Positive little sun, magical girl, I am awesome

Chapter 252 Dragon Instinct

"Oh, that's really frustrating..."

After lunch, Lilith and Catherine saw Ke Luo off and came to the warehouse on the third floor underground of the winery. While Catherine was busy counting the seeds, Lilith stood at the door of the warehouse, sighing again and again.

"I thought I had done a good thing and helped classmates in need, but I didn't expect that I was just making things easier for others." Lilith felt upset when she thought about Lucas, who was still running around all day to take care of his mother, and Ke Luo, who knew nothing about business.

"...Maybe that was their own choice, Lilith." Catherine was busy with her back to Lilith. Thinking of Miss Ke Luo's appearance just now, her tone was full of helplessness.

"I know you admire ambitious girls like Margaret." Lilith was picking at the bricks at the door of the warehouse out of boredom, "But I believe that some people just have no choice. They are not born that way."

"They have been homeless and uneducated since childhood, so they don't know how to make choices. Especially Sister Ke Luo, she is so beautiful..." Lilith felt dazed when she thought of that face.

"I can imagine what it's like to be around her. She won't be asked to strive for progress, but will only be encouraged to fall downwards to gain happiness." Lilith said bitterly, "In such a life, she would naturally think that being able to survive and get married in peace is already a great life."

Catherine pursed her lips when she mentioned the experience of the sea people, but did not refute.

"So!" Lilith suddenly took a deep breath and clapped her hands, "What they need more is a stable living environment and basic education, or even advanced education! Speaking of which, Ozler has had a good harvest for several years now, so it should be almost recovered, right? When do you plan to rebuild the homes of the sea people?"

Catherine's hand, reaching for the bag of seeds, froze in mid-air.

The warehouse suddenly became quiet.

"That's...that's a huge project. It takes time to plan it well." Catherine said vaguely, with her back to Lilith.

"It still takes time? Well, I'm afraid that by the time you have time, most of the sea people outside will be dead." Lilith pouted in dissatisfaction and began to think. Maybe she could find a vacation to go to Ozler and see if she could help come up with a solution. There is strength in numbers!

"Okay, I've checked, and none of these seeds have gotten damp." Catherine finally turned around and brought the topic back to their purpose today.

"Of course, I told you so!" Lilith was very proud when she heard that. Her thoughts were immediately drawn away. She stepped on the red bricks on the ground and said, "This is the fire stone mined by the dwarves from near the volcano. It will continue to emit weak heat and has a drying effect. I spent a lot of money on it!"

"Yeah." Catherine nodded, "That's great, let's go."

"Wait for me a moment." Lilith led her down the stairs to the next floor and opened a heavy lock. "Bella asked me to collect this month's money and put it in the warehouse."

She opened the door of the vault and turned on the lighting spell. Catherine was immediately blinded by the bright golden light inside.

"Ah - my baby!" Lilith pounced on it intoxicatedly, immersed in a sea of gold coins, and even paddled a few times like swimming. It turned out that this thing brought the strongest sense of security.

Catherine was relieved that she was no longer interested in Ozler, but she couldn't help laughing, "You are a noble lady after all, at least pretend to be indifferent to money--"

"Ms. Lilith! Why are you like this again?!" Bella saw that the two of them had not come back for a long time, so she followed them down worriedly. Then she saw Lilith's silly look, and hurried over to pull her up.

"I've wanted to do this for a long time, don't stop me." Lilith rolled over and went deeper into the mountain of gold coins. Now Bella couldn't reach her. Disdain? She couldn't pretend at all! This kind of experience, she didn't even dare to think about it in her previous life!

"You, please come out soon after you put down the payment!" Bella was so anxious that she almost stuttered, "I heard that there are descendants of dragons hiding near Goletia. Don't dragons love to rob human treasures the most? We must hide well--"

"What?!" Lilith finally raised her head from her obsession with the gold coins and said in unison with Catherine.

"Where, where did the news come from?" Lilith asked stutteringly.

"The guests in the tavern, the workers in the workshop, the children running around in the city." Bella blinked innocently. "Everyone says that."

"The dwarf craftsman shop next door to us has even put up a pre-order form, claiming that they have the ability to soften and process dragon scales." Bella continued chattering.

"Ms. Bella, please go ahead and do your work. I will make sure Lilith locks the door." Catherine spoke first, asking Bella to go back first, and then looked at Lilith who was lying stupidly on the pile of gold coins.

"I'll ask Margaret to find out the source of the news. You - you come down first!"

"I think I can set my heart anchor here. There is no place that feels safer than here—" Lilith murmured as she picked up a handful of gold coins.

"...Is this what you are thinking about!?" Catherine rubbed her head in pain, "If people knew that you were the Dragonborn..." She shuddered. She felt cold all over when she thought that Lilith might be skinned alive.

"Golatia will keep me safe." Lilith had great trust in the school. She lay on the gold intoxicatedly and took another deep breath. "Besides, the potion that causes atavism is gone. Who can tell that I am different from others?"

"..."

Catherine looked at Lilith who was obsessed with sticking gold coins, and was hesitant to speak - it's quite obvious that you are now dominated by dragon instincts.

"Don't worry, because I will become stronger!" Lilith looked indifferent, lying sideways with her head propped up to comfort Catherine who looked worried.

"I trained so hard before just to beat that annoying Daniel. Now, I will continue to get stronger, whether it's magic or swordsmanship, so that those who covet the dragon's blood will never have the courage to challenge me." Lilith was quite happy. She had been a little slack in her mentality, and now this new goal has come true, right?

Catherine looked up at the girl who was leisurely and contented in the golden light. Her golden hair almost merged with the gold coins beneath her. The radiance reflected by the gold coins made her look more divine than a real person, like a fairy in a painting, which shocked Catherine.

"Besides, don't we still have you?" The fairy in the painting smiled at her, showing some flattery. "You have to protect me too!"

Catherine sighed, her divinity gone.
