Time flew by.
Seven days after the second meeting between Dean and Aisha, the commercial district was full of cheers. All the residents who had moved to the inner wall moved back to their ancestral land near the golden wall. The property prices soared sharply. The consortiums who had seized the real estate in the area in advance were able to reap a large amount of income.
The war that lasted for more than a month finally came to an end.
The military had won a complete victory.
The barbarians couldn't bear the losses after defending the Red Maple Mountains for a week under the bombardment of steam guns and cannons. They had to retreat to the radiation zone outside the fortress.
The war wasn't over yet. The military was still chasing after the barbarians.
This whirlwind of popularity completely made people forget about a certain genius mage who had occupied the headlines every day not long ago.
"I underestimated you for seven days …" Dean drank milk as he read the newspaper: "Nine barbarians were killed and eleven were captured. Half of the heirs of the old chief have been wiped out. Ivette, it's up to your ability to stand out from the rest."
He gently closed the newspaper, pondered for a moment, and then asked Hawkeye: "Go and check the plan of the military to pursue the barbarians."
"Yes." Hawkeye felt strange in his heart. The last time Dean asked him about the plan to attack the barbarians, he felt that there was something fishy about it. Was the elder colluding with the barbarians?
Hawkeye's expression remained respectful as he turned away.
"Heavy snow is coming …" Dean gently tapped the table. The temperature was extremely low during the black snow season. He didn't know if Nicotine had taken good care of the poisonous plants. He had given Nicotine some other plants that had addictive toxins. The shortest growth cycle was two months and the longer one was half a year. There were a few poisonous plants that needed two or three years to grow.
He didn't let Nicotine plant those plants as the effect was too slow. The pattern of the giant wall would change after two or three years.
Dean slowly got up and returned to his alchemy room. He continued to make new inventions.
In the blink of an eye, it was time to meet Aisha again.
Dean put on a set of light clothes and put on a dagger. He quietly sneaked out of the commercial district and arrived at the appointed place on the giant wall.
This time, he didn't hunt monsters nearby. Instead, he waited quietly to conserve his energy. He also didn't want her to notice him while he was hunting monsters.
It didn't take long for Aisha to arrive.
She was still wearing a green dress. Her feet were wearing dark silver metal heels. She was dressed like a lady. It seemed that she was attending a banquet. In the wilderness outside the giant wall, if not for the putrid smell of blood that floated in the air from time to time, and the surrounding deep green grass, there would be a bit of an idyllic date.
It was just that the previous incident had made him a little wary.
At the beginning he had lured the monster to attack Aisha. Although Aisha acted in time and rushed over as soon as the monster appeared, it warmed his heart. But then he suddenly realized one thing – the smell!
He had used his thermal vision to observe her, not his sense of smell!
Moreover, when she had rushed over, the scent on her body had completely disappeared, proving that she had deliberately concealed her scent to follow him!
It was this point that made him suspicious. If she was really worried about his safety, why would she hide her scent and secretly follow him? Was it because she didn't want him to notice?
After experiencing so many things, Dean was keenly aware that it wasn't simple. Although he hadn't thought of the reason why Aisha did this, but his previous state of hot-headedness had sobered up. If he was really sensitive then it wouldn't be too late to apologize to her after the new invention was born. But if his intuition was true then there was a scary reason behind it.
He didn't dare to relax because he had no one else to rely on. He must not fall again!
"I let you arrive early again." Aisha smiled as she looked at Dean. Her eyes were pure and there was no trace of impurities. The perfume on her body seemed to have changed. It was more fragrant like the natural fragrance of green grass. Dean smelled the faint fragrance of a girl.
Dean smelled the faint fragrance of the girl's body. Frankly speaking, it was very nice. He took a breath and thought of some of the habits of aristocratic ladies. Most of the aristocratic ladies would prepare several different kinds of perfume for different occasions. There were even some picky ladies who would prepare several different kinds of perfume for different banquets. Obviously, Aisha in front of him also had such a hobby.
But he still remembered the last time when she covered up the scent. He deeply looked at her: "It's nothing. I have plenty of time anyway."
"You have a good temper." Aisha smiled.
Dean indifferently smiled: "You are the first person to say that."
Aisha chuckled: "So you usually have a bad temper?"
"Just so-so." Dean's eyes swept to the package in her hand: "Did you bring God's marrows again?"
Aisha handed him the bag: "Did you absorb the god's marrow last time? How was it? Was the effect good?"
Dean smiled as he thought about the feather that was injected with God's marrows: "The effect is very good. I can see the effect on the spot."
"Of course." Aisha laughed: "The effect of God's marrows is dozens of times better than God's blessing for senior hunters. You should be able to reach the limit of senior hunters after taking this God's marrows! Do you have rare Parasitic Soul Worms in your hands? The third evolution of magic marks requires rare Parasitic Soul Worms. The effect of ordinary Parasitic Soul Worms is negligible. "
Dean was aware of this last time when he evolved into a senior hunter. The effect of the rare Parasitic Soul Worm was much stronger than ordinary Parasitic Soul Worm. Seeing her mention it, he immediately seized the opportunity and asked: "Why? They are all Parasitic Soul Worms. Why is there such a big difference? "
Aisha nodded and said: "Although they are all parasitic soul worms, but the difference is very big, so there will be different ratings. By the way, this rating is not calculated according to the effect of the parasitic soul worm's magic marks, but according to their own parasitic soul worm system. Just like us humans, there is a distinction between nobles and untouchables. There is a huge difference in temperament and appearance between untouchables and nobles. In the system of parasitic soul worms, ordinary parasitic soul worms are usually scared to move when they see rare parasitic soul worms."
"Is there such a thing?" Dean was surprised. It was the first time he had heard of this. Parasitic Soul Worm system? Does it mean that these Parasitic Soul Worms have a pyramid system similar to human society? High and low levels?
Aisha saw Dean's surprised look and laughed: "Of course, Parasitic Soul Worms should also be regarded as a kind of life. Just like the monsters, the powerful lords of the monsters will make other monsters surrender. The same is true for us humans. The peasants are loyal to the aristocrats. The same is true for Parasitic Soul Worms. The ordinary ones are in awe of the rare ones. The rare ones are in awe of the legendary ones!"
Dean was startled. He thought that all the life in the universe seemed to have a pyramid system. There was no such thing as "peace and equality".
"Here, this is for you." Aisha magically pulled out a scroll like object from her back. The smile on her face disappeared as she said: "This is the Dragon clan's fighting technique. It has been modified by my great-grandfather and grandfather for generations. It can be regarded as one of the most perfect fighting techniques of the Dragon clan. It is even more perfect than the strongest fighting technique of the inner wall military region, military boxing!"
