Chapter 1 Finding the Dragon Pet
In the early morning, the fiery sun poked out most of its head from the east, and the golden sunlight sprinkled all over the earth, paving the earth with a layer of brilliant gold.
The sunlight shines through the window, shining on the young man's face, rendering a sense of comfort. It's a pity that no matter how good the sunshine is, it can't drive away the young man's heart.
The boy's name is Li Mo, and he was originally born in the Li family, the leading family of the Earth Dragon Kingdom. More than ten years ago, after Li Kun, the pillar of the family and the royal dragon knight, disappeared mysteriously with the elite of the family, the Li family quickly declined. Now, the Li family can only be regarded as an ordinary aristocratic family in the Earth Dragon Kingdom, relying on the family's residual power to survive and steal a living.
Due to the mediocre qualifications of his father and uncle, the burden of revitalizing the family suddenly fell on Li Mo. This burden is very heavy, very heavy, and it makes Li Mo breathless.
"Xiao Mo, the dragon riding ceremony is about to start in a while, aren't you ready yet?"
Outside the door, a clear voice sounded.
"Ready, cousin. Li Mo replied.
Cousin Li Haotian, the elder brother of Uncle Li Mo's family, is 17 years old this year. According to the regulations, if a noble boy still can't find his own dragon pet in the dragon riding ceremony between the ages of fifteen and seventeen, then the noble boy will no longer be eligible to become a dragon knight. Because once a person reaches the age of eighteen and the body bones are developed, they will not have the ability to inherit the dragoon physique.
The Dragon Riding Ceremony, which belongs to the annual event, is a major event for aristocratic teenagers to find dragon pets and complete the coming-of-age ceremony.
Dragon pets are very common, and there is a place in the country called "Infant Dragon Garden" that is specially raised. But this doesn't mean that you go there and pick a random one and it's over, this thing is the same as falling in love, it needs both parties to recognize each other, which is why Li Haotian hasn't found a dragon pet until now, because there is no young dragon who can take a fancy to him.
Although Li Haotian seems to care nothing on the surface, the sadness behind it can be imagined. This matter is about the dignity of the family and the future of Li Haotian. The Li family's prosperity before the decline naturally aroused the envy of countless people. Now that the Li family has declined, there is another mediocrity who is not even a dragon knight, and he will naturally become the laughing stock of countless nobles. And if Li Haotian can't become a dragon knight, then his future achievements will stop there.
Therefore, this dragon riding ceremony is very important for both Li Haotian and the Li family.
Li Mo changed his clothes, pushed open the door and walked out. Li Haotian was already waiting at the door.
"Xiao Mo, don't worry about today's dragon riding ceremony, we still have two years to go anyway. As if seeing Li Mo's nervousness, Li Haotian comforted him. But in fact, it should be him who is really nervous, because this is his last chance.
Other aristocratic teenagers also walked out of their rooms one after another, and at the door, an old man with a red beard was there to answer him, that was Huo Yulin, the dean of the Childish Dragon Garden.
Huo Yulin is a retired dragoon general, so his status is very high. Although those aristocratic teenagers are usually unsightly because of their family relationships. But in front of him, you still have to be honest.
There are three hundred dragon pets in the Earth Dragon Kingdom every year, and these places are all rights enjoyed by the members of the family. Usually there were six dukes, three marquises, two counts, one viscount, and no barons. The dragon pet quota enjoyed by Li Haotian and Li Mo was won by Li Chen, the father of Li Haotian, who was a viscount, and Li Jiang, Li Mo's father.
The three hundred teenagers gathered slowly, especially since these were relatively lazy aristocratic teenagers. It took about ten minutes for the three hundred teenagers to be gathered.
From these more than three hundred figures, Li Mo saw several familiar faces, Luo Yun City of the Luo family and Luo Hongwei of the Luo family. The Luo family and the Luo family were originally affiliated families of the Li family, but since the disappearance of Li Mo's great-grandfather Li Kun, the Luo family and the Luo family began to fall into the ground, frantically grabbing the Li family's cultivation resources. The Li family has declined so quickly, and they also have a large part of the responsibility.
If a powerful noble family's dragon pet quota cannot be used, it can choose to provide a quota for other non-noble families, and the family that obtains the quota is the affiliated family of the family, and they will serve the family they belong to for the rest of their lives.
The original Li family had a big business, and the number of dragon pets couldn't be used at all. As a result, the Li family raised the two subsidiary families of the Luo family and the Luo family.
After Li Haotian and Li Mo arrived, Luo Yuncheng and Luo Hongwei in the crowd glanced at Li Haotian and smiled contemptuously. In their opinion, if Li Haotian hasn't found a dragon pet in this year's dragon riding ceremony, it will be the most interesting thing. Because the family's territory can be expanded. The Dragon City, where the Li family originally lived, is now in a three-legged situation, and once the reputation of the Li family is hit again, then the Luo family and the Luo family of the other two families can reap a lot of benefits from it.
Although the behavior of the Luo family and the Luo family is very despicable, I have to say that they are still developing quite fast.
In addition to these two, Li Mo also saw two other enemies - Xu Fujian and Xu Fugui. Their father, Xu Jiannan, took his place after the disappearance of Li Mo's great-grandfather Li Kun and became the only duke of the Earth Dragon Kingdom.
Seeing Li Mo and the others, the eldest son Xu Fujian did not change his expression, but the second son Xu Fugui looked disdainful. That's right, the current status gap between the Li family and the Xu family is too big.
After everyone arrived, Huo Yulin didn't say much, and led a group of teenagers and girls in the direction of the Childcare Dragon Garden. The distance of the Child's Dragon Garden was not too far, and in less than two minutes, everyone arrived.
As soon as they saw the scale of the Childling Dragon Garden, most of the aristocratic teenagers couldn't help but let out an exclamation. The scale of the Childcare Garden is simply too grand.
The hundred-meter-high wall encloses thousands of acres of land, milky white powder paint is painted on the wall, and all kinds of dragon-shaped murals show teeth and claws on the wall. This is the Infant Dragon Garden of the Earth Dragon Country.
There is only one main gate in the garden, and the brown and yellow wooden gate is more than five meters high. Above the door, a dark gray plaque is printed with three large gilded characters of "Childcare Dragon Garden", which shines dazzlingly in the golden sunlight.
Huo Yulin was a taciturn old man, he didn't explain anything to these noble boys, he just clenched his fists and knocked on the door. With a squeak, the two doors opened half-spinning to both sides.
As soon as the door opened, the aristocratic boys heard the roars of various young dragons coming from inside the door, and it was obvious that the door was well insulated.
At a glance, the colorful young dragons in the Infant Dragon Park dance in the air. Among them, there are also two young dragons flying towards the door. Unfortunately, as soon as they flew to the door, they were bounced back by a transparent light curtain. Helplessly, the two young dragons could only flick their wings twice and fly in other directions.
"You only have three days, and if you don't find the dragon pet after three days, you will lose the opportunity to participate in this year's dragon riding ceremony. For three days, your physiological activities can be solved in the special rest area of the Nursery Garden. Without further ado, let's get moving. ”
As soon as Huo Yulin's words fell, those aristocratic teenagers howled and did not run towards the Infant Dragon Garden, and some of the young dragons by the door were scattered in shock. Li Mo was pushed by the crowd and ran forward for thousands of meters before barely stopping. On the other hand, cousin Li Haotian has long been washed away by the crowd and disappeared
Li Mo didn't rush towards those young dragons as soon as he came up like other aristocratic teenagers, but chose to familiarize himself with the environment in the young dragon garden, especially the location of those rest points. This is Li Haotian's experience of coming here twice.
Those rest spots are actually easy to find, just small wooden white pavilions. The outside of those pavilions was protected by a transparent shield that would block the entry of the young dragons, but if it was a noble boy, it would not be affected.
