Chapter 1026: Chapter 503: Special People (2)

Since everyone is scheming for their own interests, shouldn’t I also make sure I’m not losing out?

Falo suddenly felt she could breathe again, but the only regret was that she could no longer gaze directly into the sea-blue eyes of that blond young girl.

The shackles that bind the masters and parents are also tied to herself. The Alma Family actually knows what she is doing, and she has a way to get away, so it won’t matter much.

Except that she might be shouted at and condemned by the family’s young mistress, who is slowly growing stronger.

Forget it, bleeding out in the darkness might be her destined fate.

The door of Mikuri Vault slowly opened, the dust of eight hundred years surged forth imminently, yet what appeared before the expectant couple and the elder from the Bapnis Family were just scenes of treasures gnawed down to nothing.

The only thing emitting light was a long sword suspended high, with firelight dancing on the sharp blade.

"Is that the first Treasure Artifact forged by the ancestors?"

Just as the couple were still excited, a green giant dragon raised its long neck from amidst the remnants of treasure, its wicked eyes reflecting all the people present.

After that day, Farlonio Ernest broke free from the shackles of life, but donned a new set of shackles.

Because she "carries an aura that can attract wealth," the Dragon Lord Valarg chose her, letting this person with the potential to become a wealthy merchant acquire wealth for it, while it bestowed her with the power to surpass past restrictions.

She could not refuse.

However, possessing the ability to leap dimensions, even if the people of Sword Platform Island suspected her of murdering her parents and masters, they could do nothing to her.

...

When Farlonio snapped back to reality, she then realized she had been lost in reminiscence at some unknown point, now unable to tell which parts had been verbalized and which parts were too difficult to speak, hence remained hidden.

However, judging from the expressions of the four people in front of her, it should be... alright?

"That’s a slip-up, talking like this was a slip-up, since those old geezers spoke rather unpleasantly before, I was holding back my frustration today as well," she said.

Li Ang chuckled lightly and softly said to her, "We know about your past with that dragon. It’s okay, starting now, even though the Obedience Curse is still upon you, it’s considered broken. Valarg will surely return, right? When it returns, we just kill it. I doubt its scale armor can withstand the Power of Apocalypse."

Fafnir couldn’t resist Meluna’s Water of the End, so naturally the Jade Dragon King couldn’t withstand the Fire of the End.

Next, everyone discussed the plan for the future.

After meeting up at Sword Platform Island with Elaphia, the next task is to gather the Divine Artisan’s Five Swords to unlock Ernest’s real Treasure Vault. Since even the Mikuri Vargas, which Farlonio’s parents managed to obtain, could find Passionate Talent, the relics opened by these five swords supposedly holds something worthwhile.

Therefore, today we’ll only rest at the First Sword Peak for one day, and tomorrow everyone will proceed towards the Secret Realm that holds the remaining two swords.

"I want to familiarize myself with the equipment here today," Li Ang said.

Actually, he also intended to freeload the precious materials from the wealthy Elaphia’s family here, where he could also boost his Artisan Level.

"I’ve said before to take whatever you need, no need to hesitate," the blond young girl said generously.

It seems that despite troublesome family relations, her control and authority remain unwaveringly solid.

Li Ang started working by the furnace, while the blond young girl sat on the Flying Sword watching him, with no intention of leaving.

Lily and Diao exchanged a glance, then were pulled aside by Falo, who whispered something that led them out of the forging room.

In the spacious room, apart from the flickering firelight, flowing magic power according to the artisan’s will, and the sounds of hammering, there were only the Spiritual Forger and Blade Master, this pair.

Elaphia earnestly watched Li Ang create equipment for a while, then lightly cleared her throat and began to speak.

"Um, just now, when she spoke about the time we met, what do you think?"

Feeling the young girl’s voice was slightly tense, Li Ang looked at her from the side, pondered for a few seconds, then seriously said, "I think it’s quite good, you two could acknowledge each other, perhaps because your circumstances were somewhat similar at the time? In such a case, having someone to relate and confide in is greatly beneficial."

Elaphia lightly scoffed, "You mean to say, she and I are like young beasts licking each other’s wounds, right? You scoundrel."

"I haven’t used such a rhetorical device," Li Ang raised his hands, indicating he was wronged.

The blond Douding’s face showed a hint of a smile, instantly dispelling the shadow cast by the various matters from just now.

She smoothed her hair beside her temples, "At that time, I was indeed quite happy. Moreover, she actually didn’t know, before talking to her, I had already seen from the upstairs, the scene where her parents sent her here. You can’t imagine, the stark contrast between the parents’ eagerness and humility against her face’s cold indifference."

Li Ang really imagined it for a moment, then shook his head, "As you said, I can attempt to understand, but truly can’t feel the conflict brought by that scenario."

"Seeing her with her parents, I actually pondered more about myself."

Li Ang slowed his movements, attentively listening to Elaphia speak.

"You already know, my talent isn’t at the Warrior level."

"Yes."

"So naturally, as long as I hadn’t left Sword Platform Island and hadn’t yet entered the Excellence Realm, no one had high hopes for me."

The blond young girl shook her head, "When my brother hadn’t been born yet, I was the sole one for my parents then. They loved me abundantly and understandably. Hence, I didn’t think I was special, because between people, no one is entirely the same.
