"Ouch, it hurts."
"Where did this monster woman come from?
She's at least a Magister, right? "
"There's a Magister in Hillard?"
"Tsk … I remember now!"
An adventurer slapped his head and said, "I heard from a friend that a white-haired girl has been appearing in many port cities recently. She seems to be looking for someone."
"That's strange. Is she a firm believer in the existence of dragons?"
"I don't know."
…
Without the threat of the zero tide, the construction of Ford Island was put on the important agenda of the empire. What made the imperial family a little unhappy was that Grand Duke Rose had bought Ford Island in advance, so the construction of Ford Island was handed over to the Rose Family.
The reason why the imperial family was willing to hand over Ford Island to the Rose Family was because no one knew if or when the next zero tide would come.
The Rose Family took the risk and invested a lot of energy. In less than a year, they made Ford Island look brand new.
Now, Ford Island had tourists from different places every day, including the faraway Federation.
To ensure the safety of the tourists, the Rose Family opened up a safe route in the endless sea of stars and killed countless sea monsters and sirens.
The Rose also became a VIP cruise ship …
Rose Avenue was the most famous street on Ford Island and also the center of the entire island. Most of the businesses on Rose Avenue belonged to the Rose Family.
At this time, a man in plain clothes and slovenly appearance walked out of an apartment on Rose Avenue.
The man was wearing a hat that covered half of his face. The other half of his face was covered by a messy beard.
Many people on Rose Avenue knew this man. They shook their heads after seeing him and ignored him.
The most interesting thing was that this man had a long stick wrapped in cloth tied to his back. He carried it with him wherever he went.
Many tourists looked over curiously, but they were all ignored by this man. He walked into the Rose Tavern with light steps.
"This tramp can actually enter the Rose Tavern?
The guards didn't chase him away. "
"It's true. I spent money to get a side relative of the Rose Family to take me in, but they weren't willing …"
"Those who can go in are either rich or respectable. Could this tramp have a special identity?"
"I've heard that many experts act in a strange manner. Could this person be one of them?"
Hearing what the tourists said, one of the shop owners couldn't stand it anymore. "What are you guessing?
This is the famous Pennister. "
"Ah?
That treasure hunter? "
The shop owner smiled bitterly and nodded. "That's all in the past. Now, he's just a cripple. His mental state is also problematic."
"There's such a thing?"
"Yes, a few years ago, he followed our Lord Boyka into the stone array. Lord Boyka retreated safely, but he was nowhere to be found. A few months later, he was washed up on Ford Island by the sea. After an examination, we found that he had lost all his battle qi. Lord Boyka did his best. Not only did he give him a sum of money that he could never spend in his lifetime, he also gave him a hot apartment on Rose Avenue."
After the shop owner finished speaking, the others were shocked. Many of the people who came here were nobles, and they all admired Boyka's generosity.
"He was lucky to have met Lord Boyka."
"Maybe he saved Lord Boyka's life in the death stone array?"
"You're overthinking. He said himself that he was very grateful to Boyka," the shop owner said.
Pennister's ears were getting calluses from listening to this kind of gossip. He slowly found a seat and sat down.
When the waiter saw Pennister come in, he sighed and placed a few bottles of wine on the table.
"Thank you."
Pennister thanked the waiter with a hoarse voice. The waiter nodded and said with pity, "Mr. Pennister, drink less. Your body is getting worse day by day."
A customer at a nearby table sneered, "Why do you care about this cripple?
Boyka is too soft-hearted. How much money did he spend on him? "
"That's right. Let this kind of lunatic fend for himself."
Pennister pretended not to hear and said to the waiter, "Say hello to Boyka for me."
The waiter sighed and walked away.
"This is the lunatic Pennister you're talking about?
Did he really see a dragon? "
"You believe the words of a lunatic?"
"If he's seen a dragon, then I've seen the dragon's father!"
…
After the white-haired woman got off the ship, she asked passersby about Pennister and soon found the Rose Tavern. According to the passersby, this was the place Pennister frequented the most.
She had a strong feeling that she would not be wrong this time.
That day, she saved the first human she met in her life. Luo said that he was the man who had broken through six stone arrays.
Since she could not bring the man back to the dragon's nest, she could only banish him outside the death stone array. As for whether he could survive and where he would end up, she could only leave it to fate.
The white-haired woman, who was the human form of the Azure Dragon, could sense that the man was not dead, but she did not know where he was. Therefore, she spent a lot of effort to find him. She did not know why she had to find the man. Perhaps it was a girl's intuition.
Humans no longer believed in the existence of dragons, but the conflict between the dragons did not ease. The conservative and radical factions were still at odds. Haku felt that the man might be the answer to the problem.
Nan had learned from ancient books that dragons and humans did live in peace and even fought together. She did not know why it had become like this.
When she arrived at the Rose Tavern, Haku was in big trouble. The guards here did not let her in.
Luo said that she should not cause trouble when she sneaked out. Otherwise, it would cause a lot of trouble.
"I'm looking for Mr. Pennister. Can you let me in?"
"Madam, this is a private tavern."
"Is Pennister inside?"
A noble man came to Haku's side and smiled. "Beautiful lady, I can bring you in, but Pennister is just a cripple with a mental problem."
Haku frowned and said coldly, "Who are you?"
"Young master Luo Er!"
The guards bowed when they saw this person.
"I'm Luo Er Rose of the Rose Family. Duke Rose is my uncle."
Haku shook her head. "I don't know you. I'm looking for Pennister."
At this time, Pennister just finished drinking and walked out of the Rose Tavern.
Luo Er frowned when he saw Pennister. He pulled him over and squeezed his shoulder hard.
"He's Pennister. Are you satisfied?"
Haku was stunned. This person's aura … Yes, it was that man!
Seeing Haku's happy expression, Luo Er was even more jealous. He pushed Pennister to the ground and said coldly, "If it weren't for the Rose Family's charity, this man would have died on Ford Island. Beautiful lady, why waste your time on a cripple?"
Luo Er did not notice that Haku's expression was very ugly. She was just suppressing her anger.
Haku walked with heavy steps to Pennister's side and squatted down to help him up.
Pennister rubbed his sore shoulder and said calmly, "Sorry, I don't know you."
Haku smiled brightly and stared at Pannister with his clear blue eyes.
"I'm Christina Haku Blue Star. Now you know me."
Pennister was completely stunned. This white-haired girl gave him a very familiar feeling, but he was sure that he had never seen this person or even heard of this name.
"I …"
"Can you take me to your house?"
"Uh …"
"I don't like these people."
"Okay."
