23. New Beginnings (6)

"Isn't it childlike at this time?"

Nidhogg was a little embarrassed, and then said angrily and funny:

"That's right, a child should be like a child, and just accept the help of adults?"

Sneering pulled Roland out from under the covers, and Roland looked at Niederhogg unhappily.

Lieutenant Colonel Nidhogg, the captain of the Guards, is a child in a black Guards uniform, and his real body is indeed an ancient dragon race that has been popular for hundreds of years.

Since Brunhill and Tyr were going to the hearing together, the task of taking care of Roland naturally fell to the idle Nidhogg.

"This is a test of your trust, Lieutenant Colonel Nidhogg. ”

Every time Nidhogg is asked to take the initiative to do something he doesn't like, the tried-and-true killer is activated again. The commissar-like tone, the solemn expression almost changed the title to "Davarich Niderhog".

It's a trivial little trick, but Nidhogg eats it very much.

Although taking care of the [guy who defiled the colonel's sheets] was very unpleasant to Heilong, after Li Lin patted him on the shoulder, there was no problem.

After re-examining the [nasty task] in his turned head, he judged it to be a rare opportunity - a rare opportunity to communicate face-to-face between the main palace and the side room to find out the roots of the other party.

Roland was unaware of the strange and jumbled thoughts in Nidhogg's mind, and the thorny taunts of the captain of the guards sparked his rebellion, and he fought back without fear.

"It's like what Tyre would say!"

"That's right, but I think that's true, so I'll extend it. ”

Looking away from Roland and looking at the ticking alarm clock on the bedside table, the black dragon grinned.

"I think I have to add a word about it.,When did you have the illusion that you can take responsibility like an adult?Too stubborn will make a rare beauty out of shape.,Little Tsundere~~~"

"Little ...... What?!"

Gasped. Roland's mouth was crooked, as if he had bitten into a sour plum.

"Little tsundere, the female soldiers call you that in private. I don't know exactly what that means, but for now it seems that it should be changed to a little sick Jiao. ”

As everyone knows, the biggest belly black disease Jiao is his own boss, watching the three hands of the alarm clock go to the designated position, Nidhogg said happily.

"It's time to take medicine~~~~~~~~~

With Nidhogg's almost sadistic jovial voice. Roland, who was pouting, suddenly collapsed with a broken expression.

"Can you ......?"

Only halfway through the sentence, before the quilt covered his head, Roland's wail was stopped.

Nidhogg was walking over with that horrible vial. There was a smile on his face that made Roland shudder.

"Good boy, take the medicine~~~~~~~"

It was a smile indistinguishable from the old witch who ate children in the fairy tale book, and in front of [Long Wei], he couldn't even think of resisting, and Nidhogg had already poured the potion into Roland's mouth.

"Wow!!"

As soon as [Long Wei] withdrew, Roland bent down and opened his mouth wide to the ground. The tongue, which was almost non-functional, stretched out, and the numb mouth was about to protest when a piece of sweet stuff gagged it.

"Huh?"

"Take this in your mouth and wait for the taste to ease before you eat it. ”

Nidhogg held a glass jar and said lightly.

It is a honey-stained orange. The revived taste buds tell Roland the sweet face that almost makes his body tremble. The refreshing scent that filled his nostrils almost brought Roland to heaven. Slowly chewing on the orange slices, Roland regained some spirits.

"Would you like another slice?"

"Hmm. ”

Nidhogg carefully pulled a slice of orange out of the jar and stuffed it into Roland's open mouth like a chick waiting to be fed.

"Is it delicious?"

Screwing the lid tightly, with a hint of boyish vanity and pride, Nidhogg looked at Roland who nodded incessantly, and smacked his honey-stained fingers in his mouth as if he were triumphant.

"This ...... You did it?"

Roland, who reacted, looked incredulous, looking at the captain of the pro-guard who was greedy for honey and a little cute, and the feeling of being unable to get off the line climbed into his heart.

Ignoring Roland's surprise, Nidhogg introduced it seriously: "Even in the dragon clan, honey and sugar cubes are priceless treasures, gold coins, gems and the like can be found to get them, sugar and sweets are not at all, because the sugar produced by humans and orcs is also limited, and the storage of sugar is also very troublesome." So if there is enough sugar in the nest, the female dragons will definitely flock to the door, and the male dragons who can make sweets will also be more popular. ”

"But ......"

After hesitating for a moment as to how to phrase it, Roland cautiously asked:

"Dragon's staple isn't a dessert, is it?"

"Most dragons like to eat dangerous species, but we are also tired of monotonous tastes, and we are the least resistant to sweetness. However, there are also a few guys who particularly like the taste of human flesh. ”

The black dragon's grinning mouth was full of triangular teeth, and the human boy couldn't help but shudder.

Nidhogg shrugged, spread his hands and continued:

"But 200 years ago, people tried to avoid cannibalism. Because Grafvollud, the silver dragon who lived in the frozen valley of the northern permafrost, ate an unlucky orc with Charlemagne's disease, and soon after, he inexplicably hung up, and everyone made up their minds not to eat the wisdom seed much, and even if they did, they tried to choose virgins who could not be infected with that troublesome disease. ”

Roland was stunned and didn't say a word, and made trouble for a long time, the truth of the rumor that the dragon clan likes to eat girls is actually for hygiene and epidemic prevention, and to ensure the quality and safety of food...... How maddening!

Nidhogg was still licking his fingers, and vaguely continued to explain the dragon's trivia:

"It's true that sugar and honey are not staple foods, but for us who can live for thousands of years, they should be considered one of the few pleasures and pastimes. Fellows will sometimes take the form of humans or orcs and go to the city or bazaar to exchange gold coins for candy to eat, like the daughters of the golden dragons...... I can't remember what it's called, anyway, I heard that it's a beautiful golden she-dragon, who often turns into a human girl to kidnap a human boy, and then comes to the door to extort ransom, demanding that the other party pay enough honey before releasing people. If it weren't for the fact that there is really not much sugar in various countries, everyone would do the same. ”

Nidhogg finished licking his fingers and looked at Roland.

"Speaking of which, the hearing is over, what are you going to do next?"

"Uh......"

After biting down on the sweet orange slice and swallowing it, Roland turned his head to the side in confusion and wariness, looking at Nidhogg, who was suddenly concerned about his future. (To be continued.) )
