"I'll be looking forward to hearing from you, Viviana."
Listening to Banning's simple answer and looking at the innocent smile on his face, Viviana couldn't help but relax as well.
——(Yeah, it’s just a cat’s eye, why should I be so nervous…)
·
The so-called cat's eye refers to a special kind of magic crystal. They don't contain much magic, but they have a very special magic wavelength, which can allow the emitted magic to spread to very far places.
After the user injects magic power into the cat's eye stone, the magic wavelength of the cat's eye stone will become unique, becoming the user's exclusive cat's eye stone.
Steel-feathered owls are a type of domesticated avian monster. Not only can they fly day and night, but they can also remember and sense the magical wavelengths emitted by cat's eyes, making them a common communication tool used by the royal family, nobles, the military, and other upper-class people.
[Note: The above settings can be found in chapter 6.52 - People in the Moonlight]
As an adolescent girl, Viviana's act of giving her cat's eye to Banning is actually somewhat ambiguous in the Prison Star world.
To put it simply, if this behavior were to happen in the Earth world, it would be equivalent to Viviana taking the initiative to give her WeChat account to Banning.
When a girl takes the initiative to give her WeChat account to a boy, what it means is self-evident.
Unfortunately, perhaps because Banning came from a small village, he didn't know the meaning of this behavior, and Viviana was already shy, so it was impossible for her to break the last layer of window paper herself, so she could only comfort herself by saying that it was just a cat's eye stone.
But, does Banning really not know?
He can use mind reading, so even if he didn't know it before, he knows it now.
But he said nothing, because he judged that it was not the time yet.
Just as Viviana regained her composure upon remembering her father's predicament, deep in the boy's heart, he never forgot his "real purpose" for coming to this Prison Star World.
9.134 - Unavailable Help
After drinking black tea and eating snacks, Jiang Ran said goodbye to Viviana and left the Feiqi family manor.
He could see that Viviana was reluctant to leave him, but as mentioned before, now was not the time to relax.
After returning to a state of freedom of movement, Jiang Ran temporarily assigned himself a new task.
He first went to the shopping street to buy parchment and other materials, and then relied on his memory and the "map function" of the super-dimensional divine eye to draw the location where the "Pigeon Blood Red Stone Feilia" was buried in the Ella Forest on the parchment, which was equivalent to making a "treasure map" by himself.
[Note: Ella Forest is located near Ella Village and Luka Village. For details, please refer to the "Shadou Canyon Chapter"]
·
Looking back at his decision in Ella Forest, Jiang Ran still feels that his judgment was correct.
The identification information of "Pigeon Blood Red Stone·Filia" clearly states that it is "a stone that brings hope and invites disaster."
Judging from Jiang Ran's own experience, he has been unlucky ever since he got the "Pigeon Blood Red Stone" from the bandit leader Wolf, which accurately verified the description of "the stone that brings disaster". That's why he chose to hide the "Pigeon Blood Red Stone·Filia" in the tree hole of a century-old tree.
[Note: For details of this plot, please refer to Chapter 3.4 - Two Letters]
But now it seems that if Jiang Ran had continued to carry the "Pigeon Blood Red Stone" with him, he would undoubtedly have been in great danger of death.
To this day, the presence of this matter is actually very weak. So why did Jiang Ran suddenly have a change of heart and want to return the pigeon blood red stone?
The answer to this question lies in Viviana's psychological activities that Jiang Ran saw just now in the lounge of the Feiqi family.
Jiang Ran originally thought that Viviana would seek help from him, but he didn't expect that after experiencing some inner struggle, she actually chose to be self-reliant, which made Jiang Ran feel very guilty.
After all, the fact that Lord Feiqi is now trapped in the territory of the werewolf royal family is somewhat related to Jiang Ran.
Since there was no way to help Viviana openly, Jiang Ran could only think of a solution secretly. The solution he thought of was to make a treasure map and put it in the ruins of the Wakeno volcano to help the Feiqi family find the pigeon blood red stone as soon as possible.
·
Normally, Jiang Ran's approach is no different from taking a chance, but Jiang Ran's current situation is rather special, because he had just told the two elders of the Feiqi family that the "Snake Shadow Society has evacuated the Wakeno Volcano Ruins" this morning.
Under such circumstances, the Feiqi family will definitely send people to the Wacono volcano ruins to confirm in the near future. In this way, Jiang Ran will have a way to set up a realistic scene for them to accidentally discover this carefully crafted "treasure map".
As long as he has this "treasure map", Jiang Ran believes that the pigeon blood red stone will soon return to Viviana's hands.
With the pigeon blood red stone, with the strength of Viviana who has now been promoted to the fifth level, plus the masters of the Feiqi family, it will not be difficult to rescue Lord Feiqi.
Moreover, in fact, in Jiang Ran's opinion, the werewolf royal family should not make things too difficult for the Feiqi family.
Because in essence, there was no real conflict between the two of them. It was only because Lord Scarlet appeared in the territory of the werewolf royal family at an inappropriate time that the situation evolved into what it is now.
Once Viviana and the others arrive at the werewolf territory, as long as both sides give the other a way out, the matter will most likely end peacefully.
·
"Okay, that's almost it."
Jiang Ran checked the treasure map he had drawn several times over and over again. After confirming that it was correct, he quickly took it to the Wakeno volcano ruins and completed the final arrangement.
Another thing that must be mentioned is that Jiang Ran took the opportunity to return the property to its original owner to put the blame for the theft of the Pigeon Blood Red Stone Society on the Snake Shadow Society.
When the people of Feiqi family find the treasure map, they will never think that it was a carefully planned show by Jiang Ran. They will only think that the people of Snake Shadow Society stole the pigeon blood red stone and hid it, and then left the treasure map for them to find it later.
In this way, the whole thing formed a perfect closed loop, a closed loop that the Feiqi family would never suspect Jiang Ran of.
As for how Viviana's fate will change after she regains the pigeon blood red stone, Jiang Ran will keep an eye on it.
If one day in the future, Viviana needs Jiang Ran's help, he will definitely lend a helping hand, because at that time in Shadou Canyon, if Viviana had not come to the rescue, the grass on Jiang Ran's grave would be three feet high now.
(The 'Son of God' who can bring the former 'Elder' back to the world again... Then, what will happen to Viviana herself?)
Jiang Ran sighed lightly and put aside the thought that had no possibility of coming to any conclusion at the moment.
The most important thing for him right now is to complete the "upgrade" of his own combat system as soon as possible so as to deal with the curse placed on him by those damn werewolf ancestors.

After returning to Yanji City, Jiang Ran took a walk around the streets where many equipment shops were located.
Although Xiao Moto is not with him at the moment, Jiang Ran still remembers to update Xiao Moto's equipment.
Unfortunately, however, Xiao Moto is now more of a warhorse-like monster than a warhorse. Whether in size, physical ability or other aspects, it is far beyond the conventional sense of warhorse, so the ready-made equipment in the equipment store is not suitable to be bought directly for Xiao Moto to use.
If you really want to create a set of special equipment that makes Xiao Moto comfortable to wear and improves his strength, you have to wait until you meet up with Xiao Moto and then find a craftsman to tailor it for him.
(Little Motorcycle, where have you been...?)
Looking at the hustle and bustle of traffic around him, Jiang Ran felt a little lonely.
With his current strength, he actually doesn't need Xiao Moto anymore, but this good partner who has been with him all the way is not only valuable for helping in battle.
Jiang Ran now just hopes that everything is fine with the little motorcycle, and if possible, Jiang Ran very much hopes to see it again.
·
Missing someone is just missing them, but the adventure must continue.
Jiang Ran collected his thoughts and began to prepare for his next trip to Sunny Town.
It would take about two or three days before Viviana and the others set off for the werewolf royal territory.
While Viviana and the others were reorganizing the team, Jiang Ran, in addition to going to Viviana to compete and spar every day, would use the rest of his time to deal with equipment crafting and upgrading, as well as continuing to improve and enhance his "new combat system."
In addition, Jiang Ran also wants to find time to visit the underground palace of the Wakeno volcano ruins.
He left in a hurry last time and didn't have time to ask Tiedan about the "Magic Secret Sword: Flame Horse", but this doesn't mean that Jiang Ran doesn't take this matter seriously.
In fact, it was quite the opposite. Jiang Ran was determined to find out the story of the "Magic Secret Sword: Flame Horse" even if he had to make a special trip. He believed that behind this magic sword, there must be a lot of information about the demons.

The Farnas Empire, the territory of the cat people, the main city is Kaicheng.
The cat-man lord Lordesin with golden hair is currently meeting alone with the leader of the cat-man guard, Krokosin.
Although the golden-haired Lord Lordesin is already in his forties or fifties, he looks quite young when standing next to the seventy-year-old white-bearded Krokosin.
These two big men who hold a pivotal position in the cat-people tribe, met this time for no other reason than the previous matter of the "Messenger of the Underworld".
The "Secret Cat Ninja Unit - Cicada" sent back news this morning, reporting that the population of "Calamity Horned Vipers" has shown unusual movements and is heading towards the territory of the Green Lizard Family in the Kingdom of West.
According to another earlier report from "Cicada", the current location of the "Messenger of the Underworld" is very likely between the territories of the Bilisha Family and the Feiqi Family in the Kingdom of West.
...In other words, the population of horned vipers seems to be chasing the messenger of the underworld.
·
If other people were to analyze the current situation, they would definitely not think that the horned adders were really hunting down the messenger of the underworld. After all, even if the horned adders had the strength of the fourth level, it would be impossible for them to carry out such an ultra-long-distance operation in an organized and disciplined manner.
However, the cat people believe that the horned adder has this ability, because no one knows the horned adder better than the cat people.
The horned adder has always been the number one enemy of the cat people. The cat people have spent a lot of time studying the ecology of the horned adder. Among the many results of their research, there is a lot of evidence that the horned adder is a very vengeful species.
They will not only remember the enemies who have hurt them, but also remember the enemies who have hurt other members of the tribe.
The messenger from the underworld who had killed the horned viper near the cat-people's territory not long ago is likely to have been targeted by them now.
"Krokosin...you just said that even the 'Snake King' of the Causing Horned Viper species has been dispatched, meow?" the cat-man lord Lordesin asked solemnly.
"Yeah, the information sent back by 'Cicada' shouldn't be wrong, nya."
Captain Krokosin nodded heavily, his hands trembling slightly when he thought of the appearance of the "Snake King".
When Captain Krokosin was young, he once fought with the Cat Guard against the Snake King of the Calamity Horned Viper.
At that time, Krokosin was just a little-known cat-man warrior, and had not yet earned the nickname "Krokosin of Tornado's Two-Sword Style". However, in that battle, he witnessed for the first time what true strength was.
The king of the horned viper species is called the King Viper of Disaster by the cat people, or simply the King Viper of Disaster.
The Disaster King Snake is not as fancy as other multi-headed snake monsters. Even though it has the strength of level five, it only has one head.
However, in this only head, there is the wisdom to command a group of snakes and extraordinary fighting ability.
There are three main characteristics of the Disaster King Snake:
The first is his superb underground stealth ability. This guy can use his iron-like body to travel dozens of meters underground unhindered, and his speed is no less than that of an ordinary horse.
The second is its enormous carrying capacity. Not only can it temporarily house a group of snakes in its stomach, but it can also eject the snakes in its stomach from its mouth like cannonballs.
The last characteristic is its extraordinary hearing. Even when it is lurking dozens of meters underground, the Disaster King Snake is able to understand the situation on the ground and judge the time and place to move out based on the actual situation.
Of course, the Calamity King Snake's own combat capabilities are also extremely strong, but due to the shining of the above three characteristics, it usually has no need to participate in the battle.
Captain Krokosin still clearly remembers that after the Calamity King Snake broke into the battlefield area, the battle situation became one-sided.
The cat people have no means to deal with the Calamity King Snake hiding dozens of meters underground, but the Calamity King Snake can weaken the cat people's vitality by constantly fighting guerrilla warfare.
In that battle, the still inexperienced Captain Krokosin managed to strike the body of the Calamity King Snake only once, but under the protection of its steel-hard scales, Captain Krokosin not only failed to break the armor, but was also shocked so much that his hands became numb and he lost his combat capability for a time.
At the end of the battle, the cat people suffered heavy losses and had no choice but to choose a strategic retreat, temporarily giving up the attack on the population of disaster horned vipers.
This retreat lasted for forty or fifty years, and even now Krokosin has become the leader of the Cat Guard, and the cat people have no ability to organize themselves again to launch another attack.
·
"Krocausin, what do you think about this matter, meow?"
After a few minutes of silence, Lord Dexin, the Catman Lord, asked Krokosin for advice.
Krokosin replied that with the capabilities of the Cat Guard, it would be impossible to find the Calamity King Snake operating underground.
Even the 'Cicada Holder', which the ten elders were so proud of, could only speculate on the movements of the Disaster King Snake through some clues.
Therefore, no matter where the Disaster King Snake wants to take its tribe, it is not something that the cat people can control.
However, if luck is on the side of the cat people, and the King Snake of Disaster really leads his tribe to seek revenge on the messenger of the underworld, then the cat people will really be hit by great luck.
"If the Disaster King Snake leads his group of snakes to fight against the Hades Messenger, not only can we get rid of this scourge with the help of the Hades Messenger, but we also have the opportunity to take advantage of the Hades Messenger's strength. It's really killing two birds with one stone!" Captain Krokosin said excitedly.
Then, Captain Krokosin continued to add that the urgent problem that their cat people now need to solve is to keep a close eye on the movements of the Disaster King Snake and not miss the exciting battle between this guy and the messenger of the underworld.
