Wayne sat by a fire, roasting a wild boar leg in one hand, and with the other hand he kept sprinkling various seasonings and spices on the cut wild boar leg, slowly rotating it.
Under the scorching flames, a strong aroma of meat began to spread.
In order to avoid mistreating himself with food when traveling, he prepared a lot of cooking supplies, especially seasonings.
Just as he was somewhat intoxicated by the strong aroma of the roasted wild boar leg, a gray, puppy-like little creature suddenly poked its head out of the nest.
Her watery eyes stared at Wayne, or to be more precise, the roasted wild boar leg in his hand. After hesitating for a few seconds, her appetite overcame her fear.
This little guy with delicate scales on his body, stepped on his two short legs, ran to Wayne's side, tilted his head to look at the roasted wild boar leg dripping with oil, and let out a woooooooo howl in a childish voice.
Dragons are indeed powerful beasts. Less than ten hours after crawling out of the dragon egg, this little dragon cub was already able to run around all over the ground.
Looking at this little creature who was only the size of a puppy of three or four months old, and seeing that she seemed very greedy for the barbecue, Wayne cut a small piece of the barbecue with a knife, pinched it with his hands and put it to the little dragon's mouth.
It seemed that the little girl had inherited the gluttonous bloodline like her mother. She swallowed the small piece of roast meat in one gulp without any hesitation.
Woo woo woo! The temperature of the barbecue was still a little high. After swallowing the barbecue, the little guy howled, raised his head, flapped his palm-sized wings, and turned around several times in place before swallowing it.
But soon, the little guy came up to Wayne again and rubbed his bald little head against his thigh. He seemed to have become addicted to the smell of the barbecue and wanted to get more barbecue from him in this flattering way.
When Borch came out of the cave, he found Wayne holding his daughter, tickling her chin with his fingers and stuffing pieces of roast meat into the little girl's mouth like training a dog.
The little guy who ate the barbecue also let out a howl of joy, obviously conquered by this delicious meat.
This is normal. Although many sub-dragons feed on raw meat and carrion, the dragons that can really breathe dragon flames usually roast the meat with flames before eating it.
As for the golden dragon Bolch, he had been served by the Zerekan tribe for decades and had become accustomed to eating the cooked food they offered him. He rarely ate the bloody, uncleaned raw meat.
Probably because it was the first person the little dragon saw after it was born, it was very close to him. When it saw Borch coming, it immediately jumped out of Wayne's arms and came to its father's side.
Borch held the little dragon in his arms with joy and stroked her head gently. His face was full of sincerity and love, and he didn't mind at all that this was not his biological child.
Wayne handed Borch a bunch of roasted pork ribs and watched him feed the little dragon bit by bit. He actually liked this warm scene and asked, "Hey! My friend, what do you think?"
"Milgata Blake's injuries have begun to improve. We don't even have to wait for the Dragon Hunting Team to arrive. We can leave here."
"What are you going to do?"
Hearing this, Borch frowned and thought for more than ten seconds, then looked at the cute little dragon in his arms and said in a deep voice, "I originally wanted to leave and not have anything to do with these humans anymore, but as a husband and a father, if I leave like this, how can I explain this to my wife and children when I recall this in the future?"
"Tell them that their father and husband is a coward?"
Wayne nodded, without comment, and asked softly, "So, do you want to fight?"
Borch nodded firmly, but he still remained rational. He looked at Wayne and said, "I don't want to cause the death of innocent people, nor do I want to cause disputes between different countries and cause war."
"If possible, my friend, I hope you can bring those who want to slay the dragon and kill my wife here."
"I can have a fair fight with them, and I will defeat them and prove my ability and courage."
After Borch finished speaking, Wayne suddenly heard a system prompt coming from his brain.
Ding! [Save the Green Dragon, Mirgata Blake] has been completed, triggering the quest chain, [Husband's Dignity], expert level.
Tip: Completing the entire task chain will improve the quality of the task rewards, and all rewards will be issued after the task is completed.
After hearing the system prompt, Wayne only thought for a few seconds before accepting the task.
Whether it is for the sake of maintaining his friendship with Borch or to increase the rewards for subsequent missions, he has to take on this mission.
Although Wayne also wanted to see what treasures would appear in the master-level treasure chest, he was a patient man and could still endure it.
After thinking for a few seconds and recalling the general plot of the original book, Wayne nodded and said to Borch:
"No problem, my friend. You stay in the cave and take care of your wife and children. I will go to the dragon hunting team to gather intelligence."
"If I get any news or make any progress, I will send you a signal and we will discuss specific measures at that time."
Borch smiled sincerely and said to Wayne with gratitude: "This trip to the north is definitely the most rewarding trip in my life. Not only did I gain a family, but I also made a best friend."
"Wayne, my friend, you should be careful too. If you are in danger, call me at any time. I will always stay by your side."
Wayne shook his head with a confident smile on his face, and said softly, "Don't worry, my friend, I am not a reckless person. And don't underestimate a demon hunter. A demon hunter who is fully prepared will not be afraid of any challenge."
………………
Unable to stand the unpleasant smell in the cave, Wayne took a rest by the campfire for a while. After dawn the next day, he set out to join Geralt in the dragon hunting team.
On the other hand, the dragon hunting team spent a very peaceful night without any accidents, but hidden beneath this calm were countless intrigues and conflicts of interest.
Although Geralt became Yennefer's bodyguard, the sorceress was very keen to see her ex-boyfriend suffer a setback because of her anger.
At night, the two lived in the same tent, and Yennefer was dressed quite sexy and revealingly. But before going to sleep, she raised her hand and cast a transformation spell on the restless white wolf.
This famous witcher was turned into a guard dog covered in white fur, and a barrier was set up on his bed, so that poor Geralt could only keep watch in the tent and could not approach the bed.
It was not until the next morning that the sorceress took a bath in the tent and removed the magic from Geralt.
Let this guard dog drooling over the bathtub turn back into the famous white wolf.
Not to mention the interesting interaction between the two lovers, since the sorceress came to the dragon hunting camp, the most nervous ones were not the Yarpen dwarf team who had some kind of secret agreement with the sorceress, but the three plunderer brothers who looked the most difficult to deal with.
Although the three brothers were very famous in Redania, they were well-known and fierce characters, famous for hunting and killing ferocious beasts such as dragon lizards and Asian dragons.
But as time went by, these large reptiles became less and less, and it became increasingly difficult for the three brothers to find jobs. Accustomed to eating, drinking, gambling, and spending money lavishly, they were almost living a life of debt.
Among all the members of the dragon hunting team, only these three people value this job the most, and they are also the ones who want to keep the wealth for themselves the most.
However, the plunderers are not fools. In this dragon hunting team, whether it is King Niedamir's guards, the strong dwarf team, or the mutant team composed of sorceresses and demon hunters, they are all very powerful competitors and will not let them succeed in their goal.
There was no way they could take the treasure in the dragon's nest for themselves, so they simply approached the Yarpan dwarf team, who were most likely to reach an agreement with them, and reached some kind of agreement in a secret meeting of bargaining.
