Old Jack is a veteran guarding the treasure vault of Vitas City.

This treasure house, built in the center of Vitas City, stores a large number of Xishi treasures and various high-level magic materials collected by the city lord Julia over the years, as well as the last relics of the Hirsch family.

"Click, click."

The iron footguards inlaid with the worn boots on his feet seemed to be a little loose, and the metal made a crisp sound against the marble floor.

On the medal worn on the old man's chest, which was almost worn to a smooth piece of iron, a faint rose flower mark loomed.

No one knew that this old man was also the deputy commander of the Five-Color Legion back then, and he was once very promising to be promoted to a legendary powerful warrior.

But, that's a thing of the past.

Now, he is just an ordinary old man, silently guarding the most precious treasure of this castle every day, day after day, year after year.

Without a doubt, this is an easy job.

Old Jack only needs to clean the dust at the door of the treasure house every day, and then use a wet towel dipped in a special anti-corrosion potion, and carefully wipe the shiny decorative spar pieces inlaid on the door, and the day's work is done.

Although he is known as the guardian of the treasury, the true guardians are actually the protective circles hidden under the forbidden stones, laid by the legendary city lord himself.

Old Jack is just a simple cleaner who is responsible for maintaining the cleanliness and hygiene of the treasure house and keeping it tidy.

Legend has it that this treasure trove was built on the eve of the Second Great War of Karen, and many of the ancient protective circles buried in it were not even studied by the legendary mage Julia.

But without a doubt, this is one of the safest places in Karon.

Old Jack used to stand outside the treasure house, staring at the colorful forbidden magic stones inlaid on the walls of the treasure house.

He would fantasize about the scene when the ancient city lord set up the protective circle:

Perhaps it was the incarnation of a god who sat alone in the temple for months, or perhaps it was the result of a human leader condensed in a war against a foreign invasion.

These legendary stories will always make Old Jack feel awe, and at the same time, there will be a little bit of blood in his heart that has long been forgotten.

"Hey"

Old Jack came to the door slowly, and gently stirred up a circle of dust with his hands.

As the wind blew, the dust deposited on the ground flew in pieces, as if turning into clouds, softly enveloping his figure.

Normally, a door that is wiped every day will not have so much dust.

But Vitas' Treasury Gate is so peculiar.

Even if it was only a day's interval, it was as if the door had not been cleaned for months, and it was crowded with gray-white "elves".

"Maybe it's because there's a powerful earth element magic item hidden in the treasure house."

That's what Old Jack guessed.

Then, with a soft cloth towel dipped in the anti-corrosion potion, he slowly began to wipe down the sleeping surface in front of the door.

No matter what kind of passion passes, people still have to return to ordinary life after all.

The ambition of my youth, when I look back when I get old, I always feel that my former self is a little childish and ridiculous.

"People, you have to see yourself clearly."

"Being able to live a peaceful life is already a hard thing to find, and you can't ask for too much."

The old man muttered something to himself as he carefully wiped the gate of the Forbidden Stone.

The ambitions of the past have long since turned into silver and white, falling all over the ends of the hair.

Old Jack had no children, and his parents and wife had long since died.

He was almost two hundred years old.

The soldiers who enlisted in the same period as Old Jack, except for a certain regiment commander who was far away in the Red Clay Heights, basically died in the battle to encircle and suppress the Blue Dragon.

This door may be the last person he confides in.

Old Jack carefully wiped the door, his movements were slow and rhythmic, and each wipe was carefully considered, as if he was caressing his own life, feeling the precipitation of the years and the changes of life.

Finally, he tossed the dusty, soft cloth into a metal sink and slowly returned to his post, a wooden chair.

He made it himself.

Leaning back on the wooden backrest, he turned sideways to look at the blue sky, and slowly closed his eyes.

"Whew-"

Just as he was falling asleep.

A secret magic fluctuation suddenly rippled inside the treasure house, and was quickly forcibly suppressed again.

In the past, it was a treasure trove of lonely people, but today, it seems to be a bit lively.

————————————

On the other side of the treasure trove of Vitas City is the bustling Emerald Street.

Here, people are constantly flowing and bustling, forming a lively scene.

On both sides of the street are splendid and colorful shops, and embroidered buildings loom, interpreting a prosperous picture.

The wide variety of goods in the store attracts pedestrians, and laughter and chatter can be heard from time to time in the crowd.

People are laughing and talking, busy shopping, talking, and enjoying the bustling life, as if they have forgotten the disaster and the appearance of the dragon god a few days ago.

It's as if it never happened.

However, in the heart of this bustling shopping street, there is a circular open space that people avoid.

In the clearing, four young maidens, a beautiful lady and a bard were strolling leisurely.

They walked through this shopping street, which is known as the most prosperous commercial street in Vitas City, attracting the attention of many people.

Whenever someone approaches this area, they show a surprised look and take the initiative to get out of the way.

"Hmm! This water lotus fruit is delicious! ”

"Leah, you can try it too."

Lia held two peache-shaped special aquatic plants in her hands and nibbled on them with relish.

Every now and then, she would turn around and smile and recommend to Leah, who was walking on the side.

After a day and a night on the cliff.

With Tina's big personality, naturally she will no longer treat Leah as a rival in love, and everyone has returned to their previous harmonious state.

To say that the only change that has occurred in her.

In Ron's words, "I've become more entangled in dragons, and I like to sneak up on them at night." ”

But that's normal.

The girl who eats the forbidden fruit for the first time, after the end, will always be unable to hold back the throbbing in her heart, and want to try the taste of the forbidden fruit again.

Liya took the water lotus fruit and took a gentle bite, and suddenly the sweet taste of the fruit spread in her mouth, which was intoxicating.

"It's really delicious."

Leah replied with a stiff smile on her lips.

Hearing this, Tina smiled happily, and then looked at the two students who were following behind her buttocks:

"Raya, Fran, do you want to eat?"

Raya and Fran, who were walking beside Leah, had stiff expressions:

"No, no, thank you, mentor."

The reason why their expressions are like this is not because of Tina, but because of the beautiful young woman at the back of the line, Julia.

"Okay~"

Tina turned her head with a smile and continued to "explore" in this bustling shopping street.

"So, why am I shopping here with a couple of little girls!"

At the end of the line, a beautiful young woman was pinching the ears of the middle-aged man next to her and said dissatisfiedly.

"Shhhh

"Julia, before answering this question, can you put my ears down, it's innocent."

The blue dragon Warren tilted his head, bared his teeth and shouted in pain.

Because the person around him is the only sister of his deceased wife, even though Warren has been promoted to the strength of the legendary dragon to surpass Julia, he still doesn't dare to fight back.

"Humph!"

Julia snorted dissatisfiedly, and then put down the earlobe of the old man in her hand.

Warren rubbed his red earlobes distressedly, and couldn't help but sigh:

"Oh my poor ears, you've been in a great trouble today."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at the beautiful woman beside him.

Today's Julia changed her style from the past, and instead of wearing those bright colors, she wore a pale yellow simple dress, which looked like a little jasper.

However, no matter what kind of clothes she wears, there is no way to change the temperament.

Even if it was an ordinary simple dress, it was worn on Julia as if it were a rare treasure, exuding a proud and confident glow.

Her long, fluffy hair fell gently over her slender figure

The deep, pale red jewel-like pure pupils exude a breathtaking beauty, and when paired with the delicately carved white jade-like skin, it is like a dazzling landscape.

Even the three little ones who had been secretly observing in front couldn't help but sigh in their hearts:

"No matter what she wears, the charm she exudes from the inside and outside is destined for this woman to be a unique existence."

Julia's beauty and aura make people fall in love with it, and walking down the street is like a real queen patrolling her territory.

In fact, it is.

Who made her the lord of the city~~~

Raya and Fran walked ahead of her.

Although the two of them are also little beauties, they instantly look a little overshadowed by Julia.

Whether it is appearance, temperament, or the identity of the city lord, Julia is a formidable existence.

For young students like Raya and Fran, a sense of awe and tension naturally arises in their hearts in the face of Julia's powerful aura.

Even the students of the Royal Capital Academy of Magic are like this, not to mention Liya, who is just a civilian.

"Why do you go shopping with her? That's the lord of a city! ”

Leah shouted for the seventh time in her heart.

Her aunt had already been taken to the Crystal Palace by Ron a few days ago and treated by the best doctors in all of Vitas.

Looking at her aunt, who was getting better and better, and her rare smile, Liya finally let go of her hanging heart and cried with joy.

Now, Leah, who has nothing to do, now doesn't have to worry about life anymore.

She also came out shopping at Tina's invitation this time.

But

For such a respectable legendary existence as Julia, follow behind him.

Rao is now very big-hearted, and Liya also feels like sitting on pins and needles, and she always feels uncomfortable anywhere.

Among the group, only Golden Dragon Tina and Blue Dragon Warren could ignore this coercion and naturally talk to the city lord.

Probably, this is the self-confidence that comes with strength.

"This matter of letting you out has nothing to do with me, it was ordered by Ron's crown."

Warren rubbed his ears and said helplessly:

"He went out on a trip, and he was worried that these human friends would be attacked by the enemy, so he specially ordered us to follow them."

After speaking

Warren hesitated, but finally said slowly according to what Ron had taught him yesterday:

"This lady, you don't want Ron's majesty to come back and find out that Tina and the others are injured, and then destroy the whole of Vitas in a rage, right?"

"You?"

Julia looked at Warren in surprise.

This kind of threatening language is also a bit of a scoundrel, not quite like the usually mild-mannered Warren can say.

I saw Warren put on a look that it was none of my business and had nothing to do with me.

Julia snorted coldly, clasping her disgruntled hands to her chest.

This action made the fullness that was about to overflow rise again, almost in the shape of a basketball.

"Damn the dragon, do you use me as a guard?"

"When I am promoted to demigod, I must get this face back, wait."

Julia looked like she was "gritting her teeth", but secretly pinched the edge of the hem of her blouse.

Just when Julia complained about the iridescent dragon, she didn't notice Warren's peeping gaze.

"Whew"

"Luckily, it looks like she hasn't noticed anything wrong."

Seeing that Julia didn't seem to be ready to continue pestering in this regard, Warren quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and his hanging heart was also put into his stomach.

"What are you looking at?"

Suddenly, Julia turned her head to stare at Warren beside her and asked.

"Huh? Nothing, nothing."

Warren, who was distracted, hurriedly waved his hand, signaling that it was okay.

"Oh."

Julia seemed to just ask casually, and when she saw Warren waving her hand, she turned her head and continued to look in the direction of Tina and the others.

It's just a faint redness on the white jade-like face.

Maybe it's because the spring wind is still a little cold, blowing the girl's face red.

Unconsciously, the distance between a man and a dragon seemed to be a little closer, from three positions apart to two

And the blue dragon, immersed in the memories, apparently did not notice this.

Look at Julia's beautiful face.

Warren couldn't help but think back to the night talk between the two dragons last night.

————————

last night

Crystal Castle

Blue Dragon Warren's bedroom

"What? Let me take Julia shopping? You go to the treasure trove to get the map? ”

Face the jaw-dropping old blue dragon Warren.

Ron nodded, looking as a matter of course:

"Of course, anyway, you told me the location and appearance of the treasure house, so naturally I will take it myself."

As he spoke, the corners of Ron's mouth showed a Nike-style "Dragon King Evil Smile", and he looked at Warren with a smile:

"Huh? You don't think you're better than me, do you? ”

"No, but I think I'm better off with this infiltrator."

Warren scratched his head, feeling a little weird.

"Ann La Ann La~~~"

Ron patted the blue dragon on the shoulder, winked at him, and said meaningfully:

"Before I get my hands on it, in order to prevent things from being exposed, you just need to contain Julia."

"Don't worry, I'll let Tina go shopping with her students, and then you can use the excuse of keeping them safe."

Feel the heavier and heavier hand that Ron placed on his shoulder.

Warren's expression was a little helpless:

"Your Majesty Ron, do I have any other options?"

Ron spread his hands and said that he was also helpless: "Obviously, there is none~"

"Hey"

"Okay."

After thinking about it repeatedly, for the sake of Julia's safety in the future, Warren still agreed to Ron's strange request.

"That's right."

Ron grinned and let go of his hand as he straightened the collar of his pajama with the blue bear motif for Warren.

"Old Wo, I'm not very skilled in infiltration, in order to prevent being discovered, you can sacrifice yourself to help me contain Julia's gaze, so that I can take out that map."

He said this, then turned and trotted two steps from the window, and flew out of the window in the form of a miniature dragon.

He's still having to deal with Tina, who is a little addicted to food tonight.

That's a golden dragon!

You must know that the XXOO of normal real dragons is calculated according to the sky, and the physical leader of the golden dragon is even more courageous, if you want to level Tina, Ron has to spend twelve points of energy!

Oh, and some white dragons may have a shorter time in this regard.

Because the longer they are there, the more likely they are to attract predators such as frost giants, so they usually survive hastily

Ahem

In short, there is enough time for Ron to be busy these days~~~~

Before leaving, Ron, who was flying in mid-air, turned around and solemnly reminded Warren:

"Remember, you must not let Julia go away until I signal success."

Looking at the hidden smile in the iridescent dragon's eyes, Warren always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell.

Shortly after Ron left.

Warren suddenly remembered something important that had been forgotten.

"Wait! Wait a minute! ”

He hurried to the window and whispered into the night:

"Ron! You haven't said what the success signal is!? ”

pity

At this time, outside the dark castle, except for a few scattered fireflies, there was no iridescent dragon. (End of chapter)
