Chapter 286: Farm Delivers a Letter (Edited)
A one-meter-long red monster spread its three-meter-wide wings and flew hard in the night sky, as fast as a shooting star.
With tears in his eyes and a small package in his claws, Farm turned his grief and anger into speed and rushed towards the Snowvo family castle.
Damn it!
The mighty mount of the God of Fire had actually become a messenger, traveling through the night to deliver packages to humans.
Farm was extremely reluctant, but since it was the Elf King's suggestion and the goblin had spoken, could it refute it?
cannot!
Therefore, the humble little monster could only pick up the package angrily and act as a messenger.
In the camp, Hector took a sip of hot water and asked worriedly, "Can it be delivered smoothly?"
He had tried his best to explain the route from here to Snowo Castle and described the appearance of his uncle. He hoped that Farm would successfully deliver the letter.
Shu Li added some firewood to the fire and said with a smile, "Don't worry! Although Farm likes to act young, it is actually an old monster that has lived for tens of thousands of years."
As the mount of the God of Fire, it often carries its master to every corner of the Austin continent. It is completely a living map.
Snow Castle is only fifty kilometers away, so it's a piece of cake for it.
"That's good." Hector sighed, looked at the blazing fire, and apologized to everyone, "I'm sorry that you were affected by me."
If they were not strong enough and did not have Farm's help, they would probably have been ambushed.
“How can you be blamed for this?” Siti said. “The one to blame is that disgusting Bharat.”
Nasha agreed: "You are also a victim."
Hector sighed: "Although I don't want to admit it, my last name is Snowworth after all. I can't escape the blame for the scum in my family."
Puwa Town was once under his father's jurisdiction. After his father's death, he lost his family inheritance rights, but he should have a share of his father's estate. If he hadn't made a big fuss and given others a handle, his grandfather would not have given up on him and deprived him of most of his father's estate.
Logically, he is the manager of Puwa Town.
However, because of his stupidity and ignorance, he was judged as a useless waste by his family and was almost sent to the poor and backward Kashalo area to gather dust.
Fortunately, the appearance of the God of Magic helped him, giving him the opportunity to study at the Magic Academy in the Atrium and meet so many reliable, lovely and trustworthy friends.
"If you feel sorry, why don't you fight for it?" Ace held the warm cup gracefully, looking at Hector with deep green eyes.
"Fight?" Hector was stunned, not understanding the meaning of Ace's words for a moment.
Ace said, "Some things you will never get if you don't fight for them. If you want to change the status quo, you must first change yourself. Only by having the power to control everything can you correct your mistakes."
Shu Li listened to the man's low voice and couldn't help but stare at his perfect profile.
He didn't know why, even though the other person had a faint smile on his face, he couldn't feel his smile. Instead, he felt an inexplicable sadness.
Why is it sad?
How strange!
Seryu subconsciously looked at the blond man opposite him.
He was the only one among the crowd who knew that Ace was the Elf King. Even though he and Harris had a close relationship, he did not reveal this information.
When everyone was chatting, the Elf King rarely spoke and often listened to others with a smile, but whenever he spoke, he would often say something to the point that would enlighten people.
At this moment, he suddenly said these words to Hector, which must have a deep meaning.
Sure enough, after hearing his words, Hector fell into deep thought.
"Ace is absolutely right!" Amanda remarked, feeling a rare emotion. "Before my brother became the Dragon King, he had an uncle who was. But that uncle wasn't a good dragon. He often bullied my brother in disguise and took away the inheritance left to him by our grandfather and parents. Even worse, he hid me when I was still a dragon egg."
"Ah? Why would he do that?" Budno asked in surprise, "Aren't dragon eggs very precious?"
Dixie frowned, "I thought the dragon tribe was as united as the fairy tribe."
Amanda shook her head. "No! The Dragon Clan is a race that values the strong. If my brother and I weren't strong, we wouldn't have been able to inherit the legacy left to us by our grandfather and parents. Back then, my brother was young and I was still an egg. My uncle was the strongest, so he became the King of the Dragon Clan."
"How did Harmon become the Dragon King later?" Shu Li asked curiously.
Harmon is now incredibly strong, even stronger than Zephir who is more than 6,000 years old.
Amanda said proudly, "My brother refused to be controlled by his uncle, so he went to the Elf King to become his disciple!"
"Wow!" the little goblins exclaimed.
Although they knew that Harmon was one of the Elf King's disciples, this was the first time they knew the reason why the Dragon King took the Elf King as his master!
Seleu couldn't help but look at the blond young man with a slight smile on his face.
Hector came back to his senses and listened carefully to Amanda's story about the Dragon King.
"...When my brother became the Elf King's disciple, many dragons objected. They believed that although the Elf King was powerful, he couldn't teach dragons. But my brother was a willful dragon. He ignored the advice of his elders and resolutely flew to the Elf Kingdom. At first, the Elf King didn't agree, so my brother used his shameless ability to beg for mercy. He flew from Dragon Island to the Elf Kingdom every day, waited there all day, and then flew back from the Elf Kingdom to Dragon Island. After a month of this, the Elf King agreed to take him in as his disciple! And so, my brother stayed in the Elf Kingdom to study for five hundred years, and then returned to Dragon Island to compete with his uncle for the throne."
After hearing about the Dragon King becoming his disciple, Shu Li asked in confusion, "Doesn't it mean that if you receive the Elf King's blessing, you become his disciple? Why didn't the Elf King agree at first?"
Amanda scratched the back of her head. "I don't know! That's what my brother told me."
Shu Li mused, "Hmm... maybe there's a special reason."
When I return to the Elf Kingdom later, I will ask the Elf King!
"What happens after we return to Dragon Island?" Disio couldn't wait to know what would happen next.
"Of course I'm challenging my uncle!"
Although Amanda's storytelling ability is not as brilliant as Shu Li's, it is still fascinating.
The little fairies loved listening to stories and they all listened with great interest. Humans were even more curious about the dragons and asked questions from time to time.
Amanda vividly described her brother's challenge to their uncle.
For that battle, all the dragons gathered at Dragon Island, and even the dragons that were out training came upon hearing the news.
Many dragons are not optimistic about Harmon and think that he will lose, only a few dragons support Harmon.
The battle lasted for three days and three nights. Harmon used his strength to tell all the dragons that he possessed the powerful strength of a king.
"...Uncle lost and died. My brother became the new Dragon King." Amanda sighed, "It's a pity that I was still an egg at the time and couldn't see my brother's heroic victory."
After hearing this, the others were all envious.
Hector asks, "Why did your uncle die when he lost?"
Amanda said solemnly, "Because it's a life-and-death struggle, it's either you or me. If my brother loses, his neck will be bitten off by my uncle. Similarly, if my uncle dies, my brother must bite off his neck to intimidate the entire tribe."
Therefore, when a dragon challenges the Dragon King, it must be determined to die.
There are many races in the Austin continent, and each race has its own characteristics and way of survival.
There is no doubt that the battles between dragons are full of blood and cruelty, and it is precisely because of this that the dragon clan has remained powerful and enduring.
"After my brother became the Dragon King, he not only took back the inheritance, but also took over all of my uncle's property. I also returned to my brother." Amanda said, holding her face.
"Were you hatched by your brother?" Shu Li asked.
"Yeah!" Amanda nodded. "It took me a long time to hatch! I was almost considered a dead egg. Luckily, my brother didn't give up on me. He overcame all the pressure and managed to hatch me out."
In order to hatch him, the older brother, a single male dragon, took on the pressure of being both a father and a mother, and rejected the courtship of many female dragons.
Finally, one night twenty-four years ago, he broke out of his shell, shocking the entire clan.
Budno put his arms around his neck and rubbed it hard. "If it weren't for you, I'd be missing a good friend to share delicious food with."
Amanda's cheeks turned slightly red when he rubbed her.
The little goblin is good in everything except that she likes to rub against others.
"Yes, yes!" Angel and Discio also rushed over and hugged him tightly.
The four handsome young men huddled together, causing Shu Li's mouth to twitch slightly.
Hector looked envious.
Non-blood-related friends were as close as brothers, while his blood-related cousins were like enemies, guarding against him like a thief, fearing that he would steal their property.
After his father passed away and his relatives were heartless, he became disheartened and lived his own life away from his family.
However, when he revisited the place, he felt very sad to see that the things his father valued were trampled upon.
When he learned that Bharat had paid someone to assassinate him and his friends, he was furious.
The heart that had been silent for a long time began to beat violently, and a fierce determination to not give up surged in the body.
As Ace said, why should he give up? Why not fight for it?
Some things, if you don’t fight for them, you will never get them.
Without the power to control everything, you cannot change any outcome.
After listening to Amanda's story about the dragon clan, Hector clenched his fists tightly and made a decision.
"This adventure is over, I want to go home." Hector's voice was neither too loud nor too low, loud enough for others to hear clearly.
Shu Li looked at the determination on his face and roughly guessed his thoughts. "I support you."
Budno slapped Hector on the back. "I support you, too!"
Dixio said, "You should go back and take back what belongs to you!"
Nasha said seriously, "If you need our help, just ask."
Although she is not a real princess of Dalia, she can occasionally be used as a gimmick to scare people.
Siti raised her hand: "And me!"
She is a true princess of a great country. As long as Hector reveals that they are friends, the elders of the Snowwo family will know what to do if they are smart.
Soon, others expressed their support.
Hector looked at the sincere faces of his friends, tears welling up in his eyes.
When he first learned that Siti and Nasha were princesses, he did have some thoughts about making friends with them and gaining some benefits.
Later, when Luvitch was causing him trouble, his friends stood up for him, and Sperien even went on stage to compete with Luvitch. He was so moved that he despised himself and gave up those unacceptable thoughts.
Only when friends treat each other with sincerity and open their hearts can their friendship last forever.
He has lost a lot, and now he has a group of friends, and he will never allow anyone to hurt them.
Bharat should never touch his friend.
This made Hector realize clearly that without great power, he couldn't even protect his friends.
So, he decided to end his adventure in the Snow Kingdom, return to the Snowwo family, and take back everything that belonged to him.
Two years ago, Grandpa had said that unless he became a mid-level magician within five years, he would be stripped of his Snowo surname and sent to the Kashalo region to fend for himself.
Now, he could proudly tell those people in his family who laughed at him that instead of five years, he would be able to become an intermediate magician in just one year.
But his achievements will not stop there. In the future, he will become a magician, a great wizard, and even a magic saint.
He wants to fight side by side with his friends and become a brave warrior who saves the world.
That night, Farm was away, and the Light Team took turns keeping watch. Hector was in high spirits and insisted on keeping watch for the first half of the night.
That night, Kadimer Snowo, who was far away in Snowo Castle, was quite frightened.
He attended a banquet and was drunk. With the help of his servants, he walked into his house, singing a tuneless song as he walked, reminiscing about the beautiful ladies he met at the banquet, wondering whether he should develop a relationship with them or have an affair with them.
Suddenly, a red ball appeared in front of him.
"Hello, are you Cadimer Snowver?"
The red ball made a childish sound.
Cadimer and his servant were startled.
Damn it!
How can the ball talk?
"Master... Master, it's a monster! A monster!" The servant was not drunk. When he saw the true appearance of the ball, he was trembling with fear.
When Cadimer heard the word "Warcraft", his drunkenness subsided by 80% and he subconsciously mobilized the magic power in his body.
"Hey, are you Kadimer Snowwo?" the little monster asked again.
"...I am," Cadimo calmed himself and replied. Although the monster was small, the pressure it released was powerful and should not be underestimated.
"Oh, I finally found it! Hector was right, you are really brave. The others screamed in fear when they saw me, but you remained calm." The little monster flapped its wings, approached Cadimer, and examined his face. "Hmm, there is a mole in the left corner of the eye, that's for sure!"
Cadimer stood there not daring to move, and the servant beside him rolled his eyes in fear and almost fainted.
It wasn't that he was calm, but the alcohol that numbed his nerves and slowed his reaction. By the time he reacted, the little monster had already approached him.
When he heard the little monster say "Hector", Cadimer forced himself to calm down.
Farm had no idea of Kadimer's active thoughts. After confirming the recipient, he stuffed the package in his paw into the other's arms.
"This is the package Hector gave you. There's a letter inside. Take a close look."
"...Thank you." Kadimer hugged the package.
Farm flapped his wings and flew into the sky. "Now that the letter has been delivered, I'm leaving. Oh, and by the way, I ate the fruit from the tree in the yard. It tasted good."
Without waiting for Kadimer's response, Farm turned into a red light and flew away with a whoosh.
Kadimer raised his head and looked in the direction of the red light message, without saying a word for a long time.
The servant had just recovered his strength, but when he heard that the fruits in the yard had been eaten by monsters, he almost fainted again.
"Master! The golden pineapple dragon fruit was eaten by a monster!" the servant shouted.
Kadimer said expressionlessly, "I understand. No need to shout."
I've been planting the golden pineapple dragon tree for ten years. It finally produced a fruit, but it's gone, gone!
Cadimer gritted his teeth: "Damn Hector, it's better if something happens, otherwise——"
Returning to the living room, he opened the package and saw a precious crystal ore and two letters.
One letter had a power of attorney written on it, and the other had his name on it.
Cadimer opened the second letter and read it carefully, his expression changing from indifference to surprise, and finally to a frown with anger in his eyes.
"Barat! How brave!"
Then he opened the power of attorney and became more and more angry as he read it, scaring the servant so much that he dared not say a word.
After a while, Cadimer picked up the expensive crystal ore and injected magic power into it according to the method Hector said in the letter.
In an instant, the crystal ore lit up and several exquisite and complex magic circles emerged. When the magic circles disappeared, images appeared in the air.
Is this... the photo stone my nephew mentioned? It's truly magical! If we develop it and mass-produce it, we could make a fortune.
Cadimer stared at the image intently, listening to the questions and answers between Hector and the mercenary, his silver-gray eyes deep.
After a long time, the image disappeared and the living room returned to silence.
The servant didn't dare to breathe and looked at his master secretly.
Kadimer had sobered up long ago, and unlike his usual laziness, he was now like an angry snow wolf.
It seemed that his claws had not seen blood for too long, so everyone treated him as a harmless rabbit.
As for Hector, I haven’t seen him for two years. He has changed a lot!
Sure enough, a wolf cub that leaves the pack will eventually grow into a ferocious lone wolf.
In the early morning, Farm successfully returned to the camp and asked Shu Li for a bunch of fruits as a reward. He ate and boasted about it. When everyone learned that he had eaten the fruits in Hector's uncle's yard, they were dumbfounded.
"No, you just deliver the letter, how can you steal other people's fruits?" Shu Li grabbed its wings and shook it hard.
Isn’t it too embarrassing?
Farm was dizzy and dazed, his fat and short front legs tightly holding a fruit.
"I was so bored waiting! The fruit was so fragrant, I couldn't resist chewing it. I left a sunstone under the tree as an apology."
Sunstone is very expensive and is an important material for making magical armor. A small piece of it is worth a fortune.
As a fire dragon lizard living in the desert, Farm has a lot of these things, so he won't feel bad about giving one away.
Shu Li dropped it helplessly and looked at Hector apologetically.
Hector coughed lightly and said, “I don’t think Third Uncle will mind.”
Sunstone is much more valuable than golden pineapple dragon fruit.
Shu Li pointed fiercely at the little demon beast's forehead, commanding it to return to the Vulcan Seal. Falmu, eager to return to sleep, stuck out his forked tongue, opened his mouth, and tucked the fruit into his space capsule, transforming into a streak of red light and burrowing into the back of Shu Li's right hand.
Team Light packed up their camp and continued their journey to the Snow Country.
The further north they went, the more desolate the country became. One day later, they entered the Kashalo region near the Snow Kingdom.
Just as Hector said, the Kashalo region is desolate and cold, with no villages to be seen for half a day, and magical beasts often appear there.
Although this is Snowvo's territory, it is lifeless.
It is hard to imagine how Hector would survive if he was sent here by his family.
Hector had never been to the Kashalo area before. Looking at the bleak scene in front of him, his heart tightened, and he hated even more those people in the family who took advantage of his misfortune and had bad intentions.
When his father was alive, he did not treat them badly, and some of them even received help from his father. He never expected that after his father died, they would be so eager to persecute him, his only son.
Seeing his gloomy face, Shu Li pressed his shoulders and comforted him softly: "You still have us."
Hector relaxed his brow and said sincerely: “Yes, I have you.”
There is no time for him to feel sorry for himself. He needs to become stronger and fight for everything through his own efforts.
This year is the opening year of the Snow Country, and adventure groups from all over the continent are flocking in. As the carriage approaches the Snow Country, more and more adventure groups are encountered on the road.
In the evening, the carriage arrived at Snow Village, the only village near the Snow Country.
Snow Village is quite large, with more than a dozen hotels, and all the people coming and going are travelers, adventurers, and mercenaries.
There are four or five taverns, restaurants, weapon shops, armor shops, pharmacies, and fur winter clothing stores in the village.
Shu Li and others asked six hotels and finally found a hotel with four vacant rooms.
They arranged the carriage and stepped into the hotel, where they were immediately stared at by many pairs of eyes.
The hall was filled with adventurers, including humans, dwarves, goblins, dark elves, orcs, and half-orcs, a mixture of good and bad people.
Although Shu Li and the others were wearing gray hooded cloaks, they could not conceal their clean aura.
The experienced adventurers had sharp eyes and knew they were a group of rookies the moment they walked in.
All kinds of malicious looks were cast at Shu Li and the others.
Both Siti and Nasha got goosebumps.
The boys subconsciously protected them, and Seleu instantly released a sharp sword energy, shocking the entire audience.
He is a high-level swordsman!
All those who tried to test it restrained their breath and dared not look again.
No wonder a group of rookies dared to go out for training, it turned out that there was a terrifying high-level swordsman in the team.
The pressure was reduced and Siti and Nasha breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not easy to allocate four rooms for twelve people.
Fortunately, the little goblins can become smaller, so five of them can easily fit into one room.
So Shuli suggested that Siti and Nasha share one room, Seleu, Harris, and Hector share one room, Ace and Amanda share one room, and the five little fairies share one room.
Ace glanced at Amanda and walked into the room silently.
Amanda suddenly shuddered and followed him into the house in a daze.
There were all kinds of people downstairs, and Shu Li didn't want to cause trouble, so she asked the restaurant to deliver the food to her room.
After dinner, everyone gathered in a room for a small meeting.
"There are more than two hundred adventure teams entering the Snow Country this time, and they include people of all races. You must pay attention to safety on the road." Shu Li said seriously.
"Be careful tonight," Ace said solemnly, "Lock the door and beware of being attacked in the middle of the night."
Budno was shocked: "Can't you sleep well tonight?"
Harris frowned. "There are no regulations here. It's not uncommon for adventurers to die in the inn."
Shu Li looked at Siti and Nasha and said hesitantly, "How about... I stay in the same room with you guys!"
It is always worrying to have two girls living in the same room.
He can become smaller and sleep next to the pillow without taking up any space on the bed.
Siti and Nasha looked at each other and nodded, "Okay, okay!"
They haven't seen a fairy shrink yet!
When Shu Li met their bright eyes, she felt a chill down her spine, and felt as if she had dug a hole for herself.
Ace frowned and said, "This isn't very appropriate. If someone suddenly breaks in and finds the shrunken fairy, it will cause even more trouble."
"Huh?" Shu Li was stunned. "What should I do then?"
Ace said, "Let Amanda sleep on the floor. You, me, and Budno will share one. Budno will shrink and sleep next to the pillow, and you should stay in your normal size. Also, Kumandi, Angel, and Desio will share one, and one of them should stay in a large size to ensure everything is safe."
