There is no way the Liberian girl could lay eggs!

Catching up with Talia, Tallulah grabbed the little one who was ready to challenge herself.

"What? If you don't go now, Alina will be gone!"

Looking back in confusion, Talia tried to free her hand from Tallulah's grip, but her strength was too weak to break free.

Helplessly, Talia could only stand there obediently, waiting for Tallulah to give her an explanation.

"Don't worry! The way to the exit is difficult to walk. Alina won't be able to get far in a short time!"

Using her fingers to lift the corners of Talia's drooping mouth, Tallulah took out three small bottles from her arms, pinched them between her fingers, and shook them in front of Talia as if showing off.

She was worried about Talia going out alone. Since she agreed, she must have made arrangements to protect Talia.

"Here! Take a bite and suck it for a few times. I'll leave you some as a backup so you don't have to stand there and watch helplessly when you encounter danger."

Bending her other fingers back, Tallulah poked Talia's smooth face with her index finger, drawing circles on it.

She will stay here all day today, so there is no need for force. Since Talia is going out, why not just exchange them so that Talia can protect herself.

"Oh..."

Opening her mouth and holding Tallulah's finger, Talia found the most vulnerable spot with her teeth, then used all her strength to bite it hard!

"Bite harder? Why are you licking her?"

The itchy feeling on her fingers made Talula want to play, so she deliberately pressed Talia's little tongue with her fingers and moved it playfully twice.

"Ugh! What are you doing!?"

Talia spit out Tallulah's tongue in embarrassment and angrily stepped on Tallulah's foot. The low heel of her boot crushed Tallulah's toes hard.

"Sorry, sorry! Stop making trouble, drink quickly and go after Alina. If you delay any longer, Alina might get away!"

Tallulah cut a small cut on her hand with a long sword, and without waiting for Talia to react, she directly stuffed the bleeding finger into Talia's mouth.

Sucking subconsciously, Talia's Originium skill automatically took effect, and a constant stream of power surged out of her body.

At the same time, her chest began to emit a faint glow, but because her clothes were thick and it was daytime, it was not very obvious.

After Talia finished drinking, Tallulah filled the other three small bottles and carefully put them into Talia's bag. Then she took off the long sword from her waist and tied it behind Talia's back.

"Listen to Alina outside, okay? Don't run around. If you see bad guys, just fight them off. One more thing..."

Tallulah gave instructions like an old nanny, and finally helped Talia tidy up her clothes.

"I know! Stop talking!"

Talia waited until Tallulah finished cleaning up, then quickly turned and ran away.

Tallulah is so scary when she keeps nagging!

She didn't want to stay here any longer!

Volume 3: Chapter 97: Tallulah asked me to follow you

Alone on the rugged road, Alina struggled to cross a narrow intersection with piles of stones and continued to move forward.

In order to prevent this place from being discovered, Tallulah specially organized people to place some large stones and other things at the door to cover it up and use it as a shelter.

This certainly blocks the people outside, but if the people inside want to go out, they must overcome these obstacles to see the sunlight outside.

The basket hanging on her arm and the clothes she was wearing became the biggest obstacles for Alina to go out. If she didn't pay special attention, the long skirt would scratch on the stones and it would be terrible if it got damaged!

This was the dress that Tallulah gave her. Although Tallulah had given it to her, Alina, who was kind-hearted, did not accept it. In her eyes, it was just something she borrowed.

"Oh! Let's try to talk to Miss Talia after weaving the gift! Maybe it will be better that way."

Even though she was rejected by Talia and the two of them didn't even talk to each other, this did not shake Alina's desire to "reconcile" with Talia.

At least... I can offer a sincere apology in person, right in front of her.

Lifting up her skirt, Alina carefully stepped over the obstacle, her shoes stepping on the uneven ground, and walked out step by step.

As we approached the exit, we could already see some snowflakes on the ground. They piled up on the rocks and collided with the hot air in the canyon. They melted and then froze into ice, creating an obstacle for this last section of the journey.

Putting the basket on a rock beside her, Alina held onto the protruding gravel on the rock wall with both hands and tentatively stepped on a stone covered with ice.

Step on it~

After testing the stone twice with her feet to make sure it was stable, Alina moved her body over.

Using this method, Alina overcame several obstacles in succession and was about to get out when an accident happened.

Small stones are randomly grouped together, and thin ice connects them together, but it is only a very thin layer of ice, which will break if stepped on lightly.

The smooth operation reduced Alina's vigilance to the lowest level, and she wiped it off after a simple test.

The not-so-solid stone broke instantly, Alina slipped, and she fell uncontrollably on her back. Her fingers waved around in panic, trying to grab anything that could steady her body.

But there were only some flat stones around her, which could not provide any help at all.

Although the gravel beneath her was not particularly sharp, given the way Alina fell, if she hit the back of her head, the lightest injury would be having to lie in bed for a while.

Just as Alina fell into despair and could only watch the rock above her head getting farther and farther away from her, a strong arm stretched out from behind, took her hand, and used his body to support her.

The expected pain did not come, instead she fell into something soft. Alina opened her eyes in confusion, but saw a scene that made her laugh and cry.

Talia, with a frightened look on her face, clenched her teeth, closed her eyes and leaned back, but used her legs to cushion the ground to provide her with protection.

Talia, who was always so lively and arrogant in front of Tallulah and Froststar, showed a different side of herself in front of Alina.

She was obviously terrified, but she had to step forward because she was worried that Alina would get hurt, which made her feel very conflicted.

At such close range, Alina could even see Talia's eyelashes trembling slightly with fear.

"Is it alright? If you're ready, please get up first!"

Because she was too scared, Talia even used honorifics. The clothes they wore made them look extremely incongruous. Talia, who was supposed to be the master, had a look of fear on her face, while Alina, who was supposed to be the servant, was enjoying Talia's lap with peace of mind.

soft.

"I'll be up soon, Miss Talia."

Unlike the others, Alina was not as obsessed as she was. After a moment of daze, she quickly got up and pulled up Talia who was kneeling on the ground.

My knees hurt!

Bending over and supporting her knees with both hands, Talia kept rubbing them to relieve the slight pain.

The scene just now was so dangerous that Talia didn't have time to think. By the time she reacted, she was already kneeling on the ground.

This is a completely subconscious reaction, an example of the body moving faster than the brain.

"Is Miss Talia hurt?"

Deliberately putting some distance between herself and Talia, Alina brushed off the dust on her clothes. Talia's action of rubbing her knees attracted her attention.

After all, she saved her once, so she had to go up and show some concern. However, considering Talia's special attitude towards her, Alina kept her distance even when she was just asking.

"It's okay...it will be fine in a moment..."

After rubbing it a few times, the pain in her knee disappeared. Thanks to the red dragon's strong physical fitness, Talia only felt pain at the beginning, and after a few seconds, the pain disappeared completely.

"Ms. Talia, is there anything you need to bring? Please tell me! I will do my best to help you find it!"

With a gentle smile on her face, Alina showed a kind attitude even when facing Talia, with whom she had a bad relationship.

She didn't know why Talia came out, but the opportunity to talk to Talia meant that the relationship between them had not been completely broken to the point where it could not be repaired.

It’s a good start.

"No, nothing! It's just..."

Waving her hand to indicate that she had nothing to bring, Talia was about to take out the speech she had prepared earlier, but the words got stuck in her throat.

As if she had lost the ability to speak, Talia just waved her arms there, and she was so nervous that she couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

Speak! Speak!

Say everything you just prepared!

Whipping herself up, Talia forced her body to react, but her "illness" was much more serious than she had imagined.

Her body began to tremble, her lips pressed tightly together, Talia was never able to act normally in front of the female Elafia.

"Well, I won't bother you any more. Thank you very much, Miss Talia! If there's anything else, you can tell Tallulah and have her tell me. It's okay."

The considerate Alina took a few steps back to give Talia enough space. After saying a few words to Talia, she prepared to turn around and leave.

Click!

The sound of metal clashing behind her made Alina stop.

She was very familiar with this voice. It was the sound of the long sword that Tallulah carried.

Following the sound, Alina was surprised to find that Talia, who had just been standing there, had taken a step forward and moved closer to her.

Is there something wrong?

Alina was very confused and didn't dare to go forward to ask, for fear of scaring Talia, but Talia's strange reaction also made her puzzled.

Just as she was wondering, Talia, who had been silent all the time, finally spoke her second words since she came here.

"T-Tallulah asked me to follow you! She said you could take me out, woo!"

Volume 3: Chapter 98: Melting Ice and Snow

The snow-white and endless frozen ground is the sight of Ursus's longest sword.

It is located at the northern end of Terra and borders the endless ice field, and is inevitably affected by some cold climates.

In the vast expanse of white snow, two figures, one big and one small, appeared. They walked in the snow, leaving footprints behind, which was proof that they had been there.

Following Alina closely, Talia kept a distance of three body lengths from Alina, which was the maximum distance she could accept.

At this distance, she can act like a normal person after adjusting her mindset.

But once the distance is shortened, she will fall into a state of fear, and her true form will be revealed, and she won't even be able to speak clearly.

Fortunately, it was winter and there were not many people on the snowfield, so no one noticed the strange atmosphere between them.

"Miss Talia, would you like to rest for a while? It's still early, enough for us to walk to the village."

Alina thoughtfully arranged a rest time for Talia, pointed to a small black dot in the distance, then found a place sheltered from the wind and walked over with Talia.

Talia, who was following behind her, wanted to say that she was not tired, but when she saw Alina's smiling face, she swallowed her words silently.

Just as Tallulah said, after traveling with Alina for a while, Talia discovered that Alina was not what she imagined.

In her opinion, getting along with Alina was very comfortable.

This gentle person always considers others first, not herself, whether in conversation or anything else, and thinks of others. This is how Alina behaves when she interacts with her friends.

In her eyes, Talia, who was traveling with her, was already her friend, so she naturally had to take care of her.

At this moment, she had no idea that Talia had exchanged power with Tallulah. Her whole body was filled with endless energy, and the heat radiating from her chest was enough to give her a bargaining chip against the cold.

Now, Talia would not have any reaction even if she walked in the snow wearing only a single piece of clothing.

This is the power of Draco, simple and unpretentious strength.

The two walked to the place chosen by Alina and sat down to rest. Alina, worried that Talia would be tortured by the cold, gave her the seat inside and sat outside to block the wind and snow for Talia.

The cold wind hit Alina's body again and again. Even though she was shivering with cold, she still stood firm in her place without wavering.

The maid uniform she wears is more of a decoration. After all, it is for nobles only. In a warm mansion, she doesn't have to worry about keeping warm, so she just focuses on the styling.

Even if Alina put on a few more clothes, it was of no use. She was still cold.

Although Alina's trembling was small, Talia noticed it. Knowing that this person was taking care of her, Talia took the initiative to speak.

"Well, why don't you come in and sit down? I'm not actually cold!"

Speaking timidly, Talia stood up and gave up the position that was burned by her body temperature, and volunteered to go outside.

With Tallulah's help, this little bit of wind and snow was nothing to her. Not only was she not cold, but she even felt her hands and feet getting hot.

Draco's blood worked in her body, giving her powerful strength while also slowly transforming her body.

The Hippogriff that had been dormant in his body for a long time was also mobilized by Draco. Talia, who was originally from Liberian, had a much higher compatibility with the Hippogriff than Draco. With her small presence, she fought with Draco in a fat hand. The two began to compete with Talia's body as a battlefield.

The outward manifestation of the battle between the two is body heat and accelerated blood flow, which is almost normal for Talia at the moment.

She thought it was because she was too nervous and too close to Alina.

The small space left them with little room, so Talia also came to Alina's side. The distance between her and Alina had long exceeded her warning zone.

The heartbeat suddenly increased to a terrifying speed, and blood was pumped to all parts of the body.
