Palm Dragon

Molly was actually a little surprised.

Whether it's Adrian, a small house dragon, who is willing to travel far away, or Yisi's hostility.

In a sense, Molly was the only one who accompanied Adrian and watched him grow up.

It is impossible for him not to notice the interaction between Yis and Adrian.

Little Ed has grown up... Molly has a subtle feeling in his heart.

In fact, Molly is not very old, but he always has an old man's mentality. Among them, Adrian who is offline should have a lot of credit.

I can also be regarded as half of Adrian's guardian, Yisi's naked demonstration eyes are really...

Adrian wanted to rub against Molly while Ice was not paying attention.

Failed again.

Adrian was so excited that he described to Molly what he had seen and heard when he went out.

"...So, the first time I saw a running tree...Molly?"

Molly, who was immersed in her father's world, woke up, smiled and reached for the tea steamer, "Do you want more tea, Ed?"

Adrian shook his head.

"When will the ceremony of the holy imperial capital start?"

"Are you going to the Holy Imperial Capital?" Molly raised his eyes in surprise.

"Yeah, I heard that the festival will be very lively~" There was a lot of wine~ the little dragon was rippling again.

Molly looked at the star-eyed little dragon and fell silent.He didn't want to make Adrian unhappy if possible, but...

Ice looked up.

Receiving the warning sight, Molly coughed lightly.

"Ed. Do you know what this festival is called?"

"?"

"Full Moon Festival." Werther, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said.

Molly nodded, and the gentle expression on his face was replaced by seriousness.

The Full Moon Festival is the most important festival on the continent of Ori, or in other words, the most important festival in the holy imperial capital.

During the Full Moon Festival, the leaders of various forces on the continent of Ori will gather in the holy imperial capital to discuss with the Holy See the conflicts between national races, coexistence and development issues.

In order to welcome those important people, the holy emperor will hold such celebrations, such as martial arts competitions, the winners can get rich prizes, or treasure auctions, usually rare special products, because they don’t often get together, so countries and races There is a mentality of showing off, so it becomes a large-scale gathering to show off wealth. After a long time, the carnival of the Full Moon Festival has become a tradition.

This common sense is the most lacking in Adrian, who has been squatting in the mountains since he was a child.

Ok.

Even so, Molly didn't need to be so serious.

The point is...

"The dragon clan... will also participate."

Although the Dragon Island is far away from human beings, it is mysterious and unpredictable, but as one of the most powerful forces on the Ori Continent, the Holy See cannot exclude dragons.

Adrian's hand holding the cup froze.

Annie blinked suspiciously.

Why did the little dragon seem... to be gray for a moment?

The magic equipment shop was quiet.

Molly, who had caused the awkward silence, reached out and touched Adrian's drooping head.

"If so, if you still want to go..."

Adrian was silent.

Molly sighed.

Iss hugged the suddenly sluggish little dragon tightly: "Ed—?"

There was a barely audible sniffing sound in his arms.

Is is distressed.

He patted Adrian on the back, trying to persuade: "If you don't want to go, we won't go." As for the "that matter" that Ji Lian said, just find someone—

Adrian suddenly pushed Ice away.

Everyone in the store looked at him.

Adrian's nose was red, but he wasn't crying.

Molly looked at him mildly.He already knew what Adrian was going to say.

"Will he...will come too?" Adrian looked straight at Molly with his big wet eyes.

really.

Molly sighed inwardly.

"^...The Dragon King...will come." Molly said softly.

There was still half a sentence, Molly didn't say it.

But Adrian got it.

The Dragon King came to the sacred imperial capital.

This means that he will also come.

Adrian was rarely this sad.

When I was a child, I sang nursery rhymes to myself in the Emerald Valley, talked to the little tree by myself, and cried until dawn in the lonely night. The memory seemed to come back in an instant.

Iss looked at the little dragon who was curled up with the quilt on the bed.

Silly.

Do you think that if you do this, you will believe that he is asleep?

Essie got into bed too, hugging the cabbages.

"Ed—?"

No sound.

hum.

"I just paid downstairs."

The quilt moved.

"—We will go back at dawn...?"

"Don't go back!" Xiaolong really blew up.

Iss laughed and tore away the quilt that was tightly held by him.

Can't move.

Even though Xiaolong was sad, he was quite strong.

"Then tell me why you're sad."

Is lowered his voice to coax.

"……"no response.

Mr. Noble is gone.

The room is lit with Jiji grass to help sleep, and Pagrama at night is very quiet.

The exhalation in the quilt gradually calmed down.

Is carefully and slowly pulled the quilt away.

Adrian's hair was disheveled, his face was flushed under the quilt, and he sniffed his nose from time to time.

Mr. Noble covered the quilt.

Adrian's refusal to say doesn't mean he has no choice.

Molly was still sitting in En~honey;'s small vestibule, and the tea steamer was steaming again.

Aini was already sleepy.

The door was pushed open.

Molly smiled: "The tea is just boiling."

Iss gently closed the store door, and Molly's seat remained unchanged.

Unlike the scented tea he drank before, this time, what Molly poured into the cup in front of Iss was light green tea.

"It's been a long time since the merchants from the East came here, and I managed to buy this tea set from Li."

The delicate ivory cups are painted with vines, and the cups shimmer like pearls.

Yi Si didn't speak, and reached out to pick up the saucer.

The tea in the mouth is a bit astringent and not much sweet, but the aroma can stay in the mouth for a long time.

"It's the flower of the silver creeper," said Molly softly. "Silver vine blooms only once a year. The fresh and tender petals should be collected within a quarter of an hour of just blooming, dried in the morning sun, and then stored in a clay pot that has been frozen to give it its unique astringency. The taste and aroma remain."

Iss looked up, and Molly's lenses were a little blurred by the fog.

"Ed fell asleep." Ice said suddenly.

Molly also took a sip of tea. "Is that child... crying?"

"No."

"I've really grown up." Molly suddenly sighed in an old man's tone.

Iss put the quilt back on the saucer with a crisp sound.

Mr. Noble is a little impatient,

Molly smiled, took off his eyes and wiped them: "Ed lived by himself since childhood, you know that?"

Is nodded.

"Actually, Ed is not an orphan. However, his status is somewhat special, so Dragon Island..." Molly paused. "Not very accepting of him."

In fact, Molly was reserved.

Letting a young dragon leave his hometown and live alone in the deep mountains is simply impossible for the dragon clan who have always protected their weaknesses.

Ice understood what Molly meant, but he only wanted to know one thing.

"Who does Ed want to see?"

Adrian, who tried his best to avoid the dragon clan, wanted to meet "he" even though he knew that there would be a dragon.

Molly put the eyes on.

The tea in the cup was getting cold slowly, but Iss didn't rush it.

It wasn't until the tea was finished that Molly said softly, "Ed... wants to see his father."

Next, they didn't talk any more.Molly made tea silently, and Iss tapped on the armrest of the sofa with his slender fingers.

The tea steamer ran out of water, Mr. Noble decided to leave.

Mo Li didn't hold back and sent him out of the store.

There wasn't even a single nocturnal cat on the street, it was already late at night.

"Sir," said Molly's half standing outside the store lights. "And one more thing."

Is turned around, Molly's expression was blurred.

"The flower language of silver vine is... loneliness."
