I am the heroine's godfather!

Miss Olivia, are you planning to kill the intruder with cuteness?

"Loran?"

Seeing Loran suddenly laugh, Olivia was a little puzzled. Loran waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. Well, if there's a chance in the future, I'll take you to see the maze."

Of course, it wasn't the maze in Loran's house. Although that maze had a gloomy layout, it posed no threat to Olivia. Only the two maids, Caroline and Mia, who were the bosses guarding the maze, posed any real threat.

Caroline: If we sisters join forces, how can we possibly defeat a single opponent!

Mia: My sister is right!

Ahem, although the maze at home isn't very good, Loran has traveled far and wide and knows of some very interesting mazes, such as a certain mirror maze, where the entire maze is made of mirrors and the monsters inside are mimicking monsters that can move through the mirrors and could jump out from any corner at any time to ambush you.

This labyrinth was among the most eerie of all the labyrinths Loran had ever seen.

Ah, no, interesting doesn't mean the underworld.

But it's alright, even so, Loran knows quite a few mazes suitable for children.

Yes, a fourth-level child.

"A child with fourth-tier strength who can transform into a dragon—would you like such a kid?"

Speaking of which, although we can't bring Olivia in, it's a real shame that the maze at home was only used once and then abandoned.

Hey! I have a great idea!

Lorraine suddenly realized that this thing could be used by Daisy, Anna, Laura, and others!

Letting children experience the dangers of mazes beforehand will instill basic caution in them when exploring them in the future. Besides, this is an experience other children would love to have but can't even find a way to have!

They've already won at the starting line!

Good heavens, I'm still thinking about the children at a time like this. I'm such a good teacher.

Okay, it's decided, these kids' summer homework is to beat this game!

Wait, what if Charlotte softens her heart and gives them the strategy guide?

It's time for an update! Besides, all the other kids have homework, but Charlotte doesn't. That won't do. What if Charlotte feels she's being treated differently?

Chapter 102 Olivia: What kind of champion are you?

Having completed the quest, Loran and Olivia returned to the guild together to hand it in.

As soon as the door was pushed open, the familiar commotion seemed to pause for a second, then cheers erupted: "Oh! Aren't these Loran and Olivia? Did they complete the mission again?"

"You've accomplished in less than two weeks what we usually do in three months! Awesome, bro!"

"I think it won't be long before Loran reaches S rank!"

"I'm definitely going to vote for Loran in this month's strongest adventurer competition!"

Due to their formidable strength and exceptional efficiency, Loran and Olivia's reputations have skyrocketed.

In about two weeks, Loran had regained roughly 80% of his strength—not much, but enough.

In short, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Loran should have no problem meeting the Dragon of Destiny.

"Mr. Loran, Miss Olivia, this is your payment for this. Please accept it."

The receptionist gave them payment. Loran and Olivia had been staying at a hotel during this time; there was really no need to buy a house here.

There was another issue with staying at the hotel: Miss Olivia insisted on having only one room, as she felt insecure sleeping alone. Loran didn't believe her at all; after all, he hadn't seen her show any signs of insecurity while they were in the library.

As a result, Olivia lowered her head, looking dejected: "Because I didn't want Loran to worry, I never told him."

Ugh, I suddenly feel so guilty.

In the end, Loran agreed to Olivia's suggestion, but sharing a bed was absolutely out of the question! As a mature adult, Loran would never do such a thing!

So sleeping on the sofa became the only option.

However, Miss Olivia was sensible, so she obediently changed to a twin room afterwards.

After accepting the commission, Loran asked, "Speaking of which, when does this month's evaluation begin?"

"Hmm, probably next Monday. It seems Mr. Loran is really looking forward to seeing Lord Dragon of Destiny."

"Yes, I have great respect for this gentleman."

Loran feigned a longing look, and the receptionist laughed. Wasn't this just like a child wanting to meet their idol? Who would have thought that the usually composed Mr. Loran would have such a childlike side!

However, this is quite normal, isn't it? Who wouldn't respect the Dragon of Destiny?

"Don't worry, Lord Loran. Apart from a few S-ranks, no one can rival you this month! Moreover, none of the S-ranks are in the city, so Mr. Loran has nothing to worry about."

"Ah, speaking of which, where did those S-rank individuals go?"

"Hmm, I'm not too sure about that either."

The receptionist looked somewhat troubled: "It seems that all the S-ranks have gone to carry out the special missions assigned to them by Lord Dragon of Destiny."

Special mission?

Loran fell into deep thought. Could these S-rank individuals be considered as a suitable combat force? After all, an S-rank individual at the very least possesses the strength of a fourth-tier rank, and some are even fifth-tier. Although they are not considered powerful, they can still be considered usable combat forces.

So, what exactly is the mission that requires these combatants, who can almost be called the number one fighters under the Dragon of Destiny in this city, to carry out?

Loran squinted.

It seems that only by seeing the Dragon of Destiny can the mystery be solved.

Hmm, I need to prepare for the meeting with the Dragon of Destiny. After all, no one knows what level this guy really is. Is he just a phantom from the past, or has he truly survived into the era of Loran?

It's unlikely to be the latter, after all, a thousand years have passed since the destruction of Kadia to the time of Loran. Even a dragon with slow power growth should have reached the eighth rank by now.

If she really is an eighth-tier player, how could another eighth-tier player bypass her and destroy the city behind her?

Just kidding.

In any case, Loran still needs to meet this dragon.

--------------

Monday's evaluation arrived quickly, and the tavern was bustling with activity.

Who do you think will be the strongest adventurer?

Adventurer A: "I guess it's Loran."

Adventurer B: "It must be Loran."

Adventurer C: "Loran, but if we include the other S-ranks, it might be a different story."

Loran: "Someone else besides me."

"This month's strongest adventurer is—Olivia!"

"Holy crap, who is Olivia?"

"Isn't this the little girl next to Loran? How could it be her?"

"Although, Olivia is really cute."

"I didn't say Olivia wasn't cute, the problem is this is a ranking of the strongest adventurer!"

This result surprised Loran somewhat. The receptionist then explained that Loran and Olivia had always worked together, so the work was considered a joint effort. Therefore, the selection of the strongest adventurer would have to be decided by the votes of the other adventurers.

Then, with ideas like "cuteness is justice", "everyone will vote for Loran anyway, so it's no big deal if I vote for Olivia", and "even with my vote, Loran still can't beat Olivia", everyone voted for Olivia.

Knowing the answer, Loran couldn't help but look at the few guys who had previously said they wanted to vote for him.

At this moment, these guys all turned their heads away, humming songs, not daring to look at him.

"?"

Olivia was still somewhat confused about the situation. She was bewildered as the receptionist put a laurel wreath on her, led her to the podium, and stuffed a large trophy into her hand.

Although the result was somewhat beyond Loran's expectations, fortunately the plan did not go wrong - after all, seeing the Dragon of Destiny would allow the winner's entire team to enter.

Since the plan went smoothly, Loran didn't say much—after all, Olivia won the championship through her own ability (and looks), so what could he say?

Olivia is the strongest adventurer, so what kind of champion are you, Loran?

"Loran, Olivia, have you gotten into trouble?"

Because it was different from what was initially planned, Olivia was still a little worried. Loran smiled and patted Olivia's head: "No, besides, Olivia won the championship on her own merit."

"So, is Loran happy?"

"?"

"Is Lorraine happy that Olivia won the championship?"

Looking at Olivia, who seemed like a child seeking praise, Loran smiled and said, "I'm happy."

"Ah That's good."

After the evaluation was over, the receptionist led them to the deepest room in the Adventurers' Guild and guided them to stand between the teleportation arrays.

The teleportation array glowed, and Loran and Olivia were so startled that they instinctively closed their eyes.

When the two opened their eyes, they found themselves in a magnificent palace, with a silver-haired woman sitting on a high platform.

Chapter 103 The First Meeting Between the Silver-Haired Woman and the Silver-Haired Loli

"Welcome to my palace, visitor."

The silver-haired woman spoke softly, her voice carrying an undisguised authority: "As a reward, you may confide your troubles to me, or state your wishes. As long as they do not cross my bottom line, and are within my power, I will grant them."

Loran scrutinized the silver-haired woman. She was extremely beautiful, but that wasn't the main point. Rather, Loran could see a familiar charm in her eyes and brows, like...

Loran looked at Olivia.

Yes, just like a mature Olivia.

Mom said it was a great victory (bushi)

"Ok?"

The silver-haired woman sensed Loran's gaze, frowned, and seemed to realize something. She narrowed her eyes and looked at Loran.

After a long silence, she slowly said, "Why have you come to my territory, unknown sage?"

Yes, even though Loran didn't deliberately try to hide it, the Dragon of Destiny, who was also a saint, could naturally sense his rank.

Similarly, Loran also sensed the silver-haired woman's rank.

Level seven.

So, is she really just a phantom from the past? Otherwise, why is she still stuck at the seventh rank after a thousand years?

Of course, there may be other possibilities.

However, now is not the time to consider such things. Loran chuckled and said, "Your Excellency, I am here mainly for the child behind me."

"Oh?"

Only then did the Dragon of Destiny notice Olivia behind Loran. Her nostrils twitched slightly, and a look of confusion appeared on her face: "She is... a silver dragon?"

"Yes."

Loran didn't speak, but Olivia took the initiative to say, "I am a silver dragon."

"I have never seen you before."

The Dragon of Destiny said in a low voice, "Most of the Silver Dragons live on Dragon Island, especially the young dragons who are not yet adults. As for you, I have never heard of a young dragon like you."

"Tell me, child, who are your parents?"

The Dragon of Destiny softened its tone. Although the dragon race itself is not a very united race, they have an extremely high sense of honor for their own race and at the same time, they take great care of their young dragons.

The Dragon of Destiny couldn't help but feel a little strange that a cub of its own kind, which it had never seen before, had appeared in front of it, especially at this time.

Kadia has already fallen, hasn't it? It's a forbidden area now, so how could dragons still enter? And what about cubs?

Could it be a cub born in the territory of Cadia before Cadia fell?

It's possible that during the heyday of Cardia, it had a good relationship with Dragon Island, and many dragons chose to settle in Cardia. Some dragons even married humans and had children, giving birth to what was once considered a disgrace—half-dragons.

However, when the Great Cataclysm broke out, most of the dragons had already evacuated, leaving only a few with her to guard various places.

Could it be that something happened to the child's parents, leaving her behind?

How pitiful.

However, when asked by the Dragon of Destiny, Olivia shook her head: "I have no memory of it."
