sad way to slay a dragon

Chapter 12

hand!It would be too much to drown him! "

Just as he tried to arbitrate, the water arched and swelled.

In the next instant, the sound of explosions, shattered rocks of various sizes, an astonishing amount of water droplets, and hot wind all hit Alf together.

Shera's power was activated immediately, protecting the trees centered on Alphador, preventing them from being attacked by storms and stones.

Because of the sudden high heat, the water droplets evaporate instantly.For a while, pockets of water vapor covered the perimeter of the waterfall like a drooping fog.

On the opposite side of the hot mist, a slight coughing sound could be heard.

"Brat! Are you okay?"

Because Alpha cared more about the children of the same race, the surrounding wind spirits blew away the water vapor.

The scenery of the waterfall and its surroundings has changed drastically. Broken stones are scattered all over the place. In the center of the waterfall where all the water has evaporated, the red dragon with its short legs raised and its buttocks on the ground is coughing lightly.

On his head was a curious red thing resembling a lizard, looking proudly around.

Because of the protection of the water spirit, Alphado, who does not have the protection of the fire spirit, has never seen a materialized fire spirit before.And even though it's just one, it's full of astonishing oppression.

In an instant, the water spirit that tried to drown the baby dragon was destroyed.Because of this power, he intuited that it should be an ancient elf who lived with dragons like Shera.

Shera, who agreed with his judgment, showed him the vision of the beautiful mountain and told him that it was the ancient elf who ruled the volcano since ancient times.

Alphado's first thought was, was the baby dragon abandoned by his parents just like himself?

The red dragon, who temporarily calmed down his cough, raised his face and met the eyes of Alphado who was staring at the ruins of the waterfall.

The amber glasses that go very well with the red body are also reminiscent of fire, which seems to be a color that a fire elf would like.

For the ancient elves, the color of the dragon was very important.Shera once told Alphado that she was attracted by that color and merged.Not only Shera, but ordinary wind elves also like Alf's eye color very much.Because that is very similar to the color of the sky that makes the wind spirits feel most comfortable.

They are so beautiful while dancing lightly in the air while laughing like this.

Therefore, after knowing that Shela, who lived with him, would never fly in the air without Alphador's body again, Alphador was filled with a strong sense of guilt and apology for her.

"Fortunately you're fine."

In order to reassure the other party as much as possible, Alphado consciously adopted a gentle tone.

He didn't intend to blame him for killing the water spirits in the first place.Because they were the ones who tried to kill the dragon first.Even if the opponent is still a child, since he wants to attack Long, he needs to be mentally prepared to suffer corresponding revenge.

The child spread his wings and flew from the waterfall to the meadow where Alphador was.

But, failing to land, he fell face down on the ground.

"It hurts! It hurts!"

Alphado was very confused when he saw the other party holding his nose and crying.

Because I felt that he couldn't be ignored, he thought it might be better to apply ice to his painful place first, so he froze the moisture in the air and made appropriate ice cubes.

After sticking the ice cube on the opponent's nose, the red dragon stopped crying.

The red dragon stretched out its long tongue and snatched the ice cube from his hand and put it in its mouth.He wriggled his jaw up and down, and licked the ice cube selflessly from different angles.It wasn't long before the ice was all licked up.

“Good (delicious)!”

"..."

Even if he yelled so happily, the dumbfounded Alphado had nothing to say.

"It's good (delicious)?"

Judging from the expression and the tone of his voice, he should be begging for more ice.Alphado, who sensed this, grants his wish.

Licking enthusiastically, the ice cubes quickly melted in his mouth.

"It's good (delicious)..."

Exhaling contentedly, the amber eyes finally turned their attention to Alphado.

"Who?"

"Before asking the other person's name, reporting your own name is the basis of communication, kid."

"It's not a brat! Che... thanks... Xie Fadi!"

Although he announced his name with a straight chest, he couldn't pronounce it correctly because his tongue was not flexible enough.This was evident from his embarrassed expression.

Not only is he unable to fly properly, he can't even say his own name clearly.It's certainly not a good thing for such a young dragon to run around without its parents.Judging from his physique a circle smaller than his own, he should be about five years older than himself.Maybe it's because I can finally fly into the sky, so I am too happy to fly around, so I become a lost child, right?

But since he lived in symbiosis with the ancient elves, there shouldn't be anything that can kill this child, right? ——Just like Alphador itself.

Save it for today.If you get a chance, wait until he says his correct name before asking him.

"I'm Alphador. I live in symbiosis with the ancient elves just like you."

"Aru?"

"If you want to be called that, so be it. I'll call you Fadi."

The child opened his mouth wide open, laughing so hard that it seemed his whole face would turn into a mouth.

"Alu! Friends (friends)!"

"..."

——Oops... This stupid face seems quite cute.

What kind of creatures are the dragons of the same family, he thinks he has obtained sufficient knowledge.But he never knew Long would laugh with such an expression.

If you think about it carefully in the future, this is the first time Alphado has a dialogue with other dragons.

Because Shira of Fengyun taught Alphado a lot of knowledge in the form of video, even though he is a young dragon that has never left the forest, his knowledge is richer than that of the oldest dragon.But he also understands that there is still a world of difference between what you know and the real experience.

The ancient elves chose to live in symbiosis with dragons, which is not necessarily a thing that happens once in 1 years.And it's the same situation with two dragons at the same time.Even in the records of Orb of the Dragon Clan, this is unprecedented.

Upon learning of this, one of the elders once said that he hoped this was not the harbinger of something unprecedented and strange.Although it feels like predicting the occurrence of a catastrophe, anyone can say something of this level.

Maybe it was because he felt that he could get ice cubes that he couldn't make, maybe he felt a sense of companionship with the dragon that lived with the ancient elves, maybe it was because of other reasons—maybe he just felt that he had obtained the friend he talked about. ?

From then on, Yanlong Fadi (the false name at the time) began to visit the primeval forest where Alphador lived from time to time.

The primeval forest full of strong natural atmosphere has many animals that can become things.However, because the trees are very dense, it is easy to get lost inside, so humans are almost inaccessible.For Eudemons, this is an ideal environment that is very suitable for habitat.

However, as the number increases, the competition for survival becomes severe.Because there are ferocious carnivorous phantom beasts that can attack baby dragons casually, it is definitely not a place where you can live with peace of mind.

If a child who has not hatched for a few days is thrown into this kind of place, the consequences can be said to be obvious.

Alphador's mother threw the child into the forest from above—in other words, she threw her child to the Eudemons as food.Then head away without hesitation.

Her grandfather used to be the Dragon King, so she thought the birth of her weak son was an insult to her blood.

On the contrary, the wind spirits who witnessed this scene were more kind and affectionate.

In order not to hurt the child, they gently dragged the baby dragon in the air, and then gently sent it to the lair that was not used by wild animals.Having said that.Because they have no entity, they can't do anything further.

They awakened the ancient elf sleeping deep in the forest, and asked her to use primitive power to deal with it.For ordinary elves, ancient elves are like gods in people's minds.

Sheila is getting tired of existence itself because she has lived through so much time since she was born.Because of this, she became interested in the young life that, contrary to her, would disappear immediately after birth.

Attracted by the sky-colored eyes, the wind spirits stared at the young dragon intoxicated.

After looking at such a scene, Shera chose to save the dragon's child by means of symbiosis.

The child with eyes that could fascinate the wind spirits just by gazing, grew up under the protection of the power of the ancient elves and the education of the knowledgeable ancient elves.Then, one day, he saw a red dragon who was younger than himself.

Although there is no need to protect the children who live with the powerful fire spirit, but because they are younger than themselves, they always feel that they must be protected.

A dragon with high intelligence is originally a kind-hearted creature with deep feelings.Alphado's innate character is no exception.

The little red dragon, who appeared suddenly as usual, unilaterally played and played with the older black dragon, leaned on Alphado's body and began to take a nap as if he was tired from playing.

That unseemly look with his legs spread out and his belly exposed didn't change until he became an adult.

Alphado also scolded him lightly once.Tell him that this appearance does not even have the slightest prestige of the king of monsters, and it will disillusion the people around him, so it is best to change it.
