Chapter 251 Flower Cloak Dungeon Teaching Area
The situation sounded dire, but Shu Xin thought about it again. If Ganar really was planning to destroy the world, it had been planned for more than three thousand years and was still not finished. Even if it was in the final stages now, it seemed that it would still take a lot of time.
Moreover, Garnar is still collecting magic tax, so it's highly unlikely that it's time to take action yet. This world shouldn't be destroyed anytime soon.
Spending so much time with the flower fairies made it hard for Shu Xin not to have a negative impression of the country's rulers; but as long as she thought that King Garnar was a true river elf, the sole survivor of the genocide, and a member of the same race as Bretzman, it was hard for Shu Xin to have the most malicious suspicions about Garnar.
She even couldn't help but tell herself that all of this was ultimately just her speculation. Having thoughts and taking action are not directly equivalent. Everyone has had the thought of killing someone, but not everyone will actually take up the knife and kill. Ganar's resentment towards this world was indeed clearly exposed in the projection of the dimensional demon realm onto the material plane, but this does not directly indicate that Ganar really wants to destroy this world...
What exactly did the river spirits experience three thousand years ago...?
Regardless of the truth, and whether Garnar simply harbors the idea of destroying the world or is already carrying it out, she is going to take action.
After seeing off the patrol officers who had collected the magic tax, Shu Xin summoned all her subordinates. She demanded that all officials arrive at the conference room on time. This was the first plenary meeting Shu Xin had convened after defining the responsibilities of each department in the Land of Sin and appointing officials.
"The closest territory to the Land of Sin is the Bobomo Territory. I have decided to take it over next year. Please make your preparations," the Flower Fairy announced calmly. "However, there's no rush. I've gathered you all here mainly for another matter: I'm preparing to formally abolish the magic tax in the Land of Sin."
The discussions taking place in the Flower Castle's conference room have not yet brought much change to the Land of Sin, and the flower fairies' lives remain peaceful and fulfilling.
After the second dry season of the year arrives, the humidity in the air gradually decreases and the weather gradually turns cooler. With the availability of clothing workshops where ready-made clothes can be obtained conveniently and quickly and styles can be freely chosen, the flower fairies' clothing becomes more and more colorful. When the wind blowing in their faces carries a hint of chill, the flower fairies put on all kinds of windproof cloaks.
The clothing produced in the tailoring workshops was far less refined than the formal attire of the nobles and butlers, but it excelled in its vibrant colors and diverse styles. The knowledgeable wind fairy merchants also shared various customs regarding clothing among different races with the flower fairies, from which the flower fairies learned a great deal.
For example, many orcs would collect their shed hair and scales to decorate their children's clothes, and flower fairies would pluck their own hair and weave various patterns on their children's cloaks.
For example, dragons prefer to display their collected treasures by draping them on their bodies. There are flower fairies who carefully adorn their cloaks with gifts from their demon friends and parade around in the streets.
Some fairies would nurture natural elements within their bodies to enhance their translucent forms, and some flower fairies would try to feed beautiful butterflies and birds to travel with them.
However, many flower fairies learned from the forest dwarves how to adorn themselves, which is to carefully select flowers and leaves as ornaments.
However, the petals and leaves that are separated from the plant will wither quickly, so the flower fairies went a step further and directly transplanted plants with beautiful leaves or flowers onto their magic cloaks.
Water-based magical cloth, which can provide sufficient moisture and magic to aquatic plants, has overcome its disadvantages and become very popular. Furthermore, since it is currently the dry season, the rate at which aquatic plants consume water is much greater than the rate at which the water-based magical cloth absorbs water, so the disadvantage of this cloth becoming heavier and heavier with long-term use no longer exists.
Of course, the magic cloak made of water-based magic fabric still needs an extra lining, otherwise it is easy to catch a fever. In addition, the aquatic plants themselves also have weight, so overall it is still heavier than cloaks made of other magic fabrics.
Then there was a flower fairy who wore a cloak made of water-based magic cloth for a long time. When she occasionally took off the cloak, she found that her flying speed was much faster than before.
As a result, water-based magic fabric became increasingly scarce.
After discovering the new trend in the Land of Sin, Xi wanted to make the same style for the Flower Fairy and herself. The family treasures offered by Qinqin Laer were put into Shuxin's private treasury, which contained a lot of water magic materials, so she didn't have to go through the trouble of collecting and refining them herself like the Flower Fairies.
However, when Shu Xin heard that he was going to make a new cloak from water-based magic fabric, she went to find her rarely worn loungewear. She had made eight loungewear dresses from a single piece of water-based magic fabric, but as the weather turned cooler, these dresses became a bit cold to wear next to the skin. It would be perfect to reuse them by making a cloak.
Shu Xin thought she would have to say a few words to Xi, since it was all old fabric that had been worn before, but to her surprise, Xi happily took it without the slightest unease.
Noticing Shu Xin's confusion, he said happily, "Darling, these are your personal items, how could I possibly mind? I'm overjoyed!"
...Now Shu Xin is a little bothered. It's not like she can't keep these dresses and wear them next year!
In the end, Xi took four lounge dresses and some water-based magic materials, using the new and old fabrics to make two cloaks.
The two cloaks that Xi brought back were specially made from aquatic plants with large, double-petaled flowers. Looking at the large, quiet flowers blooming on the magical fabric, Shu Xin was extremely impressed by the flower fairies' ingenious ideas.
Clad in cloaks of blooming flowers, the flower fairies, exuding a faint floral fragrance as they flew, were exactly the fantastical little creatures like magical flower fairies and flower spirits that Shu Xin had in mind.
While the flower fairies, dressed in fragrant and beautiful flower cloaks, were happily flying around working and living, the demons of the dungeon were fighting again.
In the first fight, both the new and old demons had their share of wins and losses. However, unlike the old demons who already had jobs, regardless of whether the new demons won or lost, after completing the excavation and construction of their communal dormitories and moving into their new nests—whether they were dry and cool or warm and humid—they were all assigned to classes. The courses consisted of learning Chinese characters and Elven script.
Elven script was complex, and Chinese characters were even more so. The new demons were completely bewildered by what they were learning. On top of that, the old demons mocked them relentlessly, which fueled both old and new grudges. They seized the opportunity to fight fiercely.
Before this matter reached Shu Xin's ears, Xi went to the underground city immediately after receiving the news and beat up both sides involved in the fight. Afterwards, he unceremoniously took out the anti-magic ring set and gave one to each of the demons who made the move. It just so happened that the alchemy workshop had forged a large batch of anti-magic equipment in order to rescue people from the demon realm, so there was definitely enough for everyone.
Faced with Xi's threat that "if you fight again, you'll be sent back to the Demon Realm," the demons quickly quieted down.
As dawn broke, before the sun had even risen, Sasa Mi awoke in the soft morning light.
Opening the glass window of the cardamom shop, and gazing at the distant wheat fields rippling like rolling green waves in the slightly chilly morning breeze, Shasha was in a great mood. Her hometown is located by the sea, and she had never seen such a vast wheat field before. Every time she saw the waves of wheat, a strong sense of happiness would well up in her heart.
After folding up the long blanket and smoothing out the soft pillows, Sasa Honey picked up the wooden bucket and flew out to fetch water. Even though she had fetched water from the water supply cloud many times, Sasa Honey was still amazed every time she teleported to a large, dark white cloud. She had never dreamed of fetching water from a cloud!
Although her innate magic is teleportation magic, which allowed her to teleport directly to the irrigation ditch where she previously needed to fetch water, the water supply cloud has made it much easier for her family to get water.
As soon as she delivered a full bucket of water to her doorstep, Sasa smelled the rich aroma of acorn bread. Her little daughter opened the door with a smile: "Good morning, Mom! Great-Auntie is cutting bread and Great-Daddy is frying fish fillets!"
The sweet aroma of fish wafted out of the house, and Sasa swallowed hard: "Good morning, my dear Sasa Lin, Mom will go make soup now!"
Light the flint, place the wooden pot on top, pour in the freshly drawn water, and once the water boils, ladle in several large spoonfuls of acorn powder soup. Stir slowly and evenly, then sprinkle in a little magic powder and continue stirring. When the thick soup starts to bubble, take the delicious mushroom slices that the children have washed and cut and add them in. Then, scoop eight fish balls from the cardamom glass jar and add them to the pot as well. Continue stirring until the aroma of the mushrooms and fish balls is released. The rich and flavorful mushroom, fish ball, and acorn powder soup is now ready.
By this time, the tableware was all set out. Sliced acorn bread and fragrant fried fish fillets were steaming hot on the plates. Sasa Mi ladled the thick soup into the soup bowls one by one, making sure that everyone's bowl had a fish ball and a few slices of mushroom.
Finally, she placed the ladle into the thoroughly cleaned soup pot, and then, with a flourish, took the jar of moss syrup from the cupboard and flew back to the table, catching the bright, excited looks of her family: "Alright~ the moss syrup is here too~ let's eat!"
After a hearty breakfast, Sasa said goodbye to her family and used her innate magic to teleport directly to the newly designated teaching area of the dungeon, ready to begin her work for the day.
Because of her rare magical talent, Sasa Mimi and her two daughters, who also had teleportation magic talent, couldn't find any suitable jobs when they first arrived in the Land of Sin. Later, the construction of the commercial park required a lot of manpower and did not require magical talent, so Sasa Mimi got her first job. Her two daughters were too young, so they went to the education district to study and learn to read.
Sasa Mi is also illiterate, so she also has to go to school. However, unlike her daughters who study all day, she works half a day and studies half a day.
After the business park was completed, although Sasa lost her job again, she quickly found a new job because of her strong spatial awareness and ability to demonstrate some of the Elven script that indicated spatial orientation. She stayed at the school and became a teacher.
Among the group of flower fairy teachers sent to the dungeon to teach the demons elven script was Sasa Mi, so her workplace changed from the teaching area on the surface to the teaching area in the dungeon.
