feed on dragons

The group of people who set off to Olson to participate in the summit will first gather at the north gate of Wangcheng, and then set off in the convoy of the imperial palace.Considering Julian's situation, the eldest prince sent a carriage to pick him up at the school gate.Hal looked at the carriage and frowned in displeasure. Julian glanced at the height of the red dragon, then at the size of the carriage, pursed his lips, and suppressed the urge to laugh.

"I'll be there soon."

In the end Hal just said that to him and left.Julian jumped into the carriage with his suitcase in his hand. After the driver confirmed his identity, the carriage drove towards the palace.

The college is about an hour's drive from the palace.Along the way, Julian hugged his small suitcase and occasionally looked out the window, but most of the time he sat upright silently and primly.He was really nervous, whether it was about going on a long journey with so many prominent people, or meeting the prince with Hal.Before last night, it must be the former, but now, he is not sure, it seems that the latter is more of a factor.

Today's Wangcheng North Gate is much more lively than usual because of the motorcade.Horse-drawn carriages lined up, many attendants were busy loading bags of goods onto the carts, and the drivers chatted while calming the horses.The eldest prince Yaqibel was talking with his close black-haired attendants, and the mages in robes were accompanied by their assistants and disciples. This battle made many passing people dumbfounded.

"Julian!"

Just as Julian jumped out of the carriage, he saw Dai Ning running towards him, "You're finally here, come here, this way!"

"Ah? Ah?" Julian was dragged away by his friend before he could stand still, and Dai Ning dragged him in front of someone before he finally stopped.Panting for breath, the young man pushed Julian forward who didn't know what happened, and said excitedly, "Father, this is the one I said before, Julian!"

"Ah..." Julian looked at the serious man in front of him, and then he came back to his senses, and quickly saluted. "My lord duke!"

"It's okay, you are Dai Ning's friend, so you don't need so much courtesy." The man motioned him to raise his head, and stared at him for a while before saying, "You are Julian. The dog often mentions your affairs."

"Yes, I'm Julian."

Looking at the unsmiling Duke Herren, Julian felt a little embarrassed.Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit delicate, Dai Lun patted him on the shoulder vigorously as if mediating, and said, "Don't be so nervous, father won't eat you. Father, he is really powerful, probably because I think that in this school The most powerful person! And he..."

"Yes, I've heard you say it several times." When the Duke looked at his son, his eyes finally softened. "He is an orphan, born in a poor family, but he is a very hard-working genius. I will recite it."

"hey-hey."

Dai Ning embarrassedly scratched the back of his head.

"Although you came from a poor background, I also heard that you seem to have a mysterious patron." The man turned his gaze to Julian again, "Who is that adult with a precise vision?"

Julian opened his mouth, and Dai Ning next to him was a little surprised: "Father! Didn't you say you don't ask?"

"It's just a sponsor, isn't it something that needs to be concealed?" Duke Herren glared at his son, "Besides, the one who has such financial resources should be some adult we all know. You and Julian It’s so good, is it reasonable not to say hello?”

"This..." Julian secretly looked around to find Hal, and replied cautiously: "Yes, it is indeed not something that needs to be concealed. But my sponsor is relatively low-key, and...not aristocratic, so I I don’t know if the Duke recognizes him or not…”

"It doesn't matter. It's great if we know each other. If we don't, it's also a good opportunity." Duke Heron said, "Seeing you keep looking around, is that lord coming today?"

"Well...in theory..." Julian hesitated.He said he was coming, but I don't know when it will come...

Just when he was a little panicked and didn't know how to continue to deal with it, a voice that Julian was all too familiar with suddenly came from behind him.

"Julian's patron is me."

The boy turned his head quickly, and the tall figure of the red dragon appeared behind him at some point.

"Lord Hal!" he exclaimed in surprise.

"Yeah." Hal snorted, looked straight at Duke Heron, and said, "Hello. Just call me Hal."

Many people standing nearby couldn't help looking in their direction.With the appearance of the red-haired youth, a strange pressure suddenly appeared in the whole space.An uneasy sense of awe lingered in everyone's hearts. People with stronger psychological qualities could still look in that direction twice to figure out what happened, but more often their legs and feet were weak and they were covered in cold sweat until they left a certain distance. , to feel better.

It was, of course, Hal's masterpiece.As a race bred by heaven and earth, dragons can almost be said to stand at the top of the entire continent in terms of soul generation, and their status can be compared with gods.Of course, he could completely put away his dragon pressure and pretend to be an ordinary person like Dylan, but he didn't do it.Dragon pressure works very well, especially on humans, and Hal knows this very well.

"You... hello."

Duke Heron was confused for a while by the sudden appearance of the man and the pressure brought by him, and he managed to calm down before reluctantly responding.In terms of general etiquette, the two of them should shake hands at this time, but he had no such idea at all.Shake hands with this man?Instinct told him it was a stupid idea.

This man's name is Hal?Last name?Never heard of it!

As a duke, and quite an influential duke among the nobles, Heron thought that even if he had never had contact with important people in this country, he should know about them.According to what Dai Ning mentioned to him every time, although Julian was an orphan, he was admitted to the Elite Research Institute at the age of 16, and the clothes he used were above-grade, and his life was not lacking...just this, It will let him screen out a vote of people.You must know that the Elite Research Institute is actually very expensive. In addition to the expensive tuition fees, the cost of teaching materials is also very high. Consumables such as pens and inks must also be purchased specially, and the price is several times that of ordinary products.If you pay more attention, some people will start raising their own magic props when they are apprentices, and the price is even more difficult to say.

When listening to his son tell about Julian, Duke Herron, who has been in the aristocratic circle for so many years, has already listed several candidates in his mind who may be sponsors. When he saw Julian just now, he The list in my mind has changed a little bit.However, the man who appeared in the end was completely unexpected, and he appeared with such a strong aura, which made him a little at a loss.

Duke Heron didn't intend to do anything to Julian, but at least he wanted to know the details of the friend his son valued so much, but he didn't expect that Julian looked shallow, but when he touched it, it turned out to be a deep pool, far beyond his depths. imagine.

The only person present who was okay was Julian.Having lived with Hal for so long, this bit of pressure was not a problem at all. In fact, he didn't feel it at all, and he didn't notice any abnormalities in the crowd. He was only excited for Hal's arrival.The young man happily introduced the two people in front of him to Hal, ""Lord Hal, this is Duke Harren, the father of this Daining Heron."

"Oh."

Hal nodded proudly, indicating that he understood. "Your name is Dai Ning? Julian has been taken care of by you at school."

Hearing this sentence, Julian couldn't help showing a surprised expression. The words "Thank you for taking care of me" coming out of his mouth are so weird!It turns out that this dragon still knows a little bit of human social rhetoric!

"Ah, uh..." Dai Ning had already been stupefied by the dragon pressure deliberately released by the red dragon. It wasn't until Hal talked to him that the boy suddenly woke up, "You... hello! It's nothing, that... we usually It's... uh... taking care of each other!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Dai Ning wanted to slap himself.What about taking care of each other!What are you taking care of!What nonsense!

"Where is Azibel?"

It sounded silly, but Hal didn't care.He just wanted to find the prince, explain what he wanted to explain, and then go home.

"This, I, I just arrived too..."

Hearing the words of Yaqibeier, Julian couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.Although he knew that Hal was absolutely qualified to call the First Prince by his first name, but after all, it was in front of Duke Heron, it was... simply too...

He sneaked a glance at Duke Heron. The man pursed his lips, his face was a little pale, and he didn't seem to have any special reaction to Hal's address just now.Julian breathed a sigh of relief.

"The words of His Royal Highness..."

Dai Ning mechanically turned around and looked behind him, "Over there just now...ah!"

Just as he was trying to find the figure of the prince, he did not expect that the eldest prince had already noticed the commotion here and came over.

"Julian has arrived? You should come and tell me first..." Azibel was a little displeased when he found that Julian had arrived but did not come to inform him; he originally wanted to warn the impolite child, but when he left When he came over and saw Hal standing beside Julian, the eldest prince was so shocked that his mind went blank for an instant, and he forgot all he wanted to say.

"Oh, you came here by yourself, Yaqibel, saving me the trouble of finding you." Hal said.The attitude was almost like chatting with the neighbors.
