Goddess Wanhua Mirror

"There is a way. We used the wild beeswax you found yesterday to seal the gaps, but there is no place to replenish the embryonic fluid that has leaked inside, and the temperature in the egg is also low. Why don't we burn some hot water?" Water, don’t make it too hot, then put the eggs in, heat up by external force to keep warm.”

"Isn't this... risky?"

"If you control the temperature well, it won't, and it doesn't need to be cooked. In fact, it's best to hatch at body temperature, but your dragons are covered with hard scales, so it's not suitable for this. Have you ever seen a hen hatching an egg? The reason is the same. .”

"Hen? Wait a minute, I'll go back as soon as I go."

Before Luther could open his mouth, Nid Hogg turned around and went out the door, and came back with a giant fried chicken after a while.

Lude knew it was a monster when he saw its coat color, and logically speaking, it was also a local bully, but he had no choice but to meet a giant dragon, and now Ned Hogg pinched the chicken's neck and dared not move.

Under the coercion of the black dragon, this big rooster, which seemed to have a certain amount of intelligence, was forced to sit on the dragon's egg to help hatch the egg. All the people and dragons beside him stared at it, which made it tremble in fright.

At this time, Lude frowned and went forward to touch the chicken's belly, then turned his head and touched the other two intact dragon eggs, shaking his head and said to Ned Hogg.

"No! This guy's body temperature is not high enough to hatch the eggs. Let's change the hot water."

"Oh."

Hearing that Luther said that the rooster was not good, Ned Hogg picked up the strange chicken with his thick dragon arm, then broke its neck with a "crack", and ate it directly for breakfast.The poor strange chicken was completely innocent, first he was humiliated and then killed, his eyes full of silent accusations.

I may not be a man, but you two are definitely dogs!

With the damaged dragon egg, Nidhogg led Lud to the deepest part of the cave.Lu De was surprised to find that there was a hot spring here.Nigelhold said proudly that he chose to build his nest here because he liked this hot spring, and he would come to take a dip from time to time, which is very nourishing for the scales.

Lude tried the temperature of the hot spring water with his hands, and it was estimated to be around [-] degrees Celsius. People would feel a little hot, but it was just right for the dragon eggs.So Lu De scooped up some water and poured it on the dragon egg, then slowly put it into the water, and fixed it to the edge of the pool with a rope.

Relying on the heat of the hot spring, the dragon egg quickly returned to normal temperature. Lude checked the condition inside the eggshell with magical powers. The young dragon that had been curled up in a ball had stretched out, and its vital signs had improved significantly.

"It works, let's soak for a while."

After confirming that the temperature rise had an effect, Lude then used the tentacles to cast a few restorative lay on hands on the young dragon inside the egg shell, using powerful divine power to nourish the young dragon, which had become weak due to the loss of embryonic fluid. vitality.

Seeing that his wife and children had turned the corner, Ned Hogg was visibly relieved.And Lude moved his sore arms and legs a few times, looking at the good hot spring in front of him with hot eyes.

When he was in Pine Tree Village before, although Lu De often took a bath in order to maintain his personal hygiene, he always took a shower, and he never had a chance to take a serious soak, let alone a hot spring.

So Luther rubbed his hands, and asked Ned Hogg a little implicitly.

"I said... that brother Nid Hogg! For the sake of my coming all the way to make a doctor's visit, can I discuss something with you?"

"what's up?"

"That is, can I borrow the hot spring from your house?"

Stretching out his finger to the steaming hot spring, Lude's eyes were full of hope, while Ned Hogg asked with some doubts.

"Wash it if you want to, ask me why?"

Nid Hogg gave Luther a strange look, waved his paw to signal him to let himself go, then squatted beside the dragon egg and stared carefully.

So Lu De went around in a circle, and finally found a small pool with just the right temperature, and directly took off his clothes and soaked in it.The moment his body was completely submerged in the hot spring, Lu De was so happy that he couldn't help crying at the corners of his eyes.

"Live! I finally live!"

After taking a comfortable bath in the hot spring, Lude felt that his physical and mental exhaustion had been perfectly released, and all his troubles were left behind.But at this moment, he didn't know that some unexpected changes were happening quietly in Songshu Village, hundreds of kilometers away...

End of this chapter

Later in the day, the female dragon's consciousness finally regained consciousness, and it was only then that Lu De finally knew the other party's name.

Unlike Nidhogg, who was raised by humans, the names of wild dragons generally belong to the "earth style". The name of the female dragon is "Shuoguo". watt"!

After waking up, Tawawa did not show any strong hostility towards Lude because of the sneak attack by humans before, and even after learning from Nid Hogg that it was Lude who rescued himself and their children, he still treated Lude. De expressed his gratitude, and his performance was very clear.

Seeing that the female dragon is mostly unharmed, Lude's next task is to protect the damaged dragon eggs until they hatch.

For this reason, Lude asked Nid Hogg specifically. He didn't know how long it would take for the dragon eggs to hatch. If it was only ten days and a half months away, it would be fine for him to stay here and stare at it. He was afraid that he would have to wait. Three to five years, that would be fatal!

Fortunately, Ned Hogg asked a dragon "neighbor" who was less than a thousand kilometers away from his home before, and it only took 99 days for a dragon egg to hatch normally, so Ned Hogg started from his wife laying eggs. , I have been reporting on the wall, and nine hundred and ninety-four days have passed. Normally, it is within this week.

There was nothing wrong with the two intact dragon eggs. The baby dragon inside was developing normally and strong. The only thing that worried the Nidhoggs was the dragon egg with a damaged shell.

Under normal circumstances, dragons usually only lay 1~2 eggs each time they conceive, but Tawawa's first birth is a rare three, and it is a JK dragon that has not yet fully grown up, so the third egg has obvious Not only is it smaller than the other two, but it is also extremely fragile, so it was accidentally damaged during Nidhogg's pursuit of the Silver Winged Knight.

When Lu De checked before, he had actually found that the baby dragon in the egg was not fully developed. If he just maintained the status quo, the little guy might die prematurely.

It stands to reason that nature is a reference, no matter humans, giant dragons or other creatures, it is an unfortunate but normal natural phenomenon for larvae with congenital deficiencies to die prematurely during the gestation stage.

However, considering the lies made by the group of Hamilton, in order to take refuge in Ned Hogg's pain of bereavement, he may vent his anger on those innocent pioneers living on the edge of the Void Forest. If the younger one survived, it would be an apology to them.

So Lu De took the initiative to suggest that it is better to directly nourish the young dragon with the purest divine power, artificially accelerate the development, and make up for the innate deficiency.

In this way, in the next few days, Lude lost a steady stream of divine power to this little dragon that has not yet broken its shell.Under the nourishment of divine power, the originally immature body quickly became stronger, like a baby waiting to be fed, absorbing all the divine power sent to her by Lude.

A week passed quickly, and the female dragon Tawawa basically recovered her ability to move. A layer of black and shiny dragon scales grew out of the original wound, and there was no trace of being disemboweled at all. The normal dragon eggs also broke their shells one after another, and two chubby little male dragons came out.

For Nid Hogg, this is the first time he has been a father in his 500 years of dragon life. He flew to the top of the mountain in the middle of the night excitedly, howled for a long time, and killed all the birds and animals within a radius of hundreds of kilometers. Scared to death.

The two young dragons were very strong when they were born, and they stood up within half an hour after their shells were broken. An hour later, they opened their eyes and had complete teeth in their mouths. .

Although dragons can be regarded as an advanced intelligent race in terms of intelligence, after all, the way of life is no different from that of wild animals, so the cubs will have a certain degree of mobility soon after they are born, unlike human babies, who can only walk when they are about one year old , and it's not easy to walk.

It is worth mentioning that Lude specifically asked Ned Hogg before, if you dragons have the ability to transform into a human form, the other party gave him a strange look, then thought about it and said.

"It is said that some dragons can, but I don't."

Soon, Lude had been in the Dragon's Nest for ten days. Apart from injecting divine power into the uncracked third dragon egg every day, he spent time with Nidhogg's family.During this period, he also taught Nid Hogg how to play backgammon, and occasionally passed the boring time.

This morning, Lude went to the hot spring to check the situation of the dragon eggs as usual, and two young dragons followed him with flapping wings.Seeing them just learned how to fly today, and Yili's crooked and rampant appearance, Lude complained in his heart, these two little rascals are really worthy of the names Ned Hogg gave them—Brown and Brahmos.

Although parents have repeatedly told them that Lude is a guest, not food, so they should stop thinking about biting people with their teeth, but these two dragon children are really skinnier than bear children, and Lude has been teased by them these two days. .

But it's very interesting. Nieder Hogg loves these two children in every possible way, and has a tendency to dote on them. On the contrary, Tawawa, who has always been gentle with his husband, taught these two cubs that he was merciless, and the brothers played pranks After harming Lu De, he turned his head and was treated with "love care" by his mother.

Thanks to Tawawa, these two little things no longer dare to attack Lude, but they are still full of curiosity about him, even following him to peep when he goes to the bathroom.

When he came to the hot spring, Lu De took a look at the dragon egg that had changed greatly in the past ten days. Because of the continuous input of divine power, the cracked dragon egg now exudes a faint golden light, and the eggshell has become half. Transparent, you can faintly see the phantom of the young dragon inside.

There are various signs that, under the nourishment of divine power, some changes have taken place in this young dragon, but Lude has a hunch that this is by no means a bad thing.

I checked the inside of the dragon egg with divine magic. The young dragon has been curled up since three days ago, wrapping itself with its wings. At first glance, it looks like a sleeping bat.But all the vital signs are normal, it seems that he is just sleeping soundly, and he will not refuse the infusion of divine power.

Counting the days, Lude has fed her for nine days. In order to make her full, Aina who stayed in her hometown has to be squeezed dry by Lude every day. After this trip, she must be coaxed. just work.

Lude, who was thinking this way, stretched out his hand and pressed on the eggshell, but before he could infuse divine power, the dragon egg, which was floating quietly in the hot spring, suddenly shook by itself, and then the cracks on the eggshell quickly opened In the next second, it exploded with a "bang", and the two little black dragons shivered in the embrace of each other, calling out to their parents in a childish voice.

Lu De, who was standing in front, was surprised to see a strange young dragon covered in black and white and furry like a panda, lying on the side of the eggshell, using her golden eyes to look at herself curiously.

End of this chapter

"Mr. Lude, I want to know what happened to my daughter?"

In the master bedroom of the Dragon Nest, Luther and Ned Hogg are sitting opposite each other, while Tawawa is comforting the two frightened sons, and the third baby dragon just born is lying comfortably On the top of Lude's head, there are great plans to build a nest in this place.

Looking at this healthy and energetic little guy, Ned Hogg's spirit was broken right now.He is a black dragon, his wife is a black dragon, and his two sons are also a black dragon, but why is his daughter black and white! ?

Nid Hogg believed that his wife would not do anything wrong to him, so the problem could only be caused by Lude who injected divine power into the dragon eggs every day.

He needs a convincing explanation.

"It should... be influenced by divine power."

She stretched out her hand and grabbed the young dragon on top of her head. This little guy was slightly smaller than her two brothers, and there were no scales all over her body, but a layer of very fine and soft fluff, which felt like fur to the touch. Like a plush toy, it makes people have an addictive desire.

In addition to having no scales and black and white fur, this little guy's wings are also like a bird's rather than a bat's. There is no dragon horn on the little brain, but a floating aperture, which seems to change brightness according to its mood, very the magic.

Lude is basically sure that this little guy has undergone some kind of mutation, or super-evolution, under the nourishment of divine power, and has become a brand new dragon.

In addition, this little guy is very smart, and more sensible than her two mischievous brothers. She can recognize Nidhogg and Tawawa as her biological parents. She flew up to kiss and rub against them, but then flew in front of Lu De, looking at Lu De very expectantly with her cute big eyes, as if she was looking for something to eat.

So with the intention of giving it a try, Lude stretched out his hand and released some holy light formed by divine power. The young dragon flew over immediately, sucked all the holy light into his mouth, and then licked his mouth. It's like drinking sweet honey just now.

And Lu De thought to himself, this can't be an addiction, right?

In short, the young dragon is very close to Lude at present, and he doesn't feel annoyed when he hugs him like a cat, and he also purrs very comfortably, which makes Ned Hogg, who is his father, feel unacceptable.

"Why? I'm the real father!"

Ever since, Ned Hogg asked Luther to explain, but Luther was actually very confused, after all, he was just a priest.

What is certain is that this little guy has recognized that he only eats the divine power provided by Lude, and has no interest in ordinary meat at all. It is not clear whether it is simply a picky eater or a change in the recipe. This is what worries everyone the most. The problem.

Fortunately, this little guy doesn't eat much at the moment, otherwise, if Aina from his hometown finds out, he will definitely be at odds with her!

"How can this be fixed!?"

Looking at his daughter, Ned Hogg sighed and paced back and forth in the cave. He was so worried about his daughter that he didn't realize that his accent had been unknowingly deflected by Lude.

At this time, Lu De considered for a moment and asked tentatively.

"Why don't you put your daughter in my foster care for a while?"

"What do you mean? You want to take my daughter away?"

Keenly understood the implication of Lude's words, Nidhogg, who was instantly alert, looked at Lude with a rather unfriendly gaze.

Lude, who knew this guy would have such a reaction, hurriedly explained his proposal.

"I don't want to take it away, so how can I tell you... I don't know if you have heard of the nursery school? I can't stay here all the time, right? I guess your daughter is only in the growth stage at this stage, so I don't care about Jingchun. I need my divine power, so it’s not impossible to let me be this nanny. Your child is temporarily fostered with me, and you can come and see it at any time, and you can pick it up at any time. Even if you have that spare time, it’s not impossible to pick it up and drop it off every morning and evening. Since you Dragon Clan are neighbors for less than a thousand kilometers, then we, who are less than [-] kilometers apart, are right opposites?"

"..."

Lude's explanation made Ned Hogg fall into deep thought. He didn't really have any intentions for the young dragon, but he really wanted to go home early.Living in this dragon's nest, even though there is meat to eat every day and a very good hot spring, but life is always inconvenient. If he stays any longer, he will really become a savage.

At this time, Tawawa came over and lightly touched Nidhogg with his tail.Unlike her husband, who was raised by humans, she has a family concept similar to that of humans. Traditional wild dragons generally have very Spartan parenting concepts.

Tawawa really loves her children, but she also hopes that they can grow up to be independent dragons as soon as possible, so Lude's proposal is not unacceptable to her.

In fact, if Lude hadn't tried his best to treat the damaged dragon egg these days and let Tawawa handle it by herself, she would most likely give up this congenitally deficient egg. This is the traditional way of dragons.

Since the child is alive now, but relies heavily on the power of the human being in front of him, then follow the most appropriate method.

Under his wife's persuasion, Ned Hogg reluctantly agreed to Lude's suggestion, and sent Lude back early the next morning, and his daughter would also be fostered with him, and he would visit him from time to time.

And Lu De also solemnly promised that he would take good care of this clingy little guy and would never hand her over to anyone else.However, in order to frighten the group of Hamilton, Luther still needs Nid Hogg to help him to support himself, so that those guys with ulterior motives will not dare to act rashly.

In this way, the two parties reached a "childcare agreement", and Luther became the godfather and nanny of Nid Hogg's youngest daughter.

Although Ned Hogg was reluctant to give up, he also knew that his daughter's survival was all thanks to Lude. It is still uncertain whether the child can only survive by absorbing divine power. It is indeed the safest choice for her to stay by Lude's side .

"Speaking of which, have you figured out what name to give this child? Don't be like those two little rascals, who have two insecure names."

"Daughter, of course you have to choose a gentle and pleasant name, let me think about it first..."

Clenching his chin like a human, Ned Hogg thought hard for a long time, frowning for a long time, but couldn't think of a suitable one.In the end, Lu De really couldn't bear to see this "difficulty in naming" patient, and raised the baby dragon like an old baboon and said.

"Why don't you call me Kang Na! Let me tell you, a dragon with this name will be easy to support!"

End of this chapter

No. 12 days when Lude was taken away by the dragon, the villagers of Songshu Village all deeply missed this old priest who sacrificed himself for others.

On the side of the temple, the two nuns who stayed behind would organize the villagers to pray every day, praying that the goddess would bless the priest to be safe and sound, and the two mercenaries hired by the village also actively helped.Almost every day, everyone can see Sister Aina "tired" in the prayer service because of excessive worry.

However, with the passage of time, except for the two nuns who firmly believed that their mentors must be auspicious, the rest of the villagers had begun to take a pessimistic attitude.

The reason why the dragon is so angry has already spread in the village. Everyone knows that this matter has something to do with Hamilton and those Silver Wing Knights. It was the dragon they provoked that killed more than a dozen villages in the northern border. Suffer together.

If it weren't for everyone knowing that they couldn't beat them, they might have settled the score with them long ago.Now these few people are still brazen enough to stay in the village. The adults really don’t dare to offend these knight lords, but the children don’t have so many scruples. They throw stones and spit, without hiding their true thoughts.

Hamilton and the others also knew that they were not welcome in the village, and Jie Gang, who felt ashamed, sent one of his men back to report to the earl, first to explain the situation here, and second, to ask the earl to provide relief for these distressed frontier settlers For food and pensions, his salary can be paid in advance.

This operation can be said to be a complete failure. Not only did they not get a single dragon egg, but they also lost seventeen silver-winged knights, and even caused thousands of villagers on the border to suffer innocent disasters.

So far, Songshu Village has become the largest refugee shelter in the border area. Villagers from all over the country whose homes were destroyed by the dragon came here to seek asylum, and quickly gathered nearly 3000 people.The refugees believe that there is the protection of the goddess here, so they are safe and sound so far.

Even some villages on the east side of the village that were not attacked by the giant dragon rushed over with their families to beg for shelter because of panic.

The rapid increase in population caused chaos inside and outside the entire village. Old Roma simply couldn't control so many people. Outsiders from our own side rushed into the village to snatch their food reserves.

Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, and there was a possibility of losing control at any time, a crisp dragon chant made the originally chaotic villagers quiet down instantly.

"Dragon, dragon is coming again!!!"

The reappearance of the giant dragon caused the crowd to fry in an instant. The refugees ran around like headless chickens, and the villagers subconsciously wanted to hide in the temple, because in their perception, it was the safest place. place.
