"Huh~ I'm finally back."

When I walked out of the misty forest, I was faced with a plain of cold plains. The familiar scenery and the cold air that hit my nostrils made me take a deep breath involuntarily. I wanted to open the teleportation scroll and return to Rogge Camp immediately.

Looking back carefully, this trip to the Dragon Paradise was really just a quick tour, and I only visited the areas around the Dragon's Nest. In fact, according to Aikarai, the Dragon Paradise is much larger than this small area, and there are distinct four seasons there.

, if I remember correctly, spring is in the east, autumn is in the west, summer is in the south, and winter is in the north. Most dragons choose to build [villas] based on their preference for the climate. For these dragons, the dragon nest should be a hometown + a market.

Definition: I usually don’t come back when I have nothing to do. I either wander around or sleep in my villa.

We didn't see too many dragons in the Dragon's Lair, just for this reason.

I didn’t even have time to visit the Land of Four Seasons. Let’s not talk about the crystals. Even Finiona and the others went to take a look. I felt like I was at a big loss this time. If someone asks me what’s so great about Dragon Paradise after I go back

How should I answer? I can't say that I lay there most of the time.

"Oh? Have you finally left?"

"Yes, I left, but I believe I will go again one day, and I will definitely visit Dragon Paradise by then." The mysterious voice that suddenly appeared made me subconsciously nod in answer, and it took a few seconds for me to react.

Wait, who was it just now? That low, frivolous, very familiar male voice.

Aika Lai, Dragon Lena, Crystal, Chaxi, Bisi, Oona, and Feini glanced at each one. They were all women. Could it be Feini? She has finally changed her voice at this age.

Period, it’s almost impossible to maintain the form of a transvestite?

"Meow, meow, meow, it's definitely not me, meow." Seeing my eyes locked, Feini quickly shook her head and cleared the relationship.

"Hahaha, I'm shocked, right? The effect is good, as I expected." The low and frivolous voice came out again, and now I heard it clearly. Isn't this the voice of Valkmit?

"Hey, uncle, where are you? Don't scare us." I looked around suspiciously. With Valchemite's strength, it was absolutely easy for him to follow behind without our knowledge.

"Your Excellency Wu Fan." At this time, Aikalay let out a soft sigh.

"Please take that stone out of your pocket."

"Stone? Are you talking about the stone that Ebit gave me as a gift for my first visit?" I didn't doubt it, so I took out the stone engraved with charms as instructed. It still couldn't be put down in the inventory. It was very mysterious. Could it be?

Is it related to Valchemit?

As a result, I had just taken out my pocket and before I had time to ask, the stone emitted a burst of white light, suddenly detached from my hand, and floated in the air. After another burst of bright light, the stone disappeared, replaced by a cigarette stick in its mouth, looking carefree.

A handsome Valchemite stands before us.

I:"……"

So what, Lord Ebit, can I return it? Is it still too late?

"Hey, thank you for taking care of me, kid." Seeing me looking like a cockroach-like blue mushroom, Valkmit greeted me with an extremely evil smile. I said, "Uncle, you are already a grown man. My daughter is still there."

Look, don’t like to play tricks on others so much, okay?

"Uncle Valkmit, why would you..." Although I looked helpless, I still asked in accordance with international practice. If you eat cockroaches, you have to let me eat them, right?

"As you can see, I asked Ebit to seal me in the stone and asked you to help bring me out. The old man was watching me too closely, so I had no choice but to do this. By the way, your pockets should be cleaned too.

, there’s a cockroach poop in it.”

Oops, it turns out that I was not the only one who was deflated. When I thought about it, I immediately felt balanced. Thanks to that kind-hearted cockroach whose name I don’t know, he pooped in my pocket in time.

"Lord Fix didn't allow you to run away from home, so you asked Lord Ebitt for help and escaped through my pocket, right?"

"You're absolutely right. Isn't it fun to use different tricks to run away from home every time and compete with the old man in a battle of wits and courage?" Valkmit gave a thumbs up with a very hearty smile.

"Aikarai, you already knew this?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wu Fan, I already knew about that stone when I saw it. It wasn't that I wanted to hide it from you, but I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to pass Grandpa's test after knowing it. Grandpa's true eyes can see through anything.

That's a lie." Aikalay looked apologetic.

"Then don't you know that too?"

"First of all, grandpa will not use the Eye of Truth on me. Secondly, even if he does, I will have a way to deal with it." The white dragon girl stuck out her tongue mischievously.

"Eh, eh? Why would you, Valkmit..." At this time, the evil dragon Reina seemed to realize in surprise, "Hey, there is also a big fool who was stunned here. I am not the only one, and there are more companions."

One, so happy.

"Hahahaha, even the naughty little Lena was shocked. It seems that I did a very good job." Valkmit's smile became even worse.

At this moment, Aikalay said lightly: "Dad, actually I have considered fetching stones from Mr. Wu Fan and throwing them directly into the dragon's tomb."

"I'm sorry, I got too carried away. Please forgive me, father, my smart and lovely daughter." Valchemit immediately bent down and apologized, fully confirming the principle that one thing will bring down another.

"Wha...what, I was deceived. That guy Ebit, I felt strange at the time. Why did he never give me any first-time gift when I went to his store for the first time? I thought it was a gift for my first visit.

This stupid Druid suddenly became popular with everyone, so that’s what happened.”

The evil dragon Leina went first and was very angry. Then when she talked about me, she looked over and looked up and down. She couldn't help but laugh and ran to hug Aikalay.

"Sister Aikarai, just don't tell the idiot Druid. Why don't you tell me? It's too much."

"Rena, I'm sorry, I was afraid you would still be angry with dad."

"Hmph, I don't want to compete with a housekeeper with such a bad personality." The evil dragon Lena frowned at Valchemit. Based on my understanding of this guy, she could say such a thing to Valchemite.

It means that the grudge in your heart is completely gone.

It can be clearly noticed that Aikalay caressed her plump chest, completely put down the stone hanging on her heart, and breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that she cares about Reina as her best friend. The relationship between the two is so good that it is surprising.

Envious.

"Yes, yes, what little Lena said is right. My bad character is no longer cured." Valchemit didn't take it seriously, but laughed proudly.

"Hey, wait, why would Grandpa Ebit want to help you? Isn't he afraid of being criticized by Grandpa Fix?"

When the evil dragon Lena mentioned this, Valkmit, who had been smiling smugly before, suddenly turned bitter and said: "What else can you do? Just buy the deal, otherwise you think that the stingy profiteer Ebit will really be so generous.

Giving you more than forty pieces of equipment for no reason?"

"What?"

"The price I paid is much more than those equipments. That little old man Ebit is probably counting his treasures behind closed doors with a proud look on his face."

"I'm just wondering why Ebit suddenly became so generous." Not only Evil Dragon Lena, but also me looked surprised. In fact, I already thought it was strange. Both Aika Lai and Evil Dragon Lena said that Ebit was

A profiteer, but his every move yesterday was completely unlike a profiteer. It turned out that there were so many mysteries in it.

Among the crowd, only Aikalay had a calm expression and did not show any signs of surprise. It seemed that he had already estimated this possibility. Seeing that our eyes had all fallen on her, Aikalay shook his head with a chuckle.

"Actually, the contest with Grandpa Ebit has already started since Lord Dragon King gave His Excellency Wu Fan a reply. The details are too complicated and will be very troublesome to explain, so please forgive me."

After saying that, Aikalay's eyes fell on her father: "Dad, even I can guess it. Do you think grandpa can't figure it out?"

"Really, don't give me any face, my daughter, can't I admit that it was the old man who let things slip on purpose? No, maybe he will regret it again at some point. I have to run away quickly. Boy, give me a gift

Remember, just rest assured that when the decision is made through discussion, Aikalayi will be responsible."

As soon as he finished speaking, Valkmit's figure disappeared without a trace, and his movement trajectory could not be found at all. It seems that the strength gap between me and the Seven Giants is still immeasurable.

But before leaving, he sent me a private message.

"Boy, don't forget to come to me if you have any news. I guess you haven't lost that note."

Yes, yes, Lu Gaoyin, right? I'm familiar with that place. Even if nothing happens, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist my curiosity and visit the house to see how the life of Julong's family, who is hiding in the city, is going.

As a result, in the end, I am afraid that Valkemet still did not tell Aikalay about the fact that she has a adopted sister. This uncle looks suave, informal, and has a bold personality, but he also has such a timid side. He is probably

Because I love Aikalayi so much, I don’t know how to speak for fear of her being angry.

After watching Valkemet leave, we looked at each other, and finally we all turned into helpless smiles.

"I'm sorry, father, for causing you trouble."

"It's okay, it's okay, I hope I can help."

I gave up, saying it was impossible not to lose it. I thought that little stone contained an amazing secret that even the giant dragon didn't know about. For example, it contained a grandfather with extraordinary strength? From now on,

I embarked on a useless journey against the heavens, became the great elder, was promoted to the king of the continent, and married the dragon princess. Unexpectedly, there was indeed a person hidden inside, but he was an unreliable uncle who acted like a fool, not the ring, bracelet, and necklace I expected.

grandfather.

Fu Guoda!

"Food, the fragrant food made by the owner of Veras is calling for the crystal." While I was still immersed in sadness, I had been eating the crystal of Veras's special love dry food for a day, but I didn't seem to notice Val Kemet's words.

After the show, in the blink of an eye, she picked up a trail of billowing dust and flew away.

"Stupid kid Emma, ​​you have a teleportation scroll." I held my forehead and lamented helplessly.

"Even the direction was wrong. It should have been this way. She ran towards the Stone Wilderness. If the Dark Continent was round, she would probably be able to return home after running for a year and a half."

Everyone: "..."

"What's wrong with you? Hurry up and stop Crystal."

"Cousin, cousin." In the end, Di Feini pulled my cuff.

"Let me tell you something, don't be angry, meow."

"I'm not angry, you say."
