Whispers of the Dragon

Chapter 48

Xuexian went to find a towel and wet it, told Isar not to move, and helped Isar wipe his face and hands clean.He hadn't combed Isar's hair before, but now he took out the comb and helped Isar comb her hair straight.

This dragon enjoys Xue Xian's service very much, not only is it really motionless at his mercy, but also closes its eyes comfortably.

When Xuexian scratched the dragon before, it reacted almost like this.

People outside are still processing wild boar meat in full swing, and it seems that the fire has been rebuilt to deal with the mane of the pig.

From time to time, there were hurried footsteps passing equipment in the aisle.

After everything was sorted out, Xuexian felt his shoulders sink, and Isar opened his arms and leaned his upper body against him, which was a very natural intimacy full of dependence.Immediately afterwards, Isar stuffed an object into Xuexian's hand.

"What is this?" Xue Xian wondered.

When he saw clearly, he showed a surprised expression.

"Isar, have you ever gone back to the island?"

It was a dragon-shaped wooden sculpture that Xuexian carved out of dead wood before, and he gave it to Isar as a gift, and it should have been left in the lair on the small island.For some reason, Isar went and took it out.

Isar responded in a low voice: "Yes."

Seeing the wood carving, Xue Xian remembered something about being in the lair. He pushed Isar away, looked around for a place to put it, and finally tied it with a rope and hung it on the backpack.He felt that Isar would not ask them to go back to "build a nest" together for the time being, and he was relieved.

Yisar watched Xue Xian finish all these.

After Xuexian returned to the bed, Yisaer suddenly said to him: "... people will die."

Isar used declarative sentences, only with some slight doubts in his tone.His logic when speaking human language has never been very fluent, and Xuexian can usually immediately understand what he wants to express, but this is the first time that Isar brought up a topic on his own initiative.

Xue Xian suddenly felt uncomfortable for a while, and also felt a kind of relief from seeing growth.

Long began to think, which was a leap in thinking.

"Why did you say this all of a sudden?" he asked.

Isar's hair was tied behind her ears, and her voice was mixed with a dragon's murmur, very low: "They grow up. Bella, Daisy...Nicole."

Xue Xian replied calmly: "Yes, they grow up. Human beings are like Bella at first, a little baby, and then slowly they grow up into Daisy Roger's kids, and then into teenagers, like me , then mature adult, like Nicole. I was as small as Bella when I first came out of the petri dish, no, smaller...every human being is like this, they grow up."

Isar said: "They grow up and then die."

Xuexian didn't think that Yisar would observe these things, he thought that Yisar was just watching, and it was not considered as a bystander.

He thought for a while and told Isar: "No, not everyone is like Nicole or Daisy's mother. Most people can live to the age of Grandpa Mullen, or even longer. And, there is no distortion. People will be healthier than Grandpa Mullen. For example, my teacher, Dr. Bai, is about the same age as Grandpa Mullen and will soon be 70. The teacher often says that he is a very lucky person, so he shoulders greater responsibilities .”

70 years old, or 80 years old.

This is the age of most human beings.

Isar moved his lips: "A person's life is very short."

Seven to eighty years old, or the even longer eighty to ninety years old, is actually a very long time for humans, but it is indeed very short for dragons.Even if it is not "immortal" like Isar's group, ordinary dragons have a lifespan of two to three hundred years.

They talked about this topic last time, but Isar didn't care about it at the time, or he didn't understand the real meaning at that time.

Xuexian had thought about this issue before, especially when he saw Dr. Bai, who grew up with him, getting old day by day, he also felt flustered and regretful.

But now he doesn't think so.

He told Isar: "Human life is indeed very short. However, it can also be seen from a longer-term perspective. Individual human beings will die, but the fire of human beings will continue, and the entire race will multiply. Even if an individual dies, human beings will die." The body will also decompose into atoms, turn into raindrops, dust, and one day combine with a grass, a tree, become a new life to continue to exist in this world, and repeat. In a sense, we are also with your The ethnic groups are similar."

"No," said Isar, "we die and wake up."

Xue Xian nodded.

"We become an egg again, not grass or tree. We are still us." Isar's golden eyes looked at Xuexian, and said further, "I will mark you and complete the contract. You will wake up too."

Xue Xian understands, he understands, it turns out that Isar must build a nest, and what he said to complete the contract is because of this?

He finally figured out what Isar wanted to express. No wonder Isar said to him "I will find you" before. He didn't expect that there was such a basis for it.

Dragons don't understand human rules, and it doesn't occur to them to explain them.

But in this base, after witnessing human newborns, old people, and death with his own eyes, Isar really touched the beginning and end of human life for the first time.

So he volunteered to explain the rules.

Xue Xian was confused: "I... am awake too? Will I become a dragon?"

Isaac said, "Yes."

Xue Xian was stunned.

Yisar leaned over and pressed his forehead against Xue Xian's, and said softly, "We won't separate."

This is really a fantastic thing, unbelievable.

But Yisar spoke so seriously, which made Xuexian's sense of being needed become stronger again.

He has no whereabouts, but someone is planning his whereabouts.

Xuexian never thought about living forever, or turning into a dragon.

But there was enthusiasm in his eyes.

"Thank you, Isael."

This night, the second night of staying at the human base, both of them slept much more peacefully.The sound of Grandpa Ma Lun's breathing next door would occasionally disturb Xue Xian's sleep, but every time he just frowned, he subconsciously leaned towards Isar and buried his face.

Isar's need for sleep was relatively low, but she did sleep briefly and deeply.

The next morning, everyone at the base was given fresh meat.This made Isar, who was afraid of approaching by everyone, welcome and grateful.

Isael was not there when Doris and Daisy came, and he was still not used to staying in a place where humans lived for a long time.

"I want to thank Isar on behalf of everyone." Doris said, "He's not here, please let me know."

Xuexian said: "You don't have to be polite, Yisaer doesn't care about this."

Doris smiled and said, "He is so kind to you."

Xuexian also thinks so, but Doris's smile always makes him feel that they have different cognitions in some aspects.

"Well, Isar has always been good."

Some places in the soil hole of the base need to be repaired and strengthened, and people took a lot of wood back.Xue Xian said before that he had taken courses related to architecture was not bragging. Although he only took it as an interest course at that time, it could still be of some help.

Luo Jie's electronic notebook is also equipped with a pen, which is more convenient to use. Xue Xian even borrowed it from him, and specially drew diagrams to explain the places that need to be reinforced.In addition, he also found signs about the distribution of dragon nests in Roger's electronic notebook.

Xue Xian found his electronic notebook, opened the map and made a comparison, which verified his previous guess. Each airship and scouts were in charge of different areas of Longyu, collecting information and reporting it to Habitat Continent.

Moreover, from Roger, Xuexian learned that it was about 30 years ago.

"My father is an amazing man." Roger said, "he lived here alone for four years, endured long periods of loneliness and danger, and never flinched. If I could go back to the habitat, I would imagine him too. Same, be a brave soldier."

Roger adored his father.

In fact, Xue Xian did too.

These investigators all knew that coming to Longyu was a one-way mission, and they would never return, but they still chose to go there without hesitation.They abandoned their original life, left family and friends, and sent themselves to the end of their lives, which is indeed very respectable.

Speaking of going back to the mainland, Luo Jie suddenly asked Xuexian a little embarrassedly: "Your Highness, I heard from them that the holy son is not allowed to fall in love in the temple, so you eloped here with Isar From Longyu."

Xue Xian: "..."

elopement?

Roger's blue eyes were full of curiosity: "Is it true?"

Xue Xian was shocked: "Who said that?"

Roger said: "It's Brother Mingdong who we went hunting together yesterday."

As soon as Roger finished betraying his partner, the young man named Ming Dong came to his room. Hearing this, his expression changed drastically, and he rushed over and covered Roger's mouth: "Yes, I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness. We shouldn't be here Talk about your private affairs behind your back."

Xuexian's face was hot, and he explained: "We really didn't elope."

He understood now why Doris smiled that way.

Mingdong nervously said: "Then, did the temple expel you at that time?"

Xue Xian said: "No!"

Ming Dong swore: "Don't worry! You and Isar are safe with us. Even if someone asks you in the future, we will never say anything!"

It seemed that Ming Dong and Luo Jie didn't believe it at all, but Xue Xian couldn't explain further, so he had to give up: "..."

Mingdong stayed and chatted with them for a while, and said: "Fortunately, Isar helped, otherwise we would have to continue to worry today. Now there are fewer and fewer large prey in the valley, and the rest are getting smarter and smarter. It used to be so easy to catch, we often went to far away places to hunt, and it took seven or eight days to go, and there were old people and children left in the base, and we were always worried outside."

Xuexian asked: "There is a forest over there in the valley, have you ever been there?"

Mingdong said: "I have been there, but there are high mountains and complex forests, and we don't go too deep. In winter, Moulton originally said that he would take us to investigate whether it is suitable for relocation. At that time, many animals hibernate. Yes, it will be relatively safe, but if people get sick one after another in the base, it will be delayed, and we can only wait until this winter."

It seems that the situation at the base is more difficult than what Xue Xian saw.

He thought of the supply station again, and told Mingdong about the situation.

Mingdong was a little excited after hearing this, and immediately ran to Moulton.

"Supply station?" Moulton was also a little excited, "Where is it, is it far?"

Xuexian honestly said it was far away.

He opened the map and showed everyone the approximate location of the supply station. Everyone gradually calmed down. It was indeed a very far place. With so many people traveling, it would take at least a month to travel day and night.

However, after Xue Xian's introduction, they knew the situation of the supply station and the surrounding environment, and they all agreed that it was more suitable for survival than here. After all, they still have a child as young as Bella who needs to be cared for.

Someone said: "Will they welcome us?"

Xuexian said: "Grandma Arina and Ainuo both welcome people to go to the supply station, and they will also go to the coastline regularly to look for survivors."

This undoubtedly gave everyone confidence.

Moulton worried: "Can the supply station accommodate so many of us?"

Xuexian said: "It is indeed difficult for so many people to live in the original building. If we really want to go, we will definitely need to expand. But I think the most important thing is to get in touch with the supply station first and see what they think In a few days, after I see off the people in the cave, I plan to go there with Isar to see if such a merger is feasible."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, all shaken.

The Holy Son is willing to do so much for the people in the base. They are full of gratitude and feel extremely lucky.

Moulton frowned, and suddenly said: "Maybe you don't need to go there yourself, it's too far away, and it will take a long time."

Xuexian asked: "Do you have a better way?"

Moulton nodded: "Yes."

He revealed a secret: "Roger's father left a good flying boat, and you have a map here, so I can go there alone, which will greatly shorten the time."
