If one were to say that Noah inherited Daddy's talent and diligence, and Luna inherited Mommy's occasional airheadedness, then their little sister Aurora must have inherited that stubborn donkey temperament in their parents' bones completely.
'This kind of personality is indeed suitable for doing scientific research, but don't use it on your eldest sister, okay?'
The little pink-haired girl squinted her eyes slightly, then waved her hand, "Hmph, although I don't know what your purpose is in secretly watching Mommy work, but next time, don't expect me to save you again."
Noah shook her head and smiled, "So is that sentence meant for me? Or that so-called ghost?"
Shiing!
Little Light suddenly stood up, quickly walked in front of Noah, then held her little face with both hands, "Big sister, believe in Little Light, Little Light will definitely save you!"
"...Alright, I'm sure that sentence was said to me."
Luna straightened up and raised her little hand, "Ano ano~ what game are we playing today?"
"What do you want to play?", Noah asked.
"Emmmm..."
Luna rarely began to think, she only fully activates her little brain when struggling over what game to play or what to eat for dinner.
But after thinking back and forth, she realized they had already played all the games they could play this summer vacation, playing again wouldn't feel fresh.
So, the little dragon girl gave up thinking.
"I don't know eh..."
While the three little ones were fretting, two maids passed by the training ground.
One of them seemed to be holding some event's promotional poster in her hand.
"Oh, what an interesting way to play, I've never heard of it before eh."
"It's said to be a game introduced from another race, thrilling and exciting, and also very brain-burning."
The two dragon maids each held one end of the poster, enthusiastically discussing.
Luna heard the sound, immediately stood up and ran over.
"Sis Miss, Sis Elia, what game are you guys talking about?"
Miss bent down and handed the promotional poster in her hand to Luna, "Your Highness, we're talking about a real-person interactive game that's recently become popular in Sky City, look."
Luna took the poster with both hands. The main image on the poster was a giant castle, appearing mysterious and unpredictable under the night sky.
Beside it were a few bats in graffiti style, which didn't look very scary.
Luna read the words on the poster, "Sky City's latest large-scale real-person interactive game, explore the mysterious castle, help the princess find the murderer hidden among the crowd..."
"That's right, Your Highness, if you're interested, you can have His Majesty and the Prince take you to have a look," Maid Elia said.
Luna's eyes lit up. She indeed hadn't heard of this new game before, and just the promotional poster had completely piqued her interest.
"Thank you, Sis Miss, Sis Elia," Luna politely thanked.
"You're welcome, Your Highness."
Luna held the poster and ran back again.
After sitting next to Noah and Little Light, she spread out the poster.
Noah and Little Light also leaned in.
"Real-person interactive game? Sounds quite interesting," Little Light also seemed very interested in this game.
As everyone knows, the keywords real-person and interactive combined together, the easiest result is, fun.
And as the Silver Dragon clan's first god of joy, Aurora naturally didn't want to miss such a good opportunity for fun.
"Right right! Little Light wants to go, how about you, Sis?", Luna asked excitedly.
Noah continued reading the content on the poster, "Game duration is at least seventy-two hours, suitable for class gatherings, family and friends in teams... optimal number of players is eight..."
Noah softly counted the number of relatives at home, "Daddy, Mommy, Luna, Little Light, me, counting Aunt Isa that's only six people. We don't have enough people, Luna."
Besides real-person and interaction, another keyword for large-scale real-person interactive games is 'large-scale.'
Besides the plentiful seventy-two-hour game time, there's naturally also a requirement for the number of people.
And with the Melkvei family's personality, they definitely wouldn't 'carpool' team up with others for the game.
Luna pouted her lips, once again started brainstorming, "Then... then we can call Sister Shirley."
"Sister Shirley is out on a mission, she hasn't been home for a while."
"Wuu... then what about Sis Milan and Aunt Anna?"
"Sis Milan's daily work is also a lot, she can't spare the time; as for Aunt Anna... she doesn't seem to like this kind of game very much."
The ahoge dragon girl felt like the sky was falling, and once again flopped lazily onto the grass.
Little Light also seemed a bit disappointed, lowering her head and fiddling with her light pink tail tip, saying nothing.
Noah lowered her eyes to look at the poster, and at the very top was a note about the real-person interactive game's champion mechanism and prize.
"No matter if it's the good guy camp or the werewolf camp, as long as all the triggered missions in the game are completed, they are the winner of this game."
"The winner will receive the castle's hidden ultimate secret item, Black Holy Stone."
After that, there was also a parenthesis, and inside was an explanation about the 'ultimate secret item.'
"Game prop 'Black Holy Stone' is made from absolutely safe material 'Night Crystal.'"
"Night Crystal... I remember the teacher mentioned in class, it's a not very common but also not very useful magic material. It can only be used to make some pretty decorations."
But thinking about it, most people participating in this game are just in it for the novelty and fun, so the final prize doesn't really matter much.
["Kid, that's not some 'useless magic material.'"]
At this time, the 'ghost' who had been silent for a long time suddenly spoke.
Drip—
Water droplets fell from the dark golden ceiling into the water under Noah's feet, ripples spread from her as the center, eventually stopping in front of the white dragon.
'What is Night Crystal?', Noah asked.
["In ancient times, the dragon clan used Night Crystal to enhance the magical circuits in young warriors' bodies, allowing them to use more intense magic while not harming themselves."]
The ancestor explained calmly, ["Additionally, it can also improve the efficiency of magic condensation."]
Upon hearing this, Noah raised her brows, 'Since Night Crystal is so effective, why is it no longer used now?'
["Because to activate the Night Crystal, special magic is needed."]
Special magic.
Noah instantly understood what the ancestor meant, 'Only primordial power can make Night Crystal truly effective, right?'
["Hmph, smart kid."]
The ancestor said, ["Then, Noah, our opportunity has come."]
Noah blinked, 'What opportunity?'
["Since you don't want me to use your mother's wedding gift, then Night Crystal is its alternative. We need it, to help us gather primordial power faster."]
["So... this game, you must participate in it, and you must become the winner."]
'But you must've heard just now too, even counting Aunt Isa, we don't have enough people to join this game,' Noah said.
["Use your clever little brain and think of a way. Think, if it were your invincible father, what would he do?"]
Hearing this, Noah pondered for a bit, then replied in a very serious tone, 'He'd have to find a way to get out of the wheelchair first.'
This answer from the dutiful daughter carried a trace of dark humor, but that's indeed how things were.
Let alone the issue of numbers, even if they managed to gather enough people, Daddy's legs aren't in good shape and can't participate in such an interactive game.
And although the ancestor was unwilling, she didn't have any other solution either.
Night Crystal, even if it's basically just used as a material for crafts when not powered by primordial force, it's rare, something you can't just get easily.
Thinking that, the ancestor sighed lightly, ["Alright. But if there's a chance, still try to get it."]
It was rare for the old lady to speak to her in a negotiating tone, which showed that the Night Crystal was indeed very important to her.
So Noah naturally couldn't respond with the usual bickering tone.
She nodded, "Okay, I got it."
After exiting the consciousness space, Luna and Little Light were already there preparing to play blindfolded ghost catching.
This game was a bit old-fashioned, but it was classic enough. Barely qualifying as a treasured go-to game for the little dragon girls.
"Big sis come quickly~", Luna waved at Noah.
"Coming!"
Noah responded and immediately got up and ran over, joining her younger sisters' game.
As for the real-person interactive game, it could only be put on hold for now.
———
However, two weeks later, just as the three sisters were about to forget about it, Helena and Claudia came to visit the Silver Dragon clan.
After all, being the Sea Dragon Clan's Crown Princess and future Sea Dragon Queen, Leon and Rossweise naturally received them in person.
Compared to previous meetings, the beautiful woman's outfit today looked more casual, her long blue hair was loose, with light makeup, enhancing her elegant charm.
And when Noah heard Helena was here, she also excitedly ran to the courtyard.
"Long time no see, Rossweise."
"Long time no see, senior."
"Aunt Rossweise, hello~", Little Helena greeted warmly.
Rossweise slightly bent down, silver hair falling forward, reaching out to ruffle Helena's little head, "Hello to you too, Helena."
"Hi Leon, your legs seem almost healed?"
Leon patted his knee and smiled, "Yeah, Rossweise used the Silver Dragon clan's secret medicine, and I recovered soon after."
"Secre...t medicine? What kind of secret medicine works that quickly?", Even the well-informed Claudia became curious.
But with this question, the couple were stumped.
The two looked at each other blankly.
The queen's gaze carried some faint resentment, as if saying "Idiot, why speak so much!"
Leon shrugged innocently.
But honestly, the so-called 'secret medicine' was really hard to explain.
That was—
Dragon Power.
Because Leon was desperate to recover and dive into the next stage of training, Rossweise helped him search for all kinds of miracle medicines for external injuries.
But none of them actually worked.
