Chapter 293: The March Season Has Arrived
Autumn goes to winter, several times of cold and heat.
Before you knew it, the days flew by, and the three-month cultivation period was soon over.
At the end of autumn and the season slowly turning to winter, everyone gathered outside the monastery for a long time to prepare for a relaxing picnic in the countryside.
"Hmm...... It's been a long time since I've seen such good weather, and it's really emotional."
When Ellulu finally returned from the Forbidden Land outside the realm and returned to the familiar mountain behind the monastery, the girl couldn't help but take a deep breath, a look of nostalgia on her face.
"yes." Looking at the familiar scene, Lannacel couldn't help but sigh: "After staying in that ghost place for more than two months, I feel that the whole person's perception of the world has become strange."
As soon as Lannathel finished speaking, a small, translucent sphere that looked like a slime repeated on her shoulder, "It's becoming, it's weird."
"Don't just learn from me, really...... If you do that, I'll take you back."
After patting the cute psychic creature that gave it a bit of a headache, Lannathel hugged it back into her arms, a look of laughter and tears on her face.
This little thing that looks like a slime is the "Mimic Empress" that she and Ember met in that ancient ruin, the master who rules the entire mimic race.
Ever since Ember and Lannathel had fled from the ruins, the strange juggernaut who could 100% mimic creatures had haunted him.
So before everyone was about to leave the area at a depth of 1,000, Lanather took everyone with them to the ancient ruins again, and successfully tamed the juggernaut into his own psychic creature.
I have to say, it was a real capture that took care of both balance and headache....... Although this mimic empress's combat power can only be regarded as average in the dominant, her extreme transfiguration ability is numb.
It has transformed into Ember, Lannather, Ellulu, Anjie, and Yumi countless times in battle, and has plunged everyone into a vicious vortex of fighting themselves.
Because the mimic queen can 100% copy the speech and demeanor of the changed object when she transforms, and even the tone and demeanor can become exactly the same, so everyone has to suffer a lot to pull it out of the crowd.
But no matter what, this juggernaut was finally knocked down by An Jie's punch, and then forcibly dragged away by Lannathel with a psychic contract, which can be regarded as one of the most powerful weapons on hand.
Although the ability of the Mimic Empress is of little significance when fighting monsters, it is too strong to use this ability in the human realm and when it is used against other forces.
Because of this, Lannathel attaches great importance to this psychic creature, and usually releases it to be held like a pet when there is nothing to do.
And the appearance of the mimic queen in the non-mimic situation is also very cute, like a mass of slime, which always makes people want to pinch it.
At this moment, in addition to Lannathel with a mimic empress on her side, Kassandra next to her is also holding a small silver dragon.
After more than two months, the little silver dragon silver wing was already much bigger than when it first broke the shell.
Originally, the Silver Wing was the size of a rooster, but now it looks the size of a pony, and it has many silver scales growing on its body, and it looks very beautiful with ice crystals.
At this time, Kassandra smiled at the crowd while holding the silver wing with a soft rope to prevent it from flying around:
"You've worked so hard during this time, so let's rest for a while."
I don't know if it's because of the silvery nebula that suppressed the "demonization disease", Kassandra's complexion has become very good recently.
And because during this period of time, she was constantly enjoying the holy energy cuisine from the forbidden land outside the realm with everyone, although the female knight lacked a little actual combat training, she still kept up with the level of the large army in terms of the improvement of the holy energy level.
In fact, just now, the strength of everyone present has reached a jaw-dropping height.
From the perspective of the Persona panel
It can be seen that the current strength of the people is as follows:
An Jie, the first level of the Forbidden Land Outside the Realm Cultivation was level 45, and now it is level 57.
Lanna Ser, the first level of the Forbidden Land Outside the Realm Cultivation Level 35, is now Level 51.
Kassandra, the first level of the Forbidden Land Outside the Realm Cultivation Level 38, is now Level 53.
Ai Lulu, the first level of the Forbidden Land Outside the Realm Cultivation, is now level 54.
Yu Mi, the first level of the Forbidden Land Outside the Realm Cultivation is level 40, and now it is level 55.
.......
Of course, among the six people, except for Ai Lulu, who can be upgraded by eating toxins, Jiang Yan's own strength improvement speed is the fastest.
A year ago, when he was almost a vegan, Jiang Yan's level has now reached a very exaggerated level of 60, and it took less than a year to completely surpass the large army and become the first member among the people to break through to the "Legend level".
Although as a traverser, he knew that he had relied on various plug-ins and opportunities to reach this level, but this growth rate really scared the other five people.
But no matter what, as everyone's strength leaps forward, the presence of Jiang Yan's small gang will become more and more obvious, and many of the troubles in the past will no longer be troubles.
And the closest trouble in front of everyone is naturally the "World's No. 1 Chef Fighting Competition" in "Blackwater Harbor".
Soon after, when the group came to the clear stream behind the monastery and sat down on a carpet, they began to talk about the next trip to the "Blackwater Harbor".
"Anyway, we're going to have to go to Blackwater Harbor next, I haven't been to that place yet."
As Kassandra sat on the carpet and took a cup of black tea from Ellulu's hand, she looked wistfully to the far southwest.
Blackwater Harbour is located in Lannasel's hometown of Blazing Blue, a bustling port close to the coast.
A few months ago, everyone had already concluded that the reason why the "Blackwater Chaebol" held this cooking competition was to attract Jiang Ember to come over so that he could seize the artificial spiritual costume in his hands....... Or what the other party thinks is an artificial spiritual costume.
After hearing Sister Kassandra's words, Ellulu opened the box containing the meal, took out a lot of food that tasted good even if it was cold, and said with a smile:
"When I was a child, I went to Blackwater Harbor once with my mother, and it was a great place, the seafood was cheap and delicious, and there were many strange things that you couldn't see in the outback."
Among all the people, Ellulu, who seems to have seen the world the most on the surface, is actually the one with the widest vision.
After all, she toured the world with her mother when she was very young, and she has basically been to everywhere, and she is very clear about the customs and customs of various places.
"Cut." An Jie, on the other hand, shook her head, picked up a sandwich stuffed with the most grilled chicken from the lunch box and stuffed it into her mouth, saying disgustedly, "I hate the beach the most, and I hate seafood."
The food box is filled with small sandwiches cut a finger's width for easy access by two fingers.
Some sandwiches are stuffed with grilled chicken, fried bacon, and others are topped with cucumber and cheese, so you can choose your favorite taste.
In addition to the sandwiches, there are also small cakes that have soaked through the brandy-flavored honey and crispy creamy finger cakes.
So many delicate dim sum, combined with a pot of fragrant black tea and five ladies, this has all the elements needed for a tea party.
Anjie likes this kind of tea party very much, because there is food and drink.
But An Jie also hates the seaside because she doesn't like seafood.
For this purely meaty animal, the variety of seafood always makes her feel disgusting, not only fishy but also slimy.
Fortunately, this monastery in the far north can only eat river fresh food, and the seafood can't be transported here at all, and it will stink, and Anjie has always avoided suffering from seafood.
But as soon as she heard that she was going to Blackwater Port next, An Jie chose to retreat without hesitation.
Don't go,
Just don't go.
So in the next booking, follow Jiang Ember and set off for "Blazing Blue. There was no Anjie in the team of Blackwater Harbor, and she volunteered to stay in the monastery to look after her family.
And this time, the members of the departure team have become Ginger Ember, Kassandra, Lannassel, Yumi, and Ellulu.
Of course, this is not a bad thing, after all, now Jiang Ember can only let four sealers leave at a time.
Originally, he was still struggling with who to leave at home, but An Jie's voluntary stay solved this complicated problem.
However, while everyone was eating and drinking, they were chatting about the next work at "Blackwater Port".
A black carrier pigeon suddenly fell from the sky, disrupting all the next plans.
The black carrier pigeon landed and landed lightly on Yumi's shoulder.
And Yumi was also very skillful in taking out a small note from the sleeve tied to the pigeon's feet, and then gently let the pigeon go.
When they saw this move, everyone's eyes were also on the small note.
Jiang Ember immediately leaned over and asked, "Yumi, is it a message from your hometown?"
Since the incident on the side of the "Blackwater Chaebol" a few months ago, Jiang Ember has been preparing for the "World's No. 1 Chef Fighting Conference" while also paying close attention to the dynamics of the desert area in the southwest.
So far, three of the five organizations that worship the Blade of Love have dealt with Jiang Ash, and all of them have failed miserably.
The two remaining organizations that have not yet been contacted are the "Blackwater Chaebol" and the other is the "Harpy" in the desert.
Needless to say, the Blackwater chaebol will meet those guys immediately when they go to Blackwater Port.
As for the Harpy Clane, according to Yumi, it is one of the three major assassination sects in the desert area, and it is extremely powerful there.
Now that the news that Jiang Ember has an artificial spirit costume has spread, if they know about this side, I'm afraid they will also find some way to attract this young man.
After all, Jiang Ember usually stays in the "Silent Monastery" in the far north, and the monastery itself is an area under the care of the "Night Watch", which is not so easy to do.
Without wanting to offend the Night's Watch, the only way to kill Ginger Ember and obtain an artificial spirit costume is to attract this guy out and attract him to his own territory before he can do it.
The "Blackwater Chaebol" obviously intends to do this, they hope to attract Jiang Ember through the "World's First Kitchen Fighting Conference", and then seize the artificial spirit suit in his hand, so as to bypass the interference of the night watch.
Considering this, Jiang Ember told Yumi's contacts to pay attention to their hometown, especially the actions of the "Harpy", and send a message to report it as soon as there was any movement.
At this time, the flying pigeon message that Yumi got was obviously from the desert area covered with yellow sand.
It's just that all the ciphertext written on this small note is a cipher that only the assassins of a certain sect can read, and the others can't read it at all.
After watching it for a while, Yumi said in his trademark emotionless tone, "Judging from the contents of the letter, it seems that the Golden Amber City side is preparing to carry out a 'god sacrifice martial arts.'"
"Divine sacrifice and martial arts? What did it come from?"
"It's a traditional martial arts competition in the desert area, with a certain performative nature, and the last two contestants compete at the top of the altar, which we believe will bring joy to the gods in the heavens, and the gods will bless us."
"I see, it's really a very religious contest....... But it's none of our business, right?"
"No, it does." Yumi shook his head and said calmly, "'Golden Amber City is the lair of the harpy, and this time the god festival must be their intention.'"
"Is it a martial arts tournament they're hosting...... Isn't it possible that the final prize will be a man-made spirit costume?"
Just as Jiang Ember said this casually with a teasing mood, Yumi nodded and said, "That's right
Now, in addition to the honor and wealth, the final victor of this 'Divine Sacrifice Martial Arts' will also be given a man-made spirit suit called 'Blade of Slaughter.'
Miscellaneous....... What? Is that okay?
The moment he heard this, Jiang Yan showed a somewhat crying and laughing expression for a while.
Good guy, what kind of "Blackwater Chaebol" over there is the world's No. 1 Chef Bucket Conference, and wants to use artificial spiritual costumes to fish Jiang Ember over.
The "Harpy Banshee" on your side is also very cooperative with what kind of god sacrifice and martial arts, and it's okay to use the same thing to fish Jiang Ember over.
For a moment, Jiang Ember felt as if he had become a fragrant bait, and the two factions were trying their best to trick him into his own territory.
But now that the Harpy has also set up a Hongmen banquet on the side of the Harpy, the current situation has become troublesome.
The trouble is that the god festival held at the "Golden Amber Castle" began three days later, and coincidentally, the "World's First Chef Fight" was also held three days later.
In other words, if Jiang Ember doesn't know how to do the doppelganger technique, he will at most participate in activities on one side at the same time, and the other side will not be able to go at all.
While you don't necessarily have to go fishing to get a faux costume, it's undoubtedly the easiest and quickest way to do it.
What should I do, do you want to give up the god sacrifice and martial arts on the side of "Golden Amber City" and take down the "Blackwater Port" side first? Or is it .......
An Jie, who seemed to see through Jiang Yan's thoughts, and was picking up a bacon sandwich on the side and nibbling on it, said with a smile: "What do you think, with our current strength, we can win it together."
"Huh? Take both sides together? How do you take it?"
"Aren't there five of us who can go out, just go to 'Golden Amber City and' Blackwater Port together in batches, anyway, what kind of god sacrifice and martial arts must you attend...... We'll be able to solve it when we go."
An Jie licked her fingers and said in a confident tone.
