ride on the back of a dragon

The stranger didn't seem to have any malice, with black hair and black clothes, and a pair of yellow-green eyes sparkling.Carat was in a trance, the color was crystal clear, like a new leaf containing vitality, very similar to the shimmer at the bottom of the water at that time.But different from the violence in the dream, those eyes looked at Bubble with warmth, like a clear spring in the scorching sun.The man leaned over and squatted down, and Bubble slammed into his embrace intimately.This was not the girl in Carat's strange dream, but a slender and slender young man.While stroking Bubble's back, he raised his sharp chin and looked at Carat, his eyes lost their tenderness in an instant, full of distance.

Carat approached slowly to meet his guarded eyes, and let him look him up and down suspiciously for a while.They looked at each other by the moonlight and neither of them spoke. Carat envied his angular face. Compared with her own baby fat that could not fade away, the other party's slightly mature face seemed to be trusted more easily. Unlike herself, go Be questioned everywhere.People always like to judge people by their appearance, and they like to laugh at Carat's round face like a little girl.But the corners of the man's eyes were a little downcast, and even his stern expression was somewhat friendly.

Going out in a hurry, with no shoes, no clothes, no change of hair, and a large piece of dried beef in her hand, Carat knew how embarrassed and suspicious she looked at this moment, but fortunately, the other party was not a girl, otherwise it would be too rude .

"Good evening, sir." Carat briefly combed her long hair with her fingers, and smiled at the other party: "The little guy is a bit naughty. Didn't it scare you? He never lets others touch it. It seems that he likes you very much."

Seeing that the other party has been silent, Carat patted her legs embarrassedly: "Bubble, come here, let's go."

Bubbles was happily rubbing against the open palm of a stranger. Carat saw that the man's palm was red from being rubbed by Bubbles, so she hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and tapped Bubbles on the head: "I'm rude! The meat is for you , we went back to bed."

Bubble seemed to react suddenly when he heard his voice close at hand, happily jumped onto his arm and snatched the air-dried beef that was bigger than his body, and let him tie the sheepskin strap on himself.

"What are you doing?" The stranger finally spoke, his voice calm and gentle but full of guard.

"I, I'm going to take this kid back. Sorry to bother you..."

"Where are you taking her? Why are you tying this for her?" The man interrupted him, frowning, and grabbed the leather buckle of the strap: "She's not a slave."

Carat's hands froze, slave?Bubbles is just a lizard, what does it have to do with slaves?

"Of course it's not a slave." Carat let go of his hand: "It must be my daughter." He lowered his head and scratched the lizard's chin. Although Bubble was the shortest lizard he raised, it attracted him the most. Aiai: "Is that right, Bubbles. How about going home with Dad?"

"Your daughter...heh." The gentle voice suddenly cooled down.

Carat froze on the spot, although the other party didn't move but his eyes changed, and he didn't even look at him with half-lidded eyelids, but the air pressure around him dropped instantly, a sense of oppression came over his face, and Carat's back suddenly climbed up. There was a layer of cold sweat, and his biological intuition made him tense up all the nerves in his body, ready to escape at any time.He has never encountered such a situation, including when encountering groups of bandits, he was not so afraid.

Originally, Hill just wanted to get rid of this human being quickly and take Fleur away from here.But a mere kid dared to claim to be the father of a dragon in front of him. Humans have been so arrogant after a long time.He couldn't help but want to teach this unusually pretty babyface a lesson, despite his wonderful smell and clear silver eyes.

He coldly looked into these inexperienced eyes, watching with enjoyment that the other party was rigidly unable to move under his silent rage, and could only let him down.

"Hill! Don't act recklessly!" Finny descended from the sky, his eyebrows sparkling with anxiety.The big bird, nearly one person tall, landed aside and folded its fiery red wings. It saw the orange-red little guy standing between the two of them holding dried beef and approached excitedly flapping his wings, as if to hug her: "Oh my God!" ! Fleur! My little cutie, why is she so beautiful, she looks more and more like me!"

Hill was disgusted by the artificial voice of the silly bird pinching his throat, and was about to give it a roll, when the boy who froze in front of him somehow found strength, and suddenly blocked Finny's wings, before he was touched by it. Picking up Fleur, the other arm protected him and retreated quickly.

"...Don't be afraid." He turned his back to Hill and stood in front of him with his bare feet. His short white shirt became transparent under the bright moonlight. In the hot air, the whole person exudes a faint light, like a moon falling in the sand sea.But he was shaking, and Hill saw goosebumps crawling over his bare limbs.

So he was... protecting himself?

Carat didn't know how she moved.When the big bird landed slowly, its limbs seemed to have independent consciousness.

But at such a time, the sword is not by his side.

The huge bird folded its wings and tilted its head to look at him.Clara trembled in her heart.In all fairness, its feathers are very beautiful, with a transition from pure fiery red to a layer of gold inlaid feather tips, and the ratio of its wingspan to its height is also very good.

The dotted desert oases are inhabited by many beautiful creatures, and most of Carat like them very much, such as the small and flexible sand dune cat and the cottontail rabbit with round tails, the ever-growing desert rose and the Lithops by the water, Even lizards and snakes that everyone fears.Whether it is rippling petals or leaves with burrs, whether it is smooth fur or hard scales, every creature is a gift from the Creator to nature.

Except feathers and beaks.

Hearing the sound of birds flapping their wings, he would involuntarily dodge no matter how far or near he was.Seeing them grooming their feathers gave him goosebumps no matter how gorgeous the picture was.This seems to be innate, and he has been afraid of birds for no reason since he was sensible.

But now is not the time for a knight to be afraid, even if his hair is standing up from head to toe, even if he can't control the fear in his heart.In comparison, he would rather be surrounded by a pack of wolves than face a bird of prey.

But there are others behind him.Carat didn't know if she was so scared that she had hallucinations, the bird was actually speaking human words, it said in a funny voice: "Baby, relax, don't be afraid."

Watching it gradually approaching, the back of Carat's neck felt chilly, and sweat rolled down her spine.He stuffed the bubble to the person behind him: "What's your name?" He heard his voice trembling, but he still tried his best to smile in the most relaxed manner.

A knight should always be stable and elegant in front of others. He is obliged to provide others with a sense of security: "What's your name?" The other party didn't answer, and he asked again.

"Sill." The man said silently, staring at the corner of his mouth.Clara could tell he wasn't too nervous, and that was fine.If you are too nervous, you will not be able to escape.

"Sill, I will lure it away, and you run to the city with Bubbles. There are too many people there, so it can't hurt you. Go to Water Lily Manor and wait for me, Bubbles knows the way. If... If I don't go back, help me Throw this in the yard." Carat took off the beige leather cord that had been looped a few times around her wrist, and there was a gold flake hanging from it, which her father made when her mother disappeared, and her mother's name "Diane" was engraved on it .

"Run." He whispered to Hill.Immediately afterwards, he straightened his legs and kicked towards Big Bird's chest.The moment the skin touched the feathers, numb from the toes to the knees, Carat felt that the whole body was about to explode. In fear, a sense of inexplicable familiarity flashed in his mind, and then disappeared.But he didn't have time to think about it, he was exhausted just overcoming the physical instinct to escape, he bit his lip and stood between Hill and Big Bird trembling.

This kick was really not light, the big bird let out a scream, and lay down on its back, spreading its fiery red feathers all over the floor.Carat looked back and saw that Hill was still standing there with Bubbles in his arms. He wondered if he was frightened. He immediately rushed to hold Hill's wrist and ran away to the city without going back.

Hill sighed inwardly.He obviously didn't need it to appear, and he didn't want to do anything to this child at first, but Fei Ni somehow opened his mouth in front of humans, and it didn't end well.There is no magic to erase memory in this world, at least he has never heard of it.

When the boy rushed over, he stretched out his hand to knock him unconscious, threw him into the city and left directly. When people wake up, they will naturally think that these are all hallucinations.But the other party obviously misunderstood, and directly took the hand he had just raised. The human skin was moist and soft, and the palm of the hand was covered with cold sweat and kept trembling. He ran away regardless of holding himself.

Running to the bottom of the city, Hill was wrapped around his waist by him. Seeing him kicking his feet, he climbed onto the ridge of the roof with one hand and climbed onto the ridge of the roof in twos and threes.It looks tall and slender on the outside, and I don't know where such a lot of strength comes from.While running, the long light golden hair fluttered in front of her, exuding the fragrance of water lilies.Hill saw the slightly reflective scar on the back of his neck, which was a tooth mark, and it was... a very special tooth mark. Hill's heart skipped a beat, and his hands and feet felt numb.But he remembered that it should be a girl, a girl with a smaller figure, is it an illusion?

"What's your name?" Hill had always stayed away from humans, but this special boy aroused his long-lost curiosity.When he faced Finny just now, his eyes were red with fright, but even though tears were already rolling, he didn't run away alone, but protected himself behind him.For a moment, Hill didn't know whether to praise him for being brave or laugh at him for being timid.

"...Hoo..." He was panting while leaning on the wall, the rosiness in his eyes hadn't disappeared, and the few toes that had kicked Finny's chest unnaturally twisted and spread out again, and couldn't help but disgusted: "It's disgusting."

The two stopped in front of the sparsely populated manor, and breathed a sigh of relief. The kid straightened his messy hair and clothes again, and smiled slightly: "My name is Carat. Cara. Jie...Ahh!" He suddenly lost his voice in shock. Call.

A few unknown birds were awakened from their sleep by their conversation, and flew away from the branches above their heads. The boy shuddered and crashed into Hill's arms, subconsciously hugging him.With too much force, Hill felt that his ribs were constricted and it was difficult to breathe.

"Are...are you afraid of birds?" Hill asked helplessly.

The young man paused, and slowly raised his head, looking at him with a pair of moist silver eyes in shock. Hill is actually not used to being so close to others, but at this moment the young man is like a frightened little beast, and his taste is really good. Hearing that, he didn't break free and let him hold her for a while.It didn't take a moment for the young man to return to his cage consciously, hastily let go of his hand, and turned his head slightly.The water vapor gushing from the corners of the eyes due to excessive fright was still hanging on the roots of the eyelashes.

"...No..." He denied first, and then changed his words unwillingly: "Yes. But I just don't wear a sword." He regained his composure: "My name is Clara Jem. I am a knight. Mr. Hill, I'm really sorry to surprise you today."

Hill didn't make a sound, just looked at him silently.

"Where are you from? It doesn't look like a local." Seeing that he was silent, Kela asked proactively.

"Well... the east side. Look for her." Hill is not good at making up nonsense: "I got lost not long ago."

"I think you must have misunderstood it. It has been with me for two years. If your lizard got lost not long ago, it must not be this one." Carat pushed open the door of the manor: "If you haven't decided to live Where, come in and take a rest. Although it is not as lively as a hotel or tavern, it does not charge money."

Hill forgot that to him, two years ago was indeed not long ago, a time of sleepiness, but to a young human being, two years ago should be called a long time ago.

Hill: This tooth mark seems to be bitten by me... (Why is it a man?????)
