Chapter 158: The road is long and obstructive
A few of them woke up the dragon and asked him why, but it turned out that Achill had used the excuse to talk to the dragon to attract his attention, and the rest of the elves took advantage of his unpreparedness to put him to sleep. Flying in the direction of Azure City, there were indeed several other dragons along the way, but further ahead was a sturdy middle-aged dragon, he had not fallen into a deep sleep, and he had never seen a group of people pass by here.
According to Achill's speed, they should not have walked out of the wilderness at this time, and Lin Qian could only hope that these dragons could find their traces as soon as possible. The group hurriedly returned to Mercenary Town, and Lin Qian gathered all the people he had sent out earlier.
"Cooperate with the dragon to search the wilderness, especially in the southeast, and send more men to surround it, each with a messenger device, and send a signal as soon as the elves are found. β
Boris was in charge of searching for elves, leaving the guild affairs to Sophia and Elena for the time being, while Lin Qian took a team of magicians to the wilderness to find Ysera in person. Because of the dragon before, he sensed that the attitude of the dragon clan did not seem to be completely friendly, and wanted to ask the dragon for clarification.
Not being able to fly was very troublesome, so Lin Qian had to ask for help from a summoning magician and help him summon a mount, and then he rushed towards the wilderness. The dragons encountered along the way were either cold or ignored Lin Qian, and even a few dragons had a trace of hostility towards Lin Qian, but due to Ysera's orders and the group of magicians around Lin Qian, they did not break out, and when they saw Lin Qian going straight to their dragon princess, they also followed silently behind.
Ysera was chatting with the other dragon sisters at this time, after all, dragons still rely more on females for breeding, so the "dangerous" job of capturing elves will not be handed over to them.
"Princess, your little human lover is here!" a sharp-eyed dragon clan saw Lin Qian from a distance and turned his head and laughed.
"Go, all of you, go down for me!" Isera naturally had her majesty as a princess among the sisters, and at the sound of an order, these female dragons could only obediently retreat and fly not far away to watch.
Easily turning into a human form, Isera dusted off her clothes, cut her hair, and almost dressed up in the mirror, when she saw Lin Qian riding an unknown beast over, a smile appeared on her face.
The group of magicians behind Lin Qian didn't follow up with him, watching Lin Qian laugh with a giant dragon in human form from a distance, and the "admiration" for Lin Qian in his heart was a little more.
"Long'er, thank you for your hard work. Lin Qian saw Isera's dirty clothes at first glance, and knew that she was indispensable in the wild these days.
"You're pretty sweet," Isera smiled even more, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"It's okay, I just wanted to come and see you. Lin Qian stepped forward and stretched out his hands on her shoulders, looking like he wanted to "repeat his old skills".
"Heyβit's not going to work here, there's a bunch of people watching. Ysera dodged lightly, remembering the first time she was kissed by him, and she couldn't help but be a little afraid that he would mess around.
Lin Qian didn't plan to do that, just to liven up the atmosphere, Zhengse said: "Long'er, I really have something I want to ask you about this time, you have to tell me honestly." β
"What's the matter?" Isera saw that he was serious, and put away her joking mentality.
"Is the matter between the two of us really acceptable to your dragon clan, or is there any precedent?"
Ysera was stunned for a moment, staring at the human in front of her, convinced that he was asking seriously, and then replied coldly, "No." β
"What's wrong?" Lin Qian found out that something was wrong with the other party, shouldn't he ask that?
"Do you know what a human being is in the eyes of our dragons?" Isera sneered, "but an inferior, lowly creature, a weak beast from a human perspective. Every race has dignity, and if you human woman gave up her dignity to marry a beast, how much pressure would she have? If the beast in turn still doubted the relationship, would you think that woman would be cold?"
Lin Qian smiled, shook his head again, and said, "I know all this, Long'er, you misunderstood. I've never doubted our affection, and I'm asking you just to confirm how many other rivals I have in the Dragons, because I already ran into one yesterday. β
Ysera's face warmed up a little and asked, "Who did you meet?"
"Adex. β
Ysera's face stiffened, and she whispered, "He is the spouse my father appointed to me, and he has pestered me three times and twice, but I have beaten him away. β
"That guy had a bit of a conflict with me this time in order to grab the battle merits, and he didn't seem to be able to accept it after learning about the two of us, and was beaten by the people around me. Lin Qian watched Isera's reaction with interest.
Ysera glared at Lin Qian, sighed and said, "Let's fight, there are many clansmen who want to pursue me like him, you have to be on guard in the future." β
"It seems that my dragon is also quite attractive among the dragons. Lin Qian said with some pride.
"You'd better worry about yourself. - Well, they're all here. Ysera reminded as she pointed to a group of golden dragons not far away.
The gender division of the dragon clan is very easy, gold is male, silver is female, the older the color, the darker the color, looking at this group of male dragons is probably equivalent to the appearance of human beings in their teens and twenties, they should all migrate to the forest.
"Why don't you go and search for the elves and disobey my orders?" Isera took a step forward inadvertently, silently protecting Lin Qian behind her.
"I didn't dare, but I learned that the princess had chosen a spouse and wanted to come and see what was going on. The elder dragon clan at the head replied with a sense of proportion.
"His name is Derrick, he is over fifteen thousand years old, he is similar to me in strength, I have rejected him two or three times, and my father does not like him very much. Ysera whispered to Lin Qian.
"Well, I look at my body and I'm quite strong, I don't know how to transform into a human form. Lin Qian said pointedly.
Ysera smiled, the dragon's huge size did put a lot of pressure on humans, and the little lover didn't seem to like it.
"There are a lot of human guests here, and you speak in human form. β
The dragons glanced at each other, and they all turned into human youths, gathering together like an idol boy band.
Ysera retreated to Lin Qian's side and said loudly, "Let me introduce you, this is my spouse, Lin Qian's son, he is the president of the Human Magic Guild and the head of this attack on the Everfree Forest. β
The young men of the dragon clan gritted their teeth and glared at Lin Qian angrily, and Dai Rik took a step forward and said, "Is the princess too casual in choosing a mate this time? How can she choose a human as a mate? This will not contribute to the breeding of our race!"
"What proof do you have that humans and dragons can't breed?" said Ysera, unyielding.
"Even if they can give birth, they are only half-human, half-dragon deformed creatures, and our people do not recognize such people. "Dyrick is-for-tat and is bound to bargain on this point.
He was actually right, there were many "singles" in the dragon clan who had a disgraceful history with foreign beasts, and had also given birth to offspring of half-dragons and half-beasts. These descendants contain half of the blood of the dragons, but they are not recognized by the dragons and are called the wurms. In the Everfree Forest and the Eastern Continent, there have been wurms, although their abilities and intelligence are as powerful as the dragons, but they dare not show their heads because of the "identity" problem, and most of the time they hide in all corners of the world.
Ysera couldn't help but be angry when she heard him call him a "deformed creature": "It's understandable that the alien race is matched, and my father has long planned to recruit the Yalong Hui clan, but he is afraid that they will be discriminated against by other clansmen, so he will give up." I'm going to set this precedent here today, and I'm going to have offspring with a human being, and how can you stop me?"
Seeing that it seemed impossible to start from here, Darek had another plan: "The princess knows that the human lifespan is only a hundred years, and in the eyes of my dragon clan, it is only between the white horses. It is already extremely difficult for the dragon to conceive, and it only happens once in thousands of years, so how can the princess guarantee that she will give birth to offspring for the dragon in these hundred years?"
This dragon clan has accepted this point of view since childhood, and the biggest task of each clan member is to continue the descendants of the dragon clan to strengthen the clan, so he is not shy about talking about this kind of thing, but Lin Qian felt very uncomfortable when he heard it. From what he said, it seemed that Ysera, as a princess, was just a child-giving machine.
"Hey, what are you talking about, stupid dragon? As your princess, is it true that Long'er has been giving birth to dragon sons and dragon girls all her life? Also, what if I die and remarry Long'er? Isn't it still possible to give your dragon clan offspring?" Lin Qian thought that his words were impassioned and would definitely cause the desired effect, but the truth was completely the opposite.
"Lin Lang, don't talk nonsense. Ysera whispered in disgust.
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect the princess to find such a stupid boy as a spouse, it's really a shame for the dragon family. Darek and a group of dragon youths behind him burst into laughter.
"What's wrong? Did I say the wrong thing?" Lin Qian asked Isera in a low voice.
"Lin Qian, who do you think you dare to go against the dogma of our clan? Every clan member should take it as their own responsibility to strengthen the clan, and the princess is no exception, not to mention that the men and women of our clan are not allowed to remarry each other regardless of birth, old age, sickness or death, didn't the princess tell you this?" a young man with a gloomy face shouted.
"Shut up!" said Ysera coldly, "Barrett, this princess's spouse is not yet your turn to teach you a lesson!"
The dragon youth known as Barriet closed his mouth suddenly, still looking at Lin Qian with a look of disdain. The rest of the young people also stopped teasing for a while when they saw that Isser was angry, but they looked like they were winning today's matter.
"Long'er, didn't you say that you would wait until I die before you marry, how can you dragon clan have such rules?" Lin Qian asked puzzled.
Ysera glanced at Lin Qian deeply, turned to the young people below and said, "Don't forget, my clan also has a secret plan that can keep me and Lin Lang for the rest of my lifeββ"
"-Don't!" A shout came from a distance, and then a huge golden dragon pressed down from the sky, it was the dragon lord who had never been out of the Dragon Valley.
