lord and his dragon

Abel said that the orcs shouldn't come because he thought the orcs were rude, but Nigrim said that the orcs shouldn't come because they shouldn't come to the castle now.

As a lord, Negrim certainly knows that although the orcs are rude and not smart, they are also a large group in the marginal forest. Establishing diplomatic relations with them is actually equivalent to opening a channel for conquering the marginal forest. He doesn't mind the orcs offending him. But he didn't think the orc should have been here so early.

You know, it was only a year ago that Gaiden City was completely stabilized, and it was only three months ago that the non-human races began to appear. Thousands of years of human beings completely let go of their vigilance, and even took the initiative to go to the castle of Negrim to discuss business matters.

Just by looking at that orc's haughty attitude, one can tell that if there is no special situation, even if they want to cooperate, it is definitely only possible for Negrim to enter the marginal forest, not for them to run out.

"It's a bit strange," Negrim said with a frown, "Maybe something happened inside the orc clan."

When Negrim said this, Abel also understood, and he said, "Would you like to investigate?"

Negrim thought for a while, then shook his head.

Since the orc had already come to the door by himself, the matter would be revealed without too much investigation, so there was no need to waste that effort.

Negrim had a lot of work to do. After putting the orc affairs aside, he lowered his head and began to look at the ledger sent by David.

David was very moved by the castle where Negrim lived now, but he had no idea what the castle looked like when Negrim first came here, and the current magnificence was all created by Negrim himself. built up.

Negrim had just flipped through the ledger when there was another knock on the study door.

Negrim raised his head and said, "Come in."

The person who opened the door was the butler, which made Negrim's expression soften a little. He saluted Negrim respectfully and said, "My lord, there is a caravan coming from the Chenxing Kingdom, and they are going to pass by Gaiden." and Harlan Town, want to visit you, please let them pass."

This is actually a very common thing. After Gaiden settled down, caravans began to pass by here one after another. They either wanted to take a shortcut that they couldn't take before, or they wanted to find some margins from here. The special product of the forest, and passing through here requires the permission of the lord, that is, Negrim. They will present some gifts to Negrim so that he will not withhold their goods. During the peak season, Negrim used to Received five caravan leaders in one day.

Negrim didn't take this matter to heart, and only said: "When? I'm free for the next two days, call him."

The housekeeper responded and said, "If you are free, it will be around tomorrow afternoon. The team leader will come with a gift."

Negrim nodded, indicating that he understood, and the steward withdrew.

There were quite a few things piled up today, and after Negrim finished reading them one by one, it was already time for dinner. He raised his head and found that Abel was standing far away, looking at him eagerly with a pair of green eyes.

Negrim remembered that he asked the other party to stand aside, and he couldn't help raising his eyebrows. He stretched out his hand and waved at Abel as if teasing a puppy. His dragon knelt on the carpet like when he was a child, and couldn't wait to lean on it. come over.

It's still hot, Negrim thought, touching Abel's face, but it's okay, he likes it.

-

The leader of the caravan arrived at the castle the next afternoon, but Negrim was not in a good mood at this time.

Negrim didn't rest well, he obviously drove Abel to the carpet next to the bed last night before going to bed, but for some reason, he also rolled under the bed when he fell asleep, and fell asleep on Abel's body for a while. Night.

It’s not that it’s not easy for Abel to sleep on his body. Although Negrim has grown taller, the height difference between him and Abel has actually widened a lot. It can be said that the latter can be used as his bed, but Abel Bull was so hot that Negrim was baked like a pancake all night, and when he woke up in the morning, his throat was so dry that he couldn't speak.

Because of this, Negrim kept his face straight today, and did not say a word to Abel, who was so anxious that the latter looked at him with his watery green eyes all day long, hoping for his forgiveness.

Negrim ignored him. This kind of method is fine once or twice. It has been used every time, and it has long been useless. Besides, Abel has grown up. Afterwards, the eye sockets became deeper, and the area occupied by the eyes on the face became smaller, and they looked affectionate, almost as if they were asking for love. This made Negrim very uncomfortable, and he didn't even want to forgive him.

The two were arguing awkwardly, plus they hadn't had a good rest, so Nigrim was naturally not very happy, and even looking at the caravan leader was not pleasing to the eye.

But after all, he has been the lord for so long, and he would not bring his emotions to this kind of thing. He only said a few words, didn't pay much attention to that person, and let him leave.

The team leader seemed to have carefully prepared a lot of words, and he was unwilling to be ignored by Negrim. He emphasized several times that the gift he sent Negrim would definitely like, and hoped that Negrim would take a good look at it.

Negrim didn't care about this at all, and let him leave after a few perfunctory words.

The current territory of Negrim is different from the past. Although it cannot be said to be very rich, it is not considered barren. Coupled with Gaydon's particularity, many caravans actually hope to cooperate with Negrim to sell marginal forests Outflow of goods, but Negrim has no such plans for the time being.

At dinner time, Negrim was in a better mood, and finally he was willing to talk to Abel. As if he had been pardoned, the latter hurriedly cut meat for him and served soup, almost feeding it directly into Negrim's mouth. Although this kind of thing did not happen before, at least Negrim didn't want Abel to feed him today. He ate some himself, and the rest went to Abel.

While watching Abel stuff food into his mouth quickly and without embarrassment, Negrim couldn't help but think of Alan.

His "chief guard" fulfilled his promise and left when the situation in Gaydon had just stabilized a year ago. He didn't know where Alan had gone, and he didn't think about asking about it. Since then, The guards selected the strongest among them as the captain, but some more difficult tasks could only be handed over to Abel.

Four years have almost allowed the roots of the two plants to grow together. Negrim doesn't like Abel leaving his side frequently. Whenever he can't see each other, there is always a vacancy in Negrim's heart. Then, he blamed it on his desire to control, this is his dragon, his strongest power, which must be under his control at all times.

This seems to be a natural state of mind.

Negrim looked down at his legs and the cane beside the chair again, his eyes gradually sank.

For a long time, when Abel was about to finish eating, Negrim thought of something, he clapped his palms, and the butler appeared out of nowhere, and saluted him, "What's your order?"

Negrim said: "Didn't the caravan leader say that I would definitely like his gift? Show it to me."

It was the first time that Negrim was in such a mood. The butler was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and gave orders. After a while, a waiter came to Negrim with a small box the size of a human head.

Negrim gestured for him to put it on the table, and said, "Open."

The attendant did so, and Negrim looked up, and found that the small box was full of gems of various sizes, large and small. Compared with the gifts sent by other caravan leaders, these gems were indeed extraordinarily valuable.

But it didn't make Negrim like it that much.

Negrim glanced at it half-heartedly, and was about to ask the attendants to take it down, but suddenly remembered something and changed his mind.

He reached into the small box and pushed aside the broken gemstones layer by layer. At the bottom, there was a green diamond the size of a pigeon egg.

The transparent and pure color almost immediately attracted Negrim's attention, and also made the waiter standing beside him gasp in amazement.

Abel's eyes were also attracted, he was stunned for a moment, then immediately looked at Negrim, and whispered: "Master."

Nigrim didn't look at him, but took the green diamond in his hand and admired it carefully.After a long time, Negrim smiled, put the diamond back into the box, and said, "Take it carefully. I really like this gift very much. The caravan hasn't left yet, right?"

The steward heard the words and said, "Probably not yet, caravans usually don't drive at night, and probably leave tomorrow morning."

Negrim nodded and said, "Then send someone there and call the leader again. I want to meet him again."

Hearing this, the butler responded, and took the waiter away. Abel looked at the back of the waiter, with a dim light in his eyes. When the back of the waiter disappeared, he quietly looked at Nig again. Ram.

After a long time, Negrim was finally willing to look at his face. Abel's expression made the corners of Negrim's mouth slightly curved, but he didn't show any traces, but hooked Abel's neck. collar, and tugged him towards her.

Abel snuggled into his lap obediently, lowered her body slightly, and looked up at him.

Under the illumination of the light, those melancholy green eyes showed unpredictable textures, deep and light, translucent and deep, which is far less beautiful than diamonds.

However, Negrim did not tell his dragon this, but lowered his voice, and said to Abel maliciously: "There must be other better-looking green diamonds in that caravan, lest he hide the good ones." You don’t want to sell it to me, why don’t you take me to find it first?”

The author has something to say: Negrim: It's so cool to bully dragons.

Abel: ...QAQ, wronged.
