Chapter 1,189 Recall
East Pavilion, Dragon's Nest.
Like their biological relatives such as snakes and lizards, dragons are cold-blooded animals. The reason is that they do not need to take in additional food energy needed to maintain body temperature. Therefore, the appetite of dragons is not as large as most people imagine.
Of course, this refers to the amount of food required to maintain basic vital signs. If you really want to eat, this race of pot-bellied men can easily swallow food twice or three times their own weight. It was as if that stomach was a bottomless pit.
Although they are cold-blooded animals, dragons do not rely on basking in the sun to regulate their body temperature like other cold-blooded animals. The reason is that while they are cold-blooded animals, they are also powerful magical creatures. Regulating body temperature and even affecting the external environment is as instinctive to them as breathing, and they do it all the time.
However, different dragon clans have different preferences for the environment. The two major colored dragons, the red dragon and the black dragon, who are also classified as underground dragons, also have their own preferred environmental types. For example, red dragons like the heat of magma pools, so even if they don't live in a volcano, the temperature of the environment around red dragons is still relatively high.
The black dragon likes the smell of sulfur land and is not so particular about temperature. On the contrary, because they are accustomed to living in the underground world, the temperature of the environment they stay in will naturally tend to be the lower limit of what ordinary creatures prefer. Therefore, in this hot weather, the lair of the old dragon Augustus was unexpectedly cool.
The gray cat Hardy did not adapt to the living environment at first. There was a giant dragon, and it was also the most notorious black dragon among the colorful dragons. But Lao Long, who only talks about his former abilities, doesn't have any bad habits other than bragging and chatting with people about the past. It means that with its current physical strength, it can't do anything bad.
After meeting an old cat of the same age, one dragon and one cat hit it off. All they have to do is chop off chicken heads, burn yellow paper, and become brothers of different races.
So in this fierce heat wave weather, the gray cat Hardy actually fell asleep in the dragon's nest, and was so comfortable that he stuck out his tongue and turned his belly. If you don't know, you might think that the gray cat was poisoned by the black dragon, which is why it looks like this.
But one of the reasons why demon cats are popular in the southern part of the empire is that they have high poison resistance and can even identify poisons. For nobles who are afraid of being poisoned, this is the best living poison detector.
Anyway, the possibility of being poisoned is close to zero, so the only reason why the devil cat can sleep is because it feels so good...
Fortunately, although the Demon Cat's status in the Gwana Empire is high, it is not inviolable yet. Even if there is a black dragon next to him, Augustus's physical strength has deteriorated to the point where if the person who comes to trouble him moves faster, he can't even keep up with the opponent's footsteps, and he can't even threaten the person.
However, the old housekeeper still remained respectful and shook the devil cat who had slept until it was tumbling. "Lord Hardy."
Hardy, who jumped up alertly because he was touched, was at a loss for a while. When it noticed that it was the Marquise's housekeeper who woke it up, it felt relieved. While licking its front paws and combing its fur, it asked, "What's the matter? Adil."
"I wonder if you have a way to contact the Grand Magician Tripwood. There are guests coming and he needs to come forward in person."
"What kind of guest are you unable to deal with?" asked Hardy the gray cat. It has a certain understanding of human society and knows very well how powerful the Kawi family is. Although the man in front of him was only a steward from one of the branches, there was nothing that the other family couldn't do in the places Hardy had been to. What can make such a person feel embarrassed...could it be other families of the same level?
Before Hardy could guess the answer, the old butler said: "They are people from the Holy Sword Club. They must see the Great Magician. Do you know about the Holy Sword Club?"
The gray cat has lived many times longer than the average person. These experiences make it no stranger to the Holy Sword Society mentioned by the old butler. At the same time, it also knows the reason why this person feels troublesome. It also quickly thought that the other party would find a reason to come to the door, so it bared its teeth and said: "It's really troublesome. Where are the others? Are they all gone?"
"Yes. Early in the morning, Grand Duke Kawei took the lady and other magic apprentices away. It has long been determined that Lord Fen will follow." The old butler briefly explained the movements of the others.
Because someone was disturbing him, the old dragon Augustus also woke up from his nap. It slightly raised its sleepy eyelids, then closed them, and changed the direction in which it lay, obviously not wanting to meddle in other people's business.
No one was surprised by Lao Long's reaction. It can be regarded as a detached existence in this family. It eats, drinks, and brags, but it doesn't do anything. No one expected its old and disabled limbs to have much fighting power. It is a dragon that can no longer fly and still walks with a limp.
Of course Hardy knew the old dragon's difficulties, and he never thought of embarrassing an old and disabled black dragon, so he jumped off the bed of gold coins that the magician had laid for the black dragon, swayed his long tail, and walked in front of the old housekeeper. The front man said: "If I remember correctly, the adult stayed behind and the props that allow us to contact him are placed in the study. Come with me."
The prop Hardy is talking about is a red emergency button. After all, there were some special items at home, and Lin entrusted Hardy with the responsibility for their safety and storage, which was regarded as part of the work that the other party stayed to help. Such as the firearms storage room or the supervision of the ammunition depot. The emergency button is used by the cat to quickly contact someone in an emergency.
If it is too complicated, not only will the transmission be troublesome, but the magic cat may also not be easy to use. So Lin created a simple meat ball authentication and a one-click trigger mechanism. Even Hardy, who was least motivated to learn new human gadgets, knew how to operate this thing and quickly sent out warnings.
At this time, someone's data collection on space cracks has come to an end. He is just still in the air, sharing some new ideas with Fen. As soon as Hardy pressed the emergency button, a shaking warning window popped up in his field of vision. The window content records the siren that issued the warning message, as well as the time and location.
Lin glanced at it and then said to Fen: "I have something to do at home. I'll leave first and you will follow." Fen should also be able to see the same alarm content. Because the alert is directly linked to the instant messaging software, unless the former Demon King has blocked all messages.
A flash back to the study at home. Of course, the group of people who took the airship have not returned yet. The magic cat who pressed the emergency button was standing next to the small box containing the emergency button on the cabinet, and beside him was the housekeeper of Marquis Balan. Apart from that, there is no one else.
As soon as Lin appeared, the old butler Adil bowed gracefully and said, "Your Majesty the Great Magician, there are guests from the Holy Sword Society sitting in the reception room, asking to see you. Because their attitude is quite tough, so I have to ask Mr. Hardy to temporarily invite you back. I hope it doesn’t disturb you.”
