The Cursed Dragon and His Human Knight (Seventeen)
It would be a bit of a waste to just buy some wine when going out on such a snowy day. Thinking of this, Song Ning turned a corner and went to the farm in town to buy some milk.
He wanted a lot, and farmer Joseph came out carrying a wooden barrel and looked curiously.
"Could it be that the store has some special ingredients that require milk to process? I don't think I've heard of this before."
As expected, people will be suspicious, Song Ning thought and said it casually.
"There is indeed a newly discovered material that works better with this, but it's still under testing and may not be used in the future."
He rubbed his nose with his gloved hand, and the smell of hay and livestock was strong. Song Ning casually placed five coins on an empty wooden barrel.
The two wooden barrels were not light, but Song Ning carried them back by himself, one on each side.
When he entered the door, a dragon flew down from the stairs and circled around him. Song Ning put down the bucket, raised his leg to close the door, and then bit his gloves to drive the dragon away.
"Go away and stop bothering me."
Lance didn't care. He flapped his wings and circled around Song Ning. He used his claws to brush off the snowflakes on Song Ning's shoulders before gently landing.
Song Ning tilted his head, "...He's quite smart, I can't tell."
I thought it was a stupid dragon that would be frozen.
Song Ning originally thought that a whole bucket of milk should be enough for a long time, but after only three days, the young dragon was unwilling to drink anymore and began to climb onto his dining table and try to steal his steak while he was opening the letter.
"What are you doing, little guy? This isn't your meal."
Song Ning grabbed the scaly tail with a pair of cowhide gloves and lifted up a long piece while destroying the magic circle on the letter.
This kind of letter is very special. It is a letter sealed by a private magic circle developed by a magician personally. Unless other magicians know the magic circle itself, any attempt to destroy the magic circle will cause the letter to be destroyed together with it. It is often used to transmit some important information.
Song Ning put the dragon down and then destroyed the magic circle with a special dagger.
This dagger is equivalent to a special secret key. Apart from him, only the magician himself can open the letter.
To my beloved Excellency:
As you predicted, the brave team that Alpha joined has been on frequent missions recently. The strange weather has helped them conceal many of their movements. For example, my people found that different people often went to their camp at night and left before dawn.
Because of the heavy snow, it has become more difficult for us to obtain intelligence, but please believe that your loyal friends will continue to work hard to find out their news.
Also, a rumor recently caught my attention.
"His Majesty the King is very worried that the curse of the evil dragon will bring misfortune to this land, so if the brave team can really hunt the evil dragon successfully, His Majesty the King will give them the supreme reward."
I can't guess what this reward is, but some claim they've heard His Majesty say it's to grant them the status of Crown Prince, and that the next King might be born from among them.
Song Ning said expressionlessly: "Shit!"
He simply didn't believe that the king would divide up the royal power, not to mention that not all the brave team members were nobles.
At least although Alpha is already an A-class magician, he is always attacked by those who dislike him because of his background as an ordinary civilian.
After throwing the letter into the fireplace and burning it, Song Ning calmed down and his eyes fell on Xiaolong on the table.
The baby dragon had obviously grown a lot bigger than at the beginning, but there was still some sauce from the food he had stolen at the corner of his mouth, so it was obviously not that big.
"That rumor...could very well get you killed."
Song Ning looked at the young dragon with complicated eyes as it flew off to sleep after eating, and his heart was as cold as the outside of the window.
He didn't know what the purpose of the person who spread the rumor was. He only knew that the identity of the crown prince would only make more people rush to find the real dragon like moths to a flame.
What should he do?
