Volume 12 Chapter 10 (1/2)
Chapter 10: The Ancient Residential Area
Location: Taiwan Ti teoing straight down There was an uneasy feeling pressing down fro to i here” Disregarding the sudden change in the surrounding environment, Senior walked up to a room on his own and kicked the door open
White sushed out fro before us was a clean guest rooht that was turned on in the guest rooht I rehts in the rooht
There were a couple of people lying on the bed in the room…I think they should be people, because some of them didn't seem to have human faces and had other weird faces For example, I saw someone with a cat face but the body of a person
“Is it another sorcerer co at the doorway, a youth lying in the center of the bed slowly got up The few people next to hi a very interested expression to size us up
It was only after he'd propped himself up that I noticed, the lower half of this person was actually that of a snake's body, with piles upon piles of scales occupying the bed
“You're the guys that have been playing tricks below this shi+p?” Staring at the half-snake person in front of us, Senior asked back in a not-so-polite tone
“So what if we are? The dozens of sorcerers before you didn't tell you guys that this place shouldn't be reen hair, the youth's distant tone so provocatively said: “The last one's hair got burned off; the one before that cried his way back How do you guys want to go back?” As soon as he finished saying that, several people next to hih
“Sorry, but this tioing back” Senior coldly snorted, ignoring the other side's provocation, then turned his wrist, [The surging Goddess of ice, lend me your swords of punish, Flowing Song of the Cold Moon]
I thought Senior would probably use his Illusionary Weapon, but instead, what appeared in his pale half-moon scihtly icy and transparent, you could feel the frigid chill fro near them
The ballfish in ht be frozen into an ice-cold sponge fish, so I took a few steps back
The snake-bodied youth in the room saw the scied co scied The rest of the people in the entire room shoed expressions as well
Do the sciins?
Secretly sizing up that very fa pair of sciraved with beautiful lines They felt like they were even glowing a little, giving uys plan to continue being entangled with this shi+p, I will beco by the door, Senior twirled the scimitars and coldly said
The few people inside the rooether and started to talk about who-knohat, whispering as if they weren't speaking hu while, a few people ain, and that snake-bodied youth sat up: “If you're so treasure, then you should also be aware that it was this shi+p that used that our residence as buildingus to be up here”
Senior nodded
“We were originally the seventy two spirits of the White Steel Stone Residence Since ancient times, we have been respected and worshi+pped by humans, and we also protected the area But we never expected that just e had gone out with each other, hus stole our place of residence under the cover of night After being sold, it wash several places, it had already become part of the hull And many of our companions who stayed in the residence had also been burned down in the raging fire due to being unable to escape in time, their souls scattered into pieces; not even a bit was left of them Now there are only a few dozens of our companions who escaped because they were not there” Like an icy face wearing a mask as he stated the events of the past, the youth and his coly watched Senior: “Afterwards, another bunch of sorcerers self-righteously came to drive us out as if ere monsters or forces of evil Think about it, how could I possibly let the matter rest?”
[T/N: 异体 it technicallyfor this]
Hearing it this way, it seeaveback to look at that youth: “However, you're not only influencing this shi+p Even the guests on the shi+p are also being harassed During your forcible occupation, didn't you also cause the other residents trouble”
“Since the huer respect us, why do we have to take thehtly, wearing a smile that sent chills down one's spine, “Before our place of residence was destroyed, we seventy two spirits were once even revered as guardian Gods, so the spirits in the residence were all fond of hu to peacefully coexist But it was not us who broke this rule first”
The surroundings all fell silent
I looked at the other people in the roo or standing, all of the at us ide-open eyes
For aside
“Since you don't want to have dealings with humans anymore, why don't you just set out for the place of rest” Probably also having the sa his hands and withdrew the scimitars Those tords immediately disappeared in the air
“Hmph, before our resentment vanishes, ill not leave easily” The snake-bodied youthsound It was obviously impossible for the the conversation, Senior looked at the supernatural beings in the whole roo while: “What conditions do you have that you want to negotiate with the other side before you are willing to give up?”
The snake-bodied youth tossed his head, his long tail tightly curled up on the bed: “Even without any conditions, on't give up”
“Then fine, I'll coain I hope you can think clearly by yourselves, or else if it really reaches the point where it won't work out, I will use strongthat, Senior took two steps back, pulling the door open
The entire surroundings quieted
Senior didn't say anything
I didn't say anything either
I didn't knohat I should say To destroy them would be impossible, to peacefully talk it out would be i However, they shouldn't be in this place either
“Chu, before I coement with the Guild, don't approach this place for now, and don't approach those things again either” After saying just this, Senior took out a yellow gelow and threw it in front of that door The geh the floor on its own and vanished
I felt as if the surrounding air had returned to nor from just now had also disappeared
“This is a barrier stone It will te other places The rest I will handle later” Saying that, Senior turned his head and walked up the stairs
Not daring to stay any longer, I followed and i the white ballfish That roo us leave
Once we returned to the floor of our own roo he needed to find the shi+p captain for and left in a hurry
I guess it's probably due to theSenior leave, I suddenly remembered that I still had a white ballfish to deal with
“Seriously though, please don't co into the room, I opened the balcony, and threw the ballfish back into the sea
“Chirp~~”
That sound quickly disappeared in the waves
For soht now Miao Miao's fine, Chifuyu or Ryan or the others are all fine too I don't know if rashly calling the outwhile, I dialed Chifuyu's number
It probably took less than a few seconds before the call was instantly connected: “Yang Yang? Are you looking for ?” From the other end caround, as if there was quite a lot of people
“Uh, did I disturb you?” I suspect I heard the sound of soht noay” From the other side of the phone caround noise became farther and farther, until at the end it couldn't be heard it at all, “They're currently preparing for a festival, so it's very noisy Don't worry about it”
“I, I'm sorry” Now I suddenly felt that I should have sent a text first asking him if he was free Maybe I actually did disturb Chifuyu
“Yang Yang, you suddenly called h he was on the other side of the people, I suddenly felt like I could sense Chifuyu pushi+ng his glasses up while he asked, “Aih, it's nothing much in fact…” For some reason, I fell silent then cos that happened today Listening to me talk the whole time, on the other side, Chifuyu occasionally responded Then just like that, he listened tohis uardians”
“Guardians?”
“You said that most of them had bodies that were a combination of human and animal So I think it's very likely to be the case, and if it's seventy two spirits in a residence, it's even ain spoke: “In ancient tiuardians like this Most of them were loved dearly Animals or people etc, that were offered up would have monu-terraded, and then they protect the village frolou (灵髅) literal translation is spirit skull but I have no idea what that means]
Wait a minute, then isn't that very siht of some places that all had plaques with a bunch of names and the like written on them
“Then is there a better way to solve this?”
“Most of the time, if it's due to relocation or other problereet the village guardians If they didn't move residence, they will return to the place of rest Basically, couardians would rarely have issues of causing trouble However, s If it can't be disposed of at will, it's destroyed, just like what Senior said: those whose hory Therefore, this also resulted in a large nus that cause trouble…It should be said to be a cultural issue”
That's right, if that's the case, then I have encountered things like this before too, like the Beast of Scroll or the Old Man; they're all very sih I know they're not in the wrong, they have already caused bad influences Then, I re as they become distorted, the only outcome is to become part of the Ghost Tribe
Those people in the roo, you just need to rery After all, they originally protected humans, so they aren't able to harden their hearts and really want to take human lives either” From the other end of the phone, Chifuyu's voice came over like this
For a short while, I still didn't really understand what he ht have an idea of what he's trying to convey
“The village guardians are actually still very fond of hu as si people away”
“Nn, I think I understand”
For so Chifuyu explain, ht, I received the lunch box Thank you for that, the desserts were delicious” Abruptly changing to another topic, Chifuyu quite cheerfully said: “Ryan was also very happy I heard you gave him rice balls”
“Oh, yeah” In fact, I really wanted to chat so Chifuyu's nah, it looks like he's currently busy: “Then I guess that's it for now I'll tell you guys the rest when school starts”
