Capítulo 679: 111. Seeking More Blessings (Two in One, Alliance Leader Bonus)_3
“Fortunately, she was unconscious; otherwise, the lack of anesthesia here would have been unbearable for her. But now she’s better, and there’s nothing wrong with her anymore. She probably just needs a few weeks of rest.”
Lord Raphael and everyone else behind breathed a sigh of relief. Lord Raphael moved forward to check Lar’s breathing and, after confirming that it had stabilized, she turned around to the Dragon-men who had been there all day and said,
“Alright, Lar is out of danger now. We owe thanks to Miss Moli from the Ocean… Lar will stay with me to recuperate, and you all should go and rest too. I’d like to have a chat with Miss Moli.”
“Yes, Lord Raphael.”
Even Lar’s own mother, after taking one last look at Lar, chose to leave. After Kexier and Fasher had left as well, Kree couldn’t help but chuckle as she glanced at Moli and Lord Raphael, saying,
“Lord Raphael, if I’m not around, you might not understand the language she speaks. After all, I’ve never heard it before.”
Just as Moli, who had been about to start a conversation with Lord Raphael, realized something and gently slapped her own forehead, muttering quietly,
“Shoot, I forgot this is the South Continent. How could anyone here speak the language of the Sea Floor? Besides that, I only know Nali Language. If only Lord Ramasitia could teach me the language used on the South Continent…”
Lord Raphael, on the other hand, was slightly surprised and suddenly spoke to Moli in Nali Language,
“You know Nali Language?”
“Ah, yes, I… I do. No… no wait, why does Miss Raphael also know it…”
Lord Raphael paused briefly, then her expression turned somewhat nostalgic,
“That’s a long story.”
Seeing that they could communicate in Nali Language, Kree nodded, left the cave where Lord Raphael lived to rest, and with Kree’s departure, the only ones who were still awake were Lord Raphael and Moli.
Lord Raphael gestured toward the seat on the ground beside her and invited Moli,
“Have a seat. The accommodations at the Dragon Court are still quite modest. I hope you don’t mind… Oh, would you like something to drink?”
“Ah, no need, no need at all. I can’t drink.”
Moli waved her hand. She had never tried such a thing from her childhood up to adulthood; there was no need for alcohol in the ocean, and she seldom attended student parties in Nali. It was said that Xuan Can had tried it but didn’t like the taste much.
While refusing, Moli suddenly noticed a carriage with distinct Human features behind Lord Raphael, and given its Nali style, it perhaps explained why the Dragon Queen could speak Nali Language so fluently… Could she have been acquainted with a Nali person before?
Lord Raphael then twisted open a canister of strong-smelling alcohol, and to Moli’s horrified gaze, gulped it down like water, and the most astonishing part was that her face remained unchanged like nothing had happened…
Could it be that all Dragon-man Species could drink like this?
“Sorry, I haven’t had a drink in a long time, and it’s only today… I’m somewhat sorry for asking for your help as soon as you arrived because of Lar’s situation. I heard you helped Kree and the others catch a traitor, though it was somewhat unexpected, I’m still very grateful for your help… Oh, I almost forgot to ask, you also know Nali Language, have you been to Nali before?”
Even Lord Raphael herself didn’t realize that her tone unwittingly revealed a touch of hope, but hearing this made Moli nervous, as she suddenly recalled that the Dragon Court was a demi-human organization risen in resistance against Human colonization, with Nali being the vanguard of that colonization… Oh dear, could she think I’m a spy for the Humans?!
Recalling Lord Ramasitia’s earlier warning, Moli quickly waved her hands,
“Um… although I’ve been to Nali, I didn’t stay there long and I’m not familiar with the people there, don’t worry.”

Seeing Moli’s response, Lord Raphael looked a bit disappointed. She gazed at the torch on the wall for a long time before smiling and saying,
“No worries, I was just curious about someone, it’s unrelated to whether you’ve been to Nali or not… May I call you Moli?”
“Yes, you can… Then, may I call you Lord Raphael?”
“Of course. So, Moli, what brought you to the South Continent?”
Without hesitation, Moli immediately responded,
“To become stronger. I… have someone very dear I want to protect, but I don’t have enough strength to protect him now. That’s why I left the ocean and came to the South Continent to seek trials, hoping that along this long journey, I can become stronger in order to…”
Moli’s words gave Lord Raphael a pause, as the tone of her voice unexpectedly tugged at her heartstrings, pushing her to empathize.
Ultimately, Lord Raphael’s cause was to allow the demi-human species of the South Continent, who had been oppressed by Human aggression, to live equally, unmarred by the ravages of warfare on their ancestral lands… Reflecting on herself, she too strove with all her effort, hoping one day to stand equally beside the man she cherished, to proclaim her existence to the world.
