Chapter 522 Liar!
But where could she go if she couldn't leave the campus? So before dark, Lilith had already hidden back in her dormitory.
The noises outside gradually became noisier after the bell rang. Lilith opened the window, ate another huge piece of bread facing the spring scenery at dusk, and drank the potion given by Phoebe as if it were water. Then she burped in satisfaction and lay back on her little bed.
It was just that Phoebe seemed to have added some sleeping potion to her medicine to help her rest. Lilith had just woken up not long ago, but she fell asleep again without realizing it.
When she opened her eyes again, it was dark and there was a breath beside her ear.
"...Zephirion."
Sure enough he came.
The narrow bed became crowded. The dragon had climbed over the girl's windowsill at some point, transformed into a human form and lay at the head of her bed. Hearing her call, he moved his head over and stuffed it under her palm.
Lilith subconsciously rubbed it. The black hair looked soft, but it felt very hard. Both of them moved very smoothly, but they froze for a few seconds when they reacted at the same time.
Zephirion raised his head first, his expression not looking good.
"How much do you remember?"
Lilith didn't say anything, but sat up from the bed and leaned against the wall. After Zephirian came in, he took up most of the space on the small bed. Seeing that he was completely unaware, Lilith could only say, "This is my bed."
Zephyrion:?
"You go down first." Lilith could only be more straightforward.
Unexpectedly, the black dragon was stunned for a moment and then showed an angry expression - "I slept like this when I was a child!"
"Really? I don't believe it." Lilith forced out an awkward but polite smile.
"You used to tell me bedtime stories!"
"……what?"
Lilith stared at the tall young man in front of her, unable to imagine that scene.
"Really! You'll tell me stories about the female supporting character's rebirth, the true and false daughter, and the return of the Dragon King..." He raised his eyes to observe Lilith's expression and emphasized, "I like to hear about the return of the Dragon King the most."
Lilith's expression cracked on the spot.
There were clattering sounds of footsteps outside the door. It was a girl who came home late, humming a song as she passed by. The two of them shut their mouths tacitly and stared at each other.
Even though Lilith was unwilling to admit it, she knew that there was no better evidence to prove that they knew each other. Even now, she still liked to share melodramatic literature with everyone...
——They really do know each other!
No wonder this dragon always shouts "woman, woman". It turns out that I have taught him the wrong thing. Lilith covered her face in shame.
"But you are an adult now... Jackie Chan, and I am still a young girl, understand?" Lilith no longer doubted the other party's words, but still insisted that he get out of bed.
"I do not--"
"I'm counting to three."
Zephirion rolled under the bed swiftly. It was obvious that this was not his first time, and he was even more skilled than climbing into bed.
Is this a dog? Not insulting, but this is definitely a dog, right? — Lilith lowered her hand and looked at the black dragon lying peacefully on the floor, silently complaining in her heart.
"You deliberately led everyone to find me, right?" Lilith was the first to break the silence.
Zephirion was lying on the ground. From her perspective, she couldn't see him at all. After waiting for a long time, she finally heard someone speak from under the bed.
"Yes." Black Dragon's voice lowered, with a hint of sadness in his awkwardness.
"I've never learned any healing spells. Dragons have strong vitality and don't need that kind of garbage... But you're too weak now, Lilith. I thought you were going to die... I'm sorry."
She was like a bird about to die in his own hands. He took care of the patient like a human, but her condition worsened, and in the end he had no choice but to return her to humans.
Lilith opened her mouth. She could feel the Black Dragon's frustration, but she didn't know how to comfort him.
"-But according to the patterns in the stories you told, shouldn't your memory recover after a serious illness? Do you remember anything?" Zephirion asked again after apologizing.
...He really believes in melodramatic literature. Lilith covered her face in pain again.
"I'm sorry, I don't remember anything. Or rather, I don't think I have any memory loss. I remember the days in the library, and then here..."
Such an answer obviously did not satisfy Heilong. There was no sound from under the bed, as if he didn't want to pay attention to her.
"Zephilion."
Lilith hugged her legs. She had so many questions she wanted to ask Black Dragon, but when he really came, she seemed to have no idea where to start, or she didn't dare to ask.
"When I first met you, I felt like I could get along with you."
She recalled the first time they had spoken, a long walk together through the snow on the way to Dragonfang Castle. Sadly, that was their most peaceful exchange, and every subsequent one was too painful to recall...
"We used to be good friends, right?"
"the best."
"So you know, I came here through wearing, right?"
"Only I know."
“…Will I even tell you this?”
Lilith was very puzzled. She had read countless articles and had a hunch that no time traveler would tell such a secret to others, not to mention that this dragon was obviously not very smart.
"More than that." Zephyrion under the bed emphasized proudly, "I am different, Lilith, I am different from them all."
"Them? Who?"
"Fostwen, Zora, even Elrohir, the one who called you mother, not to mention the others."
Lilith opened her eyes wide. These names had been etched in her mind since their trip to Blackstone...
——A hero from a thousand years ago.
She had already woken up here... a thousand years ago?
Her face turned pale as paper. "I, what on earth am I——"
"Mother of Elves, incarnation of the World Tree, some also call you God Gaia."
The room was quiet for a long time.
"But..." Lilith's body was shaking.
"But I'm dead, right?"
"……Yes."
How could a god die? Lilith suddenly burst into tears, unable to stop them.
"Lilith?" Zephyrion was startled by the noise. It was the first time he saw her cry.
"So, I can't go home at all, right?" She looked blankly at the panicked Black Dragon who wanted to wipe her tears.
Is the so-called completion of the mission and return home a lie? Can she never go back?
"I don't know, Lilith, calm down." Zephirion didn't know how to respond.
"Liar!" Lilith suddenly clamped Zephirion's hand.
"That system is a liar!"
Zephirion's face also turned pale.
