Chapter 106: A Word Awakens the Dreamer
As a True Dragon of orthodox lineage, Tassera had a rather loose sense of time, but she was very patient. Though she could have swiftly traveled around the world in her Dragon Form by flying, she preferred spending multiple times longer, sometimes even tenfold, traveling by carriage, ship, or even on foot just to enjoy the scenery and cultures along the way.
However, under special circumstances, she could move very quickly. For instance, after spending a month discussing with a Female Dwarf Mage and gaining significant insights into Summoning Magic, she was eager to return home to experiment. After leaving Crossroads City, she resumed her Dragon Form and flew, reaching the desert in just half a day.
The Brass Dragon spotted the Blue Dragon flying across the sky, and upon a closer look, recognized it was Tassera and promptly chased after her.
"Tassera, you’re finally back." The Brass Dragon didn’t like Blue Dragons but didn’t dislike Tassera; after all, they had been business partners for so long. Besides, Tassera, as a Storage Dragon engrossed in spells and various kinds of knowledge, didn’t have as much time to engage in misdeeds.
"Eggon... do you need something from me?" Tassera knew the Brass Dragon had little regard for her and normally preferred conversing with Leon. Although Red Dragons were even more malevolent and Leon was slightly different, he definitely wouldn’t bother her for no reason.
"Do you know Rocas, the Rocas of Day Shadow?" The Brass Dragon was unaware that Leon had already fought with the Blue Dragon, and by now, that confrontation might have already concluded.
"I know... that fool, he’s here again?" Tassera said, "I’ll go talk to him."
Tassera was eager to return home to seclude herself for cultivation, but she knew she must handle all these messy affairs first. Otherwise, any disturbance during her seclusion would definitely throw her into a frenzy.
Without resting for a moment, Tassera immediately turned towards Crystal Mountain, easily locating the now blemished Crystal Mountain, which had lost all its aesthetic appeal.
Tassera didn’t pause and located the entrance to Rocas’s lair, only to find it in complete disarray... Had someone pillaged it? If it had been raided, it wouldn’t look like this because any enemy intrusion into a Blue Dragon’s lair would definitely result in the lair’s collapse.
Her own lair was set up similarly, designed to collapse automatically if anyone ventured too deeply without permission.
