BXBX NOVEL Chapter 93 The Story Of Silver Fang
"Can you guys elaborate before doing any conclusions?" I asked.
"And you\'re eating the dragon right now." Said Rira with a cocky smile.
"DON\'T SAY THAT!" I cried, grabbing Rita\'s dress, and shaking her around angrily as she laughed. The Mushroom Brigade looked into the tasty fish steaks they had been eating, quickly realizing the truth!
…
After a lot of ruckus and more, the mushrooms quickly calmed themselves down and explained to me what was going on… Apparently, the Lake Snake was… Lucious\' Dragon! …Or something.
"Lord Lucious had once tamed a small dragon, it was the same size as the creature you hold with you, Lady Planta…"
"He called him Silver Fang, and he grew up to become a great dragon that helped us greatly… He was even able to speak when he reached adulthood, and was wise and strong!"
"Did you… really fought Silver Fang?"
"We did…" I sighed. "I think it must have been him but… He never spoke to us. He was like a wild monster and immediately tried to attack us on sight."
"Yeah, there was no way that thing had good intentions." Said Rita. "He tried to chomp us out all the time just because we were having a dip in the hot spring."
"Indeed…" I sighed. "I am sorry…"
"No, it is fine…" Said Sporegon. "Silver Fang perished before we did, giving up his life to defeat one of the strongest retainers of the Dark Demon King of Miasma, Poison the Sludge, a monstrous Purple-colored Poisonous Slime that had devoured thousands of people… He gave up his life so we could advance with Lord Lucious. The Silver Fang you fought must have been his reanimated corpse, much like our Hero… If you defeated him, it means he\'s most likely in a better place now… This meat, you said it was generated by the System? Then it is technically not his, as you said, he dissipated into light after dying, right?"
"Yes, he did…" I sighed. "But even then, I owe you my apologies for not having explained it earlier!"
"No worries, all is good now!" Said Sporegon.
"But… My Lady, if you let me ask you a question…" Said Magius.
"Yes, dear?" I wondered.
"That small Dragon you have, how did you find it?" She Asked.
"When we defeated the dragon, Achlys acquired an egg item which was where Silver came from!" I said. "She had originally planned to eat her… I don\'t know if she\'s really the daughter of Silver Fang, as her egg was most likely created by the System as well but… Perhaps?"
"Hm… It is a good theory, although I do recall that Ancient Dragons are capable of laying eggs even without a mate… But wasn\'t Silver Fang a male?" Wondered Sporegon.
"Well, I never thought this information would be useful but Silver Fang was actually a female dragon." Said Magius. "I do remember because I was always the one that had to wash her with water magic… She didn\'t had one of "those" that male dragons have."
"O-Oh…" Said Sporegon.
"Then Silver could really quite possibly be her daughter?!" Asked Chef.
"Amazing… to think the little snake is Silver Fang\'s offspring!"
"This fills me with happiness… now our lady even has her dragon with her…"
"Yeah… Let\'s take good care of the little Silver while she grows up!"
…
The Mushroom Brigade seemed lively even when everything ended. Rita and Titan had already logged off by now, and I decided to walk back to my Farm to take a look. The plants seemed to be growing quite a lot in these few days, and were sprouting quite nicely, but it would need some more time to even make some sizable fruits or carrots and potatoes!
"So this is our Lady\'s farm!"
"It is a beautiful farm!"
"These are fruits and vegetables I had never seen before…"
"The plants are emanating a strong aura of life as well, to be fitting of a Dryad such as our Lady, ahaha!"
"Alright you guys, I want you to take care of the Farm while I am off… Is it okay?" I asked.
"Yes, it is alright!"
"We\'ll do our best to water the plants and anything else you might need us to do!"
"Indeed, do not worry."
"Thanks! You guys are really the best, hehe…" I giggled. I felt happy yet very sleepy.
"Now… Yawn… I am going to sleep, I\'ll log-off for now. Don\'t worry, I\'ll come back in a few hours. Make sure to help the squirrel-folk and anybody too, okay? If you want shelter for the night… Yawn… you can go cut some trees and make a little house. I saw one of you had the Architect and Construction Skills, right?"
"Yes! It is me!" A mushroom wearing leather clothes said, his name was Archie, and he was a very good constructor apparently, not god-level or something, but he knew how to make stuff, though he obviously took his time. But with the help of another nineteen mushrooms, he should do alright.
"Then I am leaving it up to you guys, bye-bye!" I said, logging off at long last, as I took off the helmet and looked into the ceiling of my room.
I stretched my body a bit and then went to the bathroom…
Haaahhh~ I really wanted to use it… Ugh, using VR too much makes your body hold on into everything for a while…
After that, I crawled back to my bed and dropped half-dead in there, sighing in relief, I covered myself in the bed sheets and I didn\'t even wanted to see the hour, I fear it would be way too late.
Today was really filled with a lot of adventures in that game. The level of detail really leaves me thinking if that world is truly a game… or not.
