Chapter 145 Unsaleable
Although it is not the front page headline, David's full-body tattoo of a red dragon with a ferocious sneer in it also occupies almost an entire page:
It was even accompanied by a shocking bright red headline:
[Son of Crimson Calamity——Arrived at Devensel]
"According to feedback from enthusiastic citizens of Devensere, a peculiar red dragon was seen outside the city of Devensere on the 15th of last month. It is suspected to be the descendant of the Red Calamity Pavla. Please be careful when traveling in the near future. If If you encounter a red dragon unfortunately, you must protect your own safety, remain restrained and calm, and wait for the Sheriff to come to the rescue.”
"." After Father Long muttered this big-character poster, David and his son, who were just about to get started, looked at each other.
For a moment, I didn't know whether the information from the high elves was delayed or rapid.
After all, it was more than a year ago since David 'Long Gong' blew up the Spider Nest City, and at that time there were no rumors in Seorus City.
So much so that David, who thought he would be honored to be on the New World's "Top Ten Outstanding Youth List", was looking forward to it in vain.
After so long, he just showed up outside the city yesterday and was recognized by those elves?
Damn it, could it be that they were discovered stealing century-old fragrant fruit seeds?
David carefully glanced at the news page, which was less than a hundred words long, and did not mention this.
David, who always felt that he had such a strange sense of sight, immediately smacked his lips and said:
"Okay, why don't you put this hot search aside to divert the conflict?"
Isn't this the usual method used by the capitalists in the previous life to spend money to buy headlines to divert public attention and public opinion?
"What?" Even though she was used to her son always coming up with some concise and abstract words, Artilicia still didn't understand it very well this time.
"What are you talking about, brother?" Tanya, who was prepared to admire the frightened expressions of her brother and father, was suddenly disappointed. However, facing the novel description proposed by her brother, she immediately absorbed new knowledge like a curious baby.
At this time, Salena, who was eating a whole beef dish with a large plate of cold meat, also saw the newspaper page spread out in Artilisia's hand after hearing this, and felt a little funny.
Isn't this the red dragon portrait she hand-painted at the Elf Military Headquarters last month? It was only taken out at this time.
Combining the context, I immediately understood what David meant by ‘hot search’, and immediately explained mockingly:
"What else could it be? Neighbors have recently been complaining about the Navy's abolition and the increasing security risks. They are just trying to take advantage of the reputation of this red son of disaster."
In the middle of speaking, Salina suddenly froze as if in hindsight, and said to herself:
"Son of Crimson Calamity?"
"Pavla's child?"
"That's not it."
Isn’t that also Atilicia’s child? ? ?
She turned her head sharply, looked at the three members of David's family with different expressions like half a family portrait, and suddenly covered her mouth:
"Sorry, Artilicia. I didn't mean it."
Artilicia, who was also mentioned in this way by Salena, also belatedly pretended to sigh with a heavy and sad expression:
"It's okay, I already knew it. I even met him once when I was in the Dark Territory. Coincidentally, if he hadn't blown up the Spider Nest City in anger, I wouldn't have even had the chance to escape. come out."
After all, at the beginning, he had also imagined that David had such a red dragon brother who was behind the scenes to manipulate and steal his [Sobriety Potion] formula.
The name he registered for David at the Devonsere Town Hall was David Eutus.
After all, it is just one of the surnames, just like the elves named Elizabeth and Evgeny. If you yell in the street, a dozen underage elves will probably turn around.
The same is true for dragons, especially five-color dragons. Those who can successfully survive to adulthood despite such an abnormal mortality rate have probably already made a name for themselves, such as Pavla's Crimson Disaster.
But there are exceptions to everything. There were once two black dragon brothers. Even in their old age, they still used the same 'name' and the same title. They committed robberies and crimes at different times and in different places, so that the humans in the surrounding towns thought they were Can use spells such as [Teleportation].
At this point, Artilicia has even reached the point where she is like "the mountain collapsed but her appearance remains unchanged" regarding the issue of David's identity.
After all, it can't even reveal the truth. As long as it's not in front of the gods, who can tell it?
Who the hell could have imagined that?
At that time, Artilicia could not have imagined that Salena had been living with David in person for more than half a month now, and she was equally confused:
"Ah, is there such a thing? What about him?"
Artilicia immediately distanced herself from the relationship and said:
"No, he didn't know that I was in the city at that time. If the Spider God Queen hadn't arrived at that time, I might have been directly annihilated by the Dragon God catastrophe."
"Huh?" Salena was not the only one who was dumbfounded.
Tanya, who was also hearing about this for the first time, also looked at her brother in disbelief, as if she was saying:
‘So, brother, this is not the first time you almost sent your father into the River Styx? ’
Tanya immediately recalled the 'horrible memory' of the first time she 'met' her father, when she and her brother almost slapped him to death, and her originally cute silver dragon face couldn't help but laugh. , like a kitten smelling something exciting.
It was David who quickly cut off this topic that was detrimental to family harmony:
"I will never admit someone who puts my father in danger as my brother. I, David Yutos, are incompatible with him!"
"Yeah, yeah! The forces are not mutually exclusive!" Tanya on the side also looked serious and solemn, but Salena couldn't see that her pure white belly was twitching faintly, almost to the point of cramping.
"Okay, let's not talk about this frustrating topic. Hurry up and eat. You have to do your homework later. David, you haven't finished your alchemy homework today." Artilicia took out the The majesty of the Dragon Lord.
"Oh." Brother and sister David responded in unison.
Just as they were about to go to their respective large rice bowls, David suddenly caught a glimpse of a report on another page of the newspaper from the corner of his eye.
This version of the report is much more realistic in terms of layout and text. It can be summarized in just a few words:
Recently, cases of roving drow being organized and selling "low-quality [Wrath Mixture]" have been discovered in various elven city-states. The city-states and even the noble territories are now ordered to strictly search and control the matter. At the same time, the elven citizens are encouraged to investigate this suspicious smuggling behavior. Paid reporting.
When he saw the so-called 'low-quality anger mixture', David was happy.
Could this be the goods that Drow Ariana gave away last year?
No, it’s not sold out yet?
David, who suddenly had a headache, thought about it.
Hiss, this seems to be his fault too.
Originally, a war was about to break out between the high elves and the drow, but Tiamat, whom he provoked, razed half of Spider Nest City, and then he and the drow matrons razed the city again. .
So much so that the Drow city-states are now falling into the Drow version of 'palace schemes' surrounding the power of religious orthodoxy.
This battle can no longer be fought.
The war can't be fought, and [Anger Mixture] is not like a psychedelic drug that can be used to make people drunk every day.
On the contrary, it is closer to the category of arms. If you are not fighting, you won't be able to use it at all. You can't just use it for excitement, right?
His medicine suddenly appeared on the market on a large scale
But it’s unsaleable.
‘This can’t go on like this. ’ David also realized something was wrong.
If this continues, he and his father will just produce the goods.
But don’t you have to smash it all in your hands?
Although my father has always been sure that the high elves will probably fall into disputes or even civil war due to centralization of power.
But who can say for sure about war?
It's possible that for decades, the two sides were quarreling with each other, and the whole country was trembling, but they didn't start a fight. Instead, one side suddenly fell apart one day.
It is also possible that the whole country was celebrating, but the leader of the country was directly assassinated, and then a full-scale war spread to the mainland.
Unless he is willing and able to become the trigger himself.
But history has proved that anyone who does this kind of thing, if he is not a horoscope, will easily become a scum directly under the collision and crushing of all parties.
Therefore, David was neither willing nor thought that he was capable of doing such a thing since he had lost [Tiamat's Wrath].
For things like war, let's just let nature take its course.
After all, he is still a young dragon child. With divinity in him, it is most important for him to develop slowly first.
But making money is equally important!
‘No, I have to conduct in-depth research and explore the market. ’
With this thought in mind, David took a few bites of the whole beef in his rice bowl, including the meat and bones.
"Dad, I suddenly remembered that some materials in the alchemy room are almost used up. I'm going to buy some and bring them back." His tone was as if he was going out to help make some soy sauce.
"Well, be careful on the road." Father Long responded calmly.
Be careful not to injure passers-by. You will have to pay for medical expenses later.
As for his son? That's a demigod. He's nothing to worry about like a mortal dragon.
Tanya rolled her eyes and finished dinner in two bites:
"Dad, I'm going to go out and help Brother David pick up some materials."
As he spoke, he followed David's butt and tried to run out, but Artilisia grabbed him by the neck and slipped back, issuing a soul torture:
"Have you finished your homework?"
"Wow! This isn't fair! My brother has obviously not finished his alchemy class, so why are you staring at me!"
Father Long sneered and carried Tanya into the room amidst Tanya's miserable howl and Serena's distressed gaze.
Why?
Even if you are a magic genius, can you compare with your brother?
Can you beat your father and me?
Can I stop your father?
Um?
Really are.
One is better than the other, which makes the dragon worry less.
Just got some temporary work. I’ll update one chapter first, and the second one in the evening~
