My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 287 New Life

Chapter 287 New Life
"Dongdong,"

South of the Royal City of Lachlan.

This place is far away from the downtown area, and each independent building has its own small and unique garden in front of it.

In the extremely expensive Royal City of Lachlan, owning such a small piece of land is considered a high status and prestige.

People who live here are either rich or noble.

Or perhaps, a hero with great achievements.

Fiona White, the strongest swordsman born with the Kingdom of Lachlan, is revered as the Sword Saint by the humans of the continent of Aize.

Before meeting Xia Li, he lost his left hand in a battle, and later retired from the front line of the battlefield to the rear.

When the brave Xia Li was summoned by King Lachlan, Fiona was entrusted with an important task and became the first and only mentor of the brave in this world.

Fiona imparted all her rich combat experience and superb swordsmanship and archery skills to the brave Xia Li without reservation.

Her martial arts skills were so strong that she was like a towering mountain standing in front of Xia Li, and Xia Li could not climb over her no matter what.

Without the power of divine weapons, Xia Li had never defeated his mentor.

Under Fiona's rough and even somewhat abusive training, Xia Li is growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

From a boy who would cut his hands even when cutting vegetables, he grew into a reliable man who could wield a long sword and cut through all obstacles in the blink of an eye.

In fact, Xia Li was still very grateful to her.

If it weren't for Fiona's hellish training, Xia Li would have died on this land long ago.

"dong dong dong,"

There was a pause.

Xia Li stood in front of an arched wooden door and knocked again.

There were footsteps in the house, and then the door opened gently.

The person who opened the door was a young girl. When she saw Xia Li behind the door, she was stunned for a moment, and then an excited expression appeared on her face.

"You must be Mr. Xia Li!"

"Yes, it's me."

The girl opened the door completely and politely moved aside to let Xia Li enter.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, please come in!"

Xia Li stepped in, holding a bouquet of flowers in one hand and a hand full of fresh ingredients in the other.

Although I consider that my tutor has everything he needs, as a student I still want to convey my heartfelt gratitude.

After looking around the house, Xia Li was somewhat surprised by the simple and plain decoration style.

There are no fine decorations on the mud walls, plain wooden floors, and four transparent rooms.

Mentor Fiona's home is as simple as an ordinary unfinished house outside the city.

There is absolutely no feeling of being in the most expensive area of Lackland King City.

"Excuse me, are you..."

Turning around, Xia Li was a little concerned about the girl who opened the door.

The girl smoothed the pigtails on her shoulders and answered Xia Li with a smile.

"I am Lady Fiona's granddaughter..."

"Granddaughter?" Xia Li was surprised.

That mentor Fiona actually already has a granddaughter.

I thought that the other person was at most her daughter...

But think about it.

When Xia Li met her, she was already in her thirties, and now she is probably in her sixties.

"When Lady Fiona was young, she suffered from an incurable disease. As she got older, her health deteriorated day by day... Please come this way."

The girl led the way and went straight to the innermost room.

The door was half open and the woman was sitting quietly inside. The slanting sunlight from outside illuminated half of her face.

Fiona sat in a wheelchair with a thick blanket covering her legs.

In fact, she was not as old as Xia Li imagined, but a little thinner than before, and her limbs had begun to atrophy, so she still looked shocking.

"teacher……"

Xia Li put the flowers into Fiona's hands.

The right hand of the sword master, who had once saved countless people, was now emaciated.

"I miss you."

Fiona's long red hair was like a flame. She put the flowers on her legs and raised her arms trying hard to hug Xia Li.

Xia Li bent down and hugged her.

Familiar smell, she still likes to take a bath with daisies. No matter when, she always has a little daisy scent on her body.

"Teacher, I..."

"I'm sorry, Xia Li."

Xia Li was just about to express his love for him, but Fiona raised her arm, patted Xia Li on the back, and apologized to him in a low voice.

Xia Li was surprised.

"Teacher, why do you say that?"

“I’ve always felt guilty…”

There was deep apology in Fiona's eyes. She raised her head and said softly:
"When I first met you and saw the immaturity on your face... I felt deeply guilty."

"Before you came to the continent of Aize and were forced to become a hero here, you couldn't even hold a sword. Let alone kill someone, I'm afraid you haven't even killed a small animal. I see this in you."

"However...because of our wishful thinking and the responsibilities we imposed on you, you have to take up arms and meet the enemy. This is not fair to you."

"I didn't dare to say it before because I couldn't discourage your morale. I couldn't wake up the high hopes that the people of Lachlan had placed on you... But as time went by, I regretted more and more that we had hurt you. After you disappeared from the Aize continent 22 years ago, this matter became a knot in my heart. I thought I could never say these words again."

"Now that you're back..."

"I'm really sorry, Xia Li, you've suffered."

After Fiona finished speaking in a gentle voice, Xia Li suddenly felt his nose sore.

"Don't say that, teacher, I did this voluntarily..."

"Your willingness was forced upon you by us. You are a good kid and you don't want to disappoint everyone, so you have to move forward."

Fiona patted Xia Li's shoulder gently. The warm sun outside shone obliquely through the window onto her head. Xia Li saw that her fiery hair was mixed with some white strands.

Fiona is really old.

In fact, Xia Li knew very well that this was his own wish.

Including summoning himself from Earth to the continent of Aize, this was the path he chose.

But when Fiona looked at him with such loving eyes, he felt as if he were actually suffering.

In front of teachers, students are always children.

"At the beginning..."

Xia Li choked for a moment and continued.

"I was quite scared at first, but later I got used to the atmosphere. I just treated it as a unique AAA game, except I only have one life and can't give it up easily..."

Fiona listened quietly to Xia Li's story. Although she didn't understand many words, she knew that the child in front of her had indeed suffered a lot.

Everyone thinks Xia Li is a noble and powerful hero, but Fiona is the only one who has seen Xia Li's fragility and helplessness.

She hugged her beloved student and felt the warmth from his chest.

On this bright morning, I just hope time will go slower and slower.

……

The other side of the continent.

This is the deepest part of the forest, the home of dragons.

As the dragon territory gradually shrinks, the dragon clan that has been living in the dragon hometown for many years has become overcrowded.

The density is such that there are dozens of dragons living every kilometer.

You know, a long time ago, the territory of a strong dragon could reach thousands of kilometers. You can imagine the density of one kilometer today.

However, I heard that a few years ago, some dragons discovered a new vast territory at the end of the South China Sea of the Aize continent.

There are no humans or elves living in that land, so it may be a good place for the dragon clan at this stage.

The black dragon Neil Hawke has been preparing for this. He tried to move the World Tree, but this required the concerted efforts of almost all the intelligent dragons to accomplish this, and one can imagine how difficult it would be.

In addition to the great migration of dragons that troubled the black dragon, there was another thing that Neil Hawke could not let go.

That was his meeting with the silver dragon Shyvana more than seventy years ago.

"It's about time..."

Looking at the tangled branches of the World Tree, the Black Dragon Neilhawk muttered to himself.

If the silver dragon doesn't come back, it will never come back.

They are about to move.

Before moving, Neil Hawk still hoped to meet this descendant of the Silver Dragon again.

Thinking of this, as Neil Hawke sighed, he suddenly felt a familiar breath.

When he looked again, a woman appeared out of nowhere in front of his immobile body that had merged with the World Tree.

The woman was tall and slender, wearing a snow-white fur cloak with three thousand silver threads falling down her body.

Those golden-red eyes belonging to a pure-blooded dragon were still as cold and aloof as ever.

But compared to the last time we met, she seemed a little more mature and stable this time.

"Hello again, Shivana."

Neil Hawke said with relief.

"I came here to thank you."

Lucia placed the roasted lamb she had bought under the towering World Tree.

Since she really didn't know how to thank Neil Hawke, Lucia simply started with "eating".

Every living thing needs to eat, so giving Neil Hawke something new and exotic would be more practical.

"Oh...human food. I haven't seen it for a long time."

Neil Hawke's voice was deep, and the hollow echo seemed to be falling from the sky.

He manipulated the roots of the World Tree to roll up the roasted lambs that Lucia had placed on the ground, and then dragged the food into the soil.

"It looks like you succeeded."

Neil Hawke opened his golden-red eyes, which were almost identical to Lucia's, and looked Lucia up and down, then said meaningfully.

"Fate has destined you to succeed. Now, I am also a witness to the future."

Neil Hawk laughed twice, and his withered body completely merged with the World Tree. When he laughed, the entire giant tree was shaking.

The real 'flowers and branches are shaking'.

"I heard you're moving?"

Lucia heard some rumors as she came over, and she asked Neil Hawke with some concern.

Neil Hawke shook the black faucet and nodded.

“Are we going to give the last of our forests to humans?”

Lucia said thoughtfully.

After all, she has dragon blood running in her veins, so even if she falls in love with a human, it won't make her do something that completely betrays her own race.

When she heard that the dragon clan was preparing to migrate, she still felt a little regretful.

"It's not that we're giving it to them, it's just that we're not ready yet."

"Yeah, not ready yet."

Lucia echoed, a slight smile tugging at her lips.

All dragons are so stubborn.

She said the same thing when she couldn't beat Xia Li.

"There can only be one overlord in a world. We have been fighting with humans for thousands of years. It is time to give both sides a result."

Neil Hawke's tone was not regretful. Instead, he seemed relieved after making the decision.

"We need time to develop. When we mix with humans, our blood will become increasingly diluted... This is what is truly important to us."

After Neil Hawke said this, Lucia began to understand.

The dragon race doesn’t care what they eat or where they sleep.

But they have very high requirements for bloodline.

The worse the bloodline of the dragon, the lower the level of intelligence, and the more likely they are to cause riots. This is also the origin of the constant conflicts with humans.

It seems that Neil Hawke and his tribesmen have also figured this out.

"I support your decision."

After getting the answer, Lucia chose to support.

Neil Hawke nodded with relief.

"By the way, I've always wanted to ask a question."

Lucia felt a little tired of standing, and the tree roots under her feet suddenly twisted into a chair for her to sit on.

"Do I weigh 3000 tons?" Lucia said after sitting down.

Neil Hawke was deeply puzzled by this question.

Lucia continued to explain.

"My...my partner said that even if I weighed 3000 tons, he wouldn't despise me."

When saying these words, Lucia had a serious expression on her face, as if she was asking some serious question.

Neil Hawke was amused by her words.

"Hahahahaha..."

"Believe it or not, when your main body really reaches 3000 tons, he will change this number to 5000 tons or 8000 tons."

Looking at Neil Hawke's cheerful smile, Lucia couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth, feeling a little happy.

Also.

Xia Li is a smooth talker, and he can say anything to make her happy.

Besides...

Even if I really weigh 3000 tons, Xia Li is not allowed to look down on me!
"Actually, I have been researching the issue of dragon bloodline recently."

Just then, Neil Hawke's voice interrupted Lucia's thoughts.

He continued to talk on his own.

"If the blood of the dragon race continues to be diluted, then it is only a matter of time before the last pure-blooded dragon in the world disappears..."

"That would be so sad."

"So, I got another inspiration from you... I was thinking, if there is a life form that can withstand the power of dragon sacrifice magic, and their bodies and minds merge, then what kind of bloodline will their offspring have? Can we also understand that those offspring are also pure-blooded dragons?"

"For example, you and the hero... Logically speaking, the hero has half of your power flowing through him. That power has penetrated his bones, soul, and blood. In many ways, the hero is also a 'pure-blood dragon'. So the offspring born from your union will also be a pure-blood dragon, not a half-blood dragon."

"In theory, this is how the result should be. I really want to see this answer from you..."

"If you give me the correct answer, then our dragon race will be saved."

Neil Hawke analyzed a lot.

Lucia listened with great interest.

Although she didn't quite understand the rules between bloodlines, she also felt that this was the truth.

For the future of the dragon clan, she will work harder!

Xia Li was defeated yesterday, and he will be defeated every day from now on.

hee hee~
Lucia was happily planning her future life in her mind.

At this moment, Neil Hawke shook his body in the main trunk and turned his huge head towards Lucia.

He looked at Lucia who was sitting on the bench and said with a serious look.

"I think there will be an answer soon."

"Ok?"
