27. Is it another princess!?
ps: While writing this chapter, I suddenly realized...... Why don't you change the name of this book to "Black Dragon Mage and Dragon Slayer Princess"? As long as the male protagonist rides the dragon slaying princess~~~ What do you think of this name?
"Hey, what do you think? A hellish look on his face. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
"It's nothing, it's just that the long-standing perception has been turned upside down." The expression on Asa's face was faint, in fact, Asa had been on this expression since he left Mosal and got into the carriage to Dugu City, and he didn't know that he thought he had entered the sage mode after being the old crow lord.
"Want to say it?" Serana's eyes flashed with gossip fire again.
"Well, you've asked five times along the way...... The beginning is different every time, but why is the end like this!? β
"Who makes people really curious!!" Serana's eyes sparkled, and it seemed that years of underground sleep could not extinguish a woman's innate gossip mentality. These days have not been long or short, but Asa also saw that this eldest lady was a curious baby, and she had to do something new when she saw it.
"This ...... Well, it's not a big deal anyway. You put your ears together. Serana couldn't help but be a little amused when she saw Asa looking left and right, looking like a thief, but she was also really curious, after all, Asa's previous stimulated appearance was really rare, so she obediently leaned her ear over.
Don't be surprised! You saw that Alva, right? Pretty right? Don't look at me like that, that's not the point I'm going to make! You'd better keep your mouth covered, lest you'll be heard by the coachman!" β¦β¦ Well, that's right, that's it, can you see that!? She is actually the illegitimate daughter of that old woman lord!! β
As soon as these words came out, Serana couldn't help but be startled, Igrod Old Raven Lord, she had seen them once when she came to see them off, she was old, and there were so many wrinkles on her face that she could trap mosquitoes, and she couldn't tell that she could give birth to such a beautiful daughter!
More importantly, the old woman's concubine...... Uh, nice? β¦β¦ Forget it, my lover is actually my master! I'll it! Haven't you seen my master, who usually looks so sanctimonious! When I was reprimanded, it was a set! TMD has such a strong taste inside! Actually has a leg with such an old woman! Asa was a little angry when she said this, and Serana wanted to laugh when she saw it, but she still explained in a low voice: "Your way of thinking is wrong, the daughters of both of them are so old, it means that the two of them have long been ...... At that time, maybe this lord was still a beauty~~"
"(whispering) Well, hopefully, otherwise it will be difficult for me to look at my master with normal sight in the future......"
Serana suddenly remembered something, and said in surprise: "(whispering) No wonder you ended up sparing Alva and Larlet's lives, and you also proposed to escort the two of them to the Winter Castle Academy to treat your master...... It turned out that it was the lord's illegitimate daughter who saved her death! β
(whispering) Not really! Before I went to Movas I wondered why the lord was begging me not to kill Alva, and the reason was here! I hadn't figured out how my master had come to Mosar City to study the cure of vampires, but now that he found out that his daughter had become a vampire! I did this to treat my daughter. Asa was a little heavy when he said this, because he thought that if the lord and Farion had discovered Alva's anomaly and did not reveal it out of the desire to protect their daughter, then the tragedy of Helji's mother and daughter could be said to have been caused by the two of them.
"It's normal for parents to think more about their children." Serana said this in a slightly embarrassed tone, probably thinking of her own parents, Asa thought.
"You ......" "Guest! We're almost in Dugu City! Asaben also wanted to take the opportunity to ask Serana's family why she was locked in the underground cave, when the voice of the coachman driving in front of her suddenly interjected, and the carriage was now on the road by the Kas River, and from here you could see the majestic Dugu City on the opposite bank. Asa shrugged his shoulders in his heart, feeling that this may be the so-called time has not come, and he can't force it.
"Wow! The big windmill of the lonely city! I've wanted to see it up close for a long time! Serana's attention was immediately drawn to Dugu City, and she pointed at the majestic Dugu City on the other side of the river like an ordinary traveler, as excited as a child.
It was the first time Asa had seen the capital of the Skyrim Province, and he was naturally amazed by the city's bold appearance.
Solitude is located in the Halfingal Fiefdom, a relatively small, mountainous fiefdom that encompasses the northwestern coastline of Skyrim Province, and is sometimes mistaken for one and the same because of its fame. Perched on a massive rock as high as a bridge that spans the Kas River and the end of the Kas Delta, Dugu City is second to none in its magnificence across the entire Empire.
Located on the northern shore of Skyrim Province, Dugu City is also home to the most important port in Skyrim Province, and under the wise leadership of many lords, Solitary City has become the wealthiest city in Skyrim Province. Important facilities such as the Imperial Legion Headquarters, the Eastern Imperial Company Warehouse, the Blue Palace, the Bard's Academy, and the Somer Embassy are all located in and around Solitude.
"Then let's go into the city and have a look, shall we?" Seeing that Serana was full of interest in Dugu City, Asa couldn't help but make this proposal, but the smile on Serana's face suddenly cooled down, shook her head with some regret and some nostalgia, and said softly: "This place is very close to my home, I still want to go home first." β
"That's right...... Hawkers, Dugu City won't run away, you've been away from home for so long, it's time to go home first. Speaking of which, you haven't told me what your home looks like? β
Serana had a look of remembrance in her eyes and said softly, "It used to be my favorite place, my mother had a big garden at the back of the house, and I loved to play there the most when I was a child. From the balcony you can see the shadow of Dugu City, when I was a child, I often begged my parents to take me to Dugu City, now ...... I don't know what's going on, sorry, I really don't know what has become of it. β
Asa shook his head: "You don't need to apologize, after all...... So long. β
"yes...... I left really...... It's been too long......" A look of loneliness appeared on Serana's face, and through this period of understanding, Asa and Serana discovered that Serana had been imprisoned in the sarcophagus of the Void Crypt at least in the First Age, and even if calculated from the end of the First Age, Serana had been away for more than 1,300 years. For such a long time, if Serana's parents were ordinary people, they would definitely be dead, but if Serana was a purebred vampire, you can guess that her parents were definitely not "ordinary people" either.
"Don't think about it so much, anyway, let's go to your house and have a look, won't we?"
Looking at the sunny smile on Asa's face, Serana simply didn't think about it so much, smiled again, and nodded at Asa.
β¦β¦
"Hey, hey, hey!! That's not what you say! How close to home is this!? In order to get here, Asa and Serana crossed the Halfingal Mountains, and then followed the coastline all the way to the end of the coastline, this section of the journey is almost comparable to Mossar to Dugu City, but every time Serana says, "It's almost coming, it's almost coming", and Asa, who is known as having "iron feet", can't stand it, so tired that he has his hands on his knees, and he must complain about Serana to be willing.
"Okay, okay~~~ Isn't this coming?" Serana was also a little embarrassed, scratching the back of her head and sticking out her tongue slightly, almost hooking out Asa's soul.
"Arrived? No matter how you look at it, the only thing here is that the fortress garrisoned by the Sommers looks like it can be inhabited, so don't tell me your house is there. Asa was pointing to the northern fortress that Sommer had built on the coast to protect the embassy, and Asa was just joking in his suspicion that it was Serana's home.
"Of course not~~ Didn't you see a small boat here?" Serana grimaced and pointed in the other direction, where there was a dilapidated "dock" that could be called a dock if a few rotten planks were stacked on a few equally rotten stakes...... Next to such a "pier", there was a small boat that was already partially mossed, and it was not Serana who had made a point of explaining it, but Asa thought that the boat had been abandoned by the local fishermen.
"I'll go, do you ...... your house," Asa asked, pointing to the white sea, a little incredulous.
"Answer correctly~~ Reward you for rowing and taking me over!" With a playful smile on her face, Serana ran to the boat and sat down like a schoolboy, as if she was afraid that Asa would not be able to see it, and raised her hand to indicate to Asa where the oars were.
At this time, Asa suddenly had a conjecture: Serana should not ...... Like the second princess, she is also a rich lady, right? Even if she becomes a vampire, this eldest lady is still a great lady! It is really not a cover to arouse people.
