Chapter 432: D158. Abstain/Color_2
Perhaps it was indeed the magic power purified by the Underground Core Fire from the Great Demon that created this unfrozen wetland.
However, at this mont, the Hero had no intention of delving into these academic issues; she was rely counting one by one the Magic Creatures moving within her Perception Range in the wetland, her face brimming with a smile.
—Not a single Goblin, none at all.
“Fantastic! Who knew the air could feel so fresh without Goblins!”
Having finally confird that there wasn’t even a trace of a Goblin within her Perception Range, the Hero contentedly closed her eyes, blissfully inhaling the pure breath of this clear world.
Although neither the sll nor magic power of ordinary Goblins reached the standard to pollute the environnt, this did not prevent the Hero from feeling a profound joy.
Behind the Hero, after a period of learning with the Maid Supervisor, the middle-aged Housekeeper, the Gleaming Scale Serpent, now possessing quite a proper deanor, was holding the reins of the military Chocobo, watching over the Queen with warm eyes.
Sensing the gaze from behind, the Hero’s cheeks turned slightly red, and she retracted her widely spread arms, coughing lightly.
“Um, so let’s set off then, first towards the snow-capped mountains, to look for Sister White Snake!”
[Sister White Snake’s Perception (50-Not in the mountains, 50 Will et on the way)]
D241=d241(10)=10
“But Sister White Snake seems to be very far away?”
In this uninhabited highland, let alone the road conditions, there simply weren’t any normal roads to speak of, an area that was not ant for Chocobo Cart travel.
But tis change, and now under the precise magical control of the Gleaming Scale Serpent, a narrow ice path ford under the wheels, allowing the Bird Carriage, which had an engraving of a lightness array, to move as if on flat ground.
At this mont, the Hero sitting in the driver’s seat of the Chocobo Cart, feeling the faint magic connection within, frowned, revealing lines that one would feel compelled to smooth out.
Because of the Hollow Curse, she had unwittingly signed a Familiar Contract with the White Snake. Although the contract’s connection was in good status, in the Hero’s Perception, she had already gone from the Border to the Highland, but the signal strength had not improved much, which proved that the White Snake was still at a distant location, or possibly in a sealed environnt.
“Forget it, we can just ask the Snow Woman sisters when we get there.”
She confird the connection was not lost and did not worry about it; after all, when she first t Sister White Snake, she was running around in the Kingdom using her Fantasy Species strength and skills, known for vanishing without a trace.
Although at that ti she was on a mission to collect materials to reinforce the volcano’s sealing, and now the Corrupted Phoenix had been defeated by their joint efforts, no one decreed that Sister White Snake had to stay in her snow mountain lair afterwards.
While the Hero’s Equipnt Forging still needed her help, tis have changed. Even without Sister White Snake, Gleaming Scale Serpent also possessed the rank of a Fantasy Species; although he was not fully grown yet, asking the Snow Won for assistance should not make much difference in results.
But unaware of the Hero’s deep trust in him, the Gleaming Scale Serpent, feeling the tranquil aura around him, displayed a sowhat dissatisfied expression.
“The Water Mirror Crane clan… didn’t co to welco us? Even though you’re now the Highland’s king.”
After defeating the Corrupted Phoenix and casting a Forbidden Curse to spread her presence throughout the Highland, in a sense, the Hero really had beco the ruler there.
“After all, I am Human, as you know. Although I can transform into a Magic Creature, essentially, it’s still different.”
However, the Hero herself was quite open-minded about it.
Since she had defeated the Corrupted Phoenix, she hadn’t returned to the Highland. Even if she really was its ruler, having neither actually ruled nor participated in a long while, not to ntion Magic Creatures, even Humankind would have almost forgotten.
“You rember, don’t you? At that ti we intended to subjugate the serpent-like Magic Creatures near our ho. Although so showed submission, many were still unwilling to obey my commands.”
Recalling events that now seed very distant, Gleaming Scale Serpent’s expression carried a hint of nostalgia.
“Yes, and later it was I who took on the duties of the Queen on your behalf. I wonder if they still follow my commands.”
“Um, so it’s quite normal for the Water Mirror Cranes to have concerns. After all, I’ve never t with them, and I no longer have the power that was once lent to by our predecessor, so there’s no need to emphasize the identity of a Queen, just getting along peacefully is good enough.”
Seeing Hero’s broad-minded deanor, Gleaming Scale Serpent could only nod in agreent.
But imdiately after, his gaze turned cold, revealing a trace of murderous intent.
“However, it seems that so fools—”
The refined gentleman’s eyes transford into snake eyes, coldly staring at a few Magic Creatures foolishly approaching.
The Chocobo Cart racing across the grassland was quite conspicuous. Even if they weren’t Goblins, there were still many predatory Magic Creatures eyeing the smooth and soft feathers of the Chocobos, and the delicate-skinned girl.
Feeling the piercing gaze of the Hunter, although this military Chocobo was far superior to its kind, it could not escape the instinct to ruffle its feathers,
If it were a wild Chocobo, it would probably have turned and fled by now, but as a well-trained excellent Chocobo, it controlled its instinctual fear and only nervously shuffled its stout legs in the marshland.
“No worries, leave it to .”
Hero’s gentle voice reached Gleaming Scale Serpent’s ears, quickly restoring calm to his expression.
“Yes, Queen.”
The gentle voice seed to have a magical power, soothing the raised feathers of the Chocobo as well.
Seeing both Gleaming Scale Serpent and the Chocobo calm down, Hero gave a radiant smile and then leapt up lightly.
The law of the jungle is a natural principle; here, killing does not represent evil, a stealth attack is not an-spirited, and being outnumbered is only too normal.
As a Beast Spirit Mage, Hero was also a part of this nature.
However, the predator’s killing was only for sustenance, and she had no desire to consu these weak ones who rashly viewed themselves as prey, nor did she have the habit of toying with them.
“So, let’s have a friendly encounter this ti.”
The girl who leaped down from the cart, her toes lightly touching the wet shallows, the ripples settled as quickly as they ford, and the biting wind beca soft and gentle. Around her, the space seed to beco tranquil all at once, serene and stable.
Only the breeze and chirping quietly conveyed her will.
[Hero activates Skill: Ceasefire (A roll of 60 ensures a safe arrival to the snow mountains)]
D100 52=d100(97) 52=149
The taut muscles of the Magic Creatures, prid for the hunt, relaxed all at once. Looking at what was once tempting prey, their appetites could no longer surge; they blinked in confusion, no longer concealing their presence, so simply rolled on the spot, resting on the grasslands.
“Alright, let’s continue our journey.”
Watching the frolicking Magic Creatures, Hero curved her lips into a smile, then sprang nimbly back atop the Bird Carriage, and cheerfully started giving orders to Gleaming Scale Serpent.
“Your will, Queen.”
The Shan Lin Snake bowed slightly and snapped his fingers lightly, causing a path of ice to extend under the wheels.
The Chocobo tacitly moved forward, pulling the conspicuously outstanding bird carriage across the highland towards the destination.
