Chapter 184

Sylvan is more sensitive to the cold and needs to rely on magical runes to keep warm.

When Xie Juanhan and Telingewei arrived with hot milk tea and a molten pumpkin cake, all living things sensed it.

Redemption

"By the goddess above, I've been really looking forward to this hot milk tea these past few days."

"Oh, me too. My hands are so frozen they're curled up; I need hot milk tea to thaw them."

"To be honest, I've tried quite a few hot cakes from Ahaman's capital, but the cakes from your house, Lord White Dragon, are still the most delicious."

Sylvan said nothing, just sat quietly to the side, holding her milk tea, chewing the pearl balls inside with her cheeks puffed out.

The expression on its face as it chewed was remarkably serene.

Xie Juanhan said, "Thank you for your hard work. Let me take a look at the blueprints."

Sylvan quietly took out the construction drawings and handed them to him, then continued chewing her milk tea.

The Dwarf are quite skilled.

Sylvan also very reliable.

Xie Juanhan looked at the construction drawings and found that everything was going smoothly without any problems.

This surprised him a bit.

That's so rare.

Such a large construction site, yet not a single mishap has occurred.

Therefore, when Dwarf foreman arrived in a panic that afternoon, Xie Juanhan felt no surprise, only a sense of relief that "the trouble has finally come."

"Don't worry, let's talk slowly," Xie Juanhan comforted the Dwarf. "What happened?"

"Lord White Dragon!" the Dwarf chieftain said, panting, "It's not that something happened, it's a new discovery."

The Dwarf nearby excitedly chimed in:

"When we were working on the side, we discovered a huge rock underneath."

"There's an energy reaction inside the rock!"

"It doesn't look like ore, but rather like a processed container."

"We even sensed the presence of a dragon up there!"

Xie Juanhan's expression changed slightly as he heard the last part, and he instantly realized that the dragon aura the Dwarf were talking about could not possibly be the aura of Telingewei.

That must be the scent left behind by Telingewei's mother, Rheinhild!

Telingewei, who had just come up, paused for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "Take me to see."

The Dwarf immediately turned around. "Please come with us!"

Telingewei walked very fast with his long legs.

The Dwarf had to pant and struggle on their short legs until they could run and maintain their leading position.

Xie Juanhan grabbed Telingewei's hand and gestured for him to slow down.

He paused, then slowed down slightly.

The Dwarf turned their heads and cast grateful glances at Xie Juanhan.

A moment later, the Dwarf led Telingewei and Xie Juanhan to a large pit.

This large crater is more than ten meters away from the main body of the magic circle; it is an isolated crater.

The pit had just been dug, and the soil around it was still damp.

With each breath Xie Juanhan took, he could smell the unique scent of soil, tree roots, and stones.

Sure enough, a huge piece of grayish-white lava was buried beneath the dark brown soil.

Standing at the edge of the pit, they had no idea how large the lava below was.

Only a portion of the lava can be seen in the large pit that was dug out.

It's like opening a window in the lava.

They stood in front of the pit in human form, appearing exceptionally small.

One of the Dwarf said uneasily, "This lava was just discovered by our team. While repairing the array, we noticed a huge rock here. It didn't seem like a naturally occurring rock, so we wanted to come and dig it up to take a look."

The Dwarf nearby chimed in, adding their own comments:

"The rock clearly contains enormous energy."

"We can't tell what the energy inside is yet, but it doesn't seem dangerous."

"Maybe it's a supporting building for the magic circle? It doesn't seem to be on the drawings, and we're not sure. We can only feel the breath of the dragon on it."

Sylvan stood before the giant crater, carefully comparing the blueprints, and stated with certainty, "It's not part of the magic circle. Our magic circle blueprints are complete; there's absolutely no reason to add a giant rock brimming with energy."

Xie Juanhan looked at Telingewei.

Telingewei watched for a while, then jumped into the giant pit and bent down to touch the rough lava.

"It's definitely not part of the magic circle," Telingewei said.

The Dwarf looked at them with puzzled expressions.

Sylvan looked at him, waiting for his answer.

Xie Juanhan jumped into the pit to stay with him. "What's that?"

Telingewei: "It's the treasure left behind by dragons. Some dragons hide heat-resistant objects in lava, and only dragons can melt the lava and retrieve the items."

Telingewei looked up, a somewhat bewildered expression on his face. "These should be a batch of Demonic Core that my mother hid?"

A Dwarf shouted, "Why hide the Demonic Core inside? It's not that big; that dragon lord could easily scoop it up and take it away!"

Before he could finish speaking, several hands reached out at the same time, and huge fists slammed into his head, making him shrink back and almost shrink his head into his chest.

Telingewei whispered, "Yes, she could take it, but she left these Demonic Core behind."

Xie Juanhan held his hand tightly. "Because she wanted to leave it to you."

Telingewei looked up at Xie Juanhan.

Xie Juanhan stared at the boulder beneath his feet. "When she went to other planes, you hadn't hatched yet. She wanted to leave the Demonic Core to you, so she could only seal it in lava."

The Dwarf chieftain said, "Lord White Dragon's guess makes a lot of sense. We've done a preliminary calculation, and this rock is at least eighty meters long, fifty meters wide, and twenty meters high. Aside from melting it on the spot, no other creature could move it."

Telingewei remained silent.

Xie Juanhan gently patted his shoulder.

The reason why the dragon lady left the boulder here instead of in the Magic Forest is also easy to explain.

Leaving a large fortune in the Magic Forest is risky for a young Black Dragon.

Staying on the Kaonielin Plain, near the magic circle she had left behind, was much safer.

As long as Telingewei wants to find her and leave this plane, the keyword will inevitably trigger Harper and the others' memories.

By following the location in Harper's memory and repairing the magic circle, they will surely find the boulder with the Demonic Core hidden underneath.

That legendary, carefree, decisive, and unconventional dragon lady had given considerable thought to the matter of Telingewei.

Today is not a good day to work.

Xie Juanhan whispered a few words to Sylvan and the Dwarf foreman, then came over and took Telingewei's hand. "Let's go back first."

Telingewei grasped his hand back, and said absentmindedly, "Okay."

As he spoke, Telingewei was about to transform into a dragon.

Xie Juanhan pulled him. "No, I'll carry you on my back today."

Xie Juanhan Sylvan and the Dwarf by the giant pit, then transformed into White Dragon and carried Telingewei into the sky.

Once high in the sky, Xie Juanhan changed direction and didn't fly towards the forest cabin.

Telingewei snapped out of his daze, "Where are we going?"

"Let's go to the Sea of Clouds Cottage," the White Dragon said. "We need some time and space to be alone."

Telingewei paused for a moment, then said, "Okay."

The White Dragon turned around and comforted him, "I've already spoken to Sylvan, and he'll tell Sylvan and Harper others later. Don't worry about home."

Telingewei's response was to hug the White Dragon tightly.

Before even reaching the Sea of Clouds Cottage, Telingewei spoke softly, "I've never really had much of a concept of my mother; she left us too soon."

White Dragon glanced back at him and replied softly, "I know you have a blood-related concept of a mother, but not an emotional one."

Telingewei's cheek pressed against the White Dragon's back. "Yes, I've never had a concrete, emotional concept of a mother. I've never missed my mother."

Perhaps only Xie Juanhan understands these words.

Telingewei spoke softly of his impressions of his mother.

He was grateful to his mother for using the Life Magic to guide his Magic Power and create Harper and the other warm, eternally youthful Dragon Companion Beast.

When he was still a little dragon, he could spend many lonely and cold nights huddled deep in the cave with these warm, soft, furry little beasts.

But that's about all I remember.

He has a biological mother, but he lacks a mother figure in his life to whom he can project his emotions.

Xie Juanhan, unaware of when, flew with him to the top of an unfamiliar mountain, transformed into human form, reached out his hand, and quietly embraced him.

Telingewei placed his hand on Xie Juanhan's arm.

Xie Juanhan wrapped his arms around him, pressed his head against his, and silently comforted him.

This made him feel a clear sense of love.

Telingewei whispered to Xie Juanhan, "Recent discoveries have made me realize that I've always been loved by my mother."

Xie Juanhan said, "Yes, we all love you deeply."

Xie Juanhan looked into Telingewei's eyes and said again, "You are the one we chose ourselves, not someone fate or anything else forced upon us. You know, we have always had the right to choose."

Telingewei closed his eyes and then opened them again, reaching out to hug Xie Juanhan: "Mmm."

See you tomorrow!

Chapter 184 [VIP]

As night fell, the White Dragon carried Telingewei and landed on the hillside where the Sea of Clouds Cottage was located.

The sunset on the mountain is later than that on the grassland.

At this moment, sunlight pierced through the clouds, casting several beams of light.

The setting sun, like molten gold, flowed from the sky to the mountaintop, setting the entire snow-capped peak ablaze.

When the wind blew the snow dust off the mountaintop, it looked as if it had torn open a huge patch of flame.

The scenery was so magnificent that the two dragons watched quietly, their hearts gradually becoming peaceful.
