"My head feels like it's going to explode."
Asya sighed as she lay on the bed and looked at the night sky outside the window.
"I didn't expect the world to be so big …"
"Yeah …"
Neferine nodded silently when she heard Asya's sigh.
"But … but there's no evidence to prove it. Maybe he's just saying it casually. But no matter what, how can the world be so big?"
Codori still couldn't accept it. Her concept of the world was only limited to the floating island and the land. But now, after knowing that the world she was in was only the most inconspicuous grain of sand in the desert, Codori was obviously panicking.
"You just have to think of them as floating islands that are hundreds of times bigger, right?"
Although she also knew that her world was a sphere, Asya didn't wonder why they didn't fall like the Dwarves and Elves. After all, compared to them, Asya and the other Fairies had always lived on floating islands. For them, floating in the air was nothing new. It could even be said to be a daily occurrence. Because of that, they quickly accepted the concept. They just had to think of the planet they lived on as a super large circular floating island.
That was why the living environment affected the acceptance of a concept.
"The future … To be honest, I've never thought about it …"
Asya hugged her head with both hands and stared at the ceiling. The fate of the Gold Fairies was to fight and then die. Even survival was an extravagant hope for them, let alone a future.
But now, they seemed to have a new choice.
"…"
Codori was silent as well. She had never thought about it.
But now, perhaps she had to consider it.
While Codori and the others were thinking about their future, on Floating Island No. 2, the Great Sage was listening to the report from the Lizard Officer with a solemn expression.
"You're saying that the man gave the Fairy soldiers a very strange but powerful weapon?"
"Yes, Great Sage. This weapon is very similar to our guns and cannons, but it's a thousand times more powerful! Over two hundred of the Sixth Beasts were annihilated in less than half an hour under the bombardment of these weapons!! "
The Lizard Officer's tone was filled with excitement. Although it didn't really understand the principles behind these weapons, after asking Codori and the others, it had a certain degree of understanding. It was powerful and easy to use. More importantly, unlike the relic weapons, this weapon seemed to be usable by anyone!
He could imagine that once this weapon was spread, the beasts would no longer be a threat! They could easily protect the floating island!
"Then, where are the weapons?"
"Sorry … it was taken back by that man."
This made the Lizard officer feel helpless. He wanted to ask Codori and the others for a closer look, but he was told that after the battle, Fangzheng had retrieved the weapons and said that he would use them in the next battle.
It was obvious that the other party had no intention of showing the weapon to them.
"…"
Hearing until here, Sage fell into silence.
A mysterious weapon of unknown origin, a man who claimed to be human … All of this made Sage feel as if it was beyond her imagination. He originally thought that the man might be like him, a survivor of his previous world. But now, Sage no longer thought so. Because there were no such weapons in his era. If there really were such weapons, humans wouldn't need to create holy swords and train heroes.
Who was that man?
"Great Sage, what should we do?"
"… Let me think about it."
This time, Sage did not answer immediately. He had a feeling that this matter … was far more complicated than he thought.
The next morning, when the three dragged their exhausted bodies to the deck, the first thing they saw was Fangzheng drinking coffee on the deck.
"Yo, looks like you didn't sleep well."
Fangzheng waved his hand at the three. Hearing Fangzheng's teasing, Codori snorted and turned her head away.
"How can I sleep after listening to what you said, bro?"
Asya, on the other hand, was still grinning.
"But bro, do you really think we can completely eliminate those beasts? There are thousands of beasts in this world, but there are only me, Codori, Neferine, and two others who aren't here. But there are only five Fairy soldiers in total. Can we really eliminate so many beasts? "
"Indeed, it's not enough to rely on you."
Fangzheng nodded.
"But I have a fleet. As long as I rely on their power, a mere tens of thousands of beasts will be a piece of cake."
"Fleet? Where are they? "
"They're not here right now. When I'm done with the matter at hand, I'll call them over."
"Is the matter you want to solve related to the Astral Gods?"
At this moment, Neferine, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke up. Fangzheng nodded in response.
"That's right. The Astral Gods are the reason I came to your world. Unfortunately, it seems that it will take some time to find the Astral Gods."
"Then what are we waiting for? If there are any clues, we'll come and help."
Asya was also excited when she heard his explanation.
"Let's get rid of that thing called the Astral Gods as soon as possible. Then you can call the fleet to eliminate those damn monsters!"
"Of course, if there's anything I can help with …"
But at that moment, Fangzheng suddenly stopped. He narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance. Seeing Fangzheng's reaction, the three Gold Fairies turned their heads in confusion and followed Fangzheng's gaze. Only then did they realize that Fangzheng was looking at a floating island not far away.
"What's that place?"
"Over there? That's the Kingdom of Elspeth, a country with bad intentions. "
Asya pursed her lips and replied to Fangzheng's question. She obviously didn't like that country.
"Send the airship over there."
Fangzheng immediately gave the order, but when the three girls heard his words, they looked at each other.
"Over there? But the Wing Guards don't interfere with the internal affairs of other countries, and the place isn't invaded by beasts … "
"So in short, it's not possible?"
"Well … I don't think so …"
Kedori bit the bullet and replied, while Fangzheng nodded his head.
"Okay, I understand. I'll be back soon."
With that said, Fangzheng's figure flashed. The next moment, he flew into the sky and headed for the floating island.
Seeing this scene, the three girls couldn't help but widen their eyes in surprise.
"Why is he going to Elspeth?"
Asya asked doubtfully. Codori shook her head. But before she could say anything, a pair of colorful wings suddenly appeared behind Nefrain, who had been silent all this time. Without saying a word, she flew into the sky and chased after Fangzheng.
"Wait, Nefrain, I'm going too!"
Asya shouted and hurriedly followed after Nefrain, leaving Codori standing there dumbfounded.
"Wait, what are you going to do? It's illegal to go to another country without notifying us … Sigh! "
But before Codori could finish her sentence, Nefrain and Asya had already flown far away. Codori stomped her feet angrily, then spread her wings and hurriedly chased after them.
The scene in front of him flashed by.
Fangzheng didn't care about the town below him. All he heard was the voice that rang in his ears. He continued flying forward until he arrived in front of a castle.
"That's the capital of Elspeth. What's he doing there?"
Seeing the scene from afar, Asya widened her eyes in astonishment. But the next moment, Fangzheng's actions left her dumbfounded. She saw Fangzheng charge down and smash a huge hole in the castle in front of her!
"Oh my god, what's he thinking?"
Seeing this scene, both Asya and Neferine were stunned. But soon, she flapped her wings again and flew forward.
Boom!!
The castle was obviously not strong enough to withstand Fangzheng's impact. He directly smashed through the walls and the floor. When Fangzheng landed on the ground again, he was already in a dark basement. The place was filled with dim firelight and some strange-looking instruments. It looked like an alchemy workshop. At the side, a group of pig-headed people in white coats turned around in surprise and looked at the uninvited guests in front of them.
"Who are you?"
"Why did you break into this place?"
The pig heads shouted angrily. However, Fangzheng did not answer their questions. He only looked at the wall in front of him. There, he saw a few girls tied up by chains. Their bodies were pierced with what looked like test tubes. Blood and magic slowly flowed out, and they were bound by pitch-black iron.
Fangzheng wasn't surprised at this scene. The people in the Dark World had done similar things, so it wasn't strange for people in this world to do such things.
But this didn't mean that he would accept it.
Fangzheng's reaction was simple.
He snapped his fingers, and soon, invisible magic power quickly removed the shackles on the girls and protected them in a circular bubble.
"What are you doing? Stop it! You are making an enemy of the Elspeth royal family! "
A pig's head roared angrily as it charged over. However, Fangzheng only waved his hand without turning his head. The next moment, the huge pig's head flew into the sky and flew to the side, dripping with blood. The fat man in noble attire staggered and fell to the ground.
This scene immediately angered the people in front of him and made them fall into fear.
"Bro, what are you doing?"
Neferine, Asya, and Codori also arrived at this moment. They were also shocked to see the pig-headed man on the ground without his head. But soon, when they saw the scene and the girls, the three of them were even more dumbfounded.
"These are … Gold Fairies?"
Asya recognized at a glance that these girls whose bodies had been cut open and looked extremely miserable were of her own race. This made her originally puzzled expression turn into anger.
"How dare the Elspeth do this? This is against the treaty! "
According to the treaty, every Gold Fairy on the floating continent should be managed by the Wing Guard. Unlike the Cursed Children, the Golden Fairies were not born from humans. On the contrary, they were more like spirits of nature, born and bred in natural lakes. They would appear as babies in lakes, streams, and rivers. They would be found and raised by people.
Of course, after the Gold Fairies were discovered to be able to use relic weapons to fight against the beasts, the Gold Fairies everywhere were basically handed over to the Wing Guard for unified management. This was also the treaty signed by the floating island civilization.
But now, Elspeth was actually imprisoning the Gold Fairies in private and even using them for experiments?
"Kill them!"
Another pig-man in noble attire shouted when he realized that his shameful plot had been exposed. A group of soldiers with guns in their hands rushed over and raised their guns at Fangzheng and the others.
However, Fangzheng just stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers. The bodies of the soldiers around him, as well as the white-clothed researchers, instantly exploded like balloons filled with air. Blood and internal organs scattered all over the ground, bringing with them a bloody smell.
"Hey, this …"
"Can you take them away?"
Fangzheng didn't even look at the corpses. It was as if he had just done something insignificant. He turned his head and asked Codori. Codori glanced at the corpses on the ground with a complicated expression, then nodded.
"I can contact a first-class military officer! Take them to the airship! "
"Good."
Fangzheng nodded.
As he spoke, he turned around and walked to a noble who had collapsed on the ground in fear. He reached out, grabbed its collar, and pulled the pig up.
"Who is the mastermind behind this?"
"This … this …"
Faced with Fangzheng's question, the pig trembled in fear.
"Who?"
"It's, it's His Majesty the King …"
"Oh, I see."
When Fangzheng heard that, he nodded. Then, he casually flung his hand, and the next moment, he saw the pig noble fly out with a whistling sound. It slammed into the wall beside him, and its head was smashed into smithereens like a watermelon.
"Okay, let's get out of here."
With that said, Fangzheng clapped his hands as though he had completed something trivial. However, this left the trio momentarily at a loss for words. After a few moments, Codori came back to her senses.
"What are you doing?! How can you … "
"Of course I can. I can do whatever I want."
Fangzheng looked at Codori.
"But …"
"I know what you mean."
Fangzheng waved his hand and interrupted Codori.
"I know that you Gold Fairies see yourselves as warriors and consumables that will die one day. None of this matters to you. But it's the same for me. How you see yourselves is your business. How others see you is their business. How I look at you is also my business. How you see yourselves and how others see you has nothing to do with me. I'm just doing what I want to do. "
"… So, how do you see us?"
At this moment, Neferlyn asked again. Fangzheng shrugged.
"At least … I don't think you deserve this kind of treatment."
Then, he said calmly.
