“I think that if he can really do what he said and raise me to the middle stage of the Eternal Realm without any side effects, then I think it’s worth exchanging.”
Fiona had thought about this question long ago, so she answered quickly without any hesitation.
“Oh? Aren’t you going to think about it further? After all, that’s a rune. It’s a treasure that many people want to obtain.”
German continued to test him.
“That’s not how things look. The value of an item also depends on who has it. After our clan obtained this rune, we didn’t see how much our clan’s strength had increased. Instead, we put a lot of pressure on ourselves, afraid that others would find out about this news.”
“But, if we manage to research it one day, we might have great strength..”
German mentioned another possibility, which was also the hope in his heart.
“Although that’s the case, it’s too clear. No one knows when we will be able to research it out. What if a thousand years later? By then, will the Laurent family still exist?
“Therefore, it’s better to take advantage of the time when there’s value to trade for the strength that we lack the most. It’s best to hold the strength in our own hands.”
Fiona said the same thing as Artoria.
Then, she said with confidence, “Moreover, I’m not sure how much power that rune can bring. Everything is just a legend. At most, it’s at the advanced stage of the Eternal Realm or the peak of the Eternal Realm.
“I believe that as long as I’m given time, I’ll definitely be able to do it. I don’t need runes.”
Seeing his daughter’s heroic appearance, German’s face was filled with relief.
He was old after all. He liked to take advantage of opportunities. He no longer had the spirit of a young man.
It seemed that there was a reason why his family’s strength had stagnated at this level.
It was because he had delayed the family.
But now, a better successor had appeared.
Powerful, confident, and understanding of government affairs. She was a good seedling.
“Then you can do as you please. However, there are two things that I want to make clear.”
“Father, please speak!”
Seeing that German not only objected, but also supported her, Fiona felt a burst of pleasant surprise.
“First, you need to find your best friend Caitlin to inquire about that Su Han’s specific situation. This is also to help you better judge a person.”
“Second, only the clan leader can get the runic symbol.”
“As for the wedding, once you advance to the intermediate stage of the Eternal Realm, it will naturally be easy to resolve.”
“I understand.”
Fiona nodded silently.
She understood what her father meant. Although Su Han looked very reliable, it was still better to find Caitlin to understand him.
As for the rune, she had to agree to become the clan leader and shoulder the heavy responsibility of the clan.
Fiona didn’t reject these things. Compared to the consequences of a marriage, these were things she could accept.
“Then I’ll go to Lux’s house now. I heard Caitlin went there to stay.”
“Okay, you go.”
“Su Han, huh.”
After seeing Fiona leave the hall, German kept thinking about this name.
German was really curious about him. Ever since he appeared, his daughter seemed to have thought it through and knew what to do.
So, he asked Fiona to go to Caitlin’s place to see if she could learn more information.
However, he did not do nothing. He directly ordered the guards to collect information about Su Han, wanting to understand him in detail.
While German was collecting information, Fiona also came to the Reigning family’s manor.
The Reigning family was more powerful than the Laurent family, so the manor would naturally be bigger.
Fiona looked at this place and felt a little envious. She wanted to build her family as big as this place in the future.
After the guard reported, Lux quickly came out to welcome her.
“Long time no see, Fiona!”
“Yeah, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you come to play with me!”
The two of them directly hugged each other when they met, and they were both very happy.
As one of the few outstanding girls in Mithril City, the relationship between the two of them was naturally very good.
“It’s too boring to go to your place. You always practice your sword.”
At the mention of this, Lux pouted.
“Alright, it’s all my fault. Is Caitlin with you? I have something to ask her.”
Fiona patted Lux’s head and spoke with a chuckle.
Fiona had always treated this little girl who was a little younger than her as her younger sister.
“Ah, so it’s for Caitlin. I thought it was for me.”
Lux pretended to be angry.
“No, no. I’m also here to see my lovely lux. Take me to Caitlin. I have something to ask her.”
Hearing Fiona mention Caitlin twice, Lux knew that she had something important to do.
So she didn’t delay any longer and directly took her into the manor.
Seeing that Lux didn’t dawdle, Fiona was very happy. This was also one of the things that she liked about Lux very much.
Although she was easy to act coquettishly, she didn’t dawdle at all when it came to serious matters.
“Caitlin felt that the weather was too hot, so she hid in her room and ate some fruits.”
As she walked, Lux told her why she was the only one who came out.
“Sigh, this girl is just too spoiled. She’s too lazy.”
Fiona held her forehead and shook her head.
She could already imagine Caitlin’s current appearance in the room.
She must be lying on the sofa with her legs crossed, eating fruits while shaking her legs.
How could she get married in the future?
Soon, the two of them arrived in the room.
As soon as they entered the room, a gust of cold wind blew. Fiona instantly felt much better.
Well, it was indeed much cooler inside than outside. No wonder Caitlin didn’t want to go out.
“Long time no see, Fiona!”
Caitlin, who was lying on the sofa, greeted Fiona.
Just as Fiona had expected, she was lying there like a salted fish.
“Caitlin, Fiona is looking for you.”
Lux told her the reason.
“Eh? What’s the matter?”
Caitlin was puzzled. Could it be that she wanted me to help her escape from the marriage?
Well, she was not sleepy anymore.
She sat up straight from the sofa.
Fiona didn’t understand why Caitlin suddenly changed her appearance, but she still told her why she came.
“It’s like this, Caitlin. I met two people outside before. Their names are Su Han and Artoria. They…”
Fiona told her another story about what she had encountered before.
However, she didn’t reveal anything about the runes.
It was not that she did not trust the two people in front of her, but if one less person knew about it, the risk would be reduced.
After hearing Fiona’s words, Lux and Caitlin were also surprised.
They did not expect that the guy’s goal was actually Fiona, and it was to make a deal with her. He even had drugs that could improve her strength.
“So, can you tell me more about him? I want to know more.”
