Chapter 55: 54. That's Fine

54. That's Fine

Li Ang was silent for a while and said: "I do."

He considered himself not to have done anything against his conscience. If it was really something important, he would definitely remember it.

So what if he promised?

Dorothy, who had a cold expression, raised her eyebrows. This was the biggest change in expression since Li Ang met her.

The thin and upturned lips of this lady moved slightly, and she took a breath.

"Then—"

Loud footsteps suddenly intruded. Li Ang looked in the direction of the sound, and two people walked down from the stone steps on the side.

Leading them was an old man with gray hair.

His hair and beard were trimmed meticulously. Black coat and white shirt, black bow tie and trousers, shiny leather shoes, standard butler attire.

The loud footsteps came from his heels stepping on the stone steps.

"Hofu," Dorothy said.

Behind the butler Hofu was a young girl. When she saw Dorothy, her face showed joy. She bypassed the butler directly, stepped on the flower bed beside the steps, and jumped in front of Dorothy.

"Senior Sister Campbell!"

This girl hugged Dorothy all of a sudden.

Compared to the slim lady, the suddenly appearing girl was half a head shorter. She had dark red long hair, a white shirt with a black sleeveless vest, and black long stockings that slightly squeezed out a circle of soft flesh under a red plaid skirt, tucked straight into a pair of high-top leather boots.

Her beauty was not inferior to Dorothy's at all. Compared to the lady's elegant charm, the red-haired girl's features were dyed with a bright color, and her dark yellow pupils were like brilliant flames. In terms of figure, the vitality of life pulled the curvature of the lines much more exaggeratedly than the lady.

What was most eye-catching about this girl wasn't her beauty, but the monster characteristics on her body.

At the hem of her vest, a pair of dragon wings and a dragon tail thicker than a thigh extended at the same time, covered with neat red scales.

Above her ears, between her red hair, a pair of horns that curved backward and were covered with ring ridges extended.

"Leona! Why are you here?" Dorothy asked.

This girl named Leona was not a "Dragon Race" or "Dragon Descendant," but a race classified as "Unknown."

To classify a race, they had to meet conditions such as the same characteristics and similar cultures. And those with monster characteristics like this girl were all individual cases.

They might have been born under the influence of magic disasters, or their families might have strange bloodlines that couldn't be explained, which stood out in a certain descendant. The existing knowledge in Newbis couldn't explain this phenomenon, so along with other unexplainable races, they were all thrown into the "Unknown" category.

It was somewhat similar to Zoe but completely different.

【Name: Leona Herian】

【Race: Unknown】

【Profession: Warrior, Rank 3. Wizard, Rank 3.】

【Energy Source: Dragon Blood Heart, Rank 5】

The panel of this half-dragon girl showed that her special bloodline provided her with an energy source, which gave her a high starting point, naturally possessing things that others might not be able to get after adventuring for many years.

Leona said to Dorothy, whom she called "Senior Sister": "I asked for leave a long time ago and rushed back all the way from Thousand Tower City, but I was blocked at the entrance of the shipping lane before."

It turned out she was one of the people on the airship blocked by the imperial army before, but she didn't recognize Li Ang at all.

"Why did you run so far even after asking for leave?" Dorothy asked.

"How could I miss Senior Sister's big life event?!"

The half-dragon girl was very excited, and she also noticed Li Ang on the side.

"Who is this?"

"A friend I knew before."

"Is he a Sky Knight?"

Li Ang's attire was different from ordinary citizens. Leona looked him up and down: "Which regiment are you in?"

"No regiment for now."

"Oh."

The half-dragon girl seemed to have wanted to chat, but hearing this situation, she turned her head away uninterestedly.

She continued to say to Dorothy: "I went to your house to find you, but Grandpa Hofu said you went out, so we came out to find you."

The old man named Hofu stepped forward, bowed to Li Ang, and then faced Dorothy: "Miss, your big life event is tomorrow, please don't be willful."

Dorothy nodded indifferently: "I know."

Leona clenched her fists on the side and gritted her teeth: "I heard that bastard Winders got into trouble. On such a day, does he know what's important..."

"Talk about it when we get back." Hofu interrupted Leona's chatter, his peripheral vision glancing at Li Ang.

"Oh." Leona realized she had made a slip of the tongue.

The actions of these two people made it seem as if Li Ang, who had originally been here, was the redundant one.

Hofu made a gesture of leading the way to Dorothy: "Miss, your brother will also arrive at Spark Port tomorrow to formally finalize various matters, please be prepared."

The old man walked forward, and Leona followed with two jumps, saying as she walked: "Although I envy that stinky man, I will wish Senior Sister happiness."

Dorothy lowered her eyes and didn't speak, but when they took a step, her body also followed unconsciously.

After walking two steps, she turned to the flower bed, lifted the flowers and plants that Leona had stepped on one by one, and then smiled lightly at Li Ang.

"I got the answer, that's fine."

She followed the two. The butler led the way, and the junior sister held her hand excitedly and kept saying something, but she just remained silent.

Li Ang stood in place and shook his head.

This is really... how should I put it?

He could see that Dorothy was being wrapped by various forces and moving toward a situation she didn't want. The old butler must also be clear about it. Only that half-dragon girl was noisy and seemed to have no concept of this.

In the end, Dorothy was just an old friend he hadn't seen for many years. Li Ang had no position to intervene in other people's affairs.

After they were out of sight, Li Ang continued to increase his exploration progress.

It was already evening. The ordinary residents of Spark Port were busy returning home for reunion, some vendors had already closed their stalls, and pedestrians on the road were decreasing, making his efficiency even faster.

On the map provided by the system, there were no places that were difficult to reach, or rather, the most difficult to explore clearly were the Count Finat mansion and the airport, but these two were Li Ang's starting points.

After reaching the end of a street, his exploration rate reached 89%.

In front was a downward staircase. It went straight to the edge of the air island. Outside the railing of the staircase, one could glimpse the scarlet earth below the clouds, and on the rock layer of the island on the other side, there was a metal grid door of a sewer.

After arriving here, the system gave a prompt.

【Prompt: Spark Island exploration rate reached 90%, hidden location: Urban Interlayer unlocked. Hidden locations contain rewards and secrets, please try hard to explore.】

The miniature map showed the "Urban Interlayer." Li Ang discovered that this hidden location had more than one entrance. Throughout the city, almost every one or two streets, there was an entry point.

This hidden location should cover a large range.

He immediately decided to go in and take a look.

Li Ang walked toward the nearest entrance, when suddenly a hand patted his shoulder. ===== CHAPTER 56 =====
