The Dragon Raising Diary of the Elf King

The author has something to say: Why did the style of painting change so quickly?That must be because the author returned from sunny Yunnan to misty Jiangnan...

Dark clouds filled the sky within sight.The clouds are not thick, but very low.Under the clouds, peaks and ridges piled up, filled with mist, dark and depressing.

"This is Jinan." On a mountain peak on the northern edge of Jinan, a humanoid dragon looked down at the land and sighed.Turning to look at Hua Chengmanxi beside him: "Where do we start?"

"I'm not sure whether I should continue." Hua Chengmanxi said: "The source of my uncertainty is because of you, Gefiril. For many days, you have been preoccupied and depressed, and you have always refused to be honest with me."

Long Qing's eyes flickered, and he talked about it from left to right: "Does my personal mood have anything to do with this trip to the extreme south?"

"Emotional fluctuations lead to increased mental wear and tear, as well as your inability to do what you want in the training sessions in the past ten days. Your current condition, both physical and mental, is very bad," Hua Chengmanxi looked directly at her and said: " Extreme South is full of the breath of the God of Darkness, they will pollute and erode people's will. I can't let you in such a poor state be in danger. I will go to the hinterland of Extreme South alone, and your mission is over, return immediately Scooter to go."

"I'm not as weak as you imagined." The expelled Long Qing was angry, she stubbornly looked at Hua Chengmanxi: "Besides, I have no obligation to obey your orders, do I?"

Hua Chengmanxi shook his head helplessly: "I'll ask you one last time, do you have anything to say to me?"

"Can't I be a dragon with privacy?" Long shrugged slightly.

"Of course." Hua Chengmanxi nodded: "Although I miss that little green dragon who is full of whimsy and vitality, has self-knowledge and maintains a tacit understanding with me."

Just as Long Qing was about to speak, she was suddenly struck by an emotional throbbing. The cold sunlight, the falling pages of the book, the rising dust, and the broken images flashed instantly, making her vision blurry.She pressed her temples, and said to Hua Chengmanxi with some irritability: "I will convey your thoughts to her, so, where shall we go now?"

"The faint dark aura in this edge area can corrode you, and you still want to go into the extreme south?!" Hua Chengmanxi reached out and brushed her eyebrows, and Long Qing suddenly felt his eyes clear.She thought for a while, and tightly grasped Hua Chengmanxi's sleeve: "I apologize for my attitude just now. But Her Majesty the Queen once told me that the growth rate in practice will be several times that in theoretical practice, I have to grow, please take me with you and tell me what I should do."

"But you still don't want to say it?" Hua Chengmanxi asked.

Long Qing remained silent.

Hua Chengmanxi sighed: "You are so uncute now." He pulled out his sword, cut off a lock of his long hair, took Long Qing's hand, and tied it to her wrist: "After entering the extreme south, , you must concentrate your spiritual strength, be firm in your mind, and fight against the dark aura. If you defeat them, you will get a great improvement. But if you fail, then you will collapse, fall into pessimism and despair, and even go crazy—I won’t Let that happen. This lock of hair protects you from losing yourself completely."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Long Qing involuntarily raised her hand and kissed the sunny hair.

Hua Chengmanxi turned around and said: "Let's go then. I hope your problem can be resolved during our trip. The first stop of our trip," he pointed to Jiangshan: "The gathering place of the fallen, the edge Awl Cave of the City."

On the cliff standing thousands of feet high, in the middle of the air where there is no path to reach, a tightly closed iron gate with a pointed top suddenly appeared.The evil breath condensed into a black mist that was visible to the naked eye, spreading from the iron gate to the surroundings.

"People of various races in the Green Land, when they are tempted by the Dark God and degenerate into servants of the Dark God, they will mutate into half-orcs. But this takes a period of evolution. During this period, they still survive With different degrees of humanity, they are called marginal people, they gather in this marginal city, Awl Cave." Hua Chengman Xi looked up at the mid-air iron gate and explained to Long Qing.

"Shall we fly up? But there seems to be nowhere to stand."

Long asked lightly.

Hua Chengmanxi shook his head.He tightened the cloak and hat to cover his handsome face, and pulled the long and light hat. After confirming that there was no problem with the costume, he took out a whistle and blew it lightly.Long Qing looked at him suspiciously, because the whistle didn't make any sound.

But apparently the whistle has a role to play.The iron door was opened, and an ugly, lizard-like creature sprang out from behind it swiftly and swiftly.But it was much bigger than a lizard, and it was about the size of a cow.

The big lizard clung to the rock face, and swam down like a swim, before landing in front of the dragon and elf.The long, slimy letter was spat out, and it swam past the dragon and elf, almost sticking to his clothes.Long Qing looked at Hua Cheng Manxi—although he couldn't see his face clearly, he could tell from the outline of his chin that his expression didn't change: who said he has a cleanliness fetish!

Hua Chengmanxi took out a piece of gold, shook it in front of the big lizard, and threw it into the air. The big lizard jumped up and caught the gold.Hua Chengmanxi took the opportunity to jump on the lizard's back, and stretched out a hand to Long Qing to pull him up.The big lizard carried a dragon and an elf, climbed the rock and wall without any difficulty, and returned to the iron gate halfway up the mountain.

Behind the iron gate is a huge cave.There is a slight skylight on the top of the distant cave, allowing Long Qing to see the situation inside the cave clearly: the jagged stalactites are densely covered with large lizards.Long Qing felt goosebumps all over his body.Hua Chengmanxi's hand holding her tightened suddenly, she slammed into a broad chest, and the cloak immediately blocked her sight.The waist was embraced, the whole person was lifted up, and he floated up lightly.When he stepped on the ground again, Hua Chengmanxi's voice sounded: "Okay, there are no more lizards here."

"Why would I be afraid of those little lizards!" Long Qing unhappily pushed aside Hua Chengmanxi's cloak in front of him—ah, it's stuck on his face... ah, where is the opening of the cloak...

They were now in a narrow passage above the cave wall.The passage spirals up along the cave wall, connecting countless deep caves in series.The huge cave is silent, but there are distant, noisy, strange and indistinct sounds in the cave - tragic cries, arrogant laughter, angry quarrels, and howls of fear...every day. Each hole sounds different.These voices made Long Qing uncomfortable.Soon, her head began to ache, and bad emotions rose and fell like waves: helplessness, powerlessness, dizziness, unable to face...

Go away, nasty dark breath.She gritted her teeth and said silently.

"Gafei Lier, this way." Hua Chengmanxi called her, and he had already walked into a hole within a hole.Long Qing carefully avoided the ghost-like person with the same cloak covering his face coming from the opposite side, and followed.

A cluster of icy phosphorous fires ignited every few steps in the cave, illuminating the passers-by.A gust of wind blew by, and a ball of fire suddenly rushed towards Long Qing's face by the wind.Hua Chengmanxi had already walked a few steps, Long Qing used what he had learned these days, trying to avoid the fire, but it was like a shadow, extremely flexible, Long Qing watched it cover his face like a mask—— In an instant, Long Qing felt like the coldest water flowing into his mind.

"Gafei Lier." Hua Chengmanxi stretched out his hand to pull her up from the ground: "Phosphorus fire can't hurt you. Control your fear and overcome it."

Caves, caves, caves, and caves are endless.Long Qing looked at Hua Chengmanxi, who was familiar with the road ahead, and wondered why the elf king, who loves light so much, was so familiar with this ghostly place.In his long life, how many miraculous things happened that she didn't know.

Suddenly Hua Chengmanxi stopped walking.Long Qing almost bumped into him without paying attention.Another pointed iron gate appeared in front of him.

Hua Chengmanxi reached out and drew a complicated symbol on the iron gate.Soon, the door was opened.A bright young man jumped out and invited them in.Long Qing never expected to see such a lively young man in such a gloomy environment.After entering the door, the aura behind the door also changed, the evil aura became thinner, and the normal human buildings and human shop assistants were busy coming and going—Long Qing opened his eyes in disbelief: In this evil cave In the depths of the world, there is actually a thriving human firm!

Long Qing, who was in a mess in the wind, saw the sign of the firm: a sailboat sailing on the Cross River——"Or the counter-shuizhou branch of the tall ship king Mojidu's family?"

"Marginal people need some products and services from normal society. More importantly, some products with dark attributes are very popular among high-ranking nobles in human society." Hua Chengmanxi said softly.

"what?"

"You wouldn't want to know."

"And what are you here to buy? You also like things that I wouldn't want to know about?"

"In addition to trade in goods, in Greenland, the Ship King family also monopolizes a business, intelligence trading."

They were guided into a reception room, and a tall, long-legged man greeted them in a personable manner: "Welcome to the boat against the water, distinguished S-level customer. Molin is here to serve you."

"Molin, the seventh in line heir of the Ship King family, served as a receptionist in this remote shop. It's really a surprisingly high-quality service." Hua Chengmanxi said.

"Naishuizhou will always provide customers with the highest quality and most comprehensive products and services." Morin nodded.

"I need to buy a piece of information." Hua Chengmanxi said, "The reason why you are here."

"Good sir." Molin didn't seem to have any doubts or surprises due to the weird demand.He left for a while and took out a beautiful box: "This is the bill for this service. If there is no problem, please sign and confirm, and the fee will be deducted directly from your account."

Hua Chengmanxi opened the box and took out a roll of documents.Long Qing looked over curiously - and then she was shocked.She rubbed her eyes and carefully counted the zeros.

However, Hua Chengmanxi took a pen and signed without hesitation. "Wait!" Long Qing pressed his hand tightly—she was bleeding from the pain in her heart: "Are you kidding me, an inexplicable message, with so many gold coins, what a fool! Your majesty, you can't squander the blood and sweat of a taxpayer like this." ah!"

"No, this amount of money, the tariffs that go against the tide, or the wine, ordnance, or artwork they purchase, just add two points to any cost, and let them spit it out in minutes." Hua Chengmanxi's mouth curled up. : "Actually, I have wanted to do this for a long time. The old fox of Mojidu will cry poorly and lose to him every time. Now I have found a reasonable excuse."

"Why do you think Moji is really poor after hearing your words...Nevermind, speaking of which, we, no, are you elves who also produce ordnance?"

"Ordnance income supports one-third of our family's total income. The high-quality ordnance produced by our family is not only famous in Greenland, but also sold overseas."

"Aren't elves a peace-loving race?"

"Yeah, and we also love developing and making better weapons."
