The box slowly opened, revealing the ring inside. Elizabeth waved her hand gently, and a frost barrier appeared in the room, enveloping the entire room.
This was one of the innate abilities of frost dragons. Apart from being able to seal off the probing of others, her own strength would also be enhanced within this barrier.
After making sure that even if Fox turned around, he wouldn't be able to silently investigate her actions, Elizabeth picked up the ring in the box.
From her father's words and Fox's change in attitude, Elizabeth could already see that something was fishy. Fox was most likely not really concerned about her father's whereabouts, but rather wanted to obtain something.
Elizabeth walked to the side of the table, holding the ring in her hand. She gently brushed the surface of the table, and a letter and two palm-sized boxes, one gold and one silver, appeared on the table.
Along with it was a long white piece of paper, with some scribbled black handwriting on it: "Child, show a disappointed expression and say there's nothing inside."
This was the real reason why Elizabeth had decided to hide it from Fox. When she said there was nothing in the ring, she saw a trace of cold light disperse from Fox's fingertips.
Fox had the strength of a grade 9 powerhouse. If he wanted to make a move on her, she would have no way of retaliating. She wouldn't even be able to break his frost barrier.
In her memory, this youngest uncle of hers had doted on her in every possible way since she was young. He was one of the closest family members apart from her father. But today, he actually wanted to make a move on her because of a relic left behind by her father? What was the truth behind her father's disappearance? What did he leave behind that made Fox want to make a move on her?
Looking at the two gem-studded boxes, Elizabeth reached out to pick up the letter at the side. It felt like a piece of hard ice in her hands.
The silver-white envelope flashed with silver light, enveloping Elizabeth's entire body. Then, it instantly withdrew into the envelope, and a layer of frost floated from the envelope to the ground, revealing the real envelope.
"Dear Elizabeth, my daughter, I'm very happy that you can read this letter. Forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye …" Elizabeth opened the letter, and looked at the familiar scribbled handwriting on it. Her eyes gradually reddened.
"After finding this letter, you don't have to look for me anymore, because I'm also looking for someone. It's obviously a stupid and time-consuming thing for you to follow me. I, Rankster's daughter, should stand at the top of the dragon race. The rumors about my disappearance were mostly about me being defeated by Alex and dying from severe injuries, right? Actually, that's not the case. Other than that important matter, I left this time to find Alex. I don't think he's dead.
"Also, I have something to tell you. 17 years ago, in Chaos City, I fell in love with a human woman named Gillian. However, I had to leave Chaos City because of some matters in my race. When I left, she was already pregnant with my child. According to my calculations, she should be 14 years old now. If I'm not wrong, she should have awakened my golden bloodline, the golden dragon bloodline from your grandmother.
"I'm very sorry to say this to you. Your mother's death was a huge blow to me, and I found peace and comfort in Gillian. However, I didn't want her and her mother to be involved in the dragon race's disputes, so I never visited them. I've always been very sorry. Here are two dragon origins. They're the coming of age ceremony I prepared for you and her. On your 20th birthday, absorb the frost dragon origins, and your bloodline will be completely awakened. You will become the first successor of the frost dragon race, and they will have to support you to become king.
"Before that, I hope you can help me find them. There shouldn't be too many of a golden dragon half-dragon in Chaos City. On her 18th birthday, give her this golden dragon origin so that she can completely awaken her golden bloodline and become a real dragon. Remember, apart from her, don't trust anyone else in this world, including your people. Back then, I stepped on countless dragon bones to ascend to the throne. They only have hatred in their hearts. You only have to do one thing — become stronger than them. Continue to step on their heads, and they will learn to be humble. "
"Golden Dragon … sister?" Elizabeth looked at the letter in her hand with a complicated expression. The paper suddenly crumbled, and fell to the ground.
"Father, mother died because of you. Even though she didn't have any resentment toward you, how could you say that you fell in love with another woman …" Elizabeth slowly clenched her fists, and her face turned pale. She looked at the two dragon origins on the table, and fell silent again.
"You left a woman when she was at her most vulnerable during her pregnancy. Father, is your throne really that important? You'd rather chase after a rival than find your own daughter. They're two pitiful women. How did they meet you … "The anger in Elizabeth's eyes gradually dissipated, and she murmured to herself as she looked at the golden dragon origins in the golden box.

After sending Amy to school, Meg went to the bookstore again, and filled a basket with books about the history of this world.
As no race had ever ruled this world, there were no official or unofficial histories. Most of the information was recorded by bards, and Meg didn't know how reliable they were. In any case, he just treated them as leisurely reading material. Meg mainly used them to broaden his horizons.
Perhaps it was because of the elven princess, Meg Alex's memory had many gaps, so his understanding of the Norland Continent was actually not complete.
For example, the dragon islands, the undead islands … There was very little information about them. It seemed that Irina was with him when he went to those places, so his memory was completely erased. Therefore, he could only slowly fill in his worldview with information and build a world that was completely his own.
…
Mag went back to read for the whole afternoon, and then went to pick Amy up at around four o 'clock. After dinner, he officially opened for business. The line outside the door was even longer than before, with hundreds of people lining up all the way into the square. It could be seen from afar, and the advertising effect was much better than standing at the door and shouting.
Amy finished a plate of braised chicken and rice in front of all the customers, and orders for the braised chicken and rice, which had been crazily popular during lunch, skyrocketed again.
"System, give me another casserole," Meg said in his heart as he listened to the number of orders for braised chicken that Yabemiya reported.
"Please note that your current level of authority is too low, so you can't …" The system's serious voice sounded.
"If sales of braised chicken and rice are doubled, the speed of upgrading the restaurant will increase by at least one-third, right?" Meg calmly said.
"Ding! The casserole has been placed in the third cupboard. Please accept it! "
"Ding! The price of this order is 10 gold coins. The fee has been successfully deducted! "
Meg opened the third cupboard and took out an identical casserole. He nodded with satisfaction. The most time-consuming part of braised chicken was the half an hour of stewing. Increasing the number of casseroles was the easiest way to increase efficiency.

Blackie looked at Anthem and asked, "Boss, are we going to keep eating … looking?" The six hunters walked out of a barbeque shop with big bellies.
"Burp … Of course we are! We've already searched 88 places. If we give up now, we'll be eating for nothing! "Anthem rubbed his belly and waved his hand as he walked forward.
