What remained was not sothing to be discussed in public. This eting mainly focused on the ceremonial transfer of power. The specific strategies and deploynts would be discussed separately by Lilya and Leyton.
Violet wasn’t particularly interested in getting involved in these matters. Her commitnt to Lilya was simply to ensure her safety until her return to the capital. Other tasks, such as the one perford yesterday to remove the curse from Leyton, were at her discretion.
In fact, Violet had considered flying alone to the beastman kingdom before the war to gather information and see what kind of creatures these beastn, so extravagantly described by Princess Lilya, truly were. But after so thought, she decided against it.
It all ca back to her role as the fifth princess’s guardian when she ventured to the western border of the kingdom. She didn’t want her actions to bring unexpected changes to the situation. The enthusiastic crowd from the previous day had genuinely unnerved her.
Moreover, staying by Lilya’s side and watching her overco challenges with her own abilities was an interesting experience for Violet. She wanted to delve deeper into this world, rather than recklessly interfere.
That night, Princess Lilya was inside the fortress, discussing the upcoming battle plans with Leyton and other generals. Violet listened for a while but found it hard to endure, so she stepped outside for so fresh air.
With Flora as her protector, she felt confident that nothing significant would happen inside Wanhe Fortress. Besides, she had been experiencing a strange sensation since the previous day.
Summoning her wings, Violet had learned her lesson this ti. She adjusted the brightness and effects of her skill to the lowest settings, making her wings look plain and unassuming, just like a pair of ordinary white wings.
Unnoticed in the dark of night, the girl spread her wings and took to the sky.
Easily, Violet found her destination – the tallest tower in the entire Wanhe Fortress. This tower stood hundreds of ters high and was used for sounding alarms and urgent dispatch during tis of war. Normally, few people would venture up to the top platform.
“This should be it.”
Violet folded her wings and perched on the narrow platform, only a few square ters wide. She hung half her body in the air, her robe adorned with feather patterns flapping in the cool breeze of the autumn night. It revealed her smooth, fair legs, swaying gently.
The autumn nights in the western border of the Human United Kingdom had already neared freezing temperatures, and an ordinary person wearing only a thin robe at this ti would likely shiver with cold...
However, Violet didn’t feel any of that. Her deity body possessed astounding overall qualities, and the cold wind at most made her feel pleasantly cool.
Despite her attempts to integrate into human society as much as possible, she couldn’t help but reject and resist from the heart. As more of her differences from ordinary humans beca apparent, Violet had to accept this fact.
The word “human” was probably no longer relevant to her...
With a flicker of a magic circle, a small golden dragon with wings outstretched had appeared beside Violet.
“Master, you seem a bit lancholy. Did soone upset you?”
Violet didn’t respond but raised her hand, pointing down to the bustling lights within Wanhe Fortress.
“Xiao Guang, what do you see?”
Turning her head in the direction indicated by her master, the small dragon girl playfully guessed, “Hmm... humans? Buildings?”
“No, it’s our kind.”
Violet’s smile had a hint of loneliness. “After spending so much ti in this world, learning from everything I’ve seen and heard, and from the information Lilya provided, I’ve co to understand my place in this world. I’m not invincible, but there are very few who could pose a threat to , or at least I haven’t encountered them yet.”
“Uncle Lester barely counts, and Lilya and Flora could be considered in a way, but they’re more like ordinary humans, not our kind. I realized this when I used ninth-tier magic yesterday, and they looked at with those eyes.”
The golden-haired dragon girl tilted her head in confusion. “I don’t quite understand. Is it because you’re sad that you ca to this world and can’t see your old friends anymore?”
Violet burst into laughter. “Haha, you hit the nail on the head.”
Her affected look of sorrow suddenly couldn’t be maintained, and she chuckled while affectionately rubbing her beloved pet’s head.
“But never mind, I’m just being lodramatic. I haven’t let you out for a while, and you must be getting bored.”
“Hehe, it’s not so bad. I used to spend most of my ti inside, anyway, so I’m used to it.”
“By the way...”
Violet seed to suddenly rember sothing. “Xiao Guang, in that empty white space you ntioned, is it just you inside?”
“Well, there used to be various creatures in there, though most of them were weaklings. Occasionally, I’d encounter so decent fellows to spar with when I was bored.”
“Since coming to this world, they all disappeared, and now I’m the only one left. However, it’s changed. I can communicate across space with you and see the outside world. I guess it might have sothing to do with changes in the laws?”
“That’s quite sothing...”
What started as a casual question piqued Violet’s interest when she heard her dragon’s response.
Had Xiao Guang left the original pet space, or had the space abandoned its other “pets” to co to this world with the dragon girl?
To get a better understanding of these matters, it would probably require delving deeper into the world, witnessing more powerful entities, such as the mythical creatures Lilya ntioned. However, it was said that mythical creatures hadn’t been seen in a very long ti.
“All right, the eting over there should be wrapping up. It’s ti to head back.”
With a powerful leap, Violet soared into the air, her pristine white wings unfurling behind her, allowing her to hover in mid-air like Xiao Guang. She cast one last glance at the city lights below.
War... if Lilya were to lose, all of this would likely be destroyed.
“Master, so... should we deal with the snooper, or just leave it?”
“Oh, I almost forgot why I ca here...”
The priestess turned her head and glanced in the direction of the night sky.
“Hey, since we’ve taken on the job of protecting the princess, preserving her privacy is also part of it. Moreover, this thing has been spying on us for quite so ti. It’s a little irritating... isn’t it?”
Violet reached into the void, fumbling for a while before pulling out sothing... a shoulder-mounted rocket launcher?
Well, it was actually a prank item introduced in a ga event, only of purple rarity. A single shot dealt a fixed 999 true damage, which was basically a scratch for high-level players.
However, this thing had a very special effect; the launched missile ca with a powerful flashbang effect. Even for a player like Violet, at level 110, being hit head-on would leave her dazed for quite a while.
So...
“Flashbang!!!”
A missile adorned with a small devil icon whistled through the air, directly hitting the dark night sky in the distance. With a loud roar, it brought forth a glaring white light.
“Hmm! Not a bad effect. Like peeping, huh? Let give you a good show.”
Taking off the sunglasses that appeared on her nose bridge at so point, Violet patted the head of her pet dragon girl, summoned her back into the space, and then flew towards the area where the war tower was located.
Behind the girl, the vast black night sky cracked inch by inch like shattered glass. Finally, it burst open with a loud bang, returning to its original quiet and profound appearance.
anwhile...
“Ah!! My eyes! My eyes!!!”
In a certain tent, an old fox who had been sitting cross-legged in sacrificial robes suddenly scread, falling to the ground, desperately rolling around while covering his eyes. It looked as if he had suffered a severe blow.
“High... High Priest! Soone! Quickly, call the shaman healer!!”
Violet: Hmm, another day of doing good deeds~
