Vitas is a city built on water, with large and small waterways dotted around the city, and all kinds of strange water wonders are found throughout the city.

But if there is one river that is the widest, it must be the moat that surrounds the city walls.

The moat that surrounds the city walls resembles a giant python, sparkling and rippling like a giant blue ribbon, emitting the refreshing sound of rippling water.

By the river, rows of poplar trees hang down their verdant branches and leaves, and the shadows of the trees are swaying, dancing in the wind, like a group of dancers.

The ancient city walls, which have stood for thousands of years, surround the entire city like an unwavering dragon, giving people a sense of security and solemnity.

The breeze blows the dresses of the girls, and the noise of the market in the distance is noisy and bustling, which makes people feel more intimate.

Suddenly, a shout broke the silence.

"Are you ready?"

Tina, who had changed into a light blue silk robe, stood excitedly on the bank of the river, crossed her hands on her waist, and shouted to the people in front of her.

Opposite her stood five people in uniform costumes.

Instant, Leah, Raya, Fran, and Julia, who had been forcibly pulled, stood in a neat line, as if the general's minions were being inspected by Tina.

They wore uniform golden dragon scale armor, and the seamless design was like a tailor-made bodysuit, perfectly wrapping everyone's beautiful bodies.

Not far away, a small group of guards seemed to spot several figures at the city walls while patrolling the city.

"What are you doing, woman?"

The six guards looked serious, holding the knight's sword and shouting loudly.

But in the next second, they saw the familiar face standing in the center of the crowd.

"Lord of the Castle!"

The captain of the guard hurriedly returned his sword to his sheath and stood up straight in salute.

"Go down and tell Guran that no one will disturb us in this area tonight."

"Yes!"

After casually driving away the patrol guards who came up to salute, Julia frowned and tugged at the circular crest on her chest, causing a dazzling flash of dragon scale armor tightly wrapped around her body.

The round iron plate was engraved with the mark of a golden dragon's claw, faintly exuding a solemn aura.

"Anyway, why do I have to change into such strange clothes?"

Julia said helplessly.

It was the first time she had worn such close-fitting clothes, and she felt a little stuffy in her chest, and the choppy snow waves, even if they were wrapped in golden scales, could not stop its dazzling attraction.

"Oh, I finally got it from my grandfather's treasure house."

Tina coughed twice and forcibly explained:

"Anyway, don't worry about the details, don't you think we're cool like this?"

Tina took out a coat of arms and patted it lightly on her chest, grinning.

As her movements fell, countless golden dragon scales instantly spread out from the coat of arms, and finally formed a dragon scale armor on Tina's body that was exactly the same as Julia and the others.

Stroking the hard and resilient dragon scale clothes, the corners of Fran's mouth twitched a little, and she thought:

"How many pieces of this kind of clothes are there, and this material won't be golden dragon scales."

"How many golden dragons do you have to kill to get so many dragon scales? Could it be that his teacher is a hidden dragon executioner? ”

Obviously, this little guy didn't know that the golden dragon would also fade as he got older.

And the golden dragon scales on these dragon scale clothes are basically from Tina's uncles and aunts.

"Listen to me."

Tina patted her chest lightly and explained to the group:

"This dress has its own waterproof and fireproof function, and it can also be immune to magic attacks below the five rings, so it can protect you when you go into the water for a while."

"But I don't know how to dive."

Leah raised her hand timidly.

She hadn't learned the skill of swimming yet, and she was worried that if she went down, she was afraid that the fish hadn't been caught yet, and the person would suffocate first.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine, you see."

Tina was in high spirits and tapped the coat of arms on her chest, and in an instant a golden helmet resembling a medieval knight covered her head.

Tina pointed to her head and explained:

"This one draws oxygen from the water and comes with multiple adaptive circles to ensure you can move freely in any situation."

After speaking, she turned to the bottomless moat and shouted excitedly:

"Alright, let's attack the ingredients!"

"This"

Everyone glanced at each other, and they all saw the hidden curiosity in each other's eyes.

If it weren't for Tina's suggestion, perhaps everyone would never have done such a thing as having a picnic in the city in their lifetime.

It's not that it can't be done, it's that it's not necessary.

"Okay."

In the end, everyone nodded in agreement, and the head armor was extended by Tina's movements.

"I can't hear it, be louder."

Tina was now standing by the river, and she put her hands to her lips and clasped them in the shape of a trumpet, shouting loudly in the direction of the crowd.

"Good !!"

This time, the women's voices were significantly raised by more than fifty decibels.

"Very good, very energetic~~"

Tina nodded in satisfaction, and then took the lead and dived into the river first.

Not far behind, everyone jumped into the water one after another, swinging in circles of water lines.

Not far from where everyone went into the water

The two male true dragons were also quietly discussing the fishing six here.

"Hiss"

The blue dragon Warren gasped and stared at the circular coat of arms on everyone's chests with wide eyes in disbelief.

"Hell, this seems to be. A godsend from Lord Ares, the Golden Dragon King, right? ”

"Legend has it that only the golden dragon that has been approved by the dragon god will receive a treasure reward of this level, where did Miss Tina get so many sets?"

Ron sat on the stone next to Warren, and said lazily while casting the [Seven Rings Magic: Demon Duncan Mansion]:

"Don't be so jackpotent, there's at least a bunch of storage space in this thing Tina."

As Ron's words fell, a massive seven-story black tower-like building appeared out of thin air in the clearing beside him.

"Boom!"

The tower slammed down on Warren's side, causing him to bounce half a meter high from the stone and then fall again.

A normal Magic Duncan Mansion is generally a three-story villa in a different dimension, with a magic garden or something like that at most (you need to grow it yourself).

However, at Ron's level, all magic is no longer limited to form, but modifies a certain spell model according to the effect you want to achieve.

"And a bunch? Are you kidding! Did she go and ransack the Golden Dragon King's treasury? ”

Warren ignored the tall building that appeared out of thin air next to him, and shouted in disbelief as he looked at Ron with wide eyes.

"Probably, who knows~"

Ron spread his hands.

He said to the rich woman: Do you think my family's "three richest generations in the astral realm" are blown out?

"Oh my God, how is this possible, is Tina a dragon god who has hidden his strength."

Warren froze in place and muttered to himself.

Ron shook his head and didn't explain anything more.

The next second

The tower's doors suddenly opened, revealing a familiar sight to Ron.

The ground floor of this completely magical tower is a black and white bedroom.

The whole room is incredibly spacious and simply furnished.

There is only one suspended metal hanger, a double bed covered with a white plush blanket, and a classic wooden rectangular table with a mirror across the bed.

"Why did I subconsciously do it like this, obviously I envisioned a house full of wood?"

Ron frowned slightly as he looked at the scene in front of him.

After thinking for a while, he still chose to greet Warren who was still frozen in place:

"Come in, if I'm not mistaken, there must be a lot of old furniture on the top floor."

"Tina gave us both the task of getting some firewood, and if you don't want to go out of town to cut down trees, help me get the old furniture out."

As he spoke, Ron took the lead in waving the miniature dragon wings and slowly flew into the tower.

The other side

An hour after everyone entered the water, it was completely dark.

In the night, the light of the stars sprinkled on the water through the clouds, enveloping the entire water city of Vitas in a mysterious light and shadow.

"Flutter!"

Suddenly, a soft sound broke the silence.

A huge golden dragon head slammed out of the water of the moat, its eyes glittering with dazzling gilt light, as if it possessed endless wisdom and power.

Subsequently, Jin Longniang's streamlined body also detached from the water, showing her magnificent momentum.

Her body shimmered with gold, and each scale shone like a jewel. The fin-like wings on either side of the body are wide and light, powerful yet elegant.

Immediately afterwards, several "little golden dragons" also broke through the water.

But if you look closely, you will find that what kind of little golden dragon it is, it is just a human wearing an armor made of golden dragon scales.

Watch everyone go ashore safely.

Tina smiled, turned into a humanoid form, and casually threw the large pile of fish in the storage space onto the grass.

"I won this fishing competition!"

Jin Longniang crossed her hands on her waist, raised her head high, and shouted proudly.

"Teacher, you're cheating!"

"If you hadn't suddenly turned into a dragon and scared the fish away, we wouldn't."

Fran, who was the second to come out of the water, threw the small whitebait less than thirty centimeters long in his hand to the shore and said helplessly.

Tina hurriedly covered her ears:

"Don't listen, don't listen~~~"

"Hmph~~ No matter what you say, Tina won anyway, hehehe." (#^.^#)

Raya and the others, who had lifted the dragon scale clothes, walked ashore, looked at a few small fish in their hands, and then looked at the mountains of at least thousands of fish piled up around Jin Longniang.

They could only sigh helplessly, it's good to be a dragon.

In fact, including the Golden Dragon, the five metal dragons are all true dragons that are good at water.

Compared to the five-color dragons, the metal dragons can exert a little higher combat power underwater, due to their special fin-like body structure and the deconstruction of their claws.

Liya, who was the last to come up, looked at everyone's depressed expressions, and hurriedly smiled and comforted:

"It's okay, the fish we caught are enough for us to eat, and it's a waste to catch too much and not eat it."

Hearing this, it was rare to take the initiative to say in an instant:

"Well, wasting food is a big no-no."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and they were soon relieved.

"Let's clean it up,"

With that, they cast all sorts of magic tricks and began to cleanse the fish and some parts of its body that could not be eaten.

Tina said regretfully while washing:

"Unfortunately, I've been looking for a long time and haven't found any trace of Lake Vitas fish in this river."

Remembering the delicious taste of the fish from Lake Vitas sent by the sixth princess Pandora in the royal capital, Tina couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

The deliciousness of the top-notch ingredients made the golden dragon lady at that time unable to eat well for three days.

During that time, the scent of fish echoed in Tina's mind, so much so that anything she ate tasted as hard to swallow as chewing wax.

Julia shook her head, waved her hand and released a dexterous stream of water that washed hundreds of fish in an instant, and said casually:

"That fish has long been extinct, and if you want to catch a live fish, you'll have to go to the ancient city of Vitas."

"I've been in Vitas for so many years, and I've only received gifts from a few Vitas Lake fish that have been sealed by the great nobles. As for the live Vitas Lake fish, even I have never seen it myself. ”

"Ah~~~ It's a pity, it's really a sad story for the dragon."

Tina lamented.

Fran and Raya, who were wiping the scales of the fish with a brush, pouted:

"If they are still alive, you are probably their biggest enemy, teacher."

While the women were talking, Ron and Warren also came to the river with a large amount of firewood.

Ron pointed to the moving wooden pile dozens of meters high behind him and Warren, who was buried in it, and said with a smile:

"The campfire is ready, so we.?"

【Four Rings of Magic: Dimensional Tentacles】

Before anyone else could speak.

Julia, who felt sorry for Warren, quietly manipulated the magic power and removed all the wooden piles on Warren's body.

Everyone looked at Julia in amazement.

As for the blue dragon Warren who was carrying the wood on his back, he didn't feel anything.

He was still immersed in the shocking thing he had just heard Ron say to him, "Tina's grandfather's name is Ares, and it seems that he also holds the position of the Golden Dragon King", and he couldn't extricate himself for a long time.

After doing this, Julia's body suddenly stiffened, and then she realized that she was a little impulsive.

A slight flush appeared on her face, and she quietly glanced at the people behind her.

Tina and the others glanced at each other, then tacitly suppressed their smiles together, nodded and responded to Ron:

"Let's get started!"

Rumble!

With an unpretentious fireball spell falling, a huge bonfire was instantly ignited.

Under the stars

Wisps of the aroma of grilled fish gradually spread along the river.

Around the campfire, everyone formed a circle, and the firelight reflected on their faces, illuminating their smiles and anticipation.

I don't know who started it

Stories, legends, and adventures began to be shared, and everyone listened with interest and sparked each other's imaginations.

Tina begins to recount the mysterious ruins she and Shirley and the other dragons encountered in the Ancient Forest when they first arrived in Karen, describing the beautiful appearance and magical abilities of the strange constructs in the ruins.

Warren then shared the Ancient Dragon Tomb he had encountered in the mountains interspersed with the extraterrestrial dimension, and others shared their own stories.

The heat of the bonfire hit the face, illuminating the smiling faces of the crowd.

After enjoying a rare bonfire feast.

Julia left the crowd and walked alone to the river.

Thinking back to everyone's performance just now, the corners of Julia's mouth couldn't help but curl up again.

But soon, she forcibly withdrew her smile again.

"How long has it been since you've laughed so openly?"

She looked up at the stars.

Those twinkling stars seem to tell the secrets of the universe, and they seem to be mischievous with the people below.

In the starry sky, a crescent moon is hanging in the night, guiding the direction of those who return home in the dark.

Look at the reflection of the moon on the water in front of you and feel the tranquility.

Suddenly, she bent down to take off her shoes and gently placed them on the grass beside her.

She slowly sat down by the river, stretched out her jade-beaded white toes and gently touched the surface of the water, causing a series of ripples.

The starry sky in the water also seems to be touched, rippling with the movement of the toes, shining beautifully.

Then, as if accustomed to the water temperature, Julia slowly soaked both pairs of beautiful feet in the clear water.

Boom.

The noisy river seemed to have subsided at this time, and the sound became ethereal and quiet.

She quietly felt the touch of the water, enjoying the peace and comfort that this moment brings.

The river flowed slowly between her feet, gently embracing the soles of her feet, taking away the fatigue and sorrow of the day, and even the inner fatigue seemed to be slowly washed away.

Julia closed her eyes and allowed herself to fully immerse herself in this moment of calm.

"Quiet. Night, light. Dazzling"

Gradually, notes came out of the girl's mouth.

She gently stepped on the river, and every movement of her legs was accompanied by the ripples of fine dust.

The moonlight was like silver, gently shining on Julia, illuminating her bright and pure countenance.

Julia's jade feet stepped gently in the river, and the ripples of time rippled with her footsteps, like the twinkling notes of stars.

"Look at the starry sky, shining like diamonds."

She evokes the tunes of her childhood with a gentle voice, like a carefree maiden running on the prairie, fresh flowers and grass, soft wind and clouds.

Gradually, everyone stopped.

As the clear singing voice came out, the whole night seemed to be filled with quiet music, and the starlight danced with it.

The long sound is like water, cold and gentle, like a drizzle gently brushing the petals, like a breeze blowing across the water.

The maiden is one with the moon, the stars, and the river.

She soothes everything around her with her singing, bringing an endless sense of tranquility and beauty.

In the distance, the crowd around the campfire had stopped talking.

They closed their eyes and listened quietly to this beautiful ballad.

Warren, who was sitting on the edge of the fire, had already burst into tears.

Rewind time 180 years ago

In the gloomy dragon's lair.

Facing the gaze of the huge blue dragon in front of him.

A shivering girl in a pale yellow dress suppressed the fear in her heart and whispered the song she knew best.

"Quiet Night, Bright Light"

"It's like being in heaven, the soul is home"

"Look at the starry sky, shining like diamonds"
