Chapter 222: 220 Great Kind Dragon Welin_1
It seemed that Welin did not want to let Otto and Sofia go easily.
Looking at her, Otto frowned, thinking that Welin seemed to take him for a fool.
At this moment, Sofia, who was sitting on Otto’s shoulder, suddenly asked: “By the way, we don’t even know your name yet.
You just said we’re friends, right? So, let’s start with a self-introduction.”
“How rude of me, I forgot!”
The blue-haired girl hesitated for a moment and then touched her head, embarrassedly saying, “Welin, just call me Welin!”
Well, now it’s settled.
Sofia and Otto exchanged a bitter smile and communicated with their eyes.
“I’m Sofia, and he’s Otto.”
Then, Sofia continued: “It seems that you are indeed short of money lately.
Fortunately, we’re also in need of an attendant for odd jobs, would you be interested?”
Seeing that they couldn’t shake off this trouble, they might as well be generous and keep her with them, as a favor for Konoheim.
“Attendant?”
Hearing this, Welin quickly waved her hand and said, “Forget it. Even if I’m short of cash, I can’t swallow my pride and be someone else’s attendant!”
“One hundred gold moons…”
“What?”
Sofia raised a finger and said with a smile: “I mean, I’ll give you a shiny hundred gold moons as payment every week!”
“Deal!”
Welin agreed, very decisively.
Moreover, in order not to let Sofia regret it, she immediately grabbed the elf girl’s delicate hand and shook it up and down, as a sign of a completed deal.
Meanwhile, in the Land of the Soaring Dragon, Konoheim was deep into scrutinizing a thick book he was holding.
Suddenly, his eyes seemed to reveal something, he slapped his thigh angrily and exclaimed, “My precious daughter, why did you have to be so reckless and sell yourself for a hundred gold moons a week?
If you needed money, you could have just asked me, and I would have given you as many gold moons as you wanted…”
It seemed that this Brass Dragon, a serious daughter-lover, had installed many methods to keep an eye on Welin in the Dragon Bone Wasteland.
He couldn’t rest assured that his dear daughter was left in the wilderness pretending to be an adventurer.
What if she came across a bad guy who deceived her?
Sofia was sitting on Otto’s shoulder, swinging her little legs and feeling cheerful.
The blind folks from before were left behind, while Otto and Sofia followed Welin out of Loess City.
Why follow Welin? Because she insisted that they go somewhere before leaving.
Following Welin, they quickly arrived at an even more run-down and impoverished town than Loess City.
As soon as they arrived, they were warmly welcomed.
To be accurate, the one who received the warm welcome was actually Welin.
“The big sister’s back!”
A large crowd of old, weak, sick, and disabled dressed as mercenaries or adventurers from various races immediately surrounded her.
At first, Otto was worried that he was targeted again, fearing another plan to rob the rich and help the poor.
But soon, he breathed a sigh of relief seeing that they were all smiling warmly at Welin and inquiring about her well-being.
They surrounded Welin in the crowd, while Otto and Sofia were seemingly ignored.
Among them, a young boy was bravely holding onto Welin’s slender leg and declared, “Welin, once I grow up, I’ll definitely marry you!”
Standing aside, Otto looked admiringly at the courageous boy.
A normal Blue Dragon would probably have returned to its true form and swallowed him after hearing such a statement.
But even more surprisingly, Welin, being the dragon involved, not only didn’t do that but gently rubbed the boy’s head and said softly: “That can only happen after you grow up! Have you been eating well lately?
I heard from Uncle Auton that you’ve been picky about eating cactus again.”
After bypassing the embarrassed boy with a flushed face and a bowed head, Welin chatted about daily life with a group of people.
Then, to Otto’s astonishment, she handed over all the gold moons to an old half-sheep man.
“Auton, I’ll be away for a while, take care of the town in the meantime.”
The old half-sheep man wiped tears from his eyes and nodded repeatedly.
Standing nearby, Otto and Sofia looked at each other, feeling like they were dreaming.
They wondered, is the girl with blue hair in front of them really a Blue Dragon and not a Silver Dragon?
Logically speaking, only Silver or Golden Dragons, who considered themselves righteous partners, could do such a thing, right?
Moreover, even the good-natured Golden or Silver Dragons would not give away their entire fortune so easily.
After a while, Otto and Sofia walked ahead, while Welin reluctantly bade farewell to the townspeople before catching up.
“What’s your relationship with those people?”
When Welin walked up to her, Sofia couldn’t help but ask that question.
Welin blinked and said frankly: “Actually, there’s no special relationship. Most of them are homeless, or they’ve been abandoned.
Some have been abandoned by merchant groups or mercenaries because of physical defects, while others are refugees who have fled here due to war.
If we left them to their own devices, they probably wouldn’t last long…”
“I didn’t expect that; you’re pretty compassionate….”
Seeing Otto’s strange expression, she could hardly believe a dragon like her would easily part with her treasures.
The hard-earned coins were given to people who should have been unrelated to her.
Suddenly, Otto thought that if Welin could become a priestess for the Mother of Evil Dragons, Tiamat,she might be very successful.
After all, Tiamat’s offspring would feel great pain upon parting with even two copper coins as offerings.
“Let’s not talk about that for now; where do you want to go?”
Welin swiftly changed the topic, smiling and saying, “Not to boast, but I know quite a lot about the Dragon Bone Wasteland. Maybe I can help you save a lot of effort by taking shortcuts.”
“If that’s the case, then I won’t be shy.”
Otto smiled and said, “Our main goal is to visit Black Gold City; we heard it’s the most prosperous city in the Dragon Bone Wasteland.”
“Black Gold City?”
Having just said all that, Welin seemed somewhat hesitant.
If she remembered correctly, Black Gold City was Konoheim’s territory.
If it wasn’t absolutely necessary, she didn’t want to meet Konoheim.
At this time, Welin did not know that Konoheim had already arrived in the Land of the Soaring Dragon, and her every move had long been known to him.
