Chapter 1270: Everstone

Chapter 1270: Everstone



Aquarina started to drink the warm tea, feeling the rest of her body warm up quickly, and after finishing her two sandwiches packed with roasted wyvern meat, she moved to eating the donuts. Her appetite had finally come back, before she had barely eaten, but now she was eating everything with a lot more energy.

"Hmm, these donuts are good, they're filled with lots of cream-" she said while munching on them. "But they can't beat Sylphy's cream puffs~"

"Haha, we know, we've tasted those before, they're truly amazing," her mother nodded. "Anyways, dear, do you have any more questions? I would rather give you as much info as possible, so you don't act awkwardly with the people there."

"Erm, okay, are they all... Um, desert elves and amazonian mixes? I had no idea there were desert elves to begin with..." said Aquarina. "Does it mean they're long lived?"

"Yes, at the beginning they were two separate tribes that lived together to survive the harshness of the Dry Steppes, but over time they started mixing," nodded her father. "I don't know how long ago that was, but thousands of years, tens, if not hundreds."

"T-That's a while ago..." Aquarina sighed.

"Well, you'll see how they are, there's very little difference from our own tribe, don't worry," smiled her mother.

"Do these people go for any name?" Aquarina wondered. "Like their tribe?"

"They were Stone Carvers and Desert Elves, their village is Everstone, and no, I don't think they go for any name other than Everstonian."

"Huh, I guess they're unique enough to call themselves after their own village..." Aquarina said. "Wait, what about the inheritance? You've told me a couple of things before, but I barely know much either..."

"You'll learn more in the village," her mother said. "But I can at least tell you that the inheritance is of the first ever Hero of Stone in history, he was the first man to carry this title. Some say he had the blood of giants. His name was Bjorn, the Hero of Stone, or as others called him, the Barbarian King. He was the one that created several of the cultivation techniques I use, and that all my predecessors used too. This village was his home, or well, it formed thanks to him. He married a desert elf woman, and although he had long ago passed away, his descendants, with desert elf bloodline, lived for much longer, there are still a few of them alive right now."

"Oh..." Aquarina muttered. "I guess that village is really important then, huh..."

Unlike Aquarina who would have gasped in surprise, Aquarina had a much different personality, she was often much cold headed and didn't overreact like her cute girlfriend would do.

"Will I learn stuff from them then?" wondered Aquarina.

Her mother called her, as Aquarina quickly followed her and her father.

The airship had already landed, as the gates opened and metallic stairs slowly unfolded, reaching the rocky and arid floor beneath.

"Ah, it's pretty hot around here, huh?"

It was indeed very hot, she walked downstairs, looking around her surroundings, as she was greeted by the large group of people.

The hot, bright sun, the arid environment, the many different sceneries she would have never seen before if she hadn't dared coming here, it was all so new and refreshing.

Yet at the same time, a bit scary...

She was finally stepping out from her comfort zone completely and exploring what the world had prepared for her.

Aquarina felt slightly doubtful deep down, but it wasn't as if she had any option than to step forward now.

Her mother held her hand, forcing her to walk towards there after noticing her daughter had frozen up a bit.

"Relax, it's fine. It'll be okay," she said, smiling at her daughter.

Aquarian felt embarrassed of being treated as a baby even though she was already fifteen, and as she noticed the Everstone people glared at them, she quickly let go of her mother's hand, she didn't want to be mocked for being a "mama's girl" or something.

Amazonian people were good hearted but rough, their personalities had no filters, and they would say anything they thought at the moment, so they could sometimes be cruel without ever having the intention to do so.

This is why she was a bit afraid...

However.

"So this is your baby girl, Nepheline?! Hahaha! She's so cuteeee!"

A giantess walked in, grabbing Aquarina and lifting her off the ground!
