An invincible journey starting from a different race

After coming out, the puppet shop clerk spoke much more fluently and no longer needed to be controlled by strings. However, his words inexplicably carried a sense of vicissitudes, as if they were really a product of three hundred years ago.

"Remember what I told you before," Aesop said to the puppet shop clerk, "as long as you do as I say, there will be no problem."

"Don't worry." The puppet shop clerk put his hands on his hips and said with a hearty laugh, "You've helped me so far, and you still can't handle this last bit. Doesn't that make me look stupid?"

You really don't seem to have any brains.

Although everyone wanted to ask what Aesop had told the puppet clerk, and also wanted to see what the puppet clerk had been transformed into. After all, the previous one could transform, and it was unknown whether this puppet clerk could transform.

But they also feel that if they ask or see it, their three views will definitely be affected again. To be on the safe side, it is better to remain mute.

"This...Miss?" Kelim still didn't know how to address the puppet shop clerk.

"You can call me by my original name, Lisa, or my current name," the puppet shop assistant said. "Decisive Battle Weapon—Magic Destroyer No. 1!"

The corners of Kelim's mouth twitched slightly. Although he could see from the puppet shop clerk's eyes that she liked and yearned for the latter name, Kelim really couldn't call it out.

"Um, Miss Lysa."

Seeing that no one had called her by her new name, Lisa was slightly disappointed, but she nodded anyway. "What's wrong?"

"Working in an antique shop..." Kelimu originally wanted to say directly that he was working in an antique shop, but when he got to the point, he couldn't say it. In the end, he changed his words to a more tactful way, "Working in an antique shop, will I make more money than being a dream girl?"

"Of course not, what are you thinking?" Lisa denied it directly.

"Then why do you still want to work in an antique shop?"

"Because working at the museum is stable," Lisa said, something that Klim couldn't understand at all. "Working in the system is definitely better than being self-employed."

The next day, just after dawn, the nightmare demons who had finished a night's work went out to the street yawning, ready to bask in the sun and go to bed.

Then they saw that the previous puppet dream shop had been emptied out and nothing was left.

"Is it closed down? Why so suddenly?"

"Just like that Flower Demon Tavern, it disappeared suddenly."

"That's strange. I don't know what kind of guests they received."

When did forty-year-old children stop playing with building blocks?

"That's strange, sis." When the sky was just getting light, Shido returned to the food and wine pavilion and saw Zita standing in front of the bulletin board, looking at something. She was a little curious, "Why are you up so early?"

Zita glanced at her and said calmly, "I didn't sleep at all."

"how?"

"You know, my sleep quality has never been very good." Zita sighed and said, "I finally fell asleep last night, and then..."

"Ohhh, I know what you're talking about."

Yesterday's soaring pillar of magical light blinded countless people. I heard that many customers who were sprinting through the Dream Demon Shop were so frightened that Jade Jiaolong's fireballs turned into turtle spit. Some even met a more tragic end. When Zita returned, he saw several people yelling at their brothers on a street corner.

"Cheer up, XX-kun!"

Unfortunately, Mr. XX seemed to be dead and could not raise his head no matter how much we shouted.

"So what happened to you?" Zita asked. "You didn't come back all night."

"Don't mention it!" When Zi Teng said this, she was so angry that her teeth itched. "Yesterday I went to that puppet dream shop and wanted to peek at Aesop..."

"Peeping?!" Zita's eyes widened. "You're a great magician, and you're doing something like peeping?!"

Zi Teng's face flushed slightly. She quickly waved her hands and said, "I'm not peeping, of course I'm not peeping. I'm just... observing."

Zita didn't believe it at all.

"So I climbed up on the roof, lifted a tile and looked down..."

"Aren't you just peeping?!"

Zita was so anxious for her sister. As a great magician, she did such a petty and obscene act. She really didn't know what to say.

"Sister, can you please focus on the important points?"

"Isn't peeping the point? You should know that my family has been full of ladies for generations, and they are role models among the tree demons..."

Zi Teng sneered: "Why didn't I see you say this when little Aesop was playing tricks on you?"

"...But it's understandable that in order to achieve a goal, you might do something that goes against your original intention." Zita sighed, "You better continue."

"Okay." Zi Teng nodded and said, "I climbed onto the roof, lifted a brick, and then... I saw the sun, and then it disappeared."

Zita was slightly stunned and hadn't reacted yet: "Sun? What do you mean?"

"It was the magical beam of light that scared you awake last night." Zi Teng said through gritted teeth, "My experience was even more profound than yours, because that thing almost shot itself on my face!"

After a moment of shock, Zita immediately rushed to Zido and asked anxiously, "Are you okay?!"

"No, luckily I dodged quickly." Zi Teng waved her hand and said, "But I was still knocked unconscious by the aftermath of the magic beam. When I woke up, the Nightmare Shop was gone, and I still didn't know what happened. It's really abominable. What kind of bastard is playing with magic bombs in Nightmare Town? Don't they know that this level of force is not allowed in the town! It almost hurt me. If I knew who dared to sneak up on me, I would just..."

Zita said expressionlessly, "It's Aesop."

"...Let him do it again." Zi Teng was also surprised, "It's Aesop? What's going on?"

Zita sighed, then moved aside to let Shido look at the notice board behind her. "Take a look for yourself. He wrote this down after he came back last night."

Zi Teng immediately leaned over and found a brand new, ridiculously long review guide with ink stains still wet.

"Title: The Magical Puppet Dream Shop (Closed)"

"As the name suggests, this shop is a puppet-themed shop for incubi. As a newly emerging race, incubi don't have a particularly deep historical background... (200 words omitted below)"

"Here, you can relive the exhilarating feeling of puppets roaming the battlefields of three hundred years ago. With the materials provided by the Dream Demon Shop, you can completely recreate the decisive weapon, Armstrong... (200 words omitted below)"

"Regarding the discussion of the surprising nature of the first and second generations of decisive battle weapons, I personally believe that... (1,000 words omitted below)"

"To sum up, the experience of this Dream Demon store is very good. I give it an 8."

After reading it all, Zi Teng felt a little dazed. She turned back to look at her sister Zita and asked, "What is this?"

"A Guide to Dream Demon Evaluation."

"But what about the nightmare?"

Citta pursed his lips and said, "Isn't there a picture?"

Only then did Zi Teng notice that there were pictures on it.

There are many more.

The first picture is the most exquisite. It is a puppet that combines the characteristics of many beauties. Just in terms of appearance, even Zi Teng, a woman, feels moved at first sight.

The following illustrations cannot be described as exquisite, but rather as refined.

The following illustrations were all of the puppet's body, that is, the structure beneath the clothes. Logically, it should be a secluded existence, but Zi Teng saw only various gears, magic cores, and the annotations on them.

"Is this... a nightmare?"

Zi Teng no longer knew what expression to use to describe her feelings at the moment.

"Yes." Zita nodded slightly, "This is Aesop."

"But didn't you say before that his hobby is very down-to-earth?" Zi Teng couldn't accept it. "How could he not love nightmares...love this thing? He went to the puppet shop, and it would be fine if he didn't play with puppets, but he actually...played with puppets?!"

The same three words can have different meanings when spoken in different situations.

"Zitong, I must remind you once more." Zita said to Zitong very seriously, "Aesop is a very dangerous person."

"But you said he was simple."

"But he's too powerful," Zita said. "A person who is so pure that he's a little naive, yet possesses unrivaled power. That's truly dangerous. It's like a child, no matter how innocent and cute, who will casually step on an ant that accidentally gets too close."

Zi Teng nodded slightly: "You are right, I understand."

"In that case..."

"Then I can't let him go." Zi Teng raised her eyebrows, her face becoming even more excited. "Isn't this my chance?"

Zita was a little confused: "What chance?"

"Hey, sister, at first, children all like to play with building blocks, but when did he start to dislike playing with building blocks?" Zi Teng said, "It was when he accidentally saw under big sister's skirt."

"...What's your theory?"

"That's right. Right now, Aesop is as innocent as a child who loves playing with building blocks." Zi Teng said enthusiastically, "So what I have to do is to make him put down the building blocks and play with his big sister... um!"

Zi Teng's face suddenly changed and she was speechless.

"What's wrong?" Zita was shocked.

Zi Teng gritted her teeth and spoke word by word.

"He's fertilizing me again!"

Forty-one wants to try

Stank felt something was wrong.

To be precise, I felt that something was wrong with Zi Teng.

For some unknown reason, Zi Teng suddenly changed out of the green dress she had been wearing for who knows how long. She was now wearing a very short skirt, the kind that allowed her to enjoy the beautiful scenery even when the wind blew through her while she walked.

Stank didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that Zi Teng's walking posture was weird, jumping all over, as if she couldn't wait for everyone in the store to see that beautiful scene.

Because I was confused, I asked directly: "Ziteng, are you planning to be a full-time Dream Girl?"

Just as he finished speaking, Stank was stabbed in the butt by a green vine. The pain made him curl up like a shrimp and scream.

Zi Teng looked at Stank coldly and thought, if Aesop wasn't here, how could you guys see my glory?

Yes, Zi Teng wants to start the story of "a young and ignorant boy accidentally catches a glimpse under the skirt of a pretty older sister and can't forget her" about Aesop.

That's why she deliberately changed into a short skirt, and walked with a spirited look, which Aesop could easily see with just a glance.

However, ever since Aesop woke up and came downstairs to sit here, he has been keeping his head down, and no one knows what he is thinking. He allows Zi Teng to do whatever she wants and remains unmoved. Zi Teng is so angry that she wants to throw her skirt over the head of this unromantic guy and yell, "Show me what color it is!"

But she didn't dare.

Damn it, what on earth is wrong? I clearly feel that this guy doesn't look like a gentleman at all. I almost carved the word "free" on his forehead, but why doesn't he react at all?

Unable to bear it any longer, Zi Teng launched a direct attack on Aesop. She walked to Aesop, leaned down with a smile, and tried to show her other spring scenery in front of Aesop: "Little Aesop, what are you doing?"

Aesop looked up at Zi Teng, then took out a business card from his pocket.

"This was given to me by a merchant some time ago," Aesop said. "He said he opened this Dream Demon Shop, and as a thank you, he said I don't have to pay if I go there."

Zi Teng looked down at the card in Aesop's hand.

This is indeed the business card of a nightmare shop. It features a nightmare girl in very scantily clad clothes, winking at the person outside the card. It can be said to be quite erotic.

But the thing is…I’m no more innocent than she is in my attire. Why are you only looking at the paper figurine above and not the real me?!

Zi Teng was so angry that her teeth were itching. She really wanted Aesop to pay attention to the key points, such as this and that, so she lowered her body again and deliberately breathed into Aesop's ear while talking. As long as Aesop turned his head, she could...

"Then you go."

It was rare to see Aesop showing interest in a place and actively suggesting where he wanted to go, so Stank and Jer immediately came over.

When he heard that he could get it for free, Kolim, who had been a little short of money recently, couldn't help but fly over.

The four of them sat around the table with the small cards, and then ignored Zi Teng who was still paying attention to this and that.

"Oh, this Dream Girl on the cover looks pretty good." Stank said, "It seems to be of high quality."

"Let me see the location... Well, although it's not in this town, it's not far away." Jer said, "If you want to go, you can walk there and back in a day."

"Why not go? What's there to hesitate about?" Stank said again, "Don't we have to pay? What's your relationship with that boss like? Can you take us along for free?"

Aesop pondered for a moment and said, "A life-long friendship."

"really?"

"Yeah, without me, he would be dead."

Stank and Jer: "..."

"But there is a problem." Aesop said slowly, "I was not like this when I rescued him."

Stank was a little confused: "What do you mean it's not like this?"

"It's exactly what I meant. I wasn't what I am now when I saved him." Aesop said, "When I saved him, I was a big muscleman, but not now. I don't know if he will admit it."
