Chapter 227 Should we raise our guard and accept immigrants from other ethnic groups?
Two days later, when Shu Xin saw the alien fairies again, they were in much better condition. Not only had their magical fluctuations stabilized, but all their injuries, big and small, had also healed, and their gazes toward her were filled with gratitude.
Shu Xin has also learned the ins and outs of why these alien fairies appeared in the Land of Sin:
This water sprite and three wind sprites belonged to different caravans within the same sprite trading company. They fled to the Kingdom of Garnar, covered in wounds, because these four caravans traveling together had inadvertently become involved in a war between a white dwarf duchy and a wind sprite religious kingdom.
Normally, neutral caravans traveling on normal trade routes would not be attacked by the warring parties. The problem was that three of these four caravans were wind sprite caravans, and most of these wind sprites came from the fairy religious kingdom that initiated the war. As a result, these four fairy caravans were ambushed by the dwarven army and suffered heavy casualties.
Shu Xin was actually a little curious, so she asked the Tree of Life if these four fairy caravans really had any connection with the country that started the war.
It turns out it really was a clandestine affair!
One of the wind fairy caravans consisted entirely of spies sent out by the fairy religious kingdom, while the other three ordinary caravans were simply unlucky enough to be implicated.
It wasn't just these four fairies who survived; they were the only four fairies who fled to the Kingdom of Ganar in a panic.
The reason they came to the Kingdom of Garnar was because the water fairy priestess Dedemarin used divine magic to activate a teleportation spell in a moment of crisis. The last time she used divine magic was when she was attending the Wind Market in the Garnar Plains. Following the previous spatial coordinates, she and the three wind fairies who were fleeing with her at that time were teleported to Garnar.
Although Shu Xin had repeatedly confirmed with the Tree of Life that it was indeed a coincidence, she still found it difficult not to be on high alert.
The Creator God's rank is clearly higher than the Water God's, and his strength is certainly greater. However, the Tree of Life is merely a fragment of the Creator God's divine essence. The Creator God has become fragmented, while the Water God is a living deity. Right now, it's really hard to say who is stronger!
The reason these four fairies came to the Land of Sin was because the wind fairy, Pupusop, was well-informed and had heard that a new autonomous territory called the Land of Sin had recently appeared in the Kingdom of Ganar, and that its lord was a member of the royal family who had rebelled against the capital.
Without permission to enter, the alien fairies could only hope for protection from the Land of Sin, so they secretly made their way over.
The three wind sprites even changed their genders, from males who were more convenient for traveling in human territory to females who were more suitable, since the lord of the land of sin was a woman.
Shu Xin became even more vigilant in response.
The most well-informed person, Popsopp, is a spy from that wind fairy religious country!
The few alien fairies who had mistakenly entered the Kingdom of Ganar were unaware that Shu Xin had already figured out their identities completely.
Their initial goal was simply to exploit the unique nature of the Land of Sin to evade the crime of undocumented entry. As long as they weren't immediately deported by the patrol officers, they could buy themselves some time to heal their wounds. Unexpectedly, after entering the Land of Sin and only meeting the lord once, they were taken away for treatment.
Since flying out of the medical room, they have never felt as healthy as they do now.
Inside the workshop, which the flower fairies called a medical room, was actually a high-level healing magic circle!
At first, they were extremely frightened, thinking that they had angered the lord of the land of sin by concealing their injuries, and that they would be sent to prison to be kept under guard—no one believed that the lord's "healing" was really healing.
But what kind of prison would have such a wide-open doorway? Even from the outside, the interior looked spacious and bright. The flower fairy who came out to greet them had a very calm and gentle magical aura, not at all like a warrior. The uniform she was wearing didn't look like a combat uniform either. When they heard that this was a medical room, the alien fairies could hardly believe their ears.
Do we really need to treat their wounds?
Although she could hardly believe it, Barbaria mustered up her courage and asked first how to pay the consultation fee. To her surprise, the flower fairy said it was free!
Before they could confirm it again, they were transported to another dimension. It wasn't until the soft magical light spread down, bringing a slight itch and mild pain as their wounds healed, that they realized it was a high-level magic circle—only high-level magic circles could generate another dimension!
These fairies who work so hard trading on the road don't come from high social standing. They've never used such a high-level magic array before. Even the water fairy, who is a priestess, has only ever used intermediate healing magic. That surging, gentle, and pure magic must have consumed countless magic crystals! Even their magic robes have been repaired and renewed. It's truly worthy of high-level magic!
After their injuries were healed, the alien fairies were taken to have a meal.
Faced with the abundant and delicious magical cuisine, they were even more incredulous. The water fairy was so moved that she cried. This was magical cuisine! A bowl of soup that cost one gold coin! Even if she was dragged out and killed after eating this meal, she had already enjoyed it all!
When she was brought before the lord again, the water sprite couldn't wait to shout:
"Your Highness! Does the Land of Sin accept immigrants from other races?"
The three wind sprites stared at her in disbelief. The eldest, Qinqinlaer, wanted to say something, but kept quiet out of consideration for the occasion.
The water sprite bowed with utmost sincerity: "Your Excellency, I wish to become a legitimate resident of the Land of Sin."
Dedemarine had been anxious about her future for a long time.
Born in a religious country, it took her 25 years to rise from a common believer to an altar priest, and another 53 years to go from altar priest to high priest.
Above the high priest is the assistant bishop, above the assistant bishop is the bishop, and above that is the archbishop, holy bishop, and patriarch. She never dared to hope that she could become an archbishop, but she no longer had the time to become a bishop. She was 113 years old this year. Even though water fairies are considered to be among the longest-living races of fairies, they can only live to be over 150 years old at most, which means that she can only live for a maximum of 40 years!
She applied to join a caravan and risked her life traveling trade routes precisely to seek more opportunities. She didn't want to endlessly preside over one monotonous and repetitive ceremony after another. The communion she had dreamed of eating as a child had become tiresome, and the priestly robes she once thought were incredibly beautiful now looked ordinary. She wanted to taste more delicious food, she wanted to wear more magnificent clothes, and she wanted to enjoy a better life—
"I swear to the water god, I will offer my loyalty and never betray this sinful land!"
