worthy of such a sacred name.

She was born in a small fishing village in the north, into a family as ordinary as could be. Everyone in the village was poor, and if they didn't fish hard, they would starve. When the season was bad, some would be forced to venture into the deeper, more dangerous waters, where they would die every year. It wasn't until she "awakened" and became a saint that all this changed—a perhaps tragic event.

For someone like her, the fact that a legendary figure whom she had only heard of from bards was sitting next to her and expressing concern for her was already quite flattering.

"Don't be so reserved in front of me. We still have a long time to reach our destination. If you're tired, take a rest."

Tricia said.

There is no teleportation array from Dammas to Weilin Town, so it is impossible to get there immediately.

"Thank you, Sage... I'm fine..."

In fact, it wasn't that she wasn't tired. The corners of her eyes were dry and red. She had passed through more than a dozen cities, large and small, on the way through the teleportation array. Teleporting more than a dozen times in a day was already a bit too much for her - she was not used to the feeling of oppression that came with teleportation.

Before she could recover, she set off again for Weilin Town.

It was impossible not to be tired after a day's work, but she felt that now was not the time to focus on such trivial matters. She also felt that since she was a saint, she should not complain about this level of hard work.

She hoped that she could become as great as the saints of previous generations and the sage before her.

At this moment, Tricia suddenly turned her head and looked across the plain.

"Wait, stop the carriage."

Tricia raised her hand, and the archbishop and the paladins all looked over.

"Sage, is there a problem?"

"The ground is shaking."

Tricia said, the Archbishop and the Paladins each frowned and tried to sense, but gained nothing.

Tricia frowned slightly. She had lost her five senses, but had also developed complex magical perception. Her insight into subtle and minute changes was more sensitive than anyone else here.

"Something's approaching, Crow—"

With a soft call, a crow immediately appeared at her shoulder, and the magical vision quickly expanded, sweeping towards the plains in the west.

At first glance, Tricia saw a shocking and astonishing scene—although it was too far away to see clearly, it was undoubtedly a massive dragon, stumbling and surging across the plains... running backwards? It leaped up and fell, its speed incredible, filled with a breathtaking sense of strangeness.

Tricia couldn't help but glance at Inksa.

At this time, any suspicious things that appear must not be taken lightly, because the saint is here, and it is hard to say whether the dragon with abnormal behavior is colluding with the remnants of the devil, and its appearance here may not be a coincidence.

Tricia snorted softly.

"It's a giant dragon."

With a wave of her hand, the crow's vision unfolded before everyone like a canvas, causing the Archbishop and several Paladins to frown slightly.

They all thought the same as Tricia.

Inksha had never seen such a thing before, and her face turned slightly pale. However, she did not retreat. Instead, she took out a white wooden staff in a serious manner, held it tightly in her hand, and made a fighting posture - but after all, she had no actual combat experience, and her posture was very stiff.

"Inksa, just stay behind me. Don't worry, I'm here."

Tricia's voice was so reassuring that Inksha nodded quickly, but still said, "I, I will fight too..."
