Chapter 237 Zephyrion
Chapter 237 Zephyrion
The bonfire that Lilith lit died down in the middle of the night. A man, a dragon, and a gargoyle occupied the triangular position of the cave and spent the night in peace and quiet.
Until the sky brightened and the cold wind stopped, the gargoyle finally folded its wings, squatted next to the sleeping girl again, and turned into a stone statue and stood still.
The black dragon also opened his eyes at this time, but seemed to have lost interest in the gargoyle. He was too stingy to even give it a glance and just stared at the entrance of the cave.
The sun rose slowly, and some sunlight finally shone into the dark blue cave. Along with the sunlight came the sound of footsteps that only the black dragon could hear.
The red-haired girl, carrying a huge sword, was covered in mud, and the hem of her clothes was covered with ice chips formed by melting and freezing snow. She seemed to have been traveling all night, and her lips were bloodless and cracked by the north wind. At this time, she stood at the entrance of the cave and spit out clouds of white mist.
"Why is it another little brat?" Black Dragon sneered when he saw her appearance.
The girl walked into the cave without saying a word. After slowly getting used to the darkness inside, she looked at the figure lying on the ground and the bloodstains on her body. Her pupils suddenly shrank.
"Kid, can you find an adult from your family?" Black Dragon stood up with a look of disdain on his face, but the child's red hair reminded him of his old friend, and his attitude was much better than that towards Lilith.
"What did you do to her?" Leila's voice was colder than the north wind outside the cave.
Hearing this, the Black Dragon walked over and kicked Lilith, who was sleeping on the ground, and said to himself, "She should not be dead yet, right?"
The look in Leila's eyes behind him instantly became murderous.
"What did you do to her?" Leila asked again in a cold tone.
"Watch your attitude, kid." Black Dragon sneered and turned around, "I'm just--"
With a loud "bang", Lilith's consciousness finally returned. She shivered and opened her eyes, just in time to see Leila swinging the giant sword and hitting the Black Dragon in the face. There was a loud bang, and the Black Dragon felt like he was slapped, and his entire upper body tilted.
Lilith, who had just woken up and was dizzy with hunger, was faced directly with Black Dragon's face which was slapped crooked, and the disdainful sneer on his face that was so unprepared that he had no time to retract it. She looked both miserable and funny.
The Black Dragon was completely unprepared for the sudden appearance of the dwarf. He never expected that this palm-sized kid could have so much strength. He was thrown directly to the ground, face to face with the shocked Lilith, and was stunned.
Dear Leila, now I may not have to celebrate Hanukkah - Lilith closed her eyes in despair and dizziness. If she wasn't silenced, who would be?
"Don't be afraid." After Leila hit the target with one strike, she rushed to Lilith and tried to pull her up as she was so hungry that her hands and feet were weak.
With a face full of boiling fighting spirit, she pulled up the desperate Lilith and looked at the dazed man who was slowly getting up from the ground.
"Do you know who he is?" Lilith asked weakly.
"I don't care who he is!" Leila held the giant sword in one hand and supported the shaky Lilith with the other. The only thing that surprised her was that this guy was really thick-skinned.
The man covered his face in disbelief and stared at the two cubs in front of him. His cheeks twitched for a long time. Then he opened his mouth and caught a bloody broken tooth with his hand.
——The fang on his other side was also broken.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!! I will kill you!!!!!!" After a moment of silence, the man let out a huge roar that was not like a human voice, and all the birds on the hill were startled and flew away.
Lilith's head was buzzing from the shock. She no longer cared about stopping Leila who was about to continue. She tremblingly took out the bread stored in the ring and took a big bite.
——Now that things have come to this, let’s eat first.
……
"Lilith, Leila!"
Not long after, Melissa, who had finally arrived with the main force, rushed in. Just like when they first met, she pulled up the two little girls squatting on the ground and held them in her arms without hesitation. Then, like a hen protecting her calves, she protected the two girls under her wings and looked at the man who was breathing fire in the middle of the cave.
That's right, this is not an adjective, he is really breathing fire.
While the black dragon was quarreling with the old man who was trying to negotiate with him, he couldn't help but spit out some flames while talking, causing the old man standing opposite to almost retreat to the cave entrance to avoid having his eyebrows burned by this violent guy.
"Look at you! Look at your own kids! Do you take care of them? Do you take care of them?" The Black Dragon waved his broken fangs and pointed at the two little brats on Melissa's side and cursed.
He was so mad! He only needed to take one!!!
As for the two naughty kids, one was still secretly stuffing food into his mouth, while the other one looked dissatisfied and glared back at him.
"You're still glaring at me—" As the black dragon spoke, he couldn't help but spit out a ball of fire. He was really careless. Zhuang Seni's descendants were even more annoying than her! She attacked by surprise!
"Lord Zephirion, please calm down." Old Earl Taylor smiled gently, trying to calm the anger of the person in front of him despite the burning temperature. "They are still children..."
"What's wrong with the kid! What's wrong with the kid! I'm not that big either!" When the Black Dragon opened his mouth, one could see that the two upper fangs were broken. Not sure if it was because of this, but his voice was somewhat lisp.
"It's just some misunderstandings." The old count smiled heartily. "This is the fun of communicating with people, isn't it? Misunderstandings will bring about a series of wonderful reactions. Besides, everything started because you kidnapped my family to such a dangerous place. Leila was just worried about her sister's safety."
"You, you are confusing right and wrong!" The black dragon named Zephirion felt a little guilty, but then he straightened his back and said, "It's obvious that the cause of all this is because you guys took my teeth and refused to return them... Did you bring them with you?"
“I’m so sorry, Lord Zephirion.” Melissa embraced her two daughters, with a neither humble nor arrogant attitude.
"Perhaps the clan precepts handed down by my ancestors have deviated from the norm, but my father told me that we were asked to keep the dragon tooth because it was a witness to your oath. You promised that you would never wreak havoc on human territory, including fields and cattle and sheep, again within a thousand years. This oath was made in the name of your Lord."
"..."
Zephirion was speechless for a moment. Damn human beings, their lives are so short, yet they can tell such things clearly. He was just young and ignorant at the time, so he ate more livestock and burned a few acres of land. He, he was just a child at the time!
"I didn't break my oath. These years, I was too lazy to even come to the Gaia Empire. Humph, it's a poor and backward place! There are so many rules!" The Black Dragon raised his chin arrogantly and commented.
"Haha, then you should know that there is still some time before a thousand years, right?" The old earl faced the other party's naked discrimination, but still smiled.
"...Of course." Zephirian's eyes began to wander, and he stopped spitting anger while speaking. "If I hadn't kept my oath, I could have crushed that messy cub of yours to death with one hand!"
"Hmph, come again. Don't use magic if you have the guts." Leila sneered, her face full of stubbornness and unwillingness under her red hair. She grasped the sword and was about to step forward, but Melissa hurriedly held her back.
"You, you——" Zephirian didn't know if he was traumatized by Leila's unexpected attack, but he subconsciously covered his face and took a few steps back. "Forget it, I won't bother with you..."
"I won't break my oath. Anyway, you have to return my teeth first. I have something important to do!" He tried to put on a serious face and looked at the old man in front of him.
"You want to..." The old count looked at him, as if he was thinking whether his words were true or false.
Zephyrion cleared his throat, his face slightly reddened—
"I'm an adult now, and I'm going to seek a mate."
