Yu Yuan stood on the mountain and watched Kalai take the members of the Dragon Race who participated in the sacrifice away. This powerful race almost has the ability to move mountains and seas, and the Dragon Cave is actually in a hidden place that needs to cross many oceans. , and only these guys can easily reach.

Kalai proposed that Yu Yuan should also participate, but he refused, on the grounds that since the Dragon Clan's own festivals have not been attended by any outsiders since it was recorded, he should not be the one to make an exception, but he also stood Seeing off Kalai from a high place, they looked at each other from a great distance before the curtain of water fell, and then disappeared.

At this time, Louis appeared beside Yu Yuan out of thin air.

"Good evening, dear." Louis smiled at him, "It always feels like you're not very happy today."

"No." Yu Yuan flatly denied.

He just suddenly had an indescribable feeling, as if the connection between him and this virtual game seemed to be closer than before, but this change has become a sudden increase in burden.

Since taking care of those cubs, he slowly felt that some parts of his heart seemed to melt into soft water. When those furry little guys put their heads on his palms, the warmth of snuggling with him, all kinds of things. The details seemed more vivid than he had ever felt in the game before.

One could even say yes, including to Carle.

He told himself that this is a game, and as long as the game doesn't violate the rules, you can achieve anything here and satisfy yourself, but when facing Carle's eyes at certain times, he will subconsciously avoid it.

Why did it become so true, and why did such a change suddenly occur?

"Yu Yuan," Louis' voice interrupted his thoughts, "I also want to ask you something, whether it's Edith, Clay, or the current 'Yu Yuan', who should I call you? name?"

"The previous one was fake, this time is real, or is it fake every time?" Louis still smiled, "Maybe you will leave next time, but tell me the truth at least once."

Taking advantage of the night when Kalai was away, the two stood on the mountain and chatted.

"It's true this time." Yu Yuan simply admitted that a name doesn't matter much anyway.

"Will you leave this time? I know that if you wanted to leave, you could have asked me for help, but you haven't spoken," Louis laughed at himself: "Is there anything special about this dragon, it's more special than you met before? Everyone needs to be special?"

Yu Yuan understood what he was referring to, but he couldn't give any answer. In fact, he himself felt that the answer could only be no.

He is now beginning to wonder if it is because of this life-building experience that it is difficult for him to leave the game and return to reality. In fact, the last time he went offline and returned to the house where he lived alone, he already felt a little inside. It was empty, as if it needed something to fill it up.

"Yu Yuan."

"Yu Yuan."

Louie shouted loudly and looked up at the boundless night sky. The stars above were shining forever, and it seemed that they would never lose their brightness due to the passage of time.

"Would you believe me if I said I saw you a long time ago?"

Hearing this, Yu Yuan suddenly widened his eyes, "When do you want to say..."

He always felt that he seemed to have heard similar words somewhere else.

"It was much earlier than you thought, so long that I almost suspected that there was something wrong with my memory, maybe at that time-even this huge world was just beginning to take shape."

When? Is it someone similar to him?

Yu Yuan didn't say anything, just silently listened to what Louis said next.

"You seem to have the talent to be a little liar, and you were using another name at that time. I sometimes even wonder if you have used so many names, can you still tell the difference?" Louis laughed again, self-deprecatingly. Laughing, "Maybe it doesn't matter to you that you can't tell the difference. After all, you use every identity once and throw it away, like this time, like last time."

"No, what name and what identity..."

His words were interrupted.

"When you first appeared in front of me, you claimed to be the president of the Mage Association, and then you have new identities and new names one after another, maybe because I am also using a different appearance, so you did not once I recognize it, darling, and maybe I should thank you for coming back this time at least with the ability to identify me."

Louis put a hand around his waist lightly, "This is probably a kind of progress, and I believe you will always remember my name this time."

What are they all about?

Yu Yuan vaguely recalled that Louis was definitely not the first NPC to say such strange words, so who were all of them before?

"Louis, you have to answer my question, you once had a guy who used the name—"

On the moonlit mountain top, Louis kissed him.

The two of them, as if isolated from the world, were doing things in this place that absolutely no third person would know. Yu Yuan, who was caught off guard and frightened, widened his eyes, and the face exactly like Kalai was so close.

No, it's not just Carle's face, this face looks a little bit closer, and it looks more like Mr. Lu...

For the first time, Yu Yuan clearly felt that his heartbeat was accelerating.

Bang, bang, it's like putting a lively little rabbit in your arms, and the rabbit keeps kicking its feet as if it will never get tired.

He asked almost in an air voice, "Louis, what's your name?"

Louis didn't answer, as if whoever had the secret could take the initiative.

The next second, he disappeared from the spot, leaving only a light "when you really won't leave, I will come back again and tell you the answer you want to know".

At dawn, when Yu Yuan was still in a hazy sleep and opened his eyes in a trance, Kalai came back.

He still wears the complicated patterns hand-painted by Yu Yuan himself, as well as the water droplets that seem to have been stained just after coming out of the water. The wild style is quite attractive.

"I'm back," he put a bunch of flowers that were as red as fire next to him. "I brought it back from the Dragon Cave. It comes every year, which symbolizes that this year will also be blessed by the ancestors."

Yu Yuan finally asked him to get up, and after he picked up the bouquet, the strange and fragrant fragrance rushed to his face, which made him a little dazed.

"This kind of flower is unique to Dragon Cave, you should be the first human to get it," Kalai grinned, "Would you like to thank me?"

But Yu Yuan was holding this thing, but he was thinking about other things, as if the endless conversation with Louis last night had turned on some strange switch.

Kalai said that this kind of flower is a unique species of the dragon cave of the ancestors of the dragon race, but why does he feel a little familiar for no reason? Is it an illusion?

In any case, at least from today onwards, Louis has disappeared again, just like every time he has been in the past, leaving only two and one or three small octopuses.

It was only then that he remembered that Louis still held the dark attribute egg he stole from himself, but he hadn't returned it.

And the egg that Grandma Wu gave didn't show any signs of hatching.

Within two days, Yu Yuan's job also had a new task. The Dragon Clan's problem with Kalai was resolved, but the last egg hadn't hatched, and there was no need to worry that the dragon would harass the townspeople, so as a wage worker Yu Yu. The source naturally has to do other things.

But maybe it's a coincidence. His new job is to teach new spell skills to NPCs in the Mage Association of the port as a special mage. In fact, to put it bluntly, the game design team has recently developed new skills. Putting it in the game will naturally lead to the general association. In the name of announcing that they have new research on spells, they will iteratively upgrade new skills by teaching them to skill instructors.

"I have a new job. This time I have to work in the Mage Association in the port for a while, and I may be sent to other places later," Yu Yuan frankly told Ka the reason for his departure and where he was going. Lai, and suggested to the other party: "Maybe you can finish the last egg hatching job yourself, but I have to go."

As for Carle's dejected expression at that time, in the words of Lin Ling, who was watching the fun, if Yu Yuan showed any signs of wanting to hide and forcibly leave, he might be locked in a small dark room if he was not careful. .

But if Yu Yuan is honest, then Kalai has to do the same. This is what he learned from human beings, and he must treat the people you say cherish equally.

The day of separation came very quickly. The three octopuses and one wind cat had to be taken away by Yu Yuan. Only the egg that hardly hatched was left to Kalai. It will be the head dragon.

Carle was also unusually calm on this day, without any attempts to spit fire and so on, it really seemed like he had grown up completely.

He once again turned into a dragon to carry Yu Yuan, but this time he flew very slowly, and the person sitting on his back could almost feel that the wind blowing his face today seemed to be so gentle, as if time was being stretched infinitely. .

But no matter how long the journey is, there will always be an end point. They had to say goodbye this time to the small island where they had moored in advance before they landed on the mainland.

"You have really changed a lot," Yu Yuan smiled sincerely, looking up at the huge black dragon, the deep night could hardly cover it, "Go back, you will fulfill your original wish and lead the future from now on. The lord of the dragon clan, and cultivate it into a king as qualified as you."

From the very beginning of hatching the first egg, Kalai seemed to be constantly hoping that this time it would be a dragon egg, because he was impatient with the test Wu gave him, and just wanted to complete the task as soon as possible. But every subtle change since then has made him realize that his wishes have long since changed.

If I change a wish, will you wish me to fulfill it now?

Carle, who has always been outspoken, also hesitated for the last words he didn't say.

Dragon's golden vertical pupils, there are times when his eyes are not so firm.

Taking advantage of the night, the human mage landed on land and returned to the world he came from, and the black dragon finally disappeared. Just like monsters with huge powers living in legends, they are always so mysterious, but if there is a chance to get close to them, maybe they are not too different from each other.

Life seems to be back on track again.

This time, he did not receive any tasks, and did not enter any dungeons that must be completed. He was just caught by a dragon that fell from the sky on the way to investigate bugs, and the dragon was fierce and forced him from the beginning. He hatched the eggs, and he actually stayed like this, staying until every egg was hatched, until the cubs grew up a little and had to leave them, and now, he is finally leaving.

The moon still hangs high in the night sky, as if it will never set.

Yu Yuan's online job after going to work every day has temporarily become a regular job in the Port Mage Association, and he has successfully integrated into the working environment here and became a magic teacher just like the last temporary substitute class. After meeting him, many players continued to spread the news in the community that Father Maomao had returned and replaced him here. Many people took pictures with him for a while, but most of the players were polite, and no one took all kinds of things. If the question bothers him, just take a look, touch and take pictures.

On the contrary, the mage who brought the cubs to Kalai last time was still a little gossip, and quietly inquired to Yu Yuan: "Didn't your family come with you?"

"What family?" Yu Yuan, who didn't have any relatives in real life, didn't even have any relatives in the game, his first reaction was to ask back, and he remembered who the other party was referring to, "No, that's not my family, we're just friends."

The mage looked at it and seemed a little incomprehensible, but out of courtesy, he didn't ask more.

Lin Ling occasionally mentioned to him, "Did you know that chinchillas and fish cats are very popular in the community fandom recently? They are almost out of the circle of friends. But it sounds amazing, chinchillas here are all raised with cubs. Zaiwen, fish and cats are all fandoms that underage people cannot enter."

"You're still watching this?!" Yu Yuan almost spit out a mouthful of water.

"How is that possible, just passing by and taking a look, and the popularity is so high that I don't want to see it, and I don't know if the planning department will sell new props or something. The last time the limited-time sales around the black cat were really good. ."

Lin Ling talked about the work in the company, Yu Yuan listened to each other, and the day-to-day life of a substitute magic teacher passed slowly.

One day, the female colleague of the association in the game got another voucher for a family restaurant. She remembered that Yu Yuan could come up with a family of four and he would come to him. Yu Yuan told the general situation and wanted to refuse, but in the end he refused. If you lose this kindness, you can only keep the discount coupon yourself.

And one day, when he was still teaching spells to players who were upgrading, a colleague suddenly called him, "Yu Yuan, someone is looking for him outside."

He had to put down his work and go out first, but at the door he saw a figure who probably shouldn't have appeared here at this time-Kalai.

The two looked at each other from a distance, Yu Yuan walked up, "Why are you here?"

Kalai, who rarely speaks succinctly, hesitated before saying, "The last egg hatched, but it's not quite right."

"It's not a dragon?" Yu Yuan was also a little surprised, Wu Yuan had clearly said that it belonged to a dragon.

Then, he saw Kalai pull out from under the cloak a small black thing that could be hugged by both hands. This guy seemed to have been sleeping all the way. As soon as he saw Yu Yuan, he shouted, "Mom!"

Yu Yuan was dumbfounded.

Not because of being called "Mom" again, but because - who can tell him what species this little guy who looks like a black cat has a pair of super mini dragon wings on his back and a pair of black dragon horns on his head!

Carle's eyes were firm, "See, this must have something to do with you. You have to be responsible for both of us."

After taking a leave of absence to find a colleague, Yu Yuan, who was back in the dormitory, and Kalai, who was sitting on the other side, looked at each other, and on the table between the two was a little guy who was just a dragon, not a dragon, a cat, or a cat. Like the result of adding two species together.

Yu Yuan couldn't help but reached out and touched it curiously. The little black cat's wings and little dragon's horns were hard, just like the black dragon, but the rest of the body was indeed soft, just like a kitten wearing decorations. The creature pretends to be a dragon, but this one is true everywhere.

"I suspect now that you are here to mess with me..." Yu Yuan had a face full of lovelessness. In front of him was a black octopus with long cat ears, and then there was a man named Kalai who brought long pterosaur horns. Little black cat, these two people seem to have negotiated, but they use the same way to manipulate his mentality.

"How could I lie to you?" Carle was very dissatisfied. "After you left, there was really only such a little guy who came out of such a big egg. I even asked Wu, and she said she couldn't do anything about it."

"Did Grandma Wu say the reason? It's impossible for me to become like this because I participated in hatching eggs, right?"

Carle was silent for a while before saying, "Just saying that she doesn't know, can't help anything."

In fact, only the second half of the sentence was said by Wu Zhen, the first half of what she said at that time was, "This kind of egg can respond to the expectations of the caregiver, as long as you give it enough affection, it will be born into this world to meet your wishes. ".

Kalai's original wish was to solve the problem of the successor of the next Dragon Lord, so it stands to reason that the dragon should come out of the egg, but the situation is obviously different now.

"..." Yu Yuan looked at each other with this kitten who could not do anything other than being cute, and deeply doubted that such a little guy should not be the master of the dragon clan, even if it was hatched by Kalai.

However, as if he could read minds, Kalai said in the next sentence: "If this little guy can grow up in the future, it may not be impossible to train him to become the next dragon master, anyway, he is half a dragon."

Yu Yuan really spit out a mouthful of water, "You're crazy, you can be a dragon too?"

The winged "Chinchilla" seemed to understand their words and spread out his wings in a grand manner, as if to say, "Look at me, I can also be very mighty".

But Yu Yuan reckoned that this guy would at most be about the same size as when he became a cat in his life.

"Then what do you want to do now?" Yu Yuan touched his nose helplessly, "I can't turn it into a dragon for you. If you don't want to raise it, let me raise it."

Totoro's eyes instantly became horrified.

It thought it was here to find its mother, but it turned out to be the parents discussing parenting matters?

"How is it possible, I will keep it," Carley quickly denied, "but you see, it is obviously half like you, so you really have to be half responsible for it."

Totoro's dangling heart just fell back into his stomach.

Yu Yuanxin said that it wasn't your birth, and who was responsible, but it was impossible to turn a blind eye to the cub, so he had to say: "How do you want me to be responsible, one, three, five, two, four and six, I'll raise it together on Sunday. keep?"

Lin Ling: "The child is still there, pay attention to the influence, don't do it, you are really like a divorced family."

"Don't talk nonsense, brother, I have no family, I'm innocent." Yu Yuan responded politely.

The chinchilla on the table was worried and relieved for a while, and he was almost confused about the situation. Finally, he heard his father say to his mother, "You have to go somewhere with me."

ten minutes later.

Yu Yuan looked up at the wooden sign "Monster and Human Interracial Marriage Registration Office" hanging in front of him, wiped his face as if he had just woken up and was still awake, and said word by word to Kalai next to him: "You Did you get water in your head when you crossed the sea?

"I'm serious," Kalai coughed. "You humans don't say that the most effective promises are legal and not verbal. I have to promise that you will really be responsible."

Take the blame for the shit, this is simply Carley's cheating, he is really crazy to do this kind of thing.

Yu Yuan, who was about to collapse, wiped his face again and pointed to another sign on the street next door, "I'll go there now to go through the adoption procedure and adopt the chinchilla, and you don't care about the rest."

The office across the street does adoption-related matters, and that's the place to go.

In the end, the plan that Carle thought was feasible still fell through. The only gain was that Yu Yuan decided to go through the adoption procedures for Chinchillas.

When going through the adoption procedures, the staff must check the relevant information first. In the game world, there is a set of identity networks similar to those in reality, which actually rely on magical power to run. What Yu Yuan handled was just his adoption of Chinchillas, an extra legal guarantee, but when the staff checked out his information column through identity verification, he seemed a little surprised.

"Mr. Yu, you just said that you are single and have no marriage relationship. You want to adopt this monster cub as a child, right?"

"Yes." Yu Yuan nodded.

The staff said hesitantly: "But this shows that you are married..."

Are you married?

Before Yu Yuan could express his surprise, Kalai, who was waiting outside the door, pushed open the door and rushed in, "You're married to someone else? That's why you didn't get a marriage certificate with me?!"

Get a big watermelon and the marriage certificate you mentioned seems to be the same as driving a dragon's driver's license!

Yu Yuan also stood up and said to the staff, "Can you help me find out who the other half of the marriage information has registered?"

Players in the game have a marriage system, but only players and players can handle effective marriage relationships, NPCs can also be among each other, and NPCs and players are absolutely impossible. Yu Yuan was very convinced that he had not even had many friends since he played the game, so how could he possibly be married to anyone?

The staff said, "Just a moment."

Carle kept staring at Yu Yuan, making him feel a little uncomfortable. He didn't know how many thoughts were in his extremely complicated eyes.

Lin Ling said quietly: "He probably wants to say that you are a scumbag."

"That's not the case at all!"

When Yu Yuan was about to be stared at two holes by Kalai, the staff finally found out the result and said to Yu Yuan: "It's a little strange, you can only find out one name in your partner information, and the rest You can't see the content, if you still want to apply for adoption, this situation must be agreed by both partners at the scene, only you can't."

Kalai, who wanted to find a chance to claim this identity at the registration office next door, never thought that there would be such a big "surprise" tonight, and the dragon's teeth were almost crushed. Yu Yuan hurriedly asked the staff again, "What's your name?"

"LU, nothing else."

The name...

Just as Yu Yuan thought of something, he was interrupted by Kalai, who was in a state of breathing fire, "You have a relationship with Louis for a long time, and you even secretly married him!"

What is this!

How did you associate the names Louis and LU with you, at least make some sense?

"Anyway, I made it clear, I absolutely didn't." Yu Yuan, who was also confused, calmed down and immediately picked up the chinchilla and went back, not wanting to argue with this irrational guy in front of outsiders.

Carle followed behind, questioning him as he walked along the way, Yu Yuan pretended to be deaf and walked away with his head sullen, and when he got back to the dormitory, he suddenly stopped, "Wait, you stop here, let's put it down. Speak clearly."

Carle sneered, "You make it up, let's see what else you can make up. You just like that dead octopus, but you still don't admit it."

The two stood still here, and then... Yu Yuan hugged the cat and turned around and ran away, like a gust of wind.

He can't put Carle in his dormitory tonight or he won't be able to live in peace!

Carle didn't expect such a sudden development, and opened his eyes in disbelief, and immediately chased after him.

But in the end, Yu Yuan, who set out first, took a step forward. He ran as fast as a dragon was chasing his life. He successfully rushed into the single-person dormitory when Kalai was still the last few meters away, and locked the door with his backhand. .

"Yu Yuan, open the door for me!" Kalai, who was one step late, banged on the door, wishing he could just pierce the door.

"I advise you to leave early, stay calm tonight, and talk to you tomorrow morning." Yu Yuan felt relieved inside and put the cat down.

The unbelieving Kalai slammed the door, but failed to penetrate.

"Don't force me to smash the door."

Partial dragonization has begun on him.

Yu Yuan thought about it for a moment. Although he had placed a magic ban on the door, it might not be able to withstand the ability of a dignified dragon master in Kalai, but he really didn't want to let anyone in.

When Kalai was about to start the countdown, Yu Yuan suddenly changed his tone of voice and said, "Do you look like a good father?"

Carly's movements stopped for a moment.

In order to appear realistic, Yu Yuan also gestured to five cubs, two cats, three octopuses, and a total of five cubs in the house, indicating that they would cry together.

"Look at how the children are frightened, and look at yourself!" He continued to be distressed, as if the black dragon was crying and mourning for him.

The attitude of the dragon man outside the door was softened.

Yu Yuan is also listening to the movement. He knows that Carle is the one who eats soft and not hard. A slightly softer attitude is the most effective.

In the end, Carle had to give up.

"I'll wait for you to come out tomorrow morning...we'll talk then."

Kalai also leaned against the door to speak. The two people separated by the door were so close that Yu Yuan could almost hear each other's teeth grinding with anger.

"Tomorrow you'd better give me a reasonable set of words - explain why you are married."
