Chapter 145 Midwinter Festival (Part 1)(1/2)
Author: Conquer people with virtue
It has to be said that as soon as deep winter enters, the entire Xilan Mountains begin to experience a lot of snow. And on the day of Midwinter, the mountains are completely white and covered with snow.
In the middle of Snow Crown Mountain, inside the dragon's palace, everything is quiet and peaceful.
The cold wind carried snowflakes and blew into the hall from the huge window hole, so that a large patch of snow accumulated on the floor under the window. The entire hall became very cold.
As the dragon's dormitory, it is not that there is no conditions for warmth here. However, it is completely unnecessary for the creature sleeping in this room. Rather, the cold winter makes him feel comfortable.
Kawei was lying on his stomach in the center of the hall, sleeping soundly. The air flow from each breath caused a layer of frost to form on the ground in front of him.
On days like this, he could sleep for ten days and a half without stopping, just like dragons. Only a few troubles would cause them to terminate their sleep.
For example, maybe some outsider breaks into the nest, which will force the dragons to wake up from their sweet dreams. Under normal circumstances, no matter whether they are good dragons or evil dragons, they will not be in a good mood.
But for evil dragons, although being disturbed in their sleep can make them irritated, sometimes this can just solve another factor that disturbs their sleep - hunger.
Therefore, evil dragons who are extremely angry will usually tear the intruders into pieces without mercy, then use them to fill their stomachs, pat their bellies and go back to sleep.
But for Kawei, this rule does not apply.
"Gu~~"
A sound like a drum sounded in the room, echoing very clearly in the empty hall.
Not long after, with a heavier breath of ice, the white giant beast lying in the hall turned over.
Several layers of different eyelids opened again and again, revealing Kawei's big, confused eyes, blinking.
"I'm hungry..."
As if it was very laborious, Kawei sat up and shook his big head. The thirteen or fourteen meter long body was crowded together, as if he was thinking about Long Sheng.
After a while, his originally not very complicated thoughts finally returned to his empty head - he decided to go out to find something to eat.
Stepping out of the main hall, outside is a huge stone platform for dragons to take off and land. From here, you can see the people flowing in the city below, as well as the lights of thousands of houses.
Today is Midwinter, and the entire Platinum Crown City is extremely lively. Although it is still snowing, there are still many people coming and going on the streets.
"What is this? It smells so good!"
Bailong's sense of smell is very keen, and Kawei caught a faint scent floating in the wind and snow.
"It smells like barbecue." Kawei's eyes lit up, and a lot of saliva immediately began to secrete from his mouth.
Kawei, who was already hungry, couldn't bear it anymore. So he immediately flapped his wings to stir up the wind and snow, and flew towards the city below.
Although Kawei's figure was very hidden in the snow, he was so close that it still aroused the cry of many citizens.
Since the construction of Osfir, Theos's presence is undoubtedly the strongest, but in fact, Kawi is also quite famous.
Kawei, who is still underage, is quite playful, so Theos did not arrange any work for him and just told him not to cause trouble.
So besides sleeping, Kawei had quite a long time to do nothing. Besides flying to the snowy mountains to play, he also wandered around the Xilan Mountains.
After going back and forth, many people got to know this real "second boss" of Osfill.
After all, Robbie is actually Kawei's dependent. From this point of view, Kawei is right to say that he is the second boss.
Back to the topic, Kawei, who flew down from the sky, slowly slowed down, arrived at the central square of Platinum Crown City, and landed smoothly.
"Mom! It's His Highness Bailong!"
The crowd in the square gradually became quiet, except for a little girl lying in the middle of the open space.
He looked down at the little dwarf girl in front of him and looked up at him.
"Big brother seems to be telling me to be kinder to these people..." Kawei thought to himself.
Since the elder brother said so, of course he would do it. So after a long test, Kawei tried to make a smiling face.
The wide and long mouth suddenly grinned until it was close to the ears, two rows of sharp and shiny teeth were exposed, and the facial features were gathered together.
"Wow——!" The underground dwarf girl suddenly cried.
"Oh, why did you come here! Your Highness White Dragon, I'm so sorry!" Among the crowd, an underground dwarf woman quickly ran out and took the girl into her arms. Then, she hurriedly saluted Kawei.
Kawei didn't pay attention, but blew out a stream of white air from his nose and walked away from the dwarf mother and daughter.
The people of all ethnic groups in the square began to move slowly again, but the voices of conversation were half lowered.
This is not to say that Kawei is not friendly enough to the people, but that ordinary races are naturally afraid of creatures like dragons. Even if you know that he will not hurt you, the visual impact of their bodies is enough to make you afraid.
They hang their hearts.
Not to mention Kawei, even if Theos comes here, it will be the same.
No one dared to block Kawei's path. The crowd would separate when he was still seven or eight meters away, so he walked fairly smoothly.
With his nose carefully searching for the fragrance in the air, Kawei quickly found his target - a street shop with a huge oven.
From the outside, you can clearly see a rotating iron rack inside the oven, with seven or eight lambs hanging on it, roasting continuously.
The aroma completely exploded here, and Kawei couldn't help but drop a drop of saliva to the ground.
"Dear His Highness White Dragon, what do you need?" The owner of the barbecue shop is an old dwarf. He raised his head and looked at the huge thing in front of him.
Kavi pointed to the oven.
Seeing this, the dwarf boss immediately understood, tilted his head and shouted behind him: "Old lady, His Highness White Dragon has taken a liking to our barbecue, so he's here to help."
"What do you call it, damn ghost!"
A dwarf landlady with a big body and a round waist, even thicker than the dwarf boss came out of the store with a ferocious look on her face, but her expression immediately changed: "Of course I'm not talking about you, Your Highness White Dragon, please wait a moment~"
The dwarf boss and his wife immediately took action and used a large, strong iron hook to remove one of the roasted whole lambs from the stove.
Before any condiments could be sprinkled on, as soon as the large wooden plate covered with starch was put on the plate, Kawei grabbed it with his hands and swallowed it in one gulp.
The roasted whole lamb, charred on the outside and on the inside, exploded in Kawei's mouth. The tender and juicy taste made Kawei very satisfied, but then he became even hungrier.
Kavi pointed to the oven again, he hadn't eaten enough yet.
The dwarf couple quickly took down another one, and Kawei swallowed it in one gulp. In this way, he ate eight in a row until he had eaten all the roasted lamb in the stove.
After burping, Kawei was very satisfied.
It is easy to feel sleepy after eating a full meal, and soon, a wave of sleepiness rushed into his head, urging him to fall asleep quickly. But just when he was about to turn around and leave, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed across his mind.
"Big brother seems to have said that you have to pay for taking their things..." Kawei scratched his head.
Although Theos had arranged for many people to supply the two brothers with daily food, he still gave Kawei a lot of coins just to deal with this situation.
So, in full view of everyone, Kawei opened his mouth, then put his front paws in and took out a small handful of silver coins.
"Here you go, money." Kawei stretched out his hand and spread it out. About a dozen silver coins still stained with mucus lay in the palm of his hand.
"Oops." The dwarf boss was at a loss: "Your Highness, how dare I accept your money."
"It's not too late for us to be happy that you can come to our place for dinner. Finally, we have a chance to repay you."
The old dwarf's words were very sincere, and he was not lying out of fear. In fact, the people of Osfir had always regarded Kawei as one with their lord. At this time, by providing meals to Kawei, he was also paying tribute to him.
A way for Theos to show respect.
"You damn ghost!" The dwarf landlady had no intention of accepting the money at first, but it was different when she saw Kawei take out the money. She was overjoyed. Her husband still refused, which made her a little anxious.
So next, the dwarf boss and his wife started arguing and refused to accept the meal money, which made Kawei anxious.
"You, you guys." Kawei got angry.
If my eldest brother knew that I didn't pay for meals, he would definitely be angry with me.
Kawei was so anxious that he threw the money in front of the two of them, took a few steps back, spread his wings, took off and ran away.
A strong wind blew up, causing many passers-by to flip over, leaving the dwarf couple dumbfounded.
"His Royal Highness White Dragon is a good dragon..."
After a long time, the dwarf boss came back to his senses and sighed. Everything is really good here. Not to mention a mighty and kind lord, even His Highness the White Dragon is very different from other five-color dragons. This is really true for all the people of Osfir.
What a blessing.
Thinking of this, he turned to look at his mother-in-law: "Humph, just fall into the eyes of money."
"What's so bad? If you're not a business owner, you don't know how expensive bread is!" The landlady didn't share his common sense. She picked up the silver coins on the ground one by one and wiped them with her apron.
Carvey went back to sleep, and the news of his appearance in the city square was quickly reported to Robidad's desk.
"I understand, you can go down. Continue to report such things in the future." Robbie waved his hand and told the clerk to leave.
At this time, not only Robbie, but Erso, Valk, Thoradin and others were also in the office. After hearing the news, several people looked at each other and smiled without saying a word.
This is not a big deal, but if Kawei forgets to pay, the committee will also take action to compensate for the losses of ordinary citizens.
There are the likes and dislikes of Lord Theos on one side, and Lord Kavi on the other. No matter what the situation is, those who are subordinates and subordinates must naturally handle it well.
Speaking of which, coins are slowly beginning to circulate in Osfir due to trade with the outside world. However, at this stage, they are mainly used in Platinum Crown City.
"According to everyone's opinions, the Midwinter Festival decorations are finally completed. I hope everyone can have a good holiday and live up to the master's special arrangements."
Robbie picked up a cup of hot tea on the table, took a sip, and continued the topic with a few people.
"That's right." Valk and the others nodded, remembering that the arrangement this time should be considered comprehensive, and reluctantly relaxed a little.
To be continued...
