I'm a dragon, I only want to steal princesses

Chapter 43 Take a Walk
"My lord, in fact, there is a more direct way to solve the food problem than to open up farms."

Stone's voice brought Ganon's attention back.

"Oh?" Ganon motioned for Stone to continue.

Shi Shi began to explain: "Actually, as long as you repair the Temple of the Earth Goddess on the sixth floor and make it function, you can use the blessing power of the temple to accelerate the growth and reproduction of some life forms around you, and attract more animals to gather.

In the long run, it should be able to increase the output of surrounding biological resources several times.In the past, the residents here also relied on the power of the Earth Mother Temple to solve their food problems. "

"There is still this kind of operation? But wouldn't you have to repair the temple first, and find someone to activate the temple?" Ganon asked.

"Yes, to restore the temple, you have to find at least one druid with a certain level of strength to become a member of the Infinity Tower and serve as a priest. By the way, according to the information I can obtain, the evening summer elves in the East Breeze Forest believe in druidism." Stone replied.

"To catch a priest to provoke the evening summer elves? Am I not crazy?" Ganon shook his head.

"I mean, it can be recruited." Stone spread his hands and added.

"The kind that costs money?" Ganon frowned.

Stone's movements froze, and Zhenna beside him also sighed.

"There will always be a way to choose the priest. Right now, we can rebuild the temple first. Anyway, the temple above will be repaired sooner or later." Stone passed the topic of candidates as if nothing had happened.

Ganon agrees with this point, repairing the Tower of Infinity is quite crucial for him now.

He also wanted to restore as many temples as possible, especially the temples of the Earth Goddess and the God of Death. The power of [Rebirth] that could enable him to transcend life and death could only be counted on the power of these two temples.

"Can you build it?" Ganon asked the stone.

"With the current manpower, the progress may be relatively slow, and it will take about one to two years." Stone replied.

"Isn't this question coming back?" Gannon shook his head a little dissatisfied.

Building a ranch requires manpower, and repairing the temple still requires manpower.

"If I come to help, can the progress of the work be made faster?" Ganon suddenly proposed.

"Master, you alone can be worth more than a hundred people, but I can completely handle the rough and heavy work of moving materials. The problem lies in some technical and delicate work. Besides, you still have to control the entire Tower of Infinity. It would be my dereliction of duty to ask you to handle such chores." Shito said tactfully.

"But I don't have anything else to do."

Gannon looked into the distance, heaved a sigh of relief, and began to consider whether he should go to the books in the study or continue to bask in the sun.

The past few days recuperating in the Tower of Infinity was the most leisurely time he had spent since he came to this world.

He found himself gradually accepting and adapting to the life here. In fact, regardless of the possible crises in the future, he quite liked this kind of leisurely life.

At the same time, he also gradually got used to the identity he got in this world: Ganon——only Zhenna called him by his name these days, and he also began to get used to this name.

Neither Li Yuan, an ordinary human from another world, nor the evil red dragon Helganon, he is a brand new existence that combines the soul of another world with the body of a giant dragon.

Zhenna cast her gaze at Gannon several times, looking hesitant to speak.

Shi Shi suddenly approached her and spoke in a very low voice: "Miss Zhenna, you want to get closer to Master, right?"

Zhenna tensed her whole body like a frightened cat, and immediately glanced at the stone: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Am I right? I think my judgment should be more than [-]% accurate."

Stone continued to whisper to Zhenna, without wavering in his tone.

"No! Shut up!" Zhenna blushed and denied in a low voice.

"Please allow me to speak sincerely. If no action is taken, things will not progress. For a paladin, courage is a very important quality." Stone suddenly seemed to be very serious.

"Don't meddle in your own business!" Zhenna pushed the stone, but it didn't budge.

Zhenna turned her eyes to Ganon again.

She said so on the lips, but she was still clear in her heart.

It was this red dragon that saved her and gradually became her spiritual support when she experienced the despair of betrayal.

In fact, she is very clear about the kind of affection she gradually developed for this male red dragon in the process of surviving the crisis together.

More important than race is spirit—that's what she's been taught since she was a child.

Ganon is not evil, but also her savior.

It's okay to just think about getting closer first, isn't it?
Thinking of this, she hesitated for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to speak up:
"Gannon, if you have nothing to do, do you want...to go out together?"

Gannon suddenly looked over vigilantly after hearing the words: "Are you going to buy something again?"

"No, it's not!" Zhenna waved her hands helplessly, "I mean, it's all around..."

"Want to go hunting with me? It's not necessary for now, there's still some Wyvern meat left." Ganon raised his eyebrows.

"No..." Zhenna was a little discouraged suddenly, and whispered, "Oh, forget it..."

"With all due respect, my lord, Miss Zhenna wants to date you." Stone suddenly said at this moment.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Zhenna's voice immediately rose again.

She raised her foot and kicked the stone, but the stone remained motionless.

Then she turned to Gannon to explain: "I, I mean, just go for a walk together!"

After hearing this, Ganon looked at Zhenna for a while, with a subtle smile on his face: "Is it a date?"

Zhenna's eyes widened when she heard this, and her face became even redder.

"Let's go for a walk..." she said, feeling a little annoyed, "Are you going or not?"

This red dragon is really bad!
"Okay, it's not bad to relax in the woods." Gannon smiled unabated and waved, "Then let's go, Your Royal Highness."

"Please go slowly, I will prepare a meal and wait for the two of you to come back." Shitou saluted respectfully from behind.

Gannon and Zhenna walked for a long time in the forest, all the way silent.

"Should we find something to talk about?" Gradually feeling the awkward atmosphere, Zhenna began to think hard in her heart.

Fortunately, at this time, Gannon spoke first to break the silence: "I heard some rumors about us when I transformed into a human form to go shopping in a village on the border this time."

"What rumor?" Zhenna asked subconsciously.

"Now the empire is spreading rumors that the little princess Zhenna was brainwashed by magic after being taken away by the evil dragon, and she became an accomplice of the evil dragon, and even assisted the evil dragon in killing the knight who wanted to rescue her." Ganon replied.

Zhen Na's eyes widened in surprise, but she quickly regained her composure: "It's very similar to the style of the imperial sister."

"The reaction was flatter than I thought." Ganon commented.

"After all, half of what is said is true. For me, there is no need for clarification. I can no longer return to the empire." Zhenna replied calmly.

"Do you want to go back?" Ganon asked.

Zhen Na thought about it seriously, then shook her head: "There's nothing to go back to. The only thing that makes me worry about it is actually only my father."

She was completely tired of the struggles in the court, and she didn't want to be used as a political tool anymore.

But her father, who was seriously ill in bed, still worried her a lot.

Because Sister Huang has been basically determined as the successor, her father has loved her more than educated her since she was a child.

After her mother died and her sister showed her murderous intentions, her father became the only relative she cared about in this world, and she really wanted to see him again.

Gannon's expression froze for a moment at this moment, and then he stopped.

"Gannon?" Zhenna also stopped in her tracks.

"Zenna, about your father, I have something to tell you. Listen to me calmly..." After a moment of silence, Gannon said with a serious face, "I heard the news. On the night of the [-]th, your father, His Majesty Emperor Terent II passed away. Three days ago, Fred had officially ascended the throne."

Zhenna was stunned for a while, then lowered her eyes.

After a long time, she said softly, "That's it."

"My condolences," Ganon said.

"Yeah." Zhenna nodded slightly, "I'm actually mentally prepared to never see him again, but... I didn't expect it to be so soon. You've been looking for a chance to tell me, right? Thank you."

Ganon said nothing.

After a while, Zhenna said, "Let's go back."

"it is good."

Gannon and Zhenna walked back for a while, and Gannon felt that Zhenna was walking slower and slower, gradually falling behind, as if some invisible weight was gradually pouring into her body.

He found that Zhenna's footsteps had stopped, so he turned his head and saw Zhenna standing there with her head bowed.

After a while, he heard sobbing.

Gannon walked up to Zhenna and put his hand on her shoulder: "Cry if you want to."

The last bit of bravado collapsed, Zhen Na suddenly threw herself into his arms, buried her face in his shoulder, and burst into tears.
