I grew up in a litter with four red dragon sisters

Chapter 98 97. Yani's biological father

The ruler wanted to retort but hesitated for a moment, and the captain behind caught up.Holding back the officer who clenched his fists emotionally, he whispered something.

Nigel knew that the captain was only arranged by the princess today, and he was particularly afraid of problems with today's work, so he would definitely come to smooth things over.

After a few minutes of talking, Alex, the officer of the empire, finally nodded.

"Since your meeting with the princess is allowed by the empire, I will let you go today. I said, I'm just a routine." After that, he left without looking back.

WTF?Seeing the princess's face required the permission of the empire, and now he was very afraid that his conversation with the princess would be monitored.

Yani hurried to Nigel's side.

"Humans are really difficult to communicate with." Yani said in a very small voice.

"What the hell did you tell that person?" Nigel asked with his head down.

"It's nothing, it's really just chatting with them like you told me." She spread her hands and said.

"Don't talk nonsense. If you really want to talk, think about how you usually communicate with Nafirin."

"But when I usually see that stupid giant, I would say something to him."

"Forget it, you'd better shut up." Nigel said, covering his forehead.

……

The brother and sister came to the door of an old house next to the lumberyard.It is also the residence of Yani's father.

Obtaining the address here is quite easy, because Yani's father is quite famous, and seems to be one of the most powerful mages in the empire.Nigel asked the captain directly and asked for the address.But the captain also warned him that the old man had a strange temper.

"Say his name again," said Yani.

"Ronin," said Nigel, "your father's name is Ronin McCullough."

"I've always wondered why my real name and surname when I was born was Cleos, not some human's surname." Yani scratched her chin and thought for a while, then said, "Maybe I was born from an egg , if I had been born from a human womb, I might have had another name."

"Maybe." Nigel then said with a serious expression, "Repeat the instructions I gave you before."

"You are too suspicious." Yani sighed and said, "I will remember, and I will not reveal our exact location in the forest. If there is something wrong, I will contact you with magic props."

"Well, this is very important. Even if he is your father, you can't trust him." Nigel then changed his tone and said, "Are you sure you want to see him? It's too late to go home now."

"Phew, I'm sure, I've thought about it for a long time. This is very important." Yani took a deep breath and said, "However, I still don't know how to talk to humans... I found that although I have half human blood, but I've never had the talent to talk to humans. Like I screwed up on the city walls. I'm sure I won't be able to learn the social skills you taught me. I'm afraid... I'm afraid I'll be like my father and say nothing when we meet Not sure.

"Why don't we go and come back when I'm ready." Yani forced a smile.

She must be very nervous. She has reached this point, but she has the idea of ​​retreating.

"Yanni, listen to me." Nigel said, holding Yani's shoulders, "There are many social routines that are ever-changing, but there is one routine that can be used universally, and that is sincerity."

"sincere?"

"Yes, say what you want to say. It takes some courage. But don't be afraid to say the wrong thing. Sincerity is always a powerful form of communication."

Yani thought for a while and nodded.Take a few deep breaths.

Then, she stepped forward and knocked on the door according to human etiquette.

No one answered.

Yani knocked again, but there was still no response.

Just when they thought no one was home, shouts and curses came from the room.

"I don't see anyone, I don't see anyone, and it's you guys who are apprentices again. I said I don't accept apprentices—"

The door was opened, and the person who opened the door was a hunchbacked old man with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes.The moment he saw who was knocking on the door, he was stunned.

Yani looked at him, and he looked at Yani.

After a long time of embarrassment, Yani finally said tentatively, "Hello, I—"

"boom!"

The door was slammed shut.

Yani and Nigel looked at each other, and Nigel shrugged.

Then, the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets came from inside the room, as well as some murmurs of inaudible human language.The two little dragons waited for a long time, but the old mage still didn't come to open the door.

The breeze blew, and the door creaked open a crack, and the old man didn't seem to close the door tightly.Yani looked at her brother, and after Nigel nodded, Yani pushed open the door.

The dark room was filled with dust, and the tall and thin old man was hurriedly pushing stacks of books into the bookshelf.

There were papers and books all over the room, and a lot of sundries and clothes were piled up on the tables and chairs, and there was no place for anyone to stay.

"That..." Yani whispered.

"Ah! Why did you come in?" The old man was frightened and quickly stood up straight, "You guys, you can sit anywhere, I'll get the teacup, the teacup..."

While he was talking, a teacup fell to the ground because of shaking hands, and he quickly bent down to pick it up.Then hurriedly took the kettle out from the dust of the pile of books.

Yani watched all his movements curiously, as if she was about to observe something.

If the previous Nigel would have run up to help, but this is Yani's father, and the relationship with him is a bit delicate.So he simply threw aside the dirty clothes on the two chairs, and sat down with Yani.

"Drink tea, drink tea." The old mage came over with a smile on his face, and handed two dusty teacups to the brothers and sisters.Then he also took a chair and sat in front of the two of them.

In an awkward atmosphere, the three of them looked at each other, and the old mage Luo Ning immediately looked away when he saw Yani.

In an awkward atmosphere, the three drank a sip of tea at the same time.

Nigel got a taste of dust.

The old mage didn't dare to look in Yani's direction, but he looked Nigel up and down.

"Excuse me?"

"I'm Siddhartha, her brother." Nigel used a pseudonym.

"Oh...yes, we met at the lumberyard. You don't look like... well, you know." The old mage Luo Ning said with a bow, "Actually, there is one thing I'm sorry for you, I Bundle--"

"I know, you sent all my brothers and sisters here to see me." Yani held a teacup and looked at him calmly.

"You already know." Luo Ning's hands trembled a little.

"Understood, but...we're fine." Yani nodded.

"I hope you don't hate me for this, I did something stupid." The old man said with his head down.

"It's okay." Yani shook her head, "It's actually quite cool."

"Ok?"

"I know it's dangerous, but it turned out to be pretty cool," Yani said, looking at him.

"It's...cool, isn't it?" The old man finally looked up at his daughter.

Then, the air fell into a brief silence.

"Will you stay, Yani?" Luo Ning asked suddenly, "Siddhartha too, stay and live, your identities are not safe. Dragon hunters are looking for you everywhere."

The siblings looked at each other, then Yani shook her head at her father.

"Don't, stay here. I have a lot of delicious and interesting things here." Luo Ning stood up and began to rummage through the pile of dust, "Do you want biscuits? Biscuits made by magic, no It will make you fat, and the court nobles of the empire are using it."

Before Yani could respond, he opened many books again, "Learning magic? I am the most powerful mage in human beings, and I can teach you everything.

"Or toys? I have a lot of dolls, some of them look like real people. I'm sorry, I don't know how old you are... Do you still play with toys? I can still-"

He looked at Yani, but she still shook her head.

"Sorry, I don't belong here. Staying in a human city doesn't belong to my life." Yani said, "But don't be too nervous, I won't leave right away."

Luo Ning stared at her in a daze, then nodded slowly.
