Embarrassment of Golden Dragon Tails

Tails was dreaming again.

Recently, he often dreams.The dragon's sleep should have been sweet and steady, but now he often had trouble sleeping on his pillow—even if all the shining treasures were used as a pillow.

Today's dream is very strange.Tails first dreamed that he was chasing prey near the den. It was a strong long-horned deer with a strong body and quick feet.Tails swooped down, grabbed the deer with precision, and flew to the den.After throwing the deer at the door of the den, he folded his wings and planned to tear the deer apart for a good meal.Unexpectedly, the moment he opened his mouth, he saw a pair of eyes.Those eyes became clear before his eyes, moist and terrified, looking confused and helpless, as if full of deep pain and longing.

Tails felt very familiar, whose eyes are these?

The next moment, the picture changed.

He seems to have left his lair and came to a mage tower.This mage tower is very familiar, and Tails thought hard in his dream, but he still couldn't remember where he saw it.A familiar explosion interrupted his thoughts, and Tails saw Inosus hovering in midair, looking proud and powerful.And on the open space in front of the mage tower gate, there was a figure lying impressively.The figure was wearing a tattered black robe, with disheveled hair, and one hand stretched out from under the robe, twisting and raising it to the sky.The fingers of this hand were long and slender, and the back of the hand was covered with cracks, which kept oozing blood.A burst of inexplicable pain hit, Tails looked at the figure on the ground, and walked forward in a daze.

One step, another step.

Soon, he saw the figure's face clearly.It was an ordinary and mean face, with slender eyebrows, pointed chin, high cheekbones, narrow nose bridge, thin lips tightly pressed together, and a pair of dark eyes staring blankly at the sky above scarred light brown skin.

Under the gaze of Tails, his hand dropped, and at the same time, the pair of slender black eyes closed.

Tails' heart stopped.

He squatted down, stretched out his hand, brushed the long hair on the man's face tremblingly, and called in a low voice: "Vera, Vera! Vera..."

Vera opened her eyes, the dark eyes were cold.In the same cold voice he said, "My dear servant, stay away from me."

The next moment, he closed his eyes forever.

Tails' vision dimmed.

After waking up in the dark lair, Tails still felt uncomfortable with the blockage in his chest.So he left the nest, squatted on a high rock, blowing the night wind.The cold wind of early spring cut his scales and brought him back to his senses.

Half a year has passed since the contract with the mage was terminated.That day, after the mage unexpectedly terminated the contract, Tails once again enjoyed the long-lost freedom.After sparing the mage's life, he followed Inosus and left. When the mage's tower was about to disappear from sight, Tails looked back quietly.In the cold morning light, he vaguely saw the dark figure still standing there in the open space in front of the mage tower, lonely and persistent.

Tals did not fulfill his promise, and he refused to follow Innossus back to the Negril Mountains, but stayed on, in his lair.Inosus looked at him helplessly, and warned: "Tals, I can help you once, but I can't help you forever. That human being is a disaster. Now you don't want to kill him, and you don't want to go back with me. And that human has already mastered your real name, so sooner or later he will find you again and deal with you. At that time, I will never help you like this again."

Facing Tails' stubbornness, Inosus had no choice but to stay temporarily and teach him some knowledge that he should learn at his age.

A month later, Inosus was gone.Tails was left alone in the lair, feeling the long-lost loneliness again.Just like at this moment, he was squatting on a high rock, facing the rolling mountains alone, and the biting cold wind rolled up the dry grass and whizzed past.The night sky was still beautiful and terrifyingly deep.Tails closed his eyes, turned into a human form, stretched his limbs on the smooth rock, and let his thoughts go.

Vera.

Vera...

That despicable human mage left his mark on himself with extremely despicable means, controlled himself with the most vicious means, left a deep wound, and healed it with false friendship.As for himself, he never forgot about him.

The method of the mage is very effective. After experiencing the days of being accompanied by others, the loneliness becomes more and more unbearable.In the long solitude, Tails thought more and more of the mage's good cooking skills, the mage's words, the mage's cabbage tea, and... the mage's smile.And...Tals's heart tightened suddenly, and the figure of the mage in his dream reappeared in his mind, which made him very uneasy.

Tails opened his eyes.

The sky was vast, and in complete freedom, he suddenly began to fear.The inexplicable uneasiness drove him to make a decision, go back and have a look, go back to the mage tower that brought him complicated memories, take a look from a distance, look at the familiar tower, look at... that despicable the mage.

When the sun rose to the top of the mountain, the gray and white body of the mage's tower came into Tais' eyes.He had already turned back into a human form, and under the cover of the spell, he followed the narrow path overgrown with dry grass to the tower.

When he was less than a hundred feet away from the mage tower, Tails began to feel that something was wrong.Unlike in the past, the dark door of the mage tower was wide open, the window sash was broken, the outer wall was scorched black, and there were still traces of battle and some scattered items on the open space in front of the door.What's going on here?Tails' pupils shrank.He hid his tracks and approached vigilantly.Soon, he entered the mage's tower without hindrance.

What greeted him was chaos.The utensils of the mage tower were lying on the ground in all directions, and almost none of them were intact.Tails searched anxiously, and after making sure that there was no one around, he called the mage's name and searched every room.In the end, he stayed in the mage's messy bedroom and clenched his fists.

The mage has disappeared, and almost all valuable things in the mage tower have disappeared. It seems that it has undergone a complete looting.Tails' heart sank.Obviously, the mage's tower was attacked, and he had no way of knowing whether the mage was dead or alive at this time.Tails closed his eyes and took a deep breath.Then he started looking for clues.

At this time, something caught his attention.Under a mess of spellcasting items and a few nightgowns, Tails found a painting.The surface of the painting is covered with a membrane, protected by spells.And the painting itself is pretty badass, showing a dragon that looks like a butterfly.Tails picked up the painting with mixed emotions in his heart.He was quite sure that the painting was a golden dragon, but he was not sure if it was himself.The mage's painting skills are too clumsy to judge.

Tails put the painting in the pocket of his vest and continued to search for clues.

Got nothing.

Tails stood at the gate of the mage tower, carefully observing the dark gate, sensing the remnants of the spell. After 10 minutes, he withdrew his palm.Now he is very sure: this place has been attacked by divine magic, which seems to be related to Nilu's group of religious lunatics, but he doesn't know the whereabouts of the mage.Relieved from the initial shock, Tails was not too worried about the mage. The mage was insidious and cunning, and it was impossible for him to stay in the mage's tower and wait for death.

It's just... where should I go to find him?Tails decided to go to Don't Kill Wo Town first, and find Charlie to find out the news.

At this moment, a slight movement came from the southwest.somebody is coming!Tails dodged and hid in the mage tower, waiting quietly.
