Uh... that's the only way to explain it, right?
After the summoning was complete, the white dragon lying on the ground raised its head and stared intently at Ellie. Everyone else was intimidated by the oppressive presence of the giant dragon before them, completely unsure how to react. Bell, on the other hand, was so scared that she plopped directly onto the ground.
The giant dragon looked at Ellie, and Ellie looked back at the giant dragon without flinching. After all, it was summoned by her... there was no need to be afraid. She had a whole bunch of existences at home that were even more terrifying than this dragon, and she often chatted and laughed with them.
So, the dragon lowered its head to Ellie, and Ellie directly placed her hand on the giant dragon's forehead, stroking it.
"Good boy! From now on, you're my pet." Ellie had originally intended to say 'mount,' but she felt that 'pet' sounded more imposing. After all, having such a fearsome-looking creature as a pet was the only way to show off her prestige!
"This... this is truly..." The old woman looked at the giant dragon before her, unable to speak coherently.
"Bernice-sama, thank you for providing the gold coins, which allowed me to successfully summon. I will definitely fulfill my mission in this operation." Ellie turned her head and said to the old woman, then in a few steps, she jumped directly onto the giant dragon's back.
"I... I look forward to your performance." The old woman replied tremblingly.
At this point, Ellie should have ordered the giant dragon to fly and leave, which would have been a magnificent ending. However... Ellie glanced at Bell, who was still sitting on the ground... full of helplessness... how did she end up with such a subordinate?
"Bell! Hurry up and get on! We're leaving!" Ellie shouted helplessly.
"Get... how do I get on..." Bell was still sitting on the ground, trembling... "Good child, grab that useless human sitting on the ground over there and bring her up to me, but don't hurt her." Ellie could only patiently order the giant dragon. She saw the giant dragon pinch Bell with its claw, as if pinching a bug, and then placed her next to Ellie.
As soon as Bell got on, she immediately hugged Ellie's body, trembling non-stop... Really.
"Shu'enbeimu Uncle, would you like to ride with us? It would be good for you to guide the way, as my subordinate and I have never been to the Southern Great Forest." Ellie extended an invitation to the uncle.
This was true... Bell also didn't know the way there. Although they were going to fly in the sky this time, it was a large forest, and it would be easy to get lost even from above. Besides, Ellie had a good impression of this uncle, so taking him along wouldn't hurt.
The uncle nodded silently, and imitating Ellie's previous actions, he jumped up in a few steps. Although he looked quite old, his movements were still quite agile!
"Alright, then we can depart! Destination! Southern Great Forest!" Ellie stomped on the dragon's head and pointed forward, shouting something incomprehensible. Although it looked quite imposing, it would have been even better if Bell wasn't still hanging from Ellie's waist.
After receiving Ellie's command, the giant dragon stood up, spread its wings, let out a roar, and then flapped its huge wings to take flight. The airflow from its wings blew the attendants on the ground all over the place, which was quite comical... "Are they finally gone? Although we lost thirty thousand gold coins, our gains are far greater than those thirty thousand gold coins!" Raymond said, watching the distant figure of the giant dragon. The other Holy Scripture Chief Priests behind Raymond all nodded in agreement.
