On a mountain peak not far away, in the patriarch's cave...

The two serious dragons sat on the stone bench and exchanged their spiritual powers:

"Francis... Do you think this male creature in front of you is reliable? ”

"Lady Zoe, I'm waiting for your judgment."

"Uh... I can't see through him, can you? ”

"I can't either, I always feel like there's something helping him cover up, and he can't see it all..."

...

Ted sat on the cold stone bench in a daze, in front of other people's parents, he was embarrassed to rub oil on Lilia, as a guest, he couldn't take the initiative to provoke the topic, if he didn't say a good word, his image would be degraded!

But in the end, he couldn't help it, and sat idle for two hours, and if he didn't speak, Ted would be driven crazy by the oppressive atmosphere!

He put his right arm on the table and took the lead in breaking the silence: "Two elders, or... Let's talk while eating? ”

Francis sat upright, slowly opened his eyes, and responded in his quaint and majestic voice: "Well, let's talk while eating..."

Over the years, the clansmen have used the spiritual link technique to tell the dragon version of meat jokes all the time, and now, as the head of the clan, he is afraid that he will say something tiger and wolf in the next second to ruin the atmosphere.

Especially in the presence of the youngest member of the family, he has to pay more attention to his words!

I don't know if it's a hallucination, Ted felt the atmosphere around him ease, so he dared to relax his body and raised his hand to conjure up a pile of food and put it on the table.

Compared to the table of food just now, the food on this table is more sumptuous and more exaggerated.

Even the simplest dish, braised pork ribs, was shaved off by Makarov and replaced with potatoes!

"It's... Ahem! "Tens of millions of years have passed, and dragons have either eaten raw meat or roasted meat.

And now, there is such a table of dishes in front of you, and any dragon will be surprised!

It's just that they are the oldest and have the most experience, and they just wander for a few seconds before returning to their original serious appearance.

Just when Ted thought that the 'Food Method' was out of play, Francis spoke...

"Years ago, we dragons were indeed a proud species, and we didn't accept anyone if we said were, but... Our time has passed, and we should accept more new things, new races..."

As he spoke, he picked up the cutlery with a blank face and raised his hand to move to a plump roast chicken...

Just as Francis touched the food with his fork, there was a "pop...", and Zoe stopped him with a knife.

"The first bite has to be given to your wife, this is the rule you set, isn't it?"

Francis nodded, reluctantly withdrew his right hand, closed his right eye, and waited for his wife to eat first.

This rule was set tens of millions of years ago, and at that time, there was no shortage of food, so it didn't matter who ate first, but now... It's hard to put into words.

So instead of closing his left eye, he used it to keep an eye on the roast chicken...

When his hand returned to the table, Zoe found that her husband had closed his eyes, and then threw away the cutlery in his hand and grabbed the whole roast chicken with his paws! Open your mouth and prepare to swallow!

"Huh! Say a good bite! Why are you opening your mouth so wide! Francis panicked, he had been keeping an eye on this chicken from the very beginning, if he didn't eat it at all, he would not be able to sleep well for the next million years!

"I'll just take one bite! Let me take a bite! Zoe took the roast chicken in her hand and shoved it into her mouth with all her might, but Francis blocked it with both hands, and she couldn't put the chicken in her mouth.

The originally harmonious and serious atmosphere has become a hilarious comic scene just because of a dispute over the ownership of a chicken.

"You're gone with that bite!" Francis clenched Zoe's left hand in tears, ready to eat the chicken first, but Zoe's right hand tightly covered Francis's face and pushed him away with all her might...

"What? You set a rule, and now you have to go back on it? Are you still the patriarch? Shame on you!? ”

"At least... Leave me a chicken leg! "Francis used all his strength to even stick his tongue out in an attempt to lick the roast chicken with it!

As a female dragon, Zoe is not as strong as a male dragon of the same magnitude, so this time she used her feet! At the same time, she didn't care about any marital affection, and yelled: "The chicken butt won't be given to you!" ”

...

In this situation, Lilia could only shake her head helplessly, picked up chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised pork from the table and put it in her mouth, and then turned her head to look at Ted beside her.

Ted was helpless, he could only shrug his shoulders to express embarrassment, he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, he could only pretend to sit calmly in place, and little by little the vegetables were delivered to his mouth...

In the end, after a five-minute tug-of-war, the two in front of them compromised!

Francis got the cock ass, but only half...

After that, everyone was eating in harmony without saying a word, Ted wanted to talk, but was stopped by Lilia, judging by the hints of her facial expressions, it was best not to disturb the second elder to eat...

At first, they ate with a knife, fork or spoon, but when they found that they had enough strength to pick up the whole pork knuckle with chopsticks, they gave up the knife and fork...

Pick it up directly with chopsticks, throw it in your mouth and chew.

Regardless of whether this pork knuckle has bones or not, they don't mind, with a mouthful of teeth that are harder than Erdman's alloy, the bones are chewed into a crispy chicken cutlet!

After a few minutes, the two of them seemed to figure it out, and in order to speed up the meal, they threw away the dishes, picked up the plates and put them directly in their mouths, licked the food off with their tongues like they ate scallops, and then piled the plates aside.

Next, it was the two dragons racing against time to fight for the rice competition, and Ted and Lilia put down the dishes and sat on the stool to watch the two dragons intrigue.

They looked at each other, using their hands and feet together, plus a nimble tail, and while maintaining grace, they allowed themselves to eat as much as possible, and by the way, stopped each other from eating.

If this meal ruined the dragon couple's thousand-year-long marriage, Ted would probably be depressed for decades.

"Hey..."

...

Inadvertently, he saw the plates stacked aside...

For humans, the dishes that have been licked by the ice dragon do not need to be washed at all, because the bodily fluids secreted by the ice dragon are... Mountain spring water.

When they first learned about this, everyone was shocked, some felt disgusted, and some lowered their heads in thought.

But in the end, they all accepted this fact.

Their sweat and urine, and even their saliva, are either put into the lab for testing or drunk to taste it.

The results are exactly the same as the mountain spring water left on the northern icebergs, and the minerals contained in it can also effectively replenish the missing trace elements...

This is also one of the reasons why the people of the North are strong, even if they didn't have so much food to eat hundreds of years ago, and they were so thin that they didn't have a few taels of flesh on their bodies, their bones were still strong.

The other is the solid excrement of the ice dragon, in general, it is a non-radioactive metal alloy on the periodic table, although the amount emitted is not large, but it is better than sustainable development!

As long as the dragons were well fed and fed, humans were able to harvest precious metals, iron and copper, and lead were common in these days, and other precious metal elements were mostly associated minerals in iron ore.

The existing means of removing impurities and purifying are basically useless, and they can only be used with low-end alloys first.

Elsewhere in the empire, the tableware used by the aristocracy was mostly iron-lead alloys, so it didn't take long for them to become stupid and die young.

Ted, on the other hand, has always used wooden disposable cutlery, which is thrown into the stove and burned after eating, which is healthier in the eyes of his ancestors!

At the same time, the chefs in the north are poor, and the winters are long, which has led to a strange tradition that they use ice blades as kitchen knives, so Ted is less likely to come into contact with lead metal.

In a way, poverty can be regarded as the achievement of Ted...

...

After 8 minutes, the four of them ate everything in front of them.

It was at this time that everyone began to talk.

Francis pretended to wipe his mouth calmly, and looked up at the human in front of him: "Who is that, I don't know what your name is?" ”

"Uh... My name is Ted, and I'm a lord of the human forces, and I'm currently in the north, not far from here~"

"Oh~ I remember, there is indeed such a force on our territory, but... Are you paying your rent on time? ”

Ted shook his head, took out four cups, filled them with Coke, and slowly passed them in front of them.

"I think, you also know, we humans don't have a long lifespan like you, and the agreement made by the ancestors is difficult to pass down to 10,000 years later, so I don't know the previous lease."

"You... Is this an attempt to break the contract? Francis squinted at Ted, as if to test his mindset and coping skills.

"Breaking the contract? You joked, although I don't know what kind of agreement the ancestors made, but if you can tell me the content, I am willing to make corresponding compensation, including interest. ”

"Of course, I believe you, after all, you have lived for hundreds of millions of years, and you will definitely not make fun of me as a 16-year-old boy."

Ted didn't treat Francis as an outsider, but looked at Francis in front of him more like an old man who wanted to marry Lilia home and want to please.

According to the information learned so far, everything about the dragon should be decided by the patriarch, and Lilia's parents have no right to interfere too much.

In other words, if you get the people in front of you, not only will you and Lilia not have problems, but the problem of the land will also be solved.

"Are you sure you can afford it?"

"If you can't afford it, you have to pay it, and the debts owed by my ancestors must be repaid. Besides, I have a habit of not wanting to leave the mess to future generations to deal with, so! Mention the conditions, while I am alive. ”

Francis took a sip of the Coke and was quickly drawn to the sweet and airy thing.

"Ahem... Young man, as I said earlier, the era of dragons is over, and now it is the world of you small intelligent creatures, even if I make more requests, it will be a drop in the bucket for our entire race, and even if you can do it, you can't do it in the long run..."

The patriarch's words are indeed reasonable, no matter how much interest is paid, no matter how big the price is, it is not enough for the entire clan to survive for a long time.

"In that case, let me say first, you can mentally balance the conditions and the chips..."Ted took out another jar, filled it to Francis, and made a gesture of please.
