Chapter 963 The Pitiful Master

Sue said, "That's all I know about Mr. Wus's story."

Of course, she concealed extremely dangerous world-class secrets about the Golden Bee Sybil, the Great Symphony Phoebus, and the water dragon prince Scylla, who was in charge of guarding the sinner named Egolia...

Although Sue's story concealed many secrets and details, the deeds of Mr. Us—the original Shadow Hunter—the Golden Hunter Cassiopeia still shocked everyone present.

Navia: "I never imagined that so much danger and horror were hidden beneath the peaceful and tranquil surface of Petrique Town!"

Clarind: "A thousand years of secret protection... Mr. Cassiodo, truly worthy of the name of the Golden Hunter."

Linni: "It turns out that the Travelers' team had already saved Fontaine once before they officially arrived in Fontaine."

Funina recalled the sad, dejected girl in her dream, whose silver armor was covered in sticky blood scabs.

"Cassiodor's lover...it turns out to be...Irie?"

The other three Fengdan people present were all shocked. "What?!"

Su was startled by their sudden loud voice, "Why are you so surprised!"

The three Fontainebleau students, who had been loudly rebuked by Su, gestured and explained, "Well... these two idols, who we never imagined would have a personal relationship, are actually... a couple or something..."

Moreover, the legends and impressions these two idols left on the world portray them as beings of immense martial prowess, unwavering dedication to their careers, devoid of personal relationships, and ultimately destined to die alone.

Clarinde knew a little more: "In fact, many Shadow Hunters have speculated that the Golden Hunter, who has a long lifespan and an ageless face, is actually a remnant of the Remurian remnants who abandoned the darkness and chose justice and protection."

It turned out that this guess was true.

"But because of this, I subconsciously assumed that the two idols were enemies, and I never thought that the Golden Hunter Cassiopeia and the Pure Water Knight Irie were actually... lovers."

Su: "Huh? They are lovers, that's true, but they are also enemies."

Sue recounted how Cassiopeia disguised himself to persuade Iriye, only to be beheaded by Iriye with a single sword stroke.

Navia rubbed her arms. "Is this what a love story between two strong people from opposing camps looks like...? That's too hardcore!"

Paimon: "When Mr. Us talked about this, his eyes were so gentle and nostalgic, he wasn't angry at all."

Su curled her lip and said sarcastically, "The abnormal love of a seasoned masochist."

Furina: "Irie... she has never been freed from the guilt and remorse of killing her lover."

Hidden beneath the decisiveness and cold-bloodedness is a heart that, despite being scarred, still insists on trying to save others.

Upon noticing that Funina was sad, Sue decisively spoke in plain language.

Even though the tides of fate separate them and set them apart, they will eventually reunite and become one again amidst the myriad waters.

So don't be sad, Funina!

Feeling the comfort Sue was offering, Funina, her eyes slightly reddening, took the girl's hand and said, "Mmm!"

Navia changed the subject, "Clorind, everything you know about the Golden Hunter Cassiodoro came from your teacher, and it's all true, so Lady Petronilla really is..."

“That’s right, she was a genuine Shadowhunter.” Clarind said with a nostalgic look.

"Wait! Could it be some sad story from the past?" Su was very wary.

She doesn't like reading light novels or fairy tales with bad endings!

Don't even think about upsetting Funina again after you've just cheered her up!

“Sad past events… I don’t think so.” Seeing the girl’s relaxed expression, and having received permission, Clarin continued, “I’ve lived with my master since I can remember.”

“My master told me that I was saved by her from bad people, and my biological parents had left me before that.”

"Master is a very interesting person, but... he doesn't know how to take care of children."

Clarind said her first toy was a short sword, which her master took from his waist and gave to her to pass the time because he thought she was noisy.

"Wait! Give a child a real sword? Are you serious? That's way too dangerous!" Frynn looked at Clorind's gloved hands. "Did you hurt your hand?"

Clarin nodded indifferently, "Of course, my palm was cut and bled a lot. But I also learned the correct way to hold a knife from my master."

Linnie: "Excuse me, Miss Claurind, how old were you back then?"

Claude thought for a moment, "Three years old, maybe."

Linni made a face showing signs of toothache.

Well, even in the Hearth House, which is known for its strictness and cruelty, training is only started after the age of 7!

Seeing something in Furina and Linnie's expressions, Clarinde tried to cover for her master, saying, "My master isn't very good at taking care of children."

Furina was speechless and helpless. "This is beyond just being unable to take care of things!"

Clarinde's eyes darted around.

Although she didn't think there was anything wrong with her master's actions, after living in Fontainebleau for many years, she also knew that what was abnormal was actually her and her master.

Clarinde decided to share some childhood anecdotes, "My first pet was a baby rock dragon lizard, which my master specially caught for me from Liyue."

Su's eyes lit up!

"Excellent taste! Clarinde, your master has very good taste!"

The baby rock dragons, brimming with a stubborn spirit, are both cool and adorable!

She had wanted to raise a baby rock dragon for a while!

However, Kong and Paimon suspected that it would pierce through the Dust Song Pot, so they refused.

Later, she met Earl Tuotuo, and even the most irritable rock dragons would become docile in their presence.

But if they were too obedient, she would find it boring, so she never got to raise one.

Although Sue admired Clarinde's mentor, Frynn still thought she was extremely outrageous!

"Su is one thing, but giving a child a dragon lizard as a pet?! Are you serious?!"

Navia was also curious, "How old were you when this happened, Clarinde?"

Clarin said calmly, "Five years old."

Clarinde was not only calm, but also fondly remembered that time.

“I still remember my master’s original words: “You should get along well. If you’re really not convinced, then fight. The loser will become the winner’s pet.”

"………………" Funina's silence was deafening, but curiosity ultimately triumphed over heartache. "You… won?"

Su was also very curious.

It's an incredible feat for a five-year-old to defeat a wild boar.

If Clarinde could defeat the dragon lizard, she would be an absolute genius, one in a million.

Clarinde said decisively, "We lost."

Paimon was both embarrassed and curious, "So...you really became the dragon lizard's...pet?"

Clarinde felt there was nothing wrong with saying or not saying anything.

“I did, but only for a week. I beat it after a week, and we’ve had a good relationship ever since.”

Claude said that dragon lizards don't have the concept of pets at all; fighting is how they establish dominance.

The winner becomes the boss, and the loser becomes the underling. The underling will be ordered around and taken care of.

"It shared some of my crystals with me, and when it found that I couldn't chew them, it looked at me with both disdain and worry."

"It seems that he took his master's strict training as bullying, and angrily bumped into his master, causing him to fall over and stay home to rest for a whole day."

Clorind's eyes filled with a smile when she spoke of her childhood "brothers".

Su listened with a look of amazement in her eyes.

A loyal and affectionate baby rock dragon!

It must be because their Earl Tuotuo set a good example!

"Where's the dragon? Let us see it!" Su pulled out two custom-made dragon scale brushes and a bag of gemstones. "I have a gift for you!"

Although she didn't want to disappoint the girl, Clarind told the truth.

"It didn't adapt well to the watery environment of Fontaine, so my master and I sent it back to Liyue. It's probably happily bumping into people on some mountaintop now."

"Oh." Su coldly withdrew the gift.
