The Journey of the Rainbow Dragon

"Ahhh~~ Why hasn't Shirley come back yet? Tina is going to starve to death!"

When Shirley walked to the door of Hearthstone Tavern, she heard Tina's complaints from upstairs before she even entered.

"This greedy guy."

Shirley smiled knowingly, and the worries in her heart disappeared.

When she first returned to the Dragon Tavern, Shirley realized that the quiet surroundings were a bit different from the lively scene she had imagined.

After all, an event planned by himself should not receive such mediocre response.

Obviously there were many customers queuing up before he left, but now the street scene was empty.

Shirley thought something had happened during her absence.

What she didn't know was that this incident was entirely due to the "credit" of the boss behind it, Ron.

"But, what about Reinhardt and Leona?"

Shirley scanned the outside of the store for a week, but could not find the two figures.

She spent a lot of gold coins to hire those two actors. Judging from the bleak sales situation, she probably lost money and made a profit.

It wasn't until the students in the store noticed her arrival and rushed to open the door to greet her that Shirley entered the store with some confusion.

"Teacher, you are finally back."

"Your friend is waiting for you on the third floor."

"Teacher Shirley, just now."

The magic apprentices all told Shirley about the large-scale mental manipulation incident just now and the farewell of the sword master.

After Shirley patiently listened to their speeches, she finally understood everything that happened after she left.

After learning what happened, Shirley was immediately furious.

"Well, Ron, you just want to be a hands-off shopkeeper and don't do any work, and now you're helping me!"

She thought angrily in her heart, but still kept a smile on her face.

"Thank you for your hard work, I brought you lunch. You can go back and rest in the afternoon. I also wish you a Happy New Year in advance."

Shirley smiled and said to the students, and took out the meal for twenty people from the space ring.

"How is this possible?"

The apprentices stared at the fragrant delicacies and declined with some embarrassment.

But their stomachs kept making protesting noises.

"Gulu~~"

Unfortunately, the protesting belly gave them away.

I have to admit, the fragrant and delicious food is really tempting.

"Eat quickly. I bought a lot. If you don't eat it, it will all spoil. It's a big sin to waste food at will."

The students then took their seats in the lobby on the first floor and opened the special food boxes to enjoy their "breakfast".

Seeing that the students were all eating with gusto, they turned back and walked upstairs. Her figure slowly disappeared on the stairs.

Shirley smiled tenderly, then turned back and walked upstairs under the stunned gazes of everyone.

It wasn't until her figure slowly disappeared on the stairs that everyone woke up.

"Teacher Shirley is so beautiful."

The female students were not in a hurry to eat, but were discussing their instructor's beautiful appearance.

"I'm so envious of her skin, it's always so fair and beautiful."

"Senina, you are still talking about others, but you are obviously the fairest one in the class!"

"Hate."

in the crowd

There are also many young boys who are full of love and are secretly yearning for the beauty of their mentor.

While they were enjoying the food, they were silently recalling the touching smile of Teacher Shirley just now.

It's a coincidence

Just at this time, Vivian headed downstairs with Ron on her head to see why there was a sudden bustle, and bumped into Shirley who was going upstairs.

"Miss Shirley, are you back?"

Vivian greeted Shirley in surprise.

Shirley looked up at the silver-haired girl and the iridescent dragon who turned away silently with a guilty conscience, and the corners of her mouth suddenly turned up in a subtle arc.

"Sorry Vivian, there was a little delay on the way. You must be starving, right?"

"No, no, we just arrived."

Vivian said sheepishly.

In fact, she was also a little hungry.

Shirley enthusiastically stepped forward to hold Vivian's hand and walked to the third floor together.

At the same time, Shirley secretly winked at Ron - how are you going to compensate me for doing bad things to me? .

Ron waved his hand helplessly - it's up to you.

Shirley suddenly became excited and blinked at Ron—this is what you said!

The bright sunlight passed through the window and turned into little beams of light, falling on Vivian and Shirley.

Ron looked at Shirley, who was secretly admiring her, and then at Vivian, who was walking in front with a gentle smile on her face, and suddenly felt a subtle ntr feeling in his heart.

"Speaking of which, there are many true dragon companions. This should be an experiment. Shura fields and the like should not appear, right?"

Ron thought in his mind.

————————

Time reflects the journey, everything is silent.

Faced with the meal Shirley brought back.

Even though Ron had tried to persuade him to eat less, the real meal was at night.

But everyone was obviously hungry, and they ate all the delicious food.

Especially Tina, her stomach was bloating from eating.

"Well, I'm so full~"

Tina patted her belly and said with satisfaction.

Carol sat next to Leona, handed his sister a cup of coffee, and then said with a smile:

"Tina, if you eat like this, can you still eat Lake Vitas fish at night?"

As soon as she heard the name of the ultimate ingredient, Tina jumped up:

"If you can eat it, of course you can eat it!"

"But you just said you were full~"

Ron made a sound in a faint tone.

Tina's face turned red, but she quickly began to behave like a history book:

"Who said Tina is full! Tina can still eat ten lake fish, no problem!"

"Tsk tsk~"

Just when Ron was about to tease the golden dragon girl further, Shirley interrupted curiously.

"Vitas Lake Fish? What is that?"

Only then did everyone realize that Shirley didn't know what happened in the morning.

So they told Shirley in detail about the sixth princess who came to win over her and gave her gifts at the same time.

Shirley frowned, recalling the incident with the eldest prince just now, and couldn't help but murmured:

"I see."

"Has the situation in the King's Selection reached this intense level?"

"The King's Choice? What is that?"

Tina asked curiously.

She had already forgotten about the Twelve Trials. After all, the election rules for the ruler of the human kingdom were just a fun conversation to her and she didn't take it to heart.

"What happened?"

Ron saw Shirley's seriousness and asked.

Shirley didn't hesitate and told everyone what happened just now.

"What! How dare that prince take advantage of you, Shirley?"

Tina became angry when she heard this. Wasn't this threatening her friend?

She immediately took out her little hammer and shouted that she would visit her and treat the eldest prince to some special delicacies that he had never tasted before on the first day of the new year.

But soon she was stopped by everyone.

"Calm down, Tina, calm down."

Shirley hugged Tina's soft body from behind and shouted helplessly.

Everyone also gathered around Tina to comfort each other.

In the audience, only Ron Yilong was still slowly picking up a cup of tea and savoring it slowly.

"Way! Big Selong, are you just going to watch Shirley being bullied by that old man!?"

Tina's hands and feet were restrained, so she had no choice but to hold her head high and shout loudly at Ron.

Ron tilted his head:

"Aren't you going to blow his head off?

"As for me? I'm naturally waiting for the great Miss Golden Dragon Tina to show off her power in the palace~"

As soon as these words came out, Tina suddenly became even more angry:

"Damn it, you heartless guy!"

Everyone in the Castle of Justice also looked at Ron with some confusion.

In their impression, the relationship between Ron and Shirley was still very good, so they wouldn't just sit back and watch, right?

"You big bastard."

"Your courage as a true dragon!"

Ron shook his head and allowed Tina to vent her dissatisfaction.

He flew from above Vivian's head to the window, sipping the fragrant tea in his hand and quietly watching the setting sun.

The great sun was like the rose-red morning light, gradually dyeing the entire west red.

The snow that fell in the past few days is slowly melting under the sunshine, and the wide bluestone road in the capital is also a little muddy.

Until a breeze blew by.

Ron suddenly remembered the poem from his previous life:

"The sunset dyes the sky red, and there is always wind on dreary days."

But soon, along with this breeze.

Thick clouds began to gradually cover up the setting sun.

Until it completely disappears.

The sunset has disappeared

"Tina."

Ron suddenly spoke.

"what!"

Tina, who was sitting aside, turned her head angrily, saying that she was very unhappy now.

"A truly strong person must first learn to control everything about himself, especially his breath and emotions."

Tina frowned. She rarely refuted others so seriously, but this time she couldn't help but said:

"However, Grandpa Bahamut said that as a true dragon, you must follow your inner thoughts and do what you want to do."

Ron nodded:

"Yes, He said so."

Then he spoke slowly, as if he was talking about her and himself.

"But what is the basis for him to say this?"

As his words fell.

Suddenly, a gust of wind roared past, and the biting cold wind was like a sharp blade, beating hard on the window of the tavern, making a "whooshing" sound.

However, a few seconds later, the strong wind suddenly disappeared as if it had never appeared.

It became dead silent outside.

Ron felt something in his heart and looked up at the sky.

Dots of hexagonal ice were slowly falling in the air, like a group of snow elves dancing in the air.

"Snowing."

he muttered.

The second snow of the new year, the heavy snow that farmers have been looking forward to for a long time, has arrived.

The scattered snowflakes are like white gauze, floating over the eaves, covering the green mountains, covering the streets, covering the fields, and covering the ground with white frost.

In the splendid and tall palace.

Brian XVII stood on the first step outside the palace wearing a thin coat.

He looked up at the somewhat dim sky.

"It's snowing."

Little snowflakes fell on his gray hair and blended into one.

I couldn't tell whether the snow dyed his hair white, or whether his hair turned into snow.

Suddenly, a golden-red thick velvet robe was gently draped on the old king's already emaciated shoulders.

"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. It's too cold here. Let's go back quickly."

Chief Mage Quincy's somewhat anxious voice sounded from behind the old king.

"It's Quincy, you're back."

The old king did not look back, still looking at the snowy sky.

The snow is falling heavily, as if it wants to bury the entire sky.

The snow in the north has a long history.

It is a song of wind and snow woven along with the long winter.

When the snowflakes are flying, a season of watching and accumulating energy will come.

When the snow melts into water, the water freezes into ice, and then the snowflakes return to the mountains and fields again, the northern land begins its long journey of hibernation.

"Quincy."

"Your Majesty, I am here."

The old man in black mage robe silently stepped forward and bowed his head in salute.

The old king looked at the lion figure standing vaguely on the top of the palace in the wind and snow, and suddenly asked:

"if."

He paused suddenly and did not say the second half of the sentence.

Finally, the old man shook his head and turned back to the palace.

But his last words still echoed in Quincy's mind.

"Go to Noah and take him away from the royal capital to find a sparsely populated area in the North Wind Plains."

"Remember to ask him before leaving"

"Hurry or else"

After a while, the high-level legendary mage came back to his senses from the old king's inexplicable order.

He took a deep look at the old king's back, finally nodded, turned around and stepped into the magic door.

——————————

Karen Calendar: The last day of the year 7951.

A horrific attack occurred in the royal capital.

The eldest prince Noah Bryan was attacked by a legendary strongman while resting in his private palace.

The prince's personal bodyguard: Mori showed the powerful strength of a high-level legend. He lost the battle with the intruder after half an hour and is currently seriously injured and on the verge of death.

The whereabouts of the kidnapped eldest prince, Noah Bryan, are still unknown.

for a while

The upper-class nobles of the royal capital are all in danger, and the situation is tense.

The eldest prince Noah disappeared, but the martial law in the palace was only lifted for an hour.

This group of upper-class nobles, who are the most well-informed, know exactly what this means.

The eldest prince who was most promising to inherit the throne suddenly disappeared.

Under the chain reaction, the entire royal capital's upper class society began to shake.

The camps of the third prince and sixth princess also stood up, ready to take a bite of plump meat from this "fat" camel.

The entire king was caught in the turbid undercurrent.

But the culprit who caused all this was lying on the soft sofa, looking at the moonlight outside the window and tasting delicious food.

"Come on, come on, everyone, come together, Ron, come here quickly, the filming is about to start!"

In the hall of the Castle of Justice

Vivian, Tina, Shirley, Carol, Setsuna, Hermione and Leona who were invited gathered together,

They were holding up the photo stones to greet Ron.

Influenced by the past life movie taught by Ron, Shirley suggested that everyone take a group photo on New Year's Eve.

This novel proposal has been unanimously recognized by everyone.

Now everyone has found their positions and assumed their respective poses.

Everyone also thoughtfully left a place in the middle for Ron, while Shirley was adjusting the angle of the image stone.

"Coming~"
