Hey!Long Jun, please wait a moment

The auspicious light on the horizon of Yihai is brilliant and changing, like tulle and smoke, elegant and agile.

The frozen Yihai is not completely lacking in green: at the southern end of the snow-capped mountains, there is a precious warm current rushing past, the light blue sea water is crystal clear, and a black forest stretches from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, vigorous and straight, with the tops of trees absolutely beautiful. Most of the time it is covered with snow, there are no flowers, willows and greens, gurgling streams and twittering warblers. That is Yinan forest, and there are many terrible beasts living in it.

In the extremely cold place, the trees grow very slowly, and the orcs will never see a small tree grow into a towering tree in their lifetime.Therefore, it is conceivable how long it took for the formation of Yinan Forest!

Therefore, this black forest is a forbidden place for the Yihai Dragon Clan, and it is also a holy place - there is a hot spring lake deep in the forest, which is the legendary birth lake of the Dragon Clan.

Now is the coldest time of the cold season, and the wind on the Yihai Ice Field is like a knife, roaring and whistling, sweeping and wreaking havoc.

"...Are you really leaving tomorrow? Did the patriarch agree?" Ao Xuan's long cloak fluttered in the cold wind, with a long knife on his back and a medicine bag.

Ao Jing walked briskly: "Yes, the patriarch definitely agrees, the mutant animals in the family are basically solved, and those who have not solved the problem will definitely die from the heat-haha, I am finally free! I can finally go to Sicily !"

The two brothers walked along the rugged mountain road with one foot deep and one foot shallow. This adventure sneaked into the forbidden area and they all had satisfactory results.

"Sixth brother, be careful," Ao Xuan reminded with concern, "It hasn't thawed yet, there are still some mutated animals outside, Sicily is too remote, you are alone, don't be careless."

Ao Jing was in high spirits: "Don't worry, your sixth brother is used to being wild outside! It's you, oh no, when will your Prince Yi come home? Tsk, it's not that I'm ugly, the Dragon King of the East China Sea really didn't care to call up his nephew. You are welcome! Detaining the Sicilian Sea Dragons for so long!"

They walked around the guard post at the foot of the mountain lightly, nimbly climbed up a steep slope, and quickly turned to the snow mountain in the north, preparing to go home through the snow mountain and ice sheet.

"Oh, there is no way, Ao Yi actually wanted to go home a long time ago." Dailong couldn't help sighing, feeling sorry for his partner, Ao Xuan explained: "I went out for a reason two days ago, and went to Donghai to find him. I heard from him that after the brigade of dragon guards jointly cleaned up the siege, the mutant sharks have almost been dealt with, and Ao Yi will return to Sicily in a few days, rushing back to deal with the restless period of the warm season thawing beasts."

"It's not easy to be a prince." Ao Jing sighed with emotion, and asked with a smile: "Then you want to wait for him to be together?"

"Of course!" Ao Xuan nodded without thinking, "I'll pack up my things in the past two days, and I will accompany him back to Sicily."

"What's your brother's attitude?"

"Him?" Ao Xuan flipped nimbly, landed on the ice field lightly, patted his cloak casually, and said cheerfully:

"The patriarch has promised me to be in charge of the foreign affairs of the Sicilian Sea Dragon Clan."

"Really? You are capable!" Ao Jing praised him greatly. He is indeed used to being outside. He served as Yihai's liaison envoy to the West Sea Dragons shortly after he became an adult, but he only showed up in emergencies, such as the previous treatment. Seriously injured brother.

Ao Xuan explained enthusiastically: "Burning Lanyu some time ago, we have actually exposed almost everything, and it would be boring to hide any more. The meaning of the patriarch is to follow nature: Yihai can't really be isolated from the world. This time the mutated animals If it can spread in, there will be no other accidents in the future—it is necessary to maintain proper contact with foreign races.”

"I said you don't want to talk to the patriarch one by one in private? That's your own brother! Hey, is he still holding your life stone? Or does he not agree with you and Prince Yi?"

Ao Xuan's smile disappeared, and he nodded helplessly: "Yes, I have searched countless times, but I don't know where he hid the life stone... However, anyway, I have already decided that Ao Yi is the only partner in this life, and the life stone will gradually disappear in the future. Find a way."

"That--"

"Sixth brother, don't think too much, I and the patriarch... I have always gotten along with my brother like this. He is very strong, and the last thing I want the people to say is that he indulges my brother, so he is very strict with me, but in his heart... He still cares about me."

Ao Jing slapped the other person on the back: "Nonsense, you two are the only brothers in your family, and you depend on each other for life!"

Ao Xuan didn't dodge or evade, he was hit straight away, and said confidently: "So, I believe: before going to Sicily, he will definitely return the life stone to me!"

"Hey? Hahaha~ You are not confused! Last time I went to Lanyu, there were many people who came back to say good things about Prince Yi. I believe the patriarch will judge."

The two brothers shuttled through the ice field talking and laughing, and agreed to meet in Sicily some time later.

——What a coincidence, the people our brothers like are both in Sicily!

East China Sea Dragon Palace

"There are no outsiders here, please give me a correct sentence, Mr. Shi." Ao Yi looked sad and solemnly said: "How is my grandfather's illness? When will he recover? What medicine is needed to cure it?"

The aged priest looked embarrassed, but during this time he could see clearly that Prince Yi was indeed filial and anxious, and he could have reminded his family members, so after thinking for a while, he lowered his voice and said cautiously:

"Prince Yi, in fact, even if I don't say it, I believe you can see that the old master has reached a certain age, and he usually spends too much time and effort, and the worst thing is that...something happened outside, old master. If you are in a hurry, your condition will get worse, alas!"

Ao Yi frowned: "Is there any way to recuperate?"

The priest grimaced, summoned up the courage to shake his head slightly, and lowered his voice even more: "Prince Yi, please forgive me for my incompetence. I have already tried all the methods I can think of! If it weren't for the support of Zhilian from Sicily, I'm afraid It was the last time...when there was a dispute, the old master...cough cough...Prince Yi, Yaoshi is not omnipotent after all!"

This priest is the most familiar with the condition of the old Dragon King. The "last dispute" he mentioned refers to the time when Ao Bai took the whole family back to the East China Sea to visit relatives. Lei Ting was so furious that he managed to save the affection between his relatives.

"I know." Ao Yi had no choice but to sigh, and lost a lot of weight. During the past half month, he was really exhausted: he went out to cooperate with the East China Sea Dragon Guard to encircle and eliminate mutant animals during the day, and went back to accompany the sicker and sicker at night. old grandfather.

The priest could not help but say a few words of relief: "Don't worry, we will definitely do our best! With the two princes by my side during this time, the old master's spirit has improved a lot—"

Ao Yi took a deep breath: "Mr. Shi, give me a correct sentence, I need to be mentally prepared."

"Uh, this..."

"Don't worry, I can't spread the word about this kind of thing, but my family is far away in Sicily, so I have to... ask." Ao Yi explained with difficulty.

——People are mortal. If the grandfather dies of illness, it is essential for the children and grandchildren in other places to go to the funeral and cry.

The priest nodded in understanding, and after hesitating for a while, finally dared to remind vaguely:

"If we can... stay safe until the warm season, we should be able to pass the current test. As for recovery... I hope the Sea God has spirit and can arrange everything properly."

"Understood, thank you, Mr. Shi."

Ao Yi's heart and throat were congested, and his eyes were sore - his amiable and respectable grandfather was seriously ill, which was a great blow to him.

At this time, Ao Feng suddenly poked his head out from the door, and said eagerly: "Come in, my grandfather is looking for you when he wakes up!"

"Oh, oh!" Ao Yi hurriedly wiped his face vigorously, adjusting his mood and going in.

As soon as he entered, Ao Yi discovered that just when he turned around to talk to the priest in private, his grandfather summoned more than a dozen respected and powerful nobles from the Dragon, Mermaid, and Jiaolong tribes in one go. I had to throw myself on my knees, my hands trembled, and I couldn't speak.

"Hey, grandpa just called a few old acquaintances over for a chat. Yi'er, don't be nervous, hurry up and say hello." The old Dragon King was in good spirits, and he could even sit up on his back, supporting a grandson with one hand.

Ao Yi then turned around to salute one by one, and then reluctantly said emphatically: "I was shocked, I thought I accidentally knocked over the jade screen yesterday, and today you specially asked the clan elders to teach me how to be a dragon."

"Hahaha~" The old Dragon King was so amused that he smiled and said dotingly, "What's this talking about? It's just one jade screen, even if there are thousands of them, my grandfather would not be willing to punish you for this kind of thing!"

"Prince Yi is humorous and funny, I think he deliberately made a joke to make you happy?"

"You are so lucky, Prince Feng and Prince Yi are all so filial, unlike those in my family, ouch, I can't help but scold!"

"Isn't it? The most filial and sensible people in the royal family are the two before your knees."

"Rare, rare!"

"Where there is, little Feng Yi'er has many shortcomings. But my little grandson Rurui, I really am not boasting, he is very cute and intelligent..." The old Dragon King began to talk about the three grandsons in detail, and talked Non-stop, can't stop at all, laughing from ear to ear.

The elders of the clan are very knowledgeable, you say a word to each other, pick good words and praise, coax the old dragon king to be very happy, they chatted briefly like ordinary old acquaintances at a gathering, chatting and laughing, so lively.

Although Ao Yi and Ao Feng were a little puzzled, seeing his grandfather talking freely, he smiled and served beside him.

Unexpectedly, after chatting for a long while, the old dragon king waved his hands unsatisfactorily. Everyone was startled, but they still calmed down and waited.

The old dragon king was stooped, but his eyes were very firm and solemn, not angry but mighty, he said word by word:

"Call everyone over today, I have something important to announce."

The clan elders looked at each other, and Ao Yi and Ao Feng couldn't guess what was going on, because there was no warning at all, so they could only look at their grandfather with concern.

"Tell me slowly, what is the big deal?" The old cousin who had the closest relationship with the old Dragon King said.

The old dragon king sighed and blamed himself deeply: "Last night, my late father told me in a dream that I was running out of time, and also scolded me for not being able to discipline me well, causing chaos in the East China Sea, and causing heavy casualties to innocent people. I am ashamed! I am ashamed! !"

The words "my father dreamed of me" and "the time is running out" frightened everyone present for a long time before they could react.

"...For the king's half life, not to mention nothing, I almost overturned the foundation of the ancestors! I am guilty!" The old dragon king choked up, raised his breath, and then said the main point:

"Today, the elders of all clans are invited to come here to bear an important testimony: I, Ao Qi, for atonement, pray for the blessings of the East China Sea, and seek the blessing of the Sea God. As soon as the future affairs are kept simple, the Turtle Clan will be responsible for burying Haihunao within three days! This is my father's suggestion and my own order. Any disobedience will be disrespectful! Be sure to be severely punished for the crime of insulting the ancestors of the royal family! "
