The Journey of the Rainbow Dragon

"Ron, come here quickly, I'm waiting for you!"

"coming."

Ron agreed lazily.

He waved his little dragon wings and flew swaying among the crowd. At the same time, he secretly muttered in his heart:

"Really, they are obviously a group of long-lived species, why are they holding a celebration like short-lived species?"

For Carol and others, Ron has already prepared the materials for their dragon vein baptism.

By then, those who have been baptized with dragon blood will receive a portion of the lifespan corresponding to the real dragon.

As for the rainbow dragon's lifespan, it can only be said to be the kind of "heaven and earth will never grow old and I will never grow old".

The growth rate of normal iridescent dragons is double or even more than that of ordinary dragons (the same is true for power dragons, but time dragons are not included in this).

According to the Book of Dragons:

There was a rainbow dragon that grew very slowly and it took him a full hundred years to enter the young dragon stage from the young dragon stage!

Therefore, with the blessing of rainbow dragon blood baptism, everyone will be promoted to legend or even demigod, and their life span will also take a leap.

At that time, they were undoubtedly immortal species.

But soon, Ron was in place under Shirley's arrangement.

Due to height and space issues, Setsuna specially set up a chair for Ron, and there were four thick history books on the chair.

Looking at the upright rainbow dragon, he stood on the thick book mat and made a POSS with its dragon wings spread out.

Shirley smiled knowingly and controlled the mage's hand to point the image stone at everyone.

"Get ready, I'm going to start shooting."

"three"

"two"

When the last number is about to be said.

Shirley suddenly jumped out from the image stone, quickly rushed to the rainbow baby dragon, hugged the confused Ron's neck, put her face close to hers, and stretched out two fingers towards the image stone with a smile.

Tina and others did not expect that Shirley was still hiding this trick.

No wonder the other party took the initiative to stop him from taking photos today. It turned out that he was waiting for a sneak attack at this time!

"Ron."

"Ah! Shirley, you are so cunning!"

"That's right, how could it be like this!"

"Damn it, I want to go to my father too!"

"Owner."

The angry girls finally reacted and crowded towards Ron.

"Wait! Wait! Don't be impulsive!"

Ron looked at the crowd of people coming up with fear.

Except for Leona, the group of girls swarmed up and almost drowned Ron.

However, Shirley ignored it and still hugged Ron's head tightly. She looked in the direction of the photo stone and said the last number with a smile:

"one"

"Crack!"

Accompanied by the sound of the moving stone.

The image of the people fighting in a ball was forever frozen in this second.

——————————

After taking pictures, naturally it’s time for the highlight of the day – the New Year’s Eve dinner!

"The fish are coming~~~"

Vivian, wearing a white chef's hat and a blue apron around her waist, slowly walked out of the kitchen.

She carefully carried a large plate of steaming steamed fish to the table.

Before anyone arrived, the delicious smell had already spread to everyone.

"It smells so good!"

Tina sniffed the fragrance in the air intoxicated, and suddenly felt like her saliva was about to flow out.

She couldn't help but wipe the corners of her mouth with her hands and looked expectantly at the steamed fish brought by Vivian.

Soon, this super delicacy, which was nearly two meters long on the plate alone, was brought to the table.

The steamed fish exudes an alluring aroma on the plate.

The fish meat is white and tender, steamed and just cooked, and every piece of meat is plump and elastic.

It is sprinkled with minced onion, ginger, garlic and various unknown seasonings, giving the fish a refreshing and rich taste.

The soup of the steamed fish flows quietly on the plate, exuding a faint fragrance.

The color combination of the whole dish is simple and eye-catching, making people appetizing just by looking at it.

As a guest, Leona first carefully picked up a piece of white and tender fish belly and put it into her mouth under everyone's expectant eyes.

"Well!"

"Very delicious!"

The fish meat seemed to be dancing in the mouth, and it seemed to be melted into nothingness in an instant.

The smooth and tender taste made Leona, who was cold-faced and warm-hearted, unconsciously squint her eyes.

Seeing how drunk she was, everyone finally couldn't help it anymore, and they all picked up a piece of fish and put it in their mouths.

With one bite, the fish meat is tender and juicy, and the delicious flavor and aroma released are intoxicating.

The taste buds seem to be immersed in a sea of ​​flavors, and every bite is unforgettable.

"Delicious!"

"This is the best fish I've ever eaten."

"Vivian is so amazing!"

Everyone's eyes shone with satisfaction and admiration, and they couldn't help but praise Vivian's cooking skills.

Vivian watched everyone enjoying the food with joy. Her efforts and sweat were all transformed into this sumptuous meal.

Tina's performance was a bit exaggerated.

She actually started crying while eating!

"Woooooooooo┭┮﹏┭┮."

Shirley looked at the sobbing Tina in confusion and asked curiously:

"Tina, why are you crying? Is the fish not to your liking?"

Tina wiped away her tears and said vaguely while taking a big mouthful of fish meat:

"Uuuuuuuuah, Tina feels so sad when she thinks that she will no longer be able to eat this kind of fish."

"."

Everyone was speechless at Tina's reaction. They didn't expect that she would cry for this reason.

Ron couldn't hold back his laughter.

Even Shirley shook her head helplessly, not knowing how to evaluate this gluttonous guy.

"call out--!"

A sharp sound of cracking the air sounded outside the castle, followed by red fireworks exploding in the air.

"Well, the New Year's Fireworks Ceremony organized by the Magic Association has just begun."

Leona looked at the endless fireworks outside the window and explained softly.

There is no gunpowder in this world. This so-called "fireworks" is actually an extension of [Three Ring Magic·Fireball Technique].

Every firework in the sky was released by the hard work of the mages. Most of them were fire magic, but other types of magic also appeared occasionally.

Only on New Year's Eve are the noble masters of magic willing to present a regular magic performance to the common people.

While enjoying the food, everyone commented on the shortcomings and surprises of this year’s fireworks show.

Ron looked at the table full of delicious food, a little lost.

"I always feel like something is missing."

He murmured in his mind.

"What's missing?"

"."

The protective rune slowly rotated in his heart, and a secret emerald green light gradually attached itself to the nine-color dragon eyes.

In a trance.

Ron seemed to see a scene from another world.

The New Year there is far more grand and lively than here.

The middle-aged woman, whose face was full of traces of vicissitudes of life, was alone at the dining table, watching the endless fireworks outside the window, silently.

"I'll go out."

He suddenly stood up, spread out his dragon wings and quickly flew into the kitchen.

"Huh? Ron what's wrong?"

Carol looked at the back of the iridescent baby dragon in surprise, and looked at Vivian with some confusion.

Vivian shook her head:

"I am not sure as well"

Sudden

Vivian suddenly raised her head and looked at the sporadic human-shaped fireworks blooming outside the house, as if she had thought of something.

"Ron."

She turned around and looked in the direction of the kitchen worriedly.

The fingers hidden under her sleeves were squeezed by her unconsciously, and she did not open them until her fingertips turned white.

"Want to go in and take a look?"

Carol also seemed to realize that something was wrong. Looking at everyone who was still enjoying the delicious food, she whispered in Vivian's ear.

But Vivian's next reaction was something Carol didn't expect.

"If you don't leave him alone, we will only make him more distressed if we go in."

Vivian pursed her lips and spoke softly.

Everyone sat happily around the dining table and welcomed the new year with joy.

The table is filled with all kinds of delicious food, and the sumptuous dishes are mouth-watering.

Everyone was talking and laughing, and laughter filled the whole room.

"Huh? Where's that big color dragon?"

Tina finally realized that a certain iridescent dragon was missing from the dining table.

She looked around, but didn't find that familiar figure.

"Huh? He was obviously still here just now, right?"

Shirley also looked at the empty books in confusion.

Just when everyone also noticed Ron's disappearance.

Ron's voice suddenly came from the kitchen:

"I'm coming"

Then the cloth door curtain of the kitchen was gently lifted by the dragon's tail.

Ron slowly flew to the dining table with a strange-looking plate of food and placed it in the center of the dining table.

Tina looked at the white jade-like noodle products with unique wrinkles in the porcelain plate, and asked curiously:

"What is this? It looks weird? Can it be eaten?"

"This thing is called dumplings."

Steaming dumplings are placed on the table, exuding an alluring aroma.

The appearance of the dumplings is exquisite and attractive. Each dumpling is wrapped in a thin wrapper and has a perfect shape, like a work of art.

The sides of the dumpling are gently pinched together to form unique folds, and each fold appears to be carefully crafted.

Ron looked at the plate of memories made by himself, smiled, and continued:

"Probably. It's a special dish from the place where I was born."

Hearing this, Tina's eyes suddenly glowed:

"Wow, Tina has never eaten anything like this. I want to try it first."

Before she finished speaking, Tina reached for a fork and was about to poke a dumpling to taste it.

However, a pair of chopsticks blocked her movement.

"Um?"

Under Tina's confused gaze, Ron stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a dumpling and put it on Tina's plate.

Everyone looked at Ron in surprise.

This is the first time in his history that he has served food to others.

Ron didn't seem to notice everyone's gazes. He just looked at the plate of dumplings with nostalgia and slowly explained:

"Remember to use chopsticks when eating this."

"oh."

Tina rarely spoke back, but obediently put on the chopsticks next to her.

She tentatively touched the dumpling skin, feeling soft and smooth.

Then she picked up a dumpling and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Well!"

Tina's eyes widened.

She was surprised to find that this seemingly white ball of pasta was actually filled with delicious fillings, including vegetables, meat and various spices.

"Delicious!"

Seeing Tina's satisfied expression, everyone also picked up their chopsticks and tasted the delicious food they had never experienced before.

"It's really delicious! Well, I seem to taste the rock lamb meat cubes and green vegetables!"

Vivian's eyes lit up and she praised.

"I ate shrimp, but the fillings seem to be different?"

Carol blinked and looked at Ron.

"I've packed nine different flavors, you can like them."

Ron smiled and explained.

Everyone tasted this unique dumpling and marveled at Ron's cooking skills.

Each bite brings a different flavor, and everyone finds their favorite flavor.

Look at everyone's satisfied expressions.

Ron also took care of himself and randomly picked up a dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Is it shrimp? I'm pretty lucky."

He thought this until the next second, a slightly hard round object was bitten into pieces by him with a "click".

Ron paused suddenly.

The aroma of peanuts slowly echoes in the mouth.

"Really, I just packed one and let myself eat it."

Ron chuckled.

"Huh? Ron, are you so hot? Are you sweating from eating?"

The sharp-eyed Tina pointed at the water droplets on the chin of the rainbow dragon and said curiously.

Ron waved his hand and said with a smile:

"It's okay, I just happened to eat a dumpling stuffed with chili pepper."

Hearing this, Tina immediately cheered up

"Hmm! You even did the chili trap! Damn it, it seems Tina needs to be careful."

Tina stared carefully at the remaining dumplings on the plate with wide eyes, praying that she would not pick out the chili filling.

But until she finished eating the dumplings, she still couldn't find the dumpling filled with pepper.

"Dong dong dong!"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the Castle of Justice.

"who is that?"

Tina asked, curiously directing the constructed maid to open the door.

Under the moonlight, an elderly figure appeared in everyone's field of vision.

"Father?" X2

Carol and Leona stood up in surprise, looked at Duke Rodney's face outside the door and shouted.

"Why are you here?" X2

Duke Rodney walked in with a smile and said teasingly:

"Why, can't I come and see my precious daughters?"

"That was not what I meant."

Carol was speechless, not knowing how to answer.

Rodney shook his head and smiled:

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just here to have a meal as a visitor."

"I hope Lord Ron doesn't mind."

He raised several exquisite and luxurious dishes in his hand and shook them.

One look at the appearance of the dish, and one knew that it had just been made by a top chef. The Duke must have taken great pains to enjoy the meal.

Ron nodded without saying anything.

He turned his head and looked over Rodney's shoulder.

On the shoulders of this legendary mage stood a cute little lion-shaped monster.

The moment he saw Ron, the cute little lion left Rodney and rushed to the side of the rainbow dragon, shouting respectfully:

"Sir Ron, I'm late. It's all because of that human being who had to find someone to cook a few dishes before he came over."

It can be heard that the female sphinx, Loli Ortega, is very dissatisfied with the Duke's inking behavior.

"Uh, sorry, it's New Year, so it's hard to find a cook."

Rodney scratched his head sheepishly.

Ron shook his head and said:

"It doesn't matter, it's good if people come. After all, it's the New Year, and it's fun when everyone gets together."

Only then did Carol and Leona realize that their father's arrival was actually invited by Ron.

"Thank you."

Where no one could see, Carol winked playfully at Ron.

Ron shook his head, then pointed to the shrunken female Sphinx next to him, and explained to the confused people:

"By the way, let me introduce you."

"This is Loli Ortega, a family friend I met in the Red Earth Highlands."

After hearing that the person in front of them was the legendary Sphinx, everyone unanimously turned their curious eyes to Ortega.

Tina looked at this rare legendary beast in surprise and took the initiative to speak.

"Hello, my name is Tina. This is the first time I have seen a living Sphinx."

"Hello, my name is Ortega, and you are the third living golden dragon I have ever seen."

Lori Ortega also responded "politely".

With Tina's start, everyone also took the initiative to communicate with the Sphinx.

Especially Setsuna.

Perhaps because of her ice wolf clan origin, she and the female-faced Sphinx seemed to hit it off immediately, and the goodwill between them soared.

Soon, everyone returned to the table.

Vivian also brought two sets of cutlery and napkins to Rodney and Ortega.

"Happy New Year!"

Under Ron's initiative to raise the glass.

Everyone raised their juices, saluted each other, and blessed each other.

In the warm atmosphere, everyone tasted delicious food, enjoyed the warmth of family reunion, and welcomed the arrival of the new year.

At this moment, happiness and satisfaction filled everyone's hearts.

Just as everyone was toasting in celebration.

Sudden.

"Dong dong dong!"

There was another knock on the door.

Everyone turned their attention to Ron in tacit agreement.

The latter shook his head helplessly:

"I didn't call the second group of people."

Shirley frowned slightly:

"Who will be knocking on the door?" (End of Chapter)
