Tang Dynasty: Starting with Dimo, he was targeted by Li Shimin.

Chapter 8 The Little Guy Who Fell From the Sky (Part 1)

As night fell, the backyard was filled with peace.

Xiao Xiao served the mutton stew on the table—although the bread was broken into uneven pieces, the largest piece being almost the size of a fist, it actually tasted pretty good.

Shui Lanlan squatted under the table waiting to be fed, while Dimo ​​occupied Lin Luo's knees, tugging at his sleeve with his little paws, indicating "feed me first".

"Don't worry, don't worry, everyone gets a share."

Lin Luo tore off a piece of bread and soaked it in the soup, just about to hand it to Dimo—

"Buzz—"

A deep hum came from the sky.

Everyone looked up at the same time.

Above the backyard, a thin crack had appeared in the once pitch-black night sky.

The crack wasn't large, about an arm's length, and its edges emitted a faint golden glow.

It was exactly the same light as when Dimo's evolution path was unlocked during his awakening.

The steamed bun in Lin Luo's hand fell into the bowl.

"This is……"

The system panel popped up automatically:

[Warning: The light energy fluctuations released when the Awakening Evolution Path was unlocked triggered a minor resonance at the spacetime dimension.]

[A lost elf has been detected being drawn by energy fluctuations from the direction of the Carlosian continent, currently traversing a dimensional rift.]

[Estimated arrival time: 3...2...1...]

"Wait, wait, wait—what lost spirit?!"

Lin Luo hadn't finished speaking when

The crack suddenly widened three times in size—

A white, furry thing fell out of the crack!

"Awoooo ...

Accompanied by a howl that sounded very... very... aggrieved,

The tuft of white fluff landed in the vegetable garden in the backyard in a freefall motion.

"Bang!!"

Mud flew everywhere, and vegetable leaves flew all over the place.

Little Owl's cabbages, planted just two days ago, have all been wiped out.

"..." Xiao Xiao's half-closed eyes finally opened completely, and a rare crack appeared in his expression.

"My cabbage..."

Σ(°Д°;)

The crack healed and disappeared quickly after the elf fell, and the night sky returned to calm.

But the backyard is anything but peaceful.

Lin Luo strode to the vegetable patch, brushing aside the splattered dirt and tattered leaves—

A creature was curled up at the bottom of the pit...

A round, chubby little white creature, about half a meter tall.

Its body shape resembles a small dog, with short limbs and its entire body covered in soft white fur.

Its two large, round eyes were tightly closed, and its body was curled up in a ball, trembling.

Its tail was tucked tightly between its two hind legs.

It was filthy, its white fur covered in mud and bits of vegetable scraps.

It looks like a stray puppy that has been soaked by a storm.

Lin Luo's breath caught in his throat for a moment.

He recognized him.

This elf—

He had seen its records countless times in the history of the Kingdom of Locke.

Abu.

The original star spirit of the Kingdom of Roc, a partner of Dragon Star, and the absolute protagonist of the Holy Dragon Knight movie series.

It looks like a cute little white dog, but it is actually the juvenile form of a legendary dragon-type spirit.

The evolution path is: Abu → Super Abu → Holy Dragon Abu → Thunder Abu.

In its final form, Thunder Abu stands 28 meters tall and weighs several hundred kilograms; a single roar from him can cleave through the clouds.

But at this moment...

The one curled up in front of him at this moment,

It was just a terrified little puppy.

"Hmm?" Dimo ​​flew onto Lin Luo's shoulder, tilting his head to look at the little guy in the pit.

Shui Lanlan also came over, her bow bow askew at a ninety-degree angle, curiously peering into the pit.

"blue?"

Abu sensed the presence around him—

It suddenly opened its eyes.

Those were large, round, amber eyes, now filled with fear and confusion.

It doesn't recognize this place.

I don't know these people.

I don't recognize the starry sky above me, which is completely different from that of Carlosia.

"Ouch...!"

Abu let out a trembling growl.

Using all four limbs to push themselves back, they retreated until they reached the pit wall with nowhere left to go.

Then--

It sneezed.

Achoo!

A small ball of flame shot out of its mouth.

Just a tiny ball of flame, smaller than a fist—

It landed precisely on the clothes that Xiao Xiao had just hung out to dry.

"call--!!"

The clothes caught fire.

"!!!" Xiao Xiao is now fully awake.

She rushed to the clothesline with a speed Lin Luo had never seen before, ripped off the burning clothes, and threw them on the ground.

Then she turned to look at Shui Lanlan.

"Shui Lan Lan!!"

Shui Lanlan understood instantly, and immediately unleashed a water cannon—

"Whoa—!!"

The fire is out.

My clothes were soaked.

Along with the wooden table and chairs next to him, and Lin Luo's bowl of mutton stew,

They were all soaked.

"…………"

"…………"

A brief silence fell over the backyard.

Then everyone's (and the elves') gaze turned to the little white dumpling curled up at the bottom of the pit, trembling all over, looking like it was about to cry at any moment.

Abu shrank back, his big eyes welling up with tears.

His lips trembled, and his nose twitched.

He had an expression that said, "I didn't mean it, I really didn't mean it, please don't hit me."

"Awooo..."

(´;ω;`)

Lin Luo took a deep breath.

it is good.

Let's sort out the current situation.

First, the energy released when Dimo's awakening evolution path was unlocked unexpectedly tore open a dimensional rift.

Second, a young Abu from the continent of Calocia was drawn by an energy fluctuation and fell into his backyard.

Third, this Abu is currently in a state of extreme fear.

Fourth, according to the setting of the Kingdom of Rock, the elf Abu is "usually very weak and timid, but becomes very powerful under special circumstances".

Fifth – “Special circumstances” include, but are not limited to: extreme fear, extreme sadness, and extreme anger.

In other words, the little white dog in front of you, trembling with fear, could go berserk at any moment due to its extreme terror.

When Abu goes berserk, he can evolve into a 28-meter-tall being, whose roar can split the clouds like thunder.

In the backyard of Chang'an City in the third year of the Zhenguan era of the Tang Dynasty.

(°Д°|||)

"Everyone...don't move."

Lin Luo lowered his voice and spoke slowly, word by word.

"Don't make loud noises or sudden movements."

Dimo immediately quieted down, pressing his ears to his head and retracting his golden wings, trying his best to appear harmless.

Shui Lanlan was also stunned for a moment, then obediently lay down on the ground, even stopping blowing bubbles.

Although Xiao Xiao felt sorry for his cabbage and clothes, he silently took a step back when he saw Lin Luo's unusually serious expression.

Lin Luo slowly squatted down, looking Abu in the eye.

Those large, amber eyes stared at him, filled with fear and wariness.

"Hey, little guy."

Lin Luo's voice was very soft, as if she were coaxing a frightened kitten.

"You're Abu, right?"

"Ah...?" Abu's body trembled, but he did not back down.

It heard its own name.

In this completely unfamiliar world, someone knows its name.

"I know you're scared," Lin Luo continued, her voice as calm as still water.

"You don't know where you are, you don't know what just happened, everything around you is unfamiliar."

"But you are safe now."

No one will hurt you.

Abu's trembling gradually subsided a little.

But its body remained tense, and the wariness in its eyes had not completely subsided.

Just then, Dimo ​​gently flew off Lin Luo's shoulder.

It didn't fly directly to Abu, but slowly, little by little, drifted to the edge of the pit.

Then he crouched down, keeping an arm's length distance from Abu.

"Mmm."

Dimo's voice was soft and gentle.

The golden wings of light opened slightly, emitting a warm, faint glow.

That was the soothing light unique to light-attribute spirits—

In the Kingdom of Roc, the light of light-type spirits naturally has the effect of calming the emotions of other spirits.

Abu looked at Dimo, at the soft golden light.

My tense body... finally relaxed a bit.

It sniffed the scent of Dimo ​​in the air—

It was a familiar scent, a scent that belonged to the continent of Carlossia.

It tastes unlike anything else in this strange world.

It tastes like home.

"Awoo..."

The fear slowly faded from Abu's eyes.

Instead, a massive, dam-breaking surge emerged—

Wronged.

"Awoooooooo!!!!"

Abu burst into tears.

It wasn't a howl, it wasn't a dragon's roar.

It's like a lost puppy finally finding its companions and bursting into tears.

It pounced on Dimo, burying its head in Dimo's arms, its little white body twitching.

Dimo was tackled and nearly tumbled over.

But it quickly regained its balance and gently patted Abu's back with its little paw.

"Mmm mmm..."

Okay, okay, stop crying, stop crying.

Lin Luo watched this scene, and his tense shoulders finally relaxed.

That was close.

I almost went berserk.

Fortunately, Timo reacted quickly.

He stood up and looked at the mess in the backyard—

The vegetable garden was destroyed, the clothes were burned, the mutton stew was soaked, and the wooden tables and chairs were wet.

Mud and vegetable scraps were everywhere.

Xiao Xiao stood to the side, clutching the soaking wet, half-burnt garment in his arms.

She looked at Lin Luo with her eyes half-closed and her lips slightly pursed.

A silent accusation.

"...I'll buy you a new one tomorrow," Lin Luo quickly said.

"Two items," Xiao Xiao said.

"Okay, okay, two items."

(＞д＜) I lost money, I lost money.

Shui Lanlan silently blew a bubble.

The bubble floated above Abu's head and gently popped.

"puff."

Tiny water droplets sprinkled onto Abu's white fur, washing away some of the mud.

Abu lifted his head from Dimo's arms and looked at Shui Lanlan with teary eyes.

Shui Lanlan tilted her bow and blew out another string of bubbles.

Bubbles fell one after another on Abu, washing away its white downy fur little by little.

Abu stared blankly at all of this, his sobs gradually subsiding.

Then it looked down at itself—

The white fur was fluffy and looked much better after being washed with bubbles.

It raised its head and looked at the blue water.

"Huh?"

It stretched out a small paw and gently touched the bow on the top of Shui Lanlan's head.

The bow is crooked even more now.

"Blue!!" Shui Lanlan exclaimed in dissatisfaction, turning her head to adjust her bow.

Abu shrank his neck, his face showing an expression that said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was wrong."

╥﹏╥

Lin Luo couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the scene.

Okay, even though the backyard is now a ruin,

But at least... the little guy calmed down.

However, the problem is not yet solved.

A young legendary elf from the continent of Calocia inexplicably fell into the third year of the Zhenguan era of the Tang Dynasty.

It can't be sent back.

It can't be hidden.

Moreover, this spirit is one of the most promising dragon-attribute legends in the entire Kingdom of Rock.

It will grow to be 28 meters tall.

Lin Luo looked at his small backyard, which was about three meters square.

…………

Just as Lin Luo was in a daze, the system panel popped up again:

The dimensional rift has been automatically repaired. The lost spirit "Abu" has been added to the host spirit roster.

[Note: This sprite is currently in its juvenile stage and its emotions are extremely unstable. Please soothe it properly to avoid triggering a Dragon-type rampage.]

[Conditions that trigger a berserk state include, but are not limited to: extreme fear, extreme sadness, extreme anger, and... being startled by a loud noise.]

Lin Luo silently glanced at the system notification.

I looked out at the backyard again—

Cheng Yaojin, with his loud voice, is coming again early tomorrow morning.

(꒪⌓꒪|||)

It’s over.

This is really the end.
