There is a lord who just wants to draw cards, what's wrong with that?

——Love you, Xia.

Chapter 229 An ominous sign

Chapter 229-228- An ominous sign

Valentine's Day has passed, and it can be said that quite dazzling results have been achieved. Almost the entire commercial district of Kalia has been revitalized by this innovative Valentine's Day, and sales have set new records. Rockefeller, as the initiator of everything, with the assistance of Schneier and Wilcoster, has brought the topic to its highest point.

It would be impossible for Domi not to have a good talk with these two heroes.

So he took action quickly after that.

It is actually very simple to deal with Wilcoster, who is a kid from a big family like himself. Domi still found several good classmates who beat him up last time, but this time he didn't let York take the lead.

Domi asked them to put on their old 'battle suits' again and pick up sticks that he had enchanted with soul-devouring energy, so as to ensure that Wilcoste would not be able to use magic to resist.

They would attack him by surprise and beat him every three days for three weeks.

Of course, they were also worried that the Cumberbatch family behind Willcost would cause trouble for them. Domi only told them that if they came to them, they should report the name of the Blofeld family...

As for Schnell, he only has the power of the Beast Chancellor Schlieffen behind him. Domi's choice is to let Schlieffen punish Schnell himself.

As far as he knew, the relationship between the father and son was not harmonious.

Since the Queen's unilateral termination of the engagement was a secret that only a few people knew about, it was leaked by Schneier. Even if it was just a rumor, wasn't it like throwing shit in the Queen's face?

Domi used indirect means to let both of them know about this matter, and at the same time, they also knew that it was the little brat Schnell who did it. So the day after Domi did all this, Schnell was called to the royal city by his father, and when he came back, he was limping...

Seeing the two people end up like this, Domi was very happy, and it was happiness from the bottom of his heart.

Indeed, the greatest joy in the world is to avenge one's greatest hatred.

If he doesn't give those who mess with him a good beating, what's the point of him living in this world? What's the purpose of constantly training himself?

He is not a noble person, just like the system he owns, he is more comfortable being a villain.

He went to school humming almost all the way that day. He felt that the slightly hot sun was much more comfortable, and the noisy birdsong was also pleasant. Then he met Nats at the station who was also waiting for the public carriage.

He frowned, as if he was thinking about something, and his expression was quite solemn.

He didn't even notice when Domi walked up to him until he tapped him on the shoulder.

"What's wrong? You're looking sad."

"Ah, it's Domi..."

"Tell me if there is anything that is bothering you."

Naz thought about it and decided to tell Domi.

"Actually, I suddenly received some chocolate from Nancy on Valentine's Day..."

Duomi raised his eyebrows and joked, "Isn't this a good thing? At least there are girls who still think about you. Unlike my elder brother, he spends all day either doing class monitor work or hanging out in the library, living like a savage in a civilized society."

"I mean...why would you give me chocolate on Valentine's Day?"

“What to give on Valentine’s Day if not chocolate?”

"Does it have to be chocolate? No wonder, no wonder... I thought giving chocolates had some special meaning."

Domi finally understood that Natz was also a "savage" like Argyle, and this guy didn't understand at all that he organized such a big festival.

"Come to think of it, chocolates given on Valentine's Day do have some special meaning."

"Ah?? Is this true?! Then...what's inside me?"

"Why are you asking me? I'm not involved. Think about it, did Nancy say anything to you at that time? Like words like giri or honmei."

Nats recalled and said, "After giving it to him, he seemed to add that this was actually a giri chocolate."

Domi sighed when he heard this, and patted Natz's shoulder, his eyes full of regret and sympathy: "It's okay, try harder in the future."

"What's going on?"

Nats was a little confused, so he decided to shake his head and throw away this confusing thing. When he saw the car coming, he got in with Domi first.

Luckily there were two seats side by side on the bus, so they sat there, Domi by the window and Naz by the aisle.

When the carriage started moving again, Natz spoke again: "Actually, this is just one of the things..."

"Hmm? Anything else?"

Domi thought it was just another ordinary, sweet thing like Valentine's Day chocolates, but what Nats said next made him take it seriously.

"I don't know why, but I keep having the same dream these past few days..."

"What kind of dream was that?"

"It was terrifying. I felt as if I was in a ruin. There was a sea of ​​fire all around me. The sky was filled with smoke and it was gloomy. I tried to walk along the road, but the ashes blocked my way. And in the ashes I saw..."

At this point, Nats suddenly hugged his head in pain and curled up into a ball!

"Ah...ahhh!!"

"Nats!? What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Domi was a little panicked, but his experience made him calm down immediately and start to inquire about the situation.

"My head... my head hurts! That dream... it appears again!"

Dreams that happen while awake?! Can they still be called dreams?

Domi felt that this couldn't be as simple as having the same dream repeatedly, and was about to ask the driver to turn around and go to the infirmary to find a doctor, but the next second Nats' reaction gradually calmed down, his body stopped shaking and his head stopped hurting.

Domi came and squatted in front of Natz, looked up, and just caught the fleeting dragon's vertical pupil, which then turned into a normal human pupil.

It must be related to the dragon-slaying bloodline, Domi thought.

Even though the symptoms had ended, Natz still broke out in a cold sweat and felt so weak that he felt like he would fall down if the wind blew.

"Listen to me, Natsu. I think this is most likely related to your dragon slayer magician bloodline. Let's put school aside. I'm going to take you to see someone."

In the villa of old professor Montgomery.

Montgomery looked Natz upside down, like he was examining a work of art:

"So he is the dragon slayer magician you mentioned earlier... So, did your grandfather provide you with any useful information?"

Domi briefly reiterated Ernest's words and then mentioned the unexpected incident that happened this morning.

"Professor, Natsu is now depending on you. Please make sure to find out where he went wrong!"

"Yes, Professor! I'm counting on you!" Nats pleaded as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

Montgomery rolled his eyes when he heard this. "What nonsense are you talking about? How can a professor just let his students fend for themselves? It's just that your situation is a little special... No, it's not just a little, it's very special!"

Chapter 230 When Destiny Knocks on the Door

Chapter 230-229- When Destiny Knocks on the Door

Montgomery led the two to his library in the villa. Note, it is a library, not a study.

The difference is that Montgomery's library was specifically used to collect books he considered valuable for future use, and it did not have the function of being sat in to read or work.

He searched around in there with great fanfare, and after about ten minutes he finally found an ancient book that looked dusty for a long time. The craftsmanship of making the book was primitive, and the cover page looked like it was made of the skin of some ancient creature...

The three of them returned to the sofa in the living room and sat down to check.

Montgomery pointed to a certain place on a page in the book:

——Hmm…hmm~hmm!

Well, there were only hand-drawn pictures and no descriptions on it, and even if there were words they probably wouldn't be able to understand them. But based on the style of the pattern, one could roughly guess that it was a dragon slayer magician. There were vertical pupils clearly drawn in the eye area, and he looked like he was holding his head in pain. In Domi's opinion, he was exactly the same as Natsu in the morning!

Turning to the next page, a giant dragon painted in heavy ink and colors suddenly appeared, and the dragon slayer magician and the dragon started a desperate battle.

Seeing this, Natz recalled what Ernest had said to him: "Because your ancestors have too much dragon blood on their hands, if you don't go looking for the dragons, the dragons will go looking for you. The two will fight to the death..."

At that time, he vowed solemnly that if a dragon came, he would kill them all. Such ignorant and arrogant words, but who would have thought that just being targeted by a dragon would be so painful.

According to the picture and Ernest's description, this is most likely the reaction after being targeted by a dragon.

What will happen after being targeted? Perhaps a fight to the death is inevitable.

At this moment, Natz fell into deep self-doubt. Montgomery was old and might have some presbyopia. Among the three, only Domi was normal and could calmly observe all the information.

He discovered a small detail by constantly flipping through the two pictures:

"Have you noticed that the two places he was in were actually different? The former was similar to a human settlement, while the latter was in a deserted valley."

Ernest went to take a look and said, "Oh, it seems to be true, but what does that mean?"

"According to Natz's dream, this probably isn't where the battle took place. That burned ruin is."

"But where is the ruins?" Naz had just finished speaking when he noticed that the gravel road under his feet in his still fresh dream seemed to be 90% similar to the one in his hometown...

"No...don't..."

Nats panicked and stood up, looking extremely nervous.

"Did you notice anything?" Montgomery asked sharply.

Naz turned his head and looked at Montgomery and Domi. For the first time, such exaggerated fear appeared in his eyes, which had always been firm:

"My dream...seems to have happened in my hometown..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the living room fell into deathly silence.

How important is hometown to a person with flesh and blood and emotions? It is where the family is, the resurrection point of memory, and the source and root of everything.

Without a hometown, they become homeless people, the most pitiable and sympathetic group of people in the entire continent.

Domi didn't want his good friend to become a knight of the lost land at such a young age, and Montgomery didn't want his promising student to have his future ruined.

The person who suffered the most was naturally Natz himself.

What should he do to avoid the destruction of his hometown? What should he do to kill the dragon that came to kill him? He felt so lost and helpless...

"Why not spread the news that the ancient dragon has reappeared?" Montgomery suggested. "This may attract some like-minded people who want to hunt dragons, and they may be able to help you."

Domi pointed out: "In this era when ancient dragons are extinct, if you say that a living ancient dragon will appear somewhere, will others believe it? If the identity of the dragon slayer magician is not released, it will not be credible at all, and the identity of the dragon slayer magician is not easy to verify..."

"It's hard to say. The identity of a dragon slayer magician is just a way to improve credibility. There are more than one such method," Montgomery looked at Domi, "For example, your family. If your family said this, I believe that half of the continent's ambitious people would come to slay dragons."

"It's not impossible..."

It seemed that Domi was really planning to do this, but Nats quickly interrupted him:

"That won't work! Domi, you've helped me enough. If your family gets involved again, I can't afford it!"

Although it concerns Natz's dignity, his personal safety and the safety of his hometown are more important now.

"If it doesn't work, I'll just release the news under my own name. I think the cost will be much lower."

Montgomery then reminded:

"You still have to be cautious about this. That person once told me that the dragon slayer magician still has many enemies, such as the followers of the ancient dragons of the old times. Many of those people still believe in the group of winged lizards. To them, the enemies of the ancient dragons are also their enemies. You have to be careful when you go out."

"If this is the price I'm willing to pay."

"Well, you are a man, but courage alone is not enough. You are not strong enough now." Montgomery said realistically, "The best choice for you is to abandon your hometown and let the dragon hunters do the work for you, while you stay in an absolutely safe place, such as Kalia Academy."

While the two were talking, Duomi turned the pages of the ancient book to the back. He didn't understand anything about the words on the book, so he could only look at the hand-drawn pictures. However, the more he looked, the more he frowned.

The third hand-drawn picture - the dragon-slayer magician was defeated in the battle with the ancient dragon, and the entire valley was reduced to nothing.

The fourth hand-drawn picture - he fled to an unknown place and met a ruler-like being, who seemed to agree to the uninvited guest's asylum application.

The fifth picture - After who knows how many peaceful years had passed, a nine-headed ancient dragon appeared in the sky above the kingdom, and blew the horn of destruction like a messenger from hell.

The sixth picture: The most powerful human kingdom in the old times was destroyed on the spot, and the magician witnessed it all...

The seventh page - half of it seemed to be missing. Domi only saw the fallen Dragon Slayer, who was undoubtedly dead.

A very sad ending.

If you can really escape the first day, can you escape the fifteenth?

"Professor Montgomery, Kalia cannot protect Natz for his entire life. Fate will eventually force him to face the ancient dragon." Domi said after reading it, interrupting the two people's discussion that had been going on for a long time without a conclusion.

"At least we can protect him until he is able to face the ancient dragon. The magic of the dragon slayer has always been the best weapon against ancient dragons." Montgomery did not completely agree with Domi's point of view.

Domi shook his head:

"Since Natz has such a reaction, it means that the ancient dragons are not extinct yet, but just hiding. Maybe by that time, more than one ancient dragon will target Natz, two, three... maybe all the ancient dragons that are still alive. By then, I'm afraid even Kalia will be destroyed..."
