Even if you become a witch, you have to eat oranges

Thalia yelled like a little kid, even though she wasn't that old.Her eyes were filled with tears, and her body swayed back as Duolun approached.

On one side is a tall dragon man, and on the other side is a little human girl.From the onlookers' perspective, it looked like the former was bullying the latter, but they didn't have the heart to think about it.

Unexpectedly, Salia's reaction would be so violent. Doron frowned and said solemnly:

"This matter is not up to you, so don't be willful."

"No! Why are you driving me away!"

Salia couldn't hold it back and started crying. Big tears fell from the corners of her eyes. Her voice was filled with a thick nasal sound and became slurred:

"Don't abandon me...I can do housework...I won't cause trouble anymore, and I don't want a new sword!"

Salia in front of her was waving her hands randomly, and Doron was also at a loss.Faced with this situation, he would rather fight with the monsters, at least that would be much easier for him.

"No, I don't want to give up on you...but I still have to let you go..."

"Ahhhhh..."

Thalia cried louder.

"All calm down."

Suddenly, a third voice sounded, echoing in the room.

An old, skinny dragon man appeared in the house at some point. He was leaning on a cane.The fatigue of the past two days made him look older, but his eyes were still firm and filled with calming power.

"Duolun, you need to learn how to coax girls. No wonder you are still alone now. Dragons of your age have partners."

The old dragon man Shane Shit said with a smile.

Thalia stopped crying and stood there blankly.Duolun was also surprised, but he quickly reacted and walked up to the old man:

"I have seen the patriarch!"

Although he was respectful to the clan leader, he raised the question without hesitation:

"May I ask why you came to my house."

Although the clan leader held a high position and no one would care about him breaking into a private house, it was obviously unreasonable for a busy man to come here at this time.

Duolun became a little wary. The leader seemed to have taken refuge in the vampire clan, and he also began to distrust the clan leader.

"What a fool."

Scheinshit laughed and cursed, but he didn't look angry:

"If I wanted to harm you, why would I come here myself? There are many ways."

"Then why are you here?"

"Let me tell you a story - people like to tell stories when they get old."

Scheinshit found a stone bench to sit down after he was free. He was not polite at all in other people's homes. He laughed with wrinkles:

"Little Salia, come here and let me take a look. Don't be afraid."

"Master Patriarch?"

"Call me Grandpa, the clan leader, although the seniority doesn't match up a bit."

Salia had long forgotten the excitement before, and now cautiously came to the patriarch.

"Come on, this is for you."

Scheinst handed over the crutch in his hand, and Salia realized that it was not a crutch, but a long sword with a scabbard.

"I heard that you like swords, so I'll give this to you as a meeting gift."

Although Salia has basically never met the patriarch, to Scheinshit, he has been paying attention to her for a long time.

"Well, thank you, Grandpa Patriarch."

The old dragon man smiled, his expression softening a lot.

Salia carefully took the sword and found that based on its appearance, the ancient scabbard was full of cracks and looked worse than her broken sword. No wonder it felt comfortable to use as a crutch.

Although it looked chilling, Salia couldn't possibly dislike him in front of the clan leader.And the moment she took it, she felt inexplicably excited.

Looking at Salia holding the sword tightly, the dragon clan leader laughed and said meaningfully:

"This is a good sword, just like it."

Without waiting for any further reaction from the uncle and nephew, Scheinshit said:

"Let me tell you a story. It happened thousands of years ago, about the story of our tribe... After listening to it, maybe you will change your mind."

The old dragon man slowly and calmly told this story that has been passed down orally by the clan chiefs for generations. The ancient story, like the old dragon man, is about to be buried by time but still has a shocking power.

……

By the next day, the team, which included most of the young and middle-aged members of the entire Dragon Tribe, was ready.In order to complete the preparations as soon as possible, the dragon people were busy almost all day and night.

The noisy dragon-man team was as long as a snake. Under the protection of the hunting team led by the leader and the escort team directly under the clan leader, they began to move towards the altar.

Although they were moving in an orderly manner, the dragon people who were going to participate in the festival were very excited.Most of them have only heard about it from the mouths of the elderly. At the same time, they have longing for the Dragon God Festival and joy in regaining the lost land.

The witch apprentices also went together again, and Elena broke away from them, looking for something in the team.

When passing by an iron box surrounded by several tall dragon men, Elena seemed a little curious and stopped.

"Excuse me, what's in this?"

She tried her best to look like an innocent girl asking out of curiosity.

"Stop! Don't come closer!"

The guarding dragon man stopped her sternly.

Volume 173: [-]. The evil in the heart

"Huh? Why...this looks so weird!"

"Stay away, and no one is allowed to touch you... This is the clan leader's order."

The dragon guards surrounding the big iron box were also part of the previous battle. Of course, he recognized that the little girl in front of him was the chief's guest and helped them deal with the vampires and monsters.

However, the dragon man who finally ordered the clan leader could not just relax like this, although he did not want to be an enemy of the other party.

bump!

As if he noticed something, a dull crashing sound suddenly came from the box.With the guard's expression on his face, he knocked hard on the outer shell of the iron box and at the same time motioned for Elena to leave.

"Okay, I'll just go."

Elena curled her lips and was about to walk back.

There was another commotion coming from the box.

"It seems quite lively..."

Elena whispered and left without looking back.

She had already determined who the box contained, and there was no way she could take action now.To be blunt, it was unlikely that she would confront the Dragon Man head-on for the man in the box.

She is not alone, and her companions are all preparing to leave here.

"Not very smart..."

The guard looked furious and started beating the iron box.Elena felt that the one inside would work less hard, conserve his energy and suffer less.

Not long after walking back, Elena met Doron and Salia.

In order not to attract the attention of other draconians, Salia wrapped herself tightly in a dark, wide cloth, making her look like a big rice dumpling - which was quite eye-catching in another sense.

"Miss Elena, as I said before, I will hand her over to you."

After saying that, Duolun pushed the big rice dumpling next to him and bowed deeply to Elena:

"Salia has never traveled far and has a rather naughty personality. Please take more care of her."

"Don't be like this - I will help her more. After all, she and I are quite destined."

After a few more instructions, Duolun was about to leave. He also had his own tasks to perform.

They had cried and talked a lot yesterday, and the two of them didn't have much conversation in the end.

Salia looked at Duolun's distant back for a long time.Once she leaves, she doesn't know when she will come back.

"Let's go, we're leaving soon."

With Salia in a daze, Elena returned to her section of the team.

When they came to the carriage, the girls looked curiously at the lady who wrapped the rice dumplings tightly.

"She is Thalia, and she will leave with us."

In fact, everyone has met her a long time ago and discussed it together, otherwise Elena would not be able to make her own decision.

From an emotional point of view, Elena felt that she was not a bad child. After understanding the situation, she felt a little pitiful.

In fact, they need the help of dragon people who are familiar with the local situation. Although they have helped dragon people before, they have not left yet.And behind Salia's follow-up, there is the dragon tribe leader pushing further, so she has to give some face.

"welcome!"

"Do you really want to go together?"

The attitudes of the girls were different, but there was no obvious feeling of rejection. They were somewhat close to Salia after seeing her true appearance.

Seeing that Salia looked completely like a human girl now, they were more curious.

However, Hela seemed a little unhappy with her and turned her face to look out the window to look at the scenery.

Elena was used to it. Hela basically couldn't get along with anyone, so she would be restrained if she didn't take action directly.

"Actually, you don't need to be too nervous. We will wait until your ceremony is completed before leaving."

……

After bidding farewell to Salia, Doron returned to the hunting team.

As a quite powerful dragon elite, he is very good even in a hunting team that requires high combat effectiveness. He currently holds the position of squad leader.

The hunting team has basically been completely under the control of the commander over the years. Originally, Doron had no objection to this and even thought that this was what the powerful and brave Commander Alton deserved.

But at this moment, he looked at his former teammates and became a little nervous.

After the "blood disaster" occurred, the status of the already important hunting team in the ethnic group became even higher, and even the leader who had won many battles became more powerful.

Two of the seven transcendent elders have defected to the leader, and they have become a huge force.

If the clan leader does not want to severely damage or even completely disintegrate the clan's strength in the face of a powerful enemy, he can only watch Alton become more and more arrogant.

"This mission is very important. In order to protect the tribe and make the festival go smoothly, everyone must try their best to complete their mission!"

"Everything is for the sake of the clan, Lord Dragon God will protect us!"

"Yes! Your lord!"

"Praise the Dragon God!"

The members of the hunting team all responded excitedly to the leader.

Duolun was among them and couldn't help but sigh: If he hadn't seen Alton's actions behind his back with his own eyes, he would never have thought that such a high-ranking member of the clan who had made a lot of contributions would betray the clan.

But after several exchanges with the clan leader, Duolun has completely changed his mind. He no longer even believes in the Dragon God.

"Doron, don't be confused, you don't live for faith."

"There is no need to awaken the tribesmen. Belief in the Dragon God is not a bad thing for them, but it is really difficult for them to accept it."

The patriarch’s old face showed a relaxed smile:

"My child, you have a strong sense of responsibility, which is a good thing. But you don't have to worry too much about the clan."

"We have been living here for thousands of years, with countless external enemies and internal betrayers... Destiny will allow us to continue for a long time, and hope will never be cut off."

With the clan leader's relief, Doron also began to feel that Commander Alton could not destroy the entire clan.Even in terms of strength alone, it is not qualified.

"Clan leader, what will happen if you tell him the truth?"

What Alton hates most, and the source of his betrayal - is the transcendent advancement method passed down in the clan.That is wrong, an advanced method that cuts off the future.

But after the previous conversation, Doron already knew that this was necessary and a huge trap for every dragon man facing advancement.

"No, he will only think it is also a lie."
