19. Dragon's Tail
An old carriage was slowly driving, passing through the uneven dirt road, and the wheels pressed over the gravel underneath. Occasionally, there would be a "squeak" and "squeak" sound. Lao Ma was a mare from a farmer's backyard home. He was docile and had been moving along the only road in Mart Village.
Gru was wearing a cloak and half took off his hat, revealing a slightly vicissitudes of face. He had a cool grass in his mouth and his ears were hidden under the hood of the cloak. At this moment, he was waving his right whip and gently swaying a "whip sound" in the air.
Lao Ma couldn't help but speed up.
There were lush forests along the way, and the carriage behind him were fat cubs and fire elves. Oreo was injured and had to work on his way. However, Gru was still very happy and couldn't help but hum the song of the goddess of earth in his mouth.
"Oh ~ Our merciful and great goddess of earth, Alfemis."
"She is the mother of all the earth races."
"Beautiful, rich, and harvest, may the power of faith always linger on you."
"We praise your generosity and strength, and at the same time, we will always keep you in our hearts~"
"Ah, the goddess of earth, Alfemis~"
………
Long Ming lay on the animal skin, listening to the songs singing by Gru outside the curtain, his tail slowly shook, and looked down at the book.
The book was given to him by Oreo, who said he was afraid that he would be bored. It was a book called "Ezeroke Encyclopedia". Long Ming read it very seriously and didn't blink.
Selia flew to the tail of the fat cub, and after a while, she flew to the book he was reading, and said coquettishly: "Good cub, let's talk to me, it's so boring."
Long Ming closed the book and looked at it, thinking for a while: "Then I will read it to you."
"But I want to hear the story." Selia turned around. The timid and shy fire elf who was by nature had been together for a long time and became lively. She flew to her good friend and whispered: "The story of Oreo is so nice. Maybe we can let Oreo tell another one."
Long Ming sat up and looked at the mermaid leaning against the carriage window. Oreo was also reading a book. The black cover and the gold-plated font felt like he was studying some advanced magic.
"I can tell stories too." Long Ming sat up and put the fire spirit in his claws, preventing Selia from disturbing him.
Celia's flames grew a circle and was very surprised: "Really? Good boy, then tell me quickly, I want to hear your story."
"Then I'll start telling, this is a story about a little mermaid." Long Ming was also the fairy tale that he just thought of.
Celia looked at its good friend in surprise and admiration.
Odordo's eyelashes moved, and he heard the sound of the cub telling stories.
"Once upon a time, there was a beautiful mermaid. She lived in the deep sea. There was a castle in the deep sea, and that was her home..."
Celia was so focused that she heard it, like a ball of flame burning.
The flame shrank in half after a while.
When my good friend finished speaking, the news was completely shut down.
It endured it, but still couldn't help crying.
Long Ming:……???
The fire elf sniffed, looking at its good friend with accusation, with tears in his eyes and cheeks bulging, sad and sad: "Can the mermaid princess not go back to the bottom of the sea in the end? She is so pitiful, woo-woo..."
Long Ming blinked his big golden eyes, looked at the fire elf with tears, and saw that it was crying even harder, and quickly comforted him: "Selia, this is just a story."
"I decided to talk to you later tonight. Good boy, you and Oreo are really bad. I'm so sad, woo." Selia flew into the corner, with her back facing Long Ming, and the flames around her were bigger and smaller.
Long Ming stood up with his claws on the ground, shook his tail, and wanted to walk to the elf and prepare for remedy. Should he tell it another fairy tale about Snow White?
Unexpectedly, Oreo put it on the low stool next to him halfway through.
"It's okay, Ceria will be fine." Oreo's voice smiled: "I like your little mermaid story very much."
Long Ming shook his tail, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Good baby, do you want to find your own tribe?" Odordo suddenly asked, looking at the chubby little dragon baby.
Long Ming didn't expect Oreo to ask this question and was stunned for a moment.
"Your race is very powerful. Do you want to find them?" Odordo asked again: "Your race is the dragon race that has disappeared from the continent of Azerik for hundreds of years. According to records, they all live in the Dragon Island in the abyss."
Long Ming shook his tail at a loss.
"I don't know, Oreo." Long Ming looked up at Oreo, a trace of confusion flashed through his big golden eyes. He broke his shell and lived with Gru. Later, he met a mermaid and a fire elves. He was lively every day and didn't feel lonely at all.
Odordo touched the cub's soft belly and felt that it was a bit too early to ask this question. He just thought of something.
"It's okay, I just ask. Maybe your tribe members have come out to find you." Odordo calmed down the atmosphere and carried the little guy to the floor: "Go and find Ceria."
Long Ming shook his tail and just took a few steps, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind. He ran to Odordo, and his chubby voice was full of excitement: "Oreo, do you think they are very powerful, right?"
Odordo was slightly stunned, nodded, and replied in a warm voice: "Yes, the dragon clan has always been very powerful."
Long Ming's eyes lit up and he looked at Oreo shinyly.
"Are you looking for your relatives?" Odordo paused, but still touched the scales of the dragon cub.
"Then can they heal your wound?" Long Ming grabbed Oreo's corner of his clothes with his claws and looked at him with hope.
Odordo looked at Him and looked at his fat little cub, and his silver eyes were filled with a warm smile: "Yes, the Eternal Spring in the Elf Royal Clan can eliminate my curse forever, and they heard that they owe the Dragon Clan a favor during the holy war."
"Or it is, all the races of Azerik owe favors to the dragon race. After all, during the holy war, the dragon race, as Azerik's last powerful weapon, fought with the Death Monarch of the Demon Realm to the last moment."
"They are great." Odordo looked at the fat cub's simple and clear eyes, but still did not say the last sentence. It was great and tragic. All the dragon clans of Azerick died almost a lot in that battle. After the holy war, the remaining dragon clans lived on Dragon Island and never appeared on the continent again.
The human dragon knight was also annihilated, and the legends remained true.
Long Ming was inexplicably excited and proud, and his tail shaking unconsciously. After a while, he said, "Why don't we go to the Elf Clan."
"The elves are on the south side of the continent, too far. I have to find medicine to "Sunset City" to curb my curse." Odordo pushed the little guy: "Okay, go play with Selia."
Long Ming kept this in mind.
Time passed slowly, and Gru took the villages and towns to rush to the "Sunset City". When he was an old goblin sacrificial apprentice, he roughly remembered the address of Sunset City, mainly close to the orc territory, which is also Gru's hometown.
Rhine is a lion clan, while Fox is a fox clan. There is a "Sunset City" between the two clans as a buffer zone. There are fish and dragons mixed together, mostly orcs and mixed-blood orcs. There are also human merchants who will go there to purchase and exchange. The Rhine clan produces monster fur, magic crystals, and beast blood berserkers. They have their own totem power and even catch high-level monster cubs. These human travelers or chambers of commerce will go to places close to the source to buy and trade.
Although the Fox clan has weak force, he has a lot of thoughts and is rich in beauty. I heard that the high priest of the fox clan and a certain archbishop in the Temple of Light had a relationship, so he formed a two-struggle battle with the Rhine tribe.
The rest of the surrounding areas are small orc tribes.
Although the "Sunset City" is prosperous, it is still very remote after leaving the two tribes of Rhine and Fox.
While traveling, Gru specifically instructed the fat cubs and fire elves not to come out. If they are seen by those who are interested, they will be troublesome. High-level monster cubs are coveted by everyone, and fire elves are even more precious and rare. The closer they get to the Sunset City, Gru's appearance will be revealed. Although he is a small goblin, he is also considered an orc.
After almost two months of long journey, Long Ming and his team finally arrived at the outskirts of Sunset City.
A famous forest tavern.
In the darkness, Long Ming heard the noisy and lively sounds outside, the sound of the clashing wine glasses, the orcs' bold loud voices, and the sound of the thick rhythm of music came from the platform.
Long Ming held the fire elf in his claws, and he was held by Oreo, whose cloak obscured his vision.
He moved his ears and always felt a strange feeling lingering in his heart, unable to explain it, but it was very tempting to him.
Long Ming lay on Oreo's body, couldn't help but want to take a look up secretly, but as soon as he tilted his head, Oreo was straightened up. At the same time, Oreo's gentle and helpless voice came over.
"Stop making trouble, be nice, you'll be able to come down soon, and..."
Long Ming blinked his eyes and hummed softly, what else?
"Also, don't shake your tail, it will be very strange to look outside, good boy."
Long Ming's body stiffened. Did he just flick his tail? Why didn't he know...
He looked down and clearly saw that his tail was still swaying gently, looking extremely comfortable.
It is really a troublesome thing to have a disobedient tail. Long Ming could only pull out one claw and grab his tail so that he would not move around.
