【Alibuda Chronicles】 Episodes 31-33 Author: Nongyu

◆ Episode 1: The Jade of January - A Mismatched Couple

The royal family of Solancia harbors a highly secret scandal, a fact widely known. It's a story that evokes a bitter laugh, but this so-called secret is actually open knowledge among intelligence agencies worldwide. The matter was handled so poorly that it was difficult to conceal it.

The current King of Solancia, Grintz, is a lecherous and lustful man. Not content with his own wives and concubines, he also had an affair with the Queen's mother. Taking advantage of her visits to the palace, he repeatedly raped this noblewoman, causing the Queen to die of a stroke and also impregnating his mother-in-law, creating a massive scandal.

To deal with his pregnant mother-in-law, the King first bestowed upon her the title of Countess, then arranged a marriage between her and a recently returned victorious general from his ranks, hoping to resolve the issue publicly.

Shortly after the marriage, the old general died suddenly. This poor old man, who hadn't even touched his bride's hand, was murdered by the jealous King to silence him. The new wife who married into the general's mansion gave birth prematurely to the old general's posthumous child.

This posthumous child is none other than Bianca Sheen, with whom I have had several battles. As for my renowned and beautiful mother-in-law, I have long heard of her and have long hoped to meet her, to see what kind of stunning beauty could have driven the King of Solancia to defy all moral taboos and recklessly take her, repeatedly having sex with her until things completely spiraled out of control, resulting in this shameful outcome.

But this thought is far from being put into practice. After all, this great beauty resides in Solancia and cannot possibly venture out into the world. Her security is extremely tight and thorough; let alone getting close to her, even just seeing her would be incredibly difficult.

Who would have thought that man proposes, God disposes? I encountered this stunningly beautiful woman the moment I arrived in Solancia. Not only did I meet her, but in the very short time of our first meeting, we engaged in oral sex, intercourse, and anal sex—a first meeting this intense! I'd never experienced anything like it before, and I certainly didn't expect to suffer such a shock after this bliss.

Demetheus, this beautiful mature woman, holds a special position in Solancia. Putting aside everything else, just her status as the king's mistress and mother-in-law means no other man would dare to mess with her. Now the High Priest has ordered me to have sex with her. If this is merely a welcoming gift for a distinguished guest, it's far too much. There will undoubtedly be demands I can't handle later. Things are getting complicated.

Just as I was realizing this was bad, a commotion broke out outside. It sounded like someone was trying to break into the tent. Judging from the noise, it must be my "friends" and "reinforcements." Perhaps because I've been silent for too long, they've lost patience and are trying to storm in.

Seeing the situation threatening to descend into chaos, a thought flashed through my mind: if Dai Meisi's identity was so special, perhaps she could be used as a hidden pawn. Currently, we are deep in enemy territory, yet completely unaware of Solancia's situation. If we could win Dai Meisi over to our side, while it might not be the best move, it would certainly catch the enemy off guard.

How do you win a woman over? The answer is simple: through emotion.

How do you develop feelings for a woman when time is extremely scarce? The answer is even simpler: through drugging.

The cursed drug Hua Gengsha concocted is still in my possession, and it will come in handy now: of the four pills concocted with "True Love," one pill, Yi Ke Yu, has already been swallowed by Leng Linglan. Of the remaining three, one pill, Yi Ri Yu, is meaningless, and the consequences of Yi Sheng Yu are too great. Using Yi Yue Yu is the most appropriate.

Taking advantage of Dai Meisi's inattention, I quickly took out the Moon Jade and shoved it into her mouth. She was startled and seemed about to scream, but I covered her mouth with my hand, preventing her from uttering a sound. Her eyes, however, began to glaze over.

Unlike Leng Linglan's situation, once the special effects of "True Love" truly began to take hold, things would develop normally. As long as Dai Meisi kept looking at me, she would fall in love with me from the bottom of her heart. In this way, for a whole month, this beautiful mature woman would be under my control, becoming my mole planted in Solancia... Hmm, this drug is incredibly effective. I should have had Hua Gengsha prepare more.

However, theory is one thing, but reality is always unpredictable. Just as I was contemplating this and a smile crept onto my face, suddenly there was a loud bang, and a group of people rushed into the tent entrance like a stampede of horses. I was kicked down by these reckless fellows and forcibly separated from Dai Meisi.

(Oh no! If she sees someone else, that'll be a disaster...)

If Demetheus sees someone else at a time like this: the effects of the "True Love" potion will be wasted, benefiting someone else. Wasting a divine potion isn't a big deal, since I didn't concoct it anyway, and only the witch will be heartbroken. But if Demetheus falls in love with someone else because of this and becomes out of my control, that could lead to a terrible disaster.

However, in such a chaotic scene, it's impossible for Demetheus not to see anyone, because at least twenty people are crammed into a not-so-small tent. How could she not see anyone?

(Who did she see? Which elven soldier? Or some member of the Bai family? Surely she didn't see the High Priest? Uh, the High Priest doesn't seem to have come in, then...)

With a sense of doubt, I finally found Demetheus, but what I saw was a horrific and appalling scene.

Having just finished their encounter, Dai Meisi hadn't had time to dress, simply draping a long robe over her body. Her naked, beautiful body was mostly exposed, her snow-white breasts and full buttocks, along with the stains of their recent union, all testifying to what had just happened, making this sexy woman even more alluring.

The effects of the "True Love" drug were beginning to take hold; Dai Meisi felt as if she had met the love of her life, embracing him tightly. The object of her affections was a handsome young man dressed in a blue military uniform, seemingly a man… well, just dressed up. Because no matter how much he dressed like a man, I recognized his handsome face at a glance. She… was my younger sister, Leng Linglan.

I don't know when Leng Linglan changed into men's clothing, but she's definitely in a predicament right now, being held by Dai Meisi, who keeps showering her cheeks and neck with kisses. The look in Leng Linglan's eyes, I think, is more like fear than disgust. Under normal circumstances, she probably would have kicked her away long ago, but in this strange situation, she probably senses that Dai Meisi is no ordinary person and doesn't dare to act rashly. She can only awkwardly be held tightly, constantly trying to push her away, but she can't resist the other person who is deeply in love.

"Leng... Ye family brothers, don't do anything rash! This is the Countess of Solancia. If she loses a single hair, we might all be buried here with her."

Because I was worried that something might happen, I deliberately held back my laughter and warned her. The Bai family members around us were all horrified. Some of the more quick-witted ones had already changed their expressions from horror to smiles, but because of the strange situation, they didn't dare to laugh out loud.

"...What's going on here? A perverted yuri show? I developed True Love, not to watch this kind of stuff."

Hua Gengsha coldly dismissed all the Bai family members, sending them outside the tent. Then, unexpectedly, she pointed a finger, causing Dai Meisi to faint. This rescued Leng Linglan from the crisis.

"What's the situation now?"

"How should I know?"

I answered Hua Gengsha's question with a single sentence, but Leng Linglan suddenly interjected from the side.

"The title of 'Great Lecher' is well-deserved. While everyone outside is worried and fearful, you're here having a good time. You seemed to be enjoying yourself!"

For some reason, her words sounded very sarcastic, so I retorted directly: "Not as good as you. I was kissing you while holding you. Anyway, we both have the Farrell bloodline, so I'll give you the title of 'Great Lecher'."

Arguing in a place like this is pointless. We calmed down and quickly left the tent, intending to find the High Priest for questioning, when we heard the shouts of the Bai family members and rushed over to investigate.

The story is quite simple: I drove the sled out of the valley, pulling Lindsay along, but forgot about another person who couldn't fight… Okay, I admit I deliberately forgot. I was tired of that female reporter anyway, and protecting her was too much of a burden. This was a good opportunity to leave her behind. If she were killed by the dragon spirit or evil beast in the valley, that would be ideal; I wouldn't even need to kill her to cover it up.

Logically, everyone should have understood my intentions and wouldn't interfere, but in my haste, I forgot one thing: Leng Linglan was also present. Even if the Bai family members acted as if Charlotte didn't exist, Leng Linglan wouldn't ignore her.

And so, Leng Linglan protected Charlotte in the difficult battle, leading her out of the encirclement, right up until just now. Charlotte, whether from ingesting too much aphrodisiac or from the intense battle involving over a hundred spatial transfers, was mentally dazed and hadn't regained her senses. Leng Linglan and the others, concerned for my safety in the tent, had waited outside, placing the still-conscious Charlotte on the wooden sled as temporary shelter.

Logically, with the dragon spirit retreating into the valley, Charlotte's safety shouldn't be a problem. However, just as Leng Linglan and the others rushed into the tent, an elderly elven elder suddenly appeared. Upon seeing Charlotte, his eyes widened, and disregarding the several Bai family members guarding the sled, he led several hundred elven soldiers to drive them away.

The Bai family had no obligation to Charlotte's safety. Strictly speaking, the wooden sledge belonged to Bin Laden, and the Bai family valued it a hundred times more than Charlotte. They would never risk a conflict with the elves for Charlotte's sake. After being driven away, they merely stood on the periphery, shouting and cursing, watching hundreds of elven soldiers surround the sledge, their intentions unclear.

What they didn't know, I understood perfectly, though I found it hard to believe they could go to such lengths.

When we forced our way through the elven soldiers' defenses, we witnessed a horrifying scene.

The disoriented female reporter lay sprawled on the sledge, her eyes vacant, her clothes disheveled, but her smooth, bare buttocks, like two freshly boiled, peeled eggs, snow-white and round, perched in mid-air, alluring.

Such a beautiful scene, if not for the presence of something that tainted our vision, would have been a work of art. Unfortunately, behind this beautiful sight, an elderly elf in white robes had just unfastened the hem of his robes, revealing a tiny creature about half a finger's length, swaying back and forth. When he saw us burst in like this, he wore an expression of utter astonishment and embarrassment, almost innocent.

"...You...how could you be so rude? Barging in without a word..."

the High Priest of Solancia said to us in such an aggrieved tone. We...were at a loss for words. He showed no shame whatsoever; instead, he seemed to think we should knock before entering, giving us a blaming look. This completely oblivious and absurd reaction left me wondering if this High Priest was inherently mentally challenged, or if he had simply lost all sense of propriety and shame.

Regardless of the reason, I felt genuine sympathy for those serving under this high priest. Thinking back, with our small force, we easily broke through the defenses of several hundred elven soldiers without any real conflict. I suppose these elves were too ashamed, so they only went through the motions of defense, letting us in to stop this vile act.

"Oh dear, is this High Priest Bernanke of Solancia?"

Hua Gengsha remained unmoved by the ugly scene before her, turning to Ye Linglan and saying, "Your information is very problematic. How is this old man mediocre? To be able to do something like this, his talent is truly exceptional, leaving me in awe."

Normally, Ye Linglan would have been furious, but perhaps because the object of her anger was so far beyond common sense, even she sighed this time. She slapped her forehead and said, "It's my fault. I was too naive and misjudged a master. I won't make that mistake again."

These words coming from Leng Linglan were quite strange. I didn't know whether to interpret them as simple self-pity or an implication that "I'll kill you on sight next time."

Regardless, given the current situation, no matter how far Bernanke strayed from common sense, things couldn't continue. He reluctantly began straightening his clothes, met our gaze, and then… the scene became incredibly awkward. Fighting or killing wasn't appropriate, and even smiling and embracing seemed strange. In the end, we set aside the righteous and let me, the lowly one, clean up the mess.

"Haha, old brother, why are you in such a hurry? You're not even picking a spot before starting? So unromantic, and it's beneath your noble status!"

"Haha, little brother, you truly are my confidant. Of all these people, you're the only one who genuinely cares about me. It's like we've known each other for ages! Come on, let's have a warm hug!"

"Hey, hug me, but please put that thing down there... oh, that thing back in your pants. If it gets touched out of nowhere, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight!"

Reminded by me, the High Priest quickly put his clothes back on, especially tucking his short thing back into his crotch, and then gave me a warm hug—a hug I'd never even shared with my own father. It's not that I don't mind the dirt, but some things just have to be done, like how even the dirtiest toilet needs cleaning.

"Hey, brother. You guys are such a killjoy, why did you have to get in the way at a time like this?"

"Get in the way? No, I've been deliberately delaying. How come you're still not done, brother? I've given you half a day, and you still haven't gotten it up. That's really terrible."

I put my arm around the high priest's shoulder, leaving the others behind, and we talked as we walked, looking quite intimate. Then I heard the high priest sigh heavily with regret.

"Alas, this is where you, my friend, need to diagnose and treat me. I'm getting old, and my strength is failing me. We elves revere nature, and none of our ancient texts mention such methods of resurrection and restoring virility. His Majesty and I are deeply worried and fed up. Truly, Bag, Bag the Wild Deer!"

"Tsk? You, a perfectly respectable elven high priest, why are you talking about Bag the Wild Deer?"

"Oh, in the ancient texts I've been studying recently, there's a race that also suffers from short penises, frequent erectile dysfunction, and premature ejaculation. They constantly talk about Bag the Wild Deer. I found it amusing, so I picked it up and made it my catchphrase." "

That can't be right. I've heard of that race too, but they don't necessarily have short penises, frequent erectile dysfunction, or premature ejaculation. What kind of ancient texts are you reading? It can't be the elven holy scriptures, can it?"

"Ha, I'm already tired of my tribe's sacred texts, what's so special about them? For the past two hundred years, I've been captivated by human novels and stories. I'm not interested in literary giants or talented scholars; I just love reading works by third-rate to ninth-rate authors, especially those that are sufficiently fanciful, or rather, wish-fulfillment... Bag Wild Deer."

"...Hmm, truly Bag Wild Deer!"

※※※※

Plans can't keep up with changes, and this is a common pain shared by all heroes, sages, and wise men throughout history. The original plan to secretly infiltrate Solancia can now be declared completely scrapped, and it's been changed to attending a party in Solancia, which might even be a sensual and exciting orgy.

The High Priest said that I should attend the award ceremony for the Ten Great Villains. This wasn't a joke after all. In addition to the Ten Great Villains, they also selected the Ten Great Masters, the Ten Great Beauties, the Ten Great Divine Weapons, and so on, and they're going to hold a celebration and award ceremony for them all. I heard there will even be a parade of floats. Truly a wish-fulfillment fanatic addicted to third-rate novels.

Our group, naturally becoming honored guests, were escorted by over ten thousand elven soldiers, pulling a wooden sled, to a nearby forest settlement to rest, preparing for our journey to the Huaer Forest the day after tomorrow to attend the grand celebration to be held there.

"A celebration? It should be called a national disgrace! None of the elves I know would consider something like that a celebration. What's wrong with this country? It seems blinded by something, doing nothing but absurd things!"

Leng Linglan was furious about the current situation, but I felt she had little right to be angry. If we were to criticize the incompetent and tyrannical rulers of the land, her nominal father, Leng Qiji, was a model figure. The reason he hadn't become a ruler who brought ruin to the country was entirely due to the sacrifices and efforts of his two daughters, Leng Yueying and Leng Linglan.

In comparison, the incompetence on Solancia's side was terrible, but not particularly bad either; at least… I didn't think Leng Linglan had the right to criticize.

"What's wrong? What kind of look is that? Is there something wrong with what I said?"

Unfortunately, although I had remained silent, hoping not to say anything that might cause trouble, Leng Linglan still noticed the mocking look in my eyes and confronted me.

"No, Admiral Leng is right. How could I dare to have any opinions? The more I say, the more mistakes I make. It would be terrible if a knife came down on me."

"Just say what you mean. No need to beat around the bush. Speaking of the way you were just now, couldn't you be a little more decent? There are all kinds of friends you could make, why did you have to befriend those elves, hugging and cuddling? Don't you find it disgusting at all?"

"I can't help it even if it's disgusting. If I don't hug them, are you going to hug them? You've befriended all the righteous people, so of course I can only befriend scoundrels, ugly people, and scumbags. That's how the world is, it's fair!"

The pointless bickering between the siblings ended there, we both knew that. There was no point in arguing anymore, dealing with the problem at hand was the important thing.

"Be careful, the Third Prince, Lehman, is nearby," I said. "He left before I entered the camp, but he was there during the battle and even helped deal with the dragon spirit. He's incredibly powerful and not to be underestimated."

Actually, what I was more concerned about was the horn in Lehman's hand. Judging from the situation on the battlefield, the dragon spirit was driven away by that horn. If that horn were used against us, its power...

(In my memory, there doesn't seem to be any horn-type artifact specifically designed to counter dragons. That horn... hmm, could it be one of the Seven Sacred Artifacts of Creation? Judging by its power, it does seem quite powerful. But the Sage's Bracelet showed no abnormalities at the time, no resonance... Sigh, this bracelet is unreliable; it's hard to judge just by looking at it.)

If other Sacred Artifacts of Creation were nearby, I could make a more accurate judgment, but Ah Xue is missing, Yu Hong has fallen into the sea, and the Great Sun Mirror and the Beacon Fire Universe Ring are not here, so I can't make a conclusion.

At our peak, our squad possessed the Great Sun Mirror, the Beacon Fire Universe Ring, and the Sage's Bracelet. If Narcissus hadn't broken her promise and not given me the Creation Artifact hidden by Ishtar, we would have acquired four of the seven Creation Artifacts. Looking back through history, while it's rare for a nation-level power to acquire more than four, it's not unheard of. But for a small team of just a few people to obtain four Creation Artifacts is simply unprecedented.

Unfortunately, in the blink of an eye, our squad fell apart. Looking back on past achievements is meaningless; the real issue is how to create new glories. Speaking of which, I'm really interested in that horn. If we could get our hands on it, it should significantly boost our strength, right? But how to seize it by trickery and force is another question…

“Is that Lehman blowing the horn?” Leng Linglan was slightly surprised: “His strength is even greater than I heard! I’d like to have a go with him sometime and see how he compares to Lunfier.”

“Oh, you haven’t met this Brother Lehman before?”

“No, my identity is special. I’ve always been a secret agent when I come to Solancia. I keep a very low profile and never meet anyone other than Lunfier. I also don’t let others know I’ve entered the country. Sometimes I don’t even go into the Huaer Forest and meet Lunfier directly outside. Of course, I haven’t had the chance to meet this Third Prince.”

Leng Linglan’s thoughts are a common flaw among experts. They want to fight any strong opponent they see. If it were up to me, this troublesome guy would be better taken out by sneak attack and ambush to avoid danger.

Logically speaking, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Leng Linglan and Lunfier are on the same side, and they are enemies of Lehman. I can’t be friends with Lunfier, so is there any room for cooperation between me and Lehman? I believe that with enough incentive, we could band together and call each other brothers, let alone Lehman Brothers or even the Black Dragon King. However, I came to Solancia to destroy their Doomsday Dragon. It seems unlikely they would watch me wreak havoc while calling me brother, right?

Meeting High Priest Bernanke was a rare opportunity. Judging from his promises, it seems that as long as we hand over the aphrodisiac and male enhancement techniques, the Doomsday Dragon is nothing more than a national interest to be sold. But talk is cheap; I often kill people to cover my tracks after making promises. The situation is unclear now. If I completely trust the High Priest and end up dying a confused death myself, that would be truly ridiculous.

(Huh? Actually, I came to Solancia just to solve Xue's problem, not necessarily to destroy the Doomsday Dragon. If there were other ways to deal with Xue's predicament, then I would... Sigh, I'm overthinking things. I don't even know where Xue is now. What's the point of thinking about this?)

My thoughts were a mess and I needed some time to sort them out. Just as I was trying to clear my mind, Leng Linglan pointed out a key point: Solancia's military operation was highly problematic.

"They attacked the valley, lured out the dragon spirit, and were utterly defeated. This could certainly be explained by insufficient intelligence gathering, incompetent generals, and a chaotic military operation. But... Lehman was able to defeat Lunfer and steadily take over his power, so he's no incompetent person. I think there's more to this attack on the valley than meets the eye."

Leng Linglan's idea was exactly what I was thinking. In fact, I had the same suspicion: "You're right. The best evidence is that we could have set off back to Huaer Forest, but we inexplicably had to stay here for two days. These two days were completely unnecessary unless... someone planned to do something during these two days, something that... was originally going to be done but was interrupted by our unexpected appearance."

From the beginning to the end of the war outside the valley, I've been thinking non-stop. I've considered everything Leng Linglan said, and based on the situation at the time, there's a most reasonable yet also the most unbelievable thought that sends chills down my spine.

If Solancia already knew the number of dragon spirits in the valley, and the army's humiliating defeat was expected, then what was their purpose?

Blood sacrifice!

Solancia is an elven kingdom, not a kingdom of black magic. They couldn't, like Ishtar, recklessly engage in blood sacrifices to create magical artifacts like the Blood Orb or perform large-scale black magic. However, the Doomsday War Dragon, a super-powerful weapon, is only a step away from so-called evil magic. It's possible that some steps in its creation required blood sacrifice. Therefore

, sending over ten thousand elven troops to attack the Valley of the Dead, even if they were completely annihilated, could be attributed to a failed military operation. Even if the news reached foreign lands, few would suspect it was part of a blood sacrifice. After all, sacrificing over ten thousand elite soldiers was too horrifying; it had never happened in Solancia's history, and it wasn't something a normal person would think of.

Things were going smoothly until our group suddenly appeared, forcing the blood sacrifice plan to be interrupted to prevent us from discovering it. If the news got out, not to mention the foreign reactions and pressure, the unrest within Solancia alone would be enough to change the political landscape.

The elves of Solancia might tolerate a foolish ruler, but they could never tolerate the elven kingdom becoming like Ishtar. If word got out that a large-scale black magic festival was being secretly held within their borders, I guarantee these elves would rise up against them.

"One thing is certain: if Solancia truly has other schemes, they will definitely take action in the next two days,"

I said. "Notify everyone to be vigilant these next two days and pay close attention to everything happening around them. I don't want the enemy to suddenly launch a blood sacrifice, and we to become the ridiculous sacrifices."

Leng Linglan couldn't convey this warning for me, so Hua Gengsha naturally did it on her behalf. In fact, this heartless, cold-blooded old hag was practically beaming with excitement when she heard that I had fed the One Moon Jade to Dai Meisi. She was rubbing her hands together, eager to know the effects of the medicine immediately. But when I entrusted her with this task, she immediately took the opportunity to leave, and I don't know where she went.

After Hua Gengsha left, Leng Linglan raised a question that had been weighing on her mind for a long time: "Now it's impossible for us to sneak in secretly. Solancia knows we're here, and they know who's among us. We can handle the others, but the dwarves can't be hidden. What do you plan to do when Solancia asks you for people?"
◆ Episode 2: Spirit and Flesh Trade. Cheap True Love

Undeniably, the question Leng Linglan raised was very tricky, even fatal. If we suddenly entered Solancia, someone like Leng Linglan could disguise herself as a man. As long as she didn't flaunt Ba Hai, even if others saw through her disguise, they wouldn't immediately think of the fact that the Second Princess of Alibuda had personally come… Of course, I think this is wishful thinking on her part; there's a 95% chance that Solancia already knows her identity.

But compared to Leng Linglan, Lindsay is even more difficult to conceal. Anyone can see she's a dwarf, and Prince Rayman definitely knows what she's here for. At that time, for the sake of the Doomsday Dragon, Rayman's side will demand that we hand her over. Outnumbered, what can we do but obediently hand her over?

Of course, if we're determined to fight to the death, we can kill Lindsay in front of Rayman, instantly destroying her body, severing ties completely. No one will get the secret hidden inside Lindsay. This way, we can not only hinder the enemy, but perhaps also prevent the Doomsday Dragon from being assembled, making everyone happy... However, it seems that no one benefits from doing this. The only one who will be happy is Bin Laden, which is putting the cart before the horse.

Leng Linglan said, "You can't use any reason to refuse. Such words are unconvincing coming from you. Besides... when they come to pick her up, they'll definitely use the marriage as an excuse. How will you refuse then?"

This... indeed left me speechless. We were there to escort the bride, and now that she's been delivered, if Lehman comes to pick her up, I can hardly say no. Moreover, we have no relation to Lindsay, so why should we stand up for her?

"So, you're urging me to kill her quickly, dismember the dwarf together, see what's good to get, and go home to sleep with the prize, right?"

"I didn't say that."

"Then what do you mean?"

Leng Linglan's attitude confused me. I pressed her for an answer, and she looked strange, coldly saying, "I don't know either. I'm here to assist you, to see what you're capable of handling these problems."

This was a truly inexplicable mentality. I couldn't understand this twisted sister's thinking, but this matter was indeed my responsibility to handle.

"I'll handle Lindsay, but there's a troublesome person I need to pass on to you. Maybe you could talk to her."

"Who?"

"Charlotte, your female compatriot was almost raped just now. As the acknowledged savior of women, you can't just sit idly by, can you?"

I said Leng Linglan was a savior of women, and that wasn't untrue. Women in Alibuda, whenever they suffered any injustice, would often try to seek help from this savior. Although she didn't always grant their requests, she had helped many women get justice.

However, I didn't mean any harm by mentioning her nickname "savior of women." Everyone in Alibuda knew that Leng Linglan didn't have a man. Whenever men talked about this savior of women, they all thought of her as a lesbian, aloof woman. Leng Linglan herself knew this, so of course she understood what I meant when I said that.

"The strong are strong. I'm not a nanny. I don't run to save every woman who cries somewhere. Only women who can stand up on their own deserve my help."

"Don't you think you're being crazy? If someone can stand up on their own, why would they need your help?"

This was just nitpicking, and I understood what Leng Linglan meant—helping those who can stand but can't. But she wasn't bothered by my nitpicking. She coldly replied, "What can I do to help someone who can't stand up on their own?"

Her words were cold, and it was clear that Leng Linglan truly looked down on Charlotte. Although she would help Charlotte out of humanitarianism if Charlotte's life was in danger, asking her to consider Charlotte's feelings... obviously, Leng Linglan couldn't possibly do that.

I said nothing more and left the tent to search for Lindsay. My mind was racing with thoughts. Previously, Leng Linglan had valued Charlotte highly, not only introducing her to the Golden Flower Federation but also stopping her attacks during the battle on the armored train for Charlotte's sake, which led to her being ambushed and captured by me.

At that time, Leng Linglan saw Charlotte as an independent and strong modern woman, appreciating her character, which is why she favored her and repeatedly supported her. But later, after witnessing Charlotte's disgraceful state and discovering her descent into depravity, given Leng Linglan's fastidious nature, it was impossible for her to have any goodwill towards Charlotte anymore; she even felt disgusted. Thus, things have turned out this way.

Who Leng Linglan likes and dislikes is her own business, and I can't control that. But as her brother, I actually have some advice for her.

(You're strong and stubborn enough, but people's hearts aren't as strong as you imagine, and not everyone can be like you. If you use this standard to judge others, you'll suffer sooner or later...)

I think my prediction will come true sooner or later, but then again, I have enough enemies myself, so I don't seem to have the right to tell others how to avoid being hacked.

The Bai family members were busy collecting the wooden sleds. I ran into them and offered them my condolences. They had been busy wielding chainsaws all day, which must have been exhausting. However, I was really curious about the final battle in the valley. When they stormed out of the valley, their murderous aura and ferocious tiger-like demeanor were truly astonishing and frightened all the elves. How could they be so full of fighting spirit?

"I truly admire you all. If every soldier in the world were as brave as you, we would be invincible."

I exclaimed in praise, but to my surprise, all the Bai family members' faces darkened. Several of them practically cried, sighing as they came over and patted me on the shoulder.

"We really envy you. You can run away whenever you want. We wanted to run away too..."

"Do you think we're really that brave? We want to escape even more than you do! It's a dragon spirit! Who wants to fight that head-on?"

"Yes, such a terrifying battle. Who wouldn't want to escape if they could? But... the Dean threatened us to grit our teeth and go..."

It sounded like they were only risking their lives to fight bravely because of Hua Gengsha's threat. But what exactly did Hua Gengsha threaten them with?

"The Dean said that we are destined to leave the valley today covered in blood. If anyone tries to desert, she will cast a blood curse on everyone, using our self-destructed blood to destroy the enemy."

"Well... forgive my bluntness, but after being treated so cruelly, don't you ever want to desert?"

Unexpectedly, my question earned them shaking their heads.

"You don't understand. Our Lord Hou and Dean Hua are legendary heroes to us. We may not agree with their methods, but we believe it's because our wisdom and experience are insufficient. However, as long as we follow their instructions and persevere to the end, the outcome will surely be good." As they spoke

, the Bai family members' expressions were remarkably calm, even resolute. Most importantly, everyone's expression was identical, which truly impressed me.

These Bai family members weren't fools. Through my interactions with them, I knew they were all highly educated, with excellent learning and character. They were outstanding individuals, skilled in both literature and martial arts. Although they might seem like underlings now, once their training is complete, they will become leaders in the organization, and in time, they will all become important figures.

So, why do they still worship Bin Laden and Hua Gengsha to the point of blind obedience? Is it because people with higher moral character are more prone to blindness and easier to deceive? Or is it because Bin Laden and Hua Gengsha truly possess extraordinary abilities? I believe the latter is more likely, but... the former must also play a part, right?

I originally thought the most perverted person on earth was my father. Not only was he a madman himself, but he also transformed the Third New Tokyo City into an iron fortress where everyone was of one mind, completely devoted to him, and absolutely obedient. I never imagined that others could achieve such an effect. Speaking of which, if I have the opportunity in the future, I should ask Bin Laden for advice on the art of control, to see what techniques he used to make his subordinates respect him so much.

"Hey, you've all worked hard. You guys go ahead with your work. I'm going to talk to the dwarf princess about something important. Oh, and if you don't need that sledge, don't chop it up for firewood. I'm really interested in it."

After saying goodbye to the Bai family members, I went to look for Lindsay, only to find that she wasn't in her assigned camp. This startled me, as I thought my trump card had fallen. I immediately mobilized the Bai family members to search for her, and finally asked the nearby elven soldiers. They said that Lindsay seemed to have gone into the woods alone, so I immediately followed them.

If Lindsay had disappeared, although we would have lost a hot potato, we would have completely lost control, and all our leverage with the Doomsday Dragon would be gone—a huge loss. Fortunately, I hadn't been in the woods long when I saw Lindsay ahead of me. She was talking to several elven soldiers, the leader of whom was a young lad. He was laughing and talking with Lindsay while picking at the flowers, plants, and trees in the forest, seemingly having a very pleasant conversation.

"Lindsay, what are you doing? Come here!"

Hearing my call, Lindsay waved and rushed towards me. The elven soldiers who had been with her all turned and left upon seeing me. To these elves, I was an irreconcilable enemy. No matter how friendly the High Priest was to me, their hatred for me would not change. Naturally, they all fled when I approached.

"Lindsay, what are you doing with these people?" "

They're all good people. I asked them who they were, and they said they were subordinates of the Third Prince, so we started chatting. They all know a lot about plants. Back in my homeland, I used to plant flowers and grass every day and have grown a lot of plants. They know a lot about these things..."

Lindsay spoke excitedly, her small face radiant. This was the first time I had seen her so energetic since I met her, and I felt quite sorry for her.

In Rosetta, this simple-minded girl, despite her royal blood, lived a completely peaceful and unassuming life. If she hadn't been found to be delivering goods this time, she would never have had anything to do with conspiracies and intrigues in her life. Now that she's in this situation, while it can't be said to be our fault, I still feel it's...

"You'd better be careful. Those guys are soldiers, used to killing and arson. If you interact with them like this, you might get gang-raped eighty times here. Then it'll be too late to cry."

"No way, we were discussing flowers and plants. They're all kind and good people. If they were vicious, they wouldn't be so close to plants." "

Ha, that's funny. Being close to plants means being a good person? Then wouldn't the best people in the world be those in a vegetative state?"

My argument was really cold-blooded. To be honest, no matter how unreliable those elven soldiers were, they weren't more dangerous than us. We were the ones who truly had selfish motives and malicious intentions towards Lindsay.

After a few words, we inevitably had to return to the main topic. Lindsay suddenly fell silent. I think she knew very well that I had come to her to solve a problem, and solving the problem and dealing with her were almost becoming the same thing.

"Well, Lindsay, I think you should remember that we sent you to Solancia to marry the Third Prince, which means..."

"It means that what's hidden inside me will be taken out and handed over to the Third Prince?"

Lindsay said calmly, her expression carefree and fearless, even with a slight smile. If I didn't know her a little, I would have thought she was an idiot.

"That's right, but we've also studied it. As long as we remove the core from your body first, you'll lose your value to the Third Prince, and he won't do anything to you anymore, so you'll be safe." "But

, Sister Hua told me that removing the core from my body also means I will die. If I die like this, then whatever the Third Prince's intentions are towards me won't matter."

You old hag, you're never so honest when you talk, why did you tell Lindsay everything? Are you trying to help her or harm me?

"Uh... things aren't that bad. Every law has its countermeasure. I believe there must be a way to extract the core without hurting you. Don't let our seemingly weak appearance fool you; we're all highly skilled. You won't find many who can rival us in their respective fields."

"Yes, Sister Hua said the same thing."

Really? That's wonderful! Although the old woman looks like a ghost, she still has the word "old woman" in her name and retains some humanity. She'll still say a few human words when it matters.

"Sister Hua said that, according to her professional judgment, I have at least an 85% chance of dying when the core is removed, and the chance of surviving unharmed is less than 0.01%. She also said that few people on earth can surpass her in this area. She judges that patients who are going to die are absolutely incurable and beyond saving, so I'm doomed."

Seriously, this old hag isn't just inhuman, she probably doesn't even know how to write the word "human." Does she think this is a ghost story for children, the scarier the better? No wonder she claims to be just a part-time doctor; if she were a full-time doctor, all her patients would be scared or angered to death before she could cure them.

"Anyway, don't worry about this, I'll definitely find a way to make you..."

At this point, I suddenly felt ridiculous. I called Lindsay over to prepare her mentally, not to promise her anything. Besides, in the current situation, what could I promise her? Protect her? Regardless of whether my companions would support me, how could I possibly bear the losses incurred in protecting her?

Just as I hesitated, Lindsay spoke up: "Is this really okay? If I don't die, and we can't get the core, won't this cause you all a lot of trouble?"

"Hey, are you out of your mind? Why do I feel like you've been wanting to die all along? There's no need for this, is there?"

"No, I... I just..." Lindsay tilted her head, smiling apologetically, "I just feel sad seeing you all so troubled. You and the Third Prince are both people who do important things, things that seem to affect the whole land. If I only think about myself, I don't know if I'll delay everyone on earth. Just thinking about that makes me..."

It's true that Lindsay is clueless about worldly affairs, but she's definitely not stupid. On the contrary, this girl is actually very smart. She not only understands what we say, but she also quickly applies it to other situations. If she didn't always put herself in other people's shoes, her exceptional intelligence alone could cause us a lot of trouble.

But then again, exceptionally intelligent women aren't scary. If she were just an ordinary smart girl, I would have already taken her down. Smart girls aren't hard to handle, and women who think they're smart are even easier to deal with. It's just that this dim-witted, clueless girl makes me unable to put my hand down every time I raise it.

It's strange, really. I got involved in all this to save Xue, but now that things have progressed and Xue's whereabouts are unknown, I see a shadow of Xue in this dwarf girl.

The same optimism, the same consideration for others, and the same tendency to bring misfortune upon oneself. It's strange, how can there be such a person in the world?

"Um, this… I think…"

I suddenly realized I couldn't say anything to Lindsay. I couldn't make any promises, and I didn't want to spout nonsense. Even lying to her felt pointless. So, what could I do?

"Mr. John, I want to ask you something…"

"Oh? What is it?"

"I heard… that you're the best in the world in that area, that you can make women so happy they don't want to live anymore. Is that true?" "

This… this… this… who told you that? And why are you asking this?"

Lindsay's words left me speechless. I couldn't very well just laugh it off and then use the opportunity to boast about my sexual prowess, could I?

However, denying it was pointless, so the final choice was to acquiesce. I still couldn't understand why Lindsay was asking this.

"I... I'm actually very afraid of dying."

"Then cherish your life! Nobody said you have to die. Don't always look like you're in a rush to sacrifice yourself."

"But... there's no way around it. It's not like I can live to a ripe old age just by trying. But anyway, even if I have to die, I want to die happily, without regrets."

Lindsay cupped her face, smiling like a silly little girl. I was wondering what she was going to say when she turned to me and said, "I've never done *that* before. It would be such a waste to die like this. I must find a professional to try it out. Mr. John is a celebrity in this field, the most professional in the world. Can you help me?" I

never expected to be considered a professional in this area. Wasn't that treating me like a male prostitute? If someone else said that, I'd be furious, but if it was a little girl's dying request... I don't think I had any reason to refuse, did I?

"But... I feel this is weird, because I've always heard people say that a man and a woman need to love each other to do that kind of thing, that's what makes it love... If a woman does it without love, then... then she's a slut, and I... I don't want to become a slut."

Watching this cute little dwarf act silly is quite amusing, but her demands are not easy to satisfy. On one hand, she wants sex, and on the other hand, she wants true love. It's like wanting to be a prostitute and also want to have a virtuous image. Even I don't know how to meet such high demands.

If it were anyone else, I would have kicked them away long ago, knocking out a few teeth along the way, but with this silly little dwarf, even if it's difficult, I have to be patient and do it.

I took a handkerchief from my pocket and laid it flat on Lindsay's head. At first glance, it looked like a white veil. I cleared my throat and said in a solemn voice, "John Farrell and Lindsay are holding their ceremony here today. John, do you love this woman? Hmm, I do. And Lindsay, do you love the man beside you? Hmm, I'll take that as your answer."

After this self-questioning and answering, I reached out and pulled the handkerchief off Lindsay's head, tossed it aside, and said, "The ceremony is over. No more nonsense. If you want to make love, start taking off your pants. Don't waste time."

In my mind, I could just take off Xiangzi's pants directly, but I encountered fierce resistance from Lindsay. She seemed to feel that this was not the kind of intimacy she expected and refused to let me take off her pants. But in the struggle, I unexpectedly discovered that this little silly girl's buttocks were round, firm, and fleshy. It should be quite enjoyable to have sex with her like this. Just like that, I deflowered her. Thinking about it, it's quite something to look forward to.

"Hey, are you going to take it or not? If you keep dragging your feet, I'm going to force myself on you."

"No...no...if I do it now, I'll become a little slut."

Lindsay said, letting out another scream. I ripped open her pants, revealing her round, firm buttocks, which, though not very fair, aroused my lust. But before I could reach out, Lindsay covered them.

"Mr. John, don't you have some drugs?"

"Yes, uh...so that's what you're planning. You should have just said so earlier!"

I finally understood what Lindsay meant by talking about love. If I fed her "true love," she could develop love even without it. These women are really strange. They know their love isn't real, yet they still pursue it relentlessly. Are they just deceiving themselves? Or…

if we're going to use "True Love," that's not a problem either. I have two more pills, a One-Day Pill and a Lifetime Pill. Of these two… the Lifetime Pill is the most potent. Even if it doesn't truly last a lifetime, judging from Hua Gengsha's confident demeanor, maintaining its effects for decades shouldn't be a problem. However, Lindsay's life… might only have a few days left, or even just a few hours. Using the Lifetime Pill like that would be too wasteful.

In that case, the One-Day Pill is more cost-effective. After taking it, we can have a romantic day, then a one-night stand—quick and easy, in line with modern trends.

I made up my mind and prepared to give the pill to Lindsay, but just as I took the bottle from my pocket, before I could even open it, I suddenly heard a roar from afar, and a young man strode out from behind the distant trees.

The elven youth who ran out was unremarkable in appearance. While not ugly, in an elven race known for its handsome men and beautiful women, his looks were quite striking. He was also short and stocky, and his angry expression only made him more unattractive. It took me a moment to recognize him; he was the same elf who had been chatting so amiably with Lindsay earlier.

He shouted loudly in Elvish. I didn't know much of Solancia's language, only a few simple words, but judging from the young elven youth's expression, I could roughly guess that he was telling me to leave the girl and not do anything despicable to her.

Encountering such a righteous elf truly moved me. After all, he had just forcibly pulled down the girl's pants and shaken a medicine bottle—actions that clearly belonged to a villain. No wonder someone wanted to be a hero and save the damsel in distress.

Normally, I'd actually be interested in playing around with this. First, I'd kick that hot-blooded, righteous young man to the ground, then rape Lindsay in front of him, and finally piss on his face to make him understand the dark side of society, turning him psychologically twisted—that would be a given.

However, this elven youth didn't come out alone; he was followed by a dozen or so elves in military uniforms, each looking furious, rubbing their fists together, and charging towards them. It was strange, really. These guys had been hiding behind the trees peeking, so why were they only coming out now? What were they doing hiding there? Were they trying to watch a pornographic scene?

Anyway, a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. These guys clearly had ill intentions towards me. If I was stupid enough to stay here, they'd soon be showing me the dark side of society.

"Lindsay, you can chat with these plant-like people about flowers and plants. We can talk about romance later. I'm making a quick getaway… no, I mean, I need to go back and take care of business."

With that, I hurried away, thinking Lindsay should be safe. But regarding her request, for safety's sake, it would be best to find out from Hua Gengsha to avoid any further problems with the medication.

"What? That girl wants you to do this kind of thing?"

Hua Gengsha stroked her chin after hearing my request, and pondered, "True Love is a product I painstakingly researched. It's not a problem to use it, but... using it on this little girl feels like a waste."

"Just make do. If you don't use it on her, are you going to use it on yourself?"

"No way. I've already said I can't sleep with her."

"Damn it, I'd rather sleep with a stray bitch on the street than sleep with you. Speaking of which, I've slept with female dwarves before, but I've never deflowered a female dwarf. In order to avoid any problems, I'd like you to help me make some more medicine, see if it will excite her and make her horny, or numb her and relieve pain, in short, just make her feel good."

"Making this kind of thing isn't a problem, but..." Hua Gengsha frowned, looking very troubled, and muttered, "This is like asking me to do a good deed, which I never do. Making this kind of thing is really a headache... Besides, you're a master of potions yourself, why do you need me to mix them?" "Hehe

, you're more skilled than me. If you do it, I'll have a chance to learn!"

"Then leave it to me, but I want to emphasize one more thing... I can't do it."

"...I'll say it again, even if I go to a roadside brothel, I won't go to you."

◆ Chapter 3: Howling Wind, Thunder and Lightning

Hua Gengsha agreed to help me mix the potion to deal with Lindsay, but it would take some time. As for where she got the ingredients, that was beyond my control.

Late at night, I could have gone to find the High Priest to fool around, but Leng Linglan came to me and asked me to go out with her, which I naturally couldn't refuse.

Leng Linglan asked me to go out in the middle of the night, certainly not for romance. In fact, I was also very curious about what she wanted to investigate. Since arriving in Solancia, everything I'd seen had been chaotic and absurd, and I needed to find out what was going on here as soon as possible.

Leng Linglan and I hid in the woods, observing the entire army. We found that the elves were simply resting normally, without any unusual movements. This puzzled us. Were the elves just wasting their time like this?

"Perhaps... Solancia isn't planning to mobilize troops?"

I found Leng Linglan's question puzzling. "Are you kidding? If they're not mobilizing troops, what's the point of having such a large force? A blood sacrifice needs offerings, right?"

"They might have had that plan, but now with us as an added variable, I don't think they'll be so brazen as to act recklessly tomorrow."

"That makes sense. So what are your plans? We can't exactly follow the High Priest, can we? That old man looks like a scoundrel; we wouldn't ask him to carry out anything important."

"They can run away, but they can't hide. No matter what their methods are, their ultimate goal is still that valley. We'll go directly to the valley and ambush them."

"Uh, isn't that a bit too daring? Dragon spirits are not to be trifled with, not to mention there might be some powerful monsters in that valley

. If we get too close, even we could be in danger." My concerns were common sense, but Leng Linglan, who was always used to taking risks, didn't care about these dangers at all. Carrying the Ba Hai, she wanted to rush into the valley. In the end, we reached an agreement not to enter the valley for the time being, but to observe the situation from the outside. If there was any movement inside, we could discover it in time.

Logically speaking, I think Leng Linglan's guess is correct. Solancia's target is this valley. No matter what they want to do, they have to start from here. But to achieve their goal without using the army, it means that the executor can replace the function of the army, that is, they have a heaven-shaking power that defies common sense and can fight against ten thousand. Although this is not as high as the level of Famit and Charlotte, it is definitely the strength of the five strongest.

"Strange, I've never heard of such a capable person in Solancia... Such a powerful figure wouldn't just suddenly appear, would he?"

I expressed my slight doubt, and Leng Linglan shook her head and said, "Some information about national-level forces cannot be completely trusted. Before witnessing it with our own eyes today, we had never heard of Solancia having such a horn artifact, such a young expert, or such an absurd high priest."

"Hey, but I've never heard of such a beautiful queen mother-in-law, and I even got to sleep with her... Just kidding, just a little joke, don't look so angry." I said, "To be honest, if you were to fight that young expert who was blowing the horn, what would the outcome be?"

Leng Linglan was silent for a moment, and finally shook her head and said, "It's hard to say. Although he showed great strength, I don't know how much of it came from his own abilities. Even if we calculate his overall strength when using the horn, we have to see if the horn has any advantage against dragons... As it stands, I'm not as good as him, but I might be able to win in actual combat."

These words were very honest, the judgment was very objective, neither humble nor arrogant, and they were completely useless, so I took them as a very pertinent piece of nonsense.

"There's movement. Look at the sky over there, it's strange..."

In the darkness, Leng Linglan noticed the strange phenomenon in the sky. There was no wind around, but the clouds were rolling and a large patch of dark clouds was rapidly approaching the valley.

Leng Linglan said, "There's a strong evil aura in the dark clouds. These aren't ordinary clouds; there must be something malevolent within them."

I agreed with Leng Linglan's assessment. Whether it was a person or an object, something with extremely strong dark attributes, attracting a sky full of dark clouds to obscure the sky, flying through the air and approaching the valley at high speed—whatever its purpose, one thing was certain: Solancia had indeed come prepared. This powerful force capable of manipulating the clouds, if it were a divine artifact, would certainly be at the level of a creation artifact. And to unleash it to this extent, it would be extremely difficult without power at least at the eighth level.

"Their target is inside the canyon; we can't see anything from here," Leng Linglan said. "Let's go into the valley too, at least to see from the entrance."

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I felt the risk was worthwhile, so I agreed with Leng Linglan's suggestion, and we headed towards the valley entrance together. My martial arts skills were only at a basic level of self-defense, nowhere near Leng Linglan's, so she pulled me along.

Along the way, I frequently glanced at the dark clouds in the sky, discovering that this enormous cloud not only contained a strong evil aura, but also harbored numerous demonic creatures—fierce beasts, ferocious birds, evil spirits, and malevolent demons—baring their fangs and claws, appearing and disappearing intermittently, practically an army of demons, their power earth-shattering. As the dark cloud approached, the terrifying roars of the demons sent shivers down my spine.

Leng Linglan exclaimed, "How powerful! I've never seen magic like this before. This must be ultimate magic. I never imagined that Solancia harbored such a formidable figure. I wonder what this magic is called?"

"...Dark Ultimate Magic - Howling Wind."

"What did you say?"

"Nothing. Don't go into the canyon. Just watch from the entrance, or you'll get caught in the crossfire."

Leng Linglan agreed. When the massive black clouds finally reached directly above the valley, we arrived at the entrance. We saw the evil spirits and dragons within the valley awakened from their slumber, letting out ferocious roars as they looked up at the black clouds.

Then, as if a huge hole had been torn in the sky, the black clouds transformed into a massive, surging torrent, carrying thousands upon thousands of demons, large and small, into the canyon. Evil against evil, they didn't engage in a friendly dance; instead, a brutal scene of survival of the fittest unfolded, and a fierce, bloody battle ensued.

Using the word "bloody" to describe it would be somewhat inaccurate, because the undead monsters in the canyon, such as dragon spirits and skeleton demons, have no flesh or blood. Even if their skeletons are shattered, not a single drop of blood will flow. As for zombies and undead, their blood has long since congealed, and what flows out after being dismembered... can hardly be called fresh blood.

But no matter what adjective is used, it cannot change the fact that this war was brutal. Countless demons attacked and tore at each other, and victory or defeat, life or death, was decided in an instant. The losers were instantly crushed. In the dark world, there is no mercy in the survival of the fittest. The losers not only had no chance of escape, but their bodies were also crushed, and even their souls and essences were absorbed, never to be redeemed.

The tragic scene unfolded before Leng Linglan and me. The army of tens of thousands of demons was indeed terrifying. The individual demons were not to be underestimated, and together they were an unparalleled army of ants. Although the dragon spirits were the pinnacle of undead monsters, when hordes of human-faced birds, demon-headed moths, and crimson corpse demons surged forward relentlessly, braving the raging winds and flames summoned by the dragon spirits, they too could not withstand the onslaught.

"Roar!"

One dragon spirit let out a painful howl. Its once pale bones had turned black, covered and gnawed by countless tiny demonic insects. It unleashed its magic, summoning a bolt of lightning that crashed down. Where the lightning struck, the demonic insects clinging to its bones were killed or detached, but the bones themselves were cracked.

Similar scenes continued to unfold. The dragon spirits were indeed terrifying evil beings. While the thousands of monsters from the black clouds could not effectively inflict fatal damage on them, under their frenzied onslaught, the wounds and cracks on the bodies of more than ten dragon spirits multiplied. As for the other evil creatures in the valley, they were suffering annihilation in this fierce battle, rapidly reducing their numbers in a near-mutual destruction with the monsters from the black clouds.

Leng Linglan and I hid at the valley entrance, spying on the scene. We were both horrified by what we saw. The brutality of the war was beyond our imagination. This wasn't a one-sided massacre; it was a race to the death.

"Life and death... a magnificent exchange of lives happens in an instant. From a purely spectator's perspective, this scene is truly beautiful." "

I didn't realize you had such a poetic talent. I don't think any of this is beautiful. All war is ugly..."

"Oh, Second Princess, after so many years on the battlefield, don't you find it strange to say such things?"

I joked in a low voice, trying not to let Leng Linglan discover my excitement.

The howling wind was the ultimate magic of the dark element. Regardless of the element, ultimate magic requires a huge amount of magic power to activate. Anyone capable of activating ultimate magic single-handedly is already at the level of the strongest. I truly couldn't understand how such a master could suddenly appear in Solancia.

However, this wasn't the reason for my excitement. What truly terrified me was the nature of this ultimate magic itself. When I first saw that vast expanse of black clouds, I didn't realize its significance. It wasn't until I discovered the demon within the clouds and confirmed it was ultimate magic that I suddenly awoke to my senses.

The massive black clouds moved at high speed, breaching cities and fortresses with earth-shattering destructive power. It was the same situation years ago—the same massive black clouds, the same howling wind—that annihilated Phoenix Island in a single day!

Back then, this "Howling Wind" technique was unleashed by members of the Black Dragon Society, and it's even highly likely that the Black Dragon King himself cast it, destroying Phoenix Island in a single battle and altering the history of the Feathered Clan's dominance over the Southern Barbarians. But the Black Dragon King and the Black Witch Goddess are long gone, and the Black Magic Kingdom of Ishtar is dwindling in talent. For a moment, I truly couldn't imagine who in the world today was so powerful as to unleash this "Howling Wind."

In any case, regarding what was happening before my eyes, only one image remained in my mind: a sinister and terrifying black dragon, swirling and soaring, emitting an astonishing roar.

"...The Black Dragon Society..."

I murmured in surprise. Leng Linglan didn't hear me. Shocked by the chaotic battle of monsters in the valley, she slowly recovered and assessed the outcome of the war.

"It should... be a mutual destruction, right?"

"If we don't consider the dragon essence, then that's true. But if we take the dragon essence into account, these battles are just a prelude, preparation for the attacks to come."

I said confidently. Recalling the destruction of Phoenix Island, I remembered the dark magic "Howling Wind," which first released thousands of monsters for a frontal attack, while simultaneously launching multiple attribute attacks, including a petrification effect.

Petrification is a rather vicious attack technique in magic, but petrifying a living being is not an easy task. Simply put, even if you throw a large fireball, the target will run away, let alone stand there dumbfounded and turn into a stone statue.

In the common perception, petrification magic, once it takes effect, will quickly turn a person into a stone statue from head to toe. However, from the perspective of the spellcaster, although the petrification process is fast, it is not entirely impossible to escape. As long as protective magic or barriers are activated simultaneously, it is possible to break the petrification spell. If one is also equipped with a petrification-resistant artifact, the result will be even more effective.

Even martial artists have methods to break petrification magic. For an ordinary martial artist, encountering petrification magic is certainly a dead end, forced to stand as a stone statue for hundreds or even thousands of years. However, for a top-level expert, as long as they can dash out at top speed for hundreds or even thousands of feet in the instant the petrification spell takes effect, leaving the magic range, the petrified parts will recover, and the magic will be destroyed because it has lost its target.

Even petrifying a single target is this difficult, let alone a massive surge of black clouds petrifying all creatures beneath it. This is an impossible task, unless… a wave attack is launched before the petrification spell, injuring or crippling enemies within the target area. They don't need to be fatally wounded; as long as they lose their defensive capabilities or even have some weakened strength, the subsequent large-scale petrification spell will take effect.

Therefore, the first half of the howling wind's attack is preparation for the large-scale petrification that follows. When the battle reaches its most intense moment, that's when the petrifying winds are raging.

"Watch out! It's coming!"

I'm so glad my initial judgment was correct; I only watched the battle from the valley entrance with Leng Linglan. Otherwise, if the petrifying winds had blown in, we would both have been killed.

With a whooshing sound, the dark clouds hanging high in the sky, like a taut black thread, were rapidly pulled down, covering the entire valley. Instantly, screams of agony erupted, the wails of various creatures rising and falling, endless and incessant. But one thing was the same: none of the screams lasted until the end.

As petrification was complete, the monsters that had turned to stone could no longer howl. At this rate, it was only a matter of time before the entire valley became a stone valley.

However, as the battle drew to a close, I noticed abnormal fluctuations in the surrounding magical energy. Looking up, I was shocked to see two figures floating and standing at the edge of the dark clouds in the sky.

Seeing someone floating there wasn't surprising; after all, the howling winds wouldn't start for no reason, there must be a caster. But… two people? Who was the other one?

The distance was too great, and the dark clouds obscured the view, so neither Leng Linglan nor I could see clearly. However, we could still recognize one of them—it was Lehman, the third prince of Solancia. The other person beside him was shrouded in shadow, seemingly a woman.

"Did you notice?" Leng Linglan whispered. "The magical fluctuations didn't come from Lehman. The howling winds were cast by the woman beside him."

"Hmm, that's understandable. Otherwise, if it were revealed that the third prince of Solancia practiced dark magic and was highly skilled, Solancia would be in chaos."

Before I could finish speaking, the situation suddenly changed. Lehman, high in the sky, picked up his horn and blew it forcefully.

The horn's power activated silently, unleashing a powerful sonic shockwave that swept across the valley, whipping up a fierce wind that swirled and lashed at the face like knives. The wind blades sliced through every inch of the valley's land, utterly annihilating even the heavily wounded, yet not completely petrified, higher-level demons who were still desperately resisting. The

howling wind, though powerful, was not enough to wipe out the dragon spirits in one fell swoop. In our vision, the dragon spirits, their bones already cracked or even shattered, were resisting petrification with their remaining magic power. The onslaught of the wind blades was the merciless final blow. We heard the dragon spirits' unwilling, resentful howls as they were pulverized in the swirling wind.

"The mere stirring of wind elements wouldn't be this powerful; that horn must possess dragon-slaying properties."

"I've thought about what you said a few times, but when I looked through the records, it seemed that among the seven sacred artifacts of creation, only the Dragon Slayer Blade possessed dragon-slaying properties. If there were other dragon-slaying artifacts, it shouldn't be... uh!"

The magical fluctuations in the entire space underwent a dramatic change. I quickly looked up and was shocked to see Lehman in the sky spreading his arms out, as if embracing something, frantically absorbing the yin energy of the valley.

This valley was inherently an extremely yin place, inhabited by various undead evil spirits for years, making it extremely malevolent. If a black magic practitioner lived here, absorbing the yin energy of the valley every day would be of great help. What Lehman was doing now was to absorb all the yin energy in the valley at once. If he were a dark magic practitioner, he would definitely benefit greatly, and judging from this situation, I did suspect that he was a dark magic practitioner.

"Lehman... he actually did something like this?"

I shared Leng Linglan's shock. Slaughtering dark creatures and absorbing their yin energy—this wasn't something that could be done simply through ruthlessness, viciousness, or shamelessness. If one's cultivation was insufficient, forcibly absorbing so much yin energy would absolutely result in self-destruction.

More than ten dragon spirits, coupled with the intense yin energy in the valley—absorbing all of this in one go was impossible for anyone but an exceptionally powerful individual. Especially since absorbing yin energy had nothing to do with blowing a horn; it was entirely a matter of personal strength.

I wasn't particularly interested in knowing why Lehman could do such a thing. After all, there were many hidden talents in this world, and many people liked to conceal their abilities. But judging from the current situation, my chances of becoming enemies with this Third Prince were high. If we encountered him, my current strength was completely insufficient to resist, and the chances of death were high. It was more important to devise a countermeasure as soon as possible.

Just as I was trying to pull Leng Linglan away to retreat, the situation in the valley suddenly changed again. Although I couldn't see the exact location, a certain spot in the valley suddenly emitted an extremely powerful attraction, beginning to absorb the evil energy permeating the entire valley. Moreover, it wasn't just absorbing it; it was also competing with Lehman, vying to drain all the evil energy from the valley.

"What is that? Ah! I understand."

Not only did Leng Linglan understand, but at the same time she exclaimed "Ah," I also realized this. Lehman had gone to great lengths, mobilizing over ten thousand troops here, not just to absorb the evil energy of this place to boost his own cultivation. There must be some strange object in this valley that he wanted to obtain.

I didn't know what that strange object was, but it was definitely something extraordinary. The balance that had been maintained during the struggle was broken, and malevolent energy surged into the depths of the valley. Lehman was at a disadvantage in this competition; the malevolent energy he wanted to absorb was snatched away by the object in the valley. The speed was incredible; within the short span of a few dozen seconds after the balance was broken, the malevolent energy permeating the entire valley was completely absorbed.

(What kind of thing is so powerful? Damn it, this isn't Ishtar, how can such an evil thing exist here? I

've encountered something supernatural this time.) I was astonished, because later, the malevolent energy seemed to have its own consciousness, actively flowing towards the object in the valley like ants to honey. This magnetic effect only meant one thing: that object was not only powerful in energy, but also belonged to darkness and was extremely evil, which was why it resonated with the malevolent energy so strongly.

Allowing something of dark nature to absorb such a massive amount of malevolent energy is tantamount to holding several large-scale blood sacrifices in succession. The consequences are obvious—it's definitely not a good thing. This moment made me very uneasy; I didn't know whether to gloat for Rayman or cheer him on.

Rayman, high in the sky, seemed furious about this situation, but I believed he already knew of that thing's existence. Just before the malevolent energy was completely absorbed, Rayman transformed into a streak of blue light and shot straight into the depths of the valley. Judging by his aggressive approach, he probably intended to do something to that thing.

However, whatever Rayman wanted to do, he didn't succeed. A few seconds after he transformed into blue light and hurtled into the valley, the blue light shot back into the sky at an even faster speed. I saw Rayman floating high in the sky again, though his figure was somewhat unsteady, as if he had just suffered a great loss.

Leng Linglan asked, "What's hidden in the valley? Even Lehman was defeated? Is it a person? Or something?"

I shook my head and said, "Who knows what it is? Anyway, I don't have the ability to investigate, and I suppose you don't either. So instead of wasting time talking here, we might as well run for our lives."

"Run for our lives? Why?"

"Hey! He has the strength of a top-tier expert, and he has a master of dark magic as an assistant. He's standing high up, you don't think he didn't notice us, do you? He might have suffered because of that thing in the valley, but if he wanted to take it out on us, he could easily make us suffer too."

Leng Linglan didn't protest my words. Almost as soon as I finished speaking, lightning flashed across the sky, and a bolt of lightning struck down from the heavens.

Lehman had, of course, already noticed us. Standing so high in the air, it would have been easy for him to organize the surrounding free ions to create lightning. With the elves' supersensory perception of natural elements, he didn't even need to chant a spell to throw lightning down.

The procedure for unleashing the lightning was casual, but the power of this strike, propelled by immense strength, was extraordinary. Although Leng Linglan grabbed me and ran immediately, judging from the momentum, I didn't think we could escape safely.

Leng Linglan also realized this and slowed down, raising her arm to unleash her Overlord's Sea attack to block the lightning. This move was extremely dangerous, but better than waiting to die. Besides Leng Linglan's efforts, I was also secretly preparing, hoping to avoid this calamity.

Neither of our efforts were useful, because the lightning bolt vanished without a trace before it even hit us. This sudden accident surprised not only us, but probably even Lehman himself.

Such a massive lightning bolt wouldn't disappear for no reason unless someone came to our aid. In the darkness, we couldn't clearly find our target, but because Lehman was looking in a certain direction, we followed his gaze and finally saw the figure on a mountaintop.

It was clearly a woman. Although the distance was too great and her features were obscured in the darkness, we could still see her cloak billowing behind her, one leg bent and extended forward, one hand supporting her chin, and the other holding an object that resembled a blade or sword. Intense lightning was emanating from that object; it seemed she had absorbed and released the lightning.

We couldn't see the woman's face, but we knew she must be very beautiful. Strangely enough, the mere sight of her bent leg on the rocks, her cloak billowing behind her, was incredibly alluring. Especially the graceful curves of her legs and hips, clearly visible even from miles away in the flashes of lightning—sexy, fiery, and utterly captivating.

She wasn't just standing; the way she positioned herself—one leg bent on the rocks, one hand touching her chin—while gazing upwards, exuded a self-respecting and proud elegance that was incredibly captivating. This was rare, because beautiful women were easy to find, but a beautiful woman with such charm was one in a million. What was even stranger was… she looked strangely familiar.

(How could she look familiar when I couldn't see her face? This feeling was too odd. If I had to name a woman I recognized… could it be the old hag?)

Hua Gengsha was always mysterious, somewhat similar to the dark figure on the mountaintop, especially her ability to dispel lightning. If Hua Gengsha could do that, I wouldn't doubt it, but for that cold-blooded old hag to specifically come out and help me and Leng Linglan, unless she had suddenly lost her mind, was truly touching.

However, compared to us, Lehman probably didn't find this particularly moving. So, the dark magic witch beside him raised her hand, and the clouds swirled, lightning flashed, and Lehman struck again, unleashing a bolt of lightning several times stronger than before, instantly blasting the entire mountaintop apart. Smoke billowed, rocks crumbled, and the woman was nowhere to be seen.

Whether Hua Gengsha lived or died was beyond our control. The only thing Leng Linglan and I could do was leave the scene as quickly as possible; it would be quite troublesome if we were discovered here.

If Lehman were to act now, he could kill us, but he would also face a problem: the lightning that shattered the mountaintop was incredibly loud. Unless all the elves in the camp were dead, even a deaf person would hear the sound from a mile away. When the commotion at the camp started and large groups of soldiers began to rush over, Lehman could no longer linger.

What happened tonight absolutely cannot be made public. If it were, Lehman wouldn't have needed to sneak in at the crack of night, so he had to leave.

In the blink of an eye, Lehman and his assistant disappeared into the sky. After all, they came on the wind and left on clouds, their speed was top-notch, unlike the two of us who ran on foot, exhausted, and were even bumped into by a large group of people just as we were about to return to camp.

Because of my great reputation in Solancia, after those thousand-plus people surrounded Leng Linglan and me, their eyes gleamed with ill intent, seemingly considering whether to take the opportunity to kill us both.

Actually, they were overthinking it. If it were up to me, there was no need to include Leng Linglan in the calculations. If it were a real life-or-death struggle, my adopted sister would most likely have broken through alone, leaving me here to be riddled with arrows.

"Stop! Who dares to harm our honored guests? All of you, get out of here!"

Fortunately, at the most critical moment, my best friend in Solancia came to my rescue.

◆ Episode 4: Tailored Teaching. Special Internship

High Priest Bernanke arrived in a hurry, apparently awakened by the loud noise. He hadn't even had time to dress

properly before rushing over on horseback. Elves are a race that cherishes nature and rarely use horses as mounts unless absolutely necessary. However, the High Priest clearly hadn't inherited this virtue. Not only did he spur his horse on, but he also awkwardly fastened his belt and buttoned his clothes while still on horseback, nearly falling off in the process.

Considering the High Priest's favorite pastime and exercise, I could understand that he hadn't had time to dress properly and had to do so while riding. But what truly amazed me was that the two young attendants galloping behind his horse were also dressing while running… It seems that the capable are capable of anything. The High Priest offered me the beauty because he had other ways to amuse himself. This elven High Priest, who enjoys fantasy novels, has a wide range of interests, which I must admit I admire.

"What happened? Oh dear! Brother, what are you doing here? What if something happens to you?" The high priest hurriedly dismounted as soon as he saw me, grabbed my hand and shook it vigorously, asking me questions. I simply explained that I heard a loud noise in the valley, came out to check, and encountered these elf brothers on my way back.

"Oh, it's nothing. You are His Majesty's and my honored guest, how could I trouble you for such a trivial matter? Just say the word, and I'll send someone to take care of it for you."

The High Priest's sincerity was truly touching. It's funny, though. I've been flattered before, but never by someone of such high rank. Bernanke is second only to the Emperor in Solancia, and to be treated with such near-flattery was quite... a bit...

"Then please send someone to the valley to see what's inside. Also, please give me a reply as soon as possible to the person I asked you to find. I'm getting impatient." "

Of course, of course. You should get some rest. There's a grand banquet tomorrow, with fine wine, delicious food, and beautiful women. If you don't sleep well tonight, you won't be able to enjoy it tomorrow."

With the High Priest's help, Leng Linglan and I left calmly, heading towards our camp. On the way, Leng Linglan lowered her head in thought, and pondered, "...I didn't expect Lehman to actually try to kill us."

"I don't care. Anyway, there are always people trying to kill me wherever I go. It's just that you, Princess Leng, will suffer a bit because of me. He doesn't know who you are, so he'll just bomb you along with him."

"You're really lucky. You always have experts helping you wherever you go. That lightning strike just now was indeed hard to avoid. If it weren't for an expert appearing and neutralizing the lightning, we wouldn't have been able to escape unscathed."

"Hey, you're wrong about that. It's not that I'm lucky and always have experts helping me wherever I go. It's that I deliberately choose places where there are experts, which greatly increases my chances of survival."

"You're really confident. Do you know who that expert is? She neutralized such strong lightning with a flick of her wrist. Such ability is rare in the world. She can rival the strongest. But...I really can't think of who it is."

"Hey, who else could it be? Isn't it her?"

I pointed, pointing to Hua Gengsha who was walking towards us.

"What are you doing? Pointing at people like that is very impolite. Do you want to die?"

Ignoring Hua Gengsha's cold expression, I nudged her and laughed, "Stop pretending. Didn't you just help us? Hey? You came back from the mountain pretty quickly. Did you get hit by the second lightning strike?"

"What mountain? Did you just come down the mountain? I've been here the whole time. You asked me to help prepare medicine, but we're short on materials and have to use substitutes. I'm swamped. I don't have time to go out and do side jobs. Don't blame me if anything happens to you."

Hua Gengsha denied it outright. I found it strange and was about to ask again when Leng Linglan shook her head and said, "It's not her. Although I couldn't see the person's face clearly, the body type is different. It can't be her."

Leng Linglan's eyesight is always more accurate than mine. If she said that, then she must be right. The mysterious female expert from earlier was not Hua Gengsha. However, if it wasn't Hua Gengsha, then who was it? Why does she look familiar? Among the female experts I know, there isn't anyone who fits the criteria.

"I'm here to tell you that just now, a strong wind swept through the entire military camp, and the dark energy was extremely strong. Someone was casting ultimate-scale black magic."

Hua Gengsha said, "Dark magic of this level is usually performed with blood sacrifices. To conceal our actions, we can't just carry out a massacre here, but if I'm not mistaken, those wounded soldiers from the battlefield during the day, regardless of their severity, are probably all dead by now."

We were shocked to hear this. The battle during the day had resulted in heavy casualties. The number of dead was manageable, but there were at least five or six thousand wounded. If all these wounded died overnight, the army would be wiped out by more than half, an extremely devastating loss.

(Just as I thought, using the Howling Wind requires a considerable number of blood sacrifices. Lehman sacrificed the lives of all the wounded soldiers in the camp to have the energy to unleash the Howling Wind... Damn, that's ruthless.)

In this situation, we pondered Lehman's motives and the secrets of that valley, but Leng Linglan's mind was elsewhere. She hesitated for a long time before asking, "Is there any way to save those elven soldiers who became blood sacrifices?"

This was naturally a very stupid question, but before I could answer, Hua Gengsha had already taken care of it.

"Of course there is."

What?

"Go down and ask Yama, the King of Hell. If he says there is, then it really is." Hua Gengsha said, "Do you need me to send you down now? Go quickly and come back quickly, try to be back before dawn."

Leng Linglan probably doesn't like being teased. Given her status and her usual domineering nature, probably no one would dare to joke with her. But when she encounters Hua Gengsha, she can only suppress any unpleasant things.

At this moment, screams came from all over the camp. The elves discovered that all their wounded companions had died, and a great commotion broke out. Only our side was quiet and silent. Hua Gengsha said that when the dark energy was unusually strong, she promptly set up a barrier to cover our entire area. Otherwise, with the continuous fierce battles during the day, many Bai family members would have been injured and would definitely have become blood sacrifices.

"You've worked hard. Bin Laden should pay you extra for overtime."

I said this and hurriedly bid farewell to Hua Gengsha, returning to my tent. As I walked, I recalled everything I had seen in the valley, especially Lehman's attack, which made me particularly uneasy.

(...Not only was he powerful, but his female assistant was also very skilled. Such powerful black magic is rare in this world. Lehman has many hidden talents around him, and he should not be underestimated... Sigh, the most troublesome thing is dealing with this kind of enemy. They are wealthy and powerful, and they always fight group battles. It's not easy to even assassinate them.)

The thought of clashing with this person again soon gave me a headache. As soon as I entered the tent, I found that someone was already waiting inside.

"General John, you're back?"

"Lindsay? What are you doing here?"

A young and beautiful dwarf girl sat on a sheepskin stool. When she saw me lift the curtain and enter, she smiled, her snow-white teeth gleaming in the darkness.

"I've been waiting for you to come back, General John. Are you ready?"

"Me? Uh, I'm still missing a little something. I can't do it now." I said, "By the way, were you free this afternoon? Did those elves gang rape you?"

"No way! They're all very upright soldiers! I spent the whole afternoon in the forest studying flowers and plants. Hehe, Lindsay used to be very good at planting flowers and trees back home. Don't let my small size and strength fool you; I usually help with the fields. We don't even need to buy vegetables from the market."

The dwarf girl's eyes sparkled when she talked about farming, and she became very energetic. I couldn't help but sigh, "Sigh, you're really neglecting your duties. Every dwarf I know is skilled in blacksmithing and forging. They have a great set of skills in crafting things. What dwarf only thinks about planting like you?"

"But... seeing the flowers and plants in the fields growing so well and full of vitality, I'm really happy. I'm excited from the bottom of my heart!"

"Really? So if I make your chrysanthemum bloom beautifully tomorrow, will you get excited right from your asshole?"

"Uh... what do you mean?"

Most people would probably be angry at this point because of the humiliation, but Lindsay clearly didn't understand what I meant. She just turned her head to think, looking confused, without any reaction, making me feel like I was talking to a brick wall.

"Sigh, how boring... someone like you can only be sent here for a political marriage. If you were still in Rosetta, I don't know what man would want you."

"Hmph, General John underestimates people. There are people who like Lindsay."

Lindsay said with her hands on her hips, looking indignant, which made me want to tease her.

"Oh? Who is it? Although I don't know who he is, he must be a very compassionate person who tells white lies."

"It's one of those soldiers I was talking to this afternoon. There was a young soldier with freckles on his face who said he liked me and even gave me flowers."

Lindsay said, waving a wild rose in her hand at me. It was just a very ordinary flower, but I could tell she really liked the gift, which made me a little dumbfounded. I didn't expect this silly girl to ask me to help her lose her virginity while someone was giving her flowers outside. I really didn't realize she was so popular and charming.

"Hey, it seems like you might..." I suddenly noticed someone approaching outside and quickly gestured for Lindsay to stop talking and find a place to hide.

Lindsay nodded, but there wasn't much to hide in the tent except for a large trunk and a wooden bed. After a brief moment's thought, Lindsay hid under the bed. I pretended nothing had happened, and then I saw the tent flap lift, revealing a graceful and beautiful figure who quietly entered.

(She's here! The power of true love is invincible!)

Ever since Dai Meisi swallowed the Moon Jade, I had anticipated that she would come to me in secret. Because she knew nothing about Leng Linglan, she could only obtain information from me to alleviate her "pain of unrequited love." Sooner or later, she would come knocking.

Of course, another possibility was that she couldn't bear the torment of passion and went directly to Leng Linglan to strip naked and offer herself. If that really happened, then… Leng Linglan would be in trouble. I'd better just pretend I knew nothing.

Although she arrived secretly in the dead of night, Demetheus was meticulously dressed. She wore a light dusting of powder, jeweled earrings and hairpins, and even a luxurious leather coat with a fox fur collar, exuding an air of elegance and nobility surpassing even that of human noblewomen.

However, I remembered that according to elven beliefs, wearing luxurious clothing obtained from the cruelty of creatures, such as fox fur and other furs, was highly despised by elves. Demetheus knew this yet still wore it, suggesting she didn't place much importance on traditional rules and morality, which wasn't surprising.

"General Farrell..."

"Oh, Madam's late arrival must be for important business. What can I do for you?"

"I have two things I hope the General can help with. The first..." Demetheus's eyes flickered, and although the tent was dimly lit, it suddenly seemed to become magnificent.

"In the chaos just now, I accidentally bumped into one of the general's officers. We parted in a hurry, and I don't even know his name. I wonder if you could introduce me?"

Demetheus, having an affair with the king's son-in-law and an ambiguous relationship with the high priest, was clearly a woman of many experiences in the ways of the world, as evidenced by her encounter with me earlier. Yet, as she spoke, she blushed, revealing a girlish charm that was truly captivating, making me sincerely praise Hua Gengsha's miraculous potion.

"That's not difficult. And the second matter?"

"The second thing... this is inconvenient to tell the general. You can only tell him after you see that officer."

Dai Meisi said with a shy smile, alluring and graceful, but I cursed inwardly.

What do you mean, something that can only be said to Leng Linglan? Ninety-nine percent of the time, she's offering herself up, asking for sex. How could Leng Linglan possibly help with something like that? Besides, I was the one who gave her the drug. It was just a slight accident that caused this woman to mistake her lover. Now she's head over heels in love, her heart throbbing. Not only does she not thank me, but she actually wants to bypass me and go find Leng Linglan. She really looks down on me.

However, even if I wanted to do something, this time and place wouldn't be appropriate. Not to mention, there's a little Lindsay hiding under the bed. If I forced myself on this beautiful woman, wouldn't that make her look ridiculous and be laughed at by Lindsay? That wouldn't be very interesting.

Thinking of this, I sighed repeatedly, got up and prepared to lead Dai Meisi out, hand her over to Leng Linglan to deal with, and give up this excellent opportunity to feast on her. However, after taking a few steps, I suddenly had a thought.

(Wait, why do I have to act like this is something shameful? This woman usually eats sex like it's her meal, and the one under the bed is practically begging me to take her virginity. If I'm still hesitant and timid, wouldn't that be too unmanly?)

Thinking of this, I immediately changed my mind. Holding Dai Meisi's hand, I lewdly said, "Taking you to meet my brother is naturally no problem, but it's not right to throw the matchmaker over the wall after the bride is married. I wonder how you will thank your matchmaker?"

Dai Meisi seemed a little surprised when she heard this: "General, you just... you want to... so soon..."

"Hahaha, our family is famous in this area. This little thing is nothing. You really underestimate the Farrell family."

I laughed, took off the fox fur around Dai Meisi's neck, and then took off half of her expensive leather coat, which just restricted her arm movements. Before she could react, I pushed her to the side of the bed and laid her on her back.

I didn't mishear; there was indeed a thud from under the bed. It seemed the dwarf girl had been startled and bumped her head on the bed frame, but Demetheus, in her panic, hadn't noticed.

Solancia is located in the north, and the nighttime temperature is actually quite cold. Demetheus's cultivation was limited; once the fur was removed, her shoulders were exposed and she immediately felt the cold. Instinctively, she leaned into my arms. However, this beautiful woman was hardly a virtuous woman. Her arms were bound by the fur, making it difficult for her to move, but her outstretched arms still reached down to my crotch, touching my slightly erect penis through my trousers.

So considerate, it made things easier. I simply reached out and placed my hands on her full breasts, kneading them while admiring them closely.

Underneath the fur, Demetheus was only wearing close-fitting underwear, nothing else. Now, I had pulled the fur down to her waist, her hands tucked into her sleeves, the awkward position making her chest stand out even more.

Her white breasts bulged out from the tight white bra. Because of my kneading, one nipple was also exposed. The nipple wasn't large, but its bright red color was luscious and tempting, like a large red cherry. I couldn't resist and gave it a light flick. A moan immediately escaped Dai Meisi's lips.

The beautiful young woman, understanding and charming, thrust her breasts forward, welcoming my caresses without any resistance. I took her slightly parted lips into my mouth, letting my tongue slip inside and roughly swirling it around. One hand reached inside her fur coat, tracing down her smooth, creamy skin, across her flat stomach, and loosened her panties, wantonly caressing her crotch.

Just as I was enjoying myself, my left leg was tapped lightly. Looking down, I saw Lindsay, her face flushed, gesturing to me, trying to sneak away, but I gave her a stern look and pulled her back.

"Madam, close your eyes. I swear in the name of the Farrell family, I'll try something new with you later, and I'll make sure you enjoy it."

If I let Lindsay leave, tonight wouldn't be fun. I made Demethe lie down and close her eyes, then pulled Lindsay out from under the bed, ignoring her frantic shaking of her head in resistance. I made her lie between the lady's spread legs and whispered in her ear,

"This is a practice lesson. Learn a little so you won't be flustered later, and your first time will be memorable."

Of course, this was all nonsense, and even Lindsay looked at me with suspicion, but she didn't resist. Following my whispered instructions, she removed Demethe's stockings, pulled aside the beautiful woman's panties, revealing her wet vulva, and a sensual, decadent scent wafted over.

Lindsay obediently stuck out her tongue and began teasing between the pink folds of flesh. The noblewoman's scent and the fine, sticky fluid from her vulva were a real challenge for the dwarf girl, who was experiencing oral sex for the first time. But following my instructions, she licked and teased, her tongue occasionally flicking at the clitoris, her nose almost buried in the crevice, her tongue probing the lips, clumsily but earnestly teasing.

Even with her less-than-perfect licking, it was surprisingly stimulating for a beauty like Demetrius. Thinking about it, this was understandable; neither King Greens nor High Priest Bernanke would ever perform oral sex on her, and this was likely her first experience.

Lindsay licked a few more times, then, seemingly unable to bear it any longer, stopped, cupping the woman's large, white buttocks in her hands, and shook her head at me with a troubled expression.

I told Lindsay to back off and hide under the bed. I then wrapped my arms around Demisee's waist, flipped her over, and made her lie face down on the bed. Her hands were still tucked into her coat sleeves, and her plump buttocks were raised. I pulled Demisee's panties from behind and ripped them down to her ankles, exposing her fair buttocks.

"So round,"

I couldn't help but admire Demisee's sexy, plump buttocks. Then, I reached out and firmly grasped Demisee's two buttocks, kneading them forcefully, sometimes squeezing them together, sometimes forcefully spreading them apart, exposing the lady's anus. The clitoris, sensing the man's gaze, contracted even more tightly. Demisee flailed her arms, trying to cover herself, but to no avail.

I quickly unzipped my pants, pulled out my penis, rubbed it against Demies's honeyed lips a few times, and following the saliva left by Lindsay, thrust my lower body forward, the thick penis penetrating the beautiful woman's body, making her groan with pleasure.

"How is it? Is it bigger than His Majesty the King's?"

Demies only moaned, without speaking, but the honey-like fluid flowing from her lower body increased even more, I don't know what this meant.

My hands weren't idle either, first playing with Demies's plump buttocks, then lifting Demies's fur coat from behind, unhooking the beautiful woman's white bra, those peach-like snow-white breasts were immediately unprotected, I reached forward and began to play with those beautiful breasts.

With each powerful thrust, my lower abdomen slammed against Demetrius's round buttocks, producing a lewd "slap, slap" sound. Demetrius's eyes were tightly closed, her hands, unable to grasp anything, clenched tightly, and she let out a series of beautiful moans

, indulging in the pleasure brought by the vigorous thrusting. Just as I was enjoying myself, I suddenly noticed something strange at my feet. Lindsay had secretly crawled out from under the bed, trying to slip away. I had a wicked thought. Ignoring Demetrius's plaintive moans, I suddenly pulled out my penis, forced Lindsay to kneel down, and as she opened her mouth to speak, I took advantage of the situation and thrust my penis into her mouth.

"General... General Farrell, what's wrong with you? I'm having so much fun, where have you been..."

Demetrius moaned repeatedly, twisting her white, tender buttocks, anxiously begging me to enter her. Listening to her moans, my penis went in and out of the dwarf girl's small mouth, enjoying a different kind of pleasure.

Lindsay widened her eyes, looking annoyed, and glared at me while I thrust in her mouth. Although she didn't lick or suck with her tongue, her angry expression, seemingly resentful but not resentful, was the perfect aphrodisiac.

Honestly, although her face was still smeared with Demetrius's honey, her hair was disheveled, and she looked utterly disheveled, this was the most beautiful moment I'd ever seen her since I met her.

"Hey, you slut, what's the use of just talking? If you really want me to come in, then wiggle your ass!"

Enjoying the dwarf girl's little mouth, I didn't forget to deal with the elven beauty beside me.

Hearing me say this, Demetrius reluctantly wiggled her ass, actively searching for my penis. Seeing her take the initiative, I felt smug. I pressed one hand on Lindsay's forehead, thrusting my hips, while the other hand traced Demetrius's plump buttocks. I inserted a finger to her labia, then parted the two labia and inserted it into the elven beauty's body, using my finger instead of my penis. After only a few thrusts, Demetrius screamed loudly, and her lower body flowed with a lot of honey.

I reached out and slapped Demière's plump buttocks hard. The elastic flesh brought a surge of pleasure to my palm, and Demière's cry was tinged with pain. I heard it and continued slapping her mercilessly, leaving red handprints on the elven beauty's buttocks. Having

played with her for a while, it was time to wrap things up. I pulled my penis out of Lindsay's mouth. She looked relieved, a look of liberation on her face. She first made a face at me in anger, then covered her mouth and ran away without looking back.

Watching Lindsay's wobbly little bottom as she ran away, I suddenly felt that helping this silly little girl lose her virginity wasn't such a bad task after all.

However, for now, I should first deal with this love-starved, resentful woman.

"Ah! What's that sound? Who ran out? General Farrell, is that you?"

Hearing Lindsay run out, Demetheus panicked and asked repeatedly. She was face down, unable to see the commotion inside the tent, and was struggling to turn over to get a better look.

I freed the elven beauty's hands from their restraints, removed her fur coat, and turned her over so she lay flat on the bed, our eyes meeting.

"No one's here, madam. Let's get down to business!"

I said, lifting Demetheus's legs onto my shoulders, freeing my hands to grasp her full, snowy breasts and knead them, clockwise and counterclockwise, shaping them into various forms, rubbing the two nipples together.

A surge of stimulating lust coursed through her body, and Demetheus lost herself in pleasure, letting out cries of joy. I took the opportunity to thrust my penis into her overflowing flower valley again, beginning a new round of pumping.

Demi's body convulsed violently. I began to move my lower body, changing angles from time to time, thrusting my penis in and out, increasing the speed, mercilessly ravaging her tender, narrow vagina. Demi let out ecstatic moans, her hands tightly gripping my arms, her pink body involuntarily twisting up, down, left, and right, her beautiful breasts swaying like waves.

"Madam's cunt is so beautiful, look, so much water, does it feel good?"

I spread the beautiful woman's legs wide, completely exposing her lustful flower valley to both of our vision, watching my penis go in and out.

"So beautiful... ah... ah... ah."

Watching her private parts being penetrated and splashed with lustful fluid, Demi nodded irrationally. With increasingly rapid moans, she gasped for breath, arched her back and hugged my head, her breasts pressed against my chest, her legs lowered and crossed over my back, her jade-like toes spread out in pleasure, emitting a series of cries.

I quickly covered her lips with mine, trying to stop her cries from getting out, but my tongue was firmly sucked in by Dai Meisi. I noticed her whole body starting to convulse, knowing she was about to climax. No longer wanting to suppress my desire, I thrust my penis in and out like a beast, pounding against her deepest clitoris.

At that moment, I was enjoying Dai Meisi's body on the bed, my penis moving in and out of the beautiful woman's tight vagina. I felt the heat of her vagina, the walls of her vagina enveloping my penis, an indescribable pleasure. The feeling of squeezing her full, elastic buttocks intensified the waves of pleasure.

So, I gripped Dai Meisi's buttocks tightly with both hands and thrust a dozen times. With the final, powerful thrust, my penis almost reached her clitoris, and my glans released, releasing a large amount of my essence into her womb. I felt the intense contractions of her uterus, and with her loud moans, I knew she had also reached climax.

After ejaculating, I slowly withdrew my semi-erect penis, watching the white, cloudy liquid flow out rapidly. Still feeling unsatisfied, I couldn't help but slap Dai Meisi's large, white buttocks hard, lewdly laughing, "Madam is truly blessed, with such round buttocks, she's good at bearing children, no wonder she gave birth to such a beautiful daughter."

◆ Chapter 5: Rumors and Jests. Illusion and Reality

After finishing with the elven beauty, my job was to help the lovers get together, taking Dai Meisi to Leng's eldest sister's camp so the two lovers could have a good time and strengthen their relationship.

I had already spoken with Leng Linglan beforehand, asking her to prioritize the greater good, sacrifice her own interests for the greater good, and use a little grievance to obtain valuable information. If we could use the "handsome man trap" to bewitch Dai Meisi and make her our inside man, this surprise attack would greatly catch the enemy off guard.

This was a task that had to be done, and no one else could replace her. With Leng Linglan's consistently righteous personality, no matter how much she disliked it, she could only do it without hesitation. When she lifted the tent flap to let Demetrius in, her face was terrifyingly sour, but she still managed to get her in. Afterwards, I vaguely heard a commotion inside the tent, along with a woman's crying, which really puzzled me.

(My sister, she shouldn't be a psychopath, right? Uh, she is a psychopath, but... could she be too psychopathic?)

I was curious about the faint crying and wanted to peek, but suddenly someone kicked me from behind. I turned around and saw Lindsay with a sulky expression.

"You big pervert!"

The dwarf girl's angry expression was quite beautiful, and I found it amusing, so I couldn't help but laugh. This only made Lindsay even angrier, and she kicked my thigh hard again.

"What did you just put in my mouth? It's disgusting."

"Huh? This disgusts you? You still want to lose your virginity? When we're having real sex, there are far more disgusting things than this."

When I said that, Lindsay's expression turned ugly, and she showed a look of fear, but she quickly laughed boldly again.

"No, it's okay. There'll be medicine to take later. After taking True Love, you won't feel pain or nausea anymore, right?"

Lindsay's question was naive. I chuckled and shook my head, casually saying, "After taking the medicine, you won't feel pain or nausea, but if you exclude those things, then it's not True Love."

"Not True Love... I don't understand. Is True Love something painful and nauseating?"

"Ha, that's exactly it. True Love is such a messy thing. But it seems I said something I shouldn't have today."

I laughed and, taking advantage of Lindsay's distraction, gave her a hard slap on her bottom. Besides testing the firmness of her buttocks, I deliberately let my finger slide down her butt crack.

This action was probably too much for Lindsay. She screamed and jumped aside, taking a few steps and almost falling. Then she made a face at me and ran away quickly.

I was about to chase after her and joke around with the dwarf girl again, but someone lifted the curtain and came out. I turned around and saw Dai Meisi rushing out, as if afraid of being seen, and leaving without looking back. Then, Leng Linglan, dressed as a man, also came out, her expression grim, but her clothes were neat, not like she had just been through something.

"What's wrong? Girl, you finished so quickly?"

"...You're more trouble than you're worth! What kind of ridiculous idea did you come up with?"

"Why do you say that? Didn't she bring you to orgasm? Really? Of all the women I've met, she's one of the more skilled ones."

"Why is your mind always filled with this kind of thing? Do you have to talk about sex every three sentences? You've gone beyond being just lustful; you're downright perverted."

"The Farrell family is known for its perverted nature. Do I need to explain?"

Hearing this, Leng Linglan was speechless, shook her head, and said, "This woman asked me to help her save her daughter."

"What?"

"She said her daughter is being controlled, and she has no one else to turn to for help, so she asked me to rescue her daughter."

"What kind of nonsense is this? You two are complete strangers, and tonight is your first conversation. If it were a game of seduction or reverse seduction, that would be understandable, but why would she ask someone to save her daughter on the first date? This is completely illogical."

"Common sense, huh? If I had to put it bluntly, it's probably that true love makes people blind..."

Leng Linglan's casual remark was truly invaluable, but what I was more concerned about was what Dai Meisi had told Leng Linglan.

According to Dai Meisi, things seemed very strange. When the Golden Flower Federation held its Formula One Grand Prix, Bianca, with the support of the Second Prince Lunfiel, brought the culmination of Solancia's new technology to the Golden Flower Federation to participate, intending to win trophies and prizes and bring glory to her country. However, she unexpectedly returned defeated and humiliated.

In fact, based on my subsequent understanding, the main participants in that Grand Prix, both on and off the track, were all a bunch of monsters, hardly normal beings. Even if Lunfiel himself had participated, let alone Bianca, he would have been doomed. Bianca's defeat was not due to a lack of skill, so she couldn't be blamed.

With Lunfiel's wisdom, I believe he would have made the same judgment as me, but unfortunately... Bianca herself didn't think so.

My teacher, Famit Xiu Kamu, once said something very insightful: "Ninety-nine percent of the trouble in the world is caused by reckless women and clueless men." This statement is truly profound; it was even voted the number one quote in the Tracker's world, and has been passed down through the ages.

Bianca made this very mistake in this matter. In Alibuda, she was deeply humiliated by me, which was a huge blow; in the Golden Flower Federation, she failed to regain her dignity, and the mental impact was even more severe. In truth, she wasn't a renowned expert, not even a hair on the head of an expert; what did a little humiliation matter? However, this noble lady couldn't see this point. After these blows, she was on the verge of a mental breakdown, locking herself at home and training intensively.

In terms of talent, Bianca wasn't bad, but she wasn't exactly a genius either. Training step by step didn't yield much progress in a short time. In her eagerness for quick results, she was gradually seduced by darkness and turned to the evil path.

Bianca's lineage as a member of the Solancia royal family was no secret, but not every member of the royal family treated her like family, as Renfel did. According to Demees, Bianca had always been close to Renfel but had a long-standing feud with Lehman for unknown reasons. During Bianca's most disheartened period, Lehman suddenly began contacting her, and the two quickly became close. Eventually, Bianca even went to a place Lehman had indicated for training.

The content of that training remains unknown, but Bianca disappeared after receiving the training. Demees, anxious for her daughter, couldn't get any answers and even sent Renfel to demand her return from Lehman, but they returned empty-handed. It wasn't until later, through a shocking event, that Bianca's whereabouts were revealed.

On the night Renfel launched his surprise attack to destroy the Doomsday Dragon, a fierce battle ensued with the Guardians. Renfel held a slight advantage, but the arrival of an uninvited guest changed the tide of battle. In a state of extreme shock, Lunfiel was forced to fight Bianca, who had successfully undergone "training." Bianca, whose strength had greatly increased, was like a soulless killing machine, relentlessly attacking Lunfiel. Lunfiel, hesitant to strike, held back every move, and was ultimately shot through the chest by Bianca, critically wounded and on the verge of death. Only the sacrifice of his men allowed him to escape.

Demees overheard this and was terrified. Knowing her daughter had suffered such a terrible fate, she desperately wanted to rescue her but was utterly helpless. She could only weep in secret. This time, blinded by true love, she had unreasonably thrown such a crucial matter to Leng Linglan for help. Whether she would help her or not is another matter, but this was indeed very important information; at least we now know how Lunfiel met his end.

I laughed, "Oh, I never knew the underworld prince was such a siscon! He dotes on his sister so much, he'd even risk his life for her. I'm impressed."

Leng Linglan said, "Lehman's methods are quite similar to yours, both of you use these underhanded tricks to win."

I nodded, "Of course you have to use underhanded tricks to deal with the righteous. That's the only way it works. Otherwise, if I'm facing an upright person, I can only fight one-on-one, wouldn't I be a fool?"

"Are you confident you can beat Lehman?"

"His horn-blowing skills are so good, if we fought fair and square, he could blow us to death just by blowing his horn. Of course, we can only win by using underhanded tricks. But we know nothing about him. Besides knowing he can blow horns and is very evil, we have no information whatsoever. What are we going to do? At least we need to know ourselves and our enemy

before we can come up with a plan." I frowned, "Brad Laden is unreliable. Now I want to try to get information from Demetrius. Uh, you talked to Demetrius for a long time, but besides talking about saving your daughter, didn't you get any important information?"

"Yes, and I unexpectedly learned a very important piece of information: the true identity of the Black Dragon King?"

"...Isn't it just the Heart Lamp Hermit? Is there someone else?"

"Yes." Leng Linglan said decisively, "It's you."

"Me? How come I don't even know myself? Do I become John Farrell by day and the Black Dragon King by night? Do you think this is a funny joke?"

"It's not funny, and I'm not joking. At least Demetheus was very serious. She believes you are the Black Dragon King, possessing boundless dark power, which is why you can help her rescue her daughter. Strictly speaking, she's not asking me to save her, but asking me to ask you to help."

"You're not serious, are you? How does that woman know I'm the Black Dragon King? Who told her?" "

The High Priest and the King both told her separately, and they were very serious when they said it. What could be more convincing than that?"

"Those two are good-for-nothings. They don't read state secrets, they just read fantasy novels. They're brain-dead and psychopathic. How can you believe anything they say?"

I blurted out, realizing the gravity of the situation. Those two brain-dead and psychopathic individuals seemed to genuinely believe the rumor. There are plenty of idiots in the world who believe such rumors, but these two are, by their very nature, the king and high priest of a nation. Purely based on their status, no one would believe that the words of the King and High Priest of Solancia would be baseless. Even I found it hard to believe.

Realizing the situation was dire, I needed to quickly find someone to clarify things. I was about to go find the High Priest when Leng Linglan interjected, indicating that there might be a traitor among us, and we should be careful.

"A traitor among us? Which one are you referring to? It's not that I can't think of one, but I feel that anyone could betray us."

"That woman."

"Hmm, good answer."

I initially wanted to mock Leng Linglan for her ambiguous speech, but after a moment's thought, I realized she was referring to Charlotte. This female reporter was completely useless now; her only skill, interviewing and reporting, if she continued, would inevitably be reporting our scandals. We'd done so much to her; it would be strange if she didn't harbor resentment. Although she was still under my control for the time being, Yu Hong's case served as a warning. No one in this world can control another person forever.

"That woman is indeed a problem. What suggestions do you have? Kill her to silence her?"

"What nonsense are you spouting? I never said that!"

Leng Linglan glared angrily, but I laughed in response: "Yes, you didn't say it, you just hinted that I should do it directly. We're relatives, it's an unspoken understanding."

Ignoring Leng Linglan's anger, I hurriedly left to see the High Priest. This second-in-command of Solancia always manages to surprise me every time we meet. Since the elven soldiers guarding me dared not stop me, or perhaps didn't even want to, I stormed into the high priest's tent. There I saw this long-eared, white-bearded old man, squatting in a horse stance, one hand outstretched holding a book, the other inside his trousers, his hips swaying violently, emitting beast-like roars.

The red book in the high priest's hand seemed to be the "Great Rain Sutra," a manual of sexual techniques I had casually given him not long ago. For someone his age to be so studious was truly touching. But for the dignified high priest of Solancia to neglect practicing ultimate magic and secretly practice sexual techniques in his tent… if anyone saw this… well, let them all die. It wouldn't matter if they saw him; he could rape a female reporter naked in front of everyone, what else could he be afraid of?

"Hey, you old lecher, I have something to say to you."

"Oh, it's Big Brother, what can I do for you, old brother?"

Bernanke's brilliance lay not in speaking to me without batting an eye, nor in showing any shame about what was happening, but in the fact that while he was talking to me, he still held his penis in one hand and a book in the other, his waist swaying violently, as if he were afraid of wasting his training time. To be able to maintain lust to this extent, even in old age, he could earn the reputation of a master of lust.

To make it easier to talk, I asked him to send the soldiers away so that it would be just the two of us. I asked him why he valued me so much, and he said it was because I was the number one villain in the world, a super villain who couldn't be more evil than the worst, so of course I deserved Solancia's attention. I countered that I only slept with a lot of women, and I hadn't done any massacres or heinous crimes, so how could I be considered the number one villain in the world? The high priest then answered hesitantly.

"Because...brother, you're that kind of person."

"Which kind of person?"

"You've been causing trouble in the Golden Flower Federation, and you're so proud of yourself, which proves you're a big gay...uh, no need to get so angry. Actually, I've known your true identity for a long time."

The high priest nodded at me and laughed, "You're the leader of the Black Dragon Society, a powerful figure in your own right, and you're incredibly capable. You truly deserve the title of the number one villain in the world. Although the Black Dragon Society has fallen apart, you can fool others, but how could you fool me? You must have other schemes, using this to cover your tracks and act in secret. Hehe, I'm a good brother, even if I know your secret, I will never reveal it to anyone. Don't kill me to silence me."

Of course, I wouldn't kill Painan to silence him. In fact, I didn't have that ability at all. Although this old man was crazy and despicable, he was still the high priest of Solancia. His cultivation over several hundred years was extraordinary. If we were to fight seriously, even Leng Linglan might not be able to beat him. How could I possibly kill him?

However, this beautiful misunderstanding needed to be clarified first, so I solemnly stated, word by word, that I was not the Black Dragon King, and never had been.

Judging from the High Priest's expression, he didn't believe me at all, and even seemed to think I wasn't a good friend. I'd already gone this far, and it would be disloyal of me not to be honest with him.

"High Priest," I said, "it's not that I'm unwilling to be honest, it's just that you've completely misunderstood. Only gossip magazines would fabricate stories about me being the Black Dragon King. If you consult the intelligence agencies of Solancia and get a detailed report, you'll understand that I have absolutely no ability to be the Black Dragon King."

Because I was so serious, the High Priest's expression changed. He listened to my words as if struck by lightning, his expression growing increasingly astonished, his eyes widening like saucers.

"You...you...you really aren't the Black Dragon King?"

"I've never been. How could that be fake?"

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the high-ranking priest suddenly looked terrified and lunged at me fiercely. I thought he was coming to settle scores and we'd end up fighting, but instead, he grabbed my clothes and burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably, more heartbroken than if his father had died.

"Uh...what's wrong? Even if I'm not the Black Dragon King, there's no need to be this upset, is there? The disillusionment of an idol is part of life; there's no need to be so sad." "

Really? Doesn't the King usually read proper military reports? He actually believed that?"

"He doesn't read reports. Military reports are for the two princes. He and I read fantasy novels every day; he wouldn't understand those reports."

Sigh, why are there so many incompetent rulers in the world? The King of Alibuda was a scoundrel, and the King of Solancia was a birdman. Is it true that incompetent rulers are the norm in this world?

On another note, seeing a white-bearded old man crying like this is hardly a pleasant sight, especially since he was snotting his nose and tears all over me, making me want to kick him away. But what he said made me think of something.

"Wait, you really said that to King Greens?"

"Yes, His Majesty the King is eagerly awaiting your arrival. He can rely on you to handle all matters of state, family, and personal life. To show his sincerity, he even released his women for you to have your way with. If he finds out you're not the Black Dragon King, then... then I'll be utterly humiliated."

"Hey, then you can rest assured, because... I am the Black Dragon King."

"What?"

Shocked, the High Priest's expression turned completely blank, clearly unable to keep up with the rapid pace of events. After a long pause, he stammered, "You... you just said..."

"What did I just say? You take a fart seriously?" I whispered in the High Priest's ear, indicating that everything I had said was merely to test how much he knew and to gauge our mutual sincerity. In truth, my purpose in coming to Solancia was to befriend the King and conspire together. If His Majesty the King was kind enough, I would definitely make their dreams come true, because the Black Dragon King possessed extraordinary abilities.

Of course, having said all that, it's practically no different from a fraud ring. But the temptation before me is just too great. If I can successfully impersonate the Black Dragon King and gain the trust of the King and the High Priest, I can run rampant in Solancia. Although being exposed will lead to a terrible death, the risks outweigh the rewards, making it worth the try.

"Didn't you say that as long as we get the reports from our intelligence agencies, we'll know the truth? Why are you saying this now..."

"Damn it, what's the point of those military intelligence reports? Looking back at history, truly important classified information is almost always something that legitimate intelligence agencies can't uncover. If you really want Solancia to prosper, just throw those reports into the furnace."

My domineering attitude seemed to prove something to the High Priest. He nodded happily, indicating he would immediately take me to see King Greens to discuss important matters. The army had been delayed because Prince Lehman was on a mission, but that mission seemed to be completed, with only minor matters remaining. We could leave Lehman behind and set off first.

(Judging from the situation in the valley last night, things weren't resolved; Lehman had suffered a setback, right? If we set off, he could launch a full-scale attack on the valley to contact the strange object.)

I pondered this, just as I overheard the High Priest say that Lehman had recently contacted him, hoping he could lead his guests away as soon as possible. To ensure safety along the way and avoid assassination attempts, Lehman would even send his personal female bodyguard to protect the High Priest.

(A female bodyguard?)

I remembered something and asked about the bodyguard's identity. The High Priest knew nothing, but a clumsy answer clarified the situation for me.

"That beautiful bodyguard, is it Bianca?"

"Huh? No way? How come Bianca has horns on her head? It can't be her."

The answer was settled. Thinking about it, it was really absurd. Demetheus's intelligence channels were nothing more than the King and the High Priest. She must have learned about Bianca's transformation from these two. And the High Priest knew that Bianca had been transformed, but couldn't recognize the transformed Bianca. Was he like the perverted nuns of the Plantagenet Federation, recognizing people by their breasts?

Anyway, this was an opportunity. I made a request, hoping to have the beautiful bodyguard sent by Lehman for my use. The guise was to protect my safety, but in reality, it was to keep me company and sleep with me. I asked the High Priest to help arrange it.

These reasons were merely superficial. The real purpose was to study Lehman's methods of transformation. Since we were on opposing sides and both enjoyed playing the same tricks, studying his methods and techniques would be a good thing. Even if I wasn't capable enough, I could still involve the witch Hua Gengsha; I believed we could gain something from that.

However, my plan encountered an obstacle. The High Priest seemed hesitant about my request.

"This... if it were an ordinary woman, of course, there would be no problem, but... I can't just let you sleep with Lehman's woman. He hates you. If he finds out you slept with his guard, he'll definitely come after me."

The High Priest, who was usually very accommodating, reluctantly refused my request. But having begun to understand him, I knew to try a different approach: discussing benefits.

"Brother, I may be lustful, but I won't take your woman for nothing. If I'm putting you at risk, don't hesitate to ask if there's anything

I can do to help." I stated my conditions and then waited for the High Priest's response. He took the bait immediately, saying he needed my help with something.

"Brother, we elves don't deal with media. There aren't many reporters in all of Solancia. I've wanted to sleep with a reporter for a long time, but I've never had the chance. Could you grant me that wish and give me that female reporter?"

His request was simple and straightforward, making me hesitate. The High Priest wanted me to give him Charlotte, but it was precisely that word "sleep" that made me hesitant.

Charlotte had undoubtedly become a danger. If the High Priest wanted her dead, I would probably agree after a moment's thought. But judging from his attitude, it seemed he wanted to make her his sex slave for a long time, which could very well lead to unforeseen circumstances.

I tried to change the high priest's mind, but he was adamant. He refused to trade anything except Charlotte, even the witch as a bargaining chip. If the witch found out, it could be a catastrophe.

In the end, I had no choice but to agree, promising to make some preparations first and then come back later to exchange people. The high priest was so happy when he heard me agree that his eyes almost lit up. He grabbed my hand and shook and kissed it vigorously, as if I had done him a great favor.

"Hehe, brother, you don't want that female reporter anyway, so can I... make things a little more intense?"

"Who said I don't want her?"

"Oh, in the novels I usually read, once the protagonist's woman is with another man, the protagonist won't sleep with her again. You..."

"Well said, brother. I've always wondered why I never feel like I'm the protagonist in my life."

With a wry smile, I bid farewell to the high priest and went to prepare what he asked for. But at that moment, an elven officer arrived and reported military intelligence to the high priest.

The High Priest wore an expression of annoyance, showing no interest in military matters. He waved for the elven officer to leave. I was initially indifferent to the matter as well, but upon overhearing the officer mention "East Sea" and "Admiral Li," I was startled and stopped to listen to a few words.

The officer, seeing this, was about to remain silent, but the High Priest declared that I was an important guest and that nothing should be hidden from him, even top-secret information. He winked at me as he spoke, probably assuming that I, the "Black Dragon King," was interested in matters of the East Sea.

Although this military intelligence was unrelated to Solancia, the fact that it was specially delivered to the High Priest was certainly big news.

Li Huamei recently appeared in the East China Sea. Known for her elusive and secretive nature, she had disappeared without a trace since leaving Baghdad. Those familiar with her actions speculated that she was secretly plotting something. Upon her reappearance, she immediately announced that she had discovered the location of the remnants of the Black Dragon Society and would use all her strength to eliminate them in one decisive battle, thus restoring a bright future to the East China Sea.

To this end, the resistance army has begun mobilization and assembly, not only with Li Huamei herself personally overseeing the operation, but also reportedly using a powerful secret weapon to demonstrate its might in this battle. The true nature of this secret weapon remains unknown, but Li Huamei's announcement has already attracted the attention of various nations, who are all turning their gaze to the East China Sea, concerned about this final battle that is about to begin.
