The roar of the Storm Dragon was so loud that it shook the entire sealed cavern.
Feeling the pebbles falling from the ceiling, Lynn was startled.
This guy...
What is he up to?
It's just about making a friend.
Does he have to be so agitated?
But upon further thought,
Lynn understood.
In the original storyline, Veldora only made his first true friend after meeting the萌王 (Moe King).
Although he always acted proud,
deep down, he cared a lot about the other party.
And now,
Lynn's arrival had disrupted the plot, meeting Veldora before the Moe King arrived.
As a result,
he had taken the place of the Moe King, becoming Veldora's first friend.
"What?"
"Do you think I'm not worthy of being your friend?"
Although he knew the Storm Dragon was agitated,
Lynn raised an eyebrow and loudly asked this question.
This made the already agitated Veldora suddenly pause.
"Who..."
"Who said you're not worthy!"
"I was just..."
"Forget it!"
"Even though you're just a weak human, my great Veldora can勉强 (barely) be your friend."
"Um..."
"That's right!"
"This is the recognition from me, Veldora, so you should be grateful and accept it!"
Just imagine how a dragon acts when it's being proud.
The 'great' Storm Dragon Veldora gave Lynn a vivid lesson.
Especially when he saw the giant dragon head twisting restlessly, both wanting to acknowledge this friend and seeming reluctant to lose face.
Lynn almost burst out laughing.
"Veldora."
"You need to understand that the status between friends is equal, not a gift or charity."
"Your attitude like this..."
"Will not help you make true friends."
Sighing, Lynn shook his head slightly.
Upon hearing these words, Veldora's expression immediately froze.
"What..."
"What do you mean?"
"Are you... unwilling to be friends with me?"
Well,
just a moment ago, he was acting proud.
But now, he suddenly looked full of委屈 (grievance).
Who knew a dragon's face could show such rich emotional changes.
But Lynn understood.
What he needed to do now was to make the other party understand the true meaning of friendship!
"Of course, I'm willing to be your friend."
"But your behavior just now doesn't seem like you want to be friends with me."
"After all, if you really consider me a friend,"
"you should respect me as I respect you."
"Isn't that right?"
According to the setting of the "Reincarnated Slime" world,
the Storm Dragon Veldora, as a dragon species, was a mental life form born from the degeneration of the genetic factors of the Star King Dragon, a creation god.
Including the Star King Dragon,
there were only five dragon species in the entire world.
Therefore, in front of other dragon species,
Lynn would never dare to speak to them like this.
But Veldora was an exception.
Lynn knew very well that the other party would seriously communicate with him and think about his words.
And the facts proved that his thoughts were completely correct!
"Is... that so..."
"Alright."
"I understand."
"So, if you respect me, and I respect you,"
"we are friends, right?"
See?
After understanding Lynn's meaning, Veldora quickly agreed without hesitation.
He didn't look down on Lynn just because he was a weak human.
This result
naturally made Lynn very satisfied.
"Exactly!"
"We are friends!"
"Then, Veldora, my friend,"
"wait for me here for a moment, I'll be back soon."
Having reached a consensus on the issue of friendship, Lynn wanted to open the portal and return to his world.
But the problem was,
before he could take any action,
the next second,
Veldora's urgent voice reached his ears.
"Wait!"
"By 'return,' do you mean you can really go back to your original world?"
Due to the excitement of hearing the word 'friend,' Veldora had subconsciously ignored Lynn's subsequent words.
Now, recalling it,
his dragon eyes widened in shock!
Although this world was not short of visitors from other worlds,
the ability to return to one's original world had never been heard of!
"Yes."
"After coming to this world, I unexpectedly gained some very special abilities."
"Returning to my own world is one of them."
With a shocked expression on Veldora's dragon face,
Lynn nodded calmly.
Regarding the existence of the portal, he couldn't explain it clearly, so he let the other party consider it as his special ability.
After all, the portal was already bound to him, and it wasn't really lying.
"Even... such a special ability?"
"Traversing dimensions..."
"Even I can't do that!"
Lynn's admission
undoubtedly shocked Veldora even more.
Although he knew that visitors from other worlds could gain special skills,
traversing dimensions still exceeded his common sense.
"I'm not quite sure about that."
"But for me, it doesn't seem very difficult."
"As long as I have sufficient energy, like the magic ore in this cave, I can open the portal to return to my world at any time."
Hearing is believing, but seeing is understanding.
In front of Veldora,
Lynn easily opened the portal again, personally demonstrating this amazing scene.
As for why he did this—
During the conversation with Veldora, Lynn had not been idle, carefully investigating the surroundings.
Using the appraisal eye function,
he was fortunate to discover that the faintly glowing stones on the cave walls were exactly the energy source he needed for traversal!
This magic ore, containing magical elements,
was very suitable for replenishing the energy of Lynn's portal.
In other words,
although he only had three more chances to open the portal, as long as he mined more magic ore, he wouldn't have to worry about energy anymore!
Of course,
as the owner of the sealed cavern,
he still needed to inform Veldora before mining the magic ore on his territory.
Therefore, after opening the portal,
Lynn quickly pointed to the magic ore around the cave and indicated that he might need it in the future.
Originally,
Lynn just wanted to give a heads-up, letting Veldora know the situation.
But unexpectedly,
as he spoke,
the Storm Dragon on the other side
became even more agitated!
