Big … Big Sister Yi, how did you find me? "
Yabemiya asked after calming herself down. She turned to Elizabeth with a curious look on her face.
"I obtained the ring that Father left behind. He told me of your existence, and I found you through the information he left behind." Elizabeth opened her palm to reveal the ring that she had entrusted to Mia for safekeeping.
"Even though Father didn't come to find you, he still felt very guilty. This ring contains his gift to you. It's a golden dragon origin. After absorbing this dragon origin, you'll be able to shed the shackles of being a half-dragon and become a true giant dragon." Elizabeth placed the ring in Mia's hand.
"Become a true giant dragon?" Yabemiya looked at the ring in her hand with a hint of hesitation in her eyes.
Elizabeth replied, "Giant dragons soar in the sky, and are the most powerful beings on the Norland Continent. After becoming a giant dragon, you'll possess immense power. Then, you'll be able to protect yourself and everything that you want to protect."
"Protect the people that I want to protect …" Yabemiya looked up at Elizabeth, and a determined look appeared in her eyes. She nodded vigorously, and said, "I want to become a true giant dragon. I want to protect you, and I won't let anyone hurt you."
Elizabeth looked at Mia. A half-dragon who only possessed brute strength was saying that she wanted to protect an 8th-tier giant dragon like her. What a laughable declaration. However, her heart was filled with warmth when she heard those words.
Even her parents had always told her that she had to become powerful in order to protect herself. They had never told her that they would protect her.
"You'll be able to consume this golden dragon origin in 10 days. When you become a true giant dragon, I'll begin to teach you how to cultivate and how to fight."
"What about you? Will you stay? The boss has already agreed to let you go for the interview. If you want, you can come with me to the restaurant for the interview today. "Yabemiya looked at her with anticipation in her eyes.
Elizabeth hesitated for a long while. She looked at Yabemiya's expectant expression, and finally nodded. "Alright."
"Great!" Yabemiya was pleasantly surprised. She wiped the tears off her face and pulled Elizabeth to sit by the window. "I have so many questions to ask you …"
…
"Speak, where did you go last night? Where did you go tonight? "
In the stone house, Benjamin looked at Rachel sternly, his voice full of sternness.
Rachel lowered her head and did not dare to look at Benjamin. She said softly, "I … I wasn't feeling well yesterday, so I went home early. This morning … this morning …"
"This morning, Rachel accompanied me to look for my father." Just then, a voice came from the door, and Hada walked in. He glanced at Rachel, and then knelt down in front of Benjamin. He looked at him sincerely, and said, "Uncle, please let Rachel marry me. I will treat her well and not let her suffer at all."
Hearing Hada's voice, a hint of shock flashed across Rachel's face. However, seeing Hada kneeling in front of her father, the nervousness on her face turned into joy and gratitude.
"You … What are you doing? Stand up!" Benjamin looked at Hada, who was kneeling in front of him, and said unhappily, "You can't even take care of yourself. What right do you have to say that you will treat my Rachel well and not let her suffer? When Rachel marries you, she will have to support you and the old blacksmith. I will never agree to this! "
Hada's eyes dimmed. He looked at his two broken fingers, and did not know what to do for a moment.
Rachel also knelt in front of Benjamin. She looked at him with a determined expression, and said, "Father, I am willing to marry Hada! I am willing to live with him. No matter if it is rich or poor, I am willing to bear it with him. "
Hada's eyes lit up. He looked at Rachel, and Rachel looked back at him. Their eyes met, and their feelings were strong.
"You … Stand up!" Benjamin looked at Rachel. He was so angry that his beard was trembling.
"If you don't agree, I won't stand up." Rachel shook her head.
"I will never agree even if I die!" Benjamin waved his sleeves and stood up. He walked into the house angrily, and slammed the door shut.
The two of them knelt on the ground for a while in silence. Hada stood up, and reached out to help Rachel up. He said apologetically, "I'm sorry, it's me …"
"You are very good. It's just that my father is too stubborn." Rachel reached out to cover Hada's mouth gently, and shook her head. Her eyes were glistening with tears.
Hada's gaze became determined. He held Rachel's hand, and gently said, "I will think of a way to resolve this matter. Don't be too sad, and don't make uncle angry. He is not young anymore. It will be bad if he falls sick from anger."
"Okay." Rachel nodded, and a smile appeared on her face. No matter what others thought, this man always made her feel at ease.
"Silly girl, how many hardships have you experienced in this world? If you marry that silly boy Hada, I don't know how much more hardships you will have to endure in this lifetime. How am I going to meet your dead mother?" Benjamin leaned against the door and sighed deeply.
…
"It's all my fault. I'm such a useless old man. I can't even help Beck marry the girl he likes …" Angus sighed in self-reproach, and his eyes were full of sorrow.
…
A black horse-drawn carriage stopped in front of Amy's. Michael alighted from the carriage, and looked at Meg, who was lying leisurely on a deck chair at the door, basking in the sun. He smiled, and said, "Mr. Mak, I hope I didn't disturb your mood by coming uninvited?"
There was a small coffee table beside the deck chair. There was a small stove on it, and tea was brewing. The water was already boiling, and the aroma of the tea filled the air.
Meg opened his eyes when he heard the sound. When he saw Michael walking over, he hurriedly stood up, and said with a smile, "Thank you for coming, City Lord. It was my fault for not welcoming you at the door. May I know what brings you here?"
"I have something to trouble Mr. Mak with." Michael turned a chair at the side around and sat down beside the coffee table. He smiled, and said, "Mr. Mak, aren't you going to treat me to a cup of tea? This aroma is much more alluring than my tea leaves. "
"Thank you." Meg also sat down with a smile. He poured a cup of black tea into a purple clay cup, and placed it in front of Michael.
Michael picked up the teacup and took a sip. His eyes lit up, and he nodded with a smile. "Good tea."
After putting down the teacup, Michael looked at Meg, and said, "Mr. Mak, I'm here because of the missing person notice you posted yesterday. I heard that the old man had already found his son through the portrait you drew. Last night, the city lord's castle and the Gray Temple carried out 'Operation Daisy'. With the help of a mysterious hero, 403 children were rescued. Some of the children have been kidnapped for many years, and they look different from before. I want you to draw a portrait of their parents for those children. Is that possible? "
"500 copper coins for one." Meg looked at Michael with clear eyes.
"Host! How can you bargain like that?! "The system's indignant voice sounded.
