Alright, I actually understand everything. Master has patiently explained to the reasons behind her arrangents.
Unlike , Master is very concerned about the lives of those insignificant beings and has a tendency to ddle in their affairs. Although I don’t think it’s necessary to go to such lengths for strangers or people we just t, this isn’t the first ti sothing like this has happened.
Master must be right, so I can only do my best to support her.
Feeling a bit irritated, I put the book Master gave back on the table, stood up from my seat, and walked over to the window, looking out at the snow-covered valley.
“Damn it...”
It’s only been a few hours since I left Master, yet my heart feels like it’s missing sothing important, leaving unusually restless. Even though Master said she hoped I would read more books, learn the language of this world, and understand the culture here...
But I just can’t seem to settle down! What’s so interesting about these boring things anyway? Fangs and claws are the real deal!
Moreover, the creatures in this world are clearly weaker than those that they faced before. Since coming here, Master has changed her usual style, becoming much more cautious and rarely causing trouble. I really don’t get it.
Forget it, I’ll go for a walk to clear my mind.
I opened the window and leaped down from the second-floor cliff, landing on the soft, fluffy snow.
The snow on the ground had piled up thickly, and as soon as I stepped on it, my entire foot almost sank into it. Although this kind of temperature is inconsequential to a dragon, the feeling of sinking still made frown involuntarily.
Just as I was thinking of sothing to ease this discomfort, a sudden exclamation caught my attention.
“Huh? Lady Xiao Guang? Why are you outside? Did sothing happen?”
Before I even looked up, I easily identified the approaching person through their scent and the sound of their movents.
It was Rene, a girl Master saved by chance in this world. She and her sister, Leila, belong to a race called Winged People. Although their abilities are quite unremarkable, they are fairly quick and nimble, and their appearances are sowhat notable. Thus, they have temporarily taken on the honorable duty of attending to Master’s daily needs.
Even though their bond with Master isn’t as deep as mine, they have been with us for so ti and are passable attendants. Before leaving, Master specifically instructed to ensure their safety in case of any unexpected situations.
Besides Master, Rene is one of the few individuals I have interacted with in this world. And more importantly, she didn’t have any impure thoughts about Master. It’s better to acknowledge her presence.
“Nothing, just taking a walk to clear my mind.”
“I see. Hehe, I get it. You’re feeling a bit bored because Lady Violet isn’t around, right?”
Tch... Annoying perceptiveness. Oh well.
With hair almost blending into the snow, wearing thick boots and a coat, the Winged girl with white wings tucked behind her back jogged over to . I noticed she was holding a long, thin black tal rod adorned with strange tal shapes I couldn’t understand. Naturally, I felt a bit curious.
“I’m not bored. But what about you? What are you doing with that thing in this snowy weather?”
“Oh, you an this?”
Rene raised the peculiar rod in her hand, seemingly wanting to take a closer look.
“This is sothing Miss Eilush temporarily stored in the warehouse, called... an antenna, I think? You know, she’s been holed up in her house all day working on that flying wing thing, not eating, not sleeping, not even taking care of herself. Even the puppets can’t handle her. Since everyone’s got nothing better to do, we figured we’d lend her a hand and ease her burden a bit. So, here I am, going to fetch sothing for her.”
Eilush, huh...
I don’t really have any good feelings towards that clingy person who latched onto Master. Not only has she failed to show the proper respect, but she also often takes advantage of Master’s kindness under the guise of research. It’s simply outrageous.
If it weren’t for recent efforts to control my temper, coupled with Master’s intervention, I would’ve already dismantled that presumptuous puppet into pieces of scrap tal.
Oh well, since it’s sothing Master tacitly approved of, if Rene and the others want to help, I can’t be bothered to intervene. As long as they don’t cause any trouble for Master.
“Got it, you can go.”
“Oh, okay... Well then, Lady Xiao Guang, I’ll take my leave. It’s cold outside, rember to return to your room early, don’t catch a cold.”
After leaving behind a bunch of unnecessary reminders, Rene jogged away.
Hmph, how foolish, equating the conditions of ordinary creatures to the noble Dragon race. Even sub-zero temperatures can’t affect in the slightest, so what’s to fear from this kind of snowstorm?
Since there’s nothing to do back at the house, I might as well wander around.
If Master commands to guard this place, then I must fulfill the duties of a guardian, and patrolling the territory is necessary.
I pulled my legs out of the fluffy snow and couldn’t help but furrow my brow.
“......”
Forget it, it’s better not to be stubborn and cause trouble for Master.
As the snow fell heavier and heavier, I walked around the edge of the valley in a complete circle, but I didn’t find anything worth noting, nor did I find any traces of enemy invasion.
Ah, how boring.
Can’t there be a worthy opponent to pass the ti with...
“Hmm?”
Suddenly, a scent caught my attention.
Many people think that canines have the most sensitive sense of sll in the world, but they don’t know that the average perception of scent by dragons is more than ten tis that of those dumb dogs.
Master often relies on my ability to track down elusive things, and I’ve never disappointed her.
This scent... how should I put it? I’ve only slled it twice.
The first ti was in the territory of those mountain wolves, emanating from the body of a snake that was eaten by Snow Wing.
The second ti was in the Spirit Puppet Forest when Master and I were tracking that foolish puppet, Eilush, who got lost. I briefly slled it from her.
Although both tis, the scent disappeared quickly, I won’t forget it. It’s like secretly adding mustard to Master’s favorite custard tart. It seems normal, but when you take a bite, there’s an obvious, jarring taste that doesn’t belong.
The scent is very faint, like it’s being masked by sothing, and it’s also quite a distance away from where I am... outside the valley.
If it were Master, she would probably choose to investigate. Although I didn’t sense a particularly powerful presence, I’m bored anyway.
Let’s go take a look.
Because of the heavy snow, most of the Moon Shadow Demon Wolves living here have chosen to stay indoors, and there aren’t many traces of activity on the snow-covered ground. Soon, I arrived near the target.
That strange scent beca even more pronounced.
Then, the wind brought faint voices from afar.
“Yes, yes, they left early this morning. I just received the news.”
“I don’t know. Those won haven’t shown their hands in public, but judging by the profound respect Chief Vanessa shows them, they’re probably not simple characters.”
“No, just three of them. Okay, I’ll continue to monitor the situation on the Moon Shadow Clan’s side and contact you if anything cos up.”
Huh? Is this... passing ssages through the wind?
It seems Master was right after all. There really is a traitor in the Moon Shadow Clan. And judging by what it’s saying, could it be talking about Master?
To dare to leak Master’s movents to outsiders... Hah... What a foolish ant who knows nothing of fear...
Alright, let’s kill it.
