Evil dragon has a warm heart
Chapter 208 - 208 207 The Magical Whisper

Chapter 208: Chapter 207: The Magical Whisper Chapter 208: Chapter 207: The Magical Whisper Night fell, and the Cold Spring Point campsite quieted down, with only the occasional inexplicable cry of the livestock.

Consciousness came online, and Gloomy Dreamland descended.

“Ga!”

Little Dream Dragon, wearing little thorn crowns, flew swiftly to Russell’s side, flanked by Sword Butterflies.

Russell stood on his sleeping bag, and compared to the surrounding tents outlined by gloomy lines, he now looked like a cartoon kid just a dozen centimeters tall.

Little Dream Dragon wasn’t large either, measuring less than one meter from head to tail—especially its head, which accounted for half of its body length.

According to Russell’s guess, both were in Primordial Spirit form.

Of course, there wasn’t a definite answer to whether this was the case, since the Sword Butterflies and thorns had all entered in their physical forms.

“Let’s go, Ice Cream, we’ll make a round through the Snow Forest first,” Russell waved his hand.

“Ga?”

“It’s alright, it’ll just take a moment; that Snow Forest is quite small.”

“Ga.”

“Good boy, Ice Cream!” Having soothed Little Dream Dragon, who was intent on searching for the Snow Ghost, Russell set off straight for the Snow Forest.

However, after nearly half an hour of wandering through the Snow Forest, limited by the small range of his Dream Clone, he didn’t find the Magic Light of the Fantasy Beast, nor did he see the Magic Light of any Fairy. It was highly probable that there were no Fairies residing in this part of the Snow Forest.

“Ga!” Little Dream Dragon was already impatient.

“Sigh, let’s go.” Russell gave up reluctantly. He couldn’t delay Little Dream Dragon’s growth since it hadn’t eaten any Ice Pellet Pearls for several days now.

But as they were about to leave the Snow Forest, a familiar, odd murmuring reached Russell’s ears, “That terrible fellow has finally left, hoo hoo. That one carried the scent of that human with pale golden hair. How strange, could it be the same human?”

“Hm?” Russell froze, “Ice Cream, did you hear that, did you hear that!”

“Ga?”

“Fantasy Beast whisper, remember I ate one of those Distilled Fruit? I can hear the whispers of Fantasy Beasts!” Russell was astounded, “But the Saiban Fairy didn’t tell me I could hear Fantasy Beast whispers in the Gloomy Dreamland too!”

Moreover, during every night when Gloomy Dreamland descended, he had not heard any Fantasy Beast whispers before.

Even that nattering Gloomy Black Scorpion’s whispers couldn’t reach into the Gloomy Dreamland.

So Russell had always believed that Gloomy Dreamland was detached from the real world and that Fantasy Beast whispers couldn’t be heard there.

He never imagined that he would hear them this night.

Most crucially, from its whispers, one could deduce that it might already have seen Russell and Little Dream Dragon.

Even Bipedal Flying Dragons couldn’t see into the Gloomy Dreamland, yet a mere Fantasy Beast managed to see it, which was simply unthinkable.

“Let’s search again, Ice Cream, we have to find it this time!” Russell looked around the pitch-black world.

Little Dream Dragon reluctantly continued to fly towards the Snow Forest.

After entering the Snow Forest, Russell patiently directed Little Dream Dragon, thoroughly searching once more, and another half an hour passed by without any results.

“Can’t find it, huh? Just a Fantasy Beast and it’s managing to play hide and seek with me?” Russell scratched his plump little hands through his hair.

Then he had an idea, decisively cupping his hands to his mouth to amplify his voice, and shouted into the surrounding area, “I am the human with the pale golden hair. I can hear your voice. O Unicorn Fantasy Beast, how about making an appearance? I just want to touch your horn!”

Silence.

No response.

After a long while, Russell could only wave his hand in resignation, “Let’s go, look for the green and blue skins.”

By the time he was a kilometer away from Snow Forest, the bizarre muttering echoed in his ears once more, “He almost found me, oh my, this human knows about me, he even wanted to touch my horn, oh my, he’s really so rude!”

“Here it comes, again!” Russell raised an eyebrow.

The Fantasy Beast that whispered secretly in Gloomy Dreamland indeed seemed to hear his shouts.

This both surprised and reassured Russell—if the Fantasy Beast could see him and the Little Dream Dragon in the Gloomy Dreamland, then it wasn’t strange that it could hear their conversation as well.

The next moment.

The odd whispering voice came again, “But I really do want him to touch my horn, I like his light golden hair, but I can’t, humans are too cruel… sss, so cold, I hate the cold nights in Snow Forest!”

Without looking back, Russell continued to ride the Little Dream Dragon on their way, searching for any potential Snow Ghost groups.

But his mind was somewhat distracted as he thought about the Fantasy Beast’s whispers; there was no doubt that this creature was incredibly magical.

More magical than any Fantasy Beast he had ever encountered, particularly since it seemed capable of interacting with the Gloomy Dreamland.

This was particularly important.

“I must find it, capture it, bond with it, to see what kind of Fantasy Beast it really is!” thought Russell.

The Gloomy Dreamland was crucial to the growth of the Little Dream Dragon and must not be revealed.

Even if it was just a Fantasy Beast, Russell didn’t want any accidents—if this Fantasy Beast were to be bonded by another Great Knight, it was very likely that the Gloomy Dreamland would be exposed, and even the Little Dream Dragon could be discovered.

Then the danger would be significant.

Even if the Shadowflame Dragon paid no attention to the Little Dream Dragon, the knights of the Shadowflame Grand Duchy would go crazy over its existence.

“But how do I find it?” Russell was stumped.

This Fantasy Beast could obviously see the Dream Clone, and then hide from it, eluding Russell; therefore, a violent capture would be difficult—not to mention, how could he violently capture something he couldn’t find.

Even with the combined strength of him and Eric, a violent capture might not be possible.

If he told his father Baron Roman about it and asked Baron Roman to bring Ros the Clay Dragon, there might be a chance to capture it.

But by then, the ownership of the Fantasy Beast wouldn’t necessarily be his.

“No, violent capture won’t work… It likes my light golden hair, that could be used to my advantage, tsk tsk, being handsome indeed relies on… relying on hair to get by,” Russell contemplated with narrowed eyes.

Suddenly, he remembered that the Fantasy Beast was always complaining about the cold.

“It’s not that it fears the cold, but it dislikes it. So if I light a fire, could it draw it out? It’s very unlikely; it’s not that gullible. There are plenty of bonfires at Cold Spring Point, but it’s never come out to warm itself by the fire.”

A mere fire won’t attract this Fantasy Beast.

But in a world with Transcendent Power, Russell quickly thought of something, “Metal, gemstones… among the seventy-two metal dragons, there is one called the Wax Rhodium Dragon, capable of producing a metal called ‘wax rhodium’.”

Wax rhodium, a metal very similar to candle wax, is both soft and tough, containing the force of flame.

Armor made from wax rhodium is a very precious cold-resistant item.

Fluorescent Castle has wax rhodium armor, and both Lady Meryl and Lola wear it whenever they need to visit the Snowfield.

“Otherwise, how about I get some wax rhodium to make clothes for this Fantasy Beast?” Russell rubbed his chin, “Though precious, I can afford wax rhodium… perhaps just a little essence of wax rhodium could help this Fantasy Beast withstand the cold.”

The Shadowflame Grand Duchy doesn’t have Wax Rhodium Dragons, so wax rhodium has to be imported from abroad, naturally making the price steep and not something everyone can afford to wear.

But as long as one is willing to spend money, wax rhodium can always be bought.

“If wax rhodium doesn’t work, there’s also the Red Chalcedony Dragon among the thirty-six gemstone dragons, whose gemstone red chalcedony can also keep warm and resist the cold.”

With this in mind.

Russell immediately decided, “Once I arrive at Furious Wind City, I’ll buy some wax rhodium essence and some red chalcedony. On the way back, I will stay here without leaving, until I manage to deal with this Fantasy Beast, only then will I return home!”
