848: Chapter 52: Subspace Demon’s Poison (7800)_4 848: Chapter 52: Subspace Demon’s Poison (7800)_4 Anfa glanced at Ian, then shook his head and sat down with a smile: “You’ve seen through quite a lot…”

Ian certainly had.

Based on the conversation between the Purple Maple Knight and Anfa, Anfa’s family held significant power in Canaan Moore, even considerable authority, and he too occupied a noteworthy position within his clan.

With Anfa’s age and status, only at the First Energy Level—how was that possible?

Moreover, coming to South Ridge to meet a pen pal by himself, even if it was to discuss cooperation, it was too unlikely for his companions captured by the Torch Guard to return with just such an entourage.

Not to mention, his Dragonization Organ was very weak, certainly not a match for Elder Mantle…

All this information led Ian to conclude: Anfa’s current body was probably an ‘altered body’ as well.

And the reason he had such a good relationship with Sio, continuing for such a long time as pen pals, was probably a bit of ‘misery loves company’.

They must have encountered similar problems—not Void Poison, then some unique malformation of the True Dragon Bloodline.

“Do you want to try it too?”

Ian pointed to the Dragon God Sacrificial Fire as if he were selling it: “Absolutely effective.”

“I’ll have to wait for my next visit.” Anfa shook his head slightly with a smile: “Speaking of which, compared to my next trip to South Ridge, your next visit to Canaan Moore might come sooner.”

“Eh?”

Hearing this, Ian was a bit puzzled, but he quickly realized what Anfa was referring to—the Qing Steel Dragon and Labyrinth beneath Canaan Moore.

The young man suddenly said, “You’ve found it?”

“Not yet, but we’re close.

Right next to Half Moon Lake.

It’s been overlooked because it’s too close to the city.

Like the darkness under the lamplight.”

Anfa gave a wry smile: “We’ve wasted quite a bit of effort, but at least we’ve narrowed down the area.

Once we find the entrance, it will be a joint exploration by both countries.

I believe you, Ian, will be selected to join.

It’s a great honor you can’t miss.”

“If all else fails, you can also enter with a quota from the Dragon Worship Cult.

Elder Mantle and I will use our own privileges to secure you a spot.”

Saying this, he took out his notebook and wrote a long string of numbers behind Ian’s name.

A significant amount of goodwill was added.

“Then I really must say thank you.”

Ian’s expression changed subtly.

He truly appreciated Anfa’s consideration, but in reality, what flickered in the youth’s mind was the precursor to the ‘Spirit Disaster Path’—the ‘Dark Gold Dragon’ that had triggered his epiphany for the Spirit Disaster.

All related to the True Dragon, all at Half Moon Lake, all underground…

Could it be that this newly born Qing Steel Dragon, the heir to the Bison Dragon God…

was related to that dark gold-colored True Dragon?

If that were the case, then he really needed to go there to see what was going on.

But before that…

[Whether you like it or not, you’re going to enter today.]

Looking up, Ian heard the commanding voice of the King of the Mountain’s true form, and the silver-haired beauty stood by the side, controlled by the same soul, seriously saying to Sio: [Ian, Anfa, Elder Mantle, and I have all spent a lot of effort to cure you…

Are you afraid?

Who isn’t worried?

How can you disappoint their painstaking efforts just because of fear?]

[I’m not unwilling, Mother,] Sio explained softly: [I just…

want to wait until I’m also at my best, so I can solve all the problems in one go.]

[When do such good things happen?

Don’t always think about solving everything once and for all.

Even if you get rid of the poison in your body, so what?]

The King of the Mountain was somewhat exasperated: [The restoration after you return to normal, the process from weakness to recovery, that is the most important…

Don’t think about becoming a big shot in one step; you have to walk steadily step by step to have the real power of a True Dragon, to make the path under your feet solid, to become a True Dragon capable of protecting yourself in this chaotic world!]

[Mother…] Sio looked a little lost: [I just don’t want to burden you…]

[Such thoughts are the real burden,] sighed the King of the Mountain, shaking her head: [Sio, stop being spoilt, Mum can’t take care of you forever.

You have to be strong, dare to try, face the future!]

[Mm…] Sio’s soft voice responded: [I will, Mother…]

Rather than fearing entering the Dragon God Sacrificial Fire, it was more about fearing his mother’s authority at the moment.

—In this world, ninety-nine percent of problems are from childhood upbringing.

Watching this scene, Ian racked his brains and couldn’t understand why the King of the Mountain, who was so reasonable and approachable with himself, Anfa, and Elder Mantle, became so stern and formidable in front of Sio…

But after thinking about it, such parents were not uncommon.

It wasn’t that the King of the Mountain’s words were wrong; every word she said was correct, the right logic, and Ian could even sense the King of the Mountain’s unease about the current situation in the Terra World.

Clearly, she wasn’t sure she could protect Sio in the future of Terra, so she hoped that after Sio’s recovery, he could quickly grow up to take care of himself.

To be independent when she isn’t around…

This is the greatest desire of parents for their children.

However, this urgent desire, when expressed, seemed somewhat pushy.

—Ah, the relationship problems between children and parents are truly one of the world’s great challenges.

Thinking thus, Ian wondered if he should take out the series of books from his memory on ‘how to be a good mother’ and ‘how to be a good father’ and give them to the King of the Mountain?
