Mystery Kingdom I

Alas, the poor backward nation, without cars, trains and planes, it takes a long time to travel far away.Sitting in the bumpy carriage, I yawned out of boredom.Passing through several towns the other day, the caravan stopped to load and unload, and I wandered around, accompanied by Siswell.Siswell was one of the fellow warriors, and he was the most active in finding ingredients for my cooking.It may be that shopping is exhausting, or my body has not fully adapted to the spirit of speech. In short, I have not been able to cheer up these two days, and Scott's travel experience has not aroused my interest.Seeing that I was listless, the people in the caravan tried their best to reduce my workload and make me happy, fearing that my mood would affect the quality of cooking.

"Hey, if you leave in the future, what will we do? We're used to eating the food you cook." During the meal time, Siswell held the bowl with a sad face, and for the first time, he didn't gobble up the food directly.

"Yes, yes, this is a big problem." It immediately resonated with everyone.

"I said Serene, don't you consider joining the caravan? We also travel around, which can broaden your horizons." So-and-so suggested.

"Yes, yes, Serene, anyway, you just want to see the king city, why don't you follow us later. You see we treat you so well, do you have the heart to abandon us?" Blinking her pitiful eyes blink.

Sighing, I couldn't speak because I couldn't explain why.Yes, joining a caravan is a good choice. You can travel around and everyone gets along well.However, I still want to go back to the original time and space.I don't belong to this world.

"Don't give advice to others. Everyone has their own way to go. Let's eat quickly and leave in a while. Before sunset today, we have to rush to the next city." Scott helped me out.

I lost my appetite.Holding a wild fruit, staring at the sky in a daze.A little bird flew from afar.Fly closer, well, I read it wrong, it's a big bird, maybe something like an eagle.Closer, probably an ostrich, if any ostrich could fly.Getting closer and closer, I can vaguely see that it has four legs, a big furry head, sharp teeth, and a word "King" on its forehead.God, what did I see?A tiger with wings? !

"Hey," Siswell said, patted on his stomach, "that... what kind of monster?"

Looking back, he immediately dropped his job and stood up, drawing out the sword at his waist, "It's Maverick, everyone beware!"

The others also changed color immediately, and took out their weapons one after another.Siswell grabbed me who was still in a daze and threw me behind.Oh, it hurts so much.

The strange tiger flew in front of him in a blink of an eye.This tiger is definitely different from the lazy and sick tigers I saw in the zoo before, but an absolutely brave, powerful and muscular wild species.It roared and rushed towards the crowd.It was so powerful that it sent the first few people flying far away.The bloody mouth opened wide, and the scene was immediately dripping with blood.

Seeing that his companion was injured, Siswell yelled to meet it with a sword, and started a fight with it, while the others saw the opportunity to sneak attack.However, the monster was so powerful and had to dodge its sharp teeth and claws, so everyone couldn't take advantage of it.On the contrary, several people were injured in a short time.Siswell was furious, and finally found a gap and stabbed the strange tiger's chest with his sword.

Although the wound was not deep, it really angered the strange tiger.It suddenly flew into the air, flapped its giant wings, and swooped down.Along with its flapping wings, a burst of cold air enveloped Siswell's whole body.Before he could react, he was frozen into an ice sculpture.

The strange tiger flew straight at me, and I took two steps back in a hurry before being crushed by it, with four eyes facing each other, and the green eyes made me feel terrified.The people around were desperate for help, but they were afraid that I would be bitten and die, so they hesitated to step forward.

The strange tiger bared its teeth, so big, so bright, so good, so scary!Pharynx spit.Did I die here today?

If the tiger does not move, I will not move.I stare into its eyes and it does the same to me.Why, I want to play a game of staring at each other. I think no one could stare better than me in school.Although I was trembling all over and my breathing was unstable, I still tried my best to widen my eyes, which made my eyes sore.Sweat dripped from his forehead and into his eyes, which hurt so badly.However, I didn't dare to wipe it with my hands, and I didn't dare to blink. I just stared harder and stared harder.Everything around him seemed to have disappeared, only the pair of green tiger eyes remained in his eyes and mind.

Time passed by every minute and every second.In its eyes, the frightening anger gradually disappeared, I read it right, how could it feel that its eyes became gentle.Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound in its throat, then it stuck out its tongue and touched my hand.Well, what's the situation now?Gathering up his courage, he stretched out his trembling left hand and touched its big head. The hair was smooth and felt good.Feeling my touch, it grunted again, and rubbed its head against my neck.Yeah, are you kidding me?

The people around couldn't accept the sudden change for a while, and they froze in place.

"It should be fine. Maverick will only show affection for the owner it recognizes, and it will probably follow you forever." Scott said.

"Ah? I... I didn't do anything, why did I have an extra large pet?" Woo, this pet said so scary.

"I can't explain this clearly. Most people win the approval of Mavericks through fighting. Because this kind of beast is infinitely powerful and can know low-level ice spells, it is very popular among high-level warriors and wizards. Many people will die if they fight hard. Go look for the Maverick, hoping to become its recognized owner."

"Then...then if a powerful person appears in the future, won't it follow him?" Oh, I don't want this kind of unscrupulous pet.

"The Maverick will only recognize one master. Once determined, it will be for a lifetime. That's why it has become the dream mount of those warriors and wizards. Don't worry, it will not hurt you, but will obey your orders."

"Then, can you get up from me, you are really heavy..." Pushing its head fearlessly.

"Roar~" reluctantly left.As soon as I stood up, it stuck to me again, spinning around me.Hehe, it's actually quite cute, like an enlarged version of a cat.

Pat it, "Get Siswell out, he's my friend."

Slowly wandering to the ice sculpture, he stretched out his tiger claws to touch the ice, and the ice melted, leaving only Siswell who was wet all over. "Roar~" A roar made him take two steps back in fright.

A fierce fight ended unexpectedly.Everyone packs up the wounds, and packs up the things. Fortunately, the injuries are not serious.Everyone congratulated me on taking down the beast.I looked at the big guy lying under my feet with eyes closed and meditating, and I felt a little proud and a little uneasy.God knows how many "surprises" will be arranged for me.

After a few days of getting along, I have completely gotten used to the big guy.I named it Qiongqi.I remember reading a book that said, "Shan Hai Jing" records a monster that looks like a tiger with wings, and its name is Qiong Qi.It's not that I'm lazy, I really can't think of any powerful name for it, I can't call it "Mimi" or "Diandian" or something like the habit of keeping pets in the past.Seeing it is also quite satisfied with the name, every time I call it, it will be coquettishly grunting.

And I found a good pastime when I was depressed a few days ago-let Qiongqi fly me at low altitude.Now the altitude is lower and the speed is slower, but the feeling of flying freely and listening to the howling wind is really cool!I'm still a little worried about the wind blowing my wig off though, so I don't dare to speed up.Think about it, a beautiful woman rides a Maverick flying in the sky, and suddenly her wigs are flying all over the sky... Evil, how terrifying.

Although he is very close to me, Qiongqi's attitude towards others is still not very good, and a few large characters can be clearly read on his face - "Don't get close to strangers".It may be remembering the revenge of the sword, and it has no good face towards Siswell, and will never allow him to get close to me.Poor Siswell always had to fall behind when it came to grabbing food.For this reason, he complained to me from a long distance away.But, I can't help it either.Every time he told Qiongqi about this matter, he made an innocent expression that he couldn't understand at all.Alas, a small-bellied tiger.
