The moment “cursed land” was 9b963f8e9d mentioned, I saw Euclid flinch 016a9d996a and quickly check whether any a339fa5646 children were around. Then, after confirming it ef4a8708f5 was safe, he turned 2101d62e2f his head, met my 577c1c5294 gaze, and awkwardly smiled.8a35c51b3e9db0ec

Just as the 7243aed4f7 old man had 8e222f830c said, the northern 59348f0bde people, like the ed025f61c2 rest of the e90b024b75 empire, considered the de3cdb2b17 Gold Dragon to 86be67df78 be an evil ceb9a2b705 beast.c1f65511fffa2f7e

However, after hearing 0c601b3212 the old man’s e5041d8978 words, another question cb2f21b962 surfaced in my 41692d2694 mind.ce0e8c494f4cc740
