Chapter XVIII
As the morning sun grew hot, Diarlandor was awakened. Sleepy-eyed and yawning, he stretched a huge lazy waist, moving his slightly aching back. As soon as he moved, a person next to him moved, grabbed the other man and pressed him to the ground, only to realize that this person was Fayle.
"Ah, why are you?" let go of his hand and took a step back, and Dearlando continued to yawn at his hair that had been stuck together with dragon blood. No wonder some people say that every day when the sun rises is a new beginning, and after a good night's sleep, the sense of despair like the end of yesterday has diminished a lot.
Fayl rubbed his sore head and buttocks, got up from the ground, pouted, and said, "I'm kind enough to save you, look below." The young dragon, who also yawned and crawled out of Deirlando's collar, looked at Fayle and smacked his lips, and the frightened mage quickly pulled away.
A man and a dragon stuck their heads out of the sculpture on the roof, and were immediately frightened back by the black crowd below. It turned out that unconsciously, the entire Golden Dome Palace was full of people inside and out, and it seemed that most of them were ordinary people.
"Oh my God, why are there so many people? When did they come up? What is this for?" asked Dearlando, puzzled.
"Come and meet the Starlight King—your new nickname—and see the Living Saint, the true Dragon Lord of the Tried and Tested. If it's fake, they're still worshipping so actively, and you're real. By the way, they came to pay a fee, five hundred gold coins per person, the price set by His Excellency the Governor, and Tong Su was not deceived. ”
Fayl complained coldly, although the shark rider saved himself once, but when it comes to making money, he really deserves to be a White Moody, no softer than Zannaya.
"That guy!" Deirlando scolded with a smile, not wanting to fall into the blind worship of such a large crowd of people at the moment, he grabbed Fayle and said, "Let's go back to the circus." ”
As soon as he moved, his eyes were shaken by the diamonds on his clothes, and it turned out that when he fell asleep unconsciously yesterday, he was still wearing a tattered dress. Summoning his leather armor, Deirlandor took off his clothes, which had already become several pieces of cloth, tossed them aside, and followed Fair back to Shakkorin's manor via a short teleportation scroll.
Achille and Luna were happiest when they saw Diarlando return, but because of the dragon's blood on their bodies, Diarlando refused Luna's hug. Dino, who was unconscious, also came to his senses under the touch of Rises, screaming that he was starving to death, and was taken to eat by Aunt Rum with a smile on his face.
Dearlando looked for a place to freshen up, but even the bath water had to be treated by Fayer before it could be discarded. When he looked in the mirror, he found that he didn't know when his skin had returned to normal, and recalled the attitude of Martin and Kenda, maybe that phenomenon only existed for a short time, otherwise Kenda would have asked after it.
The sharp-eyed Zoya noticed the dark spots on her shoulders as soon as Ryses appeared, and at this moment she patiently waited for Deirlandor to finish washing, and immediately came to ask what was going on. Diarrando happened to have something to announce, so he asked Zoya to arrange it on his behalf. Soon, the five candidates regrouped for a second meeting. Everyone sat around a large table, looking at each other and guessing what was going to happen next.
At the meeting, Dearlando spoke first, giving a brief account of what happened yesterday and explaining the current situation of Reeses. As he finished, the room fell silent.
"So, the drake is no longer a pure starlight dragon cub?" Zoya spoke first, as the elven candidate had the longest and most comprehensive study of dragons. According to their historical records, it does seem to be mentioned that the baby dragon changes as it grows, but it is not known how this change occurs.
"Maybe...... I've been careful about what it eats, feeding it only neutral precious metals, gemstones, and pure magic crystals from the positive emotions of humans. Unexpectedly, it fell short, and in the end it was polluted by Fikelen. Dearlando gently stroked the young dragon's shoulder, he had eaten a lot yesterday, so Riceth didn't want breakfast, just lay comfortably in the palm of his hand, listening to the meeting.
"Nonsense, I'm still me, stupid human. Hearing Dearlando's evaluation, Reses squirted a small fireball in dissatisfaction and retorted with a flick of his tail.
"Then what do you mean by calling us to a meeting?" Lan Li clipped his hand and pointed to the point. Dearlando would never reveal such an important secret for no reason, and he must have something important to announce about the young dragon right now.
Diarrando smiled, stopped going around in circles, and spoke directly: "I thought about it for a night yesterday, how to get rid of the dark energy that polluted Ryseth. Thinking of Zuihou, I feel like I can find a way to transfer those dark energies to me, and then just kill me, and it will be solved. But then Ryses will have no contractor, so I want to ask you, under what circumstances will the contractual relationship be transferred?"
These words made the eyes of everyone present except Zoya, only Zoya immediately objected: "I don't agree, your method is no different from suicide, and even if you think so, Reses will not agree." ”
The young dragon immediately rolled over and crawled up, angrily biting Deerlando's fingers in protest.
"Well, I'm just talking about a solution, Ricles, don't bite! This doesn't necessarily work! Besides, aren't these candidates because I might have failed in the first place?"
Diarlando let out a cry of pain from the bite, and quickly grabbed the young dragon by the tail. As a result, Ryses did not give up, and bit him on the palm of his hand again. The tiny teeth sank deep into the flesh, but they didn't bite through, apparently in protest.
Dan, who usually doesn't speak much, suddenly spoke: "As far as I know, if any of us kill you with our own hands, we can get your contract." The others didn't speak, but their eyes flickered to prove that his statement was true.
"Of course, we must also win the dragon's consent before we can truly hand over the contract. It's simply an impossible task. The Blue Rite Steward shrugged his shoulders and took a puff of tobacco as he spewed out a gray-blue mist, "How could the young dragon and the contractor have such a strong relationship, how could they agree to transfer the contract to the person who killed the contractor himself?"
Diarlando suddenly smiled, no wonder these people gathered around him early, but they didn't dare to do anything.
"Dan, you said I owe you a favor. If that time comes, I'll prioritize you to replace me, don't worry about Rises, I'll convince it. With that, Deirlandor pulled out the dagger pinned to his belt and threw it in front of Dan. "If it weren't for you yesterday, I would have died, so I owe you. ”
The ordinary-looking Dan suddenly laughed confidently, and suddenly added a dazzling brilliance to his mediocre face, like a sword blade that had been hidden in the scabbard was pulled out. He gently picked up the dagger that had slid in front of him, and then pulled out an identical handful from his body.
"Sometimes, it feels like it's meant to be. I don't need your dagger yet, though, so let's swap scabbards as an agreement. With that, Dan pulled the scabbard of his dagger, put it on Deirlando's, and pushed it back again.
Dearlando took the dagger back and examined it carefully, the scabbard was almost exactly the same design as his original, but because he used it more, there was more wear and toning in many places, and it was obviously a pair of things. I don't know how this dagger ended up in the hands of the King of Light in the first place, and how it became so sharp.
The other four candidates looked at Dan with unkind eyes, noticing the complex and oppressive atmosphere between the five people, Diarlando put away the dagger, waved his hand and said easily: "It's not that time yet, don't fight first." At the end of the day, you're all about maximizing profits, and first of all, you have to be able to ensure that the baby dragon grows up is a righteous and bright attribute in order to help us defeat the Demon Dragon King in the end. If you're evil-minded, and I'd like to raise another dragon, I'd rather destroy you all and die with Reseth. ”
Zoya looked at Diarrando worriedly, trying to say something, but finally closed her mouth.
Aunt Rumm shook her head and said, "I'm so old that I don't really want to see any bloody fire, I'll find a way to help you purify it, young man, don't think about it." There is a saying in our hometown that good mushrooms can only grow from rotten wood. You think you've reached a dead end, but in fact, there may be a new world in front of you. ”
The giant Radardu, who had not spoken from beginning to end, nodded to everyone, stood up and walked out, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.
The meeting ended in such a delicate atmosphere, and Zuihou was left with Zoya sitting opposite Diarrando sulking.
Diarlando didn't know how to comfort her, after all, he had just learned that in order to save Dino's life, Zoya even sacrificed her soul power yesterday to save the vanished Dino with the glory of the elves.
"Alas...... You know what? When I decided to form such a team to find you, I didn't think I wanted to be a true dragon singer...... Landis and Agati are the children I watched grow up, the offspring of my brother's union with a human wife. After the destruction of the human city, I was brought into our kingdom and raised by my mother. Zoya lowered her eyes and spoke sadly.
Diarrando stood up, walked over to Zoya's side, leaned over and put his arm around the red-haired half-elf's shoulders to comfort her, "Don't remind me how small I am compared to you, how I can pursue you like this." ”
Zoya couldn't help but laugh at Diarlando's amusement, and flicked Diarlandor's ear vigorously and said, "Hmph, look at your poor mouth! When you see my mother, she will naturally take care of you! Now that Reses is polluted, he can only take it to the Diecui Mountains and Forests to see if our people can purify it." Rumm is right, never give up hope. ”
Diarlando pressed half of his body weight on Zoya, and suddenly felt a little sour nose, he rubbed his head on Zoya's shoulder, and finally held back the disobedient tears and weak words.
