少妇工地上满足民工

She wasn\'t alone.

Just like Jake said, Elizabeth had friends with herself. Of course, the lion and the parrot were gone to stop anyone from approaching her, so only one was left to protect her.

It was a giant black bear that reminded Odin about Prince.

He lay on his back, and his big belly was used as a pillow for Elizabeth. In fact, it might have been better to say that she used the bear\'s belly as a bed. She curled up on him and slept with a blanket on.

Odin didn\'t have time to look at Elizabeth, though.

The bear opened his red eyes.

He stared down at him… menacingly!

Those eyes told Odin that if he made a noise and woke up Elizabeth, the bear would eat him down to the last bone and gnaw on it for a few days.

It was such a scary threat.

Odin, however, was a legendary existence. He may be a small puppy now, but he has overcome a lot in his short life as Jake\'s partner and experienced many highs and lows. He also recalled that his master and friends were left behind to deal with other beasts, risking their lives!

Failing his mission now was not an option!

Odin growled at the bear.

The beast widened his eyes in shock.

This little one didn\'t fear him at all!

Odin then sat down on his rear, arched his head back, and howled to his heart\'s content!

His howl boomed in the basement. A few stacks of bottles rattled as Odin prolonged his howl to wake Elizabeth and ensure his friends heard him! Jake also could see him on his minimap, meaning Odin\'s call should have been enough to bring everyone else here!

Odin just needed to survive a minute or two… or that was what he thought.

"Aye!?" Elizabeth sprang up!

She stood up and raised her hands in an amateur guard! Because it was such a sudden action, she bobbed on the bear\'s belly and looked like a kid having fun on a trampoline instead of someone in danger.

Elizabeth was only five years old.

She had an absurdly long hair for someone this young, though. She hated how everyone forced her to comb it into straight hair, so whenever she could, Elizabeth would untie her twin tails and let it scatter on her back with wilderness!

It was wild!

She was also wild!

It was difficult to see any wilderness on her adorable, round face.

Similarly, Elizabeth didn\'t carry herself like a royal offspring. She wore short pants with suspenders and a black shirt tucked in. Her appearance was much closer to prospering villagers than royals.

"A puppy!" Elizabeth spoke. Her voice also lacked any hint of wilderness. She spread her arms around as though telling everyone to step back! "Nothing be done! Nothing be done! Hear me, guards?!

You can\'t act! No act! No act! Okay?!"

After forcing some of the royal tone and language, Elizabeth hopped off her bear and calmly strolled toward the confused wolf.

She spoke like that before because there was a time when her bodyguards had killed one of the beasts she wanted to tame. The beast had hurt her. Elizabeth was ready for that.

She may be little and young, but she had a respect for animals and beasts that even some adults didn\'t have. She understood them better than humans, too.

Which was why she cried to her father and complained for weeks after that incident.

Now, she ensured that those hidden bodyguards wouldn\'t do anything harsh. Grandma Minerva had taught her that.

"Hello, puppy! I\'m Elizabeth! What\'s your name?" Elizabeth asked.

Odin woofed.

"Oh! Odin! I like this name!" Elizabeth replied, clapping her hands.

Odin was astounded to hear that. She really understood him so well without any bond between them! She also liked his name, which had lowered Odin\'s defenses. Elizabeth was also a little lady with a gentle smile and genuine love toward animals and beasts. Odin falling to her wasn\'t odd.

That was when Odin recalled Ender and others staying behind.

Could he really lower his guard right now and let this girl carry the talk?

Odin woofed.

He didn\'t allow Elizabeth to speak and told her to follow him! He didn\'t even give her time for a reply. He turned around and left the basement.

Elizabeth smiled. "He wants us to follow him! Let\'s go, Sio!"

Sio was the bear\'s name. He languorously stood up and followed his master\'s shadow.

When Elizabeth left the basement, she was surprised by a picture she didn\'t expect! A man stood before her with the puppy in his arm. He wasn\'t alone as her lion—Lew—was trying to tackle him down. The parrot—Puga—was also doing its best to prevent Jake from entering the basement.

Elizabeth\'s appearance made them give up on Jake and circle around her instead.

"Puga! You\'re bleeding! Why?!" Elizabeth screamed. She took out an ointment medicine from her inventory and applied it to her parrot before it could tell her what had happened.

Jake tactfully stood silent.

That was when Minerva approached them. "I see that you\'ve managed to find Elizabeth, Archer. You have my thanks."

"No need, Mrs. Minerva. It was a valuable experience. My Ender has evolved during his meeting with the parrot. I should also thank and apologize to Elizabeth for that."

Elizabeth curtly looked at Jake, \'Grandma lets him call her by her name! He\'s someone important!\'

Even Mary couldn\'t call Minerva by her name yet.

Elizabeth learned from Puga that their plan was to stall Jake and let her have a nap for a little more! It was their action that led it to get hurt.

The parrot didn\'t feel any ill intent toward Jake or Ender.

In fact, it could have seen that Jake was bleeding, too.

It was one-for-one, then.

Minerva said, "Elizabeth. Why didn\'t you let your maids comb your hair?"

"I don\'t want to! I don\'t need maids, either!" Elizabeth replied. "Grandma doesn\'t have any maids, either!"

"It is for I\'ve exceeded what it means to be a royal," Minerva said softly. "You\'re a newborn royal, so you must follow the standards. Very well, I will comb your hair."

Elizabeth twisted her adorable face.

Jake chimed in, "Mrs. Minerva, if I could… thank you. It\'s going to be just three of us and our companions, right? I don\'t think Elizabeth has to keep up with appearances."

Minerva saw through Jake\'s intent. He must have noticed that Elizabeth didn\'t like having her hair straight and combed. He spoke this way to build a good relationship with her and learn the secrets of her magic to become a different kind of beast tamer.

It was clever for a player.

"Official though our lessons may be, there are only three of us and your companions. I\'ll let it slide for today," Minerva said, turning around.

Elizabeth widened her eyes in shock.

She looked at smiling Jake and reciprocated his smile. "Thank you!"

"It\'s nothing," Jake sent a thumbs-up before following Mrs. Minerva\'s shadow.

Their magic lesson would soon begin.

"We shall first travel to a special land," Minerva said.

"A special land?" Jake asked.

"Indeed, Asta Bow\'s region," Minerva replied.
