The group finally made it out of the dragon's lair. Outside the ice canyon, they found their Amos White Deer. Dragging the huge white dragon's head, they set off on their return journey. It hadn't been long since they had entered and exited, but the few of them felt like they had been in a lifetime. They had escaped from death, and everything that had happened inside seemed like a dream.
They all had some injuries on their bodies. April had also been imprisoned for a few months. Although she had been fed by the demonic dragons, being imprisoned in the ice cave for so long had left her in a very bad state. It was now winter, and the Amos Icefield would occasionally experience blizzards. The few of them had persevered for nearly twenty days before they were able to make it out of the Amos Icefield.
Looking at the familiar trees and forests that surrounded them, everyone knew that they were almost home. At that moment, Ibu came to Verthandi's side. "Will!"
Verthandi was also feeling a little bad at this time, but the Sword of the King in his hand would provide him with warmth from time to time, so he seemed to be in a good condition. Aaron and April, on the other hand, had suffered frostbite, and April had a high fever.
"What's wrong?"
Ibu hesitated for a moment, then said, "We can't let April leave the Amos Icefield alive."
Verthandi looked at Ibu and said angrily, "Why? She is our companion. "
Ibu immediately said, "I know. However, she is still the princess of Engido. She knows that you have the Sword of the King in your hands. If you let her go back alive, you will be in great trouble and in great danger."
Ibu immediately said, "Me, Tiridan, and Aaron, as long as you are willing, the three of us will be loyal to you. When you are made a baron, we are willing to become your knights. As long as you agree, I will immediately …"
Before Ibu could finish, Verthandi immediately rejected him with a righteous tone. "She is our companion. I am a knight. I have accepted the king's request to slay the evil dragon and rescue the princess. I will not allow this glory of justice to be tarnished by such an ugly thing."
Ibu sighed, and the few of them formed a formation as they walked out of the Amos Icefield. Verthandi was still worried, so she went to April, who was being pulled by the white deer. April had a high fever, and Verthandi treated her every day with the Sword of the King. Although this treatment was very effective for external injuries, it was much less effective for illnesses. This was especially true for April, who was in a very bad state. She had been in a world of ice and snow, and did not have enough food.
At that moment, April, who had been in a deep sleep, suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Verthandi. She coughed twice and said, "They told you to kill me, right?"
Verthandi was stunned, and immediately said, "This has never happened before, Your Royal Highness. Don't worry, we will definitely protect you until His Majesty the King."
April was wrapped up tightly, and a smile appeared on her blushing face. "You really are a true knight!"
"Ahem, come here, I have something to say to you!"
Verthandi leaned forward, and April suddenly kissed Verthandi on the lips. "Thank you, beautiful female knight!"
Verthandi's face suddenly turned red, and she was at a loss of what to do. She stood up in a panic, not understanding how April could tell. Verthandi had always been holding the ring given to her by her father, which could be used to hide her feminine features. It would also emit a special kind of information wave and spiritual guidance, causing people to deliberately ignore her identity.
When Verthandi was young, it was only to hide from enemies who might be investigating her. Later on, when she traveled around the Alen Continent, it was because her male identity was more convenient. However, what Verthandi was more confused about was what April meant.
At that moment, the team was already very close to the tribe's valley. They had even met some hunters who were out hunting, as well as some tribesmen nearby. Everyone saw the giant dragon's head behind them, and all of them gathered around with their mouths wide open. Before they even got close to the tribe, there were already a lot of people.
"It's them! They really made it back alive! "
"They really did it!"
Everyone had thought that they had died in the Amos Icefield, or at the hands of the giant dragon. No one had thought that they would come back alive, and even kill the evil dragon Froste.
In the tribe, Lu Zhiyu stood on the water tower halfway up the mountain. From here, he could see the team in the distance, and even Verthandi, who was walking at the front of the group. Lu Zhiyu stood on the wooden handrail of the water tower, and the cold wind blew against his cloak. At that moment, Lu Zhiyu looked completely different from before.
"It's almost time to leave!" Lu Zhiyu took off his hood and shaved off his beard. He looked ten years younger, like he was in his twenties. He sighed and walked down the water tower.
"Dragon! It's really a dragon! They killed the evil dragon!"
"The evil dragon Froste is dead! It's really dead!"
"They really did it!"
At that moment, the tribe was filled with people. Everyone was shocked to see the dragon slayer team dragging the giant dragon's head into the tribe's valley. Ibu immediately stood up and said, "It was Will who did it! He killed the giant dragon! He is a true dragon slayer, the strongest knight!"
"Will! Will! "
"Dragon slayer!"
Everyone cheered, and the entire tribe looked at Verthandi. Immediately, many people surrounded her, then lifted her up and carried her back into the tribe. The children in the tribe even put a garland on her head. Everyone cheered and welcomed them as heroes into the tribe's valley.
At that moment, Verthandi saw Lu Zhiyu. She immediately jumped down and rushed into Lu Zhiyu's arms. She said excitedly, like a child presenting a treasure, "Dad, I really did it! I killed the evil dragon! Dad, why did you lose your beard? Don't you treasure your beard the most? You said that beard is a symbol of a man's charm! "
Lu Zhiyu laughed. "It's nothing. I'm proud of you."
At night, the whole tribe fell into a carnival. Bonfires were everywhere, and everyone danced around the bonfires and the huge dragon head. Drinking wine and eating meat, Verthandi was also very happy. However, she couldn't hold her liquor. After being forced to drink for a round, she became drunk and went crazy.
At night, Lu Zhiyu and the chief of the tribe, Ibu, talked for a long time. He took out the badge that he had received when he found Verthandi. Ibu was so excited that he started crying. "I knew it was him! That golden hair, those golden eyes. The people of the Seville Empire have been waiting for him for a long time. God, you have finally sent him to us!"
The tribe was the most loyal subordinates of the Seville Empire. In other words, there were more than a dozen tribes that lived on the Amos Icefield. Hundreds of thousands of orcs were the most loyal subordinates of the Seville Empire. After the Seville Empire fell apart, the royal family of the Seville Empire was massacred by a few traitors, and the rest of the people were driven to the coldest ice field in the north.
When he adopted Verthandi, he saw the badge and knew who she was. She was a descendant of the royal family of the Seville Empire. All the orcs on the ice field were the most loyal subordinates of the Seville Empire, and were also Verthandi's subjects.
Ibu said to Lu Zhiyu, "Thank you. He is the true chosen king. I, Ibu, swear that I will be by his side for the rest of my life. I will never leave him!"
Lu Zhiyu nodded and took off the Baron Eranbell ring on his finger. Then, he took out another letter. "I was going to say goodbye to Verthandi, but I don't want to. I have something that I must do before I leave, and Verthandi belongs here. I think it's time for us to part ways. Please pass these two things to her for me!"
When he returned to his room, he saw Verthandi sleeping soundly. She was still mumbling about her father. Lu Zhiyu was amused. He sat on the edge of the bed and brushed her messy golden hair aside.
In the past ten years, he had watched her grow up from a child. Lu Zhiyu had forgotten that she was a child he had picked up from the streets. It was as if he had really become a native of the Alen Continent, Randhir Eranbell, and not Lu Zhiyu, the creator of this world, but a human from Earth.
Looking at Verthandi's face, Lu Zhiyu had a complicated look in his eyes. He looked at her and thought about the days he and Verthandi had lived together. She was cute, mischievous, angry, and shy. He knew everything about her, but she knew nothing about him.
The child would eventually grow up, and Lu Zhiyu knew that he would have to leave one day. However, when it was time for him to leave, Lu Zhiyu was reluctant to do so. He stayed by Verthandi's side until the sky turned bright. Then, Lu Zhiyu let out a long sigh. His whole body gradually turned into a ball of fluorescent light, which circled around Verthandi. Then, the fluorescent light condensed into an illusory head, which kissed Verthandi's forehead. Then, it completely disappeared into the air.
"Bless you, my daughter, Verthandi!"
