——4e, 201, the last month, 25th, 19:00——
After a whole day of busy work, the guards patrolling outside Xueman City began to enter the city and change the guards on the night shift. Farmers and millers with real estate in the city also started to enter the city after leaving their workers to watch overnight. As for the nobles and those in the city People at work have already started to have dinner.
In the mead hall of Yuvaska, except for the members of the comrades who have not returned home for the time being on long-distance missions, most of them are gathering around the circular fire pit to drink and talk.
"That 'leathermaker' is just a leader and doesn't know much." Wilkas said to Arthur, holding a glass of mead.
"Hmm." Arthur nodded to show that he was listening, and then continued to deal with the three-tusked walrus steak in front of him.
The three-tusked walrus is a large sea beast that lives along the coast of the province. They are named after their three huge incisors that serve as weapons. Coupled with their thick, smooth and tight skin, they were originally almost invincible, but due to The meat itself is delicious, and a terrifying enemy called the fisherman appears out of thin air.
Last night, no, this morning, after Arthur returned to Yuvaska and reported the ins and outs of the matter to Krako Whitemane, he fell down and fell into a deep sleep until he woke up not long ago, and then he felt a "want" Swallowing a mammoth” hunger.
No, I didn’t swallow a mammoth! Arthur thought sadly, but after finishing the walrus meat, he kept reaching for the large piece of fried venison with his knife and fork.
"The appetite after the 'change' will be huge," Wilkas smiled: "Don't worry, you are definitely not the first one to eat like this."
No, werewolves and dragons are definitely different.
"What does that 'leathermaker' know?" Arthur forcibly changed the subject.
"His stronghold was not involved in weapons manufacturing or personnel training. It only captured wild...beasts and sent the skins to specific locations for resale." Wilkas's eyes flashed with fierceness: "That place is located extremely far away. To the northwest of , it's called 'Filheimer Castle'. In addition, he also knows a place called 'Treva Watchtower', but what it does is still unclear."
"Well, it turns out that he is indeed just a 'leathermaker'." Arthur destroyed the venison while talking, and then pulled over a plate of charcoal-grilled salmon: "Then we will raid there later?"
Arthur did not ask what happened to the tanner. Although Craco promised not to kill him, he might not have the chance to see him again.
"It's just a transshipment warehouse. If a high-profile raid will make Silver Hand abandon it, we have to wait until Cisco comes back to formulate a secret occupation plan. Count as many delivery teams as we can capture before other strongholds find something wrong. Wilkas drank up the mead in his hand, raised his glass to Arthur, and then turned and left.
So he ate three large portions of meat while he drank a glass of wine? Arthur looked at the grilled fish with only fish bones left in front of him, and felt that his hunger had only been relieved a little. He sighed and turned his attention to a whole plate of roasted potatoes. According to experience, this thing seemed to be very hungry, but he didn't know Does it apply to the dragon's appetite?
"Have a good appetite, Arthur Pendragon." Following the wild and arrogant female voice, Ella sat down next to Arthur, put her arms on his shoulders, and took a piece of his plate. Tudou: "But you are so exhausted after just one night. You still need to exercise."
"It's obviously your fault, right?" Arthur glared at her. Apparently Ella's werewolf form didn't consume her much. Not only did she not fall asleep or have a big appetite, Bai even ran out to complete a few commissions, and she might remain at any time. Any form is fine.
"Haha, I'm not that heavy, right? You're obviously too pushy." Ella took a bite of potatoes and sighed twice: "Everything you eat now tastes like yours, how are you going to compensate me?"
"Didn't you insist on doing that...eh?" Arthur ate all the potatoes, and belatedly realized that the members of the comradeship group dining at Yuvaska looked at him a little wrong. They were obviously just talking in a subtle way. He talked about how he was bitten by Ella and turned into a dragon, and then forced to fight the Blade Warriors behind her back, but it seemed that he didn't understand what he meant.
"The two of them..." "No way?" "Maybe..." Other diners whispered.
"Did you do it on purpose?" Arthur frowned and looked at Ella. After the previous battle, he already knew that this huntress was not as cold and serious as she showed, and she was obviously acting up now.
"I have decided that if I have any further commissions in the future, I will definitely ask you to go with me." Ella let go of Arthur and turned around to get the bread.
"Are there any rumors in the city today?" Arthur saw a pot of beef stew in a blink of an eye, so he reached out and pulled it over.
"According to rumors, I heard that Loristed was attacked by a dragon, and then the dragon was killed by a 'dragon-slaying warrior'." Ella pointed to the southwest: "But the dragon didn't look like The one you killed also burned up and left only a skeleton. Village elder Luoli didn't know what to do with it at all. Maybe you can stop by and suck the dragon soul away on your next mission - that thing won't disappear on its own, right?"
"It won't disappear. If the black dragon looking for the dragon tomb is rushed away, it can probably be resurrected." Arthur shook his head: "The only one who can completely kill the dragon is the dragonborn, but I don't know if it's not me. Can the dragon you kill absorb the dragon soul?"
"Anyway, there is no loss in trying. In addition, someone saw one or two giant dragons appearing near Xueman. They may be attacking the town, but no one believes it." Ella raised the corners of her mouth slightly as she spoke. .
Yes, those two dragons have already come in...wait?
"Sophila - no, where is Sophie?" Arthur asked quickly, feeling deeply ashamed that he was only focusing on eating and forgetting about his newly adopted "daughter".
"While you were sleeping soundly, Aunt Tilma had already arranged for her," Ella pointed to the direction of Yuevaska's residential area: "Live with Riya."
"Is it appropriate? Ria is an ordinary girl, right?" Arthur has not been in the comrades for a long time. He has no special impression of the only child in the comrades. He only thinks that she is sensible and polite, but there is more There was no more, and there was almost no conversation. It was guessed that she was the daughter of a sacrificed comrade.
"Well, I'll do that," Ella moved closer to Arthur and lowered her voice: "Clarco didn't have to hide that he was a werewolf in front of her, do you understand?"
"Her sacrificed father was a Circle member?" Arthur guessed, bringing a basin of vegetable soup.
"We also guessed this, but the members of the circle in recent years have been recorded, and Krako refused, so we can only think so for the time being - oh, it seems that they get along well." Ella pointed to the residence. direction of the area.
"If you want to eat, come here. There is food on the round table at any time." The two girls walked over hand in hand. Ria, with short brown hair, was wearing a common brown children's skirt, and Sophie, with long pink and silver hair, came over hand in hand. She was still wearing that strange pink and white dress, but to Arthur's relief, the horns on her head and the tail behind her had disappeared.
"Can I eat everything? Dad told me not to eat randomly, or I will be beaten." Sophie said softly. Arthur noticed that her eyes were not only looking at the food on the table, but also sweeping over the tables, chairs, furnishings, and Those members of the comrades who were having a meal and smiling at the two cute girls.
"Is that what you're doing?" Ella glanced sideways at Arthur with an unkind expression: "No wonder she refuses to eat at all."
"Dragon language," Arthur replied in a low voice, "otherwise? If she is allowed to eat whatever she wants, Yuvaska won't even be enough for a meal."
"Well, okay." Ella thought about the scene of Yuevaska Longhouse being eaten like bread, and shrugged.
"Hmph, don't listen to your father, you can eat whatever you want in this hall~" Riya waved her hand boldly.
"Incredible." Sophie opened her mouth.
"Sophie! Come here!" Arthur shouted quickly when he saw that the situation was not good. He could only hope that the elders in the dragon family would have some authority.
"Dad." Sophie looked at Leah, who was gesticulating all over Arthur, but walked towards Arthur and Ella honestly.
"Listen, Sophie, you can only eat what Dad, Aunt Ella, and Grandpa Clark give you, you know?" Arthur touched Sophie's head with a headache: "You are absolutely not allowed to mess around. Eat, or you’ll get beaten.”
"Well." Sophie seemed to have thought of something, holding her head in her hands with tears in her eyes.
Those blade warriors must have affected her when they hunted Saloknir, Arthur thought with a frown, but there seemed to be no reason to stop them from hunting the rebellious dragon.
"Bullying children..." "Not giving them enough to eat..." "How pitiful..." Several disdainful looks appeared in the noisy mead hall again.
"Okay, these are for you." Arthur pulled Sophie in front of him, and together with Ella, he slightly blocked the eyes of other comrades, and then started to give her the things on the table.
Bread, cheese, lamb shank, salad, fruit plate, as he expected, all came one bite at a time - together with the plate, if you had really listened to Riya just now, there would be few people in the hall who could sit down now, that girl Now he was still glaring at himself angrily from the other side of the hall.
Zhi——The two of them were feeding happily, but unexpectedly the side door of the longhouse behind them suddenly opened, and Cisco Yue walked in, facing Sophie: "Yo, you guys——"
Ugh! Sophie showed her head and swallowed him into her mouth.
Oops, Sophie doesn't know him!
"Cisco Moon! Where are you going?" Arthur yelled in a panic, then picked up Sophie and rushed out: "Spit it out! That's not what wolves can't eat!"
