This was Ellie's first time flying so high; the last experience, being dragged by that blond-haired guy, was terrible.
This time was different; this time, she was standing on a dragon's back. The troops that had set off earlier were caught up in less than a minute. Ellie even deliberately ordered the dragon to fly lower, skimming directly over the Fire Extinguishing Scripture troops, just to show off.
This was a dragon!
And not just any trashy wild ice dragon, but a Holy Heaven-Shining Dragon! I wonder how it compares to the Platinum Dragon Lord?
Ugh! Just from the fact that it couldn't speak, her new pet had already lost. Its strength probably wasn't as good as the Platinum Dragon Lord's either; after all, he could control his Platinum Armor to take one of Shalltear's attacks. This little white dragon probably couldn't even take one of Shalltear's attacks.
However, even though this little white dragon couldn't speak, it could indeed understand Ellie's commands. When they caught up to the Fire Extinguishing Scripture troops earlier, Ellie directly ordered this little white dragon to fly lower, and it did so. It was very obedient, especially since she had paid him thirty thousand gold coins (though the money wasn't hers).
"Uncle Schoonheim, I'll trouble you to lead the way now," Ellie said, turning to Uncle Schoonheim, whose face was green.
"Hmm... alright. Just fly straight ahead from here. Once you see the thick fog, you can descend. Our destination is the front-line base by the lake in the center of the fog. It should be easy to recognize," Uncle Schoonheim replied, a bit uncomfortably.
"Alright, I'll have this good boy pay attention. Oh! I haven't given this child a name yet," Ellie remembered. Since it was her pet, not having a name seemed inconvenient.
"Indeed... it should have a name," Uncle Schoonheim responded.
"I need to think of a nice name. Uh... I say... Bell, how long are you going to hold on?" Ellie glared unhappily at Bell, who was still clinging tightly to her waist with her eyes squeezed shut.
"Until we land... Mmm... So high, so scary!" Bell replied, trembling.
Ugh... This good-for-nothing. If she hadn't clung to her, would someone with her personality be able to overthrow Theocracy? Ellie couldn't help but wonder.
Let's ignore Bell for now and think about this little white dragon's name. 'Xiaobai' definitely couldn't be used, as she had already given it to one of the Soul Eaters. So... what should this dragon be called? Ellie pondered.
Soon, Ellie seemed to remember something and glanced at Bell, who was still clinging to her waist.
"Bell, what was that delicious pastry you mentioned yesterday, the one only produced in that village?"
"Th-that was Robel Sticky Rice Cake," Bell replied with a hint of confusion, probably wondering why that was being brought up now.
"Robel Sticky Rice Cake, huh... Speaking of which, Robel Village is my hometown," Uncle Schoonheim said.
"So, that delicious Robel Sticky Rice Cake is made in Uncle Schoonheim's hometown? Then it's decided... this good boy's name," Ellie said, as if she had thought of something.
"Is it Robel? To name this giant dragon after my hometown, I'm truly flattered!" Shu'enbeimu said, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"Is that so... In that case, let's just call him Sticky Rice Cake then... Alright! It's decided! Good boy, from now on, you'll be called Sticky Rice Cake!" Ellie quickly took the opportunity to descend the steps. Ellie never intended to call him Robel anyway. Why should her pet be named after a small village in Theocracy? Don't be so self-important, Uncle!
"Sticky... Sticky Rice Cake? Th-this... calling such a majestic dragon by that name... I'm afraid..." Uncle Schoonheim looked awkward.
Precisely because he was majestic, she deliberately gave him such a cute name! This could subtly highlight how much more majestic and powerful his owner was!
"Sticky Rice Cake, are you satisfied with the name I gave you?" Ellie completely ignored Shu'enbeimu's opinion and turned to ask Sticky Rice Cake.
Sticky Rice Cake slightly raised his head and let out a cry. Although she couldn't understand the meaning, she could roughly tell that he seemed very happy (probably)?
"See? Sticky Rice Cake himself is very satisfied with the name I gave him!" Ellie said, as if she understood dragon language.
"As long as he has no objections, that's fine..." Shu'enbeimu could only accept it. Sticky Rice Cake was summoned by her, so he had no right to say anything about its name. He just felt that it was somewhat unfitting to give such a majestic and powerful dragon the name of a dessert.
Or perhaps? This giant dragon... was like a Sticky Rice Cake in this child's eyes? One must remember that this giant dragon was directly summoned by this child!
