My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 249 My Dragon Escaped

"This sword of yours..."

"What, what's the problem?"

As the size of the rebel organization in the east grew, the security checks for entering the capital became more rigorous.

Such a complicated inspection process made Xia Li think of aircraft security checks on Earth.

However, cold weapons are not allowed on board the plane.

Not to mention, Xia Li was carrying this sharpened weapon on his back.

Under the puzzled gaze of the city gate guard, Xia Li grasped the hilt of the Demon-Repelling Sword and slowly pulled it out.

As soon as the guard took it, he collapsed due to the unexpected weight.

This sword... is unexpectedly heavy!

Fortunately, the young man's action of drawing the sword just now was so light that people mistakenly thought it was a light sword...but it turned out to be incredibly heavy.

The opponent's skills...I'm afraid he is a well-trained warrior.

The guard in light leather armor looked at Xia Li deeply.

He confirmed Xia Li's identity again and again and searched almost every part of Xia Li's body.

In the end, I really didn't find anything suspicious.

"Sir, we are coming from Tarot City. You have seen my carriages, which are carrying local specialties. Tarot City is very safe now..."

The old coachman who was traveling with Xia Li took a step forward and stuffed the two silver coins in his hand into the guard's hand.

The guard wanted to find fault, but the heavy silver coin made his mouth bend.

He raised his lips and secretly put the silver coin into his trouser pocket.

"No problem, go in first, stay in the house for two seconds, and if there is no alarm, you can enter the city directly."

The guard put down his spear and winked at Xia Li.

Only then did Xia Li pack up his things and go in with the coachman.

The conveniences that money can buy on Earth can also be bought in this world.

Without the identity and status of a hero, Xia Li is undoubtedly just an ordinary person in this world.

It's so ordinary that only money is left.

After passing through the city gate and walking through the dark corridor, the view suddenly became clear.

The dazzling sunlight made Xia Li feel a little uncomfortable for a moment.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw a constant stream of pedestrians in front of me, and the street leading to the city gate was connected in all directions. At the end of the street was a magnificent castle that was glittering with brilliance.

The level of prosperity here is no less than that of the central area of ​​Qingcheng City.

It just lacks the skyscrapers of modern cities and the sense of technology, giving people the feeling more like a "bustling rural town".

Xia Li lowered his head, looked at the evenly laid green stone bricks under his feet, and subconsciously turned his head to the side.

"dew……"

His left hand grabbed nothing and failed to grasp the white and tender little hand. The expression on Xia Li's face dulled for a moment.

Habit……

Habit is indeed a terrible thing.

Xia Li had long been accustomed to having a dragon by his side. Now that the dragon was suddenly left outside, Xia Li felt as if his heart was also left outside.

Taking back his empty left hand, Xia Li also gave up the idea of ​​sightseeing the new city.

A person's scenery is really not interesting.

We have to hurry up and get things done.

"Guest, that... hehe."

The old driver rubbed the big ring on his hand and looked at Xia Li with a frivolous smile.

That look was self-explanatory, and Xia Liming understood what he meant.

Xia Li took out two silver coins from his pocket and handed them to the old driver, then instructed.

"Take me to the largest exchange here. I want to buy a large amount of magic storage crystals and scrolls that contain two-way teleportation magic."

……

"Sister, do you want to eat dried sweet potatoes?"

Under the shade of the trees outside the city gate.

The little girl took out a piece of dried sweet potato from Zhang Xixi's pocket. After handing it over, she timidly hid her hand behind her back.

As if she remembered that nobles didn't eat this kind of food, she smiled sheepishly and prepared to put the food away.

Lucia was quick to grab the slightly cold little hands.

"Hey, don't hide, I want to eat!"

For a dragon that accepts everyone.

Not to mention the food handed over by a human cub, even if it was a human cub handed over by a human cub, Lucia could swallow it.

The latter is, of course, false.

Lucia stuffed the dry sweet potato into her mouth and chewed it. When the ambergris was fully mixed with the food, she tasted a hint of sweetness.

"Delicious!" she praised without reservation.

The little girl smiled.

She was very happy that her snacks were accepted by the noble elder sister, and she even felt more confident when talking with the elder sister.

The elder sister's behavior is different from those arrogant nobles...

She is so kind and friendly, she must be a good person!
"Which noble family are you from, big sister?"

The little girl sat down on the grass, carefully took out her few snacks from her pocket, and gave them all to her older sister.

"I am... a noble from Xia Li's family!"

Lucia paused and answered vaguely while biting a piece of dried sweet potato.

The little girl blinked. Although she didn't understand the place name she said, she admired it from the bottom of her heart.

"That big sister's last name must be very powerful!"

"not bad……"

Lucia scratched her head embarrassedly.

Her surname is too unpopular, so unpopular that it is inherited from a single family.

I guess even if I tell it, this human cub wouldn't know either.

"What level of magic do you know, big sister? Mom said that the reason why nobles are 'noble' is because they know very powerful magic..." The little girl opened her clean and pure brown eyes and spoke with envy.

"Mom also said that as long as I master magic above level three, I can become an adventurer... Then, I won't be a lowly servant in the carriage team, but can have a wonderful life."

"Hehe... It's a pity that I don't know magic. My affinity with the magic in the air is too low."

The little girl started laughing as she spoke, her fluffy short hair covering her timid face.

Although he was clearly saying it was a pity, his tone was quite calm, as if he had already accepted his fate.

"I know very high-level magic!"

Lucia had eaten enough dried sweet potatoes, so she took out some modern snacks from her pocket.

These two jellies are her last snack.

After much hesitation, he gave one to the little girl.

"How advanced is it?"

The little girl's eyes were full of admiration.

"Very high-level... the kind that can beat a flat-backed spurred bear with one punch!"

Lucia gave a random example of a little girl eating jelly with such excitement on her face that she couldn't speak.

“…How amazing.”

"Right?"

Lucia smiled, glanced at the surrounding vehicles, and asked the little girl next to her.

"By the way, where's your dad? It seems like I only saw you and mom along the way."

"My father is a mercenary, and mercenaries have a very short lifespan. He died a long time ago..." said the little girl with a smile.

Lucia swallowed the smile on her face.

Unlike the human cubs on Earth, the human cubs in this world are very calm when facing the death of their loved ones.

After all, the life span of humans in this world is very short and not very valuable.

Accidents, illness, war... these things can easily take a person's life.

Death is all too common here.

"It's okay, I still have my mom!"

Noticing the sad expression on Lucia's face, the little girl smiled, reached out and grabbed Lucia's hand, and whispered to her to comfort her.

Lucia was silent for a long time, then shook her head. "The life span of a mercenary is very short..."

These words lingered in her mind for a long time and could not be shaken off.

"By the way, let's play hide and seek!"

Lucia suddenly suggested.

The dragon's powerful adaptability allows her to quickly recover from certain negative emotions.

Only this time…she didn’t recover, but learned how to hide as a human.

"But, the noble brother said..."

The little girl hesitated.

Lucia pulled her to her feet.

"Don't worry, I won't run around, we'll just play around here!"

"OK then……"

Children aged seven or eight are the most playful.

In addition, the older sister herself was a very powerful magician, so the little girl no longer had any concerns.

"I'll hide while you lie down in front of this tree and count down to twenty!"

Lucia pulled her to the tree and pointed to the old tree that was almost as thick as a person's waist.

"But...I can't count so many numbers."

"Oops~"

Lucia was helpless and sighed.

"Then just wait quietly for a while. Wait for me to give you a signal, then open your eyes!"

"But how can you give me a signal..."

"You'll know in a moment. Don't forget, I'm a magician!"

Lucia put her hands on her hips and spoke gently to the little girl in the same tone that Xia Li had used to coax her.

The little girl nodded. She had played hide-and-seek before.

Putting her hands in front of her forehead, the little girl lay on the tree trunk and began to count down with her eyes closed.

"Five, four, three, two..."

Unfortunately, she had never studied math and kept repeating the same few numbers over and over again.

Lucia no longer hesitated. She turned around and took a quick look around.

The servants stranded outside the city were not all idle, each had their own things to deal with.

Carrying goods, organizing carriages, cleaning...

Not many people paid attention to her.

Putting on the white cloak, Lucia's almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly.

She turned and sprinted deeper into the woods.

When the running-up speed is almost reached, bend your knees slightly and jump on the spot.

"Susu-"

A strong wind suddenly swept through the entire forest.

People who were busy with dirty and tiring work raised their heads and looked towards the eastern sky.

The sky was clear, clean and empty.

But the invisible sense of pressure is chilling.

It was as if some gigantic creature soared into the sky and flew over their heads...

"Sister, are you hiding?"

The little girl finally realized what the older sister meant by 'giving you a signal'.

It means using magic to create a strong wind!

She opened her eyes and looked around blankly.

The elder sister is indeed a magician...

It disappeared without a trace in an instant!

It must be some high-level magic!
This might be the closest she's ever been to high-level magic!

The little girl rolled up her sleeves, revealing her cold little arms, and was full of enthusiasm for the game.

at the same time.

Above the blue sky.

The sound of the wind tearing through the sky was whistling in my ears.

With every flap of the dragon's wings, waves of wind and wind came one after another.

The silver dragon used a visual obstruction magic to conceal its own figure, and its huge body galloped in the wind.

After becoming invisible, Lucia became completely transparent, and it was difficult to track her movements with the naked eye.

Only the pressure from the dragon clan scared away a large number of flying birds.

The birds chirped and spread their wings and flew away one after another.

The giant dragon narrowed its golden-red eyes and relied on the memory in its mind to determine the direction.

destination--

The land of dragons.

It is not only the recognized hunting ground of the dragon clan, but also the home in the hearts of every dragon.

This is true for mixed-scale dragons and pure-blooded dragons as well.

Although this race uses the sky as a blanket and the earth as a bed, they always keep in mind the birthplace of their race.

Lucia had things to deal with that she had to deal with.

She had to come back before Xia Li left the city.

……

"Rumble--"

Suddenly, a strong wind as strong as thunder blew up from the clear sky.

In front of a stall selling high-quality crystals, Xia Li suddenly stopped as if he sensed something.

"What's the matter, my distinguished guest?"

The old driver hunched over, lowered his head humbly, and asked about the customer's condition in a humble voice.

Xia Li looked at the clear sky in the east.

I always feel a little impatient in my heart.

In the sky, the golden sunlight is gradually disappearing behind the clouds.

Thick lead-gray clouds rolled in from the horizon.

The sunny day is about to pass.

It looks like it's going to rain.

"nothing."

Coming back to his senses, Xia Li weighed the crystal in his hand.

Suddenly I felt a little regretful that I had taken the easy way out and not tried my best to bring Lucia in to see the whole thing.

He knows nothing about magic and is a clumsy swordsman.

Things like choosing crystals should really be done by Lucia, a dragon with multiple elemental magic powers...

Otherwise, he would not even know that he was cheated by unscrupulous businessmen.

“Are there any specialty stores around here?”

Xia Li put the crystal down and turned back to ask the old coachman beside him.

The old driver had a humble smile on his face, and whispered in Xia Li's ear with an expression that said 'all men understand'.

"Of course there are some characteristics..."

"Would you like a slightly mixed-race sub-human, or a mature human female? Oh, by the way, I heard that the love shop on West Street has rare elves. Is that special enough?"

Xia Li: “…”

Xia Li felt that he must have been misunderstood by this unscrupulous businessman, and the expression on his face quickly cooled.

"I mean the specialties of the food. I promised that beautiful lady...my wife, that I would bring her some interesting food."

"Oh, that's how it is!"

Having misunderstood the other party's meaning, the old driver quickly suppressed the smile on his face and said apologetically.

"Of course, the food here is rich. I recommend two dessert shops to you...Also, the most famous thing about the Lyon Empire is its flowers. There is plenty of sunshine and water resources here, and the flowers are all blooming beautifully. I will take you to buy some, and your wife will definitely like them!"
