Chapter 23 The Dragon Spreads Its Wings And The Princess Is Captured By The Dragon
"Philomena Herlock?"
Hearing Philomena's answer, Prescott was a little surprised.
Herlock? Wasn't that the royal family name of the Herlock Kingdom?
Prescott had some knowledge of the Herlock Kingdom.
After all, she had moved to the Magical Beast Mountain Range to settle down, so she made sure to have some knowledge of the neighboring kingdoms.
This girl had 'Herlock' in her name, was she related to the royal family of Herlock?
Prescott did not care too much about this.
After all, she only came out to find someone to teach her how to raise Sade.
As long as she did not provoke her, she did not care whether she was a royal or a peasant.
She could not be bothered to get involved with these human nobles.
"You just said that you know how to raise humans. Do you have any basis for that declaration?"
As soon as she finished his question, Prescott instantly felt like she was being a bit silly
The other party was a human. If she did not know how to raise a human, who else in the world would know how to raise a human?
As expected, after Philomena heard the question, she replied proudly.
"As a human, I am living proof. I believe that there is no one here who knows how to raise a human baby better than me, a human."
After saying that, she subconsciously looked at Sade who was in Prescott's arms.
'Could that be the baby? It looks so small.'
Philomena was a bit of a distance away from Prescott.
Even if she used a spell to increase her vision, she could not see Prescott and the Green Jade Python clearly.
Perhaps they had cast a magic barrier that caused her to not be able to see them clearly. She could only see their silhouettes.
As for Philomena's magic, Prescott had also noticed it.
Therefore, she hurriedly instructed the Green Jade Python to move closer.
As they got closer, Prescott looked at the Long-Boned Apes that were still pressed to the ground and frowned.
She did not have the slightest bit of pity towards this race and summoned a red fireball to kill them all.
This action instantly shocked all the human females in the cages.
Moreover, the female members of the group from Herlock also expressed their fear. They had never seen such a terrifying power before in their lives.
As for the other group of human females, the ones who had already been tortured by the Long-Boned Apes, they all cried.
They were different from the women from Herlock. They had lost their entire lives to these beasts.
No one knew better than them how much these beasts deserved to die!
Therefore, they were very grateful to Prescott. They all wanted to follow her and become her servants.
Prescott did not care too much about this.
She did not understand the language of the Herlock Kingdom at all.
She now valued Philomena ore for being able to speak the common language of the continent.
Therefore, Prescott did not hide it and openly stated his purpose of coming.
"Philomena, since you know how to raise a human, then come with me. I need somebody to teach me how to raise a human baby."
"You need somebody to teach you how to raise a human baby?
"My Lady, aren't you a human too?
"Why do you need someone to teach you how to raise a human baby?"
Following Prescott's words, Philomena expressed her confusion.
Although she was not a mother, as a member of the royal family, she had received professional teaching in all fields when she was young.
Perhaps in the future, there would be nannies to take care of her child, but she still needed to know how to be a parent.
Philomena felt that she still had not learnt enough to raise a child perfectly, but if she were to raise one, she believed that she would be more competent than any civilian.
What she found strange was that the person in front of her was obviously already an adult. She had even given birth to a child, so why did he still need someone to teach her?
Moreover, the adult in front of her not only had a strange hair color, but her skin was also covered with dense black tattoos.
Although these black tattoos made her look extremely seductive and beautiful, Philomena wondered why the woman was naked!
This was obviously the strangest thing to Philomena.
"Who said I'm human?"
"Eh?" Following Prescott's words, Philomena felt very surprised.
However, after Prescott made Sade float in the sky with her magic, she heard a shocking dragon's roar!
Prescott's body burst with an astonishing crimson light!
She suddenly leaped from the head of the Green Jade Python and transformed into a crimson comet that charged straight into the sky.
Along with waves of incomparably violent magic power, the comet rolled in all directions.
Finally, in the sky, the comet suddenly grew several times bigger and then instantly collapsed.
Once again, it was accompanied by an earth-shattering roar of a dragon.
A ferocious Red Dragon with an incomparably large and domineering body, a crown of thorn-like horns on its head, and black tattoos all over its body suddenly descended.
At this moment, the entire sky seemed to be covered by this terrifying being that suddenly appeared.
The Red Dragon spread its wings and soared into the sky!
In response, the Green Jade Python quickly lowered its body and cowered submissively.
The women from Herlock were all shocked by the scene in front of them.
Each and every one of them was clearly still naked, however, they did not hesitate at all. They rushed towards the dense forest vines as a means to run away.
While they were escaping, they were still exclaiming in surprise.
"Dragon, it's actually a dragon! Run!"
"It's over, it's over, it's over, the dragon will eat us!"
"Damn it, this is only the first half of the Magic Beast Mountain Range, why is there a dragon here!"
"We're finished..."
"The princess is going to be captured by the Dragon!"
The entire group had run away.
Thus, in the entire territory of the Long-Boned Apes, other than those women who expressed their desire to follow Prescott, only Philomena was left.
She did not run away, and Prescott was also curious about this.
"Aren't you going to run?"
Philomena took a deep breath and slowly replied.
"You did not give me permission me to run away."
"Didn't those humans escape?"
"But you don't need them. You need me."
"You're so smart. I like a sensible human like you."
Prescott's ferocious dragon head revealed a smile of praise.
She continued, "Since you stayed behind, you should know what I need you to do. As long as you teach me how to raise humans and bring Sade back to health, I'll let you go.
"Of course, I won't let you serve me for free.
"Since you're a fire magician, while you're serving me, I can teach you how to practice fire magic and provide you with the materials to make a magic staff. How about it?"
"Really?" Philomena's eyes lit up instantly.
To be honest, she had no other choice now. After all, this was an Ancient Dragon.
If it was the Long-Boned Ape king from before who was asking her this, she would still dare risk deceiving it and escaping
But seeing as the one in front of her was an Ancient Dragon, Philomena wouldn't even dare to think about it.
After all, ever since she was born, Philomena had never heard of anyone who had survived after being targeted by a terrifying Ancient Dragon.
Moreover, the dragon in front of her was obviously pretty benign. At least it was reasonable.
"I accept your conditions!"
"Very good. Next, we need a Master-Servant contract. After you complete your mission, I will let you return to human society!"
"Thank you, Lady Dragon!"
"My name is Prescott."
"Thank you, Lady Prescott."
