Drowning in the Gentle Country [Western Fantasy]

"I'll come," said Iviedo.He pursed his lower lip tightly, his body was tense, and he looked at the dragon frankly, his blue eyes were full of anger.

Standing beside the dragon, he confronted the dragon and the "Dragon Knight" on its back, his attitude was extremely firm, and there was no hesitation or flinch in his eyes.

Sidi, who turned into Wilt's appearance, was at a loss, and he couldn't speak the language with Ivedo, so he could only walk back and forth between him and the dragon, anxiously wishing he could faint. He kept asking Will silently in his heart. Special, ask him to give an explanation quickly!

But the giant dragon has never made a sound, and the skillful use of spiritual magic just now seems to be a decoration.He raised his head, his eyes as tall as a man looked down at Iviedo, his erect forelimbs seemed to be in a posture of preparing for battle, and even showed extremely sharp fangs.The long stalemate made the dumbfounded crowd react, and the crowd booed and whispered, and they were surprised by Ivedo's actions.

Ivydo's figure is thin and thin, like a slender but hard-to-break reed. The hand holding the God of War's spear is so strong that blue veins appear on the back of the hand, which also covers up the extremely subtle trembling of the body. A clearly fragile yet indestructible appearance——

Yes, fragile, the dragon thought, he was still panicking and afraid of me, why did he do this?

Is it for revenge?Where did his anger come from?

"... Ivydo," the dragon said, his voice came directly into Ivydo's mind, sounding low and vicissitudes, "do you know the reason and meaning of what I did?"

His previous silence and posture of preparing for battle were terrifying, and Sidi held his chest in fear, and kept retreating sideways. Only Ivydo faced his menacing eyes, even as if he was resisting. He took a step forward, then shook his head suddenly and weakly.

"I... I don't know, and I don't think you will be willing to say it." Iviedo said softly, neither having the confidence nor the confidence to convince Wilt, but he still said slowly like a memory , "Most of the things I preach are evil deeds, but there are always sacrifices in the things I keep silent. I... don't want you to bear it alone."

This answer was completely unexpected by Wilt. In his impression, Iviedo always used silence to avoid talking, retreated to face questioning, and was extremely unwilling to open his heart—even after revealing his identity as a demon.He thought that under the shock of being unprepared, Iviedo, who was afraid of his appearance, would stay away and suffer, and even the relationship that had finally been temporarily eased would return to that day...

But Iviedo walked towards him, overcoming the trembling in his soul, it can be said that he looked straight into his eyes bravely, but his tense body never relaxed.

Was it an accident, or a surprise?The giant dragon thought lightly, he felt that the pain on his back could not be felt.

"...Okay." said the giant dragon, slowly bending its forelegs, its huge body lay down again, and the wings that were several people wide drooped down, revealing the cracked amethyst on its back.

Ivydo's palms secreted greasy sweat, which made him clenched the God of War spear even more reflexively. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, climbed up the thick wings used as stairs, and then I was stunned when I saw the crystal covered with broken textures more clearly at the nearest place.

Iviedo stroked his hands uncontrollably. Every trace of the lines became more vivid under the touch of his fingertips. It was the honor of honor and victory, but it was also a symbol of pain and weakness—representing the one that had been lingering in his heart for a long time. The purple shade is not fear itself...he gets hurt and lost too, he's not invincible.

At that moment, Iviedo suddenly stopped his slight trembling and became extremely calm, as if he had pulled out a thorn in his heart. The nightmare that he always resisted and could not let go disappeared with the wind. The devastation is the reality he is in contact with.

The sudden force that surged up from his body made Ivydo's fingers holding the spear of the god of war turn bloodless, and all the anxiety and fear turned into composure after calming down. "Knight" poked the center of the amethyst's crack more quickly and accurately.

The extremely crisp cracking sound penetrated the entire Tatari fruit forest and echoed into the distance, and no other sound could be heard between heaven and earth.

Most of the amethyst on the dragon's broad back was broken into small pieces of crumbs under the attack of the spear, and fell in all directions like snowflakes. At the moment of landing, a circle of hedges that seemed to have cast a large magic appeared around the dragon. The aftermath, conspicuous and full of vitality, quickly spread out!Circle after circle, round after round, it was running endlessly, and the dry grass was like a sea of ​​violet flowers.

The crowd bent down to touch it in amazement and curiosity, and the circle of purple light wave disappeared after a short stop at the fingertips. They whispered in amazement, and when the endless circle of light finally stopped, the purple dragon guarding Tatari Town did not know what to do. Time changed back to its original appearance.

——Sidi waved his wings awkwardly and flew behind his dragon knight, as if he had consumed too much power and needed to continue to be translated by the "spokesperson".

But Wilt's face turned even paler.Although he still has a calm expression, he is still serious and arrogant as usual, with his hands casually resting on the shoulders of Ivydo beside him, but the corners of his forehead are covered with condensed sweat, even if everyone's eyes are on him, there is no Say a word.

Iviedo felt the strength on his shoulders, and the calmness and composure at that time didn't work together, and he couldn't even turn around to confirm Wilt's state.Wilt did not want to explain the reason and significance of his doing so, but the moment the amethyst shattered and fell into the land of Tatari Town, Iviedo felt the majestic vitality inside—it was so obvious, It doesn't take much magic power, even the youngest trainee priest in the temple can sense it.

But Iviedo is more aware of one thing. This strong breath of life does not come from the devout holy light or the belief of gods, but the most essential and simple life contract he used to treat Grandma Susan's illness.

...He spread out such a huge life force, not even people or monsters, but the land.

It took too long for Ivydo to forget the characteristics of the dragon species that he was not familiar with, but fortunately, he recorded them in words earlier, especially after that incident, he always repeatedly consulted about the characteristics of the Amethyst Dragon. chapters.

——It is a weapon, it is also a defense device, it is the source of magic power, and it is also the source of life.

The gazes below are still eager and concerned, whether they are concerned about the body of "Master Sidi" or looking forward to the words of the God of War Wilt, they are all so fiery and earnest that people cannot be silent.

"So..." Ivydo's first syllable was quite slight, but then he raised his voice, "Everyone has seen the determination of Master Sidi."

"...He will protect the land and people of Tatari Town, whether in life or after death, he will exist forever like 'Sidiguo'. And Wilt and...me, too."

He struggled to end this sudden incident, and couldn't help turning his eyes to Mayor Barton, hoping that he would solve the next thing, but the hand on his shoulder suddenly exerted force and turned his body come over.

Iviedo didn't dare to raise his head, and looked down at Wilt's chin, but Wilt's heavy snort because of pain kept covering his face, which was warm and moist, and his cheeks were so hot that they rolled out of temperature.I don't know how long this posture lasted, maybe only a second. Iviedo couldn't hide his inner concern, and raised his eyes quickly and panicked.

——That demeanor is just like Wilt's appearance when he saw him for the first time.

Wilt grabbed his slender waist, pressed him in front of him, and pressed against the back of his neck, his soft lips and smooth tongue slipped past the tip of his teeth, exchanging saliva It was too late to swallow, and slid down the gap to the bulge of Adam's apple.After struggling slightly, Iviedo fell completely into Wilt's arms, subconsciously raised his feet to meet the suffocating deep kiss, and his moist and hot mouth was completely occupied by plunder.

"Uh, uh..." At the moment before he was dizzy due to severe hypoxia, Wilt finally let go of him, staring at Iviedo with eyes as bright as stars, showing an extremely rare smile.

Iviedo took a half step back in a panic, the breath of the other party was still deeply retained between his lips and teeth, the domineering and intense touch was firmly engraved in the depths of his mind, making him unable to hide, his pale face was stained Thin layers of red, messy long hair, moist lips, and hot body, adding to her amazing beauty infinitely.

Iviedo recovered from his severe panting, and glanced sideways. The hundreds of Tatari townspeople who came to participate in the god-giving ceremony were all stunned, clutching the clothes of the people around them tightly to relieve the stimulus they received. , his hands and feet were weak and his throat was dry, trying to make himself less panicked.

Sidi flew behind him silently like a ghost, her short front paws tugged on his sleeves and swayed. With a low cry, Wilt reached out and slapped the paws off.

"Sidi, you have to get used to it," Wilt said, before explaining to Iviedo humorously, "He doesn't think it's a good influence on children."

Wilt's voice was neither low nor soft, and some people standing in the front row could hear it clearly, so he deliberately blurred the context, "to children" instead of "to young dragons".Iviedo nodded in embarrassment, and couldn't help but quietly looked at the expressions of the townspeople in the crowd.

Aunt Fanny burst into tears, Mr. Tudge wiped his eyes silently, the Jones family hugged and kissed each other tightly, Pandello sat on his father's neck and waved to this side, little Helen covered her eyes shyly, Mayor Barton's reaction was the most exaggerated , turned his head and hit the tree with a painful face.

Their demeanor and actions are different, but they never look angry or furious. They always maintain a happy and supportive attitude towards the opinions of God of War, no matter whether it is different from traditional gender concepts-this makes Ivydo less uneasy many.

He hurriedly glanced over the faces that he had met several times before, and was about to look away, but his heart suddenly tightened—he seemed to have a different impression of the blurred faces that swept past in the corner of his vision, It happened in the blink of an eye, and Iviedo was waiting to recover when he heard someone calling his name.

"Master Iviedo?"

Iviedo was stunned, "No need to add honorifics..." He suppressed the inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, and looked at the person who called him.

That was one of the priests standing in the front row listening on behalf of the gods—the priest of the Harvest God, Leo.

Leo is also the only son of Mr. Tachi, he is still young and has little experience. Compared with the other two priests who can calm down no matter what happens, he is quite shy, even though he has talked with Iviedo before the ceremony After a while, speaking at this time is still not very smooth.

"I would like to take the liberty to ask..." He scratched his cheek a little embarrassedly, looking like a big boy, "How did you and Lord Wilt meet?"

"Oh——" The young people in the crowd made ambiguous noises, but the middle-aged man like Mr. Tachi covered his forehead anxiously, as if he had offended the God of War.

But Wilt seemed to be in a good mood, at least he didn't interrupt the refusal arrogantly. He looked at Iviedo encouragingly, looking forward to his answer.

However, Iviedo was only stunned for a while, then shook his head apologetically: "The God of Harvest won't want to listen."

"Oh... God, I'm sorry!" Leo apologized guiltily, and only then did he realize his identity. He is not only a resident of Tatari Town who warmly cares about his neighbors, but now he is also a priest representing the God of Harvest. The timing and occasion are all wrong. !

Wilt didn't care about Leo's rudeness. On the contrary, he was a little disappointed that he didn't hear Ivydo's answer, but he also knew that the priests respected their gods.In such a god-giving ceremony, what he did just now has completely deviated from the theme. Even if the two priests other than Leo did not say anything, they would not agree with this "deviation" to continue.

So he called Mayor Barton over, and left Lord Sidi who had just "issued a grand declaration and restored his real body" in the middle, and stepped aside with himself and Iviedo.

He stopped Iviedo's shoulders and walked towards a place where there was almost no one. Iviedo was obedient and quiet, without any resistance, but suddenly turned his head and glanced into the dense crowd.
