Shengshuiyuan

Metropolitan Colt

The pale blond boy with a relaxed face sipped his fruit tea leisurely, looked at the bright sunshine, lowered his head and continued to flip through the thick and beautifully bound books in his hands.Beside him was a man with light blue hair and an innocent face, devouring a whole piece of roast beef intently.

Not far away, a white goshawk landed steadily on the table where the young man was sitting. The young man stroked the goshawk's head with tenderness and gentleness, and took down the letter bound on the goshawk's leg in a small bamboo tube and unfolded it.

Behind the boy, a man with white hair and animal ears walked slowly, looking at the boy with a happy face after reading the letter, he asked

"What is it that makes you feel so happy?"

Turning his head, Lantiere smiled lightly, looked at Li Muyan as he said the contents of the letter:

"It was sent by Monarch Fuer from the east. It said that Linna's birthday will be two days later. His Majesty specially invited us to attend Linna's birthday together with friends."

Narrowing his eyes and smiling slightly, Lantiere continued

"And it is possible that His Highness the Prince will also return to Fore."

Li Muyan raised his eyebrows with great interest when he heard His Highness the prince from Fore more than half a year ago.

"Oh? Your Highness the prince. I'm really looking forward to seeing him again."

Looking up at Fore, who hasn't been here for more than half a year and is far more prosperous than the last time he came, Lantiere was filled with emotion.

As the princess's birthday was approaching, everyone in the city became very lively, and there were a variety of shops along the street.

Just as Lantiere and his party were enjoying looking at the various specialty shops of Fore, a white-haired young man with horns suddenly passed beside him. He ran past Lantierre and his party eagerly, whispering is muttering something.He was about to run towards the crowd ahead.

Babur, who was dressed tall, looked at the short boy with horns who was less than his waist.In the next moment, he stretched out his thick arms effortlessly, grabbed the collar of the young man with horns and lifted him up and asked

"Hey! Where are you going?"

The young man with horns who had an eager face was suddenly lifted into the air, yelling with a frightened face

"Wow! Who are you! Let me down, I'm afraid of heights!"

Seeing Babur's rude behavior, Lantiere sighed softly, patted Babur's arm and said

"Bubber, you've frightened him, put him down quickly."

Realizing his reckless behavior, Babur scratched his head lightly and put down the one he had mentioned.

Exhaling lightly, to calm down his frightened mood, the boy with horns looked angry, and lightly kicked Babur, who was still smiling silly beside him.

Lantiyer smiled lightly, took out a bag of candy and handed it to the boy with horns, saying:

"Sorry, my friend's rude behavior just now scared you, this bag of candy is my apology."

Pursing his lips lightly, he took the candy from Lantiere, and the shofled boy said with a little embarrassment.

"Actually, it's nothing, you don't have to deliberately give me this..."

Looking at the boy who was no longer angry, Lantiere slightly raised his lips and asked

"Then may I take the liberty to ask, what are you going to do in such a hurry?"

Mentioning the place he was going to, the boy with horns said reverently

"The medical center in front is very famous, and the doctor there is very powerful. Although his feet were disabled many years ago, he relies on his hard work and practice, and his medical skills are very good! Moreover, he is also very willing to help the poor."

After finishing speaking, the boy with horns suddenly realized the purpose of going to the hospital, and said very, very anxiously

"It's bad, I have to go to the hospital! I almost forgot!"

Nodding lightly to thank Lantiere for the candy, the young man with horns eagerly ran towards the crowded medical center not far away.

Rococo on the side watched Lantiere give the only candy he had left to a strange boy, puffed up his cheeks slightly and said with dissatisfaction

"Ah! Rantiyer, how could you give my only bag of candy to that person?!"

Lantiere turned his head and looked doting, caressing Rococo's hair and comfortingly said

"This boy exudes the sweet smell of candy. Presumably he likes to eat candy a lot."

Saying that, Lantierre narrowed his eyes meaningfully and said

"I have a hunch we'll see him again."

Seeing a lot of people go to the medical center not far away, Rantiyer and the others also walked towards the densely populated but orderly medical center with curious faces.

At the front of the long line of medical clinics in an orderly manner, a man with light brown hair and cat ears with a gentle and serious face was softly instructing an old man in front of him on the precautions for taking medicine.The gray-haired man with animal ears beside him handed over the medicine bag. The old man thanked the cat-eared man with a grateful face, and then left slowly.

Feeling the probing gaze, the cat-eared man raised his head, and nodded politely to the pale blond boy who entered the hospital.

Two hours later, after a busy day, the man with cat ears exhaled lightly, and took a sip of the tea handed over by the man with wolf ears.

Turning to put down the teacup, he looked at the people in Lantiyer, who were not coming to see a doctor, but asked for medicine, and asked with a puzzled look.

"Excuse me, why have you been staring at us for two hours?"

Lantierre held the black jade flute in his hand, glanced at the wheelchair sitting under the man with cat ears and said

"We came here with no malice. When we passed by just now, I heard that you have excellent medical skills. It happens that my friend is from the pharmacist family, so can I take the liberty to discuss with you your thoughts on medicine?"

The cat-eared man with a gentle face nodded slightly to look at the white-haired animal-eared man who came with Lantiere. His face clearly belonged to the medicine master clan, and he slightly curled his lips and said with a smile

"As a doctor, I am naturally willing to have a good discussion with this person."

Looking at the obviously tired-looking man, the wolf-eared man next to the cat-eared man who has been silent all the time dissuaded him with a worried look on his face.

"You are already very tired today. It is better to rest more, or you will have a relapse."

The cat-eared man shook his head lightly, and patted the back of the wolf-eared man's hand to comfort him

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Hearing the wolf-eared man mentioned that the cat-eared man had an old disease, Li Muyan said

"Since you are a doctor, you must take good care of your body. If it is convenient, can you let me take your pulse, maybe I can cure your old illness."

Looking at the man with white hair and animal ears for the first time in front of him, the man with cat ears was too embarrassed to refuse, and said gratefully.

"Thank you very much then."

He took out the pulse pillow from his salute, and signaled the cat-eared man to put his hand on the pulse pillow, and the cat-eared man put his wrist on the pulse pillow knowingly.After Sumi, Li Muyan smiled lightly and said

"Looking at your pulse, you have this old disease, which is asthma. It's not congenital, but it's caused by injuries the day after tomorrow."

Nodding lightly and praising Li Muyan's excellent medical skills, the man with cat ears continued

"Mr. Li is really outstanding in medical skills. It is true that my asthma was caused by a previous accident, but it is not serious."

The wolf-eared man who brought tea to several people heard the cat-eared man say that his illness was not serious, but said angrily

"You said you are not serious? If you are not serious, every time you have an attack, you will suffer so much if you don't take medicine in time?"

The cat-eared man frowned slightly, looked at the wolf-eared man who was worried about him and said

"Daniel..."

Seeing the two people who were about to quarrel, Li Muyan eased the atmosphere and said

"Since it's a very serious asthma, I'll prescribe some medicine here, and you will be cured within a month."

As he spoke, Lan Nuo took out his pen and ink knowingly.Li Muyan wrote the prescription and handed it to the cat-eared man, saying:

"You just need to go to the Chinese medicine shop in the west to get the medicine according to the ingredients in this prescription."

Taking the medicine order with a grateful face, the cat-eared man smiled wryly with guilt and said,

"As a doctor, I need other people to treat me, it's ridiculous..."

The wolf-eared man named Daniel looked at the cat-eared man in the wheelchair, frowned slightly with guilt and said

"If you hadn't pushed me away back then, you wouldn't have become what you are now..."

Sighing lightly, looking at the man with a guilty face, he lightly shook his head and the cat-eared man said firmly

"Since I pushed you away without hesitation at the beginning, I don't regret it. Don't feel guilty anymore."

Curious about the conversation between the two, Lantiere asked the cat-eared man

"Listening to your conversation, your legs were caused by saving your friend. If it's convenient, can you tell me what happened back then?"

Lantierre turned to continue

"Don't worry, you two, we have no malicious intentions."

Shaking his head lightly, the man with cat ears said

"No, I'm already very grateful for the two of you who are willing to help me cure my old illness, and it's not something that I can't tell you about this kind of thing."

As he said that, the cat-eared man talked about the earthquake that happened suddenly nine years ago. He pushed his friend away and was seriously injured and his legs were disabled.

After finishing speaking, the man with cat ears introduced himself with a faint smile.

"Forgot to introduce myself, my name is Fran."

As he spoke, he turned to introduce the gray-haired man with wolf ears.

"This is my friend Daniel."

Nodding lightly and listening to Fran's introduction, Lantiere politely introduced himself and followed

"My name is Lantiere."

While talking, he introduced the person with white haired animal ears and other human beings who came with him.

"The ones who healed you were Li Muyan from Ning'an, my lover Rococo, my friends Yuren Lige, the burly and tall Babur, and Mu and Youze who also came from Ning'an. There were twins Wall and Carter and Lannor from the elves."

After Lantiere finished speaking, the introduced people greeted Fran and Daniel respectively.

The endless clear sky suddenly dimmed without warning.The originally peaceful land suddenly vibrated violently, as if a crazy beast was about to torment it.

The people who were celebrating their friend's birthday with happy faces suddenly felt the sudden danger and ran around in horror.A boy with light brown hair, a pair of furry cat ears on top of his head and a cat tail behind him.With a pale face, he panicked and looked around for his friends.

Before the boy could react, it was because of the huge earthquake.The wall behind the boy collapsed under the powerful shock.The young man dodged instinctively, and was about to smash into the wall that he had collapsed.He exhaled lightly, wiping the thin sweat from his frightened brow.The boy with cat ears continued to search anxiously.

A few hours later, everyone was still in shock and watched the end of the earthquake, and all the ruined buildings were crying in despair.

Unlike everyone's despair, the boy with cat ears digs stones with his bare hands, and still persists in looking for his friends.

Two hours later, under a large boulder that was knocked down by the earthquake, an inaudible voice called for help weakly.

"Help... who can help me..."

The cat-eared boy, who was frowning with worry on his face, turned the boulder away with great joy, and saw that his friend was crushed by the boulder, caught in the gap of the boulder, just scratched the skin, and there was no serious problem.

The boy with cat ears carefully rescued the boy with gray hair and wolf ears.

Just as the two exhaled lightly with the face of the rest of their lives, suddenly the ground shook again, and a five-meter-high boulder behind them suddenly made a loud noise and smashed down on them.At this critical moment, the boy with cat ears immediately pushed away his good friend, the boy with gray hair and wolf ears.Instead, he was crushed by the boulder and disappeared.

Just as the wolf-eared boy who was out of danger reacted in shock, the next moment, he looked at the cat-eared boy who was crushed under the boulder in horror, and shouted sadly.

"Do not!!!!"

The man with gray hair and animal ears, about 20 years old, was terrified, and woke up from a nightmare with a pale face.Touching his forehead lightly, he realized that he was covered in cold sweat.

Hearing the terrified scream of the gray-haired man with animal ears, a man with light brown hair and cat ears with a delicate face was about the same age as the gray-haired man with animal ears.Sitting in a wheelchair, he came to the bed of the gray-haired man, with a worried look on his face, looking at the man who just woke up from a nightmare and asking

"Daniel, I just heard your scream, are you okay?"

Exhaled lightly to relieve the overly agitated mood from the nightmare. The gray-haired wolf-eared man half-sat on the bed, watching the wheelchair rushing over, worried about the wheelchair sitting under the cat-eared man. The gray-haired man frowned. Frowning, he got out of bed with a guilty expression on his face, and hugged the man with cat ears tightly into his arms.

Stretching out his hand, stroking the hair of the gray-haired man who was hugging him tightly to comfort him, the light brown-haired man sighed softly, looked out the window at the moon half covered by clouds in the sky, and fell into deep thought.

Princess Forlina's birthday dinner two days later

All the people from different countries, identities and appearances congratulated the lovely princess who just turned 16 with joy on her face.

Just when everyone was in a happy mood and singing wine, a man with blond hair and white tiger ears in a pure white costume walked into the palace hall with a faint smile on his face.Gently bending her beautiful lips with a gentle face, she looked at the protagonist of today's birthday party dotingly.Open your arms and wait for the princess to rush over.

Seeing the person coming, Linna, who was chatting happily with Rococo, ran quickly with excitement on her face, threw herself into the arms of the man with blond animal ears and said with joy in her eyes

"I'm so happy! I've been waiting for a long time, brother, you are finally back!"

Speaking of which, Linna was sobbing in a low voice, raised her hand and patted the blond animal-eared man with a gentle face, stroking his hair, and said:

"I thought you didn't want me, brother!"

Patting his back to comfort Linna in his arms, the man with blond hair and animal ears comforted softly

"You are my only and most precious sister, how could I not come back."

Speaking with ease, the man with blond animal ears spread his hands lightly, and a brown cloth bag appeared out of thin air in his hand.Looking at the puzzled expressions on everyone's faces, the man with blond hair and animal ears curled up his lips mysteriously, and slowly unfastened the buckle of the cloth bag.In the next moment, amidst the astonishment in everyone's eyes, colorful, beautiful and agile colorful butterflies fluttered in large swathes of the hall from the small cloth bags.When everyone has not recovered from the appearance of the beautiful butterfly.The man with blond animal ears squinted his eyes and smiled and spread his arms. In an instant, the spacious hall seemed to be bathed in spring, and all kinds of beautiful and bright flowers and plants bloomed on all the utensils and pillars.You hold your breath, calm down, and you can still hear the beautiful sound of flowers blooming in an instant.It makes people feel like they are in a sea of ​​flowers in spring.

Seeing that the whole hall instantly became as beautiful as a spring day, Linna happily covered her lips, she was so moved that she was about to shed tears.

The blond man with animal ears who gave the gift looked at Linna with a faint smile and asked

"How is it? Do you like such a birthday present?"

Lina, who has not been relieved from the joy, turned her head to look at the man with the blond animal ears. She was so happy that she couldn't speak, she squeezed her lips tightly, and nodded her head vigorously.

Just as everyone was silent, they were in a happy mood after the special gift brought by the blond man with animal ears.Suddenly, without warning, a huge white snowball rushed into the hall like a whirlwind at an extremely fast speed.Before everyone saw who was coming, they heard a hearty and light voice from Snowball saying:

"Ouch! Oh my god! I'm freezing to death, it's killing me!"

Under everyone's amazed gaze, a black-haired boy with animal ears panted heavily, poking his head out of the huge snowball.

Seeing the head protruding from the snowball, it turned out to be a boy with black hair, leopard ears and wheat skin, Lantier approached and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Natsu, what's the trouble with you? Why did you suddenly roll into the hall in a snowball?"

Together with Naz, it was a huge and colorful macaw that poked its head out of the snowball. The macaw actually imitated a human being and spoke in a decent manner.

"Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng Leng!"

Natsu kicked it and said angrily

"Who told you to come in, get out quickly, your hair is so thick, why is it so cold!"

Like a human, the macaw shook its body vigorously, wrapping Naz and the huge snowball on it, and it exploded in an instant, scattering in all directions. Everyone instinctively used magic to block the huge snowball hitting their body.

Eliminating the cold snow accumulated on its body, the macaw slightly twisted its neck, looked like a rogue, and ran and jumped to the soft and comfortable bed of Lord Fuer, spread its wings, and stretched its body comfortably.Turning his head and tilting his neck to demonstrate to Naz, he laughed like a cheap man.

Naz looked at the large pieces of snow on the ground in the hall, and said embarrassingly

"Hahahaha... I'm sorry, this guy is too naive..."

As he said that, he sat down unceremoniously, picked up a roast leg of lamb, and began to gnaw on it.

Everyone was quite speechless for his familiarity, but he was not annoying.

Looking at Naz who was biting into the leg of lamb with a funny face, Lantier approached and asked

"Today is Linna's birthday, why did you appear in this way?"

Pulling the tablecloth on the table where the food and wine were placed, he quickly wiped off the greasy oil in his hands, and casually wiped his mouth with his hand.As if remembering something, Natsu jumped up with a slap on his thigh and said loudly

"Ah! I almost forgot! Do you know? It hasn't snowed for thousands of years, and suddenly a goose feather falls outside! After a while, the snow outside is already unbearable! The snow is knee-deep!"

A pale blond man from the elves looked at Natsu with a contemptuous smile as if he was watching a joke.

"Are you kidding me? Who doesn't know that Fore and the entire east are either full of spring all year round, or the other side is the hot desert, how can it snow heavily?"

Hearing Naz's words from the Arabian Nights, everyone walked outside the main hall and saw that the spring-like capital of Foreland had been buried by a large snow-white snow.In places that were seriously not strong enough, houses collapsed under the weight of heavy snow.People in the house screamed because the house was crushed by the heavy snow, and ran out in all directions.

Originally in a happy mood, I thought that the heavy snow that Naz said was a joke, but when everyone saw the sudden heavy snow, they were shocked from ear to ear.

Natsu scratched his head lightly and said with a silly smile.

"I was hit by a snowball from nowhere and flew here."

Just when everyone hadn't reacted from the heavy snowfall of Fore, a gust of cold and biting wind blew towards the people in the main hall. The people who were blown by the cold wind instinctively hugged their arms tightly and shivered from the cold.

Different from the outside world where the snow is falling heavily, not far away, the desert where the monsters looked around was also buried by heavy snow.All the ferocious monster instincts fell into hibernation.In a dark black house with a strangely shaped huge round roof, in a dark room, a tall and tall man wearing a cloak whose face cannot be seen looked sinisterly at the man who was surrounded by a lot of black ink. Bundled with green vines that seemed to be alive, a gray-haired man with wolf ears.The man didn't respond, he knelt and sat in the center of a huge bloody formation unconsciously.The originally radiant eyes, without the pupils, turned into bright white.The gray-haired wolf-eared man was like a puppet, allowing the dark and strange formation to crazily absorb his body's strength.The man in the cloak, with a triumphant face, approached the wolf-eared man who had been sucked in by the formation and had lost consciousness.Raising his fingers, he lightly lifted the wolf-eared man's jaw, smiling evilly.
