Chapter 515: The Fire-Stealing Walker
Chapter 515 The "Fire-Stealing Walker" in This Cycle
Little Sefalia ran into Danlei's arms, crying and making a fuss, demanding that Danlei confirm her identity as her biological mother.
Dan Lei was also troubled by this, as he could not directly access the scepter's database, and his personal data would not show kinship.
So Danlei had no idea who Sefalia's biological mother was.
So Danlei could only resort to the universal method of coaxing children—distracting them.
Kids are like that; if you distract them, they'll forget about anything that makes them unhappy.
Moreover, Cephalia is a kitten, and her curiosity is several times stronger than that of human kittens.
So, Danlei used a silk scarf to wipe away little Sefalia's tears and snot, and said with a smile...
"Stop crying, little Sephalia. Your face is all stained with tears. Are you planning to become a little kitten?"
As for your mother, isn't the entire palace full of her?
Don't you like Aglaia's mother anymore?
Or are you planning to have your Aunt Mortes, Aunt Fengjin, Aunt Titi, Aunt Xilian, Aunt Seneos, and Aunt Heather take turns being your mother?
Little Sefalia still liked Aglaia very much, because Aglaia had been raising her ever since she could remember.
Therefore, her attention immediately shifted from whether Sai Fei'er was her biological mother, and she firmly stated...
"Dragon God, no, I don't dislike Mother Aglaia."
It's not that I dislike everyone, I just..."
Before Little Sefalia could finish speaking, Danlei resolutely interrupted her, not giving her a chance to change the subject.
"Alright, I know our little Sefaria loves everyone who is kind to her."
As a reward for little Sephalia, I'll secretly take you to the streets of Janusapolis to eat golden honey cakes.
Upon hearing that there would be delicious food and Danlei would take her out to play, little Safalia immediately lost interest in whether her biological mother was Saifeier, and her eyes lit up as she said...
"Okay, okay, Dragon God, I want to eat fried fish cakes too."
Aglaia's mother always says this stuff has no nutritional value and won't let me eat it.
Danlei understands that kids like to eat snacks that have little nutritional value. He remembers that when he was in elementary school in his previous life, the crispy chicken fried in some kind of oil outside his door was also his favorite.
So, Danlei cast a magic spell to conceal his appearance, had Little Sefalia ride on his shoulders, and opened a memory portal to go directly to the busiest commercial district in Janusapolis.
A dozen minutes later, a "father" appeared in the commercial district of Janusapolis, letting his "daughter" ride on his shoulders while eating fried fish.
Danlei didn't care about the fish scraps falling on his head; washing his hair would solve everything. But nothing compared to little Sefalia's smile.
However, just as the two were heading to the shop selling golden honey cakes, little Sefalia suddenly pounced on Danlei's head and whispered...
"My Lord Dragon God, something terrible has happened! Mother Aglaia is here!"
Upon hearing this, Dan Lei immediately sensed something was amiss. He hadn't informed anyone of his departure, and Heather wasn't around. Furthermore, the magic he possessed was impenetrable to ordinary people. How could Aglaia have found him so quickly?
So, Danlei used his mental energy to directly cover the entire commercial area, wanting to see if Aglaia had just happened to come out to buy something, and that he and Little Sefalia were just too lucky to have bumped into her.
As it turned out, Aglaia was found, but this Aglaia was not the same as the other Aglaia.
Dan Lei's mental scan revealed that Aglaia was wearing a hooded robe that covered her entire body and was pretending to buy something at a shop, but in reality, she was observing the movement of the patrolling soldiers on the street.
Aglaia's attire is not uncommon in Janusapolis.
Janusapolis has many pilgrims from outside the city, and the outer commercial district is a mixed bag. To avoid trouble, many women do wear hoods that completely cover their faces.
But Aglaia is clearly not included in this category.
She was no weak woman, but a heroine who could raise her sword and shout, "I said life is as fragile as silk, are you deaf?"
Okay, Aglaia didn't say the above; it's a product of Aglaia appearing in Danlei's dream in a certain "what if" scenario.
However, in reality, Danlei's Aglaia doesn't need to sneak around on the street like that.
In order to show his attitude to Lai Gushi, Dan Lei brought Aglaia to this reincarnation without any attempt to conceal it.
They even went to the Divine Enlightenment Tree Garden immediately to take away the spark of romance.
Although Aglaia did not fuse with the fire seed because she did not want to lose her sight and not be able to see little Sephalia's growth, she planned to fuse with it when the plan began.
Since she had already been a demigod for a thousand years, she didn't need to familiarize herself with the ability. After the fusion, she could immediately unleash the maximum combat power of the Romantic Demigod.
Similarly, Feng Jin has not yet merged with the fire of the sky. The two fires will definitely bring her pain, so there is no need to suffer before the plan begins.
Therefore, Aglaia, who would appear in the commercial district in this attire to observe the soldiers, is clearly the young Aglaia of Ohma.
Little Safalia was able to recognize her because cats don't just rely on sight to recognize people; smell and the target's movements are also important parameters.
Aglaia loves to bathe, and the aromatherapy she uses has remained unchanged for thousands of years, so little Sephalia immediately recognized her scent.
Aglaya from Ohma sneaked into Janusapolis's commercial street; it was obvious something was amiss.
Therefore, Danlei instantly expanded the scope of his mental scan to the entire city.
However, Danlei didn't find many Golden Race members of unknown origin in the city at this time, which meant that Aglaia's companion probably hadn't entered the city yet.
Because, if it's just about gathering information about the commercial district of Janusapolis, there's clearly no need for a young Aglaia, a top member of the Ohmama Golden Clan, to scout the area.
This Aglaialai Yanusapolis must be here to do something big.
So, Danlei lifted little Sefalia off his head and whispered to her...
"Little Sefaria, it looks like we can play one more game today."
The Aglaia you found is not your Aglaia mother; she is someone in Ohmma who looks exactly like Aglaia.
So we need to follow her and see what she's here for.
When Little Sefalia heard that they were being followed, she assumed that Danlei was going to take her out to play, and immediately nodded frantically.
Meanwhile, Danlei used his phone to notify Haiseyin, asking her to tell Xiao Saifalia that he would be taking care of her and that he would be back a little late today, so she shouldn't worry. He then bought some golden honey cakes and took Xiao Saifalia to keep a distance from the young man Aglaia, who was scouting several main streets in Janusapolis.
Young Aglaia wandered the streets until nightfall, when she finally met up with a convoy of vehicles transporting live chickens and vegetables after Danlei's artificial sun temporarily went out.
This convoy was clearly not a legitimate one. Dan Lei scanned it with his mental energy and found dozens of Golden Descendants hidden among the cargo, including Keludela.
She was hiding under the chicken coop, her head covered in chicken feathers. The only thing that mattered was that the temperature of the flames on her crown was controllable; otherwise, the hen on her head would have been cooked long ago.
At the same time, Dan Lei also noticed similar convoys entering the city at several other gates of Janusapolis.
Because of the high food consumption within the city, the city gate guards were relatively lax in their inspections of these food transport convoys.
So, in less than an hour, more than 500 unfamiliar Golden Descendants suddenly appeared in the city.
As soon as Crydella appeared, Danlei basically guessed what she was there for. Crydella's corresponding flame is the flame of law.
Thanks to Danlei's existence, Tarranton is still alive and well in the valley behind the city, keeping company with Georia's dragon eggs.
Krydella's objective was likely to attack Tarranton and then retreat rapidly before Janusapolis could react.
Dan Lei estimated that at this moment, Ludela probably didn't know that she was in Janusapolis.
Because Danlei has been almost completely out of the public eye for the past forty years, he has not made a formal appearance since taking the spark of romance from the Divine Enlightenment Tree Garden.
Whenever he needs to be in public, Danlei will use a concealment magic trick to hide himself.
As far as the outside world is concerned, no one knows exactly where Danlei is.
Even within Janusapolis, among those not members of the Temple of Immortality, only Mortes knew that Danlei was in the city; even Tibo didn't know Danlei's whereabouts.
Therefore, even if Krydela asked Tian, who was beside her, she could not get Danlei's position.
Of course, if Crydella wanted to launch a surprise attack on the back of Janusapolis, an inside agent was essential.
Without a guide, she couldn't go directly to the altar to the gods.
It should be noted that the valley behind Janusapolis is protected by both Titan power barriers and barriers set up by Danlei, making it impossible to bypass it by going around the mountains.
Therefore, Danlei did not directly jump out to stop Krydella's actions, but instead thought of taking the opportunity to find her inside agent.
It's not surprising that Janusapolis has an inside man in Ohma, but Danlei is quite curious as to who doesn't want a good life anymore and has hooked up with Krydla.
The answer was obvious. Ceryldella quickly arrived at the entrance of the temple in Janusapolis with dozens of Golden Bloods around her. A mid-level priest brazenly led Ceryldella, whose face was covered, and her guards into the temple.
Fortunately, the temple guards were not bribed. They carefully checked everyone and only let them pass after confirming that they were not carrying any weapons.
However, this mid-level priest actually led Krystalla directly to the armory guarded by the temple. These well-trained Golden Bloods were not ordinary soldiers who could deal with them even if they were unarmed.
Moreover, the temple armory was located deep within the heart of the holy city, and the guards were indeed a bit lax, allowing Kerudela and her group to successfully launch a surprise attack.
Someone is about to die. Danlei said that little Saifalia is not old enough to see blood.
So Danlei, along with little Sefaria, descended from the sky like a shooting star, their terrifying dragon might instantly crushing all the Golden Bloods brought by Crydella to the ground.
Only Crydella managed to stay upright by using her scepter (which the guards didn't consider a weapon).
Danlei's sudden appearance truly frightened Kerudela. She gritted her teeth and, bracing herself against the dragon's might, said...
"Dragon God Danlei, what are you doing here?"
Don't tell me you suddenly decided to inspect the armory and just happened to run into us.
At this moment, the Golden Bloods brought by Krydella had already been surrounded by the guards who had rushed over after hearing the commotion.
Dan Lei no longer needed to use his intimidating aura to suppress them, and answered directly.
"There was no other way. I took the kids out to sneak a bite of golden honey cake, only to find that Prince Caesar of Ohm was hiding under a chicken coop as he entered the city."
This piqued my curiosity so much that I followed them all the way here.
To be honest, if you don't actually kill anyone, I'm prepared to follow you a little longer.
I'm curious how you're going to get into the altar to worship the gods.
Unfortunately, the soldiers' lives are more important than my curiosity. Since you intend to kill, I had no choice but to intervene.
Krydella was a little dazed. She never expected that her surprise attack on Janusapolis and her plan to seize the Fire of Law would fail for such an absurd reason.
But Keludela did not doubt that Danlei was lying.
Because Danlei had absolutely no need for this, especially since she actually had a little cat named Dolores who looked to be under ten years old with her.
So, Krydella helplessly pointed at little Sephalia and asked...
"I said, this child, could it be yours and your subordinate Dolores the Catwoman's child?"
No, she looks exactly like that Sai Fei'er, she must be her child.
"Seriously, you celestial dragon god, can you really have a child with Onpharos?"
As soon as Crydella said this, little Sefaria immediately looked up at Danlei and asked expectantly.
"Dragon God~~ Is that Daddy?"
Upon hearing this, Danlei felt helpless. He had just coaxed little Sefaria that morning, but Krydella was talking too much nonsense.
However, at this moment, Danlei could only explain to little Sefalia...
"Sefaria, don't listen to that weird aunt's nonsense."
Although I like Sefaria very much, Sefaria, you are really not my child.
Given the strength of my bloodline, my child will definitely take on a dragon form and will not be able to retain the cat ears and tail of the Dolores cat people.
Besides, Sefaria is so clever, how could she possibly believe the words of this bandit leader?
Little Sefalia nodded, seemingly understanding Danlei's explanation.
She didn't dwell on whether Danlei was her father or not, because she had never felt that sense of closeness from Danlei, that blood connection.
Little Sefalia had only ever felt this kind of emotion with Sefair.
Danlei's explanation was also addressed to Kerudela.
She realized she had misunderstood, because Danlei was right. With the strength of his bloodline, it was impossible for his offspring to retain the characteristics of a cat; at the very least, they would mutate.
So, when Danlei looked at her with some anger, Kerudela, unusually, showed a guilty expression and said...
"I admit the mistake in what I just said; I shouldn't have made up stories about Lord Dragon God."
However, you're really good to your subordinate's daughter; you even secretly took her out to play yourself.
Seeing that Krydella was deliberately steer the conversation toward little Sefaria, clearly trying to stall for time, Danlei asked curiously...
"Cerudela, you are stalling for time."
Now that things have come to this, who will come to your rescue?
Just as Dan Lei finished speaking, Lai Gushi's voice suddenly came from the shadows on the side, saying...
"The great Caesar is not delaying for rescue; she is simply waiting for me to deliver what is rightfully hers."
