My wife is a dragon

Chapter 282 - The hero returns

Lackland Kingdom.

Almost fifty years ago, the Kingdom of Lachlan was still a vassal city-state under the rule of the Lyon Empire.

Because of the high taxes and conscription, the city of Lachlan and the city lord united and raised the banner of resistance.

The long-brewing changes merged with the expeditionary forces that also rebelled in the east, successfully overthrowing the hundreds of years of rule of the Lyon Empire.

The vast empire was torn apart from then on.

New empires and kingdoms emerged.

The Kingdom of Lachlan was given the territory in the northwest of the continent.

It is a place with fertile land and abundant crystals and metal ores.

Because the western territory is adjacent to the Dragon Country, the Kingdom of Lachlan has constant friction with the surrounding human dynasties, and the most troublesome thing for it is the dragons that run to the territory from time to time.

For this reason, the Kingdom of Lachlan issued countless commissions of crusade.

The dragons occupied their territory, stole their metal mines, and burned their homes.

Then, they captured the dragons and used their bodies to pay for their blood debts.

The conflict between races has existed since the founding of the Kingdom of Lachlan.

Until——

25 years ago.

The Kingdom of Lachlan successfully summoned a hero from another world.

The righteous hero drew out the artifact, the Demon-Repelling Sword.

As predicted, he held the artifact and repelled the Silver Dragon Queen, who was terrified on the entire Eze continent.

Unfortunately, the hero disappeared with the Silver Dragon Queen in the third year of coming to this world.

Some people say that they died together in the battle.

Some people say that the hero returned to his homeland because he completed his mission.

No one knows the truth.

Now, the hero has been gone for 22 years.

The Kingdom of Lachlan has gained 22 years of peace because of the hero's fearlessness and justice.

After the silver dragon and the hero disappeared at the same time, the disaster and invasion also disappeared.

The dragons disappeared from the border, never plundering the mines, or going to villages and towns recklessly.

According to the dragon hybrids, the dragons were warned by the black dragon ‘Neil Hawk’ from the Dragon’s Homeland.

The Kingdom of Lachlan has developed rapidly in the past 22 years.

Even though it is only one of many small countries, the development momentum of the Kingdom of Lachlan is no less than that of the largest empire in existence, the ‘Orca Empire’. More advanced magic props have penetrated the entire country, and the people have lived a life of food and clothing.

However, as a kingdom with highly developed civilization and magic, Lachlan has not forgotten its roots. They have not forgotten who liberated them from the racial war.

Praise the brave, praise the brave, and make up the deeds of the brave into a book and spread it widely.

In major towns, you can even see the statue of the young man holding the demon-killing sword and pointing the sword to the sky.

Lacklan calendar, 83rd year.

Royal City of Lachlan.

The busy streets are surging like a tide, with pedestrians and merchants in front of the shops, and the road surface made of bluestone slabs is clean and tidy.

The architectural style is still the backward medieval style, but under the interweaving of human civilization, it presents another harmonious and prosperous scenery that is no less than the modern city.

At the city gate.

The long queue of customs inspection is like the morning rush hour of the subway, with crowded heads and no end in sight.

Xia Li looked at the long and winding queue, a little desperate.

When he saw the huge magic stone hanging high at the city gate, which exuded a simple look, he was even more desperate.

There is no doubt that it is a magic detector.

And it is a very advanced magic detector.

Although it is said that the invasion and destruction brought by the dragon clan has rarely been seen in recent years, the Kingdom of Lachlan still retains this "security check" link.

Those travelers also said that this "security check" can not only detect the dragon clan and other alien races, but also identify the types of weapons and magic props carried by those entering the city.

Its intensity is almost as strong as X-ray imaging on Earth.

It's so terrifying.

Taking Lucia in will 100% expose her.

"Or..."

Lucia retreated when she saw so many procedures.

The grudge between humans and dragons cannot be eased in the past few decades.

She is still very afraid to appear in any human city on the Eze continent.

The kind of eyes that humans reject, hate, and drive her away because she is a foreign race... She doesn't want to face it.

"No or,"

Xia Li insisted on his decision, took Lucia's hand, and put it on his chest.

"I said I would take you in, and I will take you in."

It is impossible to leave Lucia alone outside.

Xia Li would rather break the magic shield covering the sky above the Lachlan King City with a sword than leave Lucia outside and go in by himself.

He doesn't want to have such a soul-destroying experience again.

What's more, he is a brave man.

Xia Li was summoned here without knowing it. For the sake of the people here and to fulfill his promise with the old king, he put himself in danger countless times.

For an ordinary earthling who can't even cut an apple, it's easy to imagine how he would feel if he was suddenly asked to draw his sword and go to the battlefield.

At that time, Xia Li really risked his life to take on the responsibility of a brave man.

Just based on that determination, the entire Lachlan Kingdom owed him a favor.

"I want to see King Lachlan I."

Xia Li walked around the long queue and went directly to the head of the line.

Such queue-jumping behavior is naturally not allowed in the young civilized kingdom.

The soldiers guarding the city were also quite strict about this, and walked over with black spears in hand.

"His Majesty is enjoying his old age, how can we meet him whenever we want?"

The soldier held the spear in front of Xia Li and drove him away.

Xia Li's face may not be familiar to these young people in their early twenties.

But the old king must know him.

"If you want to enter the city, you need to queue up behind. Merchants need to register in advance."

The young guard glanced at Xia Li and quickly saw the package of goods behind him. He judged that the other party was likely a traveling merchant who came here for the first time, so he added solemnly.

"Recently, the royal city has reduced taxes on merchants by 20%, and it also hopes that you will come here more often... As for meeting the king, forget it."

The guard's tone was not polite, just routine, and he kept waving his spear to drive Xia Li away.

The black spear was a little sharp in the sun. Lucia didn't like such behavior, but for Xia Li's fame, she didn't choose to express her dissatisfaction here, but retreated and pulled Xia Li to leave.

"...Change another way to get in. You can ask someone to call your teammates out, or send a signal or something, or secretly dig a hole in the city wall."

The clever Lucia thought of a solution in an instant.

But Xia Li shook his head and stretched his hand behind him.

"Clang--"

As the metal sound of the sword was sounded, the guards became alert.

Dare to act wild outside the current Lachlan King City, this young swordsman is also very brave.

"Meet the enemy!"

The soldier standing closest to Xia Li shouted, and within a few seconds, dozens of people swarmed out of the city gate and surrounded Xia Li.

In response, Xia Li frowned.

It doesn't matter if these people don't know him... After all, he has only been in the Aize Continent for three years.

But it is unreasonable not to recognize the sword in his hand.

The Exorcist Sword has been stuck in the land of the Lachlan Kingdom for a full fifty years.

In the era of the initial establishment of the kingdom and the chaos of war, this sword stuck in the stone was the common hope of the entire Lachlan people.

According to the prophecy, as long as the brave man who pulls out the sword appears, they will be saved.

"... I am a brave man."

Although the sword has been pulled out, Xia Li has no intention of attacking.

He weighed the sword in his hand and deliberately showed the front of the Exorcist Sword to the nearest person.

The man frowned and shouted.

"There is only one brave man in the Lachlan Kingdom!"

"I am that brave man."

"It's okay for you to be rude, but insulting a brave man is a serious crime in Lachlan!"

Xia Li: "......"

Perhaps, in the years since he left, people in the Aize Continent thought he was dead.

So, when he stood here again, they would only think he was a fake.

Xia Li glanced at the man holding a magic wand among the guards.

He thought, why not let the other party cast a magic spell to attack him to prove the authenticity of the exorcist sword.

At this moment, the crowd was in a commotion.

A woman wearing a blue robe and a huge witch hat came from a distance.

The woman was tall and although she looked a little old, her skin was well maintained. With this noble robe inlaid with gold, it was clear that her status in the Lachlan King City was definitely not low.

The soldier lowered his head and said humbly:

"Master Mage, I'm sorry... You just came back and you encountered this kind of thing. We will drive him out soon."

"For this kind of behavior that insults the hero, we will definitely punish severely..."

"Captain?"

Before the soldier finished speaking, the great mage Youni opened his eyes wide and looked at the man surrounded by the soldiers in disbelief.

More than 20 years have passed, and they are all old.

But he is still the young man in memory.

Youni called out his name tentatively, until the boy turned around and looked at her, she was three points sure that this was the person they had been waiting for for a long time.

"Captain???"

"Captain ah ah ah ah!!!"

At this time, Youni didn't care about her so-called "great mage" image. She screamed as she used to when she was young and rushed to the center of the crowd.

The soldiers hadn't reacted yet and automatically made way for the great mage.

Grand Mage Yuni is the magician in the Hero's team.

Later, the Silver Dragon Queen disappeared, the dragons retired, and everyone in the Hero's team was crowned with the highest honor in the kingdom.

Except for the Hero himself.

After all, the Hero also disappeared with the Silver Dragon Queen.

So now...

There is only one possible answer for the person who can be called "Captain" by Grand Mage Yuni.

Yuni threw away the wide and flat witch hat on his head and flew towards Xia Li. The braids under the brim of the hat fell down and hung long on his waist.

"Captain ah ah ah ah!!"

Immediately after another series of screams, Yuni pulled out the magic wand on his waist.

Her absolute proficiency made her not need any chanting at all. A ten-meter-long water dragon roared and attacked from Xia Li and her head.

Xia Li seemed to have guessed what this guy was doing, and raised the magic sword and shook it.

The magic circle was broken, and the water dragon disintegrated and disappeared in mid-air.

"It's the real captain!!"

If Yuni had only 10% doubt when she rushed over just now, then when Xia Li lightly wiped out her magic, her doubt dropped to 0%

"If it was a fake captain, it should have been dissolved just now."

Xia Li was ashamed.

This girl is just a big nerve.

When they were in the same team to fight the dragon tribe, she often made mistakes.

Humanoid self-propelled trap machine.

The most common mantra in this life:

Captain, save me! \u003e口\u003c

"Fake ones should be dissolved! According to the laws of our kingdom, anyone who insults the hero should go to hell!"

Yuni's eyes burst into tears, but she couldn't successfully rush into the captain's arms after rushing for a long time.

It always felt that there was a steel plate blocking her way.

Looking down again, Yuni saw a girl who looked... maybe just an adult?

The girl was beautiful, wearing a white fur coat, and the long cloak covered her hands.

Facing Yuni's doubts, the little girl raised her face.

The golden red eyes were a little charming in the sun, and the eyes were surprisingly sharp.

She stopped in front of Xia Li, and the eyes seemed to say: "This is my thing."

"Captain, I haven't seen you for more than 20 years. How come you have a child!!"

Yuni counted with his fingers.

In the years when the captain disappeared, it was just enough to create a little girl of 17 or 18 years old.

"This is not my daughter, this is my old..."

Xia Li was about to introduce his wife to his former mage teammate.

However, Lucia raised her foot and took a step back.

She stepped on Xia Li silently.

Xia Li frowned.

Is this planning to... stop him from saying it?

Xia Li didn't know what the dragon was worried about.

For him, it doesn't matter even if his teammates know that his wife is the silver dragon queen.

His teammates are all normal people, and everyone can understand after it is made clear.

But... Lucia may have her own ideas.

Xia Li decided not to say it for now, and he would say it after everyone arrived.

"Youni, I haven't seen you for so long, you have matured a lot."

Xia Li turned his attention to the great magician in front of him.

Although her personality has hardly changed, the reckless girl has indeed matured and stabilized.

"..."

Hearing this, Youni knelt down as if she had lost her support, with her hands on the ground, looking frustrated.

OJZ

"Captain, you still speak so tactfully..."

Or it can be said that you are sarcastic and mean.

No one has changed, including the captain.

"Are you trying to say that I'm old!"

Youni's tears were wet, and she turned back fiercely and asked.

Xia Li held her mouth and didn't say anything.

Youni was going to make a fuss.

However, after so many years of experience, she is no longer the little girl who would roll and crawl in front of the captain.

Patting her robe, Youni stood up.

Wiping away the tears of joy on her face.

Youni knew that she could not convince the captain with her own strength.

She had to gather everyone's strength.

She held a luxurious crystal staff and knocked it heavily on the ground.

She turned to the crowd and said loudly.

"Open all the city gates!!"

"Welcome our hero!!"
