My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 8 This is called Earth

Lucia watched helplessly as the delicious food was put away by the brave Xia Li.

I dare not be angry, nor do I dare to speak.

Living under someone else's roof probably describes her current situation.

Normally, according to the evil dragon's thinking, it will definitely not retreat.

In order to get what he wants, the dragon can be completely unreasonable.

But the key is that she can't beat Xia Li.

If she could have defeated him, she would have pounced on him like a dragon, flattened him under her feet, and then threatened him to cook for her.

Unfortunately, this strange place has no magic power, so we can’t use magic or transform into a dragon.

If Lucia rushed over, she would most likely be pinned to the ground and rubbed by the brave Xia Li.

So, after thinking about it, I decided to just forget it.

Lucia clenched her fists and endured it, then she went back to the sofa in her slippers and curled up.

Xia Li came over after cleaning up the garbage.

Lucia's eyes fell on the hero, and she saw him sitting directly next to her. Although Lucia was still a little sulky, she still retracted her feet and made some room for the hero.

The sofa in the living room is very small, just a double sofa. When Xia Li lived here alone before, he didn't think it was a big deal, but when Lucia came here, he felt a little crowded.

"What are you doing?"

Lucia saw Xia Li take out a small rectangular black box from somewhere and then pressed it lightly.

“&%…&*@#…”

The series of chaotic noises scared Lucia so much that she almost exploded.

She quickly looked around the living room before finally fixing her sight on the place where the sound came from.

A larger tin box.

It is also rectangular, but very flat.

The sound Lucia heard came from this box, and the surface of this box is even more magical.

It actually glows!
"What kind of top-level magic is this!"

Lucia screamed.

From confusion to shock, and then to excitement at the emergence of new magic.

The expression on Lucia's face changed unpredictably. Finally, she opened her mouth slightly, and her bright eyes reflected the fluorescent light from the TV.

Somehow, when Xia Li saw her pure and excited eyes, he remembered the first time he went to the cinema.

I probably had the same expression at that time.

Xia Li felt some empathy for Lucia's reaction. He smiled calmly and explained to Lucia.

"This is television, an invention of the humans in this world."

"TV Chicken..."

Lucia stared blankly at the colorful lights coming out of the tin box. Those lights were more magical than magic. Under Lucia's gaze, they formed a series of wonderful pictures.

"Is it an animal?" Lucia said innocently.

After all, the picture is moving, so it could be an animal, right?

“It’s not an animal… You could say it’s a magic item? This magic item is a bit like a crystal ball that records images. It can play back what happened in the past.

But it does not consume magic power, but electricity." Xia Li explained.

Lucia blinked and stared at the TV in silence for a while.

She had seen many crystal balls that recorded images, but this was the first time she had seen one with sound.

Moreover, its playback time is very long. More than ten minutes have passed since Xia Li turned it on, which is far beyond the limit of the crystal ball's recording capabilities.

"Isn't this a kind of magic?"

Lucia thought for a moment with a sullen look on her face.

Xia Li said it does not consume magic power, but consumes electricity.

But electricity is also a kind of magic...

Apart from the naturally occurring lightning in the sky, all electricity comes from magic. Not only is this magic extremely fast, but it cannot be stored like fire magic and water magic. Electricity magic is something that is difficult to capture.

"Has humankind's research on magic reached this point?" Lucia said in surprise.

It has only been a short time since she last came into contact with the human world, and yet earth-shaking changes have taken place here.

Not only are there skyscrapers that stretch as far as the eye can see, but there are also delicious foods cooked to perfection, bread covered with protective magic, glowing tin boxes, and larger tin boxes that can move quickly.

It really shocked Long!

"Lucia."

Just when Lucia was amazed at the speed of development of the human world, Xia Li beside her suddenly called her name again.

"Ok?"

Xia Li's tone was serious this time, and it felt like he was about to get down to business.

Lucia tilted her head to look over and saw Xia Li's more solemn expression.

"what……"

Lucia twitched her toes.

This hero... doesn't really want that, does he?
It turns out that he has evil intentions!
She had just been given food and his true face was revealed?
No, this won’t work. When human nobles marry dragons, they will at least go through a wedding ceremony. Why doesn’t Xia Li prepare anything?
Besides, she has never been in a relationship before, so she can’t get pregnant before marriage!
Just when Lucia's thoughts had flown far away, Xia Li's words brought her back to her senses.

"here……"

"Not the world you know."

The TV next to her ear was making a noisy sound. Lucia looked into Xia Li's eyes. Every syllable came out of his mouth clearly and reached Lucia's ears.

The magic item called "Light Bulb" above his head flickered.

There was a moth circling around the light bulb, and the shadow it cast made the whole space hazy.

Lucia blinked and tilted her head.

"……Um?"

What is Xia Li talking about?
Lucia knew the meaning of every word he said.

But after putting these words together, she couldn't understand why.

"'Not the world I know', what do you mean?"

Lucia didn't understand.

Xia Li's words were beyond her comprehension.

Xia Li looked into her eyes, exhaled, and asked, "Aren't you curious why you can't use magic?"

"Because of space constraints?"

Lucia thought for a moment and then said, “There is a kind of magic that can restrict magic. It can make the magic power in a specific area disappear, making it impossible to use magic or sense magic.

People in some countries like to capture dragons in this way. Without magic power, dragons cannot transform into human form, and dragons that have already transformed into human form cannot transform back into dragons.

As long as they can lock the dragon into human form, the capture rate can be greatly improved.

Just like where I am now.”

"So, you think you are inside some kind of magic circle?" Xia Li asked.

"Yes!" Lucia nodded with certainty.

Xia Li looked into Lucia's eyes quietly.

For some reason, he didn't want to tell her the truth now.

If Lucia knew the truth, she would know that she had come to another world, a world where there was no magic and could not be magic.

She should feel desperate and scared, right?

The dragon was already lonely, and now, she was the only one left in the world.

If I really can't find the magic to let her go back...

Then this loneliness will accompany her throughout her long life.

Xia Li took a deep breath.

He didn't have the heart to say it, but he had to.

This is a fact that Lucia must accept.

Xia Li not only wants to tell her the truth, but also wants to tell her the rules of human society in this world and how she should abide by the rules to survive.

Now, before she gets to know this new world, she needs to be introduced to it.

She has left the familiar continent of Aize.

"Your dragon eyes can see magic being performed, right?"

Xia Li suddenly stood up from the sofa.

Lucia nodded, and looking at Xia Li's serious expression, she suddenly felt a creepy feeling.

She stood up with Xia Li, and then walked towards the balcony outside the living room together.

There was still rain outside, and the wind on the balcony made their hair fly.

Xia Li didn't care how the rain outside hit his face, he pulled Lucia to the windowsill.

Below the balcony railing is the entire view of the community, and the height of the third floor is just enough to have a panoramic view.

Lucia tiptoed and looked down. The light bulbs standing on the roadside emitted a faint white light in the night.

"Look above your head."

Then, at Xia Li's signal, Lucia raised her head.

There, the night sky was covered with dark clouds, and the lights of the entire human city were reflected in the dark night sky.

Lucia opened her dragon pupils wide, and following the falling rain, her sight seemed to be able to penetrate the clouds and look towards the farther and higher sky.

but……

She couldn't sense any magic.

Even if she was restricted by magic, even if she was in a magic circle, this magic circle could not cover the entire sky, nor could it affect the entire world.

Magic of this range does not exist in the continent of Aize. Even if it does exist, it is impossible for any life to have the power to cast such magic.

unless……

This is simply not the world Lucia knows.

"This place is called 'Earth'. It's my home."

Xia Li stood beside Lucia and spoke word by word.
