I am the Enchantress!

Chapter 166 The Difference Between Humans and Dragons

"The transformation spell has been dispelled—"

Wilder gasped.

Therefore, even if Talia possessed a system, it would be different from his.

The fact that releasing and deactivating a special ability requires this kind of operation feels a bit unreasonable; it's not as smooth as his.

However, this is not the most important thing right now.

Before he knew it, Wilder had become captivated by Talia's story.

"You have dispelled the spell—"

He said slowly, "Didn't I just turn back into a dragon in the union's room?"

"Yes, I have turned back into a dragon."

Talia nodded. "The guild room wasn't very tall. My body expanded rapidly, and my upper body broke through the floorboards. Before I even realized what was happening, I saw the terrified faces of the people on the second floor."

"They must have been terrified?"

Wilder recalled the scene when he first met Talia in her dragon form two days ago.

It could scare you to death.

"Yes, they were screaming and howling like madmen, paralyzed on the spot, not even having the strength to run away," Talia said with a hint of apology.

That was the inherent power of a true dragon, [Majesty], which Wilder had also sensed.

Ordinary people with insufficient mental strength might even faint on the spot, having no chance to escape.

"Like them, I was terrified, but I didn't know how to turn back into human form, and even if I did, I wouldn't be able to explain it."

Talia lowered her head and continued softly, "I was at a loss. For the first minute, I stayed where I was, my body passing through the two-story guild building, motionless just like those humans."

"Hmm—what about in fifteen minutes?"

"After that, I was attacked."

Talia sighed softly, "Perhaps there were some people in the distance who weren't frightened. They went to the local association and summoned adventurers. Once they arrived, they immediately launched an attack on me."

"Hmm—that's only natural—"

Wilder stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence.

In the dim light, Talia's eyes trembled.

"I don't understand, I really don't understand, I don't understand what happened, and I've never taken this for granted."

She bit her lip and said softly, "They were so good to me before, helping me with my treatment, giving me food, and patiently communicating with me in sign language—my relationship with them was clearly much better than with my brothers and sisters—"

"But just because I changed my appearance, they immediately began to attack me, stabbing me with swords, slashing me with knives, and using those cold spells—"

"I am still me."

"Am I not myself anymore? —"

Her voice grew softer and softer until it became slightly choked up, sounding like she was aggrieved, but more like she was regretful.

The one who feels wronged is the one who gets hurt.

Unfortunately, we are destined not to become partners with them.

However, as a noble red dragon, even though her personality and bloodline were somewhat contrary to her own, she did not shed tears and quickly calmed her breathing.

Only then did Wilder ask, "So, did you fight back?"

"no."

Talia shook her head. "Fortunately, the people who were chasing me weren't in town, and most of the adventurers who came weren't high-level, so their attacks weren't much of a threat to me."

"Of course I won't attack them, I can't. All I can do is leave."

"I first slowly shook my dragon wings to drive them away, then gathered my strength and took off, crashing through the roof and leaving from there."

"I feel bad for them. They helped me so much, but in the end, I destroyed their house and scared the people around them."

"I wanted to thank them, but I didn't know their language, so I said something in dragon language, which seemed to terrify the people on the ground even more."

"In the end, I had no choice but to leave that town quickly; perhaps that was the best way to repay them—"

After saying so much, it's time for Talia to take a break.

Wilder wasn't particularly surprised by the story itself.

Am I human or a demon?

He had seen many similar films about seeking self-identity in his previous life, but he never expected that this time it would actually happen to Talia.

More than any of these things, he was actually more concerned with one particular detail.

At that time, she couldn't speak the common language of humans.

When did she learn it?

How did you learn it?

Is it again————

At this moment, Talia, a girl who usually doesn't talk much, unusually took the initiative to talk about what happened next: "I left that town with indescribable feelings, not knowing where to fly."

"To avoid encountering the squad that was tracking me, I deliberately avoided the forest I had come from and flew in the opposite direction."

"During the long flight, I passed through several small towns, but I spent most of my time hunting in the sparsely populated forests to fill my stomach."

Wilder interjected, "Is it because you don't know how to turn back into a human?"

"No, actually I later learned how to release and deactivate the [Human Transformation Technique]."

Talia explained, "By simply gazing at it for a long time, you can summon the words floating in the air, and you can release and release them with your thoughts."

"Then why not go to town? Don't you like human food?" Wilder asked.

"Because I don't speak human language."

Talia replied, "I lived in two towns for a while in human form, but I found that they stopped providing me with free food and shelter when I was no longer injured."

"I understood immediately that I could only earn money through labor, just like dragons hunt for food."

"But I don't understand human language, which makes it almost impossible for me to work smoothly, and in the end, I can only fail."

"For the next three years, I did not enter any towns, but only hunted in the dense forests and valleys."

Wilder then asked the question that had been bothering him: "So how did you learn Common Tongue later?"

To him, especially after tonight’s conversation, he found that Talia actually spoke the Common Language very well.

In fact, he used many words more accurately than Gru and Lyle, almost indistinguishable from the native humans.

"I suddenly learned it."

Talia recalled, "I flew for a long time and was not far from Ironweave Town, but not in the Border Forest, but in another woodland where monsters were relatively scarce."

"I was hunting there as usual, and I killed a few monsters whose names I couldn't recall."

Then, when I gazed at it again for a long time, the words floating in the air miraculously changed from one line to two.

OK."

The newly appeared line is—
