"Furthermore, we can all see that the congenital wounds on Little Fim's body have completely healed..."
"Now, she looks almost no different from a normal human girl."
“Fim, huh…” Kleinna paused, slightly hesitant.
"Lady Cletina."
Seeing this, Swell added fuel to the fire at the opportune moment, saying:
"I also recommend Lord Fim."
"She is the rightful choice—"
in the corner.
Fim sat blankly at the long table, unable to utter a single word the entire time.
The bow on her back came to a standstill...
……
The fierce blizzards howl incessantly throughout the year.
The towering snow-capped peaks stand on the edge of the continent, overlooking the entire landmass.
The pure white ice peaks that never melt stand atop the continent, their terrifying cold refusing access to most living beings.
There is only one exception.
On the towering ice peaks, countless snowflakes fell, and as one after another, icy wings unfolded, the once pure white snow peaks revealed countless caves covered with claw marks, revealing the ice dragons that lived within.
At that moment, they all raised their heads, letting out a dragon's roar that could only resound in this high sky, soaring straight into the clouds—
Their king has returned!!!
A massive shadow fell like a meteorite, reverberating across the pure white ice! An unprecedented avalanche cascaded down from the top, ravaging the mountains below.
A massive and majestic dragon cave stretches across the top of the continent atop the snow-capped peak.
The Frost Dragon King folded its wings, its golden eyes surveying its territory with satisfaction.
"king!"
A superior dragon, slightly smaller than Calest, the Ice Dragon Rob landed beside him and asked respectfully, "Your Majesty, was the journey successful?"
"Hmph, a minor oversight occurred." At this point, Callest rolled his eyes in displeasure, but then, thinking of the discoveries made on this trip, he suppressed his anger.
"Without Mino the Dragon Slayer, the human race has lost the glory of the Lightborn..."
After listening to Callest's account, Ice Dragon Rob nodded slightly, then seemed somewhat worried: "Won't there be any problems with the contract? Should I go and keep an eye on it...?"
“No need.” Carlest raised his head and suddenly smiled proudly.
"I don't let those humans guard the contract, partly because I don't want those unreliable humans to know too much about the secret, and partly because I actually engraved an ancient protective barrier on the contract long ago!"
"That's the most impregnable barrier; it can't be broken by sheer force of will..." Callest let out a smug snort.
"Only when the divine power and the demonic power are poured in absolutely equal amounts and at the same time can that barrier be shattered."
"However, you and I both know that's impossible."
Upon hearing this, the ice dragon Rob flapped its wings with some joy: "In that case, I wish Your Majesty all the best in achieving your desires with Queen Ignis—"
Callest's prestige extends to all the ice dragon clans.
Its pronouncements have never been wrong since ancient times...
……
Demon City.
"Or not."
After much deliberation, Kletina was still reluctant to let young Fim go on the mission alone, and soon she discovered a flaw.
“Although Fim’s physical condition is good, she lacks the means to travel long distances quickly… There are less than three days left in the year, and it is impossible for her to reach the capital before then.”
"This is not a difficult task."
At the long table, Apophis, who had anticipated this, smiled calmly, exuding a soothing holy aura and magical power.
"In that case, let this old man join in..."
Chapter 105: Necessary Conditions for Learning Ex-Curry Stick
"By using my ability to tear through space, I can greatly shorten the journey and also provide a guarantee for escaping."
Seated at the table, Apophis spoke calmly and indifferently:
"Even if that holy archmage makes a move, I can easily escape the humans' pursuit with Little Fim without getting bogged down in battle."
The powerful holy energy surged with magical energy, exuding a strong confidence as the strongest holy artifact of the former Holy Church.
"A joint operation by two great demons..."
Kleidina nodded; in that case, things were two different stories.
As a warrior-type, Fim has a natural advantage in unleashing Apophis's power. The combination of the old and the young is indeed more reliable than acting alone.
"So, the final key lies in how to divert the anger of the two dragon kings after the plan to destroy the contract is successfully completed."
Kleiner had already prepared a plan for this:
"We only need to deliberately leave some clues at the scene to mislead people into believing it's a terrorist act by an internal human faction. This method doesn't need to be very sophisticated—I believe that the two proud dragons will not listen to Ota's explanation calmly... At that time, the capital of the Kingdom of Kur will be the first to be hit."
Swell gently turned the pages and quickly found a suitable scapegoat:
“A group of money-grubbing ‘wolf mercenaries’ has been roaming the outskirts of the capital. It’s not surprising that they would do anything crazy in the outskirts of the capital.”
"And their mercenary group's cloaks and insignia can be replicated today..."
"Then it's settled." Kleinna nodded in satisfaction.
After she finished speaking, she suddenly felt as if she had left something out.
Turning her gaze to the end of the long table, Kleinna looked at the maid Fim, who had remained seated motionless from the moment the proposal was initiated until the details were finalized.
"Uh... Fim, you don't have any objections, do you?"
……
"My lord, that thing in your hand looks somewhat like the magical knowledge that the Holy Church lost long ago?"
Inside the cell.
Altotai was already used to his master always managing to pull out strange things from strange places.
“Otherwise what?” Mino gripped a jar that looked like a can.
Inside the transparent container, countless obscure and shimmering pieces of knowledge floated gently in the vacuum of the container, like pale golden cotton candy, and one could feel the extremely compressed amount of knowledge from above.
With both hands gripping the bottle cap tightly, veins bulging on her forehead, Mino tried with all her might, even using the same strength as when drinking milk tea, but couldn't unscrew the can. Frustrated, she raised her head:
"You think that every time I give something away for free, it's just for a delicious fried rice, a comfortable massage, and an endless supply of milk tea?!"
In the corner, Altothai gradually approached with curiosity, examining the magical jar of knowledge in Mino's hand while muttering, "Isn't that right?"
Mino nodded firmly: "Yes!"
"Grass."
“However, this canned knowledge containing the sword technique ‘Ex Curry Stick’ is something I can’t refuse,” Mino muttered, frowning.
"What?!" Altottai's sword tip snapped upright in surprise.
"My lord, you say that this canned knowledge contains the ancient, sacred sword technique—Ex Curry Stick?! That ultimate sword technique that symbolizes victory and covenant, invincible and unparalleled?!"
Altotai's heart surged with excitement, and he unleashed a legendary sword technique, the dream of all the holy swords!
“That’s right.” Mino smirked smugly.
"No one can resist Ex Curry Sticks!"
"Unless, I encounter the Dragon Ascension Sword!"
"Quickly! My lord! Quickly open the can of knowledge and let us, the villagers, see it!" Filled with excitement, Altottai urged repeatedly.
"I know……"
Mino lowered his head and focused his attention back on the knowledge of canned goods. He gritted his teeth and used all his strength, but the can lid was as if it were locked and wouldn't budge.
"But...why...this thing...can't be opened at all!!!"
Mino gradually felt a bit cheated and started panting heavily.
Meanwhile, Altottai seemed to be deep in thought:
"I think I heard in the Holy Church that canned knowledge can only be unlocked by meeting the right person... just like a key in the right lock. Does this thing have instructions?"
Mino paused, then carefully examined the can from all angles, and finally... found a line of small, transparent, raised text at the bottom of the clear can.
"Instructions for use: This can of knowledge can only be opened by a sweet, soft, pure-hearted, and exceptionally talented young girl of the right age... What the hell?!
With a loud smack, Mino angrily threw the can of knowledge onto the ground:
"So it really is from the same lineage as the Holy Church! No wonder it was lost!!!"
Dilulu——
The can rolled to the cell door, and with a creak, the cell door was gently pushed open by the trolley.
Bending down to pick up the can, Fim looked at Mino, blinked, and said very seriously:
"Mino, no, don't litter, that's trash."
"Isn't this Fim? What brings you here?" Mino blinked, then suddenly realized:
"Oh, it's almost dinner time... But don't worry, I just finished my milk tea and I'm still full... Hmm, what's wrong?"
Mino noticed that Fim was staring intently at him, as if he hadn't heard her speak, and gently pushed the cart in front of him.
An enticing aroma wafted over, and Fim took out a bowl of rice from the food cart, topped with a crispy and juicy steak and drizzled with a vibrant sauce.
Pork chop rice.
"Gulp! Actually, I'm not that full..." Mino swallowed.
