Now looking at this purple glowing object, Jiang Ran was somewhat tempted. He had been stuck at level 50 of the second stage for a long time.

However, the situation this time was different from the last time. Without the ability of the Super-Dimensional Divine Eye to "foresee future death scenes" as a guarantee, Jiang Ran could not rashly challenge the Purple Trial.

If he failed and died in the trial, not only would his parents on Earth be implicated, but his companions in the Prison Star World would also be in trouble.

(I'll try again later when I have 'Confession Points'... or when there's a more suitable time.)

Jiang Ran didn't hesitate and turned around and left decisively.

Before leaving, he left a mark near the entrance of the cave so that he could find the place even if he wanted to come back later.

(I don't know what's going on at Mount Camille, but I hope nothing has happened...)

In fact, Jiang Ran had not been away for very long, but in this situation of being hunted, every "next second of the future" was unpredictable.

·

In the cave of Mount Camille, everyone had started to do nothing except Pride who was still swinging his war hammer.

Once people have free time, their minds tend to wander. Once they wander, they will start to worry whether Feke has failed to infiltrate, whether he has been discovered by the werewolves, or whether he has been torn into pieces by the blood-sucking snake.

Heloise knelt down facing the rock wall very devoutly, and prayed to her evil tiger king god for Pheke's safety.

Shirley saw it and gave a cold and ruthless complaint.

"Why are you worrying so much? We haven't even reached Dris Town yet. We should spend this time thinking about our next plan."

Heloise was interrupted in her prayers and felt dissatisfied, but she was still inferior to Shirley in momentum, so she could only mutter a few words under her breath, and then angrily found a more secluded place to start praying again.

Vanessa couldn't help but sigh when she saw this scene. After all, this little sister Heloise was still too young.

——(When I go to Cuilin City, I’m afraid that Master Feike’s side will become Sister Shirley’s world…)

——(Wow… So there are such dark currents around Long Ying!)

Vanessa comforted herself, thinking that every dragon shadow must be like this, and she shouldn't be too discouraged. After all, you can't become fat in one bite, so just take it slow.

Then at this moment, the crisp sound of stones hitting the rock wall came from the entrance of the cave. Everyone immediately quieted down and listened attentively, and found that the sound was exactly the same as the secret code left by Fei Ke.

——(No way? It’s only been a short while. Did something happen and force him to turn back halfway?)

Vanessa turned towards the entrance, and Heloise, who was extremely concerned about Fig, had already run over.

"It's Fike who's back!"

Heloise's voice echoed in the cave, and everyone walked towards the exit. Then, after seeing the returning Feke, everyone widened their eyes in surprise.

Behind Fei Ke, standing unexpectedly was Tian Ma Sha Sha! And even his black warhorse!

·

Vanessa rubbed her eyes, she suspected she was dreaming.

How could Fei Ke bring Tianma Shasha back in such a short time? The time is not even enough for a one-way trip to Dris Town!

However, Heloise, who was holding Fike's arms and rocking back and forth, was so real that Vanessa knew that what she saw was reality.

"Lord Fike, this is incredible! You truly are the man who can make the impossible possible!"

Then, Pride also walked forward. He first bowed to Fike, and then excitedly hugged Tianma Shasha.

In fact, Pride was always worried about Tianma Shasha, and at one point he thought it might have been killed by the werewolves.

Now that he could see Tenma Sasa again, Pride would have burst into tears if he hadn't wanted to maintain the image of the cavalry regiment.

"Everyone, don't be so surprised. Captain Pride, don't get excited either. I was able to complete the mission and return so quickly thanks to my warhorse, 'Little Motorcycle.'"

Fike moved his black warhorse in front of him and then told the story truthfully about his experience after leaving the cave.

·

Fike had no intention of taking credit for the little motorcycle's achievements. He believed that the little motorcycle deserved everyone's respect.

After listening to Fei Ke's narration, everyone was amazed and marveled at the strength and spirituality of "Xiao Moduo", which was no longer comparable to ordinary war horses.

Vanessa even thought that when Lord Fike succeeded to the throne and became king in the future, he would definitely make "Xhomodo" the national horse. The glorious record of this warhorse must not be humiliated.

After learning the truth, Captain Pride bowed to "Xiao Moduo" sincerely. He said very bluntly that Xiao Moduo was Tianma Shasha's life-saver!

"Xiao Moduo, I was right about you."

"If the management rights of Tianma Shasha were not in my hands, I would really like to allow your marriage right now!"

Captain Pride felt extremely regretful when he recalled his rudeness to Xiao Moduo in the stable.

He now believed that being able to marry Xiao Moduo was Tianma Shasha's blessing, and there was no need to seek the consent of the cavalry regiment.

It is no exaggeration to say that if it were not for Xiao Moduo's strong will, Pride would have almost separated the two horse lovers with his own hands!

However, Xiao Moduo's next move once again surprised Pride, making Pride have a deeper respect for it.

Xiao Moduo first shook his head domineeringly, then raised one of his front legs and showed his horseshoe, as if he wanted to bump fists with Pride.

When Pride saw this, he instantly remembered the agreement between him and Xiao Moduo!

[The above image is taken from Chapter 6.81 - Agreements Between Men]

"Xiao Moduo, do you mean that you should win the approval of the Cavalry Regiment before you can openly marry Shasha?"

Pride's values ​​were reshaped. At this moment, he felt that he was not communicating with a war horse, but talking to a man who stood tall and upright!

Xiao Moduo nodded seriously, as if to say that he saved Tianma Shasha not in exchange for recognition, because this was what he should do. As for the "agreement between men" at the beginning, he would continue to abide by it!

Hundreds of years later, when people talked about the "Legendary Horse King Xiaomoduo", his brave act of keeping his promise and risking life for love was still one of the classic stories that was talked about with relish... But that's another story.

8.24 - Missing and growing up

Fei Ke successfully brought back Tianma Shasha, and everyone was very happy.

But amidst the joy, one person quietly began to feel sad, and that person was Vanessa Snow Deer.

——(Alas… In that case, I can’t escape the fate of flying to Greenwood City alone…)

——(I hope that while I'm away... Master Fike doesn't 'climb the ladder to adulthood'?)

Thinking of this, Vanessa suddenly realized that she had missed a point of concern, that is, is Lord Fike still a virgin or not?

Based on the information that has been observed with the naked eye, Vanessa knows that Lord Fike's first kiss is obviously gone. Then, whether the other kind of "first time" exists or not, there is no way to ask. Does she have to ask Sister Shirley?

Sister Shirley is here, but what Vanessa heard were the words she least wanted to hear.

"Vanessa, there's no time to lose. Just pack your things and get going."

Shirley didn't notice Vanessa's depressed mood. She gave instructions purely from the team's perspective, and these cold words undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to Vanessa.

"okay."

Although Vanessa knew that Sister Shirley didn't mean it, she still felt bad.

In recent times, she has endured too many setbacks, and she has transformed these setbacks into motivation for hard work, strengthening her determination to become the queen in the future, as well as a certain "special wish".

——(Sister Shirley, when the day comes that our statuses are reversed, I will definitely...)

——(I must use my power to order you to be my nude model...)

——(When the time comes, don’t blame me for making you pose in all kinds of embarrassing positions… humph!)

Yes, Vanessa has always had a little-known hobby, which is carving stone statues.

The person she most wanted to carve was Sister Shirley, the Ice Star with her stunning beauty and impressive figure.

·

·

Two hours later, with everyone watching, Vanessa boarded the Pegasus Shasha and took off for the distant Cuilin City.

Pride felt that Vanessa was worthy of being the user of the Deer Spirit. She had mastered the skills of controlling the Pegasus in such a short time. She could truly be called a genius.

Ice Star Shirley asked how many days it would take to reach Cuilin City by riding a Pegasus. Pride calculated based on his previous experience and thought it would only take about five days, which was ten days faster than riding a horse on land.

"Is that so... That's still not very optimistic."

Shirley's words expressed everyone's thoughts: time is their most scarce resource now.

Even if the reinforcements from the Green Lizard Family of Cuilin City could arrive in Dris Town in half a month, it would be a long time later.

It was really difficult to keep hiding without being discovered by the werewolves during this half month.

"I have an idea, but I don't know if it's feasible."

At this time, Branch Chief Pame came up with an idea. She pointed out that they could start from Mount Kamil and take a detour to Sunny Town to seek reinforcements. She also knew Oleg, the branch chief of the Sunny Town Mission Union, as an old acquaintance and they should be easy to talk to.

After listening to this, some people agreed, while others frowned.

Shirley used a branch to draw a simple map on the sand, and then pointed out the risks of this plan.

"If we take a detour, we will have to cross the big river on the Pasa Plain. If we are discovered by the werewolves nearby, we will have no way to escape."

Everyone was amazed to see that Shirley could draw a map so accurately. She was not just a court magician, she was actually a geographer.

Then, regarding Branch Chief Pam's idea, everyone felt that it could be discussed further, because if the risk points raised by Shirley could be resolved, then this would undoubtedly be a brilliant strategy that could launch a Jedi counterattack.

Jiang Ran stood aside and did not express his opinion for the time being. He was wondering whether he should tell the story of the Sunny Town Mission Union.

·

Jiang Ran remembered clearly that Branch Chief Pame and Branch Chief Oleg were old lovers.

[img=700,423]https://rss.sfacg.com/web/novel/images/UploadPic/2023/02/2e9c6cb4-98bd-49d6-a4e7-ad3e749707ff.jpg[/img]

[The above text and images are taken from Chapter 6.57 - Mission Guild in Dris Town]

The fact that Branch Chief Pame was able to come up with this route plan is somewhat related to this old relationship.

However, Branch Chief Pame did not know that the Sunny Town Task Union had just suffered a heavy blow about a month ago, and most of the reward hunters who could still participate in the battle were at the early to middle stage of the second rank and were not up to the task.

As for the town guards of Sunny Town, they are not much different from the reward hunters. It is really hard to expect them to fight against the powerful werewolves.

Thinking of this, the face of the blonde fox girl in the Sunny Town Mission Guild quietly appeared in Jiang Ran's mind.

(It’s been so long since we last met, I don’t know how Emilia is doing now.)

·

In the mission guild of Sunny Town, a blonde fox girl who was giving the final instruction to her juniors suddenly sneezed.

"Sister Emilia, is someone missing you, hehe."

The new receptionist teased Emilia with a smile, and Emilia gently tapped the girl's head, telling her not to talk nonsense and to concentrate on taking note of her instructions.

However, what this junior said actually touched Emilia's heart.

It has been 23 days since "that person" left Sunny Town. I wonder if his maze expedition went smoothly... The feeling of missing him once again ripples in Emilia's heart.

Ever since Banning was summoned to join the maze subjugation team, Emilia has had some strange hallucinations from time to time, such as hearing Banning calling her from behind, or seeing the phantom of Banning walking into the door of the quest guild.

If you miss someone so much that it becomes a disease, you won’t be able to bear it for a long time.

So, Emilia turned her longing into motivation, made a final decision, and said goodbye to her weak self over the years.

During these 23 days, Emilia realized her wish and persuaded Branch Minister Oleg to let two or three outstanding Asians work in the task union first, so as to gradually improve the employment and living problems in the Asian slums.

Then, she mustered up the courage to challenge the first level of difficulty, the White Trial. After several dangerous situations, she finally successfully advanced from a "beginner magician" to an "intermediate magician", breaking through the bottleneck of her combat career that had lasted for many years.

After successfully advancing, Emilia was completely refreshed. She regained her confidence as a combat professional, and then expressed to Branch Chief Oleg her desire to quit her job and go to Dris Town to meet up with Banning.

Branch Chief Oleg has always treated Emilia like his own granddaughter. He is so happy to see this child walk out of the shadow of the past that he cannot contain his joy. How could he possibly object?

On the contrary, Emilia, who has a strong sense of responsibility, volunteered to stay in the task union for a few more days, and she would officially resign after training the younger generation to be able to stand on their own.

Before she knew it, time had passed quickly, and today was Emilia's last day working at the Sunny Town Mission Union.

The feeling of reluctance finally made the eyes of this usually expressionless fox girl tear up.
