I am the Executioner Dragon, but a cute mod

These three short words dealt a huge blow to Amelia's heart. She stared at Lilith in disbelief, wanting to say something more, but was met with another sentence from Lilith:

“You can’t always be like this. That guy is going down the mountain on business. You can go with him to broaden your horizons, relax, and get some fresh air. It’s good for both of us.”

"Waaah..."

Amelia, her eyes brimming with tears, looked pitiful, as if she had been abandoned by Lilith. Faced with an irreconcilable outcome, she had no choice but to let go, yet she couldn't bear to leave, and asked:

"how about you?"

Lilith stretched and yawned:

"Me? I'm a little sleepy now, so I've decided to take a nap."

Then he looked at Sue, who was watching the show from the sidelines:

"Let's go, take Amelia with you and leave, but don't even think about running away. Amelia will keep an eye on you for me, understand?"

Solenoid nodded, and after receiving this reply, Lilith went up the curved staircase to the second floor again. Back in her room, she collapsed onto the bed and fell asleep in the blink of an eye…

Sophie did not regard Amelia, whom Lilith had planted in her operations, as an informant, but rather as a free henchman.

He had witnessed Amelia's power firsthand; even a strong person like him couldn't retaliate when faced with Amelia's beatings.

[With her, my plans will be able to complete the preparation phase much more smoothly, which is wonderful...]

So was relieved, but the only thing that dissatisfied him was that Amelia's performance was too exaggerated, completely overturning all the impressions he had of her.

I thought that Amelia had always taken care of Lilith because Lilith couldn't leave Amelia, but now it seems that it has always been Amelia who can't live without her.

"Honestly, he's just a kid."

So shook his head slightly and came to stand in front of Amelia.

Upon seeing him, Amelia immediately wiped away her tears, stood up, and asked in a seemingly casual manner:

What are you trying to say?

So didn't mention Amelia's embarrassing moment, only saying:

"It's time to go. Is there anything you need to take with you?"

Amelia shook her head without saying a word.

"That's good, let's go."

So had no intention of wasting time. He ignored the snake crouching in the corner drawing circles and cursing Lilith, and left the villa with the silent Amelia, heading down the mountain...

"This is the true feeling of freedom."

Breathing in the long-awaited fresh air, So couldn't help but sigh. He looked at Amelia and saw her with a stern face, as if the air was filled with poison that could dissolve flesh and blood.

So didn't care too much about this, because he didn't need to worry about Amelia losing him. He headed towards the nearest town in his memory while looking for a suitable candidate for his next body.

First of all, the body of the sorcerer is not chosen randomly. It cannot be an ordinary person; it must be a sorcerer. Secondly, the sorcerer must possess a spell with a high potential or a wide range of applications.

Because the spell on this body is an auxiliary spell, the only spell with offensive capabilities will be overwritten after switching bodies. Therefore, the choice of body is of paramount importance in order to retain a certain level of combat ability.

As it happens, the town of "Yunjin Township" has a special terrain, and sorcerers often come and go. Because there are too many sorcerers, conflicts and battles are inevitable.

The body that Suo is currently using was found in Yunjin Township. So he thought he would first go to Yunjin Township to see if there were any good items. If not, he would then try to find those wealthy families with inherited techniques.

The fact that a technique can be passed down from generation to generation not only indicates that the family is powerful and influential, but also that the technique is of a certain strength; otherwise, it would have declined long ago.

However, targeting wealthy families is too risky, and even with Amelia as a henchman, Solskjaer doesn't want to take too much of a risk.

Like last time, confessing his plans and the gamble of the spell to Amelia and Lilith is enough once; So doesn't want to go through it a second time.

Just as So was contemplating the matter of changing bodies as usual, the usually taciturn Amelia suddenly spoke:

"Wait, there's a smell of blood nearby, can you smell it?"

Upon hearing this, Suo frowned. He sniffed and could only smell the fragrance of soil and grass, not the smell of blood.

He shook his head, about to say, "Are you hallucinating?", when Amelia suddenly darted into the nearby woods. Seeing her figure quickly disappear into the distance, So was startled, cursed under his breath, and had no choice but to chase after her.

Amelia was fast, but not fast enough for So to catch up. She always kept a certain distance from So, keeping him on his toes.

When Amelia stopped, a fine layer of sweat had already formed on So's forehead. He glared at Amelia helplessly, and was just about to bring up Lilith to manipulate her when a pungent smell of blood suddenly filled his nostrils.

Following the scent of blood, Suo opened his eyes slightly and froze on the spot.

Chapter 93: Even if the sky falls, there's always someone taller to hold it up.

It was a sizable caravan, consisting of an oxcart, two horses, two skilled sorcerers, and six porters.

Such a lineup clearly indicates an outing by a wealthy or minor noble family. What they were going to do is now impossible to ascertain, as they have long since passed away.

Blood and severed limbs were scattered everywhere, and the狰狞 expressions on the faces of the deceased seemed to warn Zoe and Amelia: this place is extremely dangerous.

So frowned, covering his mouth and nose with his hand. He didn't like the smell of blood, but he was still curious about what the convoy had encountered.

Bending down and focusing his senses, Suo discovered two types of residual magical energy in the air. One of them was gentler and likely belonged to the two sorcerers whose heads had been crushed and whose faces were no longer visible.

Another type of cursed power was extremely violent, almost revealing to him that "my master is a monster."

"They were killed by monsters, not by revenge or robbery."

Having reached this conclusion, So looked at Amelia, who seemed lost in thought.

"Is there anything you want to say?" So asked, sensing that Amelia had something to say.

Amelia turned to look at him, her face expressionless, as if following So was a terribly boring and time-wasting thing. She pointed to the mangled corpses and said:

"Didn't you want to change bodies? There are so many corpses here, hurry up and choose one."

"........."

Hearing this, Suo was speechless for a moment. He glanced at the corpses, some with severed limbs and others with their hearts and lungs ripped out, and said helplessly:

"I'm telling you, you don't think changing bodies is a casual thing, do you? This is a very serious matter, and besides... you're in such a hurry just to get back as soon as possible, aren't you?"

So's analysis of Amelia's thoughts was spot on. Amelia, caught off guard, didn't know what to say for a moment. She could only turn her head away and stare at the sunlight filtering through the leaves, occasionally glancing at So to see if he was still looking at her.

Seeing this, Suo sighed. Although somewhat reluctant, he still went to the pile of corpses and began to check if there was a suitable body.

Although body swapping requires the body to be intact, if you encounter a suitable technique, there are ways to resolve even if the corpse is incomplete.

Cursed power, as a negative energy, is full of destruction and aggression. However, when the cursed power is transformed into positive energy using a reversal technique, its properties are also transformed into repair and restoration.

Using the Reversal Technique on a living person can cure diseases and repair limbs; using it on a corpse can preserve the body's integrity, giving the deceased a final bit of dignity.

There were nine dead people at the scene. Six of the porters had no magical power and their bodies were smashed by the monster's slap, so they gave up on choosing.

Although the two sorcerers, whose bodies were intact but whose hearts and lungs had been ripped out, met the requirements of "sorcerer," when So pieced together their tattered clothes like a jigsaw puzzle, a pattern resembling an iris flower was revealed.

So recognized the pattern. It belonged to a mercenary family called the Frostfire Clan. Unlike those large families, the Frostfire Clan had innate magical power, but in very small amounts. Their family technique, [Frost Seal], simply involved wrapping magical power around the blade to amplify damage.

Although they can bully minor monsters and mortals, the status of the Shimono clan is not much higher than that of a stray dog ​​on the roadside among those with powerful magic and noble families. Most of those who choose to hire them are minor nobles and wealthy merchants.

So, without hesitation, So abandoned the two sorcerers and went straight to the tattered oxcart. Lifting the curtain, he saw a man in fine clothes sitting inside, his face deathly pale. He had been frightened to death.

Judging from his attire, the man was undoubtedly a nobleman, yet there was not a trace of cursed power remaining on him, suggesting he was an ordinary person in his previous life.

"As I said, how could we possibly find a body that fits the description in such a remote place? So let's go to Yunze Township and look for one..."

As he spoke, So got off the oxcart and prepared to take Amelia to Yunze Township. However, after saying this, he sensed an unusually turbulent fluctuation of magical power in the air.

He frowned slightly, immediately realizing something, and was about to call out to Amelia to leave.

But before Suo could make a move, a loud bang came from behind.

Boom!

It felt like a heavy object had hit the ground, causing the ground to tremble. Suo immediately turned around and was stunned when he saw the demon behind him.

Standing two meters tall, clad in armor, wielding a katana, with a crow-like face and a pair of jet-black wings behind him, he is the legendary Tengu, a great demon on par with snakes.

Upon seeing the Tengu, Suohu was startled. Although he could fight the snake to a draw, it would be extremely difficult to win against a monster like the Tengu who had air superiority. Almost instantly, he came up with the best solution.

"Amyria, I'm counting on you from now on!"

So quickly hid behind Amelia, but the huge size difference between them made So's behavior seem inexplicably comical.

Seeing this, the tengu couldn't help but feel disdain. In its eyes, Amelia was just a little brat with no magical power, while Zoro, even if he possessed magical power, was just a cowardly weakling who begged a little brat for protection.

Step, step, step.

Tengu stepped forward, drew his katana with a "whoosh," and swung it toward Zoe and Amelia. The clash of their armor skirts produced a crisp metallic sound, and the next second, the katana was hovering high above Amelia's head.

The tengu narrowed its eyes and swung its sword down.

puff!

It was an extremely crisp sound of flesh being pierced. The katana sliced ​​through the hair and split the skull, and a large amount of blood gushed out like a fountain, splattering all over the tengu's face.

It opened its black beak, licked the blood off its face with its long, thin tongue, and immediately revealed an expression of ecstasy:

"It's so delicious, I think I've fallen in love with this flavor..."

At this moment, Zoro, who had been struck on the head by Tengu, looked extremely pale. He had thought that by hiding behind Amelia, he could witness Tengu being easily dealt with, but this unexpected blow made Zoro question his life.

He looked at Amelia, who was still shorter than him even though he had squatted down, and his eyes twitched. He couldn't help but have this thought:

[How about... we find a shorter body for the next one? Being too tall doesn't seem to have any advantages...]

The moment this idea came to mind, it planted an indelible seed in Suo's mind. It wasn't until Amelia killed the unresponsive Tengu with a single punch, until he and Amelia set off again, and until the two arrived at Yunze Township, that he finally came to his senses.

Fortunately, the tengu only struck So's head and did not sever his neck, which allowed him to use the cursed power stored in his abdomen to perform a reversal spell to repair the exaggerated wound on his head.

Now, So will be searching for bodies tagged with "[Sorcerer]", "[Powerful Spells]", and "[Dwarf]". Under Amelia's protection, So's requirements for powerful spells are not as high, but height is still a necessary requirement—a lesson learned through blood and tears…

Chapter 94: Money Can't Make Amelia Push the Millstone

Yunze Township, by modern standards, is equivalent to a medium-sized town, but its terrain is too special. In this country built in the mountains and forests, it is very difficult to travel between cities.

As a "transfer station" connecting several major cities, Yunze Township is a place where most magicians who want to make a living in big cities will stop for rest.

In this era, almost everyone who could become a sorcerer was quite wealthy, so their arrival boosted the local economy and gave Yunze Township an extraordinary level of tolerance...

In the market, vendors set up stalls, selling trinkets from their hometowns. Amidst their shouts, Suo sat at an open-air tea stall, sipping cheap, coarse tea, his eyes scanning the people coming and going in the market.

Salt merchants carrying sea salt, old men haggling with vendors, and pickpockets with dirty hands—these people have no magical powers and don't even meet the minimum physical standards required for a search.

How much longer are you going to stay here?
