At the mansion at 13 Ducan Road, Rand proudly showed me the birthday present he was going to give to Onira. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It was a red velvet satin box, and when opened, there was a delicate necklace inside. I took a closer look at the pendant on it, it was beautifully made and emitted a strange glow. I was a little curious, so I asked, "This pendant looks very special, what is it made of?" ”

Rand smiled: "It's dragon scales." ”

"Dragon scales?" I couldn't believe it: "You mean, these are dragon scales?" ”

Although there are many magical creatures in the world we live in, dragons are extremely rare, and it is rare to even have one in the world for hundreds of years. At present, there are only three or four known to be alive. Moreover, this creature is extremely irritable and obedient, and it is particularly difficult to control and control. The slightest loss of control will destroy farmland and cities on a large scale, and it is an extremely powerful and deterrent species. Those who have the ability to control the dragon will be selected by the Holy Court to become Dragon Knights, serving as executive officers in the Holy Court, shouldering the important responsibility of maintaining the balance of the entire world.

In this world, there are many races, strife, and bloody killings and wars are staged every day. Because of the fundamental and irreconcilable contradictions between the various races, the struggle and the flames of war will never stop. There may be feuds between different races, and they often get into a heated fight as soon as they meet, and they refuse to give up without distinguishing between life and death. This is the need for an absolutely neutral, deterrent body capable of regulating and connecting all races, and the Holy See plays that role.

As far as I know now, we Terrans don't know much about the Holy Court. But even ordinary children know that it is a formidable enough existence. No one knows where it is or what its personnel are in, but they all have a general impression of it, that is, it is powerful.

The Holy Court is a place where the elites of various races are gathered, and only the most sophisticated people have the opportunity to enter it, and it is also a melting pot of races, and the people in it, whether you are a human or a demon, a god or an elf, are all equal existences. This is also the reason why this body is able to maintain absolute neutrality between the various forces. And the people who enter the Holy Court seem to have drawn a clear line with the original race, and they have gathered together to form a force that transcends the rest of the races, controlling the direction of each race, and at the same time protecting the origin of this world, Mother Earth. Through the power of Mother Earth, they have become the rulers of this world, invisibly controlling the direction of the world. And we can only be reduced to playthings, carrying out their planned lives in the world they designed.

Rand looked at me in surprise and explained with a smile, "This was given to me by a duke when I was studying in the Brubart Empire. He told me that it wasn't just an ordinary necklace, and that the pendant was made from the scales of the dragon knight Sharon's dragon. ”

Although people know very little about the Holy Court, the Dragon Knight is a well-known existence. Nominally, the Dragon Knights are the second most powerful beings in the Holy Court after Mother Earth, but in reality they are the real rulers of the Holy Court. Their every move is affecting the whole world. Therefore, what they do will always be a topic of concern for ordinary people. In addition, the number of dragons is very small, which leads to the number of dragon knights is also very small, so their basic situation is still very clear to people. For example, the owner of the dragon scales, the dragon knight Sharon, she has been a dragon knight for more than three hundred years, not only for a long time, but also she is the only female knight. Because the dragon she controls represents light, people have a good opinion of her, and she should be a kind and gentle character in the public's impression. But the dragon knight who is most interested in it right now is the same name as me, Rosa de Dingenier.

Rosa de Dingenier is a nobleman of the Protoss. He's only been a Dragon Knight for less than two years, so unlike Sharon, little is known about him, and he's always a bit of mystery in human conversations. In addition, the human race naturally worships and longs for the "Divine Domain" floating continent Adelan, so people's worship of him is more superstitious. It is precisely because of this kind of treatment that can be mythologized that being able to enter the Holy Court and become a dragon knight has become the dream of thousands of people in this world.

Unlike Rand and I, I don't have anything so precious to give to Onira, but I don't want to be left behind, after all, this is an opportunity to express myself, even if I know that there will never be anything between me and Onira.

So in the afternoon, I went to the Designer Street by myself, trying to choose a birthday present for Aonila that was not necessarily precious, but it must be delicate and interesting.

The weather was nice today, and I walked into a random shop. The windows on both sides are filled with a variety of items, making it a sight to behold. I was immediately worried that I didn't know what to choose. One is because I really don't know what kind of things girls like, and the other is because the prices of these small items are staggering. The court would give me a monthly subsidy, which was not a lot for ordinary people, but it still made me feel a little shy in the face of these expensive luxuries.

Just as I was hesitating, a figure suddenly came in from outside the door, and the bell hanging in the door made a messy sound, which seemed a little hurried.

The figure crashed into me. I was startled, and my instinctive reaction was that Hong Luo was coming, and she usually likes to pounce on others. But my gut told me it wasn't her, because the body wasn't quite alike. It wasn't until I stood still that I could see her clearly.

It was a tall and slender girl about my age. She has long black curly hair, with peugeot features, and is a rare beauty, looking like she should be dressed as a young lady from a noble family. But somehow there was a hint of panic in her eyes at this time, and she was a little unsteady when she bumped into me at the beginning, so she raised her hand and knocked down a delicate music box on the shelf.

The box fell to the ground and cracked into pieces with a crisp sound.

The girl looked even more flustered.

I looked at her bewildered expression and wondered: with her identity, even if she broke a valuable music box, she wouldn't be so nervous, right?

That's when I saw a private in the block outside. This area is an upper-class neighborhood, and there are guards guarding the periphery, so it stands to reason that there shouldn't be soldiers here to maintain order, right? Why is it so abnormal today? And looking at the dress of those privates, it doesn't look like a formal national army, but more like a defense soldier trained in a mansion. I casually glanced at the girl, and found that she was more nervous than before, leaning against the back of the cabinet as if she was hiding from something.

It dawned on me that the soldiers were looking for this girl! The girl was a little anxious and turned around to leave, but was stopped by the shopkeeper because she had broken the music box.

"I don't have any money." The girl said to the waiter, but her tone was much calmer than expected.

"It's okay, I can go to the house with Miss to get it." The waiter spoke slowly, without a hint of annoyance in his tone.

The girl stood without speaking, and there was no trace of emotion on her face. It reinforced my earlier suspicion that she was hiding from her home.

There are so many things going on in these big families, I can't help but think like this. After all, in such a rebellious age, it is still relatively common for noble ladies to be carried away by love, elope with people, lose their temper and run away from home, or something.

It's just that what surprises me is that judging from this young lady's attitude and tone of voice, she doesn't look like the type that will have a hot brain?

I couldn't help but be a little curious about her.

Originally, I would never get involved in the private affairs of such a big family, but this time, for some reason, I actually had the urge to help her.

I shoved the money into the waiter's hand, then took a cloak from the wall and draped it over the girl. I took the girl's hand and tried to get her out of here through the back door. Her expression was a little surprised when she saw my movements, but she quickly regained her composure and followed me without saying anything. I walked so fast that she could follow, and we were like a little couple, shuttling through the streets. The girl's hands were shaking, and she could see that she was really nervous just now.

After walking for some time, we finally made a detour to another block, and it was not until there was no suspicious person around us that we stopped. After resting for a while, the girl said to me gratefully, "Thank you just now." ”

"It's nothing," I said pretending to be dashing, but my heart was dripping blood for my skinny wallet, "By the way, why are they chasing you?" ”

The girl did not reply, her face became a little ugly, and she obviously did not want to say anything to me.
