nHera sneered. “From the beginning, Kaki didn’t come for us. She came for Kate, right?”
nKate sighed and solemnly bowed to Audrey to express his apology. “Audrey, I’m sorry. I really didn’t expect Kaki to…”
n“Alright, the important thing now isn’t Kaki. What should our dragon slaying squad do?”
nThis was Audrey’s most sorrowful question.
nThe Mercenary Association had a clear rule that five people were needed to form a mercenary group.
nEven if Kaki still wanted to join the dragon slaying squad, Kate would disagree.
nWhere could they find the remaining person?
nHera did not mind. “No matter what, our mercenary group will have to register for at least a month before we can take action. It’s better to take advantage of the lack of manpower to make preparations now.”
nJill immediately nodded in agreement. “That’s right. Our actions are too rushed. Whether it’s the frequent mercenary activities in the next month or the fact that we’re going to the Frigid Lands, materials are a necessity.”
n“Even Audrey joined us only yesterday. So no matter how well you prepare, Audrey definitely doesn’t have any equipment.”
nOnly then did Kate realized that he had made a mistake again.
n“But Audrey, haven’t you always wanted to go to the Frigid Lands?”
nAudrey sighed. “I wanted to go to the Frigid Lands because I sensed my mother’s aura. But I can’t just think for myself. Kate is right. We’re a team.”
n“Audrey has helped me so much. I will definitely help you find information about your mother.” Kate had stayed by Audrey’s side for so many years, so he had more or less understood the situation in Audrey’s family.
nHowever, he did not expect that after Audrey’s mother had disappeared for so many years, there would suddenly be information coming from the Frigid Lands.
n“Yes, yes, Audrey. Don’t be anxious. You have to be prepared.”
n“With our combined strength, we’ll definitely be able to escape death from the mouth of the evil dragon…”
nOther than Kate, this was the first time everyone present had seen Audrey smile so beautifully.
nHera was about to be struck by Audrey’s beauty. Instead, she waved her hand and said, “Don’t worry, Audrey. Even if I have to go up a mountain of knives or into a sea of fire, I will find your mother for you!”
nAudrey laughed out loud. This was the first time she had felt a sense of belonging in the Jones Empire.
nIn her previous life, no one would have said such warm words to her.
nAudrey had been tested for her excellent talent in magic when she was born. Her family had crazily trained Audrey, forcing her to break through from a desperate situation time and time again.
nThey all saw Audrey as a high and mighty God on the throne. They prayed that Audrey would guide them in their practice to take their magic to the next level.
nAudrey sat alone in her seat.
nNo one was willing to tell Audrey what was on their minds, and no one was willing to listen to Audrey’s heart.
nShe had originally thought that having the companionship of magic meant that she was not alone until the moment when she failed to level up.
nWhat she felt was not an unwillingness to fail but a sense of relief that had finally ended.
nWhen she opened her eyes again, although she was determined, she was also baffled.
nShe was like a walking corpse wandering around Spark City. Even if Calder really treated her as his own daughter, Audrey still felt nothing.
nThis was the first time.
nPerhaps it was Kate’s repentance that had finally awoken her spirit.
nPerhaps it was Hera’s passionate trust.
nMaybe it was Jill’s timid but determined eyes.
nThat fiery, beating, wonderful feeling had been slowly spreading in Audrey’s chest, her heart beating bit by bit rhythmically.
nAudrey suddenly understood the meaning of her coming to this world.
nMaybe the heavens could not bear it anymore, so they let Audrey come to this world to feel the warmth of her companions.
nShe looked at the three of them, seriously discussing how to bring Audrey’s mother back, and revealed the most beautiful smile.
nThe other three did not know what kind of celestial battle Audrey had accepted. They thought that Audrey was anxiously waiting for her mother’s message.
nAfter the four of them discussed it, they decided to meet in the restaurant a week later.
nRegardless of whether new teammates were joining them or not, they would think of a way to probe the Mercenary Association.
nKate clenched his fists solemnly.
nHe did not help Audrey during the competition between the five families.
nHowever, in the mercenary group that followed, Kate promised to protect Audrey with his life.
nThis was his increasingly determined passion.
nA week passed very quickly. During this period of time, Audrey produced the level 20 potion Hera needed. At the same time, she also refined a large number of other functional potions.
nThese potions could greatly alleviate the discomfort caused by the environment in the Frigid Lands while slaying the dragon. The red ones were potions that temporarily increased explosive power, and the blue ones were potions that alleviated the body’s cold. The purple ones were potions that could cure sexual functions.
nLooking at the already bare herb garden, Calder felt both proud and a little sad.
