Chapter 245 Night City - Rukia
Tu Lan emerged from the space at some point, hiding on Yu Xunge's shoulder as she listened to Rukia's story.
Even after leaving the alchemy shop, the bull and the dragon were still discussing Rukia.
Tulan told Yu Xunge that when she was still a dragon egg, her mother, the Holy Grail, wanted to invite Lucia to be her tutor. She didn't want Lucia to learn potions, but rather she wanted Lucia to tell her more about the world, even if it was just a casual chat.
The Holy Grail believes that Rukia is a true legend, and her vision, her magnanimity, and her emotions are all worthy of emulation.
But by the time she was born, Rukia had already stopped teaching.
In truth, everyone understands that the master who said true geniuses don't need guidance and that she should leave her time for children with more ordinary talents had long since broken her vow.
Even though she never acknowledged Hufflepuff as her student, and Hufflepuff never publicly said that Lucia was his teacher, time doesn't lie; she did indeed stay for eight years for Hufflepuff—a true alchemical genius.
However, all the holy races and alien beasts were understanding of Rukia. They admired Rukia and remained silent about it. No one was so foolish as to ask Rukia why she broke her promise.
Moreover, at that time, Lucia and Hufflepuff were both undead, and she was training talent for the undead. From any perspective, it's impossible to say she was wrong.
But then this stubborn student appeared.
The children that the student offered to the demon were all oak owls of her kind. So in the end, Lucia stayed in the City of the Midnight Sun, treating the little oak owls who couldn't afford treatment for free. However, she still charged the market price for the big oak owls who came to her.
In Rukia's words, she's here to make up for Little Oak Owl, not to make up for you old birds! If you're going to try to bargain, get lost!
...
Considering it was just delivering a notebook and wouldn't be a big deal, Yu Xunge decided not to return to Blue Star. Instead, she took Tu Lan directly to Polar City.
Unexpectedly, the search lasted for more than an hour. Hufflepuff only knew that Lucia spent most of her time in the City of the Midnight Sun, but she couldn't say exactly where, because Lucia, the undead, was not as much of a homebody as Hufflepuff.
Rukia has a very wild personality; she can't stay still. In her early years when she was teaching students, she would run around everywhere. Even now, though she spends most of her time in Polar City, she won't stay in one place for long.
Just as he was about to drink his second bottle of [Melting Time], Yu Xunge used the food in his backpack to pave the way and finally got the answer from a little oak owl—Rukia had been spending most of her time in Polar Night City recently, only occasionally returning to Polar Day City.
Yu Xunge had no choice but to take Tu Lan to Polar Night City again.
Ever since Yu Xunge received angel investment from Wu Ren, the atmosphere in these main cities has become increasingly tense, and Moon Foxes can often be seen patrolling the streets.
She, with her invisible Tu Lan, brushed past the Moon Fox team without looking to the side, her expression honest and simple like a real old ox.
The City of Polar Day and the City of Polar Night are just like their names suggest, one experiencing the polar day and the other the polar night. However, the Oak Owl's third main city, the City of Four Seasons, does have day and night, but the four seasons change every day.
The three main cities share a similar architectural style, with all buildings primarily constructed of oak. However, the designs are exquisite and not haphazard or rough, but rather a beautiful blend of nature and art, exuding vitality in every corner.
The city of Polar Night is brightly lit day and night. Following the directions of the little owl, Yu Xunge went wherever there was excitement.
But excluding the surrounding islands, the main city of Midnight City alone is one-third the size of China. Most of the 36 main cities are like this. In the past, Yu Xunge used the teleportation arrays in the city to go directly to the places he wanted to go, which was convenient and quick. But now that he needs to find someone, he can't use this lazy method.
No wonder Hufflepuff gave her 10 bottles of potion for self-defense...
In the end, Tulan was so tired that she fell asleep with her head resting against her ear.
There is no sunrise or sunset here. If anyone wants to know the time, they can only look at the tallest tower in the City of Night. Although it is called a tower, Yu Xunge felt that it was more like a giant oak tree, only with an extremely ingenious design.
Several branches extend from the top of the tower, and on the highest branch hangs a clock more eye-catching than the moon. All the citizens of the Polar Night City can see the time simply by looking up, because its hour, minute, and second hands are like three galaxies, radiating brilliant light and meeting again and again.
Compared to other major cities, Polar Night City seems to exist in another dimension, where people live their lives as they please, without distinction between day and night. The moon seems to always follow Polar Night City, making it impossible for this place to escape the darkness.
Moreover, the silver moon above the city of Midnight gives one the illusion that it is always hanging directly above her head.
Yu Xunge had this feeling when she came to Polar Night City before, and this time when she asked Little Oak Owl about Lucia's location in Polar Night City, she took the opportunity to ask this question.
The little oak owl's answer was that whoever comes to the City of Night will have the illusion that the moon follows them. That's how the moon is; it loves all living beings. Only the moon fox is delusional enough to think that the moon goddess only loves them.
Yu Xunge: ...How did this turn into a comparison?
Once you get used to this feeling, it's actually quite romantic.
Yu Xunge used the amount of potion she drank to keep track of time. When she drank the sixth bottle of [Melting Time], she suddenly felt the pocket watch on her chest getting cold.
It was as if what was hanging there wasn't a pocket watch, but a block of ice.
Yu Xunge didn't touch the pocket watch. Instead, she walked to a deserted place without changing her expression. After checking that no one was around with her Hunting Eye, she took out the pocket watch. She discovered that the cold aura emanating from it was not from the pocket watch, but from the tiny [Raging Moon] inside, about the size of a grain of rice.
This lantern, which would normally not emit light when it was in a bad mood, was now flickering a faint glow.
What does this mean? Are you in a better mood?
Yu Xunge looked up at the silver moon in the sky. Was it because he had found the original body?
She had brought lanterns out at night before, but those were always for causing trouble; she was either hiding or quickly returned indoors.
Of course, it's also possible that the Earth's moon and this irritable moon are not the same kind of moon; the irritable moon only consumes local moonlight.
Yu Xunge closed the pocket watch again. Although she didn't know what use it would be if the irritable moon was in a good mood, a good mood was better than an irritable one.
After another bottle of potion, Yu Xunge finally found Lucia in an open-air tavern in Polar Night City.
[Rukia Level 100 100%┃100%]
Even without detection skills, Yu Xunge would not mistake it.
Yu Xunge had seen Rukia's photo when he read Rukia's autobiography; she was a person who was unforgettable after just one glance.
Although Rukia is a member of the undead race, she was transformed into an undead by the undead lord after death, having abandoned all her faith. In her previous life, she was actually a sea siren.
Siren live in the deep sea. Their legs can freely switch between their tails and legs. Every time they swim, they exercise all the muscles in their body, so siren generally have a fit and beautiful physique.
Rukia was the same. She looked only a little older than Hufflepuff, and her exposed arms and abdomen had extremely smooth muscle lines. In stark contrast to Hufflepuff, who was a skinny shut-in who spent all day in the shop smoking and drinking, Rukia was full of power. If she punched Hufflepuff, he would cry for a long time.
