Homesickness is the most sincere emotion in everyone's heart, and the longer you are away from home, the stronger this emotion is in your heart.

Frank, who has been out for many days, is a little worried about the situation of his family. After visiting several villages that had been destroyed by the Red Dragon, he led his army back.

When the group saw the appearance of Dragonclaw City from afar, everyone was very excited, and people's eyes were fixed on the towering dragon statue in the city. The picture of happiness after meeting his family flashed in his mind.

When the army approached Dragonclaw, they were greeted by a crowd of people, who had blocked the entire city gate. This scene was also a little unexpected for Frank.

Walter had thought that these people were all waiting for their triumphant return, but when he looked closely, he realized that something was wrong. The men all turned their backs to their direction and did not notice at all that there was an army returning.

"Father, I thought there were so many people greeting us. But you see they're all turning their backs to us!" Walter couldn't help but express his doubts.

Frank also saw the problem, and said casually, "Well, it's the first time I've seen so many people in so many years! Is it really weird?"

Just when everyone was confused by the situation in front of them, a huge red dragon corpse suddenly appeared in the crowd.

Frank and the others instantly understood that the group of people was huddling together to watch the red dragon. And in this sea of people, there is an extremely long line. People were lining up in a zigzag line, as if waiting for something.

The return of Frank and the others apparently did not attract the attention of these people, and people talked and laughed about their contents. Such a reaction struck Frank as strange.

Walter took one look at his father and asked, "Father, what's going on······?"

Before Walter could finish his sentence, Frank stopped him, ignoring the men and walking straight into Dragonclaw. The people in the team didn't expect such a thing, and they all looked back as they walked.

A man in the crowd shouted, "Those who have already touched it should hurry up, and those who will follow behind." Hey, hurry up. ”

Walter felt that this man's voice was very familiar, so he looked back and saw that it was Winter Ryder. I saw that he didn't know where to find a wooden chair, and stood on tiptoe, commanding hard.

Walter wanted to go and see it, but his father didn't notice it, so he followed the team into the city.

In the city, only a handful of people were waiting for Frank's return. Such a scene made everyone inevitably disappointed.

When Knight Jones saw the return of Frank and the others, he hurriedly stepped forward to lead the horse for Frank. Seeing Jones come in front of him, Frank quickly jumped off his horse and said, "Jones, how come there are so many people gathered outside the city gates! You must have been back for a few days." Haven't people seen enough of that red dragon?"

Hearing Frank's question, Jones Knight looked embarrassed, he thought for a moment and said, "Lord Duke, you may not know a lot of things when you just came back. That was done by Winter. ”

"Winter, what's the matter?" said Frank, frowning at the hearing of Winter's name.

Jones Knight explained the matter to Frank one by one. It turned out that since the body of the red dragon was temporarily placed in that location, people were terrified at first. Worried that the red dragon was coming back to life, some bold people began to think about touching the giant creature.

As a result, more and more people began to gather here. Winter didn't care at first, and he accompanied Haidt to study the red dragon. Suddenly, one day, a man wanted to touch the body of the red dragon, so he made a request to Winter.

Winter agreed, and soon more and more people made the same request after the man touched the dragon's body. This was unexpected, and at first he personally agreed, but later Winter found a wooden board and wrote a few words on it: "1 gold coin at a time".

So people started queuing up and paying money to visit the Red Dragon. The news spread quickly, and people from nearby cities also came to Dragonclaw City to touch the world's strongest creature.

After listening to the Jones knight's explanation, Frank sank his face and said, "You go and get Winter, and Haight." I want to see them. By the way, let those people go back. From now on, no one will be allowed to visit again. ”

"Yes, my subordinates will do it. Jones Knight saw Frank's displeasure and hurried to the Winter brothers.

At this time, Winter was asleep in his chair. The bag next to it was full of gold coins. These gold coins are all the trophies of his war these days.

As Frank passed by with his army, he was so immersed in the excitement of commanding the crowd that he had completely oblivious to the returning ranks. He never dreamed that his father would come back so soon.

When the Jones knight saw that Winter was sleeping, he nudged him and said, "Hey! Hey, wake up, Lord Duke wants to see you. ”

Hearing the word duke, Winter quickly stood up. I looked around with my eyes open and saw that nothing had changed. I just feel that there are suddenly fewer people in line (to be precise, there are still some backs of people who have left).

"Jones Knight, what's wrong? Where is my father? Winter asked curiously.

"The Duke and they have long since entered the city, and he has seen many people visiting the corpse of the red dragon. It's been canceled, so I'm looking for you now. Jones Knight said with a serious face.

Winter heard the seriousness of the matter from the words of the Jones Knight, and asked with a smile, "Knight, how is my father's mood?

"Oh, oh, very bad. Jones Knight said close to Winter's ear and continued, "I see that you have angered him by collecting the money, so you better go back quickly." ”

"Good. Wen nodded, his mind spinning. He glanced at the bags piled up next to him, gritted his teeth, and said, "Knight, I want you to do me a favor." Send two people to help me bring the money back. ”

The Jones Knight was stunned for a moment, but quickly understood Winter's intentions. With a smile on his face, he said, "I'm going back too, I'll just help you get it." As he spoke, the Jones knight fastened the bag containing the gold coins and placed it on his shoulder.

Seeing that the Jones Knight had already carried the bag, Winter looked at the Jones Knight without saying a word. Jones ignored it and strode towards the castle of Dragonclaw. Winter had to walk behind.

When Winter arrived in the halls of the castle, Frank Rader was sitting on a seat waiting for him. Sweeping to the side, Mrs. Red, Walter Ryder, Haiter Ryder, Master Tom, and Knight Shaw were all standing.

From their faces, Winter reaffirmed his conjecture. The Jones Knight put the bag on the ground and stood beside him, seeing that all the people were silent.

Winter, who had already seen this kind of formation, immediately said with a smile on his face: "Father, you have finally returned. I've been missing you these days. I don't sleep well all day, and I always hope that you will come back soon. ”

Frank said with a gloomy face: "I heard which red dragon are you using to collect money? It's really unthinkable that you have such a ability at such a young age!"

When Winter heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Ah, father, who are you listening to?" As you can see, I didn't take the money. They did it all of their own volition. People say that they were able to destroy the Red Dragon soldiers this time in a desperate battle, and they are willing to donate some money to reward the brave warriors. ”

"Bite the text and chew the words, and the strong words are reasonable. I don't know you yet?" Frank scolded.

When Winter saw that Frank was angry, he knelt down and said, "Father, I can't do anything about it! There's no way I can do it!"

After listening to Winter's explanation, Frank's originally angry heart eased a little. He pointed to the bag next to him and asked, "How much money have you collected these days?"

"Hmm...... About seven or eight thousand. I haven't counted it yet. Winter whispered.

"What are you going to do with the money?"

Hearing his father Frank say this, Winter took the opportunity to say, "It's all raised for the people who participated in this battle." ”

"Well, Tom will take care of that. The money was counted and distributed to the families of the dead soldiers in accordance with regulations. ”

Seeing that Franck's face had improved a little, Knight Brown stepped forward and said, "Duke, there is some truth in what Winter said. It's normal for everyone to have a curiosity about this red dragon. Don't chastise him. ”

When Frank saw that the others were also interceding for Winter, Frank calmed down and said, "Then you will be confined for three months, and you will not be allowed to leave the castle for half a step." ”

When Winter heard that his father had already punished him, he lowered his head and confessed his mistake and said, "Father, I'm really sorry for my mistake this time." I promise I won't make such a mistake again in the future. Doing such a stupid thing. ”

Seeing Winter's performance, Frank, who had wanted to say a few more words, had nothing to say. He sat down in his chair and said, "The dragon egg you found is there." Your brother says you've brought it back. ”

Hearing his father ask him about the whereabouts of the dragon egg, Winter glanced at Haidt, who was standing next to him, patted his head and said, "Oh! You asked me to remember, damn it!"

"What? lost? How could it be?" Frank's eyes widened with rage.

Seeing this, Winter hurriedly apologized and said, "I'm sorry, father. It's all my negligence, punish me!"

"You kid, you know how to fool around. Anything so important can be lost. There was a hint of disappointment in Franck's voice.

Seeing what Frank was about to say, Mrs. Red stood up and said, "Frank, forget it." Winter is still a child, and it is inevitable that he will make some mistakes. Forgive him. ”

Frank looked at the people present, and from their eyes, Frank felt that his punishment was enough, and there was no need to add anything more. Then he said to Winter, who had been kneeling on the ground, "All right, get up, and be careful in your work from now on." Learn more from your older brothers. ”

When Winter heard this, he immediately jumped up and nodded with a smile on his face.

When Frank saw that Winter's business was done, he asked everyone to go back to rest. In the hall only remained, Xiao Hua and Jones two knights.

Haight and Winter returned to the room together, and after closing the door, Winter jumped to the bed. Haight hurriedly sat down next to Winter and whispered, "Why don't you say that the dragon egg is with me?"

"You're stupid! If you say that, your father will definitely leave. Didn't I promise you to give it to you?" said Winter, with his eyes closed.

"But Father has shut you up, if you say the dragon's egg. Maybe your father will cancel your punishment. ”

"I don't think so, my father never changed his mind easily. Timely delivery is also the same. Forget it, you've got what you value the most, isn't it?

Haight's face turned embarrassed when he heard this. Winter sat up abruptly and said, "Haight, you've been staying in the city. I think my father will reward you. If that's the case, you can help me intercede!"

"Yes, yes, but will he forgive you, father?" said Haight, with some doubts.

"I know him best. That's it. ”

"Okay, I promise you, but don't blame me if it doesn't work out in the end. ”

Seeing that Haight had promised himself, Winter lay down again.

At the same time that the two brothers reached a consensus, Frank also made several decisions of his own in the hall. Craft weapons from the corpses of red dragons according to the methods handed down from ancient times.
