Taking advantage of the moment to catch their breath, Mrs. White and Pluto talked a lot.

In that story, there was a brave man named Ifa, whose ending was not actually that happy.

The stone slab beside the Frost Pattern Giant Sword was engraved with the Dragon Language. Its previous owner was the White Dragon Crasu...

How ironic! The dragon slayer becomes a dragon again... generation after generation, the cycle continues...

Moments after killing Crassus, Efa's body was covered with dragon scales and he turned into a new white dragon.

He wanted to return home to see the princess who was deeply concerned about him, but he was mistakenly thought to be Crassus who killed his beloved and was expelled.

The princess was completely desperate and chose to commit suicide by jumping off the castle. However, Ifa would never know the news and would watch alone on the top of the snowy mountain until the dragon clan completely disappeared from the road.

"Not a good ending, is it?"

Mrs. Bai finished speaking and smiled helplessly.

"But no matter what the outcome is, what the brave Ifa did is indelible."

"When telling the story to children, I deliberately concealed the true ending of the story. I think this is to protect the children."

"I don't want children to only think of the dark side of the stories when they talk about them, nor do I want them to think of escaping when they encounter difficulties."

“Maybe not everyone has the ability to change something like Yifa, but the courage to face life is a treasure that everyone can have…”

She didn't care whether young Pluto could understand her or not. Maybe Mrs. White was talking to herself.

But to a young man who had lived in the mountains since childhood and was constrained by family values, these words were so fresh and touching.

"Well, it's getting late, let's go back to the village, kid, your family is still waiting for you..."

Mrs. White held on to the tree, slowly stood up, and staggered away, leaving the young Pluto alone there, thinking for a long time.

......

In the following years, Mrs. Bai would appear in the village from time to time, treating the villagers, especially the children. She also taught the children to read, draw, sing, do handicrafts... and often told them stories.

Strangely enough, Mrs. White’s stories seemed endless, and the stories she told were both new and good, and they were all heroic stories that were not very popular.

For example, the story of the first generation of heroes was the most told large-scale serial heroic epic in those years and was very popular among children.

Taking Mrs. White as his role model, Pluto also began to work hard, doing everything he could to become a qualified village leader.

On the day of Pluto's coming-of-age ceremony with several of his peers, a banquet was held in the village and Mrs. White was invited.

But when Pluto, who was responsible for the invitation, arrived at the clearing in the woods, he found that it was empty.

......Mrs. Bai moved away quietly without telling anyone in the village, nor did she leave any letters.

Pluto couldn't understand why Mrs. White wanted to move away when she was living well here.

That day, the lively banquet seemed dull.

The old village chief said that Mrs. Bai was with her young daughter, and it was too dangerous for the widow and orphan to be outside. It was reasonable for the village to send someone to look for them, or at least to make sure they were safe.

So, Pluto and several young men volunteered to take on this responsibility and set out on the journey.

They first found the nomadic market that often stationed north of Duskwood and asked them about the whereabouts of the White Lady.

With such striking facial features as Mrs. Bai, it would be easy to find clues by asking around.

The man's tone was very unfriendly, and he could hardly hide his disgust when he spoke of Madam Bai.

"That bitch, I haven't seen her for a long time. I heard that she couldn't stay here any longer, so she took her little bastard and headed north... Tsk, she's really courting death. If she's caught by the White Disaster..."

Before he could finish, one of Pluto's companions punched him and knocked him to the ground.

I really don’t know what’s wrong with these guys outside. Why do they harbor such strong malice towards someone as gentle and kind as Mrs. Bai?

Several people left the settlement as quickly as possible and continued to search northward.

However, even after finding their way to the Minerva Colosseum, they still couldn't find any news about Mrs. White.

Come to think of it, what that guy said is right. The area near the Colosseum is full of persecutors, and Mrs. Bai will definitely not come here.

But where else could she go?

The capital of the northern part of the alliance is Minerva Arena and Songa Mountain...

Several people rushed to Songjia Mountain without stopping, but it happened that Songjia Mountain was in a state of combat readiness.

The Centaurs from the North are attacking.

As a result, the few of them couldn't even go into the city and had to return to the village.

Although they tried their best, they were in a very bad mood.

It was not only because he could not get any news about the White Lady, but also because he witnessed along the way the undisguised malice of other members of the Alliance towards the albino orcs.

One hundred and fifty years ago, who was it that stubbornly guarded the Canaan Miya Pass to prevent humans from crossing? And who was it that protected Mount Songa from falling?

It's really heartless...

The village chief said that since Mrs. Bai was unwilling to tell the villagers, she must have her own ideas and it would be difficult to force her.

He simply told the whole village to be grateful to Madam White, just as they did to Lord Helka.

......

"Perhaps this is fate... The daughter of Mrs. Bai, whom my father was still talking about before he died, has now returned to this village that has been blessed by her..."

The firelight reflected on Pluto's face, which was full of nostalgia.

This was the first time Wu Yue heard the complete story about his mother from someone else.

Is this the kind of person my mother is?

"Miss Wu Yue, I wonder where Madam Bai lives now? If possible, I would like to meet her again and thank her in person."

"Mom, she..."

Wu Yue sighed and told Pluto all the information he had obtained about his mother so far, including everything that happened after crossing the Sea of Divine Punishment.

"...I'm sorry...If we had been more persistent...maybe we wouldn't have..."

Pluto's face was filled with grief, especially when he heard that the mother and daughter had been in Songa Mountain that year, he felt even more regretful.

"It's not your fault, it's fate... I just found out about it not long ago... Maybe..."

Perhaps, Pluto understands his mother better than himself...

Thinking of this, Wu Yue felt even more depressed than Pluto.

In the distance, the banquet was still going on. The villagers seemed to have forgotten what had happened during the day. Their simplicity and contentment kept their spirits always high, and every day was a festival.

And amidst the noise, there are two more melancholy hearts...
