Location: Pastalia
As one of the most prosperous cities in the Saijing royal family, this place became the final resting place for everyone.
This week's journey was finally less bumpy. The fighting on the front lines had not yet fully begun, and the people continued with their previous lives.
The villages and towns along the way provided them with a lot of help, and Dylan received sufficient medical care, gradually recovering her health.
The remaining Blood Riders remained silent, their minds seemingly undergoing some change.
“Elshie, these lower-ranking vampires are quite interesting,” Jacoban said as he peeled fruit with a knife.
Inside the hotel, everyone rested and awaited their departure the next day.
Elsie sat on the edge of the bed, quietly reading a novel from the Eastern Business Alliance.
In response to Yagenan's words, she silently looked up at him.
Yagnan used his knife to pick up a fruit and put it in Elsie's mouth, continuing, "Some children in the family can also bestow bloodlines upon other races, which is one of Sia's own abilities."
"But this bloodline is usually diluted, which leads to a significant weakening of the offspring's mental capacity."
"Seven of Xia's ten offspring turned into heartless demons, and the ancestors dealt with them in secret."
Ya Ge Nan wiped the knife dry with a handkerchief and continued, "Therefore, this ability will not be used within the family unless it is in dire straits."
“But your vampire cavalry are different.” Jacoban pointed to the vampire cavalrymen who were resting in the shadows.
After a fierce battle, they became more silent than ever before. The Blood Cavalry, now reduced to less than one in ten, had lost all their former glory.
Some of them shivered in their sleep, while others leaned against the wall, reaching out to try and catch the light streaming into the room through the window.
Some looked up at the ceiling, seemingly lost in thought.
“Elshie, they may have been changed by you,” Jacoban laughed. “Regardless of how you initially made them willingly become savage lower-class vampires.”
"To live a lifetime like a wild beast..."
"But at least for now, and someday in the future, they will regain the freedom they once had."
Looking at the Blood Riders, Yorgonan said to Elsie, "You don't need to care about the sacrifices they chose."
"The path you've walked, they've accompanied you, and in doing so, they've been redeemed once again by you..."
"..." Elsie swallowed the fruit and continued reading her book.
Yagenan sat on the edge of the bed, patted her head, and said earnestly, "We're going home."
...
Continuing westward from outside Pastalia, the group stopped again at a harbor.
The seagulls in Hefeng Harbor were always so noisy. A ship in the harbor seemed to have been waiting for everyone for a long time. A group of men in black nodded to Yage Nan.
Everyone successfully boarded the ship.
According to Jacoban, the ship will take everyone into the true ancestral land.
Half of the Xiya people also control this Hefeng Port. No one knows the true entrance to the ancestral land except for the ferrymen of these families.
Inside the dimly lit cabin, everyone sat quietly, experiencing the strange, turbulent sensation and marveling at it.
"If the inland sea is already so turbulent, then the even more turbulent outer sea is simply not a place where humans can navigate."
Ya Ge Nan asked curiously, "That's really strange, how did those Eastern Merchant Alliance fleets manage to cross the border?"
“Maybe their ships are bigger?” Connor laughed. “Who knows? I’m not a seaman!”
“The East is far more powerful than you imagine,” the taciturn Lynn said. “You should be grateful that those continuous mountain ranges prevented the Eastern continent from connecting with this place.”
"Otherwise, a thousand years ago, this place would have been all land in the East."
Lynn's words attracted everyone's attention, and Lynn was also telling her own secret.
“My family declined in the West, and I also suffered from a strange illness that was difficult to cure,” Lynn said, recalling his short childhood.
"The last of my people bribed the ship to the East. I witnessed the madness at sea and drifted on the sea for three whole years."
"Finally, I went to that land of gold."
"They don't have a deliberate division of professions there; instead, they focus on individual martial arts skills."
"In their view, a person's all-round development can make him competent in all positions, while the lowest level is called Wu Zu, the basic military force of a city, estimated to be 10,000 Wu Zu."
"I can say that each of them has the strength of a level 100 expert."
“That’s impossible,” Connor said with a laugh. “That’s too exaggerated.”
“Perhaps what you’ve seen is only their strongest city?” Parker said.
“I don’t know.” Lynn continued, “The Wu Zu Zhi Shang is a Wu general. I’ve never seen one, but his strength is definitely at the peak of the human level.”
"And above military generals?" Trisna asked curiously.
Lynn looked at the flint in his hand and recalled, "My illness was cured on a mountain."
"I have met a true powerhouse... an immortal."
"I don't know how strong that person is, but now that I think about it, it seems like they're keeping some secret."
"The changes a thousand years ago caused most immortals to give up the struggle and instead suppress certain beings, eventually leading them to the mortal world."
Seeing how attentively everyone was listening, Lynn smiled and continued, "Above the immortals, there are emperors. I've never seen an emperor, but I've heard people there say that an emperor can control every corner of the eastern lands and can accurately kill anyone from tens of thousands of miles away!"
...
"Later, I returned to this continent with the Eastern Merchant Alliance, and following the guidance of that immortal, I came here..."
After talking for a long time, Lynn was amused by the wonderful journey, and the things that happened along the way probably made him feel that he could die without regrets.
"?" He suddenly glanced at the cabin, where everyone had already fallen asleep amidst the turbulence!
It turns out that the stories I told became their most beautiful lullabies before bedtime.
"Oh well, it's just a fleeting memory, like a dream." Lynn smiled and rested against the corner.
I think I should show my face at this time.
[(The sound of water boiling)]
It was really hard to cook this bowl of instant noodles!
They don't even provide hot water here! That's insane!
Luckily, I'm resourceful enough to grab a bunch of candles and light them, which is how I finally got to eat my instant noodles. Although the process was very long, the result was fantastic!
Now, let me see the replay; what despicable things you've done along the way.
[Hmm... (replay of the battle) Hiss... (replay of the border skirmish) Elsie's been slacking off a bit... (replay of her daily life after escaping) Your journey has been quite something.]
[Elsie, did you break some heavenly law in your past life? You're being chased and hacked down the whole way!]
"Ugh~" Elsie rolled over and went back to sleep.
【ha……】
【Elsie.】
【Good evening. 】
