Within a week, under the effects of the elf's potion, Muriel's dead muscles immediately returned to normal.
Although her physical strength was not enough, she was already able to ride a pony with Rollin on the streets.
The days following behind him were very happy. Muriel quickly felt the warmth of family from Rollin.
"Rollin, I want to eat that candy!"
"Okay! I'll go buy it for you now."
"This dress is so beautiful!"
Rollin bought it for her without saying a word.
It was already noon when they returned to the forging workshop. After Aurelia Dupont lost his daughter, he did not experience too much family affection.
Since Rollin brought Muriel back, Aurelia Dupont once again experienced the joy of family.
He treated Muriel much better than Rollin did. He immediately settled down Muriel's identity and even took her in as his adopted daughter.
Because Aurelia Dupont was kind to Rollin, Muriel naturally became closer to him.
"Grandpa! Grandpa! Look, I bought new clothes today."
Dupont immediately walked over and carried Muriel down from the pony.
"Let Grandpa see what delicious things you bought today!"
As they spoke, the two of them slipped away.
This made Rollin let out a sigh of relief. Ever since Muriel followed his Grandfather, Rollin had more time to learn forging.
During this period of time, Rollin was already able to easily forge thirty-two layers of folding iron.
He also forged very high-level weapons and equipment.
This surprised his master, Dupont.
So he let Rollin stabilize his strength first before entering the next stage.
Rollin was very tenacious. He completed one or two rounds every day. As long as there was nothing to do, the furnace in the forging workshop would never go out.
That afternoon, Rollin stopped his work and was ready to drink some water.
At this moment, Michelle appeared behind him and handed him a cup of tea unique to the elf race.
Rollin immediately reminded her, "If you come out like this, people will see through you!"
Michelle pointed at the Third Elder behind her. Rollin saw that he was holding a lot of equipment that was dressed up like Qiao Zhuang.
"This way! Be careful."
Michelle immediately had the space to be alone with Rollin. She immediately sent the Third Elder out of the door.
Then, she sat on a bench with Rollin.
Michelle knew that she did not have much time to spend with Rollin. It was very likely that she would have to follow her mother back to the Elves Forest in the next few days.
Therefore, she took advantage of this short period of time and decided to leave a beautiful memory with Rollin.
While doing this, Michelle leaned on Rollin's shoulder and grabbed his hand.
"Rollin, my mother will come to pick me up soon. I'm sorry for keeping it from you for such a long time!"
Upon hearing this, Rollin smiled and said, "There's nothing you can do about it. You've experienced too much in the past few years."
"It's only right to be vigilant against humans!"
The two of them sat in silence for a moment, and Michelle immediately kissed Rollin.
Seeing the girl like this, Rollin did not reject her and let her do whatever she wanted.
But soon, Michelle began to cry. The dirty memories of the past three years immediately appeared in her mind.
"Will you despise me for being dirty?"
Rollin used his hand to wipe the tears from the corner of Michelle's eyes. Then, he whispered into her ear, "Of course not! You only encountered these things because of others. It's not because you wanted to do these things in the first place!"
"So no matter what, this is all their fault. You're still yourself."
After hearing Rollin's words, she immediately burst into tears.
When the Third Elder outside heard Rollin's words, he immediately used magic to block out all the sound in this area.
From this time on, the Third Elder's understanding of Rollin had undergone a huge change.
He did not expect that such a young child could actually see through these things so thoroughly.
Thus, the Third Elder sincerely wished that Rollin and Michelle could become husband and wife!
However, this was only the Third Elder's thoughts, because after Michelle returned, she was very likely to become the candidate for the Empress.
The dangerous road between them had only just begun.
It was not until evening that Michelle returned to normal. She put on a disguise and reluctantly followed the Third Elder back to the tavern.
After Michelle left, Rollin could not help but have a headache. His relationship with Muriel was already complicated enough, and now there was another Michelle.
God knew what would happen in the future!
Shaking his head, he immediately stood up and picked up his heavy hammer to continue hammering the semi-finished product in his hand.
At night, all the streets of the Melville Empire became tense.
The loose patrols immediately went into a state of alert.
From the soldiers on the side of the road, Rollin learned some information.
'A big shot from a certain country is coming to the Melville Empire!'
After hearing this news, Rollin knew what had happened. It was most likely that Michelle's mother had already arrived in the Empire.
Rollin shook his head and found a small shop to sit in for a meal.
The people in the small shop soon began to talk.
"Did you know? The Queen of the Elves Forest came to the Melville Empire today!"
"Really? I heard that the Queen is a very beautiful woman!" As he spoke, he wiped the transparent liquid at the corner of his mouth.
When the people at the side saw this scene, they immediately smacked his head with their hands.
"Do you want to die? If the guards find out, you'll be sent to the slums tonight to become food ingredients!"
"I'm really sorry. I was just thinking about it. This good thing is never my turn!"
Seeing this person who did not know what was going on, the customer could only shake his head helplessly.
Rollin quickly finished his lunch and went to the tavern.
However, he was a step too late. Michelle had already gone to meet up with the Third Elder and the Elven Empress.
Hall stood at the bar counter and waved at Rollin.
"Kid, why are you only here now!"
In order to cover up his embarrassment, Rollin scratched his head and explained, "Today, the forging task was just completed. When I went to eat, I suddenly heard this news and dared to come over."
He did not reveal the matter of meeting with Michelle during the day.
"Have you helped me ask about Muriel?"
"Muriel is recovering very well now. I'll try to ask her during this period of time!"
"Then I'll thank you in advance! After all, I don't have any hope now."
Not seeing Michelle again, Rollin returned to his residence in disappointment. He lay on the bed and quietly looked at the ceiling.
Now he was more relaxed.
Muriel had been living in his house ever since she was accepted as a granddaughter by his Master, which gave Rollin some space.
