Chapter 4028 The Song of the Purple Moon (79) — One hit and he'll behave.
Eavesdropping—no, I mean listening in!
Testarossa really wanted to eavesdrop, even though it's a common saying that the more you know, the faster you die—but it was a private conversation between the Lord of the Holy Land and the Soul Envoy!
But she ultimately suppressed the impulse in her heart, mainly because the maid was still there, which made her feel very intimidated.
After Boss Luo and Xiao Meng left alone, there was no more conversation... When Boss Luo was still here, the maid would occasionally talk to her.
But now, all that's left is their textbook-perfect politeness.
"The courtyard... um, the noise outside the [sea of flowers] seems to have stopped." Testarossa finally tried to find a topic to talk about.
"Yes, it's not a big problem," the maid replied with a smile, then suddenly asked, "Miss Testarossa, how did you and Princess Angie meet?"
Testarossa was surprised that the other party would suddenly ask such a... rather subtle question?
She considered it for a moment, then said calmly, "It was an accident. I encountered it during an exploration somewhere, in an ancient ruin."
"A chance encounter?" The maid nodded gently.
Why use an inquiring tone?
“Who knows?” Testarossa smiled casually. “Fate is hard to predict, especially for someone like Angie.”
“Indeed.” The maid chuckled softly and poured Testarosa another cup of tea.
Then the two of them started displaying textbook-perfect politeness again.
—I still really want to eavesdrop…oops, I mean, listen in!
"Master is back!"
Just then, Bai Zhi, who was idly playing with her fingers, suddenly exclaimed with delight, her voice filled with genuine joy.
However, Xiaomeng didn't seem very happy.
Because when she returned, she was bound again, and it was still Schneider's chain—although Boss Lo obviously wasn't holding the chain, otherwise it would have looked like he was walking a dog.
As a [Beginner Level], Boss Luo will still give him the respect and face he deserves.
Who told me that my new master is a pure and interesting person?
Little Meng thinks her new owner is a petty person, and she was just being a little mischievous!
—Gao Chang Gong! You're dead!!
With a pitiful look in her eyes and her eyes misty, Xiao Meng said, "Hey, Master, shouldn't binding be done in a more private place? I feel so ashamed!"
“I think you’re quite happy.” Boss Luo smiled calmly. “You should leave the same way you came in. I don’t want to break the rules of this courtyard.”
Xiao Meng immediately pouted as if in a huff, but didn't protest any further.
In their era, the relationship between the Holy Lord and the Soul Envoy was much more severe, a true relationship of ruler and subject.
"I'm going to speak with Commander Schneizel." Boss Luo, who had just returned, looked a bit busy. "You take care of Miss Meng."
These words were naturally spoken to the maid.
The maid nodded gently, then glanced at Testarossa indifferently.
The princess from the ancient divine era was quite tactful at this moment, and smiled slightly, saying, "I've been sitting for a while, I'll go for a walk over there. [Rambo], could you introduce me to some places?"
She even took Rimbaud with her.
Although Rimbaud would rather stay closer to His Highness, he could not refuse the request of Testarossa, a noblewoman—even though she was only the administrator of the noble district.
……
Thus, the old-era [Prime] and the new-era maid girl locked eyes.
Xiao Meng blinked. "Hello, are you the [Mystic Maiden] of this era?"
The maid politely replied, "I've only heard of the name 'Mysterious Woman,' but there's not even a record of her. I don't know anything about her... As for me, I'm just a servant of my master."
"I'd love to try being a servant like that."
Xiao Meng spoke the most provocative words in the cutest tone.
The maid said calmly, "That depends on what the master wants. Perhaps you can make a request."
—Tsk, much more difficult to deal with than Sister Xuan Nu.
“However…” The maid’s tone suddenly changed, “Miss Meng, as the actual operator of the Void Casino, shouldn’t we coordinate some official matters?”
Ok?
Xiao Meng's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Just hearing about reconciliation was giving her a headache.
The maid squinted and said, "Now that we've met, let's settle the accounts, shall we?"
"Uh..." Xiaomeng gave an awkward smile.
"What's wrong?" the maid asked. "Miss Meng, are you not available... now?"
“…No.” Xiaomeng chuckled. “Yes, it seems we really can’t avoid reconciliation, so let’s reconcile the accounts?”
—The casino is doing incredibly well!
—This is the ledger…
"Bai Zhi, write this down." The maid immediately instructed, "Write it down carefully, every single one."
"Huh? Oh... okay, okay!!"
Xiao Meng hummed and hummed.
—Dream me, I was just being a little mischievous, was it really that big of a deal?!
……
……
"Your Highness!"
Schneizel was clearly a quintessential—or purely imperial—nobleman, perfectly embodying the principle that propriety must not be disregarded.
Boss Luo quietly looked at the man who adhered to the royal... or royal family's exclusive knightly etiquette, thought for a moment and said, "You should know that the empire no longer exists... Logically speaking, I am no longer a prince."
Schneizel was slightly moved, but he lowered his head and did not raise it. Instead, he said in a deep voice, "From the moment I swore to be loyal to the Empire forever, as long as there is one member of the royal family, I will always be a knight of the Empire!"
"Compared to an empire, you seem to value royal bloodlines more?" Boss Luo said calmly.
Schneizel said again in a deep voice, "As long as Your Highness is still alive, the Empire will endure forever!"
After a moment of silence, Boss Luo said softly, "Have you ever thought about leaving the courtyard?"
Schneizel looked up this time and asked cautiously, "I wonder what Your Highness means? Is there another appointment?"
Boss Luo shook his head. "I just feel that you've stayed here long enough. You... perhaps you can do some things you want to do. Be more... free. You, and your fellow guards... what do you think?"
Schneizel shook his head. "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I am not bored here at all! As for how the outside world changes, I do not care. To be able to see Your Highness again is already a blessing from fate. I will look forward to Your Highness's next visit!"
"Why?" Boss Luo suddenly let out a soft sigh.
The operator of the Void Arena at the time had the same attitude.
But Schneider clearly couldn't guess what Boss Luo really wanted to ask: "You are the glory of the empire!"
"May I take this courtyard?" Luo Qiu asked softly.
"Your Highness is too kind," Schneizel quickly said. "This courtyard was originally built for you, so naturally it is yours!"
"Even if... I am also an agent of the [Root]?"
Schneizel's expression changed, and his pupils even contracted sharply—only now did he sense the [Root] aura that Boss Luo had deliberately concealed.
The sky in the courtyard suddenly darkened for a moment, as if in mourning, but quickly returned to calm—more like a kind of compromise.
“Your Highness, it is Your Highness!” Schneizel took a deep breath. “Only this will remain unchanged forever!”
"Then you can stay here," Boss Luo said calmly. "Don't let any random people in here in the future. The manager of the Royal Zone neglected her duties, so her managerial qualification is revoked, and you will temporarily take over... Although there shouldn't be much to do, I'll still trouble you for this."
“Yes, Your Highness!” Schneizel’s voice was firm. “If Jinx returns next time, I will capture her and hand her over to Your Highness for judgment!”
He didn't care that Jinx was a descendant of nobility or a student of a prince—he was a student of an Imperial General, and the only successor!
Boss Luo suddenly said, "If she didn't do anything wrong, there's no need to make things difficult for her; just drive her away."
"Yes!"
"Now, may you get up?" Boss Luo smiled slightly and said, "Tell me about the manager in the ordinary district."
“Yuga?” Schneizel paused slightly, but nodded nonetheless and said decisively, “What does Your Highness wish to know?”
"Everything you know."
Schneizel pondered for a moment, sorting through his memories—but at that moment, his expression shifted slightly.
"Is there something you need?" Boss Luo keenly noticed the change in his expression.
“It’s nothing serious.” Schneizel shook his head slightly. “It’s just that someone is trying to enter the noble district and is trying to break through the trial passage… Hmm, it seems he tried once before, but failed, using the identity of an apprentice gardener.”
"A trial passage?" Boss Luo was intrigued. "Is it possible to enter the nobility through this method?"
Schneizel nodded and smiled slightly, "It's a kind of incentive system for the citizens of the Empire. If a citizen wants to visit the noble district, they can obtain temporary qualifications as long as they pass the assessment based on their own efforts and talents. This mechanism was created when the courtyard was originally designed, and it also provides citizens with more channels for advancement... Would Your Highness like to take a look?"
There's one more thing Schneizel didn't mention.
When this mechanism was first proposed, it was met with opposition from many designers—but in the end, the prince, who was the chief architect of the garden, insisted on keeping it.
The reason given is that having only flowers and plants here is too boring; since this is for His Highness's birthday celebration, it should be more entertaining...
This mechanism did indeed attract many talented young people from the Empire to try their luck during the Age of Empires—because the rewards for passing the levels were truly generous!
"There's no rush," Boss Luo said calmly, because he already knew who was currently attempting the challenge. "Tell me about Yuga first."
"As ordered!"
……
at the same time.
Between the noble district and the common district, on a special road, the Dragon Sparrow Ring was stuck in the ground, supporting the body of the Pirate King Zhang Bolu, who was panting heavily.
He already had dozens of long, thin wounds on his body.
But he didn't have much time to catch his breath—figures appeared before him, followed by eight silver-haired guards.
Identical faces, uniform attire, mass-produced products, and... terrifying strength!
“This time it’s eight…” Zhang Bolu’s expression suddenly hardened. “Sure enough, with each success, the numbers increase exponentially.”
Last time, he could only get to the stage where there were four guards.
The silver-haired guards did not respond to his question, but quickly assumed a fighting stance.
"Then let's do it!" Zhang Bolu took a deep breath and raised the [Dragon Sparrow Ring] again. "Just what I wanted!! Hahahaha!!"
Surrounded by the booming drums of the "Dragon Sparrow Breaking Formation Song," the old pirate, still full of bravado, instantly drew his sword to meet the challenge!
If we lose, we can just go back to town—oh, back to Yuga's hut!
Zhang Bolu's Apprentice Gardener certificate has the function of automatically returning to the city and back to his house!
In the midst of the fierce battle, unbeknownst to them, a crow was hovering above the battlefield, silently watching Zhang Bolu's progress.
"We've been fighting for ages, and we're only at the fourth level. We're still a long way off." The crow shook its head slightly. "Looks like that old codger Yuga won't be able to escape this time. Hehehe."
……
Courtyard, General Area, Yuga's Hut.
This house really does have a name, and it really is called "Yoga's Hut"—there's a sign with that name on the door, but the witch obviously doesn't recognize the characters of this old-time empire.
You ask why the witch is here—of course, she took the opportunity to sneak back!
Taking advantage of the fact that the violent dragon didn't care about her at all, taking advantage of the fact that Yuga was vomiting blood and had no time to pay attention to her, and taking advantage of the fact that [Xiangfeihu]'s sense of justice was so strong that he wouldn't abandon the old man Yuga!
"We're rich! We've really struck it rich this time!"
First, head to the tool shed, with the goal of sourcing goods at zero cost!
Although she returned to her mortal state, after successfully creating the Crystal Cube [Star Creation], the witch immediately mastered one of its abilities.
Storage!
By rotating the objects in a specific order, a space of approximately 10,000 cubic meters can be opened up.
It's very small, definitely not as good as her [Star Creation World], it seems like it can only hold some small personal items, but it's obviously enough to raid [Yuga's Hut].
For some reason, although [Star Creation] succeeded and she was certain that the Rubik's Cube had become a creation and given birth to the [Star Creation] Spirit, she was unable to resonate with her own [Star Creation] Spirit.
It feels like you've given birth, but it was a lonely birth. What you've given birth to is an "egg" that you have to keep incubating to hatch.
The tool shed was quickly emptied!
Miss Witch quickly set her sights on Yuga's residence again—last time she went in, she didn't dare to observe too closely because of old man Yuga's presence, but she still managed to discover some clues!
There should be a basement in the old man's room—because you can see a pull ring on the floor!
Following the principle that a thief should never leave empty-handed, she carefully opened the basement and took a peek inside. Whether she could take anything or not was another matter; the key was to find out what was inside!
With no one around, the witch effortlessly opened the basement slab in the room—the old man probably never intended to hide it, there wasn't even a lock.
"I'm going in!"
"It's so cramped, so dark... and so damp here!"
"Sticky..."
"What…" The witch subconsciously rubbed her fingers, her expression hardening slightly. "Blood?"
