C158 Torstel Was a Dragon
She and Nicholas Yevic signed an equal contract written in the ancient dragon language.
After the contract was signed, it was because of the huge difference in strength between Riko and Nicholas Yevic. This caused Nicholas Yevic's level to increase by two levels the moment the equal contract took effect, and he jumped from Ninth Rank Level 4 to Ninth Rank Level Six.
Although it was only two grades, in the realm of Titled Devil Instructor, every Level 1 had a heaven and earth shaking difference.
There were even some mages who suggested that the level system should be seventeen levels instead of the current nine levels.
Although this power was only temporarily increased under the effect of the Equal Contract, if one day, any party wanted to tear apart this contract, its level would fall back to its previous state.
But this power was also enough to make Nicholas Yevic completely break free from the enchantment that bound it and walk out of the dark hall.
"What's your name?"
On the last section of the road to the mountaintop, Riko stood on Nicholas Yevic who was spreading his wings and wanting to fly. She tilted her head and thought.
The white dragon was like a newborn baby that had just received a new life. It opened its eyes wide and looked at the world curiously.
The sky was deep blue, and there was no cloud at all. Under the sky was a white sea of clouds and snow.
The sun was very dazzling.
Although Nicholas Yevic had grown to the size and age of an adult, he had always been trapped in the hall and had never been to the outside world.
As a dragon, it was naturally impossible to fly in such a small place.
Therefore, he was still trying his best to fly.
However, flying was an innate ability and characteristic that was carved into the bloodline of a dragon. In just a few minutes, Nicholas Yevic could already flap his wings and circle in the air.
He let out a long dragon's roar in the distance. It looked like he was in a good mood.
After all, Nicholas Yevic had only seen the scenery outside in other people's memories.
"I can't just call you by my real name, right? I have to give you a name."
Riko blinked.
She had never been good at naming.
Because Riko could not think of what title she should take, she did not participate in the Titled Devil Instructor level certification.
Even if it was the light magic that she invented not long ago, she had thought about it for a long time, but still did not know what to name this magic.
Riko thought for a long time.
Her thoughts unconsciously drifted back to those days when she was still on Earth.
Riko had a pet when her parents were still alive.
It was a cat.
But later on, because of the change in the family.
Riko's father went crazy for some reason. He held a kitchen knife and killed someone on the street. Then, he was caught by the police and sentenced to death.
The death penalty in Japan was not immediately carried out, but at that time, this matter was very big. It had been released on television.
In a small rural area in the capital city of Tokyo where Riko was at, this kind of thing could be considered very serious. At least the surrounding people knew about Riko's father's crime.
Because her mother could not bear this kind of pressure and other people's strange gazes, she chose to jump down from the tall building.
That cat also did not have a good ending.
If Riko did not come here, perhaps her ending would be the same.
She did not want to think too much about the past.
Even if Riko's father's case had many suspicious points - for example, that man was usually polite in his life. He had always been responsible, disciplined, and strict, standard Japanese male image. No matter how one thought about it, it was impossible for such a person to commit the crime of cutting people with a kitchen knife.
There was also that kitchen knife. Actually, it was the same as the kitchen knife Riko had brought to Alien World.
But Riko felt that she probably could not figure out what kind of shady business was involved.
She remembered that her father liked Russian literature very much, so the bookshelf in their small house was once filled with all kinds of thick books.
The cat's name also came from the name of the author on the cover of one of the novels that looked very complicated.
Dostoyevsky.
Riko called the cat that way.
She suddenly had an idea.
"Why don't you call me Lifu Tolstoy?"
Nicholas Yevic. Oh, no, it was Lifu - Nicholas Yevic - Tolstoy now. He did not understand the Aldran language, but Riko's words had already been transmitted into his mind through telepathy.
He answered softly, indicating that he had heard her.
It flapped its wings and returned to Riko's side.
Although the others present probably did not know about this Russian scholar, Riko still felt a little happy about the increase in her naming talent.
The changes brought about by the Equal Contract did not only allow the Tolstoy to grow from Ninth Rank Level 4 to Level Six.
It also gave rise to an indescribable special feeling between it and Riko.
In simpler terms, they used magic to add 20 points of favorable impression towards each other.
"Tolstoy, can you turn into a human?"
Riko thought about it and raised this question.
White Dragon shook his head, indicating that he could not.
"Where did you hear that dragons can transform into human form..."
"It's written like this in the books. So it's not possible?"
In fact, it was definitely not possible.
Subsequently, the Tolstoy very vividly explained to Riko why it was not possible.
"We dragons don't have spatial attributes, so it is impossible for us to have a space that can be folded. If we want to transform into a human, theoretically, we can change our size. But in terms of mass, I can't throw away the extra mass... "
"That's why there's no such thing."
Riko combed the hair on the Tolstoy's neck and did not reply.
She suddenly thought of something and turned her head to look in Undead Lady's direction.
"Now we have also walked to the top of the mountain. Do you need our help with anything?"
They were indeed not far from the peak. Riko could clearly see the snow on top of the mountain reflecting the light of the sun. It was exceptionally bright.
Undead Lady looked into her eyes and bit her lips.
When Riko faced the Frost Fortress, the blow that cut open the sky was still in her head.
It was the last strongest protector. She did not know why this White Dragon was subdued by her. If she did not seize this opportunity, the next time she met such a powerful sorcerer, it might take a very, very long time. Undead Lady used such a reason in her heart to convince herself.
She composed herself and took a deep breath.
"I do have a favor to ask of you..."
Riko asked her doubtfully.
"What is it?"
Undead Lady pointed at her own head with utmost seriousness.
"Please kill me."
