However, I soon had no time to think about whether Ivi Zebo was my Frius and how to meet the Ice King.
My own problem is more serious.
When I was working, a group of soldiers rushed into the mercenary union. The owner of the pawn shop followed them, pointed at me and said, "Sir, it's him!"
Then the soldiers took me away and put me in jail.
I squatted in the cell and thought silently about my mother, the ruby she has been treating as a baby for so many years, shouldn't it be fake? If it's fake, I'll take it as if the pawnbroker sued the officials to arrest me.
Not long after I was arrested, I was arraigned by someone who seemed to be a high-ranking official here.
He asked me where the ruby pendant came from. I insisted that it was passed down from my mother.
He was very angry, his face was full of disbelief, and he wanted to torture me. An old man next to him who was like a staff officer stopped him and whispered a few words in his ear.
He looked at me a little more probingly and asked where I came from.
I thought about it and told him truthfully: "I'm from the other side of the sea, Vanessa."
He ordered a silver box with a round green stone in it. I have heard of this stone, it is called Biyin stone. It is said that it is regarded as a symbol of royal power because of its low production and special reaction to the blood of the Biyin royal family. Grant them the power to govern the land.
The old man took out a small knife and slashed my left hand, and then pressed the wound to the Biyin Stone—the stone really changed, the original emerald green gradually faded, and finally turned into a pure white one.
And then I was pampered again, and the ruby pendant was back in my hands—they said I had the purest Bein royal blood.
I also learned that the ruby that my mother gave me as a family heirloom turned out to be the precious bloody stone of the town that has been lost for a long time in the Biyin Kingdom. It is said that there is a blessing left by His Majesty the ancient demon on it, which can bring power to the person who wears it. Status wealth and good luck.
But my mother clearly told me that it was a stone that brought love, and it didn't work otherwise. She was worried about my early love and only gave me the stone when I was an adult.

The beach where I found Frius actually has a special meaning to me - it is said that my father picked it up there when he was drifting by boat with only Anna accompanying my mother.
I know my mother is from Yikang mainland, but she never tells her previous life and stories. This kind of kinship in blood further aggravates my curiosity about the other side of the sea, so I especially like to listen to the troubadours telling the legendary stories on the Yikang continent.
The officials here sent people to escort me to the capital, and I learned from those people that I should have belonged to my mother—the second in line to the throne of the Bein Kingdom, Ambera. It is said that I originally had an uncle named Anlix, who was my mother's brother and the first heir to the throne. The two had a good relationship. But when the royal family was in turmoil, my mother took the opportunity to run away and live in Vanus. After the turmoil was settled, my uncle, who was already frail and sick, also died because he was too worried about the safety of his sister.
I remembered the look my mother looked at me before I set off - hesitant to say anything, but said nothing.
His Majesty King Bein today is my mother's cousin Andrew, who is said to have succeeded the throne after my grandfather and uncle died. He welcomed me very warmly.
I used every opportunity to ask the people around me about the dragon race. They looked at me strangely and didn't say much. The news I got in the palace was not as much as in a small mercenary union. .
One afternoon about a month later, Andrew asked me to have afternoon tea together, and then asked me, "I heard that you are very interested in the dragon race?"
I should be.
He said, "Recently, the kingdom just needs envoys to visit the territory of the Golden Dragon Clan? Do you want to go there as a representative of the royal family?"
Without thinking much, I agreed.
I have also heard about the Golden Dragon Clan. The environment of Yikang Continent is much more complicated than that of Vanus. Not only are there all kinds of wonderful races, but also because it is adjacent to the dark abyss in the north, it is often infested by monsters. destroyed by these monsters. In this case, human beings formed alliances with elves, dwarves, giants, dragons and other races to fight against monsters together.
Among them, the relationship between the human kingdom and the dragon family is the most delicate. The dragon family has a long lifespan, and the relative breeding cycle is much longer than that of the human being. The number of ethnic groups cannot be compared with the human beings. However, they are individually strong, each dragon has a strong fighting ability, and has a strong ethnic group concept, so they are not afraid of the monsters on the mainland, and high-level monsters will consciously not provoke dragons, and many human monarchs will be close to the dragon clan. Send all kinds of resources to seek shelter from monsters and even invaded by other countries.
Very close to the Biyin Kingdom is the territory of the Golden Dragon Clan. For the past 100 years, the Golden Dragon Clan has been the patron of the Biyin Kingdom.
The unfamiliarity of coming to the new environment, the eagerness to see Frius, and the shock of learning about my mother's life suddenly made me ignore all the inconsistencies. I vaguely remembered that I had heard the name of the Bein Kingdom, but I didn't think about it.
By the time I realized something was wrong, I was already sitting on the carriage heading for the territory of the Golden Dragon Clan, and I found that the carriage was sealed with magic spells all around, as if to prevent me from escaping.
At that time, an epiphany flashed in my mind, and I remembered the "secret" story that Frius once told me that I didn't care about: The king of the mighty human kingdom Bein is a greedy man who fears death and will The little man who gave his daughter to the dragon family to seek shelter, and his son to the dark wizard to seek the way of longevity...
Rumors are bound to be wrong. However, when I recall this moment, I can't help but sweat - my mother owns the precious blood stone of the country, and my blood can make the stone react, so that if the mother is really the honorable Princess Ambila, who is she? Under what circumstances would you panic, flee to the other side of the sea with Anna, and refuse to talk about her past for nearly 30 years
I closed my eyes. I know that even if I call to stop at this time, no one will pay attention to me.
