Chapter 32: What the Dragon Can't Do
Cecia lives in a military district far from the city.
It has also been renovated into a facility dedicated to the research of dragon veins.
Zhao Chen directly brought the head maid and the earth spirit girl from the Americas to this facility of the National Research Institute.
When the earth spirit girl named Nanaki came to this research facility made of steel and cement, she instantly felt that she had been abducted and trafficked by Zhao Chen.
But when it came, she could only follow the team towards the depths of the research facility.
The head maid's mood was very stable, until she came to the testing ground of the research institute and saw the red dragon Cecia who had been absent for a long time, and was a little unable to control her emotions.
But the head maid still asked Zhao Chen's opinion, this is someone else's territory, and Cecia looks like she is doing some kind of experiment.
Zhao Chen asked the researchers in the National Research Institute, and after confirming that they could make contact, he made a gesture to the head maid.
Seeing Zhao Chen's gestures, the head maid couldn't control herself anymore, and after putting down the heavy suitcase in her hand first, she walked directly into the testing ground and hugged Checia, who was still in a state of confusion.
"Lord Cecia! It's great that you're safe! ”
"Robert... You... How did it come? ”
Cecia had known it through the perception of her breath... One of the closest dragon-blooded knights under her command, her 'second daughter' Robert visited.
"Of course, I am worried about your safety, and it is my duty to take care of your daily life."
The head maid, who was still immersed in the joy of the reunion, hugged her master for a while, and soon discovered something unusual.
These anomalies made the smile on the head maid's face gradually become serious.
was so serious that the head maid let go of Checia's embrace, and then looked up and down the red dragon who had only been away from the motherland for half a month.
"Mistress Cecia, you... Did you get fat? ”
The head maid's question made Cecia's expression freeze in place for a moment.
"How is this possible, Robert, you also know, I can't get used to eating food made by people other than you." Cecia argued in a somewhat flustered manner.
"Really?"
The head maid directly pinched the visible fat on Cecia's waist with her hand as she spoke.
"Then what's the matter with these two lumps of fat on your waist?"
"It's early in the morning! It's just that the outfits I wore when I was in my homeland were tight-fitting tunics, so I couldn't see it. Cecia continued to quibble.
"I changed your clothes for you! You didn't have these two stacks of extra stuff in your old waist. The chief maid said and pinched the fat on Cecia's waist in a very angry manner.
This made this red dragon miss so painful that tears were about to come out.
Zhao Chen, who had been watching from the side, knocked on the wall of the test site, attracting the attention of this master and servant.
"Does it make any difference if dragons are overweight?" Zhao Chen asked.
"It's okay, we dragons are..."
"It won't be able to fly." The head maid cruelly interrupted Cecia's quibbling and said, "Cecia's form is a reflection of her after turning into a dragon, and a slight weight gain in the human state will affect Cecia's flight speed, so I will strictly control Cecia's diet when I am in my homeland." ”
"So," the head maid said, nudging her round-rimmed glasses, and asked, "Lord Cecia, what have you been doing since you came to Huaguo... How much did you eat? ”
"Just a little?"
Cecia can still maintain the quality of a countess in front of the researchers of Huaguo, elegant and mature, and has a certain political ability.
But in front of the head maid, she became like a child.
The head maid didn't listen to the nonsense of the dragon she raised, and she looked at Zhao Chen for help.
Zhao Chen didn't want to answer this pointless question...
But the researcher next to him really handed Zhao Chen a report on the report on dragon diet and follow-up dragon feed order request.
Zhao Chen took a cursory look at this report, good guy... Cecia ate enough food a day to feed a hundred and thirty adult men, and this was consciously under her restraint.
"It's not much, the part of the meal money has already been paid by the Republic of Fallot with mineral resources."
Zhao Chen handed over this report, which was equivalent to a menu, to the head maid, who knew Daxia language, so she could understand this report.
The Republic of Farro also has a strong idea of how much this dragon can eat.
When looking for rabbits to buy goods, he also paid an additional amount of mineral assets unique to the dragon vein world as the dragon's food money, for fear that the dragon would be starved and thin in China.
But they didn't seem to take into account the fact that Cecia was raised in China so white that she couldn't fly.
Fortunately, the maid came in time, otherwise the weight of this red dragon would have tripled.
"Thank you, can I arrange Lord Cecia's meals in the future." The head maid really didn't want to see Cecia so fat that she couldn't fly.
"You're going to have to talk to the researchers here."
Zhao Chen's gaze turned to the researchers who had already gathered.
The head maid nodded her head and went to communicate with the current breeder of Cecia, the breeder of Huaguo doesn't even know how to control the amount of feed, and the matter of raising dragons still needs to be professional!
Zhao Chen was found by a person in charge of the National Research Institute.
"Team Zhao."
"Academician Yan."
Zhao Chen saluted the gray-haired academician, Yan Hou was a high-level academician in the field of biology in China.
"Does Team Zhao have time now? The research related to the dragon vein requires your cooperation, and we have also analyzed some things about the dragon vein, which should be helpful to Team Zhao for your follow-up actions. ”
Academician Yan has actually been waiting for Zhao Chen to return to China for a long time, because there are very few cases of perceiving the dragon vein reported in China.
Zhao Chen, who has an excellent talent for perceiving dragon veins, is a good object to study and observe.
"Please lead the way, and this is the spirit I brought back from the Republic of Falot, she is related to the future mission, and she has already reported it."
Zhao Chen didn't have any ink, and by the way, he also introduced the earth spirit girl who had been hiding next to him.
"Another Earth Spirit? But once a creature like the Earth Spirit leaves its habitat, it shouldn't be able to live, so in short, Team Zhao should come over first. ”
Academician Yan was a little surprised when he learned that the girl with dark brown skin was an earth spirit, and it was obviously not a native earth spirit, but he suppressed his surprise and led Zhao Chen towards another facility of the National Research Institute.
During this period, the earth spirit girl was attracted by the room on the side of the corridor, and Zhao Chen also stopped and looked at the room.
Sitting in the room was a large fragment of a dragon's tail.
Of course, it couldn't be Cecia's tail, the dragon's tail was covered with pitch-black scales, and the muscles at the severed tail were in the shape of a beautiful plum blossom.
This should be the remnant tail of the black dragon that was covered in fire and blown to pieces.
From Zhao Chen's point of view, this 'tail fragment' didn't seem to be dead yet, and its flesh and blood twitched regularly as if it was breathing.
The earth spirit girl Nanaki looked through the glass at the broken dragon tail and was already drooling.
It's a pity that with her humble status now, she can't eat this dragon tail meal at all.
What made Nanaki envious was that there was another earth spirit sitting under the dragon's tail, it was Zhao Chen's familiar earth spirit Beicheng, she sat quietly under the dragon's tail as if absorbing the energy in the dragon's tail.
After sensing Zhao Chen's return in the Earth Spirit North City, he opened his eyes, and then pounced on Zhao Chen in surprise, and even passed through the translucent glass for this pounce.
But Zhao Chen stretched out his hand and stopped her in mid-air... Then he took her by the waist and lowered her to the ground.
The somewhat discouraged Earth Spirit Beicheng stared at the newly emerged wild Earth Spirit with slightly hostile eyes.
Of course, Nanaki didn't dare to show weakness and glared at each other for a while, but soon the hunger in her stomach made her bow her head a little weakly.
It's like the Third World, living in war and poverty... Children who are not well fed and clothed look at the children of developed countries wearing new clothes and eating dragon meat with envious eyes and living a happy life.
But Beicheng is not a child of a developed country, and not long ago she was also in poverty, living a life of being bullied by foreign powers every day.
After the little girl's jealousy, Beicheng also felt the suffering of this kind in front of her, the same as the suffering she had suffered before.
So after obtaining the consent of Zhao Chen and Academician Yan, Beicheng took Nanaki to gnaw the dragon's tail together.
"The spirits that leave their habitat really need to take in other energy as a supply."
Academician Yan recorded the scene of the two little girls gnawing the dragon's tail together, and continued to take Zhao Chen towards the facilities in the depths of the National Research Institute.
Soon Zhao Chen came to Academician Yan's research room, and after changing into professional clothes, Academician Yan took Zhao Chen to a microscope.
"Team Zhao will take a look first and then express your thoughts, what you said you saw may be one of the truths of the dragon vein." Academician Yan said.
