The closer they got to the Elven Forest, the denser the trees on both sides, and the older the trees were. As the hills rose and fell, they flowed into the ravine below. The slopes on both sides also rose, and there were clusters of hazelnut trees on the slopes.
"After discovering that your people had not contacted Black Wing's Nest for a long time, I took the initiative to send a messenger to the Elven Forest, and reached an agreement with your Elder Council. Now, it's time to fulfill the agreement."
The Black Dragon stopped at the shoulder of a mountain protruding from the valley below. His voice was very calm. He deliberately suppressed his voice, and it was far less fierce and hoarse than before. "Let's go back."
This place happened to face the Elven Forest, and looking across the flat basin, they could see the Tiya Elves pouring out of the forest.
"Thank you."
The Stockholm Syndrome was very harmful. Anyway, Garcia did not feel wronged. Instead, she developed an inexplicable sense of dependence on the Black Dragon Lord who enslaved her. At this moment, she actually felt a little reluctant to part with him. "Thank you for your guidance and care over the past few days."
Even Luna was shocked. She lay on the Black Dragon's back, and her eyes wandered between the two of them.
"Oh right, there's another thing."
As Caesar spoke, he turned around and took something from the Battle Lizardmen who came with him. "I'm very sorry that your crown was lost that day, so I've prepared a new one for you as compensation."
It was a crown that was completely different from the crown made of Yanan flowers and agate. The cost of the crown was astonishing. It looked like it was made of 100% black gold, and its shape was like a burning black sun.
There was no need to deny that it also had undeniable beauty, and it was even better than the agate crown. It also matched Garcia's current attire better.
"Take it." Caesar's words implied a command.
Garcia hesitated for a moment, and then found Luna lying on the Black Dragon's back, winking at her.
Thinking about it, it was best not to disobey the Black Dragon Lord and make him angry.
The Elven Queen timidly opened her palm and took the crown. It was unprecedentedly heavy.
"Look carefully, do you like it?"
Garcia looked at it carefully. The top of the crown was sharp, and there was a line of fine lines around the outer ring and the inner ring at the bottom. The lines were more delicate than the most delicate brush strokes. They were flame-like lines, like flowing inscriptions.
However, the crown was not a magic item. The Tiya Elves' senses told her that there was no hidden power in it, and that it was an ordinary item.
Garcia was relieved. She stretched out her hands and handed the crown to the Black Dragon. "This crown was not cheap. Thank you for your generosity, Dragon King."
Caesar nodded with satisfaction and took back the gift. He held it between the first and second hooks, then moved his right claw and put it on for her.
As it was custom-made, the size of the black and gold crown was just right. It fit perfectly on Jacia's fair forehead and tied up her beautiful silver hair.
"It's done."
It was only then that Caesar's words contained a hint of a smile. "Go back and stay with your people."
After saying that, Black Dragon turned around and left with Luna and the Blackwing Clan without any hesitation (he didn't dare to).
Garcia stood there and watched until the Black Dragon Lord disappeared from her sight. Then, she turned around and walked into the Elven Forest alone.
— She was like a queen who walked out from the darkness.
…
"You bastard, tell me, tell me, what did you do to Her Majesty Yufeng?"
After separating from Garcia, the little girl started to make a fuss. She ran around the Black Dragon's head, shook his tail, and pulled the horns on his head.
"I didn't do anything."
Caesar cooperated and said, "I swear I didn't do anything."
"I don't believe you. The way she looked at you was not right. I noticed it."
Sitting down in Caesar's paw, little Luna felt wronged. "Black gold, isn't that your food? You have never given me anything so expensive."
"It's mainly symbolic. It's to prevent Garcia from returning to the Elven Forest."
After explaining for a while, Caesar realized that he had let the cat out of the bag. He corrected himself and said, "It's not some magical metal. Furthermore, when have I not given you anything valuable? Isn't the treasury of Black Wing's Nest yours?"
"This is different!"
Luna was furious. She raised her hand to get the Black Dragon to focus. Seeing Caesar's confused expression, she muttered to herself for a while and then sighed. "Forget it, stupid dragon. You won't understand even if I tell you. I'll forgive you this time."
Luna did not continue to pester him. However, Caesar noticed a flash of silver light. Looking carefully, he realized that the little girl was wearing a small silver bracelet.
This was something that had never happened before. The Black Dragon asked, "Eh, where did you get the bracelet?
I don't remember having one like this in the treasury. "
"How is it?
Does it look good? "
Realizing that Caesar had noticed the details on her body, the little girl immediately smiled. She threw all the small problems that she had been thinking about to the back of her mind and extended her right hand to show the Black Dragon. "This was given to me by Her Majesty Yufeng before we parted."
Garcia's item?
Caesar immediately became serious. However, towards Luna, he still suppressed his voice and said softly, "Come, take it off first."
"Oh."
Noticing that the Black Dragon's mood was slightly off, the little girl immediately became obedient. She obediently took off the silver bracelet from her wrist and placed it on the Black Dragon's open front paw.
"This is a magical item?"
"Yes, this is a defensive magical item, just like the necklace you gave me. However, this is much more powerful. It's a magical item that's close to the legendary level."
Luna introduced as she stole a glance at the Black Dragon's expression. "This item has special characteristics. Why don't … Caesar, if you need it, you can use it first?"
"I don't need a magical item."
Caesar shook his head and then asked seriously, "Does this item have anything to do with the Moon God?
I mean, does it contain divine power? "
This was the key to the problem. A magical item, even if it was a legendary item, would not attract the Black Dragon Lord's attention. However, Garcia was the Moon God's chosen one. Her item might be related to the Moon God, so Caesar had to pay attention to it.
He would never allow Luna to have anything to do with the gods.
It was not that he wanted to restrict Luna's development and turn her into his canary. However, the gods were not something that Caesar could deal with at the moment. He was worried that if something related to the gods happened, he would not be able to protect Luna.
He had already promised Luna that he would not let anything happen to her.
If Garcia really played such tricks, the Black Dragon would not be as kind as he was now.
"Of course not. I'm not a follower of the Moon God. How could Emperor Yufeng give me something related to the Moon God?"
After hearing this well-known question, Luna was distressed and knocked on the Black Dragon's scale. She already knew how stupid the big stupid dragon was, but sometimes she was still fooled by him.
"Is that so?"
The Black Dragon smiled. After confirming that there was no problem, he returned the bracelet to Luna and did not ask any more questions. He lowered his head and walked forward.
So, Garcia did not have any evil intentions and gave a magical item below the legendary level as a gift to Luna?
Instead, he had given her the Crown of Darkness.
These kind races were actually so honest … Their stupidity could infect dragons.
