Chapter 362: ♂ A Secret
"It's the first time you've seen me like this, there's no way~ I rarely go to the human world, and most of them stay at home to sleep and hunt."
The beautiful girl in front of her is a real dragon, even so, but Sakura and the others feel that she is full of majesty.
"Excuse me...... Is your tail real? Boya asked.
"It's true, you can still eat it! Come on, come on, I'll make you a roasted tail dish~"
Nanali snapped her fingers, and suddenly a grill and a pile of wood appeared next to her, along with a cutting board and kitchen knives.
Nanali picked up the kitchen knife and slashed at the tail without hesitation, there was no blood, and there was no trace of pain on her face, just smiled as she cut off the tail.
The three people who watched the play were all creepy.
Nanali then inserted her tail into the iron rod, then lit a firewood with her magic, placed the iron rod on the grill, and let the flames bake the tail. Don't forget to sprinkle some seasonings in the middle of the roast.
Soon, the grilled tail dish was ready, and although it looked like unpasteurized fatty meat, it was still edible in terms of taste.
"Come~Please enjoy~" Nanali was very hospitable.
"Uh...... I still don't eat it, and I've been losing weight lately......"
"The same ......"
"I didn't expect there to be food in this world that I couldn't eat......"
The three of them all had bitter faces, as if they didn't want to enjoy this "delicacy", and Nanali had no choice but to gobble up her tail.
What's even more amazing is that after eating the tail, Nanali grows another tail, just like a gecko!
Nanali pointed to her head and smiled, "As long as your head doesn't hurt, you can recover no matter what kind of injury you suffer, hehe~"
"Are you a Namek......? ×3”
"It's easy to eat your own tail, but after eating, it's easy to get hungry if you repeat the same steps, so I often go somewhere else to catch prey." Nanali pointed to the forest on the left, "Do you want me to catch some critters for you?" For example, poisonous snakes, scorpions, etc. ”
"Is that a critter?! ×3”
"I catch them every day to eat, so I practice a body that is invulnerable to a hundred poisons~"
"It's really hard for Brother Scorpion and Brother Viper......×3"
After a moment of silence, Sakura decided to ask Nanali something.
"Why did you save us?"
"That said, if it weren't for other purposes, I guess you wouldn't have done anything that didn't benefit you."
"Hmm...... You're right......" Nanali scratched her head with a finger, "However, I'm not here to catch you to eat, in fact, I will only help you if you dare to confront the old ladies of the witch country, but if you want to go back, I will not allow it, after all, if you enter that country, you will never be able to get out." ”
"Why?"
"Because, I've heard a secret ......"
—————————— Dividing Line——————————
"Secret?"
It's the first time Gene has heard of such a secret in the land of witches.
"Well, probably the dragon species thinks so too, people who know this secret usually don't have the idea of entering the witch's country anymore, alas...... It's no wonder, it's a curse after all. ”
There was a look of sorrow in Medea's eyes, which was the spirit of an upright monarch who was worried about the country and the people.
"What kind of curse is that?"
"You don't have to know."
Seeing that Medea was reluctant to elaborate, Jean had no choice but to dispel this idea.
"Then let's change the subject, since Sophia is your daughter, why doesn't she stay in the palace and run outside to be a thief?"
“……”
"If you don't say it, I won't force it, just be as happy as you like."
Gene didn't want to know about Medea's family affairs, he just thought it was strange that a mother would indulge her children to go outside and do some petty theft? Inexistent. If this were to be replaced by a Chinese parent, it would be like a fish lying on the beach, and if it didn't die, it would be crippled.
"It's all my fault......"
"Huh?" Jean frowned.
"It's all because I give her too much care, and because I have too much political affairs to deal with, and I don't have time to play with her, so Sophia can't enjoy the childhood and freedom that a child should have, so she will escape from the palace and become a thief......"
“…………”
This situation is similar to that of Jean when he was a child, although the object is his brother, Ragnar; However, this time it was Jean's turn to be silent.
(Then, the police in the country of witches haven't caught your daughter for so long, should it be you...... )”
"Well, as Miss Letty said, I personally stopped their arrest."
(That will make Sophia hate you even more, and if the cops catch her, she'll think you're going to save her, and she'll think you really cared.) )”
“……”
(Instead, you didn't do that, but forgave and indulged her again and again, so that Sophia wouldn't treat you like family.) To be honest, Sophia actually wants to get your attention, so she will escape from the palace and become a thief. If you are angry about this and want to send someone to get her back, maybe Sophia will not confess to us that she was "abandoned by her family" as she is now. )”
"Is that really what Sophia said to you?!"
"Your personality is so gentle, gentle to the point that it is simply unreasonable, as Sophia's mother you have to be strict with her, make her feel that you actually love her, instead of focusing on national affairs and keeping Sophia in a cold birdcage like a bird."
Jean also used to empathize, when he was a child, Ragnar was too gentle with himself, if Ragnar cruelly refused his request, then he would not hate him for this, cut off his arm, and seek his "love".
But no matter what, things have passed, no matter how much you can redeem it, it is useless, the past is the past, the present is the present, this is the so-called life.
"When you meet Sophia, apologize to her, then slap her and scold her, maybe Sophia will forgive you for the mistakes you have made before."
Looking at the road ahead, the dragon's lair could already be faintly seen, and the destination was almost there, Medea decided to land nearby, and the phrase "Be careful to make the ship of ten thousand years" must be remembered.
Medea retracted the magic carpet and walked with Jean when she encountered a group of wild beasts looking for prey, including tigers and leopards.
"Roar!!" The tiger roared at them and made a preemptive move.
Click-
Jean provoked the "Snow Maiden" with just a "flash of action", and they were divided into five horses, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and finally ended in the form of frozen wreckage.
"I didn't expect there to be beasts here, and it seems that until we find them, we won't be able to move forward without clearing the obstacles we pass by." Jean smiled.
