Chapter 171 Happy Life
"I am Paula Leonel, daughter of the great general, Borong Leonel!"
Paula spoke in an awe-inspiring way, in hopes that she can amaze Alex.
That way, she can have an advantage later when they start talking.
However, when she took a peek at Alex's reaction, she just saw him staring back at her with a blank look.
Paula staggered, then she said, "Don't you feel amazed or anything?"
"Huh?" Alex tilted his head slightly and confusedly said, "Is there anything amazing about what you just said?"
Paula almost fell down to the ground after hearing Alex's words.
Her father, Borong Leonel, is a great general of the Kyisis Kingdom.
Borong Leonel, a great general who managed to defend the border of Kyisis Kingdom from the invasion of an enemy kingdom, all on his own!
And this is not just a one time thing.
Borong Leonel has done this again and because of that, he even acquired the title, One Man Fortress!
As a general, he had countless achievements and was known throughout the whole Kyisis kingdom.
Even those neighboring kingdoms knew of his name and some even feared it!
Now, seeing Alex's nonchalant attitude, Paula can't help but ask, "You, don't you know anything about my father?"
At her sudden question, Alex frowned, "Your father? You said his name is Borong Leonel, right? What's the matter with it?"
Paula looked at Alex speechlessly.
"I can't believe that there's someone living in Kyisis Kingdom but don't know of my father." She murmured.
Paula digested this shocking information in her for a while before she got rid of it in her mind.
Shaking her head, she decided to forget about getting an advantage and said, "Okay, fine, if you don't know my father, just forget it."
Paula's expression suddenly became serious and said, "Let's talk about the thing that we want to request from you."
Paula snapped her finger and suddenly, a golden cup appeared in her hand with unknown liquid in it.
When that golden cup appeared, Ferri and Blaze outside the hut suddenly felt some pressure pressing upon them.
They looked at each other, confirming that they both felt it before turning their eyes on the hut.

When Alex saw the golden appear, he immediately became more curious.
He pricked up his ears and listened intently.
Paula opened her mouth and said, "What we want to ask from you is actually a simple thing that can even bring you benefit."
could only be obtained from the body of dragons."
"However, not every dragon has this in them. Only a few pureblood Hearing that, Alex's curiosity heightened.
Seeing that, Paula raised the cup in her hand slightly and continued, "Inside this cup, there is a very precious material that could only be obtained from the body of dragons."
"However, not every dragon has this in them. Only a few pureblood dragons possess this."
"This is… Pureblood Dragon's Essence Blood."
When she said that, Paula moved the cup closer to Alex to let him see it.
Peeking inside the cup, Alex saw glowing golden blood, full of magnificence that couldn't even be explained with words.
The golden blood possesses brilliance that looks more precious than any gem to exist!
Alex stared at it for a while with fascinated eyes.
After paying their bill, Alex and the kids left the restaurant.
But before they left, Alex made sure to ask Chichi where he could find the owners of Dragon Diner.
Walking out of Riveria restaurant, Alex and the kids headed to the stables where Ferri and Blaze are resting.
By the way, Alex also ordered food for them earlier so while they are eating inside, Ferri and Blaze are also doing the same.
When they arrive at the stable, Ferri and Blaze are also done eating.
Feeling the presence of Alex and the kids approaching, the two monsters already got while looking in the direction where Alex and the kids are coming from.
When Alex saw the two, he waved and said, "Hey, Ferri and Blaze, did you guys like the food?
Ferri nodded humanely and barked, "Woof, woof!"
On the other hand, Blaze looks nonchalant as he nodded indifferently.
"Well, that's good." Alex said, "Then let's get out of here. We still have somewhere we need to go right now."
Saying that, Alex turned around and left with the kids following closely.
Hurriedly, Ferri and Blaze also caught up with them and they once again walked around the street.
Eyes gathered in their direction once again.
Not only because their group has two huge monsters but mostly because of Alex's Charisma.
Anyway, ignoring them, Alex led the way and they soon appeared at the east gate of River City.
The reason why Alex came here is because Chichi told him that the owners of Dragon Diner are actually living outside the city.
Outside the city, Alex and his group walked around for a while before arriving on an empty plains.
Looking around, Alex muttered, "Hmm, I wonder where's that place Chichi was talking about?"
"She said that I will find a giant boulder in the plains but… where the hell is it?"
Alex continued looking around with everyone and after a couple of minutes, they finally saw the giant boulder that Chichi told them about.
The boulder was hidden behind a few trees that are just near the plains.
"Now that we found the boulder, it will be easy to find their place. We just have to continue walking straight from here and we'll gradually get there."
Saying that, Alex turned to the kids and said, "You guys should climb back up to Ferri's back. It might take a while before we arrive at our destination."
"Okay!"
The kids obediently listened to Alex and climbed up and sat on Ferri' back.
Once everything was settled, everyone continued moving.
After walking for a while, they already left the plains and are now walking into the woods.
Maybe it's because of Ferri and Blaze's presence, but there are almost no monsters that can be seen as they walk.
Noticing that, Alex said, "It seems like the monsters that live here are only weak ones, huh."
Not putting much thought to it, Alex and his group continued heading deeper into the woods.
Finally, after they walked for almost 20 minutes, they finally saw a clearing inside the woods with a medium-sized wooden hut in the middle.
A smile was immediately plastered on Alex's face when he saw that.
"This is it! We're here at the hut that Chichi mentioned!"
Happily, Alex took a step forward, wanting to go near the hut.
But when his feet touched the ground, arrows suddenly shot out some trees on his left and right side, almost hitting him.

Pak!
The arrows that missed just passed by Alex and hit a tree on the other side.
Fortunately, Ferri, Blaze, and the kids were behind him and were outside the range of the arrows.
After being surprised by the trap arrows, Alex immediately went on alert and focused his eyes on the hut ahead.
"Is there anyone there? Please come out, we come in peace!"
Alex shouted, trying to make someone come out so he can talk to them.
A few seconds passed with no one saying anything, the door of the wooden hut slowly opened and the figure of a woman with red hair showed herself.
"Who are you?! What are you doing in this place?!"
With a frown and a feisty look on her face, the red-haired woman asked in a loud voice.
Seeing someone come out, Alex heaved a sigh of relief.
Then he organized his thoughts first and said, "Uhm, my name is Alex. Last time, I went to your restaurant and was lucky enough to get a skill after eating dragon meat."
The red-haired girl's face changed when she heard Alex's words.
"What?! Are you telling the truth?!"
She asked, immediately dropping her vigilance and hurriedly tried to get near Alex.
The red-haired woman stopped just a few inches away from Alex and repeated her question.
"Hey, answer me, are those words you just said true?"
Nodding his head, Alex casually said, "Yes. Last time when I went to Dragon Diner, I managed to acquire a dragon's skill after eating."
"Back then, Chichi said that she will call you but because I didn't want to be bothered by strangers, I decided to slip away before you arrived."
"Ah, yes, yes, that's right, I remember you. We even tried to catch up to you until the city gate but we weren't lucky."
The red-haired woman nodded, remembering that day.
Shaking her head, she looked at Alex and said, "My name is Paula, one of the owners of Dragon Diner and also the chef."
She stretched out her hand which Alex caught and shook.
"As I already said, my name is Alex."
Once the introductions were done, Paula invited Alex inside the hut.
"Let's go inside our house first, it's a bit weird to just stand here and talk."
Alex nodded.
"By the way, here behind me are my travel companions."
