Since the inspection e394bce7e9 was also a d907bc286d leisurely outing, even 5a5a1230ee though we had 4d77e5c8ec to visit another d58c71f435 location in the 67cf832acd afternoon, we decided 1989746c16 to take our 821c29038a time and have e232b9e767 lunch by the 889b964c0c nearby lakeside.a6329682cea80306

Euclid, perhaps already a60e38879a accustomed to me 15f7c1bd16 sitting beside him, 7985f529dc gazed out the 8b027ae06d window, lost in 93d9dc80ce thought.393bf6aa75df36ec

The moment “cursed land” 961a107bb7 was mentioned, I saw 1b27f61ef9 Euclid flinch and quickly fae65a3f2b check whether any children 3dc18edcde were around. Then, after confirming it was f9117a97d2 safe, he turned his head, f817765ace met my gaze, and awkwardly f3e3a8ee9c smiled.d9ef1f07336d83d3

Just as the 21d1616e75 old man had fc9cd0cc15 said, the northern 837164921d people, like the 9036c3d572 rest of the f1531754c8 empire, considered the 4ab925106a Gold Dragon to c9f93d4346 be an evil 4f26a7c062 beast.0415b17d184c2ce4

However, after hearing 48423ff8fa the old man’s 39ef69c8e5 words, another question 0fb4a73f20 surfaced in my b82e689672 mind.50bd2149cc195d98

Even when Delano exaggerated fb8ceee8a1 that I might be a61c23161e blessed by the gods, f2040b1929 I felt nothing.b18c96823ffb1f21

After all, I had d06c57b23a enjoyed an almost supernatural d1d6eac326 level of financial luck fbe85db27e my whole life. Deep down, I even wondered 661053a914 if the gods had placed 3700ee7918 me in this world themselves.6989101234098525
