Alibuda Era Festival 21

page views:1 Publication date:2023-03-24

My conversation with Lindsay ended in a state of utter terror. I was confident that performing magical clairvoyance on Lindsay wouldn't be dangerous, but the problem lay in what followed.
What if we found the core hidden inside Lindsay's body? Removing it was imperative, but how?
"Is that even a question?"
Vanessa sneered, shoving the scalpel into my hand again. I threw it away in annoyance, but she swiftly shoved it back in. It was much heavier now; upon closer inspection, I realized it was a saw.
"I almost forgot, if we're going to open her up to get the heart, a scalpel won't be very useful. We'll have to use a saw to open her chest first. I'll hold the patient's hands down while you saw with all your might. Don't worry about what you hear; it'll quiet down in a few minutes."
"Hey, can you please stop bringing this up every time? You and I both know that even if we have to open her up to get the core, there are many ways to avoid endangering her life. With the added protection of magic, the safety is even as high as 90%."
"That's right, but you and I know even better that the magic that seals the activation core inside the body isn't something you can just throw into the body casually, nor can you take it out by cutting open the body with a knife. If you encounter a high-level sealing magic, unless the host's life is lost first, there's no way to take it out."
I understood what Hua Gengsha was saying. High-level black magic always involves blood and life. I've also seen some great wizards seal artifacts into human bodies. The first procedure to break the seal is to kill that person. Some more perverse wizards even add several extra layers of protection, limiting the method and order of killing. If the order is wrong, such as piercing the chest before beheading, the safety mechanism will be triggered, immediately causing an explosion.
I really want to learn this technique; it's so convenient, and all my teammates will be useful. Although I wouldn't lay a hand on Ah Xue or Neon, I wouldn't hold back when it comes to killing Future and Violet. This technique is highly classified; I found the information in the Ishtar Library. I haven't had time to study it in depth yet. For safety's sake, I wanted to team up with Hua Gengsha. She's a top-tier wizard by all accounts, and with her help, the chances of success would be much higher. But now even she says that killing the host is absolutely necessary, so Lindsay's situation is probably dire.
"By the way, the latest intelligence from Solancia just arrived. Call your sister over so we can all take a look. Also, let me show you my latest work, which I just finished. And come pick up the medicine I've prepared."
Hua Gengsha said smugly, a rare sight on her face. That latest work must be something extraordinary, but considering her character, I had no idea it could be anything good. On
the way to find Leng Linglan, I saw a group of Bai family members catching three deer from the jungle, saying they'd need them later. It seems unnecessary to catch so many deer for a venison feast; it must be related to some kind of blood sacrifice. Perhaps the vehicles sent by Bin Laden require a blood sacrifice to activate.
(Sigh, being with these monsters all day, blood and gore everywhere, my brain is just filled with the smell of blood, it's disgusting...)
I found Leng Linglan outside, and we went together to see Hua Gengsha to learn about the information sent by Bin Laden. The Sea Merchant King is indeed capable; he sent over the information about Solancia so quickly. Even Leng Linglan couldn't explain so much. When Hua Gengsha laid out the files in front of us, Leng Linglan simply couldn't believe what she was seeing.
The information Leng Linglan had previously mentioned, including the creation of the Doomsday Dragon and Lunfiel's rebellion, had all been thoroughly investigated by Bai Laden. It was revealed that after Lunfiel's failed attempt to destroy the dragon, he was severely wounded by experts sent by the royal family. He escaped the capital with the help of his subordinates who risked their lives, and his whereabouts are unknown; he is currently wanted by the authorities.
Currently, there are three powerful leaders in Solancia: the King of Solancia, the High Priest, and the Third Prince.
After Lunfiel's failed rebellion, he was quickly stripped of his royal status and right to the throne, and all military and political affairs under his control were handed over to the Third Prince.
King Solancia, Bianca's adoptive father, is rightfully the ruler of a nation, wielding immense power. But that High Priest… I have no recollection of him. Although I knew Solancia had a priesthood and a High Priest, he didn't seem to be particularly famous, and I couldn't recall any of his achievements.
I looked at Leng Linglan; she had visited the Solancia capital several times, so she should know more about these matters than I did.
"Well... I don't have a very deep impression of him either. King Solancia is licentious and lustful. He usually hides in the palace to enjoy himself and leaves affairs to his subordinates. I've only seen him a few times from afar. As for the High Priest... I've heard Lunfer mention him briefly. Although he is the leader of the priests and officials, he is the king's playmate, and his behavior... is no different from those people in Alibuda."
It seems that all crows are black. When it comes to playing with women, humans and elves are not much different. Alibuda also had a large number of monks, priests, and high priests, many of whom practiced asceticism. However, those of higher rank and closer to royalty and nobility were usually quite decadent. Indulging in fine food and clothing, they became bloated and, naturally, indulged in lewdness.
When I served in the Alibuda Imperial Guard in my early years, my rank was too low; I only associated with lower-middle-class nobles and had no right to participate in the lewd activities of the high priests and high priests. But Leng Linglan had probably seen much more. She handled military and political affairs personally, dealing with many confidential intelligence reports. She was already disgusted by the sordid behavior among nobles and priests, and it no longer bothered her. Even when she heard scandals about other royal families, she was used to it.
From Leng Linglan's reaction, we can see another thing: in her eyes, the King of Solancia and the High Priest are merely mediocre individuals with average talent and no significant strength. Otherwise, no matter how bad their character, as long as they possess extraordinary strength, they would attract Leng Linglan's attention.
I thought for a moment and said, "The creation of the Doomsday War Dragon has reached its final stage, and with the rebellion of Lunfiel, Solancia should be on high alert. Entering the capital shouldn't be so easy, right?"
Leng Linglan hesitated, and Hua Gengsha glanced at her, saying, "The description in the intelligence is not like that. Please let this Second Princess explain the details."
I looked at Leng Linglan, listening to her explanation. King Solancia was known for his love of pleasure, leaving state affairs to his princes while indulging in banquets and celebrations. Previously, his second prince, Lunfiel, had advised him against it, keeping these indulgences confined to the palace and preventing them from becoming truly shameful. However, with Lunfiel's downfall, King Solancia became unrestrained, recently holding several beauty pageants and carnival celebrations.
Generally speaking, elves love nature and admire simplicity. While they possess a high aesthetic sense, they abhor extravagance and waste. Things like beauty pageants and lavish celebrations are not in the nature of elves, and for a king to engage in such activities is a disgrace to the elves. It's baffling that such a vile thing, which should happen to humans, would happen to the Elf King. But when you think about the bizarre behavior of the underworld prince, Lunfiel, it doesn't seem so strange... Perhaps both generations of the Solancia royal family are just perverted.
"While they're holding a celebration, we can sneak in under cover. Oh, and there's something else the intelligence mentioned at the end..." Hua Gengsha said, "Solancia is looking for you."
I asked curiously, "Looking for me?"
"That's right. The details are unclear, but Solancia has already taken action, searching for your whereabouts, John Farrell, through various channels. Our battle here should have reached them soon. I heard it was even ordered by the King of Solancia himself."
"This... are you sure they're just looking for me, not issuing a warrant for my arrest?"
Considering the national and personal grudges, Solancia and I are sworn enemies. Their eagerness to find me can't be anything good, but thinking about that now is useless. We can only wait for more intelligence to reveal the truth.
While we were talking, Leng Linglan seemed restless. Hua Gengsha glanced at her, took out a medicine bottle from her bosom, and Leng Linglan took the bottle without saying a word and swallowed a golden pill inside.
Judging from the situation, this should be medicine to treat Leng Linglan's body. Just as I was thinking this, Hua Gengsha suddenly took out another medicine bottle from her sleeve, placed it in front of us, and said, "This is medicine to treat Princess Leng. Taking this will ensure that your true qi will circulate smoothly for seven days without triggering any hidden dangers."
This sentence made Leng Linglan and me stare wide-eyed. If this was medicine for injuries, then what was the thing we just ate? This old hag is full of poisons; eating her things indiscriminately will have very serious consequences.
"This is my newly completed masterpiece! Didn't I say I'd show it to you all? The Second Princess swallowed the medicine bottle the moment she saw it. Was she that hungry?"
"You old hag, that's not fair! You saw her taking your things and swallowing them, and you didn't even stop her. Are you even
on the same boat now?" "How was I supposed to know you'd be so reckless and impatient? In the past twenty years, among all the people I've been on the same boat with, she's the only one who dared to take my things without even asking. I haven't seen such a true hero in years! Amazing!"
Hua Gengsha gave Leng Linglan a thumbs up, expressing her admiration, but I always felt she was setting a trap for Leng Linglan. Leng Linglan's expression at this moment was much colder than usual. Her voice was calm, but you could hear the suppressed excitement in her voice.
"...What did I eat?"
"Here's a sincere piece of advice: from now on, until you hear the explanation, keep your eyes fixed on me. Don't blink, and don't look at anyone else, or...you'll bear the consequences."
Hua Gengsha said seriously, "I've recently become very interested in the changes in human emotions, and among all emotions, true love is the rarest. What exactly is true love? What are people in true love like? Why can true love generate such great power? I'm very curious, yet I have no way of figuring it out. Later, after painstaking research, I finally devised a prescription, and then I found an important medicinal ingredient in a hot spring..." "
Excuse me, let me digress," I said, "Was that hot spring where you found the medicinal ingredient the one where you met a master who inspired you?"
"No, this is another hot spring, far more famous in the Dark Realm," Hua Gengsha said. "Combined with the blood taken from the dwarf princess, this secret medicine has finally been refined. I named it True Love. As long as you take this medicine, you will obtain true love."
Having heard of many absurd magical potions, this was the first time I had heard of such an ridiculous drug. It turns out that true love can be obtained so cheaply and absurdly; it truly broadened my horizons. If someone else had said this, I certainly wouldn't have believed it, but coming from Hua Gengsha, and spoken with such conviction, I had no choice but to believe it. Yet, I secretly felt sorry for Leng Linglan; having just obtained "true love," her face was now deathly pale.
"Swallow this pill, and you will find true love. Even if you can't, you'll be forced to find it. Because regardless of gender, the first person of the opposite sex you see after opening your eyes after swallowing this pill will become your true love. The effect is 100% guaranteed, with absolutely no exceptions."
"Ghost Granny, you're making this sound so miraculous. Is it really that powerful? If you accidentally swallow it, is there an antidote?"
"This work, the culmination of half my life's work, truly is that powerful. No matter how strong a master, consuming it will activate True Love, making them invincible, like gods and Buddhas alike. And there is absolutely no antidote; unless the effects wear off, even immortals cannot cure them."
Hua Gengsha took out three bottles from her bosom and placed them before her. "To prevent the effects from being uncontrollable on the first use, I specially prepared four pills. The one the Second Princess just ate was the weakest, the 'One-Quarter Jade,' with effects lasting only a quarter of an hour. These three here are..." "One-day jade, one-month jade, and the most earth-shattering one-life jade."
The three of us were sitting on the ground, without a table or chairs. Hearing Hua Gengsha's explanation, I couldn't resist the urge. The thought of getting my hands on such a thing was like having the perfect aphrodisiac. I couldn't help but reach out to grab it. Hua Gengsha reached out to stop me, but I had anticipated this move. I sidestepped and snatched all three bottles of medicine into my hands. I was overjoyed and about to shout, but then I heard Hua Gengsha murmur, "Ah, we've been seen."
Not understanding what she meant, I opened my mouth to ask, but I saw a pair of startled eyes staring straight at me. After hearing Hua Gengsha's warning, Leng Linglan only dared to stare at the only other woman in front of her. However, in order to snatch the medicine bottle, I rolled sideways and entered Leng Linglan's line of sight. She could have turned her head to look elsewhere, but there were still Bai family members walking around nearby. She was worried about seeing something she shouldn't see, which would have worse consequences. In that moment of hesitation, what was bound to happen happened.
In an instant, there was complete silence between the three of us. There wasn't a sound, so quiet that we could hear each other's heartbeats.
I clearly saw Leng Linglan's snow-white face turn redder and redder, as red as a tomato, so red that even I felt embarrassed. Then, Leng Linglan covered her face with her hands and ran wildly into the woods ahead, the sound of trees snapping and breaking echoing everywhere. We couldn't tell how many trees she had kicked or smashed. As the sound of breaking trees faded into the distance, we watched her disappearing blue figure, knowing full well that we wouldn't see Leng Linglan for at least fifteen minutes.
We had learned what we needed to know, and seen what we needed to see; we should have left. But then, we noticed a very important issue.
"Ghostess, what's the name of the king of Solancia?"
"I don't know."
"...The King of Solancia, the High Priest, the Third Prince...what are their names?"
"I don't know." "
Your information file couldn't possibly have omitted their names, only listing the High Priest and the Third Prince, could it? That's illogical. Why do you think that is?"
"I think...it's probably because of someone's irresponsibility and laziness."
This was truly an answer that made me both laugh and cry. However, no matter how lazy I was, I still needed an answer. I looked at Hua Gengsha, waiting for her to give me her reply after reviewing the file.
"Oh, found it... King Solancia's name is Greens, the High Priest is Bernanke, and the name of Solancia's capital is Wal."
"...Now I know why Solancia is in such a mess... Strange, why do I feel a faint sadness?"
"By the way, I also found the Third Prince's name, it's Lehman, does that sound familiar?"
"Not really, but... Witch, speaking of which, isn't Solancia in this state all the fault of the brothers Lunfield and Lehman?"
"Yes, it's all the Lehman brothers' fault..."
"...Damn Lehman brothers! Strange... why do I feel that faint sadness again?"
The vehicle gifted by Bin Laden arrived an hour later. Everyone regrouped and prepared to depart. As for what happened to each of them during that hour, no one cared.
When Leng Linglan appeared before me, she acted as if nothing was amiss, and I wasn't foolish enough to bring it up. We pretended nothing had happened, but from the occasional eye contact, the fleeting awkwardness and embarrassment... we both knew something was off.
The vehicle that Bin Laden had urgently sent was a half-foot-long wooden frame, painted entirely in red, its purpose unclear. Elsewhere, such red-painted wooden objects might evoke the festive decorations of the New Year, but coming from a family of pedants, I suspected the red paint might be blood; this thing was some kind of evil blood sacrifice tool.
"Don't bother me, move aside, let the professionals handle this!"
Hua Gengsha strode forward, channeling her magic into the wooden frame. The half-foot-long object swayed in the wind and transformed into a colossal machine.
At first glance, it seemed like an ordinary red wooden sled, its power source and propulsion method unclear. However, as the Bai family members methodically harnessed the three captured wild deer to the sled, changed into red clothing, and sat solemnly on the sled, I suddenly felt... the atmosphere was a little strange.
"This...this feeling is like..."
Leng Linglan, who was also sitting on the wooden sled, had a puzzled expression. Lindsay, who was arranged to sit opposite her, was deep in thought and oblivious to everything around her. Just as I was about to say something, Hua Gengsha, who was wearing a bright red cloak, stood at the front of the wooden sled and spoke loudly.
"According to Lord Hou, this Sacred Scythe is an extraordinary artifact passed down from the previous civilization, something incredibly sacred. Only the most outstanding heroes can ride it. Not only can it traverse space and travel thousands of miles in an instant, but it also ignores all barriers and defenses. The most awesome thing is... wherever children shout loudly, it will appear."
Hua Gengsha's simple introduction sent chills down my spine. The various extraordinary features mentioned were indeed extraordinary. I had never heard of such a powerful artifact in my life, especially its special attribute of ignoring all barriers and defenses. It was probably even more powerful than the Creation Sacred Artifact.
However, extraordinary artifacts usually have extraordinary flaws. This wooden sled, with its powerful functions, must also have a fatal flaw. Just hearing Hua Gengsha's last sentence made me think of something very ominous, but before I could stop her, Hua Gengsha activated the sled.
What happened after the sled was activated was a complete disaster...
Hua Gengsha's explanation was not wrong; this wooden sled was an incredible super sacred object, appearing wherever children shouted... However, it should be understood from another perspective.
The definition of "loud shouts" is far too broad; any shout of joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness, as long as it's loud enough, is included. These shouts seem to be calling to the three reindeer pulling the sled. Each time the reindeer rears up, uttering the eerie cry of "Christmas, Christmas," the sled initiates a spatial teleportation, transporting us to a new place.
In a long series of time-space jumps, we don't know how many places we arrived at. Although we didn't stay in each place for long, we caused minor or major disasters.
However, in over a hundred time-space jumps, at least more than half of them, we appeared to the sound of children crying. The situation before us was bizarre. We had broken into child slave factories, brothels, baby markets, and secret locations where children were being used for blood sacrifices and the practice of evil magic.
Every place was heavily guarded, even heavily armed. When they discovered our sudden appearance as a group of strangers, they would smash through buildings with earth-shattering force, causing a huge commotion. After a brief moment of shock, the bodyguards, assassins, and sorcerers would attack us like madmen, trying to kill us to silence us.
Fighting them wasn't our intention, but the unscrupulous merchant had given a death order: the Bai family members were to protect the wooden sled to the death, ensuring it wasn't damaged in the slightest. So, when the enemy roared and charged, the Bai family members took out their weapons from the red cloth bags they carried on their shoulders and fought bravely.
Bin Laden's orders were strict, but his actions were also very generous; the equipment he provided was top-notch and exceptionally powerful. I saw his own men wielding heavy weapons like chainsaws, electric axes, and hand cannons, hacking the enemy to pieces like grass or wheat.
In a single battle, we would have achieved an overwhelming victory. But with dozens of battles happening in quick succession, even our "Bloody Chainsaw Squad," no matter how skilled we were, was exhausted. If it weren't for the support of a master, total annihilation would have been our only fate.
With nowhere to run, I, who was always good at staying out of things, had no choice but to join the battle, frequently summoning lustful spirits and beasts, even releasing the god of lust from hell. Leng Linglan could have stood by and watched, after all, she didn't need to participate in this melee, but seeing innocent children being harmed, how could Leng Linglan, who always considered herself a righteous person, stand idly by? She drew her sword, the Overlord, and led the charge. After dozens of battles, she had killed countless enemies, her blade stained with their blood.
In the heat of battle, even Hua Gengsha was forced to take action. Although she wasn't seen using magic, she stood on the wooden sled, flicked her finger, and any enemy who tried to approach fell silently, dying without explanation. Whether she used extremely poisonous hidden weapons or insidious internal energy to kill them, we don't know. But I think she probably hated one person deeply: Osama bin Laden, who was surely laughing wildly in the Southern Barbarian lands right now.
The more than a hundred dizzying time jumps didn't all happen during battles. We also unexpectedly found ourselves in a hospital, listening to babies cry and watching several busty women breastfeeding with bare breasts. We were all dumbfounded, thinking it was a blessing from heaven.
We also unexpectedly found ourselves on an island, where we saw a villain raping a little girl and ordering a little boy to rape another little girl. The scene was chaotic and filled with screams. Leng Linglan was about to take action to eliminate the evildoer, but because the wooden sled suddenly activated and time-space shifted, she missed. I felt that the villain looked familiar, and it was very likely my bad friend Awu, because when he was looking for his pants to escape, he didn't forget to wink and greet me.
In short, after over a hundred absurd time-space shifts, our group stormed twelve child slave factories, twenty brothels, and sixteen infant markets, and even thwarted six large-scale blood sacrifices, saving nearly a thousand children. We, who only wanted to infiltrate Solancia peacefully and silently, unexpectedly traveled thousands of miles that afternoon, becoming saviors of the world's infants.
Finally, exhausted to the point of barely being able to keep our eyes open, we arrived at a dark valley after a spatial shift. Judging from the silvery light of the surrounding crescent-shaped trees, we knew we were back in Solancia, but before we could confirm our location, a dragon's roar echoed from the surrounding mountain walls. Suddenly, a massive skeletal dragon burst forth from the mountain and flew towards us.
A dragon spirit.
To inexplicably encounter such a powerful evil creature is truly the worst luck imaginable. And the most absurd thing is, there are no babies here, so why were we summoned here?
No one dares to underestimate the Dragon Spirit's powerful combat strength and immortal evil power. It can almost be said to be the strongest undead monster. What's worse is that although the Dragon Spirit only appears in special environments and rarely leaves to harass other places, it usually does not appear alone, but in groups.
The battle began under these circumstances, completely beyond our control. Leng Linglan and Hua Gengsha led the "Blood-Clad Chainsaw Brigade" in a fierce fight, while I, with Lindsay, raced along on a wooden sled. We didn't use spatial teleportation; we simply whipped the reindeer to pull the sled at breakneck speed, trying to escape the valley as quickly as possible.
Fortunately, our wish came true, but the result left me completely stunned, feeling as if I had jumped from a mountain of knives into a pit of fire.
Outside the valley... an army of over ten thousand elves stood in neat rows, fully armed, their banners fluttering, staring at me with disbelief at how a human and a dwarf could have sped out on a sled.
"Who...who are you? What are you doing here?"
In this situation, asking this question is the most common and normal thing to do. I was very disappointed by my high profile. Just as someone in the elf army asked in surprise, another shout rang out.
"He...this person is John Farrell!"
With this shout, the more than 10,000 elf soldiers immediately became noisy, but I noticed a small squad in their ranks, all dressed in red, which looked very conspicuous.
(…Very well, now I know what's going on…Those who should have gone in didn't, and we're in the wrong place…What else can I say besides 'bad luck'?)
The elf army advanced step by step amidst angry shouts. Just as I was feeling a headache coming on, a sudden gust of wind arose behind me, the earth shook, and countless rocks collapsed and crashed down. In this terrifying, apocalyptic scene, twelve dragon spirits flew out of the collapsing valley, roaring deafeningly. Upon hearing this roar, all the horses in the elf army were terrified and their formation was thrown into chaos.
In this chaos, another, even more peculiar sight attracted everyone's attention.
Following closely behind the twelve dragon spirits, a strange team emerged from the valley. The two women leading them, one in blue and one in black, possessed an inviolable aura that even the dragon spirits feared. Behind them was a berserk force clad in blood-stained clothing, wielding chainsaws, electric axes, and hand cannons—a somewhat comical sight, but their bloodthirsty, maddening ferocity was unmatched.
...On this day, a legend was born.
◆ Episode Seven: The Sanlu Crisis. The Loess
Plateau, where the Horn of Heaven lies hidden, is essentially a world of survival of the fittest and might makes right. While there are many self-proclaimed chivalrous organizations, those who truly act selflessly, regardless of personal gain or moral boundaries, to fight for justice and help the weak are far fewer, practically as rare as phoenix feathers.
However, in this era of rampant evil and cold-heartedness, occasionally, some truly moving events occur—these are called miracles.
On this day, a group of chivalrous individuals clad in red appeared and disappeared across the land in just a few hours, rescuing infants in distress in various places. They sacrificed their lives, shedding blood and blood, their unparalleled bravery like a ray of dawn piercing the darkness, leaving a deep impression on countless villains and evildoers.
The legend of the Bloodstained Chainsaw Squad was born on this day. Although it was short-lived, for Solancia on that day, the legend had only just begun…
…Bai Laden, *My Pure Travels in Solancia*.
Solancia was a powerful and influential nation, its strength undeniable. However, in terms of settlement patterns, the elves differed from humans. They did not form cities, but instead lived in vast forests.
Human cities were called "City" or "Town," but the elves revered nature and loved being close to the wilderness. Their dwellings were all forests, like Solancia's capital, "Wal," which should more accurately be called "Wal Forest."
Living in a natural environment best cultivates an sensitivity to magic, a unique advantage elves possess in using spells. However, an overly natural environment can also pose a threat. Powerful demons and monsters easily spawn around the forests inhabited by elves, occupying advantageous positions and frequently attacking them.
For centuries, this has been a major concern for the elves. Since the founding of Solancia, less than half of the times the military has waged war against neighboring humans; the other half have been attacks on demon lairs and monster lairs surrounding the forests. As the combat skills, magic, and weaponry of the elves continued to improve and strengthen, more than 70% of the demon-slaying battles ended in victory. However, a few demon caves were difficult to conquer, and over time, they turned into forbidden lands in the human world where demons roamed freely.
On this day, Solancia organized a force to attack a valley of Nether Dragon Corpses within its territory. Since the chances of success in a direct attack were not high, a suicide squad was specially organized as bait. They poured the blood of cattle and sheep on themselves, hoping to lure out the dragon spirits entrenched in the valley and kill them outside. However, the situation suddenly changed. Just as the army was about to launch the attack, a human and a dwarf suddenly ran out of the valley. Then, more than ten dragon spirits roared and rushed out, and a human army covered in blood also charged out.
The phrase "chaos reigns supreme" perfectly describes the current situation. Although the elf army was there to deal with the monsters in the valley, and was fully prepared with various magical weapons and anti-magic artifacts to avoid being caught off guard, the overwhelming and terrifying sight of more than ten dragon spirits charging out still threw most of them into a panic, taking a long time to recover.
Under such circumstances, without the assistance of the human army, the elves would have suffered heavy losses, because the dragon spirits launched a fierce attack on the elf army as soon as they emerged from the valley, instantly causing significant casualties.
Dragon spirits are not just giant, living dragon skeletons; not every undead monster can use magic. Dragon spirits, supreme evil beings, are recognized as the kings of undead monsters because they possess both immense strength and boundless magic. Not only can they wield immense force, but they can also use advanced magic, making them incredibly difficult to deal with.
The most efficient way to destroy a dragon spirit is to use light magic to purify and annihilate it—the direct approach to dealing with undead evil beings. Alternatively, one could use the opposite approach, fighting poison with poison, employing insidious techniques from dark magic to corrode and devour the dragon spirit—that would also be a brilliant method.
However, these two obvious methods are extremely difficult for spirits to achieve. Elves excel at elemental magic, with water, fire, earth, and wind being their forte. Wind magic, in particular, is highly valued, and powerful wind mages are almost always elves. However, light and darkness are not as direct as the four natural elements, making them less effective for elves to learn.
This results in very few light or dark magic users among the elves. In actual combat, when elves encounter undead monsters, purifying or devouring them is impossible. They can only use water, fire, earth, and wind to attack head-on, without any strategy of exploiting weaknesses or finding openings. This makes the fight far more costly and extremely difficult.
To improve this predicament, after humanity and the elves ceased hostilities and forged a peace treaty in recent years, the elves sent a large number of their best talents to study in the Golden Flower Federation, ostensibly to learn human culture, but their main purpose was to cultivate light magic at the Cihang Temple. Over time, I believe this has had some effect, but judging from today's battle, the effect is probably limited.
In the elf camp, I saw several enormous objects that looked like catapults. Seeing these things startled me; I was somewhat surprised that the elves were using such advanced weaponry. These wind-powered vehicles were activated by high-purity magic crystals, hurling concentrated wind elements that instantly transformed into tornadoes upon landing, swirling and destroying objects, possessing the power of mid-level, and even high-level, magic.
I also saw an elf dressed in a high-ranking military officer's uniform, one hand on the ground, chanting incantations. The ground instantly split open, and earth and stone coalesced into a sword, thrusting upwards. More than twenty elf mages assisted him from behind, transforming the earth and stone into a ten-foot-long giant sword, imbued with the energy of the earth, slashing
towards the dragon spirit in the air. Both of these moves were considered very powerful tactics for defeating the enemy, but the dragon spirits, facing the raging whirlwind, completely disregarded it, letting the tornado sweep past. They swung their massive, heavy bodies within the whirlwind's range, cutting and dissipating the whirlwind.
Seeing the earthen sword imbued with the energy of the earth approaching, the dragon spirits showed slight apprehension. Instead of directly confronting it with their skeletal bodies, they roared, causing the clouds to surge like a tide. A bolt of lightning struck down, instantly cracking the earthen sword. A final blow from the dragon spirit's bony tail shattered it, achieving nothing in the fight against the demon.
Thus, the dragon spirits rampaged through Solancia's army. All attacks were child's play; their casual movements caused massive casualties among the spirits below. In truth, the spirits had come prepared, armed with all sorts of heavy weapons, so there was no reason for such a fierce battle. However, a major problem arose: the dragon spirits were too numerous.
Judging from the size of this force, the elves were probably only preparing to deal with two or three dragon spirits. If it were a matter of dealing with that number of dragon spirits, the elves' combat strength would be more than enough to surround them and defeat them head-on using their numerical and weaponry advantages. But... actually, even I myself have never heard of any valley inhabited by more than a dozen dragon spirits. Such an unrealistic number is like winning the lottery if you encounter it.
If the fighting continues like this, the phrase "total annihilation" will inevitably come true sooner or later. Although it won't do me any harm, the current situation is chaotic. I'm driving a wooden sled, with Lindsay in tow, weaving through thousands of troops, and I also have to be careful not to become the dragon spirit's target. It's a perilous situation, and I don't know how to escape to a distant place.
Fortunately, my so-called comrades also joined the battle at this time. Although their numbers are small, their fighting spirit is extremely astonishing. While Leng Linglan, wielding her domineering aura, was certainly a focal point, the Bai family members dressed in red were not to be underestimated either. The chainsaws and light axes in their hands were imbued with some kind of evil spell, emitting a chilling black aura. Their lethality was not increased, but they were given attribute-specific abilities.
When these chainsaws and lightsabers struck the dragon spirit's skeleton, cracks immediately appeared in the bones, emitting black smoke, indicating severe damage.
In terms of weapon size alone, these chainsaws and lightsabers were naturally no match for the Wind-Screaming Train or the Earth and Stone Greatsword. However, while these so-called heavy weapons could not harm the dragon spirit, the chainsaws and lightsabers could. This was not only due to the targeted elemental damage, but also because the evil curses imbued on the weapons were indeed powerful, resulting in such astonishing results.
The fighting spirit of the Bai family members was also astonishing. After many fierce battles, they should have been exhausted long ago, but now they were full of energy, wielding heavy weapons with ease, leaping up and down, and jointly injuring the dragon spirit. Their courageous and valiant posture even made me suspect that they had been enchanted with a berserk spell. Otherwise, how could flesh and blood bodies be so fierce and persistent in their attacks?
Thanks to the bravery and skill of the Bai family members, the dragon spirit suffered some damage. Especially when Leng Linglan used her seventh-level power to unleash the Overlord's Frenzy Slash, and the Bai family members also assisted, even the mighty dragon spirit could not withstand it. Unfortunately, no matter how skilled they were in battle, they couldn't overcome the disadvantage of having too few people. While they did have an impact on the battle, it wasn't enough. After several fierce dragon roars, the Bai family's siege formation was broken, and the dragon spirits that broke through were filled with rage and were about to launch a second wave of fierce attacks on the spirits.
(This is really bad. I'd better get out of here quickly. If I stay any longer, who knows what will happen... Damn it, how does that witch Hua Gengsha use magic to start the wooden sled? How come she teleports as soon as she starts it, but I get stuck here?)
I was getting angry when suddenly, my whole body jolted, and all I could hear was silence... This was the most direct feeling, but actually... I must have heard some kind of sound, a sound that was too loud, or perhaps contained powerful energy. Because of the impact of this energy, I clearly heard it, but because I lost my hearing, it was as if I hadn't heard anything.
In the silent world, I couldn't hear anything, but the strong shockwaves I felt on my skin made me aware that a strong wind was blowing around me.
This gust of wind was strange. Although it was strong, making people sway and almost fall, there was no flying sand or stones on the ground. It was just a strong wind swirling in the atmosphere, growing stronger with each gust.
Suddenly, a powerful magical fluctuation startled me. Connecting the strong wind with the loss of hearing, I immediately guessed that someone was using high-level magic or activating a high-level artifact.
The surging sound, the rising strong wind... this must be a demonic spell or artifact of the Qu school. I looked up at the sky and saw the strong wind blowing in mid-air, forming a large-scale ripple-like wave that attacked the dragon spirit horde.
The ripples stirred by the wind, seemingly gentle yet swift, quickly closed in on the dozen or so dragon spirits, forming an encirclement. The dragon spirits appeared quite afraid of the gale, unwilling to fight back, and began to turn and flee.
The power of this gale might not have been very strong, certainly not stronger than the armored weapons of the elf army; it was just that the gale contained something that the dragon spirits loathed, perhaps even feared, which made them unwilling to fight, preferring to abandon the flesh and blood, the living beings on this ground, and turn back to the valley.
Looking up, I found the source of the strong wind. It was a snow-white horn, shaped like ivory, with strange patterns on it that shimmered as it was played. Each blast was a burst of brilliant light, so dazzling that it was hard to look directly at it.
A horn that could release such powerful energy, commanding the wind elements in the surrounding space to rise up and form a wind barrier that blocked the path of more than ten dragon spirits, forcing them back to the valley—such power was truly rare… In my memory, there seemed to be an artifact that met these criteria, one of the Seven Sacred Artifacts of Creation…
However, at this moment, more concerned than what kind of artifact the horn was, I was more interested in another question: the user of this horn.
No matter how powerful an artifact is, without an excellent user to wield it, it's merely a waste of its potential, unable to unleash its full power. If this horn is truly one of the Creation Artifacts, to fully unleash its power, the user must possess at least a seventh-level cultivation, perhaps even an eighth-level, to wield it smoothly. In other words, this person must be a top expert in Solancia, a formidable enemy of mine.
The intense light emitted by the horn was so blinding that I couldn't see the figure behind it at first. But as my eyes gradually adjusted, I finally saw clearly that it was a young elf, around twenty years old, with a human-like appearance. He was handsome and radiant, his white robe billowing in the wind, exuding an indescribable charm. Although elves are known for their good looks, such handsomeness was truly rare. Even I had to secretly admire him.
(Strange... how could there be such a person in Solancia? I haven't heard a word about him. It seems even Leng Linglan doesn't know...)
I shook my head, clearing my mind of distractions, and focused my attention solely on the scene above.
It must be admitted that the scene before them was incredibly moving. Seeing such a handsome young man, floating under the bright sun, arms outstretched, sunlight streaming down from behind him, was like seeing a god descend to earth. No wonder the lucky elves who had survived threw down their weapons and knelt in worship.
The young man in mid-air put away his horn, the sunlight gazing intently at the retreating dragon spirits. As the last dragon spirit disappeared, he moved swiftly, descending from the sky at high speed, as if rushing to catch something, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
Although the time was very short, I still saw that the elven youth landed in a tent far behind the army. In other words, this person came with the army and should be the main force in this battle. In the original tactical plan, the army was probably just a bait and support to lure out the dragon spirit, surround it, and then kill it.
(Strange, if that's the case, why didn't he intervene? He only drove the dragon spirit away. Is it because the whole situation is out of control? Or is it because of our appearance?)
I was puzzled, and several thoughts flashed through my mind. At this moment... the elf soldiers kneeling on the ground slowly regained their senses and stood up, seemingly about to surround me. Seeing that the situation was not good, although I couldn't activate my wooden sled ability, I could still drive the deer away. I quickly pulled the reins and drove the deer, trying to break through the encirclement.
To my surprise, the goods gifted by the unscrupulous merchant were indeed flawed. After more than a hundred spatial transfers, the reindeer pulling the sled, which had become one of the energy sources, were already exhausted. When I drove them away, they let out a long, mournful cry and burst into flames before my eyes, turning into three fireballs and dying instantly.
"Damn it, the props sponsored by Bin Laden are really terrible. These three deer... three deer are of such poor quality. Next time, we should increase the number to nine deer. More deer will make things easier."
I was both anxious and angry. I pulled Lindsay off the sled, trying to escape before being surrounded by the army. As long as we could reunite with Leng Linglan and the others, there would be no safety issues. However, I was indeed a step too late. I had barely jumped off the sled and taken a few steps when all my paths forward and backward were blocked. Hundreds of elf soldiers surrounded me.
The Farrells and the elves had a deep-seated hatred for each other, and these soldiers looked at me as if I were their father's killer. Their murderous aura was palpable, and not only could I sense it, but even Lindsay beside me was affected. She gripped my clothes tightly, her face filled with fear, yet she bit her lip hard, afraid to make a sound for fear of disturbing me.
I drew Hyakkimaru, brandishing my sword. A dazzling red light, like fire, shone brightly, intimidating the surrounding spirit soldiers, who dared not advance too far. I appeared imposing, but inwardly I knew things were bad. These spirit soldiers were too close, and there were too many of them. No matter what I attacked, before it even had a chance to have any effect, I would be wiped out by the combined attack from all sides.
The only way was to buy time and wait for reinforcements, but I seriously doubted the feasibility of this plan…
"Stop! All of you, back off!"
The timely arrival of reinforcements saved me from the crisis, but they were not the people I expected. The ones who rushed in and stopped the soldiers were several elf officers dressed in high-ranking uniforms. Seeing that I was unharmed, they actually showed expressions of relief.
"Make way! The High Priest has ordered us to ensure the safety of our distinguished guest and protect our nation's guest as soon as possible."
This astonishing statement left even me bewildered. I couldn't figure out who this so-called distinguished guest was, and why the term "national guest" was used. However, the elf soldiers present didn't seem to find this strange. They looked at me with hostility, but automatically made way for me, even lining up on both sides, as if to escort me forward.
It was only then that I realized I was the honored guest they were looking for. This was truly bizarre. From any perspective, Solancia had no reason to be friendly to me, let alone treat me as an honored guest. If they were escorting me somewhere, I guessed it would be to behead me… or skin me alive.
Recalling what Hua Gengsha had said not long ago—that Solancia was looking for me—I hadn't thought much of it then, but now it seemed suspicious. Could it be… that Solancia was in some trouble and needed my help, hence the welcoming of me as an honored guest? But I didn't possess any special talents. What could they possibly want from me?
While I was lost in thought, I suddenly remembered them mentioning the term "High Priest." High Priest Bernanke of Solancia is a pleasure-seeking, mediocre man. It would be easy for me to become his drinking buddy, but I don't know him yet, so why is he treating me like an honored guest?
"Huh?"
After walking a few steps, I realized the officers leading the way were taking me to the tent at the very back of the army—the place where the mysterious young man had disappeared. Meeting such a powerful expert filled me with trepidation. Having a few skilled companions would have made things easier, but all our potential reinforcements were still some distance away, and it seemed unlikely they would suddenly appear.
Deliberately stalling for time, I also looked for an opportunity to break out, but having a burden by my side made this idea impractical. Besides that… I also considered pushing Lindsay out as a sacrifice to confuse the enemy and allow myself to escape, but the elf soldiers were highly vigilant, and this unjust idea would most likely fail, so
I had to keep quiet and play the good guy. With only a few dozen steps left to the large tent, before I could come up with a good escape plan, the tent suddenly opened, and a tall figure strode out.
The old man who emerged from the tent was very tall, nearly two meters tall, wearing a golden crown, a white robe, and a long white beard. At first glance, he resembled a towering ancient tree, exuding a tremendous presence.
Elven lifespans are longer than human lifespans, so to look this old, he must be over six hundred years old. Although this old man was very old, he was in excellent physical condition. Underneath his white robe, one could see his muscular build, the physique of a strongman capable of drawing a powerful bow and shooting a hard arrow. His face was kind and gentle, making him a very handsome old man who commanded respect at first glance.
"John... John Farrell... Is it really John Farrell?"
The old elf man was extremely agitated upon seeing me, and his words became slurred. Just as I sensed something was wrong, a deafening shout suddenly rang out.
"Idol! I've finally seen you!"
I've encountered many people who yell and curse at me upon seeing me, some even pulling out knives to slash at me, but I've never heard anyone shout with such excitement before, especially a man shouting excitedly, which instantly sent a chill down my spine.
Seeing the old elf striding towards me, my first reaction was to kick him, but hearing the exclamations of the people nearby calling him "High Priest," I couldn't help but be startled.
(This messy old man is actually High Priest Bernanke of Solancia?)
It's unbelievable to think about, but... the head of the Cihang Jingdian, the number one expert, is also a mess, even utterly incompetent. Thinking about it that way, it's not so strange that high-ranking people are a mess.
Things happened so suddenly that my kick didn't go out. Bernanke rushed over first, and naturally, I was tackled to the ground.
Being tackled by a man feels awful. Even being tackled by Lindsay wouldn't feel as bad, especially this high priest who keeps calling me his idol. He seems to have some special feelings for me. After tackling me, he held me tightly. He's so strong, I couldn't shake him off no matter how hard I struggled. I was completely helpless.
"C-let's talk this out. This isn't the Plantagenet Federation, please don't do that... I don't want to become the first perverted human in elf history to have a homosexual relationship with an elf!"
"Homosexual relationship? What's that? I don't really understand..."
"You old fool, stop spouting nonsense and groping me... You standing there, don't just watch, hurry up and help!"
The elves couldn't help me, but they seemed to find the scene unsightly. After a brief hesitation, they came over and pulled the high priest away from me. Bernanke seemed to have calmed down a bit, coughed twice, and said seriously, "General Farrell, I am Bernanke Z. Ruman, the high priest of Solancia. It's a pleasure to see you here. Before, I and..." His Majesty the King has been looking for you for some time… hoping to have a proper talk with you. We have many things we would like to cooperate with you on, your safety will be guaranteed, and I believe you will be interested in these cooperative proposals.”
It sounded like a good start. Although I had my doubts about the veracity of these promises, I had no other choice at the moment. I accepted the invitation and went with him to the tent to discuss the details. At the same time, I ordered both sides in the melee to temporarily cease fighting.
Bernanke was very friendly to me, but ignored Lindsay. He explained to us that Solancia had mobilized troops to conquer this valley, exterminate the evil spirits within, and clear potential dangers from the nearby forests. However, the mission had not gone well; the evil spirits were stronger than expected, and the dragon spirit alone had caught the elves off guard. This battle was destined to be a failure.
"Hahaha, but the god of fate always brings surprises. Meeting you here is more meaningful than conquering this place..."
I felt that Bernanke's words were very problematic. In an ordinary military operation, it would not be necessary to deploy a high priest like him, as well as the mysterious strongman who just made a move. If he had been the commander from the beginning, with the army assisting, relying solely on the divine power of his horn, although it could not be said that victory was guaranteed, it would definitely have dealt a heavy blow to the dragon spirit, and the army would not have suffered serious losses. Therefore... there must be something else going on with this military operation.
"...By the way, High Priest, I'd like to ask you first, who was that who sounded the horn just now...?"
"Oh, that was..."
Bernanke chuckled, about to answer, when suddenly an elf officer appeared beside him, nervously reporting that Prince Lehman, unable to wait any longer and not wanting to see any unauthorized personnel, had already left the tent and specifically sent someone to bid farewell to the High Priest.
(...So it was Prince Lehman. No wonder he has such power. Judging from the abilities he just displayed, this Lehman is much stronger than Lunfer. His past obscurity was likely a ruse...)
My heart skipped a beat. I realized that Bernanke and Lehman might have been supervising the army together in the tent just now. Seeing that the situation was not good, Lehman used the horn to repel the enemy and stabilize the army's defeat.
Prince Lehman is Lunfiel's younger brother and political rival, and currently a powerful figure in control of the military and political affairs of Solancia. His strength is unknown to most, as his reputation was previously obscure. It is extremely fortunate for me to witness this scene immediately upon entering Solancia and see Lehman's strength firsthand. Otherwise, I might have suffered a great loss in the future, because unless Lehman disregards the High Priest, he has never been "impatient to wait." The real reason he wanted to leave was because he did not want to see me, which means he harbored hostility towards me.
Encountering such a formidable enemy, being able to gather information ahead of time is truly my good fortune. However… the entire plan has now been disrupted. Originally, I wanted to infiltrate the Huaer Forest undetected. Even if I couldn't do it perfectly, I at least didn't want to cause a huge commotion, like now, where everyone knows we're here and we're surrounded by a large army. This is… truly ridiculous.
◆ Episode 8: A Gift from Heaven - The Peerless Beauty
Before I entered the tent, my companions and allies had already regrouped. The Bai family disciples all looked exhausted. I really wanted to ask them why they fought so desperately, but now wasn't a good time for conversation.
I entrusted Lindsay to Hua Gengsha and Leng Linglan. Both of them had emerged unscathed from the battle, completely unharmed. When they heard I was going to negotiate with the High Priest, they both looked utterly bewildered.
"What do you have to talk to the High Priest about? Are you even that close?"
"Who knows? I only met him today, but that pretentious devil said I'm his idol and wants me to show him proper hospitality. I don't know what he's up to, but even if the High Priest of a nation wants to use diplomacy before resorting to force, shouldn't he at least be a little more humble?" Since
I didn't understand it myself, Hua Gengsha couldn't give me an answer either. I handed Lindsay over to her and then winked at Leng Linglan behind me.
Leng Linglan originally wanted to enter the tent with me to hear what these elves were up to, but I refused her request. I asked her to stay outside and, if there was any commotion inside, to immediately rush in with the others.
After arranging everything, I entered the tent and met with Bernanke. As soon as the high priest saw me, he excitedly grabbed my hand and shook it vigorously, saying that I was an extraordinary man, unparalleled in heaven and earth. He had heard many of my legendary stories and was extremely envious of my various experiences.
"Excuse me, High Priest, please forgive me for interrupting, but... I really want to ask, what exactly do you envy about me? I feel... I'm constantly fighting for my life outside, with my life in danger every second. How can that compare to you being worshipped by thousands in Solancia, second only to the king?"
"Hehe, brother... uh, is it okay to call me that? It sounds more intimate. Although I'm a bit older than you, I like to befriend young people like you the most... Hmm, brother, you're a young hero, roaming freely across the land. How could someone like you understand our feelings and sorrows?"
This high priest was indeed a very江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry) type. As he talked to me, he smoked a cigar, constantly waving his free hand, looking every bit like a jianghu boss. However... it was the rather vulgar and tasteless kind, because as he spoke, the thick gold necklace around his neck and the gold ring on his hand were dazzlingly bright.
"Brother, let me ask you, who is the most beautiful woman on earth today?"
"Well... as far as I know, it's hard to say who the most beautiful woman is, but the most beautiful group of women... are the Four Heavenly Maidens and the Seven Beauties."
"Yes, these ten beauties... how many of them have you gotten your hands on, brother?"
I didn't answer the sudden question, just wanted to see how much information the other person had.
"Phoenix Celestial Maiden has been missing for over ten years, and Tianhe Xueqiong of Cihang Jingdian is away studying abroad. Putting that aside, Lengyue Ying of the Golden Flower Federation has an ambiguous relationship with you. This is the dream of every man on earth. What's even more remarkable is that you've even slept with that arrogant Dragon Maiden Li Huamei. Half of the Four Celestial Maidens have been taken into your harem. Doesn't that make me drool with envy?"
I listened quietly to the High Priest's words, listening to him talk about his lust for Neon, Evil Lotus, and even Narcissus. Only then did I realize that my bad reputation on earth, besides being regarded as a conspirator of the Black Dragon Society, also stemmed from rumors that there was a 90% chance that I had slept with any woman who had fought with me or been close to me.
This isn't entirely due to my personal misdeeds, but mainly due to the reputation passed down through generations of the Farrell family. Since my grandfather's time, regardless of friend or foe, young or old, any woman who came into contact with a male member of the Farrell family would end up in bed with me, even becoming pregnant and giving birth. This was horrifying at the time, but it's true.
My situation is similar now. Aside from the women close to me, even my former enemies—Xie Lian, Narcissus, and Bianca—even if I haven't personally ejaculated inside them without a condom, have had relationships with me involving things like facial ejaculation and oral sex. To say that my relationships with them are impure wouldn't be wrong; I certainly haven't disgraced the Farrell family's name.
"Brother, I'm not putting on airs in front of you. I'm the High Priest of Solancia, and I usually travel with His Majesty the King. To say I lack women is a ridiculous joke. But... elves have long lifespans, hundreds of years. I've had my fill of all kinds of women. I find ordinary, common women tiresome."
You can guess what he was about to say. Solancia is a country full of handsome men and beautiful women. The "common women" in the High Priest's eyes are likely stunning beauties from the underground slave market. When you've played with women to this extent and in such large numbers, beauty has become an essential standard. They care more about the added value of a beautiful woman.
There's a thrill in raping the relatives of one's enemies; there's an unexpected excitement in having sex with the wives or sisters of one's disciples; and there's unparalleled pleasure in "executing" a female assassin who comes to kill. But in this high priest's view, what excites and pleases him most is toying with successful women, or to put it bluntly, having sex with famous women.
Ordinary people like us might at most have sex with famous courtesans or a few female generals or knights, which would be considered a great achievement. But in the eyes of High Priest Bernanke, princesses and noblewomen are probably beneath his notice. Only world-renowned beauties would arouse his desire and become his targets.
Some laymen who don't understand the situation might think that getting involved with these women is easy, especially given the power of the High Priest of Solancia. He could easily use the power of the state to abus his power and rape any famous woman he wants. However, it is precisely because he is the High Priest of Solancia that things become difficult.
There are no secrets that stay hidden forever. No matter how secretive the conspiracy, the truth cannot be concealed forever. Whether it's the Four Heavenly Maidens or the Seven Beauties, they all have powerful backers. Moon Sakura, Heavenly River Snow Jade, and Neon have the support of the Cihang Jingdian Palace; Leng Linglan and Naxishas are political figures in their respective countries; and Ghostly Evening and Drunken Immortal Poppy are backed by the Black Dragon Society. If these women were to be targeted through underhanded means, it could easily escalate into an international issue, potentially triggering a world war.
Li Huamei and Evil Lotus, one a peerless martial artist and the other elusive, are also formidable opponents. It's not surprising, really. If these ten beauties were so easy to get, they would have been turned into ten sluts long ago, and wouldn't be called the Ten Beauties. They're still like carrots hanging in front of mules, tempting people to drool. In terms of looks, these ten women may not be the most beautiful. It's just that other women who might be more beautiful have long been taken by men, so it's the turn of these ten most difficult beauties to get their way to become famous.
The high priest addressed me as if I were meeting an old friend, speaking and urging me to drink. The fine wine on the table was a specialty of Solancia, mellow and refreshing. Just smelling it, I knew it was a first-class product. But in this situation where friend and foe were unclear, I didn't dare to actually drink it. I just tried my best to laugh and wait for the other party to reveal his true intentions.
"Brother, His Majesty the King and I are truly envious of you. You can have any beauty you want, and add whichever one to your harem. You live a life of pleasure and luxury. If we could be in your shoes, we'd gladly give up our current positions."
Heh, you guys really have it easy talking when you're not in my shoes. I don't think I'm that enviable at all. If it were up to me, I'd rather be the King of Solancia or the High Priest. At least I'd wake up every day to beautiful women automatically delivered to my door, instead of risking my life for women.
"Our country is holding its Tenth Anniversary Celebration this time, and we're going to award prizes to the Ten Greatest Villains. You are the number one villain on earth today. Wouldn't it be a huge loss if you weren't present at the awards ceremony? So we had to invite you no matter what, but you're always on the move, and it's really not easy to find you. Luckily, you suddenly appeared here, truly..."
The number one villain? I felt deeply that this country was utterly boring. I have no problem with treating me as a villain; after all, no one has ever considered me a good person. But to select villains and then award them prizes—I don't know how to judge this behavior. These guys probably have nothing better to do than play with people.
"High Priest..."
"Don't be so formal. As I just said, just call me brother. I don't consider you an outsider, hahaha!"
"Uh... Brother, it's an honor to participate in the celebration and to receive the award for one of the Ten Great Villains. I've had my fill of fun. But I actually came to Solancia this time because I have something to take care of. I wonder if I could ask you for a favor?"
I tried to take the lead in the conversation, and the High Priest seemed very cooperative. He patted his chest and assured me that he had a lot of influence in Solancia and there was nothing he couldn't do. As long as I asked for it, he would definitely be able to do it.
"Hey, it's not that complicated. I came to Solancia this time to find some of my companions. I'd like to ask you for help in finding them."
It's not convenient to mention the mission related to the Doomsday Dragon right now. I'll ask the High Priest to help me find Xue and the others first. Yu Ni and Violet are not hard to find, but when I mentioned that Xue was taken away by a mysterious elf army, the High Priest's old face showed a troubled expression.
"This... it's related to military affairs, which I can't really handle, brother. Previously, Lunfer held all the power, but after that traitor's coup failed and he fled, all military affairs fell into Prince Lehman's hands. Although I have some influence with him, if it involves major secrets, I'm not absolutely certain... this..."
The High Priest looked embarrassed. Perhaps he genuinely couldn't help, or perhaps he was deliberately stalling. I decided to probe further, so I explained that I'd roamed the world, seducing every woman I encountered, leaving them utterly captivated. I claimed there were indeed unique secrets to this, and if we were good friends, I'd be interested in exchanging these secrets.
Hearing this, the High Priest's eyes lit up; I'd piqued his interest. After some rambling and evasive talk, he revealed his true thoughts.
"Brother, I heard... that you were very active in the chaos in Ishtar not long ago, helping the orcs to make Ishtar suffer a great loss. Is that true?"
"That's true. You wouldn't be standing up for Ishtar, would you?"
"Of course not. What do I have to do with those evil people in Ishtar? But... according to the intelligence we've obtained, you're actually the successor of the great sorcerer Famit Xiu Kamu, and you're proficient in his erotic magic. Is that true?"
Ever since the battle of Baghdad, when Famit personally appeared, I knew this secret could no longer be kept. People coveting erotic magic would come knocking on our door one after another. Bin Laden was one such person, and now Solancia has also set his sights on erotic magic. After all, besides the erotic magic itself, the invincible secrets of Dark Summoning Beasts are also treasures that can arouse people's ambitions. As a successor of this magic, I am guilty of possessing such a treasure and cannot remain uninvolved.
I myself only have a partial understanding of the secrets of Dark Summoning Beasts, but the issue of erotic magic is simple. I have already made plans. As long as any troublesome person asks me for erotic magic, I will not resist and will reveal everything. I might even go to extremes and make hundreds or thousands of copies of the erotic magic book and distribute them to everyone I meet. Let's see who will still come to me asking for the book then?
(I've already copied one copy of the erotic magic and given it to Bin Laden, so giving away another copy won't hurt. As long as I can practice it, that's fine. There's no benefit in monopolizing it for me, so let others worry about it...)
This was a question I had already thought of, so there was no need to consider it further. I told the High Priest that the erotic magic was too profound for me to use, and I had long been willing to share it with the wise people of the world. However, such a valuable thing cannot be shared for nothing. If there could be a suitable reward, then...
My words were quite blunt, and the High Priest's eyes widened immediately, but his reaction was beyond my expectations.
"A lewd magic book? No, no, no, that's your most treasured possession, brother. What use would I have for it? As for any dark summoning beasts, don't even mention it. We Solancia don't deal in anything dark. If people knew I was researching dark summoning beasts, it would be a huge scandal..."
The high priest waved his hands repeatedly, dismissing my proposal completely. This left me stunned, unable to understand what he was up to, or perhaps his appetite was too big, and he was just putting on airs.
"Sigh, brother, you've really misunderstood. Do you think I'm the kind of person who would covet your divine skills and treasures?"
"Isn't that right?"
"Of course not. If I were interested in that kind of thing, I would have become one of the five strongest beings hundreds of years ago. How could I just be a high priest of a country? My interest in erotic magic mainly lies in some of the magical prescriptions and techniques to enhance erotic pleasure... It's a bit embarrassing to say, although elves have long lifespans, they still have their problems. His Majesty the King and I are not young anymore, and at this age, it's inevitable that we're not as capable as we used to be. Ancient books say that there are some unique secrets in erotic magic that can help us regain our virility. Hehe... You know what I mean, brother."
Oh, I see. This price is really cheap. Just a few jars of aphrodisiacs and a few sets of aphrodisiac techniques are enough to make this exchange. It's really a good deal for me.
"Brother, are you unmoved by my suggestion? Well then... according to our country's intelligence, your arrival in Solancia... seems to be related to that war dragon?"
Huh? Impossible! The existence and construction of the Doomsday War Dragon are related to the fate of Solancia. Such an important thing, can it really be settled with a few jars of aphrodisiacs and a few sets of aphrodisiac techniques? The King and High Priest of Solancia are not that incompetent, are they?
"Hehehe, the Doomsday Dragon Osiris is of paramount importance; its existence affects our nation's destiny. How could we be so careless as to give you a few bottles of aphrodisiacs and a few sets of aphrodisiac techniques, only to have all our secrets revealed to you?"
The High Priest stroked his white beard, nodding and laughing. "However... if it were dozens of bottles of aphrodisiacs, plus dozens of sets of aphrodisiac techniques, such tempting conditions... I think even if we have the strongest willpower, we wouldn't be able to resist such sweet temptations."
One sentence stunned me again. Solancia's national secrets, which had cost years of effort and manpower, had been betrayed in such a chaotic situation? If betraying national interests is a crime, this high priest should be executed immediately. And… I suddenly feel sorry for Lunfer. If he knew what was happening here, he'd probably want to die. If only… he wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to stage a coup.
As the ancients said, the best negotiation and bargaining tactic is to remain expressionless and indifferent; the enemy will defeat themselves. Perhaps because I was too lost in thought, the high priest thought I was unmoved and actually raised the stakes, offering more favorable terms.
"Brother, if all this isn't enough to sway you, then to show His Majesty and my sincerity, there's a generous gift you must accept. I know you're used to beauties from all nations and races, but you've definitely never encountered the stunning beauties of Solancia. Today, let me show you the allure of my elven race's beauties."
The High Priest spoke with arrogance, actually trying to entice me with his looks. Although the occasion was inappropriate, I was genuinely excited when he clapped his hands, wondering what kind of beauty it would be.
(This was an unexpected encounter; he couldn't possibly have specially prepared a woman for me. This must be his private concubine, probably of high quality, but... to introduce a beauty to me on our first meeting—is he a High Priest or a pimp?)
A secret sense of anticipation stirred within me when I suddenly sensed a commotion outside. It was likely that Leng Linglan and the others, having been waiting for news of me for so long, were itching to break in. If they got in, my fun would be ruined, so I quickly called out to stop them, warning them not to make any rash moves.
A brief pause followed, and the back of the tent was suddenly opened. I looked up and saw a radiantly beautiful woman with delicate features, a slender figure, and smooth skin that appeared exceptionally delicate under the lamplight. She was walking towards me with an elegant yet beautiful demeanor.
Her pointed ears revealed her race and identity. This elven woman, with her captivating beauty, was not a young girl, but a mature and beautiful woman, which truly amazed me. In my experience, the younger the female elf, the more pure and natural she appears. But this beautiful elven woman showed me a different kind of charm. The
beautiful elven woman wore a white robe with a low slit, her hair was piled high on her head, and she wore light makeup. She was the kind of beauty with great charm, especially her pair of bright, sparkling eyes, which always seemed to be about to drip water. She smiled slightly at me, and I realized that she was not only beautiful, but also had a graceful demeanor.
"Uh... I haven't asked yet?" I turned around and found that the High Priest had quietly left sometime earlier, leaving only me and this beautiful woman in the tent.
"Demees."
"Oh, a very sexy name, but..."
"Please don't say anything. Although I have never left Solancia, I have heard of the General's name and have long admired him. If you need anything, just tell me."
Demees walked behind me and gently hugged me. It was a dangerous position, but I felt a faint fragrance wafting over, and the mature female body pressed tightly against me, making it hard to refuse.
"General, don't rush, lie down first. I guarantee you won't even need to move, and you'll feel incredibly comfortable." Dai Meisi said, standing up and unbuttoning her white robe one button at a time, instantly exposing her smooth, snow-white skin to me.
I felt a wave of dizziness, and my penis swelled instantly. Dai Meisi gently pushed me down, took off my trousers, then slowly removed her own white robe, followed by her underwear. Completely naked, she knelt before me, opened her small mouth, and took my penis in.
"Mmm..." I felt a wave of intense pleasure wash over me, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"General, if you feel anything, don't hold back. Just let it out. There's plenty of time. I'll do it with you again later."
Judging by her appearance alone, it's hard to imagine that such a dignified and noble woman would be so dedicated to oral service. Demi-Mais lowered her head and focused on sucking for a quarter of an hour. Her technique was excellent, and she controlled the pressure just right. Every time I reacted and my penis tensed, she would notice and slow down the pace. Moreover, she not only targeted my penis and glans but also carefully licked my scrotum.
In that instant, I felt like I was receiving professional service in a brothel. I felt so comfortable that my vision went white, and my penis was swollen to the extreme, beginning to secrete a light, clear liquid.
"Mmm, ah..."
My flesh felt incredibly numb, and the next moment, a large amount of semen sprayed into Dai Meisi's small mouth. Dai Meisi didn't stop sucking until I ejaculated the last drop of semen before letting go. In front of me, she spat the semen into a silver wine glass. Although she didn't swallow it, watching such an elegant beauty catch the semen with her small mouth was still a very stimulating sight.
"Was it comfortable?" Dai Meisi's face was flushed, and she lay close to me.
I hadn't recovered yet, and was just stroking the beautiful woman's smooth skin.
Dai Meisi smiled charmingly, lowered her head, and took my chest into her mouth again, gently sucking. I immediately felt a sense of electric shock spread throughout my body, and the fleshy shaft that had just been fired began to expand again. Demes kept sucking until the penis was completely hard, then she got on top of me, aligned her pussy with my penis, and sat down.
The beautiful woman's flower valley is beautifully shaped, and her pink lips are glowing. All these make me excited again. Demeisi swallowed the meat shaft into the tight and smooth honey hole again and again. The layers of tender meat tightly wrapped the meat shaft, making it almost difficult for me to control myself.
I held the beautiful woman's slender waist with both hands, raised my penis, and fucked her white buttocks wantonly. Her snow-white buttocks were round and smooth, the plump flesh somewhat similar to Ah Xue's, but even softer, like a lump of white, oily fat, swaying with the in-and-out motion of the penis, creating waves of fleshy texture.
Dai Meisi frowned, her white teeth biting her red lips tightly, barely enduring my defilement. The penis seemed to be tearing her honey hole apart; with each insertion, the penis felt like a rough fist slamming into her flower core, leaving her body numb and sore.
Following our lovemaking, Dai Meisi seemed incredibly delicate, but no matter how hard I thrust, she endured it all, moaning with abandon, as if naturally alluring. Especially her lower body, gushing with lustful fluids, as if she'd taken some kind of aphrodisiac, reacted with increasing wildness and wantonness, truly astonishing me.
Soon, Dai Meisi's face flushed crimson, her hands gripping tightly, violently shaking her white, snowy buttocks, screaming and trembling violently, her vulva gushing forth streams of honeyed fluid.
"Is this really over? I haven't had my fill yet!"
I thrust my hips, not forgetting to give Dai Meisi's plump, white buttocks a couple of hard slaps. Compared to the girl's pinkish skin, Dai Meisi's skin was even more supple, white, and smooth, fragrant and glossy. Seeing that she had already reached an orgasm, I had a sudden thought and parted her plump, white, alabaster-like buttocks.
Dai Meisi's tender anus between her buttocks was large and soft, round in shape, and alluringly tender, like a delicate chrysanthemum bud, crimson and dripping with moisture. I raised my penis, which was covered in her nectar, and pressed it against her soft anus, slowly thrusting in.
Dai Meisi let out a soft, delicate breath, her tender anus pulsating slightly, swallowing my hot penis little by little. As the penis entered, her round, beautiful buttocks seemed to swell, the smooth, white flesh tightly enveloping the shaft like a lump of oil, leaving no gaps.
I whispered in the beautiful woman's ear, "Sure enough, someone has already 'exploited' you here. Was it His Highness the High Priest? Or His Majesty the King?"
"...The first time, it was His Majesty the King who opened it..."
The casual question unexpectedly yielded an answer, and I suddenly had a strange feeling. But before I could ask further, I saw Dai Meisi lower her head, her waist gently twisting, her smooth, snowy buttocks clamping the penis, her anus like a soft little mouth, gently swallowing and releasing the base of the penis.
I hadn't expected her to be so skilled in bed. No wonder she was the high priest's special concubine, a seductive beauty who used her looks to seduce me. I grasped Dai Meisi's slender waist, my penis thrusting in and out of her tight, warm anus.
Dai Meisi let out sweet moans, soft and seductive, alluring to the bone. As I thrust, I caressed her soft, jade-like body.
The unique allure of a mature woman was fully displayed on Dai Meisi. Her white body lay prone on the couch, her breasts drooping, her round, white buttocks raised high, her tender anus being opened by a young, energetic penis. She moaned softly, her fair body like a fragrant flower petal, exuding a sweet and rich aroma.
I was momentarily distracted, and my ejaculation was instantly released, a torrent of fluid flowing within this alluring creature. Dai Meisi tightened her full buttocks, wrapping her silky smooth flesh around my penis, gently rubbing it, making my ejaculation exceptionally pleasurable.
After the intense intercourse, I was briefly dazed, and when I came to my senses, I found myself awakened by Dai Meisi's kisses.
This time, Dai Meisi licked from my toes all over my body, even using her full breasts to clamp my penis, performing piston-like movements, until I once again ejaculated into her cleavage before stopping.
In a short period of time, she came three times. Although it was our first meeting, she had already done oral sex, breast sex, intercourse, and anal sex. I have to admire her. The beauty sent by the High Priest of Solancia is truly top-notch. She has managed to train such an elegant woman with the demeanor of a noblewoman into a two-faced slut with first-class bedroom skills, even more wanton than a prostitute.
"Demi, you performed admirably, but... you're not one of those courtesans kept to serve VIPs, are you?"
"Of course not. I don't have relations with just anyone, except His Majesty the King. You probably won't believe it, but I hold a title within the country."
"Oh? I didn't realize you were a countess or marquess? No wonder you're so beautiful..."
I stroked the beautiful woman's high breasts, looking at her seductive eyes, and a strange feeling suddenly arose within me.
Solancia is a country with rules and laws; even a king wouldn't arbitrarily bestow titles upon his concubines. In other words, this courtesan's background is likely quite extraordinary.
"Demees, you seem quite young. How come you've been granted a title? Are you from a prestigious family?"
"Not at all. I have several daughters, the youngest of whom is now a famous beauty in our country."
"Oh? What's her name? If she's truly a beauty, I'd certainly know."
"Bianca Sheen, have you heard of her?"
More than just heard of her, I instantly recalled Bianca's background and the rumors surrounding her mother.
Damn! Gifts falling from the sky shouldn't be accepted so easily… That group of Santa Clauses outside—no, they're the Bloodstained Chainsaw Brigade—I wonder if any of them could come in and collect my gifts?
