In the vast Fey Wilds, there are many Fae gathering places, each with its own unique style and atmosphere.
Verdant Gardens is one of them.
This name was chosen by the Fae people who lived here. They had argued about it for a long time, and finally the eldest Tree Sprite decided on it on a full moon night.
Tree Sprite said that the meadows here glow with a soft green color all year round, and the wind blowing carries the smell of grass and nectar.
Therefore, there is no more appropriate name than Verdant Gardens.
Red Iron Dragon When he stepped out of the crack, such a wind came towards him, brushing against his face covered with scales.
The meadow spreads out at your feet, stretching as far as the eye can see.
The green waves undulate with the wind, dotted with large tracts of wild flowers.
In the distance, there are many incredibly huge ancient trees, with vine-woven bridges and treehouses hanging between their branches, with Fae's figures flying among them.
Not only that.
In this fantastic and dream-like territory, there are also some buildings made of white stone and living wood.
These are the base areas of the Aura guards.
In Verdant Gardens, in addition to the local Fae beings, Aura Dragon and other guards can often be seen.
The two-winged Dragon Race was slowly hovering at low altitude, and armored soldiers were walking in formation on the edge of the meadow.
By chance, a group of armored men was patrolling.
The Fae people holding small wine glasses sat on the backs of people and horses, using the broad backs as grassland, picnicking and chatting, their laughter drifting in the wind.
A young Dragons of Aura is lying on the meadow basking in the sun.
Pixie people treated the dragon's body as a playground, laughing and climbing up and down. Some of them diligently fed the dragon various delicacies, including scones, preserves, and berries, which were continuously delivered to the dragon's kiss.
The giant dragon half-squinted his eyes, looking quite contented.
Occasionally, he would stick out his tongue and sweep away a berry without even bothering to raise his eyelids.
Aura troops have been stationed here for hundreds of years.
At the beginning, the two sides were not familiar with each other, and they went about their own business without disturbing each other. The Faes looked at the big guys in armor from a distance, while the Aura soldiers also maintained professional caution.
But they are under the same roof after all.
As time went by, Aura warriors came into more and more contact with Fae beings. From occasional nods of greeting to sitting side by side by the campfire and sharing food, the distance shortened unconsciously.
Eventually, the current harmonious situation gradually formed.
Among the many Fae gathering places where Aura is stationed and developed, Verdant Gardens is the one with the closest relationship and the most valued by Aura. It is almost equivalent to Sacred Aura's base camp in Fey Wilds.
By the way.
Aura Legion once tried to break away from Fae and build a base camp completely independently in Fey Wilds, gaining a foothold here in its own way.
However, the plan failed.
This aspect has a very strong impact on emotions.
Even the tough-minded Aura soldiers were affected by violent mood swings and found it difficult to abide by regimental discipline. They were alternately irritable and frustrated, making the original strict order chaotic.
When I live with Faes, I don't have this problem.
Fey Wilds's Fae, not to mention those twisted evil spirits like Griefwrath Fairy, all normal Fae have special powers.
Creatures who get along with them can feel comfortable and happy from the bottom of their hearts.
There won't be too many dramatic ups and downs in emotions.
In short.
After so many years of development, due to various reasons, Aura has gradually formed a symbiotic and win-win way of existence in Fey Wilds with Fae gathering place.
They depend on each other and accomplish each other.
Phew!
The folding of the wings brought about a gust of wind, and the wildflowers on the meadow were weighed down by the air current and then bounced up, and the green waves spread out in all directions.
Garos landed in the middle of the meadow, and its huge body completely separated from the space crack.
There was silence for a moment.
Dragons of Aura folded their wings and lowered their heads. The guards suppressed their inner excitement and saluted solemnly to express their respect for the emperor, and then continued to perform their tasks and do their own things.
Then, an exclamation broke the tranquility of the meadow.
"It's Red Emperor!"
"Loyalty! Loyalty!"
"The great Red Emperor Pale Star is coming!"
The sounds came and went.
The entire gathering place instantly became lively.
One by one, Fae emerged from the ancient branches and leaves, flew out from the flowers, and converged into a colorful torrent rushing towards Red Iron Dragon.
"Welcome to Verdant Gardens!"
"We have honey and dew for you!"
"And there are berries! We just picked them from the forest, the largest and sweetest varieties. We have specially reserved them for you to try!"
"Wow, Your Majesty, your scales are brighter than before. It's as if they have been scrubbed by the moonlight. Hehe, hehe, it feels so smooth. Can you let us touch it for a while--"
A group of Faes came up and offered praises and greetings in all directions, their voices intertwined in a messy manner.
Garos lowered his head.
In Material Plane, he is the emperor, Red Emperor Pale Star who killed Demon King.
The dignity is profound and inviolable.
Except for a few blood relatives and subordinates, others did not even dare to breathe too heavily when they saw him, their eyes were full of awe and distance.
However, Fey Wilds and Fae do not have this sense of distance.
They surrounded Red Iron Dragon, not afraid of his size and majesty, and expressed their welcome to him in the way that belonged to Fae, without reservation or concealment.
Garos does not dislike this atmosphere, but feels relaxed.
Suddenly, a Brownleaf Goblin jumped on a stone, raised his arms high, and shouted with all his strength, "For the arrival of Red Emperor, we are going to hold a feast! A carnival!"
Faes blinked their eyes, and then cheered one after another.
"Carnival! Carnival!!"
"Feast!! A feast bigger than all previous festivals combined!!"
"Bring out all the barrels! All of them!"
"Cake! I'm going to bake a cake that's bigger than a house! It's going to be covered with a whole mountain of berries, and it's going to be topped with a river of honey!"
The cheers grew louder and louder, filling the entire meadow.
A very small Fae flew in front of Red Iron Dragon, only as big as a palm, with wings as transparent as tulle, and asked in a thin voice, "Your great Majesty! Will you attend the banquet with us? Will you?"
Faes, be quiet.
Countless pairs of shining eyes looked at the giant dragon, their eyes full of expectation and curiosity.
Garos grinned, revealing sharp teeth.
"Then have a great time partying."
"I'll be here, with you, until the fire burns to ashes."
he said.
The cheers rang out again, louder than before, and the Faes turned around in groups. At this moment, a clear voice came from far away and came closer.
"Master Vera is here!"
The voice was exaggerated and the tail end rose, and he said, "You little goblins, why don't you give way quickly? Are you going to wait for Master Vera to sweep you away with his tail?"
The lively meadow suddenly became quiet, and then the Faes retreated to both sides.
"Hey! It's Master Vera!!"
"Quick, quick, give way!"
"Don't block the road, don't block the road, Master Vera will be very angry!"
They opened a wide passage in the middle of the meadow. Their movements were neat and fast, as if they had practiced it countless times. The meadow was divided into two halves, with a straight gap exposed in the middle.
At the end of the passage, a Fairy Dragon is hovering in mid-air.
Her size is larger than most Fae, but she is still mini and small overall, making her look insignificant in front of a real dragon.
But her appearance is still very eye-catching.
The dragon scales gradually change, from the deep indigo on the back to the light violet on the wingtips, and glow with iridescent light in the sun, as if a piece of sunset has condensed on the body.
Fairy Dragon Vera.
The guardian of Verdant Gardens, one of the most beloved beings of Fae in this land.
Vera flew towards Red Iron Dragon in the middle of the meadow.
When Fae saw this, they immediately dispersed and rushed in groups to prepare for the feast and reception. In the blink of an eye, the meadow became much empty.
Garos crouched on the grass and watched Fairy Dragon fly towards him.
"Master Vera can make many Fae retreat with just one word. He is so majestic. I am afraid that even some Primordial Dragon can't match this momentum."
he joked.
However, Vera stopped in front of the dragon but did not answer, just stared at him.
His eyes were unblinking, his gaze tightly locked on Red Iron Dragon's face. Fairy Dragon squinted his eyes, his dragon's kiss slightly opened, revealing a row of sharp little teeth.
"Humph."
A cold snort.
Then there was another sound.
"Hmph!"
She turned her head away, then folded her wings and hugged her side, assuming a cold posture.
Garos is a little confused.
Under normal circumstances, after Vera hears his own praise, he will proudly raise his head, flap his wings, and then use a tone of "you finally see my essence" and follow his words to praise himself from various angles.
But this reaction now is obviously not right.
"You seem to be in a bad mood."
Garos brought his head closer. "What, has anyone provoked Verdant Gardens's guardian? Say the name and I will take care of it."
The voice fell.
Vera turned around and flew around Red Iron Dragon's head.
After circling a few times, she suddenly stopped and hung directly in front of the tip of Garos's nose. She stood upright with her two front paws folded on her chest and her expression was serious.
"Garos."
"Tell me honestly, are you hanging out with other Fairy Dragon outside?"
Vera looked straight at Red Iron Dragon and said.
This question has no beginning or end.
He looked at Vera doubtfully, making sure she was not joking. "Why do you ask that?"
"You still ask me why?"
Fairy Dragon bared his teeth and said, "In recent years, there has been a Fairy Dragon, with the signature of Red Emperor engraved on its body, flying around Fae gathering places, showing off everywhere, with its tail raised higher than the sky."
"And it's not just about showing off your signature."
"He will tell some stories about fighting with Red Emperor and guarding Material Plane together! He tells it as if it is true, even the details are made up! Everywhere he goes, he is surrounded by Fae."
"Even Verdant Gardens and Fae went to listen to it once and came back full of praise in front of me!"
"You don't even know that my limelight has been stolen.
Garos is silent.
He probably knew what was going on.
Showing off the signed Fairy Dragon at major Fae gathering places, who else could it be besides Naitar?
This Fairy Dragon God seems to be really proud to get a signature of the Legendary Realm Destiny Rank. The logic of his behavior cannot be speculated by common sense. He probably has no idea how strange it is to do such a thing due to his identity.
"Have you never thought that these are all rumors?"
Garos said, "The so-called signature of Red Emperor may be just fabricated."
Vera's eyes lit up.
She raised her head and moved forward tentatively, the tip of her tail slightly raised, and her voice became expectant.
"Hey, Garos, is this a rumor? Those stories were all made up by the shameless Fairy Dragon, right? Didn't you sign autographs for other Fairy Dragon?"
Vera asked expectantly, ready to cheer at any time.
Garos lowered his gaze and looked at her seriously, with a serious and sincere expression.
"No."
He said, "Let me clarify, this is not a rumor. I did carve a signature on the wings of a Fairy Dragon. I did it by hand and the handwriting is clear."
Vera's expression froze.
Her wings were hovering in the air, her pupils were slightly dilated, and her body was stiff, as if frozen in place by a time spell. Then, the corners of her mouth curved down, showing an expression of despair.
"You----you really have another Fairy Dragon outside. I am no longer Red Emperor's only Fairy Dragon good partner."
"I knew, I knew this day would come----"
Fairy Dragon slowly fell to the ground.
She fell on the soft grass, her tail spread out, her wings drooped, and she seemed to have lost all her strength.
"The great Red Emperor has forgotten all the past, and who was with him when he was a boy stealing honey, chasing each other in the dusk, and singing and dancing under the moon----"
"Those days and those memories have been covered with new glory.
Wait, where did these memories come from?
Why don't I remember doing these things with you?
Red Iron Dragon watched Vera perform.
Fairy Dragon covered his face with his wings, his body trembled slightly, and his voice sobbed. "I should have expected this day. The great Red Emperor has flown to a wider world, and the old partners will only be gradually forgotten——"
"In the end, poor Vera could only huddle in a dark corner alone."
"Keeping the fading memories, listening to the legend about Red Emperor carried in the wind----"
"No one remembers me----no one comes to visit me----I can only count the remaining days, one fallen leaf after another, and live a miserable life----"
After the words fell, Fairy Dragon's body tilted and fell softly.
Her limbs were spread out, her tongue was halfway out of the corner of her mouth, her eyes were closed, and she looked like she was haggard and dead.
Garos looked at Fairy Dragon collapsed on the grass and sighed.
"You were so good, why did you die suddenly? Alas, life and death are unpredictable, and God's will is unpredictable."
"But it's okay. The scenery here is beautiful and the meadows are soft. It's a good place to end up. If I pass by in the future, I can pick a few wild flowers and put them on your grave."
After saying that, the dragon dug with its claws and dug a deep pit.
He pushed Fairy Dragon into the pit with a gentle push, and then began to backfill the surrounding soil, and the soil fell thinly on Vera.
Whoosh!
The small figure rose into the sky, bringing up a piece of grass clippings and soil.
"Bah, bah, bah!"
Vera spat out the pebbles in his mouth and howled loudly. "Red Iron Dragon, who is born evil, you are so cold and heartless. Not only did you forget your former partner, you even wanted to bury her alive!"
"As expected, he is the cold and heartless Evil Dragon, his heart is harder than a stone!"
"Ah, I'm really pissed off this time!"
After howling a few times, she fell to the grass with a thud, pretending to be dead again, with her paws in the air, her eyes closed, and her tongue even more crooked.
"Stop acting in sensational dramas."
Garos stopped joking with Fairy Dragon and said bluntly, "That Fairy Dragon is Naitar."
A moment.
Vera's eyes opened suddenly, a trace of surprise flashed across his pupils.
She jumped up from the grass with a whoosh, her four claws landed firmly on the ground, her wings spread out, and she came back to life with full health.
"Naitar?!"
She repeated the name through gritted teeth, with anger burning in her pupils. "It's him again! A nasty guy who talks about running around! A bastard who enjoys playing tricks on other Fae!"
This word seems to be more than suitable for describing Naitar.
Garos looked at Vera and found that she didn't think there was anything wrong at all and still waved her front paws indignantly.
At the same time, Vera searched for the most vicious words and cursed viciously, "He is like a slimy slug with golden scales!"
There is no lethality at all.
Vera's snarling was like being coquettish.
Garos shook his head slightly and thought to himself.
Finally, Vera looked up at the sky, took a deep breath, and slowly calmed down his emotions.
"Anyway, I remember him, and sooner or later I will come back with revenge."
"Remember this account first, interest is compounded and will never be reduced or reduced. Even if you are a god, you will have to bear a heavy price if you dare to make Lord Vera unhappy."
She imitated Red Iron Dragon's deep expression, lowered her voice and tried to maintain a majestic posture.
Bang bang bang!
There was applause.
"Good! Very energetic!"
"I support you in taking revenge on Naitar! Revenge him severely! Let him taste the feeling of being insulted!"
Hearing these words, Vera nodded immediately.
"Yes, yes, I want him to know that Master Vera is not something that can be easily provoked! I want him to make a fool of himself in front of all Fae."
As she said that, she called out, "By the way, who are you? Your voice sounds familiar——"
Stopped abruptly.
Vera opened his eyes wide, and the scene gradually taking shape in front of him was reflected in his pupils.
In front of him, a vortex silently rotated and opened, rainbow light flowed, petals and stardust floated out from the vortex, and the golden Fairy Dragon head just emerged from it, with an innocent smile on his face.
Two Fairy Dragon big eyes stare at small eyes.
"Me? We meet again, I am Naitar."
"The declaration you just made is really powerful and inspiring. It's so passionate. I support your revenge Naitar! We can make plans together."
"But do you have any good ideas?"
"The great Naitar likes to hear interesting prank ideas the most. The more tricky they are, the more to his liking. He will even applaud you after hearing them."
The golden Fairy Dragon said with a serious face, his words did not match his words.
