Chapter 482 - 447: Becoming More and More Inhuman
Melina watched her mother close the Necromancy Codex. Although clueless about what the elders had discussed, Melina sensed something amiss with her mother’s mood.
Despite no visible change in expression, Melina, having stayed by her mother’s side for so long, could detect that the mood of Withered Rose wasn’t right.
Melina hurried to Withered Rose’s side and asked, "What happened?"
Withered Rose shook her head and said, "Your father is coming. The business with the Fury Tide Kingdom is in the final stage, and then I’ll be heading back to Gloomyland. You should stay with your father; otherwise, you’ll just get tricked by slaves into mining again."
Melina felt a bit embarrassed and quickly explained, "That was an accident! They initially said their Iron Pickaxe couldn’t even scratch the surface, so I showed them it could. And then they claimed the pickaxe would break after ten uses, so I proved it wouldn’t! After that, they said it might not be exactly ten times, but close to it, and I had to prove them wrong..."
Withered Rose said helplessly, "And then you ended up digging through an entire mining tunnel with one Iron Pickaxe."
Melina said excitedly, "But in the end, I proved the pickaxe was fine!"
Withered Rose looked at her daughter and said with resignation, "Behaving like this, you will only burden your father. When can I expect you to be of any help?"
