My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 282: Turning Enemy into Wife
Azer continent, north.

Snowflakes fell like flying ashes, and the lead-gray sky looked a little depressing.

The mountains in the distance stretch endlessly, and covered in snow, the boundaries between the mountains are very blurred.

It was as if he was in some kind of ink painting. Seeing this scene, Xia Li was stunned for a moment, then took out his mobile phone and took two photos.

At this time, the air-conditioning blanket prepared by Lucia came in handy.

Xia Li quickly took out the thickest clothes in his bag and wrapped Lucia in them, and then put on two coats for himself.

“It’s so cold!”

Lucia shivered in the cold wind.

In the past, she had the highest resistance to cold, and she wouldn’t feel the cold even if she soaked herself in icy sea water.

Now, a little cold wind can blow out her snot bubbles...

This physique has indeed become weaker.

But this is also very good. Being infinitely close to the human body can allow her to better integrate into the environment and better understand human emotions.

I secretly rubbed a ball of fire in my hand to keep it warm.

As soon as she warmed her hands, she pulled Xia Li over and they walked forward, one step deep and one step shallow.

The place where they are now... should be a small town in a snowy country.

The town is not big, and you can see the end of the main street at a glance.

Due to the bad weather and heavy snow, there were few passers-by in the town, the view was white and visibility was very low.

The appearance of Xia Li and the other person did not attract anyone's attention.

As they continued moving forward, Xia Li reached out and pushed open a wooden door.

The wooden door is printed with patterns of iron felt and hammer.

This is a blacksmith shop.

It is also the only shop with lights on in the town.

"Dingling~"

A clear bell rang, and the cold wind blew into the warm house along with the bell.

The man who was napping in front of the window shuddered with fright, quickly put on his monocular glasses and sat up.

In this kind of weather, there are not many people walking around the streets.

Not to mention, the man and woman in front of him were dressed like outsiders.

The visitor is not good.

In this world, people who didn't have a sense of vigilance would have died early. Even in a remote town, people here still remain vigilant at all times.

The iron shop owner picked up the big hammer beside him, with a fierce and alert expression on his face.

As if she sensed the danger, Lucia's eyes flashed and she was about to take action to fight back.

"Boom!"

The sledgehammer swung down.

Xia Li grabbed Lucia's small hand with one hand, and raised the Demon-Exorcising Sword with the other hand, easily removing the power of the hammer.

Enchanted weapons.

The most popular item in the continent of Azer.

In the past, only the royal family could afford it, but in the 'future' continent of Aize, this weapon has become quite popular.

"take it easy."

Xia Li raised the Demon-Repelling Sword and pressed down the hammer in the opponent's hand.

The iron shop owner was surprised to find that the strength of his own hands was no match for that of the other party's one hand.

In fact, the opponent didn't even feel like he was exerting any strength at all, and even the movement of raising the sword seemed light and fluttery.

The iron shop owner was sure that if the other party had used an unsheathed sword instead of a sheathed sword, his head would have been chopped off.

"……What's up?"

The iron shop owner swallowed hard and was sweating profusely from nervousness.

"I'm a businessman passing by. I'm out of money, so I came to do some business with you."

As he spoke, Xia Li glanced around the shop which was less than 50 square meters.

What Xia Li can now be sure of is that the destination of his teleportation magic is random.

In other words, apart from setting the destination as 'Aize Continent', he had no way of setting up a more detailed stopover.

It's not that it can't be done, it's that there is no such method at all.

Using summoning magic to summon yourself to another world and achieve teleportation in this way is itself a bug-breaking behavior, and there is no room for manipulation of this behavior.

"…How much do you want?"

The iron shop owner still looked alert.

In his opinion, Xia Li's words were equivalent to a threat.

It's no less than encountering a robber on the street, who says he has no money and asks you to lend him some.

"Just collect enough money for the trip."

Xia Li took a look at the iron shop owner and judged that he couldn't have much money.

There aren't many gold coins that can be blackmailed from him... No, there aren't many gold coins that can be traded.

If Xia Li wants to sell a lot of modern classic fashion junk, he has to go to a larger human city.

Right now, all I need is some money for the trip and a map.

It would be best if I could find out more about the situation in this world.

"This is a local specialty I brought from my hometown. I thought you could use it."

Xia Li took out a lighter from his pocket.

As for the blacksmith shop, fire is needed on a daily basis. Flint doesn't work well in this kind of weather, and using magic is too cost-effective.

Why not try his air lighter?

Pinxixi sells five for ten yuan, and shipping is free.

The merchant said that one lighter can light 1400 times.

"Romance for men."

With a click, Xia Li lit the lighter.

In the dim hut, a small flame sprang out from Xia Li's hand.

The small flame swayed gently, and the shadows of the three people in the room swayed with it.

"This thing is not magic, so it can be used even in some situations where magic is forbidden. Maybe you think it's a waste to use it to start a fire... You can try to sell it to some warriors in the arena or students in the magic academy. They should be very interested in this kind of thing."

Xia Li began to promote his products aggressively.

The iron shop owner stared at the flame, a flash of surprise in his eyes, and then it was replaced by vigilance.

"how much is it?"

"Don't rush yet."

Xia Li raised another finger and said.

"Boss, do you have any family, mother, wife, daughter, or anything like that?"

"……what you up to?"

When the iron shop owner mentioned his family, sweat dripped from his forehead and temples.

Especially when the other party mentioned "daughter", the iron shop owner subconsciously looked at the man in front of him.

The young man was handsome and gentle... He didn't look like the type who was short of women, nor did he look like a human trafficker.

Instead, he is more like a gigolo who is suitable to be kept by aristocratic ladies in big cities.

"Relax, relax,"

Xia Li smiled and took out two small bottles from his arms.

"Here is the ointment, and here is the perfume."

"I guess... there aren't many merchants passing by here. How about taking this opportunity to please your wife and daughter? Women all like this kind of thing."

Xia Li said as he opened the cork on the glass jar.

Suddenly, the room was filled with fragrance.

Pinxixi sells them for 9.90 yuan each, and if you buy 100, you’ll get 10 extra ones for free.

One drop can keep the fragrance going for ten days or half a month.

The package is marinated and tasty.

However, the amount of this stuff is very small, and apart from the strong industrial scent, it does not cause any particular harm to the human body.

"…How much do you want?"

The iron shop owner did smell a strong fragrance.

The scent of this perfume is no less than the scent of those noble ladies.

When the iron shop owner took his daughter to travel in a big city, he heard his daughter mention that she wanted this kind of fragrant thing.

It seems like a good idea to buy some.

but……

The iron shop owner was in no mood to do business at this moment.

He could only pray secretly that this strange man would finish the robbery as soon as possible and leave his shop as soon as possible.

"I brought a lot from my hometown this time, so the price is very cheap... I'll sell you three sets, a total of 100 gold coins, how about that?"

"...One hundred? Gold coins?!"

Even though he was mentally prepared, the iron shop owner was still a little surprised.

One hundred gold coins were enough for him to buy several weapons.

Only when he is lucky and meets an adventurer with a lot of money can he earn so many gold coins in one go.

But the merchant (robber) in front of him actually asked for one hundred coins.

"One hundred coins is already very cheap. I once sold similar items on the other side of the continent, and the transaction price was 550 coins." Xia Li said with a smile.

This is true.

The last time he came to Aize Continent, he was just fooling people... and completed an order at this price.

"Five hundred and fifty. You must have met a wealthy businessman."

Moreover, he had little fighting ability and no mercenaries around him, so he was blackmailed.

The iron shop owner's mouth twitched.

"Dad... do you have guests?"

At this moment, a young girl in thick clothes came down the stairs on the second floor.

The iron shop owner raised his eyebrows, and the moment Xia Li looked over, countless small dramas flashed through his mind.

A big hand clap.

"Crack!" A sound.

"One hundred gold coins, right? Just buy it!"

Fearing that Xia Li would go back on his word, the owner of the iron shop gritted his teeth and said, "…The transaction is voluntary."

Xia Li emphasized.

He was startled by the noise.

Why is this person so startled?

They all said he was a kind businessman passing by.

There is no stealing, no robbing, no coercion or inducement, the transaction depends entirely on the willingness of both parties.

"I volunteered!"

The iron shop owner said this in a decisive tone.

……

Come out with a bag of gold coins.

Xia Li sighed.

It’s really not easy to do business.

It's just the beginning and I'm hitting a wall.

It’s a bit like college students going to other people’s stores to sell pens and umbrellas.

However, the iron shop owner was a good person after all and did not kick him out.

With this experience, Xia Li went to the other side of the street and bought two fur coats. He took off his clothes that looked like those of an outsider and dressed himself up like a local from the Snow Country.

Lucia was short, and the fur coat completely covered her legs, and the hat even covered her mouth.

Xia Li was extremely delighted when he saw this.

I bought a set of clothes and went to the alchemy shop to buy a map.

The town is quite small and there are only a few shops.

After strolling around for most of the day, Xia Li felt that the preparations were almost done.

This time he left the earth without saying goodbye to anyone.

Because I never thought about how long I would stay.

If the time to return to Aize Continent is not right, Xia Li will turn back immediately.

Only when they return to the continent of Aize in the 'future' can they prove that the flow of time is correct and they have arrived where they should be.

At the correct time flow rate, three years on Aize is equal to seven days on Earth.

This is the summary Xia Li made after traveling to the continent of Aize for the first time.

To put it in perspective... 156.4 days pass here for every 1 day on Earth.

Xia Li would stay in Aize Continent for almost a week, but only one hour had passed on Earth.

One hour is enough time for a nap.

You can go there and come back on the same day, so there is no need to say hello to friends and family.

"Have you seen this gold coin?"

In order to verify the time he was in, Xia Li found an innkeeper and handed him a very old gold coin.

This was the gold coin that fell out of Lucia's pocket when she first went to Earth. Xia Li later kept it as a souvenir and put it in a jewelry box, so it was preserved quite intact.

"This gold coin is a little different from the currency here..."

The innkeeper's wife took the gold coin and looked at it through a magnifying glass.

When he saw the patterns on it, he had an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"Hmm? Isn't this the gold coin of the Orca Empire? It's the universal currency. You can use it to pay for the room."

Xia Li heaved a sigh of relief only after receiving a positive response from the hotel owner.

"No, I choose to pay in the local currency."

Xia Li replaced the gold coin of the Orca Empire with a local currency.

The proprietress took the gold coins with a smile, then turned to the iron cabinet behind her to get change.

"No need for change, I want to ask for some information." Xia Li said.

Upon hearing this, the proprietress turned around and spoke in a surprised tone.

"But, sir, this is not a tavern, and the intelligence we can provide is of very low value..."

"It doesn't matter. The information I want to ask is very common, and you should know it."

"Then ask."

"Does the Lachlan Kingdom still exist?"

"Lachlan?"

The proprietress opened her mouth. This was indeed a well-known and simple question.

"Of course the Lachlan Kingdom exists."

"How long has it been established?"

"How long has it been? Almost fifty years, I guess." the proprietress pondered.

Xia Li pondered for a moment and continued to ask.

"King Lachlan I, is he still alive?"

"Well, he's still alive...but the one in power now is King Lachlan II, and King I has abdicated!"

"How old is King Lachlan the First?"

"Eighty-three."

……

After coming out of the hotel, Xia Li unfolded the map and studied it carefully for a long time.

Outside the house, the wind was freezing and the heavy snow had turned his head white, but Xia Li didn't feel the slightest bit of cold.

It might be because of the fur coat, or it might be that... after Lucia gave him half of her strength, her body became much stronger.

This map of the continent of Aze was made this year and is a very new map.

Xia Li was somewhat familiar with the regional branches, but there were still some countries whose names he had never heard of.

During the time he was away, history continued to change.

for sure.

They are now in the 'future' of the Aize continent.

And...it's 22 years in the future.

Xia Limo calculated it.

The last time he and Lucia saw King Lachlan, he was still a little kid. At that time, Lachlan was just a city and the king of Lachlan was only 8 years old.

When King Lachlan was 8 years old, he learned that he would summon a hero 50 years later...

That is to say, when Xia Li first came to Aize Continent as a hero, he met an old king who was 58 years old. That time, Xia Li stayed with the old king for 3 years, and when he left, the old king was 61 years old.

And this year, the old king is 83 years old.

83-61
Therefore, it can be concluded that the current Aize continent is 22 years later.

However, this number reminded Xia Li of another thing.

According to the 156 times flow rate he had calculated previously, 22 years had passed in this world, which means 51 days had passed on Earth.

These 51 days are exactly the number of days since Xia Li and his companions jumped out of the wrong time and space cycle and returned to Earth.

In other words, the time that has passed on the continent of Aize only starts from the time they jump out of the cycle of time and space.

However, none of this matters.

Xia Li just needs to remember one thing.

From his battle with Lucia, to his accidental teleportation, to his return to the correct Aize continent...

22 years have passed.

22 years.

Not to mention that the old king is still hanging on.

Xia Li’s mentor and teammates should all still be alive.

"That is to say!"

Over the vast grey earth, a giant silver dragon leaned forward and flew low.

The giant dragon, after using acceleration magic, flew so fast that its beautiful figure almost blended into the sky.

The falling snowflakes were blown out of rhythm by its huge body. If you didn't look carefully, it would be difficult to see the dragon's figure in the snow.

In fact, it doesn’t matter even if someone sees it.

After all, no one can stop a pure-blooded silver dragon, especially a pure-blooded silver dragon with a brave man sitting above its head.

Lucia's horns were hung with her bags, and in the fork of her horns was a sheep doll that was about to be deformed by the strong wind.

After listening to Xia Li's analysis of the flow of time, Lucia also had her own insights.

"That is to say!"

"Your girlfriends are still alive!"

The silver dragon raised his golden-red eyes and looked at the person on his head.

Xia Li sat cross-legged and raised his hand to knock on the hard scales on the dragon's head.

"Don't you feel jealous when you say that? How can you cheat on yourself?"

"Hehe...you clearly look forward to it!"

Lucia groaned twice.

You can tell without even looking that this brave man's mouth is curled up.

However, these people were all friends of Xia Li, and Xia Li was looking forward to the reunion, which Lucia could understand.

After all, her heroes are very loyal and righteous.

Well, responsible.

In the past, they thought that if they couldn’t see each other, it didn’t matter, as it was not something they could control subjectively.

Now that I can see him, of course I have to go and see him.

"I want to introduce you to them."

Xia Li held the azure sword in both hands, looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar continent. His deep black eyes softened rarely, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.

"Great... I'm going to have new friends again!"

Lucia was excited.

After saying this, she suddenly thought of the conflicts between the human race and the dragon race in this world.

I want people in this world to accept me...but it's very difficult.

Lucia said with some concern.

"But you are a dragon slayer. If you bring a dragon back now... you will be considered a traitor."

"A traitor is someone who joins the enemy's camp and turns against his own people. That's called betrayal... and I just took a dragon home to be my wife. It's not harmful to humans."

"I am turning my enemy into my friend... no, I am turning my enemy into my wife!"
