Chapter 875 -41 Elder Sister-in-law, Your Sister is Awesome!_2
“Don’t rush, little one.”
Ulu smiled soothingly, looking up as if predicting the arrival of the petite figure hastening through the door,
“Look, here they come,”
At this moment, the Dwarf girl who once had an encounter with Luo En at the Guild briskly walked into the Tavern and placed a thick stack of commission letters onto the bar, then promptly addressed the people in the tavern:
“Gentlemen, a massive Dragon Disaster has erupted in Dwarf Country! It has already destroyed over a dozen Dwarf villages and blocked the trade routes between Dwarf Country and Midgard. The Guild is issuing an urgent bounty, calling adventurers of all levels to slay dragons! Rewards will be distributed based on the strength of the Dragon Beasts, and you can also pick a Magic Weapon produced by the Dwarfs’ workshop for free!
If you manage to kill an Upper Giant Dragon with a [True Name], you will receive a reward of three hundred thousand Gold Coins and a Divine Artifact custom-made by the craftsmen of Dwarf Country!”
Upon hearing the announcement from the young cashier, adventurers from various kingdoms in the tavern exploded in excitement.
Three hundred thousand Gold Coins and a custom-made Divine Artifact!
The rewards for this mission were incredibly generous, essentially securing a worry-free life for the successful.
Even if they couldn’t snag the ultimate prize, just killing one or two rampaging Dragon Beasts would bring substantial rewards.
As is widely known, Dragonkin have a penchant for collecting treasures; slaying them was akin to uncovering a treasure trove.
Moreover, the bodies of Dragonkin were also extremely valuable; Dragon Blood was a high-grade material for drawing Magic Circle Diagrams and scrolls, Dragon Meat was highly nourishing, and Dragon Scales and Dragon Horns could be used to craft Armor and weapons; indeed, their entire body was a treasure.
Plus, after completing the mission, one could also collect a Reward from the Tavern, making it a threefold victory.
Numerous adventurers with sparkling eyes rushed to the counter, grabbed the commission letters, and hurried towards the Magic Array, fearing that others might get ahead of them.
However, more experienced adventurers did not rush to act; they either gathered information, pulled together teams, or purchased supplies in advance.
High return comes with high risk, and the Guild, though wealthy, was not purely benevolent.
The lavish rewards were enough to showcase the urgency of the situation and the difficulty of the mission.
After all, Dragonkin ranked just below Giants and the gods in terms of individual strength!
Ordinary adventurers facing such top-tier mystical creatures were barely enough to fill a small gap.
Money and Divine Artifacts were tempting, but one must also survive to claim them.
Meanwhile, as adventurers in the Tavern each took their actions, Ulu also took a commission letter from the counter and handed it to Xili:
“To lift the Curse on Yenifa, you’ll need Dragon Blood, specifically from an Upper Giant Dragon with a [True Name]. According to my divination, you might try your luck in Dwarf Country.”
“That’s it? Why didn’t you say so earlier.”
Xili, while taking the commission letter, couldn’t help but complain,
“You’re a friend of my teacher after all, making me go around in circles before helping. I made a wasted trip to that village and even got myself embroiled,”
Upon hearing this, Ulu shook his head and said sternly:
“I may be close to Yenifa, but friendship is friendship, and business is business, everything has a price. If you want my help, you must provide equivalent labor, this is for your good. Things that come too easily often bear significant hidden risks.”
Luo En, listening to Ulu’s thoughtful words, found them profoundly true.
Having lived in the Nordic World for so long, he had also come to understand the underlying rules of this world.
As a world born from Sacrifice, its foundational code naturally revolves around [Sacrifice] and [Exchange], especially evident within its mystical system.

The more easily obtained, the more likely it harbors hidden risks.
Thus, a mutually indebted [Exchange] is truly in Xili’s best interest.
Moreover, when Xili had just arrived, the Dragon Disaster in Dwarf Country had not yet escalated. Even if Ulu wanted to help, there probably wasn’t an appropriate opportunity.
Unfortunately, Xili, still too young, failed to grasp this profound principle and felt that Yenifa’s friend seemed somewhat unapproachable.
Seeing the atmosphere grow a bit tense, Luo En took the initiative to change the subject:
“By the way, what happened with your teacher’s Curse that it requires Dragon Blood to dispel?”
“That’s a long story.”
Turning around, Xili began to recount the whole incident to Luo En.
Since Yenifa became her godmother and teacher, she stayed in the Sintra Kingdom and became a Court Mage.
However, having taken up such a position and getting involved in worldly royal power struggles was inevitably fraught with conflict.
Months ago, several Northern Kingdoms sent distress letters, alleging that a very powerful group of foreign Magicians was causing trouble in the Northern Realm and spreading heretical beliefs. Consequently, Yenifa led several High Order Mages from the Warlock Brotherhood to the scene to confront these foreigners.
In the end, although the Warlock Brotherhood narrowly won, they were all cursed mysteriously, suffering blindness, paralysis, or mental derangement.
On Yenifa herself, her skin hardened and grew strange scales.
After listening, Luo En frowned and asked,
“Where did those foreigners come from?”
Xili shook her head, somewhat helplessly:
“Not sure, I only heard from my teacher that they called themselves [Lake Fairy], and most members were women.”
Hearing the name of this organization, Luo En suddenly felt a sense of the absurd.
Lake Fairy? Good heavens, could it be those who created King Arthur from Avalon Island?
