Chapter 75
The journey in the Immemorial was much easier than in the Ancient Wood Desolate Marsh .
This place certainly had venomous snakes, ferocious beasts, as well as poisonous insects, demons, and ghosts, but at least the ground below their feet was solid . Some trails could vaguely be found in the forest . They, at the very least, didn’t need to watch every step they took .
Stelle flew back and forth in the forest, seriously implementing her duty of scouting . Lei was also properly fulfilling his duty as a “Mount” as well as gossiping with the green hat, Sui Xiong, on his head .
“When we reach the Immemorial Forest, we should visit the ancient God Shrine of the Elf to see the world’s greatest virtuous person . ” He said,
“Unfortunately, our location is too far from the ancient God Shrine of the Elf . It is a bit to the east of the Immemorial Forest, adjacent to the Thousand Springs country . From here, we go over . . . . ” He silently calculated a little, “It probably would take half a month of traveling . “
“Forget it . ” Sui Xiong swung up his tentacles coolly, “Our business is more important . We have to find Parn the Knight first then bring back the Lord of my Holy Land . After that, it is no problem to leisurely wander everywhere . “
“Is Parn the Knight very powerful?” Lei was a little skeptical, asking, “Is he so worthy that you have to cross almost the entire main surface to invite him?”
“I don’t know, but for the church’s development, I certainly need talents .
No matter if this knight is an expert in building a territory or not, or an unrecognized talent or a talent that has been disseminated by other people, I will have to invite him personally . “
Lei was in a daze, silent for a while then spoke up,” “I didn’t think that you could understand clearly our human politics like this!”
“In an unknown distant country, there was a King . As he wanted a good horse, he had sent his capable official and spent a big amount of money to get that horse .
After three months of searching, that capable official finally got some news about the good horse . But when he hurried to get there the horse had been sick and died not long after . The capable official spent half the budget to buy the skeleton of that horse and brought it back . The King angrily asked for his reason and he answered: ‘If a King is willing to spend a large amount of money on the skeleton of a good horse, the seller of the good horse will definitely prioritize you, so you will
soon get a good horse’ . Indeed like what he said, in less than a year, many people brought good horses to the King . “
After listening to Sui Xiong’s story about a “thousand gold for a bone”, Lei muttered to himself irresolutely for a while and then sighed . “These days, Highness hasn’t mentioned ‘some distant country’ once . That place really has many great people and many stories that awaken people’s minds . But I have never heard about that country . . . Highness Hollow Mask, where on earth is that

country? Am I lucky enough to get to visit that country someday?”
Sui Xiong forced a smile and said: “If I can, I would also like to know where on earth that country is . If I have the chance to go and you still want to come along when that time comes, I will bring you with me . “
“It is just that . . . If we go, there might be no coming back . “
Lei nonchalantly shook his shoulders . Thing like not coming back had no impact on him . In this place, there were no longer things that he couldn’t abandon .
Seeing his attitude, Sui Xiong immediately knew the answer, but couldn’t help but sigh inside .
Lei might be the Prince, but how did he become this mess? After the church is stable, should I think of a way to help him redeem his Prince identity? I can probably make him a King . . .
Unknowingly, he drowned in his thoughts again .
“Can I raise this guy?” Stelle’s voice woke him up from his thinking . After having recovered his mind, he could only see that she was completely amused at her newly caught magic creature .
That magic creature looked somewhat similar to Sui Xiong . It was a Slime .
The Slime was raised by the Grand Master Torian, who was an expert in
enchanting, alchemy and medical treatment, when he was still alive . It was a blue Slime with wisdom . Its habit was to turn into a young long-haired girl .
Before Grand Master Torian had died, he gave it the name “Wendy”, as well as his legacy; to this one and only disciple . And this young girl Slime also deserved the identity of “the one and only successor of the Grand Master Torian” . Similarly, she was a multi-talented master of enchanting, alchemy and medical treatment .
The only thing that was unmatched compared to her teacher was her strength .
Anyway . . . she was just a Slime .
Slime was known as a weak chicken race with poor fighting power . Basically, the majority of Slimes were small and weak to the extent that an adult could beat four or five Slimes . Although there were some variants with a stronger strength among this race, no matter how much they varied, their foundation in the end was too weak . There was a limitation in their development .
For example, Wendy could be considered a super power among the Slime; a matchless powerhouse who could punch the fierce tiger in the South Mountain and kick the JiaoLong in the North Sea . But if she didn’t stay inside the Magic Tower and didn’t have the scroll and other assistant tools, with merely her fighting strength, she was at most a newbie adventurer who was seen as “weak chicken
pecking others” .
The Slime that Stelle had just caught was also a variant species . Its build was much smaller than normal Slime; at most as big as one’s palm . Its entire body was a leaf green color, which made it look gorgeous . But through Sui Xiong’s spirit sensing, he could see clearly this fellow’s strength was way more powerful than ordinary Slime .
In the Immemorial Forest, Slime was considered a pretty commonly seen magic creature . At this moment, not far away from them under a tree, a verdant soft Slime was slowly digesting a worm . That guy’s physique was a hundred times bigger than the one Stelle caught, but its strength was not even one-tenth the one in Stelle’s hand .

“This Slime is very rare . ” Lei curiously looked at the obedient girl in Stelle’s hand, the motionless little green Slime, and couldn’t help but praise, “Really beautiful! What a work of art!”
“Right, I came across it a moment ago, and took a lot of effort to seize it . ” Stelle excitingly said, “When I caught it, it resisted me intensely . But when I gave it a piece of sweets, it immediately behaved, which was indeed like a small innocent girl . . . . “
She enthusiastically raised a child-inappropriate example and then raised another . Lei couldn’t help but glare at this woman, completely speechless with this woman’s examples, which was had a large-scale and an incompatible content .
They, a wretch who almost turned into an evil Holy Spirit and a bad egg who only knew of killing people and setting fires, were like putting all the dirt of this entire world onto a pure little flower!
When considering this, he silently took two steps back, and widened his distance from Stelle .
Although he wasn’t sure if her perversion was infectious or not, it was still better to stay away from her .
It didn’t matter for Sui Xiong . That year, he had been active in many big forums, been through numerous types of “Filthy king”, “Filthy Saint”, who specialized in attacking other’s lower parts whenever they spoke up . In comparison to that, Stelle’s words, which would be covered by countless asterisks if they appeared in an online novel, was indeed nothing .
But he also couldn’t help but be surprised at her happy and excited expression .
“Stelle, at the beginning I thought, except for being pervert, you would not like anything else . It turns out that you like pets too . Ha ha, what you are doing right now is what a normal woman would do!”
Stelle beamed a beautiful smile, . “This little fellow is not only cute, but also unpredictable . I have to try and educate it!”
It was probably because she was overly excited; her mouth was full of curse words again, which were not appropriate for children .
While Sui Xiong was silent, not having anything else to say; meanwhile, Lei couldn’t bear but chant the Band-tightening Spell .
After being tortured for a while, Stelle in the end still got the approval to keep this rare pet . But Sui Xiong warned her very seriously that she could not play any hardcore games .
“I won’t get hurt . It is only this big . ” Stelle said .
“I’m more worried about it hurting us!”The jellyfish and his mount shouted in unison .
In that second, their synchronization rate was 100%!
“Lei, this wretch is talking nonsense again . Chant the Band-tightening Spell . “
“Yes! I have been wanting to do that!”
Stelle acted as if she didn’t hear the conversation between Sui Xiong and Lei, attentively playing with the little Slime, which she had just named “Little Cui”, and completely forgot everything else .
After getting this pet, Stelle was more behaved . When she had free time, she wouldn’t sneakily run off to satisfy her needs, but she would put her mind into educating this pet .
Her education content was really suspicious . She made that green little Slime turn into a shape that would be censored on TV and after that she taught it to stretch out and shorten, constantly vibrating its body– — -the low- intelligence Slime of course would not understand what that meant, but Sui Xiong and Lei both understood . . .
“Do you need me to chant the Band-tightening Spell?” Lei asked .
” . . . Although I really want to, to be honest, it is not reasonable . ” Sui Xiong sighed, “What kind of excuse should I use to punish her? Abuse her pet?”
Seeing Little Slime’s extremely happy face when it got a candy after trying to practice for a period of time, Lei couldn’t help but sigh and lower his head .
His heart was full of helpless frustration .
After about a week on their journey, they met the second Elf village .
This village looked similar to the last one, but its scale was much bigger . Not to mention, the masters in this village were like clouds . Through the energy, Lei could sense that they were more than masters . Deep in a normal house in the corner of the village was an energy that was as deep as the sea . That energy would flash out sometimes . Even a big gut lonesome thief would feel anxious when he came across this .
It was not only that . The atmosphere in the village was also very tense . Most people on the street were carrying weapons . There were other races besides the Tree
Elf living here; including some high, robust Wild Elf pastors that wore heavy armor engraved with the Elf Holy Emblem . They didn’t look like the type that lived in the forest; clearly outsiders .
“What’s the matter?” Sui Xiong of course felt it too . He stretched out his tentacles to poke Stelle who was staring unblinkingly at a robust Wild Elf far away, and commanded her to find some information .
Stelle happily received this order, threw her luggage into the room, humming
along her way . After a period of time, she laughed happily on her way back and told Sui Xiong the information that she had acquired .
“Lately, there has been an evil red dragon coming to this village . It has destroyed two Villages and at the same time has captured a lot of Elves as a food reserve . They all find their best fighters here to establish a dragon-slaughtering team . This team is made to destroy the evil dragon, get revenge for the deceased comrades, and rescue other clan members .
“So it is like this . . . ” Sui Xiong thought for a while, then smilingly said, “How about we join this as well?”

The Lady's Handbook of Intrigue and Murder (High Fantasy Politics)
Summary:The daughter of a dying house is summoned to the Imperial City to meet and perhaps marry a handsome prince. It sounds like a fairy tale. Except Mydea doesn’t have the advantage of a half-forgotten childhood encounter, supreme magic to match the highest echelons of society, or even the privilege of an ally. In order to survive and make a name for herself, she must beat the Imperial Court at its own game. At least no one's tried to kill her—yet. Notes: Basically, if you liked the magic of Harry Potter and the politics of Game of Thrones, you'll probably like this. While the first book focuses on the female lead, and the interplay of competing regional and imperial interests, subsequent books will also cover warfare and how I imagine that differs wildly from historical norms with the introductions of a magical aristocracy. Updates every Mon / Thurs / SatAdvance Chapters available on my Patreon [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
