In the morning Leo morphed back to human form. The Boys then had a good look at the, quite well planned, Town and the Keep. The market even had pineapples. They noticed several, Elves, selling stuff! Traditionally Elves and Dragons do not mix. Elves tend to be haughty, and so get up Dragon's snouts. Being comparatively friendly, Trian was able to talk telepathically to the elves and discovered that these were High Elves who had been allowed by The Dragons to create a deep forest settlement in one of the hard to find nearby wooded valleys. They sold various high value forest products and arcane services in return for supplies.
Then it was Rex's turn to be collared and muzzled. He was not a happy dragon.
During the day the Boys made rapid progress, and again passed by several manors as the region was quite populated. The manors were much the same as those the Boys had seen before entering the town, though perhaps the fortifications were less robust, the halls more extravagant, and more window glass was in evidence. The Boys could scry that the herb gardens were larger and the flower garden mazes more elaborate. There were even greenhouses, literally. The glass used was not lead crystal, first discovered in Elizabethan England, but used a copper oxide, its green colour preventing excessive heat transmission.
Towards the end of the day the manors became more wooded, and then the open park land began again. At the end of the day they rested in another abandoned dungeon. Some enterprising Kadjiit operating from the nearby Keep attempted to mug the Boys, but cowered the instant Rex snarled at them. They were only some local kits trying to make a bit on the side in a Dragon Realm bandit version of Trick or Treat.
The next day it was Trians's turn again to be collared and muzzled.
