Chapter 162: Interlude (4)
A scaly head poked out from under the table and looked at Eren curiously. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing the boy's gaffe, Kuin laughed heartily, "Come here, kid," the mage beckoned to Allen, reassuringly, "Felt won't hurt you." ”
As he spoke, he placed his hand on the head of the animal that was crouching on the bench next to him, and began to gently caress the raised diamond-shaped eye bones in its eyes.
Felt seemed to enjoy his master's caresses so much that he closed his eyes, bowed his head in contentment, and leaned down in his chair, making a soft meow like a cat.
Alan closed his mouth in surprise, but immediately opened it again: "It'...... Is it a dragon?"
The old mage smiled kindly: "Sometimes it also thinks of itself as a dragon, child, but it is just a fire dragon beast, a subdragon species of the genus Crocodile, a close relative of a dragon, with part of the blood of the red dragon, but much smaller than the real red dragon. ”
The animal suddenly opened an eye and glared at the magician.
And Kuin, who saw the other party's performance, immediately changed his words: "Oh...... But...... Actually, they're pretty much the same. ”
With a slight snort, the drake closed its eyes again.
Patting Felt on the head dotingly, Cooin whispered to the boy, "It's smart, it cares what you say about it, you know, it's a very sensitive animal." ”
Alan nodded, but didn't take it to heart.
"Can it breathe fire? I mean...... Aren't all dragons able to breathe fire?"
The boy asked, his eyes full of anticipation, curiosity already filling his heart, and there was no room for anything more.
For any sixteen-year-old boy, even the sight of a dragon's close relatives is exciting.
"Actually, not all dragons can breathe fire," the magician explained good-naturedly, "only the red dragon's breath is fire, well, but Felt does have the blood of a red dragon." ”
"So, it's going to breathe fire?"
"When it's in a bad mood, it may spit out a pillar of fire or two, although it's rarely in a bad mood. I think it's because I overate it, and I spoiled it. You know, kid, it hasn't been out on its own for a whole year, so in many places it lacks the training that a true dragon beast should have, and in fact, I think it's too lazy and shameless. ”
Eren suddenly felt that he no longer had any surprises, if a magician had spoiled such an animal, then what could make him wonder anymore?
It seemed to him that the animal was more like a person now, less mysterious.
The boy looked closely at Felt and couldn't help admiring the scaly body that shone golden in the light of the fire.
Felt was about the size of a beagle, with a slender, curved neck and a short-beaked alligator-like face.
Its wings folded behind its back, and its two paws fluttered slowly in the air aimlessly.
Every time Coug tickled its high, bulging eye bones, its long, curly tail swayed gently back and forth above the floor.
"Thank you for this strange storm that brought us together. ”
Cooin stood up, took an item from the top of the bookshelf and placed it on the table in front of the boy.
It was wrapped in a dark blue velvet cloth, and Alan was sure that what such an expensive cloth was wrapped in must be very valuable.
The magician removed the flannel, revealing a crystal ball.
The boy exclaimed, marveling at the beauty of the crystal ball: it had almost no blemishes, and in the light of the fire, it reflected in its simple shape.
Pointing to the crystal ball, the mage explained, "This is a precious gift, given to me by Master Osfin. He was one of the greatest magicians and a true master of alchemy. ”
"Nothing to do, let's try the magic of this thing, come, look at it, look at the depths of the crystal ball......"
A dreamy voice rang out from the bottom of Alan's heart, and he couldn't raise the slightest vigilance.
The boy in a trance subconsciously adjusted his gaze so that he could see the depths of the crystal ball in this dazzling brilliance.
As the boy watched, the crystal ball lit up as if sensing something, and the whole room was shrouded in brilliant light, and they continued to grow a hundredfold, dancing and merging with each other, they engulfed Allen's eyes as he tried to peek into the depths of the crystal ball, they kept tumbling and blending, and then gradually merged into an endless sea, a violent, converging storm gathered on the surface of the sea, and appeared in the center of the crystal ball under the red firelight with the rough sea.
Alan felt that warm and pleasant light was like a trap that was drawing his gaze firmly into it......
"Master," the ranger bowed, "dinner is ready, and there is no need to wake up the child." ”
"No need," Kuin caressed the crystal ball, "this kind of detector is a very big burden on the user's mental power, let him sleep a little longer." ”
"Yes......"
Hearing the servant's voice, the mage raised his head in confusion, "What are you hesitating about, Balu?"
"Forgive me for taking the liberty of it, master. Baloo asked hesitantly, "What makes you ...... like this Confused?"
"The boy, he saw a sea, the sea of Ririola, and the endless storm. ”
"But what does that mean?"
"You don't understand, Baru," Kuin looked at the crystal ball on the table with a complicated expression, "That kid has divinity, a divinity related to the Ririura Sea!"
"Divinity?" exclaimed the ranger, of course he didn't know what divinity was, "but ...... Isn't Bergasus already dead? Could it be that he is also preparing for his rebirth?"
"He thinks, but he doesn't have that qualifications yet!" Kuin snorted, seeming to disdain the ancient god.
"That'...... That kid ......"
"Belgasus has been dead for too long, after all, and Ririura needs a new master. ”
"You mean...... Ririura has a consciousness of her own, and Eren was chosen by herself?"
Balu felt that all the surprises he had received in the first half of his life were far less than those of this short moment.
"Perhaps, but who cares?"
The mage who got up to go to the dining room suddenly stopped and asked the followers behind him, "By the way, I heard that Truk Collar was attacked by the fishmen?"
"It's said to be a fish-man, but they haven't given an official statement yet. ”
"Alas, what an eventful season......"
PS: Sorry for keeping you waiting, I've been hanging on drips for the past two days, and I don't have much appetite, let alone time and ideas.
The weather is hot, and everyone should pay more attention to food safety when drinking and eating, after all, this season is the peak season for bacteria.
Don't be like me, for five days, every day gruel and fruits, I am about to become a rabbit, but there is no way, now I vomit and diarrhea when I dip some oil and meat, and if I want to eat a lot, I have to wait for my body to fully recover.
Alas, I really envy the good old days when I was cold and unscrupulous.
