Chapter 1356: Chapter 83: A Night of Splendid Scenery
After avoiding the topic of the Golden Dragon wreaking havoc and destroying the Torrido clan’s castle, the true dragon of the Divine Land lit a cigarette to calm herself, then suddenly asked, “Aren’t you going to check on that little guy called Secret Steel?”
Calling him a little guy is quite fitting… After all, the age of the true dragon of the Godly Land is well established — First Tower Master Dazzle didn’t object to this.
However, Dazzle shook his head and said, “The relationship between tower masters isn’t hierarchical. Strictly speaking, we are all companions in the pursuit of magical excellence. Since Secret Steel came here without greeting us, he probably has his own reasons. I know his personality. If needed, he won’t hide it from us.”
“Is that so.” Long Xiruo nodded noncommittally, blew a puff of smoke, and then casually said, “You sure are easily trusting of others.”
Luminous Tower Master smiled and said, “Maybe I’m just the type to easily trust others… Besides, humans already have enough suspicion by nature.”
“Little dog.” Long Xiruo looked at him with disdain… Yet she thought to herself that in some matters, she was almost the same, so she put out the cigarette, “What are you planning to do now? Fafnir seems to have vanished nearby, and you’re not planning to see Secret Steel… Can’t just stay here, can we? Let me tell you, my time is very precious, every minute is worth hundreds of thousands of Mithril!”
“If Teacher needs, there’s still some in my private vault this year.” Luminous Tower Master said gently.
“Alright… I’m staying!”
Dazzle Tower Master then glanced at the busy vampires ahead, and then looked down at the abyss below, furrowing his brows, “Very strange, not long ago… the reaction from that thing suddenly disappeared.”
“That thing?” Long Xiruo imitated Dazzle’s pose, also gazing at the abyss rift below.
Speaking of the Unhuman Domain, there wasn’t anything that this true dragon of the Divine Land didn’t dread — after all, here she lost the support of the Divine Land, and there was no concept of unlimited stamina.
Among the things she feared was this nearby Luminous Tower Master, with whom she had once shared a teacher-student bond — this fellow is too aware of her weaknesses.
Then there’s that thing beneath the territory of the thirteen clans — several times when this true dragon was exploring (causing trouble) in the Unhuman Domain, she could vaguely sense that something terrifying was hidden below the Lost Rift, something that should exceed the limits of this world’s extreme.
Using Eastern local slang, clearly an immortal who could have ascended thousands of years ago but is just stubbornly refusing to leave the ground… things like that.
She had thought about exploring a few times before, but due to various reasons, she never did… Should she take this opportunity now?
Long Xiruo glanced at Dazzle quietly and ultimately abandoned this notion… who knows what strange things exploring this time might bring?
The true dragon of the Divine Land always felt herself contrary to the Unhuman Domain.
“Indeed… Teacher should know about my intelligence gathering capabilities regarding the Unhuman Domain.” Luminous Tower Master nodded affirmatively, “Over the years, the thirteen clans have been trying to awaken something lurking in the abyss through the Holy Blood Ceremony… In recent years, I’ve begun to feel the consciousness reaction of that thing below becoming stronger. But now, it’s strange…”
“Isn’t this a good thing?” Long Xiruo shrugged, “With fewer troublesome things, we have more leisure, doesn’t matter how it vanished.”
Luminous Tower Master smiled bitterly, “The management model here is slightly different from that on Teacher’s side. I cannot achieve the state of awe in the east where all non-humans remain fearful. Should we say there are too many beliefs here, or because there are too many beliefs, it has become a land of disbelief?”
Saying this, Dazzle lightly tapped the ultra-long magic wand in his hand on the ground, then he unfolded a rectangular magic technique on the ground… He closed his eyes.
Only after a good while did he open his eyes and say, “Finally, I’ve found Fafnir’s exact location.”
“Oh? Found it?” Long Xiruo immediately perked up, “Where is it?”
Luminous Tower Master looked somewhat surprised, “Seems to be near the Torrido’s Farm.”
“Farm?” The little butterfly monster blinked curiously and asked, “Sister Long, do vampires need to farm?”
Long Xiruo coldly laughed, “Vampire Farms don’t have the same concept as the farms you know… you’ll be surprised later.”
“（⊙.⊙）”
Luminous Tower Master once again tapped the ground with the magic wand, interrupting, “Let’s teleport there… If Fafnir has also damaged the clan’s Farm, it would be even more serious than destroying someone’s living place.”
Long Xiruo scorned, “Only you can allow such a Farm to exist.”
Luminous Tower Master could only smile bitterly, “One can’t let the thirteen clans set their sights on the existing world… Hungry vampires can do anything. Currently, we can house most of them within the Unhuman Domain, this cost is already quite reasonable.”
The true dragon of the Godly Land again remained noncommittal and then said calmly, “You better think through this, such peace may not last long… The development brought by peace will soon reach the limits that this field can withstand. Once this domain shatters… you may not be so lucky to find a destroyed Divine Nation and build another new Unhuman Domain again.”
Luminous Tower Master’s expression shifted, “Teacher knows?”
Long Xiruo said calmly, “Just sensed it… The space structure here is somewhat unstable.”
“Indeed…” Luminous sighed, “Recently, there’s been more and more changes, it’s almost…”
During the conversation, the teleportation magic technique had fully unfolded, a brilliant flash passed, and they disappeared from the cliff; the conversation ended there.
…
…
Once the party arrived at the Farm, Luo Qiu and others were settled by Mister Vampire in a small villa on the outskirts of the Farm Town.
Afterwards, Mister Vampire left with the farmer girl Mina, saying he would take her back to her original living place, letting the party rest and wait in the villa.
In an instant, only Boss Luo and his servant were left in the villa, along with Miro-chan, the Golden Dragon disguised as a human, and Teresa.
Around the villa, not a single patrolling vampire was present — inside the villa, however, you could find plenty of fresh ingredients suitable for human consumption.
Boss Luo had mentioned wanting to taste the maid’s dinner back at the rift bottom, so after Mister Vampire left, the maid directly took the ingredients into the kitchen and quickly presented exquisite cuisine.
As for the Golden Dragon, it found a huge bathhouse in the villa during this time — it had already planned how to bathe with beauties, and upon imagining fascinating scenarios, the Golden Dragon immediately had two lines of nosebleeds.
As for the issue of holding back the gun… it did not exist.
“Delicious!! Absolutely wonderful!”
Although the food on the table could already earn quite high marks based purely on appearance, once the flavors exploded in her mouth, Teresa couldn’t help but exclaim.
“Speaking of which, Miss Teresa, has Miss Maria not come back to her senses?” Boss Luo placed his hands on the table and asked.
Teresa shook her head, “Feels like my sister is sleeping quite deeply this time… This situation hasn’t happened before. But, I can feel that she’s safe.”
Probably because of purging the resentful spirit invading her body, causing excessive mental burden… though it somewhat involved the maid’s quiet reminders forcing her potential.
Anyway, there’s no hurry to wake Maria — although the original purpose of this trip was to find the Golden Dragon and solve its breeding difficulties, technically they shouldn’t stay here.
However… the Golden Dragon is already here.
There’s a feeling that interesting things are yet to happen… Hence, Boss Luo didn’t intend to reveal anything.
…
After the simple dinner, the Golden Dragon rushed out of the dining area, off to fiddle with something.
Soon after, the Golden Dragon, wrapped in a bath towel, gently pushed open the living room door, “Hmm, I found a nice bath… beauty… where is she?”
In the living room, only Teresa sat on the sofa, engrossed in the Non-Human Newspaper — although she had never walked within the Unhuman Domain with her own consciousness, her sister Maria had shown her such newspapers in the real world.
Every time she saw this magical dynamic newspaper, Teresa was filled with a sense of novelty.
“They went out.” Teresa lifted her head, “Said they went for a walk after dinner… as for bathing, speaking of which, I also want to bathe.”
“Oh… you go ahead.”
The Golden Dragon shook its head, turned around, and closed the door to leave.
Then Teresa heard a crude remark from outside the living room door, followed by a violent tremor throughout the villa.
Teresa rushed out of the living room in a panic and saw that the corridor outside had completely cracked, the walls had turned scorched black… Additionally, there was a big hole in the ceiling, and it seemed that Miro-chan was nowhere to be seen.
…
…
With flowing light, the Luminous Tower Master, the true dragon, and the lady with butterfly wings landed at the edge of the Farm Town.
In a grove outside the town, specks of glowing light floated amidst the trees, creating a scene typical of a beautiful night – but the true dragon of China was indifferent to this.
Instead, it destroyed the atmosphere by saying, “Oh, you can immediately sense Fafnir’s perverted scent… It’s really nearby, and very close!”
The Luminous Tower Master looked up at the night sky at this time, vaguely hearing something.
Inclined his ear to listen carefully.
“Beauty! Beauty—! Where are you, Beauty? Beauty—!”
In the sky above, a figure wrapped in a towel sped by, getting closer… Upon hearing this, the true dragon of China immediately felt a chill, “Why do I feel like giving this guy a beating?”
“Teacher… could you restrain yourself a bit here?” The Luminous Tower Master quickly tried to persuade politely.
“Beauty! Beauty… Beauty, oh!”
The true dragon of China suddenly clenched its fist, “I can’t take it anymore… I can’t control this fist of mine! Is it okay if I don’t kill him?”
Then, the true dragon of China directly shot into the sky.
“Old…” The Luminous Tower Master couldn’t help but sigh, then looked at the lady with butterfly wings nearby and asked quite helplessly, “Has the teacher’s temper been like this recently?”
The lady with butterfly wings, biting her finger and thinking, replied, “Hmm… Seems like she’s been more quick-tempered ever since coming back from Mount Tai.”
“Mount Tai?” The Luminous Tower Master was momentarily stunned and then said, “Is it the recent fog incident that happened in Hua Country?”
“Yes!” The lady with butterfly wings nodded her head.
The Luminous Tower Master pondered for a while but then noticed the increasingly dense flow of magic. He directly said, “Could I ask you a favor?”
“Of course!” The lady with butterfly wings quickly nodded.
The Luminous Tower Master said, “The teacher’s actions make quite a commotion. I want to set up a stationary inner border here to try not to disturb the Torrido Clan vampires of the Farm… If it’s possible, could you ask the teacher to be a little quieter?”
“Okay!” The lady with butterfly wings opened her colorful wings and flew out of the forest.
Seeing this, the Luminous Tower Master breathed a sigh of relief and started focusing on preparing the mentioned magic technique… A sound-isolating magic technique, which was now quietly spreading across the Farm Town, unnoticed even by the high-ranking aristocrats currently residing in the Farm.
Next, just as the Luminous Tower Master was about to activate the capture magic technique, a small bit of glowing light floated past, seemingly heading in a certain direction… The Luminous Tower Master looked at the direction in which these fireflies were gathering, frowning slightly in confusion.
…
Not far from the villa, there was a small patch of forest filled with fireflies. Even at night, one could see the forest blanketed with wildflowers, many of which in the current world would be considered rare treasures.
“I’ll wait for you here.”
“Then I’ll come back once I’ve handled things.” The maid nodded.
She’s headed to the cave passage leading out of the rift road, the residences of Norman and Bixisi… per Boss Luo’s instructions, she will tidy up that place well, so it won’t be disturbed by later arrivals.
When possible to do manually and with ample time, Boss Luo naturally prefers this hands-on approach—after the maid left, Boss Luo sat directly beneath a small tree in the forest.
He opened the second beast hide booklet.
The fireflies in the forest began to gather here, forming a vortex above the small flower sea, scattering across every inch, making the light suitable for reading.
“…Perhaps, we are all wrong; the children are not terrifying at all. What we fear is simply recalling the days as ‘crops.’ My second child with Bixisi really needs little, just a bit of blood daily… Such an adorable child. Due to the arrival of this second child, even living in a place far from companions doesn’t seem lonely at all.”
“I enjoy hearing this child call me Dad, I enjoy hearing this child call Bixisi Mom… I once again feel that heartbeat sensation from the time I first came to this place.”
“Every day passes with such happiness.”
“Bixisi’s body somehow suddenly weakened! Weakened! What do I do? What do I do?”
“I have no solutions… Maybe the food isn’t enough. I can’t let the child and Bixisi go hungry. So today, I secretly went back to the companions’ residence.”
“I couldn’t obtain a bit of food from my former companions… They seem different now. I can only take some risks, go further to find some fresh algae… No way, the places nearby for collecting algae are all guarded by them. Luckily, I accidentally found a spot full of algae, and it’s close to home! What a lucky find!”
“Today I completed the gathering earlier than before, eagerly returning home ahead of time… but.”
“I finally understood why Bixisi’s body is growing weaker day by day. She… She was hiding it from me, secretly feeding the child more.”
“What have I done… What have I done?”
“I picked up the weapon and struck at the child… it’s still in Bixisi’s arms! But it’s also biting her wrist! What have I done… I’m sorry, I’m sorry, my child!”
“Bixisi hugged me tightly, crying and saying… it was all voluntary. She begged me to spare this child, saying it’s her whole world for now. I dearly love her, I can’t refuse her request…”
This beast hide booklet is much more elegant than the first one, several pages rolled together… Boss Luo now placed the already read page underneath, preparing to continue reading.
At this moment, some slight footsteps came from nearby.
It seemed unlikely that the maid had returned… Luo Qiu would have sensed You Ye’s presence if she had returned—Boss Luo at this moment raised his head to see a young man with blonde hair and green eyes wearing a white fitted long robe, holding an exceptionally long magic wand in hand.
…
Glowing light gathered like starlight, transforming into a galaxy in the sea of flowers, slowly ascending, illuminating the splendid hundred flowers and the tranquil woman sitting below a tree.
Upon seeing the woman sitting amidst the flowers and fireflies, Dazzle couldn’t help but slow his steps, as if having navigated through thick fog and brushed aside jungle to finally discover the beauty under the magnificent starry sky… stopping in his tracks.
At the instant their gazes met, he felt an emotion he hadn’t experienced in his hundred and sixty plus years… a gentle heart flutter.
Hundreds of years immersed in the vast ocean of magical techniques, realizing he had unknowingly reached the peak of the Non-Human Domain… he had never felt this before.
This was a heart palpitation that even the hundred thousand thirty thousand magic guide books hidden in the secretary tower couldn’t provide.
A smile.
Just a simple, friendly smile that struck his soul.
Her smile made Dazzle feel that it would be a moment remembered for a lifetime… a beautiful night scene.
