Chapter 420 Improvement
That day, Dick woke up.
Although his consciousness was still blurred, he was able to communicate in a simple way. Peggy was extremely excited and immediately bombarded Dick with a barrage of questions.
If Aaron hadn't persuaded him, and Dick still needed to rest, Peggy would definitely still be there, rambling on and on.
Peggy, despite her somewhat spoiled and pampered nature, is generally obedient to advice.
At times, they are able to consider others' feelings.
Of course, this is on the premise that the person herself cares.
Nobles are generally indifferent; those with compassion like Cathy are actually quite rare.
Harriet sighed in relief, looking exhausted, and hunched over as she sat on a bench in the distance.
Aaron walked over and said:
"Harriet, you've worked hard."
Harley nodded, forcing a wry smile:
"But all the hard work paid off."
"Yes," Aaron nodded, "How is Dick doing right now?"
"He's stabilized, hmm—he's a really tough guy. Anyone else probably wouldn't have made it through," Harriet said.
Aaron felt there were probably two reasons that helped Dick get through this crisis.
One reason was that Aaron deliberately added spices to Dick's diet.
While it's uncertain whether spices have the effect of boosting human vitality, their amazing properties are undeniable.
Another reason might be the changes brought about by the Dragon's Secret Technique to Dick's body.
Martial arts techniques and profound skills are all extraordinary methods for forging the body.
This is why extraordinary power will always subtly influence the user's physical structure, and if martial arts and profound principles are unified and become a "school", then this process will be greatly accelerated.
Bekas Byrne had an in-depth discussion with Aaron on this topic.
Therefore, Aaron felt that Dick's body might have undergone subtle changes.
If he truly becomes like a dragon, then Dick won't fear losing too much blood.
It is said that lava wriggles inside the fire dragon, mud churns inside the earth dragon, and the poison dragon is the embodiment of filth and poison.
There are also Corpse Dragon, Pterodactyl, Bone Dragon, Tree Dragon, and Ice Dragon.
Before the dragon-slaying movement, the whole world was ruled by all kinds of dragons.
However, very little information from before the Dragon Burning Disaster has been completely preserved to this day.
Therefore, Aaron also knew very little about dragons.
And let's assume that Dick's body is evolving in the direction of a dragon.
Therefore, it's hard to imagine that he would be killed so easily.
Of course, becoming a dragon is not necessarily a good thing.
All dragons share one thing in common: greed.
It is likely that the dragons' intense possessiveness is what drives humans to go to any lengths to slay them.
Aaron focused his attention on Harriet, who was standing in front of him: "Take some rest these days."
But Harriet shook her head: "It's alright, Mr. Mosley. You know I never hate being busy. Besides, working for you is very different from my previous experiences."
Aaron couldn't help but ask, "What's different?"
"You never demand anything of me, except for being exceptionally strict about the maintenance of books; otherwise, you basically let me do things according to my own feelings."
As she spoke, Harriet extended her index finger and scratched her cheek. "Actually, sometimes I want to slack off, and you've caught me doing it many times, but you never say anything. It gives me an unimaginable sense of freedom."
"Mr. Mosley, I feel very relaxed and happy working under you. And healing and helping others is something I want to do."
"Look, Cathy is such a kind boy. I also want to do my best to help others. Besides, this is also an opportunity to hone my medical and witchcraft skills!"
Aaron felt very gratified to hear these words.
He nodded: "Since you put it that way, I certainly respect your decision, Harriet. Once this matter is over, I think your abilities will definitely make a qualitative leap."
"But I still don't think I can beat Lola,"
Harriet lowered her head, seemingly recalling her last encounter with Lola. "Well, that time, I almost gave it my all, but Lola played me like I was a child, making fun of me. I can't even imagine defeating her."
Is this what they call the competitive spirit among girls? Aaron wondered.
But she still comforted him, saying, "Don't worry about it. Your abilities have different focuses. She can't save a dying patient. Besides, she definitely put in a lot of effort to defeat you last time."
"Really?" Harriet looked at Aaron with a skeptical expression.
Aaron nodded: "After all, killing you is undoubtedly much easier for her than defeating you."
Harriet's face immediately darkened: "Sir, this doesn't seem like consolation."
"Ha ha,"
Seeing Harriet's expression, Aaron couldn't help but chuckle.
Harriet laughed along with her.
When Harriet first came to the library, she was actually a girl who didn't smile much.
But recently, she has become much more cheerful and outgoing.
Was it because of Cathy, or because of Aaron?
Both are true, but most importantly, Harriet has a heart that strives for improvement.
Aaron told Harriet to continue sitting and resting, and then he went over to Dick.
Peggy stayed by the bedside, visibly happy.
After Aaron arrived, Peggy quickly got up.
Very good, she has fully accepted her role as a servant.
Dick opened his eyes and looked at Aaron, then quickly opened his lips and weakly called out:
"teacher"
"Don't speak," Aaron cautioned. "Listen carefully to what I'm saying; it might speed up your recovery."
Dick nodded slightly, trying to open his eyes as wide as possible.
"Try using the Dragon's Secret Technique, but don't use hand seals."
Upon hearing this, Dick's eyes were filled with confusion, and his lips parted slightly, as if he was about to speak.
Aaron interrupted, "You mean to say that the ultimate technique can't be activated without using hand seals, right?"
Dick nodded.
Aaron continued, "I'm not telling you to actually use it. You're too weak right now, and wasting your strength won't do you any good, so you can't use the hand seal."
"However, your dragon techniques are good for your body. Do you remember what that book was called? 'How to Train Your Dragon Uriel's Fitness Manual'."
"The word 'fitness' here isn't just clickbait; it really can strengthen your body."
"Listen carefully, Dick. Remember how you used to use hand seals and arcane techniques in the past; that's how power flows within you. Now, mobilize it and operate along that path."
"You can try various secret techniques, such as Fire Dragon Scale and Earth Dragon Arm—actually, the final Dragon Heart is better, but I guess you haven't learned that secret technique yet."
Dick nodded again and then closed his eyes, presumably doing as Aaron had instructed.
Seeing this, Aaron then left.
But Peggy followed: "Sir—"
Aaron turned around: "What is it?"
"Thank you!" Peggy bowed deeply. "Thank you so much, Mr. Administrator!"
Aaron smiled slightly, nodded, and left.
