The Journey of the Rainbow Dragon

royal capital

At night in the Opal District, bustling and quiet coexist.

The commercial streets are brightly lit and bustling with people coming and going.

But the aristocratic residential area was extremely quiet, and the aristocrats fell asleep early.

In order to maintain the tranquility of the residential area, the royal capital specially dispatched special guards to garrison.

These guards have strict duties. They will prohibit noisy merchants from entering so as not to disturb the rest time of the nobles.

They stood at the entrance of the noble residential area, ready to ensure the peace and safety of the nobles.

The Castle of Justice is located on the edge of the noble residential area.

At this time, the castle was filled with aroma, and it was dinner time.

“Tina, it’s time to start dinner——”

Shirley stood at the stairs wearing a brand new silver chef's uniform, holding a silver spoon, and shouted towards the third floor.

It's rare that Miss Yinlong doesn't have any entertainment tonight.

She usually works on "Hearthstone" and stays busy until late at night before going home. She is the ultimate workman.

She came home early today and decided to come to the kitchen to help Vivian and Setsuna prepare dinner together.

In the kitchen

Vivian and Setsuna were busy next to the stove.

They are preparing the last dish of dinner - beef brisket and pumpkin soup.

"Setsuna, is the beef cut yet?"

"It'll be ready soon, only the last few pieces are left."

Vivian looked up at Setsuna, smiled and nodded.

Vivian used her mage's hand to help wipe away the sweat on Setsuna's forehead, and said with a smile:

"Thank you for your hard work, we can enjoy the delicious food after finishing this dish."

She knew that Setsuna was a very careful and hard-working person who always took cooking very seriously.

The Royal Capital Magic Academy is on New Year’s holiday

All teachers and students enjoy a two-month holiday, and the new semester does not start until February of the following year.

During the time when they are not in school, Vivian and Carol meditate and practice magic in the Castle of Justice every day.

They used this time to concentrate on improving their magical abilities.

Carol's father, [Poseidon] Duke Green, would occasionally come to visit.

In addition to bringing a lot of rare ingredients every time, this old mage who reconciled with his daughter would also "incidentally" give guidance on the magic practice of his daughter and Vivian.

The guidance of the legendary mage is something you can only meet but cannot ask for. The strength of Vivian and Carol can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds during this period of time.

Carroll is now on his way to being promoted to the rank of mage.

Her magic talent was already quite good, but because she had wasted several years, her cultivation progress was slightly delayed.

Now that she has returned to the Green family, she can almost be said to have a steady stream of training resources.

Coupled with the guidance of the legendary mage Duke Green, her water magic has improved rapidly, with different improvements and breakthroughs every day.

Today, Carol went to apply for magister promotion review, but has not come back yet.

This means that she is undergoing rigorous testing and evaluation to determine whether she meets the conditions for promotion to Magister.

The sumptuous dinner tonight was also because of her.

Everyone is silently cheering for her, hoping that she can successfully pass the review and become a real magician.

And similarly, the current Vivian is also different from the past.

With the blood of the iridescent dragon, she has mastered all the general magic of levels 1-5 taught in the academy, as well as two powerful six-level magic: [Fire Empowerment] and [Ice Empowerment].

[Fire Empowerment] allows Vivian to control the power of fire, condense the fire into various forms, and launch powerful fire attacks.

Well. Vivian often uses it to bake sweet potatoes and cook rice recently, and it has received unanimous praise. It can be regarded as an alternative development technique.

[Ice Empowerment] gives Vivian the ability of frost. She can summon ice, ice and snow storms, and even condense water in an instant to create freezing attacks.

This magic can not only be used in combat, but can also be used to solve various environmental and life problems.

Such as freezing lakes, making ice drinks, etc.

In addition, Vivian also hides excellent melee abilities, and her true combat power is infinitely close to the level of the Great Mage!

But now Vivian’s position is the chef of the Castle of Justice~~

This girl with silver hair and red eyes is currently wearing a chef's uniform and a white hair hat, and is busy working in the kitchen.

She divided her mind between two tasks, carefully controlling the heat of the fireball technique in her hands while skillfully manipulating the mage's hands to add various accessories and spices to the pot.

Vivian loved magic, but she also loved the art of cooking.

As the current chef of the Castle of Justice, she strives to balance work and her own hobbies, preparing delicious food for the dragons and people in the Castle of Justice.

A rich aroma wafts from the pot.

"Dang Dang Dang"

The crisp and regular sound of chopping vegetables sounded around Vivian.

That was Setsuna performing her superb sword skills.

She was holding a sharp kitchen knife, and her chopping movements were so fast and precise that they almost became a phantom.

Niu Nan was quickly cut into the perfect shape Vivian needed under her knife.

Every square piece of beef cut out by her knife is of equal size, without any difference!

Setsuna was still wearing the black and white maid outfit that Ron had praised.

The fluffy blue wolf ears and tail poked out from the special holes on the clothes and hairpins, trembling very cutely.

After learning that the real dragon owner liked this style, she customized a hundred sets of identical outfits and rotated them every day.

However, in order to prevent oil stains from splattering on her clothes while cooking, she put on an extra light blue apron.

Doing this will keep your outfit tidy while also adding a cute touch of style.

During this time, Setsuna learned a lot of cooking skills from Vivian and the constructed dolls.

Setsuna has made great progress while learning cooking skills from Vivian and the Constructed Doll.

She has now achieved some success in her food-making skills, and will no longer put a whole jar of salt in her dishes like she did before, as if she were committing murder.

(Ron almost died from the salt-baked chicken legs with a whole can of salt added that day, but he still endured the discomfort and finished the first dish Setsuna made.

There was no other way, because there was a little ice wolf standing next to her that kept wagging her tail. Her expectant little eyes were so pitiful. )

The three beauties were busy preparing a delicious dinner, and the spacious kitchen was a busy scene.

"Coming! Coming!"

Tina's excited voice came from upstairs.

The time when the dragon was cooking will always be the best moment in my memory.

"boom!"

The closed door was kicked open.

A snow-white little foot landed on the camel red velvet carpet, making a rustling sound.

"Uh-huh~~~~~Tina is coming soon, don't eat while I'm away!"

The barefoot girl wearing a moon-white robe trimmed with gold shouted and stumbled out of the room.

At this time, the light in the room shined on her through the thick curtains, causing her nightgown to slowly emit a faint golden light.

It can be seen from her sleepy expression and messy platinum blond hair that this golden dragon lady has obviously just gotten up.

She yawned and ran towards the stairs, ready to join the cooks downstairs.

"Shirley, wait for me, I'll be down soon!"

The girl had just woken up, and some hoarse shouts echoed in the empty room.

As she ran, she gently pulled back her messy platinum-blonde hair with her hands, trying her best to make herself look tidier.

Although Tina has not bathed for several days, her long hair is still very soft.

When passing the long-closed room next to the stairs, Tina suddenly slowed down.

Looking at the silver-plated door handle that was wiped clean every day.

Jin Longniang curled her lips unhappily.

"Big Selong!"

"The Big Bad Dragon!"

"Not back today!"

The more Tina thought about it, the angrier she became, and finally she stopped in front of Ron's room door, put her hands on her hips and began to count his various crimes:

"You're a big liar. You don't know how to keep the true dragon's promise. You promised to come back in seven days, but it ended up being two seven days! I didn't even see a single dragon scale."

She muttered dissatisfiedly: "Huh! We obviously made an appointment to go to the dragon auction together... so I was laughed at by the annoying guys in the dragon tavern for not having a companion."

Unlike the five-color dragons, they are all solitary.

Metal dragons usually stay with their relatives and friends. For rare events like the Dragon Auction, everyone usually goes with their friends.

If it were before, Silver Dragon Shirley, Copper Dragon Carl, and Bronze Dragon Tali would definitely be willing to accompany Tina to this event.

But now Shirley is busy with the business (intelligence) operations of "Hearthstone Cards" and can't spare any time to play with her.

Carl and Tully returned to Dragon Island early because they were about to reach 50 years old, and went to the homes of their respective dragon elders to start the third sleep promotion of dragon life.

[The elders here are not necessarily parents. All elders of metal dragons of the same kind welcome children of the same race to sleep and advance under their protection. 】

When they come back next time, these two teenage metal dragons will become young dragons.

Suddenly, the little golden dragon's eyes lit up: "By the way, Tina can curse you, this bad dragon!"

She clapped her hands and thought excitedly: "Well... what should I curse?"

[Accidentally lost gold coins]? [Go out and step on dog poop]? [The food that goes into your mouth right away spoils]? …

"Evil" thoughts flashed through Tina's mind.

Tina couldn't help but giggle at the thought of that annoying guy being "cursed" to look desperate.

She secretly pondered which curse method she should choose, full of mischievous joy and anticipation.

Now is Jin Long Niang’s fantasy time~~

"Tina, if you don't come down, we're going to finish the meal!"

Silver Dragon Shirley's voice came from downstairs, and the growling stomach and the aroma of food also forcibly interrupted Jin Longniang's fantasy.

Tina immediately put away all distracting thoughts and hurried downstairs.

The sky is huge and the food is the biggest. It’s not too late to curse the dishonest rainbow dragon after you’ve had your fill.

"We're going to finish eating soon~"

Silver Dragon Shirley's voice sounded again, her words full of ridicule.

"Wow! Shirley doesn't want it! Leave some for Tina! I haven't eaten yet today!"

Tina took the stairs three at a time and shouted anxiously as she quickly went downstairs.

She was actually about to enter the deep sleep period recently, but for some reason, she still managed not to return to Dragon Island, but instead increased her daily rest time.

This also caused Tina to change from three meals a day to one, and spend most of her time resting in the bedroom.

"call--"

Tina ran up the long stairs and pushed open the door of the restaurant.

A strong aroma of food hit her face, and Miss Jinlong was dazzled by the dazzling array of dishes.

"Wow! There are so many things I like to eat!"

Tina's eyes lit up as she looked at the dining table, and her mouth watered.

The warm stone fireplace was burned brightly by the constructed maids, and not a trace of the cold air from the winter in the imperial capital invaded the Castle of Justice.

Others had already taken their seats at the rectangular fragrant wood dining table filled with food.

The seats surrounding the dining table, from left to right, are: Ice Wolf Clan Setsuna, Human Vivian, Silver Dragon Shirley, and Constructed Humanoid Hermione.

four people

Four different races sit at the same table.

This combination is extremely rare in the star realm.

But everyone tacitly agreed not to move their chopsticks.

"Congratulations to Miss Sleepy Tina for being the last one to arrive."

Hermione, who was sitting at the end of the right hand side, complained expressionlessly.

What kind of owner there is will be what kind of structure.

Hermione's complaining skills are now rapidly approaching Ron's direction.

Although there is no need to eat to construct a human form, except for the cooks, Hermione is the first person to arrive at the restaurant and sit down every time.

Hermione didn't like making people wait for her.

But she is happy to wait for others, but this child can "occasionally" have a bit of a venomous tongue towards latecomers.

"Hmph! Obviously Carol hasn't come yet, I'm not the last one!"

Tina ran to her seat in the middle, pulled out the bench and sat down, while defending herself.

Silver Dragon Shirley, who was sitting next to her, thoughtfully helped Tina tie the anti-stain napkin and explained to her with a smile:

"Ms. Carroll has just sent a message. She still has some unfinished exams for the advanced magister, and she may not be able to come back until very late."

The soft white velvet napkin tied in front of Tina's dress obscured the towering mountain peaks.

Although Tina’s platinum pajamas of epic quality have their own cleansing function, a sense of ritual is still required.

"The teacher asked us to start first without waiting for her."

Vivian also explained softly, while pouring another glass of water for Tina.

She was still wearing the solid-color robe that Ron gave her today, and her long, shiny silver hair was tied behind her back with a red hair rope, giving her a bit of a girl-next-door feel.

"Oh fine."

Tina breathed a sigh of relief, and her mood gradually calmed down.

"Then let's have dinner!"

Tina picked up the chopsticks and looked at everyone and shouted impatiently.

The dragon's stomach has protested to her several times. If she doesn't give it a job, the stomach acid will rebel.

Everyone smiled and started to taste the food on the table.

I saw Tina holding a delicious roast duck leg in her left hand, while her right hand kept holding roasted rock lamb slices in her mouth, while her eyes searched for other delicacies.

When Miss Jinlong suddenly found a plate of her favorite mango pudding in the center of the table, she instantly felt like the dragon's stomach was roaring in her stomach.

Tina felt like she had been hungry for several years, so she ate this meal so deliciously that her hands almost had afterimages when picking up vegetables and meat.

Seeing her look like a hungry dragon pounced on food, everyone couldn't help but take a few more bites.

Vivian has eaten very little recently.

Tonight, she only picked up a small portion of rice, put down her chopsticks after tasting a bowl of pumpkin porridge, and then started helping Tina pick up the vegetables.

Seeing that Tina had been staring at the mango pudding in the middle, but showed an expression of being embarrassed to keep it to herself.

Vivian smiled, got up and walked to the kitchen:

"The other mango pudding should be ready. I'll go to the kitchen to get it. This one is specially prepared for Tina~"

Hearing this, Tina's eyes suddenly lit up:

"Woooooo! Woooooo~~" (Translation: Great! Vivian, you must be sent by the Dragon God to save me, right! I love you so much~~)

With her mouth full of food, Tina muttered her gratitude, but unfortunately no one could understand her except herself.

"Did you hear about it? It is said that in order to complete the twelve trials issued by the king, someone hired more than a dozen master-level mercenaries to enter the Ibi Forest. However, a month has passed and even the figures have disappeared."

Shirley said with a smile while elegantly tasting the Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup.

Vivian nodded and poured another glass of water for Tina:

"It seems that this is the case. Recently, the royal capital has been in a fuss because of the trial. Everyone is working hard to complete trial-related task commissions. As a result, the prices of vegetables and World of Warcraft meat on the market are very expensive. few."

Setsuna was originally concentrating on a large plate of colorful kebabs in front of her, but after hearing this topic, she also twitched her furry ears:

"The master also said before he left that the humans in the Rose Kingdom will do whatever it takes to complete these trial tasks in order to win the throne. However,"

"But what?"

Everyone looked at Setsuna curiously.

Ron didn't seem to talk about the Twelve Trials during the meal. He didn't seem to be very interested in things like this related to the human country.

Setsuna swallowed the last bite of the colorful pepper kebab, raised his head, thought for a moment and said:

"But the master also said that the next king will definitely not be these idiots. These people are just helping out for free."

"I didn't expect him to have a thorough understanding of this aspect."

Shirley smiled unexpectedly. No one here knew the undercurrents in the upper echelons of the Rose Kingdom better than she did.

With the information source of the Hearthstone Tavern and the Green and Hart families, she can almost be said to be the most well-informed person in the capital.

The current situation of the king's election is actually very clear. Apart from the daydreaming mercenaries and minor nobles, there are actually only three forces that are steadily advancing the progress of the trial.

And behind these three people are all royal personnel!

The eldest prince Noah has sent a large number of private soldiers, and has completed three trial missions. It seems that he is currently gathering troops in the North Sea to defeat the legendary sea beast.

The third prince Henry controlled more than a dozen large mercenary groups and secretly completed two trial tasks.

However, this person is very scheming and is said to be secretly in contact with the Rex family, which controls one of the Five Color Legions [Blue Legion]. His thoughts cannot be judged just from the number of tasks.

Also eyeing the throne is the Kingdom's number one Red Dragon Knight, the Sixth Princess of Rose, Pandora, who is famous for her beauty.

However, the sixth princess has been very peaceful recently. She has not completed a single trial so far, and Shirley doesn't know what this guy's plan is.

"The master is always right."

Hermione said calmly while drinking coffee.

She absolutely believed in every word Ron said, and her loyalty was higher than that of a crazy fan.

"Hermione, if you drink coffee, will your stomach be able to digest it? You won't have to vomit it out after eating, right?"

Tina said doubtfully while stuffing chicken legs into her mouth.

Miss Jinlong knows nothing about construction.

"Idiot Tina, Master has set up food digestion function for me."

"Besides, I eat in moderation so that I won't be like you until my belly bulges and I lie motionless on the bed!"

Hermione kept holding the coffee cup and retorted expressionlessly.

Tina's eyes suddenly widened:

"Well! When did you see it! Don't talk nonsense like that big bad dragon!"

"I will see you tomorrow"

Hermione didn't hesitate to expose Tina's embarrassing story.

Everyone watched the bickering between them and couldn't help bursting into laughter.

While enjoying the delicious food, everyone exchanged recent interesting news, and joyful laughter filled the Castle of Justice.

With the help of the large plate of mango pudding, Tina finally returned to eating normally.

With a smile on her face, she held a special white porcelain plate and scooped out the smooth mango pudding with a small spoon one by one, while enjoying the food and the company of her friends.

"Click!"

Suddenly, there was a crisp sound at the door of the restaurant, and the silver-plated handle was slowly twisted.

Everyone turned to look at the door that slowly opened.
