Chapter 109: Bandits from Neighboring Countries
Aichen ran to the White Stone Tower early in the morning to negotiate with the magicians. Meanwhile, Shadisa and her father, the Golden Crown, are inspecting the harvest of the Blue Beast Divine Soul in their own Blackstone Tower.
There is a dungeon inside the Blackstone Tower, a dungeon in the literal sense of the word. The prisoner was locked up in an underground room, surrounded only by walls and no doors, and only with a window overhead, where the Blue Beast Altar was set up.
For several days, the King of the Golden Crown threw the meat of the beasts collected and purchased from all over the world into the dungeon along the skylight to feed the violent creatures that spawned out of thin air. Up to now, many green beasts have completed their 24-hour life journey normally, turning into gods and dying at the altar.
Judging by the current amount of food these guys, the meat supply of the creatures in the clouds will be cut off within five days. If it can't be replenished by then, then it's time to fool around with ordinary livestock meat. Regarding this matter, we have to discuss it with Aichen to see if we can find a solution.
Shatisha and the Golden Crown stood by the skylight and looked into the dungeon, where they could see strange clusters of light condensing around the altar.
"Is this the soul of the green beast? So bright. Shadisa suddenly sighed, "Why don't we humans leave souls behind after death...... Is it because of the lack of a human altar? Or do we humans have no soul at all? β
The King of the Golden Crown looked at his daughter who made strange remarks, and always felt that his kingdom might not be able to survive the next generation. That's right, my heir is really a little naΓ―ve and useless. But it's pretty.
'It seems that we must quickly recruit a son-in-law who knows how to govern the country......
Just as His Majesty was in his distraction, the Imperial Chamberlain sent a letter from the previous one to a neighbouring country. After confirming the identity of the sage in the clouds, the king once wrote several letters to send out, one of which was sent to the neighboring countries, warning them of the beast tide in a month. Now that the reply came, the neighboring kingdom of Shasha did not say a word about the beast tide, but described something else.
The Golden Crown King frowned and read the letter twice, looking as if he was embarrassed about something. Shadisa rarely saw her father show such an expression, and asked curiously.
"Dad, what did Xia Sha say over there?"
"Uh, nothing. They want to borrow troops from us to suppress the bandits. β
"Huh?!" This sentence made Shadisha say a little foggy, "Xia Sha asked us to borrow troops, you are wrong, how is it possible." β
The Kingdom of the Golden Crown is a kingdom of scholars, with many magicians, a very high national literacy rate, and a wealth of literary works. Its ideology has a strong influence on neighboring countries. However, in terms of troops, it is quite average, there are only three legions that can fight, and the land area is not very large.
In contrast, the neighboring Xia Sha has fifteen legions, all of which are not inferior to the Flame Regiment, and their combat effectiveness is very strong. But in this reply, the queen of Shasha mentions that several bandits entrenched in the mountains were called upon by a fellow who called himself the 'robber king' to form an army and rebel, and in a few days they captured two cities and scattered seven legions.
Queen Xia Sha estimated that the remaining troops of her family were not enough for this gang of robbers to fight for half a month, so she hurriedly sent a request for help while the letter from the Golden Crown Kingdom, hoping to get some help, and the two countries attacked and destroyed these robbers before and after.
The Golden Crown King showed the letter to his daughter, and Shattisha had the same expression as her father.
"What's the matter, do Xiasha's soldiers have diarrhea collectively, how can they be ...... by a group of robbers?"
Compared with his daughter, the King of the Golden Crown cared more about the 'robber king' mentioned in the letter. In Queen Shasha's narrative, the robber king appeared out of thin air, and it seems to be the same time as her own sage in the clouds.
'Which of these...... Isn't there any connection? β
Shadisa asks her father if he wants to borrow troops, and the Golden Crown rolls his eyes, despairing at his daughter's incompetence and innocence.
"Alas~ Shaty, you'd better grow up and get married quickly. Help me recruit a good son-in-law who can do it. β

After leaving the White Stone Tower, Aichen returns to the palace and finds Momiji. She was fishing with Garnis in a small lake in the palace, while Maluni was sitting in a rocking chair beside her, reading a book.
It can be seen that the three of them are used to palace life. As the 'friends' of the sages in the clouds, they have been treated very well, and their lives are quite nourishing.
"Momiji, Maruni. You two come over for a while, there's a good thing. β
Ai Chen held two cards in his hands, which were the language cards of this world. He planned to teach the language of the lost sage in the clouds to the two girls in front of him.
Seeing Aichen coming, Momiji and Maluni immediately became nervous, and walked up to him with their hands and feet, their foreheads covered with beads of sweat, and they swallowed vigorously.
If it was just Maluni's appearance, Aichen would be understandable. After all, he had scared her before, saying that he wanted to make her a little slave. But now even Momiji's thirty or so people are like this, which is a little strange.
"What's wrong with you two, I don't feel very welcome."
"Welcome, welcome." The second daughter hurriedly pulled the corners of her mouth and squeezed out a smile, "Do you have any orders for coming today?" As long as the sage speaks, the two of us will obey. β
Aichen grabbed the back of his head and cast an inquiring gaze at Garnis, who was snickering on the side. She apparently knew something.
At this time, Garnis had short ear-length hair, which seemed to have been sorted out by himself, and it was quite good-looking. Maybe it's not that good-looking, and I think she's pleasing to the eye just because she's cleaner. In short, the whole person looks a lot more energetic and more attractive than before.
Garnis said that in the past two days, Momiji and Maluni have read a lot of books about the sage in the clouds, all of which are authoritative works.
The two of them said that according to their bullshit academic knowledge of Sky Island, it was said that it was prevalent to be male and inferior, and polygamy. That is, many women serve one man together. So the two of them were scared, afraid that you would let us serve you together. By the way, I personally don't care, who made you a big celebrity. β
Aichen asked Momiji and Maluni with his gaze, and the two turned their heads sideways to avoid his gaze, looking weak-hearted.
"What are you afraid of?"
Aichen was a little devastated, remembering if he had conveyed the wrong signal at some point. There may have been a little bit of it for Maluni, but he swore that he had never touched the autumn leaves.
"Alright, don't guess. My sister is enough, I don't need you, I don't have any thoughts about you two. β
Hearing this, Maruni breathed a sigh of relief, and then changed to an embarrassed expression and didn't know how to deal with herself. Momiji smiled awkwardly, with a complicated expression, not knowing what he was thinking.
