On a certain day in the spring of April in the 856th year of the Dragon Calendar, the San Vano Empire and the Harpy Federation simultaneously detected the space earthquake that occurred on the border of the Emerald Dragon Realm. Although both sides concluded that the space earthquake was caused by a super-large-scale energy radiation, they took very different attitudes.

The Harpy Federation sent an envoy to meet with Long Ji with a heavy gift, and warmly congratulated Long Ling on finally being able to exterminate those "sneaky crumbs". On the other hand, the San Vano Empire, as if greatly stimulated, sent several detachments to approach the border of the star field with great vigour, posing as if they were going to fight to the death with the dragon leader.

Of course, the war didn't actually start.

With the dragon clan who can easily destroy the empire's huge expeditionary fleet as an opponent, the strength of a few sub-fleets is simply not enough to plug the gaps. The fleet's operations, which lacked both strategic planning and tactical objectives, came to an abrupt halt when they reached the Dragon Territory's borders. Under the watchful eyes of the dragon ship, it was scattered back to the empire, and it is said that several commanders of its theater command lost their heads due to the unauthorized use of the fleet.

But for the dragon leader, it was a situation that didn't need to be paid attention to at all.

Compared to the San Vano Empire, which knocked out teeth and swallowed blood, the Harpy Federation, which bet on the right treasure, reaped the things of dreams. The Emerald Dragons' decision to open up border trade was a cause for rejoicing from top to bottom of the Federation, and the appointment of the Hobbits to restore Daedalus in order to implement the opening measures was immediately put on the agenda.

More than a dozen federal construction groups have been sent to the Dragon Territory border, and in addition to the expansion of Daedalus, the construction of the mobile fortress required by the Wolf Cavalry and the supply depot that the Celestial Cavalry are fighting for are also under construction at the same time. The huge amount of money it needs is all provided by the Harpy Federation in the form of state credit - although it is formally so, such a bold thing as asking for a debt from Long Ji, let alone doing it, is enough to make people weak just thinking about it.

All in all, the construction activities on the Dragon's Frontier are in full swing. At this moment, the figure of the chief deacon quietly appeared on the edge of the star's death belt.

For the warriors of the Thunder Clan, the Void is not a forbidden area that cannot be stepped on. Thunder Roar stood on an asteroid, looking down at the vast space ahead of him that was constantly changing colors like the aurora.

Although that colorful space looks extremely beautiful, Thunder Roar will never want to get close to it.

The Abyss Ship was sunk here a few weeks ago, and the energy backlash from the explosion of its Erosion Furnace not only tore the hull apart, but also destroyed the spatial structure of the place, and those aurora phantom currents were a symbol of spatial instability. If you set foot in it rashly, it will be difficult to get out of it even if you roar.

Theoretically, the spatial rift will eventually be bridged, but it is uncertain how long it will take.

(How, exactly, kid?)

Looking at the wide spatial fracture zone in front of him, Lei Roar couldn't help but shudder.

Being able to tear space apart into such an energy source is enough to threaten the level of the "firstborn of all things". Although he had seen the video information at that time, it was still difficult for Lei Roar to imagine that Wen Dao, who was born in the Realm, could really deal with such an opponent by himself.

To be honest, when he handed over the task of sweeping the dragon collar to Wen Dao, he expected the difficulties involved, and the dragon palace was also ready to secretly support. However, unlike the previous time when he faced Luo Hou, this time, whether it was You Ze's Black Huang Cannon or Wen Dao's Matrix Shield Column, they were all far beyond the previous common sense. By the time he sensed something was wrong and rushed in, the battle was over, and Thunder Roar only had time to pick up the rice from the edge of the shattered space.

(Tsk, missed a good show...... ）

Lei Roar shook his head with emotion, and then couldn't help but look forward to it. Since Da Wendao stepped into the Baixia Palace, the jade dragon collar has undergone earth-shaking changes in just one year. This change is still ongoing, and it is worth looking forward to where it will evolve in the future.

"Huh, that's?"

Lei Roar's gaze fell coldly on an object floating out of the spatial fracture zone, and his eyes narrowed suddenly.

"Miya, Miya, you've gained a lot of weight?"

In the deacon's private room of Baixia Palace, Wen Dao was bathing Miya. Before leaving for Daedalus, he entrusted Miya to the care of Long Ji. Although Wen Dao was worried about whether it would be too presumptuous for the noble "eldest son of all things" to deign to be the shovel officer, but judging from the actual situation, Miya seemed to have a very happy time during this period.

It is absolutely appropriate to use "wide heart and fat body" to describe the fat cat in front of you.

"Tsk, you have eaten and drunk so well in Baixia Palace, have you forgotten your brother?" Wen Dao walked out of the bathroom with Miya in his arms and put it on the table to dry his hair. In the gust of hot wind, Miya let out a comfortable meow, and Wen Tao reached out to rub Miya's hair.

"Meow, you have no idea what I've been through......"

Whether it is encountering Shura, or facing off against Fenghua, and the monster-like abyss ship, all kinds of experiences, not to mention in Nanzhan Prefecture, are also enough to write an epic adventure in the Supo Sea. Wen Dao came up with the name of the memoir "I was a deacon in the Dragon Palace" in his mind, and fantasized about living on royalties to open his mouth and stretch his hands.

In any case, with the surrender of Daedalus as a symbol, he finally completed the task of quelling the chaos in the Dragon Leader. Next, Wen Dao plans to ask the chief deacon for two weeks off, go to Gulambell to take a vacation and visit Fili and her former friends in recuperation, and then return to the Amber Pavilion to drink with Fenghua, in addition to the invitation of Harbicong.

I always feel like I'm busy even on vacation, and I obviously want to live a more leisurely life.

Just when Wen Dao wondered if he was going in the wrong direction, the door of the private room opened coldly.

"Stupid! haven't you gotten up yet...... Ahh

Ani, the little maid who broke in without knocking, screamed in surprise when she saw the man and the cat in **, and covered her eyes in the next instant.

"Perverted!What are you trying to do to Miya naked!?"

"What are you sister, I just finished bathing it, okay!" Wen Dao hurriedly put on his clothes. "You're going to die if you knock on the door?

"Your Highness called you. Ani rolled her eyes and said unpleasantly. "Go for tea".

Following Ani, Wen Dao walked towards the purple grass hall where tea was drinking, while the freshly freshly groomed Miya walked proudly in front of the two. I don't know if it's because of the familiarity with Long Ji, but now Miya has completely regarded Baixia Palace as her own territory, and Wen Tao even suspects that it is more familiar with the route than herself.

On the way to the purple grass hall, Wendao received a lot of attention. Although he was still quite a newcomer in the Baixia Palace in terms of seniority, his deeds seemed to have spread in the Dragon Palace. Not only the Dragon Palace, but also the Dragon Leader, who has been silent for a long time, will usher in unprecedented changes because of him, and it is impossible to say that he will not receive attention.

In fact, Wen Dao found that even Ani peeked at him from time to time.

To avoid trouble, Wen Dao pretended not to see it.

The Comfrey Hall is a cozy space planted with large fields of purple grass and alfalfa trees, where light particles from the emerald star are filtered by reflectors and cast a warm halo in the space. In a corner of the purple meadow, in a small space held up casually with a parasol, Long Ji Yansui smiled softly at him. Sitting opposite Long Ji was the head waiter, Zi Feng, who seemed to be playing the role of a tea maker.

"Yo, sit down and have tea. ”

Greeting Wen Dao like this, Zi Feng handed over a cup of fragrant tea with rising smoke.

"Thanks, thanks. ”

Wen Dao took it with some flattery. However, compared to the tea served by the Lotus Girl, the warm attention cast by Long Ji on the opposite side made him even more calm. It feels as if facing a majestic existence like a starry field in the field, but the closeness from the heart is like a cat's claw constantly scratching the heartstrings.

I didn't know how to be a good Wendao, so I had to look down at the tea cup in my hand.

Instead, Miya trotted a few steps and unceremoniously jumped onto Long Ji's lap. While being caressed, he snuggled up to the noble chest of the "eldest son of all things", and turned back to cast a contemptuous gaze at his cohabitant.

Dead cat, remember it for me.

Wen Dao raised his middle finger in his heart.

"Well, don't let the tea cool, this is a treasure that I stole while Thunder Roar wasn't there?"

Zi Feng greeted Wen Dao, poured himself a cup of tea, and put it to his lips in a small sip. Judging from the corners of his lips that couldn't help but rise, the head of the chamberlain seemed to be in a pretty good mood at the moment.

"The construction of Daedalus is progressing more smoothly than expected, and it is said that in two months it will be able to serve the dragon leaders as a trading hub. The Harpy Federation has also sent a merchant group to discuss the trade contract, and it seems that the tax is quite expected. ”

Zi Feng dipped his fingers in the tea and drew a series of characters in the air to symbolize the benefits.

"From Grumbel to Deedalus, from the Wolf Cavalry to the Abyss Ship, not only the chaos in the Dragon Territory has been pacified, but even the financial crisis of the Dragon Palace has been solved, which is really beautiful! ”

"It's over, it's over. Wen Dao was so frightened that he took a half step back and looked at Long Ji with a weak heart.

Long Ji stroked the Miya in her arms with a soft expression. Although His Royal Highness rarely shows emotional changes, at this moment, I don't know if it is an illusion, Wen Dao feels that she seems to be quite happy.

For the next quarter of an hour, Wen Dao drank tea while chatting with Long Ji and the head of the chamberlain. Of course, most of the topic focused on the many details of Wen Dao's sweep of the dragon collar, and those anecdotes about the realm not only surprised Zi Feng to hear, but even successfully amused Yan Sui several times.

Such a warm and flowing time was interrupted by a sudden sound of communication.

"Your Highness, I have a bit of a situation here. ”

The face of the chief deacon pops up in the window. Noticing Zi Feng and Wen Dao next to him, Lei Roar was a little surprised, but he still reported in detail the unexpected discovery at the edge of the Star Death Belt.

"This thing floated out of the spatial fault zone. ”

Presented in the window is a coffin-like object made of rough rock, the size of which is about the size of a person, and the fierce edges and corners of the surface are quite similar to the rugged style of the Shura people. Reminiscent of this sarcophagus from the ruins of the explosion of the Abyssal Ship, it seems that someone is sleeping in it.

Although the relationship between the dragon clan and the Shura clan has always been not harmonious, they didn't say anything about the bear child who was likely to be from the Shura royal family, and just threw it into the sea of Supo. Therefore, Thunder Roar asked Long Ji what to do.

"What should I do......

Even Long Ji stroked Mi Ya and fell into confusion.

Looking at the sarcophagus on the window, Wen Dao sighed on the one hand that the Shura clan was worthy of being the astral overlord on a par with the dragon clan, and that they could still survive the explosion that was swept into the void and shattered, but on the other hand, he also felt that it was quite tricky. The Jade Dragon Leader has finally calmed down, and if this matter is not handled well, I am afraid it will bring new troubles.

Anyway, this level of things shouldn't be his turn to worry about-

Of course, when Wen Dao was relieved when he thought about it like this, he couldn't help but glance at the meaningful gaze cast by the waiter over there, and his heart immediately chuckled. Before he could speak, his shoulder was patted by the Lotte Girl.

"How about leaving this matter to the younger brother to deal with?" Zi Feng recommended with a smile.

"Wait, wait!" Wen Dao screamed. "That's Shura, Shura!I can't handle it!?"

"Well, boys need to be more confident in themselves!"

"Damn, this has nothing to do with confidence, right!?If you have self-confidence, can a snail outrun a buffalo?" Wen Dao said angrily.

"Let Ani be your assistant. Long Ji, who was silent next to her, suddenly spoke.

"Huh, huh?" The little maid who was originally posing to watch a good show instantly stiffened when she heard this.

"Oh, that's great. Anie is a rookie of the Thunder Clan, and although she is still practicing, it may be more appropriate for you to learn from each other. Although Long Ji opened his mouth to mean that the matter was basically finalized, the chief waiter still snickered and further confirmed the matter.

Wen Dao, who was speechless when he heard this, and the little maid over there, who was also dumbfounded, looked at each other, and then snorted and turned their heads away.

"I don't really like to show my head. The affairs of Shura, as well as the affairs of the dragon collar, are all taken care of by you. Yan Sui looked at the black-haired young man in front of him, and it was a soft voice that said lines that made the latter's heart pound. "Whatever it looks like, I think I'll love it. ”

"Your Highness, Your Highness, what do you say?"

"Wow, whoa, whoa!"

Ryuhime's words provoked a violent reaction between the chief waiter and the little maid, with the former letting out an inexplicable exclamation while the latter jumped up directly. However, the person who was announced like this looked at Long Ji blankly as if he hadn't grasped the point.

As if feeling shy, Yansui stood up with Miya in his arms and said that he was going to walk around.

Ani glared at Wen Dao fiercely, and then quickly followed behind Long Ji.

Wen Dao, who still couldn't figure out what was going on, had to look at the chief of the chamberlain for help. Zi Feng, who was so expected, did not immediately respond to Wen Dao's question. The purple jade-like eyes followed Long Ji's walking figure, and it took a long time before he said with emotion.

"You know, while many people fear dragons as 'firstborn sons of all,' they are more like 'trees' in my opinion. ”

"Tree?" Wen Tao wondered.

"The crown of the tree will inhabit birds, the trunk of the tree will have squirrels nesting, the roots of the tree will be a paradise for insects, and even the shade of the tree will become a shelter for birds and beasts......" Gazing at Wendao, Zi Feng slowly depicted it as if it were unfolding a picture scroll. "Even if the 'tree' itself does not do anything special, its existence itself is the dependence of all beings. Our Emerald Dragon Collar, isn't that what it is?"

"Yes, yes. Wen Dao nodded as if he didn't understand.

"Don't you understand? Zi Feng showed an unbearable expression, and reached out to knock on the head of a dumb melon. "You have been chosen by His Highness as the 'Tree Protector'! This is a lifetime appointment, come on!"
