Under the influence of the Blood Covenant, the spider-transformed elf didn’t hold back any information.
The truth finally came to light, but it wasn’t easy to accept.
Sofia’s mother’s name was Felina. She was a strong and talented ranger in the Dore Elf city state in the Dark Domain.
As Sofia had mentioned before, for some unknown reasons, not long after her mother brought her to the Dawn Forest, disaster struck.
The kind-hearted high elf village that took them in was ruthlessly plundered by the human army, and Sofia and some elves were taken captive as slaves.
As for her mother, she died on the front line, fighting as part of the resistance.
At the brink of death, the Spider Goddess Rose noticed the extraordinary Dore Elf and resurrected her with her divine power, turning her into a spider-transformed elf.
In Dore society, spider-transformed elves had always been the lowest and ugliest beings, barely distinguished from the slaves at the bottom of society.
Even after gaining a new life, Felina cursed herself for her new and filthy appearance.
But Rose promised her that if she could please her, she would help Felina return to her original form.
She could even elevate her to a divine emissary, granting her immortality and allowing her to serve in the Divine Kingdom.
How could Felina please Rose, though?
The wicked Spider Goddess showed her a clear path: Felina’s daughter Sofia was still alive and well in the world.
If she offered her daughter’s blood and head to Rose, the malicious Spider Goddess would be moved and delighted by her sincerity.
No more information could be obtained, as it seemed that Felina’s mental state was very abnormal at this time.
The fact she could provide so much information was entirely due to the effect of the Blood Covenant.
“Sob, sob…”
With a speechless expression, Otto looked at Welin, who was the one crying instead of Sofia.
Welin, looking like a blue-haired young girl, held Sofia in her arms, “I never thought… I never thought your past would be so pitiful, little boss.
From now on, let’s work hard together! As long as we do that, we’ll definitely be able to overcome all the difficulties in the world!”
It was only then that Otto understood why Konoheim still treated Welin as a child.
Look at her! She seemed nothing like an Elderly Blue Dragon, people would believe her to be a kind-hearted girl next door!
Compared to Welin, Sofia seemed much more calm, as it was hard to imagine she had gone through such events.
She was much stronger than Otto had imagined.
Originally, the main purpose of Otto bringing Sofia out this time was to go shopping in Black Gold City and let loose a bit.
They also planned to see with their own eyes the true face of the Bauhinia merchant group.
But now it seemed those plans should be put aside for the time being, as it wouldn’t be possible to enjoy themselves with Welin and Felina in tow.
More importantly, they didn’t have the mood for it now.
With that in mind, Otto looked at Sofia, whose expression was slightly dim, and made up his mind.
“Sofia, let’s cancel this trip for now. We’re going back.”
“Go back?”
Sofia was taken aback, then lowered her head: “I’m sorry, it’s all because of me…”
“What nonsense are you talking about!”
Otto lifted Sofia onto his shoulder with a laugh: “How long do you plan to maintain this appearance?”
Earlier, Sofia had used magic to revert herself back to a younger appearance to make Felina recognize her, but she hadn’t reverted back yet.
Amidst a surge of magical energy, Sofia restored her original appearance.
Welin, who had witnessed all this, immediately applauded and exclaimed: “You’ve really got a handle on your shape-shifting magic.”
Otto glanced at the dispirited Felina, then back at Welin, and asked her: “We’re about to head back home, what do you say? Do you want to return to that run-down little town?”
“We agreed on this before, you can’t just leave me behind like that!”
Welin said matter-of-factly: “Are you trying to go back on your word?”
“Such a small amount of money, I don’t even care about it…”
Otto suddenly smirked: “If you’re willing to come back with us, not only will I give you the gold coins that we agreed on, I’ll even double it!”
“Double? So that means…”
“200 Gold Moon a week! And on top of that, when you come with me to meet someone, you’ll get a bonus of 1000 Gold Moon!”
“This good?”
Welin looked at Otto with disbelief, and the latter stretched out his right hand, confirming: “That’s right, what do you say?”
“Deal!”
Welin had no doubts and immediately grabbed Otto’s hand, shaking it up and down.
Clearly, the glittering gold coins had dazzed her eyes.
Otto had already figured out how to go back. After contacting Saru through the Communication Scale, he and the others stayed in place and patiently waited.
When the first light of dawn appeared, a few Chimeras with Red Dragon heads flew over from the sky.
In the Soaring Dragon Legion, Chimeras with Blue Dragon heads were the majority.
However, to prevent Welin from noticing anything suspicious, Otto specifically requested Saru to send the rare Red-headed Chimeras.
Except for Felina, the other three each rode on the back of a Chimera.
As for Felina, due to her massive body, she was tied up with ropes and carefully lifted into the sky by four Chimeras.
“Do you two bosses live in Nolan Forest?”
Looking at the familiar forest in front of her, Welin was lost in thoughts.
Sofia didn’t want to talk at this time, while Otto used various trivial words to delay her.
When they flew above the Land of the Soaring Dragon, Welin was astonished with her mouth wide open.
“When did they build such a magnificent city in Nolan Forest?”
It had been two hundred years since Welin left Nolan Forest.
In her memory, the place should have been filled with towering ancient trees and traditional tribes that led primitive lives.
It was clear that since its inception, the Land of the Soaring Dragon must have undergone earth-shaking changes.
Firstly, there was no distinction between the inner and outer city. Instead, they now followed Otto’s suggestion of dividing the area into different rings, progressively.
Under the labor of the Kobold builders, sturdy and concise stone structures were being built in each ring.
Furthermore, Elise and the other Corrupted Elves had become the city planners of the Land of the Soaring Dragon. At their request, all the monsters living in the Land of the Soaring Dragon were forbidden from defecating anywhere they pleased.
Moreover, they planted highly ornamental trees, flowers, and plants near the plain houses and streets.
As Dain, who had visited Caran Royal City, put it, this was a veritable city of civilization.
