Chapter 75 (1/2)
Chapter 75: The Surface
Laince Fort, or Laince Stronghold, is the city nearest to the underground tunnel’s exit It is also the city which we chose to reside in
The Laince Stronghold lies on the Kier Highlands Located on the lands of the Ming United Kingdom, it is one of the sturdiest Forts in the entire country
Designed by ant and strong Spanning ten meters tall and threeit was the Giant Tribe Man-eating fish can be found filling the hbor The entrance of the Underground World is always open Anyone can enter, anyone can exit
The seasonal plundering of the Underground Beast of the Dark Elves to assault the Surface Elves deep in the night, the departure of Red Dragons and Black Dragons through the underground tunnels to look for new flavors, the Liches and Necromancers who sneak out in search of experimental materials, the Demons who look for tributes, the worshi+ppers of Malevolent Gods… Alright, even I find it reasonable for the citizens of the Underground World to be exiled and vieith hostility
At least, just counting those in the underground tunnel, we havetea Casio, bows and leaves, whereas the forht of the Gray Elves, are stunned for a e their training targets and pounce towards us
Alright, just after for to conduct a little bit of training so as to grind our tea abilities of the newcomers However, it hen Casio raised his bone bow to point the golden arrow in the bowstring towards one Elf after another, as though choosing between targets Someone shouted the ‘Golden Bow’, upon which all of the Dark Elves immediately retreated
Of course, that valiant look of Casio pulling the bowstring to shoot is visually a, totally different fro a certain Beast Taht of Casio, I start to worry for this Centaur hero once again
“Gold-rank prie yet, whichthe Centaurs, it would be quite an incredible feat However, he is still slightly lacking compared to the Dracon Beast Taiven the fellow’s unscrupulousyou perforer you are in, you know”
I was of thewas chatting happily with him, which put , just looking at his outer appearance, is tall and burly with a quaint face, giving quite a favorable ientle The words that he speaks are interesting and knowledgeable, giving a philosophical feeling through his speech, as though spoken by a ht, it is precisely because he has a decent appearance with a glib tongue, that’s why there are sothreat to society
His ie as an honest older brother, the appropriate and ihter complements Casio’s disposition, who seems cold but actually worries for his future More i Centaur and very quickly, after doing an initial probe under Beifeng’s hard work, laughter was added into their conversation
Diana found it hard to watch on and kindly walked forward to warn hi bad with her words, before she could even slip in a sentence, she was instead sent off stoent lifefor life by their race and outer appearance Yes, I a within my veins But, those who are acquainted with me know that I am someone who passionately loves life and little anily, but those who are faentle too”
Alright, his hurt expression seerievance, as though Diana is the bad person racially discriainst hiood-hearted Diana is unable to speak of his disgusting past actions and could only walk away, shaking her head
“Big Sister, you are being too nosey! Won’t the Centaur kid understand it in two days or so?”
“But by then, it will already be too late!”
“Puu!” As expected, those who are purer tend to have a wilder i the words ‘too late’, the other people ily at the famous Golden Bow, especially at the horse armor on his lower body
“The little brat knows not of the har of the chrysanthemum”
TL: Chrysanthe the chrysantheht, I have no idea who made that twisted poem, but the coh even harder Un, facing Diana’s ‘how can you be like this’ questioning stare, at least I won’t admit that it is nores everyone else after joining the band, even pretending not to hear Krose’s polite greeting On the journey, he even called out to other people by just their race, like ‘Hey, that Gnome over there’, ‘Hey, that fat hu quite a lot of people
Thus, seeing that Beifeng has set his sights on him, the rest of the band, other than the kind Diana, have no intentions to expose Beifeng’s intentions and choose to happily watch him make a fool of himself
Back to the main topic, other than the joint attack by the Dark Elves near the exit, the journey was still quite smooth
But then, alked onto the Surface World, bathed in the fa at the boundless blue sky and the vast endless earth, even I felt agitated
The Roland Sacred Sword on h describing its impatience to head somewhere The direction it hopes to proceed towards, naturally, is the north of the continent
“East Mist Communal Country, huh? The descendants of the Mist? I do want to test his capabilities If he is unable to lorious title…”
Shakingbehindvery well all of a sudden
The previously high-spirited Momo sits weakly on the floor with her eyes shut, while the pale-faced Diana half-kneels on the floor with her body lowered,words that seem like a prayer from her lips
“I won’t fall upwards, I won’t fall upwards”
Walking up to her, I realize that she is actually talking to herself In that instant, I can’t suppress hter
This isn’t any rare ail in the mines, when one stares at the vast, endless sky froh one will be taken away by the sky, an illusion of falling towards the heavens
This is an instinctive s Those experienced miners would feel better after a while, but for the Dark Elves who have stayed in the Underground World for their entire lives, it isn’t that easy to deal with
They were born in the Underground World, they are already used to seeing the dark solid rock walls on top of the clouds and even ht by the luht to them have suddenly disappeared, it is just like if the Surface huht and blue sky were to be suddenly taken away from them Even if they rationally know that they would be fine, but the discomfort they physically feel still cannot be avoided
Based on what I know, this is known as a ‘phobia of vast open spaces’ and it is a reflex action It will take at least a couple of months to overcome it, with quite a feho fail to overcome it their entire lives
The Gray Elves, who froht, are in the worst shape of all They are sent straight to the carriage so that they can rest As for Casio, even though his four hooves are slightly tre, he still puts on a calht
Yingou, Hoyle and the other veterans have been to the Surface World innuoes for the few fellows possessing Law jobs; they are already happily doing what they should be doing
As for Clint, it should be his first time on the Surface as well His expression cannot be seen under the thick ar at how he keeps trying to feel for the grenades on his waist to seek a sense of safety froood condition
What, we are still lacking a person? Alright, I’ll admit that I intentionally left him out, yet you all still want to talk about him That’s suicidal
“Are you still okay? Why don’t you rest in the carriage for a bit?”
“No, it’s okay I’ at how the others are fine, even when his Big Brother Beifeng sincerely asks for his condition out of concern, how could the stubborn Centaur admit defeat in front of everyone else
“My brother, let iddy”
The black Dracon suddenly sits on the floor and rests on Casio’s abdomen Casio is stunned for a moment before realization strikes him A sht, since that’s the case, then I will let you lean on me for a bit”
Thus, the proud Centaur Prince lowers all four of his legs and sits down just like a war horse, allowing Beifeng to lean on one side of his abdo on the floor with someone to lean on, he feels the war Centaur Prince’s wildly beating heart slon as his ‘phobia of vast open spaces’ improves
The ice mountain of the cold-faced, but warratefully
“Thank you, Big Brother Beifeng”
“Why are you thankingBrother, you sure are a good person”
“You haven’t seen the best side of me yet, but there will beon each other, the Dracon and Centaur start chatting Their hands even ‘accidentally’ ht of their love is hard to look at properly
Looking at the fearso in front of me, I rub my temple and secretly make upalive, so as to prevent hi at how the others are grinding their teeth or feeling nauseated, the hts If it weren’t for the fact that the young ace Archer wasn’t weak, we ht have already taken action
Laince Fort isn’t that far away froe to reach our destination before sunset However, just as we approach the city gates, we uy over there, remove your helmet for inspection Also, whose Dracon slave is that? Will he bite? Has he been i Brother is treated like an ani to shoot the guards in his usual fashi+on I rush to his side to stop hi the Surface
Actually, what the guard had said alsothe Dracon, if it weren’t for the presence of Holy Knights in our band, he probably would have long called for people to surround us and put us down
The Dracons, being an artificial creation, are unique They are different froon Descendants who have h they have their own tribe and culture, they are indeed an unnatural creation During the chaotic ancient tion Goddess Tiamat and an evil Necromancer created theons (Red Dragon, Black Dragon, Blue Dragons etc), and Beifeng hions
On the other hand, the coon and Silver Dragon who are sided towards Order) don’t have the slightest goodwill towards these Dracons Due to the natural restraints of their bloodline, a large portion of Dracons still act as the servants of the evil giant Dragons, such as the new Dragon Eon City which Xiao Hong is currently building
This is also why Beifeng could use those words to gain Casio’s recognition earlier on That is because in a lot of places, even if they are blessed with talent and are strong individually, due to the discriround World, even Black Dragons and Red Dragons die easily from battle, thus it is easy for their servants and their following descendants to achieve freedoround World is probably the place where most of the free Dracons are
