Chapter 546 You've Lost Weight
"You said you remembered?!"
The teleportation array glowed faintly, and Zephirion and Lilith finally walked out. The companions in front had already walked a long way away and were calling for them to catch up quickly, but Zephirion was too busy to care and kept asking Lilith questions.
"I'm not sure yet." Lilith walked around him and continued forward, trying to catch up with her friends.
"So I remembered it! Ha! It's all my credit!"
Zephirian immediately came to a conclusion, his face filled with pride - it must be because of him! She had lived in Gaia like a silly rabbit for over a decade without making any progress, and she had already remembered after just a few rounds of him!
I knew this cocky guy would say that! Lilith sighed speechlessly.
"Before I met you, I would occasionally have some strange dreams." Lilith slowly poured cold water on him, "But I didn't think they were memories before. They were more like some beautiful fantasies, until-"
Lilith glanced at the person next to her with a strange expression, "I actually saw you in my dream..."
"——Is there any important person coming to the city again?"
Not far ahead, Lulu and the others were stopped at an intersection by a convoy that was crossing the road. They had to stop and wait for the other party to pass. Looking at the luxurious carriage accessories, Hannah's face showed a trace of worry. "Could it be that the High Court is here to cause trouble for Lilith again?"
Fortunately, the convoy quickly turned at the intersection ahead and was not heading towards the Magic Academy.
"It's because I saw you that I feel it wasn't a dream." Lilith, who was in the back, avoided the carriage next to her and was still recalling the details with Zephirion. "It wasn't in a melting pot like Blackstone, nor was it in a magical city like Goletia. It was in a... a boundless green forest teeming with vitality. In the dream, you were so small, so small that you could sleep in someone's arms."
The magical streetlights on both sides of Goletia Street gradually lit up with a soft halo, which melted into the black dragon's eyes, and the irritability and arrogance that always appeared on his face disappeared completely.
"But! Something strange is happening."
Before Zephirion could speak, Lilith continued to frown and said, "I even saw 'Lilith' in my dream. How scary!"
"……what?"
"Really!" Lilith said seriously, "I saw myself. Did I always wear green dresses before? Yeah, it must be to fit my character... But, but in my dream I was called Fustwen!"
She couldn't help but grab Zephirion's arm. "Tell me, what I'm remembering isn't my memory at all, but that of the Fustwen you mentioned? Why did the memories of that White Dragon lady come into my mind?"
Zephirion stopped dead in his tracks. He opened his mouth, but his throat seemed to be clogged, and no sound came out. The streetlight cast a shadowy hue on his chiseled face, making the silence seem especially prolonged.
But Lilith was still looking at him with confusion, waiting for his answer.
"Yes……"
——Yes, he hasn't told Lilith yet. Black Dragon squeezed out a voice from his throat with difficulty: "Lilith, I haven't told you yet. I don't know how to say it. Fustwen..."
"Ms. Leila!!"
Jaina's surprised cheers came from the front, interrupting Zephyrion's words. He watched Lilith with an ecstatic expression, pushing him aside and running forward.
"Leila!"
In the gap between the crowd in front, a figure as straight as a javelin rushed into Lilith's sight. Lilith screamed in surprise, rushed over with open arms, and hugged the red-haired girl.
"Oh my God! You're finally back!"
The two sisters hadn't seen each other for a long time. Lilith was so excited that she spun around in her arms several times before letting her go. "Thank God! I knew Melissa would never allow that old man to do anything wrong. You will definitely go back to school! Oh, my dear sister, you have lost so much weight. I have been so worried these days!"
She took advantage of her sister being dizzy and rubbed her little face hard twice.
"Tsk—" Lucas, who was knocked aside by Lilith's rush, let out a wicked laugh. He leaned against the wall and deliberately dragged out his voice to complain: "Don't believe Lilith's lies, Miss Leila. She's been having a great time these days. She even took us on a trip to Blackstone this weekend!"
Leila was held tightly by her sister, her body stiff. She tried to raise the corners of her mouth, wanting to smile back, but her face was so tired from the journey that the smile faded before it could even begin.
"You'll be waiting for training tomorrow!" Lilith glared at Lucas, then turned around and patted her chest to express her loyalty to Leila. "I've really been thinking about you, but I've been so busy these days. Besides, I'm not going to Blackrock for fun, I'm going there for serious business. Oh, look at this!"
Before she finished speaking, Lilith turned her wrist and in the blink of an eye, she took out an extremely powerful giant sword out of thin air!
She lifted the heavy weapon, nearly half her height, like a treasure, carefully placing it before Leila. The hilt was considerably longer than that of an ordinary sword, clearly designed to accommodate the user's two-handed grip.
But Leila obviously had no interest in appreciating the weapon at the moment. Her eyes lingered on the sword for only a moment before she looked away. She walked forward and said, "Let's talk about it later. I want to—"
"Hey, hey, take another look!"
Lilith raised her voice in disapproval of Leila's lack of knowledge. She lowered the greatsword to the floor, grasped the hilt with both hands, and drew it free. The moment the blade was fully unsheathed, a deep, sharp aura seemed to spread. The blade's width and length, far exceeding those of ordinary weapons, and the awe-inspiring brilliance that flashed across its spine caused a passing dwarf to stop and whistle.
The cheering whistle made Lilith very proud, and she looked at Leila more eagerly, trying to let her discover the clues herself.
"Don't listen to Lucas's nonsense, Miss Leila." Lulu walked forward and hugged the little girl affectionately, turning around. "Your sister really is talking about you every day, and she almost spent all her family's money to forge this sword. Don't be angry with her."
This forced Leila to once again look at the giant sword in Lilith's hand and her sister's smug face that was full of "praise me!"
Seeing her silence, Lilith simply thrust the hilt of the sword into Leila's hand and excitedly recounted their two-day trip to Blackstone. "We left in such a hurry last time. You can't even imagine how many good things those dwarves have left! Hannah even bought the Book of the Dead, which comes with a free undead! Of course, we made sure that buying undead doesn't involve human trafficking..."
Leila lowered her head and twisted the hilt of her sword. It wasn't hard to guess what had made Lilith so eager to claim credit. The girl raised her head and said, "...Dragon Steel? You got the Dragon Tears?"
"This isn't just ordinary dragon steel, Miss Leila," Lucas said with envy. "Someone added some incredible enchanting materials to it!"
He almost fainted when he heard the price, but Lilith bought it without blinking.
"Hehe, do you like it?" Lilith took Leila's hand with a smile on her face. She knew that Leila had been thinking about this legendary weapon ever since she knew about the existence of Dragon Steel. Now that she had Dragon Tears, of course she had to make one for her sister immediately, and it had to be the best!
However, her outstretched hand fell empty.
Leila was like a cold stone statue, taking a half step back stiffly to avoid Lilith. Her gaze was like icicles, fixed on Lilith's back.
"What, what's wrong?" Lilith finally noticed something unusual. She had long been accustomed to Leila being upset with her. The little girl always expressed her feelings in such an awkward way, but she could always coax her into submission with a smile and a pat on her fur. But today, Leila's strange look made her heart pound.
"Have you been with him these days?" Leila's chest heaved violently, and every word sounded like ice chips squeezed out from between her teeth.
Lilith looked back blankly. It was Zephirion who followed her. After noticing Leila's eyes, he looked back without any guilt.
An undercurrent surged between the two of them.
"Yes, yes," Lilith answered instinctively. How else would she have gotten the Dragon's Tears? Thinking of their previous unpleasant experiences with the Black Dragon, Lilith quickly explained, "Zefirion has been a great help to us. Thanks to him, Ozler's warriors will soon be able to use the first batch of Dragonsteel. He's, uh, actually, he's a pretty good guy..."
"She's a pretty good person?" Leila's hand, which was gripping the hilt of the sword, turned white due to excessive force. She suddenly turned her head to look at her sister, her eyes full of disappointment.
“You, eh—?”
A blazing flame ignited from the sword in Leila's hand. Lilith quickly jumped back to prevent herself from being burned. She looked in surprise at the full appearance of the enchanted weapon she had spent a lot of money on in Leila's hand.
The guardians' eyes widened. "Wow, this is the Phoenix's—"
"He killed my father!"
Leila's fighting spirit ignited the dragon steel. The red-haired knight held the sword in both hands, and with overwhelming hatred, he passed by the shocked Lilith and slashed straight at Zephirion behind him!
