Embarrassment of Golden Dragon Tails

For Tais, this trip to White Rock City was basically a pleasant one.After coming out of the "Needle Point and Spool" clothing store, they successively knocked on the doors of a spice store, a food store, a grocery store, and a magic supply store, and collected goods that almost filled half of the compartment—— Mostly food.

The man who ran the spell shop was a middle-aged mage, and Vera looked very familiar with him.While they were "communicating" between mages, Tails was busy searching for missing materials in the mage's tower, as well as interesting-looking spell artifacts—anyway, the mage paid for it, and the carriage was not full.

Tails was bewildered as he searched a shelf in a corner.This shelf is full of various bottles and jars, as well as some strangely shaped items. They seem to be magical, but Tails has been thinking about them for a long time, but he still hasn't figured out their use.Some of the items looked somewhat similar to an organ in his human form, and some of the things in the bottles and jars looked very delicious, and some looked very strange.Tails tentatively opened a can, which was filled with amber-colored gel, and exuded a refreshing sweet smell, which smelled quite delicious.

So Tails decided to buy it back and have a taste.Of course, before tasting it, you have to ask the mage whether it is poisonous or not.

Tails unscrewed the bottles and cans, smelled them one by one, and threw all the delicious ones into the handbag.

After searching the entire store, Tails walked towards the mages with a heavy bag.

While counting items, the middle-aged mage complained to Vera, from the lunatics in Nilu, to the recent lackluster business; from the too little subsidy given to him by the city lord, to General Quentin's defeat again.He let out a long sigh and said sincerely: "Vera, you don't know how much I envy you. If I wasn't dragged down by this store, I really want to find someone like that, the town you live in is called What's going on?"

"Don't kill my town," Vera replied.

"Oh, yes, don't kill my town. I also want to stay in such a remote place that I can't remember the name, and do some research with peace of mind, instead of facing these worthless things here all day long, and calculating these trifles You know, Nilu's Santees fanatics can do anything, if they hit White Rock... Well, I have to fight my old bones for that little bit Reward! You are the smartest, run to the edge of the forest..."

The middle-aged mage's words suddenly stopped, he stared at the goods in his hand in astonishment, and then glanced at the rest of the handbag.After that, his eyes flicked back and forth between Vera and Tails, looking very complicated, and quite... unbelievable.

After hesitating to speak a few times, he finally pretended to be unintentional and asked, "Vera, do you... have that?"

"That?" Vera was very puzzled.

The middle-aged mage frowned, and changed his expression, "That's...that, do you have a legal partner?"

"No, why?" Vera looked at him with some doubts.Most wizards do not want to marry, lest the trivial domestic life disturb their spiritual concentration.Therefore, when the other party asked this suddenly, Vera was somewhat puzzled.

"Uh... so... well, I shouldn't ask too much. But I'm curious, are you buying these spells for others, or are you going to study these spells?" the middle-aged mage asked curiously.

Vera's gaze finally landed on the jar in his hand and examined it carefully.After seeing the purpose of this thing, the smile on his face was rarely frozen, and he couldn't help but glanced at Tails who was curiously studying a magic chandelier.

The atmosphere was very awkward.

Vera quickly broke through the embarrassment, and told the middle-aged mage firmly: "Oh, it's like this, one of my servants is getting married, this time I'm here to buy some for him..." Vera smiled meaningfully, " Items he needs. Newlyweds are always nice for those who like to look for trouble, don't they?"

The middle-aged mage nodded and agreed with his statement.However, his eyes still flew over Tails quickly, then swept down to Vera's waist, and turned around his hips, showing a trace of clear and concealed disdain.

Vera caught his eyes keenly.So, before leaving, he took a brief look around the shop.

No one noticed that some valuable magic artifacts disappeared from the shelf and slipped into Vera's handbag.

The carriage was packed to the brim, making the journey back to the Wizard's Tower even longer.Vera was driving the carriage, while Tails was lying on the roof of the carriage, looking at the white clouds in the sky leisurely.

In the past, whenever Tails looked up at the sky, he would miss his dragon form very much.The Soul Blood Pact bound him very strictly. He pondered over and over many times, but he never figured out why the mage refused to allow him to freely return to his dragon form.He had experimented before, and without Vera's permission or the intervention of others, he couldn't leave the Mage Tower for ten miles at all.And this range, at most, just happened to come to the town of Do not kill me.Since it is impossible for him to escape, why does the mage insist on not letting him enjoy flying?

Back then, the mage beat him to the punch and used extremely despicable means to force him to sign a soul blood contract and become the mage's servant.Tails had to succumb to the power of the Soulblood Pact, reluctantly obeying Valar's orders through the Soulblood Pact.At first, whenever he thought of these, Tails wanted to tear that damn mage into pieces.Before Charlie came to his door, the mage had forced him to do many errands as a servant, which had greatly humiliated him.What frightened and resented him the most was that he gradually got used to this kind of humiliation and began to do these jobs voluntarily.

Realizing this, Tails fell into deep fear. Once he got used to humiliation, sooner or later he would forget his pride.It can be said that at that moment, Tails' hatred for the mage reached its peak.

And after that...

Tails sadly found that he was not only used to being driven by the mage, but also gradually defeated by the mage's good cooking skills. Moreover, since he had Charlie at his disposal, his hatred for the mage dissipated faster, and even, Now, he didn't want to see the mage die in front of him.

A bird flew over Tails' head and flew to the southwest.

In that direction, there are endless Manos Mountains, and under one of the mountains, there is his lair.In his short dragon life, Tails didn't collect too many sparkling things, just enough for him to lay a small piece of thin carpet on which he could sleep.Although there are not many good things, it is better than a mage's tower of gray stone and black wood.

But to Tails' surprise, at this moment, three days after leaving the mage tower, he began to miss the monotonous, boring mage tower with only gray, white and black.

Loneliness is a knife that kills people without blood. In the long years, it is everywhere, like a shadow.Although you can't see it, it will show its head when you look at the bustling village in the distance alone; when you wake up suddenly in the middle of the night; .

Not fatal, but painful.

It was never good food and shiny gadgets that defeated him, but long periods of loneliness.

The late summer sun was warm, and amidst the rattling of the wheels, Vera's voice came, somewhat dissatisfied: "My dear servant, come down and drive, if you haven't been melted by the sun."

Tails didn't move, he looked at a white cloud that looked like a fat rabbit, and asked Vera: "Despicable mage, if the human army hits the mage tower, what are you going to do?"

"What should I do?" Vera's tone was very relaxed, "Do you think my mage tower is worth occupying?"

"I mean, if."

"That depends on how many of them there are." The mage replied easily, "Neru's lunatics are unreasonable at all, and Santis' battle priest is very difficult to deal with. But I still don't think my mage tower is occupied. Value, the wood spirits will not allow a group of lunatics to stay in front of their house, they will kill the group of lunatics, just like they did to me four years ago."

"you?"

"My dear servant, don't ask such insignificant matters anymore. The result is obvious, I stayed and got their permission. But..." The mage changed his tone, "Tals, you really don't come down to drive the car ?”

Tails remained silent.He looked at the blue sky, and for the first time, he didn't have the desire to spread his wings and fly.
