59. Magic Life Flower (Please follow)

"The number one top-tier regiment, called Soul Apex. You adventure all year round, you wouldn't not know, right?"

Dorothy said very seriously.

"That I do know."

"The regiment leader of the top four top-tier regiments can become a member of the Knight Resolution Council that decides the order of the sky, basically allowing members to act recklessly. My family took a fancy to his family background and his status as a top-tier regiment member, and now their determination is even firmer."

She made Soul Apex sound very powerful. However, now, the regiment leader of Soul Apex, Rams, was not a member of the Resolution Council, because the members of the Resolution Council changed once a year.

This position was of course what Rams dreamed of, but if Soul Apex dropped out of the top four before the change, then he would miss the dream.

"Act recklessly, that's not that exaggerated." Li Ang said.

After becoming the top four, the entire Sky Knight regiment would become the focus of the sky. Instead, they didn't dare to be too arrogant. There were many teams in the front row hoping to catch their handles, send some people to prison, and then let their strength drop so they could replace them.

"What you say is like you are also a top-tier regiment member. Winders dared to go block the shipping lane alone. Isn't this exaggerated enough?"

"This has something to do with your empire, right?"

"The Empire, sigh, my family is the same. I don't know what kind of spell they're under, but they've made up their minds to throw themselves... or to be precise, to return to the Empire's fold."

"Winders has already been captured by us. He violated Guild laws for local forces, and it is estimated that he will soon be kicked out by Soul Apex to shirk responsibility."

"I saw fire near the Count's mansion before. I think he has already escaped? Don't underestimate Count Finat, he has quite a bit of skill."

"I'm just going to see."

Li Ang discovered before that there were also secret passage exits in the Count's mansion, and there was more than one.

So the direction he chose all the way was generally moving toward the Count's mansion.

He didn't rush directly there because it was still early. If he investigated while moving forward, he would just reach there in the middle of the night, which was convenient for action.

The appearance of the Annihilation Knight had something to do with Count Finat. The black knight should have attacked Lancelot first, and after finding that Li Ang wasn't together, he came out to look for him.

He had to confirm Lancelot's safety. This guy had ordinary strength among the elites of the Order Flame Regiment. He definitely couldn't beat the black knight head-on, but he should have a chance if he ran.

"Really?"

The interest in this matter appeared on Dorothy's enchanting face.

"Spark Port has a legend that some treasures from the war many years ago are hidden in certain places, and those places are only known to Count Finat."

"Then we have to look for them carefully."

Li Ang said again: "In short, he is a top-tier regiment member, but broadly speaking, Sky Knight regiments ranked in the top dozens can be called top-tier regiments. If you keep adventuring and refine your professional skills, you also have a chance to join them now."

"But I don't have... don't have..." Dorothy hummed lightly: "Anyway, it's all your fault. If... if... maybe I would..."

My fault?

Before Li Ang could fully grasp the connections here, Dorothy suddenly quickened her pace, pushing past him into the narrow secret passage ahead.

"Watch your step."

Li Ang reminded.

Dorothy walked out a few more steps after his reminder, then stepped on an unstable stone brick and sprained her foot. She slid to the ground holding the wall, and her skirt stretched out a clear, plump arc.

"Come, I have healing spells." Li Ang walked up.

Dorothy shook her head: "It's okay, I'm fine."

Looking at her posture, that sprain was very severe, but she touched her ankle and successfully stood up, continuing to walk.

The wound on her hand before was also self-healed without a trace. Was it a special spellcasting without a trace, or was her recovery power very high?

Li Ang opened her panel.

【Name: Dorothy】

【Equipment: None】

【Ultimate: None】

【Combat Power Boost: 0】

What is a Demon-Flower?

Li Ang had heard a similar name before, but he wasn't sure if it was the same thing as what was before him. This parasitism... was it a good thing?

【Skill: Life Solidification】

【Activation Method: Passive】

【Before the Demon-Flower matures, it will ensure the host's life continues.】

【Skill: Summon Demon-Flower】

【Activation Method: Mental Call】

【Call upon the immature Demon-Flower to bare its fangs and launch a violent attack on enemies.】

This girl...

So that's how it is.

Although he didn't know the details of the Demon-Flower, this power was clearly different from Leona's innate condition; it was acquired. While it brought powerful self-healing, in the end, it would...

Li Ang took a deep breath and walked over to Dorothy.

"If you want to go on an adventure, it's not too late to start now—"

Dorothy didn't hear what he said clearly; she just said, "I'm hungry."

"You didn't eat dinner?"

"I was in a bad mood, so I didn't."

Dorothy continued, "I can't walk anymore, my feet hurt, I'm done for."

"How long has it even been? Let's take a break then."

"The ground is so dirty and cold."

Li Ang had the wind elemental summon that had been following him in a gaseous state condense into a solid air mass to serve as a makeshift chair.

"Wow, it's so soft, but the support is just right. Can I issue a commission to you? Can you use this thing to make me a bed every time I sleep?"

"... Issuing commissions to me is very expensive."

Who uses a 7th-rank elemental summon as furniture?

"I still have a little private savings."

Li Ang sat down on the wind elemental as well and took a bag of dumplings out of his pack. They were a bit like the sticky rice pastries from Earth, but the ingredients were exclusive to Newbis.

He had bought them earlier while increasing his exploration progress on the street. This kind of food, which was easy to carry and filling, was quite cost-effective for adventures, and it was a nice novelty to try.

"Ah, these are the cloud dumplings from that shop on Sixth Street. Actually, for cloud dumplings, I still recommend the one on the commercial street."

"Do you want one?"

"I want the pink strawberry-flavored one, one is enough."

Seeming to sense that Li Ang was on the verge of exploding, she obediently took off her gloves, reached out to pick up the pink dumpling, and ate it in small bites.

Li Ang noticed that the hand she used to take the dumpling was not the left hand she had slit earlier—the left hand had been healed by his spell—but at the edge of her right sleeve, he could faintly see dense, crisscrossing scars.

After eating, there was a moment of silence before Dorothy suddenly asked, "I'm very useless, aren't I?"

"Yes."

"You really don't hold back."

The lady wasn't angry; she said with a dazed expression, "I've only been out for a short while, I can't light a lamp, I can't walk steadily, I can't endure hardship—that's right, I'm that kind of person, a good-for-nothing who can't do anything without being taken care of."

In some parts of Newbis, nobles also had all sorts of extravagant and decadent habits. Dorothy wasn't quite at that level, but people like her weren't rare.

"I can't even imagine now, eight years ago, how I dared to go on an adventure alone just out of spite? If it weren't for someone taking care of me in every way, I probably wouldn't have lasted at all; I would have cried and gone home after three days at most."

The lady hugged her knees, her waist and hips rising and falling. She rested her cheek on her legs, secretly watching Li Ang.

"Can you guess who that person was?"
