Chapter 4014 The Song of the Purple Moon (65) — Non-Imperial Citizens…
"This is the [sea of flowers]."
The pale yellow flower clusters stretched out like a coastline, and when the breeze blew, they resembled golden waves, or even a boundary.
The swaying leaves lightly brushed against Xiaomeng's black socks, giving her a tingling sensation... She felt that if they kept brushing, the socks would start to pill.
Without a doubt, she was separated from "Big Sister"—in the instant she passed through the magnetic blast in the abyss.
Of course, Xiaomeng could probably sense the location of the witch... but only roughly. There was an aura in the [sea of flowers] that made her uncomfortable.
Xiao Meng suddenly licked her fingers, then sensed the direction of the wind—at that very moment, a bright silver beam of light flashed past her ear like a thunderbolt.
A few strands of hair then drifted down.
Xiao Meng's red eyes flickered slightly. On the ground was a small hole, about the thickness of a finger, created by a beam of bright silver light.
"ah!"
Xiao Meng slowly raised her head.
In mid-air, a ripple surged, and then, like a chameleon shedding its camouflage, a figure slowly emerged.
Her gender was indistinguishable, as her extremely beautiful yet androgynous appearance made her impossible to tell apart... She had long, silver-white hair and wore a long, slender military uniform resembling that of a guard.
Wearing a black military cap, he held in his hand a golden rifle with a bayonet, as tall as his body.
"Royal Courtyard, entry is prohibited without permission."
The other person's silver eyes were looking down at Xiao Meng on the ground without any fluctuation... and the voice was also neutral.
"Royal Courtyard?" Xiao Meng blinked. "Hey, tell me, which royal family is this?"
A bright light suddenly flashed from the silver-haired guard, sweeping over Xiaomeng. "Non-Imperial citizen, identity unconfirmed, suspected to be a creation of the [Root Demon]...Execute expulsion procedures!"
In an instant, the golden rifle with a bayonet split into thirty-six rifles around the guard, each of which was now radiating terrifying energy fluctuations.
Xiao Meng's gaze narrowed slightly as she murmured to herself, "Have I been disliked so quickly... But I really want to go in and take a look."
Silver-haired guard: "Three, two, one, attack! Activate!"
"I bet your gun has bullets, but you won't be able to hit me~"
In an instant, thirty-six beams of light shot towards Xiaomeng... This terrifying attack was enough to easily pierce through an entire world!
……
……
The petals and leaves fell, and the little creatures hiding inside seemed to be startled and fled in panic—but no!
The witch frowned. The area around her, about two or three meters in diameter, was covered with the marks of her trampling—but there were no living creatures here, except for these flowers.
It was less quiet and more deathly still... an eternal stillness!
"Hey!!! Anyone here? Looking for a well-endowed, skilled guy to play with me?!"
Miss Witch covered her mouth with her hands, looked up at the sky and shouted a few times, then deflated like a punctured balloon and lay back down in the flower bushes—she simply couldn't walk anymore.
As the Pirate King once warned, once you enter this Sea of Flowers, you will lose your power and become a mortal.
Without power, the [Star Creation] technique naturally cannot be used—and opening the [Star Creation Realm] is even more out of the question!
"But that old man Zhang Bolu didn't say that even walking would be this tiring in this godforsaken place."
With each step she took, it felt as if she were carrying a mountain on her back. So, it wasn't that Miss Witch wanted to give up and was lying here... it was simply because she couldn't roll up anymore.
A feeling called thirst even began to wash over me like a tidal wave.
Thirst, the kind of thirst where all you want is a glass of water.
The witch stared blankly at the dreamlike crimson sky above the sea of flowers, wondering how long it had been since she had felt the vulnerability brought on by such thirst.
"If all else fails, I'll find someone well-endowed and skilled in bed, I'll play with them... What do you want, bro!"
suddenly.
"I don't have the kind of person you're looking for, but I can keep you company and talk to you."
Just then, a familiar voice suddenly drifted over.
The witch shuddered instantly... That was none other than [Shohiko]'s voice!
Although hearing Li Huamei's voice wasn't the best solution for Miss Witch, she did wish for one more person in this deathly silent environment!
【Xiang Feihu】is also good. After all, this Admiral Li has a really good reputation. He is righteous to the point of being wicked. At least you don't have to worry about being stabbed in the back. In fact, he is a teammate you can completely trust in times of crisis!
"Lord [Xiang Feihu], it's so good to see you!"
Not far away, Li Huamei was standing on a small earthen slope—she had taken off her coat and rolled it up with a lot of flowers and plants, and even woven herself a simple hat and a cloak out of the flowers and plants...
The witch was immediately stunned by [Shohiko]'s current appearance, "...[Shohiko]-sama, what's wrong with you?"
"It's just a temporary disguise. After all, you have to ensure your safety at all times," Li Huamei said calmly. Then she pulled out a few flower branches from her coat and handed them to the witch. "Have some water. Just chew them. I've tried it, but the taste isn't very good."
"...Survival in a sea of flowers?" The witch accepted the offer with a wry smile.
She was indeed very thirsty and had considered replenishing her fluids in this way—but she dared not, fearing she would be poisoned. Therefore, between not dying of thirst and being thirsty, she chose not to die of thirst.
Chewing on a flower, the witch asked curiously, "Lord [Xiang Feihu], how did you find me?"
Li Huamei shook her head: "I was just walking in one direction when I ran into you."
The witch could only shake her head, then hesitated and asked, "The king... is he gone too?"
[Xiang Feihu] frowned, but still answered, "After I jumped down with the boss, we encountered a magnetic storm. When I came to my senses, I was all alone."
"My lord, do you think... the king knew all along that this would happen?" the witch asked cautiously.
"You mean, the boss did it on purpose?" [Xiang Feihu]'s gaze narrowed slightly.
"That's not what I meant!" Miss Witch quickly waved her hand, and under the sharp gaze of [Xiang Fei Hu], she had no choice but to reluctantly explain to Zhang Bolu, "It's also possible that the King came alone last time, so he wouldn't know that this is what would happen when multiple people enter... right, ahahaha."
“Yes, that’s what I think too.” [Xiang Feihu] nodded seriously. “Alright, we’ve rested enough, let’s continue on our way and search for them.”
"How do we find it?" the witch sighed. "I can't find the way at all..."
“I didn’t have a direction at first either, but I still found you.” Li Huamei said calmly, “As long as you keep moving in one direction, you will eventually reach the end. If there’s nothing at the end, then just change direction. The flowers here should be edible, so we won’t starve.”
It feels so...so reliable!
“Moreover, I found a house over there,” Li Huamei suddenly added.
"where?"
"On the other side of this earthen slope, not far away, it looks like only a few hundred meters away."
"..."
[Xiang Feihu] pointed to the spot on the earthen mound where he had just been standing... The witch's eyes widened immediately.
She suddenly thought of a hellish joke.
In the gambling city of Eslord, there was a gambler who, after losing 299 times in a row, resolutely cut his losses and left himself with a final bit of dignity—the money for his journey home.
As a result, on the 300th hand when she didn't place a bet, she would have already won back her principal and interest if she had... Unconvinced, she angrily turned to the table next to her—in the end, she didn't even get a shred of dignity.
"I don't think there'll be anything good inside," the skeptical witch muttered to herself.
"What did you say?"
"I'm saying there might be something useful inside! We might even run into someone?"
After climbing over a small hill, the witch indeed saw the house that [Xiang Feihu] had mentioned—it wasn't big, but it looked to be about 300 square meters, and it was surrounded by a fence.
The distance of a few hundred meters was covered in no time.
The fence gate was open, but the two men noticed some footprints on the ground in front of it—which immediately piqued their interest.
“The footprints are four-toed, three in front and one behind, they don’t look like a human footprint… Maybe they went out?” [Xiang Feihu] frowned. “The boss didn’t mention that there was such a house.”
In front of Li Huamei, the witch subconsciously continued to debate with the Pirate King, "Perhaps because this place is so big, the King didn't come all the way here and naturally didn't notice the existence of the house."
[Xiang Feihu] glanced at her indifferently, said nothing, and simply walked into the courtyard in front of the house.
The witch shrugged and began to observe the situation inside.
"But who would live here?" she muttered to herself. "Could it be someone who looks after this place? There are endless flower fields here, could it be a gardener or something?"
[Xiang Feihu] said calmly, "[Ziyue] has existed since the Old God Era. If there really is someone here, you have to be careful."
The witch gasped.
Li Huamei did not go into the house immediately, but first walked around the outside of the house—and soon she stopped in front of the back yard.
It's simply because some crops other than flowers are grown here.
"What is this?" Miss Witch, who had arrived with Li Huamei, was stunned after taking a look.
"This looks like some kind of...vegetable?" [Xiang Feihu] examined it carefully. "And it's a very ordinary vegetable?"
"Isn't this just a cabbage?" The witch frowned, bent down and pulled one out of the ground, examining it from all angles. "Okay, it really is just a very ordinary cabbage... Ouch!"
Just then, the witch suddenly cried out in pain, and the cabbage in her hand slipped from her grasp and fell to the ground!
At the same time, a dark shadow flashed past the two of them and took the cabbage away... Li Huamei's eyes quickly locked onto the dark shadow.
Soon, the dark figure leaped onto the roof; it turned out to be just a small black dog!
"Who gave you permission to destroy my vegetable garden? These cabbages aren't even ripe yet!"
“…I’m sorry, my friend didn’t mean to.” Li Huamei took a deep breath. “This senior, you intruded unintentionally. We will find a way to compensate you.”
"Hehe, not bad attitude. It's just a cabbage, it's not a big deal. Besides, you weren't the one picking things, I'm not so old and blind that I can't see it... I'm talking about you, you eyepatch-wearing, shifty-eyed guy!"
The witch shuddered and stumbled to the ground, covering her mouth with her handkerchief. "I... I'm just a weak woman who stumbled into your esteemed place by mistake, and I'm truly starving and freezing... Senior, I didn't mean it. I hope you'll be magnanimous and forgive me for being deceived by this heartless man..."
"...Passed!"
The witch gave an awkward smile, looked up at the roof, and said, "Then, this... this tall dog-senpai, is there anything I can do to apologize?"
The little black dog on the roof suddenly squatted down, wagging its tail, and looked at the witch as if she were an idiot.
The witch didn't seem to care, rubbing her hands together like a fly, "Senior, could you give me a hint?"
"I'm down here."
"??"
Then the back door of the house slowly opened, and then a figure, only a little over half a meter tall, slowly walked out.
A short, thin man dressed in old linen clothes, with bright green skin covered in wrinkles... and big pointed ears, leaning on a cane!
"Master Yoda?!" The witch's eyes widened in disbelief!
"Master Yoda?" The old man from another race, leaning on a cane, immediately showed curiosity. "The name is quite similar to mine, but my name is Yoga, not Master Yoda. Have you ever seen a Force Clan member who looks very similar to me?"
“I do know this guy, but he’s not some kind of Force Clan member…” the witch said subconsciously, “but he does call himself a Force Warrior.”
"Force warriors?" The old man, Yuga, lowered his head in thought, then shook his head. "Never mind, whether they are or not is none of my concern. But how did you manage to get into this [Royal Courtyard]?"
"Royal Courtyard?"
"Could it be... the Holy Demon Empire?"
The witch and [Xiang Feihu] exchanged a glance.
Since it is called a courtyard, and a royal one at that—that means there must be an empire.
Subconsciously, the witch thought of Testarosa, who had also been separated from her.
Testarossa mentioned the Holy Demon Empire, and the Radiant King was also projected into the labyrinth.
Therefore, subconsciously, Miss Witch assumed that the empire behind this was the [Holy Demon] Empire, the dominant force on the [magic side] in the previous divine era!
"What is the Holy Demon Empire?" Unexpectedly, Yuga scoffed disdainfully, "What kind of Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to call themselves an empire?"
[Xiang Feihu] took a deep breath and said seriously, "May I ask, senior, which place does this place belong to? This junior is truly... blind."
Yu Jia suddenly said, "You guys must have been brought in by that brat named Zhang Bolu, right?"
Upon hearing this, both Xiang Feihu and the witch were immediately shocked.
Li Huamei blurted out, "Senior Youjia, do you know my family's captain? Where is he? We got separated after we came in!"
“Serves him right.” Yuga shook his head. “I told him not to come again… If he does, he won’t be so lucky.”
"senior……"
Yuga slowly raised his cane, pointed to the sea of flowers beyond the fence, and said calmly, "What you see now is only the outermost area of the Royal Courtyard. According to the courtyard's rules, ordinary citizens of the Empire, or even tourists from other races not on the blacklist, can freely enter and exit this area, which is why you're fine. But going any further in, unless you have noble status, otherwise..."
"Otherwise, what would happen?" The witch swallowed unconsciously.
Yuga narrowed his eyes. "You've mistakenly trespassed on the royal forbidden area, not my old man's vegetable garden. What do you think? Those guards are very strict, and quite inflexible as well."
hiss--! !
……
……
"Oh dear, is that all it takes?"
The silver-haired guard fell into the flower bushes. At this moment, Xiao Meng was squatting beside it, gently poking its cheek with her finger... Sparks and arcs of electricity could be seen constantly shooting out in the silver-haired guard's eyes.
Its neck, like a stuck gear, turned with difficulty a few times—and finally stopped moving, its whole body motionless.
"In that case, I'll go in then?" Xiaomeng chuckled, patted the dust off her skirt, and stood up.
But in the instant he turned around, one figure after another appeared out of thin air in the sky in front of him.
Each of them was a silver-haired guard, and... there was a whole formation of ninety-nine of them!
"oops……"
Xiao Meng covered her lips slightly, unable to hide her surprise. "It seems... not yet... Then, come with me and fall into the abyss of gambling!"
The space instantly took on a folded appearance, as if it were two-dimensional...
