Everyone sat down on the chairs that were surrounding a table that Mark also conjured.
“Whatever decision we made tonight, I’m glad that we have a dragon. I feel secure that we have such a creature defending us,” Norunta the witch said while she was arranging herself on the chair.
Everyone else nodded at the witch’s comment about having the dragon for their security and Mark was glad that it was a permanent summon. He wondered if he could leave it here while he was dungeon diving. He would need to experiment to check.
“I think the best attraction that we can use the dragon for is what I call a thrill ride. We can construct some sturdy seats that can be tied on the dragon and then our customers can be strapped in on the seats. We’ll let the dragon fly above the circus rapidly and do some unpredictable maneuvers.”
Mark took his laptop and searched for the 1983 film National Lampoon’s Vacation since this was the first movie that he could think of containing a roller coaster scene. He searched for the scene and then showed it to everyone. He also showed a video clip of the roller coaster scene from the 1993 movie True Romance so everyone would get the idea of what a roller coaster was.
“That is a brilliant idea and people will pay a lot of coins to experience the thrill of riding a dragon that way! Not only that, the straps on the seats would make them feel secure!” Dozon commented while watching the roller coaster scene on the laptop.
Hamil then turned to Mosalan the halfling and asked if they could construct a seat like that for the dragon.
“We can but we need to wait until we reach the next village which is four days from today or if you want to do it right now, we can go ahead and go to the forest and select some trees and the elves can use magic to age the wood,” Mosalan said.
“How long will it take you to complete the seats?” Hamil asked.
“With the help of the dwarves and magic from gathering the trees, about a day and I’m being generous,” the halfling replied.
“We’ll camp here for a couple of days and we’ll debut the dragon ride on the next village as an experiment,” Hamil gave his decision.
“I still could not believe that we can use a dragon like that,” Solinae said.
“It’s a golem, not a true dragon but I can understand your feeling,” Mentorra stated.
Mark then thought of a wild idea.
“Hey anybody wants to fight the dragon? Of course, I’ll make sure that nobody is hurt. You can destroy the dragon if you want and it will also allow us to see the dragon’s full capability.”
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
“I want to fight the dragon!” Barak shouted.
Even the elven sisters, Dozon, Hamil, and Mosalan were interested.
“It would be best if we do it tomorrow when it’s bright so everybody can watch,” Hamil said.
A lot of people were still gathered at the dragon looking at it closely and the void dragon was just looking back blinking at them.
Actually, Mark found the Void Dragon a bit adorable, especially because of its huge blinking eyes and dumb expression. It had the same expression that the plant golems had and based on the other people’s reactions; they also found the dragon adorable looking. The children were particularly enamored with the mythical creature and he was so glad that it was one of the skills that he received when he reached level ninety.
“Okay everyone, I will need to unsummon the dragon to see what it will do and I will summon it again immediately,” Mark announced while he was clapping his hands to get everyone’s attention.
The dragon was unsummoned by Mark and it flew up, ripped a hole in space, and entered the void. If it was an anime, Mark would have said that the unsummoning animation was very cool. He then cast Floating Sunflower to make sure that his MP was topped up and summoned the dragon again. Just like the first time, a hole in space above the circus appeared and the dragon entered the world. Mark scrutinized the dragon minutely to check if there was any difference and he didn’t find any so he wasn’t sure if it was the same dragon.
He was still wondering just like with the plant golems if he was summoning the same creatures every time or if the golems were always newly formed from void energy by the system. Mark then commanded the dragon to rest beside the circus near his RV then he went back to join his family for dinner.
While they were eating inside the RV, the twins asked him a very important question related to the dragon.
“Mark, what’s the dragon’s name?” Aaron asked.
Mark was taken aback. It never entered his mind to name his summons because they didn’t have any personality so in his mind he just named them number one and number like the bush golem number one and bush golem number two or the tree golem number one and tree golem number two.
“It doesn’t have a name. I know we will make it an event! I will ask Hamil to hold an event for everyone to try to name the dragon and based on voting, the winner will receive a prize!” Mark suddenly announced to the kids.
“Let’s name him Chewbacca!” Isaac announced which made Mark laugh and incredulous at the same time.
“We can’t name the dragon Chewbacca. Your snow rabbit is already named Chewbacca. By the way, where is it?” Mark asked since he had not seen the magic beast for quite some time and he totally forgot about it.
The twins suddenly looked guilty.
“We brought it to the forest near the city and it saw a female snow rabbit and two snow rabbit babies and it followed them so Chewbacca is gone with a new family. We didn’t tell you since we thought you’d be angry.”
Mark gaped in surprise when he heard the story about the rabbit.
“Well, he’s not my pet, he’s yours so it’s your decision. Anyway, it’s a good thing that he now has a family of his own. Back to the dragon, as I’ve said we can’t name him Chewbacca, and as I have said it will be a contest that everyone will vote on. The winner will have a prize! So go ahead and think of a suitable name.”
Mark wondered if the twins would name every animal they wanted as a pet Chewbacca. After dinner, he told the twins to wash up and ask Milena to continue reading to them the second book of the Harry Potter series and then rest since the next day there would be a grand battle between the dragon and the circus warriors.
When the twins heard that they were too excited and Mark realized that it could have been a mistake sharing that information with them that night.
