Chapter 65: Chapter 65

Translator: Sigma Editor: Sigma

Even for adventurers, the Wild Marsh of Ancient Woods was the most dangerous place on the whole continent.

Here, there were many scary beasts and monsters, as well as countless snakes and poisonous insects. In addition, the natural environment here was truly terrible. Solid, dry ground was a rare sight. Small puddles covered with duckweed or algae were everywhere, and making your way through them was virtually impossible. Even an advanced adventurer like Ray was not sure what he would step into, a comparatively solid yet muddy patch of ground, or a deep mud pit.

Moreover, the swampy air was very humid. Shrubs and vines grew everywhere, as well as numerous drooping tree branches that intertwined with each other. When Ray was walking, he had to cut down these branches with his ax to clear a path.

Often times, the unpleasant surprise of snakes or beasts waited behind these branches. More than once, when Ray cut off a branch, a viper slithered out, ready to attack.

Luckily, Ray was strong and clever, and he'd received many warnings from other adventurers. From the moment he set foot in the marsh, he had been very careful and alert, so he managed to stay out of harm's way.

The branches were a real nuisance and as a result, Ray's progress was slow, especially when he came close to the brink of the swamp where the soil was a bit harder. There it was more difficult for him to proceed.

Ray easily overcame most of these obstacles, but he didn't know how to react to the dangers hidden under the mud. Ray was indeed powerful, but no matter how powerful he was, he had to stand on solid ground. One minute, taking a wary step, he'd step on mud mixed with some flexible weeds, but then with his next step, the mud and weeds would break and he'd be stuck in a mud pit.

Since the trees here were very dense, the canopy overhead blocked the sunlight, so even at midday, it was rather dim. Otherwise, it was completely dark, and Ray couldn't see anything at all.

After Ray had gotten stuck in a mud pit a few times, Sui Xiong used a spell to make an invisible floating plate one meter off the ground and asked Ray to stand on it. This floating plate spell was a simple, entry-level bit of magic, and it could bear things that weren't too heavy. For new and young wizards, this was an easy spell to practice. It allowed them to cross muddy, rough roads or perhaps easily transport their luggage. The spell could last quite some time; even a wizard like Palin could make it last for four to five hours, and as for Sui Xiong…

Normally, a spell could last at least a day, and when a wizard had slept enough, he could practice the same spell again. So basically, the duration of a spell should be one day. Most of the time, to make a spell last the whole day, a wizard had to practice the skill called "prolonging the time of a spell", which would keep the spell active the entire day. .

But Sui Xiong could easily make the floating plate spell last for over a day. When Steele asked how long this spell could last, to find out its exact duration, Sui Xiong created another floating spell. Surprisingly, this floating plate didn't disappear until the third day's morning, and no one even realized it had disappeared. When they finally noticed it was gone, it was already night.

"That is really very impressive!" Steele praised him. "Your Majesty, you are a real god! I have never heard of a wizard that can make a spell last for this long without the help of other spells!"

Ray was counting how long the spell had lasted in his mind, and was also very impressed by its duration. I never thought the jellyfish that I wore as a hat was such a powerful wizard!

Ray and Steele were not satisfied with their inexact measurement of the spell's length, so Sui Xiong practiced another spell and decided to count the exact time, even if it meant that he had to stay up all night.

"Yes, I am also very curious about how long this spell will last," Ray said.

"Me too!"

However, things never happen exactly according to plan. The next day, they ran into some unexpected issues.

After lunch, they set off. Because of the King of Sex and Lust, Sui Xiong now had a different view on being apotheosized. So he focused on reading the materials from the God of Redemption, comparing the contents he read with what he'd learned about the King of Sex and Lust, trying to figure something out.

He was focused on reading, so he did not realize something was staring at Ray in a very hostile way. In fact, he was not to blame for his carelessness this time, since there was no need for him to be at full attention after Ray and Steele had gotten used to the environment in the dense forest.

Steele, a holy spirit, was flying high above. She could even change between her virtual and physical forms at her will. From time to time, she would change into virtual form, and the dense branches, vines, snakes and ferocious beasts could no longer hurt her. She could easily glide through the forest in the marsh and see if there was any danger awaiting them up ahead. If there was, she would come back and report to Sui Xiong.

Ray, who was riding the floating plate, no longer worried whether he would get stuck in a mud pit. Since he was also very good at riding a horse, he adapted quickly to riding the floating plate. While proceeding, he used his ax to cut down any vines or branches impeding his path. Occasionally, some snakes or poisonous insects would attack him, but he managed to get rid of them.

Apart from the inherent dangers and the dimness, the severe environment of the marsh was already not a big deal for him anymore.

Then, right at this moment, something happened!

Steele was flying above the canopy to find a perfect spot to camp—in a place like this, it was always wise to scout ahead for a campsite, even if it was only midday. Ray was still making his way on the floating plate, cutting down branches so he could continue, and everything looked perfectly normal.

However, as he cut off a vine the size of his arm, from the muddy water nearby, a huge black figure rushed towards him and attacked. Ray wasn't prepared for this at all. He instantly retaliated with his ax and cut the black figure. But the sharp ax was useless, since this black figure was smooth, soft and pliable.

Still, this strike had an effect: the black figure changed its direction and brushed past Ray. He immediately pulled out his sword.

This sword was not only well-made but was also sharpened by enchantments from advanced wizards. Clearly, this sword was high-quality, even among all other magical weapons. With his sword in hand, Ray wasn't afraid of anything, not even a huge dragon. This black figure couldn't be stronger than a dragon, right?

Ray shouted and jumped, but he immediately sensed that he was in great danger, so he jumped backwards instead.

The black figure skimmed over him again, and at the same time, a strong wind with the stinking smell of rotten fish blew toward him. He felt as if a huge tree had fallen or a mountain had collapsed in front of him. In fact, Ray had only brushed the black figure, but the floating plate shattered into pieces. The pieces fell into the muddy water, which rose all around Ray as high as a wall on each side.

Ray was falling and there was no solid ground for him to stand on, but he wasn't afraid. He was so angry that his eyes grew wide. Holding his long sword and seeing that he was about to be bumped into the muddy wall of water, he cut the water with his sword. Immediately he heard the sound of an ax cutting a tree.

He'd managed to make a crack in the water wall, and before he could even take a breath, a large, fierce mouth was approaching him.

At this moment, Ray finally saw what this black figure really was: a huge, terrifying snake. Its body was flat and even wider than he was tall, and it looked to be at least ten meters long. Each of its gray scales was larger than his palm. It had a triangular head, with red, scary eyes and a mouth so big that it seemed like it could devour an ox in one bite. At the same time, the rotten fish smell was coming from its mouth, which made Ray feel dizzy. Ray couldn't see its teeth and tongue, which made him even more terrified.

"What in god's name is this!" he cursed, pulling out a long spear and stabbing the snake.

Ray was good with both spear and a sword, so he landed a direct hit, right on the inside of the snake's mouth. Since there were no scales in its mouth, the spear did its job, and he successfully saved himself from being eaten.

But for the snake, this hit wasn't fatal at all. In fact, the snake didn't even feel any pain. Instead it just backed away and began to coil up.

As it coiled itself, its head began to shake, and it stuck out its tongue from time to time, just like a normal snake. The only difference was that this snake was as big as a small hill.

Ray turned over and steadied himself on a thick branch, with a spear in his left hand and a sword in his right.

If he were honest with himself, even Ray wasn't so sure he could defeat this snake. He was quite confident with his kung fu, but he had never fought a snake and he didn't know how to approach this battle.

He'd never had time before to learn this from someone else—and besides, who in the world could teach him how to fight a snake anyways? All he could do now was try his best to defeat this awful creature.

Luckily, he had a powerful backup, since he knew Steele would come back soon.

If things get out of control, I can just throw the jellyfish into its mouth…and it'll definitely be stuffed to death then!

With this plan in mind, Ray raised his sword and spear and prepared to fight.

In the thick woods, disorderly sounds could be constantly heard.

One moment it was the sound of trees being broken, and the next, it was the the collision of gold and iron. Then it was a fierce crash, followed by the sound of flowing water.

In the dim light, there were three figures, one big and two small, busy fighting. The big one was naturally the horrible serpent, while the small ones were Ray and Steele.

Ray was in charge of the fight, while Steele only assisted him.

Steele hurried back immediately after sensing there was a fight beneath her, but she struggled to help. She soon found out that with her lack of fighting skills, not only was she unable to offer help in the battle between Ray and the huge serpent, but she also was only getting in the way.

So she stepped aside and kept a relatively safe distance, using her heaven-sent skill of casting spells to assist Ray.

As a semi-holy spirit who had failed to complete the transformation, she was able to make use of many heaven-sent spellcasting skills. Although there were few that could be used for direct assaults, she was able to assist Ray with many of them. Coincidentally, what she needed right now was the Spell of Assistance.

Assisted by Steele's spells, Ray became spirited and his fighting ability increased tremendously. He rejected the awakened Sui Xiong's proposal of help and wielded his spear and sword as if they'd become two beams of white light, so the battle was quite even.

Over time, Ray gradually gained the upper hand.

He found that although this huge serpent had a huge body, amazing strength, and stunning defensive capacity, it wasn't particularly clever.

This lack of fighting intelligence meant that the snake's combat skills were poor. With his rich experience accumulated from many battles, Ray gradually understood the fighting habits of this serpent. When the rhythm of the fight completely fell into his control, there was no longer any suspense as to the outcome of this battle.

Even so, killing a giant snake was a very difficult thing. Ray struggled for a long time and finally killed the huge serpent as twilight approached.

With a final cry, the huge serpent slumped to the ground and finally ceased moving. By this time, Ray was also exhausted and could barely stand. Even Steele, who had only assisted him by casting spells, was also quite fatigued. She flapped her wings feebly and could not fly anymore.

"Thank you," Sui Xiong said as he cast a spell that froze the skeleton of the serpent together with its blood, preserving its precious materials as much as possible. This was the loot that Ray and Steele gained after fighting for an entire afternoon. It might not be priceless, but it was certainly very rare.

"How to deal with this stuff?" he asked, "How about we save it in the storage space that I made and sell it after we reach the Commonwealth of Mifata?"

"Deal with it as you wish," Ray said faintly. "I have to find a place to camp because I feel as if every bone in my body is going to fall apart."

"Me too," said Steele, finally recovering a bit strength after resting for awhile. She flapped her wings and began to fly. "There is a rocky hill up ahead. Although it isn't high, it is barren and not occupied by any beasts. It is the best place for us to camp.

Hearing that they could finally sleep on solid ground, the already exhausted Ray again became spirited. He used his long spear as a cane and climbed up on another floating disk (the one that Sui Xiong originally used to test the duration of his spell). Because it had been kept far away from the battle, it was not destroyed in the fight, and now it came in handy once again.

"It's good to take a rest!" Steele sighed, flying slowly in the air and leading the way.

Fortunately, the place was not far. It took them about ten minutes to arrive at the barren rocky hill.

The rocks in this hill were quite hard, and the mountaintop was very smooth, making it a good campsite. However, everyone's current state made camping in the wild again very unattractive, so Sui Xiong searched in his documents, found a spell for shelter that was commonly used by travelers, and cast this spell.

From nothing, this spell could create a room with beds, fireplaces, and simple toiletries. For travelers away from home, it was indeed a very convenient spell.

But the disadvantage of this spell was also obvious. First of all, it was a made-up place, and it was difficult to get an adequate night's rest by sleeping in it. Also because this was an isolated place, people couldn't effectively pray here. This meant that neither mages nor priests could recover their abilities to cast spells by resting in the shelter.

If this problem was only secondary, then the main problem was truly terrible. In the shelter, no one could keep watch of their surroundings outside.

And although the house could keep out wind and rain, this seemingly solid house offered basically no defense at all. It could be damaged by even just a few wolves.

What did this mean? It meant that resting in the shelter made you completely defenseless! Was there even a difference between resting in the wild without proper defenses and asking for death?

So unless it was a last resort, adventurers would not use this spell for shelter. Even if they had to use it, they would make arrangements so that people kept watch outside in turns. This way they avoided being caught defenseless by monsters or enemies.

Of course, there were also advanced spells that could solve these problems. For example, a man named Sacred Dwelling could build a stone room with considerable defenses and people could pray therein.

However, that was something exclusively owned by gods whose positions were about traveling. Except for priests who were authorized by them, even Sui Xiong, also a god, couldn't cast that spell.

There was a mage's spell called Mage's Villa, which not only provided a very high level of accommodation and food but also had a few magic statues responsible for guarding. There were even maids.

However, that spell was so subtle that even the God of Redemption only knew of its existence and knew nothing of its principles. Perhaps among the deities, no one knew how to cast it…

"I'll keep watch tonight, and you guys can sleep well," Sui Xiong said to Ray and Steele, who were still unable to recover their spirit. "Rest assured and sleep well because I will keep us safe."

With a god keeping vigil, of course, it was extremely safe. Ray and Steele, though somewhat embarrassed, ended up accepting his kindness and entered the room for rest, weary with fatigue.

The two of them took a shower simply, ate and drank, and fell onto the bed and immediately went to sleep. They were really tired.

Sui Xiong, while guarding them outside, changed into a huge floating jellyfish even larger than the shelter. He hovered in the sky over the room, watching carefully.

He let out a sigh and then dispersed some of his floating weight in all directions. Then he only heard the sound of turmoil without knowing how many monsters, big or small, fled quickly and didn't dare to stay nearby.

After dispersing anything that could threaten Ray and Steele, he could rest assured and immersed himself in his studies again.

This time his research objective was that serpent. This serpent had a low IQ and no ability to cast spells. It seemed that it was just an ordinary low-level poisonous snake. It was unknown how it had grown to such a big size.

If it had grown to such a size, how long had it lived?

All things on earth had life, and snakes were no exception. This world did not seem to have legends about things like turning into elves or demons, but any creature that could be born and grow was either strong enough to combat the passage of time or had noble blood and exceptional talent.

However, this serpent was neither strong enough nor had any noble blood, so what was the secret of its longevity? Sui Xiong was very curious about this.

He was not a heartless absentee leader. He also wanted to contribute more to the construction of the church and the holy places —he disagreed with the custom that required believers to work hard while gods sat idly and enjoyed the fruits of their labor.

After some consideration, he felt he was a senior intellectual who deserved to contribute his wisdom and effort to his religion. It was just…how to contribute with his intelligence? He had not yet found a clue.

The planned holy place would be built in the frigid northern part of the country. Even if it could depend on his strength to make farmlands, it would be self-sufficient at most. It was unrealistic to expect to sell surplus grains. It would be excessively cruel to ask the followers to make money by mining, logging, and quarrying in an extremely cold place. Manufacturing and the like were unlikely industries to get rich from in a place with such inconvenient transportation. As for the service industry… He-he…Drop it…Why even mention this boring joke!

If he wanted to arrange for the holy place to have an industry that could support his believers and provided extra money to run the church, he had to take into account the following points: First, the work involved in the industry had better not be outside, or people would freeze to death; second, it was better that the industry didn't use too many raw materials, or either collection or acquisition would be unreliable; third, it would be best if this industry was as exclusive as possible, so that even if someone was jealous they couldn't copy or mock it…These were what Sui Xiong thought of for now, and the rest would be supplemented later.

But with these three ideas, he could only frown because he couldn't think of any other reliable ideas. Although he was powerful and had learned many things from both the gods and his original world of advanced science and technology, it was still too hard to find a suitable industry based on these requirements!

After all, before coming to this world, he was just an art student good at painting, rather than an engineering student familiar with a variety of materials, various kinds of mechanical drawing, and a variety of mechanical processes!

But now, he had inspiration.

Health and longevity were clearly best welcomed by the rich in this world. Although in this world people could go to the Holy Kingdom after death, the threshold for entering the kingdom was extremely high. Most rich people believed that they would not find a kingdom willing to accept them. And they certainly didn't want to go obediently to the netherworld after death like poor people, without caring what happened next…

Therefore, under such circumstances, if he could launch a life-prolonging medicine with small side-effects and good results, he would definitely earn lots of money. There wouldn't be any problem supporting a church whose power was spread across the entire continent, not to mention his followers located in only one holy place!

Creating this medicine relied on the giant serpent that had just met its demise…

Engaging in scientific research was a matter of painstaking labor. Once immersed in their research, scientists tended to be so concentrated that they completely forgot everything else. Once, a scientist mistook his watch for an egg and boiled it, another took a carriage for a blackboard and wrote on it, another didn't even notice that someone had stacked a bunch of chairs beside him, and another even wanted to finish the last bit of his research when he was about to be executed…

Of course, Sui Xiong could not be compared with these old sages, but when he devoted himself to studying, he was also unaware of what was happening around him. So he did not notice that there was a funny scene in the shelter.

Ray was really tired today: that damn serpent not only had thick skin and flesh but it was actually poisonous too! His body was stained with venom from the battle, and although Steele cast a spell to detoxicate him, his loss of energy couldn't simply be restored by a single spell. Also, that hard-fought battle was a soul-stirring one—in fact, when the battle ended and he looked at the dead giant snake, which looked like a fallen giant tree in front of him, he couldn't help but feel an appreciation for this incredible beast.

Such a big creature! Was he really the one who had killed him?!

This hard-fought battle had left him physically exhausted, and he desperately needed rest. So when he finally wrapped himself in his soft quilt and cushion, he fell asleep and began to dream after only a few breaths.

A light flickered before him, and he felt as if he'd returned to his relaxed and secure years from long ago.

"Your Highness! Your Highness of Leon!" An old voice awoke him from the dimness. He opened his eyes and found that now he was sitting at his desk, yawning. The book he'd been reading, Social Analysis: On the Rights, Duties and Obligations of Aristocrats, and the Obligations of Civilians, had fallen off the table and his head had been down.

"I am sorry…" the black-haired boy suddenly flushed and apologized embarrassedly. "I should not be lazy in class…"

"Oh, don't apologize. I saw that today you got up early to practice wielding a sword. Feeling a bit tired after sword practice is normal," the white-haired old man smiled and shook his head, wiping his golden glasses with an expression full of kindness. "Your Highness, you are young, and you still have a weak physical constitution. You don't need to be excessively diligent."

Leon smiled shyly, but his eyes were shining with a warm light. "Teacher, both you and my father have taught me that we should make decisions and work hard as early as possible. My dream is to be a knight who carries a sword, has a strong sense of justice, and is ready to help the weak. For this ideal I cannot slack off, and I must work hard every day!"

The old man smiled and nodded, gently knocking the blackboard in front of him with his finger. "It may be a good thing that you've made such a decision. But the fight over the throne is a bottomless pit which involves countless lives and blood. It is in fact more elegant and unconventional to be a man of great strength who carries a sword, has a strong sense of justice, and is ready to help the weak."

"A few hundred years later, people may not remember who was the king at this time, but they will remember an overwhelming strongman with a royal background. Even if you cannot step into the realm of the legendary, your legacy might remain when the kingdom no longer exists!"

"Teacher, you are joking. How can I become a legendary strongman…" The juvenile shyly smiled, and a slight red flush came across his face.

"This idea is wrong! If you want to set a goal, make it an ambitious one. That way your future will be bright!" The old man looked a bit more serious, and said seriously, "Even if others do not believe you, you should always believe in yourself! Confidence is an essential quality of a man of great strength! Your Highness of Leon, you have to be more confident!"

The juvenile suddenly looked serious and made a serious promise.

But the old man changed the topic from exercising to learning. "Well, now that we've finished chatting, let's start learning today's lesson. Today's lesson is about the use of the second bass in Elven music."

The juvenile immediately lost his look of perseverance and lamented helplessly, "Teacher, do we have to learn these boring things? Elven music…I'll never use this information anyway!"

"One's knowledge of Elven music is required for a royal member. Even if you don't become the king, I must still educate you according to the standards of the future king!" the old man had a granite-like look, and his eyes seemed to make all his students scared. "Your Excellency Leon, since we've wasted some time due to your little nap, today's class will contain a little more content than usual. "

"My God!"

Just before the despairingly dull lesson was about to begin, someone gently knocked at the door of the study.

"Excuse me, may I see the owner of this place?"

It was the sound of a woman's voice, mature and attractive. Just judging by the voice, one couldn't help but fantasize about how charming the woman must be and how nice it'd be to know her.

However, Leon was shocked for a while, because he knew this sound was inexplicably familiar. He even had a vague aversion to this person.

Neither he nor the elderly man spoke before the door to the study room was impolitely pushed open by the woman. A flirtatious and sexy woman entered, wearing tights that could only be described as enticingly immoral. She also had wings and a tail on her back.

"The style of this room is not right!" the woman said like a natural socializer. "I thought it would be a tavern, a casino or a brothel, or even a temple full of statues of tentacles. But how could it be a study?!"

She had no interest in the old man. She saw Leon's face, looked at it carefully for a moment, and shook her head. "Who is this chaste and handsome little man? Are you interested in doing something happy with me?"

The old man suddenly turned angry, "How presumptuous you are! What kind of monster are you? Guards come here! Guards, quickly!"

But the woman did not mind the old man's cries of indignation. She seduced Leon with a tempting look, carefully observing the various decorations in the study.

"A shield, a crown, and an eagle…Wow…I didn't expect to have a chance to have sex with a prince!"

The old man repeatedly called the guards, but not a person came, and he suddenly became very upset. Pulling out a saber that was more decorative than practical, he stepped in front of Leon.

"Your Highness, you jump out the window! Not far from here there is a tree, and with your skills, you can jump up onto it." His tone was heavy and tragic. "Hurry! I cannot block her for long!"

However, Leon did not escape but looked like he suddenly realized something.

"It turns out that… I am dreaming …"

"Dreaming? You are indeed in a dream here, but it is not your dream. It is the dream of a robber who is the least lovely…Ah! So you are she! My God! You changed your look, not to mention your temperament! That's really incredible!"

The flirtatious woman was certainly Steele, who had broken into Ray's dream but saw something unexpected, so at the moment she was laughing very happily. "Ah, I couldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it! You, a robber who often boasts about how tyrannical and rampant he was in the western wilderness, and from time to time boasts about how he killed all the members of a chamber of smugglers… you're actually a prince!"

Leon's (aka Ray's) face turned grim. He gently knocked on the desk with his finger, and the old man who was still holding the sword disappeared, and even all the furniture in the study disappeared and turned into an empty room. His own costume also changed immediately: from everyday casual clothes into a full set of armor. He held his long sword with his left hand and his long spear with his right hand, poised to fight.

"Steele…You made a huge mistake!" he said coldly. "In dreams, people cannot die, so I will show no mercy to you."

"For spying on my secret, I will crucify you on the outer wall of the castle with screws and let you reflect on your deeds!"

"Will this crucifixion be carried out in a vertical way so that the screws go in the lower part of my body and out my mouth?" Steele not only showed no fear but also became excited. "I've only heard about this in the bard's stories, and I always wanted to try it!"

Ray was angry and speechless. He raised his long spear and a cold light flashed across it as he aimed for the slut's mouth. He was determined to clock her right in the damn mouth first!

However, for unknown reasons, Steele's strength had improved at an incredible speed. She kept running around to avoid the fast-moving spear, and she avoided every attack even though she was somewhat embarrassed.

At the same time, she kept taunting Ray, saying things like, "Ah, why do you always target my face when you attack me? Especially my mouth…you'd just like to stab my mouth, huh? In fact, I really like it. Why not f*ck me once, and I promise you an enjoyable experience."

"You slut! You intruded into my dream just in order to say these awful things!" Ray was extremely furious, and he attacked Steele more violently, but he couldn't hurt her.

"It's a long story…" Steele smiled tenderly, giving him a flirtatious look. "I was tired and I just wanted to have a good sleep. But maybe because I was too tired, my soul drifted out of my body for unknown reasons after I fell asleep. I felt so bored, and thought that I really need to reward myself because for so many days I haven't slept with anyone."

"So you came to harass me?!"

"But there is only one man here, and that's you!" Steele did not feel ashamed or shy, and smiled as she licked her lips. "To be honest, only one man is too few!"

"Out!"

"Is 'out' a sex position? I have not used this position yet…but it doesn't matter. As long as Your Highness is willing to satisfy me, I am willing to try whatever position," Steele giggled. "It seems so interesting and worth trying!"

"I mean you! Get! OUT!" Ray roared, and threw his long spear at Steele, which didn't hit her but changed into a lightning bolt that flew out through the wall.

After throwing his long spear, Ray switched to his sword. The sword was much shorter and lighter than the spear, so of course, he wielded it much faster. As a result, Steele could not keep up with him.

As the light reflected by the sword flashed around the room, only a few minutes passed and there were already a few wounds on Steele's body. But this woman was really unique, even among the most eccentric people, because the bloody wounds on her body not only failed to scare her but made her more excited. It seemed that she got pleasure from pain.

At this moment, she actually started to groan.

Ray was extremely angry because of this slut who knew no shame and had no rock bottom. So he attacked with his sword more fiercely. At this time he abandoned his plan of crucifying the slut on the outer wall of the castle with screws and letting cold wind freeze her to death. He just hoped to cut Steele in two and expel her from his dream.

However, there was a clear gap between hopes and reality. Although Steele became more embarrassed, she kept avoiding this imminent danger and maintain the status quo in their fight. As more and more wounds appeared on her body, she became more and more agile and strange.

What was more incredible was that as her moaning became louder, Ray even saw some transparent and bright suspicious liquid amid the splashing blood.

"You slut! After this dream is over, you will be hung out to dry in the real world!" He was so angry and completely lost his mind, and he attacked her more fiercely. The walls and floor all collapsed as the result of his furious attacks. He seemed to want to demolish the house.

Just then, there was a sudden loud crash, and the sky outside the window was severely fragmented. They saw a giant jellyfish large enough to carry a city.

"You are shouting in the middle of the night! Don't you have the slightest bit of common sense?!"

Sui Xiong originally did not want to interfere with the battle between Ray and Steele. In fact, he hadn't noticed it at all.

After Steele fell asleep, her heaven-sent ability was activated so that she snuck into Ray's dream like a Night Witch. This process was quiet and made no noise, so Sui Xiong didn't notice it because he was concentrated on his research.

But then these two were fighting fiercely and noisily in Ray's dream. They were almost demolished the house. For Sui Xiong, who was good at soul perception, their fighting was almost like a fly—no, a hundred flies—buzzing noisily beside his ears.

He tried to be good-tempered and didn't want to do anything. He thought, Maybe I should just endure it and forget it. After all, fighting in a dream could not really hurt anyone, and this way his companions could work out some of their stress and interpersonal tension. He was also very curious about Ray's secretive past. But the two of them really went too far. In particular, when at last Ray was demolishing the house angrily, it was almost like he was playing drums right next to Sui Xiong's ears. He would have been deaf already if he still had ears.

He finally couldn't stand it any longer, so he took action angrily to draw the two people out of Ray's dream.

"You two bastards! I work hard to keep watch and serve as a guardian for you because I want you to sleep in peace. But you fight fiercely even when dreaming…Why can't you sleep in peace?!"

Inside the shelter, the floating jellyfish waved his tentacles in anger and roared at his companions.

Even though she'd behaved outrageously in the dream, Steele was now very well-behaved. Saying nothing, she bowed her head and stood there obediently, waiting for her punishment. This woman wasn't particularly wise, but after getting along with Sui Xiong for some time, she could already see his character. The jellyfish god preferred a soft approach but used force if necessary. If you replied defiantly after making a mistake, then you were definitely courting death. But if you honestly admitted your mistake and received the penalty obediently, Sui Xiong would only give you a small punishment as a warning: he'd rather admonish you than seriously punish you.

On the contrary, Ray was both ashamed and furious because Steele had just spied on his dream. If Sui Xiong had not stopped him and he hadn't been suspicious of Steele's suddenly improved fighting skills, he might have already drawn his sword in anger. In that case, any piece of cut flesh that weighed more than 250g meant that his ability as a swordsman was insufficient!

Sui Xiong scolded them for a while, but soon found they had become enemies, as Steele regretfully kept her head down and Ray clenched his teeth with a murderous look. Sui couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"Once the members of a team lose morale, it becomes difficult to lead the team!"

However, after this incident, he also felt strongly that this woman Steele should be properly punished!

As a Chinese saying went, "rabbits don't eat the grass by their burrows". How could she offend a companion in her team?

He thought, Ray must be thinking,"How dare you offend me while I regard you as my companion?" This kind of thing can be funny, but it's actually distressing when it's happening to my team!

Brainstorm and think of a solution. Or…use your imagination, and think of a solution.

Anyway, he had to come up with a reliable solution no matter what he did! He meditated for a moment, then suddenly inspiration struck.

"I've got it!" He couldn't help but laugh, "Ray, do not be so angry, because I have a way to help you vent your anger, and then you'll be satisfied!"

"As for you, Steele, you must behave yourself, or you will face the combined punishment of several offenses!"

After saying these words, he concentrated on putting his own ingenious idea into action.

Above the Ashes Woods in the remote northwest, the mountain-size floating jellyfish fumbled in his storage room and finally found what he was looking for.

They were the remaining bones of the huge unicorn whale that Sui Xiong had killed. As it was a legendary creature, even a piece of its bone was soaked in highly concentrated magic. Also, Sui Xiong had infiltrated and enhanced them with magic, so these bones had become excellent magical material.

They could contain and conduct magic very well. Above all, they were highly suited to Sui's magic and greatly raised his success rate when making complex magic formations.

After he selected his materials, up next was the design. What Sui Xiong wanted to make seemed simple, but in fact, it was quite complicated. In particular, as Steele was partly a holy spirit, she had particularly good magic resistance, and she also had several extraordinary methods so that ordinary methods were of no use to her. To design this thing was really not easy!

After changing the draft design several times, Sui Xiong finally decided on the design he wanted to use. Moreover, his materials had been scrapped twice. Finally, almost half a month after that dreadful night, he created what he had designed.

By this time, they had almost crossed the entire Wild Marsh of Ancient Woods and were close to the Broken Cloud Mountains.

These days the mood amongst the team was extremely dour. Ray's face was constantly grim, and he always had his sword in his hand, gesturing deliberately or unconsciously. He looked as if he was about to kill someone and cut up the corpse. The originally unscrupulous Steele, aware that she was to be punished by Sui Xiong and that he'd spent an especially long time preparing her punishment, could not help but feel scared. So she had been behaving very well, without harassing Ray again.

But she would often disappear for more than half a day, and when she returned she looked refreshed with a red flush on her face. It was unknown what she did. …No, in fact, anyone could guess what she was doing without asking.

Sui Xiong was simply too busy to notice such trivial things. Ray actually had time, but he had no interest in talking to that slut, let alone asking her about her whereabouts.

Of course, more importantly, he did not want to pollute his ears with such filth. Some things, after hearing them even once, can permanently contaminate your ears!

Whether she had sex with the wild races or demon beasts, or even a Green Dragon in this marsh, was only her business. If she became paralyzed after sleeping with a Green Dragon, she would suffer as a result of her own actions!

In fact, during this time, they actually passed the territory of a Green Dragon. Ray was highly aware of this dangerous atmosphere, and he was poised to fight by pulling out his sword. But in the end, the Green Dragon didn't appear in front of them, perhaps because it was full or it was cautious by nature. It was just on alert and watched them as they passed.

Among the races of dragons, Green Dragons were relatively common. Not only did they have a strong physical constitution and heaven-sent magic abilities, but they also had a cautious character and a cunning mindset. They were commonly considered very hard to deal with.

Green Dragons rarely acted recklessly. They would observe the target carefully before they attacked or came into contact with it, in order to identify its power. Only when they could ensure their advantage in terms of force would they attack. Even if they didn't want to attack and only wanted to communicate with the target, they would choose someone they were certain they could defeat, so as not to put themselves in danger.

Some dragons were passionate about raiding villages, towns, and cities of intelligent creatures in order to plunder wealth or satisfy their desire for destruction and murder. Most of these huge dragons did not live long. No matter how powerful they were, in the face of infinite numbers of attackers, they would eventually be exhausted.

There were some dragons that did things more carefully, such as the de facto ruler of Dragon-roar Town, Ice Dragon Snow. Her reputation as the Arctic Tyrant frightened the four northwestern towns, and she continually called for demon beasts so people could attack and defeat them. On the one hand, she extorted money from time to time, but on the other hand, she provided people with rich financial resources as if she were their lord.

She also had good command of when and how often to lean on the people in Dragon-roar Town, to the point that they became accustomed to and accepted this de facto tax. This also reduced the risk of being attacked by rogues who cherished a sense of justice. As for those evil adventurers chasing wealth, no one would be interested in a poor dragon that merely collected taxes in a town regularly, right?

In fact, this practice didn't conform to the style of an Ice Dragon but was somewhat similar to that of Green Dragons. Among the evil dragons, Green Dragons sought the title of ruler most. However, compared with the soft and ingenious means of Snow, Green Dragons' greedy nature often meant they were actual tyrants, and there was no way for them to manage a stable territory like Snow.

Ray did not know whether or not the Green Dragon that they passed had territory. It probably did, and it was likely that it ruled a few villages of wild races, and there might be many demon beasts under its command. So Steele might really have met it when she went to have sex with the wild races. But whether they'd met or not, it was clear that the slut had not chosen to have sex with the dragon, seeing as she'd returned safe and sound.

What a pity! These days, Ray sighed over this more than once.

He was so tired of this woman, not only because of her outrageous lifestyle but also because she reminded him of some things in his past that he hadn't thought about for a long time. They were very beautiful memories that caused him to suffer every time he recalled them.

Maybe until we arrive at the Commonwealth of Mifata, I should bid farewell to His Majesty, he secretly thought. My character is still a little too old-fashioned, and I am unable to keep up with his fantastic ideas. Maybe only a person like Steele, an immoral madwoman, can get along well with His Majesty … After all, he is a jellyfish!

This thought crossed his mind many times. Because of this, when they camped that day and Sui Xiong triumphantly made an announcement, he did not react immediately.

"Ray, what are you thinking?" Sui Xiong asked Ray, who was spacing out absent-mindedly. Sui Xiong smiled and said, "Here I am about to punish Steele and vent your anger. If you don't seem to care, what's the point?"

Ray cleared his mind and asked, "Your Majesty, you are finally ready! What is it?"

Sui Xiong laughed three times, waved his tentacles, and took out a golden headband. "This is a precious thing that I made after doing painstaking research. It is specifically designed to curb the perverse thoughts and poor behavior of juveniles in order to help them repent and be rehabilitated!"

"What is it called?"

"Haha, its name is…" Sui proudly looked around, laughed three times again, and said word by word, "Jin! Gu! Quan!"

Chapter 69: Chapter 69

Translator: Sigma Editor: Sigma

Of course, Ray and Steele did not know this name, but in Sui Xiong's world, it was practically a household name, at least in the cultural circle connected with his language.

The original version of Jinguquan had only two effects: the first was that it could not be taken off one's head once he or she wore it; the second was that when someone silently chanted the spell "Jinguzhou", the headband would tighten. No matter if the talented Monkey King who wore it changed into a fish, into an earthworm, into a drop of water, fire, or even left his body as only his soul, the headband would cause an intense headache and he would admit defeat.

The Jinguquan that Sui Xiong made was different from the original one. It could not only be activated like the original version, but also had a default way of starting. Of course, this inspiration was not from the Journey to the West, but from Stephen Chow's movie "A Chinese Odyssey".

According to Sui Xiong's design, there was one thing that could start the Jinguzhou and tighten the Jinguquan. Of course, it was not so strict as whether the person wearing it was tempted by sexual desire. If it were, Steele would die after a few days because the band would be too tight on her head…It might not even take a full day.

Sui Xiong set a guideline for Steee, which meant she could not force others to have sex with her. As long as she had such a thought, the Jinguquan would tighten before she could take action. If, after being warned, she still did not repent and would not give up, then the Jinguquan would continue to tighten…Strictly speaking, the headband didn't really tighten a person's head so much as to kill them, but if they weren't careful, that person might lose consciousness due to the pain.

Sui Xiong explained the effect of this band and said with a smile, "According to the legend, the Jinguquan was used on an extraordinary hero who wreaked havoc in heaven and frightened the trayo dhātava. To tell you the truth, I cannot match its power, but I think it'll have a positive result for us too."

He tossed the band to Ray. "Let's just think of it as disciplining a naughty child who loves to burn others…Ray, put it on her head, and afterwards, chant the spell of Jinguzhou."

Without any thought, Steele flapped her wings and started to run away, trying to escape by using her ability to fly.

However, in front of Sui Xiong, how could she escape? Sui Xiong laughed loudly, changed himself into a giant palm, plucked her out of the sky, and pressed her under his palm as if he had swatted a fly. Then the giant palm changed into an iceberg shaped like a five-fingered hand, firmly pressing her underneath.

"Hey! You naughty woman, how dare you intend to escape the Five Finger Mountain of me, a Buddha?!" Sui Xiong shouted in Chinese, full of a sense of accomplishment. Unfortunately, no one in this world could understand his Chinese, so his sense of accomplishment inevitably felt a bit undermined.

After pinning down Steele, Sui Xiong taught Ray the spell of Jinguzhou, asked him to put the Jinguquan on Steele's head, and then withdrew his magic and destroyed the iceberg.

"I believe that with your wisdom and knowledge, you can suppress this wild woman so that she won't make so much trouble." Sui Xiong could not help but smile, because he saw that Steele couldn't remove the headband. She tried a few options out, such as magic and drawing her soul out of her body.

Sui Xiong then said to Ray, "You decide when to chant the magic words and how many times you chant them. And, if necessary, you can always chant the spell in reverse to temporarily pause the effect of the Jinguquan. Of course, then she can also get rid of it."

Ray was very pleased, nodding along as Sui Xiong spoke. He began to chant the spell in his mind silently, and suddenly Steele felt the headband began to tighten around her head. At first, it wasn't very tight, and she was able to endure the pain. But as Ray chanted the spell more and more, the band became tighter and tighter, and she felt like her head was about to crack open. Steele cried out and yelled loudly and even rolled into the muddy water, but she had no solution. So she could only beg for mercy from Ray so that he would spare her.

Ray stopped chanting the spell. It was strange that as he stopped reciting it, Steele immediately felt no pain in her head. Terrified, she touched the Jinguquan on her head and could not help but burst into tears when imagining this new debacle she found herself in.

This was the end of her happy life, a time when life was leisurely and carefree!

During the rest of their trip, Steele behaved herself as the band restricted her. Not only did she stop harassing Ray, she even disappeared into the wild to have sex with less frequency.

However, this had advantages and disadvantages. She often felt a sudden headache while flying, falling to the ground and screaming in pain. This greatly reduced her efficiency as a scout.

It also allowed Sui Xiong and Ray to really see how powerful the band was. Basically, Steele's mind was full of lust anytime and anywhere, and within less than a day, the Jinguquan had been triggered more than twenty times. She made do with it for a day, but she really couldn't stand it at night. She cried and begged Sui Xiong to change the settings of the Jinguquan.

"I can't live this way at all!" she cried sorrowfully. "If I can't even think about having sex, then what's the point of living? You'd better just kill me!"

Sui Xiong was speechless hearing this woman's belief that she'd rather die than be forced not to have sex. After some bargaining, he finally changed the settings of the Jinguquan.

First, he lifted the restraints on lust.Simply thinking about having sex was innocent enough. Although his original intention was to correct Steele's wayward thinking with harsh constraints, it seemed that this woman was beyond that, and there was no possibility to change her pattern of thoughts, so Sui had to give that up.

Second, based on the principle that with every punishment should also come some kind of consolation, he added a secondary function to the Jinguquan: as long as Steele strove to constrain her lust, she could store the energy she used during sex until it was time for her to use it again.

"Does this mean that most of the time I can store my lust, and then when I need to have sex, I can cast a large-scale and indiscriminate spell to make everyone around aroused and hold intense naked congress?" Steele responded, eyes shining and mouth watering.

Sui Xiong sighed and gave up the lengthy argument that he'd originally prepared. This woman simply couldn't be cured!

After finally having solved this problem, the team finally arrived at the Broken Cloud Mountains.

The Broken Cloud Mountains were a series of mountains known as the roof of the mainland. The west end of this mountain range was on the shore of the vast sea, spanning diagonally from the southwest to the northeast. Near the center of the continent, it spanned from west to east, separating the Ancient Forest and the Eagle Kingdom. It spanned northward a bit, forming an arc, then spanned eastward and extended to the vast eastern plains, into the territory of the Kingdom of the Blue Moon.

The defining feature of this mountain range was its incredible height. Except for the part that stretched to the vast eastern plains, most of the mountains were endless cliffs that connected with each other. From the foot of a mountain, one cliff after another could be seen extending above the clouds, as if the peak was cut off by the dense cloud cover—thus the name Broken Cloud.

This mountain range was not only a natural barrier that cut off the north-south traffic on the continent but also a famous sacred place for self-cultivation. According to Ray, at least half of the world's legendary heroes and over 70% of the strongest men lived in these steep, towering mountains.

The reason was very simple: high concentration of magic.

The magic concentration distribution was roughly as follows: with the sea level as the dividing line, the magic concentration would increase upward and downward. The magic concentration in places of high altitude and deep seas was very high, so powerful magical monsters either lived in the mountains or the deep sea.

Regardless of the situation in the deep sea, the highest mountain on the continent was in the Broken Cloud Mountains, so most powerful magical monsters on land lived here. Also, because of the high concentration of magic, the men who had surpassed the limits of mortals all liked to live here, hoping to increase the possibility of further breakthroughs.

In this world, there were many so-called "forbidden places". For example, the central area of the Gobi desert was a forbidden place. But the Broken Cloud Mountains were not a forbidden place, because for people that were not strong enough, even if they wanted to, they couldn't climb up the mountains.

High concentration of magic was not only able to spawn powerful monsters but was also no different from a virulent poison for creatures that were used to environments with low concentrations of magic. If you could not break through the magical limit and step into the legendary realm, you were not even eligible to climb mountains.

Want to commit suicide? It'd be more realistic to look for a rope and hang yourself on a tree.

"I'm sure I can't cross the Broken Cloud Mountains," Ray panted. He shook his head as he saw the cliffs ahead were even higher and felt a heavier concentration of magic in the air, gasping after climbing up a steep peak. "It really won't work, I cannot do it."

Sui Xiong didn't give him a hard time. Instead, he looked at Steele.

"I think…it does not matter…" Although Steele still sounded determined, she was betrayed by her breathlessness.

Obviously, for their team of adventurers, crossing these mountains was a really difficult challenge, and neither Ray nor Steele seemed capable of pressing on.

Even more complicated was that unlike the Mountains of Barrenness, which had notches and plateaus, the Broken Cloud Mountains were the roof of this continent, and they were long and unbroken without a reasonable place to rest.

If you wanted to cross the mountains, you either had to be strong enough or compromise and take a detour.

Looking at his teammates who were struggling to hold on, and seeing the unbroken mountains ahead, so tall and straight and unknowably high, Sui fell into meditation.

After a while, he finally came up with a solution.

"Your Majesty, are you sure therre really won't be a problem?" Ray asked. For all the bravery he had, Ray couldn' help but be somewhat frightened when he saw the bloody mouth big enough for an adult to enter and exit. "This approach… does not seem very reliable…"

"Yeah, let's take a detour!" Steele had reached a consensus with Ray, which was rare, and she nodded her head like a chicken pecking.

It was no wonder they were afraid, because they saw that Sui Xiong had transformed into a room-sized jellyfish and asked them to walk into his stomach. They were asked to take the "Jellyfish Airship" to fly over the Broken Cloud Mountains.

To be honest, it wasn't such a bad idea, because they could effectively solve a variety of problems that might be encountered.

The magic concentration was too high? Sui Xiong could absorb and filter it.

The air was too thin? Sui Xiong could suck in the nearby air and increase oxygen levels artificially.

There were dangerous demon beasts flying at high altitude? Sui Xiong could drive them away.

Unable to see the road clearly when flying? Sui Xiong could use magic positioning.

In general, except for its frightening shape, the Jellyfish Airship was indeed very good.

However, it was horrible. Yes, horrible!

Horrible indeed!

So horrible that it must be said three times!

Normal people absolutely could not step into the stomach of a huge demon beast!

Frankly, Ray and Steele weren't even considered normal people. But even these two, a solitary robber and an eccentric slut, could not convince themselves to go into the jellyfish's stomach in order to hurry on their journey!

"No way!"

"Yes! No way indeed!"

They did their best to resist.

But in the end, they still gave in.

With a laugh of excitement, the huge floating jellyfish slowly rose and flew toward the clouds…

What was the most amazing way to fly in the world?

By plane? By hot air balloon? By using power umbrella? Or by bungee jumping?

By using a flying horse? By using your own wings? By magical antigravity? By maneuvering air and traveling through the Void?

Perhaps people had imagined all sorts of weird and incredible ways of flying, but probably none of them would think of flying by way of a god's stomach.

"It's incredible!"

Looking out through the window specially created by Sui Xiong, they could see a clear sky beneath with a singular landscape of sea-like clouds. Ray couldn't help but keep his eyes wide open staring here and there like a greedy child. He wanted to remember the type of scenery that ordinary people would never see in their life.

After a long while, when his eyes were somewhat sore, he left the window and returned to his "seat" and asked Steele, who was yawning, "Aren't you excited? Or are you used to seeing this view because you usually fly here and there?"

Steele yawned and said absent-mindedly, "I cannot fly to this height…We are flying above the clouds …"

"Then why aren't you excited?"

"I had a headache yesterday and I didn't sleep well…Don't bother me!"

Ray suddenly realized that from last night to the night before last to many nights before that, Steele had been restrained by the Jinguquan. She couldn't have any lust, but she also couldn't obediently restrain her mind that was full of messy ideas. Basically, for the whole day she was in a cycle of thinking of sex, suffering a headache, behaving herself, and then thinking of sex again. She wouldn't have a moment of peace until the Jinguquan was changed.

She hadn't seemed tired before because they were climbing the mountain. Now that they were relaxing, she felt the accumulated fatigue, and she definitely felt sleepy!

After figuring this out, Ray stopped disturbing Steele, and decided to read a book to pass the time.

Due to his aristocratic background, Ray had the habit of carrying books, but in fact, he rarely read. Over the years, he was either killing people or busy on the move. Even if he found some time to relax, mostly he would also urge himself to work out in order to be ready for the next adventure or battle. However, these strange surroundings currently made him too nervous to work out, so he could only read a book.

The book was made with beautiful workmanship: its tawny parchment was held tight by a silver frame so it would never get bent out of shape. The words were made of gold threads inlaid on the black cover, and the decorative gems gave it a luxurious feel.

But for the real connoisseurs, the signature below the title, written by the man who'd copied the book, was why this book was really worthwhile.

This man was a legendary mage—of course, when he copied it, he was still a young scholar who had not really stepped into the mysterious realm of magic.

There was no papermaking technology on the continent, so books were mostly made using parchment. Every piece of paper meant that a piece of sheepskin of the same size was consumed, which also meant the human labor was perhaps more valuable than the sheepskin itself. This made books very expensive, and ordinary civilians rarely read more than once a year.

In addition to sheepskin, cloth was also a decent writing material. But it was less suitable for making books. Generally, it was only used to make announcements, post rewards, and so on.

Writing on a piece of paper was a technical job, which relied on scholars to copy the words down if they didn't use the spell specifically invented for that purpose. Spell-recorded texts were neat and clear but lacked artistic beauty, so they had no value other than as physical texts. Some strict collectors only acknowledged handwritten manuscripts as books and dismissed books written by magic.

The book in Ray's hand, although only an ordinary epic with nothing special in terms of content, could be regarded as an embodiment of great art due to its graceful strokes. The identity of the author also greatly increased its value and classified it more as treasure.

When Ray left home, he had almost nothing valuable other than the sword in his hand and this book. Over the years, he had wandered from place to place, enduring many hardships. Even during his most abject time, he would never have thought of selling this book.

If the sword was his comrade, then the book was his mental comfort. Only when he saw this book would he think of his calm and peaceful life from the past, and he would remember that his boyhood was not just a dream.

That said, he rarely read books.

The sun shining through the window was clear and bright, and Ray sat quietly, reading the epic in his hand page by page, luxuriating in the thrilling history contained in the verses. Sometimes he was amazed by the poet's exquisitely written words. Even if you didn't know his origins as a prince, you would think Ray was clearly a scholar full of aristocratic elegance, just judging by his appearance at that moment.

When Steele woke up, she saw this scene.

Ray was actually very good-looking. Sui Xiong didn't rearrange his face arbitrarily but actually polished it up in accordance with the principle of fine art, so his face was almost perfect despite some deliberate incongruities. As the days passed, this sense of incongruity also slowly disappeared as he showed different emotions. At the moment, he could be considered a truly handsome man. If he walked on bustling streets wearing modern clothes, countless women would stare at him with shining eyes.

At least, Steele's eyes were shining now—she was as envious as a hungry wolf.

Perhaps it was because she exuded an air that was too obvious, Ray pulled back the book with haste and knocked on the wall beside him.

"Your Majesty," he asked, "is there any problem chanting Jinguzhou here?"

Before Sui Xiong had time to answer, Steele already shouted, lying on the ground motionless.

"… I haven't even started to chant the spell!"

"In fact, I think both of you are very good friends," Sui said with a smile. "There is a very good understanding between you two."

Ray suddenly turned upset. " A very good understanding between us?! Your Majesty the Jellyfish God, your observation and understanding of humanity is far from complete!

"Maybe so," Sui Xiong said, no longer entangling himself in this issue. In turn, he remixed some music with his magic, and the music echoed in the "flight cabin".

"Attention please, the flight of the jellyfish which is flying over the Broken Cloud Mountains is about to land. Please fasten your seatbelts and take good care of your children. Please check your belongings, turn off your cell phone and other electronic products, and thank you for your cooperation."

He articulated very clearly, as if he were a steward on a flight back in his world. However, in this different world where no one understood Chinese, the two passengers only complained.

"What spell is this?" Ray asked.

"Maybe something is wrong?" Steele's idea was a bit pessimistic. "We are going down, are we crashing?"

Sui Xiong let out a long sigh. He couldn't help but feel a frustration similar to giving a flirtatious look to a blind woman.

The "Jellyfish Airship" soon landed slowly. Because Sui Xiong had been maintaining the air pressure in the cabin at a normal level, the two passengers did not have the same tinnitus and dizziness as they would have on Earth, let alone pain in their nose or ears. Sui Xiong could not help but secretly fantasize, "If this technology could only be used in the aircrafts on Earth…"

However, this was impossible because the planes on Earth certainly would not have an exterior as strong as the jellyfish god's body, which could resist the enormous air pressure caused by the difference in the air density inside and outside the cabin at high altitudes.

With a slight jot, the "airship" landed smoothly on the ground. A gate opened on the airship, and the two passengers tidied up their belongings and carefully walked out.

Outside there was a piece of flat rock, as well as some snow nearby that had not melted, which showed the terrain was quite high. There were lush woods stretching from the distant slopes as far as the eye could see. The horizon of blue and green looked clear and distinct.

This was apparently the southern part of the mountain range, the woods which had existed since the birth of the world, known as the Ancient Forest.

From "boarding" to "landing", the trip only lasted a few hours. In fact, Sui Xiong could have further compressed the time to even a few moments of flight, but the highly concentrated magic at high altitude made him feel very comfortable. Therefore, he slowed down and flew slowly in the air at a walking pace. This explained why the trip took so long a time.

Of course, Ray and Steele didn't know this, and they only knew that they easily flew over the Broken Cloud Mountains, a natural barrier to the strongest of men. They didn't have to struggle and trek, and there were no sinister battles en route, and it wasn't even a long journey. The whole process was nothing more than a nap for Steele and reading time for Ray.

It was as relaxing as resting in a hotel.

"The power of a god is really vast and unpredictable!" Ray sighed. "Your Majesty, you will have many believers if you a reliable deity!"

"In fact, I have many followers," Sui said. "In the north, I have recruited hundreds of people."

"I'm not talking about someone who praises you for money or asylum, but someone that sincerely respects and believes in you," emphasized Ray. "You can have as many followers of the former type as you want, as long as you are willing to pay them, but only the latter type of followers are true believers."

Sui Xiong laughed indifferently because he actually did not care about this. True faith didn't seem to be of any benefit to him.

According to the rules of the gods, the belief of followers would give them strength. However, he never felt anything in regards to the "power of faith". For him, the belief of his followers was nothing more than empty praise that flattered his ego.

If some people believed in him, of course, it would be very good. If no people believed in him, in fact, it was not a big deal. After all, it was about one's pride and respect.

This was like a proverb on Earth: Even a Buddha will fight for an incense stick. It was also one's pride and respect that a Buddha fought for in this proverb. That was it.

Although Sui Xiong had been living in this world for a long time and already possessed a power as great as that of the gods, as well as having followers full of belief as many gods did, Sui Xiong had not fully changed into a god of this world.

In essence, his soul was still one from Earth, and he remained unchanged.

Chapter 71: Chapter 71

Translator: Sigma Editor: Sigma

The Ancient Forest was a boundless forest. It was said when this world was just created, the God of Light and the God of Darkness had a big fight, and their blood was mixed together and the most original form of life was born from this mixed blood. In fact, most of the blood became the God of Life, and the rest of blood soaked into the ground, and thus a boundless and dense forest appeared which was the southern forest that we saw in the center of the continent.

This forest was the God of Life's favorite, and since then she had been living in this forest for a long time with all the creatures she had created. Until the Year of Ruin, the battle between the God of Light and the God of Darkness was over and both of them died. Because of their death, the core of the world began to shake severely, and the four elements; earth, water, wind, and fire all became various monsters that were quickly involved in a big war with the Gods. The war was a total disaster for the human race and many people and other creatures died. The God of Life was almost heartbroken when she saw this all happening, so she pulled out a sword and began to fight with the monsters. She divided the world into different Plates, removed the Gods from the forest and made the rule of the world.

After this, the God of Life ran out of all her strength and died. Until now, the great priesthood of "life" was still not claimed. Although there were many Gods that had the power that would make them only barely qualified for this priesthood, not a single God dared to manage this priesthood. It was said that the will of the God of Life was still in this forest, and her will was still guarding the world she loved so much. If there was a extremely powerful being that came into the Main Plate, her will would be exacerbated and change into the magnificent lightning and thunder and kill the intruder on the spot.

In the past, the God of the Thunder of the first generation considered himself the strongest among all the other Gods. Besides being solely in charge of the priesthood of thunder, lightning, ruin and things alike, he thought he could withstand the lightning and thunder from the will of the God of Life. Then he boldly walked into the Main Plate and wanted to take control of this world.

And the result? Every time after the sun went down, people could see a bright moon slowly move across the sky, and this moon was the remains of the God of Thunder.

All these years, over ten extremely powerful beings have been killed by the lightning and thunder. The rule "not a single extremely powerful being may ever step foot into the Main Plate" had finally become a rule that was obeyed by all the other powerful Gods, as well as those monsters.

Now, even those powerful beings who were just half-Gods were making preparations to leave the Main Plate, since they had no idea who would be next to be hit by the lightning and thunder.

For the Gods who lived in the human society, most of them were just the doppelgängers of themselves. They did not live in the Main Plate with their real bodies; they just copied their own mind and put it into a body that only had a small amount of magical energy, and this was the so-called "God's living in the human world."

If there was a God who came to the Main Plate with his real body, they would have to temporarily make the place their own Holy Kingdom and separate this place from the Main Plate. Doing this would cost them a huge amount of magical energy, so even the most powerful Gods would not easily came to the Main Plate with their real bodies; not to mention there was a chance that they could get into a fight with others.

What if their temporary Holy Kingdom was destroyed during the fight, and then their power began to permeate the area? The next minute they would be hit by the lightning and thunder…

Anyone who was sensible enough to think of this would control their temper no matter how angry they were at that time.

As for one who lost their temper, well, they were sure to be hit by the lightning and thunder and die.

"…how marvelous that scene must be, just think about it! The Gods are hit by the lightning from the sky one by one! This God of Life is really mighty!" After finishing this story, Sui Xiong was really impressed by the God of Life and kept praising her, "If she were still alive, I would definitely give her a thumbs up and say to her— Madame, you are really tough!"

Ray was staring at the dim sky. After a while, he shook his head and sighed.

"What's wrong?"

"Well, it seems that… the God of Life is indeed dead," Ray said in a very melancholy way. "If not, you would have already been hit by the lightning and thunder and been dead by now!"

Hearing his words, Sui Xiong became speechless, while Steele burst into laughter. She laughed so hard that she began to roll about on the ground.

"What's so funny?" Ray was confused.

"What? You don't see me rolling about on the ground?" Steele instantly stopped rolling. "Why haven't you told me earlier, it is really tiring to roll on the ground."

Sui Xiong was amazed by this and began to laugh.

There were so many flourishing trees in the Ancient Forest, and it was not a very dangerous place. This forest was the cradle of the fairies. It was said that the God of Life once created the earliest intelligent species— the advanced fairies. As time went by, the advanced fairies could no longer be seen anymore, but their offspring, who were still called the fairies, lived in this forest until today.

The fairies that were mostly seen were: tree fairies, suburb fairies and sun fairies.

The tree fairies had green hair, and they could communicate with the plants and practice nature spells just like Druids did. They were a bit slim, even so, their spells helped them live peacefully.

Normally, a tree fairy could live for around four to five centuries, and they were very good at practicing magic spells. They were one of the few races that was extremely powerful. If it were not for their reluctance to leave the Ancient Forest, they could have already built their own empire.

As for the suburb fairies, they were the most commonly seen fairies on the continent. They looked almost human-like and were not slim at all, some of them even were very sturdy. There were also many suburb fairies who always wore armour and held axes. The characteristics of their body were that they had pointed and long ears as well as the smooth hair.

Their life cycle was a bit strange. On the one hand, they were almost the same as humans when they were in their childhood, youth and middle age. On the other hand, when they were in their old age, normally around eighty years old, their hair would grow white and they could only do some easy jobs, but this stage could last for a long time which meant that one suburb could still look the same when he was one hundred and eighty years old. Over half of their life was old age.

If there were also some suburb fairies on the earth, and they had made their own country, the problem of an aging population would be so severe that the leader of the country would be too worried about this problem to fall asleep at night.

Each sun fairy had a beautiful, tall and strong body and looked just like a statue beautifully crafted by an artist. They were probably the perfect race, both in terms of the intelligence and physical strength, as most of them could practice spells. They also had a problem— a sun fairy could only have a child with another sun fairy, but a female sun fairy could only give birth to five children at most in her whole life. In fact, most of the families only had no more than two children.

The scholars believed that the sun fairies were the direct descendants of the advanced fairies. Once there were some evil wizards who tried to catch them and extract the blood of the advance fairies from them. Well, they never made it and all faced a serious consequence since each sun fairy was protected by the Gods of the fairy race. When a man tried to kill a sun fairy, the punisher sent by the Gods immediately arrived.

Apart from these three kinds of fairies, there were also the mountain fairies, the sea fairies, the earth fairies and the moon fairies. Since the number of these fairies were as abundant, there was no need to give a further description about them.

Sui Xiong, Ray and Steele crossed the Ancient Forest, and they soon arrived at a village of the tree fairies.

This village was built on a tree and consisted of countless small tree houses. One would never realize that there was a village hidden in the tree if he did not raise his head to look.

The three did not intend to proceed in a secretive way, and they had spotted the sentry of the village in the long distance. This sentry wore an armour made of the bark and held a magic wand in his hand, and there was a long bow on his back. Both the armour and the weapons were shining, obviously, these magic items were something special.

The tree fairies' technique of instilling the magic into a certain weapon was very famous across the whole continent. Each year, there would be many people who would take their beloved weapons and visit the tree fairies, hoping they could instill the magic into their weapons.

But there were some limitations of this technique— Once a weapon was instilled with a magic power, it would choose its own master, and for one who was not its master, it was just a common weapon.

Although the wizards' technique of instilling magic into a certain weapon costed more and its effect was not ideal, there was no limitation to it which meant anyone could use a weapon that had been instilled with the magic energy; therefore, more people would prefer to ask the wizards to instill magic to their weapons.

Ray had always admired this technique of the tree fairies, so when he made all the arrangements to temporarily live in this village, Ray immediately asked the waiter of the hostel if was there anyone who mastered the technique of instilling magic into a weapon; he wanted to make that sort of weapon of his own.

"There is no such a master here; if we want to instill the magic to a certain weapon, we would ask Trian who lives nearby." The waiter was called Warren. He was very agile and clearly liked a person whose Kong Fu was great, so he gave some important information to Ray. "The Master Trian is very antisocial. No one has paid him a visit in the last fifty years. The last time, he made some communications with people and he only had a few words with them…"

"What does he look like?"

Warren pondered a while, and then he said, "Someone told me that Master Trian is very old. Both his beard and hair have grown gray, and he always wears a black robe. He smells like potions and often coughs…"

"The Master Trian is not only good at the technique of instilling the magic into a certain weapon, but also the spagirism, right?"

Warren was stunned and surprisingly asked, "Where do you know this from? Is he very famous in the outside world?"

Ray couldn't help laughing and said, "Of course, he is very famous! I never thought he lived here!"

Now Ray was sure that this Master Trian was the person he has heard about quite often.

How lucky I am to be able to come across this legendary figure!

"Master Trian?" Steele thought for a while and then asked, "Is he the one who invented Viagra?"

Hearing this, Ray's face instantly got serious, and said, "That is something he invented in his youth, his representative work should be the 'vitality potion'!"

"Vitality potion? Isn't it better to practice an advanced restoration spell?" Steele scorned. "I think it is a really stupid thing for him to spend so much time inventing the vitality potion. After all, he is old now, and he is not as talented as he was when he was young!"

"…Don't judge an average adventurer by the standards of the aristocracy!" Ray yelled, "Master Trian saw how miserable people's lives were, and that's why he spent over a hundred years of time inventing the vitality potion! A woman like you, who only tends to obey their sexual impulses, could never understand his greatness!"

"There is nothing wrong with enjoying sex!" Steele was unhappy with his words, "You are a prince yourself. How can you criticize the aristocracy by putting yourself into the shoes of the adventurers?!"

"…How dare you mention this! I will chant the Incantation of the Golden Hoop!"

"Fine, do it then! You can't persuade me so you want to use force?! In fact, don't bother to chant the Incantation of the Golden Hoop, just kill me then!" Steele was furious and tore her upper clothing, and most of her upper body was revealed, "Cut me anywhere you want!"

Seeing that the two were going to have a fight, Sui Xiong intended to mediate and said, "Ray, you just said you want to pay a visit to the Master Trian and ask him to make a few magic weapons. You also mentioned that he was an expert on spagirism, right?"

"Right, Master Trian is the top expert on spagirism in this world," Ray said. "Besides, he is also very good at the technique of instilling magic into a weapon; moreover, he has acquired a lot of medical knowledge and is a good doctor too. Around two hundred years ago, he wrote a book on how to save a wounded soldier on a war field, now almost every big scale military camp has a copy of this book."

"You mean the book On the Emergency Treatment of Catagma, Dislocation, Dilaceration and Incision was written by him?" Steele, with her upper body naked, was astonished by this, and she asked, "Isn't 'Cold Wind' the author of this book?"

"Master Trian always uses a pen name, and the 'Cold Wind' is one of his pen names. He also published two collections of poems, so he is often seen as a poet."

When Ray was young, he was very hardworking and acquired more knowledge than Steele could ever master. Besides, he had a more noble upbringing than a Viscount of a desolated pioneering manor, so he was able to get more valuable information.

"I never thought you read medical books, how amazing!"

"Well, when I sneaked out, I would do something crazy, and then I would have to learn to do some first aid treatment…"

Seeing Steele shamelessly talking about her sexual experience, Ray was speechless and sighed, "I am still too naive!"

While Sui Xiong was rather curious about this, and asked Steele, "After doing something crazy, you would have to do some first aid treatment. What do you exactly mean by that?"

A few minutes later, Ray, who was wearing a jellyfish on his head, crazily ran out of the hostel.

"That is really disgusting!" he complained to Sui Xiong. "Your Majesty, although you are a jellyfish and have a different view on beauty from us, you should at least care about my feelings! What Steele said inside that hostel was really disgusting!"

"I never thought…" Sui Xiong was a bit overwhelmed, since he came from the information age and had seen too much and done too much. He was more shocked than Ray was, and it seemed that it was going to take while for Sui Xiong to recover.

The two turned around and began to walk back to the hostel, but both of them did not want to go in when they realized that Steele was still in there. So they made the decision to ask Warren to take them to the place where Master Trian lived.

Warren was a warm-hearted guy, and instantly asked for leave from the owner of the hostel and agreed to take them there.

Starting from the village called the "tatter leaf at the foot of the mountain," and walking to the west for about ten miles, they arrived at the place where Master Trian lived.

While they were walking, they smelled an amazingly sweet smell permeating the forest. They had no idea where this smell came from and felt very refreshed by it.

Warren started to become cautious and warned Ray to walk slowly and asked Ray to walk behind him. The two were carefully walking forward along the path in the woodland.

A short while later, the sweet smell got more intense, and Ray felt a bit dizzy. If it were not for Warren's warning, Ray would definitely go to find where the smell came from.

This smell… might come from the precious herbs that were carefully cultivated by Master Trian, and these herbs were probably used to make healing potions. Master Trian was really brilliant; he was not only the expert on spagirism, but he also knew how to plant herbs as well!

While Ray was praising Master Trian secretly in his mind, Warren suddenly stopped walking and sighed, "We should probably stop here. It seems that Master Trian doesn't want to see anyone today."

"What?!" Ray was stunned.

Warren pointed to the front, suggesting Ray to look. Ray carefully watched and found there were a bunch of small green trees in front of them. The trees just looked like a wall and blocked the road.

"If Master Trian wanted to see anyone, these trees would stand aside and a path would appear. Now they have blocked the way, which means that Master Trian doesn't want to see anyone today."

Sui Xiong and Ray were totally stunned, since they never thought Master Trian could be so eccentric. When Master Trian was in a low spirit, no one could see his house, not to mention the gate of his house.

"Can I call him?" Ray asked.

"You'd better not, this place has been heavily secured. If he thinks you are asking for trouble…" Warren had a shiver, even his face got a bit pale, "We'd better just come another day."

Judging from his face, Ray realized that it was not wise to break in or call to him aloud, so he had no choice but to go back to the village.

When he came back to the hostel, Ray instantly checked out from the old room that he shared with Steele and picked a room on the opposite side of hallway. Ray was determined to do so since he did not want to share a room with that creepy Steele any longer, even if the condition of the new room was not that ideal.

At night, when Ray fell asleep, Steele asked a few strong tree fairies to come to her room and began to have sex with them. Seeing Steele was enjoying herself, Sui Xiong didn't want to disturb her, and he began to fly to the place where Master Trian lived.

It only took him a short while to arrive at Master Trian's house, and he saw the tree wall was still there. Clearly, Master Trian didn't want to see anyone.

But, Sui Xiong could not wait for tomorrow; he thought the materials and tasks he had with himself would definitely change Master Trian's mind.

Sui Xiong remembered that when he was in college, no matter how arrogant or unsocial a professor was, as long as he heard news like "good task", or"abundant money", he would immediately change his attitude. Even if this world was different from the earth, the personality and the way of thinking of the researchers was almost the same. So Sui Xiong believed that since a good task, abundant money or material would also change the scholars' attitude on the earth, it would make Master Trian want to see him.

Then Sui Xiong turned his mind into a invisible wave by using his magic power, and sent it forth. The message he sent was about the research material on the huge viper in the Ancient Wood Waste Swamp.

Soon, the trees began to shake and moved to the both sides, and a path was revealed. Walking on the path, one could see beautiful flowers flourishing on both sides which was really refreshing. In the distance, there was a beautiful three-floor western style building which was Master Trian's house.

Sui Xiong smiled and began to fly along the path.

Immediately, many green vines popped out from both sides and hit him all together; they were like countless vipers going to devour him on the spot or numerous cobwebs that were going to wrap him up.

Sui Xiong was not surprised by this at all, instead he smiled. At the same time, his body gave out a blue light, then the vines were frozen instantly and became strange statues that were hanging in the air.

"Master Trian, you think I am a fool?" Sui Xiong sneered. "Don't think of me as a mortal. I have already seen the bones hidden beneath the flowers!"

No sound came from the house, but Sui Xiong could feel there was a magical power rising from the house. It seemed like Master Trian was creating a large scale magical array.

"Master Trian, I really want to have a chat with you. Are you interested in inventing the potion that can prolong one's lifespan?"

"What… what if… you are a liar?" Sui Xiong was surprised by this sound, since it was not a sound of an old man, but of a terrified woman.

"Who are you? Master Trian must be over a few hundred years old; he couldn't possibly be this young now!"

"I… I am his disciple"

"Where is Master Trian then?" Sui Xiong frowned and flew right toward to the house. "Fine, never mind. I will just leave the material for the task as well as the other materials here, and when he comes back, I shall come again and discuss it with him."

This time, he did not meet any obstacles and easily arrived at the front of the house. He moved one of his tentacles, and, in the blink of an eye, a huge frozen body of a snake appeared on the ground. He moved a tentacle again, and a floating shining memory crystal appeared in the air.

"Okay, take these things away."

"Okay… okay…" the disciple said timidily. Then the door opened. Two metal monster statues as high as two Ray's added together and as sturdy as a big stump walked out. They lifted the frozen snake body together and walked back to the house.

Soon, a monster statue that was as tall as a child came out and held the memory crystal in its hand and went back into the house too.

The door was closed again. Clearly this disciple was determined not to see anyone today.

Sui Xiong turned around and flew straight home, laughing in his mind…

The jellyfish flew slowly in the night sky. As it got farther and farther away from the green tree wall, the trees began to shake and quickly gathered together and formed the wall again.

At last, the disciple on the second floor of the house finally became relieved.

"Gosh— he left at last!"

She had been pretending to be calm, but now she collapsed and began to pant.

"That power, that feeling… could it be the 'legendary monster' that is often mentioned by Teacher Trian? Teacher Trian said that every legendary monster grows by eating numerous creatures, besides, their favorite food is the creature that has mutated and suddenly became intelligent as well…"

The disciple was talking to herself, and her body started to tremble.

"The outside world is really scary! The human would kill a monster, and a powerful monster would kill a weaker one, and even a weak monster would trick another… For me, a extremely weak creature, I should never leave this magical tower!"

"Oh? What are you then?" a sound came out.

The delicate female figure suddenly jumped and knocked into the table next to her. She was in extreme pain, but she did not even dare to make a sound when she saw the floating green jellyfish in front of her.

"How… how… how do you get in here?"

She was trembling so hard that it took her a long time to finish that sentence.

Sui Xiong smiled and waved his tentacles and said, "You are still too young and too naive! As someone who is older than you, I am going to teach you some life experience."

"First and foremost, when you are frightened, you need to be calm or at least act calmly. If you can't talk in a normal way, then just say nothing."

The delicate figure nodded. Suddenly her hat fell off and her hair that was as beautiful as a sapphire was revealed.

"Secondly, never get too close to your enemies, since the closer you are to your enemies, the more danger you are in. We know that if you are in a fight with someone who is far away from you, you may still have a chance to live. If you ever let them get closer to you, you are certain to die."

The delicate figure kept nodding.

"Thirdly, don't ever receive anything from your enemies, and throw it away as far as you can! You received it simply out of your curiosity? You would rather instantly die than not have it? Have you ever heard that once upon a time, there was a kingdom, and the soldiers had been protecting the kingdom for almost a decade. One day, they received a wooden horse that was left by their enemies and took it into the kingdom. They never thought that their enemies would be hiding inside that horse. As soon as the horse was carried into the city, the enemies came out and killed everyone in the town and destroyed the kingdom…"

Hearing this, this delicate figure suddenly screamed. She hurriedly took out a notebook and began to write in it.

Seeing her quickly writing in the notebook, Sui Xiong was amazed and could not help but laugh. Then he asked, "Finished?"

"Yes, teacher!" the delicate figure said.

The next minute, when she realized she had been tricked by Sui Xiong, she immediately threw away the notebook and took out a golden magical scroll, planning to have a big fight with Sui Xiong. Right at this moment, Sui Xiong had already tightly surrounded her with his tentacles.

"Finally, talk too much!" Sui Xiong began to laugh aloud, "You need to remember, most of the bad guys are killed when they talk more than they should!"

Meanwhile, the disciple's body began to shake heavily, and turned into liquid in the blink of an eye. The liquid flew to the ground and then became a young girl.

A blue Slime with a human form.

"Slime?!" Sui Xiong was totally stunned by the blue slime standing in front of him. "Are you really a Slime?"

Although she had managed to get herself out of Sui Xiong's tentacles, she had also lost the magical scroll that could probably save her life. Now she was staring at Sui Xiong, terrified.

"Fine, stop acting like this. I meant to cooperate well with you." Sui Xiong had no way but to hold up all his tentacles in surrender, "I was just joking with you earlier."

Sui Xiong then looked around and asked, "Where is Master Trian? Is he really not here? No way… why would he, an advanced wizard who is going to step into the legendary world, leave his own magical tower? Don't tell me this house is not a magical tower. I can even feel the magic power pond beneath the house."

This girl was silent for a while. Feeling that she could never defeat this jellyfish, she just sat down on the ground and said gently, "Teacher Trian… has passed away."

"What?!" Sui Xiong was surprised. "You must be kidding me! Judging from the magical tower as well as the huge magical array around this house, he is almost going to step into the legendary world! He died at such an important time? I may look a bit funny since I have a round head, but never think I am someone who can be easily tricked. I have already seen too much and done too much! You must have heard of the God of Redemption. I am good friends with him…"

"Teacher Trian died sixteen years ago."

Sui Xiong became silent for a long time, and he sighed, "I am really sorry to hear this."

This girl nodded gently and became silent again. She began to sob.

Sui Xiong shook his head and stopped in front of her. He shrunk his body, so he looked a bit shorter than she was.

"Have a good cry. You can lean on my shoulder if you don't mind."

This girl hesitated for a while, but still she leaned on his shoulder and began to cry very hard.

"… You mean Master Trian had been in poor condition for a very long time?"

"Yes."

"He meant to have a final attempt at getting into the legendary world, but he failed and died later?"

"Yes."

"He created you in his lab; in fact, you did not have any intelligence in the first place, but you somehow became intelligent. Master Trian made you his assistant and officially admitted you are his disciple when he died. He also named you Wendy and left his intelligence, as well as this magical tower, to you, and you have been living here ever since, am I right?"

"Yes."

"You have already acquired the spagirism, the technique of instilling the magic into a certain weapon and the medical knowledge, but because you are a Slime, you can only do all these with the help of the magical pagoda?"

"Yes."

"All these years, you have been maintaining the magical pagoda in good condition and making money by helping others to refine the gold and make magical weapons?"

"Yes."

"Did Master Trian ever tell you that 'the humans will kill any monster they see'; 'the humans would boil up an intelligent slime and make it some sort of medicine'; 'everyone outside this house is a liar, only I would never hurt you'?"

"Yes."

Sui Xiong sighed and said, "It is really a bizarre thing that a simple-minded creature like you are still alive. It seems like the God of Fortune indeed prefers silly people!"

"You mean that Teacher Trian lied?" Wendy said rather unhappily.

Sui Xiong could feel that she respected and admired the late Master Trian very much, but she had gone to the extreme in this regard. Since she even believed that 'the humans would boil up a slime with intelligence and make it some sort of medicine', which was just bullsh*t— seriously.

You were also an expert on making potions and refining the gold. You had no idea what medicines could be made from a slime?

Sui Xiong had tried to change Wendy's mind, but she was too stubborn. Soon, Sui Xiong had no choice but to give up on trying.

Luckily, apart from her extreme stubbornness in this regard, she was easy to be persuaded in other regards— or she was actually quite feeble. Sui Xiong easily made her agree to cooperate with him. Sui Xiong left his doppelgänger there to help Wendy manage the magic tower. Wendy had decided to stop all business in the coming months and agreed to focus on analyzing the body of the snake to find out how it could live for so long, so she could make some potion that could prolong one's lifespan.

As a kind and merciful person, Sui Xiong would never to get rid of Wendy as soon as she had finished her work, so when he was making the contract, he made three plans on how to distribute the profits:

Plan A: Wendy could determine how much this formula would cost, and Sui Xiong would pay it off.

Plan B: In the future, Wendy would get ten percent of each potion whenever a potion was sold.

Plan C: Sui Xiong would give her one-fourth of the net profit in each period of half a year since she was the one who managed the potion business.

In a word, Sui Xiong was the one who owned the formula, and all the profit that was made via this formula should be his. He was the one to decide how to manage the potion business. Moreover, any other new formulas Wendy made in the future, as long as they had something to do with this formula, Sui Xiong should be the first one to buy it. Even if he did not want those new formulas, she would have to keep them secret for at least fifty years and could never sell it to anyone. If she did not want to do business with Sui Xiong anymore and decide to end the contract, the formula of the first potion she made belonged to Sui Xiong.

There were other rules, such as "one could never make any bad comments about the other"; "both sides should work together to advertise and sell it" and so on.

"What right do I have then?" Wendy said unhappily.

"The publishing right. You can decide if you want to publicize your formula; the right of paternity, you are the one to decide the name of this potion; the right to revise, you have every right to change your formula; and finally the right of owning this formula, I can never change your formula," Sui Xiong said smoothly. "See, you are the boss in this business."

"… Why do I feel like I have been tricked by you."

"Never," Sui Xiong smiled. "In the past, I used to draw pictures for a certain company, all the contents I mentioned earlier were in that contract too."

"You once drew pictures for a company?" Wendy was curious about this episode.

"I did, but that was a long time ago…" Sui Xiong smiled and stopped talking.

He stared at the moon in a melancholy way and sighed deeply.

My hometown… Could I come back to your cradle in this life?

Chapter 74: Chapter 74

Translator: Sigma Editor: Sigma

When Sui Xiong went back to the village, the villagers were still sleeping, even Ray and Steele were not awake.

Steele's schedule was clearly very different from the average. Even when it was already noon and the village was bustling, she was still sleeping in her room.

"Should I wake her up?" Ray asked, seeing Sui Xong's facial expression. Sui Xiong immediately knew he meant to chant to the incantation of the golden hoop to wake her up.

Sui Xiong could see what was going on in her room, so he shook his head and denied his request.

In her room, Steele was sleeping with three other male tree fairies. If Ray chanted the incantation of golden hoop, Steele would instantly wake up and scream due to the sudden pain. The three men would be startled and might suffer the worst erectile dysfunction in their whole life.

"I don't intend to make these men suffer erectile dysfunction." Ray said, "Anyway, let's pay a visit to the Master Trian instead."

Sui Xiong smiled and told him that he had already paid Master Trian a visit last night. Master Trian had left his house to visit his friends and was making the preparation for a important experiment. He would not come back for a long while and had also stopped his business.

"What?!" Ray was totally stunned. He stood there still for a long time.

Master Trian had left his house? He had stopped doing business? How am I going to instill the magic into my weapons?!

He contemplated for a long while, then forced out a smile.

It was no use to think if Ray could persuade Master Trian to change his mind, since Master Trian was not even at home!

"Then, what should we do?" Ray asked.

"We'd better make our departure to the south, to the Mifata Federation, you should come with me, as for Steele… I mean to find a place for her to stay. But I am afraid when we finish our business, we may see a bunch of medicine residues…" Sui Xiong smiled."So we should all leave together."

Ray agreed with him, but he was very curious about what Sui Xiong had just put. He asked, "What do you mean by saying 'medicine residues'? Is it the name of a certain monster?"

Sui Xiong laughed rather mysteriously but gave no further explanation. Instead he asked Ray to pack up and agreed to explain to him when everything was packed and tidy. To get the explanation, Ray quickly packed up.

Then Sui Xiong said that eating breakfast was also part of the preparation before departure, and promised to tell him by the time he ate the breakfast.

Ray didn't intend to argue with Sui Xiong, so he went to a restaurant next to the hostel and ordered a traditional breakfast that a fairy would normally eat.

The wine was made from a rare fruit in the Ancient Forest that was very delicious, but the maize porridge and the flavourless dried beast meat didn't go well with the wine. This had annoyed Sui Xiong who came from the country of delicious cuisine and made him complain a lot.

"The wine has not been carefully chosen! There are no pickles! And the meat tastes like water! They don't even have noodles or snacks; moreover, the meat has not even been boiled— Can you believe this?! Can this be called cuisine?"

"It doesn't taste that bad, besides, the fruit wine is really good."

"No one should drink wine at this hour! Don't you know that we should eat healthy! A breakfast shouldn't be too oily or salty, and it should be nutritious and easy to digest. We should find a balance between the taste and our health! Haven't you ever seen the documentary 'A Bite of China'?"

"Is that a book? I have never heard of it."

Sui Xiong meant to continue to argue with him on this, but suddenly he realized that he was not on the earth; this was not China. He was in another world in which the culture and the tradition were completely different. The things he considered pretty normal might be something bizarre here in this world.

It was wrong to ask anyone to do anything by his own standards. Even if he forced his followers to accept the Chinese food culture, he could never change this world into his hometown.

Maybe… it is my nostalgia towards my hometown that has made me so grumpy these days.

Sui Xiong had been arguing with Ray, but now he was just quietly floating in the air and sighing.

Ray could see that Sui Xiong was feeling a bit emotional, so he dropped the topic and quietly finished his breakfast. Then he came back to the hostel and asked Sui Xiong about the "medicine residues."

Sui Xiong smiled and said, "As for the medicine residues, there was a story behind it: once upon a time, there was a kingdom where all the maids were drowsy all day long. The kind king sent for a doctor to see to them. The doctor wrote a few words on a paper 'some vigorous and strong men'…"

Ray nodded, and interrupted, "I see."

"What?! You already know what the medicine residues mean?" Sui Xiong was surprised, since it was the first time he met someone who instantly knew the meaning of the "medicine residues" when the story had just begun.

Ray pointed to Steele's room and said, "That woman slept with a few men last night. They are the 'medicine residues', aren't they?"

Meanwhile, the door opened, and Steele came out. She was wearing thin and rather transparent pajamas and was basically naked. She looked much more radiant than ever before.

The three men were still lying on the bed. They had already woken up but still looked very tired, as if they had been doing some tiring work for a long time.

"See, isn't this clear enough?"

Sui Xiong looked at the exhausted men as well as Steele who was radiant and energetic, and he also couldn't help laughing.

"Oh? Are we going to leave now?" Steele asked when he saw the luggage beside Ray's feet. Then she said nothing and went straight back to her room and began to pack.

She was not a stupid woman and she knew clearly her role in this team. Sui Xiong was the one to give orders; Ray was the one to put them into practice, and she was just a plain decoration.

Although Steele had become a strong holy spirit, if she were to fight Ray, she was sure to lose in less than a few seconds. After all, Ray was someone who dared to face a green dragon and could defeat it simply with his imposing manner!

As for Sui Xiong, who was a God, his orders should never be disobeyed.

In this regard, Steele did better than Ray. Whenever Sui Xiong gave some orders that were difficult to conduct, Ray would protest, contradict Sui Xiong, or simply refused to follow his orders. While Steele would only make some complaints and followed his orders.

She had her own principle which was "if I can't have sex anymore, I would rather die."

In fact, Steele was really a talented woman. If it were not for her sl*ttiness, Romon could not possibly usurp her place. But now she was very content with her present life.

She was not an aristocrat anymore, but she had met a God who she could rely on. When she died, she could go to Sui Xiong's Holy Kingdom.

Besides, she was very powerful and had a strong body. During this journey, she had many pleasant experiences— well, not every experience was a happy one, but those good memories were enough to make her forget those unhappy memories.

Steele didn't have many things to pack, so she quickly packed up. Then she checked her clothes and walked to the bed and kissed the three men.

"I really had a wonderful time last night! You are the best men I have ever seen!" she looked so beautiful and attractive that even an eighty year old man would be seduced. He would suffer a cerebral hemorrhage later, but that would be a totally different thing.

When Steele kissed the three men they immediately become very energetic again as if they had eaten some magical pills, even their flaccid p*nises become as hard as iron once again.

But Steele had no time to have another round with them, so she flirted with them and then left, leaving these three men on the bed.

Maybe last night was the best night they would ever possibly have again in this life, and they would never forget it even when they died.

"What have you done?" Ray asked.

As far as he was concerned, a night hag was not that powerful, but was very dangerous. It always seduced a man and absorbed the vitality from him by having sex with him. Some advanced hags could absorb every ounce of vitality from a man or turn him into a dried corpse simply by kissing him.

For Steele, she did not even absorb the vitality from the three men, instead she instilled a lot vigor into their body and made them become energetic again. This was completely different from what a night hag would normally do.

"I have no idea about the so-called night hag," Steele said. "They made me have a wonderful time, isn't it right that I should give them something in return?"

"If a man and a woman can't enjoy sex, they would feel rather unhappy later, right?"

Although Ray didn't want to admit he also thought so, Steele sounded very persuasive.

As for her competence that was different from that of a night hag, he had learned to accept this fact without being surprised.

…I think it was Sui Xiong who had turned her into a creature who looked like a night hag but had a different competence.

After all his experiences, he had learned to not be surprised.

Chapter 75: Chapter 75

Travelling in the Ancient Forest was much easier than travelling in the Ancient Wood Waste Swamp.

In fact, there were vipers, ferocious beasts, and scary monsters, but at least the soil under their feet was solid. They could even see some paths in the forest and didn't need to be so careful with every step they took.

Steele was flying in the forest and trying to be a good scout while Ray was walking and chatting with Sui Xiong, who now just looked like a green hat on Ray's head.

"Since we are now in the Ancient Forest, we'd better go to the Old Fairy Temple and pay a visit to the greatest oracle in this world." Ray said. "But we are too far away from the temple that is located on the eastern side of this forest, and it is close to the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs. If we depart from here…" Ray was calculating how long it would take, "it would take us more than half a month."

"Never mind," Sui Xiong said. "We should focus on our business. We should go and find the Knight Parne and get a lord to manage my future Holy Kingdom. Then we would have enough time to go anywhere we want to go."

"Is the Knight Parne really very powerful?" Ray was a bit doubtful. "You almost crossed the whole Main Plate to find him."

"In fact, I don't know either, but to develop my church, I need some talented people. I don't care if he is really good at building a manor or not. I think I have to ask him to join my team myself."

Ray was stunned by his words, and was silent for a long while. He said, "I never thought you would have already known how politics or public relationships work among us!"

"Once upon a time, there was a kingdom. The king desperately wanted to have a good horse, so he sent a very capable officer to get him one. The officer had been searching for a good horse for almost three months when he finally heard news about a good horse, but when he arrived at that place, the horse had died already. The officer bought the horse's bones with half of the money he had taken with him. When he took the bones back to the kingdom, the king was furious and asked him why he had done this. The officer answered, 'Anyone who wants to sell their good horse would definitely come to see Your Majesty when they know that Your Majesty would be willing to spend so much money on just the bones of a good horse. I believe Your Majesty will soon get a good horse.' In less than a year, people came to see the king one by one to sell their horses."

After hearing this story, Ray was silent for a long while. Then he said, "Recently, Your Majesty has frequently mentioned the 'kingdom that is far away from here' where there are so many oracles who left so many thought provoking stories, stories that I have never heard of before… Your Majesty, where on earth is this kingdom? If I may, can I pay a visit there?"

Sui Xiong forced a smile and said, 'If possible, I would want to know where it is, and if I can go there. I mean that when the time comes, if you really want to, you can come with me."

"But… once you come with me, you may never be able to come back here."

Ray shrugged his shoulders, showing that he didn't care if he could come back or not. For him, there was nothing that he cared about in this world.

Sui Xiong instantly knew Ray's thought.

He used to be a prince, how could he fall into this situation? When I establish my church, should I help him to reclaim his status? I might even help him to become a king…

"Can I make this creature my pet?" Steele asked.

Sui Xiong was startled and stopped thinking. He saw Steele was happily playing with a magical creature she had just caught.

Sui Xiong felt this creature was familiar, and then he realized it was a slime.

Master Trian also kept a slime as a pet, and the slime had its own intelligence that it would use to show itself in the form of a delicate young girl. Before Master Trian died, he named it "Wendy" and gave all of his inheritance to it. Wendy was worthy of being the sole recipient of the inheritance from Master Trian. It was also an expert on the technique of instilling magic into a certain weapon, the spagirism and the medical stuff. It only had one disadvantage, and that was that it was not that powerful. After all… a slime was just a slime.

In this world, a slime had one of the lowest combat effectiveness, even an adult could fight with four to five slimes at one time. There were some mutated slimes that were more powerful, but since a slime itself is really weak, even if they were mutated, they could never be that powerful.

For example, Wendy was a super strong figure among her peers, and there was no slime that could defeat her. But once she left the magic tower, didn't use a magic scroll or other magical instruments, she could only have a small fight with a green adventurer for a few rounds.

The slime that Steele caught was also a mutated slime. It was much smaller than an average slime, about the size of her palm. It was as green as a leaf and was quite beautiful. Sui Xiong could feel that this slime was much stronger than an average slime.

In the Ancient Forest, slimes were commonly seen magical creatures. They could see another one at the bottom of a nearby tree. It was eating a worm and was at least hundred times bigger than the one Steele caught, but its combat effectiveness was less than one-tenth it.

"This slime you caught is really rare." Ray stared at the tiny green slime that was in Steele's palm, and said, "It is really beautiful! It is just like a piece of artwork!"

"Yes, it is. I saw it by accident, and I tried very hard to catch it," Steele happily said. "When I caught it, it fought back, but once I fed it a candy, it instantly calmed down, as if it had become a pure young boy…"

She happily gave another dirty example, then she gave one more. The two examples were so dirty that Ray could not help but angrily stare at her and fall speechless.

Compared with Steele, who almost became a holy spirit of an evil God, a pure bad guy like Ray, who knew of nothing but killing people and burning their houses, was just a pure child!

Thinking of this, Ray secretly backed away a bit in case he would be contaminated by her dirty mind.

Sui Xiong was fine about all this. When he was surfing on the internet, he had seen countless "kings" of dirty talk and people alike. Compared to that, what Steele had said was basically nothing. Still, he was surprised to see Steele's happy face.

"Steele, I thought you were only interested in having sex. I never thought you were also interested in keeping a pet. Haha. You finally did a thing that every other woman would do!"

Steele smiled and said, "This little thing is not only cute, but it can also change into different forms, as long as I teach it how!"

She was so excited that she began to talk dirty again.

Sui Xiong was silent, while Ray couldn't stand her dirty talk any longer, so he chanted the incantation of the golden hoop.

But, at last, Steele was allowed to keep it, and Sui Xiong warned her not to do anything extreme.

"I won't be hurt by it. It is so tiny," Steele said.

"But we may be traumatized by you!" Sui Xiong and Ray said at the same time.

"Ray, you can chant as you like as soon as she talks dirty again."

"Good! I have been wanting to do this the whole time."

Steele chose not to listen to their conversation, but instead she was occupied with the little slime she had named "Little Green."

Since then, Steele had become much more disciplined. When she was free, she no longer secretly went out to have sex with random guys, but instead she put all her time and energy in playing with Little Green.

She was also teaching it to do something strange: she asked the little slime to change into a p*nis. She also taught it how to become larger or smaller, and how to vibrate. Since this slime was not intelligent at all, it had no idea what all these things meant; however, Sui Xiong and Ray knew what was on her mind…

"Should I chant now?" Ray asked.

"In fact, I also want you to do so, but I feel like it is not right," Sui Xiong sighed. "What excuse have we got then? Abusing the pet?"

Every time the little slime finished its "training", it would get a candy from Steele. Seeing this, Ray let out a long sigh. He was indeed frustrated by this.

A week later, they came across another fairy village.

It was also another village of the tree fairies, but it was larger than the last one. Besides, there were many powerful figures in this village, and Ray could simply count the number simply by his feeling. He also found that there was a very strong figure in a dingy house hidden at the corner of the village. This figure would reveal his power from time to time to frighten some audacious thieves.

Moreover, the atmosphere in this village was very tense. All the fairies wore a weapon. There were also many other fairies living here: for example, the tall, strong suburb fairies who wore armour with the emblem of the God of Fairy. Obviously they were the outsiders.

"What is going on here?" Sui Xiong had also felt very strange, so he poked Steele, who was staring at one of the strong male suburb fairies, with his tentacle and asked her to get some information about this village.

Steele happily agreed. She left her luggage in her room and went out while humming a tune.

A while later, she came back happily and told them all the information she had collected.

"A few days ago, this village was attacked by an evil red dragon. It had destroyed two villages and caught many fairies. The fairies that were walking on the street were actually the tree fairies' friends and relatives. They planned to build a team to kill that dragon to avenge their dead peers and to rescue those that were caught by that dragon."

"I see…" Sui Xiong smiled. "How about we join them?"

Ray and Steele strongly supported Sui Xiong's order.

Ray had long been looking forward to becoming a dragon slayer. When he was a boy, he often dreamed of holding a shield with a carved pattern of a dragon head and wearing an armor of dragon scales, riding a famous horse that was bathed in the blood of a dragon while entering the city gate with numerous people looking at him. He would publicly show the head of the evil dragon, and win countless praise and worship.

Although with the passage of time even if he became a dragon slayer, he would not return home with much wealth; however, at the thought of being able to contribute to the great task of slaying an evil dragon, he could not help but get excited and be determined to try.

If Sui Xiong knew his thoughts, he would certainly match him with the classic Hua Xiong's words,"My big ax is already hungry!"

Steele's idea was different. As a sexologist keen on studying the physiological structures of various male demon beasts, she had always regretted not studying the physiology of dragons. This time by participating in the dragon slaying, she at least had half of a chance of encountering a male dragon, so it could make up for her regret.

Thinking of finally being able to study it well, she could not help having shining eyes and laughed in a low voice.

Looking at the two subordinates who seemed inexplicably excited, Sui thought for a moment and said, "Do you think there is any misunderstanding about this?"

"Misunderstanding?" Ray was stunned for a moment and asked in doubt, "What misunderstanding?"

"What I mean is that we may have misunderstood about dragons attacking villages and eating elves. I know several dragons, but even for the one with the worst character, l may believe rumors that it kills people and burns things, but I really do not believe that it eats people."

"There are good and evil dragons, and what Your Majesty knows are probably good dragons," said Steele.

"Dragons from a good camp are very rare, and more common ones are from the evil camp and neutral camp," Ray said. "But even the dragons from the evil camp will behave themselves in front of Your Majesty. Perhaps this is why your impression of the dragons is good."

"But!" His tone changed dramatically and became serious, "Respecting the strong does not mean respecting the weak. It is very rare to see a strongman like you who communicates mildly with the weak. Even in the same race, fearing the strong and bullying the weak is certainly the case, not to mention when different races are involved. For most people, the giant dragon exists as a natural disaster. It is on the top of all the monsters, and it's the most terrible monster!"

"But that giant dragon might not be evil," Sui said. "We should go find it and communicate with it first."

"But do you know where it is?" Ray asked unconsciously. He could not help laughing. Asking a god this question was just stupid.

So Sui Xiong cast a prophecy spell, wanting to find where the red dragon was, but his spell seemed to be disturbed by something, and he couldn't get an accurate result.

"The giant dragons are generally rich, and they themselves are powerful casters. Using the prophecy magic to deal with them is very difficult to do even for you," Ray advised. "Let's wait and set off after the dragon slaying group is assembled."

Sui Xiong stubbornly shook his head, for he still wanted to go see the dragon and check it out.

When Sui Xiong's stubbornness persisted, Ray and Steele could find no solution. Helplessly, the two could only separately help him inquire about the dragon's dwelling place.

This time, the two went out and hadn't returned for a long time.

Ray did not come back until dinnertime, and he regrettably told Sui Xiong that he had found nothing. The dragon's dwelling place was a mysterious secret. In order to prevent people from going there in secret and alerting the dragon, the information would only be announced when the team actually set off.

Steele had returned at midnight. Clearly she had just taken a shower, but she still seemed very tired and no one knew what she really did during this time.

"I've found out clearly," Steele did not mention her own experience at all, but laughed tiredly and revealed what she had inquired, "that the dragon lives in an underground volcano to the west. An ordinary caravan would find a canyon with a stream after walking westwards for half a month. If people follow the water downstream, they can find a volcano at the end of the stream and the evil dragon is living in a crater. The captured elves are confined in an underground forest at the source of the stream."

Sui Xiong nodded. Examining her look of exhaustion, he could not help but show anger in his eyes.

"They actually do such a thing?! Go! We must punish them!"

Others might not be able to see it, but Sui Xiong had personally reshaped Steele's body and understood her situation at first glance. Over the past few hours she had used many healing spells on herself which led to magical overdrafts, so she was tired.

Why did she need to use so many spells of healing? Only one could imagine!

If she had not been a half Holy Spirit with a strong physique and magic of healing, she would already have died.

"No, no," Steele shook her head, rejecting Sui's advice. "It was just a fair trade, and we made an agreement in advance. They did what they wanted, and I found out what I wanted to know. So it was fair and reasonable."

"How so?!" Sui was angry.

Ray also realized it at this time. He sighed deeply and said, "They finally told Steele the information, so this was fair."

"Your understanding of 'fairness' is very problematic!" Sui Xiong could not help shaking his head, but he did not think it was a good idea to say anything when he saw Ray's and Steele's looks.

However, he secretly decided that if possible he would talk to the god in charge of "fairness" in this world about what real fairness was!

"I should not have asked you to inquire about the information!" Looking at Steele's haggard look, he could not help but blame himself, "It was insanely stupid to send you, a weak and solitary woman, to go out at night to inquire about the information!"

"It was not your fault, Your Majesty," said Steele smiling with a bit of disobedience in her eyes. "Actually, if it had not been for the Jinguquan that bound me… this would have been an easy task!"

"If you really think I did very hard work, just temporarily unlock the confinement and let me indulge myself for a moment, ok?"

Looking at her eyes that were full of fatigue and anticipation, Sui Xiong waved his tentacles without hesitation, and then the Jinguquan flashed and disappeared without a trace. At the same time, a powerful divine force was infused into her body, leaving her in a superb state and with a magical defense that was sufficient to keep her safe.

"I will find the dragon and negotiate with it. Ray, you take care of her in case anything unexpected happens."

After making such a command, the floating jellyfish flew out the window and toward the western sky.

Sui Xiong used his full strength to fly this time. Rather than flying in a leisurely, flowing way, he was in a different condition. His magical power changed into a strong driving force that made the green, floating jellyfish rush into the air. He traveled fast enough to shock the fastest flying birds.

Perhaps only those flying demon beasts that competed for the title of "Chief of the Sky" might fly at this speed.

It took only a short time before a scar-like canyon appeared in front of him on the ground. Night had no effect on him, and the gurgling stream at the bottom of the canyon acted as a signpost, giving him a clear indication of direction.

Sui Xiong reduced his speed and height and went down along the stream. Because his speed was greatly reduced, it took him almost half an hour to fly to the end of the canyon.

At the end of the canyon, there was a large crack that extended toward the underground. The crack was very spacious and seemed like a gateway to the underground world. The stream flowed into the crack as if it was being swallowed by a horrific monster.

Of course, Sui Xiong was not afraid of anything. He flew directly into the crack and went into the underground world.

Before his space travel, Sui Xiong had read a lot of Western fantasy works that had designed a curious but magnificent underground world with all sorts of strange races and a perverted society full of intrigue that tried its best to maintain the superficial order. However, in this world, there was no such underground world, only some caves and cracks that were not so large.

Of course, such an environment could not provide adequate living resources. Therefore, those who lived in these caves and cracks were the losers in the competition of survival in the earthly world. Some of them lived here because of their lack of power, but mostly because of their evil deeds. The latter were not tolerated by the order of the earthly world, and they could only run to hide underground embarrassedly.

For example, the dragon. Sui Xiong had not flown for long a time before he saw its figure.

At the deepest part of the cave, there was a ring-shaped crater that didn't spray out any smoke. Only the seething lava at the bottom showed that it was not dead silent.

There was a huge figure floating in the lava. It was far bigger than the huge dragons that Sui Xiong had encountered before. It extended at least 50 meters from its head to its feet. Because its wings were not extended, its wingspan couldn't be judged. But you could imagine how horrible it was when it extended its wings, flew over a village, and breathed fire, burning whatever was on the ground.

Amazingly, it seemed that Sui Xiong had seen this dragon before.

Previously at the viscount's territory of Geerteng, he had spied in the memory of a noble with an outstanding life, a brawny man whose strength had reached an "advanced" level and was slowly approaching the mortal people's limits. Deep in the memory of this strong man, there was a fear of a brutal red dragon, and the red dragon in his memory seemed to be the same dragon that was lying asleep in the pool of lava at the moment.

If they were the same, then Sui knew its identity: the famous evil dragon, Uherskreider, known as the "Brutal Burner."

Even among the evil dragons, this one was considered the most notorious of them all. Instead of collecting money, it was keen on attacking the villages where the humans, elves, dwarves and all the weaker creatures inhabited. The attack was not for the purpose of collecting money but for the sake of destruction and burning at its will. It was keen on seeing those weak creatures wail mournfully and be burnt alive in the flames. After the attack, it often lied in the place where it committed such crimes, and ate women and children as its snacks while enjoying the tragic scene of people struggling in the fire and dying.

Because it had committed too much evil, this one had long been the target of a few strongmen. More than ten gods had given orders that it should be killed. The reward for killing it had also been accumulating exponentially. If a knight could behead it and change the reward into gold coins, you could bury the knight with his horse in the pile of gold coins leaving no trace.

However, it was still alive, and up until now there had been many heroes who had died fighting against it. It was even said that the saint of a certain church used the Technique of Descending Gods so that the power of the gods would descend onto the earthly world, but the saint was also beaten back.

This evil dragon was regarded as a banner of the evil forces among the villains in the main plane.

Sui Xiong carefully observed the sleeping dragon, thinking about how to deal with it.

Chapter 77: Chapter 77

Sui Xiong was not sure that the red dragon who was sleeping in the lava was the super-villain Uherskreider. But if so, as a decent man, or as a decent jellyfish, he felt he had a responsibility to do the job of God: crack the head of this villain, pull out the soul and put it in the blue icy fire of his own supernatural power, and give it a punishment for a century.

But if not, it was a different story.

"We cannot let the bad guys go, but we must not wrong good people first, and 'innocent until proven guilty' is one of the hallmarks of the progress of the rule of law," Sui Xiong murmured secretly and began searching around the crater.

To convict someone, you needed witnesses and material evidence.

He quickly found the goal: a small underground forest located at the end of the stream, beside an abyss that no one knew where it led to.

Because of the lack of sunshine, the trees here were bizarre. They were neither tall nor lush and gave off a sickly weird feeling. In the woods, a group of ragged, wretched, embarrassed elves that looked like Somali refugees were lying one by one in a disorderly way.

"Well, I have witnesses and material evidence." Watching these apparently captive elves, Sui Xiong noticed a lot of burns on them and nodded slightly.

These burns could be considered fairly reliable material evidence, and the next thing to do was to find a witness to ask them in detail.

Of course, these elves were not as careless as to be fast asleep beside the evil dragon, but they had been hypnotized by the power of magic. A huge magical formation shrouded the entire forest, and all the elves were covered inside. Sweeping his eyes over it, Sui Xiong found that this magic formation was not sophisticated, and nothing more than a hypnotic magic. But a series of special structures enhanced the magical effect of it, so that elves who under normal circumstances should not be affected by the hypnotic magic were actually beaten down by it, and not even a single elf managed to resist its effect.

If the red dragon designed this magic formation, then it could be really versatile.

Of course, the dragon community was full of versatile dragons. In fact, as long as dragons lived long enough, it was difficult for them not to be versatile. When the growth of strength relied on the passage of time to accumulate slowly, nothing else could be a pastime except learning a variety of skills to pass the time.

Oh, the giant dragons had other ways too like sleeping a lot. They could sleep for three or five years on end, so that time naturally passed in this way.

In order to be able to increase strength while sleeping, the giant dragons would choose areas that suited their own attributes. For example, the red dragon would choose to sleep in the lava; the white dragon would choose to sleep in the ice cave; the rock dragon would choose to sleep inside a heap of stones, the ice dragon would choose to sleep in the ice…

The red dragon that might be Uherskreider in front Sui's eyes was a good example.

Sui Xiong observed for a while, raised a few tentacles, quickly drew a few magic symbols in the air, and then made the magic flow and create a tiny formation firmly embedded in the original magic formation. As if it just dug a hole in it, a blue smoke wound its way in. It, like a tentacle, wrapped an elf that obviously had relatively strong life energy and pulled him out.

Sui Xiong wrapped his tentacle around that elf and fixed the elf on his own back. Then he withdrew his spell, carrying the elf quickly out of the underground cave and back to the ground.

Then, he cast a magic spell to wake the elf.

The communication between a jellyfish and an elf, honestly speaking, was not very happy because the elf was already frightened and unusually panicked. If not for Sui Xiong's strong suppression, maybe he would have already panicked and escaped to tell his tribe.

However, in the face of the strange jellyfish which was abominably strong, he found his resistance ineffective and could only cooperate obediently.

When he learned that Sui Xiong came to cause trouble for the evil red dragon and was verifying whether he had committed a real crime, he was extremely excited and even he gestured with his hands and feet to express the resentment in his heart.

According to the elf, the red dragon came without warning. Until then, there had been no communication between the village and the dragon, let alone conflicts. As they lived in a village located in the depths of the Forest of Remote Antiquity, they had lived a peaceful life with little contact with the outside world except for caravans that passed by regularly.

The elf emphasized the word "little" several times, which showed that he was very concerned about the attack that was launched for no reason, and he also felt very indignant— unexpected disasters were the most unacceptable.

Then, the red dragon attacked them. It attacked in the same way as that of the legendary "Brutal Burner" Uherskreider: it first indiscriminately breathed fire that burned the village into a sea of flames; then it lied beside the sea of fire, and caught a few young elves and ate them alive while enjoying the tragic scene in which villagers struggled in the sea of fire.

At that time, this elf with good strength luckily escaped from the sea of fire. Seeing this scene, he desperately rushed toward the dragon, wanting at least to leave a wound on the cruel behemoth.

Then, he was battered unconscious and he had been unconscious until just now.

As the elf said these things, he became sadder and angrier. His fists were tightly held; his nails pierced his palm with excessive force, and blood dripped drop by drop. However, he did not notice it.

His body trembled constantly not because of fear but because of grief and anger that was difficult to suppress.

If at the moment he had been in front of the dragon, he would have certainly not hesitated in rushing toward it and fighting against the villain!

Sui Xiong, while listening silently, suppressed the anger in his mind, and forced himself to be calm. He carefully watched the mind of the elf, vigilant against possible lies. But the elf's heart was full of anger and pain without any conspiracies or lies.

The brutal scenes reflected in the elf's mind were also very similar to what Sui Xiong saw in the brawny aristocrat's mind in the territory of Geerteng. They were just clearer, crueler, and more evil.

Sui Xiong repeatedly looked at them, and finally closed his eyes, throwing a ball of ice fog on his head.

That brutal scene made him angry. He might have been frantic if he hadn't calmed himself down.

This could not work. One must be calm and then one can fight!

"Great, now I am sure it would not be an unjust mistake," the floating jellyfish sneered and raised his tentacles.

A blue light blinked, and the elf immediately felt a deep fatigue in his heart. He could not have even resisted for a moment before he became fast asleep again.

Sui Xiong rolled his tentacles and held the elf that almost fell to the ground. Thinking for a moment, Sui gave the elf a memory-weaving spell, then made a temporary small shelter in the tree next to him, and put him in the tree.

"Have a good sleep, and when you wake up, your nightmare will end."

He was very confident of his own spell. The elf definitely couldn't wake up within two or three hours, and even if it did wake up, it would also lose the memory from that period of time.

In this way, the whole thing could be done quietly and would not be noticed by anyone.

"I am doing a good thing by not leaving my name, so I really deserve to be considered a good person that had grown up singing the song, 'Follow the good example of Lei Feng'!"

After coming to the cave for the second time, Sui Xiong no longer hesitated in flying straight towards the red dragon that was fast asleep in the lava.

"Uherskreider, you have done all kinds of evils, and today you will reap what you have sown!"

The last time he did not really come close to the crater because obviously several magic formations were operating beside the huge dragon's body so as to provide plenty of early warning and defense. If he had rashly gone close to it, he would have triggered the magic formation and woken the giant dragon.

Awakened from sleep, the giant dragon had a bad temper. Graupel could prove that. Unless Snow Flake was present, she would be furious when awakened even if it was her brother that awakened her.

Before Sui Xiong was not sure whether this red dragon was a bad guy, so of course he did not want to accidentally provoke the dragon.

But this time it was different, as he came to provoke it!

No, he didn't come to provoke it, but he came to get rid of this villain and uphold justice on behalf of God!

The floating jellyfish's hat-sized body trembled and suddenly expanded and now was hundreds of times bigger than before. It immediately turned into a monster that was more than ten meters wide. If its tentacles were fully extended, they would provide sufficient force for it to firmly wrap the dragon.

Although a hand-to-hand battle might not be necessary, it was always better to be prepared in advance.

Sure enough, when he was still some distance away from the crater, magic lights suddenly lit up the ground, and a fantastic magic formation appeared around him.

Glancing at them briefly, Sui Xiong knew how they worked— they had a triple effect: alert, bind, and curse. They were able to wake up the originally sleeping dragon and provide it with absolutely favorable conditions to launch an attack.

The magic lights turned into black chains and stretched toward Sui Xiong, attempting to wrap him. These chains were dark black and revealed a dangerous and heart-throbbing feeling. From the first look, you would know they were not a good thing.

However, Sui Xiong waved his tentacles without any fear. They turned into blade-like blue lights that hit against the chains made of magic. With clear sounds, the chains suddenly all fell apart along with the magic formation. They did not have the slightest effect.

No, they had made an effect, for at least they accomplished the task of alarming the dragon.

The sleeping dragon that was sitting and floating in the lava was awakened!

The giant red dragon suddenly opened its eyes with magic lights shining on its body.

Circle after circle of light continuously emerged, and several layers of magic armor immediately appeared on the dragon's body. Moreover, several glittering magic light balls circled it like satellites.

"These are magic spells of triggering, but there are so many of them… This guy is not only a villain but also a powerful caster!" Sui Xiong secretly felt surprised and alert.

As we all know, the casters were the most terrible enemy. They had a strong instantaneous explosiveness, excellent field control and support, and the ability to escape that was beyond anyone's imagination. Those who were advanced casters must have one or two pre-scheduled magic spells, mostly spells of transmission, which would be triggered as long as a certain condition was met. They would immediately take effect without anyone chanting spells. And in their magical tower, the number of spells that could be triggered would increase by a few times.

At the moment, what Sui Xiong saw was an incredible scene.

Chapter 78: Chapter 78

Translator: Sigma Editor: Sigma

In general, adventurers who chose to fight with a superior caster would never choose to fight inside the magic tower and would only choose encounters. This was because in the case of being caught off guard, the weak physique and slow reaction of the mages would become a huge weakness. Every once in a while, there would be a senior mage killed, and most of them were even killed by enemies whose strength was far inferior.

However, when the caster was a dragon, weak strength was compensated by the powerful body of the dragon. The problem of insufficient magical power was also solved by the blood flowing from the dragon. It was simply perfect.

It was almost impossible to kill such an opponent.

It was not uncommon for warrior-type giant dragons to be killed, but it was rare for magic-type giant dragons to be killed. The only reason was that they were so powerful.

Although Sui Xiong already knew that Uherskreider was a magic-type dragon, it's magic attainments were somewhat beyond the expectation of Sui Xiong. It was actually quite high.

Fortunately, he had already made good preparation in advance.

In accordance with the scheduled plan, Sui Xiong cast a series of three powerful spells.

He waved his tentacle and cast the first spell. Gusts of cold air condensed into dozens of sharp ice thorns and flew whistling toward the dragon. Instead of just hitting the dragon, they formed a fan shape that enveloped the dragon and a large area around its body.

This spell was enough to knock down dozens of well-equipped adventurers in one breath, but for Sui Xiong and the evil dragon, it was an opening address that could only be regarded as a greeting.

They were used for defense methods such as sweep deflection, blurring, illusion, etc., and they could expel the evil dragons from places where they possibly hid.

The second spell to follow was dozens of light balls of various colors, which would cause damage to various attributes and effectively destroy the dragon's protective spells.

The third spell was the first to arrive. It was only a bleak ray, but it suddenly spread in the air, and turned into a huge magic formation, covering almost the entire crater.

With the emergence of this magic formation, it seemed that countless chains emerged in the surrounding space and completely locked up the space.

This was the most important spell, space locking.

This was a must-do when fighting against senior casters. Otherwise, as they fought, opponents would directly use the spell of transmission to escape when they felt the situation was not good.

Sui Xiong did not intend to let the dragon escape. Since he decided to eradicate this villain, he must first cut off its escape route!

In the face of Sui Xiong's triple attack of magic spells, the evil dragon responded in turn.

Most people would feel sleepy for a while after they were awakened, but the evil dragon Uherskreider did not! When it was awakened it started to prepare spells. Different from Sui, it needed a very powerful spell that required some time.

The rainstorm-like ice thorns fell fiercely, and their vague illusion disappeared. Their real body emerged in a farther place. Then those light balls that should have missed the target circled around and whistled to offset their defensive spells.

When all these light balls disappeared, there was only a handful of remaining defensive spells on the dragon.

But it's spells had also completed their task.

The giant dragon's lava red eyes dazzled and turned into two scarlet rays, and flew directly to the giant jellyfish floating in the air.

"You who are from the sea, see how powerful I am!"

Accompanied by the announcement of the will of the evil dragon, the scarlet rays came head-on towards Sui's face.

The spells traveled ridiculously fast, allowing no time for dodging or resistance. Sui Xiong only felt that with a slight tremble of his body, he was hit by the rays.

The multicolored lights continued to emerge from him and turned into countless continuously cracking tiny lightning bolts.

He originally used magic to float in the air, but he suddenly felt his body tremble, and the magic in his entire body even stagnated. The fixed magic of floating also lost its effect, and he fell straight toward the lava below him.

This was one of the most common means used by casters in battles called "Magic of Removal." However, the spell cast by the evil dragon was far more powerful than ordinary magic.

Sui Xiong was shocked. Just before he mobilized his magic to float in the air once again, he felt his whole body grow hot. He felt that all of his blood had become searing hot and seemed to boil in the next second.

"Is this the spell of withering? How could it be so powerful?! No, this is linked with the spell of removal— spell chain? No, they are the same spell…"

Sui Xiong immediately recognized the effect of this spell on himself, but in an instant, he denied his guess.

The spell of withering that made the water in the enemy's body evaporate could be regarded as a very overbearing spell, and it was especially fatal to the jellyfish, whose body consisted mostly of water. This showed that the red dragon did not only know brutality but was also full of wisdom of fighting.

However, the power of this spell was only for "mages." For the strongmen in the legendary realm, though it was still a powerful spell, it was absolutely not dangerous. Especially, for the powerful legendary creatures, this kind of magic was unlikely to cause too serious of damage as long as one's physical constitution was sound enough to endure it.

Moreover, Sui Xiong's physique was far beyond that of legendary creatures. If it was the spell of withering, then it wouldn't have a serious effect on his body even accompanied with a super magic skill "Ultimate Effect of Spell." It would only make him feel a bit of pain for a moment.

This spell could actually make his whole body hot and give him a premonition of blood boiling. If he did not immediately suppress it, this premonition would soon become a reality.

The spell of withering was definitely not comparable to such a powerful spell. This was just like the comparison between Frost Rays and the Rays of Extreme Coldness that were totally different although they all brought about cold airs.

If not for Sui Xiong's sufficiently powerful physique, perhaps now he would have been seriously injured if not dead.

And the dragon was also quite cunning. Its enhanced version of the spell of withering was a fusion of two spells, with the Magic of Removal at the beginning effectively disrupting the magic of defense of the target and give full play to the spell of withering to kill the target with one hit.

"It's really vicious!" Sui Xiong secretly sighed.

However, he still underestimated the legendary dragon that bullied the whole world. Its magic was much more than that.

The next moment, Sui Xiong understood the real danger of this spell.

When he repressed the blood boiling in his body, another deep evil force burst forth and distorted the space around him and turned it into a black whirlpool, dragging him in.

What came from the black whirlpool was a deep and gloomy atmosphere of death.

In fact, the spell was divided into three parts: the first was a greatly enhanced Magic of Removal that disrupted the enemy's possible protective spells; it was followed by an upgraded version of the Spell of Withering, with its power enough to seriously hurt or even kill legendary strong men; and even if the enemy could withstand the power of this spell, they would certainly be distracted, and when the enemy resisted the blood boiling, the follow-up spell would open up the gate of transmission that led to the Nether World which dragged the enemy in. Even if it could not kill the opponents it could contain them to ensure that afterwards it managed to banish them to the different world.

Not only that, the other end of this whirlpool was a chief lord's field of the Nether World. Its strength was so powerful that even the "Brutal Burner" would be frightened by it. Once the enemy was sent there, it was impossible for them to return alive!

In the past years, the dragon cast this spell and killed powerful enemies more than once, among which there were many people stronger than it and even there were two divine entities.

So when it assessed that Sui Xiong was a formidable opponent, it used the spell without hesitation.

However, this time it failed, for Sui Xiong's strength was far beyond his expectations.

The time from the spell of withering to the nether whirlpool lasted no more than one second. But in the time shorter than a second, Sui Xiong had mobilized to break the spell of withering and get rid of the impact of blood boiling, and he restored his freedom of action.

So when the nether whirlpool appeared, he just waved his tentacles, and his body suddenly moved and was transferred to the other side of the crater. He managed to escape and avoided being wrapped by the air of death from the whirlpool.

This powerful spell was also a big burden for the dragon so it took awhile for it to recover. It watched Sui escape but was unable to respond.

Of course, Sui Xiong would not miss this opportunity. He paddled his tentacles, and then five or six magic formations appeared at the same time with more than ten light balls flying out of each. The balls flew in an arc and shot toward the dragon.

These were magic bullets which were almost at the beginner level of all spells. Even a novice mage could cast it, consuming very little magic and energy.

And that meant it could be released many times.

Just a second or two later, countless light balls merged into a storm of flying bullets.

The dragon was so angry that its gum turned itchy, and if it had been in good condition, there would have been several ways to completely block this low-level spell. It would have even been possible for it to fight off these spells. But now seventy to eighty percent of its defensive magic had been cracked, and it was still recovering after casting the powerful magic, so it was simply unable to fight back.

The reason why the Sui Xiong used magic bullets was so that he could hit the slow dragon quickly. He seized this short moment to prevail over the dragon from the first encounter!

More importantly, he wanted to use rainstorm-like magic bullets to suppress the evil dragon, so that the dragon could not properly cast magic.

The dragon's spell was too powerful because just the magic spell made him soul-stirred. Watching the slowly disappearing nether whirlpool, Sui Xiong was still scared.

If the dragon continued casting this spell, it would not only add many variables to the battle, but it would be very dangerous!

Therefore, Sui Xiong would contain it first!

In the dark caves, only the crater area was bright.

The searing hot lava emitted dark red light and infinite heat, reflecting the battle of two powerful creatures.

The banging sounds were endless, and they even joined together. Pieces of magic bullets bombarded the body of the dragon, first dimming and dispersing the layer of the steel-colored protective spell, and then hitting the scales with a ping-pong like sound. The scales of the red dragon were as rough as red sandstone and were far tougher than steel.

The spell of Magic Bullets wasn't regarded as a threat to the evil dragon Uherskreider because it's hard scales could resist it. But the overwhelming storm of bullets gave it no way to open its mouth to cast spells, and even it had to close its eyes so as not to injure its delicate eyeballs.

Of course, as a mighty caster, it could cast spells without chanting, but the battle in which only one side gained the upper hand infuriated it so much that it raged. The spells of both sides must confront one another before it's allowed to judge the strength of an opponent. No doubt, that strange huge jellyfish was also a very powerful caster.

In that case, it changed its mind. Judging by the appearance of this jellyfish, it should not be very good at fighting hand-to-hand, so it could simply kill the jellyfish like a warrior relying on its strong ability to fight hand-to-hand.

The dragon swung its big tail fiercely causing a wave of lava similar to a lotus pod to cross a distance of ten or more meters. During this process, it crushed numerous magic bullets and swung in front of Sui Xiong.

What greeted it? More than ten thin tentacles.

For the possibility of fighting hand-to-hand with the evil dragon, Sui Xiong had already been prepared. The cumulative strength of more than ten tentacles was far stronger than that of the dragon tail.

Violent shock wave bloomed in the air. Two powerful creatures whose power was beyond imagination launched into hand-to-hand combat with their bodies that contained infinite magic. The result was that the one with a smaller physique prevailed. The tail of the dragon that seemed to be able to break a mountain was severely hit back.

The sound of the blow to the tail of the dragon was followed by the sound of a tail and tentacles colliding. It was an overwhelming mix of sounds.

At this time, the red dragon began to fly up and rushed at Sui Xiong's front.

Uherskreider did not like hand-to-hand combat. As a mighty caster, it was keen on using spells or wisdom to defeat enemies rather than using claws and teeth like a vulgar barbarian.

But this by no means meant it was not good at fighting!

On the contrary, fighting was far more powerful than spells for the vast majority of huge dragons.

They had extremely fast speed and powerful strength, and within the time that an average mage could chant a spell, they could launch at least five or six attacks. Each attack was enough to kill an enemy.

Moreover, with a mental power that mortals could not have, they were able to cast spells as they fiercely fought, multiplying the effect of fighting.

But this time, the dragon met an opponent that could restrain it in all aspects.

Sui Xiong outperformed it in terms of strength, speed, and mental power. Sui could also cast magic more smoothly than it during a fight.

There were endless sounds of explosions and booms, and the light of magic also appeared one after another. It was difficult to tell which side gained the upper hand at the first glance because they seemed equal.

But with the slow passage of time, the evil dragon gradually became concerned.

The battle situation was still only a stalemate, and it was difficult to tell the winner, but Uherskreider knew that it was at a disadvantage. It was not that it had been at a disadvantage in a certain skill, but that it had been countered in all aspects.

"D*mn! Should this be a holy envoy of a certain god? He is more powerful than the holy envoys I have met before! Should he be… He must be an avatar of a shameless god that descends to the earth, isn't he?" It cautiously pondered while fighting.

Sui's strength was far beyond its expectations, and such a strong man must have an extraordinary background. Uherskreider itself was already on the top of the "legendary creatures." Even in the face of those demigods in seclusion, it was confident that it would have an advantage in a certain skill and would absolutely not be completely suppressed in this way.

Well, the answer could be imagined.

The evil dragon turned its lava-like eyes and quickly made a decision.

No matter whether the opponent was a holy envoy or an avatar of a god, it was unlikely that he would stay in the earthly world for a long time. As long as it retreated temporarily, it would not take long before the jellyfish found it necessary return to its Holy Kingdom.

At that time, it could be happy again!

Thinking of it, it no longer hesitated and secretly chanted a long spell.

It was one of the few legendary spells it held. Though not as powerful as the previous legendary spell "Withering Netherworld" which was a three-fold spell, its effects were not weak.

Fighting against a mighty enemy while preparing the legendary spell was an almost unimaginable thing, but it did it. After spending countless hours and energy practicing it, it was able to prepare the spell used to escape while fighting fiercely.

That was its real last resort.

A moment later, with a spell containing many complex phrases, a kind of red light suddenly rose to completely envelop the body of Uherskreider.

At the same time, the space around it shook violently, not only completely destroying the space blockade made by Sui Xiong but also forcing Sui Xiong to retreat a lot.

This was the crux of the reason why the Brutal Burner could often escape the strongman's pursuit and killing: the legendary spell, "Transmission through the Sky."

This spell could create shocks in a space. It could not only force the enemy to retreat, but also break the space blockade of spells such as Dimension Anchor. Especially when it was transmitting something, it could eliminate various tracking spells and make it impossible for the enemy to trace its whereabouts through methods such as breath or space shocks.

As for the prophecy spell… Of course, it had other ways to defend against it.

Seeing the space shocks become more intense and the transmission about to begin, the dragon could not help but have a ridiculing smile.

"What's the point of you being stronger than me? I still manage to escape!"

However, this time, the development of things went far beyond its expectation.

In the face of dangerous space shocks, the large jellyfish actually rushed over to it!

Severe space shocks had an almost unstoppable destruction. In just a moment, at least one-third of the giant jellyfish's body had been destroyed.

"Stupid! Stupid! You are killing yourself!" The dragon screamed in its heart, but it felt more nameless panic.

It knew that opponents would never do anything for nothing!

The body of the huge jellyfish was almost completely destroyed in the space shock, but in the end, there was still a tentacle reaching toward the dragon.

Surprised and suspicious, the evil dragon saw a phantom shaped like a man's hand stretch out from the tentacle and grab it!

"You want to escape? It isn't that easy!"

Sui Xiong had already seen the crime of the dragon in the memory of the elves, so he had long been determined to kill the villain here. Even the God of Evil Dragons descended in person couldn't prevent him, let alone space shocks.

Sui Xiong was a person who was rarely determined to do something, but if he made up his mind, he would certainly follow through to the end!

It was true that he could not resist the power of the space shocks, but, for him, the physical damage was simply nothing.

This powerful floating jellyfish that could cast spells and fly was actually the armor he used to protect his soul. Even a small part of the body was enough.

As long as it could protect his soul in front of the evil dragon, everything would be over.

It had been a long while since he had traveled through space to this world, and he had never seen an opponent who could stop his soul from attacking.

This time, there would not be an exception!

Sui Xiong's hand of the soul easily broke through the body of the evil dragon and seized its soul. Uherskreider, feeling the danger of dying, struggled with countless magic lights appearing on his body. At this moment, it had no time to care about any consequences or costs.

But it was useless. Before it could even cast a spell, its soul had been pulled out of its body by Sui, so the magic lights were immediately extinguished, and its huge lava-like eyes lost their luster. The spell of transmission that had previously started also stopped, and the huge body of the dragon floating in the sky completely lost its power, slumping into the lava and splashing hot red waves.

This evil dragon that had run amok across the world for many years finally died in such as way.

In terms of its own combat effectiveness, Uherskreider could absolutely run amok across the main plane where the top combat effectiveness had been restrained. Even in the face of Sui Xiong, it was just at a disadvantage and was far from its failure and death.

However, in front of Sui Xiong's soul attack, it was not much different from the fish in the sea, and it was instantly killed.

It was wearing treasures that could provide strong soul defense, but in the face of Sui Xiong, that precious treasure did not work— or it did work, but the effect was not enough to save the evil dragon's life.

It also tried to detonate its own body at the last moment of its life, turning all the magical energy and vitality in its huge body into pure destructive power to destroy the enemy too. However, because death came too fast and too suddenly, it still did not have enough time.

So, it was dead. It was unable to escape, and it could not resist, nor could it detonate itself.

It must have hesitated to be frustrated, but finally, it died helplessly.

As the space shock dissipated, an intangible magic power was released from the remains of the jellyfish with just half a tentacle and gathered with the other parts of the broken remains that flew from all directions.

After a while of wriggling, they reintegrated into a green jellyfish again which floated quietly above the remains of the red huge dragon. It was smiling coldly and delightedly.

In the middle of its tentacles, a flash of red light was struggling, but could not escape.

This was the soul of the evil dragon Uherskreider. Originally, it also arranged some defensive measures against the soul. However, all these measures did not work in the face of Sui Xiong's soul attack and finally ended in a dodgy confusion.

Sui Xiong did not follow his original habits and didn't devour the soul of the huge dragon. Instead, he created a cage with the power of the soul, imprisoning its soul in his own body. And then he put a flame condensed with ice magic into the cage so as to give it a big meal of ice and fire.

Before Uherskreider had time to beg for mercy, Sui Xiong had completely sealed the cage and shut the roar and whining of the soul inside it..

As far as Sui Xiong knew, the villain started to do bad things at least two hundred years ago, so he did not intend to open the cage for at least two hundred years.

As the saying goes, "Good will be rewarded with good sooner or later, and the same is true of evil." As it was time, the evil of the dragon had been rewarded now.

Chapter 80: Chapter 80

Translator: Sigma Editor: Sigma

"Comrade Lei Feng said that 'We should treat our comrade kindly like spring, treat work fervently like summer, treat errors as determinedly as how the autumn wind blows fallen leaves, and treat your enemy cruelly like winter. You who have done much evil, just enjoy your sentence!"

His Majesty the jellyfish sneered, cast a spell to put aside the huge body of the red dragon and then searched the cave.

Unfortunately, he did not find the treasure of the red dragon, and even after using the prophecy spell, it made no difference.

Not that he didn't find anything, but that there was simply nothing. Uherskreider was really like how it was described by the rumors: very different from the ordinary dragons because it had no money making hobby.

Love of money was the nature of dragons, and it applied to almost all dragons that were fierce, kind, wise, or cunning. They naturally liked shiny gemstones and golden coins. According to Snow Flake, even her heart could be warm when slept holding coins.

However, Uherskreider was not like this. The warmth of gold coins could not warm its cold heart, but only the appearance of weak people screaming in fire could make it happy.

It was too lazy to amass wealth. It was so poor that perhaps it was comparable to Graupel, the lazy girl who liked sleeping.

Of course, it was not really in abject poverty because even the few pieces of magic items that it carried were very valuable. For example, a few special scales embedded in it were actually scale-shaped amulets that could provide more than ten different types of protection. They could also stimulate a number of life-saving spells and even could effectively resist spell detection.

The problem was that they were all engraved with the soul of Uherskreider. If they were to be used on others, the signs would have to be wiped off first.

And even if the signs had been erased, the amulets were too large for humans who could only use it as a giant shield— a kind of shield that could protect the entire person when it was kept upright on the ground.

Being large was not the crux of the problem. More importantly, those amulets used ample materials, and their weight was really ridiculous. Even the lightest of them weighed at least one hundred kilograms.

A knight with heavy armor would have no more than 80 kilograms of a full set of equipment. This weight was the combined weight of their underwear, shirt, inner armor shirt made of chains, cotton armor, a full set of outer armor, metal helmet, metal gloves, metal boots, guns and swords, shield, dagger, etc…

Under normal circumstances, those who could wear this set of heavy equipment to combat were, at least, medium-level master adventurers. For many senior adventurers who were not good at strength, for example, Ray, if they were to wear such a heavy set of equipment, they would find it very difficult to walk normally, let alone be agile enough to fight.

In other words, if an amulet of the dragon had been given to Ray, he would not have to wear his own equipment or carry his usual weapon. It would be hard enough for him to carry the amulet everywhere.

So Sui Xiong intended to destroy these amulets, take out the useful things, and make some truly applicable equipment.

After solving the problem of the evil dragon, Sui Xiong went back to the ground and sent the elf that had been hypnotized back to the magic formation in the forest. Then he waved his tentacles, and the magic formation that shrouded the whole forest collapsed instantly accompanied by a clear sound similar to a piece of glass breaking.

"Elves, wake up." The voice of the jellyfish god echoed in the sky, and went into their heart while the elves still struggled in a nightmare. "You are free!"

Under the call of Sui Xiong, the elves woke up in succession. They looked at each other in shock.

They could not see Sui Xiong who had made himself invisible but could see the surrounding landscape clearly. In particular, some elves that were caught there recognized the volcano at a glance where the evil dragon had been.

After a while, finally, a brave elf cautiously sneaked toward the crater and confirmed that the evil dragon was not there. So the elders with higher prestige stood out and directed everyone to evacuate as soon as possible.

"Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Young adults, you are responsible for carrying children on your back; knight-errants, explore the way in front of us, and those who can cast magic, help them!"

"Hurry up! The evil dragon might come back anytime!"

"Elderlies, gather here, and if Uherskreider comes back, we must fight desperately against it! Even if we save one more member of our tribe, it is okay. We are so old now and nothing is horrible for us!"

"Pastors? Quickly pray, and try to see if we can connect with other tribes by means of the power of gods, so that other tribes might come and pick us up."

"There's no way to pray in this cave. We must go up to the ground…"

"D*mn! Then hurry because our time is tight!"

Elves were busy retreating in an orderly way. They formed a long line of troops, going up the stream and running toward the ground as soon as possible.

Many experienced elves ran while still being careful about their surroundings and guarding against possible dangers.

But their fears were superfluous because Sui Xiong was invisibly following them on their guard.

Along the way, they stopped and continued on. The elves spent almost a day getting out of the gorge and going back to the ground.

By this time, those young adults were fine, but the children were exhausted, many of whom even fell asleep on the back of the adults.

Seeing that everyone was extremely exhausted, the temporary chiefs of these elves ordered them to take a rest.

Some elves with much experience with taking adventures were responsible for setting up temporary camps that were simple and crude so that the tired tribesmen could have a more comfortable place to take a rest. Others were responsible for searching for food, so that they could go to sleep without being hungry.

Coincidentally, they had not gone far before they found two behemoths fighting for territory, one of which was a giant bear and the other a python. The two behemoths had deep wounds left on their bodies, and the scene of death was quite tragic. No one knew how mad they were before their deaths, but both of them died together.

The "Foraging Team" exerted a lot of effort bringing the two behemoths back to the camp. Seeing their fruitful results, their tired and hungry tribesmen cheered.

"Excellent!"

"Purely out of luck…"

"It must be that our bad luck has run out, and now there is such good luck!"

"Yeah… No one knows where the evil red dragon has gone, and I hope it will never appear again!"

"I'd rather hope to have the chance to meet it again when I become strong enough to kill it."

"Oh, pastors? Have they prayed? We need to contact our tribesmen as soon as possible."

"Praying requires a lot of energy, and they are all very tired. Let's take a rest and eat before asking them to pray again."

After some noise, the satiated fugitives fell into deep sleep in the temporary camp, and the finally recovered pastors prayed around the temporary holy place, intending to contact the tribesmen far away through sacred rituals.

After a while, their prayer was answered. With the power of the gods, they soon got into contact with tribesmen far away from them.

"You have escaped? Great! We are organizing a Dragon Slaying Team, and we thought we would avenge you by the dragon…"

"Don't hurry to slay the dragon, probably the evil dragon Uherskreider has gone to an unknown place… Send someone to pick us up first."

"Well, but it is also strange that we have lost contact with the assembly site, and we do not know the reason…"

"Is it that the evil dragon acted first and attacked the assembly site?"

"Impossible! There are more than a dozen senior adventurers and a legendary strongman at the spot, and if Uherskreider went there, it is courting death!"

"D*mn! What happened?"

"Do not panic! All you need to do now is to take a good rest and continue to move toward nearby villages, and we will send people to the assembly site to see what happened."

When the news was delivered to the temporary chiefs, they were a little uneasy. But as their tribesmen far away from them said, the most important thing now was to take a good rest. Panicking was useless, and they also could not help if the assembly site was really in trouble.

The only thing they could do was to bring these surviving tribesmen to settle in the nearest village.

During the night, no one saw a green jellyfish soar up and hurry toward the village which was the assembly site.

Sui Xiong, who originally stopped at a big tree above them, went to sleep. According to his plan, it was his intention to escort these poor elves to a safe place, but he was restless when he heard they lost contact with the assembly site.

This trip did not take much time, but how did an accident happen there?

What the hell, indeed!

Sui Xiong was galloping in the air by using the power of flying magic to the extreme, and his body almost became green lightning.

At this moment, he could not help but regret that if he had known there might have been an accident at that moment, he would have left a space coordinate on Ray or Steele, so that he could come directly to their place by using the spell of transmission.

Ugh! In fact, he should have left a small avatar beside them, so at least he could have always kept in touch with them!

He complained about his ill thought while also being confused. Steele had her own protective spells on her body, Ray was a well-experienced adventurer, and the village was even full of masters and even had a legendary strongman. But how could something unexpected happen during the short period of time?

This was ridiculous!

The green lightning flew from the sky with a deep roar.

The fight against Uherskreider consumed too much of his power, and especially at the end in order to avoid the dragon escaping, he was forced to break the space shocks, so his body had almost completely collapsed. In order to repair the body, he exhausted almost all of the energy reserves used for making an avatar, and now there was a big deficit of it.

If he had swallowed the body of the dragon, of course, he could have made up for the deficit and he could have much more energy. But the legendary dragon Uherskreider's body could be called a treasure, and its scales, skin, blood, bones, teeth, tendons, marrow, and heart were all good things, and even the dragon meat and offal also had their own use and shouldn't be wasted.

According to news from Wendy, the study on the body of the giant snake had made some initial progress. She used magic to separate and then activate the flesh and blood of the giant snake. By catalyzing various factors therein, she had roughly delineated the possible range of the "Longevity Factor." However, if she wanted to activate the Longevity Factor in the giant snake, she needed to use the flesh and blood of higher level creatures as a medium. Although she had some of the materials left by the teacher, using those precious materials refined by the late alchemist as cheap consumables seemed to be squandering the fortune of a community.

In contrast, the evil dragon Uherskreider's body was so big, and cutting its flesh and blood simply made almost no difference to the body. The dragon was also known to be the most fertile creature and its flesh and blood were most suitable for a medium because they could greatly activate the Longevity Factor of the giant snake and speed up the experiment process.

And if the experiment succeeded in the future, the use of material such as dragon blood and dragon flesh might be very probable when producing longevity medicines. At that time, it would be the more, the better.

So Sui Xiong, of course, wouldn't make up for the energy deficit by devouring the body of the dragon.

Now he somewhat regretted it, but it was too late— devouring the dragon body took time, and time was what he lacked most!

Chapter 81: Chapter 81

Due to the considerable damage he'd sustained during the battle, Sui Xiong's condition was severely affected. He couldn't travel by floating as quickly as before. After traveling for some time, he arrived at the village that the dragon-slaughtering team of fairies had chosen as the gathering point.

He felt somewhat anxious while rushing over, but the scene he saw upon arriving was not the expected crisis or accident, but a sight that he never could've imagined.

The entire village was surrounded by a light pink halo, and layer upon layer of a giant magic spell was constantly radiating a light pink smoke. All the males and females in the village were naked and gathered in a meadow in the middle of the village. Most of them were lying on the ground, and only a few horny, brawny men were surrounding the naked Steele and having sex with her.

In the blink of an eye, Sui Xiong figured out the source of this magic array, which surprised him very much. The core of the magic array's structure turned out to be one of his God Power traces. It was the trace of God Power that he had left behind for Steele to defend herself!

"I must be mistaken, right?! What the hell has this slutty Steele done?! Using my God Power to do such a debauched thing!"

He almost screeched loudly, but seeing the heated scene in the meadow, he was speechless.

He used his spiritual sensing to browse through the entire village, and he was deeply aggrieved. Except for a few villagers who were too old or young, almost all the villagers and adventurers were affected by the magic array, participating in this large-scale naked party.

There was one exception: Ray. He was sitting in a room playing chess with an old man.

There was no need to introduce Ray, but the old man sitting opposite him somehow drew Sui Xiong's attention.

This man seemed very old. Not only did he have white hair, but his brows and beard were both white as well. His distinctly long fairy ears were a little droopy, and the wrinkles on his face were multi-layered. Sui Xiong was sure that if a stupid blind mosquito tried to bite his cheek, it might be squished to death in between the wrinkles.

Despite his old age, this fairy was clearly quite powerful, as there was an intense energy emanating from his body. Additionally, there were five or six magic halos around his body, which meant that he was carrying several solidification spells which had effects that could be maintained without any further attention.

Including the magic tools on his body, Sui Xiong identified at least twenty magical instruments that this old man could use!

Because there were certain requirements for users of magic tools, the more magic tools one was equipped with, the more powerful his abilities would be. Therefore in this world, a typical adventurer might be well-equipped, but being that equipped heavily meant this was no doubt a powerful man.

In comparison to this old fairy, Ray's leather armor and excellent sword looked pretty inferior.

The old man was definitely a former semi-secluded legendary man. But it was unknown why he was in Ray's room. Judging from the magic array inside the room, it was obvious that he had helped Ray resist Steele's magic spell. This was probably why they sat together in the same room playing chess.

A light flashed. Sui Xiong's shadow appeared in Ray's room. Sui Xiong couldn't help but ask in a loud voice, "Ray! What on Earth has happened?!"

Ray put down his chess piece, bowed respectfully to the old man sitting opposite him, then turned his head to Sui Xiong and smiled, "Your Majesty, can't you see it yourself?"

"What do you mean by this, 'Can't you see it yourself?!'" Sui Xiong waved all of his tentacles, making himself as imposing as possible. "All the villagers have gone mad, surrounding Steele and having sex with her. What on Earth is going on! Tell me everything!"

"In fact, it's quite simple. Last time, Steele was not at a disadvantage. You know what she's like when she's angry. Being at a disadvantage on the battlefield is just a trivial thing, but being at a disadvantage in bed is a big thing for her. Therefore, when you left, she said things like 'For the dignity of sexology!' and spent half a day conducting a big ceremony, turning everything into the scene you see now. As a result, the villagers now look as if they've all gone insane. All of them rushed out to have sex with her and then became so tired that they collapsed one by one…" Ray looked out of the window, tutting and sighing, "Seems like it's about to end soon."

Sui Xiong was silent for a long time, unable to utter a word.

He felt that he himself should have said something, but….at this moment, he really didn't know what to say…

He may not have opened his mouth, but it didn't mean that the others would keep theirs shut. The old man playing chess with Ray bowed to greet him, then asked, "Your Majesty, regarding your follower's behavior… Shouldn't you have some comments to make on this situation?"

Sui Xiong was a little surprised, asking, "What comments?"

"To be fair, we Tree Fairies are not among those tribes that take virginity that seriously. But with this woman making such a fuss… Don't you feel that you should say something?" the old man said.

Sui Xiong immediately understood and couldn't help but feel an internal pressure. This old man was asking for justice for the victims!

At this moment, he would rather fight ten evil dragons like Yushes Clyde than face a situation like this one. If he could, he would even dig a cave, crawl into it, and bury himself inside and never come back.

But avoiding things wouldn't solve the problem. Since Steele had created such a big mess, he had to take responsibility for this.

After forcing out a laugh, Sui Xiong tried to mitigate things, saying, "This is uhhh….. Well if you think carefully about it, the matter isn't that serious… I can see that no one has been hurt…"

"To be honest, you're right. It isn't a serious situation. But the main problem doesn't lie here," the old man smiled and said. "I'll be dying soon anyway. I don't really care about etiquette or cultural things. What I want to say is that if this woman were a male, I would honestly welcome this matter. If this many people had sex with him, some girls may have gotten pregnant, and having a few God descendants in the clan would of course be a good thing."

"But, this is a woman. No matter how many time she does this, there is no way she can get these girls pregnant…It's impossible. Not to mention she screws each of the men until they collapse. They'll need at least ten to fifteen days of rest. She has stripped the dignity from each of us, not sparing a single soul. Don't you feel that it's a bit excessive?"

This argument was really convincing. Sui Xiong didn't have anything to say in response. He thought for a while and then asked, "Can I give her to you then to make up for all of this? Don't judge her by her slutty appearance; in fact, she's quite skilled at a number of things."

"I have seen her 'skills' with my own eyes. As I've said, if this were a man, then we would have welcomed him. But that woman… Forget it, we don't need her."

The old man stressed the word "skills" many times. It wasn't hard to understand his meaning as he declined Sui Xiong's offer. It was very obvious that this old man had zero interest in Steele who could only 'ask' but couldn't 'give'.

"Your Majesty, I think that you should leave Steele here and let her give birth to some children for his clan…" Ray used the spirit channel to talk to Sui Xiong.

"She can't give birth…"

"What?!"

"Have you ever seen a Holy Spirit give birth? Impregnating others is alright, but getting pregnant itself is impossible." Sui Xiong's avered is eys as he tried to ask, "How about…Ray, since you are also considered to have a powerful noble bloodline…"

"Impossible!" Ray immediately interrupted him. "Don't ever dream of such things! I am not a stud horse!"

Sui Xiong really couldn't think of a solution. He couldn't do anything else but shamelessly play a dirty trick. "Or… should I hang her upside down, so those who have had sex with her can beat her?"

He stressed, "There is no need to care about my feelings. Beating her to death or beating her until she is disabled are both fine for me. What do you think about this?" He felt that this suggestion seemed very sincere, and he most certainly would keep follow-up suggestions like "I can cure her afterwards" to himself.

The old man was slightly shocked. He didn't expect that this would be Sui Xiong's solution to this problem.

He'll even allow fairies to hang up and beat up one of his followers, which shows he's quite sincere about rectifying this. But to be honest, this matter is not that serious. The Tree Fairies are all very open-minded. Sleeping together isn't anything outrageous. Especially, judging by the look of these youngsters, they clearly had a good time. How can they turn around and beat the girl they just had sex with?!

For a moment, he was facing a dilemma.

While he was deep in his thought, a high-pitched scream carried across the meadow. The last chap, an adventurer, whose ability had been close to legendary, let out a satisfactory scream. After that, his eyes turned white and closed.

Finally, only Steele remained, smiling brightly and licking her lips in satisfaction. She scanned around to see the villagers and adventurers who had been lethargically put to sleep one by one.

"Ha! What a refreshing feeling!"

She walked up to the fierce-faced robust men and used her toes to wantonly poke them, triumphantly asking, "Why are you all lying on the ground? Stand up! Weren't all of you the ones who wanted to fuck me to death last time? I still haven't showed my full strength yet, while all of you have already fallen down… Are you a man or not? If you are, then get up! Stand up and do me! Do me!"

One could see her deep disdain for these robust men. She messed with them for a long time. But their energy had clearly been depleted; no matter how much she provoked them, they couldn't stand upright. They just helplessly accepted their defeat and let her completely crush their dignity and manhood.

As Steele was able to get revenge, she looked up to the sky and laughed loudly with a cheerful and delighted look on her face. While she was thinking of what to say, she heard Sui Xiong's voice.

"Haha, Steele, do you feel very happy after doing that?"

"That's right, Your Majesty." Steele answered. "Very happy!"

Sui Xiong forced a smile and said forcefully, "Get out the golden headband!"

The golden hoop suddenly appeared on Steele's forehead. As she didn't have time to react, the golden hoop spread out to a halo, then quickly tightened, as if it was going to squeeze her head into a deformed wine gourd.

"Ahhh!"

This time, Sui Xiong didn't show the slightest bit of mercy at all. He chanted the hoop-tightening spell dozens of times until Steele curled up and her eyes rolled into the back of her head. Tears and saliva flowed from her face at the same time.

Only when he saw that she could not take it anymore did he stop.

He swung his tentacles skyward and changed the appearance of the magic spell covering the whole village. The light pink fog slowly turned into a green halo, which poured into the bodies of the villagers and adventurers. Then, a loop of green light descended, transforming into a blanket to cover their bodies.

When he was finished, Sui Xiong slightly waved his hands. Steele, who was curled up in the fetal position, was caught by his dark power and thrown in front of the old man.

"Well, this slut is handed over to you. It's up to you to punish her!" Sui Xiong angrily said. "She reaps what she sows!"

The old man looked at the angry jellyfish god and then looked back at Steele, who was lying naked on the ground. A forced smile appeared on his wrinkled face.

This situation had played out completely different from how he'd expected!

Chapter 82: Chapter 82

According to this old Tree Fairy's plan, if Sui Xiong had such a peculiar and slutty follower, then his personality must also be strange and slutty. With just a few words of persuasion, this god might simply say, "You want a child? I can sow some seeds!" After that, he would probably enter the battle himself.

If this was the case, then there would be several kids with godly bloodlines in the future. With these holy children, it would be very convenient for him to associate with Sui Xiong later. This was basically killing two birds with one stone.

But this old man would never have expected that although this god was just a jellyfish, his personality could be so righteous. This god didn't even think the slightest bit about gaining an advantage but was in fact outraged, letting him cruelly punish Steele. Judging from this, if he didn't make a move, this god might not even bother punishing her himself.

This was not what he wanted!

At that moment, he regretted his decision to play by the book, not thinking about the big picture and turning things to his advantage.

Gosh! Your Majesty, why didn't you do as I had expected?!

As Sui Xiong grew angrier, Steele began convulsing, and the old man was still thinking.

In the meantime, Ray didn't have anything to do but watch from the side like a bystander. Therefore, he had seen the key part of the problem.

In fact, for the Tree Fairy, this matter wasn't a big deal. Everyone had simply taken sky as canopy and Earth as a mattress to have sex with each other. It was not because of Steele that they had done this. They would have done it without Steele anyway. Hence, at most, their reputations had been tarnished, but nothing more.

As for His Majesty, although at this moment he was in a rage, Sui Xiong in fact was a typical example of having a sharp tongue but a soft heart. As long as he didn't mercilessly kill her on the spot, there would always be an alternative method of punishment.

The only problem right now was with Steele. At this moment, her actions might just put Sui Xiong over the top. Even if she could avoid a calamity right now, her future could still be quite bleak.

Ray had always disliked Steele. This time, he thought she had indeed been extremely out of line! He also didn't truly care whether Steele was alive or dead.

After carefully considering all the conditions, he finally thought of a solution. "Your Majesty, what happened between you and the giant dragon?" he asked.

In fact, he knew well that with His Majesty's personality, an evil dragon that had burned down the village and eaten the villagers would be either beaten to death or chopped into pieces. If it was lucky, it would have died in one piece.

"Well, Yushes Clyde has been killed by yours truly. All the fairies have also been saved and they are advancing to a nearby village," Sui Xiong answered casually.

Ray didn't say anything else. The body of the old man slightly shuddered, and he couldn't help but ask, "Yushes Clyde? It was definitely him?!"

"Yep, that's the one. That dragon was really bad!" Sui Xiong said. "I know some other giant dragons, but I've never seen one so inherently evil!"

"You killed it to save our tribe?" the old man asked incredulously.

Sui Xiong nodded. "That's right. Didn't I mention that already?"

The old man took a deep breath and lowered his head. This time it was completely sincere, not a courtesy.

"Please accept my apology! You've put yourself into such a dangerous situation to save our tribe, killing the horrible dragon for our sake, while we are holding your follower accountable for such a trivial matter. Please forgive us for being so reckless! The Tree Fairies are not the kind of people who bite the hand that feeds them!"

The Tree Fairy group was satisfied and didn't investigate any further. Sui Xiong could finally calm down a little.

Ray sighed. His expression showed that everything had proceeded as he'd expected. The Tree Fairy group simply wanted to use this good excuse to escape this embarrassing moment. Sui Xiong had helped them get revenge and also saved their clan's members. Was a favor as big as this not enough to make up for the trivial matter of Steele's sex party?

How could His Majesty not have thought of this…in the end, maybe he is just a jellyfish.

After resolving this matter, the old man immediately bid them farewell and left. Soon, after recovering, the villagers and adventurers also left.

But then there was another problem that needed to be handled.

"Steele, what do you think about this?"

Steele, dressed in adventurer's clothes, was kneeling on the ground, while Sui Xiong and Ray were sitting on either side of her with judgmental looks on their faces.

Two lines were also written on the wall of the guest room with Sui Xiong's magic. One said "Being honest will be forgiven, resisting will be strictly punished". The other "Punish first to prevent a later disaster, treat the disease to save the patient".

Steele was very embarrassed.

What should a follower do? A strong one naturally had to take the initiative to charge and break through enemy lines, no matter if they were going through a river and treading on fire. He must fight for the boss. A weaker one should also drive or carry luggage, making the boss feel comfortable. Even if he didn't know anything, he should look at the big boss with sincere eyes, making him feel comfortable.

But on the contrary, this follower had caused her boss real trouble, tons of trouble!

"Let me ask you this, Steele. Why didn't I see you as this capable before?" It was very rare that Sui Xiong didn't sit on top of Ray's head. Instead, this time he was sitting at a table and angrily looking at the restless Steele. She lowered her head, as he said in a peculiar tone, "Being able to make the people in a whole village collapse…You are indeed very "capable"! I am not kidding. I've never heard of anyone who's done that before!"

Steele forced a smile, but didn't dare say anything.

She was also not stupid. She could even smell the dissatisfaction in her boss's voice. If she said anything right now, she would definitely be asking for trouble.

"I consumed my God Power to leave behind some of it in order to protect you, but instead you used it to have an orgy!"

Steele's head dropped lower.

"Fortunately for you, this time the Tree Fairy group won't be prosecuting you. That is your blessing," Sui Xiong said miserably. "As a god, I use my power to bully others. Do you find that very glorious?! That old man has wrinkles that could trap mosquitoes between them. As soon as he opened his mouth, he often said things like 'I am already old and about to die'… Having to bully such an old man, do you think I should feel proud about that?!"

Steele tried very hard to retract her head into her neck like a turtle, not daring to say a single word.

"Gosh! The more I think about it, the more embarrassed I feel! But is there any method for this? Who told you that I don't teach well?! Who told you that I am normally too merciful to others, thus giving you the opportunity to do such an awful thing!"

Steele opened her mouth as if she wanted to explain a little bit. But then, she thought it over and didn't say anything, lowering her head to hear him lecture further.

Sui Xiong continued to admonish her with thoughts from "A thief knows a thief as a wolf knows a wolf" to "universal love not war", from "the gift of human rights" to "a socialism of honor and disgrace". He then emphasized the phrase "hard work is honorable, laziness is shameful, struggling arduously is glorious, and extravagance is shameful…."

After many harsh words, the sun had already creeped above the horizon in the east. He had been talking from the afternoon all the way through to the early morning.

No one knew when Ray had fallen sound asleep on the table, but Steele didn't dare doze off. She was trying very hard to keep her eyes open, but she couldn't stop herself from falling into a daze.

"Look at your attitude!!" Sui Xiong shouted angrily as he slammed his heavy tentacles down on the table, exclaiming, "You are in contempt of the court of law!"

Steele was startled. As she was about to open her mouth to explain, Ray, who had been suddenly awakened, spoke up groggily. "Against the court of law? Then just execute her."

"What?! Execute me?!" This time, Steele was really scared. She forgot her attempts at sincerity and jumped up, saying "How can this suddenly turn into an execution?!"

Sui Xiong was also stunned and asked, "Is this so serious that I would have to execute her?"

At this moment, Ray was completely sober. He rubbed his nose, let out two dry coughs, took a little time to arrange the words in his head, then put on a serious face and made a show of being earnest.

"First of all, we need to be sure about one thing. Accusations and punishment need to be based on the law."

Sui Xiong and Steele nodded together.

"And according to the law, there's an important article that requires us to 'maintain the sacred nature of the law and the authority of the court of law', right?"

Steele nodded as Sui Xiong carefully thought a little bit and nodded as well.

"If so, if she is objecting to the court of law or not cooperating with the judge, isn't that a crime that needs to be seriously punished?"

Steele's face went pale, but she still nodded; Sui Xiong very attentively thought for a while, then hesitantly nodded.

"If so, show me the issue with execution."

Steele's face was mournful. She looked at Sui Xiong sadly. Sui Xiong thought for a long while, and at last said, "Isn't this law system too simple and brutal?"

As soon as his words were spoken, he also had a realization. "In order to maintain the authority of the court of law, we don't need to use such a serious punishment. Even if we want to punish the behavior of objecting to the court, we don't need to hang the criminal. The law exists to keep order, and true order is leading people to be better, not yelling and killing!"

Ray silently nodded as he heard this. Inside, he deeply respected and praised this opinion of Sui Xiong's, but on the outside, a smirk lingered on his face.

"A lord has the right to punish and grant a special reprieve. A God, of course has the right to do so as well. It is up to you to decide how to handle her."

Sui Xiong couldn't help but furrow his brow, silently deciding that until his Holy Land was built, he would set up his own system of laws rather than follow the laws of this world.

The law system of this world indeed had its problems! That's right…Justice and law seemed to be under the control of the Gods.

As he thought about this, he silently remembered this idea as he looked at the trembling Steele, who was waiting for the verdict. Seeing her frightened appearance, his heart felt kind and warm like he had just eaten hot and spicy soup on a cold winter day.

"Steele, this time you should be scared!" He wanted to face the sky and let out three loud, imposing laughs. But with the body of a jellyfish, this posture was a little difficult to make, so he gave up on this dramatic flair.

As for how he would punish Steele, he had already thought of a solution. "Let's have breakfast first," he said coldly. "Even if you have to die, you don't have to be a starving ghost, right?"

After hearing these words, Steele's face was a little less tense. But when she heard "a starving ghost", her face turned whiter than before, and her legs began shaking.

She was indeed scared this time!

Report chapter

While having breakfast, Steele was constantly trembling. Her fear was at an all time high.

Killed? According to her knowledge about the law, it could be her outcome.

If she were the judge, putting a hanging sentence on the criminal who looked down on the court of law while being questioned, and then dozed off, was not too much. On the contrary, it was quite reasonable.

It was just that she didn't want to die!

She originally wasn't afraid of death. Especially these days, after having gone through many places and so many things, she felt deeply about Heaven and Earth.

There were still so many places she wanted to see. She was not willing to part with this world right now!

I had a blast yesterday and had fun creating this big mess. As a result, in the blink of an eye, I may be sentenced to death… I'm doomed!

She didn't doubt Sui Xiong's words. His furious appearance was absolutely not an act. In fact, she considered it good luck that she had not been beat to death right on the spot.

But this just simply delayed the death sentence a little bit longer…

Due to her fear, her meal tasted like mere wax. She even dropped her spoon several times on the table. After forcing herself to finish breakfast, she packed her luggage to leave the village. She felt even more tense now.

Execution, of course, has to be done outside the village. It is not polite to hang someone up to die in someone else's village!

After they had gone quite a distance and passed a crooked ancient tree, Sui Xiong commanded everyone to stop.

"Enough, let's use this place. This tree is very appropriate," He brutally said. "Steele, are you ready?"

Upon hearing this, Steele assumed that the time of her death had finally come. Her legs buckled as she curled up on the ground.

Ray was also startled, as he thought that Sui Xiong was kidding or just doing this to scare Steele a little bit. He didn't imagine Sui Xiong would really kill Steele.

If he were able to see the top of his head, he would have known that his guess was not wrong— although the tone of Sui Xiong was extremely ferocious, his eyes were clearly smiling.

Sui Xiong gently swung his tentacles, flying up from the top of Ray's head. He shook his body to transform, turning into a giant jellyfish, which was bigger than an average-sized room. One by one, his tentacles emitted a dark power's blue light. Each one of them looked like a rope or a ferocious snake that could firmly lock and strangle the enemy to death.

When a tentacle grabbed Steele, although normally she was very courageous and audacious, she couldn't help but shriek loudly.

However, Sui Xiong didn't hang her up on the tree, but instead, opened his mouth widely like a sacrificial bowl and swallowed her down.

Ray's eyes opened wide and his jaw almost dropped as he saw this. He recalled his memory to see again what he had missed.

Hadn't he said he would kill her here? How could it turn into swallowing? Hadn't he said that he only needed to sunbathe and drink water? How could he immediately turn into a human-eating monster?

This was not right!

After a while, the jellyfish's mouth opened, and he spat out Steele, who was unharmed. But the tightening gold hoop was no longer on her forehead. Instead, there were two bracelets that looked like birthmarks on the back of her hands.

The left bracelet was red, while the right one was blue. Looking closely, each bracelet had two layers inside and out. In the middle of the bracelet were many vertical strokes, separating the ring into twelve equal checks.

The red bracelet had twelve checks inside. Above the first check was a group of rays which looked like a flame. The twelve checks on the blue bracelet were empty; there was nothing.

"I have carefully considered this. I feel that the tightening gold hoop is too simple and brutal. Moreover, it relies on Ray's supervision." Sui Xiong cleared his throat with two dry coughs, and then talked to the two people who still had no idea what was happening. "Therefore, I have decided to change the method."

"The two bracelets on your hands, the red one represents desire, and the blue one represents virtue. Whenever the desire surges inside your heart, the flame inside the red bracelet will be ignited. If the entire twelve flames are ignited…"

Speaking to this point, he stopped, and coughed dryly, indicating that the story had reached its climax.

These days, Ray had got accustomed to his speaking style and he immediately understood Sui Xiong's intention as he smilingly asked, "What will happen?"

"Hahaha— she will turn into a pig!"

Turn into a pig?!

Steele shrieked in fear, as she never expected to passby the threat of death from Sui Xiong but have to face a terror that was not much better than death.

To a beauty enthusiast, if they were made to choose between "turning into an ugly pig" and "being killed," the number of people who would chose the second option would likely be more than the first one.

"Turn… turn… turn into a pig?!" She couldn't help but ask while trembling.

"Why become… a pig?"

Sui Xiong didn't expect she would ask this and used his tentacles to scratch his head and said, "In some distant country, there was an old story. A brave, handsome, sturdy monk wanted to go to the remote Western country to acquire the legendary treasure which was said to be able to save the world. Under his command was a monkey with a nasty character, a pig which always was always in heat, a water monster whose head was full of sick thoughts, and a useless horse which had nothing except for its good looks."

"If this is the case…. Last time when you advised me to shave my head, did you want me to actually do it?" Steele was still a little muddle-headed, but Ray had recovered his mind, remembering the matter that occurred not too long ago.

That day, when they had been camping, Steele had angered Ray once again, which made him chant the hoop-tightening spell. Sui Xiong had thought about something and laughed out loud.

After that, he had asked Ray if he wanted to shave his head and change his clothes; he also said that he could have helped him create two powerful magic weapons, which were called "Nine Rings Pewter Staff" and "Brocade Kasaya."

Ray of course really wanted a powerful magic weapon, but when he saw Sui Xiong drawing the design, he regretfully rejected this offer.

How could he wear an outfit that made him look like a martial monk?

After that, Sui Xiong didn't remind him of this story as Ray felt regret when he recalled it. In fact, as long as he didn't need to shave his head, changing his clothes was not a problem. His black leather armor was a little eye-catching. Changing it would not be a bad thing.

But now, he was finally clear that Sui Xiong obviously wanted to act as the monk character!

When thinking about this, he couldn't help but shake his head and bitterly smile.

Sui Xiong's power was indeed mighty. His personality was also kind. What a pity that his thinking was so abnormal. He usually thought of crazy stories, which were inexplicable, and always came up with some funny and embarrassing ideas.

Or it was the so-called "perfect thing" that always had a regrettable point…

After smiling for a while, Ray turned to Sui Xiong to ask, "You just said, the red bracelet represents desire and the blue bracelet represents virtue, so if desire is a punishment, then is virtue perhaps a reward?"

"That's right!" Sui Xiong used his force to swing his tentacles like swinging his arms. "Until now, I've always focused on restraining her and not paying any attention to leading her. Therefore, I want to make a big change. From now on, whenever she does a good deed, it will accumulate virtue, people's gratitude will be accumulated inside the blue bracelet. When the accumulation reaches a certain level, the flame inside the blue bracelet will be ignited. After twelve flames are ignited, she can get one 'perfect wishing magic'."

"A perfect wishing magic?!" Ray thought for a long time but he couldn't remember there being such magic, and thus curiously asked, "What's the difference between this magic and other wishing magic?

Wishing magic is very unreasonable. If the word 'perfect' is added, it still sounds unreasonable…"

Ray was not being sarcastic, but he was just telling the truth.

The wishing magic group was always unreliable.

Someone said that this magic group's principle was "through the understanding and modification of the world to fulfill one's wish." At first glance, it may appear very powerful, but in reality, it was a little bit deceitful— the world itself didn't resist the changing tendency. When a person tried to use wishing magic to achieve a goal, the worst scenario was not that one's wish couldn't be fulfilled, but it was fulfilled in some bewildering ways.

For example, the relatively low-level second class wishing magic, in theory, could stimulate any "mid-level" quality magic. It didn't matter if one didn't have the necessary materials to display this magic or understand this magic. This magic could break any negative or positive magic's effects, including breaking a curse, or displaying any effects of a low-level adventurer. If one could get a reward, it was good, but getting a result was good as well.

There was no problem.

Well, theoretically, it was possible.

But in fact, except for some experiences with pretty reliable wishes— for example, stimulating other magic— any other wishes were all distorted, and implemented by an unknown dumbfounded method.

Many years ago, Ray had accidentally obtained a second-class wishing magic scroll. After having carefully thought about his wish, he wished "to become the strongest warrior in the world."

The result was that he received an invitation to participate in a "competition for the strongest warrior." After that, he applied for it and was full of excitement. Only then did he realize the participants had been just a bunch of beginner level newbie adventurers. Later on, he found out that this had just been a self-organized competition from a small region.

That was right. He had really won the competition, and had received the bronze medal of "the strongest warrior," but this medal didn't have any meaning.

This was like a bunch of martial arts newbies rushing over the Hua mountain to compete, and then picking "number one in the country" among those hypocrites. This was just a mockery.

This had hit Ray hard. He even had several disputes because of it.

In addition to some later matters, he didn't have a good impression of wishing magic. He even doubted many times that the great sage was drunk when inventing this magic or if he had some problems with his brain.

That magic was not useful at all, just a pure trap!

Although, Sui Xiong's track record was not bad and his personality was very trustworthy, that "perfect wishing magic" seems more high-end than the "second class wishing magic" or "wishing magic"…

But this "perfect wishing magic" thing itself was unreasonable!

Even a child would able to pick up on Ray's discontent and suspicion toward the wishing magic.

Sui Xiong couldn't help but say, "The wishing magic is also known as advanced magic. Even if they are legendary shamans, not all of them would be able to display this magic. This is a lower level wishing magic, normally an advanced shaman or even a legendary shaman is capable of displaying it. Why do you seem to look down on them?"

Ray sighed, telling him what he had experienced before.

When Sui Xiong heard about his "the strongest warrior" medal, he could not help but laugh out loud.

"These people are very creative! Brilliant! Brilliant! Do you still have that medal?"

Ray was silent for a while, and then took out an ancient bronze medal.

Just from a glance, one was able to tell this medal had been held onto for a long time. Countless touches had made the sharp edges of it become smooth, and had turned it a light golden color. It seemingly gave off a time-condensed feeling.

This medal was made very ordinarily or the smith making this medal had indeed put in a lot of effort, but his technique was not good enough, hence everything was in vain. In other words, due to the poor materials, it was not very water resistant. The writing on the medal had become extremely blurry, only a few words could be vaguely made out. As for the original patterns on the medal, more than half of them had rubbed off and could not be seen clearly.

Steele took a swift look, then immediately lost her interest. Coming from nobility, she could also be considered a slight expert in jewel evaluation. With just a glance, she could tell that this medal was of poor quality goods, which was put on counters in all souvenir stores in the big cities. It could be bought with a few copper coins.

But Sui Xiong stared attentively at this medal without blinking for a long time, then gently asked, "Do you regret making that wish?"

"Regret? On the contrary, it is not that bad." Ray shook his head, "I've done too many regretful things in my life, but that medal is not worth mentioning."

"If you don't really regret that, why do you have such a spiteful attitude toward the wishing magic? This doesn't make sense."

Ray hesitated for a while, sighed deeply, and then changed the subject.

That was when he hadn't become a lonesome thief yet, and had explored the Westfall under the identity of an adventurer.

At that time, he hid his true identity and ability, disguised in a mid-level adventurer's appearance, and joined a pretty-famous adventure team. The ability of this team was not very powerful, but the atmosphere in the team was very good. The captain was kind and righteous and everyone helped each other, which made him satisfied.

Just like that, two years had passed by, until one day they had come across part of a treasure map. After having been through countless hardships, they had finally found treasure.

That treasure was indeed very satisfactory. They distributed many good items amongst themselves— the leather armor he was wearing was also from that treasure.

And inside the treasure, the most precious things were two magic scrolls.

Surrounding these two scrolls was the ability to make wishes come true, so everyone crazily fought for them, which was extremely messy. In fact, the majority of them were disturbed. In the end, after discussing it with everyone, the captain used one scroll.

His wish was "I want to live forever and be immortal."

"This wish is very unreliable," Sui Xiong said. "A wishing magic can't do such a thing."

Ray painfully smiled, then nodded. "You are right. After the captain made the wish, space and time suddenly solidified, imprisoning him. He then was sucked into a black hole to some unknown place."

"If he was locked up, he might really become immortal…" Sui Xiong shook his head and sighed. "Wrong wishes often lead to a similar result like that. After all, the mortal willpower is strong enough to resist the world. It is also not strange for one to be fooled and misrepresented."

Ray and other people were dumbstruck when they saw this scene. They all wanted to bring the captain back, but there was basically no way to do that. After tormenting themselves for a period of time, there was no way left to try.

Having lost a highly prestigious captain, the adventure team collapsed very soon after. Ray continued being an adventurous soloist as other people parted ways.

Not too long after that, Ray took a mission to escort a caravan past the Orc Empire. It took more than several months for him to get there. When he returned to the Westfall, he saw a scene like a bolt from the blue.

The story about the wishing magic scroll had leaked out. The famous "Pellets" Smuggling Chamber of Commerce had found their place. Each and every comrade in his team was either betrayed or killed.

Finally, the entire family of the captain, young and old members, were murdered. Due to the group's earlier disbandment, the remaining scroll was left to the captain's son.

"Is the scroll snatched away in the end?" Sui Xiong coldly asked.

"Did the birth of your "Family Extermination" title come from that war too?"

"That's right… I took my savings out to hire thieves and spread false news, making the Iron Sand Chamber of Smugglers think that another organization wanted to have a bloody fight with them. All of them retreated to their headquarters. Then, I carried my sword and killed all of them from the big gate to the inside," Ray coldly said, his face emotionless.

That fight was extremely fierce. The widely famous Iron Sand Chamber of Smugglers disappeared. All the key members of the chamber of commerce were killed, except for some lucky escapees. He didn't let a single chick or dog slip away. The title of "Family Extermination" also came from this.

Also starting from that day, he was no longer an adventurer, but became a lonesome thief.

Ironically, when Ray killed everyone on the way to the room of the President of the Pellet Smuggling Chamber of Commerce, he discovered that the President was in a secret room, which was completely isolated from the outside world. He then, very carefully activated the scroll and made a wish: "I want bottomless wealth that can never be used up."

Therefore, Ray chopped down on him with one sword, conveniently stuck a gold coin on his body, and said, "If you have an ability to use up, then feel free to use it."

After that, he raised the spear and put it into his heart.

"Well done!" Sui Xiong praised him. He thought carefully for a bit, then smiled and said, "His wish indeed looks like it had come true. It seems like he really 'can't use up all the wealth'…"

"That's right, he can't use up all the wealth," Ray beamed with a mocking smile. "After going through that event, I have developed an intense vigilance and antipathy towards 'wishing magic.' I always feel that this magic is extremely unreasonable, but avoiding it might be too late."

"This kind of wishing magic doesn't bring any good result. It is simply too bad or getting worse and worse."

This time, Sui Xiong had completely understood where his spiteful attitude toward the wishing magic came from. It was from all of his bloody lessons!

It was probably like Sui Xiong and his friend that had unstable nerves in a game before. This friend used to beat down four in a team battle, and he, in one blow, also destroyed five people on the opponent's team. Under good circumstances, he suddenly burst out a muddle-headed move, and buried the victory in his hand… In short, most of the time, he was muddle-headed, and the break out circumstance was very rare.

Therefore, when they played games together for several months, pitifully, Sui Xiong was not only unable to promote his competitive level, but his Golden rank also fell to Silver.

Since then, whenever the team made a conversation about "unstable nerves," he always found all kinds of reasons to decline…

"But, the perfect wishing magic is different!" he said. "The magic will not bring such an obnoxious result!"

"After all, it is still wishing magic, what is the difference between them?" Ray asked back.

Sui Xiong was upset as he explained in a loud voice, "The wishing magic is a mortal magic, while the perfect wishing magic is a God magic. These two are completely different! Not the same!"

"What is the difference?"

"The effect!"

"So what is the difference in terms of the effect?"

"The perfect wishing magic will not give a 'malicious result'." Sui Xiong raised one tentacle straight up, as if pointing a finger, to increase his persuasion, "If the wishing does not get a good result, this magic will automatically roll back, and recover the state when the wish had not yet been made."

The perfect magic of course would not really "make the dream come true." It could be used as a God magic. It had a mechanism to fix mistakes perfectly. If the wish was not implemented in the way that was favorable for the one making the wish, it would automatically abolish this wish, and at the same time, give the individual another wish.

For example, suppose that Ray agreed to the wish of "I want to be the strongest warrior in the World." If he made this wish, then he would be gifted with another wish; "This wish could not be processed, please alter, or wish again."

As the result, he would not waste a precious wish. He could make a little bit of an adjustment like "I want to become a warrior who is stronger than a giant dragon," or "I want to become a super fast warrior with a God power."

"In other words, the perfect wishing magic could guarantee that the wish will be executed directly, even if the situation might not be completely perfect, it would not entrap you. Right?" Ray was silent for a while.

Sui Xiong beamed, "Uhm, it is probably like this."

Ray was silent again for a very long time, then patted Steele's shoulder.

"Although I feel that the possibility of you turning into a pig is relatively big, you will be like a prodigal son that changed entirely. A perfect wishing magic is worth trying your best!"

Even though, it was unknown how many deeds she had to accumulate, or how much gratitude she had to earn to light up the flame inside the blue bracelet, it would definitely be a ridiculous number, at least this was clearly a "wish!"

In this world, countless powerhouses couldn't make their wishes come true and died with regret. No matter how much effort they had put into it, or how ever many dangers they had been through, more than half of them couldn't implement their wishes.

The legendary shaman who had invented the wishing magic was a tragic example. She was originally a princess of a country. When she was cultivating magic, she knew that her country had been destroyed by the war and her family and friends all died.

To save her country, she had spent thousands of months and years researching magic, then finally came up with the wishing magic. This magic didn't have the ability to achieve her goal, despite the fact that even a God had to glance at her mighty power. The result she got was just the alteration of written history, only obtaining a "saved" part in the books.

Later on, this great shaman died in endless regret. Her strength and willpower shook the world. In the end, she became a newborn god, the God of Regret. That was a God who was in pain because she couldn't make her wish come true. Her smile was cold as she looked at the mortal in grief, the God of Grief.

A terrible Devil God.

Neither Ray nor Sui Xiong knew that the appearance of the perfect wishing magic was related to the great Devil God. The one who invented this magic was the teacher of the Devil God, a great and formidable sage that no God could be compared to.

In order to save the spirit of his disciple, he had spent the time of several hundred years to invent this magic.

In the end, the perfect wishing magic could not make up for the regret of the Devil God, but it could reduce a little bit regret in a mortal.

And now, the ill-fated Steele just wanted to try harder to accumulate as many good deeds as possible to implement a wish.

Of course… the first condition was that she had to accumulate enough good deeds.

After hearing these things, Steele rolled her eyes and dropped her jaw. She looked at the blue bracelet on the back of her hand, and mumbled, "A perfect wishing magic, wish…"

After she said this for a while, her eyes looked mischievous. A flame lit up ceaselessly inside the red bracelet on the back of her left hand.

If it weren't for Ray waking her up and bringing her back from the illusion, Steele would have turned into a pig.

When she saw the red bracelet on the back of her left hand was lit up with seven flames, her face looked like she was about to cry.

"It is just a little bit of imagination. How can it be this serious…" Along the way, she continued prattling in a low voice.

Ray, of course, didn't hear as he was concentrating on running.

Around the fifteenth time or the sixteenth time of hearing her babbling, Sui Xiong finally couldn't take it anymore, and he glared at Steele angrily.

"Do you still have a face to complain? The limitation I've set for you is quite broad. With just an imagination, you can light up that bracelet with so many flames. You should look for the cause from within yourself!"

"I've just done a little simple thinking!" Steele miserably spoke. "I've just thought a little bit about circumstances that I can't play on normal days…"

Sui Xiong didn't say anything further, swung his tentacle and gave her a smack.

"Correct your thinking, dismiss evil thoughts!" He roared brutally. "If you had already turned into a pig, I would have roasted you right away!"

Steele retracted her head, and didn't dare to say anything else as she flew forward to investigate the road.

But in the end, she still couldn't control her evil thinking. About two days later, once again they passed a Tree Fairy village. Due to being constrained for so long, when she saw a robust man with a bare upper body chopping wood, she couldn't hold back anymore.

The flame on the back of her left hand was surging on crazily. In the blink of an eye, twelve flames were fully lit.

While walking toward that rare muscular Tree Fairy with the intention of striking up a conversation, Steele surprisingly exclaimed as she was surrounded by raging flames that burst from the back of her hand. All the villagers who had seen this scene freaked out.

The dark red flames came and went quickly. From the beginning to the end, no more than three seconds, they had vanished completely without a trace.

After the flames disappeared, the thing that was left behind was not a person with severe burns, but it was a pig.

There was a small, fat, round pig with a light pink bow on its head.

This pig's was about half the size of a normal person's arm. From head to tail was around one meter, and its body was smooth and round. On its back was a pair of small bat wings.

There was not the slightest trace of fierceness, but on the contrary, a silly feeling. It used its two hind legs to stand up straight like a human. In the middle of its chest and stomach there was a giant red hoop with twelve flames slowly burning inside.

This little pig didn't have a stinky smell like other pigs. Its eyes were also abnormally large and very lively. It dumbfoundedly looked ahead— that robust man picked up a water bucket and rushed over.

He looked as if he wanted to rescue her, but he didn't know what to do.

After being in a daze for a while, Steele, who had turned into a pig, finally understood what had happened.

She looked at the opposite party for a bit, then immediately lowered her head to check her arms and feet. For a pudgy little pig, this movement was indeed really hard. She finally roared out loud.

"Zuo suo zuo mo huo!"

"Your Majesty, what is she saying?" Ray curiously asked.

"It is probably 'what is this…?'" When he saw the collapsing face of the little pink pig drenched with tears, and leaning on the thigh of the robust man while crying out loud, Sui Xiong couldn't help but laugh.

Very obviously, no matter how intense the desire flame inside Steele was, that Tree Fairy robust man would not be estranged by a pig, especially by a small pig like this. Even normal pets like cats and dogs were not considered heavily built.

Therefore after crying bitterly for a while, she finally couldn't do anything else but follow Ray, and continue their journey. She bid farewell to the robust Tree Fairy man, who had mesmerizing eyes, the back of a tiger, the waist of a bear, and also a good heart.

After traveling a little ways, Ray's emotions were a little unbalanced.

"Why can you fly after turning into a pig?" He asked.

Steele flapped her wings, flying slowly behind Ray's back, and answered, "Wo yo zuo duo."

"In general she says 'I also don't know,'," This time, Sui Xiong didn't wait for Ray to ask and immediately translated. "In fact, her words are also not very hard to understand. Every word of hers has some ao sound. If you listen carefully, you will understand."

Ray then carefully listened again after hearing Sui Xiong's instruction, but he still shook his head like before.

Steele's "pig dialect" was indeed too abstruse and unfathomable. Except for a God who had the assistance of spiritual sensing, it was indeed difficult to understand her words.

It was also not convenient for him to ask Sui Xiong to translate. After discussing with Steele, he pulled out an ax, chopped a tree into many big and small logs, then gave them to Steele to use as paper.

Whenever Steele wanted to say something she could use dark power to write on the wood log. Although her writing speed was not fast, it was faster than Sui Xiong's translation.

As for these wood logs, Steele had tools to store her things, bringing a bunch of them was not a problem.

After writing, using the wood to make fire was also not a bad idea…

By using this method, the communication between Steele and Ray became much easier. Questions about this pig were slowly solved as well.

First of all, regarding the flying problem, don't mistake the small and short wings of this little pig as an ornament. Just like before, Steel's flying didn't really rely on the flapping of her wings. These wings themselves were like a magic tool which could provide flying ability. As for their look, it was just a secondary thing.

After turning into a pig, Steele had lost her best ability which was seduction. Other magic was also sealed, only her treatment magic could be used normally.

As compensation, her physical strength was greatly enhanced. In a short time, she could actually fight with Ray. If one saw her appearance, they wouldn't think this little, pink pet pig could possess abnormal power and extremely quick agility!

Unfortunately, the little pig's fighting state didn't last too long. After a short while, she immediately felt hungry. After feeling hungry, the fighting strength decreased tremendously. It seemed like she belonged to the explosive athletic type, her endurance was very problematic.

Ray's problem generally was answered, while the problem that Stelle worried about the most was saved for Sui Xiong to answer.

After turning into a pig, can I ever change back into a human shape?

"Of course, yes," Sui Xiong said. "My goal was not to turn you into a pig. I just want to rely on the pig transformation to punish and restrain you. There are twelve flames on your chest. The fuel for these flames is the evil thoughts inside of you. After burning all the evil thoughts, when the twelve flames are put out, you can return to your human shape."

But the flames didn't burn long, or maybe it was because there weren't many evil thoughts contained inside Steele's mind, but not long after they left the Ancient Forest, the twelve flames were nearly exhausted. A gush of smoke rose with a puff of air, and Steele in adventurer's clothes appeared in front of them again.

"Gosh! I can finally change back!"

Steele jumped out of joy. She held a mirror to look around, and couldn't help but cry of happiness.

But at this moment, Ray brought up another problem.

"Steele, when you turned into a pig before, there was only a bow. How can you wear clothes after changing back to human form?" Speaking of which, he couldn't help but feel more annoyed when he recalled Steel's situation before she turned into a pig, "When you turned into a pig, your outfit didn't fall here, where on earth did it go?"

Steele, of course, had no way to answer this problem. With her underdeveloped knowledge about magic, she didn't even have any research on pig transformation situation, not to mention he lack of in-depth study about such an advanced issue like where her clothes had gone.

Therefore, the one capable of answering this question was no doubt Sui Xiong.

"I didn't pay attention to this." Sui Xiong was a little bit sorry as he said, "Before, I didn't consider the problem that a pig also needs to wear clothes. Moreover, because I wanted to emphasize the twelve flames on your chest, I didn't design clothes for you… Wait a minute. Let me carefully consider. I will help you design suitable pig clothes."

"No need," Steele shook. "Don't you find a pig wearing clothes really strange?"

Sui Xiong was a little surprised, turned to Ray to ask, "Would you feel strange if you saw a small pig wearing clothes?"

Sui Xiong didn't think it was strange. Before jumping space here, he usually saw owners putting clothes on their dogs. Hence, a pig wearing clothes was also a very reasonable matter.

However, he didn't quite understand the traditional customs of this world. After jumping space, he didn't stay in a bustling area. Therefore, he wasn't really sure whether or not pets in this world wore clothes.

Ray recalled for a while then shook his head. "First, I have never seen anyone raise a pig as a pet. Perhaps some shamans raise particular pigs to be devil pets… I am not certain about that. Secondly, I have never seen anyone put clothes on their pets; except for a beautiful young girl or boy raising pets to do perverted things."

"Damn it! How can this world also have that kind of pervert?"

"There are perverts everywhere. Especially among the wizards, there are all kinds of crazy things, too many to count…" Ray said pensively. "There might be people who put clothes on their pets. For example, if one summons a Pique goblin to be a devil pet, then it will definitely wear clothes."

Sui Xiong nodded nonstop, then turned to Steele, asking, "So is this your wish? Do you want to wear clothes when you are turned into a pig?"

"No need for that," Steele immediately answered without thinking, "Wearing clothes is good for keeping warm. Not wearing clothes is convenient. Both are alright. We are heading south right now, and the weather is getting warmer and warmer. There is no need to keep warm, so why would I need to wear clothes?"

Her words were very reasonable. It still sounded strange in some parts but Sui Xiong was still convinced in the end.

"In fact, from my point of view, I do hope that you can maintain your human shape. Don't want you to turn into a pig." He used his tentacle to pat Steele's shoulder, trying to cheer her up. "You have to learn to control your desire, become an owner, not a slave to desire. If one wants to grow and achieve, one must learn to restrain their desire!"

"Just think about it, if last year you could have restrained your desire, maybe now you would have been a Lady of a dominion! If you could restrain your desire, you would not have turned into a pig…"

While he was rambling nonstop about Chicken Soup for the Soul to Steele in the hope of clearing up the desires in her head, Ray couldn't help but sigh.

"How are things?" Sui Xiong asked.

Ray pointed at Steele's left hand.

On the back of her hand, the first flame slowly flared up in the originally empty bracelet.

It seemed like this woman was incurable!

"Steele…" Sui Xiong couldn't help but deeply sigh, giving up on advising.

"You'd better learn to be a good pig!"

Chapter 86: Chapter 86

The Forest of Remote Antiquity was very big. The closer the border was, the wider the trails in the forest were.

Judging by the woodcutting remains on the roadside, the Druids were likely in pain, but Ray felt very comfortable because this meant he was about to leave this boundless vast forest and once again come back to the human society!

Yet, there was a saying that went, 'Never mistake a clear view for short a distance.' In the morning, they clearly felt that they were close to the edge of the forest, but it was long past sunset when they really left the forest and saw a city which was built adjacent to it.

This was not a big city, but very high walls surrounded it. In the center of the city there was an outstanding building which was like a landmark. It suddenly rose from the ground towering majestically over the landscape. It was twice as tall as the other architecture and was like a giant standing among a crowd, looking down on the commoners.

It was a magic tower, accommodation for advanced casters, an important stronghold, their library, their scientific research center, their inheritance place, and the last burial place for them.

"Phew! Finally, I've gotten out of the forest!" Seeing this tall magic tower, Ray couldn't help but exclaim and smilingly said, "The characteristics of cities in the Commonwealth of Mifata are very clear. Each city revolves around the construction of a magic tower. Therefore, seeing the magic tower means one has arrived in the city. With a glance, one would see it clearly."

"It is probably a good choice to build a city like this," Sui Xiong said. "Many advanced casters live inside the magic tower who could protect the city residents. And the existence of the city residents also helps the city become prosperous which makes the living conditions of the casters better, so that they can have a better mental state to concentrate on researching."

"Indeed. Therefore, although the Commonwealth of Mifata has been established for less than a thousand years, it has become the magic research center of the main plane. Even though there are many seniors still attached to the tradition that "a caster should stay away from the mortal world" and look down upon the philistine lifestyles of these casters, many youngsters have long considered this place as the Holy Land of the casters. Every year, there are many people who come from different places with the hope of having a chance to step into this profound magic field and become a mighty mystic caster."

"Did you come here that year?" Sui Xiong asked.

Ray was silent for a while, then nodded.

"So, would anyone here recognize you?" Sui Xiong asked again.

"Probably not." Ray lowered his voice to say, "… After that event, they would probably get involved, too. Being able to stay alive was already good for them, but not being able to recognize me is actually the best."

"Don't worry, no one will recognize you. Don't forget that your face has been completely changed."

Ray nodded and forced a smile, but his face looked kind of sad.

Every time he recalled some old stories, he would be sad for a long time.

When seeing Ray so sorrowful, Steele would praise him ceaselessly.

"Although I can't take him, I have to admit that he is indeed exceedingly handsome when he is sad! There isn't any kind of normal feeling of being dejected from you, but on the contrary, you exude a prestigious temperament which is really like a majestic prince in the knight legends. Ah, apparently he is really a prince, although his inheritance right might have been taken already…"

As a result of her saying these words, Ray was outraged and beat her with firewood. Although he normally didn't hit women, these words had angered Ray, as they were taboos for him. If she dared to insult him, then he would not be merciful toward her.

The little pink pig flapped its wings and flew around Ray to enjoy the rare scene of the "melancholy prince' from different angles. Sui Xiong thought if Steele had been living on earth, right now, she would have taken out her mobile phone and snapped several pictures.

There were naturally guards at the city gate. These guards were fully dressed in shiny armor and equipped with long swords and halberds. Each one of them was sturdy and tall, full of energy. At first glance, one would know they were elites. The assigned clerk who led them worked very responsibly. First, he welcomed them to the Green Tree city, then meticulously asked about Ray's identity, and at the same time registered him.

"Does everyone need to register?" Sui Xiong curiously asked. "Doesn't it waste a lot of time?"

This clerk was about forty years old. He slightly pushed his pair of round glasses up his nose and smilingly said, "Of course, not everyone needs to register. In reality, I remember all the city residents in Green Tree city. Only those I don't know and are powerful need to register."

"You have a good view!" Sui Xiong said enthusiastically. "Many people judge others by appearance, but you are not like that. No wonder you are entrusted with such a heavy responsibility!"

"That's right, a person must not be ordinary when he has two magic pets such as a floating jellyfish and a flying pig!"

If it weren't for Ray grabbing Sui Xiong with his left hand and Steele with his right hand and pulling them back, this clerk with an excellent memory might have been beaten down, and his face might have been imprinted marks from pig feet.

"Who is a magic pet?!" Sui Xiong was still angry and discontented even when they settled down in a hotel. "This man is completely blind! He dare rank a strong, mighty man like me as a low-level creature like a magic pet!"

'Suo ha! Suo ha! Luo muo niu dou bo lou sou!" (That's right! That's right! He couldn't even recognize a beautiful woman!). Steele also yelled angrily, took out a wood log, quickly wrote several pieces of criticisms, and labeled the clerk as worthless.

On one hand, Ray tried to hold back his laughter because he was on the verge of laughing, and on the other hand, he had to comfort these two. It indeed was very hard for him.

Luckily, these two didn't have good memories. Their anger came fast but also left fast. Judging from this aspect, in fact, Sui Xiong and Steele's personalities suited each other really well despite the huge difference in their values. After a while, Sui Xiong urged Ray to go out and try the culinary delicacies of the Country of Casters. At the same time, Steele also expressed her desire to see if this place had any amusing specialties as she wanted to buy some of them to play.

They were not rich, but absolutely not poor either. As an adventurer who was just one step away from the legendary realm, as well as a solitary chief thief, Ray had extremely abundant assets. Before, he had already used up more than half of his assets to seize the crystal containing the supernatural power of life, but the remaining assets of his were enough for a normal person to live a well-off and stable life for several decades.

During the time they were adventuring, the number of assets they had acquired was also significant. Only those mighty demon beasts that they had hunted along the way had a surprising amount of wealth. Needless to say, the evil dragon accounted for the majority of their wealth.

Not to mention others. The venomous snake which was used as the research base for the alchemical grandmaster, Wendy, had lived for more than 450 years for sure, maybe close to 500. It had accumulated a stunning amount of wealth. At the first glance, it might not be anything, but the evil dragon "Brutal Burner," Uherskreider, which wreaked havoc ruthlessly in the human world had lived for more than a thousand years. Considering its race, this number was very scary.

Wendy had carefully studied and found that the snake was in fact just a normal species. Under normal circumstances, a snake that lived for up to thirty years would be considered long-lived, and those that lived for fifty years were considered lucky snakes. But this snake had lived for more than 500 years. To humans, the existence of this snake was like a strange elderly person living for almost a thousand years compared to the human's average age of more than fifty years and the long-lived age of eighty to ninety years.

The protection of human rights in this world was far inferior to that on earth. If a thousand-year-old man appeared, he might be likely chopped up for research just like that snake.

Then how much did a part of this valuable research material cost? Everyone had different opinions about that. According to Wendy, maybe it was just a research topic that was not bad, suitable for killing time in the magic tower. According to Steele, it was a treasure that helped the nobility and the rich prolong their life expectancies and it was indeed priceless. According to Ray, this thing that could help those old b*stards who had been rotten to the bone live several years more should have been smashed into pieces because it was worthless… But one thing that could not be denied was that it was a precious treasure.

While hiking through thick and thin, they had acquired many similar things as well.

Therefore, when they strolled down the street with a pocket full of money, they were very confident.

They came to the most luxurious restaurant in the city first, but they were stopped at the door when they wanted to enter. The gate-keeping guard said that this restaurant only accepted guests wearing formal suits; it didn't allow pets inside either.

"What if the guest is an honorable cast?" Ray asked as he didn't believe that the casts wouldn't be allowed this privilege in this country of casters.

"It is the same for casters. The caster has to dress in formal attire for casters, keep the pets in a special space bag, or temporarily cancel the summoning. This is the rule." The guard was sturdy, tall, and handsome. He looked more like a fashion model than a gate-keeping guard. He didn't hesitate in saying, "This regulation has never been changed even after many years!"

He sounded very confident.

Ray frowned. His experience told him that the backing of this restaurant was first-rate and it must have a complex relation network. He thought that there was no need to make a fuss here, but instead, leaving was the correct choice.

But Sui Xiong didn't want to leave in this way and tried to negotiate a little more, "Why do you think I am a pet? We don't have pets here. We are just adventurers of different races."

"Low-level creatures are not allowed in." The handsome guard didn't show any intention of compromising. On the contrary, his tone was more caustic and spiteful, "All of you can come in, but it is just that… a jellyfish that can talk and a pig that can fly can be made into a jellyfish salad and roasted pork. Those two are special dishes."

"We don't want to make a fuss," Ray sighed. He thought it was inevitable that they would have a fight.

"I am not making a fuss… Give me a price. The jellyfish and the pig are not bad, and buying them to make delicious dishes is not a bad idea either." The smile of the handsome guard looked harsh, but his eyes became colder and colder.

It seemed that no matter what they chose, this guy appeared to want to fight.

But Sui Xiong didn't make a move, he just coldly laughed, "Formal attire? Pets prohibited? Really simple!"

After saying this, he waved his tentacles and a blue light covered Ray and Steele. When the light dissolved, a poor adventurer and a pig now turned into a handsome man and a beautiful woman in luxurious attire.

After that, Sui Xiong quickly transformed himself into a super burly chap standing at eight feet tall and eight feet wide. Although he was wearing gorgeous attire, he was ugly enough to make people have nightmares.

"Do we meet the requirements in this way?" The burly chap, who couldn't be verified as human or not, spoke in a low muffled voice. Although he was asking, his tone didn't have the slightest hint of inquiring, but on the contrary, was quarrelsome.

He thought, "My motto is 'use kindness to treat kindness and use evil intention to treat evil intention.' I, brother Xiong, have never been a coward who restrains his anger after being bullied!"

Sui Xiong's action was close to provoking the guard and anger flashed in his guard's eyes, but the guard immediately suppressed it.

If a "pet" was able to display such a magic transformation, its owner would not be a character that was easy to deal with. As a man serving in the country of casters, this handsome guard, of course, had certain judgments. Therefore, he immediately gave up his original intention. He didn't show his rage and use power, but instead, he had a smiling face and hospitably invited them in. He even arranged an exclusive room for them and continuously, like flowing water, brought in wine and good food.

This transformation was indeed a switch from arrogance to deference. Behind this was the face of a snob.

But they must admit that there was a reason why the waiters in their hotel called the hotel "the best restaurant in the Green Tree city." Although the portions of the dishes and wine were not much, their tastes were not like any other normal cuisine. They were exquisite and special. There were all kinds of styles here of a luxurious class— of course, the price was also luxuriously high.

Luckily, Sui Xiong's group had a lot of money and didn't care about the price.

"Ha, indeed Buddha needs golden clothes and the human needs clothes. Only a set of clothes immediately changed the way people treat us!" Sui Xiong ate happily, laughed loudly and said, "Still, having money is very good! Wearing glamorous clothes, eating delicate dishes, and we don't need to worry about the expensive price, just eat as much as we want. Especially when I think of the look on that b*astard's face at the time, the taste of this delicious food is enhanced somehow!"

Ray wasn't as happy as Sui Xiong. He didn't eat very much and he looked out the window sometimes as if looking for something unknown.

"Ray, today you don't look so happy. Why aren't you eating that much?" Sui Xiong pointed to Steele who was eating elegantly, yet very quickly, "You see, you even eat less than Steele…"

Ray sighed. "I am afraid that if I eat too much, it won't be conducive for fighting later on!"

"What? Fight?"

While he hadn't finished his words yet, a magic light suddenly rose and covered the entire room.

Following the magic light, the air inside the room seemed to condense as well. After that, the door of the gate opened and the handsome guard led four robust men with fierce-looking faces in.

"How dare you not ask what this place is for?! And you dare to come here to make trouble!" The guard snorted coldly, "Beat them! Hit the couple gentler. But first, cut off the legs of this heavy man and then let's decide what to do with him!"

As the brawny men approached, Sui Xiong, who should have been tied up and unable to move, suddenly spoke,

"The cost of this magic formation is high. One activation might be equivalent to casting an advanced magic spell, right?"

Those men were astonished and stood there bewildered, not knowing what to do. For many years, they had met people who had come to make trouble more than once, but had never seen those who could talk while tied up.

The handsome guard reacted very quickly. He didn't say anything further, but turned around and ran away. He only made it half a step before he was bound by a tentacle from behind and was pulled back.

In the meantime, the brawny men were also tied up by tentacles. They looked like a bunch of pigs waiting to be butchered, piled up on the ground.

Sui Xiong, who turned the five fingers on his left hand into five tentacles and tied up the guard and four brawny men, sneered and then snapped the fingers of his right. The magic formation covering the entire room suddenly let out a glass shattering sound and then disappeared without any trace.

"All right, let's have a sincere conversation." He waved his hand randomly, extended a tentacle and closed the door. Then, very quickly, he changed back to his jellyfish shape.

However, the one who appeared in front of the guard and bunch of hired thugs was not a small jellyfish used as a hat, but a huge jellyfish that could swallow a person alive!

"Your restaurant really meets my standards!" Sui Xiong said, "The wine and foods are delicious and I am very satisfied. The magic formation is not bad and I am very satisfied with it too. I am only not satisfied with the entertainment program after eating. People usually invite beautiful women to dance here. Why did you bring a bunch of brawny men?"

"In reality, it's not bad to have brawny men dance here," Steele said.

Sui Xiong rolled a big piece of meat with his tentacle and stuffed it into her mouth.

"So, let's talk then." Sui Xiong turned his head and addressed the group of five embarrassed and scared men, "Although we have had a little misunderstanding, using an advanced magic formation for just a little misunderstanding doesn't seem right, does it? I find this matter very strange and very unreasonable! Can you give me a reasonable explanation?"

After speaking, he casually rolled a big beast bone as thick as one's wrist with his tentacle, and brought it to his mouth. Biting it off, he chewed it up like eating a bunch of salty biscuits.

This scene was scary to the point of causing the hired thugs' legs to shake crazily. If it wasn't for their spine, they might have suffered urine incontinence. Luckily, the handsome guard was a bit braver than the rest. Though scared to death, he had the guts to answer, "For those who dare to make trouble in our restaurant, we always fiercely hit them hard. We don't mind the cost but we have to crush their arrogance! One thing you have to know is that this big restaurant is prone to being attacked. If we hadn't used such a cruel scheme to scare others, our restaurant might have been replaced long ago!"

"It sounds reasonable…" Sui Xiong was silent and fell into his thoughts.

"Don't believe his bullshit!" Seeing Sui Xiong about to be deceived, Ray sneered and spoke, "I'll bet that behind the owner of this restaurant is backed by at least one advanced caster who might be the current owner of the magic tower of Green Tree. As long as the backer doesn't collapse, no one would dare to do anything to them even if they are courageous. They use this excuse to deceive those who don't have enough knowledge about the Confederation of Mifata!"

"But he didn't lie," Sui Xiong said. "I can confirm this point."

"One doesn't necessarily lie to deceive others," Ray said dismissively. "All in all, deceiving others is too easy because they can say half of the truth or say nine true sentences and one false one. You should not be too dependent on your power, but should learn more about the ways of the world. The magic for sure is a good thing, but wisdom is way more important than magic!"

"Good! Wisdom is way more important than magic!" The door was opened again with applause. A twenty-something year old, handsome young man arrogantly came in, "It is the famous quote of the great Sage who established the Confederation of Mifata and is also the most famous proverb in our Confederation. I didn't expect such words to come from an outsider. Judging from your outfit, I think you might be the kind of rude person who just knows how to use violence, but your words make you like an erudite noble gentleman. The contrast is like a surprising opera: beyond everyone's expectation! Being able to see such a scene isn't a waste of my time in coming here."

"Who are you?" Sui Xiong unwelcomingly asked as he squinted his eyes.

Because he had almost been deceived, he was in a bad mood.

"Me? All of you are standing in my estate," The young man smilingly said. "If you want to know my name, although you aren't qualified given your identities, your words really made me satisfied. Therefore, remember carefully, I am Kahn Green."

His laugh was very haughty. It was as if knowing his name was a very glorious thing for Sui Xiong and the others.

"What is the relationship between you and the Grandmaster Green who built the magic tower of Green Tree?" Ray asked in a low tone.

"This question is very hard to answer because I would have to add several 'grand' before the word 'grandfather' so as to call him." Kahn laughed arrogantly like before and said, "It is just that you are thinking too much. Having connected with me is already a lucky thing for people like you. As for how he is right now, it is not something all of you should care about."

Ray slowly squinted his eyes and pressed his hand against the hilt of his sword.

This young man all along didn't show a clear enmity, nor did he show any intention of a fight, but somehow he gave Ray a deep, dangerous feeling.

This guy could not be underestimated!

Sui Xiong didn't think that much. He was in a bad mood and wanted to vent. Just then the most suitable target presented itself. Therefore, he rudely asked, "You are the owner of this restaurant? This is good news! I want to complain! How do you do business? Because of such a trivial misunderstanding, you immediately want to beat us? Do you know any law?! Is there any justice in your mind?"

"Of course not." Kahn didn't change his look and calmly answered, "I am a mage who only respects wisdom. Law? Justice? Those are toys that normal people use to hypnotize themselves. Why do I need to waste time remembering or caring about them?"

Sui Xiong was momentarily speechless. This guy behaved as if this were natural and what he was talking about was in line with the principles of heaven and earth. Sui Xiong indeed couldn't think of what to say to a guy like him.

This was like how using words to make Steele completely repent and change her attitude was almost impossible.

"Seems like… you are not here to reconcile but to quarrel?" He lowered his voice, saying, "Seems like you really have confidence in your ability!"

"Confidence?" Kahn arrogantly smiled again, "Only the weak need those things. To a genius like me, success and victory come naturally."

After saying this, he opened his left hand.

In his hand, there was a pocket watch that no one knew when it appeared. The clock hands of the watch spun but didn't produce any sounds.

"Time Freezing?" When Ray saw the pocket watch, he immediately knew what kind of magic the opponent wanted to cast. For a moment, he was frightened and immediately pulled out his sword.

But he knew that most likely he acted too late.

If one compared the art of casting magic to a crown, then "Time Freezing" would be the brightest gem on that crown. It could adjust the time flow of the casters, putting them in an unimaginably fast time flow. In what seemed to be the blink of an eye to other people, the caster could complete an action that should be done in about thirty seconds.

Although, these actions had many limitations. For example, the casters couldn't directly touch the target with any enmity; couldn't use any method that could destroy the structure of the magic such as Magic Removal, and couldn't use any method related to time and space. Those thirty seconds when the time was paused was already an insurmountable advantage. As long as one could utilize those short thirty-seconds well, he would easily defeat his opponent even if his opponent was a giant dragon.

If one was faced with an opponent that cast such magic, they would die usually when they came to their senses if they didn't have the appropriate method to fight back.

Due to the protection of His Majesty Void Mask, Ray wasn't worried for his life. But he couldn't help but feel frustrated that he would be defeated.

"This young man named Kahn seems approximately ten years younger than me, but I am too far behind to catch up him in terms of strength. Having been through many ups and downs in the west wilderness for several years, I, who used to be complimented as a genius, am outdone by the genius of the new generation."

"It was like a proverb that His Majesty Void Mask used to say, 'As the sea surges on wave upon wave, so the old generation dies on the beach.'"

Before, Ray was also the "new wave" that surged the older waves which were made dead on the beach…

The characteristic of "Time Freezing" magic was a gem watch.

Many types of magic needed to use a certain kind of material as a catalyst, and the "Time Freezing" was not an exception. Aside from a gem that many types of advanced magic needed, it also needed a watch with accurate time. The specific shape and size didn't matter, but it just needed to run accurately.

To cast magic conveniently, casters usually used a special pocket watch with many gems inlaid. It ran very accurately so it fully met the requirements of this magic.

Among the known magic, the material to cast this magic was unique. Therefore, whenever a caster took out a pocket watch during battle, they mostly wanted to cast this magic.

In fact, as long as one could satisfied with two requirements of "accurate time measurement" and "many kinds of gems," what was required to cast this magic was not necessarily a gem pocket watch. For example, some casters from some ancient schools preferred to use a gem hourglass as a material to cast this magic. Seen from another angle, a celestial sphere apparatus made of the gem was also fine. There were many similar things.

However, a gem pocket watch was always the first choice. First, a pocket watch itself was a good accessory and could be conveniently used to measure time. Second, among the relatively convenient materials, it was the cheapest; although, the cost of making a gem pocket watch was higher than two thousand gold coins, which was enough to make a low-level caster go bankrupt.

Ray reached for his sword and rushed forward. He didn't dare to delay even a moment; he only hoped that he could be quick enough to slash right at his opponent before the opponent completed casting this magic.

But it turned out that he was slower.

When his sword was just about to be unsheathed, there was a click that came from the pocket watch in Kahn's hand, and it then stopped.

In the instant when the watch stopped, everything in the room lost its color, turning into a simple picture of black and white. Only Kahn, who was holding the pocket watch in his hand, maintained his usual color. This proved that right now he was independent of time.

At this moment, the distance between Ray and Kahn was less than two meters.

Kahn nodded appreciatively to Ray. He guessed that this swordsman might have met high-level casters or even a legendary grandmaster. There weren't many people that knew about such an advanced magic like Time Freezing even if they were casters.

Extremely few people could immediately know what kind of magic he wanted to cast right at the moment of seeing him take out a pocket watch and not hesitating in taking action!

Maybe this swordsman is a person with a noble background or even descendant from some legendary grandmaster. But did his fate end up as a cruel joke with him being unable to inherit the ability to cast magic? He is somewhat pathetic…

But Kahn would not be merciful towards him because of that. Sympathy between talents would be given for those weaklings who were abandoned by destiny.

It would be better for this pathetic swordsman to be killed by me than slowly struggle and rot in an abyss of inability.

Kahn raised his right hand. On his fingers, magic patterns weaved and formed quickly.

The air in front of Ray slightly shook. Some spots became blurry and distorted which were not very conspicuous. If one didn't pay attention to them, one might miss it.

This was the Forcefield Blade, which was an improved and upgraded version of the low-level magic, "Magic Bullets." Its level was not high but it was very useful. Not only did it not need materials, but it was also discreet. The key was that normal physical methods could not fight against it, even an armor with enchantment would lose its effect in front of it, unless the armor with enchantment was attached with a rare Forcefield Protection.

To avoid affecting one's "Super Speed" state, under the circumstance when the time stopped, it was not appropriate to come in contact with the enemy or cast magic to attack directly. Therefore, Kahn used a special method to keep the Forcefield Blade, which should have been shot out, in the air.

It was very hard to resist the Forcefield Blade itself, not to mention the Forcefield Blade kept in the air and would be shot after the Time Freezing ended.

It was likely that when the Time Freezing ended, these invisible and sharp blades would suddenly appear in front of Ray and quickly shoot toward their target. Maybe, before Ray could pay attention to them, he might be shot by them.

The Forcefield Blade was far sharper and scarier than ordinary flying-knives. If one was hit by them, it would be very hard for the wounds to heal. Even if Ray could rely on his superb reaction to avoid getting fatally injured, many cuts on his body would create a group of wounds, which would make him completely lose his ability to move. He would only be able to lie on the ground and die after losing so much blood.

The Time Freezing together with the Forcefield Blade should have been enough already, but Kahn didn't stop there. He cast magic for the second time. This time, the air around him started to vibrate quickly. The invisible power condensed into many sharp knives, centering and protecting him.

That was the Blade Barrier, a very effective protective magic.

His magic casting wasn't finished yet. Kahn knew very well how long his Time Freezing could last, so he cast two additional spells.

Honestly, using this much energy to deal with a group of people coming to eat and making trouble was indeed making a big deal out of a trivial thing. But once he had taken action, he would not hesitate or temporarily save it to deal with later.

Carelessness and negligence were two big enemies of a caster. Only sufficient preparation and adequate prudence would help a caster forever stand in an invincible position.

But at this moment, he saw a scene beyond his expectation.

The giant jellyfish suddenly recovered its original green color from the black-white state.

This meant that it had already escaped from the confinement of time like Kahn, and had entered the marvelous Time Freezing state.

How can he do that?! Why does just a jellyfish have this kind of ability? Is it perhaps a transformation of some caster?

Kahn was astonished. He couldn't help but lose his concentration on his magic. On his right hand, a dark power that was about to condense into the magic pattern collapsed in a flash. Even he himself snorted and the blood began to flow out of his nose.

Things like casting magic were a double-edged sword. If carried out successfully, it was enough to hurt the enemy, but it would hurt oneself if it failed.

However, adverse effects due to a failure to cast magic had been something that he had not encountered for a very long time.

Kahn immediately marshalled his thoughts, quickly recovered his composure, and cast another magic again. This time, he intended to cast a "Water Element Extraction." This magic would extract the water inside the enemy's body, and turn it into a water element controlled by the caster. Even though a resilient body could significantly reduce its damage, the more water a body had, the more powerful the effect of this magic would be.

The jellyfish was a large aquatic animal. More than 95% of its body was made of water. This meant its resistance to "Water Element Extraction" would be very low. Moreover, due to its serious demand of water, even if it could rely on its resilient body to block over 90% of the damage, the remaining was enough to break the fluid balance inside its body and make it lose the ability to fight.

All of these thoughts happened in a flash. But with only this thought in mind, Kahn had already found the most suitable magic and quickly cast it.

Due to the fact that until now he had never seen any material related in this aspect, or even considered this type of situation, he could not determine whether or not he could attack when both sides were in the state of Time Freezing. He didn't even think, but immediately chose the magic and shot it straight toward the giant jellyfish.

His intuition told him that in the current situation, a direct attack was no problem as well!

The Water Element Extraction magic turned into a dim grey light and shot right at Sui Xiong, who had just stepped out of the time flow and didn't have time to adapt himself to it.

The big body of the jellyfish shook a bit. A huge amount of water was extracted from it and turned into a powerful water flow. It had a thick and solid trunk and arms that were similar to a human's. But it didn't have a head. On its chest, there was a face that looked like it was wailing. If it was seen at night, it could scare cowards to death without any attack.

That was the water element, and it could barely be seen as a common type among all kinds of elements in the body of animals.

The water element built by magic was roughly as tall as an ordinary person, belonging to a weak one among the mid-level water elements. As for the fighting power, it most likely couldn't beat Steele who had been turned into a pig. This kind of weak power, of course, could not break the confinement of time. Therefore, as soon as it was born, it was immediately motionless. Its blue trunk also lost its color in an instant and turned into a grey frozen object.

But Kahn originally didn't count on its fighting power. He only hoped to extract the water from Sui Xiong.

"The strategy worked!" When he saw the water element taking shape, he could not help but reveal a smile.

By calculating the time, the Time Freezing was about to end. When the Time Freezing ended, he would immediately launch the next attack on this jellyfish and not allow it to recover!

But thirty seconds had passed, and the world was still black and white and everything was frozen as before. No change took place.

"What is wrong?!" Kahn was shocked because he had never seen such a bizarre thing as this.

Time passed little by little. More than ten seconds passed, but the world was still in black and white as before.

Kahn fully opened his eyes and looked around. He was somewhat at a loss, not knowing what to do.

What should I do now? What should I do now? What should I do now?

While he was restless, a green tentacle shot towards him and firmly entangled him.

After that, the world recovered its color and he returned to the normal time flow.

A green shadow flashed. Sui Xiong used one tentacle to stop Ray and another tentacle to block the invisible Forcefield Blades.

The pieces of the Forcefield Blade cut the tentacle and left many atrocious wounds, which recovered immediately. There was not even a single drop of blood.

A green light flashed again. The newly formed Water Element shattered all at once and all of the water was reabsorbed by Sui Xiong again.

After doing all these things, he smilingly said to Kahn whose eyes still looked lifeless, "How are you? How does the Time Freezing feel?"

"Are you the one who is doing this?" Kahn's eyes glistened with surprise. He was skeptical of this.

"After all, I am a god. Is being able to do such a thing so strange?"

Kahn kept silent for a while and then shook his head.

"I failed. Beat me or kill me, you can do whatever you want."

"There is no need to beat or kill you. But I can see that you have too strong a temper and too much pride. This isn't good," Sui Xiong said smilingly. "Well, young man, you can be a little arrogant when writing, but you should be a little more modest when it comes to your conduct and deeds."

"Words of modesty are just a mask that the weak people use to conceal their inability."

"Compared to me, are you a weak person?"

Kahn smiled without showing fear. "The key to deciding the strong and the weak lies in the mind. A king may be very weak. A beggar may be very strong. A strong mind is the fundamental basis of all!"

"Is a beggar with a powerful mind a strong person?"

"A beggar would not have a strong mind. I just said it casually." Kahn shook his head. "A person with a strong mind, of course, has to try hard to make progress. Therefore, they must forever pursue success and temporarily take a rest after gaining success. How can a self-indulgent beggar have a strong mind?"

"So do you think I am strong?"

"You don't have a mind that makes you look down on all creatures. Even if you are a god, this has nothing to do with you being powerful," Kahn resolutely said.

On the matter of his principles, even if faced with a god, he would not concede.

Kahn was a person with an extremely strong will. This was the first time Sui Xiong had ever met someone like him who was clearly at a dead end but was still consistently confident without showing the slightest hint of weakness or losing spirit.

It was really obvious that this man had received an elite education from a young age, and he must have tried hard to get to his current state.

He was not only a genius, but he was more industrious and persevering than normal people.

If this guy had been on earth, he might have been the kind of hated "child of another family." The smarter, more industrious, better performing, more talented, and more handsome child one might be compared to…

It was very hard to convince people like him.

"Forget it, up to you… We still have to come back to the main subject." Sui Xiong shook his head and said, "As I've examined myself, I don't think I have any particular conducts that showed enmity. Although my transformation into a giant made you feel nauseous, I behaved myself when I ate and I will not pay you less than what you deserve. Why on earth did you attack all of us?"

Kahn didn't intend to keep this a secret, and answered in a straightforward way, "Due to your provocative actions. We, of course, must ruthlessly beat to death those who have the guts to provoke me."

He said it very lightly as if it was natural. Sui Xiong didn't need to use spirit sensing but still could see that this was his real thought.

Sui Xiong was silent for a while before asking, "These years, how many people that have provoked you have been beaten to death?"

"I never count that because it's too boring," Kahn said nonchalantly. "I suppose you would count every single fly you hit in a day, but would you be persistent in counting them forever? That is the job of servants."

Sui Xiong sighed and cast a "Detecting Camp" magic.

A magic light flashed. After that, a colorful halo lit up the body of every single person present.

A kind of extremely messy blue light was shed on Sui Xiong's body. This meant that he belonged to the "Chaotic Good" camp which refused to follow social orders, and did good deeds according to their will like the knight-errants who robbed the rich to help the poor.

But the light on Ray was still as red as before, which was the symbol of evil. But it had become much dimmer and there was a green light faintly flashing. This meant he was changing from evil to good. His halo was very clean, so he belonged to the type of people that followed the rules and obeyed orders.

The green light on Steele was a little messy, which meant that she didn't take the good and evil problem seriously, but just valued her own free will. The will that she insisted on keeping and her understanding about public order clearly conflicted.

The light on the four hired thugs had a clear green color with a little red hint. This meant they only knew how to loyally implement orders. Their behavior normally tended to be evil, so they were typical villains and lackeys.

The light on Kahn was a clear and even, glaring red and had many disorderly lines. This showed that normally he was willing to follow the social orders, but when necessary, he would choose to break the order after carefully considering. No matter what happened, he just cared about whether he could protect his own benefit. And to gain benefits, it was obvious that he would primarily consider evil methods.

However, among the people there, the one with reddest light was not the malicious young ruffian, Kahn, or Ray, who used to be a solitary thief master, but the handsome guard.

The light on his body was no longer red, but rather black. When a person reached a certain level of evilness, and at the same time didn't think social orders were important and was completely selfish, he would have a color like this.

This was called "Neutral Evil," the purest villain. If there was anyone more evil than him, then that one would only be the "Chaotic Evil" compared to demons in the legends.

Of course, Sui Xiong knew that the results of the Detecting Camp were only used as a reference because its standard seemed to be a bit problematic. At least for him, the standard of the Detecting Camp was not accurate enough, as there were times that its results would be skewed, which made it unsuitable to be used as evidence.

But this didn't affect his amazement about the handsome guard. Sui Xiong couldn't stop being shocked at seeing the guard's light as if he was seeing a rare animal.

"To be honest, I have never thought a gatekeeper could be this evil!" He lamented sincerely, "Generally speaking, regardless of whether a person does good or evil, to do big good or evil always needs a little bit of strength as an assistance. I see that your strength is terrible, but you are ridiculously evil and could be considered a genius among the villain group. Can you share some experience?"

Sui Xiong waved his tentacle to cast magic before the guard had time to answer.

A blue light turned into a curtain of light, covering the handsome guard who was lying on the ground.

"Honesty Magic?" Kahn smiled. "You should have used Truth-confessing Magic. The Honesty Magic could not make the target tell the truth because he could choose to be silent. Only the Truth-confessing Magic can make the target confess all that they know."

"And when this magic expires, that person will also die," Sui Xiong coldly said. "I don't need a villain human to show me how I should cast magic. Before when I learned magic, your ancestors had not even been born yet!"

"I'm twenty-seven years old now and I have already mastered the mystery of the magic. I am able to cast the most advanced magic in normal circumstances," Kahn calmly said. "I am qualified."

Sui Xiong frowned without answering him, but asked the handsome guard to whom he had cast magic on, "What's your name?"

According to his knowledge gained from reading online novels before his space travel, interrogating should begin from subjects that one could not easily lie about.

However, the handsome guard pursed his lips and didn't say a word.

"Hey, you should answer when I ask you a question!" Sui Xiong raised his voice. "Don't force me to use violent methods. Making others open their mouths is not as hard as you'd imagine. You'd better know it."

But he still wouldn't open his mouth.

Sui Xiong frowned. When he wanted to say more to threaten him, Kahn spoke first, "Let me answer this question for him. His name is Roger, my younger brother."

"What?!" Sui Xiong was surprised. By carefully examining these two, he discovered that the two indeed looked somewhat similar.

"Why are you an advanced caster but your younger brother a weak gatekeeper?" He couldn't stand but ask.

"The first reason is that he lacks the talents, and the second is that he couldn't seize enough resources," Kahn answered. "He is a b*stard whose identity is still not publicly acknowledged."

Sui Xiong slightly nodded as he could imagine the clashes and conflicts hidden inside that.

Roger must have certain talents as well but he was far overshadowed by Kahn, an evil genius. The Grandmaster Green definitely had many descendants and each branch would get a limited amount of resources. Such a genius like Kahn might not only use up the resourcew in his own branch but also occupy many resources from other branches. Therefore, Roger could not seize any resources, and he also lost his identity of being a Green.

After all, having one more child only brought about more troubles.

"So, Mr. Roger. Would you tell me why you have enmity towards us? You are just a gatekeeper whose strength is not that great. It seems that you don't need to be like Mr. Kahn who stubbornly beats down those who dare provoke him, right?"

Roger was still silent as before and wouldn't answer.

Sui Xiong finally lost his patience, sneered, and waved his tentacles.

Steele, who originally wore a beautiful noble female outfit that made her look very high-class and elegant, had a burst of smoke emerge from her body, and she returned to her true appearance.

Seeing her wings and tail, Kahn frowned and advised, "You should answer honestly. Doing this is meaningless because ordinary people can't keep secrets in front of a judge from hell. You have done a really good job. This is enough."

Roger stared at Steele with his eyes shaking. He was clearly struggling inside.

But Steele wouldn't wait for him to consider carefully. She had thrown herself at him and kissed him earnestly.

This kiss lasted more than one minute. When their lips finally separated, she had an exceptionally coquettish smile while Roger seriously blushed. His breathing became heavier and his eyes lost their clearness.

The seduction technique of Steele had a power that could not be underestimated. Moreover, when she used the intimate touch to seduce others, even a legendary strongman might not be able to resist her. Although Roger was evil enough, his strength was very average. Therefore, when she gave him a long deep kiss, he was completely trapped. Right now, if she asked him to open his mouth to speak or even to cut his own throat with a knife, he would follow her instruction.

After successfully seducing him, Steele giggled twice, then started to ask questions under Sui Xiong's command, but his answers surprised her dramatically.

When she asked "Why did you go against us?", Roger unexpectedly answered, "At the first glance, all of you looked very strong, so I might take advantage of your strength to make Kahn suffer a great loss."

"What?!" Kahn, who all along stayed cool and collected, finally turned pale in fear. "What kind of nonsense are you talking about?!"

"He doesn't speak nonsense. That is the truth," Sui Xiong said. "Don't forget that he is not only infected with Steele's Seduction Magic but also my Honesty Magic. Right now, it's impossible for him to lie."

"I don't believe it!" Kahn screamed loudly. "That is your evil magic!"

"So, you can cast Honesty Magic yourself. I believe that you know how to use this magic," Sui Xiong said nonchalantly. "Or just like what you said, you can also use the Truth-confessing Magic. In any case, since he has plotted against you, it's natural for you to kill him according to your habits."

Kahn immediately raised his hand, outlining mystic magic patterns in the air with his finger. He wanted to cast his magic.

But he had only draw half of the magic patterns before he could not help but find his fingers tremble, which interrupted the magic casting. And his lips, which should be chanting the spell, were also shivering. He couldn't even speak clearly.

One thing that could be seen was that the relationship between these two brothers was very good. Therefore, Roger plotting against him was a particularly huge blow to this young genius caster.

This was why, for a moment, he could not even steady himself to cast magic.

Although he was a villain, his heart had soft spots. Roger's words were like a sharp knife, stabbing straight into the soft spots of his heart and causing unbearable pain for him.

"Forget it, keep on asking." Sui Xiong sighed and asked Steele to continue.

"Why do you want Kahn to suffer a great loss?" Steele curiously asked.

"Because he took the resources that should have belonged to me!" Roger said fiercely while clenching his teeth. "I am an official heir of the Green family, not to mention that I also have the talent of being a caster. But because of him, all the resources have all been saved for him and his development. Even if he didn't momentarily need them, they were also kept for him! Because of him! In order to let him smoothly take over the property of the family, I have not been able to get the surname of the Green's because they don't want me to become a threat to him!"

"The most resentful thing is that he usually hypocritically leaks some benefits out of his fingers, pretending to care about me. Those things should have been mine!"

The handsome face of Roger became fiercer as he screamed loudly, "As long as he meets misfortune, I'm pleased! It would be the best if he dies! If he dies, with my talents and scheme, the heir to this branch of the Green's would be me!"

Sui Xiong sighed and waved his tentacles. Roger, who was grumbling constantly cursing and insulting Kahn, couldn't see clearly, and fell into a deep sleep.

"Young genius, it seems that you are not as smart as you think you are," Ray, who had kept silent, spoke nonchalantly. "A person who is weak and vulnerable to even one strike from you, has easily deceived you."

Things in this world were usually quite ironic like this. To the brutal and ruthless Kahn, his younger brother Roger was one of the few people that he really cared about. Therefore, when he learned that Roger had betrayed him, he was in grief. His emotions were so stirred up that he wasn't able to cast a simple magic trick. But to Roger, this big brother Kahn was like a towering sky-covering tree, blocking his way to develop, snatching away the sunshine and rainwater that should have belonged to him, and completely shadowing his growth, so that he could not succeed. Hence, he loathed Kahn and it didn't bother him to provoke Sui Xiong's group with the intention of getting Kahn into trouble.

Sui Xiong could not understand the relationship between these two brothers.

"In fact, it is not hard to understand. It is nothing other than jealousy." In this game of scheming, plotting and betraying, Ray was considered experienced and knowledgeable, so he explained. "Kahn is very strong, but he is indeed very lonely. Roger is his family, at a similar age as him, and has a certain talent. To Kahn, Roger is very suitable to be a friend to talk to who satisfies his need for affection as well as doesn't threaten him. And what he has to pay for Roger is just some insignificant things that aren't worth mentioning to him."

"And what about Roger? Although he receives Kahn's care and attention, these things are not what he wants. The thing he wants is to seize those resources of his own, to quickly make progress, and to get countless praise and worship. And in order to get those things, he must compete with Kahn. He obviously can't defeat Kahn. He didn't even dare to show his competitive intention. Thus, jealousy and resentment have accumulated more and more in his heart over time, and everything turned out like this in the end."

"In reality, this kind of matter is very common. In a noble family, if two children, one talented and another excellent, appear simultaneously, then things will usually develop to this extent."

Sui Xiong suddenly realized. At first, he found it was hard to imagine, but after thinking about many TV series scenarios involving romantic affairs, spying and wars, it seemed somewhat reasonable.

As a young man with an innate talent, capabilities, and ambition, of course, Roger thought his career and future were the most important. Superficially, the achievements he had had today were completely thanks to Kahn's guidance. But to think about it deeper, if Kahn died, wouldn't he have had more opportunities?

This matter reminded him of an old saying, which he didn't remember where or when he had heard it: No matter how well a boss treats you, it is still worse than you being the boss!

To be honest, Sui Xiong didn't think highly of Roger, either. Being the gatekeeper for the most famous and luxurious restaurant in the Green Tree City didn't do justice to his mind and talent. But being an advanced caster was too unrealistic. One thing to keep in mind was that even though he was taken care of by Kahn, the one who was almost considered a top-notch caster, he was such a person, so his talent could be imagined.

But to a person whose mind was burned by ambition, there was no principle that could be explained to him.

"What are you going to do? Kill him?" Sui Xiong sighed and asked Kahn.

Kahn had already recovered his composure. He shook his head and nonchalantly smiled.

"I won't kill him. It is unnecessary," He calmly said. "Anyway, you will not let him off, right?"

Sui Xiong nodded and then continued to ask, "Then how about you? Do you have anything you want to say?"

Kahn shook his head again. "No need, it's up to you."

"You seem very decadent. This is not good."

"After all, all has been decided. I kill people and others, of course, can kill me. It is very fair." Kahn seemed as if he had completely ignored his life and death. "You don't need to care about this. In such a big world, life and death are very normal. Today you kill me, and tomorrow there will be another person who will kill you. It is just that simple, " Kahn said very reasonably

Sui Xiong frowned. Kahn's face impressively remained unchanged when his death was near. But Sui Xiong still found there was something wrong in this.

This guy is a genius. He is just in his twenties but he has already become the top caster. As long as he doesn't die now, it is almost for sure that he will step into the legendary land. How can he be willing to die?!

Not to mention… Are those people who supported him able to sit still and watch him die?

Thinking about this, he suddenly realized then sneered. Cold lights rose from one of his tentacles in all directions and then condensed into an ice knife as sharp as a steel knife. He ruthlessly stabbed the knife toward Kahn's chest.

Before the knife hit Kahn, a green light had risen from Kahn's body, covering him completely.

The mild and gentle light hid a tremendous power. Along with an ice knife, it could even block the attack launched by a bunch of fully armed knights.

But what it did was useless because the ice knife had stopped halfway to Kahn. The ice knife hadn't really stabbed him.

"Show yourself." Sui Xiong lowered his voice and said, "After all, you are a big person in the legendary realm. You don't need to sneakily hide."

A green light flashed in the air. An illusion of an old man wearing a glamorous long black gown appeared in front of them.

"Hello, young god," The old man slightly nodded to Sui Xiong in respect. "I am the owner of the Green Tree Tower. I am very sorry that my offspring have caused you trouble."

"In fact, they haven't caused me too much trouble. But I want to ask you one question. Do you ignore what they have done?" Sui Xiong was not being polite just because the elderly had acted politely toward him, and he asked coldly, "Did you teach your children to hit others so cruelly?"

"I haven't taught Kahn these things. Maybe he did it out of his own habits." Although being courteous, the old man didn't show any trace of compromising, "Acting mercifully is not a good habit. Young casters who didn't work nimbly enough have already died. The remaining ones are just like him."

"The young casters I know are not like him!"

"It is just because they are weak," The old man said nonchalantly. "Forgiveness and mercy are the power of the strongmen. In order to be merciful to the enemy, the first thing to do is to become strong enough that even if the enemy fights back, you won't be hurt. Right now, Kahn is not strong enough, and especially when his enemy is a god he isn't qualified to be merciful. In fact, even if he had done his best, he would not have been able to threaten you. So if this is the case and he still had wanted to be merciful, then he would have had acted as stupidly as a clown."

This old man sounded very convincing because he started from the point that Sui Xiong was strong. Just like what he said, neither Roger nor Kahn were able to threaten Sui Xiong. Hence, whether or not they had treated him with mercy wasn't important.

However, Sui Xiong didn't concede, but sneered and refuted, "You think he doesn't have to treat the enemy mercifully just because the opponent is mighty, don't you? Then, if they face a weaker opponent, will they be merciful?"

"Different circumstance need different analyses. You can't lump different matters together," The old man calmly said.

"Uh-huh, I understand!" Sui Xiong sneered and continued asking, "It's the last question, so may I bother you with it?"

"Please do."

"There is a proverb that goes like this: Raising without teaching is a fault of a father. As the children have gone on the wrong way, is the adult responsible for that?"

The face of the old man finally changed, but before he could react, a blue light suddenly flashed on Sui Xiong's body.

This blue light wasn't dazzling but it brought along an incredible and irresistible power. It dispersed in all directions like waves, instantly covering the entire restaurant.

The old man growled. Then the magic tower in the center of the city instantly sent out a glaring light and shot toward the restaurant, but it was firmly blocked by the blue light.

However, at this moment, Sui Xiong had already wrapped the illusion of the old man with his tentacles. He shouted loudly and pulled the old man out.

"You think you are safe when you hide inside that narrow stitched space? How ridiculous!"

An indescribably intense magic battle suddenly broke out, but quickly subsided.

After everything calmed down, one-third of the restaurant was a pile of ruins.

Inside the ruins, the body of the floating jellyfish had gotten much bigger than before. He coldly stared at the old man who had been embarrassedly beaten black and blue in the face. The legendary caster's ability to cast magic had been temporarily locked by Sui Xiong with his supernatural power. At this moment, he was no different from a normal person.

"To be honest, I am not a judge of the court. I am also not interested in playing the role of a judge," Sui Xiong's voice sounded like thunder, echoing in the sky above the ruins. "But since I came across this thing, I need to intervene in it."

He didn't waited for others to answer before he wove his tentacles.

Four beams of light fell on the four hired thugs, and a grimace of pain immediately appeared on their face. They looked very embarrassed.

"You are, in nature, not too bad. However, helping others to do evil things is a big mistake. Although you will be exempt from the death penatly, you can't avoid your punishments! I will engrave a curse mark on all of you. Whenever you do bad things, the curse mark will cause you pain. Only when you do good things will you be able to make the pain disappear. When you have done, cumulatively, one thousand good things, the curse mark will not only vanish but also improve your physical constitution. You will also be given the ability to cast magic."

The four hired thugs looked at each other for a while, then all kneeled down on the ground to obediently take the punishment.

Although such a punishment was a little annoying, they had, after all, escaped death. Moreover, if the words of this god were true, they would have a chance to become stronger!

"Kahn, since you still haven't repented after doing evil things, you have already been marked unredeemable. Take my wake-up call!"

On the jellyfish's tentacle, the golden pattern in the shape of the Chinese character "ten thousand" sparkled, flew over, and slammed into Kahn's forehead.

Kahn's eyes dimmed. He suddenly rolled on the ground with an intense headache. After a while, the headache slowly faded, but he didn't stand up. He laid on the ground, looking to the sky with a pair of eyes full of guilt, and sorrow and his face full of tears.

His vitality quickly withered, and his face instantly became as pale as a dead person, but his eyes were very bright and clear, completely different from how they were before. They emitted a light which made people feel comfort that came from the bottom of their heart.

"Do you know why you were wrong?" Sui Xiong asked.

"I had already known," Kahn said while sobbing, "but…it is too late!"

"It is never too late to repent. Just slowly atone for your crimes!" The supernatural power of Sui Xiong radiated, and the God of Redemption immediately received the message and sent an envoy to pick up Kahn's spirit.

"Roger, you always wanted Kahn to die and not hinder your way, right?" Sui Xiong coldly said, "Right now, he is dead. What do you think of it?"

"His death came too late." Roger had finally awakened from the Seduction Magic and he said gloomily, "What is the point of his death now when I am already about to die?!"

"Now, do you think you could have succeeded if he had never existed in the first place?"

"Of course!"

Sui Xiong sneered and waved his tentacle. A strong magic light fell on Roger's head. "So, let's try it…"

"Master Roger, Master Roger, wake up! It's your turn!"

Roger awoke and kneaded his face with his hands until his mind cleared again.

Today was a big day: the young people who came from the different branches of the Green Family would finally compete with each other. This competition was held once every 20 years.

Over four centuries ago, the great legendary wizard, the Green Sea Dweller, created the Green Family all by himself. Now, the Green Family had become a group of over 200 people, divided into six branches.

This legendary wizard was indeed powerful. Still, it was impossible to discipline all his offspring at once. Among his offspring, there were people who were not talented enough. About 200 years ago, he made a rule: anyone who wanted to be rich and live a stable life, as well as take the path to become a legendary wizard, should take part in the competition and show their strength. Only the winner in this competition could be carefully trained by the Green Sea Dweller.

The competition was held every 20 years. Unless someone had really achieved greatness in their life, they could only take part in this competition once. Most members of the Green Family had done just that.

Suppose someone was only ten years old when he took part in the competition for the first time. When they took part in the competition for the second time, they might be 30. A man of thirty was not a young man!

Roger was just 27 years old, although he was going to be 30 soon enough. He had already reached the highest level that one could in their youth. His opponents were much younger than him; the eldest just 25 years old.

He was quite satisfied with this. Maybe someone would just consider him lucky, but still, one should remember that not everyone could be lucky.

He looked at the court that was not very far from him. There were two young Greens competing with each other, but they were not fighting. Instead they were talking about their knowledge of magic spells with each other. This "civilized" way of competing was not only safe, but left room to show off knowledge they had acquired. In fact, if one showed more knowledge about magic spells during this discussion, it meant he was stronger than the other.

Clearly, there was a big gap between the two young men. Soon, one of the two could talk no more, and lost.

"Next round, Roger of branch two and Donald of branch three!" the old wizard who was in charge of the competition said in a booming voice. "You two shall leave the court now!"

Roger sorted himself out, calmed down, and walked into the court. He was walking very slowly and steadily, in case something unexpected happened

His opponent, Donald, was unpredictable. Although he was just 19 years old, he could already practice an intermediate spell: "portal". Via this spell, he could move very quickly, and appear anywhere in the court. Earlier, while rehearsing for this competition, Donald suddenly appeared behind his opponent and defeated him on the spot. His opponent didn't even see what he looked like.

Roger was talented in a way. When he was 12 years old, he came back to the Green Family. Since then, he had spent around 15 years studying spells. He hadn't mastered any intermediate spells, but he managed to acquire more than 20 of the primary level, including some he had really mastered. During his rehearsals, he defeated many with his magic.

That was why he dared to take part in the competition. As long as he could defeat Donald, he would be able to get more resources. Since he had already made it to the quarter-final, he could show off his skills in front of the great legendary wizard. As for whether he won or in this competition, it was not that important to him anymore. For him, this was a good chance, and he was prepared to seize it.

Roger was walking toward the court, with Donald standing opposite him.

"I am going to win this competition!" Donald said, not mincing his words. "I',m sorry to say so, but I have to win."

"So do I," Roger said coldly. He raised up his hand and began to chant a spell before Donald even realized.

According to the rule of the competition set by the Green Family, neither opponent could initiate an attack before the host gave the order. However, chanting and attacking were two different things. As long as Roger hadn't activated a spell, it would not be count as an attack.

This was part of Roger's master plan. He was not as powerful as the real talents, and knew he'd never defeat Donald without using a trick or two.

The old wizard muttered to himself, but didn't stop Roger from chanting. Instead of interfering, the wizard instantly gave the order for the competition to start.

At that moment, Roger had almost activated his spell.

Immediately, Donald realized Roger had practiced a vicious Smelly Cloud spell, and frowned. The Smelly Cloud spell was not the most dangerous one, but the disgusting and excruciating smell could make one suffer. Someone even got cibophobia, a fear of food, and had to get treatment in the temple after being hit by the spell.

Among all the spells that Roger had acquired, this spell could both hit the wizard himself as well as his enemies on a large scale. Once one was hit by it, it would be very difficult for them to recover. Roger had made some effort to enhance his resistance to the smell, so he could do a spell without being affected. Roger thought that although Donald could do some more advanced spells, the smell could at least make Donald dizzy enough to fail at casting any. That way, Donald was bound to lose.

However, what Donald did next was completely unexpected.

Donald took out a space bag, and a crossbow from it.

This court was not big enough, and once the Smelly Cloud spell was activated, the air could cover a large area of the court. Likewise, within this small court, Roger couldn't get away from being shot by Donald. For a weak wizard like him, what would happen when he was shot by the arrow? He was bound to lose.

Roger was so terrified that he failed to fully activate his Smelly Cloud spell. Then something occurred to him. He shouted, "You have broken the rules!"

Roger turned around and complained to the old wizard, "Master, Donald had broken the rules! He used a crossbow!"

Meanwhile, the old wizard had a long sigh and shook his head.

Roger was confused. When he turned around, he found that the crossbow on Donald's hand had disappeared, and one could see some magical light sparkling. A few seconds later, a few magic bullets appeared in Donald's hand and began fly toward Roger.

Crack! As if a piece of glass had broken, Roger was hit by Donald's spell. He lost.

The old wizard said, "It is fine for one to walk the line in a competition. You activated a spell first. But you were hit by Donald. It clearly shows that the gap between you two is too large. You only focus on yourself without paying any attention to others; you failed to see Donald practicing a Silent Phantom spell. It was a primary spell, and still you were tricked by it.

"Besides, when you were being targeted by the crossbow, you didn't choose to find a way to dodge it or stand it. Instead you complained to me. If Donald indeed had broken the rules, do you think I wouldn't stop him? Moreover, in the real world, when you are in a fight with another wizard, do you think you could stop to complain to me?

"Look at Donald. When he saw you activating a spell, he instantly chose to attack, and made sure he would win this competition. This is the quality that a proper wizard should have!

"Roger, not only have you lost in the regard of practicing the spell, you have also lost in the regard of your vision and psychological quality. You have lost completely!"

Roger stood there in a daze, without knowing what to do.

How could this be possible? How could I lose in the first ground?!

"It's impossible!" Roger screamed. Suddenly the scene in front of him disappeared. Roger returned to the real world and sat on the ground, completely stunned. Sui Xiong stood in front of him.

"Even without Kahn, the person preventing you from getting what you want, you are still be a loser," Sui Xiong said coldly. "You could not even defeat Donald, who is much weaker than Kahn."

"Nonsense! The reason I lost this time is due to my lack of practice and education from those masters when I was young!" Roger screamed. "I came back to the Green Family when I was 12, and I have already wasted too much time. I am just a b*stard. Even if my ability was recognized by others, I could never get more resources than if I was entitled. If I could have been cultivated by those powerful figures and got as much as resources as Kahn in the first place, I could definitely win!"

Hearing this, Sui Xiong sneered. "Really? Okay, let's see what would have happened if you got all the help you could have."

The magical light flashed again, and Roger was back in the illusion. This time, he became the legal son of the second branch of the Green Family. From a very young age, he had been educated by an excellent teacher and got many resources. He quickly grew into a strong wizard when he was 20 years old, and began to study magic at the intermediate level. While in his family, there were a few other brilliant young men, who were almost as competent as he was. Some were even stronger than him.

To win the competition that was held every 20 years, Roger recruited some adventurers and went to explore in the Ancient Forest, hoping to find famous historical remains as well as some treasured objects that could enhance his ability. But he failed to do so. Since he had been so carefully nurtured from a young age, he wasn't capable of dealing with an emergency. He only managed to survive with the help of his subordinates; and even then he was severely traumatized. His ability to practice spells weakened.

To heal him, his family spent a lot of money and energy. But when they were sure he could no longer recover, they gave him up. Later his family decided to cultivate another young man that was a bit younger than him. This young man was a b*stard and less talented than him, but he was a harder worker and had a stronger psyche than Roger.

At last, Roger could only sit in the spectator's seat, watching that bastard who he always treated like a piece of garbage defeating his enemies one by one. That b*stard won the competition at last.

Roger became more and more pessimistic and degenerated. He started to drink, call prostitutes, and do drugs, hoping to forget all the bad things that happened in his life.

The magical light flashed, and Roger was back to the real world. This time, he didn't open his eyes. He died in his desperation. Maybe he realized that even if he got all the resources and cultivation that a legal son was entitled to, he still would have failed. All this time, the abilities he had been proud of was his own delusion.

He was not, in fact, talented at all.

When he realized this, he couldn't go on.

Sui Xiong looked peacefully at Roger's body. After Roger died, his soul fell into the underworld was sent to hell to be punished. Seeing this, Sui Xiong shook his head. He turned around and looked at the legendary wizard Green.

"Now it's your turn!" Green's face was gaunt and full of gloom. He had been silent ever Sui Xiong captured and defeated him. When he saw Roger, his most brilliant disciple dying in front of him, he kept his composure. But now, under threat, he said, "do you really want to fight against the Commonwealth of Mifata?"

"Oh?" Sui Xiong replied, without betraying his attitude.

Bleakly, Green replied, "As far as I am concerned, you are just a demi-God whose magical energy all comes from nature. Which means that it would take a long time for you to grow stronger. There is a chance that you may only gain a bit more power, even after a thousand years. The president of our federation is also a demi-God, and would become a real God in less time than that. The God of Mystery, or the God of Intelligence and Magic, has promised me that the president would be granted the Wizard priesthood as soon as he was apotheosized. Since you have already started a feud with the Commonwealth of Mifata, you are bound to be killed by the future God of Wizards!"

Sui Xiong didn't reply. Instead, he began to draw a complicated magic design with his tentacles.

"We have many research materials about natural energy. Being the senator of this federation, I can get you these materials," Green said. "There are two paths you can choose. Being killed by the future God of Wizard, or cooperating with me. The decision should be clear."

Sui Xiong nodded. "Do you have more to say?"

"Seriously?! You won't even think about what I just told you?"

"Haven't you realized that you've neglected something?" Sui Xiong said. "In fact, I don't want to get myself into trouble. Think carefully. Have you neglected anything important?"

Hearing this, Green became nervous and began to go over what Sui Xiong was referring to. He started repeating to Sui Xiong the benefits of him cooperating, trying harder and harder to persuade him. Sui Xiong's face fell as Green spoke.

At last, he could take no more and shouted, "Enough!" Sui Xiong wrapped Green in his tentacles, then flew them to the outside of town. "I should never have believed you could possibly reform yourself!"

Sui Xiong waved his tentacles, releasing the energy of the spell he just charged. The energy turned into a blue halo that covered Green Tree Town. Soon the halo disappeared. In the blink of an eye, it was as if it never existed.

"What on earth do you want? Just spit it out!" Green was getting more and more nervous and shouted, "If you want a good deal with me, you should at least show me what you've really got!"

"Shut up!" Sui Xiong yelled. He waved his tentacles and transformed many tree leaves into a ball, and stuffed that ball into Green's mouth.

Soon, they came to an open space outside town. Sui Xiong looked around and nodded happily. This open space wasn't narrow. It wasn't an important intersection either, which was a perfect place for him to do what he had planned to do.

"Don't say I haven't given you any chances to change your ways!" Sui Xiong said to Green. "I gave you one, but you failed to catch it."

Green had been tightly wrapped up in Sui Xiong's tentacles. He tried to get out, but couldn't, and since his mouth was blocked, he could not speak. He was breathing heavily and his face turned red from the effort. Regardless, he could do nothing to get himself out of this situation, since his ability to practice magic had been sealed by Sui Xiong's power.

"You are a selfish person who thinks of nobody but yourself." Sui Xiong sighed, continuing to criticize Green. "You never cared about those innocent people who were hurt by your evil students and sons, and it is all because of your bad education that they have become thugs. I think you really never cared about those people, you never gave a sh*t about them.

"Just now, when Roger and Kahn were sneak attacking us, you must have known that already; or at least, you must have known that Kahn planned to sneak attack us. Meanwhile, you did nothing to stop them. Maybe you are right. They went looking for trouble themselves, so you think there is no need for you to help them. Besides, when I punished and killed them both, you didn't respond.

"I know you can't talk anymore, and I am not going to have you speak. Your selfishness and shabby tricks really disgust me!"

Sui Xiong threw Green onto the ground, jumped into the sky, turned into a puddle of water that sank into the earth, and changed a great amount of ground nearby into a muddy swamp. Then, the swamp began to slowly rise. It gradually formed a small hill that was just like an upright palm. The hill then fell to the ground and covered Green.

Seeing a small hill falling down to him, Green was so terrified that he immediately closed his eyes. He was not crushed into pieces. Instead, he saw he was kept in sheer darkness. Many small lights gradually appeared and many complicated magic arrays formed one by one. Then he found he was standing in the middle of the magic array. The space was big enough for him to stand up and walk around in a few steps. That was all. Obviously, he was underground.

When the small hill fell to the ground, it blended with the earth before it really solidified, becoming a huge hard stone.

Inside the small hill, there was a tiny room where numerous magic arrays existed. This hill blocked all the connections with the outside, so Green could not ask for help. The magic arrays inside the hill could also sustain Green's life. If he felt lonely, well, this magic array would project a scene of the Green Tree Town for him to see. Moreover, whenever there was a wizard doing a bad thing in the town, Green would feel the same pain and suffer with the victim.

It was basically impossible for others to get him out of this small hill. The hill was especially enhanced by Sui Xiong, and was hard as steel or iron. If one ever wanted to use a weapon—for example, an ax—to hit the hill, they would only see a spark. No mark would be left on the surface. If someone tried to save him by a spell or a powerful magic sword, the hill would only absorb the energy and enhance the magic array.

Even so, since nothing in the world is absolute, there was a chance that there would eventually be a powerful man who could destroy the hill. But even if he managed to do so, he still could not save Green. When the hill collapsed, the magic array would explode, so both Green and the person who intended to save him would die on the spot. Besides, Sui Xiong left a message for Green explaining how this magic array worked, and warning him of the danger he might meet.

"You need to know that it is neither my power nor this hill, but your own evil thought that has imprisoned you. In fact, when you can thoroughly rectify your errors, realize the mistake you have made and abandon the depraved way of life and return to the path of virtue, the hill will collapse.

"Don't count on me to save you. I myself cannot control the magic array. The only one who can save you is yourself."

Green sat on the ground and began to ponder carefully while watching the scene projected by the magic array.

Why on earth did he imprison me here?

He wanted me to abandon the depraved way, but what is this so-called 'depraved way'?

What on earth have I done wrong?

Meanwhile, Sui Xiong had already left the Green Tree Town and moved toward to the south.

"I never thought Your Majesty would let that legendary wizard go," Ray said. "I thought you would kill him."

"Do I look like a vicious person?" Sui Xiong replied.

"It is not about whether you look like a vicious person or not…" Ray thought for a moment, then said, "I think you are someone who would take up the cudgels for the injured party, and you would definitely kill a bad guy who has done a terrible thing."

"You are right…"

"Could it be possible that you have been deceived by that old man?" Steele, who had become a red pig with a pair of wings, took out a wooden plate and wrote, He must be lying! on the plate.

"Yes, he must be lying!" Ray nodded. He almost drove Sui Xiong off his head. "There is not a single God who would get involved in a fight with others for the sake of a mortal!"

"I am such a God!" Sui Xiong said.

"Ha, ha… you are indeed."

Sui Xiong laughed and then slowly explained to them. "Haven't you noticed that the Green Tree Town has been developing well?"

"Yes, that's true." Ray thought for a while and nodded. "But I don't think it has anything to do with Green. Rather, it has a lot to do with the chatelain and those government officials."

"It has a lot to do with the chatelain and the government officials? How about the common people… As for who has made this town as bustling as it is now, this is a rather complicated topic, I will further elaborate on it in the future when I have the chance." Sui Xiong laughed. "I mean, the protection that Green has been providing is a necessity for the development of this town, although he has made a huge mistake, his contribution is still great."

"That's why you haven't killed him?"

"Yes. I hope he can correct his errors and become a decent legendary wizard," Sui Xiong said. "He is really talented, and if he can become decent and teach his students and sons to do something that is good for the whole society and the people, this town will be more prosperous and more people would benefit."

"What if he continues to behave like he was before?" Ray asked.

"He will correct his errors." Sui Xiong laughed. "As a legendary wizard, he has enough time to repent his sins."

Sun Wukong, also known as the Monkey King, was a figure featured in a body of legends, which could be traced back to the period of the Song dynasty. He always acted in collusion with other evil creatures. Whenever he was annoyed, he would go to heaven and cause turmoil. He had warred with God several times, and those wars had made many people suffer. But even he, an evil figure who would most probably be depicted as a devil in a knight's novel, could correct his errors after being imprisoned in the Wuzhi Mountain for almost five centuries. In this light, Green would definitely change too.

A legendary wizard could live for a very long time. Green was just 600 years old; after being imprisoned in this hill for another 500 years, he would just be over a thousand. Even then, he could still live for a long time. If he still behaved as he did before, then he would die on that hill!

The two were talking, laughing while walking casually toward to the south.

Chapter 93: Chapter 93

The Commonwealth of Mifata was indeed a strange place. Although it was a country, it had no government. Instead, there was a big parliament, consisting of the wizards in charge of managing the whole country. The parliament could be divided into two parts. One was the House of Commons, which consisted of the advanced wizards who were responsible for government affairs; fiscal revenues and the like. The other was the House of Lords, which consisted of the legendary wizards who were in charge of the foreign and military affairs. However, the legendary wizards were usually too busy to deal with government affairs.

"What have the legendary wizards been busy doing?" Sui Xiong asked with curiosity.

Ray thought for a while and said, "They have probably been occupied with studying how to break through their biological limits to become demigods. At least, the few legendary wizards I happen to know have been working on this the entire time."

"You know some legendary wizards?"

"Well, I don't know them, I've just met them. They probably didn't even notice me at the time." Ray laughed. "In my youth, I only ever came to the capital of the Commonwealth of Mifata, the Highest Pagoda, to study. I was very lucky that I got the chance to pay a visit to two legendary wizards as well as the Green we already know. Amongst the 14 legendary wizards in the Commonwealth of Mifata, I have met around five. I believe this would make many wizards of middle or low ranks feel jealous."

"With your ability, not to mention your upbringing, you are already qualified to visit them," Sui Xiong said. "Would it be possible for us to walk past a region controlled by one of these legendary wizards? I think we should at least pay one a visit."

Ray thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "To be honest, I have no idea where they live. For example, I do know the Green Sea Dweller, but before we arrived at the Green Tree Town, I never knew he lived there."

"Is the residential information of these legendary wizards supposed to be a secret?"

"I don't think so. When I was young, I wasn't interested in collecting this sort of information. When I got older, I began to show interest in it. I have…" Ray suddenly became gloomy and heaved a long sigh. Obviously, he had recalled something sad.

Sui Xiong patted his shoulder and comforted him. "Cheer up; one should never live in his own memory. You have a bright future. Why do you always trap yourself in the bad things that happened in the past?"

"You are right." Ray nodded but still looked very gloomy. However, since he was an experienced adventurer and an expert at monitoring his emotions, he quickly became happy again and buried those sad memories deep in his heart.

The Commonwealth of Mifata consisted of many small towns, and was the magical pagoda guarding the country. It was a safe place to live, but once one walked out of the city, they could meet many evil monsters; even out on the road.

The southern part of the Main Plate was a highland, where magical power was very concentrated. That was why the wizards chose it as the location to build the magic pagoda. Because of the high concentration of magical power, many wizards gathered here, and a country of wizards formed. However, the place also invited many evil monsters to come. They were like weeds in the wilderness, and could never be totally cleared. Just when a patrol had killed some evil monsters in a certain area, more appeared out of nowhere.

Ray brandished his long sword, and cut a yelling Minotaur into four pieces. Then, while running, he stabbed a screaming Harpy through its heart. He kicked away a mutated Slime, and while usually a Slime could stand many physical attacks, it exploded into pieces when it hit a big tree. In the blink of an eye, tens of monsters were killed by Ray, their blood visible everywhere.

"Why there are so many monsters?" Sui Xiong said, rather confused. "I have never seen so many, neither in the Gray Stone Mountains nor the Ancient Wood Waste Swamp!"

Steele flew back while holding a wooden plate on her hand, which read, I have no idea!

Both Sui Xiong and Steel looked at Ray. Among the three, Ray was the only one who had ever been to the Commonwealth of Mifata.

"I don't know, either. I used to take a boat to come here and landed on the White Tower Bay, then arrived at the Highest Tower via transportation spell," Ray said. "Later, when I began my studies, I never left the Highest Pagoda. As for what on earth Mifata is really like, I only read about it in books."

"One buries himself in the classics and ignores what is going on beyond one's immediate surroundings—you are just like a student who only experienced the test-oriented examination!" Sui Xiong said.

"What's the test-oriented examination?"

"Well, a test-oriented examination requires a student to concentrate on nothing but on his studies."

"That doesn't sound bad," Ray smiled. "It is a peaceful and quiet life. Besides, my teacher always wanted me to be a scholar, not a knight who always gets himself into fights with others."

Hearing this, Steele laughed and took out a wood plate and wrote two lines on it, which read: A scholar who kills others and burns their homes as well? Or someone who majors in banditry?

Ray forced a smile and shook his head.

Then Sui Xiong asked, "How about now? Do you want to be a scholar or a knight? Or have you made up your mind to be a successful bandit?"

"Ideally, I would want to be a knight," Ray said, "but I don't think that would be possible, since being a knight is really difficult."

"I don't think so. You are already close to becoming a strong man of the legendary world. If you aren't qualified to be a knight, nobody is!"

Ray sighed and said, "It has nothing to do one's ability. Rather, it has to do with one's morality. To be a knight, one needs to be modest, honorable, dedicated, brave, sympathetic, pious, just, and honest… I don't think there is any need to elaborate. Anyway, I don't have any of the qualities I mentioned before, so even if I am very powerful, I can never be a qualified knight."

"It seems that being a knight is a very noble thing…" Sui Xiong murmured. "I never thought one needs to be such a moral model before becoming a knight…"

Steele laughed, and took out a wooden plate, which said: Liar!

"Liar! What do you mean by that?" Sui Xiong asked in curiosity. Seeing that Steele was going to take out another wooden plate, Sui Xiong waved his tentacles and practiced a spell so Steel could temporarily talk in a language that everyone understood.

"The so-called virtues of a knight is just a show when one is knighted: an overlord or a bishop was holding the ceremony, and the knighted knight put on a show and made a vow–in fact, no one would really conform to his vows." Steele smiled, "I have seen many knights before. Not one of them have all eight virtues you have mentioned, let alone even four among the eight."

"Really?"

"Of course." Steele took out a wood plate and wrote the eight words mentioned above on the plate and began to explain them one by one. "Being modest means a knight should be modest to everyone, never be proud or domineering. In fact, most of the capable men are quite arrogant, only the weak ones would be modest. As for the knights I have met, they are only modest to people who are of higher rank than them."

"Well, I think they are barely qualified to be modest." Sui Xiong said.

"Fine, as you have put it, they are barely qualified for being modest," Steele said. "Being honorable means a knight should defend his honor and never do anything that would sabotage it. He would take any risk to protect his honor. This quality has often be talked about among the knights, and they usually say things like, 'My honor is my life'; but when the time really comes, and they have to make some sacrifice to protect their honor, most of them hesitate. In fact, I am lucky I have met knights who would really do anything to protect their honor."

"And this is another virtue."

"There is no need to talk about being dedicated, since the knight are the warriors who are loyal to a certain overlord or a church. What is the point of being a knight if he is frightened and runs away in a fight? So of course, most knights are very dedicated."

"Now two and a half virtues are confirmed."

"As for being brave; many hotheads can be brave. But a hothead can never become a knight, and those who become knights are not brave anymore," Steele said. "As for the knights who are also in the aristocracy, basically none of them are brave. Still, there are some brave knights among the knights of the Church."

"Does that count as a virtue?"

"At most, it counts as half a virtue," Steele said. "As for being sympathetic, I have never met anyone who was sympathetic. When you meet someone who is, please show me. Moreover, not a single knight who is also an aristocracy is pious. Well, the knights of a church have their own beliefs, but what they believe in is not justice, or an axiom, but their own God; even if their God is an evil one."

"So they are also pious, you mean?" Sui Xiong said.

"Well, some may feel so, but I never count on those who fanatically believe their God. I don't really believe those willing to fight against anyone who disagrees with their God are pious."

Sui Xiong laughed and said, "I agree with you."

"Being honest and just? Well, I have never seen a knight who had both qualities, and plus being sympathetic, which is also very rare. In short, I have never seen anyone among the knight or the aristocracy who are honest, just, or sympathetic." Steele laughed.

Now, there were only three virtues that had not been talked about.

Sui Xiong turned to Ray and saw he was gloomy. Obviously, he was very unhappy about the comments Steele made about the knights.

"Apart from his ability, one can be a real knight if he have got all the eight virtues." Ray emphasized, "besides, not only among the knight, but also in all walks of life, there would be someone who is not qualified–and among the aristocracy, they have also got their own standards to decide whether a man is virtuous or not, but few can really be virtuous."

Steele laughed and said, "The aristocracy sucks! Look at me: have I got any other shortcomings apart from being a bit promiscuous? And I have been deprived of the right of inheritance…"

"You are not a bit promiscuous, you are too promiscuous!"

"Never mind! It's my private business…"

Ray and Steele began to argue with each other again. While they were arguing, Sui Xiong secretly thought he should probably hold the ceremony to confer titles of nobility to Ray when his church was finally built.

Okay, I'll do that! Ray thought.

Chapter 94: Chapter 94

"Hey!" Ray shouted and jumped up. He stood on a big tree that a giant with one eye used as a stick. Then Ray began to run, and didn't stop until he got close to the giant's head, and cut it off with his sword.

The giant let out a terrifying shout, and then began to breathe heavily. The dark red blood flew and spread everywhere. The giant shook a bit before collapsing heavily onto the ground. Even before it fell, Ray had already landed back on the ground and looked around, holding his sword in his hand. Everything around him was a mess. There were the bodies of various monsters, businessmen, and bodyguards strewn everywhere.

Since the giant, the leader of these monsters, had been killed, the monsters dispersed with an uproar. On this arena where an intense battle had just ended, only the crying, injured ones were left.

Seeing the monsters had been killed or run away, the terrified leader of the commercial corp who had been hiding under the carriage crawled out and gave great thanks to Ray. He insisted on returning him the favor.

Ray didn't refuse since it was only natural for an adventurer to receive a reward from one he had helped. The leader gave him a small bag of gemstones, to which he was very surprised.

This is too much. It is against the rules, Ray thought.

Ray had indeed done a great job in helping this commercial corp. The defense circle was destroyed by the Ogres, lead by the giant, and all the members of the commercial corp were to be brutally killed by them. However, Ray appeared and knocked down a great many ogres with a sword, all by himself. Ray even killed the leader of these ogres, the giant with only one eye, and managed to save the whole circle.

A small bag of gemstones was still too much a reward to receive. However, the leader of the commercial corp was very persuasive, and at last, Ray accepted the gemstones rather worriedly. After, Ray decided to temporarily proceed with this commercial corp until they safely arrived at the next town.

At night, Steele, who had been taking care of the injured all day, finally came back to the carriage and began to complain.

"I am exhausted!" she said. "I have treated over 20 people. Among them, six are seriously injured. I even managed to bring one man back from the dead… I feel like I have become the priestess in a temple!"

"An able man is always busy," Sui Xiong laughed. "How does it feel? I mean, saving someone? Do you feel the happiness at the bottom of your heart?"

Steele thought for a while and smiled. She didn't say anything but went straight to sleep. Sui Xiong knew how she felt though, and smiled when he saw the blue fire dancing on the back of her hand.

A while later, Ray, who had gone out to patrol, came back. He smelled like blood. Obviously, he had gotten into a big fight.

"What have you killed this time?" Sui Xiong asked.

"A Chimera," Ray said.

"Oh, which kind?"

"Chimera" was a general term, as well as a very famous creature. If a monster's body was made of more than one monster, then it was called a Chimera. There were both good Chimera and bad Chimera, most all of them very strong.

Ray handed the space bag to Sui Xiong, and said, "Its body is still inside the bag. I plan to sell it when we arrive at the town."

Sui Xiong used his spiritual sensing to scan the bag, and found that there were two bodies inside. Next to the body of the single-eyed giant, there was a huge monster as tall as two men stacked together. Most of its body was covered with a thick black carapace. It also had a dragon head, the body of a wolf, and two feet from a goat. Its body was very smooth. Sui Xiong could tell it was very agile, and that its teeth were sharp enough to bite off steel. It had a powerful weapon as well: three long tails, which acted like three terrifying chain-swords. The joint of the tail was very sharp and the skin very elastic. The smell left in its mouth proved that it could breathe fire.

If it hadn't met Ray, who was almost stepping into the legendary world, it would not have been defeated as simply as this. As a terrifying monster, it could destroy a small-sized town all by itself. Meanwhile, the single-eyed monster could be easily defeated when a few brilliant adventurers worked together. Although it had great strength, the giant was not as agile.

"What does saving someone feel like?" Sui Xiong asked.

"It feels really good. I feel like a real knight," Ray smiled. Then he got very serious. He said, "Just now, though, I felt like there was someone staring at me with bad intentions. It seems that man is extremely powerful and very terrifying."

"Really?" Sui Xiong was surprised since a man that could scare Ray was never someone ordinary!

"I meant to catch a Chimera and mount it since I am very good at combat when I am riding a horse. A common battle horse is very weak and cannot survive heavy battle, so I have no choice but to fight without a mount. Besides, a Nargakurga is really rare, and one cannot buy it from the market either. When I saw a Chimera which could be my potential mount, I became very excited," Ray said. "But that man made me feel very uncomfortable, so I wanted to leave quickly and killed the Chimera instead."

Sui Xiong nodded and asked, "Is he still staring at you now?"

"Not now, I no longer felt his existence as soon as I walked close to the commercial corp." Ray thought for a while and said: "I guess…he is afraid, Your Majesty."

Sui Xiong contemplated for a bit and spread out his soul so he could carefully sense the immediate surroundings. After a while, he finally found some clues. There was a very tiny mark carved on Ray's soul. It would do no harm to Ray. It was simply a mark which helped others locate Ray's whereabouts.

When Ray was staying with Sui Xiong, the mark was not activated and didn't send out any signals. As soon as Ray left Sui Xiong and was not under his protection, the mark was activated and sent out a message showing Ray's location. Then the man who left this mark on Ray's soul would know where Ray was. That was why Ray had the feeling he was being spied upon.

Since Sui Xiong didn't know what this was all about, he didn't try to activate the mark and instead confronted Ray about it.

"A mark?" Ray pondered for a while, then asked, "Can you tell me when this mark was carved on my soul?"

Sui Xiong examined it for a while with his spiritual sensing, and gave an approximatetime. It hadn't bee too long. It was a month at least, and a year at most.

"Well, I know what is going on now." Obviously, Ray had some idea about this mark. He compared his guess with Sui Xiong's examination. "It was left by the Brutal Hunter, or the God of Hunt and Holocaust," he concluded. "I attacked his temple, maybe it was at that time he left this mark on my soul."

Not long ago, Ray did business in the west wilderness. He spent almost all his money to bribe an evil organization called Black Axe to help him to fight against the followers of the God of Hunt and Holocaust. Then, he tried to sneak into the temple to steal a crystal hidden in the temple when the two sides were fighting with each other.

Inside that crystal, there was a bit of magical energy left by the God of Life. If Ray managed to get this crystal and examine it carefully, he might be able to have a grasp on Life. It would also lay a solid foundation for him to become a demigod in the near future. If he was lucky enough, he might even be able to become a real God, who was in charge of the priesthood of Life.

Unfortunately, Ray didn't manage to get the crystal right away, since the cunning managerial personnel were always on alert and ran in a secret tunnel. But Ray couldn't let them go so easily. He followed them all the way to the big Gobi, killed them all, and got the crystal at last.

It was also at that time he met Sui Xiong. The crystal was confiscated by Sui Xiong, and Ray had become his mount since then. In fact, this all happened quite recently; but Ray felt like it was almost century ago.

During this journey, Ray was having a really tough time. Still, he was also living each day to the fullest. When he gradually reclaimed his childhood dream and realized that he was back on the way to becoming a knight, he was deeply touched.

Just like Sui Xiong had already put before: he felt all the things that happened in the past were already over, while the things happened at the present were ongoing.

Now Ray was confident enough to confront anyone, and dared to fight in the battlefield or go to hell!

If he had still been a sole bandit wandering in the west wildness, and knew that the Brutal Hunter had left a mark on his soul, he would be terrified and run away like a coward. Ray knew that he was sure to be slain by the killers lead by the Brutal Hunter, and there was only one way left for him: killing himself.

Now, although he was still a bit worried, he never even thought of running away.

He had reclaimed peace in his mind again, and was no longer afraid of death!

Sui Xiong would never allow the followers of the God of Hunt and Holocaust to kill Ray. Sui Xiong believed that the God of Hunter and Holocaust himself was pure evil. The God of Hunter and Holocaust's doctrines claimed that the world was simply a huge hunting ground, and that all creatures were prey. He usually pleased himself by killing as many creatures as possible. Anyone who chose to believe his doctrine was never a good person. Compared with Ray, who had abandoned this depraved way of life and returned to the path of virtue, these followers should be killed!

"I see." Sui Xiong sneered, and said, "That God's real body can't step into the Main Plain, and he could, at most, send a few killers and a messenger. Don't worry. I'll back you up!"

"You don't need to do this. I can just as well defend myself, and this is my business."

"Nonsense. Don't forget I have got the crystal, so it's my business, too" Sui Xiong laughed. "And… to be honest, I have always been curious about other God's priesthoods."

"You mean?"

"I feel hungry, and want to eat another oracle," Sui Xiong laughed. "Last time I gained so much information and energy after eating the oracle of the God of Conspiracy. In fact, I am very much looking forward to tasting the Oracle of the God of Hunt and Holocaust. I hope it will taste good."

Ray was silent for a while. Then he got down on one knee, put his right hand on his left chest and lowered his head.

"Although I don't clearly know Your Majesty's doctrine, and can't give you my belief, please accept my oath," Ray said slowly and firmly. "I, Leon Igor, hereby swear to you that I devote Your Majesty my life and soul, I will praise you, fight for you, and never stop being loyal to you. Even if I die!"

Chapter 95: Chapter 95

Sui Xiong only meant to taste an oracle of the God of Hunt and Holocaust. He never thought his words could make Ray cry and kneel. This surprised Sui Xiong.

Things really were unpredictable…

Sui Xiong had already decided to put up a good fight with the oracle of the God of Hunt and Holocaust. But when the commercial corp arrived at the next town, and later at the Golden Tower City, they still had not gotten into a fight with anyone.

Could it be possible that the Brutal Hunter had changed? Had he decided to make peace with Sui Xiong instead?

Sui Xiong shook his head. A God could never change; their priesthoods decided their characteristics. Every God had humanity, that was for sure, but the humanity needed to give in to the divinity. The God of Hunt and Holocaust had received the priesthoods of cruelty, slaughter, and revenge; slaughter being one of the main priesthoods. This meant he could never make peace with anyone else. If one ever made an enemy with the God of Hunt and Holocaust, he would have to give in to him or defeat him.

Sui Xiong was not afraid of having to fight with the God of Hunt and Holocaust, since that God was not too powerful. His supporters weren't too strong either. Theoretically, the God of Hunt and Holocaust fit into the category of Orc God. However, he was not an Orc, but a feeble figure amongst the Orc Gods; so it was very unlikely that Sui Xiong would get a rise out of the Orc Gods once he got into a fight with the God of Hunt and Holocaust.

The God of Hunt and Holocaust was a weak God, only a bit superior to the doorkeeper who came from the Dark Night Gods' Department, who liked to make the girls his priests. In short, Sui Xiong was not afraid of him at all. Either way, it was always good that they didn't fight with anyone during their journey.

"Two balls of fire already!" Steele said happily, watching the two trembling balls of fire on the back of her right hand.

During this journey, they helped many people who had come across monsters. Ray's skills in martial arts had been of great help in these rescues, along with Steele's healing magic. Every time Steele helped treat a patient, they would thank her. With the number of the people she had treated, she had lit two balls of blue fire.

"There are still ten more to go!" Steele said. Steele sighed when she saw the ten blanks on the back of her right hand.

Over time Steele had treated hundreds of patients, and even practiced the resurrection spell twice. She was very anxious when she found that she had only gained two balls of fire. After thinking for a long time, she could not help but complain to Sui Xiong.

"Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with the calculation of the number of the blue fireballs? Last time, I got a ball of fire after healing just a few people from that commercial corp. In the past few days, I have treated so many people, but I only got one ball of fire."

"The fire of morality is calculated not by the number of people you have treated, but by the number of people you have helped," Sui Xiong explained. "There are many people in that commercial corp, and you and Ray did a very good deed by removing the danger, and saving them from being killed by monsters. That's why you received a ball of fire then. In the last few days, you have indeed treated as many people as you saved from that commercial corp. So again you got one ball of fire, which I think it's very sensible."

Steele understood at last. She nodded, then sat aside and became lost in contemplation.

Since the fire of morality was lit, her mind had begun to change. She still had sex with some random guys from time to time, but she had also begun to pay more attention to accumulating the fire of morality.

Sui Xiong was very happy about this. He created the red and blue fire system to make Steele control her sexual desires, and lead her on the right path. He was pleased when he saw that Steele had begun to behave like a kind person.

Compared with Steele, Ray had to make a more dramatic change.

Ever since Ray made his oath and declared that he would always be loyal to Sui Xiong, his whole personality started to change. He became very active, positive, and energetic. He was like a tree that had finally rid itself of a heavy stone. When they walked across a town, Ray even went to the magic pagoda to ask an advanced wizard to transform his armor. When he came back, Sui Xiong found that he changed his black armor into white. Ray no longer looked scary, but very amicable. Moreover, he had started paying attention to his looks. Every day, he would comb his hair and carefully pick out all his clothes. He was no longer a guy who was neglectful of his appearance.

In particular, he looked graceful during battle, even when he was fighting a monster. He was not a cruel and ferocious adventurer anymore; rather, he had become a decent knight, wandering the world.

He did not have a proper mount yet but he soon would. He had already caught a Copper Crown Dragon, and had been taming it the past few days.

"A copper crown dragon is not the best choice for a mount," Ray said to Sui Xiong one day as he was taming it. "It doesn't fly very fast and isn't very strong. It does have very sharp teeth; but I don't need that, so its teeth are of no use to me."

"Then what is the best choice for a mount?" Sui Xiong asked.

"A horse, of course!" Ray laughed. "My riding skills and spearplay work best when I am riding on a horse. It doesn't mean that other creatures are not suitable to be my mount, a horse is the best choice, after all. But it is not easy to find a horse that I can ride during a fight!"

Since then, every time he arrived in a town, he would pay a visit to the businessmen there and ask if they had some good horses to sell. In fact, Ray had seen a few good horses, but most of them excelled only in intelligence or speed, not strength. What Ray needed was not an intelligent horse or a fast one; he needed a big and strong horse that could withstand impact during his fight with another equally strong knight riding a horse.

Of course, a horse of this kind only came around by chance, not on demand. He had no choice but to begin to find a mount among the monsters. This copper crown dragon, which would definitely cause panic among the people, became his second choice.

A copper crown dragon was not an easy creature to tame. It was still very ferocious when they arrived at the Golden Tower City. It didn't dislike Ray, but it would try to hurt people whenever it got the chance.

If Ray had still been solo bandit like before, he wouldn't mind riding a scary monster. The Nargakurga he used to ride was also a scary beast, and even helped him in the battlefield. But now Ray was a knight who wanted to help others out, so it was impossible for him to ride a ferocious monster.

There was also a good chance that it would eat a random pedestrian from time to time… If that really happens, I would like His Majesty to make it wear a golden collar, Ray thought.

As they walked through the city gate, Ray hit the dragon on its head to warn it not to hurt the soldiers standing beside the gate, who seemed very sturdy.

The Golden Tower City was just a common city, located in the midwestern part of the Commonwealth. It was also very close to the borderland. If they started from the highland and walked west down the plain for about a week, they could arrive at the Country of Thunder and Lightning. This was a client state of the Commonwealth of Mifata, famous for its plantation industry as well as mineral resources.

The Golden Tower City was a bit smaller than the Green Tree City. Before they entered this city, Sui Xiong used his spiritual sensing to explore this city. He found that there was a magic pagoda located in the center of the city. The owner of this tower was only an advanced wizard, and hadn't stepped into the legendary world.

The public security in this city was not that ideal and the street was not bustling either. However, there were quite a few adventurers walking on the street. Apart from the golden pagoda located in the center of the city, the most obvious landmark was probably the row of gallows outside of the city. Multiple corpses were hanging in the gallows, swinging in the wind.

"I feel very uncomfortable," Sui Xiong said. "It seems that there are few good people here, while bad guys are plentiful…"

"People in different cities have their own ways of living. You shouldn't do to others what you don't want others to do to you," Ray said. "I came here to recruit Knight Parne, and we shall leave as soon as we get him. As for how people in this city live, that has nothing to do with us."

"Shouldn't we do anything?" Sui Xiong said, frowning when he saw a child trying to steal something from a drunk adventurer. "Something is wrong here!"

Before he finished talking, the drunk adventurer noticed the boy and grabbed him. He twisted the child's right arm with his big palm. The boy screamed in pain and fell over. Crack! The child's bone broke.

The drunken adventurer walked away, cursing, and left that poor boy whose bone was broken lying on the ground, crying. There were many people walking past the boy, but no one laid eyes on him or showed him any sympathy.

"Even if he is a thief, this…this is too much!" Sui Xiong murmured. "He could just give the child a slap. There is no need to break his bone!"

"Your Majesty, I think you failed to notice that among those who are hanging on the gallows, more than one person is guilty of stealing." Ray shook his head and sighed. "Maybe in this city, stealing is a felony."

"One must die as long as he steals? That's cruel…"

"Who knows… Maybe the overlord of this city has his own thoughts," Ray said. "The overlord has the right to make laws and put them into practice at his own will, as long as the law doesn't interfere with those made by the overlord who is in a higher rank than him. As far as I am concerned, there is no law stating a thief shall not be hanged in the Commonwealth of Mifata, so it is totally legal for the local overlord to make hanging thieves law.

"The law system here is crap!" Sui Xiong complained. He ordered Steele to treat the boy. Steele's healing spell was very effective, and she easily treated him. The boy was jittery, thanked the gracious and attractive young lady in front him, and hurriedly went away.

"That boy is very good. He knows one needs to express his gratitude when he gets help from others," Steele said. "He must have been educated, so how did he become a thief?"

"Do you want to help him?" Ray asked.

Steele thought for a while and shook her head. "Everyone has their own way of living. Even if I wanted to help, we could only help him this one time. He still has to rely on himself later. Besides, a mortal cannot manage to help every poor guy who is in trouble."

Sui Xiong was greatly troubled by these words. He waved his tentacles and ordered Ray and Steele to leave him. Then he asked someone where Knight Parne lived. He had made up his mind to find Knight Parne, and immediately leave that d*mn place once he managed to persuade Parne to join his church.

Chapter 96: Chapter 96

Translator: Sigma Editor: Sigma

According to Satan's introduction, Knight Parne lived in the West District of the Golden Tower City. There were settlements of adventurers, subordinate aristocrats, and low-level mages, all of whom were generally capable, had extensive connections, or were well-to-do, but would not find it easy to climb up further on the social ladder. In the view of the earth, they were the so-called 'middle class.'

The West District kept good social order with guards in the patrol. Pickpockets or tramps couldn't be seen. Compared with the East District, where they entered the city, the situation here was much better.

Knight Parne's address was the Dendrobium Street in West District. This world had no concept of house numbers, so the exact address couldn't be made very clear.

Of course, it was hard not to confuse veteran adventurers. Ray had always believed in the word-of-mouth approach, so he randomly looked for a seemingly kind guard and took out two silver coins. With a smile, he said, "Industrious patrol, could I invite you to a drink?"

The guard stopped and looked at the silver coins with a smile and replied, "Those could buy a bottle of wine; what do you want to know? I'm just an ordinary soldier, and I do not know any special information."

Ray handed the silver coins straight to him. "I have a fortunate friend, who is working in the territory of a nobleman. That gentleman practices martial arts all day and doesn't care about his administration, so he is looking for someone to help him take care of miscellaneous things. My friend recommended a knight named Parne living here. Do you know where he lives?"

The guard froze for a moment, sighed with regret, and said, "You're late. Knight Parne passed away."

"Ah, he was very healthy when my friend came by a few years ago!" Ray was startled and quickly asked, "Why did it happen so suddenly?"

The guard hesitated for a moment. He looked around and whispered, "It's inconvenient for me to tell you. Go directly to his house and ask, as his family is easy to recognize. There are two rows of marigolds at front of the gate." Finished, he turned away, not willing to stay even for a moment.

Ray secretly frowned, but didn't show it on his face. He went to look for Knight Parne's house according to the guidance of the guard.

In the meantime, Sui Xiong, who was far in the four northwestern towns, had found Satan who was busy.

"What?! Parne died?! That's impossible!" Satan exclaimed in a loud voice. "He is in his prime and is a senior soldier. There is no reason for him to die suddenly!"

"I'm tracing it, and I'll know the reason soon."

Satan lowered his head, his hood covering the anger on his face. "Your Majesty, if he was killed, please allow me to take a day off to get revenge on his behalf!"

"Oh, did you have a good relationship with him?"

"When I was abject, it was he who helped me," said Satan. "Without his help, I might not have been able to leave Golden Tower City. At the time I was penniless and couldn't afford food, let alone the fare for travel. He took care of my life and helped me to contact a group of adventurers determined to leave the Confederation of Mifata, and helped me forge some of the necessary documents… I was able to safely leave with his help. Later, I went to The Duchy of Ray to live for some time, travelled to the Commonwealth of Gold Coins by boat, and finally arrived at the four northwestern towns."

Sui Xiong nodded slightly. "It seems that this person was very good, right?"

"Yes. He was a noble who believed in the God of Knights. He insisted on mercy and fairness, and was very keen on doing things according to rules and laws. He was eager to help those who really encountered difficulties, so he was prestigious in the Golden Tower City. Parne was a respected gentleman who usually mediated conflicts among various forces in the middle and lower levels."

Sui Xiong secretly sighed, and lamented such a man dying so young.

As Sui Xiong was in contact with Satan, Ray had already found the home of the Knight Parne according to the instruction of the guard.

It was a rather beautiful little western-styled house, showing that the owner had good financial resources. In front of the house, two rows of marigolds exuded a warm golden light in the sun, making people feel the warmth in their hearts. However, when one looked closely, they could see that the house was very old, and that many places needed repairs. Perhaps the owner's current financial condition was not satisfactory.

Suddenly, Ray frowned, looking at a scratch in a corner. It was a small pothole with a slight bulge in the middle, which at first glance seemed harmless. But being an expert combatant, when he realized what it was, he found it somewhat shocking.

This was the trace left behind by a crossbow arrow; a crossbow arrow that had been completely shot into the wall! Although the crossbow arrow vector was not long, if you wanted to shoot a crossbow arrow completely into the wood wall, you needed extraordinary power. To do this, what was needed was definitely not an ordinary crossbow, but a special heavy crossbow.

This heavy crossbow could easily penetrate a knight's body armor; even a shield might not block it. As long as one was trained for a period, even a rookie just entering the area could use it to kill powerful fighters. And if the right enchantments were used on the crossbow or crossbow arrow, it could even penetrate the protective spell of a powerful mage and kill him.

Not only was this expensive, but the production and transportation were also subject to strict controls. Ray remembered when he was a prince, he had only seen a few crossbows inside the strictly-guarded arsenal. Later, one of them left a life-lasting impression on him.

"Your Majesty, Knight Parne's death may really be a problem," Ray quietly reported his findings to Sui Xiong through the soul contact.

Sui thought for a moment and said, "No matter what the problem is, we have to meet his family face to face. We have come here, so let's talk about other things after we speak with his family in detail."

Ray nodded, took Steele to the door, and knocked. The door opened after only one knock.

"Why are you here making trouble again? The agreed repayment time has not arrived yet!" A red-haired girl holding a sword emerged, accompanied by an angry roar. Clearly she was well prepared to fight an enemy, but it was not her enemy that came.

"Um…I'm sorry, I made a mistake." When she saw two totally unknown visitors, the girl suddenly realized her mistake, hurriedly returned the sword to the scabbard, and blushed.

Ray slightly smiled and greeted her in an aristocratic way with impeccable elegance. "Please pay no mind, as no knight would be angry with such a beautiful lady."

The girl's face suddenly turned redder.

"I'm Ray. This is my friend, Steele. We were commissioned by mage Satan to invite Knight Parne to be an administrative official in the Explored Territory." Ray smiled, and asked—although he knew what she would answer—"Is this Knight Parne's house?"

The girl was stunned, and she stared blankly at the smiling Ray and Steele, confirming their identities from their aristocratic etiquette, which could only be possessed by special training. However, tears shone in her eyes.

"My father is dead now." She strove to make herself look strong, to keep her voice from trembling. She worked hard to hold back tears and keep them from falling. "You are so kind, but I am very sorry!"

Ray pretended he just got the news, gasped lightly, and asked, "Knight Parne passed away? But Mr. Satan said he was an outstanding knight. He said that although he usually made a living by copying and teaching, his martial arts were not inferior to mine; forgive me, I could hardly imagine a knight like me would die in his forties… May I take the liberty of asking what led to his death? Disease or injury?"

The girl kept silent for a long time. She lowered her head and whispered, "It had nothing to do with you. In short, my father died, and it is impossible for him to go to your territory as an administrative official. Please go back."

Ray quietly tipped Steele off with a wink. Steele immediately said, "Then there is one more thing we have to do. Mr. Satan owes Knight Parne a big favor, and he is doing very well now, but he is busy with his work and cannot come here. Knowing that we were going to visit Knight Parne, he especially prepared a gift and asked us to bring it to you on the way."

Her words successfully attracted the attention of the girl, who waved her hands. "Gifts? That's so kind of you, but there's no need. My father never expected anything in return for helping others!"

"Please—this way we feel embarrassed." Steele smiled gently, and behaved elegantly as a spring breeze. The girl couldn't help but come away with a good impression of her. "Mr. Satan has a high status in the territory, and he usually takes care of us as well. We need to help him with whatever he commissions us to do, for reasons of either emotion or justice. It is just a gift, so please do not decline goodwill coming from thousands of miles away, okay?"

Although it was in the form of a request, Steele's gentle temperament made it difficult for people to refuse her pleas. Men and women alike, as long as they were not hardhearted veterans, couldn't refuse Steele's kind face. Of course, the girl could not, either. She hesitated for a moment then invited Ray and Steele in. Then she hurriedly closed the door and dropped the latch.

"What? Are the law and order in this city poor? Why do you also have to lock the door in the daytime?" Ray said, showing an appropriate amount of surprise.

The girl gave an awkward smile but did not answer. Obviously she did not want to mention some issues.

The two followed the girl in through the door, but before they could sit down, they heard a sharp voice from upstairs. "Sister, have those horrible people left?"

The girl laughed, even more embarrassed, and hurriedly apologized to Ray and Steele.

Of course, they did not mind such a thing, brushing off the embarrassment with a laugh.

Then, they saw two people from upstairs: Mrs. Teague, Knight Parne's wife, and his second daughter, Nice.

As for Knight Parne's eldest daughter, Liv, she must have been that somewhat rash girl.

Mrs. Teague had a distinctly elven character. Presumably, she was a person of mixed race between an elf and a human; the so-called half-elf. The eldest daughter, Liv, was obviously predominantly human. No elven features could be seen on her. The second daughter, Nice, was more similar to her mother. She had slightly longer, pointy ears, and silver hair that seemed to glitter. It was evident that their bloodline was the relatively rare elf of moon.

After they greeted everyone, Ray took out the space bag and took "Mr. Satan's gift" out. It was a set of beautiful dazzling porcelain, as well as a bag of valuable gems.
