The ancient dragon of Arknights

Neltharion could detect the flash of swords behind him if he thought about it carefully. This phenomenon was absolutely abnormal, and the Aslan girl hiding in the slum in front of him definitely had something to do with it.

Fighting is fun, but politics is an absolute pain in the ass.

Neltharion was about to grease his feet and run away, but then a strange vision appeared that stopped him in his tracks.

【Drake.Do you know what your meeting with Vina means? 】

With a flash of golden light, a golden lion appeared in the narrow and dark alley.

Thick limbs, a mane that shines like the sun, and occasionally exposed fangs - this is a true king of beasts.

However, He does not have the bloodthirsty disorder of a beast. On the contrary - this guy wears human goggles, his golden eyes also reveal the brilliance of wisdom, and his words and sentences are full of the feeling of a gentleman.

"I am not Drak, I am Vaifan. Salute to you, great being."

[Hmm... But no matter how you look at it, you are a pure-blooded Drak. What is the color of your flame? 】

"Huh? Fire? I don't have any talent for Origin Stone skills, let alone the color of fire."

【I see.My child, Veena's path has nothing to do with you, and it is not a good thing for you to meet.On the contrary, it will cause problems for both of you.Fortunately no one knew about it. 】

After saying that, the golden lion disappeared as if it had never appeared.

Vina put away her hostility, picked up her weapon expressionlessly and prepared to leave.

She obeyed her teacher's words very much, and He had just made his meaning very clear.

Neltharion looked at Vina leaving without saying anything. Too many things had just happened, and his mind was a little messed up and he needed time to sort it out.

But what concerned him more was what the lion said about Drake.

'It is true that I was adopted, but a large part of the reason for this look is brought about by the Mistyclaw.Of course, some of it is innate to me. '

Neltharion touched his horns. This unique crown hexagon obviously did not belong to the Mistyclaw. The guy had a flat head.

"Could it be that I am really a living Draco? It can't be such a coincidence..."

Also, what does the color of fire mean?Is it possible that this does not refer to the Origin Stone skill, but an abstract concept similar to "will"?

Then I have to show you my will of fire!

Kidding.

Neltharion doesn't know anything about fire. He is a pure fighter and a pure warrior.

In order to avoid trouble, he chose to run away.

The narrow alley fell into complete silence. As the lion said, no one saw the farce today.

......

"Teacher, what race is that guy? I haven't seen Drake, but he does look like Vaifan."

[Vina, you haven’t seen Draco, if you have really seen him.You will know that they are completely different beings.As for that young man...he hasn't awakened yet. When he does, the truth will naturally come out. 】

Drak is a natural master of fire control. The mastery of flames is engraved in their blood, but this power is not something they are born with.

Instead, each Drak will awaken after he finds the meaning of his existence. The awakened will will affect the effect of the flame.

You can tell what kind of person a Drak is by his flames.

Gawain was looking forward to what color Neltharion's fire would be.

Chapter 8 Should I stay or go?

"It's over...I forgot about this."

Nessario clicked his tongue. He was shocked by the incident between the big lion and Miss Aslan, and his escape speed was unusually fast.

When he quickly ran back to the dormitory, he realized that he still had a letter from home and a gift in his pocket.

Fortunately, Ceria didn't know exactly where he was. If she knew that her brother didn't take his sister's majesty seriously, Neltharion would definitely not be able to take advantage of him.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter. It'll be the same if we go tomorrow."

There were more important things to do at the moment. Neltharion carefully recalled everything he had experienced today and wrote it down in detail in his notebook.

He circled a few key words - "Aslan", "The Great Lion" and "Drac".

'Who is that Miss Aslan?What have you experienced?None of this has anything to do with me.She crawled around in the slums, but when she couldn't, there was a lion who came to her rescue.I'm in a lot of trouble. '

"Drake's heir may be due to the race's poor reproductive ability. But after all, it is a royal family. If there is no successor, a stallion must be raised."

"The more important thing is that after the Extinction, Draco's stories are slowly disappearing, as if they had never appeared on the land of Terra. There is definitely a conspiracy behind this, and someone is deliberately trying to obliterate Draco."

Neltharion made the most logical reasoning. Drak's demise is indeed full of mystery, and it is precisely this kind of mystery that can reflect the crisis.

With Drake's influence completely gone, who will be the biggest beneficiary?

Of course, Aslan is also a member of the royal family. The person who most wants you to die must be your colleagues - and your colleagues in the profession of emperor are even more murderous at every step, which is extremely thrilling.

But... Aslan is also dying.

Open the history book - the last king was executed, and no new king came forward after his death; open the newspaper, all political matters are promulgated and modified by the parliament.

As for the descendant of Aslan, she couldn't even put on decent clothes, so her residence wouldn't be much better. As for her own cultivation...at least Neltharion had a good impression of her, even though she was young and reckless. But this is much better than being mean and cowardly.

"Could it be other dignitaries? They hanged Aslan and Drak together with invisible ropes? This would be too terrible..."

Neltharion had in his mind knowledge of social structures, emperors, nobles—these things should indeed be swept into the trash heap of history.

But this concept doesn't work in Terra. If you want to overthrow feudal rule, the first thing you need to wake up to is the sentence: "Princes, generals, and prime ministers, would you rather have your own kind?!"

The royal nobles of Terra are really talented!

Those special races are born with different powers, and the lower limits of some races even exceed the limits of others.

Neltharion's sister Seria is the best explanation - a female stream, but a Vaifan female stream; her explosive combat power, endurance and other physical qualities are even far superior to adult men of other races.

Neltharion even heard that the dragon nobles in the East have long lifespans, and that a hundred years is not their end.This is ridiculous, someone can beat you to death even if you are an old man.

"I have no interest in my biological parents, identity or bloodline. But others don't think so... If someone thinks I am Drac, it will cause unreasonable disaster, which will be troublesome."

The best and wisest choice right now is to give up his plan to study abroad. Nesario will not lose much by packing up his things and fleeing back to Colombia at this time.

For the sake of his own ability and Ceria's face, Tremont University will definitely accept him again.

But this feeling...he didn't like it.

"Yes, Victoria is in danger. Although I can't see or touch it, it does exist, and we will face it one day. But just because of this little disturbance, you run away?"

The advantages of the Dragon Clan are obvious - unparalleled power; but the disadvantages are also outstanding - arrogance, greed, and even more furious when the reverse scale is touched.

Neltharion had also been subtly changed by this nature. If he ran away today because of this speculation, he would only feel that he stinks.What's the difference between this and the stupid dragon beast!

It was decided that not only would Neltharion not run away.He even made up his mind that if anyone dared to provoke him, he would definitely make that person die without a place to bury him and burn his heart and bones!

After tearing out the thoroughly analyzed notes and burning them, Neltharion lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

......

The next day, the academy still hadn't started classes yet, so Neltharion had enough time to get familiar with the city below him.

He quickly found the contact point for the messengers from all over the world and successfully sent letters and gifts to Serea in Colombia.

After this matter was settled, he chose to go to the Sadien District again. Yesterday's discussion with Aslan was purely accidental. Nesario's purpose remained the same - to find the stronghold of the Houndstooth Gang or the Glasgow Gang, and then... Once the good neighbor superhero beat them to the ground.

"'Valerie' cake shop is newly opened, all the products in the store are half price this week?"

Looking at the advertisement in front of him, Nessario was a little moved. His personal views on sweets were at a level of neither above nor below - they were indeed delicious, but not indispensable.

The key is to take advantage of it, and it’s fun to join in the fun, right?

Soon, under the guidance of the advertisement and the map, Nesario quickly found this cake shop.

The road where the cake shop is located is very spacious. The decoration style of the street is classic Victorian style, making the overall appearance elegant and luxurious. The road is very clean and tidy, and most of the shops on the street are boutique clothing stores and luxury goods.

The style of "Valerie" is not much different from it. At first glance, if you don't pay attention to the cakes in the store, you won't even know that this is a cake shop.

Jingle bells - the crisp sound of wind chimes sounded the moment Nesario pushed open the door and walked out.

"Welcome, sir."

"Hello, is there anything I can do to help?"

A young lady with long golden hair came over to serve Nesario. Apart from him, there were actually other people in the store.But this lady seemed to ignore the others and walked straight towards Nessario.

A young Vaifan youth with a Colombian accent - this is the symbol of money in Victoria's perception.

A few decades ago, Colombia did have a life of luxury and luxury like the "Modern Era". At that time, Colombians were the fattest scapegoats in all parts of Terra.

All kinds of luxury brands like it, as do kidnappers and robbers.

Today, the modern era has passed, and all Colombia's wealth has fallen into the hands of plutocrats; ordinary people can no longer spend money like water.

But the wealth owned by ordinary Colombians is still higher than that of people in other countries on Terra. Maybe this is the advantage of the system.

Chapter 9 Encounter at the Cake Shop

"Can you recommend any cakes?"

"Would you like to give it as a gift or would you like to taste it yourself?"

“Taste for yourself.”

Neltharion had just arrived, and there was no one to whom he could give gifts.

“Then I highly recommend this range of cakes.”

The waitress brought Nesario to the cake stand in the center of the store. Nesario looked at it calmly - What a guy!This is the most expensive place in the whole store!

Is it really good for you to start playing this game as soon as you open the business?Aren’t you afraid that repeat customers will disappear?

"Mousse and chiffon - although these two cakes look very similar, they have completely different tastes. If customers are interested, they can buy one of them because our store has just opened and you can enjoy a half-price discount."

After saying that, Miss Philing winked at Nessario.

Neltharion was unfazed by this.

He decided to rely on himself to choose. Sometimes the price can only be used as a reference. The food in the streets and alleys is not necessarily worse than the taste in high-end restaurants. The difference between the two lies in the style, environment, and so-called face.

The same goes for cakes. Those colorful cakes with a nice name can rise in value like a rocket, but some cakes are not liked because of their appearance.

Sure enough, Neltharion soon found his favorite thing.

"What is this cake called?"

Nessario discovered that there was only one piece of cake left on a certain shelf. Compared to other shelves that were full of them, this flavor seemed to be sold faster?

"This is 'Valerie', which is the same as our store name. It is baked by our best baker, and its taste is very unique. However, because there is currently only one baker who knows how to make it, the output is not high. .”

"Then I want this!" x2

Nesario quickly grabbed it, it was consistent with the name of the store - isn't this the so-called signature product?If this cake tastes bad, then "Valerie" will completely collapse, so it must be our masterpiece!

But just when he took action, another voice sounded next to him. The other party's goal was consistent with Neltharion! ?

Turning around, what came into sight was Miss Felin.

This young lady looks to be the same age as Neltharion, the age when girls are most youthful and graceful.Her clothing reflects this very well. She is wearing the uniform of a Victorian high school girl, with a white shirt collar and a black tie. There is also a gray cotton shirt outside the shirt, but this shirt is covered under it. It's so tall that it's not what a high school student should have.

The lower body is wearing a black pleated skirt. Below the skirt is an absolute realm of healthy colors. Further down, you can see the playful black mid-calf socks peeking out from the mid-top boots.

The youthful, lively, and beautiful atmosphere hit his face, and Nesario even felt like he was back in high school—although it didn't take long.

In addition, this young lady has an impressive head of light green hair. If you know the color, it will naturally not attract much attention. What is eye-catching is the volume of her hair - the super long green hair almost covers it. Her whole back, if you pass her side by side, you may suspect that a clear spring has just passed by you.

Her emerald eyes, which match her hair color, and her big, watery eyes, are probably this; but what’s more interesting is the corners of her eyes, such a cute girl has a pair of hanging eyes.In terms of appearance, women with this characteristic generally have a strong and mean personality, and few people like this type.

However, when this characteristic appears on a young and beautiful film girl, it becomes weird. Just looking at her face will make you feel that you are being teased. If she smiles again, the person who looks at her will definitely Scratching my head and remembering where I made the mistake.

"Although being courteous to a lady is one of the qualities of a gentleman, this lady, I have been here since just now."

Nessario knows nothing about gentlemanly behavior. There are neither knights nor gentlemen in Colombia, but only equality between men and women.Even beside him, the lady was obviously stronger, at least he had never seen any man who could fight against Seria.Those little bastards who said they wanted to pick her up in school ended up crying miserably.

"I'm sorry, but after hearing this lady's introduction, I was very moved. After all, this is a cake baked and designed by Master Dior himself."

Miss Green Duflin explained her motives, and it seemed that the baker of the cake was the one who attracted her heart.

"Who is Master Dio?"

"He is our chief baker, and he is the best among all the bakers in Londinium and even in Victoria."
