Chapter Twelve: The Frozen Little Warrior and the Dream of Slaying the Dragon Part Four
The giant dragon Gein unfolded his curled up body, and his huge body slowly approached the fallen boy.
"Hey, this brat is really ignorant. It is said that there is no distinction between education and discrimination. You are a human and I am a dragon. It's good that I don't dislike you. I want to accept you as my disciple, but you still dare to dislike me?"
Gein grabbed the boy's clothes behind him with his two fingers, picked him up like a chicken, and shook him back and forth in front of him.
Seeing the uncomfortable expression on the young man's face, Gein suddenly had a vulgar idea.
Use a high fire to heat him up, and then ask him if he agrees. If he doesn't agree, throw him out and freeze him to death. When he comes back, he will be roasted to wake him up. If he doesn't agree, he will be thrown out and roasted to wake him up again.
Until he agrees.
Hahaha, as expected of me.
Just do what you think of and slowly move the boy over the bonfire, letting the flames slowly burn his feet.
A smell of paste came out.
Big beads of sweat appeared on the young man's face, and his face became very ugly.
"No, it would be bad if he wakes up and worships me as his master, but is always worried about today's incident, causing disharmony between master and disciple."
Thinking of this, Gein put the boy who had been roasted into red skin back on the ground.
He fell into deep thought again.
How can I make this brat willing to be my apprentice?
This completely stumped Gein.
Looking at the bonfire in front of me and the sizzling wild boar meat on it.
Right!
Doesn’t this kid hate me for looking like a monster? As long as I’m not a monster, won’t it be fine?
Well, if you turn yourself into a human being.
I have never tried it before. Can the filth in my body reach this level?
It's easy to ooze mud from your hands and start changing at will, but is it really possible to turn into a human?
This was the first time that Gein had doubts about himself.
"Hey, it's useless to think about something. How will you know if you don't do it?"
Give it a try first.
"Who should I become?"
Gein began to think about which human being he should become.
That earth dragon?
Thinking about that guy's current appearance, although he is not as annoying as before, he should still be very popular among the human community.
But he is the god of Liyue.
There should be many people who know him. No, no, it will be bad if the secret is exposed by then.
Gave up one.
Keep thinking.
The princess I saw in my dream?
She's very beautiful and will definitely be liked by this kid.
However, a person who is so gorgeously dressed, has no muscles on his body, and looks weak and weak does not look like he is coming to the snow-capped mountains at all.
No, no, no.
Then there's only one left.
That warrior, well, with thick leather, solid muscles, and sophisticated armor, he looks like a battle-hardened adventurer at first glance.
It will definitely be easy to travel to a snowy mountain.
It’s him!
The dragon closed his eyes and began to think about the specific details of the man's decoration in his mind.
A pool of mud emerged in front of him and began to slowly piece together the appearance of the man.
Well, the shoulder armor is hemmed, there are straps on the trouser legs, the soles of the boots are surrounded by fine iron, and there is a bandage on the arms.
Done!
Gein opened his eyes and began to admire his "masterpiece".
Well....
First of all, his appearance is indeed very similar to what he remembered in his memory, and the texture of his clothes and the details of his shoulder armor have all been expressed.
It is indeed perfect.
As for why uh...?
That's the most important thing.
He has no color!!
A lump of black, no matter how finely you pinch it, what’s the use!!
Sure enough, it's a bit too demanding to ask Silt to be able to be a perfect person.
Gein shook his head.
Well, color, where can I get the color?
Right!
Gein's huge head suddenly had an idea again.
The color of the clothes cannot be solved at the moment, but as for the skin, isn’t it everywhere on the snow-capped mountains?
Those wild boars, after killing them, take off the skin and remove the hair, um, not bad.
Then the remaining hair can be used to make hair, and the meat can be roasted and eaten.
I'm such a genius.
Just do it.
The giant dragon came to the cave, broke open the boulder, and came outside.
Close the door behind you.
I can't let my little apprentice get cold. I am really a pure and good dragon.
Flap your wings and take off.
Quickly reaching the heights, the dragon's eyes wandered around, looking for targets in the wind and snow.
A little light in the distance caught his attention.
Um?
Why is there fire there?
Take a closer look.
Hmm? There are two people? One is purple and the other is blue.
Moreover, the purple figure seems to be quite suitable.
Haha, God help me, the clothes problem has been solved.
Gein turned his head and dived quickly towards the position of the two people.
And just when the dragon was flying towards the target quickly.
In the gap between the boulders on the side of the snow-capped mountain, Albedo held a telescope and looked at the giant black dragon in the sky that almost blended into the night.
"Found you."
.
in the cave
The boy who fainted was not feeling well at this time.
His extreme weakness filled his dreams with memories of the past.
He remembered that his father was the head of an extremely prosperous family in Mondstadt. As his son, he should have been prosperous.
Unfortunately, as fate would have it, he was an unpopular illegitimate son. His mother was from Liyue and fell in love with his father when she came to Mondstadt to do business.
After giving birth to him, at first, the mother did not know that the man had a family. She said that he was just the son of a wealthy businessman.
As a result, this lie was exposed after she followed her husband back to Mondstadt.
.
My father really loved my mother, so much that on the day he went back, he even knelt down and begged her not to leave, but my mother couldn't accept that I was looked down upon in their family as an illegitimate child.
I was 7 years old at the time, and my mother had been deceived for 9 years. I will never forget the look in the eyes of the servants in their family at that time, nor the force with which my father grabbed my right hand.
Of course, I stayed in the end, but my mother left, and she couldn't accept the time when she would stay here and be looked down upon by others, so she built a small house on the edge of Mondstadt.
As for me, my mother was really just the daughter of a wealthy businessman. My father said that if I stayed here, I would get the best care, the best conditions, and the best teachings. Everything would definitely be the best in Mondstadt.
People dare to be unkind to me.
So I stayed, and my father fulfilled his promise. My food, clothing, housing and transportation were of the best quality. My swordsmanship instructor and elemental instructor were also famous adventurers in the entire continent.
My father sometimes leaves home for long periods of time, and I know he goes to find his mother.
They really love each other.
Sometimes I wonder if my parents would be better off without me. At least without me, they would not return to Mondstadt.
But my mother would come to see me every weekend, take me to play, and take me to fight slime.
I actually don't hate this kind of life.
I even hope it can continue like this.
But fate played tricks on me again!!
Suddenly one day, my father became seriously ill and could not afford it. My brothers and sisters were all discussing the fight for the family property, and the servants did not take me as seriously as before.
That day, I came to my father's room and held his hand that was withered due to serious illness. I could see the tears in his eyes.
There is no one serving him beside him, only me.
He held my hand.
I was surprised at that time.
He held my hand with the same force as when he fought for me.
At that time, he said to me.
"Huron, my dearest child, although I will not die soon, but I will always be by your side and your mother's side. We, the men of the Imonloca family, will not shed tears. My father broke his vow today."
"Hahaha."
I don’t understand why you can still laugh even though you are as sick as a skeleton.
My father wiped away my tears with his hands.
"Huron, please don't cry. Our Imon Loka family is a family of warriors. Our roots are in the snowy mountains. We are blessed by the black flames in the prophecy, so no tears are allowed. Do you understand?"
"My child, you are the most outstanding child of this generation. Your talent is enough to make the whole of Mondstadt proud. My father is useless. He chose to travel around and abandon his practice. Therefore, I hope that the fate of the family will be left to you.
to complete.”
As he said that, his father took out a medal from under his body.
Delivered into my hands.
"Take this, go to Mondstadt Church and give it to the old nun there. She has the last thing I left for you and your mother."
After handing the things to me, my father closed his eyes peacefully and fell into a deep sleep.
After that, I left the family and went to the church. The old nun there gave me a short sword and a very long and heavy rectangular wooden box.
He also told me not to open it until I reached the city gate.
I listened to her words, hugged the box, ignored the hustle and bustle of Mondstadt tonight, and came to the city gate.
There, my mother stood at the gate of the city, dressed in white and wearing elegant makeup, standing there quietly.
I want to tell her about her father.
She gently covered my mouth.
She knew everything, but she didn't cry.
After that, we left Mondstadt and returned to the hut where my mother lived. Although we were not as wealthy as before, we were still relaxed and comfortable.
Moreover, we live near the junction of Mondstadt and Liyue, so I can also take over some affairs at my mother's house, which is relatively easy.
Things should have continued like this, but...
Damn fate, it’s playing tricks on me again!!
That day, when my mother took over a batch of ore from the snow-capped mountains, she accidentally touched the black stain on it, and ended up going west that night.
I was still carrying out a commission near Mondstadt at the time, and I found out the next day that I hadn’t even seen my mother for the last time.
The black stain was judged by Mondstadt adventurers to be the poison of the dragon on the snowy mountain.
The first moment I came to the conclusion, I came to the snow-capped mountains with two swords.
Hahaha.
My life is a mess, everything about me has been destroyed by fate!
Chapter completed!
