Chapter Forty-Five: The Belated Letter

However, this kind of compensation wasn't very effective; it couldn't fill the sisters' stomachs at all.

In the blink of an eye, another two or three days have passed.

In total, it was barely five days.

The baby dragon sisters, who were once lively and energetic, now look extremely weak and have become noticeably thinner.

However, Elena was in very good condition; on the surface, she seemed to have recovered completely.

With a soft moan, Elena slowly opened her eyes.

The quiet baby dragon sisters had sparkling eyes, full of surprise.

"Oh my god, you wretched woman, you're finally awake. Let me go, I'm starving!" Orpheus frantically signaled with her eyes, hoping Elena would understand her needs.

Unfortunately, Elena and Orpheus don't click.

Elena carefully felt her own physical condition.

"The surface skin and flesh have fully recovered."

"However, some toxins still remain in the internal organs."

"I haven't fully recovered. Even my strength has been severely reduced due to the residual toxins."

Elena had mixed feelings; she hadn't expected Sophia to be so terrifying.

She was merely affected by Sophia's dragon breath, and that was it.

If she were to be hit by the dragon's breath, she felt she would be completely obliterated, not even a speck of dust would remain.

Even that ethereal soul would inevitably be reduced to nothingness by the dragon's breath, denying her even the chance to be reincarnated.

"Fortunately, all the disasters are over. Now, it's my time to shine." Elena quickly regained her confidence and was full of hope for the future.

With a casual tap, she dispelled the surrounding defenses.

The outside world came into view.

At this moment, the sun is shining brightly and the air is fresh.

Strange roars of magical beasts could be heard from afar from time to time.

"Hey, what's wrong with you guys?"

Elena finally saw the baby dragon sisters.

When she discovered that the once healthy baby dragon had become thin and frail, she panicked, worried that the dragon she had acquired at great cost would die young and mysteriously.

Elena then removed the cage and immobilization spell, freeing the two young dragons.

"Aww, finally we can eat!" Finland cheered, pressing his entire body against the ground and frantically munching on the soil.

She was so hungry that she ate the dirt, which she would never have bothered to eat before, with relish.

"Human sister, you're finally awake. It's been five days, and I thought you were dead. Do you know how worried I was?" Ophie, suppressing her hunger, moved closer to Elena.

Elena gaped, her face filled with astonishment: "Ah, five days have already passed?!"

Only then did she understand why these young dragons had become so thin.

"That's terrifying. If I had fallen asleep for half a month or a month, wouldn't all these dragons have starved to death?" Elena was filled with lingering fear, and the thought of the consequences sent chills down her spine.

This operation came at a tremendous cost to their kingdom.

If we fail, we will lose everything and our national strength will decline.

"Oh, don't worry about me, go eat your food."

Orpheus's "concern" touched Elena quite a bit. She felt that the green dragon was much more pleasing to the eye now.

"Perhaps, I really can become a dragon knight." Elena couldn't help but feel hopeful.

Although she had many thoughts in her mind, her hands moved very quickly.

With a "whoosh," a large pile of vegetables and flesh appeared out of thin air and then fell to the ground.

These foods were prepared and stored in her spatial artifacts before Elena arrived.

Now, these two baby dragons are getting a good deal.

"Thank you, sister." Orpheus lowered her head obediently.

Elena was pleased, thinking that this was truly a "good child".

"Damn it, there's something delicious, and you didn't even tell me." Finland smelled the aroma and turned around. Only then did she realize that Elena was giving Orphe a special treat.

She was furious. "I want to eat too!"

"Ophie, I'm your older sister. You can't possibly eat all the food by yourself."

She scrambled over, like a hungry piglet, frantically snatching the food.

This time, instead of clashing with Finland, Ophie took the initiative to distance herself and avoid Finland.

Elena frowned. Compared to Orpheus, Finland was truly rude and impolite. If it weren't for the preciousness of the baby dragon and its dire hunger, she would have definitely taught Finland a lesson a few more times.

Where Elena couldn't see, Ophie's face, turned towards the ground, was twisted and contorted, revealing intense malice.

'Damn humans, you just wait! Don't give me the chance, or I'll eat you and wipe out your entire race!'

Her feigned innocence and attempts to win favor were all just a facade.

These concessions were all made in order to have a better life in the future.

But that was never her true thought, and she would never be moved by Elena's little bit of kindness.

This is the evil dragon, a born evil species.

However, Orpheus is the kind of dragon who is good at enduring hardship and is slightly intelligent.

Elena recovered from her injuries and regained her fighting strength, which also made her bolder. She no longer kept a close eye on the baby dragon.

At this moment, she took out the "Communication Book" specifically for contacting the three brothers of the master.

"I slept for so long, Master and Dad must have been worried sick." Elena felt very guilty at this moment.

But this is something we have to face.

She began to look at the pages of the book.

Five days ago, early morning.

(Delin: Your Highness, how are you? Is the young dragon alright?)

(Delin: Your Highness, I am seriously injured and must hide away to recuperate for a while. I will be unable to help you from now on.)

(Delin: Your Highness, Philin has gone missing. I can't reach him. I have a bad feeling.)

...

When Elena saw the message above, her expression turned serious.

She continued reading.

Four days ago.

(Delin: Your Highness, why haven't you replied yet? What's wrong with you?)

(Delin: Did something happen to you? Damn it, we put in so much effort, why did we fail? Today, Phil still hasn't replied. It seems he really didn't escape.)

Three days ago.

(Delin: Your Highness, I will strive to live on and avenge you.)

...

After that, Delin disappeared without a trace and stopped speaking.

Clearly, Delin had completely resigned himself to his fate and regarded Elena as "dead."

Elena quickly spoke up: (Master Delin, are you still there? I'm alright, I'm still alive, and the baby dragon is fine too. We didn't fail.)

Ten seconds later.

(Delin: That's good, that's good. Brother Thorin and Brother Philin can rest in peace now.)

In the distance, deep in the dense forest, lies a dark cave.

At this moment, Delin, weak and pale, was hiding in the cave, excitedly looking at the Book of Communication.

He never expected things to take such a dramatic turn; Elena, the princess who had been out of contact, would actually reply to him at this moment.

He was overjoyed and wanted to burst into song.

"Cough cough cough."

Perhaps due to excessive excitement affecting his health, Delin coughed violently, and blood flowed from his throat.

Delin clutched his chest tightly, trying to calm himself down.

The injuries I sustained in the previous battle with Sophia were too severe.

At the same time, he also used a killer drug with severe side effects, causing even more serious damage to his body.

Such an injury cannot be healed in just a few days.

In fact, in the past few days, Delin has not only failed to recover, but has become even more seriously ill.

If it weren't for the hatred that sustained him, even if Sophia hadn't found him and eaten him alive, there was still a chance that his injuries would have worsened and he would have died.
