Chapter 423: A Tale of the Dragon and the Wolf
Perhaps because of their very similar identities in a sense, Herlan and Selman, two "humans" with special identities, quickly became interested in each other, and after discovering each other's true identities and secrets, the two of them felt a bit of "meeting confidants on the road", and soon embarked on an adventure together.

The continental version of Jarles Wolf and spices is staged, and of course, the actor is not so wasted. There are a series of specific details about this pair of young men and women who have been walking together for a long time, secretly tasting the forbidden fruit and eating the marrow, etc., even if you don't go into details, probably everyone can make up a love light comedy, in terms of conclusion, the two people who fell in love (or in fact, it should be said that a dragon and a wolf) had a little accident in various senses for one reason or another...... So soon, the news of the little gray wind descending on Helan's stomach fell on the heads of the two people who were not ready to become parents without warning.
If only the two of them knew the news at that time, it might be fine, but unfortunately the two of them were really unlucky, when this matter was poked out, the two of them were guests in the manor of the mainland by a Dragon Island elder who was temporarily stationed on the mainland for purchasing affairs.
Although the dragon clan is strong, it has not reached the point where all the daily necessities can be conjured out of thin air, so although the dragon clan has lived on the dragon island in the outer sea for a long time, in fact, they have always maintained contact with the mainland in private, and the dragon clan who is responsible for these procurement affairs is generally an important person who has a very high status in the clan and can directly talk to the patriarch.
Therefore, after Selman, the future young master of the Red Dragon Clan, went out to play around, he quietly and directly brought back a future young lady and a little young master to the Red Dragon Clan, and the matter was known to Selman's father, the Red Dragon Patriarch at that time, before the parties were mentally prepared.
As a family with the habit of wandering alone all year round, the dragon clan actually does not have too many constraints on this aspect of things, after all, there is more than one dragon in private life, many adult dragons will continue to play on the mainland when playing with the opposite sex of other races after forming a couple, this is especially in the male dragon clan, polygamy is not uncommon within the dragon clan.
Therefore, the red dragon patriarch at that time didn't say anything at first after knowing about Selman and Herlan, after all, his son was also a male dragon clan, and he was also the future patriarch of the red dragon clan, so it was not a problem to bring home a few more favorite females or something.
However, things went wrong with Selman's attitude towards Heran. Thelman really loves Heran, he wants to make Heran his wife, and he doesn't even plan to contact anyone of the opposite sex outside of Heran, including those dragon females on Dragon Island, he wants to make Heran his unique wife.
This really violated Selman's father's bottom line, as the future red dragon patriarch, it is nothing to be devoted to his wife, but the problem is that this only wife is actually a person other than the dragon clan, and even a humanoid demonic beast, is the next generation of red dragon patriarch still a hybrid born of a dragon and a demonic beast?
Selman's father tried to persuade Selman to change his mind, and even gave in to the point that he could even marry Herlan as his wife if he agreed to marry another dragon woman at the same time and give birth to a pure-blooded red dragon heir.
From this point of view, Selman really didn't feel sorry for Herlan and Grey Wind at all, he firmly rejected his father from beginning to end, and made it clear that he only loved Herlan alone, and was only willing to form a family with her and raise children that belonged only to the two of them.
Seeing that his son was so inadequate, the Red Dragon Patriarch's patience finally reached the limit, and he instructed his Red Dragon to go to the mainland, and then use the simplest and most brutal means to solve this matter.
Four or five adult red dragons blocked Selman and Heran in the wilderness, and gave them three choices: first, Selman agreed to the patriarch's condition to marry a female dragon who was good in all aspects that the patriarch chose for him as his wife, so that Heran could also become the future patriarch's spouse as a side chamber and stay by Selman's side as a legal identity; second, the patriarch would not force Selman to marry the dragon girl, but he had to take the initiative to clear up the relationship with Helan himself, and then return to Dragon Island with them, as for the child in Helan's belly, Dragon Island could help the mother and son in private, but would never recognize the legal status of the child; third, they went to war directly, take Selman away, and by the way, knock out the child in Helan's belly, and the two will no longer be allowed to meet again, once they find out, the next time is to kill Helan directly.
Obviously, there was only one choice for Selman. He and Heran were still relatively young at that time and had not reached the peak of their strength, and in normal times, the two of them could only barely deal with the siege of the three adult red dragons when they joined forces, not to mention that now that Helan was still pregnant, his strength could not be fully exerted......
So, under Herlan's sad gaze, the young Selman gritted his teeth and made a choice, saying that he would no longer maintain a relationship with Herlan and would immediately set off for Dragon Island. And Herlan, despite knowing that this was their only option, ...... This doesn't mean that she will really say things like the White Lotus heroine in those stories with tears and sadness, "I understand you, I don't blame you".
After Selman made his choice, Herlan just left the child without worrying about Dragon Island and she would be responsible for herself, and immediately left there, returning to the Warcraft Forest with an unborn child and a devastated body and mind, and gave birth to Grey Wind alone under the care of the old tree, and then never mentioned Selman's affairs in front of Grey Wind, raised her alone, and later adopted Cheruth.
And Selman, it is true that he has not appeared in front of Herlan and Grey Wind again for decades. As his father, the Red Dragon Patriarch's ban on him in this regard is naturally a very important point, and the other reason is that the forced choice of one of the three choices that were surrounded in the wilderness back then had a great impact on him, who was originally a little weak in strength cultivation...... He hated his incompetence, he didn't want to repeat the same mistakes, and the next time he reunited with Herlan and the children he had never met, he had to be the man who could protect them no matter what the circumstances.
As a result, Thelman never left his home on Dragon Island for decades back on Dragon Island, nor did he respond to his father's attempts to match him with other young female Red Dragons, and the only thing Thelman was doing for decades was to seriously practice martial arts, study magic, and improve his strength step by step.
Of course, as the patriarch and the strongest of the Red Dragon Clan, Selman's father would naturally not be surpassed by his own son so easily, but in the past few decades, his own son's sixth-order peak strength had quickly broken through from the half-baked sixth-order peak strength that had not even penetrated the law barrier to the seventh-order high-level at the same level as himself, and the Red Dragon Patriarch finally knew that he might really misestimate his child's friendship with the humanoid demon wolf back then.
This father-son cold war continues, and the final outcome can only be that Selman challenges himself until he defeats himself and becomes the patriarch in advance, and then he does not hesitate to cause a great turmoil in the clan for this matter and also take the demon wolf and her child back, thinking of this, Selman's father finally compromised.
He abdicated early, making Selman the patriarch, and releasing the ban on the relationship between Selman and Heran, which had been in place since then. But he also made a deal with Selman.
Selman can go to Herlan and her child to confirm whether the demon wolf is still in love with him and waiting for him, if the other party has given up this relationship, he must immediately return to Dragon Island to truly take all the responsibilities he deserves, and if the other party still maintains this relationship, and he decides to continue, then no matter how strong the half-breed child is, he will not recognize the successor of the Red Dragon Clan, and he, the father and former patriarch, will start to select the best qualified righteous grandson among the young dragons of the next generation from that time and cultivate it well, so that the child will become the next Red Dragon Patriarch。
Selman naturally readily agreed, he believed that Herlan would not forget their relationship, and perhaps because his father used the identity of the heir of the Red Dragon Clan to force his relationship, he was not enthusiastic or concerned about whether he could inherit the Red Dragon Clan, and after his father lifted the ban, Selman almost immediately set off from Dragon Island, returned to the continent of Areth and rushed all the way towards the Warcraft Forest.
What he didn't expect was that when he came to the vicinity of the Warcraft Forest, he immediately heard about the recent series of events in the Warcraft Forest. And after he arrived at the adventurer's town, he met Chelus and them directly and coincidentally without preparation, because he felt the faint and familiar dragon power fluctuations emanating from Gray Wind and the inexplicable sense of blood connection, so he followed them all the way, and finally confirmed that Gray Wind was his daughter.
“...... I can't see that you're so single-minded, uncle. ”
Listening to Selman's entire story, Chelus let out an inexplicable sigh of relief after listening to the gossip, and teased Selman.
Selman, on the other hand, gave her an angry look.
"'Can't see' is redundant......"
Cheruth smiled silently, genuinely happy for Herlan and Greywind. Originally, Herlan never mentioned the matter of Grey Wind's biological father in front of Grey Wind, and Chelus always thought that Herlan's emotional experience back then must have been some unknown pain and ups and downs, but now it seems that it may not be as serious as she imagined.
In that situation, Heran must have been able to understand Selman, although understanding does not mean forgiveness - Helan has not mentioned Selman for so many years is obviously evidence - but at least this is an opportunity for the relationship between the two to be re-established, isn't it? Judging from what Selman said, this red-haired uncle really loves Aunt Heran, and it must be a very happy thing for Sister Gray Wind to have such a father.
Uh-huh...... So is she going to give Selman a hand?
-----
--
After being open and honest, both Celoth and Selman have a new understanding of each other's true identities, and they are finally able to let go of most of the doubts in their hearts and truly treat each other as their own people who can be relied on.
The situation is still not optimistic, although I don't know why the Nolan and the monsters didn't chase them as desperately as before this time, but according to Cheruth's judgment of the surrounding terrain, they have unconsciously penetrated deep into the middle of the forest, and it is probably more than twice as difficult to break through from here all the way to the outskirts of the forest than it was to break through from the inconspicuous shallows on the outskirts of the forest before.
However, Cheruth didn't want to break through immediately as much as she did before. Before, she only thought that there was some chaos in the communication and management of the various races in the forest, although it seemed that the situation was very dangerous, but in fact it would not affect Helan and Grandpa Old Tree, who were absolutely powerful in the forest, but after knowing that Gurney and their Nolan clan appeared here, the strings in Cheruth's head immediately tightened.
Although in the case of a head-on battle, even the Nolan clan could not curry favor with such powerful monsters as Herlan and them, but the problem is that after so many years of understanding, Cheruth knows very well that those of her own clan will rarely use the means of head-to-head duels in the general sense due to their various strange laws and abilities and relatively weak flesh, and instead prefer some unexpected calculations and conspiracies to achieve their goals, and the conspiracy is obviously unguardable.
Therefore, the wolf girl, who had only planned to return to the adventurer's town and take a long-term plan, was now desperate to rush to the middle of the forest immediately to personally confirm the safety of Helan and them.
With her experience and home advantage that is not known to her opponents, and a big master like Selman who hides her strength, plus Selman accidentally chose such a path deep into the forest when she broke through with her injured before, as long as the two of them cooperate tacitly and carefully, it is not very difficult to sneak into the depths of the forest to find Herlan's residence.
However, after Cheruth made this decision in her heart, the first thing she had to think about was not how to deceive the various pursuers who were about to appear in front of her, but how to explain to her wolf sister that she was going to take risks without keeping the agreement.
