Chapter 1031 The Cursed Dragon and His Human Knight (8)
The Cursed Dragon and His Human Knight (XVIII)
The falling snow could only block the road, but it couldn't stop the mercenaries who were like moths to a flame.
Even though something had just happened in the town's tavern, it became lively again in just one night.
Sophia continued to move among the crowd despite her wound, but this time, she looked at everyone with a suspicious look.
Especially when his eyes occasionally swept across the big men standing at the door, his eyes seemed to be spewing out anger.
Song Ning had no intention of going out, but after the little dragon climbed onto the dining table and ate his steak in front of him, it was as if he had opened the door to a new world and couldn't stop.
"I warned you, little thing, this isn't the kind of food you should be eating right now."
Song Ning accurately pinched the dragon's tail with two fingers, and the feeling was slightly different from before.
The originally fine and dense scales have cracked and fallen off, and the scattered pieces look a bit uncomfortable.
Song Ning subconsciously picked up the whole dragon and scolded it, "I told you not to eat anything carelessly. Something happened to your scales."
Lance: ...
He swung his tail, and the part without scales wrapped around Song Ning's wrist and rubbed it.
Song Ning scolded, "It's no use acting like a spoiled child. You can't eat anymore. Wait, what is this?"
This time he finally noticed the difference. He gently pinched the scales on the tail with two fingers and pulled them lightly. A scale with a dark luster fell into the palm of his hand.
Song Ning suddenly realized: "Are you shedding your scales? Do you dragons even have this stage?"
Lance nodded to show that he was right.
Who knew that the next second Song Ning snorted, "Why is it like a snake?"
Lance: ...
The character of his little prince is also very interesting and very aggressive. It seems that there is no need to worry too much about the little prince being bullied.
He flapped his wings and flew, quickly showing a circle of scales on his body in front of Song Ning, then landed in the palm of Song Ning's hand, and gently tapped the scales on his body with the tip of his tail to signal.
Although he is still a young dragon, dragon scales themselves are a very high-end material with a wide range of uses, and the ones that have been shed can be given to the little prince.
Song Ning stared at him for a long time, then stretched out his hand speechlessly.
"Are all of you dragons so arrogant? You eat my food and live my house, and now you can't even shed your scales yourself, and you want me to pluck them off for you?"
While he was cursing, he was carefully pulling out the old scales bit by bit with his hands.
Lance opened his mouth to explain, then realized he had sharp teeth—and forgot he was a dragon.
The young dragon shed a lot of scales, and it took Song Ning nearly an hour to clean them one by one. His forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.
He carefully put the plucked scales into a small box, then stood up and took a long breath to loosen his stiff muscles.
"How did you dragons survive your infancy? If no one plucked your scales for you, would you have turned around and picked them off yourself?"
As he imagined it, he thought the picture was a bit stupid.
Song Ning sorted out the scales in the small box and placed it in front of the young dragon.
"Okay, next time if you can do it yourself, do it yourself. I'll return your scales to you."
He counted the gold coins on him and said, "You stay at home. I'm going to go out and replenish some supplies."
Actually, we are not really short of food, it’s just that a certain dragon seems to be able to eat meat, so we should buy some more just in case.
Just as he was about to leave, he felt a slight tug on his trouser leg.
Song Ning looked down and saw the young dragon landing on his shoulder with a small box in its mouth.
【A gift for you.】
Song Ning paused as he was about to take a step, and his eyes suddenly became extremely complicated when he looked at Youlong.
"...Do you know what this gift you gave represents?"
These are dragon scales.
Lance knew it, of course, but he thought clearly.
These scales are nothing to him since he is a dragon, but they can be of some help to the little prince if given to him.
Whether he sells it or uses it himself, it is a sure profit for the little prince.
Moreover, he didn't want to be so shameless as to just eat and drink for free and do nothing. Even though he was still a young dragon, he could still do something.
He naturally moved closer to Song Ning's wheat-colored neck and rubbed it with his head.
【Thank you.】
Song Ning stood there motionless for a long time, then sighed after a while, his tone sounding a little annoyed. He grabbed the young dragon with his fingers and flicked it on the forehead.
"You're already a spirit at such a young age? Are you sure I won't do anything to you, huh?"
Lance blinked his ice-blue pupils, hiding a hint of a smile.
Of course, if they really wanted to attack him, they wouldn't have picked him up in the snow.
His little prince always has a heart of truth, goodness and beauty.
Of course, even though he's a little naughty, he's still his favorite little prince.
"Tsk, then I'll keep it for you first. I heard that dragons like to hoard gold coins. When you grow up and have the ability, you can use the gold coins to exchange for it. Do you understand?"
Song Ning found a suitable arrangement for himself, and was very satisfied with the small box and carefully kept it away - these were the giant, young dragon scales that many people wanted but could not get.
Even if it is not as good as an adult dragon, it is still an extremely rare material.
Song Ning muttered to himself as he was working, "We can't let anyone else know about this, otherwise the world will really change."
Ever since Lance gave the scales away, Song Ning has obviously treated him much better.
Lance sighed that men really can't live off gigolos, and rubbed the neck of Song Ning who was about to go out to buy him new meat.
Song Ning warned: "If you hear any movement, turn into a human. If you see it's me, don't change back in a hurry. Got it?"
Lance rubbed again to indicate that he understood. Song Ning changed his clothes, took a bag of gold coins and hurried out.
Ever since Lance started eating meat, his appetite has been increasing. In just five days, he has eaten half a person's height of meat. The family's stock is really running out.
Moreover, Song Ning has been buying meat too many times recently, which has attracted some attention. This time, he plans to take the opportunity to issue several tasks to purchase low-level monsters - he often issues such tasks, and some mercenaries often bring whole monsters to sell.
If it were in the past, he would not be short of this little bit of monster meat, but the problem was that the heavy snow lasted for a long time, and Lance only ate fresh meat and not dried meat, so Song Ning had no choice but to go and post the task in person.
Lance watched Song Ning leave, then flew up to the bedroom on the second floor and lay down in the nest next to the fireplace, which was obviously three times larger than before.
The ice-blue vertical pupils slowly closed, and the scales that had been shed once looked more lustrous and harder than before.
His breathing slowed, and suddenly another vision appeared before his eyes.
It was his body, or his clone, that he used to hold Cassandra back.
