Chapter 6

【6】

Generally speaking, if a dragon had raised humans for more than ten years, his human language would improve significantly. However, Alex and Rhett were the exceptions because Slair could speak better Dragonic than Alex’s and Rhett’s human language. However, Slair loved exquisite things, which made their craftsmanship could despise any dragons.

At the Gold Coin Festival, Alex and Rhett brought a human gold castle, it was gorgeous and shiny, and it was a secret gift from the dragons to Slair. All the dragons at the scene were fascinated by it. The ones who were good at human transfiguration changed into human forms on the spot and ran into the gold castle for a visit.

Entering the gate, you could see a vast hall with a pair of crystal chandeliers hanging on the top. When it lit up, it looked like water patterns were sprinkled on the floor. There were paintings of fishes on the wall with magic runes as their scales, and those magical runes allowed the fishes to move along with the water. Walking past the hallway, it felt like you were walking in the ocean. Further down and stepping on the raised dragon-shaped pattern at the center of the floor, nine fountains would emerge around you, encircling you. The golden spiral staircase in the front was covered in emerald green vines; small diamond-shaped red flowers were blooming on it. Up the stairs, there was a corridor full of portraits that connected to various playrooms. A kitchen, dining room, and a library-like study on the third floor. There was also a substantial open-air platform with a built-in swimming pool. An exquisite small umbrella propped by the pool has become a perfect decoration. To ensure that Slair could find a place to rest, there were bedrooms on every castle floor. Each bed was big and soft, super comfortable at first glance. However, the most unique was the bedroom on the top floor, which occupies the entire floor. There was a switch hidden under the pillows. Once you clicked it, it would turn the surroundings transparent, so the bed and the furniture looked like they were floating mid-air.

『Oh my god, this is wonderful. Your pet human must be so happy! But he must be lonely living in such a large castle all by himself, don’t you think about buying a few more humans to keep his company?』

『Yeah, yeah, humans are easily felt alone.』

『NO WAY』Rhett raised his head proudly 『Our baby Slair does not like other people to take our attention.』

『Wow, you must have a good relationship. I am so envious that none of my humans allow me to touch them. Please share your experience with me !』

『Speaking of experience, all you need to do is make him feel your unconditional love…』

In the afternoon, the gold castle even drew the Dragon Emperor’s attention. He was a giant golden dragon. When he transformed into his human form, his long blond hair shone like gold and his purple eye like the purest amethyst. After getting permission from the two dragons, the Dragon Emperor took a trip to the castle. After he came out, he shook his claw with Alex and Rhett and drew a gold medal. The Emperor had rewarded them with the 『Best Craft Award』on the spot, with a bonus box of gems as a reward.

Such honor made Rhett rise with excitement and could not calm down. Smoke was constantly coming out of his nose. As he flew home, the smoke drew a grey trajectory.

『I am so happy, Alex! What do you think, would Slair babe would enjoy the castle?』

『He would love it for sure. 』 Alex tried his best to keep his cool, but his up and down flying pattern betrayed him.『 He is seventeen and can’t live in that little crystal cabin anymore. This is just perfect.』

When they were about to get home, they packed up the castle with a box, smiled at each other, and went into their caves: 『Slair, Slair, have you been a good boy?』

No one answers.

Alex checked the cabin, and Slair was not there.

『I know he will sneak out and play, but he used to come home when he saw us from a distance.』 Rhett said,『I will go find him.』

『No, not you. I should be the one to do the meticulous work. How many times has Slair been under your claws, and you missed him? You stay here. Maybe Slair will come home by himself.』

Rhett wanted to protest, but he closed his mouth when he remembered that lava bath accident. Alex was much better in this regard, and it won’t take long for him to pull that naughty boy out of his hide out.

But this time, he waited and waited. A whole night had passed, and there were no signs of Alex. Finally, the red dragon had enough. He rushed out of the cave, flew high, and found the blue dragon by the cliff.

『What are you doing here, Alex? Where is Slair?』

『He is gone.』

『You did not find him?』 Rhett said, 『Let me help you』

Alex turned around. Rhett was shocked to see tears in the blue dragon’s eyes.

『I asked the golden feather vulture on the mountain wall, the electro deers in the forest, and the entomophagous tree across the cliff. They all said Slair was on Choco’s back and accidentally fell from here…』

Rhett pokes his head out — this is where their floating islands connected. There was a massive gap in between which you could see the clouds and the continent down below.

Rhett was a fire dragon; it was the first time his heart was cold as ice.

Last note: Humans’ life spans were way shorter than the dragons, and their bodies were very fragile. Thus, you must keep this in mind before you bring them home. One day they will leave you.
