Embarrassment of Golden Dragon Tails

Tails stood in the corner of the square, with his back to the square, stooped to stir the cauldron, adding some materials and a few pieces of firewood from time to time under Vera's order.The tall human figure increased the bending angle, which made his waist sore; while the green smoke from the damp firewood made his eyes red, swollen and painful, and tears ooze from time to time.At this moment, Tails's hatred for Vera reached its peak.

He has been forced to work all afternoon.Vera first ordered him to return to the Mage Tower to get back the materials on the list—in human form, after returning with a heavy package on his back, Vera ordered him to cook soup here.So he spent the whole afternoon stirring the damn cauldron here.Tails quietly wiped away the tears that oozed out again, and sadly found that if he smoked for a while longer, he might turn into dried smoked dragon, and he didn't even need to add spices to eat it.

The soup in the cauldron became more and more viscous, and when he heard Vera's voice of approval, Tails could hardly straighten up.Enduring the pain, he tried to stand up straighter.When he looked away from the cauldron, Tails was surprised to find that there was a complex magic circle on the square.After studying for a period of time, Tails has some understanding of human magic.Being able to draw such a huge magic circle in such a short period of time... Tails looked at Vera with more complicated eyes.

Vera sat leisurely on the chair in the middle of the magic circle, and waved to Tails.He asked lazily: "My loyal servant, is your waist okay? If you beg me, I am very good at small spells like massage."

Tails's back became more straight, he lifted his chin, and said proudly: "No, I'm fine now, I'm not a weak human being."

Vera looked very satisfied. He propped his chin with his right hand, tilted his head and said, "Then please ask your honorable Lord Jinlong to bring all the residents here."

"all?"

"Yes, all."

"..." Tails was so angry that he couldn't speak, he almost forgot about the soul blood contract, he just wanted to rush forward and tear this domineering human into pieces.

Vera gestured, and Tails succumbed.

When the moon rose to half the sky, all the residents of the town were in the magic circle of the square.Vera gave the chair to Tails, and Tails glanced arrogantly, and refused coldly. He stood against the wall of a house, leaning his back against the wall calmly, so that he could Sore legs relieved a little.

The square was full of townspeople, and Towers didn't have the virtue of handling and arranging them neatly. He threw these dying humans on the ground roughly, and watched Vera secretly while throwing them.But Vera seems to have no sympathy for the same kind at all, and has never said a word.

Now, Vera stood in the center of the magic circle and told about the hardships and the price to be paid to lift the curse, and read out the contract signed between him and the mayor. Pull nodded meaningfully.The harsh terms of the contract only aroused people's limited and weak protests. After all, what conditions are unacceptable compared to life?

After the reading, Vera announced that the town of Don't kill me would be officially brought under his rule. From now on, all the residents of Don't kill me should call him "the respected mage who saved our entire town" and obey him unconditionally. The command.Tails sneered at this, he thought Vera's head must be broken.But—the dreaded Lord Golden Dragon, who owns the treasures of our entire town, sounds really good.

Vera ordered Tails to distribute the boiled soup, each filling half a bowl.Afterwards, he stood in the center of the magic circle and chanted a mantra. His slender fingers flew around, drawing complex and graceful gestures in the air.Following Vera's chanting and gestures, the magic circle emitted a magnificent golden light, which became more and more dazzling and beautiful.All the townspeople were attracted by this ever-changing beautiful light, and temporarily forgot about their illnesses.

The rays of light gathered directly above the square, condensing into an extremely dazzling ball of light.Then it split into hundreds of light arrows and sank into everyone's body.

Tails watched all this from the corner, and found it strange: as far as he knew, it should be very difficult to lift such a large-scale curse, but when Vera, a huge and complicated magic circle, was activated, he couldn't feel it. How much magic fluctuates.He looked thoughtfully at Vera who was casting a spell, and smiled with unknown meaning.

The curse of Don't Kill My Town was successfully solved, the townspeople regained their lives, and Vera "conquered" the town, occupying one-tenth of the tax revenue and the best morning dew wine.Surrounded by the townspeople, he came to the winery enthusiastically, intending to search for all the stocks.The wine shop owner's daughter followed behind him with her head down, helping him mark the wine barrel.Seeing her tangled and hesitant expression, Vera snorted coldly in her heart: It seems that the freckled idiot in the basement still has some value in his 'princess' heart.

After marking all the casks he wanted, Vera found that Tails was missing.

In a room facing the square, Tails was telling a burly man about his discovery. "Mayor, I have sufficient evidence to believe that the so-called curse is the conspiracy of the evil mage. He cast a curse on you, and then pretended to save you, just to conquer you, what is it to rule this? Oh , don’t kill my town.”

The other party: "Where are my mushrooms?"

Tails: "What? Mushrooms?"

The other party: "Hehehehe... Mushrooms! Mushrooms!"

Tails: "..."

"My most loyal servant, what do you want to do with the mayor's brother? To discuss the secrets of picking mushrooms? Or do you miss the taste of cave mushrooms and want to talk to him? However, I don't think he may I can understand your words." Vera's voice sounded relaxed and cheerful, but Tails felt a cold wind blowing in the room.He looked at Vera and the mayor behind him in disbelief, annoyed.God!As a golden dragon, it is really difficult for him to accurately distinguish between similar-looking humans.

The night in the Mage Tower is dark and still.Tails lay on the bed with his limbs spread out and his blond hair disheveled, cursing the insidious and cunning Vera secretly.He was already sore all over, and he was taught a lesson by Vera, and now he seems to be falling apart.The door opened, and Vera came in. He was wearing a soft black mage robe, holding a cup of steaming liquid in his left hand.Seeing him come in, Tails calmly assumed a more elegant sleeping position in terms of human form.Vera put the liquid on the bedside, and said: "Commonberry tea is generally used to relieve fatigue, and it also has a certain effect on pain. It is also good for sleep, but the effect on dragons remains to be verified."

Tails looked at him bitterly, without saying a word.

The silence lasted for a long time, until Tails couldn't help finding a topic: "What did you do to those humans?"

Vera raised one eyebrow, "What did you do? As you can see, I saved them and turned that rumor into reality."

"How did that curse come about? Don't tell me it has nothing to do with you."

Vera shrugged and said coldly: "Cursing is not my strong point. There are many people who are good at cursing, such as Erji's priests. But this is not a curse, but they are self-inflicted."

Tails was confused.

“What a creative way to cook tami goat with copperbeard.”

"You mean?"

"Actually, it's not a big deal. Without me, they would have been vomiting and diarrhea for about a week, and they might have survived."

It was late at night, and the Mage Tower fell into a peaceful sleep.And both Vera and Tails seem to have forgotten something, what exactly is it?

In the deep basement of the mage tower, the forgotten Charlie wailed in despair.

Digression: The Legend of the Copperbeard Grass

According to legend, in a corner of the multiverse, there is a dwarf named Brian Bronzebeard.Once, he found a fragrant long-leaf grass that looked like a culinary herb and looked delicious.The curious dwarf tried to put it in his mouth.After chewing twice, his face twisted, he spat it out, and cursed viciously: "This thing smells worse than my beard! Only those green-skinned beasts are anti-dwarves like this. You might like it!" Since then, the copperbeard's name has spread throughout the multiverse. [The above is pure nonsense.
