The reason the white wolf easily conquered this place was due to the Black Flame Snake's withdrawal of their forces. And the reason why the blue demon and gray wolves had been helpless against this location, only able to attack the village, was because it was heavily guarded by a large number of Black Flame Snake soldiers. So, why did the Black Flame Snake retreat?
There seemed to be only one reason—
That the Black Flame Snake had achieved their goal, and the magic circle had already served its intended purpose!
After circling around a workshop-like building on the second floor and still finding nothing, Mengdie felt disheartened and was about to leave. Just then, her gaze casually swept over the wall, and a large section of text suddenly caught her eye!
"What does this say?"
Mengdie hurriedly approached to decipher it. Unfortunately, after staring blankly at it for a minute and reading it three times from start to finish, she finally concluded—
She couldn't understand it...
"Whimper..." Her tail drooped in disappointment, and her ears hung down, appearing listless. She turned her head and gently nudged Nia, who had been quietly holding onto her sleeve: "Nia, come, can you tell me what this says?"
Unfortunately, little Nia was clearly terrified by the horrifying scene here. She kept her eyes closed, clinging tightly to Mengdie's clothes. It seemed impossible to even get her to glance at the text, let alone speak.
Mengdie's brows furrowed, and after whimpering softly, a flush of embarrassment colored her cheeks. She turned to look at the white wolf sitting beside her.
"Can... can you understand it?"
The white wolf approached, glanced over it, and nodded at Mengdie.
"Great! So, what does it say?" Mengdie's tail wagged happily.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.
However, in contrast to Mengdie, the white wolf just sat beside her, frowning and "whimpering" at her...
Oh no, the language barrier! Such an important clue right in front of her! She decided, after retrieving the King's Cup and rescuing Aya, she would have nothing else to do. She must learn the language and script of this world thoroughly!
Just as Mengdie was overwhelmed with frustration, the white wolf suddenly stood up. At the same time, Mengdie's ears twitched; they both heard many footsteps. Undoubtedly, it must be Edward and the others.
After a long journey, Edward, Xiu, Father Kotton, and numerous gray wolves finally arrived at the clearing. All three were stunned by the scene before them. Mengdie, with a troubled-looking Nia, came out of the building, briefly shared her deductions, and then grabbed Xiu and Edward's hands, urging them to go upstairs to decipher the text.
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't rush, Miss Mengdie! We... we just got here, and these wolves run really fast, I'm out of breath! Let me rest, rest for a bit first!"
Xiu leaned on his staff, his legs wobbly. He looked like he was about to collapse, drenched in sweat.
"And besides, look at this magic circle! Although from a scientist's perspective, I'm not very fond of it. But to be honest, it's really interesting, with many mysteries inside. I want to study it in detail, so I'll pass on going with you."
Xiu chuckled, standing in the magic circle with his staff. His expression was like a gourmet facing a delicious meal, so obviously, he wouldn't be joining her in translating.
"So, Father Kotton..." Mengdie let go of Xiu's hand and was about to grab Father Kotton.
Father Kotton shook his head and walked to Nia, conjuring a gentle shield-like magic circle and gently patted it on Nia's forehead. The next moment, the little girl, who had been tightly holding Mengdie's hand, suddenly loosened her grip and fell backward as if asleep.
"Nia?!"
"Hehe, don't worry, Miss Mengdie." Father Kotton extended his hand to catch Nia, "This scene is too stimulating for a little girl, and if not handled well, it might cause psychological shadows in her future life. My divine magic will cause her to lose a short segment of her memory. When she wakes up, she'll think nothing happened. But before that, I think I'll stay here with this little girl for a while."
Mengdie nodded, not objecting. Finally, she turned her gaze to Edward.
"So, can you accompany me inside? Or do you refuse?"
Mengdie's request, of course, was accompanied by Edward! Sure enough, the prince readily agreed...
※※※
"The final... judgment... is about to... begin..."
Arriving at the wall with text on the second floor, Edward began reading the words under Mengdie's direction. But the text was somewhat blurry, making it quite difficult to read.
"The ancient... seal... will be released..."
"We... are about to... be reborn. What is this, all jumbled up?"
Faced with Edward's confusion, Mengdie was also at a loss. Her tail gently swayed, and after thinking for a while, she sighed.
"Forget it, it's no use thinking anymore. It's true that there's no information about the King's Cup here."
At this thought, Mengdie couldn't help but sigh in disappointment, her tail drooping weakly. Seeing this scene, Edward's face visibly reddened, and then, hesitantly, he reached out to pat Mengdie's shoulder...
"Yes... yes! The King's Cup can't be found... Haha, hahaha..."
Whether it was the prince's awkward laughter that irritated Mengdie or not, she hummed and stepped aside, conveniently avoiding Edward's attempt to pat her shoulder. Edward, missing his chance, immediately looked very embarrassed. Mengdie, however, seemed somewhat annoyed as she looked at him, discontentedly saying, "Yes, yes, you're not in a hurry. You're not in a hurry, but I am! I really want to return the King's Cup to your dad immediately, so I can rescue Aya! Then, I can explore this world in peace and quiet! Not troubled like now."
