From Baron's Second Son to Dragon Rider

What appeared before their eyes was a "basin" that looked very abrupt.

Why was it called abrupt?

That's because this "basin" didn't look like a naturally formed terrain, but rather a terrain that was forcibly transformed by a powerful force after a fierce battle between some giants.

Rather than a basin, it's better to say it's a huge pit.

But for the sake of sounding good, Krober decided to call this place a basin.

The area of ​​this basin is not large, and the depth is not deep.

From the easternmost to the westernmost side of the basin, it is only a few hundred meters long, and the depth is about ten meters, which Krober couldn't calculate clearly.

Because the ground inside this basin is also uneven, some are very deep, and some are very shallow.

Krober guessed that this place should be the battlefield of the Dragon War.

Thinking of this, Krober hurriedly led people to start searching, hoping to find the existence of minerals and dragon blood plants in this basin.

Hard work pays off, and soon a soldier reported to Krober and said that he suspected that he had found the traces of the elves.

Led by the soldier, Krober soon came to an open space full of roses.

This rose is different from the roses Krober had seen in his daily life or in his previous life. The stamens of this rose emit a mysterious and charming purple light.

The color is deep and rich, crystal clear, and the overall texture is more like some kind of purple gem or crystal.

Reaching out to touch it, it feels cool and smooth, and at that moment it takes away the irritability and anxiety that Krober had felt because of the news about the dragon.

"Good stuff!"

Feeling the sense of tranquility brought to him by this rose, Krober immediately determined that this was a magic plant produced by some kind of magic potion elf.

Like the cardamom elf bug that Krober had discovered before, the rose should have evolved from the dragon blood plant, and this rose is purple all over, with almost no mixed colors.

He would believe it if you said that this rose was watered by someone with dragon blood every day.

Since the existence of the magic plant has been discovered, there must be corresponding elves around.

So Krober looked for traces of the rose elf around.

Finally, in one of the rose bushes, Kroeber found a rose elf hiding inside and peeking out with half of its head exposed.

This is a beautiful rose elf with a delicate little face and dark purple hair.

This elf is burying itself in the bushes at the moment, timidly watching the strange two-legged beast approaching it.

As an elf that has evolved for no more than ten years, it has also explored the outside world out of curiosity, but when it saw the strange and ugly two-legged beast, it was afraid and ran back to its birthplace.

Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for the ugly two-legged beast to break into its home with people.

"Little guy, come here."

Kroeber asked the soldiers on the side to step back, took out a bag of gold coins from his arms, picked up one of them with his slender fingers, and slowly placed it in front of the rose elf.

Sniff, sniff.

The rose elf smelled her favorite magic smell from the good-looking two-legged beast in front of her.

It stuck its head out, looked around to confirm that there was only this two-legged beast, and then it slowly flew out.

It was not until this time that Kroeber saw the full appearance of this rose elf.

The rose elf was wearing a purple rose dress made of magic, and the overall look was quite dignified and noble.

This reminded Kroeber of the words of a public figure in his previous life.

Purple is indeed more charming... Oh no, purple is indeed a very noble color.

And compared to the chubby black feather grass elf Vera, this rose elf is relatively slimmer and taller than Vera.

Kroeber guessed that this should be because the roots of dragon blood plants are deeper than ordinary plants, so they look taller.

And the rose itself is more beautiful than the black feather grass, so it is normal that Vera cannot compare with the rose elf in appearance.

Kroeber will still love Vera very much, after all, he is the first elf he got, and men will care about the first thing they get.

The rose elf flew out slowly, and after seeing that the good-looking biped seemed to have no ill will towards him, he slowly sat on Krober's hand, picked up the gold coin and began to eat it quietly.

(This book's original setting, elves can eat magic metal to provide nutrients for themselves, which is also the main way of consumption besides potions and alchemy)

Seeing the rose elf sitting on his hand, Krober could hardly control his excitement, but for the sake of safety, he took another gold coin from his purse and handed it to the rose elf.

At this time, the rose elf had just eaten half of the gold coin in his hand, and Krober's second gold coin was delivered to it.

This made the simple rose elf full of good feelings for this good-looking biped.

Seeing that the elf in front of him already had a little good feelings for him, Krober directly struck while the iron was hot and asked the elf if he was willing to sign a contract with him.

Unlike the ignorant elf bug, the elf, as an evolved existence, not only has a huge improvement in intelligence, but also has the ability to actively refuse human contracts.

At the beginning, Krober relied on the Black Feather Grass Elf to fall into a deep sleep, and only then was he able to successfully make a contract with it.

Although the contract can be rejected, the elf still has no ability to interrupt the contract, even if it evolves to a big elf.

However, the nobles in this world regard elves as more important than their own fathers, fearing that the elves will not be comfortable in their hands, let alone abuse.

The elves who are about to be worshipped as ancestors naturally have no idea of ​​ending the contract.

"Do you want to conclude a partnership contract, little guy?"

As magical creatures, elves are born with the ability to conclude partnership contracts.

It's just that the elf bug is passive, while the elf can use it actively.

The rose elf looked at Krober's face, then looked at the gold coins in his hand that he had not eaten, and frowned in confusion.

Seeing this, Krober hurriedly increased his offensive, not only promising to continue to supply gold coins for it to eat in the future, but also to do his best to help it evolve to a big elf.

In this way, the rose elf agreed to conclude the contract and became Krober's important partner.

The fingertips of both parties lightly tapped, and at the moment of contact, the ability of the contract had already appeared in both parties' bodies, not only connecting their blood, but also their hearts.

"Wow!"

The rose elf became much happier after signing the contract, flapping its wings and dancing happily beside Krober.

It was not until it was a little tired that it flew to Krober's shoulder to sit and rest.

"As a partner, I will give you a name, a unique name for both of us."

Hearing this, the rose elf rubbed Krober's cheek excitedly, hoping that Krober could give it a nice name.

And Krober would definitely not let it down. In fact, the moment he saw the rose elf, Krober had thought of a name for it.

"Iglantina! Your name is Iglantina, which means wild rose, symbolizing tenacious vitality and a bright future."

"I hope your future can be like your name, with tenacious vitality and a bright future, evolving all the way to the strongest elf, and going to the top of the world with me."

Tina (hereinafter referred to as Tina) also happily hugged Krober's face after hearing this name.

Feeling the joy coming from the depths of his heart, Kroeber also smiled, touched Tina's head with his fingers, and enjoyed this joy with it.

"Tina, I decided to use you as the surname of my new family. What do you think?"

Tina tilted her head, as if she didn't understand what Kroeber meant.

"Oh, I almost forgot, you don't know what family and surname represent, I'd better think about it myself."

Kroeber patted his head. He was also overwhelmed by the joy of getting Tina, and actually forgot that Tina had no concept of family and surname.

Touched the blooming rose and experienced the unique touch.

"Let's call it Crystal Rose. From today on, the family surname I created is called Crystal Rose."

Kroeber thought that this surname was the most suitable for his requirements.
