Solutions are often born out of necessity.

The Horned Fortress is dozens of miles away from the 'Cremation Wine Ground'. If you actually walk there, you'll miss the Queen's coronation ceremony.

We had to think of a way, so Li Aili gave Assange a wink.

Li Aili: 'Go, draw their fire!'

Upon receiving the message, Assange immediately and enthusiastically went to the harpy squad, "Hey! Brothers, is this place really as good as the rumors say?"

The local bird demons, without tacit agreement, began to boast about Sedar.

"That's right! Our harpies are the best in all of Sedar!"

The sparrow-colored bird demon used the small claws on its wings to make a gesture commonly used across the continent: "thumbs up".

While the real bird demon was bewitching the fake bird demon, Li Aili whispered, "Charm."

"exist."

"Do you have a rope?"

"have."

Is that enough?

Charles paused for a moment, then said, “It depends on what you’re going to do with them.”

"Is it enough to tie us and the bird demon together?"

Charles: "...Enough. But I don't think these birds will be willing..."

Li Aili took out several bottles of invisibility potion. Li Aili: "Soak the ropes in the invisibility potion, and then tie the ropes soaked in the potion to these bird demons, understand?"

Charles: "..."

The legendary assassin was incredibly nimble.

Li Aili then saw bubbles suddenly appearing in the air:

[This one's fat, with Ajahn.]

[This skinny one, with that dragon.]

Li Aili: "???"

Each teammate now has a 'source of motivation'.

Li Aili began distributing the 'Flying Potion' version 3.0 to everyone.

After completely removing the 'passive charm' effect, the Flying Potion still doesn't allow you to fly at will, but it's much better than the 'drop tower' in version .0.

The only drawback is... we still haven't overcome the 'motor' hurdle.

Li Aili's actions were naturally seen by several bird demons who had been secretly watching her.

Facing the curious gaze of the 'local bird', Li Aili calmly uncapped the medicine bottle.

"Don't be offended, where I'm from, we're used to having a drink before an important journey."

She raised the vial and gave her teammate, who looked conflicted, a forced smile, saying, "How can I not drink something for such an important event as Queen Sedar's coronation? Cheers!"

Li Aili drank the medicine from the bottle in one gulp.

Forced to act, the teammates could only swallow their drinks in one gulp.

A heartbreaking bubble rose above Leslie's head:

Money is hard to earn...

Li Aili: "..."

As they were talking, the medicine began to take effect, and Li Aili's heels lifted off the ground.

She mimicked the bird demons' take-off posture, "Well then~ let's set off quickly~ fellow members of Sedar's race, would you please fly ahead and lead the way?"

The golden female harpy's smile was exceptionally beautiful.

Sedar's harpies took flight in a flurry, eager to display their prowess before this 'dream bird'.

As soon as they took off, they realized something was wrong.

A bird demon looked around suspiciously.

Then, the bird demon was surprised to find that its teammates were all secretly sizing each other up.

One of the bird demons finally couldn't hold back any longer, "Side... I... why do I feel like flying is particularly... heavy this time?"

Hid didn't dare to speak at all; he held his breath and flapped his wings with all his might.

He dared not speak, for he felt as if a dragon was hanging down on him.

He was afraid that if he spoke and his breath leaked out, he would fall straight down.

Another bird demon said, "Yes! Yes, yes, I feel the same way. It's like someone keeps pulling me back, no, pulling me up."

The third bird demon: "Speaking of which, I also feel a bit constricted around my abdomen! It feels like I'm wearing a really tight belt..."

Li Aili observed the bubbles above the head of the Sadar Bird Demon and immediately made a decision, calling out loudly, "Hey~ is it a bit windy and dusty here? Is it hard to fly? How about we let our lads fly ahead?"

Several of the harpies from Sedar shouted in unison, "No need! We can do it!"

Li Aili: "Wow~ Your Sedar guys are really awesome~" *^▽^*

The teammate who witnessed the entire conversation: "..."

After an hour of 'flying with a heavy load', Sedar's harpies finally saw the 'end' of their journey—the Harpy Fortress.

Every single one of the Sedar harpies was exhausted.

For the first time, Li Aili realized that even birds would pant with their mouths open when they were exhausted.

A sharp, empty whistle rang out.

Sedar's harpy squad crawled half-dead from the ground.

A patrol team descended from the sky.

"Hey, what's with the strange bird demon you brought back?" The captain of the air patrol team was a male bird demon with mixed colors.

He frowned, looking down at the exhausted bird demons of the expedition team.

Xi De got up, dusted himself off, and pulled the captain of the air patrol squad aside to talk.

Xi De asked, "Have you seen that red-feathered male bird demon?"

"We intend to present it to Her Majesty the Queen as a coronation gift."

The captain of the air patrol squadron: "..."

He was so focused on the beautiful woman in gold behind him that he didn't notice the red male bird demon.

The captain of the air patrol squad looked back and saw that Assange was as red as a ball of fire in the sun.

Wow!

Believe it or not, Her Majesty the Queen might actually take him in if he looks like that!

"Well done, kid, you're really in luck now," the air patrol team leader said with a hint of envy.
