Carlos came out of the palace and went straight back to the temple. He waved away the knights who followed him and walked along the quiet corridor all the way to the deepest part.
“Boo, boo, boo…”
Carlos stood in front of the huge holy door, and before he entered, he heard a low sobbing sound.
Pushing the door open, all the lights made of magic stones lit up in an instant, and the dark hall suddenly became as bright as day. Carlos walked in.
The sobbing sound paused for a moment, and then suddenly became louder.
Carlos raised the corners of his lips and walked to the deepest part of the hall.
At the top of the steps made of white magic stone, there is a golden birdcage.
Several magic gems are embedded on each prism of the cage, interconnected and intertwined to form a complex magic circle that tightly traps the things in the cage.
In the gorgeous golden birdcage, the fairy knight Meruru sat on the swing, sobbing.
Big tears fell to the ground, and large patches of water appeared around the cage.
Merulu heard Carlos come in, her big tangerine-like eyes flickered over and her crying became more miserable.
Pushu flapped his transparent wings and circled around Merulu, his delicate eyebrows twisted into a ball, his lemon yellow eyes filled with helplessness: "Merulu, you're going to squeeze yourself dry and turn into an old woman."
Merulu glared at Pushu, covered her eyes with her hands, and cried even harder.
Carlos was already standing in front of the birdcage. He lifted up his robe and sat on the steps. He said in a low voice, "Pushu is right. If you keep crying, you will turn into an old woman."
Meruru flew up from the swing, looked up at Carlos, and accused loudly: "Then let us out, you impostor!"
Pushu also flew over and looked at Carlos seriously: "Evil creature, we won't tell anyone about you, please let us out, okay?"
The little fairy was only the size of a human thumb. He tilted his little face up and tried to speak loudly. Merulu still had traces of tears on her face. Pushu frowned, but spoke politely.
Carlos half opened his eyelids, his ruby-like eyes were silent and dull, and he said coldly: "It's not a bad idea to let you go."
There was surprise in Pushu's eyes: "Really? Are you willing to let us out?"
Meruru looked at Carlos but didn't say anything immediately.
Carlos continued, "Your Majesty has a mission for you, and I agree."
At the same time, Carlos snapped his fingers, and a contract appeared in the air. "Sign this confidentiality agreement, and you can go out. Complete the mission and come back, and I won't care about you anymore."
The two fairies leaned in to look at the contract, which only required them to swear on their souls to keep the identity of the high priest Carlos secret.
Merulu looked up at Carlos, totally confused as to what this evil creature was trying to do.
The real Carlos was long gone, and they had been trapped in this temple for ten years. Merulu and Pushu did not hesitate to take this opportunity to get out.
The two fairies signed a contract and escaped from the cage.
As soon as Pu Xiu flew out of the cage, he couldn't help but wander around the palace. It had been a long time since he had flown freely.
Merulu's big tangerine-colored eyes moved left and right, and she had something in mind.
Carlos seemed unaware and spoke calmly about the mission: "It is rumored that a world-destroying black dragon appeared in a small town on the northern border. His Majesty is convinced that the Jinkeli clan can once again make a contract with the dragon, so he asked you to accompany Lord Jinkeli to investigate."
Merulu's expression changed slightly. The world-destroying black dragon appeared again
The next morning, the Twin Fairy Knights accompanied Mickey Kinklay, a team of Templar Knights, and a team of Royal Magicians to the Emerald Town on the border.
Mickey Kinklay is the younger brother of the Duke of Perth Kinklay and the uncle of the eldest daughter Helena Kinklay.
With the lessons learned from the previous times, Mickey and his companions did not break into any shops when they arrived at Emerald Town. Instead, they found a hotel in the town to stay and collect intelligence first.
There are many rumors about the nail salon in the town, and the Templars and magicians have collected a lot of information.
Some say there is a dragon in the store, some say the store owner is the dragon, and some say there is no dragon in the store, only monsters.
People in Emerald Town have polarized opinions about nail salons. Many women say that Lu Yao's Nail Salon is a nail salon with excellent nail art. There is indeed a slime in the shop, but that slime has a gentle personality and is very capable.
Many people also said that the nail salon raised ferocious monsters, including dragons, slimes, demons, and necromancers.
Mickey Kinckle, the Knight Commander, the Magician Squad Leader, and the Twin Fairy Knights were integrating intelligence in the room.
The dragons and slimes in the store were old information, but the demons and necromancers were new employees who had only recently appeared.
The Knight Commander and the magician didn't know what was going on, but Mickey Kinklay knew it all clearly. It was all his niece's fault. Not only did she not get closer to the dragon, but she sent two powerful helpers instead.
I don’t know if those monsters have problems with their brains. They kill one by one. Not only do they fail to complete the task, but they are also willing to stay in the store as apprentices.
It’s ridiculous to think about dyeing customers’ nails.
The magician spoke first: "This is the only information we can gather in town. If we want to find out more, we can only go to the store."
Knight Commander: "The question is who should we send? That shop doesn't even take heroic adventurers seriously. If knights and ordinary magicians are exposed, they will be kicked out immediately."
Puxiu sat on an upside-down earthenware cup, his big lemon-yellow eyes filled with innocence. He raised his hand and said, "My Lord Marquis, please let Merulu and I serve you. As fairies, we are weak and cute, and it is easy for us to be loved by humans. Even if there are other alien races in the store, they will definitely not think that we are Templar Knights."
Merulu flew over from another cup and landed beside Puxiu. She pouted and whispered, "Who would want to go to such a scary shop with dragons, demons, and necromancers gathered together? Puxiu, are you crazy?"
Mickey Kinklay did not agree immediately and seemed to have doubts.
The Knight Commander and the magician looked at each other, neither of them wanted to take the lead.
If the rumors in the town are true, that store is even scarier than the abyss of hell, and anyone who goes there will be unlucky.
Since the naive fairy knight took the initiative to help, they decisively went with the flow and agreed with Pu Xiu's suggestion.
After a moment, Mickey agreed to Pushu's proposal.
Merulu kicked over the teacup in anger, and Mickey finally showed some joy in his eyes. Maybe he was worrying too much just now.
Although this pair of twin knights are fairies and have always followed Carlos, they are indeed loyal to His Majesty with all their heart.
Meruru and Pushu obtained Mickey's permission, took off their holy knight armor, transformed into ordinary fairies in the forest, and flew to the nail salon together.
On the way, Pushu whispered to Meruru, "When are we going to escape?"
Merulu rolled her tangerine eyes and said decisively, "Let's first check the situation in that store and make sure the black dragon is really in the store. Even if we want to escape, we can't let the Jinkeli clan get the dragon again."
Pu Xiu flapped his wings slower and slower, and said with some disappointment: "If there really is a dragon, should we still go back?"
The monarch of the empire is ambitious and is willing to break taboos for his own selfish desires. The twin fairies have long lost interest in serving him.
They entered the temple and became Knights of Light simply because they admired the high priest.
But now, the real high priest is gone.
The twin goblins agreed to the evil creature's request just to escape.
Merulu flew back and took Pushu's hand, "How could a dragon willingly serve the human race? The Jinklai clan used threats and inducements to force Drex to surrender. I don't believe there are really dragon employees in the store. Let's go and take a look, just to be at ease. Don't worry, after we confirm, we will immediately set off back to the secret realm."
-
In the nail salon.
Ambrose was practicing the nail art magic circle, and from time to time he heard a soft "tsk" sound beside him, which made him upset.
He raised his head, red light flashing in his bald eye sockets, and asked impatiently: "Edward, why are you still here?"
After the Blood Clan Ancestor left yesterday at noon, everyone thought he was gone. But when the store opened this morning, he and Mumu came to the store together.
Edward and Harold sat together, holding a comic book in their hands, with small words printed on the corner of the page - "A Romantic Love Story of the Vampire Clan". It was about the wonderful love between a human girl and a vampire - the ancestor of the vampire clan unexpectedly opened the door to a new world, frowning and making a light "tsk" sound from time to time.
Hearing Ambrose's irritable accusation, he slowly raised his head and said with joy, "Mum has to stay here to work, so I decided to move here temporarily. By the way, I have bought the small building next to your residence. We will be neighbors in the future, my old friend."
Ambrose: "..."
Edward's decision made Mum very happy.
After a night of self-digestion, he seemed to have accepted the name Mumu and started calling her Mumu outside.
Lu Yao didn't care. Edward was not the same as the vampire she had imagined. He looked like a lonely parent accompanying his child to school.
I had to force people out, and I felt inexplicably pitiful.
Anyway, he was a quiet guy, and most of the time he sat alone in a corner reading comics, so he wouldn't disturb other guests, so we just left him alone.
Moreover, the ancestor of the blood clan is handsome and has a noble temperament.
When he stayed in the store, he would attract some onlookers, and then the business would miraculously improve a lot.
The number of customers who were lost due to the trouble caused by adventurers some time ago is slowly returning.
In fact, the shop assistants all look good, but most of them are young, looking like energetic boys and girls. The only one who is slightly mature is Si Jin.
Si Jin is a handsome and noble man between a teenager and a young man, while the ancestor of the blood clan is mature and elegant, with a hint of fragility and melancholy lingering between his pale eyebrows, which is particularly eye-catching.
In the morning, Lu Yao received a lady who came from the city of Braibis.
Not long after the lady left, several new guests arrived one after another.
At this time, Mum and the others were receiving guests, while Ambrose and Clarissa were concentrating on studying.
Edward blended seamlessly into Sikin and Harold's slacking group. The three of them huddled in a corner reading comic books with great interest.
Lu Yao received the two guests and then retreated to his study to read.
After looking at it for a while, I opened the illustration. The icons of vampires, demons, undead, elves, sub-humans, humans and dragons were all lit up, leaving only the icons of demons, fairies and a black icon of unknown origin.
She thought about it and realized that there was Mumu in the demon tribe, so there was no need to look for her separately. The only things she needed to worry about were the fairies and the last icon.
Ambrose said that both elves and fairies were races favored by Mother Earth. But fairies were more mysterious than elves and rarely appeared in places where humans lived. Elves might know information about fairies.
Lu Yao planned to go to Onoton City and ask Fraser while the store was not busy.
She told the clerk that she was going out for a while. Harold silently put down the book and walked up to her, "I'll go with you."
Lu Yao did not refuse. The magical world was much more violent than she had imagined, and she felt that she really needed the protection of a dragon.
When the two came out of the store, Harold saw that Lu Yao's bangs were sticking up, so he reached out to help her smooth them out. Suddenly, an idea popped into his mind.
He paused, his dark blue eyes hiding shyness and a hint of anticipation, and whispered, "Do you want to fly to Onoton City from the sky?"
Lu Yao looked at him in surprise for a while, and asked in a low voice: "You want to fly?"
Harold looked away, a faint blush appeared on his cheeks, and he nodded slightly: "... Yeah."
It was a very sudden idea, or perhaps it was an idea that I had a long time ago.
He wanted Lu Yao to see his true appearance.
Not a boy, but a little black dragon.
Will she be afraid or will she like it
Harold didn't know what he wanted.
But even Slime has a father, so why was he born a lonely dragon
Lu Yao thought about it carefully and suddenly became excited: "Will I start flying from here? Will I fall?"
Harold took her hand, took a deep breath, and tried to appear steady and reliable. "No, my back is very broad. But we'd better go outside the town."
The man and the dragon walked away hand in hand, and Meruru and Pushu flew out from a hidden corner.
The surprise in Pushu's eyes had not yet faded: "Is that Drex?"
Merulu couldn't help but roll her eyes, "When you met Drex, he was almost two thousand years old. Look at that kid, he's no more than a hundred years old."
Pushu actually understood it, but the boy with black hair and a high ponytail really looked like Drex.
Well, a teenage version of Drex.
Merulu recalled the scene she just saw and couldn't help but say, "I think his way of acting like a spoiled child is nine times as good as Drex's."
Pushu finally reacted at this moment. His lemon yellow pupils widened. He looked a little stunned because of surprise. "Are you saying that the child is Drex's son? That rumor... Drex really fell in love with the human race?"
Merulu: “…”
Silence spread, and Merulu felt that Pushu's mind might have gone mad in the temple.
It was obvious that the child was a pure dragon and had great power.
How could there be a hybrid of human and dragon
Back then, she couldn't figure out what leverage Drex had over Jinkley that made her willing to sign a subordinate contract.
And rumors inexplicably began to spread in the world that the dragon fell in love with the noble lady of the Kinkley family and was willing to be driven by others for love, which became a laughing stock for a while.
Seeing Harold, Merulu had a vague guess.
The Kinclair clan is far more filthy and hateful than the world knows.
However, Drex's child seemed to trust another human being.
Merulu was anxious and was about to go into the store to find out the news, but now she was no longer in a hurry.
"Let's follow and see." Merulu flapped her wings and landed behind the man and the dragon.
Pushu followed.
-
On the barren hill outside Emerald Town, Lu Yao stood on a stone.
Harold stood in an open space twenty meters away from her. His magic power surged, tearing through his clothes, and scales covered his skin bit by bit.
The handsome and elegant young man turned into a black dragon as tall as a hill right before her eyes.
