Palm Dragon

Adrian still lowered his head until he returned to the tent.

Werther's magic fire did not know when it was extinguished.

Aini twisted her fingers nervously, but didn't know what to say, so she said good night in a low voice.

Iss sat obliquely on the chair beside the bed, watching Xiaolong silently enter the bathroom, come out silently with the scent of green grass essence, go to bed silently, and roll himself into the quilt.

Mr. Noble didn't make a sound, turned off the sheepskin lamp in the tent, and went to bed.

As in Pagrama, tuck the comforter into your bosom.

After a moment of silence, Adrian raised his head under the quilt, and his muffled voice came out of the quilt: "It's nice to have a family..."

Even if he taught him a tough lesson like Aini's older brother, he wanted someone who would worry about him and treat him fiercely.

No matter how much Mo Li cared about him, no matter how gentle he was, after all, there was no bond of blood.

Adrian knew this all too well, he couldn't find a position where he could act like a baby to Molly unconditionally, so he chose to live alone in Emerald Valley regardless of his objection.

Yisi gently lifted the corner of the quilt, and Xiaolong automatically rubbed into his arms.

He knows that dragons pay attention to blood, which is an innate instinct, even Adrian, who left his hometown since childhood, is no exception.This desire, whether it is love or friendship, has no possibility to replace it.

From the moment he was born, the concept of kinship was branded in his blood.

A tiny drop of water quivered on Adrian's eyelashes.

Essie kissed his eyes.

"Let's go to the holy imperial capital. Find your father."

"...Father doesn't want me."

Iss only felt that his heart was hurt by the words in a whisper that was almost inaudible.

"The eggs of the fire dragon, as long as there is a fire to keep roasting." Adrian buried his head in Iss' arms. "So I was hatched by two elders of the Dragon Clan. Molly was also on Dragon Island at that time, and the elders said he was my father's friend... They both told me that my father and mother were amazing dragons. They Ask me to stay at home and wait for them obediently, not to run around. I am very obedient. But," sniffed. "Neither my father nor my mother came to see me... In the year when I changed my teeth, a lost little yellow dragon passed by. I greeted him, but he said I was a monster. Then many dragons came to me …At that time, the elder went out almost every day, and Mo Li taught me how to read at home. He said that those dragons misunderstood. But he didn’t know that the little yellow dragon said a lot about my father and mother that day.” He knew himself It's a fire dragon, and I know that few fire dragons are black.

Ice hugged him quietly.

"He said my mother had died a long time ago...my father also abandoned me and left Dragon Island. I was a monster dragon nobody wanted. He also said that the elder had caused trouble...then Molly decided to take me away .”

Adrian fell silent.

"Ed's father may have some reason why he can't tell everyone, so that he can't accompany you." Yi Si wrapped Xiaolong's hand in his own. "But he must love you."

"...No. No dragon will let go of a child in its egg. A dragon that doesn't break its shell in the belly of its parents is an orphan." Adrian didn't continue, as long as he asked, Molly would not hide it him anything.Even if he moved to the Emerald Valley, knew his father's name, and knew that his father had returned to Dragon Island long ago, he didn't wait for any news in the valley.His powerful father, who had returned to Dragon Island and had a high status, did not come to him.When the snow on the top of the highest mountain in the valley melted into a creek No. 30, Charmander gave up waiting and expecting.

He began to happily plant fruit trees, raise chickens, and make cider by himself. After turning into a human form, he occasionally went to a nearby town to drink.

He didn't ask Molly why his father didn't come to him, and he never mentioned the Dragon Clan again.

until now.After knowing that the Dragon Clan would come to the sacred imperial capital, Adrian suddenly couldn't restrain his inner desire.

He wanted to see his father.

Don't call, don't disturb, just take a look from afar.

Even if he didn't want himself, Adrian still wanted to see what the dragon he should call his father would look like without dreams and imagination.

Just by looking at it from a distance, maybe I can happily go back to Emerald Valley and continue planting fruit trees.

And now in Emerald Valley...

"Iss, will you and Layton leave Emerald Valley?"

"Well... I don't know..."

"……Oh."

Iss took Adrian's face out of his arms and looked him in the eyes.

"Although the Emerald Valley is beautiful, if one day we have to leave, let's let Layton make a lot of snacks and eat on the way, and then go to a more beautiful place, okay?"

we.

"...Is~"

"kindness?"

"I like you."

Mr. Noble smiled in the dark, and shook off the quilt to wrap him and the little things in his arms.

"What do you like about me?" The corners of the mouth curled up in a proud arc.

"You're beautiful. Dragons like pretty things." Without hesitation.

The arc froze immediately.

Longan, who can see things clearly in the dark, immediately changed his face when he saw the other party.

Did you say something wrong? !Adrian forgot the sadness of the previous moment, became nervous, and hurriedly tried to remedy it.

"Well... Actually, it's not just because of appearance..." Xiaolong finally wasn't dull to the end.

Mr. Noble who was deeply shocked: "Then what else?"

This time Adrian thought about it carefully, and carefully listed the reasons why he fell in love with Yisi at first sight.

"You are not only good-looking..." Not only is it good-looking, but your whole body is shining like a jewel.

"Well Well?"

"You are still very rich, and you may have more wealth than me."

"And you have great taste, and the jewelry you decorate is top-notch."

"Your tea is delicious."

"Your butler's dim sum is delicious..."

"..."

"Is?"

"Iss, why are you silent..."

"Iss, you tore away the quilt..."

"Iss, it's cold..."

"Iss..."

Mr. Noble never responded, so the snobby and superficial Xiaolong had to freeze pitifully all night.

"Ed, do you have a cold~?"

Aini gnawed on the smoked pork sausage while carefully keeping a distance from Adrian.The resistance of elves is not as good as that of dragons, so you have to be careful.

Adrian squatted aside, watching Werther fry the sausage, and sneezed about once every three seconds. "I made Yisi angry." Xiaolong sucked his nose in sadness.

"What's the matter with you and him?" Aini asked gossipingly.He is not a fool, he has already seen their improper relationship.

"I said... wow!" Xiaolong's words were covered by a blanket that fell from the sky.

Iss glanced at Aini with a smile, and the elf immediately said that he needed to help Werther take care of the fire.

Mr. Noble gave the star-eyed Adrian an arrogant look, then turned and entered the tent.

Xiaolong followed immediately.

There was a flat glass with a light colored liquid on the table.

Ice didn't speak, but motioned him to drink it.

"What is this... uh!"

The unsuspecting fire dragon was so stimulated that he almost dropped the cup in his hand.

So sour~!He had never drank anything so sour!

"This is lemonade." Mr. Noble regretted seeing Adrian's snot hanging down his nose.

In fact, after Adrian fell asleep in the middle of the night, Iss wrapped him in the quilt, but it seemed that Aini stayed too late in the woods, and was frozen by himself again...

In the morning, Mr. Noble rummaged through the space ring for a long time, and finally found some green lemons that were used to deodorize the fish.

Fortunately, nothing in the space ring will go bad. When Adrian went out to ask Werther for something to eat, Is squeezed a glass of juice with a lemon.

Adrian finished the horrible drink with a wrinkled face, and coughed dryly.

Essie gently pulled him into his arms, pulling the blanket up.

"Yes, sour."

As soon as the words fell, lips covered with a hint of coolness.

After Mr. Noble's 'guidance' in the carriage yesterday, Xiaolong opened his mouth meekly.

There was no such gentle entanglement as yesterday, and the dexterous tip of the tongue pushed something.Adrian opened his eyes.

His eyes backed away with a smile.

Sweetness spreads in the mouth.

It's candy!

Xiaolong grabbed Yisi's collar excitedly.

After sucking the sugar-coated crystals on the outside, the taste of honey mixed with hazelnuts and walnuts made Adrian speechless with happiness.

The God of Light knew how long it had been since he had eaten candy.

The green soreness has completely disappeared.

No matter how dull Adrian was, he knew that Is was no longer angry.

The hand holding the collar did not let go.

Mr. Noble smiled lightly, and was about to bow his head...

"Ed...breakfast..." The lively voice drove Cupid away.

Adrian immediately cheered, turned around neatly and got out of the tent, happily abandoning Mr. Noble.

Is took a deep breath and sneered.

A chill ran down the elf's spine immediately.

In fact, if it wasn't for the serious failure of the nose, Aini might not have disturbed the situation at all, and Adrian ran out by himself.

Although the young necromancer has never made desserts that Xiaolong likes, he is unexpectedly good at other cooking.

The air is filled with the strong smell of smoked fish.

Werther was cracking the eggs, adding the milk and water and stirring them, and after mixing in the grated cheese, pouring them into the butter and sautéing them.

"Witt just found vanilla nearby, and said to make vanilla eggs." Aini and Adrian watched with great interest.

By this time Werther had added beets, mint, and sage to the pot.The cooking time is not long, and the eggs that come out of the pan have a faint vanilla color. Just by looking at Aini's expression, Xiaolong knows that it must be very fragrant.

Although Ernie had already eaten two sections of sausage, he still served himself a large plate of scrambled eggs.

The sausage was smoked by Werther in the interspatial bag, and was cheated by the greedy elves.

The tendon-removed pork is chopped into small pieces, with salt, cinnamon sticks, grated nutmeg and air-dried and smoked.The elves quickly became obsessed with this kind of sausage, and took away a lot of Werther's inventory.

After harnessing the horses that had been released to eat grass the night before and setting off, Adrian asked belatedly, "When did Iss buy such a good carriage?"

Not only the workmanship is exquisite and the shape is elegant, but even the horses that pull the carts are well-trained. There is no need for a coachman, and they can come back to pull the cart obediently during the day if they are released at night.

"I did a little business with the Lord Pagrama." Mr. Noble explained simply.

In fact, these are provided by Bailey, Mrs. Santo.

Knowing that Yisi was going to the Holy Imperial Capital, Bailey generously provided some travel supplies (the Santo Pagrama is very rich anyway), and assured him that "after dealing with the Santo, I will rush to assist" him.

Although Mr. Noble is troubled by when Bailey can get rid of this self-talking problem, he will not be so stupid as to refuse the cheap offer.
