Chapter 4 Chapter One
"...Therefore, as shown in the above example, if the relationship between the Dragon Soul Envoy and the dragon is understood in terms of the master-slave contract of human beings, there will be many difficulties. When the Dragon Soul Envoy says to the dragon: 'You are my faithful friend' At that time, it would be misunderstood if this sentence was heard to have the same meaning as what the king said to his hometown. However, because of the vague attitude displayed by the dragon spirit, many people regard the dragon and the dragon spirit as the same meaning. The relationship is mistaken for a master-slave relationship. Such a vague attitude of the Dragon Soul Envoy will cause disasters for themselves and Baizos in the future..."

"That's Longye! A real white dragon! Wow, so handsome!" "Hey, it's probably as pale as when you stepped on a snake one night, right?" "Shuky Nidfer! You bastard! Didn't I tell you not to mention that again?" I burst out laughing.Jamie jumped up, looking around, afraid of being overheard. This girl is real.If you step on a snake, you will step on a snake. Why did you suddenly lean on me?Does she think that if she gets into my arms like this, she won't be kissed by me?I recalled the situation at that time and laughed again, this time with a slightly different meaning than before.Jemini immediately gave me a look with the expression of wanting to catch me and eat me, so I had to quickly divert my attention. "Look over there! Xiu Qi, over there, that child seems to be the Dragon Soul Envoy!" Unknowingly, Jemini cast her eyes on Bailong again.It's actually hard to take your eyes off there.I also looked in the direction Jemini pointed. Next to the white dragon was a young man who was riding a white horse slowly forward.A white horse walking beside a white dragon.That's pretty elegant to say the least.Besides, that boy was also wearing a white cloak.I snorted. "Dragon Soul Envoy doesn't have to worry about being eaten by a dragon, but that horse is really pitiful." "what?" "If you weren't brave enough, how could you walk side by side with the dragon like this?" "Yeah? That's how it is." "Then what else can I do. The only thing I can blame is that it was born white. So I had to obediently walk beside the white dragon with the eyes of 'you don't want to eat me, do you?'" "Haha, Xiu Qi. You are really playing tricks." "Hahaha! You bastard. Do you really talk like that?" Hearing what I said, the adults next to me and Jamie bent over laughing, while I spit. If the white dragon in my words is replaced by a nobleman, and the white horse is replaced by a commoner, that is an obvious metaphor.It's just that the people in our village are too simple, and no one can understand what I say.Fuck him, am I abnormal?In fact, our lord has a very good heart, and is not at all like the lords in the story who abused civilians. Jemini smiled, and tiptoed around again.It seemed to be blocked by the crowds around.What the hell is she doing when everyone else is growing taller?I smacked my lips and grabbed Jemini's waist.Jemini glared at me, and I took a deep breath. "Don't think about it, Jamie." Then I lifted Jemini over her right shoulder so she could see a little better through the gaps between the adults around her.Jemini blushed, but she didn't ask me to let her go. "Can you see it more clearly?" "Hmm... Take a closer look, that Dragon Soul Envoy seems to be less than ten years old?" "Go. Whether you can be a Dragon Soul Envoy has nothing to do with age. From the dragon's point of view, whether it's a five-year-old kid or an eighty-year-old sage, they are just children." The grown-ups around looked at me with surprised eyes, and Jemini, who was suddenly surrounded by people's eyes, seemed a little at a loss.She squirmed from shyness, and I felt it all. I ignored the situation around me and continued to look ahead. In any case, the sight was magnificent.No matter how you look at the huge white dragon, it seems to be more than 300 cubits from head to tail.Simply put, the head and neck are 100 cubits long, the body is 100 cubits long, and the tail is also about 100 cubits long, right?Because the dragon is walking on the ground, the wings are folded, but obviously, the length of the wings and the head is in the golden ratio.It has traveled to this place from far away, but its head is still straight and majestic to the sky.How can such a huge creature move so gracefully?Cows and horses sometimes feel that their heads are heavy, but dragons, which should be heavier, do not hang their necks down.Even humans occasionally shuffle, but dragons walk with the lightness of a deer.The dragon walks ahead of the crowd with the lightness of its rapid flight in the sky. Beside Long was the young boy on a horse walking, even if I was given a thousand sells, I didn't want to run to that seat.Neither the horse nor the cloak nor the clothes he was wearing seemed too big for him.Of course, the boy's responsibility is also very heavy.The boy seemed to be very tired from the long journey, and he didn't pay much attention to the people who came here to welcome him.No, rather he seemed a little shy. Some distance behind them, several knights and some soldiers followed.They seemed to be soldiers from the capital to protect the dragon and the Dragon Soul Envoy.As I said before, the horse walked helplessly beside the dragon, and there was no need for the soldiers to do so.So they follow far behind, and you can hardly even tell that they are with the dragon in front. The crowd who had watched the dragon with bated breath did not burst into cheers until then. "Long live Dragon Soul Envoy Harshtel!" "Long live Harshtel!" Hearing people calling his name, the boy lowered his head even further, almost getting into his collar.What did you say long live?It's ridiculous to shout long live to a kid who is less than ten years old.Just shout "Thank you Lord Ron!" Forget it. "Long live the great Ronka Saipulai!" "Long live Casepple!" How ridiculous would that dragon have thought if he knew the meaning of the word "Long live" that was shouted at him? Anyway, the dragon's name seems to be Kasai Plai, and the name of the dragon spirit imp here seems to be Harshtel.Those poor peasants in our poor village cannot be so clear about the affairs of the outside world.Those from the lord's town must have been the first to shout, followed by the winking villagers around.Maybe they forgot those names again before they left today. "Amtat must be eliminated!" "Get rid of Amtat!" I shivered for a moment. Amtat.People will never forget the name.So at this time, the shouts of the villagers were at least partly from their hearts.Even to my own surprise, I waved and shouted with everyone. "Kill the damn Amtat! Kill it!" Because of my excitement, Jemini almost fell off.Jemini was startled and grabbed my hair. I woke up suddenly and quickly supported her. "Ah, sorry, Jamie." "Let me go!" Jemini yelled angrily, and I obediently let her down.She complained and pinched my arm. "You did it on purpose! Right?" I was confused by her and turned my head away.I covered Jemini's mouth and started whispering to her. "Hush! Shh! Jamie, be quiet! Dragons love little girls. Don't do anything to catch their eyes!" Jamie's eyes widened.I made a frightening expression, and said cruelly: "Because it chews very well... so in other situations, it may swallow people in one bite, but a little girl like you, it may chew slowly and eat with relish! Especially the red-haired little girl……" Just as I expected, Jemini started shaking and hid behind me.Because she ran behind me, she couldn't see my smirk. Bailong didn't know that he was blamed for my joke, so he still walked quietly.He is so cool.Such a powerful and scary-looking guy actually obeys the orders of the little devil next to him, which is somehow so cool that people feel a little at a loss. After a while, the long procession disappeared on the steep slope of the hill where the lord's city was located.People gradually dispersed, or a few people gathered to chat. "Our lord should be able to sleep tonight, right?" "That's right. Hehe. With such a dragon in the backyard, I should be able to sleep well." I laughed when I heard what the adults said.But at that time, there was a sentence that irritated my ears. "That's great. If it's that powerful, Amtat will be dead." "Yeah. The Amtat guy." Amtat, Amtat! Every time I hear this name, I feel cold all over my body.At the same time, however, my head would heat up like a fire.Amtat, that damned guy!It should be stuffed into the dung heap to eat shit, and beat him hard for three and a half months... Huh?Why do I keep talking like this?All the swear words I can think of have been said in front of children by adults in this village without considering the education of the next generation. There were sparks in my eyes.Jemini startled and grabbed my arm. "Shu Qi?" "Ah, Jamie. Let's go. The sun's going down soon." "Yeah. Okay. Wow! It was so cool just now." Jamie put her hands on her chest and took a deep breath. I moved my mouth to Jamie's ear. "Didn't I just say that dragons like to eat little red-haired girls like you? They like it so much? When you were hiding behind me just now, that dragon was still drooling at you. Didn't you see it?" Jamie screamed loudly.Probably besides our lord, there is one more person who can't sleep tonight. I ended up regretting scaring Jamie. She said that even if she was killed, she would not dare to go alone, so she could only hold on to my arm and walk slowly, so even though I was not very good, I still had to pretend to be a knight to escort her back.Jemini's family is in charge of guarding the forest for the lord, so it is a little away from the village, and it is in the forest.But what I doubt the most is how Jemini, who was born and raised in the forest, dare not go into the forest after the sun goes down.Jemini looked at the setting sun and the sky full of colorful clouds, and her expression showed that she was worried: what should she do if it gets dark halfway through? "Hey, girl! Don't tell me that you are seventeen years old and still dare not go home by yourself!" "How dare you say it! Who the hell scared me?" I scratched my head and started to walk forward quickly. Jemini, afraid of being alone, had to follow closely.
On the way to Jemini's house, it occurred to me to drop by Carl's house.On the one hand, it was a pleasure to visit Carl, on the other hand, I was also curious why he didn't come out to watch the excitement.I changed direction so suddenly that Jemini jumped and grabbed my arm. "You, where are you going?" "You can go a little further and you will be there. Go back by yourself." "Are you going to see Carl?" "Ok." "Then let's go together. On the return journey, you must send me to the door of the house." Calanbel, who protects elves and pure maidens!What on earth are you thinking, how did you give this young girl the ability to play tricks indiscriminately?I would speak in these two different tones that I had learned from Carl and that I had grown up with.Sometimes the things I say startle me even when I hear them.As is the case now. I didn't say anything, just walked forward, and Jemini followed me as if she had already promised me. Carl's house is in a clearing at the edge of the forest. He neither farms nor raises livestock.Nothing to sell either.In addition, not only did he not pay taxes, he did not even participate in the few days of hard labor that he had to serve for the lord in a year.Even so, he brewed his own wine, traded it for bread, read a book, and lived a leisurely life.This was always a mystery to Jemini, so she was a little afraid of Carl. As we got closer to Carl's house, the sound of the ax was becoming more and more distinct. After a while, a clearing appeared before our eyes.We see a middle-aged man of medium build, brown hair, and a kind-looking face.If you met him on the street, you would never remember him, just such an ordinary man chopping down trees. "Brother Niederfer, are you here?" Karl put down the ax and made a happy expression.This is another incredible thing for Jamie.As the daughter of the lord's forest ranger, Jeminy still couldn't understand how Karl could chop the firewood here without his father's permission.Jemini bowed to him with a wary look. "Hello, Carl." I also greeted kindly. "You're so lazy, Carl. You don't start chopping firewood for the evening until the sun goes down." "Hahaha, brother Niederfer. That's not the only way to be really lazy. Because you find chopping wood very annoying, you sleep while shaking while shaking, that's called laziness. Long time no see, Miss Smetag." That's why even though Jemini was a little afraid of Karl, she still came to him like this.To call her Miss Smetag?Whether it's her parents or the people in the village, most of them call her Jamie, at most called Jamie, but Karl can remember Jamie's surname, which I often forget, and call her that. Really great.Jamie smiled.Oh, it's really disgusting. "Stop talking nonsense. Where can I find such a lazy person?" "Yes, brother Niederfa. There is such a lazy fellow among my friends. Because he doesn't want to chop wood, he sleeps trembling like this, and then he catches a cold and almost dies." "Hey, who died of a cold? The more you say it, the more outrageous it is." "You little guy is really hard to deal with. The grown-ups can't make sense to you at all. Hehe, come in. Miss Smetag? It's really rude to let her stand here when a beautiful lady comes to visit." "Then I will follow orders." Jemini replied with an elegant and delicate voice.God, goosebumps all over the floor! As soon as we entered the hut, the afterglow of the sun disappeared completely behind the horizon.So Carl lights the candles on the table in the center of the room, and Jemini makes an exaggerated glare.Speaking of which, if you want to see candles, if you don't go to the lord's city, or to my house that owns a candle shop, where else can you go? After Karl sat us down, he lit the fireplace and walked over to the bookcase, which contained more wine bottles than books.Books that should be in the bookcase are scattered on the floor or on the bed. He took the bottle and glasses, put them in front of us, and started pouring. "Raise your glass, brother Niederfer. This is cider. It should be ready. Miss Smetag." It wouldn't be surprising if Jemini's family saw the situation like this.My house is similar. But the two of us still pretended to drink often and raised our glasses.Occasionally, I would ask Mitty, the youngest in the brewery, for some distiller's lees to eat, but Jemini had almost never touched alcohol, so she deliberately put on a calm expression. Carl filled his own glass too, and thought for a while what he would say when he toasted. "Well... well, that's good, let's toast to the eternal love of this pair of young men and women..." "Carl!" My cry sounded a little miserable.Carl opened his eyes wide and said: "Huh? Don't you like it? Well then, let's toast to the next generation who are born with courage and beauty..." Jemini's whole body began to contort.Her eyes were mixed with fierce criticism, as if to say: How can a lady like her get involved with a rascal like me?I am really wronged to death. At that time, a thought suddenly flashed in my mind. "Cheers to the demise of Amtat!" Carl immediately closed his mouth tightly, his expression became very serious.Jemini was also disturbed by the sudden change in the atmosphere. After a while, Carl let out a breath and smiled again. "Is that so. Well, I get it. I didn't know you had such determination. When are you going to set off? The unparalleled Niedfa is going to destroy the notorious Amtat and earn a reputation as a dragon slayer ..." "what?" "Huh? Isn't it? And Miss Smetag?" "Puff, puff chi, puff ha ha ha ha!" Jamie started laughing like crazy, and I laughed too.Carl smiled and brought the glass to his lips.If I continue to say I want to drink like this, maybe I don’t even need to drink alcohol, so I also took a sip of wine. In an instant, the earlobes and the sides of the neck became hot, and the breath became hotter.I blinked a few times.Carl looked at me with a smile, then asked softly in a nonchalant tone: "I heard that the Dragon Soul Envoy is here?" "Yes, Karl. Phew! They're here to kill Amtat." Jemini finally stopped laughing and took a sip of wine naturally.No, it should be said that it was very natural until the moment the wine glass was brought to her mouth, and then she saw her cheeks swell.She clearly swallowed it with difficulty. "Hiss, hiss, hiss! Cough. Well, that's a nice drink, Karl." "Thank you, Miss Smetag." I smiled and went on to Carl: "Why don't you come to watch the fun?" "I can't go because I have to chop firewood. How about it? Isn't it spectacular?" "That's right. The Dragon Soul Envoy seems to be only six or seven years old, and the dragon is a terrifyingly large white dragon." "Let me guess, okay? The white dragon you're talking about should be Kasaiple, right?" Jemini made a look of surprise, but I wasn't too surprised, but happy.Carl smiled warmly and leaned back in the chair. "And that kid's surname isn't Hashtel, right?" He got it wrong.I looked at him suspiciously and said: "Hashtel should be right?" Carl's eyes opened wide, then closed for a moment.With his eyes closed, he brought the glass to his lips correctly.After taking a sip, Carl opened his eyes and smiled. "When teenagers and girls go to see their elders, in order to let them know that their past years have not been wasted, the elders must open their scrolls of wisdom and show them." I suddenly became nervous. "Would you like to tell us a funny story?" "...It is said that they are the successors of the Harshtel family. Does this mean that their family continues to inherit the blood of the Dragon Soul Envoy?" Karl seemed to be talking to himself, and then burst out laughing. "What nonsense." "You say this is nonsense?" "It must be someone who captured a child with the qualifications of a dragon soul envoy from somewhere, and let him inherit the Harshtel family, brother Niederfa." Carl spoke as if it had happened in his family, and insisted so with great confidence.It's really inexplicable. "What is your reason for making such a judgment?" Speaking in this way, I was so excited that I became one of the sages discussing mainland affairs.In particular, Jemini didn't dare to interrupt at all, and could only look at me with admiration, which really made me feel very happy. Karl let the candlelight shine on the glass and whispered: "This is just the result of simple addition and subtraction. The Harshtel family agreed that the time limit for producing Dragon Soul Envoys is 300 years. It has been 15 years since the last 300 years passed. Nieder brother, you said that the kid is only six or seven years old, right? So if that kid has the blood of the Hashtel family, he can’t be the Dragon Soul Envoy.” "Three hundred years? What's going on?" "Hey, brother Nieder, brother Nieder! If you have time to search for bird's nests, go read some books!" Therefore, the sage who discussed mainland affairs disappeared without a trace, leaving only a naughty kid who searched for bird's nests.Jamie started giggling, and I blushed. Carl continued with a friendly smile: "It turns out that you don't even know the history of your own country. Three hundred years ago, no, three hundred and fifteen years ago, it was the first year of the founding of our country, wasn't it? During the glorious Seven Weeks War, the Dragon King asked the Duke of Hastel It was agreed that their family would have the bloodline of Dragon Soul Envoys. Therefore, their family has maintained a friendship with dragons for three hundred years, and future generations will be born with the qualifications of Dragon Soul Envoys. Do you know?" I'm confused, and Jemini doesn't seem to understand anything.Carl found that neither of his audience understood, so he began to speak more simply. "Well...Miss Smetag. When did we, Byzos, establish our country?" "Ah, it was during the glorious Seven Weeks War, when the King repelled the Dragon King who crossed the dark plain." "You really have the breeding that matches your temperament, Miss Smetag." Jemini's look at that moment was... I can't say it.Who doesn't know about this? "Although King Lutanio, who founded the country, repelled the Dragon King on the last day of the Seven Weeks of Glory, he was also seriously injured and could no longer hold his sword. At that time, Duke Harshtel rescued the Dragon King. Therefore, the Dragon King Bless my savior, Duke Harshtel." I interrupted hastily. "The content of the blessing is that within three hundred years in their family, Dragon Soul Envoys will continue to appear?" "That's right, brother Niederfa. When His Majesty Yeline, the fourth generation king, conquered the north, the Harshtel family also began to submit to His Majesty. Not only did His Majesty Yeline not perish Hashiel who disobeyed King Lutanio The Xiutail family, on the contrary, is satisfied with accepting the oath of the master-slave relationship. Dragon soul ambassadors are very rare, aren't they? So it is a pity to exterminate the family that has produced dragon soul ambassadors for generations. And what if there is no dragon soul ambassador around? , it is also very dangerous for those dragons to go berserk." Carl's profound knowledge fascinated Jemini, who was stunned.I ask a question. "Has three hundred years passed?" "Yeah. So that's where things got interesting." Both Jemini and I became nervous and turned our bodies away.Karl also seemed to be attending some secret important meeting, leaning forward and speaking in a low voice.If the schmoozing of a candlemaker's son, a forester's daughter, and a loafer can be called an important meeting. "Compared with other founding hero families, the Harshtel family was originally a rebel, right? But just because of the reason that Dragon Soul Envoys were born from generation to generation, they have always enjoyed wealth and glory. If the Harshtel family doesn't What will happen if the Dragon Soul Envoy appears again?" "Aha? So I went to find my adopted son?" "That's right. It must be to forcefully adopt a child born in a poor family with the qualifications of a dragon soul envoy. No, wait a minute, correct my words. It would be more correct to say that it is better to buy a child? Anyway, if it is not from a poor family , probably won’t agree to let the child out.” "Using money to buy an adopted son?" "Probably. Although the period agreed by the Dragon King has ended, they want to capture the Dragon Soul Envoys and reshape the bloodline of the Dragon Soul Envoys. It's like capturing excellent stallions and mares as stallions." Carl said it with a biting sarcasm.Jemini drank another sip of wine without fear, and said with an unhappy expression: "These people are despicable..." "Yes, Miss Smetag. The power they have enjoyed for three hundred years is not enough, and they want to extend it further, so they took the child from the poor parents and adopted it as their own. But it's not good. It's good for the kids, and even for the parents. Let's put it another way: Isn't it better to be an adopted child of the Harshtel family than to be in poverty?" I unconsciously said: "Everywhere, there are some lucky guys." Carl stared at me. "Are you envious, brother Niederfa?" "Honestly speaking, it would be a lie to say that you are not envious." "You are not too young, Niederfa, and you know how to observe all kinds of things around you. But it is really pitiful that a child who is only six or seven years old is taken away from his parents and has to call someone he doesn't know to be a parent." thing." "Go! I guess in five years, tell those guys to go back to the hut where they lived, and they will definitely kill them." My tone became more and more intense.Jemini looked skeptical, while Carl just smiled calmly.
Calanbell, who protects pure girls and elves... Alas, I am also sorry for calling you so many times today.But what on earth are you thinking about this girl on my back now, giving her such a reckless heart, and letting her drink like this? Walking on the path in the forest with Jemini on my back, I really wanted to use my breastfeeding strength. Carl's homemade cider is delicious, but really strong.It tasted like apple cider at first, so it's lucky that Jemini didn't pass out on the spot.Nor can I say that I am fully sober.I staggered forward as I tried not to let Jemini fall off. The sun had already set, and it was dark in the forest.Because it is a forest where I have played since childhood, even if I am a little drunk, I can move forward with confidence.But really hard.In particular, Jeminy on the back would burst out from time to time, making ghostly laughter of "hee hee hee hee", which annoyed me very much, and it was almost unbearable. "Hee hee hee hee hee hee!" "Stop laughing!" "Meow, it's so funny, meow~" "what?" "I don't know. It's just funny. Hehehe." Ahhh!This dead girl, don't you want to leave her here? Who cares if the wolf will come?Then Jemini held my ear and said to me: "Let me go!" "You should go home right away, drink some cold water and go to sleep." "If I go back like this, I will definitely be beaten to death." Ok.This is also true.It seems better to go back after sobering up.I put Jemini down and sat down as if passed out.Jamie leaned towards me too, and we were seated side by side against a tree. "Hey! After you are ten years old, do you only gain weight but not height?" My whole body was sticky with sweat.There was a dead leaf stuck to my face, so I removed it.Jemini squirmed closer to me, raised my arm, and placed it on her shoulder naturally.That means she got under my armpit. "Is it cold, Jamie?" "he he he he he!" "..." She leaned on my armpit while I cursed silently to the sky. "It's funny. Meow, that Dragon Soul Envoy." "What's so funny?" Of course the answer is definitely not my armpits. "Isn't it funny?" "What the hell is so funny?" "Funny!" "...Look! What's that in front of you?" "Mom!" Ever since Jamie was walking on the village road when she was a child and saw the lord's old dog yawning, she would suddenly lean on me like this every time.I smiled haha, while Jemini looked at me in a daze, with tears in her eyes, as if she didn't understand the current situation. "Isn't it funnier to talk about it?" "Shuki Nidfa! You!" "Are you sober after drinking?" Jemini sighed the scent of apples and left my side.But not long after, when voices came from the forest, she leaned over again. "Then, what is that?" "That's it. It's the wind." "Do you think it's the wind that I can't hear?" For a moment I looked at Jamie in panic.Although she is a coward who dare not come out of the house at night, she is obviously the daughter of the forest guard, born and raised in the forest.If she said it wasn't the wind, it definitely wasn't. Her guess was correct.After a while, the surroundings seemed to suddenly light up, and human voices were also heard.Footsteps, murmurs, and clanging. The last one refers to the sound made by a man with a sword walking. I stood up suddenly.I did wrong.My eyes were spinning, and my legs were weak.I held on to the tree and managed not to fall down.Jemini also stood up and hid behind me.I asked her to stand between me and the tree, and then observe the situation ahead.A fire could be seen flickering in the woods.A group of people were clearly walking in the forest holding torches. "Difficult, is it a bandit?" I have the utmost respect for Jamie's imagination. "Then they are really a new type of bandits. The name is probably the Torch Gang?" Holding such a bright torch and making random noises, even if the sun came out in the west, it would not be a bandit.After Jemini understood what I said, her expression softened a little.Humph.This is the forest owned by the lord, and behind me is the daughter of the forest manager who belongs to the lord. As far as I am concerned, as long as these people are not bandits, I have nothing to fear... "Hey, if you are found, you will die!" "what?" "Aren't the two of us already drunk? If you tell your parents..." "Alas!" Jemini immediately made a pose to climb the tree.Please, how could she have such an idea?As I had expected, Jamie, now that she was drunk, would eventually realize that she couldn't climb the tree. And it was only after he fell from the tree and fell to the ground screaming.God, the one who protects the pure girls and elves... I really can't stand it now. "who is it?" We hear the hurried footsteps of men, timed to match the sound of their swords being drawn from their scabbards. Once we heard the sound of steel, we were as if we were frozen and did not dare to move.All of a sudden, we were surrounded by soldiers with torches in one hand and swords in the other. "Wandering in the forest owned by the lord in the middle of the night, what the hell are you—eh, what's going on? Xiuqi, Jemini?" Jemini and I had no choice but to adopt the most appropriate attitude in this situation. "Hey hey..." The people who appeared were all lord soldiers in hard leather armor.They all put their swords back into their scabbards with ridiculous expressions, and their leader, Shanson Fisher, walked over with a sneer.He is the son of a blacksmith in the city, and now he is the captain of the guard. He is very familiar with me, the son of a candlemaker who has to go to the city to pay candles.Although he is ten years older than me, not only wielding a long sword, but also commanding soldiers, but his heart is not the same as mine, he is still a naughty boy. He walked towards me smiling, then suddenly frowned. "Huh? What are you doing, have you been drinking?" "Hey Hey……" Shan Sen looked at me and Jemini in turn, and then made a weird smile, which made me very uneasy. "Well, Xiu Qi. It turns out that you have also started to do this. Where did you get the money to buy wine? Should this be the power of love, or the power of desire? Anyway, you finally got the wine , and then got Jemini drunk. You are so cowardly. It seems that if you don't get her drunk first, you don't have confidence?" "This is a misunderstanding!" Few people heard Jemini's screams, because they were completely covered by the laughter of the surrounding soldiers.This matter can't just be left alone, I made up my mind, this time I should make Shan Sen very uneasy.Not long ago, the weird smile on the corner of Shan Sen's mouth appeared on my face this time. "The grinding sound of the waterwheel mill outside the city is really loud..." Shan Sen immediately interrupted me. "Dangerous night, why are you still wandering outside? Hmph, hurry up and go home!" "Today there is another girl, avoiding people's sight, and heading to the mill." "Shu Qi!" This time the soldier next to him smiled at Shan Sen.And some of them ran up to me and said to me in a sincere tone: "Go ahead...please." "The girl reflected in the moonlight, those familiar footsteps." Shan Sen tried to rush to me, but the soldiers immediately held him back.Shan Sen stomped his feet anxiously, but the three soldiers held him tightly and laughed. "This is an act of rebellion! Let me go!" "It's funny. You're so noisy, Shansen. Isn't this song good?" Hmm.The military discipline of our guard is really strict. "The breeze blew past the girl, and the familiar fragrance came." "Xiu Qi! This guy! Mom! Dad! Grandpa!" I pretended not to hear Shan Sen's anxious cry, and continued to sing easily.Even Jemini looked at Shan Sen and sneered, while the soldiers gulped.Perhaps because of the drink, I was more outspoken than usual. "Is it the smell of dishes in the kitchen? The smell of soap in the laundry? Or the smell of wine in the storeroom?" "Is it Margarita from the kitchen? If it comes to the laundry, it must be the blond Ann. Speaking of the storage, is it that Kratis?" The soldiers immediately began to exchange opinions.I believe that even at the time of the glorious Seven Weeks War, the battle meeting held between King Lutanio and Eight Stars was not as heated as it is now.I pretended to be garlic on purpose and continued to sing. "It's definitely one of the three. That, that... the scent is..." The soldiers looked at me with shortness of breath, while Shan Sen's face turned blue and then pale, almost crying.I probably won't be able to get close to Shan Sen within a month.But at this moment; "Huh? What kind of fragrance is this?" The soldiers all made puzzled expressions, but it had nothing to do with me.It was a distinctly unique, yet familiar scent.Then Jemini blinked and said: “好像是花香……但不知是什么花？” 士兵们都搞不清状况地互相对看。 “大概是我身上发出的香味吧。” 一个六七岁左右的小孩穿过树林，向我们走来。我虽然有些醉，但还是觉得这个小孩有点眼熟。比起我来说，杰米妮更清楚地认出了这个人是谁。 “龙魂使！” 一群不平凡的人的到来，打破了小镇的宁静。其中更让人们惊讶的是在这个队伍中还有另外一种生物——白龙。他的主人骑着白马走在白龙的旁边，他看起来很年轻，可能还不到十岁。突然有人用响亮的声音打破了死沉的气氛：“他就是龙魂使。”
"That's Longye! A real white dragon! Wow, so handsome!" "Hey, it's probably as pale as when you stepped on a snake one night, right?" "Shuky Nidfer! You bastard! Didn't I tell you not to mention that again?" I burst out laughing.Jamie jumped up, looking around, afraid of being overheard. This girl is real.If you step on a snake, you will step on a snake. Why did you suddenly lean on me?Does she think that if she gets into my arms like this, she won't be kissed by me?I recalled the situation at that time and laughed again, this time with a slightly different meaning than before.Jemini immediately gave me a look with the expression of wanting to catch me and eat me, so I had to quickly divert my attention. "Look over there! Xiu Qi, over there, that child seems to be the Dragon Soul Envoy!" Unknowingly, Jemini cast her eyes on Bailong again.It's actually hard to take your eyes off there.I also looked in the direction Jemini pointed. Next to the white dragon was a young man who was riding a white horse slowly forward.A white horse walking beside a white dragon.That's pretty elegant to say the least.Besides, that boy was also wearing a white cloak.I snorted. "Dragon Soul Envoy doesn't have to worry about being eaten by a dragon, but that horse is really pitiful." "what?" "If you weren't brave enough, how could you walk side by side with the dragon like this?" "Yeah? That's how it is." "Then what else can I do. The only thing I can blame is that it was born white. So I had to obediently walk beside the white dragon with the eyes of 'you don't want to eat me, do you?'" "Haha, Xiu Qi. You are really playing tricks." "Hahaha! You bastard. Do you really talk like that?" Hearing what I said, the adults next to me and Jamie bent over laughing, while I spit. If the white dragon in my words is replaced by a nobleman, and the white horse is replaced by a commoner, that is an obvious metaphor.It's just that the people in our village are too simple, and no one can understand what I say.Fuck him, am I abnormal?In fact, our lord has a very good heart, and is not at all like the lords in the story who abused civilians. Jemini smiled, and tiptoed around again.It seemed to be blocked by the crowds around.What the hell is she doing when everyone else is growing taller?I smacked my lips and grabbed Jemini's waist.Jemini glared at me, and I took a deep breath. "Don't think about it, Jamie." Then I lifted Jemini over her right shoulder so she could see a little better through the gaps between the adults around her.Jemini blushed, but she didn't ask me to let her go. "Can you see it more clearly?" "Hmm... Take a closer look, that Dragon Soul Envoy seems to be less than ten years old?" "Go. Whether you can be a Dragon Soul Envoy has nothing to do with age. From the dragon's point of view, whether it's a five-year-old kid or an eighty-year-old sage, they are just children." The grown-ups around looked at me with surprised eyes, and Jemini, who was suddenly surrounded by people's eyes, seemed a little at a loss.She squirmed from shyness, and I felt it all. I ignored the situation around me and continued to look ahead. In any case, the sight was magnificent.No matter how you look at the huge white dragon, it seems to be more than 300 cubits from head to tail.Simply put, the head and neck are 100 cubits long, the body is 100 cubits long, and the tail is also about 100 cubits long, right?Because the dragon is walking on the ground, the wings are folded, but obviously, the length of the wings and the head is in the golden ratio.It has traveled to this place from far away, but its head is still straight and majestic to the sky.How can such a huge creature move so gracefully?Cows and horses sometimes feel that their heads are heavy, but dragons, which should be heavier, do not hang their necks down.Even humans occasionally shuffle, but dragons walk with the lightness of a deer.The dragon walks ahead of the crowd with the lightness of its rapid flight in the sky. Beside Long was the young boy on a horse walking, even if I was given a thousand sells, I didn't want to run to that seat.Neither the horse nor the cloak nor the clothes he was wearing seemed too big for him.Of course, the boy's responsibility is also very heavy.The boy seemed to be very tired from the long journey, and he didn't pay much attention to the people who came here to welcome him.No, rather he seemed a little shy. Some distance behind them, several knights and some soldiers followed.They seemed to be soldiers from the capital to protect the dragon and the Dragon Soul Envoy.As I said before, the horse walked helplessly beside the dragon, and there was no need for the soldiers to do so.So they follow far behind, and you can hardly even tell that they are with the dragon in front. The crowd who had watched the dragon with bated breath did not burst into cheers until then. "Long live Dragon Soul Envoy Harshtel!" "Long live Harshtel!" Hearing people calling his name, the boy lowered his head even further, almost getting into his collar.What did you say long live?It's ridiculous to shout long live to a kid who is less than ten years old.Just shout "Thank you Lord Ron!" Forget it. "Long live the great Ronka Saipulai!" "Long live Casepple!" How ridiculous would that dragon have thought if he knew the meaning of the word "Long live" that was shouted at him? Anyway, the dragon's name seems to be Kasai Plai, and the name of the dragon spirit imp here seems to be Harshtel.Those poor peasants in our poor village cannot be so clear about the affairs of the outside world.Those from the lord's town must have been the first to shout, followed by the winking villagers around.Maybe they forgot those names again before they left today. "Amtat must be eliminated!" "Get rid of Amtat!" I shivered for a moment. Amtat.People will never forget the name.So at this time, the shouts of the villagers were at least partly from their hearts.Even to my own surprise, I waved and shouted with everyone. "Kill the damn Amtat! Kill it!" Because of my excitement, Jemini almost fell off.Jemini was startled and grabbed my hair. I woke up suddenly and quickly supported her. "Ah, sorry, Jamie." "Let me go!" Jemini yelled angrily, and I obediently let her down.She complained and pinched my arm. "You did it on purpose! Right?" I was confused by her and turned my head away.I covered Jemini's mouth and started whispering to her. "Hush! Shh! Jamie, be quiet! Dragons love little girls. Don't do anything to catch their eyes!" Jamie's eyes widened.I made a frightening expression, and said cruelly: "Because it chews very well... so in other situations, it may swallow people in one bite, but a little girl like you, it may chew slowly and eat with relish! Especially the red-haired little girl……" Just as I expected, Jemini started shaking and hid behind me.Because she ran behind me, she couldn't see my smirk. Bailong didn't know that he was blamed for my joke, so he still walked quietly.He is so cool.Such a powerful and scary-looking guy actually obeys the orders of the little devil next to him, which is somehow so cool that people feel a little at a loss. After a while, the long procession disappeared on the steep slope of the hill where the lord's city was located.People gradually dispersed, or a few people gathered to chat. "Our lord should be able to sleep tonight, right?" "That's right. Hehe. With such a dragon in the backyard, I should be able to sleep well." I laughed when I heard what the adults said.But at that time, there was a sentence that irritated my ears. "That's great. If it's that powerful, Amtat will be dead." "Yeah. The Amtat guy." Amtat, Amtat! Every time I hear this name, I feel cold all over my body.At the same time, however, my head would heat up like a fire.Amtat, that damned guy!It should be stuffed into the dung heap to eat shit, and beat him hard for three and a half months... Huh?Why do I keep talking like this?All the swear words I can think of have been said in front of children by adults in this village without considering the education of the next generation. There were sparks in my eyes.Jemini startled and grabbed my arm. "Shu Qi?" "Ah, Jamie. Let's go. The sun's going down soon." "Yeah. Okay. Wow! It was so cool just now." Jamie put her hands on her chest and took a deep breath. I moved my mouth to Jamie's ear. "Didn't I just say that dragons like to eat little red-haired girls like you? They like it so much? When you were hiding behind me just now, that dragon was still drooling at you. Didn't you see it?" Jamie screamed loudly.Probably besides our lord, there is one more person who can't sleep tonight. I ended up regretting scaring Jamie. She said that even if she was killed, she would not dare to go alone, so she could only hold on to my arm and walk slowly, so even though I was not very good, I still had to pretend to be a knight to escort her back.Jemini's family is in charge of guarding the forest for the lord, so it is a little away from the village, and it is in the forest.But what I doubt the most is how Jemini, who was born and raised in the forest, dare not go into the forest after the sun goes down.Jemini looked at the setting sun and the sky full of colorful clouds, and her expression showed that she was worried: what should she do if it gets dark halfway through? "Hey, girl! Don't tell me that you are seventeen years old and still dare not go home by yourself!" "How dare you say it! Who the hell scared me?" I scratched my head and started to walk forward quickly. Jemini, afraid of being alone, had to follow closely.
On the way to Jemini's house, it occurred to me to drop by Carl's house.On the one hand, it was a pleasure to visit Carl, on the other hand, I was also curious why he didn't come out to watch the excitement.I changed direction so suddenly that Jemini jumped and grabbed my arm. "You, where are you going?" "You can go a little further and you will be there. Go back by yourself." "Are you going to see Carl?" "Ok." "Then let's go together. On the return journey, you must send me to the door of the house." Calanbel, who protects elves and pure maidens!What on earth are you thinking, how did you give this young girl the ability to play tricks indiscriminately?I would speak in these two different tones that I had learned from Carl and that I had grown up with.Sometimes the things I say startle me even when I hear them.As is the case now. I didn't say anything, just walked forward, and Jemini followed me as if she had already promised me. Carl's house is in a clearing at the edge of the forest. He neither farms nor raises livestock.Nothing to sell either.In addition, not only did he not pay taxes, he did not even participate in the few days of hard labor that he had to serve for the lord in a year.Even so, he brewed his own wine, traded it for bread, read a book, and lived a leisurely life.This was always a mystery to Jemini, so she was a little afraid of Carl. As we got closer to Carl's house, the sound of the ax was becoming more and more distinct. After a while, a clearing appeared before our eyes.We see a middle-aged man of medium build, brown hair, and a kind-looking face.If you met him on the street, you would never remember him, just such an ordinary man chopping down trees. "Brother Niederfer, are you here?" Karl put down the ax and made a happy expression.This is another incredible thing for Jamie.As the daughter of the lord's forest ranger, Jeminy still couldn't understand how Karl could chop the firewood here without his father's permission.Jemini bowed to him with a wary look. "Hello, Carl." I also greeted kindly. "You're so lazy, Carl. You don't start chopping firewood for the evening until the sun goes down." "Hahaha, brother Niederfer. That's not the only way to be really lazy. Because you find chopping wood very annoying, you sleep while shaking while shaking, that's called laziness. Long time no see, Miss Smetag." That's why even though Jemini was a little afraid of Karl, she still came to him like this.To call her Miss Smetag?Whether it's her parents or the people in the village, most of them call her Jamie, at most called Jamie, but Karl can remember Jamie's surname, which I often forget, and call her that. Really great.Jamie smiled.Oh, it's really disgusting. "Stop talking nonsense. Where can I find such a lazy person?" "Yes, brother Niederfa. There is such a lazy fellow among my friends. Because he doesn't want to chop wood, he sleeps trembling like this, and then he catches a cold and almost dies." "Hey, who died of a cold? The more you say it, the more outrageous it is." "You little guy is really hard to deal with. The grown-ups can't make sense to you at all. Hehe, come in. Miss Smetag? It's really rude to let her stand here when a beautiful lady comes to visit." "Then I will follow orders." Jemini replied with an elegant and delicate voice.God, goosebumps all over the floor! As soon as we entered the hut, the afterglow of the sun disappeared completely behind the horizon.So Carl lights the candles on the table in the center of the room, and Jemini makes an exaggerated glare.Speaking of which, if you want to see candles, if you don't go to the lord's city, or to my house that owns a candle shop, where else can you go? After Karl sat us down, he lit the fireplace and walked over to the bookcase, which contained more wine bottles than books.Books that should be in the bookcase are scattered on the floor or on the bed. He took the bottle and glasses, put them in front of us, and started pouring. "Raise your glass, brother Niederfer. This is cider. It should be ready. Miss Smetag." It wouldn't be surprising if Jemini's family saw the situation like this.My house is similar. But the two of us still pretended to drink often and raised our glasses.Occasionally, I would ask Mitty, the youngest in the brewery, for some distiller's lees to eat, but Jemini had almost never touched alcohol, so she deliberately put on a calm expression. Carl filled his own glass too, and thought for a while what he would say when he toasted. "Well... well, that's good, let's toast to the eternal love of this pair of young men and women..." "Carl!" My cry sounded a little miserable.Carl opened his eyes wide and said: "Huh? Don't you like it? Well then, let's toast to the next generation who are born with courage and beauty..." Jemini's whole body began to contort.Her eyes were mixed with fierce criticism, as if to say: How can a lady like her get involved with a rascal like me?I am really wronged to death. At that time, a thought suddenly flashed in my mind. "Cheers to the demise of Amtat!" Carl immediately closed his mouth tightly, his expression became very serious.Jemini was also disturbed by the sudden change in the atmosphere. After a while, Carl let out a breath and smiled again. "Is that so. Well, I get it. I didn't know you had such determination. When are you going to set off? The unparalleled Niedfa is going to destroy the notorious Amtat and earn a reputation as a dragon slayer ..." "what?" "Huh? Isn't it? And Miss Smetag?" "Puff, puff chi, puff ha ha ha ha!" Jamie started laughing like crazy, and I laughed too.Carl smiled and brought the glass to his lips.If I continue to say I want to drink like this, maybe I don’t even need to drink alcohol, so I also took a sip of wine. In an instant, the earlobes and the sides of the neck became hot, and the breath became hotter.I blinked a few times.Carl looked at me with a smile, then asked softly in a nonchalant tone: "I heard that the Dragon Soul Envoy is here?" "Yes, Karl. Phew! They're here to kill Amtat." Jemini finally stopped laughing and took a sip of wine naturally.No, it should be said that it was very natural until the moment the wine glass was brought to her mouth, and then she saw her cheeks swell.She clearly swallowed it with difficulty. "Hiss, hiss, hiss! Cough. Well, that's a nice drink, Karl." "Thank you, Miss Smetag." I smiled and went on to Carl: "Why don't you come to watch the fun?" "I can't go because I have to chop firewood. How about it? Isn't it spectacular?" "That's right. The Dragon Soul Envoy seems to be only six or seven years old, and the dragon is a terrifyingly large white dragon." "Let me guess, okay? The white dragon you're talking about should be Kasaiple, right?" Jemini made a look of surprise, but I wasn't too surprised, but happy.Carl smiled warmly and leaned back in the chair. "And that kid's surname isn't Hashtel, right?" He got it wrong.I looked at him suspiciously and said: "Hashtel should be right?" Carl's eyes opened wide, then closed for a moment.With his eyes closed, he brought the glass to his lips correctly.After taking a sip, Carl opened his eyes and smiled. "When teenagers and girls go to see their elders, in order to let them know that their past years have not been wasted, the elders must open their scrolls of wisdom and show them." I suddenly became nervous. "Would you like to tell us a funny story?" "...It is said that they are the successors of the Harshtel family. Does this mean that their family continues to inherit the blood of the Dragon Soul Envoy?" Karl seemed to be talking to himself, and then burst out laughing. "What nonsense." "You say this is nonsense?" "It must be someone who captured a child with the qualifications of a dragon soul envoy from somewhere, and let him inherit the Harshtel family, brother Niederfa." Carl spoke as if it had happened in his family, and insisted so with great confidence.It's really inexplicable. "What is your reason for making such a judgment?" Speaking in this way, I was so excited that I became one of the sages discussing mainland affairs.In particular, Jemini didn't dare to interrupt at all, and could only look at me with admiration, which really made me feel very happy. Karl let the candlelight shine on the glass and whispered: "This is just the result of simple addition and subtraction. The Harshtel family agreed that the time limit for producing Dragon Soul Envoys is 300 years. It has been 15 years since the last 300 years passed. Nieder brother, you said that the kid is only six or seven years old, right? So if that kid has the blood of the Hashtel family, he can’t be the Dragon Soul Envoy.” "Three hundred years? What's going on?" "Hey, brother Nieder, brother Nieder! If you have time to search for bird's nests, go read some books!" Therefore, the sage who discussed mainland affairs disappeared without a trace, leaving only a naughty kid who searched for bird's nests.Jamie started giggling, and I blushed. Carl continued with a friendly smile: "It turns out that you don't even know the history of your own country. Three hundred years ago, no, three hundred and fifteen years ago, it was the first year of the founding of our country, wasn't it? During the glorious Seven Weeks War, the Dragon King asked the Duke of Hastel It was agreed that their family would have the bloodline of Dragon Soul Envoys. Therefore, their family has maintained a friendship with dragons for three hundred years, and future generations will be born with the qualifications of Dragon Soul Envoys. Do you know?" I'm confused, and Jemini doesn't seem to understand anything.Carl found that neither of his audience understood, so he began to speak more simply. "Well...Miss Smetag. When did we, Byzos, establish our country?" "Ah, it was during the glorious Seven Weeks War, when the King repelled the Dragon King who crossed the dark plain." "You really have the breeding that matches your temperament, Miss Smetag." Jemini's look at that moment was... I can't say it.Who doesn't know about this? "Although King Lutanio, who founded the country, repelled the Dragon King on the last day of the Seven Weeks of Glory, he was also seriously injured and could no longer hold his sword. At that time, Duke Harshtel rescued the Dragon King. Therefore, the Dragon King Bless my savior, Duke Harshtel." I interrupted hastily. "The content of the blessing is that within three hundred years in their family, Dragon Soul Envoys will continue to appear?" "That's right, brother Niederfa. When His Majesty Yeline, the fourth generation king, conquered the north, the Harshtel family also began to submit to His Majesty. Not only did His Majesty Yeline not perish Hashiel who disobeyed King Lutanio The Xiutail family, on the contrary, is satisfied with accepting the oath of the master-slave relationship. Dragon soul ambassadors are very rare, aren't they? So it is a pity to exterminate the family that has produced dragon soul ambassadors for generations. And what if there is no dragon soul ambassador around? , it is also very dangerous for those dragons to go berserk." Carl's profound knowledge fascinated Jemini, who was stunned.I ask a question. "Has three hundred years passed?" "Yeah. So that's where things got interesting." Both Jemini and I became nervous and turned our bodies away.Karl also seemed to be attending some secret important meeting, leaning forward and speaking in a low voice.If the schmoozing of a candlemaker's son, a forester's daughter, and a loafer can be called an important meeting. "Compared with other founding hero families, the Harshtel family was originally a rebel, right? But just because of the reason that Dragon Soul Envoys were born from generation to generation, they have always enjoyed wealth and glory. If the Harshtel family doesn't What will happen if the Dragon Soul Envoy appears again?" "Aha? So I went to find my adopted son?" "That's right. It must be to forcefully adopt a child born in a poor family with the qualifications of a dragon soul envoy. No, wait a minute, correct my words. It would be more correct to say that it is better to buy a child? Anyway, if it is not from a poor family , probably won’t agree to let the child out.” "Using money to buy an adopted son?" "Probably. Although the period agreed by the Dragon King has ended, they want to capture the Dragon Soul Envoys and reshape the bloodline of the Dragon Soul Envoys. It's like capturing excellent stallions and mares as stallions." Carl said it with a biting sarcasm.Jemini drank another sip of wine without fear, and said with an unhappy expression: "These people are despicable..." "Yes, Miss Smetag. The power they have enjoyed for three hundred years is not enough, and they want to extend it further, so they took the child from the poor parents and adopted it as their own. But it's not good. It's good for the kids, and even for the parents. Let's put it another way: Isn't it better to be an adopted child of the Harshtel family than to be in poverty?" I unconsciously said: "Everywhere, there are some lucky guys." Carl stared at me. "Are you envious, brother Niederfa?" "Honestly speaking, it would be a lie to say that you are not envious." "You are not too young, Niederfa, and you know how to observe all kinds of things around you. But it is really pitiful that a child who is only six or seven years old is taken away from his parents and has to call someone he doesn't know to be a parent." thing." "Go! I guess in five years, tell those guys to go back to the hut where they lived, and they will definitely kill them." My tone became more and more intense.Jemini looked skeptical, while Carl just smiled calmly.
Calanbell, who protects pure girls and elves... Alas, I am also sorry for calling you so many times today.But what on earth are you thinking about this girl on my back now, giving her such a reckless heart, and letting her drink like this? Walking on the path in the forest with Jemini on my back, I really wanted to use my breastfeeding strength. Carl's homemade cider is delicious, but really strong.It tasted like apple cider at first, so it's lucky that Jemini didn't pass out on the spot.Nor can I say that I am fully sober.I staggered forward as I tried not to let Jemini fall off. The sun had already set, and it was dark in the forest.Because it is a forest where I have played since childhood, even if I am a little drunk, I can move forward with confidence.But really hard.In particular, Jeminy on the back would burst out from time to time, making ghostly laughter of "hee hee hee hee", which annoyed me very much, and it was almost unbearable. "Hee hee hee hee hee hee!" "Stop laughing!" "Meow, it's so funny, meow~" "what?" "I don't know. It's just funny. Hehehe." Ahhh!This dead girl, don't you want to leave her here? Who cares if the wolf will come?Then Jemini held my ear and said to me: "Let me go!" "You should go home right away, drink some cold water and go to sleep." "If I go back like this, I will definitely be beaten to death." Ok.This is also true.It seems better to go back after sobering up.I put Jemini down and sat down as if passed out.Jamie leaned towards me too, and we were seated side by side against a tree. "Hey! After you are ten years old, do you only gain weight but not height?" My whole body was sticky with sweat.There was a dead leaf stuck to my face, so I removed it.Jemini squirmed closer to me, raised my arm, and placed it on her shoulder naturally.That means she got under my armpit. "Is it cold, Jamie?" "he he he he he!" "..." She leaned on my armpit while I cursed silently to the sky. "It's funny. Meow, that Dragon Soul Envoy." "What's so funny?" Of course the answer is definitely not my armpits. "Isn't it funny?" "What the hell is so funny?" "Funny!" "...Look! What's that in front of you?" "Mom!" Ever since Jamie was walking on the village road when she was a child and saw the lord's old dog yawning, she would suddenly lean on me like this every time.I smiled haha, while Jemini looked at me in a daze, with tears in her eyes, as if she didn't understand the current situation. "Isn't it funnier to talk about it?" "Shuki Nidfa! You!" "Are you sober after drinking?" Jemini sighed the scent of apples and left my side.But not long after, when voices came from the forest, she leaned over again. "Then, what is that?" "That's it. It's the wind." "Do you think it's the wind that I can't hear?" For a moment I looked at Jamie in panic.Although she is a coward who dare not come out of the house at night, she is obviously the daughter of the forest guard, born and raised in the forest.If she said it wasn't the wind, it definitely wasn't. Her guess was correct.After a while, the surroundings seemed to suddenly light up, and human voices were also heard.Footsteps, murmurs, and clanging. The last one refers to the sound made by a man with a sword walking. I stood up suddenly.I did wrong.My eyes were spinning, and my legs were weak.I held on to the tree and managed not to fall down.Jemini also stood up and hid behind me.I asked her to stand between me and the tree, and then observe the situation ahead.A fire could be seen flickering in the woods.A group of people were clearly walking in the forest holding torches. "Difficult, is it a bandit?" I have the utmost respect for Jamie's imagination. "Then they are really a new type of bandits. The name is probably the Torch Gang?" Holding such a bright torch and making random noises, even if the sun came out in the west, it would not be a bandit.After Jemini understood what I said, her expression softened a little.Humph.This is the forest owned by the lord, and behind me is the daughter of the forest manager who belongs to the lord. As far as I am concerned, as long as these people are not bandits, I have nothing to fear... "Hey, if you are found, you will die!" "what?" "Aren't the two of us already drunk? If you tell your parents..." "Alas!" Jemini immediately made a pose to climb the tree.Please, how could she have such an idea?As I had expected, Jamie, now that she was drunk, would eventually realize that she couldn't climb the tree. And it was only after he fell from the tree and fell to the ground screaming.God, the one who protects the pure girls and elves... I really can't stand it now. "who is it?" We hear the hurried footsteps of men, timed to match the sound of their swords being drawn from their scabbards. Once we heard the sound of steel, we were as if we were frozen and did not dare to move.All of a sudden, we were surrounded by soldiers with torches in one hand and swords in the other. "Wandering in the forest owned by the lord in the middle of the night, what the hell are you—eh, what's going on? Xiuqi, Jemini?" Jemini and I had no choice but to adopt the most appropriate attitude in this situation. "Hey hey..." The people who appeared were all lord soldiers in hard leather armor.They all put their swords back into their scabbards with ridiculous expressions, and their leader, Shanson Fisher, walked over with a sneer.He is the son of a blacksmith in the city, and now he is the captain of the guard. He is very familiar with me, the son of a candlemaker who has to go to the city to pay candles.Although he is ten years older than me, not only wielding a long sword, but also commanding soldiers, but his heart is not the same as mine, he is still a naughty boy. He walked towards me smiling, then suddenly frowned. "Huh? What are you doing, have you been drinking?" "Hey Hey……" Shan Sen looked at me and Jemini in turn, and then made a weird smile, which made me very uneasy. "Well, Xiu Qi. It turns out that you have also started to do this. Where did you get the money to buy wine? Should this be the power of love, or the power of desire? Anyway, you finally got the wine , and then got Jemini drunk. You are so cowardly. It seems that if you don't get her drunk first, you don't have confidence?" "This is a misunderstanding!" Few people heard Jemini's screams, because they were completely covered by the laughter of the surrounding soldiers.This matter can't just be left alone, I made up my mind, this time I should make Shan Sen very uneasy.Not long ago, the weird smile on the corner of Shan Sen's mouth appeared on my face this time. "The grinding sound of the waterwheel mill outside the city is really loud..." Shan Sen immediately interrupted me. "Dangerous night, why are you still wandering outside? Hmph, hurry up and go home!" "Today there is another girl, avoiding people's sight, and heading to the mill." "Shu Qi!" This time the soldier next to him smiled at Shan Sen.And some of them ran up to me and said to me in a sincere tone: "Go ahead...please." "The girl reflected in the moonlight, those familiar footsteps." Shan Sen tried to rush to me, but the soldiers immediately held him back.Shan Sen stomped his feet anxiously, but the three soldiers held him tightly and laughed. "This is an act of rebellion! Let me go!" "It's funny. You're so noisy, Shansen. Isn't this song good?" Hmm.The military discipline of our guard is really strict. "The breeze blew past the girl, and the familiar fragrance came." "Xiu Qi! This guy! Mom! Dad! Grandpa!" I pretended not to hear Shan Sen's anxious cry, and continued to sing easily.Even Jemini looked at Shan Sen and sneered, while the soldiers gulped.Perhaps because of the drink, I was more outspoken than usual. "Is it the smell of dishes in the kitchen? The smell of soap in the laundry? Or the smell of wine in the storeroom?" "Is it Margarita from the kitchen? If it comes to the laundry, it must be the blond Ann. Speaking of the storage, is it that Kratis?" The soldiers immediately began to exchange opinions.I believe that even at the time of the glorious Seven Weeks War, the battle meeting held between King Lutanio and Eight Stars was not as heated as it is now.I pretended to be garlic on purpose and continued to sing. "It's definitely one of the three. That, that... the scent is..." The soldiers looked at me with shortness of breath, while Shan Sen's face turned blue and then pale, almost crying.I probably won't be able to get close to Shan Sen within a month.But at this moment; "Huh? What kind of fragrance is this?" The soldiers all made puzzled expressions, but it had nothing to do with me.It was a distinctly unique, yet familiar scent.Then Jemini blinked and said: “好像是花香……但不知是什么花？” 士兵们都搞不清状况地互相对看。 “大概是我身上发出的香味吧。” 一个六七岁左右的小孩穿过树林，向我们走来。我虽然有些醉，但还是觉得这个小孩有点眼熟。比起我来说，杰米妮更清楚地认出了这个人是谁。 “龙魂使！” 一群不平凡的人的到来，打破了小镇的宁静。其中更让人们惊讶的是在这个队伍中还有另外一种生物——白龙。他的主人骑着白马走在白龙的旁边，他看起来很年轻，可能还不到十岁。突然有人用响亮的声音打破了死沉的气氛：“他就是龙魂使。”
