Chapter 1180 - 594: Visiting Fairy Town, Suddenly Hearing of an Old Friend’s Arrival (Part 4)
Aside from the recently promoted [Wolf Grandmother] and [Little Mermaid].
The School also includes [The Little Match Girl], [Princess Pea], [Ice Queen], [Alibaba and the Forty Thieves], and [Little Prince].
Altogether, there are seven Fifth Order members in the School, a testament to the centuries-old university faction.
However, as seen before us, there’s a critical issue—Black Sorcery all comes with side effects, and the Fairy Tale School is no exception.
Their side effects make them more or less influenced by their respective fairy tale characters.
Perhaps their power is not weak, but most of them are quite innocent and whimsical.
They truly believe children are inherently stronger than adults.
They dare to pursue fantasies akin to Arabian Nights, achieving feats beyond adults, discovering truths about life hard to understand for grown-ups.
Yet they won’t be confined by adults’ false politeness and insincere etiquette.
The most typical example being the Chief of the School [Little Prince].
His fairy tale symbolizes [Hope], [Love], [Innocence], and [the childlike wisdom buried in the hearts of each of us].
From his Authority, you can tell his personality and character.
[The Little Match Girl] is similar.
No ceremonious welcome for the Fifth Order Pseudo-God, just teachers bringing out their favorite lollipops, ready to share with long-missed disciples.
As for the old mother Heather...
Seeing her change into princess pink, so effortlessly winning, upon entering Fairy Town, after being a strong, self-made woman is evidence of her obvious side effect: "periodic ambition, with persistent laziness and contentment with the status quo!"
Byron seemed particularly gratified by such an old mother.
"Sisters, our family fortune is secured, truly worth celebrating.
After all, we’re rich but not endlessly so; wasting a villa every three minutes, we’d surely go bankrupt in five hundred years."
But as he followed Britney to the castle, preparing to meet two Wizards, a trace of hesitation grew in his heart.
Celebrating the pure essence of childhood and every truth, good and beautiful thing in the world is certainly good, and working with such people should rarely worry about backstabbing.
But, one can’t always remain a child!
Although a well-worn phrase, the truth remains: the serenity you enjoy is because someone else bears the weight for you.
My mother can be carefree, indulging in life’s pleasures, only because we men are supporting the household.
But you are the backbone of the School; how can it continue to be innocent and whimsical?
The innocence of childhood is charming to others when you’re young.
But... let him go, he’s just a three-hundred-year-old child!
The thought of it makes one’s teeth ache.
Byron couldn’t help but second-guess the decision to cooperate with them carefully.
However, upon arriving at the castle gate and locking eyes with [Little Prince] Eck Supery, who somersaulted down from the castle’s top, he realized his shallowness.
A pair of baby-like eyes pure and sincere, clear and simple.
As if negative effects from the Sea of Origin Matter couldn’t taint them.
Even Byron’s calculating heart calmed down.
Soon, a chill swept over his heart.
The deepest impression was:
"He eats when it’s time to eat, plays when it’s time to play, sleeps when it’s time to sleep.
Absolutely unlike ordinary people who when eating look around, think this and that, make countless calculations, endless considerations.
When sleeping, are restless, dream this and that, toss and turn."
[Little Prince] may lack absolute strength compared to himself.
But the "Unity of All Things" level of his Mind Realm far surpasses his, likely exceeding the 10% threshold early on!
Then he realized he was clearly a playful old sage, a sweeping monk, or an "I bet he can’t kill us all before his strength is exhausted" ancient immortal!
...
As Byron visited Fairy Town, deep in the Sunset Desert to the north of "Distant View Port".
A bloody hunt and counter-kill were drawing to an end.
Two groups, one wearing the "Papyrus River Flower Snake" emblem of Desert Empire court guards, the other a handsome knight clad in black armor.
Bang!
The black-armored knight drew a longsword, like an Eternal Lake Light, from the chest of the last fallen court Guard Commander, then crushed his head underfoot.
Looking towards the Northern Desert Empire’s Imperial City, he slowly shook his head:
"Such a pity, [World’s Foremost Beauty], [Radiant Queen]’s defense is too tight, she herself a premier Upper-level Wizard.
Repeatedly I tried to sneak into her Royal Palace to commence a grand ’Courtly Love’ but to no avail.
This time returning to the Royal Palace, this beauty summoned many human Wizards nearby for some unknown reason, leading to my failure again.
A real shame really.
But, woman, you’ve successfully caught my attention, we’ll see what happens!"
A crescent Blood Moon illuminated his face, casting a handsome visage that could make little girls scream.
On the scabbard of the sword at his waist was inscribed in Sprite script: "Eternal Lake Light"!
Just about to turn back through the "Sunset Desert" to return to the Northern Continent, where his beloved beautiful Queens all reside.
Even though none of these Queens belong to him, that didn’t stop him from indulging freely.
At this moment, a South Wind blew, triggering a twitch at the knight’s nose, and he turned towards the Southern Continent.
His lake-like blue eyes suddenly alit:
"There is a beautiful Queen whom I’ve never met, yet she inexplicably exudes a familiar feeling, like a Northern Sea vibe, a northern chill, much like my... Guinevere!"
Involuntarily of his own will, he set off, heading south.
