The voice of the man in black was not disguised, there were only a few people in the tavern.

Carey and Ari's faces changed instantly, only Fideon was a little confused, not understanding why the man in black suddenly said such a sentence.

The two looked at each other, then went to Ned's table, and told Fidien to close the tavern door so that no one could enter.

Seeing the solemn expressions of the two of them, as if they were facing a great enemy, Fidien nodded hurriedly, which made both of them show this expression, and he also realized that the origin of the man in black was probably not simple.

"Ned-sama, how did you get to be like this......"

Carey smiled bitterly, it turns out that dragons can really transform into human bodies?

"You mean, I should have come here in my original form, right?" Ned gave Carey a nonchalant look and added, "It's good, I just don't like this form either. ”

"No! no!" Carey waved his hand, "No, I mean you're very handsome, very nice, and have an unexpected and reasonable sense of surprise." ”

Ned snorted lightly, didn't answer, and took a sip of himself: "This wine, it's a little lighter......"

"Ahh......h

When he first saw the power of the black dragon, Carey dreamed of having a chance to see its source text up close and how it worked, but when it came to the moment, he had completely dispelled this idea.

Alive...... Isn't it fragrant?

"Did you catch up with Hockved, Lord Ned?" said Ari.

Ned nodded slightly, looked at Ari, had a hint of emotion, and said a little dazedly, "If Almis is still alive, he should be about the same age as you." ”

"I'm sorry that happened......" Ari said apologetically at the memory in Ned's eyes.

Ned sat Ari down and poured himself a glass of wine, "I caught up with him and gave him a surprise attack, but he seemed to have anticipated this and used some tricks to trap me. I watched with my own eyes that Almis was far away from me, that I was a useless father who had betrayed Belina's trust in me. ”

Ari was silent for a moment, not knowing what to answer, and found a wine glass and drank it with Ned.

"The best thing that humans create is wine......," Ned sighed, and saw Carey return with two bottles of wine, regaining his indifferent expression.

In the basement, Carey had already informed Fidien of the origin of the man in black, and Fidien listened to everything that had happened in the mines on the South Hillside as if he were listening to a story.

What a huge castle in the cave that has its own space, a black giant more than four meters high, and a legendary creature more than ten meters long - the black dragon.

And what made him extremely suspicious was that the man currently sitting in the tavern was made of the legendary black dragon.

Fideon thought it must be a ridiculous story made up by Carey to tease him, but from Carey's serious expression, he thought that maybe it was a true story?

For a bard, such a story is really excellent material, real and absurd, and he keenly smells a bit of pathos in Carey's description.

How did its daughter die, why did there be a castle in the mountains, and why did Eri, an elven of the Elves, meet the Black Dragons and let them live?

One question after another arose in Fidin's mind, but he knew that it might not be appropriate for him to ask these sensitive questions at the moment, and he suppressed the questions that were already in his mind.

"Lord Ned, you're here to ...... Everlight," Carey asked tentatively.

Ned frowned first, pointed at Ari and said, "I've slept for too long, I'm here to find her, and I'll eat something by the way......"

"Uh......" Carey hesitated for a moment, "Didn't you come to settle accounts with us?"

"Settle accounts......" Ned hesitated for a moment: "Maybe it can also be a side purpose, but it's just to find the person who stole my daughter's body, I've been asleep for too long, I need to find a place to understand the current era first." ”

After listening to Ned's explanation, Carey breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately this black dragon was not carried away by hatred, and could still communicate.

Carey rubbed his hands nervously, suddenly remembering the defector he had gone to chase the Star Spirit before, so he asked, "Did you catch up with Hockweed?"

Ned didn't speak, and Ari picked up the topic and said, "I caught up, but he escaped again." ”

After hearing Eri's words, Carey asked suspiciously, "What about using that tracking ability again?"

"Hmph, that's the ability to peek into fate, even I can't use it continuously, at least two more months. Ned snorted and added, "However, I think he's badly injured, and my dragon flame will always be attached to him, stopping him from devouring my daughter's body, and in two months the guy will be dead." ”

"Two months ......" Carey frowned and looked at Ari with a hint of inquiry.

Ari also seemed to understand Carey's question, and casually asked, "Uncle Ned, are you planning to stay here for two months?"

"Why? I've become like this, can't I?" Ned asked rhetorically.

"Ah, of course, but you know, the lord is the smartest man in our city, and I think you can do more with it if you talk to him. Carey squeezed out a smile and continued, "You've seen him too, he was also present in the underground castle, and I think he must have welcomed you. ”

Ned thought for a few seconds, and finally looked at Carey, "Your suggestion is good, I'll go to him later." ”

"I can take you to ......"

......

In order to prevent unnecessary trouble, Carey takes Ari with him and leads Ned to the most striking castle in Everlight.

After the soldier tells Roy, Carey meets Roy again in the study.

"I thought you'd at least give me some time to take a shower......" Roy grumbled.

Carey shrugged: "After all, emergencies don't care if we're busy or not......"

After saying that, he moved out of the way, allowing Roy to see Ned in black behind him.

"Is this what you call an emergency?" is he ......" Roy frowned, picked up the cold water on the table and drank it.

"Black Dragonned ......" Carey directly explained his identity without any foreshadowing.

Roy squirted out a mouthful of water, and coughed out a fierce cough: "Ahem, what?"

"Black Dragonned of the Wasteland......" Carey nodded affirmatively when he saw Roy's suspicious eyes.

Roy hurriedly got up, and then took a serious look at the middle-aged man in black.

"It was a surprise, I thought our meeting again would be a little more formal. Roy stretched out his right hand and said politely.

"You are the lord of the human race, and you don't need to be so polite to me. Ned was still indifferent, looked at Roy's right hand for a few seconds, and also stretched out his right hand to shake Roy's hand.

Roy could clearly feel the cold and hard palm of the other's hand, as if it was holding it with a rock.

"I'm here for a simple purpose, a place where I can live here for the time being, and information about the current times, and I can also promise you some conditions, which should be fair. ”

Ned's words once again made everyone present understand his frankness, and Ari stepped forward at the right time and said, "Honorable lord, he should be regarded as my uncle, can you arrange for him to live in the city first, I promise that he will not attack the inhabitants of the city." ”
