Chapter 415: Research on the Body Structure of the Dragon
The scene of Prince Jarvan stretching out his hand to block Garen's long sword was clearly reflected in the dragon's huge amber pupils.
Then, as he slowly approached:
"Huh..." The giant dragon used all its strength to exhale a hot breath.
Prince Jarvan was now certain: "It's still alive!"
"Galen, come and help!"
"Okay." Garen hesitated for a moment, then put down his knife and came to help.
The two of them worked together to summon the power of the goddess Janna, and then: "Resurrection Monsoon!"
The green life energy surged with the strong wind and continuously gathered on the dying fire dragon.
Gradually, the dragon's torn flesh began to heal, and its broken scales also slowly recovered.
Finally, the dragon's dim amber vertical pupils gradually filled with light.
Although its injuries were too severe to fully recover, it finally survived the most dangerous moment and was barely able to move.
“Thank you…” The dragon slightly opened its huge mouth and uttered with difficulty: “Thank you, unknown wizard.”
It was a girl's voice, heroic yet gentle.
"Who are you?" Prince Jarvan asked curiously.
“Shyvana,” the dragon said. “That is my name.”
"Miss Shivana...?" Jia Wen called her that tentatively based on the other party's pleasant voice.
"Do you have anything to do with the two dragons that appeared in the Fortress of Lunwall two weeks ago? Why are you so injured? And why did you come to the Demacia capital?"
Prince Jarvan couldn't wait to ask a series of questions.
"This... is a long story." Shyvana let out a hot breath helplessly.
She had originally planned to come to Xiongdu from the East to seek help from the Demon Hunter Corps, but she sensed the presence of her mother Iva reappearing from afar, so she had to keep a low profile and hide her tracks, returning to the mountains to continue recuperating.
And when another week passed, Shyvana finally recovered enough to transform into a dragon again and flew to Xiongdu for help...
Her lingering mother, following the special blood connection between mother and daughter, unexpectedly appeared on her way to Xiongdu.
After a life-and-death struggle, Shyvana was injured even more and was almost on the verge of death before she managed to escape.
Her injuries this time were even more fatal than last time.
If she hadn't happened to meet two humans who possessed rare healing magic and were willing to help her, she would probably have died.
"We'll talk about this later." Shyvana didn't directly reveal her origins. Instead, she raised her huge dragon head with difficulty and looked up at the sky worriedly: "My current posture and aura are really too conspicuous."
"I have to change back first..."
"Hmm?" Prince Jarvan looked at the dragon whose voice suddenly stopped in confusion.
He didn't know, but he actually felt that... the dragon's tone was a little shy?
Is this impossible?
Although dragons are also intelligent life forms, the dragons in Runeterra are just dragons, and they are completely different species from humans.
Generally speaking, dragons are unable to transform into human form and will not come into contact with human society.
They look upon humans the same way that humans look upon cats and dogs.
So...what is there for a dragon to be shy about in front of humans?
Prince Jarvan felt like he had heard it wrong.
Then, the giant dragon wiggled its tail shyly before speaking: "Mr. Mage, can you do me a favor?"
"You say." Prince Jarvan nodded.
"I..." Shyvana turned her head with great effort to look at her huge body, and asked Jarvan a little embarrassedly: "I have no strength to move now. Can you help me take the package off my back?"
"Package?" Prince Jarvan was slightly stunned.
Only then did he realize with surprise that there was an extremely small package tightly tied to the protruding spine on the dragon's back.
No, this package is actually not small, for a human.
But compared with the giant dragon's huge body that is tens of meters long, it is as small as a children's toy.
"Okay, I'll help you." Although he didn't know why the dragon wanted to carry a human package with him, Prince Jarvan readily agreed to help.
Without saying a word, he jumped onto Shyvana's tail, and then moved all the way up to the tail vertebrae, which was the dragon's hips...
"Eeh——" The giant dragon actually let out a strange hum.
"Did I step on your wound?" Prince Jarvan looked down at his feet in confusion.
"There's no damage here..." He was very surprised: "But the dragon skin here is thinner than other places... No, a little tenderer?"
As he spoke, Prince Jarvan squatted down and touched it curiously.
I just felt that the fire dragon's butt was warm, not as hot as I had imagined.
The dragon's hide was thick and covered in scales, but it felt surprisingly good to the touch, like touching a piece of flexible steel.
There was no way... It was also his first time to come into close contact with an elemental dragon, so it was inevitable that he would be a little curious about the dragon's body structure.
Xivana: “…”
Garen's vision was blocked under the dragon's body, and he couldn't see the situation clearly for a while.
So he asked, "What's wrong, Jarvan? Do you want me to go up and help?"
"No!" Miss Dragon Girl glanced at the bad guy who almost chopped off her head and instinctively expressed her objection.
"It's okay, I got it." At this time, Prince Jarvan also promptly finished his simple study of the dragon's body structure and did not behave too rudely.
He quickly took the package from Shyvana's back, then jumped off the dragon's back, circled around Shyvana, and finally walked to the huge dragon's head. He handed the package to Shyvana's sharp claws and said, "Here you go, Miss Shyvana."
"Hmm..." The dragon's voice became shy again.
Just when Prince Jarvan was wondering if he had heard it wrong again, he saw Shyvana gently flick her claws... and took out a loose black cloak from the package, as well as several clothes suitable for girls to wear under the cloak.
“……”Prince Jarvan fell silent suddenly.
He didn't know what use a dragon would have for collecting this thing.
Then, something even more shocking happened:
Suddenly, a burst of hot magical energy surged out of Shyvana's body. In an instant, red light burst out and air surged. The surrounding grass, trees, sand and stones flew all over the sky, condensing into a dust cloud curtain with a hazy red magical light.
Jarvan and Galen were blocked outside the cloud curtain, unable to see the scene inside. As the magic light gradually faded, and the sand and dust settled and dispersed...
The giant fire dragon that was as huge as a mountain disappeared from their sight out of thin air.
Instead, there was a girl with a strange light purple skin, a heroic appearance, a graceful figure, and even the black cloak could not hide her proud figure...?
"This..." Prince Jarvan was completely confused.
He had never heard before that there were giant dragons in the world that could transform into humans.
"You...are you a human or a dragon?"
"I am a dragon and a human," Shyvana replied, "but if you are willing to accept it, I would rather you see me as one of your own kind."
"So that's how it is. You are actually a mage?" Prince Jarvan understood in a relatively easy way.
Then, he suddenly realized: "Just now, I..."
"I have one more thing to ask of you, Mr. Mage." Shyvana interrupted him without changing her expression. It was as if she didn't take what happened just now to heart at all.
"You go ahead." Seeing the other party's serious look as if he wanted to talk about serious matters, Prince Jarvan couldn't help but become serious.
He was also very curious about the origin of this dragon... no, about the origin of Miss Shyvana.
At this time, Shivana said: "I still don't have the strength to move."
"Although I know this is a bit unreasonable, I hope you can help me and send me to the Demacia capital."
Perhaps because she knew how dangerous Demacia was to mages, she emphasized:
"Just send her to the gate of Xiongdu. I'll ask for help there."
"What are you doing in Xiongdu?" Jarvan and Garen were puzzled. "That's the headquarters of the Demon Hunters."
"And you..."
Both of them looked at Shyvana's conspicuous light purple skin in confusion. Her skin color was extremely rare in Valoran, and it was easy for people to mistake her for some unpopular Vastaya hybrid.
The Vastaya are a race born with magic. Ordinary mages can hide their identities and sneak into Xiongdu, but she...
"Aren't you afraid of being discovered by the Demon Hunters?" Prince Jarvan asked worriedly.
"I'm not afraid." Shivana shook her head.
"Why?"
"Because..." Her words were even more surprising: "I'm here to turn myself in."
