Chapter 422: Selman's True Identity
Truth be told, after learning about Cheruth's Nolan identity, apart from the initial unexpected surprise, Selman immediately felt worried. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After seeing the scene of the Nolan people in the previous battle commanding the transformed demonic beasts to besiege the two of them together, as long as they are not stupid, they can almost see that the manic and smoky miasma of the beasts in the Warcraft Forest at the moment must be inseparable from those Nolan people who are obviously from outside the forest. And the girl in front of her, who was adopted by Herlan as her daughter and regarded by Gray Wind as her own sister, was actually a Nolan who was so deeply hidden, which couldn't help but make Selman immediately instinctively have some suspicions about Cheruth.
But fortunately, in the past few days, Selman, who has been observing the relationship between Cheruth and Grey Wind, can also feel that the sisterhood between the two is not completely sincere, so although Selman is a little suspicious of Cheruth, he does not go too far in a worse direction, and simply hopes that Cheruth can explain everything.
And Cheruth's subsequent explanation is indeed reasonable: after the extermination, he was adopted by Herlan since he was a child, although he knew from Herlan that he was the origin of the Nolan clan, but he had never been in contact with other Nolan people before he went out of the forest adventure, and after he walked out of the forest, he did not approve of the desperate approach of the Nolan clan for revenge, and even had several conflicts with the Nolan clan when the other party did not know his identity. It's the same this time, originally just because he knew that something more serious was going on in the Warcraft Forest, he was worried that Helan came back with Gray Wind to take a look, but he didn't expect to meet those fellow clans here who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic...... It's annoying.
"They really don't know who you are?"
Selman looked at Cheruth, who looked full of resentment when talking about the Nolan people, and couldn't help but ask a little strangely. He could see that in the previous battle, those Nolan people really didn't have any mercy for Cheruth, and they were completely killed, especially the black-haired young man he met when he went to save Cheruth later, and the killing intent that the young man showed for Cheruth was completely at the level of a life-and-death enemy.
"No, one of them knows my identity, but I asked her to help me hide the truth and not tell anyone else about it, on the condition that I secretly help them do what they want," said Chelus, her face slightly sank, "It's just that half a year ago, because something happened, there were some trust problems between us, and that agreement was ...... It's been unilaterally annulled by me, but it seems that the man has kept what he promised me, and he hasn't told the rest of the Nolan clan until now. β
It was the first time that Selman had seen this wolf girl with a mischievous smile all the time showing such a gloomy expression full of negative energy, although he was very curious about what happened between Cheruth and the person she was talking about half a year ago, but he also chose to skip this topic with great eyes.
"But why don't you want your people to know about your existence? Even though you said that you don't want to take revenge with them and want to live your old life well, even if they know about your existence, as long as you don't want to, you can ignore them, and that's okay...... Uh, avoid some unnecessary hassles. β
Cheruth gave Selman an angry look.
"If I don't want to, it won't happen? Then there are more things I don't want to do, isn't it all happening, and the best way to avoid trouble is to simply not have anything to do with the source of trouble." β
β...... But aren't you all involved......"
β..................β
Soul faint can't refute......
"Anyway, in short, I have my thoughts!Uncle, if you have the opportunity to really deal with my fellow clansmen, you will be clear, except for the person I said before who knows my identity, almost all of the Nolan clans I met are a group of guys who have been staying in the second year of secondary school and have not graduated, although I understand the motives and feelings of wanting revenge as a Nolan, but the problem is that I really don't agree with their kind of practice of being desperate or even casual to involve innocent people in order to get revenge. β
With that, Cheruth shook her head.
"It may sound strange to you, uncle, but I don't know why, the more I know about the things that my fellow people have been planning and working hard for revenge for more than ten years, the more I feel...... It seems that there is indeed a difference between me and their perception of revenge...... Probably because I was too young at the time of that incident, and then I lived in the Warcraft Forest completely out of touch with human society for twelve years, so I don't have such a deep sense of belonging to the name Nolan as my fellow people. β
Selman didn't reply immediately, perhaps not knowing what to do. Raising his hand and scratching the back of his head, Selman asked coldly.
"Then, don't you want to avenge your biological parents?"
"Biological parents, ......"
Cheruth narrowed her eyes, her mind racing, but in the end, only two vague human figures came to mind.
Fifteen years have passed...... I don't remember exactly what my biological parents looked like.
"To be honest, I don't know ...... either"
Feeling that her injuries were almost recovering, Cheruth stopped the life-based regeneration magic that had been working, and pretended to look down to check the injuries to hide her confusion.
β...... Maybe if I have the chance, I'll find out the truth about that incident and then make a decision...... But for me now, although I am grateful to my biological parents who brought me into this world, I ...... Aunt Heran is also my most important mother. β
After a moment of silence, Cheruth, with her head down, suddenly felt a hand on top of her head.
"She'd be glad to hear what you just said, Cheruth. β
Syllable!
Selman grinned in surprise and withdrew his hand, looking at Cheruth who was looking at him with an unhappy expression.
The wolf girl bared her teeth at Selman.
"It's just because I'm afraid that Sister Gray Wind is worried that it will be inconvenient for me to talk to them, so I will ask you to spit out my bitterness, who allows you to pretend to be an elder?"
Especially for a moment, she really felt like a father from this guy...... It's really infuriating.
"Okay, I'm done with the topic, uncle, you should be honest, right? A red dragon actually pretended to be a human and infiltrated our team and pretended to explore with us? Uncle, what are your intentions!"
Hearing Cheruth's straightforward question, Selman couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Whoa...... I thought it wouldn't be exposed. β
"Indeed, so far, you haven't shown any obvious flaws, uncle," said Cheruth, with a mischievous look in her eyes, "If I had never felt the dragon power that naturally emanated from Sister Grey Wind when her bloodline awakened, I might still be kept in the dark by you, uncle." β
"Ahaha...... So, you've already guessed who I am?"
"I basically guessed it, but if you don't admit it, uncle, I can't be finalized. β
With that, Chelus laughed wickedly at Selman.
"After all, Aunt Herlan never told me that Sister Grey Wind's biological father was a red dragon, if it weren't for the unconcealable dragon power after Sister Grey Wind's bloodline awakened, maybe Sister Grey Wind wouldn't know anything about her biological father until now. β
Selman's face suddenly looked a little embarrassed.
"Uh, uh...... Yes, yes, Herlan never mentioned it...... Did you mention anything about me?"
Cheruth's eyes lit up.
"Oh oh, so uncle, you admit it?"
β...... You've got it all said and done, so it's okay if you don't admit it, right?" Selman spread his hands helplessly, "That's right, as you think, I'm Greywind's father...... Introduce yourself again, the current patriarch of the Red Dragons, Selman Salamanda. β
"The ...... of the Red Dragons"
Chess, who wanted to force Selman to admit her identity and gain the upper hand, couldn't help but gasp.
Now, now the current patriarch?!
Hey, hey, the current patriarch of the Red Dragon Clan?, this uncle who usually looks lazy and lazy and handsome for a month?
Seeing Cheruth's stunned appearance, Selman also seemed to know that his counterattack was quite good, and he looked a little proud.
Hmph, what a little girl, I can't see it, uncle, I'm the patriarch of the Red Dragon Clan, it's amazing, worship it, baa hahaha-ha-
"Wow! you bad guy!"
"Ahh
Selman looked bewildered as he pointed at Cheruth who was pointing at him with righteous indignation.
"I didn't expect it, uncle, you are such a person!"
"Uh, wait, girl, what's wrong with me?"
"Isn't it clear!" "The expression on Cheruth's face was as unacceptable as watching a favorite TV series and finding out that the ending was unexpectedly bloody, "Obviously the head of the dragon clan, but he let Aunt Helan, who is a top magical beast, conceive a child, and then left Aunt Helan and Sister Gray Wind alone in the forest for decades without paying attention...... No wonder Aunt Heran has always refused to tell us who Sister Grey Wind's father is, you must have lied to Aunt Heran back then, right! As the patriarch of the dragon clan, you must have already had a female dragon as a wife, but you pretended to be single outside and deceived the feelings of Aunt Herlan, who was still very kind and simple at that time, as a result, seeing that Aunt Heran had a child, you who were worried that this would become your own black history as a patriarch immediately abandoned the poor mother and daughter irresponsible, you-"
"Hey, hey, wait, wait, you can't talk nonsense!"
Listening to Cillus's brain making up more and more vigorously there, the content became more and more excessive, although from the scowning look in his eyes that flashed like a little devil, Selman could see that Cerrus was mistreating himself, but he still hurriedly spoke up and stopped Cerrus from continuing to shape himself into a battle scum in a scum.
He knows how much Gray Wind spoils this little girl, and when this ghost girl talks nonsense to herself in front of Gray Wind, it will be miserable.
"You misunderstood, I didn't abandon Herlan and Grey Wind and their mother and daughter, and I don't have any female dragon wife, I have only loved Herlan and her in my life......"
Speaking of this, Selman suddenly realized what he was talking about to the little demon in front of him, and couldn't help but blush.
"Oh~~~"
Cheruth looked at Thelman with a smile as if she had heard something good.
"Well, uncle is good, I can see that the confession just now is sincere, but I don't know if Aunt Helan will accept it, after all, from the point that Aunt Helan never told us about you, Aunt Helan must have been very dissatisfied with you all along. β
"Uh......"
Selman looked bitter again, apparently well aware of this after hearing that Herlan never spoke of his father in front of his children.
β...... No way, back then...... Although there was a misunderstanding, I was sorry for her after all......"
Muttering like this, Selman seemed to be caught up in the memories of the year, but he didn't notice at all that just when he said "there was a misunderstanding", the wolf girl's eyes lit up in front of him.
"Oops~ It turns out that there is a misunderstanding, well, this is indeed worth eight-cough cough is worth combing carefully, uncle, if you say it, maybe I will help you solve this misunderstanding~ You must know that both Sister Gray Wind and Aunt Helan love me very much~"

The affair between Selman and Herlan is also a very bloody story.
The dragon clan in the world of the continent of Arrès is very similar to the dragon clan setting in the western fantasy worldview that Chelus saw on the earth in her previous life, the strongest phantom beast species, with strong physical strength and mysterious dragon magic inheritance, arrogant personality, strong individual strength but because of the birth defects in fertility and reproduction because of the scarcity of the number of races.
Once, in the ancient mythological era, the dragon clan responded to the call of the gods, and as the most powerful combat force in the continental alliance, it was active in the battlefield of gods and demons, and contributed considerable strength to the struggle of mainland creatures against demons. However, correspondingly, in that war in which even the gods were destroyed, the casualty rate of the dragons, as a powerful race that would always take on the most dangerous demon army because of their own strength, was also shocking.
After the war, the number of the ancient dragon clan even shrank to one-tenth of the original at once, and in addition to the older generation of dragons who were really strong enough to survive the cruel war, there were only some young dragons left who were almost just born and waiting to be fed.
So, after the end of the war of gods and demons, after a short period of post-war peace on the mainland, the wise old dragons of the dragon clan were keenly aware of the ambitions and contradictions of the various races that had been brewing under the long-term peaceful prosperity on the continentγ
Because of the unique arrogance and self-esteem of the dragon clan, although the dragon clan is powerful, they have very few, or disdainful of intervening in the disputes of the various races on the continent. However, this does not mean that the dragon clan has really become an isolated hermit clan, in fact, many dragon clans will transform into human form on a whim or simply maintain the dragon form to the mainland after a few decades or hundreds of years in the dragon island nest, and wander around as they like.
This is the case of Selman, who was the only son of the current Red Dragon Clan for the first time to leave Dragon Island and travel to the mainland alone, just in time to meet Helan, who was also in human form and walked out of the Warcraft Forest for the first time to venture out of human society.
