Not noticing Li Ke's secretive attitude, Xier saw her hesitation and waited quietly aside with a slightly expectant expression.
This undoubtedly made this female water dragon even more difficult to control.
Just when she was racking her brains, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration and found the best excuse to delay. She hurriedly said: "Syl, think about it, I told too many stories at that time. How can you possibly remember it? If you are not in a hurry, how about I go back and discuss it with Walter, sort out more information, and then bring it to you together? "
As she said this, Rico's sky-blue eyes rolled around, and her back paws moved restlessly, scratching the ground.
At this point, seeing Syl's thoughtful expression, she became more and more guilty. She endured her panic and asked as if nothing had happened: "Oh, Syl, can I ask which dragon egg you like best?" What’s the story?”
Xier came back to his senses and responded to Li Ke's question without doubting that he was there. He said a little shyly: "After it came back... it called me 'Mom' very happily. This was the first time I heard him speak in dragon language." , I really want to find out what happened. I'm sorry, my dear friend, I didn't mean to rush you, I hope you won't be scared by me."
"of course not!"
In the eyes of Walter, who knows her well, Rico's performance at this time is simply full of flaws - she is a typical character whose voice becomes louder and her actions become more and more exaggerated as she becomes more guilty.
While she was desperately turning her poor brain, thinking about which of the gossips about other dragons she told Walter yesterday about which one brought up the word "mother", she patted her chest exaggeratedly and vowed Said: "I will definitely figure it out, just wait with confidence."
Xier smiled happily. Whenever the little golden dragon, who usually looked gentle but was actually cold and indifferent, talked about dragon eggs, he was always full of soft light and love that made the Shuilong couple's hearts beat: "That's really true." Thank you so much, my important friends. I guessed it was water-based early on, and judging from the way it likes you so much, I must have guessed right."
His gratitude really came from the bottom of his heart: Ever since the water dragon egg was taken care of by Rico, his mood had been quite high. In order to imitate her words, he successfully uttered a complete dragon language for the first time, until the pitiful magic power was drained by those short nouns.
The timing may be a coincidence, but this is enough to prove its closeness to Rico, who is also a water attribute.
Rico blinked slowly.
That, um, pretty little blue egg... I like her.
After realizing this, her originally a little nervous mood became much lighter unconsciously.
Obviously she couldn't feel any movement in the egg at all, let alone specific emotions. Even the "vitality" that Sil always mentioned in a natural manner, she and Walter had always just pretended to believe.
But when she heard what Syl said, she couldn't help but want to believe him, and nodded blankly: "Oh, that's perfect."
"Well, dear Rico, since he likes you so much and we are good friends," Syl naturally made further requests and said sincerely to the complicated-looking Rico, "I can Will you please come and visit it often? Even just for a little while. Both it and I will be very happy."
"...Oh," Rico only hesitated for a moment, and then instinctively agreed under the burning jealous gazes of the surrounding water dragons: "Of course, it is my honor."
After achieving his goal, Syl did not leave immediately. Instead, he politely accompanied Rico and Walter to bask in the sun all morning under the water dragon's favorite waterfall, and then left before the sun became too scorching.
As soon as his golden figure disappeared into the distance, the water dragons who had deliberately put on awkward and graceful postures but had never been able to attract Syl's attention also stopped pretending.
They gathered around one after another, asking all kinds of questions about the little golden dragon just now, and how Li Ke and the others made friends with him, and they confidently pestered them to introduce themselves to him.
In their eyes, since Rico and Walter can have such a good relationship with Sil, then they who are also water dragons and have similar strength must also be able to do it.
"Stop dreaming during the day," Rico rolled her eyes and said unceremoniously: "Sil rarely leaves the lair. He is unique and doesn't like the noisy golden dragon! And you have all seen it. , he is still a sub-adult!"
Strictly speaking, Frame also likes to be a loner like this - bah.
Of course, the female water dragon who said this still covets the cute little golden dragon, but the desire that is purely driven by instinct has become shallow as the number of interactions with Siel increases.
Her intuition told her that Siel was really just a good friend to her... But while she felt pity for that feeling, miraculously, it wasn't bad at all.
After listening to Li Ke's words, some water dragons temporarily gave up their minds, while others were unwilling to give in. Their eyes rolled around, obviously wanting to find Xier's residence by themselves.
Walter saw the sneaky demeanor of those dragons and was worried that Syl would be harassed because of them. He quickly added: "Although Syl is a sub-adult, he is very powerful. The last one is not invited. You won’t forget what happened to Jilai’s suitor after he angered him, right?”
——After Blaze was so humiliated that time, he lay in the lair for ten days before he recovered. Now he is too embarrassed to appear in front of Ciel again, so he just vents his anger on Wind.
The water dragon itself is not as proficient in combat as the naturally aggressive fire dragon, and most of its tempers are more tactful and cunning. After recalling the fate of Blaze, the remaining few who were still hesitant temporarily gave up their thoughts. .
After basking in the sun in the morning, the water dragons would either fly to the coast covered by dense forests, or prepare to burrow into the cool caves under the waterfalls to survive the unbearable hot afternoon.
As for the hot weather, although Ciel couldn't be said to be as comfortable as a fire dragon, he was far from feeling uncomfortable.
In addition, Huahua Mountain has tall rock walls that provide shade. When he cleaned, he only removed the rot and vines, but the big trees were preserved. Even in the increasingly hot afternoons, he adapted well.
What's more, he gained a lot from his trip in the morning, and his mood immediately became better.
——Until he saw the big fire dragon standing silently next to the grotto.
When a dazzling flame suddenly appeared in his eyes, Syl's first reaction was to be wary, thinking that Blaze was here to seek revenge.
But soon, he could tell that the figure was far more powerful and strong than ordinary dragons. Even if he was just standing quietly, he still had a majestic and imposing aura, and it was not the Blaze who had been beaten by him.
It looks very familiar.
In the flash of lightning, Siel swooped down without hesitation and landed lightly on the ground.
The weight and strength of the dragon's body are of course extremely impressive, but Ciel cherishes the front yard he has cleaned with his own hands. He will not be as rude as other dragons who often break heavy rocks and show no sympathy even at the door of their own house. .
He even used wind and earth magic as a buffer every time he took off and landed, and this time was no exception - only two very shallow marks were left on the sand.
Just like a golden fallen leaf, supported by the gentle breeze, it gracefully and delicately crossed the sky, and finally floated lightly to the sandy ground.
This kind of gentle and elegant landing posture, which is absolutely unique in the dragon clan and not even used by wind-attribute dragons, is clearly reflected in the pupils of this large fire dragon.
He still stood with a noble and cool look, saying nothing, as if he was sure that Syl would recognize him as an uninvited guest, waiting for Syl's approach.
However, when Ciel stopped four or five steps away from him and stared at him calmly, he took the initiative to break the silence.
"I'm Frame."
He introduced himself concisely and concisely, and even stretched out his neck to rub the little golden dragon as never before, but the words in his mouth were harsh: "I know you are Syl, the only golden dragon."
The implication is that you don’t need to introduce yourself.
As soon as he finished speaking, he watched those shining golden eyes glance over him with a hint of evaluation, and after only a short wait, he was satisfied with the friendly response from the little golden dragon.
Even Ciel, who doesn't like to socialize, has definitely heard the name of the most powerful and bad-tempered fire dragon on Dragon Island from his friends.
Just through the brief meeting last time, he could clearly feel the strength gap between the two sides.
After actually fighting with Blaze and discussing with his friends, he knew that his innate advantages as a golden dragon were enough for him to defeat many adult elemental dragons.
But just 'many'.
In particular, Frame has a reputation for being aggressive. Even if the two sides are equal in strength, the experienced Frame will definitely be able to overpower him.
After quickly assessing the gap between the two sides, Xier took the most polite attitude to receive this unknown fighting maniac.
In Frame's eyes, the sub-adult dragon with bright golden eyes not only had a sweet voice, but also had a sweet breath: "It's a pleasure to meet again, Lord Frame."
"Um."
Although they were just polite words, the big fire dragon looked serious. He obviously believed it and made many requests calmly: "I'm also very happy. Don't call me Lord Flame, just call me Flame. Don't use any other words." 'you'."
"……I see."
Frame's attitude seemed strange. Syl agreed temporarily, and then while thinking about it, while preparing to persuade the other party to let him put the eggs back into the nest first, the big fire dragon frowned and continued: "Wood is here. pass?"
It's a completely unfamiliar name.
The daze in his eyes was not missed by Frame. The flame dragon paused for a moment, tried his best to imitate other dragons and slowed down his tone, and explained: "The emerald you are wearing has an aura that clearly belongs to Wood. .”
Syl was shocked when he heard this and looked in the direction that Frame said.
It turned out to be the emerald he felt was too valuable and he deliberately brought it with him, but accidentally forgot to ask the Shuilong couple about its origin.
This is actually the legendary and extremely precious magic diamond?
"I don't know the Wood you mentioned." Syl denied it at first, and then explained: "I accidentally discovered it when I was patrolling the territory. He must have lost it accidentally."
There was indeed the scent of other dragons in his territory, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, after the commotion at Blaze, few dragons dared to harass him openly, but that didn't mean they wouldn't sneak a few glances.
"Wood won't be so careless, and he has never been in the habit of going for a walk in Huahua Mountain. He will put it here with you because he gave it to you specially."
The flame dragon, whose strength has always been proud of Dragon Island, didn't know what euphemism meant. He asked bluntly: "You specifically kept these two gems and carried them with you... is it because you like him, or do you like gems?"
I don’t know why, but Sil didn’t feel any discomfort towards Frame’s seemingly aggressive questioning.
Perhaps it was because Frame had a particularly open attitude and simply wanted to find out the truth about this matter, unlike Blaze at that time.
He had nothing to hide about this gem, so he replied: "No. I don't want to accept gifts from strange dragons, nor do I want to embezzle their beloved treasures. I just keep it with me because I don't want to lose it, so I can return it early. Lost owner."
Having said this, Ciel hesitated for a moment, and then made a request in a strange way: "Since Frame, you know the owner of this gem, can you do me a favor and return it to him for me, and ask him not to send any more." Are you bringing a gift?"
Although I don’t know why, Frame seems to be particularly friendly to him—perhaps because of the gift of black algae.
Thinking that the other party might feel that he owed him a favor, so he did not hesitate to show his disapproval of him even though he felt awkward. Syl, who was self-respecting, only thought about it briefly and decided to "trouble" the most powerful being on Dragon Island.
After all, being able to possess such a large and beautiful gem is enough to prove that the strength of Wood, whom he has never met before, is definitely not that bad.
If he wanted to return this inexplicable gift, he might offend the dragon, but if it were the powerful Flame who came forward, that might not be the case.
Anyway...even if he is rejected by Frame, it doesn't matter.
"good."
However, after hearing this unprecedented request, the seemingly cold-hearted Fire Dragon just raised his eyes and stared into his eyes for a while, and then readily agreed.
