prince and dragon

A middle-aged man stood by the small window of the hotel, holding in his hand the bread made by the hotel according to the unique recipe.

The middle-aged man gracefully took a bite of the bread, then gracefully picked up the cup placed on the window sill, watched the scenery outside the window covered in light rain, and took a sip of wine.

There was no change in expression on his face, as if he was just enjoying the scenery calmly.But his eyes revealed a certain sense of nostalgia, even full of joy.

The current location of the middle-aged man is far or near from the Lasai Kingdom in the middle of the mountains.However, the landscape of the two places is quite different.

One is the ups and downs of mountains and mountains, and the other is flat without mountains.

Whether it is flat or undulating, middle-aged people like it.

For many years, he has not walked outside in the state of a normal human being.

The middle-aged man took another sip of wine, slowly put down the wine glass, his eyes gradually became distant, as if he had penetrated time and space and landed on the other end of the years.

He was a young human mage then.

Young people are always energetic and curious. Although becoming a mage requires a calm heart, they can't resist the word young.

So after formally bidding farewell to his teacher, he, a young mage, embarked on a journey.And his goal is to go to every corner of Izbel, find out those things that people are not familiar with or have never seen at all, and then record them.

Along the way, the mage encountered many things and encountered many dangers, but the mage can always resolve these threats with his strong strength and clever mind, and he can also comprehend something from these experiences and create something. A useful little spell.

But to be honest, some of the spells in it were not used very often, and it could be said that they were useless at all, but he was reluctant to give up, so he wrote them down on paper so as not to forget them.

Time passed slowly in the alternation of thrills and blandness.The young mage was very satisfied with this life, and he thought he would always be happy with it, but all that changed when he met someone.

In fact, to be more precise, this "person" is not a person, but a dragon.

The young mage was surprised that a dragon maintained a human form and lived in a place where humans lived.Because according to previous records and his own field observations, dragons don't like human form, and in the consciousness of most dragons, human form is a form that insults dragons very much.

He clearly remembered that when he was looking for a single-winged butterfly in a certain mountain range, he saw two dragons fight because they used their human forms to scold each other. The flames they spewed almost burned him, an innocent observer .

So this dragon that maintains its human form is really special.His curiosity told him that this dragon is a very good object of observation, and he must follow it closely so as not to lose it.

In this way, the young mage followed a dragon that maintained a human form, climbed over a mountain, passed through many rivers, passed through many villages and small towns, and finally walked into a place with a powerful enchantment.

The young mage watched the humanoid dragon enter the barrier without hindrance, and followed.

The mage is good at arranging barriers, and he is also good at breaking barriers, so it took him almost a moment to enter the barrier like that strange dragon.

The plants inside the barrier were much bigger than the plants outside the barrier. The mage looked at the strange dragon walking in front of him, and felt a little funny for some reason.

He felt that the strange dragon didn't need to be like this at all, because in contrast to these ridiculously large plants, they were like a real human and a dragon maintaining human form.

As insignificant as dust.And it's pointless to hide it so carefully.

Of course, seeing the strange behavior of this strange dragon, the mage became more and more interested in this dragon that seemed to have a secret.

To be cautious, the mage quickly checked himself, and after confirming that he had completely concealed his aura, he quickly followed the dragon that was getting farther and farther away from him.

He followed that strange dragon for a long time, and the scenery changed all the time with those outrageously large numbers. Suddenly, the strange dragon stopped, circled behind a tree, and poked its head towards the side of the tree. Looking around, it seems to be peeping at something.

When the young mage saw the dragon's movement, he also began to guess in his heart. Curiosity tormented him, and asked him to see clearly what the dragon was looking at first.

So the young mage approached the strange dragon cautiously, risking being discovered.

The young mage was getting closer and closer to the humanoid dragon, and then he turned and jumped to hide at the other end of the huge tree, poking his head out in imitation of the dragon.

Then the young mage was shocked by what he saw before his eyes.

It was a huge lake, as big as the sea. Of course, a lake as big as the sea was not worthy of the surprised expression of the well-informed young mage.

What really surprised the young mage was that dragons gathered one after another by the lake, and some dragons had one or two huge eggs beside them.

The mage snapped his fingers lightly, guessing that it was the egg of a young dragon.

My God, he actually saw a gathering of dragons, and it seemed to be a gathering of female dragons.

This is really rare. No one has ever mentioned that dragons will gather together. He must write down what he saw today in his diary.

But what is that strange dragon peeping at these female dragons for?

The young mage glanced in the direction of the strange male dragon, and suddenly felt that the strange dragon was a bit wretched.

The young mage flashed this idea, and saw the strange dragon sneaking towards the direction where the female dragons gathered.

The strange dragon was well hidden, and it was not discovered by any dragons along the way.

Probably because humans are too small for dragons.The mage guessed in his heart.But what exactly is it going to do?Could it be some obscene things?

The strange dragon did not approach the female dragons in the end. It moved to the side of the huge lake. When the dragons were not paying attention, it pulled a very inconspicuous plant by the lake, and then quickly returned to the lake. It turned out that he was hiding under the tree.

The young mage didn't see exactly what the dragon was pulling when it was by the lake, so he kept staring at its hand when it came back, trying to see clearly.

Well, now that the mage was getting more and more suspicious about the strange dragon, he felt that if he didn't figure it out, he wouldn't be in the mood to do anything else.

So the young mage followed the strange dragon out of the enchantment, and saw the strange dragon enter an empty cave. In order to avoid being exposed, the mage didn't follow, but just waited outside.

The mage restrained his curiosity and refused to go in.

Suddenly there was a dragon's cry that sounded very painful from the cave.Now the mage couldn't restrain himself anymore, so he broke into the cave.

Then he saw a giant dragon lying on the ground, seemingly fainted.

This is so strange.The mage sighed in his heart while taking out the healing potion from the ring that the teacher gave him.

No, he couldn't wait any longer.

So the young mage didn't leave until the black dragon woke up.Because he wanted to ask the black dragon directly about his doubts.

Of course, the mage didn't think that the black dragon might not answer him, so the young mage said that he didn't mind using some small means to get the information he wanted.

However, the strange dragon's reaction surprised the young mage a little.

The dragon gave him a dazed look at first.

"Human?" The voice seemed to come from the nasal cavity, which was in line with the state of a dragon just waking up, but the next second, the strange dragon let out a loud cry.

"Humanity!"

The young mage thought it would attack him, and was about to recite a defensive spell, but unexpectedly, the dragon didn't move, but the eyes that were only opened a slit widened suddenly.

The brilliance in those huge eyes made the young mage startled.

This strange dragon seemed very pleasantly surprised to meet him as a human.

In fact, just as the mage guessed, the strange dragon has a very good impression of the mage, a human being. After learning that it was the mage who saved him, his affection for the mage has increased to an unprecedented height.

And the mage got his wish and knew the whole story of the thing he had been curious about.

The strange dragon is called Black, a very common name, but what it likes is very unusual in dragon society.

It is a dragon that likes humans, and it also likes its own human form, but because it has little experience in getting along with humans, it has never observed humans carefully, and it is also more afraid of revealing its dragon identity.This time, there is a human who is not afraid of it, saves it again, and is willing to talk to it at such a close distance. It is not to mention how happy it is.

This time it was mainly because other dragons were very uncomfortable with its behavior, so they beat it up. In order to hide from those dragons who wanted to beat it up, it took grass that hides the breath of dragons, and hid in a human town. The dragons who were looking for it all left.

But it has encountered a more serious problem - that is, it can't change back to the form of the dragon. Although it loves the form of human beings very much, it is too inconvenient to do so all the time.

So it decided to sneak into the Dragon Valley, the gathering place of the birthing female dragons, to get the antidote of the previous grass.

Then he found a cave and swallowed the thing he pulled out of it whole into his mouth.

And then there was what the young mage saw - it passed out from swallowing too many antidotes.

The young mage heard it interesting, so when Black asked to go with him, he agreed.

Unknowingly, Zhonglong and the mage forged a profound friendship.

One day, they came to a country called the Kingdom of Paz.This was a special country to the young mage and dragon.

Because there is actually a giant dragon guarding this country.

Blake sensed the dragon breath around him and somehow felt that this country was very kind.

Of course, people who like humans as much as it does make it feel very kind, so Blake decided to make his home near this country.

But the young mage couldn't stay in one place for such a long time, because he felt that it was too boring.In the end, Black and the mage separated in the Kingdom of Perth.

But it's not so sad, because the mage made a long-distance teleportation array near Black's cave, and he can come back at any time.

The mage will sit in Black's cave every once in a while. He knows that although Black is less interested in treasures than other dragons, he actually likes it in his heart, so he always brings it with him every time he comes. Something he collected elsewhere.

They were weird things, but Blake loved every one of them and kept them well hidden.

Unknowingly, 20 years have passed, and the young mage has become a middle-aged mage. Black's appearance has not changed much, but both the human-shaped Black and the dragon-shaped Black look very weak.

"Blake, what's wrong with you." The middle-aged mage was very worried.

"I'm probably about to be taken by death," Black said weakly.

"How is this possible, you are still a very young dragon!"

"It might be the side effect of the antidote." Black said lightly.

"There must be a way to make you recover."

"No need, I know my situation." Black grabbed the mage's arm and stopped him from going out. "I still want you to be by my side at the last moment of my life."

"I originally thought that I might be able to last until the moment of death with you, but it doesn't seem to work at all. No, no, listen to me, I'm going to die now, but I hope you can live longer, I know you're still alive There are a lot of places I haven’t been to.”

"So after I die, I hope you can dig out my heart. This is the secret of our dragons. As long as you eat our newly dead heart, you can prolong your life and become stronger." Black's voice It gets weaker and weaker, and eventually disappears completely.

The middle-aged mage lowered his head to listen, and suddenly heard Black's voice disappear, and immediately raised his head, only to find that Black had closed his eyes.

Then watch as the magic that maintains its human form dissipates, revealing at last a lifeless dragon lying on the cold ground.

The middle-aged mage shed tears silently—for this dragon best friend in his life.

Soon, the middle-aged mage calmed down. He felt that the cause of his best friend's death must not be the problem of the antidote.

Instead of digging out its heart as Black said, he buried Black's body whole.Then entered the city of Paz.

The middle-aged mage spent a day in the royal city, and through the bits and pieces of information given by the residents of the royal city, he finally knew the real reason for Accelerated Black's death.

It is also because the dragon has such a strong sense of territory, how can it not respond to intruders.

According to the residents of Wangcheng, the giant dragon had a fight with a foreign dragon that day, and the dragon was beaten all over the body, and then the dragon escaped.

The middle-aged mage was very calm. He thought a lot that night in the black dragon's cave.

He found the stele that was treasured by Black, and read the words on the stele carefully.

Then he cast a curse on the giant dragon in the kingdom of Paz, controlling the dragon to destroy the royal city.

Then he appeared as a hero again, gained the trust of the king, and got an important item to implement the eternal spell.

He killed the dragon and drew a magic circle with dragon's blood, then recited the spell.

To be honest, after becoming a dead spirit, he did gain more time to do what he wanted to do.But he also found that the forcibly changed lifespan made him feel more and more boring. He is no longer in the skin of an eternal human. Although he can use the transformation spell to disguise, he has completely lost the feeling of being a human being, and even the feeling of being a creature. Nothing at all, no pain, no taste.

Food that looks so tempting tastes so bland.

After hundreds of years in this way, the mage finally figured it out, so he began to study the method of breaking the spell.

He tried many methods, but the safest one was to transfer the spell.

Then, he began to intentionally leave clues.

After hundreds of years, he finally met the right person.

Unexpectedly, the boy also became friends with a dragon, and it seemed that he had a deeper obsession than him.

The mage was very happy and didn't make things too difficult for him and the dragon.

After the spell was successful, the mage, who was reborn, left immediately.He went to re-experience the feeling that a human being should have, and by the way, he also went to get back the power he had scattered in various notebooks.

Especially the notes kept by the kid named "Trace".

Recalling this, the middle-aged man sighed, because he thought of the time when the old Tracy's candle was approaching.

Maybe this is the cycle that life should have.

The middle-aged man took a bite of the bread in his hand, and thought of the dragon and the boy again.

Originally, he went to the Kingdom of Lasai because Trace said that some of his books were with a dragon over there. After meeting the little dragon and the little boy, he actually forgot a few books that contained his power.

I don't know what their final decision was.

The mage picked up the wine glass, paused suddenly, put down the wine glass again, and pursed his lips.

The black dragon hugged Yiru and kicked open the door of the mage's room.

"It seems that you have thought it through?" the mage said.

"Remove his curse!" The black dragon took out from the black bag the necessary items he had collected to remove the spell, and stared at the mage loudly.

"Aren't you worried about what I said earlier?"

"I will find a way in the future. I can't watch my little treasure suffer like this all the time. I hope my little treasure is healthy."

"You really think about it?"

Black Dragon nodded firmly.

"Actually, there is a way to fulfill your two wishes." The mage smiled.

"What method?" The black dragon looked at the mage suspiciously.

"Sharing life connects you and his life. If you die, he will die, and if he dies, you will die too."

The black dragon was silent.

If it was true it would certainly be willing to try it would not want his little treasure to leave it.

"Actually, you can trust me. In fact, I have never hurt you." The mage sensed the doubts of the black dragon and said.

"But you made him suffer like this." Black Dragon said bitterly.

In the end, the black dragon accepted the mage's proposal.

Seeing Yilu whose face returned to normal, Heilong always breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, will this spell of yours have any side effects?" The black dragon hugged Yilu, squinting at the mage.

The mage didn't answer right away, it took him too much energy to cast the spell just now.

"Of course there is."

"What is it?" Black Dragon asked nervously along Shunyilu's hair.

"As I said before, you die, he dies, he dies, you die."

When Heilong heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he hugged Yiru who had not yet woken up and left.

A light "thank you" was left behind.

It was a particularly sunny morning, and Yiru woke up very early as usual.

But as usual, he couldn't get up as soon as he woke up, because the black dragon was holding him tightly at the moment.

Yilu didn't feel uncomfortable at all, instead, he observed the black dragon sleeping closely, then kissed the black dragon's lips a little, and smiled.
