Ekhtadon City, Royal Gardens.

Beside the tranquil lakeside, colorful sunflowers are in full bloom, and the petals dance to the whisper of the summer breeze, driven by the air currents that linger between the trees. The sunset dyed the entire sky in a red color. The clouds that cover the sky flow slowly like currents, outlining the grand outline of the city to the south of the Mirror Lake.

With fishing gear in hand and a neat family, Evan is fishing and having fun by the lake.

Speaking of which, he is now in the open, Da Ai gave birth to two boys and a girl for him, Erica gave birth to a little boy, Rennie's daughter is just one year old, Tachibana recently gave birth to twins, and Gogo Ruila also has a daughter...... Before you know it, the family has suddenly grown.

In addition to fishing, looking at the wife and children around him is also a family pleasure.

Alas...... When I thought I wouldn't be able to live forever, why didn't I experience it?

Thinking of this, Ivan held the fishing rod in his hand and turned his gaze to Elu Romei and the others beside him.

At this time, Da Ai and Xiao Ai were fishing in a vigorous competition, and I don't know if it was cheating, the fish caught by Da Ai were bigger than one, and Xiao Ai was a aggrieved fisher. Renee is torn between the two of them, while Erica and Tachibana are in a Buddhist posture that is not in contention, chatting while breastfeeding their baby.

And Gogorela...... Sitting on a wooden fishing boat, drifting aimlessly down the river.

Looking from Evan's point of view, the dragon girl sat in the stern of the fishing boat with her hands on her cheeks, her long narrow tail coming out of her skirt and falling into the water, stirring the water waves for a while.

Reflecting the evening glow, she looked like a melancholy poetess.

Gogorella's depression is an atypical form of postpartum blues, and the causes of the depression are subtle – she suspects that the daughter she gave birth to is not her own.

Here's how it happened.

Perhaps because of the strong Evan genes, when Gogorella gave birth to her daughter, she did not lay eggs like other dragons, but was pregnant for ten months and gave birth to a baby.

This production brought a huge psychological shadow to her, and she even began to doubt Longsheng...... The pain is one thing, after all, the pain of laying eggs and giving birth is completely different.

What's more, after determining that the child she gave birth to was not an egg and a baby girl, Gogorela had some kind of cognitive impairment - all dragons, including her, were born from eggs, and her daughter was actually viviparous, which is not scientific.

Just like Li Tianwang saw that his wife was pregnant for three years and gave birth to a ball, he knew that it was his own species, but he still couldn't accept it psychologically, so he shouted 'demon' and slashed it with a sword.

Guoguo Ruila is a little better than Li Jing, she didn't shout demons, nor did she slash with a sword, she just felt that her daughter had nothing to do with her.

After Evan understood the situation, he felt that the problem was very big, and hurriedly found a psychiatrist to treat her - your daughter was born by yourself, and you don't think it's your own, isn't this a typical illness.

After the doctor's guidance, Gogorella is much better now, and can reluctantly accept her daughter's existence, only occasionally autistic, feeling that she is missing something, and she can't hold her head up in front of other dragons.

“......”

Looking at the dragon girl slowly floating in front of his eyes, Evan sighed, thinking about whether to let Gogorella get pregnant a few more times, so as to help her accept the premise that she could be viviparous.

He watched the melancholy Gogo Ruila go away, and noticed that the dispute between Xiao Ai and Xiao Ai behind him was getting louder and louder - it seemed that Da Ai had fished too much and had an absolute advantage in the game, which aroused Xiao Ai's suspicions.

......

"Are you cheating? How can you catch so much in ordinary fishing!?"

Xiao Ai looked at his basket with only a shallow layer of small fish, and then at the other party's basket full of big fish, and suddenly became angry: "This is not fair! The competition is definitely shady! Why do I catch all small fish, while your fish are big and fat!"

"Hehehe, if you can't do it, blame others for cheating, is your heart narrower than your chest?"

"If you're not convinced, we can swap places. Or you beg me, call me sister, and I may consider giving you half of the fish. ”

"That's impossible! I don't want to call myself sister!" Xiao Ai stuck out her tongue in disgust, sat back on the bench, and threw out the fishing rod vigorously to continue fishing.

"It's childish. Looking at the other party's puffed up, Da Ai seemed very happy, threw out the fishing line with high spirits, and sat down elegantly to continue fishing.

It didn't take long for her rod to react again, and the lake on the other side of the line rippled in circles.

"Gee, looks like I've caught a big fish again. ”

Da Ai stood up with a bright face, took half a step back, and pulled hard, and the fishing line in the water was suddenly thrown high, and with her beautiful movements, a large fish with a flat body, dark color, and a shape similar to a bat broke through the water.

"Bats, batfish!?"

Seeing this scene, Xiao Ai was directly stunned, and then reacted instantly, and her pretty face turned red with anger: "You have fished out of the sea in the freshwater lake, and you still say that you are not cheating!"

"It's that you're rare and weird. ”

Da Ai looked disappreciative, straightened up his proud chest, and said confidently: "It's the rainy season now, and when the sea tide is high, it is easy to wash the sea fish into the Holy River, and the Holy River will send the sea fish to Mirror Lake, which is completely reasonable, right!?"

"Unbelievable!" Xiao Ai was choked by her snatching Bai Bai and panting, looking like she wanted to break the fishing rod and turn her head and leave directly.

Beside them, Evan looked at a large turtle he had just caught, and fell into deep thought.

On the other side, Tachibana and Erica, two good friends, are happily picking up starfish by the lake.

"Look at you!"

Soon, Xiao Ai found something again, pointed to the lake in the distance and said, "What is that? Do you want to say that that thing was also washed into the holy river by the tide?"

Da Ai was in a good state of mind, followed her fingers, and found that on the surface of the sparkling lake, there was a shark's dorsal fin floating......

"yes, is it strange that sharks are washed into freshwater lakes by the tide?" asked Da Aiqiang calmly.

"Ahhhh

Before she could finish speaking, everyone heard Gogorella scream and rush into the sky, and immediately looked nervously.

The moment she turned her head to look at the fishing boat, she saw the dragon girl spread her dragon wings, kicked the fishing boat over, and then rushed into the sky in a half-human, half-dragon posture; a three-meter-long megalodon was biting her tail, as if it was taking the tip of her slender tail as some kind of delicious fish, and was still chewing hard while biting.

"Why are there such big sharks in the lake!?"

When the dragon girl saw what was attacking her, she flicked her tail vigorously in anger and threw the megalodon out.

The megalodon was thrown high with a bewildered face, and landed on the shore of the lake along a parabola, just in the middle of the big and small Ai.

“......”

Xiao Ai glanced at the megalodon that fell to the ground and twitched, then raised his head again and looked at Da Ai with disdain: "Do you want to say that the megalodon, a specialty of the Western Ocean, was also swept into the holy river by the tide?"

"What's going on?" Da Ai pretended to be innocent and spread his hands and made an unaware expression.

"I'm shipped! I'm shipped!"

Feeling a pull at the end of the rod, Evan stood up excitedly, and immediately pulled hard, and with the splash, a fat white seal broke through the water, jumped high along the retracted fishing line, and then landed heavily on the shore of the lake.

He pulled up the fat seal, looked at the seal's innocent little eyes, and his face suddenly turned blue: "I said why can't I catch fish, it turns out that the lake is full of fish-eating things!"

Seeing this scene, Da Ai silently covered his face, then squatted on the ground, replacing Guoguo Ruila into autistic mode.

"Hahahaha!"

Xiao Ai raised his eyebrows and laughed loudly, leaned over to Da Ai, who was covering his face and squatting on the ground, and said very viciously: "Can't you afford to lose so much? In order to win me, even the polar seals have been found, what is this? Do you want to say that the seals were washed by the tide from the polar regions to the Western Ocean, and then from the Western Ocean to the Holy River? Stupid stupid fool, this way of cheating is too stupid, right!?"

“......”

Da Ai, who was self-contained, didn't say anything, let her complain and sarcastic, and at the same time secretly regretted that she had found a pig teammate.

Just when Xiao Ai was complaining about Da Ai, Evan stretched out his hand to volley in the air, and a slender figure suddenly pounced out of the lake, splashing everywhere, and her long light blue hair flew between the crystal droplets of water - it was a mermaid out of the water.

......

"I'm so sorry!"

The mermaid trembled and crawled on the ground, and kept apologizing: "I originally just wanted to drive away some ordinary fish and let His Majesty and the Queen fish happily...... But I didn't expect the spell to get out of control and attract a lot of strange things, I'm very sorry!"

“......”

Evan glanced at his trophies, which included turtles, seals, black sea rays, and a drowned, half-dead white bear.

It's really weird.

"So, you're cheating on behalf of the queen, aren't you?" he asked, a little amused.

“......”

Hearing his words, the mermaid suddenly trembled even more, secretly glanced at Da Ai, who was still in place, and nodded hurriedly: "The queen ordered me to cooperate with her fishing, as long as I make sure that every fish she catches is big and fat, there will be a reward." ”

"Alright, alright. ”

Evan wanted to laugh when he heard this, and didn't want to continue to pursue it, so he waved his hand: "You take all the things you have recruited, go home, and don't help people cheat in the future." ”

"Yes!" the mermaid quickly turned around and jumped into the lake, quickly disappearing.

"So are you. ”

Evan looked at Renee and the others and motioned for them to go back.

Renny and the others obediently turned around and left, only Xiao Ai still didn't leave, stayed where he was and continued to ridicule Da Ai, his expression and movements were no different from those of demons.

It wasn't until Ivan winked at her that she clapped her hands with a smile of satisfaction, and bounced back.

After everyone left, Evan walked to Da Ai, who was covering his face and squatting on the ground, and coughed lightly: "Everyone is gone, how long are you going to squat?"

"Leave me alone, I'm ashamed...... Let me stay here alone. My heart is dead, and now it's a tree, a stone......" Da Ai's plain hand came out with her loveless voice.

"Oh well. ”

Evan nodded, and turned away without hesitation: "I'll take a picture of Fisman right now, and let him see with his own eyes your self-conscious image after cheating." ”

"Don't! Don't!" Da Ai quickly stood up, hurriedly chased after him, and grabbed the hem of his clothes.

"......" Ivan turned around and glanced at her flustered silver eyes, "Then why don't you go back together?"

One-one-one-one-one-one

Royal Court, Office.

Evan sat in his seat, and on the couch in front of him, the figure of Kalenz sat upright.

"Everything is ready, our mech corps has returned, ready to go!" Karenz said in a sonorous voice.

"Good, go according to plan. Ivan bowed his head lightly and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Evan ...... Regarding the shelling of Arad, I made a mistake in judgment......" Kalenz lowered his head, showing a guilty look, and his heart was also unusually entangled.

When he ordered the bombardment of the Arad continent, he didn't expect it to be a game set up by Caroso, and by the time he saw the ferocity of the adventurer, things seemed to have become irreparable.

"It's not your fault. Evan drank half a cup of tea and looked at him calmly: "With the situation at that time, even I would have given the same order." ”

"But the big mistake has already been made...... Karenz looked at him and gritted his teeth sharply: "If you really can't do it, you can hand me over!?I am the culprit who destroyed the Arad continent, as long as I die, the resentment of those adventurers will definitely be calmed down a lot." ”

"Ridiculous!"

Evan put down the teacup heavily, stood up from his seat suddenly, and looked at him with a fierce expression: "Who do you think of me!? I will use your life to please adventurers? Listen, they are really important to me, but you are even more important!

"......" Kalenz lowered his head and did not speak again, but his heart was warm.

"Tomorrow is the day of the Warrior Alliance, and the Kidans will represent the Machine Empire to negotiate with the adventurers of Kashni's home planet. Evan walked to the window, lifted the curtain, and looked at the bright moon in the sky:

"Hulld and Kahn will be there as well, they'll be looking forward to a good show, you have to be ready. ”

"Of course. Karenz smiled.

"By the way, what's going on over there?"

"Mistress Prey told me that Karn and Herder only superficially trusted him, but in fact did not believe anything of him at all. Kalenz replied immediately.

"Just what I want!"

Evan loosened the curtains, walked to the desk, picked up the cup and drank the tea: "Without the bait of Prey, I really can't catch them......"
