"Sister Thea!" Mariel's little face turned red looking at Sister Thea walking towards her. She suddenly felt nervous and instantly lowered her head.

The elder elf girl before her, Thea, was the shop manager. At the same time, she was also Mariel's sister and boss. Today was the first time Mariel served customers in the shop, and she was unfamiliar with the services. She became even more nervous now that she saw her elder sister, as she knew that she must have made a mistake just now!

She recalled that she seemed to use the state's common language to talk to Sade without considering whether he was a native of the Kingdom of Herlock.

The nature of work of the Chamber of Commerce required them to contact customers of various races, so the Chamber of Commerce staff needed to know the state's common language.

The Spirit Wind Chamber of Commerce that she was in was the only large Chamber of Commerce in the entire state that was open to all races! Therefore, language communication was a big problem. This was why the Spirit Wind Chamber of Commerce has a higher requirement for its staff - to know the languages of various races and countries!

By mastering the others' language, they would not be deliberately stumbled when doing business in the other party's territory. At the same time, this is also a kind of respect. As the saying goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. This was precisely the reason.

And now that Mariel was in the Kingdom of Herlock, she had to understand the Herlock language. Although in fact, the state's common language was much more practical than the former. After all, this was the common language of the entire state.

However, if one wanted to travel to other territories, it was best to learn other languages! Especially for people in business, understanding the counterparty's language and words were the basis of polite communication. This was why Mariel felt even more ashamed under Thea's reminder.

She lowered her head and apologized to Sade, "I was rude just now. I never considered your feelings." She conversed in the Herlock language. Although her speech was not very fluent, Sade more or less understood from her behavior why she apologized.

"It's okay." Sade smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he did not care.

He could see that she was a very hardworking person. There was no reason to make things difficult for her over such a small matter. Mariel smiled, seeing that Sade did not make things difficult for her.

Finally, under the signal of the elder elven girl named 'Thea' at the side, Mariel went to serve other guests accordingly.

Looking at the elder elven girl, Sade guessed that she might be the manager of this shop. However, she came over to send Mariel away and kept staring at him, making Sade feel a little puzzled, 'Could it be that she knows me?'

While he was guessing, she suddenly spoke and gave Sade a very special salute, making Sade feel surprised because he had seen this salute before, "Hello, my name is Thea. I am the manager of the Herlock branch of the Spirit Wind Chamber of Commerce. You must be Lord Sade."

"Oh, you know me." Sade pointed at himself in surprise and asked in puzzlement.

He didn't expect that his information would be exposed so quickly. He had grown up in the King's Great Basin since he was young, so he didn't usually have any contact with outsiders. The people he interacted with the most were Prescott, Philomena, and Nia, who took care of his daily life.

However, they wouldn't reveal his information. At least Prescott, the Mother of Dragon, wouldn't let such a thing happen due to her fear of humans. Although Philomena left the King's Great Basin and returned to the Kingdom of Herlock, Sade knew that she was a person of principle and wouldn't expose him.

In other words, his information was leaked after he left the King's Great Basin. After he left the King's Great Basin, he met three groups of people. Wenda, the Village Chief of the Elven Village, Wenke Dean, the second prince of the Kingdom of Romete, and Kelly, the little girl in distress in the forest.

However, the only one who knew his identity was Wenda, the chief of the Elven Village. Sade instantly guessed his background, thinking he was also an elf, and nodded, "Did Village Chief Wenda tell you about it?"

Thea nodded with a smile facing Sade's question, "My full name is Thea Abel, Village Chief, Wenda Abel's daughter. My father gave me your information via used communication magic. I felt the energy fluctuation from the ancient elven tree as you entered the door, which made me even more certain that it was you."

'Could the energy fluctuation from the ancient elven tree be due to the leaf?' After confirming his guess, he was again attracted by her words, "Communication magic? Is there such convenient magic in this world? I remember that there is quite a distance from the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Can this be done with magic?"

"Communication magic is developed independently by the Spirit Wind Chamber of Commerce staff. You won't know about it normally."

"Self-developed, that's so amazing!" It was the first time he had seen this kind of magic. He could also communicate telepathically now, but the distance covered was pitifully small, while the spiritual power consumed was relatively high.

Thea's face revealed a happy smile in the face of Sade's praise. After all, the person before her was a Lord. She was delighted in her heart to receive his praise. Sade was also shocked as he did not expect her to be so enthusiastic.

The two of them chatted happily for a moment. Sade also obtained a lot of useful information from the conversation with Thea.

Firstly, the Magic Empire was not the only one on the Karen Continent. On the opposite, an empire made up of subhumans existed on the other side of the Magic Beast Mountain Range, called the Orc Empire!

Secondly, there were four great seas and three terrifying forbidden areas around the Karen continent, namely the East Sea, South Sea, North Sea, and the Storm Sea, that were covered by thunderstorms all year round. The Storm Sea was the most terrifying among them, also one of the three forbidden areas.

It was rumored that in the depths of the Storm Sea, countless ancient treasures had been left behind since ancient times. One would be rich enough to rival a country directly even if one could only obtain one of them. The lucky ones could even be invincible due to secrecy.

It was also because of this legend that attracted countless people to rush to the Storm Sea to obtain ancient treasures. There were the most numbers of human adventurers, but they never returned in the end. However, countless people would still rush to the Storm Sea for the numerous ancient treasures hidden underneath after so many years!

Sade was also very interested in this. However, he would not go to the Storm Sea at the moment because it was too dangerous there. He had heard about the Storm Sea from Prescott, who didn't seem to like it there.

The other two forbidden areas were the Dark Continent and Dragon Island, other than the Storm Sea. Sade understood that Dragon Island was where the dragons lived. As for the Dark Continent, the specific information wasn't clear. Thea didn't know much about it either. She only heard that there seemed to be a curse, and no one had ever returned from there. It was perilous there.

Besides that, Sade also obtained information about the Origin Magic Book from Thea.

"Could the Origin Magic Book you mentioned be the Origin Magic Book that is said to record all magic in the Imperial College of Magic?"

"Yes!"

"What is that magic book for?" Thea's face revealed a hint of surprise hearing Sade's reply, then she frowned slightly and said, "I think you should give up."

"Why?" Sade was surprised as he did not expect Thea to advise him to give up this idea directly.

"The Origin Magic Book is guarded very tightly by the mages of the Magic Empire. You cannot approach it if you are not one of them, let alone read it!"

"Is it that strict? Not even allowed to get close?"

"Not allowed! Let me put it this way. The Origin Magic Book was placed at the highest level of the library known as Deathbed in the Imperial College of Magic. If one did not have the corresponding qualifications, just wandering around the library alone would turn you into ashes by the various top-level magic in the library, not to mention entering it." Thea solemnly explained to Sade, trying to dispel his thoughts.

However, Sade was even more intrigued to read the Origin Magic Book instead, "Is there no other way?"

"Of course there is, but I would still advise you not to go."

"Why?" Sade was a little surprised and felt that Thea was whetting his appetite.

She had advised him not to go, yet she told him that there was another way now.

Sade saw a mischievous smile on her face. As expected, his guess was correct, and she was teasing him. There must be a way! "Stop fooling around, Miss Thea."

"I'm sorry. This is the first time I've seen a Dragon Slayer who Dragon Blood did not curse, so I'm inquisitive. I can see that the Lord's love for you is profound!" Thea directly voiced out her thoughts, seeing that her expression was exposed.

She had been observing Sade since he entered. After all, based on the information given by her father, Sade had a direct relationship with the one who appeared 130 years ago! How could this not surprise Thea? Sade was a human teenager no matter how she looked at it! Could a human become the child of a giant dragon?

This was too magical. No biography of a bad bard dares to write like that. After all, that was a giant dragon. Giant dragons were the embodiment of power and were synonymous with the strongest combat strength in the current world.

Regardless of how many people clamored to kill giant dragons to seize the dragon blood to gain power and become Dragon Slayers, the killed ones were usually young dragons that had yet to mature.

The people should try when the dragons grow into adult dragons. As the saying goes: if you try, you die. 80% of these people would not even reach the front of the dragon when they were directly turned into ashes by the dragon's breath.

It was precisely why Thea was highly shocked after recognizing Sade! She felt a sense of coercion from Sade, although this feeling was relatively recessive. After all, Sade did not show any hostility to her.

However, her perception was pretty strong as an elf, especially since her strength was not low. At this level, she was even more aware of that feeling and could determine it, though it was subtle. This was the coercion coming from a superior dragon, a high-grade dragon species!

It was incredible! This young man named Sade was a Dragon Slayer! Most importantly, there was no curse of the Dragon's Den on him! Considering his relationship with that giant dragon, the giant dragon was the one who willingly gave up his dragon blood! Moreover, it was a superior dragon, a high-grade dragon!

This was shocking! Thea's heart seemed to be roaring at this moment. Considering that Sade could make a terrifying giant dragon unconditionally bleed for him to increase his strength, his position must be very high in the giant dragon's heart!

Thea's attitude towards Sade became more respectful. When Sade noticed that respectful gaze towards him, coupled with her suddenly changed attitude, Sade saw through her thoughts, "Don't be like this. I still prefer to be friends with the real you like just now. My name is Sade, and I'm just a human adventurer traveling outside." Sade waved his right hand. He didn't want to be flattered like this, as he would be too tired to live like this.

Thea quickly returned to her mischievous look as Sade spoke, making his smile instantly awkward as he thought, 'You're an elf. Even if you look young, you're still several times older than me.'

Thea looked cute for behaving so mischievously despite her mature appearance. As Sade was not even six years old, it was still too early for him.
