Dragoon Sentinel

When Betisno reported the task to Duke Wenger, Norley was in the bathroom bathing the dragonling.He took off his dirty coat and threw it into the sink, leaning against the bathtub and turning on the faucet.Hot water flowed out, and after a while, white steam rose from the bathroom. He turned off the hot water valve and added some cold water. After testing the water temperature, he straddled in.

The baby dragon was hugged into the fish tank against his wheat-colored skin, and the slightly hot water washed over its body, making it unable to help but let out a comfortable sigh.Norley laughed and poured water on it, and soaped it up.

The young dragon enjoyed Nuo Lei's service very much at first, snoring lazily against his muscular abdomen. Suddenly, Nuo Lei's hand touched the underside of its tail. sit up.

This bastard actually picked up its tail and washed him "beep--", is that kind of place he can touch!It bit Noley's arm without knowing how hard it was, forcing him to stop.

"Bah—why did you bite me?" Nuo Lei was puzzled.

The young dragon was furious, covered in white foam and climbed onto Nuo Lei's shoulders, its sharp claws left scars on his chest. Respect! Obedience! Sincere fear! The meaning of the vocabulary this time!”

"What did I do?" Norley was even more puzzled.

"Some places you can't touch!"

"Where? You mean... ass?" Norley asked belatedly.

"Shut up! How dare you say it!" The young dragon was ashamed and angry, but as a black dragon, he couldn't see any signs of shyness from its face, "Anyway, you can't touch it!"

"Okay, I won't touch it." Nuo Lei looked at this precocious young dragon speechlessly, always feeling that there was something wrong with its growth method, could it be because it had been suppressed for 100 years?

After being reprimanded by the whelp, Norley withdrew his hand from continuing to soap it, hurriedly washed off the foam on its body, and put it in the towel.Sensing the servant's perfunctory, the young dragon snorted unhappily. It rolled on the towel to absorb the water without any teacher, spread its wings and squatted down, staring straight at the servant's back.

Nuo Lei has a good figure, and the line of his back is even more beautiful. His strong muscles glisten with water droplets, and the water flows down his smooth skin, all the way to the bottom of his tailbone... The young dragon uses its tail unnaturally. Rolling his legs, he moved his butt with great effort.Its eyes drifted away for a while, and it continued to admire the beautiful scenery in front of it with difficulty.

Nuo Lei felt the menacing eyes sweeping over his body, he shivered, speeded up the speed of taking a bath, and soon wrapped a towel around his waist.The young dragon smacked its mouth unsatisfied, and stretched out its claws like an uncle begging for a hug. Nuo Lei paused and held it up helplessly.

Walking out of the bathroom, the changed clothes were neatly stacked on the bed, and a piece of paper was pressed on the wooden cabinet next to the bed, with beautiful cursive characters politely requesting Nuo Lei to put on the prepared clothes.

Norley was glad that he had learned the characters beforehand, otherwise he would have no idea what it meant.The clothes prepared for him by the Duke's mansion are not of the highest quality, but they are already worth a lot to a poor traveler like Nuo Lei.Nuo Lei caressed the soft and light fabric, and couldn't help praising him: "As expected of a duke, all the things you put out are good things."

The young dragon snorted, and Nuo Lei didn't seem to feel its disdainful attitude, and put on the new clothes with great interest. The young dragon sat on the bed and yawned, but after a while, his eyes chased after Nuo Lei's figure again.

Nuo Lei is a typical example of wearing thin clothes. Putting on a white silk shirt, he became more elegant, and his tight waistline gave him a touch of abstinence. The young dragon curled up his tail again and felt restless. Ray put on his coat, and when he turned around, he saw the whelp wagging endlessly from side to side.

He walked over with his head tilted, and asked strangely: "What's wrong with you? Did you get a nail in your butt?"

The young dragon gritted her teeth and looked away guiltily.

At this time, the door was knocked, and a respectful voice came through the door: "Sir, are you ready? Your Excellency the Duke is waiting for your arrival in the banquet hall."

"Okay, come here now." Nuo Lei stretched out his hand towards the young dragon, and whispered, "Come up, be careful with your paws, I don't want to be in debt soon after I come here."

A duke wouldn't care about such trivial matters.The young dragon was impatient in his heart, but when he climbed onto Nuo Lei's arm, he carefully retracted his claws. Nuo Lei smiled, and the sincere eyes made the young dragon feel ashamed to look directly at it.

"Thank you, Ferth."

Hmph, this is the only time you will remember the master's name.The young dragon "cursed" and couldn't help flicking its tail.

Hugging the whelping dragon, Norley walked out of the door, West also came out of the room, and the blond priest also changed into new clothes, but obviously his clothes were carried with him, the pale gold robe was extremely luxurious, and the cuffs They are all embroidered with gold thread, and there are natural jewels in the beautiful patterns outlined.

Nuo Lei, who was possessed by the "earth turtle", couldn't help asking: "You... are you trying to compete with the Duke for wealth?"

"What are you thinking about? My banquet attire is just to show my respect for the host." West raised his chin like a proud peacock, "How is it?"

"It's great." Norley exclaimed, but didn't dare to say the second half of the sentence—it was a bit like a girl.

"You're not bad either." West looked Norey up and down, and nodded in satisfaction.This action of his didn't know which nerve touched the young dragon, and the little guy bared his teeth at West again.

The two of them followed the servants through the corridor covered with crimson carpets, and a door with gilded carvings appeared in front of them.The servant waiting at the door opened the door silently, and a luxurious banquet hall appeared in front of the two of them.

The three-layer crystal palace lantern reflecting the rainbow light is suspended in mid-air, and a long table enough to accommodate 20 people is placed in the middle. The servants in charge of the service stood by the wall with their hands down, and when they saw the two coming, they bowed and greeted at the same time.

Norley, who had never received such a courtesy, reacted with surprise.West is very calm, this level of "respect" is no surprise to him.The young dragon took a few glances at the servant, and was angry in his heart. When will his servant, Nuo Lei, be as respectful to him as these people are!

Not long after, the door on the other side of the banquet hall opened, and Duke Wenger walked in surrounded by servants. Betisno followed him silently, like his shadow.

Duke Wenger looked at West, who was dressed up, with a smile, and said in surprise: "Dear West, why are you dressed so grandly, I thought you were here for a blind date."

"Shut up..." West resisted the urge to swear, and retorted with a flushed face, "What nonsense are you talking about, I was wearing this outfit when you visited my house!"

"You mean the time when I asked for a marriage?" Duke Wenger's breezy smile added a bit of slyness. West, who was no match at all, could only go home and file a complaint with his face blushing and stomping his feet. if.

Seeing how "poor" he was being bullied, Norley couldn't help coughing twice, attracting Duke Wenger's attention.

"Treasure Hunter Nuo Lei, thanks to you for this mission. Benoy has already told me about your situation, but there are still some topics that I am interested in... I have to wait for you to answer them yourself." Duke Wenger's eyes fell When it came to the curled up dragonling, the little thing that was flamboyant just now shrank back, curled up its tail and pouted its buttocks to face Duke Wenger impolitely. It was trembling slightly, feeling extremely uneasy.

The little guy doesn't like the duke, but...why?Nuo Lei withdrew his thoughts and replied with a normal expression: "Of course, you can ask."

"Come on, two, please take a seat." The Duke clapped his hands, and the servants poured in from both sides like a stream of water, and thoughtfully opened the seats for them.As the host, the Duke sat in the middle, with West on the left, Betisno on the right, and Norley sitting beside West.After being seated, the servants pushed over the dining car and presented the meals one by one.

It was the first time for Norley to discover that eating was such a cumbersome task. The sheer amount of cutlery placed beside the dinner plate caught him off guard. Grinding his teeth, "Stupid mortals who don't even know how to eat, follow my instructions."

"Would you?"

"You still dare to question me? Do you want to eat?"

"Okay, listen to you."

Following the command of the whelping dragon, Norley started to eat clumsily. West, who was sitting next to him, was still worried that he would be in a hurry. Who knew that although Norley's movements were not very standard, the meal procedure was completely correct.Norley himself was also surprised. The young dragon's familiarity with the noble world was beyond his imagination. At first he thought the little guy was trying to show off his power, but in the end he spoke clearly and did not embarrass him at the dinner table.

How does the little guy know so much? Is it really a newborn dragon cub?

With doubts, Nuo Lei did not slow down the speed of eating. The eating procedure of the noble family is indeed complicated, but the taste is still good. It would be better if the portion can be provided a little bigger like Papa Ed.

After a magical hour, when several people had finished eating, the servants quietly removed the plates. Taking advantage of the gap, Duke Wenger put his fists on his chin and asked with great interest, "Norley, please allow me to call you directly. I'm curious, where did the little things around you come from?"

The baby dragon who was named froze, and crawled down from Nuo Lei's shoulders into his arms in desperation, and refused to show his face after being beaten to death.Norey teased it and scratched its chin, but it also pretended to be dead, instead of fighting back as usual.

Norley withdrew his hand and answered truthfully to Duke Wenger's gaze: "It was entrusted to me by an old man who saved my life. I promised him to raise this little guy. No matter what happens, I will not Will break promises."

Duke Wenger asked: "Is the old man you're talking about Edwyck Ironspear?"

"Yes."

"West can testify for you?"

"Of course, what are you worried about?" West asked puzzled.

Duke Wenger said with a smile: "Because I want to confirm the origin of this dragon and confirm that it is not a spy sent by a monster."

The young dragon raised his head abruptly, howled ferociously to refute the Duke's point of view, and Duke Wenger raised the corners of his mouth playfully, his fair face flushed a little, "It seems that this is an upright little guy, then I can rest assured."

West said unforgivingly: "The interrogation is over? Now you should also talk about what happened to the baby dragon that appeared in your territory?"

"To be honest, I don't know, but a few days ago I received news from Wagner that an orc tribe was attacked by young dragons. I didn't expect this to happen in my territory in just a few days." Duke Wenger pursed his lips, hid the smile on his face and said seriously, "This is not a good omen, it is a provocation from the enemy."

West frowned and said, "You mean...the monsters will continue to invade?"

Duke Wenger asked back: "Isn't that why you went to Candin Town?"

West stood up in panic: "How do you know the contents of my grandfather's letter—"

"Because I also received this letter, as the successor of Archmage Grimm." Duke Wenger bent his lips in pity, and sighed, "The dragons in the land of recovery are almost extinct after the Mallorca War, but we It is not good news that there are young dragons that have successfully bred in the hands of the enemy. The only one who can fight against the dragon is the dragon. Therefore, this dragon is our only hope."

Having said that, Duke Wenger's eyes fell on the whelp again, and the whelp continued to hide in Nuo Lei's arms overwhelmed, but Nuo Lei covered its head with his hands and asked simply: "I have a question, Your Excellency the Duke. Both you and Papa Ed said that dragons are powerful and proud creatures, and no one is their opponent, so why do monsters easily erode them?"

"That's a good question, treasure hunter." Duke Wenger said with a smile, "I don't think you know what a monster is, that's why you ask this question."

Duke Wenger satirized his ignorance, while Nolei's expression remained unchanged, and he asked seriously, "What is a monster?"

"Monsters feed on spirits. They are good at deceiving people, and then slowly devour their minds and spirits, turning them into puppets. Even dragons are not immune."

"Then why is the dragon the first race to be destroyed after the monster invasion?"

"Another good question." Duke Wenger tilted his head and said with a half-smile, "I wonder if you are a native of this place, and you know nothing about the ins and outs of the Mallorca War."

"I'm really not a local here." Regardless of West's shocked gaze, Noley replied truthfully, "So I still need to trouble you to explain."

Norley's confession made Duke Wenger unable to hide his surprise. Duke Wenger was stunned for a moment, and laughed aloud: "You are such an interesting person. I suddenly understand why Edwink chose you as his successor. As for The problem you mentioned... I think you must have heard Edwink mention the spirit of the dragon, it was stolen, just before the first invasion of monsters."

Nuo Lei opened his eyes wide, and the baby dragon in his arms moved his ears involuntarily, "You mean—"

"I don't know who did it. What he did caused the dragons to fight among themselves. The dragons of different colors fought against each other, attacked each other and even killed each other... Their mutual killing gave the monsters a chance to take advantage of it. It is also the reason for their destruction."

As soon as the Duke finished speaking, the dragon cub suddenly yelled loudly, broke away from Nuo Lei's hand and climbed onto the table, flipping the dishes and making a big fuss.Nuo Lei was dumbfounded, and hurriedly stopped Sapo's young dragon.

"I'm very sorry, Your Excellency the Duke." Norley hugged the writhing whelping dragon tightly, and apologized with a wrinkled face, "I will teach it a good lesson."

"It's okay, it's probably not satisfied with my explanation." Duke Wenger smiled generously, "If there is a chance, if there is a chance, I would like to hear the dragon's opinion with my own ears."
