Young dragons of the Dragon race cannot be born with congenital deficiencies. Young dragons hatch from dragon eggs, and strong young dragons hatch faster.
Weaker young dragons will hatch even longer. During this time, they are nourished by their parents' magic, gradually becoming stronger, and then breaking out of their shells.
If a young dragon is truly born with congenital deficiencies, so weak that it cannot become strong even with its parents' magic, it will have no chance of hatching. It will become a dead egg.
Young dragons that can hatch will never be congenitally weak. The Dragon race has a strong physique, and even young dragons are stronger than other races.
Therefore, Lin Yan was very curious about the child he mentioned, who was congenitally weak.
"I haven't seen that child, so I can't tell you if I can cure it."
"So, you can cure children with congenital weaknesses?" Morris immediately reacted.
Angelina did not say she couldn't cure it, but rather that she couldn't confirm. This meant she was capable of curing it.
"It depends on the situation. I can't confirm without seeing the child's condition. What's wrong, is that child yours..."
"He is my descendant. After I take you to the chaotic lands, I will send that child to you for examination. I hope you can save him." As Morris said this, he turned to look at Lin Yan in the carriage.
Although he couldn't see Lin Yan's face, he desperately wanted to hear good news from her.
"I will do my best," Lin Yan replied.
No matter who the child was, for Morris to ask, their relationship must have been very close.
Even if divine magic didn't work, she had other methods. When he sent the child over, and she was taking care of him, he would have to protect their safety.
With him around, she could establish a foothold in the chaotic lands.
The adventurers had finished dealing with the magical beast. Its magic crystal and other valuable parts were packed into spatial bags.
It was delivered by a lower-level adventurer. Morris only took the magic crystal, and the rest was distributed among the adventurers.
As a dragon, he was not short of gold coins. As for why he was acting as an adventurer in this small town, that was for other reasons.
The knights watched them distribute the spoils. Although they knew the high-level magical beast was very valuable and they were envious, they only glanced over there before continuing with their work.
"Let's go."
As Will's voice fell, the sound of the carriage wheels started again.
The deeper they went, the less light there was in the forest. Coupled with the approaching winter, the days grew shorter, so the team started their journey later and later each morning.
"Madam, in two days we will be near the Elven territory," Will said, looking at a map with some worry.
"Then you will protect yourselves, and I will go and negotiate with the Elven tribe."
"But the elves haven't interacted with humans for a long time. Won't it be dangerous for you to approach them for negotiations so rashly?" Will was still worried.
Although he knew that the adventurer Lin Yan had found was very capable, the Elven tribe was not to be trifled with.
"Knight Will, relax. We are just passing by. Don't worry, even if the elves are unwilling to let us pass, we can take a detour. We will always reach our destination safely."
"I hope this journey is as smooth as you say, Madam!" Seeing that Knight Will was so open-minded, Lin Yan was slightly relieved.
He was truly afraid of dealing with the Elven tribe, as in all the legends he had heard, the elves had rather bad tempers.
"What! You couldn't find them!" A white porcelain cup was thrown to the ground, shattering into pieces.
"Yes, Your Excellency. They didn't take the main road leading to the chaotic lands at all."
"Then where did they go? Could they have run away?" As soon as he finished speaking, he knew it was impossible. Angelina had always been loyal to the Holy See and would never do such a thing.
Even though the Holy See had exiled her, given her personality, she would have slowly established her faith in the chaotic lands and waited for the Holy See to recall her.
She was not someone who would run away.
"When was the last time you heard from her? Where was she?"
"She was in a church in the Red Pine Territory. She stayed there for two days, and then left with her servants and knights."
"Then why didn't you follow her at that time?"
"I... we..." They wouldn't dare. The former Saintess was not someone to be underestimated.
"Never mind 'we.' Find her whereabouts as soon as possible."
"Yes." The man bowed and left.
However, as he watched the man leave, the Holy Son threw all the other white porcelain tableware within his reach.
She had always been a major thorn in his side. As long as she was alive, he would never have a chance to rise!
On the other side, in a castle near the imperial capital.
"Cough, cough, cough." A middle-aged beautiful woman tried hard to suppress her cough.
"Egbert, your sister, has your sister sent any letters back?"
A young gentleman stood beside her, pouring her a glass of water.
"Mother, have some water. We can talk after you drink."
After the beautiful woman drank the water, she heard the young and handsome gentleman say,
"There are no letters. The order to exile your sister was issued too suddenly. She is probably still on her way.
Don't worry, I've already sent my head knight with some knights to help her. Angelina will be fine."
Egbert gently comforted his mother.
In his heart, he was also very worried about his sister. His sister had never suffered hardship since she was young, and her status in the Holy See was very high. This exile meant she had fallen from grace.
He was truly worried that his sister would not be able to accept all of this, and that the place she was exiled to was such a lawless place. The thought of it made him even more worried about his sister.
She desperately wanted to go find her sister and tell her that she would be her support. It was a pity that her mother was in poor health, and he had also been ill recently.
This caused him not only to miss the best opportunity to plead for Angelina but also weakened his body further.
Now, he could not withstand a long journey. If not for this, he would have personally gone to meet his sister.
"If it's your head knight, he is trustworthy. We just hope they can find out your sister's news soon."
"Mother, rest assured, your sister will be fine. God always blesses his children. Your sister has always been blessed by God, so she will definitely be fine.
You must maintain a happy mood and not let me and your sister worry." Winter was approaching, and with Mother's current condition, this winter would likely be very difficult.
Angelina was exiled too quickly, giving them no time to react.
Egbert found it strange, as there had never been such a precedent.
Anyone with eyes could see that something was wrong, but not many people were on their side.
If they could have received some news in advance, let alone prepare generous gifts and change the outcome, they could have at least sent more people to protect her.
Now, the knights around her were all of low rank, and the place she was going to was a mixed bag. They were truly worried.
"Your father..."
"Mother, don't mention him. If he truly cared about my sister, he would have petitioned His Majesty long ago." He harbored great resentment towards his so-called father, especially after Angelina's incident.
If Father had spoken to the Emperor in a timely manner, at least her place of exile could have been changed.
Anywhere else would have been safer than the chaotic lands.
But since her sister's incident, he had not returned home and had not pleaded with the Emperor.
Although the order to exile Lin Yan was given by the Pope, it was still necessary to show respect to the Emperor of the empire. The original owner was not only a Saintess of the Church of Light but also a noble of the empire.
It was also his own fault. If he hadn't been too young, if he hadn't fallen ill, he could have helped his sister more.
Seeing the guilt on her son's face, the woman knew he was very remorseful about this matter.
"My child, it's not your fault. You didn't want to be sick." She gently comforted her son, "Your sister probably won't blame you either."
"I will send someone to contact my sister as soon as possible."
"Also, have someone inform your maternal grandfather's side. That area is closer to your uncle's territory. You can ask him to take better care of your sister."
After Angelina became a Saintess, they enjoyed the glory and convenience she brought. Now, it was time for them to contribute something to help her.
As the team continued forward, Lin Yan noticed that the light in the forest brightened. This light was not a harsh glare, but a fresh and pleasant brightness.
Compared to the oppressive feeling of the chaotic forest, this place felt very comfortable, a sense of closeness to nature.
The wood element here was also more concentrated, making every breath feel very comfortable.
However, this comfort made everyone vigilant. The Elven Forest was about to be reached, and they were about to meet the legendary elves.
Although these adventurers had lived on the outskirts of the chaotic forest, they never dared to approach the Elven Forest when they were on missions.
Once, someone got lost and approached the Elven Forest, but before they could get close, they were driven back by elven archers.
Now, Lin Yan was not only going to approach but also needed to pass through the Elven Forest. They didn't think the elves would be so generous as to let them pass.
Lin Yan was also observing the boundary between the Elven Forest and the chaotic forest through the window.
This was her first encounter with these other races. Although she knew the Elven tribe did not welcome outsiders, she had her own confidence. She believed the elves would agree to her request.
"Whoosh!" An arrow flew directly onto the road ahead of their team.
"Who's there? Stop at once. This is the Elven Forest, and no outsiders are welcome."
A beautiful elf with a long elven bow on his back stood on a tree, the bowstring in his hand still trembling slightly.
There were other elves hidden elsewhere. If these people dared to advance further, the next arrow would pierce the intruder's body.
The team stopped there. The adventurers dared not move forward, and they looked back towards the carriage.
Morris also concealed his aura, unwilling to let the elves sense it.
Dragons and elves had always kept to themselves. He didn't want these elves to think that their dragon race was colluding with humans.
Everyone looked towards the carriage, wanting to see how Lin Yan would handle this. After all, she was the one who said she would negotiate with the Elven tribe.
Lin Yan stepped down from the carriage, revealing her golden hair and blue eyes.
"I want to see the Elven King!"
"Who do you think you are, outsider? You are too arrogant. Leave quickly, or you will never be able to leave!" The elf with the long bow drew his bowstring again, aiming the arrow at Lin Yan.
"I am Angelina Liandel, the former Saintess of Light. I have a very important matter to discuss with the Elven King." Lin Yan took a few steps forward, directly to the front of the team.
The arrow's tip followed Lin Yan's movement.
"Even if you are the Saintess of Light, so what? The King will not see you. Moreover, you are now a former Saintess. Leave quickly. If you leave now, we will not hold it against you."
The elf did not want to speak to humans at all, only wanting to drive them away as soon as possible.
"You can send someone to ask the Elven King. I believe he will be willing to see me," Lin Yan said confidently. "Just tell him that I know his concerns and can resolve them."
"Human, you don't need to use such sweet talk. I don't think you can understand our elven affairs. Similarly, we don't want you dirty humans to stain our territory.
Leave, human. Otherwise, don't blame our arrows for being blind."
The elf was impervious to reason, and his exquisitely beautiful face showed no emotion.
He would never allow these humans to enter the Elven Forest. Humans were incredibly greedy, and if they truly entered the Elven Forest, who knew what kind of trouble they would bring to their kingdom.
Lin Yan took out a glass bottle engraved with a magic array.
"You haven't asked your Majesty yet, so how do you know he won't see me? You can have someone take this bottle to him and show it to him. We will wait here.
If, after he sees it, he is still unwilling to see me, we will leave immediately."
"No need!" He drew his long bow, as if about to shoot the arrow in his hand the next moment.
"Aglel." Another elf appeared, stopping the elf who was about to shoot.
"Madam, are you so confident that our King will see you?"
"As I said, I can resolve his heart's difficulties," Lin Yan said with a smile. "I will wait for your return. If His Majesty the Elven King still refuses to see me after seeing this bottle, I will immediately take my people and leave."
