Chapter 41 is truly dragon dung!
Chapter 41 is truly dragon dung!
What kind of rare and precious material is this?
It can not only repair the hidden injuries in his body from years ago, but also enhance his physical vitality—no, his life force!
He only ate a tiny piece the size of his thumb and it had such a miraculous effect. If he took it every day, wouldn't his body function be able to return to its peak state?
Dalton was shocked. He only knew that the "Water of Life" from the Elven Court could increase vitality. He never expected that in addition to the "Water of Life" from the Elven Court, Lord Destin, the Lord of Thunder, also possessed a similar divine object.
No wonder even Princess Sophia is a follower of Lord Destin, the Lord of Thunder.
"I don't have many of these snacks left. I'll ask Lord Distin for some next time I see him, and I'll give you some then."
"No, no, Your Highness's kindness is appreciated, but such a divine object... it is already an honor for me to taste it once, and I dare not ask for more. Besides, I have not yet done anything for Lord Distin, nor have I become a guard for Princess Sophia's caravan..."
"Once I start working for Her Highness Sophia and achieve some results, it won't be too late for Her Highness to grant me one to try."
Dalton smiled and politely declined Sophia's offer. He had already received enough benefits, and he was determined not to gain any more from Princess Sophia before he had served her.
As for serving Lord Distin... with his current strength, he is not qualified to do so.
"There's no need to feel guilty about this. The little snack I gave you earlier, Lord Distin sometimes takes a bite and then throws it away. Sometimes he even uses these little snacks to cultivate some worthless trinkets..."
"?!"
Dalton's eyes widened in disbelief. He could hardly believe what he was hearing. This divine object, comparable to the Water of Life in the Elven Court, was something that Lord Distin didn't seem to care about at all.
Do you take a bite and then throw away the rest?
Could he work as a cleaner at Lord Distin's residence?
I'd even be willing to pay him out of pocket, even if it means not taking a salary.
What a waste...
With such a divine object, even if he stayed in Lord Distin's residence for several decades, he could become an "undying" level powerhouse.
"You stay here and take care of Leila, I'm going to get some breakfast."
"Wait, Your Highness," Dalton called to Sophia. "Your Highness, once Lyra wakes up and becomes a normal person, I would like her to become your maid and serve you."
"Sure, but you should still ask Layla if she's willing to be my maid. If she is, I have no problem with it. If she isn't, don't force her."
"Yes."
Dalton bowed to Sophia again.
Sofia went to the restaurant for breakfast.
Breakfast consisted of toast and a glass of warm milk.
Anna and Emily accompanied Sofia to the restaurant.
However, what they were drinking wasn't warm milk, but a tranquilizer.
Having confirmed that even living people could drink the sedative, Sophia gave Anna and Emily each a cup.
The last bit left in the bottle was just enough for Leila.
After drinking a bottle of soothing potion, Lyra became drowsy, probably because the potion was repairing her damaged soul.
Anna, dressed in knight's casual clothes, and Emily, dressed as a maid, exchanged a glance. They hadn't expected their lord to make them drink the soothing potion.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't envious of a soul-soothing elixir that could heal the soul.
The two of them picked up the tranquilizer and drank it all in one gulp.
"Neither of you should reveal Lord Distin's existence casually."
"Yes," Anna responded first.
"Your Highness, who is Lord Distin? I have never heard of this name, nor have I ever seen him enter or leave the castle."
Emily voiced the question that had been on her mind.
Sophia glanced at Emily, thought for a moment, and decided to reveal a little information to Emily.
Emily was also one of the people she trusted most. "You may not believe it, but I've decided to tell you a little bit about Lord Distin."
Lord Distin is someone I met in a dream. He's very strong and kind to me. You two will probably never meet him in this lifetime.
If you ever meet this man, you two must both respect Lord Distin as you would respect me.”
An adult I met in a dream?
This...this...this is too absurd!
Emily stared at Sophia for a while, then shifted her gaze to Anna's face.
Anna nodded to Emily.
It's actually true?!
Is this absurd thing really true?!
Emily's face turned serious. "Your Highness, are you being haunted by the legendary evil god?"
Given the absurdity and strangeness of the evil god, it's not impossible that the innocent and pure Princess Sophia would be targeted by it.
"Lord Distin is not an evil god. Alright, Emily, stop guessing. This is all the information I can reveal about Lord Distin."
Seeing that Sophia was unwilling to say more, Emily suppressed her urge to ask further. Anna had been watching over Princess Sophia and should not let her fall into danger.
A tranquilizing liquid, tree roots brimming with life force...
Such a being is beyond her ability to handle.
"By the way, Emily, what about what I told you yesterday? I feel that it's a bit of a waste for you to keep taking care of my daily life."
Emily remained silent. Princess Sophia had told her yesterday that she wanted her to be the leader of the Thunder Lord's caravan.
She thought "Lord of Thunder" referred to Princess Sophia, but it turned out to refer to Lord Destin.
Actually, she wasn't very keen on being the caravan leader, but if His Highness wanted her to be the caravan leader, she wouldn't refuse.
"If this caravan is important to Your Highness, I am willing to be its leader."
"It's very important! Extremely important! If it weren't important, I wouldn't have made Emily the caravan leader."
"Your Highness, rest assured, Emily will certainly not let you down."
As soon as Sofia finished breakfast and arrived in the garden, Agriculture Minister Connor appeared there.
Connor, with his dark complexion, noticed something: these past two days, the dogs that used to bark and chase after him whenever they saw him were now acting as if they had seen some terrifying monster.
They tucked their tails between their legs and stared at him in terror. Some dogs were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground and lost control of their bladder and bowels.
When he's home, there are far fewer insects and ants in the house.
When he went to the fields, the snakes in the grass would all jump and run away when they saw him.
This situation baffled him completely until this morning when he came to the castle to retrieve dragon dung from Princess Sophia...
He suddenly wondered if it was the dragon dung that Princess Sophia had given him that kept insects, ants, big dogs, snakes, and other small animals from bothering him?
Because he came into contact with dragon dung, he became tainted with the dragon's aura...
So...the fermented fertilizer that Princess Sophia gave him...was really dragon dung?
