Chapter 913 Listen
Half an hour later.
Lin Qiye looked at the mountain of skewers in front of Jialan and fell silent.
“Little girl, want some more?”
Merlin smiled at Jialan, reached into the magic circle, and several more plates of lamb appeared on the table. Standing there in his chef’s outfit, his tall and imposing figure in Jialan’s eyes no longer seemed like the great God of Magic, but rather the God of Food who presided over earthly cuisine.
“I really can’t eat anymore.” Jialan sat on the ground contentedly, patting her round belly and letting out a long breath.
Merlin looked up at the red moon, waved his hand to disperse the grill and chef’s outfit, and put back on his deep blue magic robe before saying to the two:
“It’s getting late, let’s rest here for today.”
Hearing these words, Lin Qiye was stunned.
He looked up at the chaotic sky where day and night didn’t alternate, and asked puzzledly: “Lord Merlin, we don’t need to rest…”
It had only been six or seven hours since they entered Takamagahara, and before that they had rested long enough in the whale’s belly. After coming here, they had been sitting in the carriage the whole time, so there was really no fatigue to speak of.
“No, you need rest.” Merlin said firmly, “When you wake up, it will be time to receive the gift I’ve prepared for you… you must have your mental state at its peak.”
Lin Qiye pondered this, but his curiosity grew stronger, “Lord Merlin, what exactly is this gift you’ve prepared for me?”
“You’ll know tomorrow.”
Merlin raised his staff and lightly tapped the ground. A brilliant magic circle instantly spread out, and moments later, the earth beneath their feet began to flow like water, rising into the air and weaving together to form a simple palace.
This palace was much simpler compared to the palaces of Takamagahara, but it was more than enough to accommodate three people. Warm light streamed through the palace windows, and inside there were sofas, beds, rugs, and even a long table set with Western tableware and candlelight.
Lin Qiye’s mouth couldn’t help but drop open…
This ability was far superior to a certain fatty’s [Free Space], definitely an essential skill for traveling!
“Three rooms, one for each… Of course, if you two want to share a room, I can pretend not to notice.” Merlin’s gaze swept over the two, a smile appearing at the corners of his mouth, as he walked into the palace without looking back, returning to the rightmost room.
Lin Qiye stood outside the palace, cleared his throat lightly, and just as he turned his head to say something to Jialan, she had already run back to the central room with a bright red face.
Bang—!
Jialan slammed the door shut.
Seeing this, Lin Qiye let out a slight sigh of relief, but for some reason, felt an inexplicable disappointment in his heart…
He cast aside the complicated thoughts in his mind and strode directly toward the leftmost room.
Before he could close the door, there was a sudden sound as the central room’s door burst open, and Jialan rushed out carrying bedding, running straight into Lin Qiye’s room.
Lin Qiye stood at the doorway, feeling as if a blue shadow had just flashed past, followed by wafts of fragrance entering his nostrils. He stood there dazed.
After a good while, he came to his senses and turned to look at Jialan, who was standing by the bed holding the bedding, just as he was about to say something…
“Don’t misunderstand!” Jialan hugged the bedding, her cheeks flushed red as she spoke, “I… I just don’t dare sleep alone in this place full of dismembered limbs and corpses… You take the bed, I’ll sleep on the floor, I won’t disturb your rest!
Please, don’t make me leave…”
Jialan’s voice grew quieter and quieter, she turned her head aside, her cheeks as red as ripe apples.
Lin Qiye looked at Jialan’s flickering eyes and smiled helplessly, walking up to her and taking the bedding from her hands.
Seeing this, Jialan lowered her head slightly, her lips involuntarily pursed, her face filled with disappointment.
Just then, Lin Qiye’s voice came.
“You take the bed…”
Lin Qiye pointed to the floor beside the bed, “I’ll sleep on the floor.”
…
“Ah, to be young…”
In his room, Merlin sat cross-legged on the bed wearing his deep blue robe, smiling as he sighed.
Just then, a crimson light crept into his left eye, and the whispered voices he had been suppressing surged into his mind like a tide, causing his brows to furrow!
He didn’t use mental magic to suppress the turmoil in his heart, but instead clenched his fists tightly, took a deep breath, and several star traces flashed through his profound right eye.
The red moonlight fell through the window, shining on Merlin’s deep blue robe, bathing his body in a bloody hue…
He sat there quietly, turning his head slightly, as if listening to something.
…
Da Xia.
Under the azure sky, a yellow figure rode an electric scooter, leisurely traveling through the clouds.
A golden light shot up from the ground toward the sky, wobbling as it followed behind the scooter, and then a voice called out from behind.
“Mr. Lu!! Please stop for a moment!”
Lu Wuwei, who had been humming a tune, was startled and looked back to see four people and a coffin crowded together on a sword condensed from golden light. The sword swayed up and down in the air, looking as if it might fall at any moment.
The weight of five people was absolutely overloading for [Yaoguang], and if Baili Fatty hadn’t been gritting his teeth to maintain it with his mental power, the sword wouldn’t have been able to fly this high.
“You are…” Lu Wuwei asked puzzledly.
“Mr. Lu, we are the Fifth Special Squad of Da Xia’s Night Watchmen, I am Vice Captain An Qingyu.” An Qingyu said calmly, carrying the coffin on his back.
“[Night Curtain]? I know of you.”
Lu Wuwei slowed down his electric scooter a bit to make it easier for Baili Fatty to follow, and continued asking, “What do you need from me?”
“We’d like to ask you to find someone.” An Qingyu said solemnly.
“Who?”
“Lin Qiye.”
Lu Wuwei: …
Lu Wuwei sighed and took out the note that Zuo Qing had given him, “This time, I’ve actually taken Zuo Qing’s commission to find him.”
Hearing these words, everyone on [Yaoguang]’s eyes immediately lit up!
If Lu Wuwei could find Lin Qiye, it meant An Qingyu hadn’t guessed wrong – Lin Qiye and Jialan were both still alive!
“We’ll go with you!” Baili Fatty immediately spoke up.
Lu Wuwei shook his head, “Even I don’t know where this chase will end up. It’s too dangerous for you to follow me. Go back and wait for my news.”
