Chapter 64: White Fog
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The suggestion sent by the elves at a huge price was correct.
The magic core produced a violent explosion, destroying the huge underground space and sealing everything in the shattered rocks, blocking this curtain hole that had been opened by accident.
After that impressive performance, the parrot landed in Kang De’s hand.
It said, “I’m done.”
Then, it fell asleep.
Considering that this sentence was spoken in Chinese, Kang De had enough reason to think that this “I’m done” did not mean “the curse is lifted”, “the seal is no longer effective”, or “I have no regrets in my life”… Instead, it was a popular online phrase.
As for what it meant—Kang De did not know.
Seriously, where did this parrot learn such lewd terms? Hmph.
On the other hand, Kang De was tired.
This operation was undoubtedly a huge success.
In the words of the knight, even in the history of Goethe’s war, this victory would be extraordinary. With weak troops and warships, they had captured an elf main ship. Their casualties were minimal and they had almost wiped out the enemy. No matter what, it was a victory that could be praised.
Kang De undoubtedly contributed greatly.
He had planned the entire plan and almost guided the execution of the entire battle. It could be said that he had contributed the most to this operation… Including the last unforeseen event and sealing the so-called “curtain hole”. Such credit was also given to Kang De. After all, in the eyes of the Goethe people, Kang De’s position was similar to that of a Druid.
What the parrot and the other lackeys did naturally had to be the credit of the Druid.
In short, it was a complete victory.
He had helped the Goethe people defeat the elves to prevent these more pleasing fellows from dying.
It also protected his own safety, preventing the elves from winning and searching the island. When they discovered him, they would shoot him to death.
This was the first time Kang De had interfered in the war of the natives of the other world as a transmigrator. He had participated in their affairs and helped them obtain victory.
There was a feeling that the wheels of history were spinning.
It was originally something to be happy about.
However, Kang De suddenly felt disinterested.
Previously, after hearing Tina and Knight’s story, he had a negative impression of the elves. They plundered the world, they were unreasonable and domineering, and they started a war. Although he understood that the Goethe people’s words were subjective, he still believed in the principle that those who were not of his race had different intentions.
No matter what, he and these Goethe people looked human.
As for the elves, they were foreign races.
The elves must have thought the same.
Therefore, in order to protect himself, he would definitely not investigate the foreign policies of the elves.
The first people he encountered were the Goethe people. The Goethe people had expressed enough kindness and sincerity. The Goethe people agreed with him that they were of the same race. The elves were extremely aggressive and hostile to their race. The possibility of the Goethe people lying was not high… This was enough to become a reason for Kang De to stand on their side.
He did the same.
He won.
But tonight, he saw something different.
Even if he understood that the world was not black or white, the feeling he had personally experienced was a thousand times deeper than the principle he had learned in books. These elves might really be fierce and domineering and provoke a war, but in front of right and wrong, they displayed the responsibility and courage of a powerful race.
Even the Goethe people admitted this. After the explosion, facing the surging flames and the gradually silent rift valley, even as enemies, the Goethe people silently bowed to this tomb.
They had a blood feud with the elves, but this was already the case, let alone Kang De, who had no grudge against the elves.
The transmigrator was even more shocked than Goethe.
He recognized the courage of the elves and praised their responsibility. At the same time, he also participated in the battle against the elves and set up a plan to wipe them out. He successfully implemented it.
Although he did not regret it, he still felt uncomfortable when he thought of the corpses of the elves who had been shot to death by the kangaroo, killed by the gas bomb, or killed by the enchanted crossbow…
He was a little tired.
The fruit of victory was not as sweet as he had imagined.
Therefore, he bade farewell to the knight and returned to the south to rest. The security of the island was handed to the magical animals. In any case, they were all very excited tonight. The battle had completely come to an end.
Previously, Adjutant Myron had disbanded the team and prepared to head to the rift valley alone. Some of the remaining elves followed him, and a few quietly left. Those brave followers had sacrificed their lives to block the black beast’s attempt to pursue Adjutant Myron. Even if they only blocked it for a period of time, they would still sleep there forever.
The elves who left were also captured by the magical animals of the North Island. At this moment, they were also handed over to the Goethe people who were tasked to guard these captives.
After doing all this, Kang De carried the parrot and returned to the valley.
He placed the parrot by the pillow and fell asleep.
In the sweet dream, Kang De dreamed of an extremely glorious and sacred creature. It was dazzling and stretched its burning golden wings to fly proudly in the sky. It was an extremely beautiful bird that combined all the gorgeousness in the world. It was simply the incarnation of a supreme beauty.
Kang De was attracted by it and kept approaching, wanting to see the other party’s appearance clearly and hear its voice again. Suddenly, he saw the other party turn its neck and stare at him with beautiful eyes as pure as flames. It flapped its wings and floated in the air, displaying the most beautiful scenery in the world in a peerless posture.
Then…
The bird opened its mouth and shouted, “—I want to f*ck you!”
Kang De shivered and woke up in fear.
His actions woke the parrot by the pillow.
The parrot blinked in a daze and turned its neck to look at Kang De. It froze for a few seconds, then shot up like a rocket and shouted in the room, “Idiot! Idiot!”
Kang De rolled his eyes.
“This dream…”
He rubbed his head and blinked when he heard the doorbell outside.
The doorbell was specially installed. If anything happened, the gorilla and the others would press the doorbell.
Kang De tidied up in front of the mirror and walked out. The parrot landed on his shoulder. As expected, the person who pressed the doorbell was the gorilla. When he opened the door, the gorilla’s eyes were a little dissatisfied.
Kang De followed its finger. Tina and Head Maid Bedolla were standing there, smiling at him.
He smiled, then held the gorilla’s hand and walked over. “Good morning, both of you.”
The two ladies raised their skirts and bowed to him seriously.
“Kang De, I wanted to thank you last night, but the knight said that you were tired, so I didn’t disturb you,” Tina said. “Thank you for everything you’ve done for us. Goethe won’t forget.”
Kang De asked, “The knight didn’t come?”
The girl nodded and said, “Yes, although the battle has ended, there are still many things to do. Therefore, Lady Bedolla accompanied me. Kang De, we discovered a large number of resources on the Wayne Wings. In addition, the ship itself is extremely valuable. You played a huge role in this battle. We’ll discuss these. After calculations, Goethe will give you the reward and gratitude you deserve.”
Kang De said, “Then, please give me the magic-related items on the ship first.”
The princess seemed to have expected him to say this and smiled, “Of course, and it’s far from enough. You don’t seem to understand what this victory means… In short, please leave it to us.”
Apart from nodding, what else could Kang De say?
He reached out and said, “Please sit over there.”
It was still under the umbrella from last time, but the situation was already different from before. The head maid stood at the side, and the gorilla sat on the ground. It reached out to hug one of Kang De’s hands and glared at Tina.
Kang De was chatting with her about last night.
“To think that you didn’t inform me after such a thing happened and couldn’t witness this scene. I’m really disappointed…”
Tina pouted.
Kang De said, “The knight is also thinking about your safety. After all, there might be danger…”
The princess’s mouth curled up even more. “Why are you speaking up for the knight too? You were clearly enemies at the start. How did you become good friends so quickly? Hmph!”
Although she was joking, Tina did feel an inexplicable sour feeling.
—D*mn it, I was clearly first. I’m still a girl, and I still…
Hmph.
Looking at Kang De’s slightly awkward expression, the girl smiled again, “Alright, I’m joking. I know the severity. Moreover, the knight also brought this back…”
She took out the scroll.
The scroll that the elves had risked their lives to send.
According to Sir Taize’s last words, everything was inside.
Kang De could not understand it, but he recognized it. It was the words in the altar.
The knight said that the princess might understand.
He asked, “Tina, do you recognize the words on it?”
“I recognize them, but I don’t really know them…” The princess looked at the words on the scroll and said softly, “This is a crimson scroll, a hero’s relic. The seven hero families all hold one, and it records incomprehensible words. I didn’t expect there to be one in the Holy Seal Islands…”
Kang De noticed that word. “You don’t know him very well?”
“Yes, I don’t know him very well.”
Tina blinked. “I’m not bragging, but among the brothers and sisters of the family, my knowledge is the best. These ancient words recorded on it can only be verified and learned through obscure and rare academic books. I’m more interested because I have the Crimson Scroll at home. I’ve also grasped some ancient words…”
Kang De casually asked, “Then can you understand these words?”
“I can understand a little and guess…”
At this point, a trace of worry appeared in the princess’s tone, “It’s just that what’s recorded in the scroll doesn’t seem to be a good thing. It seems to be describing some matters or records known as the Curtain Invasion…”
Seeing that Kang De was a little curious, she leaned closer and pushed the scroll over. She pointed at a word with her slender jade finger, “For example, I recognize some of these symbols here. If I’m bold enough to guess, the meaning here is that when the end is approaching, the Void Spirit will devour everything. The first to appear is from the curtain, symbolizing chaos and nothingness…”
She frowned and looked at the last word as if recalling the meaning and source of this term. In the end, she said uncertainly, “…White fog?”
