Chapter 19: Chapter 19: No Spies Here, Just Some Ahoge Jokes
Kay looked at the young dragon excitedly. The young dragon also tilted its head and looked at him. Before this, the two didn't know each other. After this, they basically had no communication.
But at this moment, the same thought arose in both their hearts:
"He/It is definitely related to Artoria!"
Alright, it was actually the young dragon that smelled Artoria's scent on this young knight. In the entire territory of Ector, Kay should be the "playmate" who had accompanied Artoria the longest—although this older brother was unqualified most of the time, it was undeniable that without him, Artoria's childhood might have been much more boring.
As for why Kay knew this young dragon was related to Artoria...
"Do I even need to think about it? Look at its eyes—they're exactly the same as the little Al, no, even the current Al!"
"There's nothing extra, just a full-on desire for food."
"What an idiot... why would you secretly raise such a cool young dragon? Wouldn't it be better to take it home and raise it openly? Are you afraid you can't afford to feed it?"
"Mmm... it seems that we really can't afford to feed another young dragon."
Remembering Artoria's terrifying appetite, the young knight spat. Then, he faced this young dragon, extended his right index finger, and stood it on his forehead, and even swayed it slightly from side to side.
To an outsider, this might be a very abstract action—but the young dragon instantly understood what he meant.
"Is he imitating an ahoge with his finger?"
The young dragon thought for a moment, then nodded—then it sat on the ground, patted its belly with its claws, and pretended to sigh. This was also Artoria's signature move.
"That's right, it's him/it!"
The secret code was successfully exchanged.
No spies here, just some ahoge jokes!
...
Under the connection of "Artoria," the young dragon and the knight successfully formed a temporary team. This was a rather successful match. Although the knight couldn't understand the dragon's language, and the young dragon couldn't speak human language, they didn't even need much communication—most of the time, the knight just pointed a finger at the target, and the young dragon knew what he was up to.
"Get 'em!"
"Let's get 'em!"
"I'll be the bait, you be the ambush!"
Kay didn't say a word and jumped directly into the water. At the very beginning, the young dragon was a little worried about this knight's safety—but when it saw that this knight's swimming speed in the water was even faster than running on the shore, it suddenly realized: this knight was not an ordinary person either.
Speaking of which, in King Arthur's Round Table Knights, besides Bedivere, who "stood at the pinnacle of knights as an ordinary person," there were no real humans at all. This was probably the last romance of the end of the Age of Gods—that heroes who were fully qualified to become legends on their own emerged twelve at a time in the same period!
And Kay, this foster brother of Artoria, and also the earliest knight to follow her, was the first to stand up and support her when no one was optimistic about her, and witnessed the king's great deeds from beginning to end.
"Fight for survival!"
This knight, who was a bit thin but definitely not weak in strength, shouted a morale-boosting slogan while leaping into the water—his swimming posture in the water was like a flexible barracuda, his burst speed in a short period of time was even a bit faster than those water monsters.
"A knight who is good at water combat? That's quite rare..."
The young dragon flew in the sky, watching the water monsters that were gradually being lured to the surface of the lake by the knight. It waited for the right moment, then directly aimed in one direction and began to charge up. There was no need to worry about the attack missing, because he was sure that this knight would definitely lead the water monster to that position; and there was no need to worry about the knight's safety, because he believed that this knight must have a way to protect himself—this was the tacit understanding and trust between men.
"Burst Stream of—Explosive Gale Bullet!!!"
A full minute of charging time had squeezed out almost all the power in Shiroryu's body. But it was definitely worth it.
At the young dragon's current strength, a normal beam attack had to hit the vulnerable parts of these water monsters to have a chance of piercing their defense—for example, by attacking the brain through the upper jaw. But after a minute of charging, the destructive light bullet could directly shatter their highly magic-resistant skin, directly blasting these water monsters to pieces from the outside.
[Ding, you have killed a water monster.]
[You have absorbed 100 Mystery from the water monster.]
[You have gained 10 Growth Value.]
[Current Growth Value: 35/100]
...
A resounding victory.
From day to night, the young dragon and the knight teamed up to kill three water monsters—if it weren't for the fact that there were no more water monsters in this lake, they probably could have killed more. And in the end, the young dragon's growth value also stopped at [55/100].
"Wow, I'm dying, I'm dying."
That knight was already exhausted. He barely climbed onto the shore and lay on the ground, spread-eagled. While gasping for breath, he muttered something: "Honestly... at a time like this, I should be drinking a glass of wine, and then finding some pretty girls to sing and dance with!"
"By the way, little dragon, have you ever had wine? Not the fruit wine for kids, but the strong liquor that only real men like me can drink... right, she's still a little kid herself, how could she take you to drink?"
"But, hehe, I'm an adult! How about it, want to go to the tavern in town with me for a drink? Maybe some pretty girls will even invite you to dance!"
"AWU!!!"
The young dragon's eyes widened. In that moment, its impression of Kay had changed from "Artoria's foster brother," "reliable knight partner," "comrade in arms," to "Holy shit, big bro, for real?".
"Of course it's for real! That Al guy is a blockhead, she's never enjoyed any of the good stuff. Come on, let me show you... the real good stuff!"
