Chapter 1188: The Maid's Visit
Not pursuing immortality, not consuming humans (Wisdom Race), and naturally opposing "Sagali" is a mental stamp ingrained in human instincts, yet it's considered as a given. This genetic setting is not a constraint, but a form of protection, with its special significance.
The consequence of feeding cows with beef leads to mad cow disease; first the cows go mad, and then humans do. The taboo set by the creator is insurmountable.
Just a few days after the Imperial Princess visited Chen Fei, in the suburbs of the third largest city on the Zilu Continent, Nandu City, a video showing the Pure Light Sparrow flock annihilating the Metallic Dragons was finally released and circulated officially, significantly reducing the public opinion pressure faced by the Royal Family and the Institute of Noble Coats of Arms.
Although royal authority cannot be underestimated, preventing the people's mouths is harder than preventing a river. If public opinion is frequently ignored, problems can easily arise, potentially allowing certain forces to exploit these dark aspects to create trouble. Over time, the truth becomes unimportant, while rebellion and chaos become significant.
The scene of a pillar of light descending from the sky and blasting the adult Metallic Dragon to death finally exposed to the public, unsurprisingly, caused a worldwide uproar.
Who would have thought that the seemingly weak Pure Light Sparrows, when gathered, could create such a terrifying spectacle,
considering that even for dragons and high-ranked magical beasts, casting a Grand Forbidden Curse is not an easy feat.
Sidney Ona Marquis, on behalf of the Institute of Noble Coats of Arms, promptly announced the cancellation of the duel, which was quickly understood as a wise decision. Otherwise, a Light Series Grand Forbidden Curse hitting the Imperial Stadium could have obliterated at least two hundred thousand civilians along with the nobility, and possibly affected the neighboring Imperial Capital, causing unimaginable turmoil.
As the video spread widely, the initial response was surprisingly an increase in the price of Pure Light Sparrow skewers in the market, swiftly rising from 1 Star Yuan per skewer to 2 Star Yuan. That price only lasted a day before jumping to 3 Star Yuan, 4 Star Yuan, and finally stabilizing at 5 Star Yuan.
Seeing such astonishing price increases in the newspaper for Pure Light Sparrow skewers, Chen Fei, with a bachelor's degree in economics, couldn't help but gasp in shock. Unfortunately, he couldn't make a fortune from it, possibly because Xiao Jiu might dislike it.
Emmm…
Both inside and outside the residence where he was staying, the number of Pure Light Sparrows suddenly increased.
Passersby saw the dense cluster of little birds on the branches, rooftops, statues, and walls, feeling inexplicably flustered.
Even the juvenile female Metallic Dragon Yilan lying in the garden was boldly approached by quite a few Pure Light Sparrows.
Ms. Mason, the female butler, did not have such illusions. She truly felt the pressure.
The small black bird with golden feathers on its wings and a crest on its head, jumping around on Chen Fei, exuded an aura belonging to a magical beast of the Ninth Human Position rank, just a line away from the Earth Order.
With the "Boundary Pearl's" Life Space, Chen Fei no longer kept Xiao Jiu and its flock of Pure Light Sparrows on Kotra Island. Especially after the barrier of the "Life Tree" covered the two "Skylight" cities, it left room for these sparrows to come and go, no longer a giant cage restraining them.
Within the confines of the "Life Tree's" barrier, these Pure Light Sparrows are not only free but also safe.
Some bold Pure Light Sparrows even flew up to the branches of the "Life Tree" to build nests and settle down, rather than being devoured like previous creatures that fell into the canopy.
"They say after staying long on Blue Star, advancing in rank becomes easier upon arriving at Cangqiong Star, but Xiao Jiu seems quiet!"
Heseman Brown closely observed the little bird for a long time, but saw no signs of this Pure Light Sparrow breaking through to the Earth Order.
A Ninth Human Rank Pure Light Sparrow is unheard of; an Earth Order Pure Light Sparrow probably wouldn't even be considered a Pure Light Sparrow anymore, right?
"Who knows? The ninth rank is already sufficient."
Chen Fei played with the little creature with his hand. The Ninth Human Rank Pure Light Sparrow could not be easily dealt with, not even by a biological space mothership, and vice versa; the sparrow and the mothership couldn't do anything to each other, being extremes of small and large.
Even though the Pure Light Sparrow is a very weak magical beast, it is subject to some unknown constraints, and even the "Life Tree" cannot hatch these little birds in large quantities like it does with other creatures.
Spiritual power quietly spread out, effortlessly covering the entire courtyard, specially picking out the young Pure Light Sparrows just leaving their nests, and stealthily collecting them into the "Boundary Pearl's" Life Space to expand the sparrow flock, showing immediate effect, increasing by hundreds within just ten minutes.
In the distance, Pure Light Sparrows continued flying into the courtyard of the residence.
Cangqiong Star is the homeland of the Pure Light Sparrows, with hundreds of thousands living in the Imperial Capital, Delan City of the Silan Dynasty. Even if tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, go missing, it would hardly be noticeable.
Chen Fei's behavior of "stealing" Pure Light Sparrows was not reckless; he kept some restraint, stopping at most when the number reached a hundred thousand, as the shortfall would soon be replenished through natural reproduction.
If all of a sudden over a million Pure Light Sparrows disappeared, the natural ecological environment of Delan City and its surroundings would inevitably be affected.
"Is gathering so many Pure Light Sparrows with Xiao Jiu a show of force?"
A small Pure Light Sparrow even stood on Heseman Brown's head, which was quite bold of these little birds to dare stand on the S-Class special ability user's head.
"Of course not, it's a natural gathering. But I can just take the opportunity to select some Pure Light Sparrows with good qualifications to fill Xiao Jiu's flock."
Chen Fei extended his hand, a strange Pure Light Sparrow landed on his finger, looked around but was quickly driven away by Xiao Jiu.
Pure Light Sparrows are gregarious magical beast sparrows that spontaneously gather around higher-ranked counterparts. So when the Ninth Human Rank Xiao Jiu appeared, the other nearby Pure Light Sparrows naturally swarmed around.
Leaning on a strong presence for protection is entirely biological instinct.
Heseman Brown's eyes lit up and he agreed enthusiastically: "Oh? That's quite a good idea!"
Xiao Jiu is not overwhelming, but ten thousand is unbeaten.
The "Boundary Pearl" Life Space's flock of Pure Light Sparrows had quality (mostly of the Seventh Human Rank), but lacked substantial numbers. If the numerical shortfall could be filled, it could indeed become a formidable trump card.
A flock of a million Pure Light Sparrows can block out the sky and the sun, and an S-Class Space Ability User couldn't imagine what kind of fate would befall someone who opposes it; even dragons wouldn't qualify as adversaries!
"Lord Chen Fei!"
A maid walked through the flock of flying Pure Light Sparrows to reach Chen Fei.
"Hello, Fei Dani!"
Chen Fei recognized her; she was Her Royal Highness Princess Lin Ziyu's personal maid, wearing a consistently light purple Gothic maid outfit, distinct from the attire of the mansion's other maids, standing out like a crane among chickens.
Glancing over Fei Dani, he didn't see anyone else, suggesting she came alone to the residence.
"Didn't Her Highness the Princess come?"
"Her Highness had matters to attend to and entrusted me to deliver the second batch of materials."
Lin Ziyu's personal maid Fei Dani handed over a tablet. The second batch of materials related to the soul was stored in the local storage of this tablet.
"Oh, thank you for your hard work."
Chen Fei took the tablet, skillfully extracted the data interface evolved from the psi skill "Universal Data Transceiver," and connected it to the tablet's data port for the AI "Adam" to directly copy the materials.
"If you have time, I can take you to the place where the 'Stargate' is set up."
Fei Dani's visit was not only to deliver the second tablet with soul-related materials but also to address another important matter.
"Has a location been chosen?"
Chen Fei stood up.
Previously, he had negotiated with Princess Lin Ziyu about the requirements for setting up a "Stargate" on Cangqiong Star, but the "Stargate" was more sensitive than the "Dimensional Gate," so neither party mentioned it openly after his arrival on Cangqiong Star, until now.
Evidently, the Silan Royal Family had made the necessary preparations for the "Stargate."
"Yes!"
Fei Dani nodded, then said: "'Stargate' usage is restricted to you alone and cannot be granted to any other individuals or forces beyond the second party. I only need the coordinate location."
Chen Fei naturally replied: "Of course, I can guarantee that!"
With access to positioning data and sufficient energy, the "Stargate" is far more practical than the "Dimensional Gate." The Silan Royal Family's concerns were entirely understandable.
Fei Dani was prepared with transportation, leading Chen Fei, Heseman Brown, and Dang Wei Jun directly to the site approved for the "Stargate" establishment.
