17. Alfheim (IV)

Just as he was about to spit out the groove, the wall formed by the elves automatically opened a passage, and the boy in black uniform walked towards Li Lin with generous steps. The meticulous figure and respectful stride were clearly the result of rigorous training, looking at the black uniform and black leather boots that reflected a strange light from time to time. Roland suddenly thought that the boy could be a distant relative of Li Lin, or even a blood relative such as a younger brother? From the two guys in military uniforms, they couldn't feel the atmosphere of family at all, and some only had a sense of belonging and identity that was almost a master and servant.

The sun was approaching early autumn with a hint of summer heat, and Roland, the people of the northern snow country, couldn't stand the tired hot sun, and couldn't help but take a few steps back and hide in the shadows.

For the entrance to the city, the carriages mostly dismantled the pergola. Only Roland and the medical carriage they were riding in did not remove the tarp for the sake of taking care of the child, and Roland, who hid in the cool area, spit out a boring sigh and wanted to mumble something, but the scene he had only heard in the story shocked the boy.

The boy in the uniform of the guards walked up to Li Lin, he did not raise his hand to salute like Brunhill and the others, the boy bent down and knelt on his right knee. Respectfully and reverently bowed to Li Lin.

It was a courtesy to the lord of his courtesy.

In the blink of an eye, the sweet floral fragrance scattered with the wind, and the elves scattered the passage left behind - the avenue where 2~3 carriages could walk side by side was already occupied by a winged black dragon.

The jet-black scales reflected the metallic light in the sunlight, and the hard scales shaped like chain mail were draped in golden sand. It has crown-like horns on its towering head and its wings folded behind it. The bat-like wings of flesh have a terrifying color similar to that of a bloodstain after it has dried up, and even before it is unfolded, the audience can feel the tyrannical atmosphere.

"Dragon...... That's a dragon. ”

Glancing at the eyes with an amber background and a slender black crack in the middle, Caspar groaned and felt his body go limp. Roland was also speechless, he had seen the fossils of the same kind of creatures in the Asgard Mountains, and he had a certain idea of the body outline and huge size of that species, but when the authentic, flesh-and-blood ancient dragon clan appeared in front of him, his mind and strength were all taken away by the majesty of the black dragon. All that was left was a dumb expression.

"Captain of the Guard, Lieutenant Colonel Nidhogg. Loyal to Lord Li Lin and protect the ancient species of Alfheim. There is no one who can pass the trial of looking at the dragon and become a member of the glorious pro-guard. ”

Smug tones interjected from the side, and the boys, who had not yet fully recovered from the shock and trance brought by the ancient dragon, turned their rigid expressions, and the side faces of Tyr with a sigh and a wry smile made them understand. This is a tribute to the Suitable Underestimation of the Guards.

Unable to understand Tyr's motives for being sarcastic, Roland pouted inwardly.

Li Lin called it, Brunhill described it as , and Roland used it to evaluate Tyre's looming wariness along the way.

Even if you want to know that because of the complicated relationship between your own race and Li Lin, this elven officer will never put on a good face to herself, but understanding and accepting it are completely different things.

In the midst of a whirlpool of contradictions. But I don't know what to do with it. Just by sticking to the values and goals in his heart, and not being overwhelmed by external things again and again, he has done his best. Not knowing what to do next, and in the frustration of cluelessness, the dissatisfaction with Tyr was also muffled by that confusion.

Roland still couldn't let go of Li Lin's affairs. But his ideals did not accept any justification or correction, and they were hopelessly overlapped with that reliable back.

Recalling the point of view that Li Lin had taught him, the boy endured the hollowness and sourness in his chest and clenched his fists.

##############

The suspicion of almost resentment stirred up an inexplicable sour taste in the black dragon's brain, and the thought of an untimely guy breaking into Li Lin's daily life, disrupting the wonderful rhythm and bringing uncertain possibilities or potential dangers to the future, Nidhogg was a little angry.

Like a half-aged who is fed up with anger, she unreasonably pushes her dissatisfaction with the status quo and all her mistakes to the newcomer who takes her place. The young dragons, influenced by the bad feelings, label the chestnut-haired boy in the distance as derogatory.

If Roland is the crystallization of Li Lintong Guò after having a relationship with a certain woman, it is a child who has inherited great blood and ambitions, Nidhogg will consciously worship him as a young master, and offer absolute loyalty with the etiquette and obligations that his subordinates should have towards the young master.

There is no blood relationship between Roland Dahl and Li Lin, this human child was just picked up and adopted like a stray wild cat on the side of the road. He did not inherit the bloodline of the colonel's lofty ideals, but was just a man who needed to be picked up for the sake of politics, and would bring trouble to the owner from time to time.

"Nied Hogg. ”

The evil thoughts of sour air and sparks were suddenly blocked, and the crisp and majestic call occupied the thinking of fulfilling the loyalty of the courtiers. The black dragon crouched on the ground, listening to the voice of the lord with all his body and soul.

As long as Li Lin gives an order, whether it is to slaughter the inhabitants of a city or to bring disaster to a country, Nidhogg will not ask and will do his best to carry it out.

"Lieutenant Colonel Nidhogg, take my guardian with you, and let's go into the city. ”

Eyebrows raised, Li Lin said happily.

The slit-like pupils shrank, and the black dragon craned his neck and hung his head. Behind the Lord's upper spine, he paced down the avenue to the medical carriage with a dexterous movement that could not be connected to the huge body, repeating Shicai's bowing motion again.

"Come on, Roland, there's something for you to see. ”

The black-haired and red-eyed adoptive father stretched out his hand, and the ignorant boy raised his head to look at the young man's gaze.

Although he was overwhelmed by Long Wei and was unable to react in time, he still barely made a stiff expression.

"There's a girl watching, come up quickly. ”

Li Lin raised his voice slightly, and his lips drew an ambiguous arc, as if to say, the provocation focused the elves' eyes on the boy, and the boy who was ignited with the fire of impulse climbed up Nidhogg with his hands and feet, and straddled Li Lin in front of him.

PS: Guess the small theater

Nidhogg: Oh ho, I'm finally back!

Li Lin: It's no problem for you to come back, why does it feel at least three laps bigger, and this bear-like muscle is swollen?

Nidhogg: Ahh So it comes with its own transformation attribute, and can it transform twice?

Li Lin: Should I really give you a shockwave...... Yesterday's winners were 、、、、 five, congratulations!

Nidhogg: Today's questions are: 1. Where did the armbands of the Sword and Shield of the Guards come from? Hint: Brother Lucia of the SS 2. In a flash, he pointed at the enemy and said, the other party asked rhetorically and then let out a wail before death, and then his head swelled and exploded and died--where does this stalk come from?
