Guild Boss's Ambition

Mrs. Cottontail seemed calm and composed when she saw the brown baby dragon. She first found warm water to wash the baby dragon's body, and prepared some more nuts and vegetables to feed it. According to Mrs. Cottontail, Huabi's father was a dragon fan, so she also read several books about caring for baby dragons, and now she had the opportunity to put her knowledge into practice.

After Young Dragon had drunk his fill and lay down to sleep, Mrs. Cottontail suddenly asked, "By the way, who was the first person Young Dragon saw when he opened his eyes? If it was someone other than Huabi, then things would become complicated."

"Why?" Tris asked.

"The first person the dragon sees when it opens its eyes will become its caregiver. According to the agreement between us and the government, we have planned to let Huabi Ta be the guardian of this dragon. Now, if someone other than him becomes the caregiver of the dragon, then our agreement with the government will be completely disrupted. In short, it will be troublesome."

Government? Agreement?

That sounds like another bunch of complicated things.

After learning the reason, Taimi recalled exactly, "It is certain that the first person the young dragon saw was Huabi."

"Then I'm relieved."

Mrs. Cottontail let out a long breath and said in a relaxed tone, "Next, all we have to consider is how to raise this baby dragon. Judging from its appearance, it should be a Titan dragon or a Gravity dragon. If it is a Titan dragon, then our house may not be big enough to accommodate it."

"No way?" Taimi questioned, "A baby dragon this small should be easy to raise, right?"

"It's not easy to raise it at all." Madam Cottontail held half of her face and said distressedly, "This little guy will have to eat at least ten meals a day, and the portion of each meal will be larger than the previous one. In the shortest month, a young Titan dragon can grow to more than fifty meters tall. A gravity dragon is less troublesome. Even when it grows up, it is only three meters tall."

Fifty meters...

Wouldn’t that be taller than our entire stone house?

very scary!

If its body could grow to that size, it wouldn't be worthy of being kept as a pet!

No no no...

Sister Bai Ye seems to have a way to adjust the size of objects. For example, our little Ban is one example.

But even our little one sometimes loses control and grows bigger on his own...

Consider this…

What if a Titanosaur the size of a pet dog suddenly returned to its original size in a stone house...

Great! The stone house can be rebuilt again!

A series of terrible associations silently formed in the depths of my mind. When I looked at the baby dragon on the rabbit boy's lap, the look in my eyes was completely different. The difficulty of taking care of a baby dragon is far different from that of taking care of a little spotted dragon. The problems of size and appetite alone are not problems I can solve by myself. Even the cost of raising little spotted dragon is not paid by me.

Thinking of this, I once again deeply realized how much Sister Bai Ye and the others love me.

However, Huabi's mother did not seem to mind this new troublesome pet: "Well, we have already found the dragon egg, so why not give it a good name? It is said that a name can change a person's life. Our Huabi's name was given by his father, so it is so tasteless and not pleasing at all."

Mrs. Cottontail had a point. A good name can often make a decisive impression on people.

For example, the name Taimi reminds people of the sun and light, while the name Tris has a rural and girl-next-door flavor. Boys named Werther are usually more casual characters. In knight novels, it is a very popular name for ronin. Boys named Mark often play villains and are more emotional in their behavior.

"Wait! Mrs. Cottontail! Before you change your name, I have an important question!"

Suddenly, Taimi raised her hand with a serious look on her face.

Mrs. Cottontail asked, "What's the problem?"

Taimi pointed her finger toward the dragon. "Is it a male or a female?"

Mrs. Cottontail understood, covered her mouth and smiled, "It's a male dragon."

After learning the gender, Taimi immediately decided, "Then his name is--"

Suddenly, Tris interrupted Taimi, "And! I have another question... What is the last name of this dragon? Or, what is the format of dragon names? Are there any special rules for first and middle names? Are there any special taboos? Are children like us really qualified to name a dragon?"

It was easy to see that Tracy, who asked many questions in succession, was very enthusiastic about the matter of taking lives.

Mrs. Cottontail said, "Generally speaking, there are no special restrictions on the names of dragons. In fact, most of the names we hear about dragons are given to them by humans without permission. For example, last time, Nature's Wrath produced an evil dragon called Morningstar-Lucifer. I think it's OK to name dragons according to our human style."

"Morning Star - Lucifer? What an arrogant name! Our young dragon can't lose to him! Humph, it reminds me, let's call him Nero - Claudius - Caesar - Augustus - Germanicus! With such a resounding name, our little Nero will definitely become a hero who will go down in history!"

After hearing Taimi's proposal, Tris became anxious: "Then someone will change the name of their pet to Tyrant!"

Tai Mi asked back, "What other name do you think would be better?"

Tris thought about it for a moment, her face flushed, and she looked at each of us with a wincing look, and said hesitantly, "Well... I think it's fine to just call him Rocky, Dolby, or something like that..."

Hearing this, Taimi immediately rolled her eyes and said mercilessly: "Loki? You fool? Are you treating dragons like dogs? That's so weak! If he runs out to fight and argues with others next time, what do you want him to do then? You want him to say - I am Loki - You fool, you mortals will pay the price for angering the dragon - please! This name is simply a joke, okay?"

Being ridiculed, Tris was immediately furious and angrily retorted, "Your name is the problem! Who introduces themselves before a fight? Anyone who does that is a complete idiot! Besides, Nero's name is so long. By the time he's done introducing himself, the other side would have already chanted the forbidden spell. What the hell are you still fighting!"

Taimi only sneered at Tris' realistic argument: "You don't understand the romance of the dragon race."

Tris pointed angrily: "Wake up! You are just a human!"

Mrs. Cottontail interjected at the right time: "That's enough, both of you. Stop arguing about my son's affairs."

After hearing what Mrs. Cottontail said, the two girls who had been so excited blushed, snorted, and turned away from each other.

Looking at the rabbit boy Huabi, he just turned a deaf ear to the baby dragon sleeping on his lap, his eyes were extremely gentle.

Taimi and Trish, who were arguing over there, gradually noticed the boy's aloof attitude. Taimi, who was more impatient, was the first to get angry: "Hey! Stupid bunny, can you pay attention? You are the one who raises the baby dragon, and you have to decide its name in the end! Do you understand?"

After Taimi yelled at him, Huabi finally came to his senses and asked blankly, "Name?"

Taimi scratched her head helplessly: "We are all thinking of names for the little dragon, weren't you listening just now?"

Huabi suddenly realized something and said, "How about calling it Doragon?"

After hearing what Huabi was thinking, Taimi, Trish and Mrs. Cottontail all looked extremely upset.

Taimi said with a look of disdain: "It's okay if your name is Rabbit, but don't call it Dragon just because it's a dragon. Don't you think this naming method is stupid? If there are a large group of dragons on the scene, and we only want to call our own Dragon alone, what should we do?"

After hearing this, Huabi finally came to his senses: "Doragong-Cottontail! It's different if you add a last name!"

Doragon-Cottontail? Cottontail Dragon?

After hearing this advanced version, Taimi's expression was devastated: "Your baby dragon's tail is obviously hairless. Even if you are its caregiver, its biological parents are still giant dragons with hard tails!"

Aside, Cui Si whispered quietly: "I have a bad feeling..."

In response to Cuisi's premonition, Huabi also followed his own simple ideas and came up with version 3.0 of the baby dragon's name.

"Doragon-Steeltail!"

"I am sure—"

Taimi twitched her eyes and said coldly, "I'm sure this bad name will definitely cast a huge shadow on the dragon's life. It's not a dragon-like name at all. It feels like the naming rule of the dwarves who hope their children will become successful. Even the surname Steeltail is widely used by the Fog Mountain Dwarves in the south.

After being repeatedly challenged, it was Huabi's turn to be unhappy: "This is not good! That is not good! How about you tell me what would be better! I don't believe that Taimi can come up with a half-decent name!"

Taimi puffed out her chest confidently and snorted, "Haha, then you've asked the right person! When we talk about dragons, we have to give them a majestic name. For example, Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus. The name of a dictator like this is scary enough when you say it!"

The rabbit boy immediately complained: "Isn't this even worse!"

At the same time, Tris, who had been silent for a long time, rejoined the battle: "It is indeed worse."

Mrs. Cottontail continued to watch the show: "Wow, everyone is very creative──"

If things continue like this...

The named dragon itself is rather pitiful.

I couldn't stand it anymore so I decided to intervene and stop this farce!

"Why don't we try to integrate each other's views? Seek common ground while reserving differences?"

……

……

39. My Pot (Lian Er)

(Lian Er-Lan Nong)

"Why don't we try to integrate each other's views? Seek common ground while reserving differences?"

In response to my proposal, we all stopped arguing and wrote down our suggestions with pen and paper.

The following are different ideas from everyone.

Taimi: Nero - Claudius - Caesar - Augustus - Germanicus

Huabi: Doragon-Cottontail

Tris: Loki

Lady Cottontail: Parker

Me: Xiaoyan

Then, after a detailed and intense discussion and physical battle, we were happy to see that we successfully combined everyone's ideas, and finally, the name of the little dragon became like this: Rocky-Doragon-Cottontail-Nero-Claudius-Caesar-Augustus-Germanicus-Rock-Parker. In short, Locke.

Looking back, I was a fool for suggesting seeking common ground while reserving differences.

However, Taimi is quite optimistic about this name: "Yeah! It's a very good name. If Loki says it himself, it will be full of momentum! Loki-Doragon-Cottontail-Nero-Claudius-Caesar-Augustus-Germanic... Ouch, it hurts, I bit my tongue!"

On the contrary, Tris has fallen into despair: "I'm sorry...Locke, this is all my fault."

As for the owner, Huabi was still thinking: "Is it better to change to a steel tail?"

On the side, Madam Cottontail, who seemed to be just watching the fun, was very casual: "Very good, very good, it's a good name. Let's officially decide on the name of the young dragon! By the way, Taimi, do you want to stay for dinner tonight? It's just a thank you gift for taking care of our Huabi. As for your family, I will send my disciples to notify them."

Although none of us wanted to stay for the meal, Mrs. Cottontail was so kind that we couldn't refuse her. She said she had started preparing dishes for us early in the morning and that if we left, the dishes would be wasted. Then we heard that Mr. Cottontail wanted to thank us in person and hoped to have the opportunity to apologize to us in person.

And so we stayed as guests at Cottontail’s mansion.

This was my first time to have dinner at a classmate's house. Mrs. Cottontail's hospitality was very attentive. Mr. Cottontail was just as I had imagined, a serious man who didn't talk much. Although I felt that he wanted to communicate more with us, after chatting about academic matters, we all had a bit of a hard time communicating with each other, and the atmosphere became awkward.

Compared to the introverted Mr. Cottontail, Mrs. Cottontail was much more talkative. She easily struck up a conversation with us, allowing us to have a basic understanding of each other. Her family is a vegetarian family, and all of their dishes do not contain meat, but they are also very rich and delicious. According to Mrs. Cottontail, their family's philosophy is to avoid all unnecessary sacrifices as much as possible.

When talking about vegetarianism, I can't help but think of Huabi's performance in school.

"Mrs. Cotton-tail, your son usually eats a lot of delicious food!"

The heartless Taimi exposed Huabi's cheating behavior almost immediately, which directly led to a verbal battle between the mother and son of the Cottontail family at the dinner table. At the beginning, they discussed the pros and cons of vegetarianism and omnivoreism together in an orderly manner, but in the end, Mrs. Cottontail, who was a little bit defeated by Huabi, rudely raised the topic to the level of thinking: do you think the desire for food is more important, or your mother is more important?

With no chance to resist, Huabi was completely defeated.

But even if he admits his mistake now, I believe he will continue to eat meat secretly in the future.

Speaking of vegetarianism, I have had deep reflections since I went to the suburbs with Sister Sora last time. I agree with Mrs. Cottontail's idea of ​​avoiding all unnecessary sacrifices as much as possible, but on the other hand, both Sister Xiaolan and Meng'er, they must have thought about this aspect, but they are also omnivores.

Since they all still maintain an omnivorous diet, there must be a reason behind it.

Even though I think Mrs. Cottontail is right, I still trust Sister Little Blue and the others. I'm afraid that unless both of them become vegetarians, I will follow them and stop eating meat. I know that thinking this way is very indecisive, but if I follow the old path of smart people, I should suffer less harm.

After having dinner at Cotton Tail Mansion, we each set out on our journey home. In order to prevent us from encountering danger while walking at night, Mr. Cotton Tail specially sent his disciples to escort us. We had a safe journey. Taimi and I returned to the stone house smoothly. As soon as we reached the door, I saw Sister Xiaolan from afar.

She was standing against a pillar, holding a bag of books in her hand, and it seemed that she had been waiting for some time.

"It's just a simple meal at a friend's house. My sister is worrying too much."

I muttered to myself, smiling happily, and went to greet them with Taimi, and the disciples of the Cottontail family also left quietly at this time.

"Ah!" "Good night, Miss Lannon"

"Good night. Did you have fun at your friend's house?"

"Happy! A baby dragon just hatched at Huabi's house."

"Young dragon?" After hearing Taimi's words, Sister Xiaolan's face changed slightly and she said with a smile, "Why is Cottontail's family related to the Dragon Clan? How come you didn't tell me about such an important thing before?"

"Oh! That was about the school trip. It was the dragon egg that Ms. Sora and we found together!"

"Sora? Why didn't she tell me about this?"

"Why did Miss Sora tell Miss Lannon?"

At Taimi's question, Sister Blue was stunned for a long moment, then smiled brightly and said, "Oh! Didn't you just happen to run into her when you were traveling? We just happened to talk about this this morning, and I asked her if you guys had caused any trouble, and she told me that you didn't make any trouble, and you were very obedient, and you didn't mention anything about the dragon eggs at all."

Looking at Sister Xiaolan's expression at this moment, I felt a chill for no reason.

Although I don’t know who did what wrong, it is definitely not wrong to apologize first.

I used sign language to say, "I'm sorry, Sister Xiaolan."

Sister Xiaolan smiled and responded in sign language: "It's okay, it's not your problem this time."

Whose problem is that?

I looked at Taimi, who was looking at us with a bewildered expression. "Ms. Lannon, Lian'er! What are you two saying in secret in sign language? Are you saying bad things about me? Although I helped to instigate them to run to the outskirts of the Coiled Dragon Forest, there would have been no danger if Huabi hadn't insisted on taking the dragon egg."

"Danger?"

Sister Xiaolan raised her eyebrows in displeasure and said with a strange smile, "Dear Taimi, it seems that a lot of interesting things happened during your school trip! Come on, go get some clothes and go to my room. I'll lend you my big bathroom to wash tonight. I have something I want to ask you, and something I want to give you."
