The Blue Mage Raised by Dragons

Book 6: Chapter 187

Kim Hajun stared at the large spread of food in front of himself. For some reason, it looked like the food hed make for himself when he actually had free time to cook. Either someone had read his mind and appropriated his recipes, or he had unknowingly created a massive meal. Considering there were shiny patches of skin on his hands and forearms that looked as if hot oil had splattered against him, Kim Hajun was inclined to believe in the latter. Somehow, he had zoned out and cooked a feast fit for Thanksgiving. Also, there was another little person; there seemed to be a lot of those following Vur around.

Wow, you guys really went through a lot without me, huh? Mervin asked. He was sitting beside Stella, and in front of the two tiny individuals, there was a watermelon slice that dwarfed them even further. There was the bottom of a white melon seed sticking out of the fairy queens mouth, and with a slurping sound, it vanished.

Yep, Stella said. Thats where all the silver animals came from, a place called Earth we went to because of Prika.

Mervin bobbed his head up and down before using a toothpick to pick up a piece of watermelon. What about those bugs over there? he asked and gestured towards Garlic and Ginger resting on the edge of the table. Are those friends or food?

Friends, Stella said. Her eyes flitted towards Vur before her gaze landed back on Mervin. But theyre named after food: Ginger and Garlic.

The genie king tilted his head to the side. Why?

Because, Stella said and shrugged, things be the way they are.

Kim Hajun shifted his gaze away from the little people, turning his head towards Vur and Tafel with a frown. They were acting like nothing was wrong as if the Oebu Sin werent going to invade the tower. Vur was stuffing his face without a care in the world, extremely typical behavior for a dragon. During the prophetic dream, the dragons hadnt participated in the battle against the Oebu Sin at all, so Kim Hajun wasnt sure if Vurs confidence was baseless or not.

A sigh escaped from Kim Hajuns mouth. In this iteration, it seemed like the dragons and phoenixes would be the main characters when dealing with the Oebu Sin, not like the humans couldve stepped up without Keulonoseu acting as the Time Lord. If Kim Hajun had more time to grow stronger, perhaps he couldve filled in the gap the Time Lord had left behind, but as he was now, supporting Vur and Tafel was the most he could do. It just wouldve been more reassuring to support people who knew how to act in order to inspire confidence amongst their underlings.

So, Auntie, Tafel said, gesturing towards Lindyss with a fork. What innate ability did the tower give you?

Wouldnt you like to know? Lindyss asked, raising an eyebrow.

Tafel blinked. Uh, yes, I would. She blinked again. Please?

There are plenty of things you dont know about me, Lindyss said and stabbed her fork into a slice of pork cutlet. Adding one more thing you dont know wont hurt.

Vur looked at Lindyss and swallowed the food in his mouth. His irises glowed as he made eye contact with her. Tell us, Vur said, causing the cursed elfs expression to slacken.

Lindyss eyes glazed over, and she said, Long-distance swimming. A second later, the cursed elfs eyes returned to normal, and she glared at Vur. Did you just hit me with a command spell?

Vur nodded. Yes.

Come here, Lindyss said, beckoning towards Vur from across the table with her hand.

Vur blinked before looking at Tafel.

What are you looking at her for? Lindyss asked before Tafel could say anything. A bolt of lightning flew out of her finger and struck Vurs shoulderthe one Sheryl wasnt occupying. Im talking to you.

Vur rubbed his shoulder and blinked at the cursed elf.

Dont look at me like that, Lindyss said with a scowl. Do you think its okay to use a command spell on me because youre strong now? Tafel wanted to know, so you were willing to command me?

Yeah, you messed up big time, Erin said from her spot on the table. Im her best friend, and you saw what she did to me. The fairy grumbled as she looked down at her piece of fruit. All I did was command her to dance.

Mervin turned towards Vur and cupped his hand in front of his mouth to prevent other people from hearing what he was going to say. I bet shes embarrassed her innate talent isnt that great, so shes snapping at you. I mean, cmon, long-distance swimming? I dont even have an innate ability yet, but Im sure mines better than hers.

Ill have you know, Lindyss said, my innate ability allows me to swim faster than a leviathan. I wouldnt call that useless. She turned towards Vur and gestured at Mervin. Now that your genie regrew, what are you going to wish for now?

Another pair of arms? Mervin asked.

Vurs not wishing for anything, Stella said. Mervins going to hang out with us, so hes not granting anybody here a wish. The fairy queen crossed her arms over her chest. Besides, Im the one who planted him, so if anyone does get a wish, its me.

Vur looked at Stella before turning his head towards Lindyss. It didnt seem like the cursed elf was angry upset with him anymore. Mervin mustve been right, but Vur still decided against commanding Lindyss in the future. Since the cursed elf was disappointed by her innate ability, there was an easy way to fix that. Do you want me to teach you how to command people, Auntie? Vur asked. Its easy.

Im not falling for that one, Lindyss said and snorted. I know how you teach people. She nodded and sank back into her seat. If youre really want to do something for me, you can get me some phoenix liquor when you go off to do your peace thing with Volearden and Malvina. The cursed elf raised an eyebrow. Thats happening soon, right?

Vur nodded. Soon, the conflict between dragons and phoenixes would come to an end. Vurs gaze shifted onto the table. Of course, food came first.
