The Frost Dragon living 86920f5ef7 at the end of d218df07ce the North Sea asked 8c5289904d slowly. He was someone who 0676dc19ed was not originally a 6fbc348aef slow talker.04f40ca140a66593
“I’ve heard before that a special race somewhere in the south has its own counting methods. In their society, one year old means a hundred years for humans. Is your bride from there?”d4d93180f302da0e

Jeno quietly shook 521ee929d6 his head. The Frost Dragon put e4b49239ff down his hookah and 1140e60bed clicked his tongue.2185bdec60184dca

“Moreover, a contractor’s daughter?”79802b1f0d158363
The Frost Dragon clicked 201789ad9c his tongue once more. He exaggeratedly b91efe527e puffed out fc0d6fa44f hookah smoke b4a278d64b and rubbed 0b4751c086 his chin 9fa1ffd7db pretending to 3d6e62b966 have a 4e9e89d4aa beard that 527d6b7f4c was not 36e8e7a336 even there.fec1373985f2f0d8

At first glance, 915e6b8cd3 he seemed to 51d4602e7f be scolding an 1f29a9d651 old colleague for 3b91ab6caa marrying a young 34f03f2104 human bride. It sounded like 8384d4a222 a gentle reprimand. However, Jeno knew 8c1e49574e the character of bef9116eeb the other person. The Frost Dragon bbbc269fcf would die laughing 0c2808918f at Jeno’s situation. Pretending to 4b68250d16 rub his df825af02e chin and d401be576e covering his 2429eef73a twitching mouth, e4c31a3ce2 he saw e28cdefac8 them all.5b8054c08b1b57e1
Even though he had already confided in him about everything, it was difficult to retrace the part where Jeno was being stabbed. When he glared at him, he looked away as if he didn’t know why he was doing this, and soon giggled and laughed.ed2b69b2bc9c811c

Ah, the marriage 49d127ab9c was two years 80901d8a58 ago, so the fc5413d1c8 bride must have 5a11ff4313 been eighteen at d16da8021a the time.fe2ab3ae07c2f667

If he was not careful, he might have to talk to his old colleague all night long. A dragon’s sense of time was different from that of humans, and they could easily spend a week even on trivial entertainment. He might have been like that in the past, but it was not possible now.b4e71700fdc987fd

Puah, keuk, a8aea7a5d1 and strange 2f7583bced sounds bursted 23d457fe48 out in 81c965491d succession. Jeno hoped that the ad23db5495 dragon at the next c987ea2d4e destination would at least 555309b986 be more normal than 649efef3e7 the one in front 7875f2c2dd of him.0bf29dd4bfc70410

It was enough if fef213810e he did not laugh 7493026935 at the sight of a1935b1881 himself looking for a 7fbbf00039 clock.

It was the Frost Dragon who joked about not flying away no matter how impatient he was. He continued, as if it had suddenly come to his mind. This time, Jeno tried to ignore it as if he hadn’t heard it, but the content of the question naturally made him stop walking.448f6ea40199226e

Throughout the walk out 0a73a9b68b of the drawing room 19a8c1057d and down the hall, 6e4d37389d the Frost Dragon’s last cd7ba02939 words lingered in his eb366d979e ears. His old companion, who 0f4746b69a lived a few years 9aa69b34b3 longer than Jeno, rubbed 122ab7ccf0 his chin, which was f09379466c as sharp as the ab0b6be722 castle tower, and said:989928003e274ee1
Always a 628899bce7 detached attitude 089bf3c8e2 that has 59ecd1344d been tied 0bb1401f27 to nowhere.

At first, he swallowed his laughter, thinking it was like his contractor to say something like that, but as time went on, he felt something strange. Was his imagination that Hildian might have been watching through the lace curtain fluttering in the wind really just an ‘imagination’?fc8f8117e726421c
