Miss Dragon, the BOSS, will not be captured.

Yet this undead girl, who is very likely an enemy, possesses all sorts of information that even Estia doesn't know, and judging from the things she says, she may know exactly what happened a thousand years ago.

Estia had a deep obsession: to find the truth. Although she lazily stayed in the Netherworld Dragon Abyss for the past thousand years, she never gave up sending her subordinates to search, but ultimately found nothing.

Yunia is such a strange person. She won't say anything when asked anything, but just keeps explaining about star spot disease and the box.

Estia inevitably began to speculate, even conspiring. Of course, she wanted to believe that Yunia had some reason for not telling her. Did Yunia's previous warning to be wary of the World AI mean that Yunia was being monitored by the World AI?

In any case, Estia has now found a clue: the asteroid disease is connected to the box left by her mother. The next step is to figure out how to understand the asteroid disease.

Throughout her thousand-year life, Esther had never heard of asteroides, so she had to start her research from scratch.

In that sense, Ye Qingxian's value instantly increased by several orders of magnitude.

Esther originally wanted to kick Ye Qingxian out, but now her thoughts have reversed. In order to crack the box left by her mother, she has decided to use Ye Qingxian as an experimental subject to study until she dies.

As for Ye Qingxian's thoughts? If she disagrees, then force her. As long as Ye Qingxian lives in this world, she will not escape her grasp.

Estia went to where Yunia had stood, squatted down, touched some dirt with her finger, and finally sighed.

It was more like a ghost than an undead, leaving not a trace of its presence. It seems that Yunia must have deliberately released her aura to lure her over.

The land of spirit summoning was gloomy and terrifying, with the occasional cawing of crows coming from the withered trees. Estia originally planned to leave directly, but she thought that since it was an area within the Netherworld Dragon Abyss, she might as well explore it properly.

So she stepped deeper into the land of spirits and gradually discovered many tombstones located on both sides of the road, each with inscriptions on it.

The silver dragon girl stood before the group of tombstones, wiping away the dust from them with her hands and carefully reading the inscriptions.

"Lucas, Private First Class, Imperial Morrowind Legion"

Marion, Sergeant Major of the Imperial "Dawn" Legion

"..."

"..."

Estia never expected that these tombstones were actually the tombstones of Imperial soldiers.

As the master of the Netherworld Dragon Abyss, this was the first time she had ever seen these tombstones.

She continued walking forward and, among the densely packed tombstones, discovered something noteworthy.

It was also a tombstone, but unlike the other tombstones, there was a tuft of dark gray hair fluttering in the wind in front of it, which looked like hair.

The tombstone reads: "Yunia, Imperial Guard Legion (crossed out)"

Estia was silent for a few seconds, then grabbed the tuft of hair protruding from the ground and pulled the girl out of the soil.

"So you didn't leave... no, you've been living here?"

Estia and Yunia stared at each other. She knew that the other's eyes would be lifeless and her face would be expressionless, but at this moment, she believed that the undead girl was definitely in a state of panic.

"what you up to."

Yunia pinched Esther's arm, causing Esther to loosen her grip due to the pain.

Now Esther knew why Yunia's clothes were covered in dirt—she had crawled out of the ground!

"Why don't you even have a coffin?"

"I'm not dead, why would I need a coffin?"

"Aren't the dead just the deceased?"

"bias."

Yunia kicked the dirt into the pit where she had been sleeping, filling it up.

"I still have many questions for you, can you answer them?"

Estia spoke to Yunia in a polite tone, because to her, Yunia was no longer a suddenly appearing imperial ghost, but a valuable source of intelligence.

This time, Yunia put her hand to her mouth, making a shushing gesture.

Estelle immediately understood: "Are you writing?"

Yunia shook her head: "I've said what I should say, and I can't say what I shouldn't say."

It wasn't that she wanted to be a riddle teller, but rather that there were some things she simply couldn't say.

"Go and try to open the box, with the power of stardust."

"Could you give me a hint?"

"No."

As Yunia spoke, she knocked over her own tombstone.

What are you doing?

"Now that you've found out, I'll move away from here."

"You don't need to leave... I don't mind you living in the Netherworld Dragon Abyss."

"Then I'll be honest. I have my own things to do. When the world's AI comes here in a few days, it will definitely find me."

Hearing what Yunia said, Estia didn't stop her, but still asked, "Where are you planning to go?"

“Go to a very far place, Estia. Like you, I also have something to search for.”

Whether it was Estella's imagination or not, Yunia's words contained a slight emotional fluctuation.

"Besides, you want me to give you some hints? The knowledge I just told you is already a form of guidance for you."

"Um... thank you."

"I hope you can find the truth soon, but I want to say that sometimes knowing the truth is not a good thing."

After Yunia left, Esther stood there for a long time, but in the end, she remained firm in her decision.

Unless she is willing to give up the name Estia and the story of Estia, she must seek the truth.

After a while, Estia noticed that Ye Qingxian had returned to the Netherworld Dragon Abyss, so she used her ability to teleport to Ye Qingxian's side.

"Help!!!"

At this moment, Ye Qingxian was running away frantically. In order to run faster, she simply took off her shoes, since running barefoot was faster than running in high heels.

Her pursuers were several hounds belonging to Fenrir, but since Ye Qingxian had activated the Bard skill, she wouldn't be caught by the hounds for the time being.

Estia paused for a few seconds, then burst into laughter. Ye Qingxian, that idiot! The hounds at the entrance to the Netherworld Dragon Abyss didn't want to attack her at all; they just wanted to play with her.

These puppies are quite cute, at least in Esther's opinion.

However, in Ye Qingxian's eyes, each dog was the size of a rhinoceros, and their appearance was ferocious and terrifying...

If we get caught, we'll be torn to pieces!

Section 54.049 This is an illness, it needs treatment.

"Estella! Help me!"

Ye Qingxian saw Esther and ran towards her as if grasping at a glimmer of hope.

However, Esther smiled mischievously and raised her hand to create an ice wall in front of Ye Qingxian.

"you you!"

Ye Qingxian never expected that Estya would not only fail to save her, but would instead dig a pit for her.

With the hunting dogs catching up behind her and her path blocked in front, Ye Qingxian had no choice but to run to either side.

Unexpectedly, the bushes on both sides rustled, and several hunting dogs suddenly emerged, forming a pincer movement.

With the hunting dogs behind him, it was a three-sided encirclement... surrounded by enemies on three sides!

The nearest hunting dog had already opened its mouth and stuck out its tongue, and Ye Qingxian closed her eyes in despair.

"Ow!"

Suddenly, she heard the howling of hunting dogs. Ye Qingxian opened her eyes and found the dogs fleeing in panic, while Esther stood beside her.

Estya knew that the hound licking people was just to express affection, but if Ye Qingxian was licked, wouldn't her body get dirty?

Ye Qingxian's body will smell like hound saliva... Ugh, just thinking about Estya makes me nauseous.

Ye Qingxian is now a treasure in her eyes, the key to opening the box left by her mother.

"Thank you for saving me..."

Ye Qingxian was still somewhat shaken. Esther was really mean; she had deliberately scared her just now.

"Is the mission complete?"

"Yes, everything has been bought."

"Very good, you have done a great job."

Estia suddenly reached out and touched her head out of habit.

"you……"

"Oh, sorry, monsters usually like to be treated like this."

Estella's head pat is a reward, and many monsters will ask Estella to pat their heads after completing a quest.

But Ye Qingxian never considered Esther to be her master; in her view, such behavior was really too strange.

The notification sounded as the task was completed, and the large amount of experience points allowed Ye Qingxian to level up more than ten times in a row. Now she was a weakling at level 58.

"By the way, have you been able to contact your mother?" Esther asked with concern.

"not yet."

Ye Qingxian was a little puzzled as to why Esther was suddenly concerned about her.

"That……"

"Can I leave tomorrow?" Ye Qingxian asked first.

Until today, her status is Estia's maid, but she will be free tomorrow.

“No, you can’t leave.” Estia refused outright.

"why?"
