"Travelers from afar, I've been waiting for you here for a long time."

The blonde boy suppressed his excitement and shouted in Ron's direction with a calm expression.

The boy didn't look very old, but he seemed very confident and independent.

He wore an ordinary linen-colored coat, short black hair with a thin braid, and a few small blisters the size of a grain of rice on his forehead.

The most striking thing is his eyes.

It was a pair of azure blue eyes like the sea, and there seemed to be infinite possibilities in them.

"Go, go, don't get in the way, and get entangled."

The old coachman, Pon Weasley, wielded a self-defense whip in an attempt to scare the daring child away.

Although the mages in the car were very kind all the way, there was no arrogant performance.

But, in case the kid in front of him angers these terrifying beings who have mastered magic.

The old coachman was sure that nothing would come of it.

Most of the drivers in the same year as themselves have been "compulsorily" retired, and many of them have never come back because they have not been able to keep their mouths.

"Wait a minute!"

Tina suddenly jumped out of the car and stopped the driver from blurting out the words.

"Wait? We? ”

She turned to approach the blonde boy and half-crouched down to look at him curiously.

"Did you know Tina was going to be here?"

"Of course."

The blonde boy nodded confidently, but his eyes were focused on the moment at the car door.

To be precise, he was looking at the iridescent dragon in Moment's arms.

"How do you know? Tina didn't tell anyone else to come here, did she? ”

Tina's eyes were filled with curiosity, and she asked.

The blonde boy turned his head and said with a look of course:

"Of course it's a prophecy, don't you know such a simple thing?"

"Prophecy?"

Everyone looked dazed, not knowing what the kid was talking about.

"Really, these people, can they really help me?"

Seeing that no one understood what he meant, the blonde boy began to talk to himself with some uneasiness.

After all, for this big event, he started preparing half a year ago.

"What is prophecy? Can you explain? ”

Tina asked curiously.

"A prophecy is a prophecy, not a thing."

The blonde boy frowned and explained.

Facing everyone's bewildered gaze, he thought for a moment and added:

"I've been waiting for you here since two weeks ago."

After speaking, he also added with some complaints: "You guys are walking so slowly,." ”

Raya frowned and thought:

"Two weeks ago? Isn't that the time we just set off? ”

Fran, who was standing on the side, also nodded:

"In terms of time, it's about the same time."

Hearing this, Tina seemed to have found a novel toy.

She looked at the human boy in front of her and said with excitement on her face:

"So, you really knew about our itinerary in advance?"

"Of course."

The blonde boy nodded in acknowledgement without hesitation.

"Can you give me a prophecy? For example, Tina's future title or something? ”

Tina had a look of anticipation in her eyes, a bit of the feeling of sneaking in to see the decryption before playing the puzzle game.

"Yes, yes."

The blonde boy said with some hesitation.

"But not now."

"Huh? Why? ”

Tina asked curiously.

"Because I haven't been able to get sick lately."

"Sick?"

Jin Longniang was a little puzzled, this word didn't seem to have anything to do with prophecy.

But the blonde boy was clearly not prepared to explain too much.

He turned sideways and pointed in the direction of the smoke in the distance:

"Would you like to taste my milk and bread?"

The boy turned his head and said with a serious face:

"I promise it's fresh, and in return, you can also take a portion of it as food for the road."

"Oh?!"

Hearing that there was fresh food, Raya and Fran's eyes lit up.

They have eaten dry jerky and hard bread soaked in water for the past few days, and they have eaten enough.

Imagine a sumptuous dinner in a hostel, with a variety of delicious dishes filling the table

She was already salivating and couldn't wait to taste the fresh food.

Especially the thought that they don't have to sleep in the carriage at night, but the soft hotel bed, makes Raya and Fran even more excited.

The long journey by car made these two girls who went out for the first time very tired, both physically and mentally.

They need a little soothing and relaxation.

Food and a comfortable resting environment are undoubtedly good medicine.

Of course, it would be even better if there was a bard who happened to be playing and singing a shamisen poem in the inn~~

"Amount"

Although Tina was very excited, she still looked back in Ron's direction with some hesitation.

After experiencing the incident of the Green Dragon Queen, Tina now subconsciously asks Ron's opinion when making decisions.

"Go ahead, just enough to resupply there, right?"

Unexpectedly, Ron nodded in agreement with the suggestion to change the route temporarily.

He glanced meaningfully at the blonde boy, then coiled his entire body with his slender dragon tail, and lay down in the warm arms of the moment to close his eyes and recuperate.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Tina crossed her waist with one hand, pointed to the distance with her right hand, and said majestically:

"Good! Then we'll go."

Halfway through speaking, Tina suddenly stopped.

She looked at the blonde boy and scratched her head with some embarrassment:

"Well, what's your name?"

After chatting for a long time, I still don't know people's names, which is a bit outrageous.

"My name is Richard, and I'm in front of Horse Racing Town."

The blonde boy gave a brief introduction.

"Oh, okay."

Tina nodded politely, then swung back to the POSS she had just made, pointing in the direction where the smoke was rising:

"Then let's go to Horse Racing Town and have some food and water by the way."

"Yay!"

Raya and Fran clapped their hands in agreement, excitedly agreeing.

Pong Weasley, the driver, sighed, patted the dragon on the back, and began to prepare for the drive.

He was confused by the sudden appearance of the town and the temporary change of course.

But the employer's decision is everything, he just needs to carry it out.

The crowd returned to the carriage, and the blonde boy Richard sat down next to Pong Weasley and showed him the way.

"So, let's go!"

"Shhhh

Greet the glow of the sunset

The earth dragon roared softly, pulled the heavy carriage, and embarked on the journey again.

————————

Under Richard's guidance, the dragon cart galloped quickly across the silent plains.

As we get closer to the town of Horse Racing, the scenery along the way becomes more pleasant.

The red earth is gradually covered with normal, yellow soil suitable for planting.

The mountains in the distance are verdant, and the birds in the forest chirp from time to time.

Everyone felt the relaxation and tranquility of their bodies and minds, and it was as if time had slowed down at this moment.

In the carriage.

Tina looked out the window, her mind wandering, not knowing what she was thinking.

Bill, who was sitting in the corner, was still silent, his eyes deep and cold, as if the sky had nothing to do with him.

Raya and Fran sat excitedly on the bed, imagining the town's customs.

Momentarily holding Ron and sitting quietly at the back of the car, there were no extra words between them.

There have been many emergencies along the way, but many times there is no need for Ron to say anything, and he thought about it in advance and implemented it in an instant.

After more than an hour of travel

"Arrived, and the town of horse racing is ahead."

Outside the carriage

Richard's childish voice suddenly sounded.

The aroma of cooking food and the sound of the crowd communicating with each other have already been told to everyone one step ahead.

Everyone in the carriage popped out of the window one after another, curiously looking at the lively town in front of them.

"Wow"

"It's so beautiful."

Although they had lived in several supply towns along the way, Raya and Fran couldn't help but sigh at the unusual scenery of Horse Racing Town.

Even if it is

The town of Horse Racing is a town full of Western medieval style.

It is built on a hill and is very high.

The town as a whole is not very big, but it is very distinctive.

There are no walls around the town, not even patrolling guards.

The city walls were replaced by patches of reclaimed concave farmland.

Ron looked at the dense, trapezoidal farmland that was divided like fish scales, and his eyes were in a trance, as if he had returned to the past.

The green seedlings in the field are not yet palm-high, and they look like they have just been planted.

You can see that many farmers who have worked all day are carrying heavy wooden baskets loaded with tools, walking along the edge of the fields, talking and laughing with each other in the direction of home.

Above the farmland are gravel paths leading to the outside world, mostly on foot, with occasional horses or wagons hurrying through.

"Wheels. Wheels"

The wheels of the dragon car pressed against the gravel laid with a crisp sound.

After walking along the road built above the farmland, the group soon entered the town.

The streets of Racehorse Town are spacious and neat, consisting of cobbled alleys lined with colorful flower beds and tall greenery, adding a touch of life and beauty to the whole town.

The town's architecture is varied, with some of the buildings retaining the old European style, with walls made of ancient bricks and bluestone, and roofs covered with traditional red tiles.

These ancient buildings exude a sense of history and give a sense of tranquility and stability.

As Ron and the others get closer, the full picture of the town is gradually revealed.

The town is full of people, and various sounds are intertwined to form a lively scene.

The buildings and stalls exude the aroma of a variety of delicacies, and the enticing sounds of cooking and people talking one after another.

"It's such a lively place."

Fran looked at the scenery outside the car window and said with some excitement.

"Look, over there!"

Raya said excitedly, pointing to a place where a crowd had gathered.

It was a string of food stalls filled with a wide variety of foods:

Kebabs, stewed broths, and macchis (a small sweet that resembles a sugar gourd) and more.

A variety of delicious and enticing flavors are intertwined to make your mouth water.

"We can go to Uncle Dave's tavern, his food is your favorite."

Richard saw that everyone was a little hungry, so he offered to propose.

"How do you know what we like to eat?"

Tina asked curiously, and Raya and Fran turned to look at the blonde boy.

But soon they reacted and said in unison:

"Prophecy again?" X3

Richard shrugged:

"The result is obvious, isn't it?"

Raya looked at the middle-aged tone of a middle-aged man who looked like he was obviously a child, grinded her teeth, and said dissatisfiedly:

"What a nasty little brat, his father must be annoying him."

Fran nodded as well.

Everyone was curious about this mysterious human child, and they agreed to the other party's proposal - everyone wanted to see if he really knew everyone's tastes.

Ten minutes later

The group stopped the carriage in front of a tavern.

It is a standard wooden tavern building with two floors on top of the tavern, and a rectangular wooden board is stapled to the tavern, on which are the words "Dave's Wine".

Judging by the oil-stained appearance, it is clearly an old tavern with a long history.

Compared to other taverns in Horse Racing Town.

Although the site of this tavern is small, the business seems to be very good.

The chatter of diners and the aroma of food can be heard wafting through the cracks of the wooden double doors.

Wait for the Earth Dragons to come to a complete standstill.

The blonde boy Richard skillfully jumped off the dragon cart, patted the dragon's right leg naturally, and then walked around the quiet dragon to the tavern.

"Uncle Dave, is my order ready?"

He struggled to push open the wooden door, shouting as he pushed.

"Hahaha, it's Little Richard."

With a hearty laugh, a thick arm reached out from behind the door and helped the emaciated Richardra open the heavy wooden door.

A stout middle-aged man with a beer belly and a gray apron appeared in front of Ron and the others.

Obviously, this is the owner of the tavern - "Dave".

"Is the meal I ordered?"

Richard grimaced, trying to pretend to be an adult, and looked up at Dave, the tavern owner who was twice as tall as himself, and said seriously.

Dave looked at the huge dragon cart parked in front of the tavern, and the people who got off the dragon cart one after another, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

But years of professionalism still made him not show anything unusual.

"Don't worry, you've come to remind your uncle eight times today, how could I forget."

Dave smiled and stretched out his big greasy hands and rubbed Richard's short black hair, only letting go of them after successfully turning them into chicken nest heads.

Richard frowned and allowed the other party to mess up his hairstyle.

After the other party let go, he began to tidy up his messy hair, and said dissatisfiedly:

"Damn, no matter how you change, you can't escape this hand."

Dave, the tavernkeeper, smiled as if he had never done anything:

"Don't worry, your meal has already been prepared for you, but"

Dave first glanced at Ron and his party, then put away his smile and lowered his head and asked cautiously in Richard's ear:

"These guys look a little raw? Is it your friend? ”

Richard looked at the crowd behind him and shrugged:

"Probably so, anyway, those dishes are ordered for them."

Dave looked at the iridescent young dragon lying in his arms for an instant, closing his eyes and recuperating, and suddenly felt that one head was two big.

"Didn't you say there's a dragon among your friends!"
