Chapter 1109: Chapter 155: Immortal God Medicine, Live a Second Life! (6200)_2
"Hm." Yisen Gard said seriously, "I actually planned to share it with you after we reunited."
At this moment, Sio had finished exchanging pleasantries with Anfa. The Dragon Maiden enthusiastically described to Anfa the taste of the Elf Pastries and dishes she had tried along the way, giving high praise to the elvesâ culinary skills and expressing her desire to eat them again next time.
"The cook on the Siren is actually quite average. If you really enjoy it that much, wait until you get to World Tree City; thatâs where youâll find the best elf cuisine."
Anfa cares for Sio, much like a brother caring for a sister in the past, now like a sister caring for a younger sibling, with eyes lowered in a tender gaze. Honestly, upon knowing their ages, Ian thought Anfa could be considered a young mother to Sio.
After addressing Sio, Anfa came before Ian. She bent down earnestly to apologize, "Iâm sorry, Ian... The unexpected events during the Siren voyage were all due to my uncleâs plan... thankfully, you werenât harmed."
"Itâs not a major issue. Even without me, Master Glarvie could handle it himself."
Ian waved his hand dismissively, "Besides, I already discussed this matter with Chairman Yafarda."
"Speaking of which, Anfa, is this your real body?"
From the very beginning of his acquaintance with Anfa, Ian found it oddâwas Canaan Mooreâs Dragon Worship Cult really escorting Qing Steel Stone with only someone at the First Energy Level? Not to mention whether the power level was enough for escorting, having access to information of this level at the First Energy Level surely indicates the person is a member of a distinguished family, right?
If sheâs from a prestigious family and seems so familiar with Sio, then it seems unreasonable that someone who appears in their twenties would only be at the First Energy Level.
After learning of the existence of the artificial body, Ian vaguely understood that Anfaâs real identity might indeed be related to True Dragon or at least an elf with certain True Dragon abilities... Sheâor heâcould be someone capable of freely swapping artificial bodies for movement.
Itâs possible, just like Sio, Anfaâs real body may be unable to move for some reason or incapable of appearing in the public eye.
Itâs precisely because of this that she can be good pen pals with someone like Sio who shares similar circumstances.
"Hmm..." Hearing Ianâs question, the green-haired elf lady lowered her head, looked at her nimble, slender fingers, and couldnât help but sigh, "No, this isnât my real body. My real body isnât this beautiful... of course, itâs much better than the worst state Sio was in at the beginning."
Anfa shrugged, "But it doesnât matter that much. At least I can move, and my artificial bodyâs freedom is much greater than Sioâs."
"Compared to that, you mentioned talking with your uncle already?"
"Yes."
Ian picked up the teacup from the table, poured himself a pot of tea, and seeing Anfa still standing there, he led her to sit down beside him. "Donât be so tense, itâs all minor stuff, no need to keep apologizing."
"Eh? What about me?" Sio, seated on the opposite sofa, noticed Ian with Yisen Gard on one side and Anfa on the other, felt excluded and immediately protestedâthe young man sighed and stood up. "Then come sit here, Iâll stand, alright?"
Standing in front of his three friends, Ian recalled, "Chairman Yafarda is still a pretty interesting person."
"But also quite troublesome."
When Ian arrived at the Silver Gate Skyship with the Golden Candle Guardian, Chairman Yafarda was already waiting at the entrance.
Chairman Yafarda, with a dignified appearance and sharp eyes, is an elf of middle age, and his eyes reflect a ghostly silver light, carrying an undeniable aura.
But when facing Ian, he seemed very amiable and direct.
"Young friend Ian, that âthingâ in Master Glarvieâs hand has already come into your possession, hasnât it?"
He spoke, directly pointing out the fragment of the âLifeladder Tree,â which indeed caused Ianâs heart to be slightly surprised, but the young man quickly smiled and responded, "After all, I am an Inspector Knight; helping to recover The Empireâs valuable materials lost externally is part of my duty."
"I actually donât know the details of this matter, nor do I care much," Chairman Yafarda said calmly. "Compared to that, your alchemy skill is truly the important key... It seems Master Glarvie values you very much. He is aging, and you should respect the elderly properly."
"Youâre too kind. Thank you for your leniency, Chairman," Ian expressed his gratitude. "Yet the reward you mentioned, I am truly undeserving. The reason Siren could escape danger this time is entirely due to Captain Elden and my traveling companion Sio. I merely contributed a bit insignificantly."
"Youâre overly modest, young friend Ian." Chairman Yafarda laughed. "Without your help, even just your companion, those three Beast Kings definitely wouldnât leave so easily. Canaan Moore is grateful for your actions, and your future actions will continue to be promoted. Why not consider what kind of reward youâd like?"
"What do I need to do? Collaborating in the promotion is no problem, but mainly the extent," Ian pondered and asked, "Moreover, I will participate in the upcoming Exotic Species Research Institute exploration action. Will it interfere?"
"Of course not."
The chairman laughed, "On the contrary, there are even greater benefits. Speaking of which, as far as I know, young friend Ian, you are the Dragon Godâs Emissary, which means youâve received the True Dragonâs real inheritance, right?"
"Yes," Ian replied, and the chairman nodded. "Indeed, although it feels somewhat burdensome for the junior, I hope you can inform me of this through this transmitter when entering the third layer of the ruins. As long as you accomplish this, anything else will be negotiable."
