Era of Pet Beasts: Picking Up a Dark Demon Dragon Egg Right off the Bat - Chapter 34
Chapter 34: Entering the City
Matthew had already anticipated this shout, but he was still somewhat moved.
Because he hadn’t expected Brenda and Edith to be the daughters of the Yunras City’s City Lord.
The City Lord stopped his action, and a doting look appeared in his eyes as he saw Brenda and Edith flying toward him.
“Brenda, Edith, my daughters, where have you been these past two days?” His voice was much gentler now.
Brenda and Edith flew toward them from a distance. As they passed Matthew, they gave him a respectful bow before landing in front of their father.
After the two of them put their beasts back into the cards, they ran toward the City Lord with graceful movement and crashed into his arms.
They shouted coquettishly, “Father.”
Even though he had heard it countless times, he still couldn’t help feeling joy from the depths of his heart.
No matter how many times he heard his daughters call him father, he would never get sick of it.
The City Lord had a gentle smile on his face. After patting his daughters’ heads, his expression became stern again. Then, he pulled them behind him and said, “It’s not suitable for us to chat now. I’ll bring you back to have a good chat after I settle this matter.”
Brenda and Edith had no idea what was going on, but they had a rough guess.
Matthew must have offended the guards, or someone else, before being treated as an invader.
Brenda immediately explained, “Father, you’re mistaken.”
“Huh? What do you mean?” The City Lord looked puzzled, not understanding what his eldest daughter was talking about.
Edith ran to her father and pointed at Matthew. “He’s not an invader. You must have misunderstood something.”
A trace of irritation appeared on the City Lord’s face as he shouted, “Nonsense, he injured Gibran, how is he not an enemy?”
“Father, he’s our friend, and we can explain what happened in between. Please dispel this formation first ~” Brenda said coquettishly as she shook the City Lord’s right hand.
Edith whispered, “Also, let me tell you a secret. Matthew is a Dragon Knight ~”
“What!?” The City Lord was shocked and took a step back.
This time, he was even more shocked than when he saw the talking mutated beast.
He had never seen a talking mutated beast before, but that did not mean that this world did not have one.
But a Dragon Knight was a completely different matter. The requirement for a Dragon Knight was to accept a dragon as a partner. However, the dragons on the Vartas Continent had already gone extinct. This was something that all Beast Tamers knew, and it was clearly recorded in the ancient books.
Now that a Dragon Knight had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, the City Lord was truly shocked.
“Are you serious?” The City Lord looked at his younger daughter in shock.
It wasn’t just Edith. Even Brenda nodded vigorously.
Brenda signaled her father with her gaze. “That’s the Dark Demon Dragon,” she said.
Dark Demon Dragon!!!
It was a divine dragon and also a demonic beast!
There were many Dragon Knights recorded in the ancient books, but no one could tame the Dark Demon Dragon!
Because it was not only a divine dragon, but also an extremely evil demonic beast that almost no Dragon Knight could control.
The City Lord looked at Heber’s figure, which gradually coincided with the portrait in the ancient records. He finally confirmed that it was indeed a Dark Demon Dragon!
This made him incomparably shocked and excited, to the extent where he couldn’t even express it with words.
The Dark Demon Dragon that no one could control in the long river of history had appeared in front of him in such a docile manner.
Perhaps, he was one of the few people in history who had seen the Dark Demon Dragon being docile.
How could he not be excited and shocked?
Besides, he knew better than his two daughters what a Dragon Knight represented.
Beast Tamers who could tame divine dragons had unlimited potential.
In the future, not only would they become a top expert on the Vartas Continent, they could even transcend this world and head to an even vaster world!
If it was to be exaggerated, Dragon Knights could see the legendary realm of immortality!
The City Lord had never imagined that he would meet such a big shot in a small place like Yunras City.
He would do everything he could to build a good relationship with Matthew.
In the future, this would only mean benefits and no harm to their family’s interests!
However, he suddenly remembered that he had used a magic formation against a Dragon Knight.
The City Lord broke out in cold sweat.
If this Dragon Knight bore grudges, there might not be a Romeo family in the future.
He immediately stepped forward and waved his hand to disperse the huge magic formation in the sky.
“Honorable Dragon Knight, please forgive me for my earlier offense.”
The City Lord bowed slightly to Matthew and said respectfully.
Athosen saw this and asked, “You expected this?”
Matthew didn’t answer. He remained indifferent, and willed Heber to dispel its giant form.
Heber understood and immediately shrunk until it was palm-sized.
Matthew slowly descended to the ground.
“Don’t worry about it.”
Matthew replied calmly.
“Tsk!”
Seeing that Matthew was ignoring it, Athosen snorted haughtily and disdainfully before slowly descending to the ground as well.
However, its body did not shrink. It was still a three-meter-tall red giant.
The City Lord heaved a sigh of relief after receiving Matthew’s understanding.
When the guards at the city gate saw that the atmosphere had eased, they were very puzzled.
Why did they suddenly stop?
Could it be that the City Lord intends to let go of the culprit who harmed Lord Gibran?
Or did the two ladies bring back some important information that changed the City Lord’s mind?
However, due to their identities, they did not ask anything and only watched quietly from the side.
With such a major event occurring, the City Lord would definitely issue an announcement in the near future to explain the situation clearly.
The doubts in their hearts would naturally be resolved on that day.
The civilians hiding in the corner were different.
When they saw the grim atmosphere dissipate, they immediately started discussing.
“What happened?”
“Why did the City Lord stop?”
“That’s the culprit who attacked Yunras City!”
“Is the City Lord planning to let that person off?”
As the leader of the city, the City Lord could not act willfully. He had to be responsible for the citizens of the city.
Therefore, as the civilians discussed, he naturally had to give a reasonable explanation.
“Silence!”
The City Lord turned around and his majestic countenance entered everyone’s sight.
“There are some misunderstandings in this matter. Everyone, there’s no need to discuss it further. Tomorrow, I’ll release a notice and explain the whole story.”
After hearing the City Lord’s words, the commoners stopped talking.
Although they had not figured out the situation, they would know the truth tomorrow. They could wait a day.
Then, the City Lord turned to face Matthew with a smile and made an inviting gesture. “Honorable Dragon Knight, please come to my residence for a chat.”
Matthew nodded slightly and strode toward the city gate.
The City Lord followed behind him with his two daughters.
The guards immediately made way.
