143. Chapter 143 – Embrace
Chapter 143: Embrace
The next morning, David, who was eating a hearty breakfast, was shocked to see his own old man directly disliking a bottle of [Sobering Potion] before taking Tania, who was full of displeasure at ‘how did I wake up with a stepmother’, to report to the academy to go to work to teach classes in the meantime.
Salena naturally will not miss this opportunity to please Tania, volunteered to see her off.
It was not good enough for Attilicia to refuse: he had to take the other party out so that David could drill through the portal to clean up the mess and rearrange the alchemy room.
Speaking of which, last night from David’s mouth to learn that his son had secretly learned his own [Portal], Atilicia was still depressed and sad about it for a long time.
Every father hopes that his child’s achievements will be even higher in the future.
However, when one realizes that one’s own child is so evil that he has already shown a crushing attitude to catch up with one’s own when he was still a child, the vast majority of fathers’ feelings are similar.
Especially when the father is still very ‘young’.
Most of them would be the same as Atilicia at this moment, their minds would directly explode.
That’s why when getting ready to go out Salena was still a bit worried and asked:
“What about little David? Do you usually just leave him alone all day?”
Atilicia replied without looking back and without thinking:
“Ah, it’s fine, he happens to be at home watching the house with the prevalence of burglaries lately.”
‘Holy shit’ David’s heart cursed directly, you’re keeping a dog here! Believe it or not I will today this broken home for you to tear down?
“.” Salena was used to seeing David’s ‘mature and understanding’ side, and for the time being, she couldn’t be bothered.
Especially after yesterday’s meeting with Elf King Ariando and exchanging ideas with quite a few elf nobles, she also understood that the current Devonshire, or the entire High Elf Kingdom’s territory, was not very peaceful.
Ever since the big explosion in Spider’s Nest City, a considerable number of Drells had used that ‘Well of Miracles’ to climb and roam all the way to the surface.
Some of them even disguised themselves as High Elves, causing a strong impact on the security of the High Elves and even the southern human kingdoms.
Some of the elf officials even proposed to draft back some of the naval forces that had been abolished to serve as magistrates.
However, only when there is a rumor, it is to attract the whole country a burst of scolding.
Higher elves are not such ‘lowly things that come when called’, they also want face and dignity, right?
After all, before the ‘seventh fleet was annihilated for no reason’, ‘General Ahmed came back from the dead’ and many other scandals were exposed.
Not to mention the dissatisfaction of being suddenly disarmed, just the difference in treatment between the regular navy and the temporary magistrates, it is destined that not many elf veterans are willing to do this thankless job.
When they were in the navy before, they could still go to ‘fight a bandit’, ‘fish’ or something to make up for the layers of deductions on their pay.
When they were discharged from the military, they could also work as a relatively free mercenary to subsidize their families.
Why risk being stabbed by a roving Zhuoer to become a magistrate?
For all these reasons, law and order is extremely problematic today.
No, even her mage tower had been stolen by those Grief Wind Transportation Soldiers!
”Tsk, do I need to find a job too, I can’t really rely on Atilicia’s charity, right? I still need to find a way to save up money to buy two Monolithic Devil Statues to deal with Dad’s side”
Salena was immediately moved.
David, who was alone at home, naturally didn’t know what this female silver dragon had in mind.
As a precaution, he was still surprisingly patient, producing red ashes in the washroom and waiting for the other side to come back.
Originally, David was still a little worried that Salena’s stay would affect his and his old man’s alchemy career.
It turned out to be strange when Salena didn’t come back, but instead waited for Pops, the silver dragon who had finished teaching the morning’s coursework, to come back first:
“Where’s her dragon?”
With a pair of dark circles under her eyes, Atilicia immediately smiled smugly:
“She is not also starting to lack money, I directly introduced her to the administrative department of the academy, applying for the academy’s martial arts teacher to go.”
David was stunned:
“A dragon? Teaching others martial arts?”
Isn’t that just plain wrong?
But it was none of his business anyway.
Attilicia, on the other hand, looked positive:
“You can’t underestimate us silver dragons! Other metal dragons I do not know, but in order to prevent the humanoid form encounter fighting, our silver dragon no matter what form, close combat martial arts, that is the first tier, do not believe that the two of us to . Ahem.”
Just suddenly remembered that he was once held down on the ground by his son’s tragic past of muslin, and hurriedly changed the topic:
“You do not look at her a weak look, her father is our dragon island dragon combat professor, single on the dragon close combat skills, may be the entire dragon island young generation are not dragon is her opponent.”
David sniffed but the scales are exploded up, out of the [rage] up:
“Then you still let me directly with her yesterday hard on?”
If not for his resourcefulness, under the encounter that caught him off guard, he might have been held down on the ground and violently beaten to meet the dragon’s first defeat. The one with Nymphadora didn’t count.
He called it a draw, barely.
Attilicia, however, rightfully said:
“You’re a demigod, aren’t you? Besides, she didn’t get the better of you either.” Yesterday, he had used the [Regeneration Technique] to help Sharaina deal with the burns that had shocked him.
“I,” David suddenly felt a strong sense of powerlessness.
Come on, this is a problem that can’t be explained in a few words with his own old man.
It was as if a person’s outlook was so fixed that once they were convinced of something, they were convinced of it and could not be changed.
This is especially true for dragons who are arrogant by nature.
What David didn’t know was that being a demigod was the ultimate dream of a dragon’s life for his father, Atilicia, and even for almost all dragons.
After all, in Atilicia’s opinion, even the biggest boss of his dragon’s life, the Crimson Calamity Pavla, had only just achieved Legend.
However, the vast majority of dragons, even to the ancient dragons, were able to cut off their ‘obsession’ with treasures and set foot on the path of the Dragon of God, very few.
More often than not, they wanted to rely on a relatively long life cycle to explore divinity on their own, advance to demigod, and then become a dragon god in control of a party.
But after countless years, there are only ten Dragon Gods that have been passed down from dragon to dragon, namely:
King of the North Wind – Bahamut
Tiamat, the queen of the five-colored dragons.
Estelabo, the Acquirer
The Silent Watcher – Kuronipus
Night Dragon – Farazul.
Destroyer of all things – Karekth
Custodian of Wit – Hel
Scales of Justice – Landis
Lady of Mercy – Tamara
And the oracle that hasn’t had an oracle in years
Io, the nine-faced dragon god.
As for the so-called Goddess of Creation, Astrena, she is nothing more than a demigod, except that due to her role as a messenger of the Nine-Faced Dragon God, the majority of dragons honor her as a member of the Dragon God.
Therefore, in the view of father Atilicia, the fact that her own child, who was still in his infancy, possessed divinity at the very beginning could be seen as a promising future.
Even if she couldn’t become the 11th Dragon God in this life, if she wanted to become a free demigod like Astrena, it would only be a matter of time and experience, right?
This is where the limitation of vision lies.
Sometimes without arriving at a certain realm, one would never be able to realize how vastly different the gap between ‘gods’ that also possessed divinity was.
When David had mistakenly entered the ‘Pantheon’, he was nothing more than a speck of dust like a fluorescent insect compared to those star-like celestial divine kingdoms.
If he hadn’t relied on the Seven Sins Power to nibble a piece of divinity from the God of War Tempus’s divine kingdom, with David’s ‘senses’ at the time, he might not have even been able to perceive it.
Although Attilicia couldn’t perceive this, she obviously felt the unpleasantness in David’s expression, and not knowing what to do, she had to change the topic in a hard manner:
“That. Now, go get creative?”
That kind of formal and small-minded appearance, let David have a moment, as if traveled through time and space, saw that once the old father and his own unpleasant but want to try to remedy the situation, to his own awkwardly say that sentence:
Ahem, come to eat, son of a bitch.
But that world, after all, he can not return.
“Come on Dad!” David suddenly laughed, and stood up, embracing his father in this world, Attilicia, into his arms.
“Eh eh! Son of a bitch, what’s wrong with you?”
Atilicia was a bit uncomfortable with David’s sudden embrace at first, but soon, the first time he felt this kind of special affection, he also smiled with relief.
Until, that is, realizing that the force of this hug from his own son was getting tighter and tighter.
Getting, well, wrong .
By the time he tried to speak, his chest had compressed to the point where words couldn’t come out, and he could only raise his hand to uncontrollably pat David on the back of his waist.
But Davey still only thought it was encouragement from his father’s relief.
Until the sound of a crunch, David only reacted, hurriedly released has been like a piece of mud paralyzed on the ground of the old man, full of incredulity.
At least he was a dragon! After transforming, it’s so fragile:
“Dad! Dad! What’s wrong with you? Say something, Dad!
“Don’t scare me
“Dad!!!”
