Chapter 101 Chapter 19 New Tour Guide (4/70)
However, Verafia quickly lifted her little face again, waved her delicate and fair little hands, and as the light passed through, a few crimson crystals reflected on the girl’s skin quietly mirrored in her pupils.
Verafia nodded her little head with satisfaction, her big eyes shining with joy in her porcelain white snowy cheeks. The girl’s voice, like a jade spring, was as crisp as a bell.
“Hmph, it’s just barely acceptable. Well, seeing as you’re thinking wholeheartedly of this young lady… I’ll reluctantly forgive your taking matters into your own hands!”
Although the girl’s words seemed to show disdain, her tone did not conceal her proud nature at all. Iggy felt like reaching out to stroke her smooth, soft fur.
However, Iggy could see that the girl really liked the bracelet, and he felt a trace of curiosity, so he couldn’t help but ask.
“Young Lady, is there anything special about this bracelet?”
Verafia turned her little face, shook the hand with the bracelet on it, and in Iggy’s eyes, the girl’s dazzling eyes, as brilliant as the golden flames of a rose, sparkled.
The girl’s clear voice sounded quite energetic: “Of course, there’s something special… Well, this is this young lady’s bracelet.”
Iggy found her unreasonable explanation somewhat amusing. But then he realized it was indeed the case: a bracelet worn by a legendary phoenix, if passed down to later generations, wouldn’t it be a priceless treasure?
Speaking of which, if he didn’t get along well with this little phoenix, wouldn’t it be easy to trick her out of a few treasures that could be passed down as heirlooms?
Iggy pondered.
Seeing that what she wanted was accepted, Verafia, the young lady, nodded her little head with satisfaction. The girl ignored the attendant who suddenly spaced out beside her, tugged at her skirt corner with her slender hand, and then looked up with her big eyes at the bard who had already walked close to her.
“Hey, Dylan, from what you said… do you know that old woman named Laice? And this Verodia… is she your friend?”
Verafia looked at the brown-haired girl behind the bard. As she had thought before, this girl named Verodia had a faint, familiar aura about her.
The bard spoke, “As you can see, Miss Verodia was my employer, but I had to leave her side because I was traveling. Well… as for now, Miss Verodia doesn’t mind providing me with food and shelter, so that my music can be played again.”
Isn’t this just leeching off this woman, why put it so elegantly? Iggy couldn’t help but grumble.
“Mr. Dylan, you jest. Your Qin music is not something a few silver coins of mine can buy.”
Verodia also walked out from behind the bard, placed her hands on her skirt corner, and slightly bowed to the girl looking up at her from in front of her. She spoke out.
“As for Laice… Miss Verafia, please forgive me, she has always been like this, with a worse and more terrible personality than the most foolish dandy… But you don’t need to mind her, she will at most focus her hatred on me.”
“That woman, this young lady isn’t afraid of her!”
Verafia placed her little hands on her slender waist, putting on a fierce appearance. However, she soon noticed that the girl in front of her had called out her name directly, and then a hint of confusion appeared on her raised, delicate, little face.
“But, Verodia, how do you know me… Did Dylan tell you?”
“I know that Mr. Dylan was saved by you from the Bloodwind Blade… Looking at it this way, Laice’s threat to you is indeed nothing. Miss Verafia, I was overthinking it.”
Verafia noticed that the girl’s sapphire-like clear eyes lit up slightly, but she quickly suppressed it. Verodia raised her cheeks, put on a smile, and made a slight sound.
“Mr. Dylan told me that Miss Verafia is visiting Rubiel City for the first time, right? How about I show you around?”
“This…”
Verafia hesitated slightly, turned her face, and looked at Iggy beside her.
Iggy’s heart trembled, thinking, wouldn’t this young lady realize that he was just a half-baked tour guide?
Of course, as the young lady of the phoenix, Verafia would not seek the opinion of her own attendant. She just tilted her little face slightly, and a hint of shyness appeared on her porcelain white, delicate little face. She nodded in agreement.
“Is that okay? Will it disturb you, Verodia…”
Verodia smiled faintly.
“It’s not a bother. Actually, I also want to spend more time with a beautiful girl like Miss Verafia.”
Seeing that Verafia was a little tempted, Iggy hurriedly stepped forward and pulled her.
Verafia turned her little face away with some displeasure.
“What’s wrong?”
Iggy leaned close to the girl’s delicate and fair ear. He hesitated for a moment, but still fearing that this little phoenix would suffer a loss, he lowered his voice and warned her.
“Young Lady, I have a feeling that Miss Verodia is approaching you because she has something to ask of you.”
“What is this? Is there anything this young lady can’t handle?”
Verafia lifted her porcelain white, jade-like little face, hugged herself with her little hands, and her eyes darted a glance at Iggy, showing her contempt for the young man’s words.
Iggy spread his hands helplessly and gave a wry smile. As an attendant, he could only remind her, and everything else depended on this little phoenix’s mood, right?
However, Iggy did not notice the fleeting clear radiance in Verafia’s eyes. Verafia certainly saw that the girl in front of her had something to ask of her.
“The bet that Laice mentioned before… and her noble status.”
Verafia did not rush to ask directly. The girl turned her gaze, raised it slightly to look at Verodia not far away.
—
The beautiful golden-haired girl raised her flawless little face, her big eyes looking at Verodia walking beside her. Her pure white little boots landed between the slender shadows cast by the golden sun, making a light and lively sound on the stone ground, just like the girl herself.
Verodia beside her leaned slightly to the side, gently explaining to the girl who had been showing curiosity all along, while the bard Dylan played the harp a little.
As for a certain young man, Iggy, he continued to carry the shopping bags for his young lady.
“Miss Verafia, to be honest, although Rubiel City is a human city, other creatures also live here.”
Verodia’s clear azure blue eyes glanced at the girl’s porcelain white, delicate and childish face, and she chuckled.
“Elves, pure-blooded or mixed-blooded, left outside the Emerald Forest, dwarves from the city-states below, goblin merchants, orc gladiators fighting for survival or freedom… Well, according to recent legends, you might even meet vampires.”
