In human lore, dragons are mysterious and powerful beings.

Among the stories that have been passed down through the ages, there are many legends of dragon slayers in which human heroes killed evil dragons.

Many parents often scare their children that if you don't obey, an evil dragon will come and take you away, and then lock you in a hole in the mountain with no clothes to wear and nothing to eat.

It's just that Linda, who is watching a giant dragon gradually disappear into the clouds, feels that her three views need to be reshaped, and she has seen the dragon delivering couriers twice in a short period of time, which completely subverts her understanding of the dragon.

Especially this time, she also wrote a letter for the courier to help deliver it home to her father, telling him that she was all right outside.

It's just that the postage of the dragon courier is a bit high, and she has to choose to pay.

When the dragon was completely gone, she looked at Diana, who was sitting on the other end of the carriage, and asked curiously, "What did Charles send you this time?"

Diana looked at the beautifully packaged and heavy boxes in the car, and her heart was a little happy, she said, "He specially sent me a birthday present." ”

Linda said in a lemon-flavored tone, "That's good." ”

"Count him as having a conscience. Diana said as she unpacked the box.

I saw that under the outer packaging was a sturdy storage box, and after opening this storage box, there was a slightly smaller and equally sturdy storage box placed inside......

Diana's little mouth pouted, and then opened the second box.

Eventually, she pulled out a brick from the last box, one side of which read "Happy Birthday" and the other "May our friendship be as unbreakable as this brick."

"Hehe......" Diana checked the brick in her hand, for her, this brick is not a good time now, and it is estimated that it will be just right when she grows up in a few years!

Thousands of miles away, Mordred obediently and sensibly handed a handkerchief to Charles, who had just sneezed, Charles smiled and refused, but took off his mask and wiped it casually with his sleeve and put it back on.

"It's okay, let's continue. Charles took the parchment in his hand and reported to everyone, "The latest news I got this morning is that wearing 'Sea Blue' can protect the body from disease, wearing 'Sky Blue' can make people family harmony, and 'Dream Blue' has become the first choice for gifts between couples." ”

"An hour ago, the latest shipment of blue crystal arrived at the terminal, which was sold for twice as much as it was on D-day. ”

"According to the latest news from the boatman, due to the heavy rain a few days ago, the river is too strong, and the itinerary of the cargo ship going upriver has been affected, so it is only half a day late. ”

"However, the heavy rain continues in the south, and a new round of rain is coming in the north, and the ship's family expects that the next arrival time may be more severely affected. ”

After reporting what he had seen and heard this morning, Charles put down the parchment and ate his lunch for the day.

At this time, Charles was in a place like a villain meeting, with thick curtains closed at noon, and the dimly lit dining room was lit by candles.

The caravan and the others all sat around the long dining table with solemn faces, talking to each other while eating lunch.

Outside the restaurant, heavily armed people patrol the corridors and windowsills.

If someone unwitting breaks into here, they will think that the people here are plotting some kind of terrorist act that will shock the whole world.

Aubrey, who finished eating a chicken leg, rubbed his hands with a napkin and said, "So far, the situation is clear, and someone is behind the hype of this blue crystal. ”

"Based on past experience, the price of these crystals is estimated to be about fifty times that of the day we arrived a month later, which is D-Day. ”

Then Elizabeth, who had finished drinking the juice, put down the glass, and said solemnly, "Since we have encountered such a thing this time, then we can't treat it as if we didn't see it." ”

"People eat meat, and we can't just drink a little soup. ”

"I declare that Operation 'Blue Leek' begins now!"

"Aubrey, it's up to you to command next. ”

Soon, the caravan after lunch, got into a carriage, took the porcelain that had been replenished for the past three days to the docks, and left the city of Mason by boat down the river in full view of everyone.

In the middle of the night, a cargo boat docked on a tributary of the river, and two small figures disembarked alone through a rope.

As the sun rose over the eastern horizon, two wagons carrying vegetables and chickens and ducks stopped, and the driver of the previous car saw two children on the side of the road stopping the carriage.

"What are you going to do?!" asked the butler, who was sitting next to the old coachman, in a sharp voice.

A child dressed in dirty clothes and with a linen belt wrapped around his face said respectfully to the butler, "Sir, my sister and I have come from the north, and we are going to join our relatives in the city of Mason. How should I get to Mason City?"

The butler pointed to the front of the road and said, "You are wrong, go ahead and you will be the west gate of Mason City." ”

"Huh?!" the little boy cried out in surprise.

He kept bowing and thanking, "Thank you, thank you, sir, I almost continued south to the place where the elves lived." ”

Then he cautiously asked, "Sir, can you let us take a car and go to the city together?" ”

"No, get out!" the butler knocked the boy aside, and then let the coachman drive on.

After the carriage left, the little boy reluctantly said to the little girl who was also dirty on the side of the road, "There is no way to take a ride, we can only walk over." ”

Towards noon, the two children finally came to the city gate.

Just as they were about to enter the city, the spears of the city guards were aimed at the two of them.

"We know the rules, we know the rules!" shouted the little boy as he pulled out a small copper coin from his pants, "We pay the city tax, we pay the city tax." ”

"Who are you?" asked the two of them as the captain of the gate asked the two of them, keeping the spearhead of their spear from each other's chests.

"We're coming from the north. The little boy, who was sweating profusely and trembling with his feet trembling with the spear in front of him, said with a crying voice, "Our family has suffered and all the adults have died, so we have come here to join our relatives." Halfway through the way, we went the wrong way, and we came after asking the old man with two carriages. ”

The team leader saw that although the little boy was covered in mud and was so frightened that he almost urinated, he spoke in an orderly manner, not the kind of person who couldn't explain a sentence three times after repeating it, which showed that the child had a good tutor. And the little girl behind him who could only tremble could also see that her skin was not bad.

So the squad leader asked, "Who are you here to take refuge in the city?"

The little boy breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I have come to my aunt, who works as a soothsayer in the city. ”

The squad leader continued to ask, "How does your aunt look?"

The little boy looked dazed, thought for a while, and then gestured with his hand in an arc on his chest and said, "I haven't seen her, but I heard my father say that she is very big here." ”

The squad leader breathed a sigh of relief, there was indeed such a soothsayer in the city. This shows that these two children are probably not fugitives, beggars or the like, and it is okay to put them in the city. So he pointed to the wooden box beside the gate where the city tax was placed, and said, "Throw the money into it yourself." ”

Then he called the two recruits, "Take them to the soothsayer, and if they are liars, arrest them." ”

After a while, the four of them arrived in front of a fortune teller in Mason City. The sooth shop is decently furnished, with a doorbell cord on the left outside the shop for visitors to pull, and a blackboard on the right that reads "Mason City, Heavy Rains Recently."

After pulling the doorbell, I saw a young woman with a mind like a watermelon open the door and walked out.

She indifferently said to the two children who came to the door, "Ru, watermelon seeds, you are here." ”
