I'm a dragon, I only want to steal princesses

Chapter 51 Reserved Guests

"Greetings to you, my lord!"

Cohen, who led the horses back, saw Ganon fall down, and immediately dismounted to salute.

Ganon frowned as soon as he saw Cohen: "What's the matter with the wound on your face?"

Cohen's face was obviously swollen, and there were a few obvious scratch marks.

"Ahaha..." There was an awkward smile on Cohen's face, and he glanced towards the fence, "It's just a little family problem..."

Ganon looked along, and there was a female elf helping to build the fence. She was squinting her eyes and looking in Ke En's direction.

That was Cohn's wife who had been liberated from Ermera's lair, and Ermera had been using her to blackmail Cohn into working for her.

Gannon was not interested in the conflict between their husband and wife, and turned his attention to the herd of horses returning from grazing: "Why does it seem that there is an extra horse?"

"I met a group of wild horses on the grassland, and I used 'beast language' to abduct one. There seem to be wild goats nearby. If the lord needs it, I can help you domesticate a few after the pasture is built." Cohen replied.

"You are very suitable for this job." Ganon nodded.

As a druid, Kern can use the "beast whisperer" ability to communicate with animals, and can also use the "beast trainer" to temporarily control animals. It is perfect for him to take care of the animals on the ranch.

"Lord, are you really planning to let us go back after all the work is done?" Cohen asked cautiously.

"If I don't want to let you go, you can't go either. There's no need to lie to you." Gannon replied flatly.

He has now become a hostile relationship with the empire in the south, and it is definitely not a good idea to form a relationship with the evening summer elves in the east.

Cohen sent the horses back to the stables thoughtfully, and looked at Gannon who continued to inspect the ranch from afar for a while.

During the past few days of getting along, he could feel that the red dragon was indeed not evil as the human female knight said, on the contrary, it was quite humane.

He asked the rescued elves to pay for his work, which was a very reasonable request, and he was not bad at people, providing shelter and meals, and the work was not too heavy, most of the work was undertaken by the golem.

Just because he had been in contact with a genuine evil dragon like Elmera, he could better see the essential difference between the other party and those evil dragons.

After thinking for a long time, he walked near Gannon and summoned up the courage to speak up: "Then, my lord, are you willing to hire me for a long time in the future?"

"What do you mean?" Ganon turned around.

"I hope the lord will allow me to stay here for a long time in the future, and I am willing to take care of this ranch for you." Cohen said seriously.

It is naturally desirable to have such a druid looking after the ranch Gannon, but he has a question at the same time:
"What? You don't want to go back to your hometown?"

"Actually, we used to do a lot of evil things under the coercion of Elmera. We once kidnapped some compatriots for her. In late summer, we actually became wanted criminals." Cohen explained.

"What?" Ganon frowned immediately.

These people are already wanted criminals. Wouldn't Mu Xia's forest guards be here sooner or later to hunt them down?
Although it is unlikely to go to war with a red dragon for a few wanted criminals, they may see the red dragon as the criminal's protector.

If Cohen wanted him to take this risk to protect himself, then he would definitely not agree.

Cohen saw the other party's concerns, and quickly waved his hands to explain:
"Please rest assured that the wanted arrest will be revoked soon. As long as we are found to be persecuted by the green dragon, the legal charges should be cancelled, and we will be pardoned with a high probability. At most, it is only a misdemeanor that can be solved by hard labor. It will not cause you trouble, I swear."

"Then why don't you want to go back?" Ganon asked, bound by a contract, what Coen told him should be the truth.

Cohen sighed: "Even if the crime can be pardoned, it is inevitable that we will be judged. Muxia's law may let us go, but the stain of being an accomplice to the Green Dragon will accompany us for the rest of our lives. I dare not face those compatriots and their families who were killed by us. My two teammates, Laikat, plan to go back, and Luliye plans to leave Muxia just like me.

We're not used to settlements of other races, but the wilderness is too dangerous.If you allow, I ask you to take me in, Luliye, and our respective families, please allow us to build a tree house in the area by the river, cultivate a field, and we are willing to manage the pasture for you all the time! "

"Where's your wife? That's the reason for the injury on your face, right?" Ganon asked casually.

"I don't want her to suffer with me, so I let her go back and treat me as dead. She is just a simple victim. She should be able to live a happier life when she returns to her hometown and remarries someone else. She refuses, and I persuade her too much..."

Cohen touched his swollen face and smiled.

"Treasure her well." Ganon also smiled, and then became serious, "But I have to say first, my place is not safe. A few days ago, the imperialists called here."

"Where in the world can it be regarded as real peace? We were kidnapped by the green dragon once in our hometown." Ke En said with a wry smile.

Gannon thought about it carefully, and nodded: "Well, if you really won't cause me extra trouble, I will allow you to stay, and we can renew the employment contract when the construction period is over."

Leaving a piece of land for the two families of elves to live and reclaim is not a big resource for him.

He is missing the people in the ranch, and the stones are used as golems. The animals in the ranch are very unaccustomed to him, and Ganon himself can't manage the ranch. If he accidentally leaks a little dragon's power, it may cause the ranch animals to riot.

With Kern and the female elf druid managing the ranch for him, it will undoubtedly greatly improve the output efficiency of the ranch.

"Thank you!" Cohen saluted Gannon.

Ganon nodded and turned to inspect other places.

After a while, he felt that [Watcher] had found something.

He tightened his brows, opened the [Watcher] in his consciousness, and found that the unusual reaction came from a sparrowhawk flying into his territory from the outside world.

The Sparrowhawk itself did not pose any threat, but [Watcher] recognized traces of casting spells from it.

He had actually seen this kind of animal recently—animals controlled by Cohen and the others with the "beast trainer" had such a reaction.

Ganon tried to expand the picture of the sparrowhawk and observed carefully, and found that there were paper strips tied to the sparrowhawk's feet.

Is it to send a letter?
Ganon stood on the spot and looked up to wait. After a while, the sparrowhawk appeared in the sky near the tower and uttered a cry.

Ke En followed the sound and raised his head, his eyes widened: "Xunying? That's the messenger eagle of the forest guards!!"

Ganon watched as the sparrowhawk circled and honked, apparently trying to get the owner's attention.

And he is the owner here, and the other party sent him a letter.

"Can you call it down?" Ganon called to Cohn, who didn't want to bother flying up to grab it himself.

Cohen nodded, picked a blade of grass, rolled it up, and blew a long, sharp whistle.

The sparrowhawk came down quickly, and Cohen stretched out his hand to let it rest on his wristband, reached out and took off the note, walked over respectfully and handed it to Gannon.

There was only a very short line of information on the note, which was written by elves. Although the other party was not sure what kind of characters a red dragon could understand, he seemed to know that there were some elves around him.

Ganon hadn't learned Elvish, but at this moment he sensed that the [Watcher] was activated automatically, and then the information interpreted by these words flowed into his consciousness:

"Thank you very much for killing the evil green dragon for us. I hope to have the opportunity to have an interview at the corner of the Changhe outside the Breeze Forest tomorrow at sunrise. I look forward to your reply."

The signature is Jamil Muqiu.

Ganon thought for a while, then handed the note to Ke En, who glanced at it in bewilderment, and said in surprise:
"Jamil of Muqiu, he is the garrison officer of the Muqiu City Walled City in the western district. I served under him before. It was because Elmera ate his mother that the forest guards targeted him!"

He thought for a while, looked at Ganon's face and asked, "My lord, what are you going to do?"

Ganon thought for a while, the place at the corner of the long river outside the Breeze Forest was not a suitable place for ambush. Instead, when the two sides were talking across the river, the other side could retreat to the forest at any time, and he could fly back to the vicinity of the tower at any time.

This is a safe place for both parties, and it can be seen that the other party really wants to try to talk.

"If he wants to talk, just talk to him. I don't mind entertaining guests who know the appointment." Gannon replied flatly.
