Chapter 233 Water Magic Cloth - The Human Race Has Arrived at Our Doorstep?! ...
The alchemy production line was running very smoothly. The flower fairies' magical talents were already ridiculously strong, and with the professional alchemist Barbaria providing guidance and corrections, the production efficiency of various parts was extremely high.
The final assembly of the parts took quite a bit of time, but with the Tree of Life providing a boost, it was still completed smoothly.
The first machine to be completed was the hourglass-shaped weaving machine. By this time, the descendants of the wind fairy Qinqinlar had already arrived in the Land of Sin with their family's treasures. Shu Xin asked the Tree of Life to check and selected a complete set of fabric crafting recipes from those sold to the Land of Sin by the water fairy. After preparing the magical materials, she tried out the magical machine.
All sorts of water-attribute magical materials were poured into the upper container of the hourglass-shaped spinning machine, and a soft magical glow automatically rippled outwards in circles.
The finished textile machine wasn't completely transparent as shown in the blueprints. This hourglass-shaped textile machine looked like natural wood, perhaps because too much of the Tree of Life wood was used...
It was three hours later that the soft magical glow slowly dissipated from the upper part of the container, and the lower part began to overflow with vibrant magical energy.
After another two hours, the shimmering finished fabric flowed smoothly from the lower half of the hourglass container and slid onto a pre-placed tray.
The light blue water-themed magic cloth is quite moist and cool, and it's also very breathable. This large piece of cloth feels as light as air when you hold it in your hand. Simply draping it over your arms gives you a refreshing coolness. Shu Xin thinks this kind of magic cloth is especially suitable for the current rainy season.
However, Shu Xin thought it was suitable, but the fabric was a bit too cold for the flower fairies. The nobles and butlers also said that this kind of magical fabric would continuously absorb water elements from the air. If it were made into a cloak for daily wear, it would become too heavy over time and would affect normal flight.
The flower fairies weren't suited to it, and the noble butlers didn't like it much either, so Shu Xin happily kept the sample fabric. She found the Tree of Life to be her tailor and made eight house dresses from the magical fabric in one go.
With the production of textile machinery on track, the construction of a cluster of garment workshops was put on the agenda.
Considering that the finished garments could be sold after satisfying the needs of the flower fairies in the Land of Sin, Shu Xin called the business officer over to the meeting with the construction officer and the affairs officer.
As Xi busily began building clothing workshops of all sizes in the Land of Sin, she found Shuxin and told her that she was going back to the Demon Realm and would bring some hybrids with her.
Gone was the innocent and carefree blond boy he always was; the black-haired, black-eyed demon with golden pupils was practically in a rage, his magical energy so chaotic that even wisps of spatial rifts appeared around him.
"How can there be war every day! The small skirmishes in the past were alright, but this time the battlefield was so large that a total of thirty-three elemental storms erupted! Sooner or later, the Demon Realm will be completely destroyed! It will be turned into the endless sea and everyone will perish together!"
Gritting his teeth, Xi tried his best to calm down under the flower fairy's concerned gaze, but the black-haired demon's smile was still somewhat twisted, and his tone was sinister:
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon. The new hybrids aren't as strong as the guys in the dungeon, but they'll be much better in character. One day I'll..."
The words she hadn't spoken were swallowed back down. Xi opened her arms and gently hugged the flower fairy in front of her: "My dear, wait for me to come back!"
Shu Xin was somewhat helpless. She hadn't even said a word yet, and this guy seemed to have already finished explaining and was about to leave on the spot.
She had no choice but to put her arm around the man's waist: "Don't worry, is there anything I can help you with?"
Xi was about to say no, but after thinking for a moment, he lowered his head and kissed the flower fairy on the forehead, then hesitantly asked, "Then, before you leave, do you need to replenish your magic?"
Shu Xin gave a fake smile and pinched the man's firm waist muscles with her fingertips, twisting them hard: "I mean, I'll help you!"
When Xi finally returned to the Demon Realm, in addition to bringing over a thousand acorn breads, dozens of jars of moss syrup, and several thousand dried fruits, she also brought Blue Horn, whom Shu Xin thought was the smartest among the demons.
Although the construction efficiency of the clothing workshop project would decrease if Bluehorn, the demon construction officer, was no longer in charge, and only the elven construction officer Nanaja was responsible for its progress, Shuxin still felt it was safer to have Bluehorn and Xi return to the demon realm together.
After all, there's nothing major happening in the Land of Sin right now, so it won't have much of an impact if the construction timeline of the garment workshop is extended a bit. However, Xi's thoughts and actions are often very simple and direct, even to the point of being considered crude. Lanjiao, on the other hand, is rare among demons in terms of thoroughness and meticulousness. With Lanjiao around, he can help Xi fill in any gaps in her knowledge.
When Lanjiao was summoned to the Flower Castle and learned that she was to accompany Xi back to the Demon Realm, she immediately switched her gender from female to male without saying a word.
This was the first time Shu Xin had ever witnessed the gender transformation of the demon race.
There were no cool or fancy light effects on site, not even the magical glow that Shu Xin was used to seeing. The tall and slender demon woman's magical energy fluctuations around her did not change much.
In the blink of an eye, his proudly erect chest became flat, his thick, waist-length hair was shortened to shoulder length, and the metal scales that covered his body disappeared from his chest to his waist and abdomen. Not only did the three blue horns on his head shrink a lot, but his incredibly fit body also shrank significantly. The blue horn was also noticeably shorter.
Judging from Lan Jiao's current appearance, one would naturally think he is a handsome, charming, and robust man. However, compared to his appearance just now, Shu Xin actually felt that he looked a bit thin and frail...
Bluehorn wasn't quite used to his much weaker body either. He moved his hands and feet, frowned slightly in dissatisfaction, but didn't say anything more.
After inquiring about the supplies Shu Xin had prepared for Xi, he suggested bringing some anti-magic rings as well, and emphasized that it would be even better if there were magic cloaks that could seal magic and isolate aura.
Shu Xin didn't quite understand at first, but Xi nodded knowingly and then explained it to the Flower Fairy in detail—
Most hybrid demons can freely change their gender, but some cannot choose their own gender. For example, some hybrids whose main bloodline is banshee can only be female.
Even if hybrids cannot reproduce, female hybrids will still be killed by pure-blooded demons immediately, so all hybrids that survive are male.
The timing is quite opportune. The great war in the Demon Realm broke out not long ago, and Xi noticed it. So the war in the Demon Realm is ongoing. Large-scale war will lead to the birth of large-scale elemental storms. The battlefield is still expanding, and elemental storms will obviously continue to appear. The number of hybrids born from the elemental storms will become more and more complex.
Although purebloods will do their utmost to search for and exterminate newly born hybrids in the elemental storm, the war will inevitably consume most of the purebloods' combat power and attention. Therefore, some newly born female hybrids will definitely survive. If there were magic-suppressing rings or magic cloaks that seal magic power, the female hybrids could be hidden.
Xi Du hadn't thought of this, and Shu Xin even less so. She quickly used the newly built spinning machine to make a batch of magic cloth that could seal magic power. After asking the Tree of Life to make cloaks for her, she went and found all the magic-suppressing rings that she had made for the demons before. She handed them over to Blue Horn along with the magic cloaks made by the Tree of Life.
Xi brought a large amount of supplies, while Lanjiao took a lot of anti-magic equipment. They directly tore open a spatial passage, and the two demons quietly left the Land of Sin.
After seeing Xi and Lanjiao off, Shuxin continued her daily work and life.
Shu Xin didn't feel anything when Xi was there, but after Xi left, she felt that the huge Flower Castle, which was bustling with people and no different from before, always felt empty.
Perhaps it's because he always appears in various places unnoticed during the day, and at night he always pesters her to play all sorts of strange and wonderful games. Now, she can't see him anywhere during the day, and at night, only the moonlight and the magical cat appear on her bed in the bedroom, which makes her feel very uncomfortable.
This demon, who could switch between a blond boy and a black-haired youth, seemed to appear beside her at any time.
When he suddenly disappeared, Shu Xin belatedly realized that she had gotten used to his company.
Shu Xin quickly forgot about her discomfort. With the rainy season coming to an end and the harvest month fast approaching, Nonoli, Pengpengan, and the demon military officer Shan arrived at the Flower Castle together.
Peng Peng'an's expression was very serious: "Your Highness, we have just received news that a human empire is attacking the tribes of the forest dwarves."
He turned to look at the mountain, which nodded and added, "My men discovered that the alien fairy who recently arrived in the Land of Sin, the one named Popsorp, has been sending messages out. Since the messages she sent out weren't anything important, we didn't pay attention to them. But recently, some messages have been sent in from the outside, so my men found a way to investigate what they were about."
Nono noticed that the flower fairy looked somewhat bewildered, as if she didn't quite understand what this message meant. He explained in a deep voice, "The Emerald Forest, which borders our Kingdom of Ganar, belongs to the Forest Dwarves."
Shu Xin suddenly understood. This meant that a human had attacked right up to Ganar's doorstep!
