lord and his dragon

Before Negrim finished eating, Vis ate nearly [-] catties more meat than Abel, but after Negrim finished eating, Abel ended the battle before Vis.

He was originally a dragon, and his ability to accept raw meat is much better than that of humans. Although he doesn't like to eat it usually, but now he has no time to pay attention to it. Taking care of Negrim is obviously more important, so the meat skewers are only slightly grilled. Roasted, stuffed half-baked into his mouth when he thought of it, filling his stomach pouch in a short while, and nestled aside with the drowsy Negrim in his arms.

Negrim originally wanted to take the opportunity to get some more words from Sigmar, and although Weiss had nothing to do with the crisis in the marginal forest and was full of doubts, the plan never changed. He didn't expect that he was so weak. He just walked a little more during the day. The accumulated exhaustion and Abel's embrace made him fall asleep almost as soon as he was full. When Weiss and Sigma also When he started to feel drowsy, Abel couldn't bear to wake him up who was sleeping soundly.

However, if you want to know the information, you don’t actually need to wake up Negrim to ask questions, because Abel and Negrim have been getting tired of being together, and they can’t get in the relationship at all. Sigma and Weiss have gradually become acquainted After getting up, although Sigma was unwilling to disclose the matter of the marginal forest to others, when Weiss asked the question, he also told him some information that had nothing to do with the elves. Abel just needs to listen quietly, tomorrow Just relay these words to Negrim.

The Marginal Forest has a vast area, and there are countless creatures living in it. Although the four most famous and largest races are elves, centaurs, orcs, and dwarves, there are also many unknown races with smaller groups living in it. Sigma explained these small groups to Weiss carefully, such as goblins and goblins, and emphasized their dangers, and warned Weiss not to enter the marginal forest at will to avoid harm.

Abel also took advantage of Sigma and Weiss to go away the next day, and relayed these words to Negrim who fell asleep early, making the latter feel a little better.

"We really know too little about the information on the Border Forest. It turns out that there are so many small ethnic groups besides the four major races, and we don't know what their power is. Is it necessary to win over them?"

The way Negrim originally used to take over Gaiden was to win over the weak forces first, then encroach on the medium-sized forces, and finally wipe out the large forces. Although they would not use violence against the alien races in the marginal forest, it would be better if they could unite more groups. OK

Hearing this, Abel thought he had forgotten the dangers of those races, and quickly reminded him, but Negrim just twitched his lips and said, "Sigma hates humans entering the marginal forest. Confiding to Weiss, of course, intends to scare away the other party with half-truths and half-truths, and at the same time scare away those who may get this information from Weiss."

Negrim was lying on Abel's back, pinched his ear, and said, "You know that Sigma can hear the voices of both of us talking, how could Sigma not know that you are eavesdropping? If it is true I only intend to say it to Weiss alone, so I must go far away, to a place where you can't hear me."

Negrim's somewhat cold hands squeezed Abel's heart, and quickly freed up a hand to cover him, and said in his mouth: "Then there is no need to listen to these words?"

Negrim let him wrap his hand, thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Not necessarily, the elves are so naive, they probably don't know how to lie very much, that is, they can still screen out us if they make the facts serious. For information you don’t know, if I fall asleep again at night, you can continue to listen.”

Abel nodded, and was about to say something more, when Weiss in front shouted loudly: "There is a stream! Abel! Alba! Come drink water and wash your face!"

Negrim wiped his face with clean water when he got up in the morning, and didn’t wash himself well at all. Abel also knew that his master was uncomfortable, so he shook Negrim lightly to make sure his back was stable, and then he opened his legs , trotted to catch up.

This creek lies across a clearing with sparse woods. The source is unknown, but it is crystal clear and there are fish in the water. According to Sigma, this kind of water source occasionally appears in the forest, except for the possibility of encountering the same Apart from the beasts that came to drink the water, there was basically no danger, and the water quality was quite good.

After Sigma and Weiss took care of it and started to be vigilant, Abel put Negrim down, first fed him and drank water, then took out a clean cloth towel to wet the water, and cleaned his teeth and washed his face.

Negrim was already used to being served by him, but when he was waiting, he inadvertently raised his head and saw both Weiss and Sigma looking at him. The former had strange eyes, as if he wanted to ask something but didn't know how to say it appearance, but the latter's expression is entangled with a trace of kindness that is difficult to detect...

It's as if Negrim is some cub that can't take care of itself after leaving Abel.

But apart from the word "cub", the rest of this sentence is actually very close to the truth.

Negrim couldn't bear the gaze of the two, and was determined to let them see that he was able to take care of himself, so with a gloomy face, he pushed away Abel who was holding a wet cloth, and leaned on his cane, slowly Slowly moved to the water's edge, leaned forward to hold water to wash.

Abel didn't know what happened. He watched Negrim go to the water's edge with a helpless face, and went to protect him because he was afraid that he would fall into the creek, but he didn't expect to be driven away again. He could only watch Watching Negrim wash his face.

In the end, it was cleaned, but Negrim's neckline and sleeves were mostly wet, sticking to his body wetly. Abel was once frightened by Negrim's serious illness, for fear that he would catch a cold in the forest. There was no place for medical treatment, and Negrim was angry, so he held him in his arms to dry his clothes.

Negrim was also a little guilty. He thought that he was not so absent-minded, so he wanted to show it in front of the other two, but he didn't expect to prove it in reverse. He couldn't help watching Sigma and Weiss for a while. reaction.

Sigma has self-servingly identified the identity of Negrim's cubs, holding the idea that cubs need encouragement and protecting their self-esteem, and when he sees Negrim looking over, he immediately turns his head away, making him think that he is He didn't pay attention to his mistake, and turned Weiss's head away, because the movement was too big, and Weiss twisted his neck and wailed for a long time.

Seeing their reactions, Negrim couldn't guess what the two of them were thinking. He glanced sideways at the worried Abel, sighed, and decided to give up.

He just couldn't live without Abel, so what?Isn't this a matter of course!

The four of them marched all the way to the northeast, and Negrim finally realized the huge area of ​​the marginal forest. When they came in, they were still in a relatively peripheral area, and some of the scenery could overlap with other forests outside. Later, they saw The plants and animals in the world are completely different from the outside world, and ordinary wild beasts are invisible, and almost all of them are monsters that use elemental power and mutate their bodies.

Fortunately, the four of them were all experts except Negrim. Occasionally, they were near misses, but no one was injured.

Sigma is used to these things, and he is not afraid of them. Instead, he will insinuate and warn them that the marginal forest is so dangerous, and they must not try to enter alone without a guide.

Negrim and Weiss also nodded in agreement, thinking that elves are really not good at lying. He originally thought that three points of what Sigma said to Weiss were false, but now he can confirm that nine points are true up.

Along the way, thanks to Weiss' many questions, Negrim followed up and figured out the situation in the marginal forest.

It turns out that the marginal forest is not entirely a dense forest. In addition to the territory of the outer elves and centaurs, there are actually areas with relatively sparse vegetation in the deeper places, where the orcs live, and in the direction further west of the orc territory, It couldn't even be called a forest anymore, but a large rocky place, where the dwarves lived.

According to Sigma, the orcs are all right, they just eat meat, and the dwarves are a group of guys who don't know how to cherish nature. They cut down a lot of trees and built that rocky land into a messy dwarf city, full of The iron stove was emitting black and pungent smoke, and it was not cleaned as cleanly as the human city Gaden he had seen, which made him very disgusted.

Sigma finally concluded with dissatisfaction: "The dwarves should get out of the marginal forest and go to be with humans!"

Weiss did not object to this sentence, but showed a yearning expression, and said: "It would be great if the dwarves were really willing to go out. I heard that the weapons they forged at will are better than those carefully crafted by human masters. The most exquisite craft Dwarves can even forge artifacts!"

Weiss touched his broad sword and said, "Although this sword was given to me by my teacher, if there is a better one, I would like to change it!"

Negrim: "..."

In a way, Weiss is also a very straightforward person, and I don't know if his teacher will cry when he hears this.

Weiss was unaware of his speech, and after he finished speaking, he begged Sigma to take him to meet the dwarves after completing the task. He really wanted a good sword, but the proud elf didn't want to deal with dwarves at all, so he decisively Rejected him, Nao De Weiss also had a dispute with him.

A group of people walked in the marginal forest for five days, and almost all of them adapted to the environment here. Only Negrim, who stayed on Abel's back for most of the first day, now stayed in Abel all day On his back, he refused to force himself at all.

So on the sixth day, they still found nothing, and even Sigma began to lose his composure. Since he left the marginal forest to find the Lord of Dragons, he has not yet found a chance to return to the elves. How are the queens doing?

The four moved forward in a restless mood. Suddenly, Abel stopped in his footsteps. He raised one hand to protect Negrim, frowned, and raised his head to sniff the surrounding air carefully.

Immediately afterwards, Sigma also stopped and made the same movement as Abel. Only Weiss and Negrim looked puzzled, not knowing what happened.

After a while, both Abel and Sigma stopped and said one after the other: "There are corpses nearby."

"Some large animal died nearby."
