Holy Great Dragon, Starting from Gene Evolution - Chapter 38

Chapter 38: So You Are a Mage?

In the alley, Ye Chen looked at Lina with a helpless expression.

Ye Chen admired her dullness.

Did she not see that he did not look frightened at all?

People with a little bit of experience should know that he was not simple, right?

She even looked excited as if she had just saved someone. It really made Ye Chen speechless…

Just as Ye Chen was trying to think of a way to reject her kindness…

Lina suddenly waved her hand in the direction of the inn in surprise, and even shouted happily, “Green, Ralph, I am here! I just saved two idiots! Isn’t that great?”

Ye Chen’s head was full of black lines.

Those two people who were also wearing red hoods also walked over with a strange expression.

“Lina, who did you save? Why aren’t you waiting for us at the bar?”

Lina waved her small hand, pointed at Ye Chen, and said with a smile, “It’s him. He came into the bar with a bag full of gold coins to ask for information. He was almost killed just now!”

Looking at them looking at him like he was an idiot, Ye Chen could not hold it in any longer.

He forced a smile and said helplessly, “Miss Lina, I am really not an idiot…”

“If you are not a fool, then what are you doing running into a messy bar with a bag full of gold coins? Are you an expert?”

Lina was not convinced. She thought that Ye Chen was afraid of losing face, so she kept her mouth shut.

However, the two experienced mercenaries immediately understood.

Ye Chen also scratched his head.

Opening his palm, a bunch of dancing flames appeared on his palm.

One moment, it turned into a flaming bird, and the next moment, it turned into a flaming lion.

In the end, under Lina’s incredulous gaze, it turned into a hooded woman, who was grabbed by Ye Chen.

“Ah! That’s me?”

“You’re a Mage!?”

“My God, so you’re a Mage. No wonder you’re so rich…”

The three people had all sorts of reactions.

Among them, Lina’s reaction was the funniest. She actually stepped forward and opened Ye Chen’s fist. She pouted and said unhappily, “Why did you extinguish me?”

Everyone was silent at that.

A moment later, the four returned to the tavern once again.

However, this time, the malicious gazes directed at Ye Chen suddenly lessened.

The four of them sat down in the booth.

Lina then stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and said, “I am so sorry, Mr. Ye Chen. I thought you were…”

“Cough! Cough!”

Ralph quickly interrupted Lina’s words.

He said to Ye Chen apologetically, “I am sorry, Mr. Ye Chen. Lina is the daughter of our leader. She just came of age. This is her first time coming out with us…”

Ye Chen immediately understood that she was really a newbie…

Then, Ye Chen nodded indifferently and chuckled.

“It’s okay, I should thank her for her help.”

“Oh right, I have something I want to ask you guys. Is it convenient?”

Ralph quickly nodded. “Please ask.”

Lina and Green also looked over curiously, wanting to know what this Mage wanted to ask.

After all, for warriors like them who could not even control their battle Qi, a Mage was an unattainable existence.

It was also at this moment that Ye Chen saw Lina’s face for the first time.

Even Ye Chen, who was used to seeing extremely beautiful women like the Elven Queen, had his eyes lit up slightly.

Her curved eyes, thin lips, and innocent look made Lina look very cute.

In the words of his previous life, she was just too cute.

Although she had a small body, her proportions were perfect. Combined with her long, wine-red hair, she looked like a doll.

Although Ye Chen was a little surprised by her appearance.

However, he soon realized what was going on. He started to ask about some things that he did not understand.

Seeing the three people from the mercenary group, they all looked at him strangely.

Ye Chen had no choice but to make something up, “I grew up under the guidance of my teacher. Recently, my teacher passed away, so I came out to train alone. So, there are a lot of things that I do not understand.”

The three finally realized what was going on.

Then, Ralph patiently answered them one by one.

Lina’s cute eyes were shining with a light as she looked at Ye Chen without blinking.

Ye Chen touched his face and asked curiously, “What is it, Ms. Lina?”

Lina coughed twice and put on a serious look. She reached out her hand and said, “Mr. Ye Chen, I wonder if you would be interested in joining our blood ring mercenary group? We can take you on a training trip!”

Ralph and Green also looked at Ye Chen expectantly.

If they could invite a mage to join them, it would be a great thing for the mercenary group!

However, Ye Chen still had something important to do.

Plus, he could not maintain his human form for a long time.

Therefore, in the end, he shook his head and refused.

“My teacher has a mission for me. I have to go to Eagle Nest City. So, I am really sorry.”

Lina pouted her lips and asked, “What about after you finish the mission? Can you join us?”

The steady Ralph pulled Lina back and shook his head at her.

Then, he said to Ye Chen regretfully, “If that’s the case, then it is really a pity.”

He had already seen that Ye Chen had no intention of joining their mercenary group at all.

Naturally, he did not want Lina to make too many requests to avoid getting into a fight with Ye Chen in the end.

The current situation was not bad at all. He had accidentally befriended a mage and even ‘saved’ him.

Although he did not need it, he would still owe her a favor.

In the future, if the mercenary group had anything to ask of Ye Chen, he should not reject it either.

Such an outcome was already good enough.

The invitation to join the mercenary group was just like that.

Although Lina turned her head angrily and did not want to talk to Ye Chen.

However, Ralph still answered Ye Chen’s questions one by one.

As an experienced mercenary, although he was only a trainee warrior, he still had a lot of experience.

The two chatted happily while drinking.

A few hours later, Ralph was completely drunk. Only then did Ye Chen say goodbye to them and walk out of the tavern alone.

Only Lina looked at Ye Chen’s back and stuck out her tongue, murmuring in a voice that only she could hear.

“What a great Mage! Humph! My grandfather is also a great magic tutor!”

…

After knowing the direction of the Eagle Nest City and gaining a basic understanding of this foreign world…

Ye Chen did not waste any more time.

After leaving the small town, he immediately turned back into his lizard form.

He tried to stay as far away from the human roads as possible, heading toward the Eagle Nest City.

Although right now, there were only a few people left in the entire eagle nest territory who could fight Ye Chen head-on.

However, Ye Chen still remained cautious and tried not to expose himself..
