Chapter 83: Love and Anger
With the help of Lady Bi, Aichen 'harvested' a wave of the newly 'produced' green beasts in the cave, and then 'sowed and planted' them again.
Once that was done, the two planned to make their way into the city at night and go to the White Stone Tower of the Magicians for help. Because of her huge size, she couldn't ride a horse, so she had to travel overnight to arrive tomorrow morning.
This time, Feng Man could not go along. He needs to return the corpses of his friends who died in the previous battle to his hometown, and he is driving the pony carriage in the starry night in another direction.
Regarding the appearance of Madame Bi, Feng Man and Shanti first thought of the legendary 'giant'. But they didn't dare to say it, it would be rude to make a mistake. Moreover, this 'giant' has a dignified demeanor and sharp eyes, which is very different from the image of the legendary silly and imbecile giant.
After Feng Man left, Aichen, Lady Bi, and Shanti got on the road, jogging along the avenue in the direction of Spire City.
Initially, Aichen suggested that it would be easier for Shanti to transform into a green beast and hurry. But she refused.
"Just run to Spire City, I can do it."
The girl did what she said, and it didn't hurt to run down for a few hours along the way, only stopping a few times to replenish a little water.
"The inhabitants of this world really don't have a good physical fitness."
Aichen told Lady Bi about the effects of the beast meat in the clouds, and the latter was very interested.
"I wonder if I will continue to grow stronger after eating that beast meat?"
Lady Bi's physical growth has reached the limit, the limit of what the medicine god water can improve. If new 'fortifying drugs' are used, there may be room for further improvement. But even if it works, it's a long process, and it takes years to build up the body, and it's not something that can be achieved overnight.
In the early hours of the next morning, the trio rushed to Spire City. The gates were deserted, the sky was as dark as night, and the sun was far below the horizon.
The city gate guards on night duty said that they would not let the three of them into the city, the reason was naturally Madame Bi's strange huge figure.
"Wait outside, and we'll go and ask the sir. If he says yes, we'll let you in. ”
The governor of the city gate was sleeping at home with his wife in his arms, and was somewhat unhappy when he was woken up.
"What giants are not giants. If you go to the White Stone Tower and ask the magician about this kind of thing, it must be something they messed around again! ”

The White Stone Pagoda is a composite building made of pure white masonry, consisting of five tall towers, and a ring of towering pure white walls, which looks sacred and solemn.
The soldiers guarding the city were ordered by their own commander to come to the White Stone Tower to meet the Magician Night's Watch.
The guard who stood guard inquired about the purpose of the soldiers guarding the city, and when he heard about the giant, he smiled and said, "Are you mistaken?" Is the giant really a beautiful woman, not a hideous stone statue? Our magicians here have been fiddling with stone statues all day long, and I have never heard of them having the ability to make humans tall. ”
The defender shrugged, "How could I be mistaken. It was a beautiful woman with black hair and black eyes and exotic beauty, her boobs were bigger than my head, and they were very soft when they swayed, and my brothers were almost interested in her, how could it be a stone statue. ”
"That's really interesting, I'll take you to meet the magician on duty. If it's as funny as you say, she's more than willing to join in the fun. ”
The doorman led the soldiers to a tall tower and patted a 'stone statue of Lux' standing at the entrance of the tower with his hand. The stone statue came to life as soon as it was touched, and tied an iron chain to its arm.
It was the first time the soldier had seen the magician's 'moving stone', and it was a novelty. The doorman looked at the old hat in front of him and led him into a large iron cage.
Without waiting for the soldier to ask, the Lux statue pulled the chain attached to the pulley and lifted the iron cage into the air.
"Wow, that's amazing. Is this how all magicians go upstairs? ”
The doorman nodded, "Always." The magicians here are all big and have big tempers. You can be polite when you see you in a moment, don't blame me for not reminding you. ”

In the duty room of the White Stone Tower, the female magician Momiji, who has just run for three, is practicing to control her emotions. This is part of a magician's practice, and the spell must be cast in harmony with the spirit and magic, coupled with the right emotions to be successful.
Momiji looked at his haggard self in the mirror, grinning and grimacing, trying to put on an angry look.
Among the many emotions, she is not good at 'love' and 'anger'. These two emotions are too extreme, one is extremely sweet and the other is extremely fierce. She thinks she has a peaceful nature and can't do extreme things. Most of the other magicians, though, are good at anger.
In order to make herself angry, Momiji looks in the mirror and begins to think about the things that make her unhappy.
"The most unpleasant ...... I guess it's the stone statue of Lux at the door......"
The stone statue that pulls the elevator is powered by the magic of Momiji. Although the stone statue can only make a few simple movements, it is still very tiring to supply magic power for a long time, and the quality of sleep in Momiji is extremely poor, and he always wakes up after sleeping for three or four hours.
"The second unpleasant ...... It's the night shift! ”
Because she slept less, the Presbyterian Council forcibly made her a night watchman, and lived a life of day and night for a long time, which was very detrimental to the recovery of her mental state.
After sorting out his unhappiness, Momiji felt that he had begun to get angry, so he took advantage of his anger to use a spell and cast a 'flame' magic.
Angry enough, restless flames would appear on the tips of her fingers. If anger is not enough, you will only get a quiet burning flame.
At the end of the short spell, Momiji stretched out a delicate finger and poked it in front of the bridge of his nose between his eyes.
Twist, twist, twist.
The flames that burst out of thin air were neither restless nor quiet, but just writhed regularly, like a dancer dancing to a soft tune.
"Alas, failed......"
The autumn leaves blew the flame of the dancer, and she leaned on one cheek in a depressed manner.
"If I keep failing like this, failing and failing..."Depression will become my best emotion."
Just when she was depressed, footsteps came from the door. Then the doorman knocked on the door and stood in the doorway to explain the situation.
"Huh? A giantess came to the gates? ”
Momiji let in the soldiers guarding the city and listened to his detailed narration, looking at the young man's face as he listened.
'Pretty handsome. I don't know if I can raise my 'love' for him. ’
After the soldier finished retelling the situation, Momiji didn't talk, but took out his portable water bottle.
"You're thirsty, aren't you? Shall I pour you a glass of water? ”
Without waiting for the flattered soldier to agree, Momiji harnessed his 'love' emotions and poured magic into the kettle. If the love is strong enough, the water in this pot will become sweet as honey.
Although the soldier felt that the behavior of the beautiful magician in front of him was suspicious, he still drank it.
"Well, it's delicious, it's sweet."
"Really?" Momiji was excited, "How sweet is it?" Is honey sweet? ”
"Uh...... It's just a little sweet, and it can't be compared to honey......"
After listening to the feedback, Momiji stood up in disappointment and put on a thick old robe. Then he beckoned to the soldier.
"Let's go, take me to meet the giantess."
