Dragoon Sentinel

At noon, in the dining room of Castle Eugene, five people sitting at a long table were absent-mindedly eating.The owner of Eugene's family, Theriot and elder brother Desus, did not show up because of official business, and only Martha and West sat beside the guests.

West, who always pays attention to dining etiquette, is obviously out of shape today. He is usually elegant, and when he eats today, the knife and fork will always accidentally touch the plate and make a harsh sound. What's even more bizarre is that he didn't notice the noise made by his accidental hand at all. He always stared at the three guests across the long table with a melancholy look: Norley, Fierth, and the desert elf.

Ferth lacked interest in human food, but he still didn't miss the opportunity to spend time with Nuo Lei. He sat next to Nuo Lei, poking the chicken legs and peas on the plate, while looking at Nuo Lei's side face as a meal delicious seasoning.Bathed in Ferth's overly concerned gaze, Nuo Lei completely emptied his thoughts, and ate his meal meticulously as if the air was sitting beside him.

And Elodie, who had just arrived, sat on the other side of Ferth as if she didn't think it was lively enough. She shyly cut up the meal and placed it in front of him. She even added magical energy to attract his attention. Fearing her all-out graciousness, Ferth changed hands and brought the food she had cut to Nuo Lei with a poker face.

Looking at the row of shining single-point arrows, West sighed old-fashionedly, but his sister Martha burst out laughing.

"Sister!" West kicked Martha's calf and said in a low voice, "What are you laughing at?"

Martha rubbed the smile lines at the corners of her eyes, covered her mouth and said, "God brother, how long has it been so long, how did the situation become so interesting?"

"It's all the trouble caused by that dragon." West directly pointed the finger at Ferth angrily.

"What did he do?"

West glanced at Ferth, and whispered something next to Martha's ear. Martha's blue eyes suddenly widened, and she covered her mouth in surprise, "Is this true? My God..."

Nuo Lei, who was sitting across from the siblings, heard it clearly. The word "contract" fell into his ears and made his heart stop for a while. He wiped his mouth hastily, moved away from the chair and stood up, "Thank you I'm full." Ferth put down the tableware right after him, and before he left, Nuo Lei said bluntly as if he had a premonition: "Don't follow, I want to be alone for a while."

Ferth didn't get up, and stared at Nuo Lei with a worried expression: "You think I won't know about your situation if I don't follow you?"

Hearing the undisguised voice that came directly to his heart, Nuo Lei was even more heartbroken: "Since you know everything, why are you still following me?"

"Is this how you treat your partner?!"

"I never thought I would develop a relationship like this with you!"

Ferth stood up with a livid face, and said loudly: "Then you can think about it now!"

The three present were startled, and stared at the angry Fearth dumbfounded. What did he mean by this sudden statement?What are you thinking?Norley, who was ordered to "think about it", looked as usual, but his cheeks and neck were flushed again.He didn't respond to Phil's words, turned and left the restaurant.

"Brother, look at the dragon and the elf, I'll go and see Norley." Martha wiped the corners of her mouth reservedly, gave West a word and got up to leave.

Ferth, who had no taste for food, also left the dining table without saying a word. The desert elf shivered and followed after hesitation.All the subjects under surveillance left the dining table, and West, ignoring the meal, beckoned the servants to clean up, and quickly caught up with the two of them.

Norley didn't go back to his room, that place only reminded him of himself, who had become stupid because of a cold, and the bastard dragon who took advantage of the fire to bind him forcibly.But where should I go if I don't go back to my room?Just as he was standing in the corridor in a daze, Martha's voice sounded from behind him: "Nuo Lei, what are you doing standing here? Don't want to go back to the room?"

Martha explained what was on his mind, and Nuo Lei nodded in embarrassment. Martha rested her chin and pondered for a while, then smiled and said, "Do you want to go outside for a walk?"

The wind at the edge of the cliff is very strong, and there is a faint smell of the sea in the air.Martha led Norley out of the castle, walked around the sand holly dotted with small yellow flowers, and walked into a house carved out of the cliff.Walking into the hut, the cool and clean air rushed over his face. Nuo Lei took a deep breath, and soon his eyes were attracted by the colorful potted plants inside: "Where is this?"

"This is where I grow magic plants. These precious materials for making magic potions cannot adapt to Corunna's coastal climate, so I specially built this house." Martha pointed to a purple velvet plant and introduced, " You see, this is called purple cotton grass, which is the basic material for anti-paralyzing potions, and the yellow pearl-like weeping fruit hanging next to it is the material for breaking the curse."

Nuo Lei stared at the bunches of beautiful fruits hanging down, and couldn't help asking: "Can this break the contract?"

Martha showed a meaningful smile, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why, do you need to cancel any contract?"

"Didn't you already know..." Norley touched his nose in embarrassment, "West just told you."

"Are you talking about the partnership contract you made with your dragon?" Martha raised her voice, and as expected, she saw that Nuo Lei's neck was flushed again, she clicked her lips, and replied truthfully: "Sorry, this I can't help you, dragon contracts are generally death contracts, ah...It may not be appropriate to say death contracts, because some contracts will also bind the soul, so even paying your life can't solve the problem."

Nuo Lei sighed dejectedly: "I understand. I read the "Communicating with Dragons" given by the great lord from cover to cover before eating, and the sentence that was repeatedly emphasized in it was not to make any contracts with dragons. Because the contracted person has no possibility of rescission... After all, I was too defenseless."

"Forgive me for such gossip," Martha tilted her head and asked curiously, "Why are you so resistant to this contract? Actually, this contract is not harmful to you. The most powerful race. When the dragon clan was prosperous, many races would send their clansmen to the north to pray for their blessings, and this partner contract is something they dare not expect, because this is a relationship that will never change. pledge."

Martha accentuated her words, and after listening to her words, Norley scratched his red hair in distress: "But I can't afford this promise."

"What's the matter, do you have another sweetheart?"

"It's not..." Norley said deflatedly.

"What's the reason, can you tell me?" Martha blinked her eyes, encouraging Norey with a gentle expression.

"I... am not from this world," said the first sentence, and Norley's subsequent expression became fluent, "In my world, there are some people like me who are physically strong and have keen senses, but this ability Not gratuitously. When we over-focus our senses or are over-stimulated, we can lose control, and if this happens and is not stopped, the result is death."

Nuo Lei's voice echoed clearly in the cabin, revealing a touch of melancholy: "In that case, I can't even recognize who he is, how can I live up to his oath?"

"Is that why you show me your face?" As soon as the words were finished, the door of the nurturing hut was kicked open, and Nuo Lei turned his head to look. Who else would be so overbearing except Ferth.

"Hey, close the door quickly! My magic plant is very delicate!" Martha scolded, but Ferth turned a deaf ear, grabbed Nuo Lei's hand and walked out, "I want to shut you down, you just shut Nuo Lei away." If you take this matter away, you should be thankful for your luck if I didn't settle accounts with you."

Martha laughed out of breath: "You dragon...haven't I given you so much magic energy to mature you?"

Ferth held Nuo Lei's hand tightly, looked at his face and replied: "I will remember your help to me, but there is nothing to discuss about Nuo Lei's matter." After finishing speaking, he hugged Nuo Lei Walked away with great strides.

Nuo Lei, who was hugged by Ferth, was stunned for a while. He turned his head and looked in the direction of the nurturing hut. He clearly saw Martha waving goodbye to him. Hmph: "Is she that good-looking? Don't forget, her original form is—"

Nuo Lei hurriedly covered his mouth: "Don't talk about this, have you forgotten?"

Not to be outdone, Ferth glared at him, and his warm breath fell into Nuo Lei's palm. Nuo Lei hurriedly withdrew his hand, and immediately heard Ferth's scolding: "Why do you care so much about others? Don't worry about me? Also, why didn't you just tell me what you just said, that I am your partner!"

"Okay." Nuo Lei suddenly broke away from Ferth's grasp and fell to the ground, saying solemnly, "Come back to the room with me."

Ferth's heart skipped a beat. He frowned uncomfortably, but quickly relaxed it. Anyway, no matter what Norley said, the contract would not be terminated.The two passed through the lobby on the ground floor one after the other. Seeing their return, West and Elodie stood up at the same time. Before Norley could say hello to them, Ferth dragged her up the stairs.

"This tyrannical dragon, does he know whose house this is!" West, the master, snorted displeasedly, and Elodie, who was standing beside him, shivered, and slowly moved to Beside the stairs, "Well, I too... go back to my room first."

"Wait a minute, Miss Elodie," West said with an impeccable smile, "can I talk to you?"

Without the obstruction of others, after signing the contract, Ferth finally had the opportunity to face to face with Nuo Lei alone. As soon as the two returned to the room, he felt that something was missing. He frowned and thought for a while, and asked, "Why didn't you see?" You let the little guy out?"

Thinking that his peregrine falcon had turned into a fat white dragon, Nuo Lei was silent for a while, rubbed his temples and sighed: "Since you mentioned it, let me ask you, what did you do to my spiritual system? "

"Spiritual department?"

"Yes, the peregrine falcon is my spiritual department, it is the embodiment of my spirit, and most people can't see or touch it, but you—"

"I can see it, and I can touch it," Ferth raised his mouth slightly, showing a slightly flattering expression. He put his hands behind Nuo Lei and clasped his waist, and asked against his ear, "Am I special?"

Nuo Lei hugged his head to prevent his harassment, stared into his eyes and asked: "Don't change the subject, just tell me what you did to my spirit?"

Ferth tilted his head and thought for a while, "Probably due to the influence of the power of the contract?"

"perhaps?"

"My family has never met such a special partner as you, so I can only guess." Ferth ignored the restraint of Nuo Lei's hands, and suddenly slammed into Nuo Lei's forehead hard, and Nuo Lei's eyelids trembled. Trembling, his joking voice sounded again in his mind, "The partner contract of the Dragon Clan is a spiritual contract. If your spiritual system is a manifestation of your spirit, it will be affected to some extent."

"I can understand being affected, but why a dragon?"

"Didn't you say you liked me when I was young?"

"That's not you." Nuo Lei thought, and it was too late when he realized what he was thinking. This contract was too cheating, and the guy on the other side heard it all!

Nuo Lei's eyes faltered and he didn't dare to look into Ferth's eyes. Ferth held up his chin instead, and the whole dragon was full of smiles: "So...you prefer me?"

"That's not the point." Nuo Lei was caught in the braid, his voice was an octave lower, "The point is that I have to prevent possible loss of control in the future, I will hurt..." Before he finished speaking, he was caught by Phil Si gags.

"Don't worry about getting out of control, I'll think of a way," Ferth let go of his lips, licked them eagerly, and said, "Think about it, just how to please your dragon will do."
