**Chapter 30: That Night**
“Sometimes it’s really surprising, what is Lord Fisher’s reason for doing this? Willing to take such risks for a subhuman.”
Ke Lili looked at the large mass slowly descending in the moonlight, a lake, a breathtaking sight that she might seldom see in her lifetime. Beside her, Fisher had returned and picked up the coat on the ground, covering his upper body.
As a result of the burn, the pain from the clothing contacting his skin made him gasp.
“To so recklessly give for that dragon race, what is it that you want from her? The tribe of the dragon race, a slave, or just the girl’s body?”
Ke Lili spoke the latter sentence expressionlessly, scaring the large spider Xiya next to her, who hugged herself and took a couple of steps back.
Fisher lit a cigarette and waited a long time before ambiguously giving an answer.
“Heh, it’s to save the world.”
“.”
But after he spoke the answer, he found it somewhat amusing, and a slight smile crept at the corner of his mouth, leaving the two subhumans across from him looking utterly bewildered, thinking he was just joking.
So far, Fisher had basically confirmed that the red dragon girl in his team was the one mentioned in the prophecy, the **Crimson Dragon Queen**.
She was more special than any regular dragon person; at least, Fisher did not think any dragon would age with such exaggerated phenomena, nor would they have horns like hers.
He remembered when he searched for the **Und** on the Western Continent, only to find that Renee character, who was no different from any other **sorceress**—she just learned magic much faster. It took him a long time to admit he had the wrong target.
But now the question was, since the subject in the prophecy was Raphael, how could he prevent the prophecy from happening?
For example, by directly killing her.
Even if Raphael was already fully grown, with over a hundred spells engraved in Fisher’s staff, he could still manage to kill her.
Fisher tightened his grip on the staff, even the calmness in his eyes was tinged with a layer of frost.
“Fisher, Fisher!”
He turned to look at the beautiful dragon person approaching the lake, surrounded by companions. In front of her, the small Ral quickly ran over wanting to hug him, but he pointed a finger at her forehead, stopping her from moving forward.
“I’m burned, don’t touch me for now.”
“Woo, Ral will blow on it for you, it won’t hurt if I blow on it, hoo~ hoo~”
Ral first looked a bit wronged, then suddenly her eyes lit up as she placed her hands in front of her mouth, continuously blowing cold air onto Fisher’s body.
But the effect was negligible, even making Fisher feel a bit ticklish.
Fisher looked at Ral in front of him and then glanced at the several dragon people behind her, including Raphael, who was avoiding his gaze.
Maybe killing her wouldn’t solve the problem.
Fisher suddenly thought.
The issue between subhumans and humans was deep-rooted, and sooner or later, the most intense conflict would erupt.
What he was doing was precisely extinguishing the hope of rebellion for the subhumans, then humans would completely crush the subhumans, leading their lands to be reduced to property, their lives as stepping stones, their descendants would eternally be slaves and livestock to humans until another powerful subhuman was born to lead them to victory.
But what did he actually want to see?
Did he want to see the human side he represented drive the subhumans to annihilation, like the prophecy described with the **Crimson Dragon Queen**?
If so, if any subhuman obtained the “Human Completion Manual,” then the corresponding demon in the prophecy would definitely be Fisher himself.
Fisher looked down at his staff; there was no brilliance suddenly illuminating and killing Raphael. He just remained silent for a long time, then stood up and patted Ral’s head.
“Alright, now that Raphael is fully grown, that’s good. Let’s go back and rest; we’ll set off again tomorrow.”
He then looked at Ke Lili and the others.
“Thank you for your assistance; we will take our leave tomorrow.”
“Not at all; this is our apology.”
Ke Lili slightly bowed to Fisher, a smile on her face.
At night, in Fisher’s carriage, in the dragon people’s sleeping quarters.
Having lived with Fisher for a while, they had learned how to turn the lights in the room on and off, but only turned them off before they fell asleep. They would now also close the door; anyway, Fisher kept his own room door closed when he slept, so he wouldn’t care about their room situation.
“Lord Raphael, let me see your scales, please.”
“Weren’t you just looking at them?”
Raphael sat on the bed, annoyed by Ral’s pleas, before extending her hand, allowing Ral to excitedly rub her beautiful scales.
“Wooah, Ral wants to grow scales like Lord Raphael in the future!” Ral suddenly noticed something and then shifted her gaze to Raphael, “Lord Raphael has gotten bigger.”
“Ral!! What are you looking at?!”
“Wooah.. it hurts, Sister Mill, Lord Raphael hit me..”
Raphael’s face turned red as she punched Ral on the head, causing her to cover her head and cry out in grievance, running into Mill’s embrace.
Mill patted her head, smiling, “Who told you to be so annoying? Touching around like this after growing up is normal; it’s also a sign of maturity. If it were in the tribe, Raphael could participate in the coming-of-age banquet, and all the boys of similar age in the tribe would show up. With Raphael’s looks, there would definitely be many boys eager to court her.”
Mentioning the coming-of-age event, Raphael seemed to think of something, shuddering slightly. The faint blush where Ral had touched her didn’t fade but instead grew deeper.
She suddenly recalled her earlier reaction, realizing she felt that way towards that human.
“Hmph, by Lord Raphael’s standards, surely no one in the tribe is worthy of her.”
“Exactly, right? Isn’t that right, Lord Raphael?”
Fashir and Keshil sat beside Raphael, wanting to touch Raphael’s body, but as soon as they made contact, she jumped away like she was electrocuted, her face turning red as she looked at Fashir in confusion.
Just a moment ago, she thought it was that human Fisher who had entered.
Then she would want him to touch her scales again, like before.
Wait, why was she thinking this way?
Raphael’s tail wiggled excitedly, and the pink on her face gradually deepened.
“What’s wrong, Lord Raphael? Why is your face so red?”
Mill reached out with some concern, only to have Raphael dodge. She hurriedly reached to turn off the lights in the bedroom, plunging the entire room into darkness.
“Today.. I’m a bit tired; let’s just rest quickly.”
After turning off the lights, she immediately covered herself with the blanket, remaining perfectly still on the bed, leaving her companions puzzled.
“That’s right, today Lord Raphael just turned fully grown and must be very tired.”
Raphael buried her face in the blanket, feeling that annoying human, Fisher, always doing strange things.
But after all, he had helped her a lot and was friendly to her companions.
When the time came, she would just defeat him without killing him and get her companion’s slave emblem back.
