Chapter 960 It’s not easy to be a father (first update, small chapter)
For Qingtong, all logic is taken for granted.
As a creature that can reproduce bisexually most of the time, and can reproduce singly when necessary, crystal dragons do have the concept of 'parents'.
Although Qingtong was born from parthenogenesis of an etheric crystal dragon, Qingtong theoretically only has his mother. However, because his mother passed away when Qingtong was still a dragon egg, Qingtong spent most of his time with Ian and others after his birth.
get along.
As the first person he saw after leaving the eggshell, he was the one who taught Qingtong how to leave the eggshell and taught Qingtong how to control his 'other body'...
There is no doubt that Ian is almost like a 'father' in Qingtong's heart.
Even the fact that he often goes out and rarely comes back, but brings a lot of gifts when he comes back, and teaches himself to become stronger (meditation and the core of the heart of the essence), perfectly meets the definition of a father!
By the way, Shark Shark, who has been playing with him, is familiar with the surrounding terrain, and takes care of Qing Tong, is a 'foster mother' in Qing Tong's eyes.
Andor, the kind-hearted uncle who takes care of other bodies in the breeding area, is a "foreign uncle" who, although we don't live together, is very kind and buys gifts for himself.
Shuangdie, who led me to familiarize myself with the Great Maze of the South China Sea and led me to play with fairies, was naturally my ‘sister’.
And Elan, who also plays with him and even tells him stories, is his ‘brother’.
What a happy and harmonious family! Qingtong has always been happy for her family members... Although her mother passed away very early, as long as she can grow up quickly and healthily, her mother will definitely be happy for her too.
"...What kind of seniority is this? You call me brother Elan but you call me dad."
——Just call me big brother. Anyway, my brother and I often merge with you.
Although Ian found it strange, he couldn't refute it too much.
Because in fact, for Elan, he is closer to his father than his brother.
An elder brother is like a father.
He shook his head slightly: "Who taught you the phrase "dedicate your life and soul to me"? I guess it was Andor."
【Indeed he is uncle!】
Qingtong answered seriously. He was actually very sensitive and intelligent, and couldn't help but feel worried: [Did I say something wrong? My uncle would mutter some sentences to himself when he was writing novels. It sounded good to me, so I learned a little bit...
Don’t blame uncle, okay?】
"No." Ian sighed: "I just didn't expect that in the past few years, Andor would actually become a cultural figure - did he actually start writing novels? It's quite impressive."
Having said that, Ian did not stop Qingtong from continuing to call him 'father' - he actually didn't really mind, he was just surprised by the speed of Qingtong's intelligence improvement.
Compared with Shasha, whose intelligence continues to improve, but until now, is just like a child of about ten years old, Qingtong's intelligence has obviously exceeded the category of a 'child'. He is very sensitive, sharp, and has even learned '
hidden'.
Because of Ian's surprise, Qingtong was a little frustrated and stopped calling Ian 'dad'. He even hid his emotions and acted as if he had said an ordinary sentence wrongly.
"I'm very happy that you've grown up so fast."
After thinking for a while, Ian used his soul to comfort Qingtong in the distance: "If you are willing to call me father, I don't mind, just like Frost Butterfly calls me father, I am also happy to accept it."
"It's just." He paused: "If you really want to call yourself the 'Son of Silver Peak'..."
"Then Qingtong, your future can't be so 'carefree'."
Hearing this, Qingtong became energetic: [I am not afraid of hard work - I am willing to do something for you, father... I can work hard]
In fact, this is part of the mentality of young people, eager to be 'recognized' and then do 'something'.
Ian knows very well that sometimes, relationships are not one-sided giving or receiving, and occasionally you have to ask for it or help others. For Qingtong, he has been receiving preferential treatment from Ian since he was born.
Help and cultivation, but in his own opinion, he is basically playing carefree.
As his intelligence became higher and higher, and he became more and more able to understand Ian's current situation, Qingtong felt a feeling that was close to panic - he seemed to have become an outsider, and could only watch his 'father' and
Other 'relatives' kept moving, but I stayed where I was, feeling as if I had been abandoned.
That's why He agreed so quickly to Ian's request which actually sounded quite rude - that was part of His body, one-third of His life, and was handed over directly like this.
Of course, for Ian, that's not the case.
With Shark Shark and Qing Tong protecting the southern coast, even when Ian was fighting against the Demon Legion, the trade route between Port Harrison and Canaan Moore was not cut off by the navy of Flying Fire Land. On the contrary, Shark Shark and Qing Tong almost
Just like a joke, they eliminated several Feiyandi special operations troops who tried to secretly sneak into Nanling by sea.
Moreover, Qingtong didn't need to do anything originally. He only needed to protect the South China Sea Labyrinth and wait for Ian to take over.
However, since Qingtong is so smart, he cannot just be an ordinary 'keeper of ruins'.
"Crystal Dragon, I remember, should be the 'biological space battleship' of the civilization of the previous era, right? Although it has changed into many forms due to subsequent environmental adaptation, the original design should be the same space warfare unit as the Frost Lure Moth.
"
"It just so happens that in the future I will repair the orbital accelerator around the South China Sea Labyrinth. If Qingtong is strong enough, I can help with maintenance."
Ian's original idea was to use Qingtong and Shark as his naval force... But now it seems that there is really no need for naval battles in this damn place on Terra. Most of the time they are flying around in the air, with the strong fighting against each other.
.
In this case, it is better to accelerate directly, what is the navy, we directly develop the space force!
But in this case, Qingtong will indeed have to learn a lot more... At the very least, he will have to understand some principles of pre-era technology.
"Qingtong, I will give you the authority to remotely connect to the Heart of Terra, and I will occasionally give you lectures there."
After thinking for a while, Ian said seriously to Qingtong: "Not only you, Shark Shark, Frost Butterfly and Elan will also go there. Although you are far apart, you can be in the same room in the virtual realm."
"Don't worry, I will be with you."
While so comforting, Ian thought to himself: "Am I too scumbag for doing this?"
But that's what taking care of children is like.
To be honest, Ian does feel that there are more and more people around him, and he is not the only one who belongs to the "Silver Peak Leader". The potential in the future is also very strong.
Not to mention anything else, Adlbert alone is enough to be the top combat force after Ian. As the successor that Archduke Thorin is extremely optimistic about, Adlbert's talent is definitely in line with the fifth level in Ian's opinion.
Although those with high energy levels are inherently good and have too high moral standards, the fact that they can still have such high moral standards in a place like Terra is a kind of rational madness and a strong enough will.
Secondly, Xiou is also guaranteed to be at the fourth level. In fact, after the trip to the Xenogeneic Research Institute, Xiou, who gradually understood the meaning of his existence, is no longer the naive and somewhat inferior dragon in the past, but has gradually become high-spirited and cheerful.
, the guardian guarding the Silver Peak Territory.
Later, as Ian's younger brother, Elan, the holder of the retrospective vision, is likely to be Ian's 'successor' born from history through countless 'choices'... Although he is still very weak now,
Ian knows very well that if Elan, who has a true 'retrospective vision', wants to, he can draw terrifying knowledge and nutrients from many histories to strengthen himself at any time.
Now, he is already doing this. Huaiguang is also optimistic about him, which is proof.
In addition, Viscount Grant, who has advanced to the third level, is also enriching the heritage of the Nanling lineage... His children are also Ian's future disciples. As the heirs of the Abyss Lizard Whale bloodline, Yi
En is confident that he can train this disciple to the fourth level.
Counting Sharsha and Qingtong, as well as Qingchao Scott and others, the current Silver Peak Leader has full potential. It only needs a period of development to realize its potential, and it is enough to be called a major force!
only……
"These future powerful men are actually still children now."
After sensing that Qingtong's mood had improved, Ian asked about Qingtong's recent condition and how they were playing and studying before turning off the communication and sighing: "We still have to take good care of their emotions. Nothing else.
He said, it’s true that Shuangdie hasn’t paid attention to her for a long time, and I’ll ask her how she’s doing lately.”
