The ethereal smoke gradually cleared.
In front of Xiuyi's eyes, a little boy who looked like he was about five or six years old, with red faces and white teeth, appeared.
He was bare**, and he happened to look at Xiu Yi happily at this moment, with an innocent expression, and he looked very cute.
"Oh hell, I forgot to get you a set of clothes. Hue picked up the little one.
"Dragons don't need to wear clothes. The little guy who was transformed into ** said in a milky voice, God knows that when he became in dragon form, he would be even bigger than an adult mammoth.
"But people need it. You know what? Daddy has been looking forward to talking to you for a long time. Hue smiled and scratched the little guy's nose. Asahi frowned cutely, he was shaved very uncomfortably.
After thinking about it, Xiu Yi asked a little strangely: "Why can you speak so fluently directly, I thought you only had the function of sound, but the ability to speak should need to be relearned." ”
"Because of you, I've been following you all this time, and I've been using human language for a long time, but before I had Transfiguration, I couldn't adjust the structure of my vocal cords, so I couldn't produce human voices. ”
"Vocal cords?" Huey was a little surprised by the word.
"What I learned from you. The little guy replied very seriously: "What kind of father has what kind of son, and I have learned and understood a lot from you." ”
"You don't speak in a tone that looks like a two-year-old. ”
"The wisdom of the demon dragon does not grow with age, but with strength, and strength grows with age. Dad, you have allowed me to cross the barrier of time, and I have awakened some of my abilities in advance, so my wisdom has also grown. Now I'm an adult. The little one replied proudly.
"Really?" said Huey, looking at him earnestly.
The little guy was a little weak-hearted, lowered his head and thought about it, and then replied, "Almost." ”
"Oh......" Xiu Yi nodded thoughtfully, "Then tell me, the first awakening of the power of the demon dragon, what is the normal age?"
The little one reluctantly replied, "Six years old." ”
"Oh, I wanted to pretend to be an adult at the age of six. Hui laughed and scratched his nose again.
"Of course!" Asahi replied unceremoniously, "I'm going to grow up quickly, and then help my dad kill all those who want to hurt you." I'm empowered now, and I can do more for you. ”
To Asahi's surprise, Xiu Yi's face suddenly sank.
He ** Xu's cute face, and then said softly: "No, Xu, from today onwards, I will not allow you to intervene in my battle, I mean, under any circumstances, you don't." ”
"Why?" Asahi asked in surprise.
Xiu Yi looked at Xu's confused expression and sighed softly: "I must admit that this was my mistake. Until then, I only thought about giving you the power to help me as soon as possible, but I didn't notice that you were still a child. You're young, and you've got human intelligence. I mean, you're no longer just a dragon who only knows how to kill, in a way, you're a more noble being than a human being. You have what humans have and what they don't. But no matter what, you're just a kid. ”
Xiu Yi put Xu down: "Before you transformed, although you already had the ability to communicate with my heart, I saw you more as my pet. But now, you're grown up, you're human, you can talk, you can call me daddy. Do you know what it's like to be a father of a child?"
Asahi shook his head blankly.
Xiui squatted down and said to Asahi very seriously, "You should care about him, love him, not take advantage of him." Dad's future days are full of danger and killing. Asahi, I don't want you to be lost in the killing, like me. You are destined to be the greatest life in this world, and you should not be attached to me. So, I hope you can have an innocent and wonderful childhood, not a bloody one. ”
"But I'm a demon dragon, and the meaning of a demon dragon's life is to fight. ”
"But not now. Now you are still a child, and what you need is the care of your parents, not the use of it. That's why I won't let you fight with me anymore, do you understand?"
The little guy lowered his head and thought for a while, as if he understood something, he blinked his eyes and asked Xiu Yi, "Then what if I change back into my body?"
Huey was a little stuttered for a moment.
When Asahi transforms into **, he is a child, a cute and innocent child.
But when he returns to his main state, the power of the demon dragon will dominate everything, and at this time he will become it, and his thinking is closer to the wild ** state of the jungle that is unique to high-level demonic beasts. If you forcibly suppress its ** and don't let it fight, it will be detrimental to its growth.
It is precisely these two contrasts that cause the conflict in Xiuyi's thinking, so that when Asahi asks this question at this moment, Xiuyi himself doesn't know how to answer.
But for Asahi he already understood.
He hugged Xiuyi's ear and whispered, "Then Dad, I promise you that you don't have to fight people in human form, okay." ”
Xiui was dazed.
After thinking for a long time, he finally nodded and said, "Okay, but if that's the case, without Dad's order, I won't allow you to change back into the form of a demon dragon at will, and for me, I prefer the way you are now." ”
"Yes. The little guy nodded desperately.
"Well, then, how about I'll take you out into the street to buy some clothes to wear, and then we'll go get some good food, even if it's a celebration of your new life?" asked Huey with a smile.
He could clearly see saliva running down the little one's mouth.
"Oh, no, you little slanderer, you are not allowed to bring your habit of being a demon dragon with you. Huey laughed.
Despite the stormy baptism of Thuyglier's sleepless night, the day in Royo was calm and peaceful, and there was no scene of grass and trees.
Perhaps because they knew that the teleportation array could teleport Huigler anywhere, most people didn't think that Huigler would stay in Royo City. The frenzied killing that night was more of an after-dinner conversation.
The midday sun was warm and bright, and Xiu Yi took Asahi by the hand and walked down the bustling streets of Royo City.
This is a rare opportunity for them to calm down and enjoy the scenery of this area.
Xu has already put on his clothes, he is wearing a small vest, a small jacket inside, a pair of black calfskin shoes, and a jade ring around his neck, which looks like a neighbor's baby, and was visited by the big brother **. The spring cold is steep, Xu's little face is flushed, and those who don't know will think that it is frozen, but they don't know that it is the first time that the little demon dragon came to this world in human form, looking at this prosperous scenery, and the mood is excited.
In the palm of his hand, he also grasped a piece of local special glutinous cake made with pure rice, which tasted sweet and the little guy was very comfortable to eat.
Spring in the city of Royo is still quite beautiful.
As a mountain town, there are many local specialties here. Compared to the bustling commercial metropolis, the excitement of the city of Royo may be limited, but it is better because of the pleasant climate and beautiful scenery. In fact, the whole city is not built on flat ground, but the existence of inclination, from south to north, the location of the city is a trapezoidal upward trend. The angle of its rise is greater than 15 degrees, so that standing at the northern end of the city, you can clearly see the southern end.
The Earl of Annfleet's Lord's Mansion is located just north of the city of Royo, which is also the most prosperous area in the whole of Royo. Except for the Silent Island Hotel, which chose the direction of the south from the perspective of reception business, most of the wealthy nobles and wealthy business hotels are concentrated in the northern district.
A big battle in the Northern District caused some damage to some merchants, but it was not Xiu Yi who really caused them damage, but the agents and samurai who ran around after being ambushed.
Some people rushed into nearby shops in a panic, causing a fire and causing heavy damage to local shops.
Of course, the Department of Justice and Justice is duty-bound to put all the blame on Huy Gler, claiming that he did it. However, many of the noble merchants were not so foolish, and they noticed that although Xiuyi's Thunderfire Array was placed on both sides of the road, the center of the attack was towards the center of the road rather than the side of the road.
The Attorney General's statement is as if a bullet from a gun did not hit the enemy, but instead came back backwards and hit oneself in the face.
Therefore, some merchants unceremoniously rushed into the city lord's mansion to find Count Annfleet, and demanded that he give an explanation.
Unless it is the era of heavy agriculture and suppression of commerce, in the vast majority of eras, merchants with sufficient financial resources are usually inextricably linked to aristocratic and wealthy families. When they unite, the power they represent is so strong that even the city lord has to be a little scrupulous. Therefore, the Earl of Annvlet** assured the merchants that the city of Royo would be held accountable for the matter.
Of course, having said that, when it came time to dig into his pocket, Count Annfleet did not hesitate to shift the blame onto Raschel.
The arrest of Xiu Yiglaire is a state-level action, and the local cities have done their duty as a cooperative, so there should always be an explanation for the damage caused now, right? If the above does not bring some money, this matter is very unreasonable.
Raschel unceremoniously spread his hands: I am no longer in charge of the command of Operation Rat-Hunt, and I want to pay compensation?
Kevin Beers and Garrick Inston were undoubtedly powerful figures in the Empire.
However, their authority is based on strong personal force, and has little to do with their command, planning, and logistical support capabilities.
It is true that the composition of society requires great strength, but it is also impossible to do much by relying on strong force alone.
So when Count Annvetlett came and asked them for money, they were blinded.
It was then that the two men began to realize that in order to capture Huigler, they had to deal with more than just a wanted criminal, in fact, they had to deal with various characters and situations.
And this kind of thing is obviously not something they are good at and can deal with.
But for Xiuyi, all this is just a side reward, and now he just needs to take Asahi to enjoy the scenery here. Although the smoke of gunpowder has just cleared after the war, and the original fierce tragedy is still on the ground, which has greatly affected the bustle and prosperity of this place, it is even more exciting and interesting for those who have changed their identities and revisited the old place.
"Dad, I want to eat that!" Asahi exclaimed with his chubby fingers pointing at a snack in the distance.
Following Asahi's fingers, there is a small shop not far away, selling a local specialty snack called "Lieta" in the city of Royo.
The area around the city of Royo is rich in oats, and the oat flour made of this oats can be molded high and tough, and can make a variety of exquisite snacks. Lita is one of the most representative. Oats are first made into flour, then kneaded into a dough, shaped with special molds, and then fried. When frying, a small brush is used to brush animal oil and cheese, and sometimes it is coated with honey or ** wine, and the resulting lita is fragrant and sweet.
There is also a method of baking, and that is "Lieta".
At this moment, Asahi is referring to the lieta, a food that is cooked in the stove with a fire and tastes quite good.
"Okay, I'll go buy you one. ”
"Ten portions. Asahi corrected.
"You little one, you've eaten so much, and you still want to eat so much. Huey laughed.
"The dragon has an appetite like no other. The little guy replied with a belly: "I am in the middle of childbearing, you can't ** children." ”
Xiu Yi laughed helplessly: "Then let's go, we have to drink some millet porridge to eat Lieta, let's go in and sit for a while." ”
The environment of the store is quite elegant and clean, the storefront is not too big, and there are luxury shops everywhere around, so such a small storefront looks a little eye-catching.
Just as Xiu Yi was patrolling the reception staff, there was a sudden loud noise from the back of the store.
A man's voice shouted, "I can't stand it anymore!
As the words fell, a man rushed out of the store and walked out angrily.
The figure of this man shocked Xiuyi's heart, he stared at the departing back, and a gentle female voice sounded behind him:
"What do guests need?"
Turning around, Hue saw a lady holding a child.
It's her?
Nancy Black, the lady who spent a lot of time in the public carriage?
There will always be some coincidences in life, and you can't say when you will be born.
Sometimes it's not the process of birth that matters, it's the consequences that matter.
At that moment, Xiu Yi looked at Nancy and was speechless for a while, Nancy also noticed Xiu Yi at the same time, and also lost her mind slightly.
The young man in front of him was quite similar to Hue Igler.
"Guest...... Do you need something?" asked Nancy cautiously, thinking about it.
"Ahh Xiu Yi came back to his senses, nodded and said, "Yes, I need ten servings of lieta and two bowls of millet porridge." As he spoke, Huey took out a Kinwitt and placed it in Nancy's hand, and he noticed that the lady still had tears on her face. After thinking about it, he said, "No need to look for it." ”
"Ah, distinguished guest, this is not an option. Nancy said hurriedly.
"It doesn't matter. Xiu Yi said lightly: "I just see that it is not easy for you to take a child." Looks like you just had a fight with your husband...... Well, I guess the one who just left the house is your husband, right?"
“...... Yes. Nancy bowed her head and replied, "Let the guests laugh." ”
"Nothing. ”
The tower had been baked a long time ago, so it was served quickly, and the millet porridge needed to be boiled for a while. To Huey's surprise, Nancy still found change for him.
"It's rare to see a lady who is not greedy for money. Xiu Yi smiled: "Actually, you don't have to be polite. ”
"My parents taught me not to get what I didn't belong to. Industrious people can create wealth with their hands. ”
"A good home education, and a lady like you deserves to be happy. ”
Nancy's expression was slightly gloomy: "It's a pity that many times a woman's happiness is built on a man. ”
"Maybe it's just because they don't want to fight for it. "Xiu Yi said as if nothing happened.
He noticed that even though Nancy was busy, she would always peek at him every now and then. Maybe in her mind, she was matching him with Huey Glare, but Huey didn't think it would do him any good to let Nancy reveal her true identity.
Let this coincidental meeting disappear invisibly. Like a drop of waves in the ocean, it shouldn't set off any wind and waves.
Unfortunately, the truth is always contrary to the wishes.
Perhaps it was inconvenient to work with the child in her arms, so Nancy put the child on a table not far away.
The little one fell asleep quietly, but for some reason, he suddenly woke up at this time and cried loudly.
I haven't seen him for a few months, and he can already call "Mommy".
Nancy hurriedly picked up the child and gave Xiui an apologetic look: "I'm afraid your porridge will have to wait a little longer." ”
Xiu Yi smiled: "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, you can take care of the child first." ”
"Thank you for your understanding, you are such a generous guest. ”
"Generosity is a virtue. Huey replied.
"But not everyone has this virtue, although I was lucky enough to meet ......it once," Nancy said with infinite emotion. For her, perhaps the past experience is something she will never forget.
Perhaps it was because the boy in front of her was quite similar to the former acquaintance of Hue Glare, which made Nancy feel a lot more intimate with the boy in her heart. She put away her lost mind and said to Xiu Yi: "Respected guest, maybe you can help me hug this child, he is a little scared, you need to carry him around, he doesn't like others to stand and hug him, unless he is an acquaintance, he will cry non-stop, and his voice will be broken." I'm going to get the porridge you want, there are still a few things to do, but trust me to make it soon. ”
For a mother, it is really helpless to make such a request.
Xiu Yi hesitated slightly, and finally nodded in agreement.
Carefully placing the child in Huey's hands, Nancy smiled apologetically and turned away.
Without the distraction of the children, the work was completed quickly and smoothly.
When she returned to the room with the porridge bowl, an amazing scene appeared.
Huey sat in his place, but the little one uncharacteristically did not cry. Instead, he looked at Xiui in a daze, and chuckled with a cracked mouth.
Then he threw his arms around Huey's neck and threw himself into Huey's arms as if he had met a loved one.
"Oh my God!" Nancy looked at Huey and her child, unable to believe what was happening in front of her.
With a "pop", the porridge bowl fell to the ground and shattered.
