Forced to become a delicate companion of a paranoid lord

For the Parasau people, snow is pure and sacred, but also cruel and merciless.

There are many mythological stories recorded in the classics of the Parasau people. The one that Nico often heard when he was a child was that in the ancient Lar continent, the snowfields in the far north were the only unpolluted pure land.

In the years before the gods had mercy on the world, the barren land of the Tajiyama Snowfield had never grown any food that would make people sick. The ancestors of the Paraso people relied on these scarce but clean foods to keep their tribe going.

The ancestors of the Parasau people believed that the pure white ice and snow could block disease and filth, so they feared the severe cold in winter, but at the same time they believed in every piece of snow in the far north from the bottom of their hearts.

Before Nayasos bestowed "power" on the ancestors of the Parasau people, snow was the only belief of the Parasau people.

Although not all Parasau people can read and write, almost every Parasau person grew up listening to various legends.

In Nico's childhood memories, the winter in the Far North was always accompanied by cold and hunger, but he did not find it unbearable because during the long seven months when he could only stay in the felt tent, he and other friends could hear a new story from the priest every day.

Priests can tell stories about monsters, stories about warriors, stories about adventurers, stories about goddesses, and stories about dragons.

Unlike the dragon clan, which are servants of the gods, dragons are guardian beasts of the people.

In the stories of the old priests, the guardian beast of the snowfield is a giant dragon with white wings and silver-blue scales. The ancestors called it the Frost Dragon.

According to legend, if a frost dragon is born in the spring, a heavy snow will fall in the Far North like in winter.

And this snow will disappear at sunrise the next day after washing away all the disasters in the world.

Some dead monsters will turn into ashes and dissipate in the wind like burnt wood, but they will leave behind some monster materials with magical properties. These monster materials cannot be used directly and must be taken to the temple and placed in a special pool in the temple and soaked in clean pool water for a month.

Because there is "miasma" on monsters and monster materials, and "miasma" is filthy, if people are contaminated by "miasma", they will get sick, and in serious cases, they may even die.

As the snowflakes fell, the miasma on the monster materials scattered on the ground gradually disappeared, and the miasma that originally shrouded the sky above the Far North Territory also began to dissipate.

The red moon still hangs high in the night sky, but it no longer makes people feel suffocated and depressed.

Nico held the wand in his hand, which was shaking slightly due to excessive magic replenishment, and placed it diagonally across his chest. He compressed the remaining magic power into a fire blasting magic, and after releasing the final blow to the blood-colored barrier, he let himself fall from mid-air into the pool in the castle courtyard.

When he was fished out of the pool by his subordinates, Nico, who had rarely experienced cold weather since he was an adult because of his affinity with fire magic elements, hunched his shoulders and asked weakly: "How is the barrier on the terrace?"

"It feels a lot thinner than before. Boss, you helped a lot just now." The young magician reported as he dragged Nico into the building.

"Really? Then I feel relieved..."

Nico lay on his back and let his subordinates drag him like a monster. After reaching out to catch a few snowflakes, he muttered, "Little guy, remember to find a warm place for me to lie down..."

Then, before his subordinates could reply, he lost consciousness.

After Nico and Rafa's continuous attacks, Kaouhede's domain barrier did become thinner, and Xie Wei also discovered this. At this time, he had just finished analyzing Kaouhede's mental magic.

Without hesitation, he quickly constructed the analysis magic, and the light green magic power formed magic rune patterns at the position where the Paraso warrior was standing. Then the guards on the terrace gradually regained their senses.

After seeing the situation on the terrace clearly, everyone drew their swords at their waists in unison.

"Protect His Highness!"

Following the leader's order, the battle situation on the terrace reversed rapidly. Before Xie Wei could react, a heavy cloak was thrown over him.

When Xie Wei saw the person who put the cloak on him, his amber-gold eyes widened slightly. He looked at the magician standing next to him with some surprise and said in disbelief: "Mr. Rafa, why are you here!"

Rafa's expression was equally shocked. He looked at Xie Wei's face and did not answer Xie Wei's words. Instead, he raised his hand and released a defensive barrier that wrapped up Xie Wei completely. Then, with a gloomy face, he joined the team besieging Kaouhede.

Gesang and his men who arrived shortly afterwards surrounded Xie Wei, who was protected by them as he walked towards the bedroom holding the dragon egg. Kaouhe could no longer cast mental magic in a short period of time, and after being besieged by the Paraso warriors and several magicians brought by Rafa, he was at a disadvantage for a while.

The domain barrier was completely shattered after one of Kaouhede's heads was chopped off, but it also made Kaouhede even more irritable.

Before Xie Wei could retreat back to the bedroom, the door leading to the bedroom was blocked by a sudden earth wall. Turning around, he looked at the huge monster that had spread its bone wings and flew away from the terrace. The strange voice appeared in Xie Wei's ears again.

【Young Dragon】

【flesh】

【Body】

【Seize】

Xie Wei deciphered these words from the strange language. He looked directly into the monster's blood-red vertical pupils, frowned slightly, and then replied in the same language.

【This is my dragon. 】

The dragon scales on his chest did not feel as hot as before, but the dragon egg in his arms felt hot after the last syllable of this sentence was uttered.

It shattered with a "crackling" sound.

The soft silver-blue light reflected on Xie Wei's exquisite face, causing him to look down at the dragon egg in his arms, and then he met a pair of ice-blue round eyes.

The little fellow with a pair of silver-white dragon horns and half of his head exposed glanced at Xie Wei and then began to gnaw on the eggshell.

It didn't seem to be affected by the atmosphere of the environment it was in. It gnawed its eggshell very calmly and comfortably, taking a break after taking a few bites.

Kaouhed, hovering above the castle, let out a high-pitched roar, and its remaining five heads simultaneously released magic to attack the humans who were blocking it. Because of the roar, dense swarms of flying monsters gathered outside the castle's protective barrier again.

Xie Wei looked at the flying monsters outside the defensive magic circle. The number of them made him feel a little creepy. There were so many monsters outside the castle, so Sal and his team would need to block even more monsters.

Thinking of this, Xie Wei became a little anxious, but Kaouhede no longer communicated with him, and the language he spoke was no longer intimidating to him.

While Xie Wei was thinking about how to deal with Kaohed and strengthen the defensive magic circle, most of the dragon eggs in his arms had been eaten.

I don’t know if it was because of the strength gained from eating the eggshell, but the little guy in the eggshell climbed along Xie Wei’s clothes and onto his neck. The little guy that had just broken out of the shell was still a little sticky, and its scales and claws were not very sharp yet. After resting for a while on Xie Wei’s neck, the little guy climbed along Xie Wei’s hair and onto the top of Xie Wei’s head.

It was still small and just fit perfectly above Xie Wei's head.

Gesang and the others looked at this little thing that was emitting a sacred light and did not dare to stop any of its actions. Xie Wei, who was thinking, did not notice what the little guy was doing.

Standing on top of Xie Wei's head, the cub, which was not even as big as a palm, was not afraid at all of the huge monster that was staring at it. It spread its thin wings, tilted its neck and let out a roar at Kaouhede that was completely inconsistent with its size.

Xie Wei was startled by the thunder-like roar above his head, and the others were also shaken by the sudden roar.

The giant flying monster, which was originally very aggressive, quickly flew away from the terrace. It stuck to the protective barrier, as if it wanted to leave this place, and began to tear the protective barrier without looking back.

The flying monsters that were originally crowded outside the protective barrier also dispersed completely.

Everyone looked up at Kaohede who was abandoned by the group of monsters, and then quietly looked at the little cub who had just hatched from the shell. He looked beautiful and cute, but was extremely ferocious when he roared. The Paraso warriors, who didn't know what to say for a moment, collectively recited a prayer silently. After reciting the prayer, their eyes hidden in the shadows became brighter than each other.

In the stories passed down from generation to generation by the Parasau people, the birth of the Frost Dragon means that the gods have bestowed blessings, and everyone who has seen the Frost Dragon will be blessed with good luck.

Gesang and his guards did not show anything unusual, but if you look closely, you will find that except for Rafa, the magician from the empire, and Xie Wei who lacks common sense, the rest of the people on the terrace cannot control the upward curve of their lips.

Xie Wei rubbed his ears and put the little guy on his head who was still whispering "hiss ha ha". For some reason, he could understand what the little thing was saying.

The little thing on top of my head was saying, "Xie Wei, it wants to eat me, I'm going to bite it to death."

The voice is childish but the emotions are stable.

Xie Wei looked at the others and found that Gesang and the others were staring at the top of his head with shining eyes, as if they were looking at some treasure.

That's OK.

He was the only one who could understand what the little thing above his head was saying.
