The Princess And The Lord



Garrof smiled wryly "Sorry princess, how's Mister Zhao over there, he's not scared, isn't he?"

Lory rolled her eyes "No, he said he was disappointed with the lack of comfort of this transportation"

"Oh, that makes for both of us" Lloyd sent a dead glare at Garrof.

"Hey, blame Samuel Albrecht, he's the one who give us this junk" he feels wronged.

"Speaking of Samuel Albrecht, I didn't expect him to be a Dragna user, who would have thought he was a Dragxtarn," Lloyd said incredulously.

"Yeah, I heard Dragxtarn had been disbanded after the end of the Dark Age war because reportedly many of them died to protect the people of Luxemborough," said Lloyd.

"To the country of Luxemborough, the existence of Dragxtarn is like an Archknights in Luxemborough, they even become more famous after the Dark Age war, no offense princess" Garrof gives a quick apology

The corners of Lory's lips lifted for she genuinely doesn't care, the truth is she can't wait the day when Lucient didn't need anymore by then her descendant will be free to do whatever and be whatever they want.

"Not taken buddy, okay drive safely, I still want to eat strawberry cake after this!" Lory patted Garrof on the shoulder and then returned to her seat.

"As you wish, Your Highness!" Garrof saluted him.

Lory returned to her seat with a cheerful face but Zhao Li Xin who had known Lory for a long time knew that something was bothering her and he might be able to guess the source of it.

[You seem to pay a lot of attention to the man with a strange weapon?] Zhao Li Xin.

Lory covered her mouth pretending to be shocked [Hubby, are you jealous?]

Zhao Li Xin pinched Lory's nose [Don't joke with me, I'm being serious here, tell me what are you thinking!]

Lory rubbed her slightly reddened nose [Fine...] Lory leaned her back against the chair and take a long deep breath before saying: [Because he is a Dragxtarn, that's the name for people who use that strange weapon you mentioned, that weapon is called Dragna...by the way why do you find that weapon weird?]

Zhao Li Xin has skills as an Armament master and also an Array master so he is sensitive to the flow of energy around him no matter how small it is [Because the weapon accumulated the energy around it turn it into a power and then transfers that power to its owner but if the user's body does not know how to process the energy in his body then the weapon will be fatal to the user's health if they used it for a long term] explained Zhao Li Xin.

Lory tilted her head in disbelief [Eh, how did you know about this?]

[Of course,  I know, because some of the weapons in my world are like this as well, do you forget about Li Mo Zhen's white sword or my Crimson Lightning Sword, though it's not exactly the same but it got the same principle] Zhao Li Xin explained with a plain expression Meanwhile, Lory's face got paler [You… really think so?]

[like I said, it's not completely similar but it's the same type of weapon that can influence the user's body and mind, but the big difference is that the users in your world are not cultivators therefore they had no way to resist the side effect of this weapon that because they do not know how to harmonize the clash of energy within them] Zhao Li Xin explained in casual manner he doesn't realizes Lory's face has turned completely blank.

Lory suddenly exclaimed [So that's why so few Dragna users live to old age and also explains why most of them suffer from seizures, epilepsy, bell palsy, and even schizophrenia and dementia. Based on research by N.I.M.S. we knew it because Dragna has pushed the human's ability beyond their limitation, as a result, it affects the health of the user but based on what you said this is because they are not cultivators] Lory looked at Zhao Li Xin expectantly.

Zhao Li Xin didn't understand what made Lory so excited, for Zhao Li Xin this is just common sense, [Well, you don't have to be a cultivator either, as long as they are taught how to cultivate the inner energy properly so that they can provide a kind of resistance when harmful external energy enters their body, like a dam that will control the overflow of energy that enters the body, thus maintaining the balance of the two energies. Therefore, after a lot of practice and a little adjustment here and there, harmony will eventually be created from the two assimilated energies.]

Zhao Li Xin crosses his legs while resting his back on the chair, he appears to be lazy and nonchalant when he explained one of the most groundbreaking discoveries this world might ever know.

Lory widened his eyes while covering his mouth with both hands, he remembered Jin Hao once said that if only he did not respect Zhao Li Xin as a Lord and friend he really wanted to open Zhao Li Xin's head to see how his brain worked,  Bei Li Yan had said to Lory that more than half of the innovations belong to the Hei Shen sect was came from Zhao Li Xin's minds.

With her own eyes, Lory had witnessed how in a very short amount of time Zhao Li Xin had devised the most effective and safest way to use the Dragna that even the 'Creator' who created the weapon did not know about.

Lory was stressed to imagine what people would do if they knew the knowledge that Zhao Li Xin had, it is not impossible that Zhao Li Xin will be included in the list of the most wanted people in the world.

If only Zhao Li Xin heard what Lory thought he should say, 'Been there, done there'

Lory was grateful that they spoke the language of the cultivator world even though she trusted Garrof and Lloyd's character, but Lory couldn't guarantee they wouldn't slip their tongue.

Lory could be a little reckless with her own safety but not the same when it comes to Zhao Li Xin especially when Zhao Li Xin had not regained all of his strength yet.

Lory tugged Zhao Li Xin's ear to get closer to her and whispered [You can't talk about this with anyone, okay!] She warned him with a serious face.

Zhao Li Xin knitted his brows then say: [Lory, I still can't speak your language, who am I going to speak to?]

[....] Lory forgot about this, but she still felt uneasy so she remind him again [I know you have already learned about my language so when you are able to speak my language you can't talk about this to anyone without my permission, okay!]

It was a domineering request but Zhao Li Xin didn't mind, he actually quite amused that Lory forgot about the basic thing about him which is Zhao Li Xin didn't like to talk.

[But, you haven't told me why you are so interested in Drag..xan?]

[It's Dragxtarn, Dragx - tarn] Lory corrected him.

Zhao Li Xin nodded [Yes, Drag-sarn]

[...] 

[Uhm… let's start where the name Dragxtarn came from...] Lory glanced at the window beside her for a moment before she continued [The name Dragxtarn comes from old folklore from the north region, the story is about when the world was oppressed by a cruel God, then a human named Dragxtarn got the blessing of extraordinary power from his ancestor to kill the Gods so armed with his power and determination Dragxtarn start his journey to find and eventually kill the vicious God, obviously the God didn't remain idle either, the God then sent his most ferocious creation to stop Dragxtarn however, they were all defeated until finally the God comes personally to killed Dragxtarn as expected  the God was pathetically defeated by Dragxtarn, and the world is safe]

Zhao Li Xin snorted mockingly [That...is the most stupid story I ever heard]

Lory pokes Zhao Li Xin's cheeks playfully [That's funny coming from you, considering after what we went through]

[Let me remind you that we are not just ordinary people and don't forget that we got a lot of help so that our victory is not just the result of our hard work. Unlike this stupid story where one man can kill God, if that is true then that is the God everyone doesn't need]Zhao Li Xin sneered sarcastically

Zhao Li Xin then continues [So according to your story the name of that foolish Hero was the inspiration behind that group's name, so that was their purpose, to kill God? Pretty ambitious goals in my opinion] Zhao Li Xin thought they were too ambitious and also foolish.

Lory laughed, [No silly, this group wasn't formed to kill gods] Lory roll her eyes then continue with a smirk [They were formed to kill Lucient]
