Lily had a magical talent. No matter how bizarre the situation was, she could always come up with an idea and carry it out. During the process, she would always be 100% excited and confident. Nothing could make the cheerful husky depressed or self-doubting. Just as she believed that she could find Mr. Landlord, she also believed that the meatball in front of her, which could not even conjure braised pork ribs, was just an illusion monster. There was no reason. Anyway, that was what she thought.
But her self-confidence was a bit baffling to others. Calaxus looked at the alpha in amazement. He did not know how the 'pork ribs' that the alpha mentioned had anything to do with the monster in front of him. After careful deduction, Calaxus thought that the alpha must have had a hard and thrilling spiritual battle with the monster in the spiritual world, and the 'pork ribs' might be a key factor in the outcome of the battle.
Well, he was not wrong.
It took the templar a lot of effort to lock the monster down. Compared to other monsters of Chaos, this lump of flesh in the smoke was like a mollusk without a fixed shape. It twisted and struggled, and the chains made of enchanted metal could not hold it in place. In the end, Calaxus had to take out an iron cage engraved with runes from his dimensional container to lock the monster inside. Then he used the Jailor Stone and rune chains to lock the cage tightly before he could complete the task.
The high-ranking monk spat at the meat in the cage. "Sukto's Cage, imprisoning all evil things. A monster of Chaos should feel honored to be able to use this divine artifact."
Lily looked worriedly at the Jailor Stone that was swaying outside the cage. "Does this thing work? This monster is very strange. Maybe it has a way to get out. "
"The Jailor Stone is collected from the crystal clusters that grow around the Jailor's Pillar," Calaxus explained patiently, knowing that the alpha knew little about the human world. "They are an extension of the power of the goddess of creation. No evil thing in the world can escape from her power."
Lily did not quite understand what Calaxus meant. Her golden eyes stared at the black monster lying at the bottom of the cage as if it had given up resisting. She recalled her adventure with Hao Ren and the knowledge that she read from Hao Ren's manual. "Uncle, who are you going to send to guard this cage?"
Calaxus did not bother to correct the alpha. He shook his head and pointed to the two templars beside him. "Kevin and Gris are powerful templars. I will also assign a combat monk to guard it with them."
Lily shook her head. "Let my bear monster guard it."
"Bear monster?" The high-ranking monk was stunned. "You may not understand, but the templars I brought with me are …"
"Let the bear monster guard it." Lily turned her head, her golden eyes gleaming with the cunning of a beast. "Because the bear monster will not dream."
"Will not dream?" Calaxus was a little stunned.
Lily laughed and said, "Not only do we have to let the bear monster guard, but other than the bear monster, everyone else must stay as far away from the cage as possible when sleeping. If anyone is in a trance or dozing around the cage, they must also be locked up with the Jailor Stone."
The black monster in the cage finally stopped pretending to be dead. It suddenly let out a terrifying roar. The roar was ear-piercing and terrifying, as if it could tear steel apart. "Damn bastard! Mortal! Where did you get this knowledge? "
Lily turned her head and smiled like a flower. "Mr. Landlord taught me! Mr. Landlord is amazing! "
The alpha was laughing, but Calaxus was in a cold sweat. At this time, he finally understood the intention of Lily's arrangement. All he could feel was a burst of fear. At the same time, he was deeply curious about the man called Mr. Landlord that the alpha often mentioned.
Lily, however, did not explain further. She just shook her head, turned around, and walked back to her 'throne', as if she did not care about the dreadful monster of nightmares. She only left a mysterious back view for the high-ranking monks and Templars.
Another night passed in the jungle. When the sun rose the next day, the 'mixed legion' of the beasts and the Sanctum investigation team set off again. This time, they would speed up and move at full speed to the southern border of Taros.
In the early morning of the same day, when the first ray of sunlight shone through the glass window of the airship and woke Hao Ren up, White City had appeared on the distant horizon.
Hao Ren dressed neatly and came to the upper deck of the airship. He saw the old knight Morian standing at the bow with a few of his personal knights. Veronica, who looked pale, stood behind Morian. She looked like she was barely able to pull herself together.
"Hey, are you feeling better today?" Hao Ren went over to greet the princess. "You can even come out for some fresh air."
"I'm fine." Veronica took a deep breath. "Thank you for the magic potion. I finally had a good night's sleep."
Hao Ren waved his hand. "It's just some medicine for seasickness and altitude sickness. To be honest, you should have taken it before boarding the ship. I gave it to you a little late, and the effect is not that significant anymore."
While Hao Ren said it casually, the knight princess was still very grateful for the two small pills he gave her yesterday. She guessed that it must have been made by the alchemists of the previous generation for the frontline soldiers, and the effect was incredible. The shelf life of ancient medicine was incredible …
But Hao Ren's thoughts went in another direction. In Collow, people already had flying vehicles like the airship, and it seemed that such flying units were not too rare. But this world had no corresponding anti-seasickness measures, and there was no high-altitude airtight cabin technology, which was a bit unusual. He thought that the anti-seasickness medicine was a subsidiary product of the 'airship' technology. While the latter had been widely used, the former was a blank. So other than the technology tree being a little off, there was only one possibility:
Technology gap and degeneration.
It seemed that while the humans of Collow had been protecting their heritage and maintaining a stalemate in the War of Chaos until now, the 10,000-year-long tug-of-war had inevitably damaged the civilization of this world, and some of their technology had been irreversibly damaged.
This was an inevitable phenomenon, but it was still a sigh.
"Where are we?" Hao Ren sighed, and then his eyes were attracted by the white on the horizon. "That's …"
"That is what I have mentioned to you before, the capital of Taros, White City." Morian nodded to Hao Ren. After Hao Ren cured the princess' seasickness with the magic potion, the solemn old knight's attitude toward Hao Ren had improved significantly. Before this, it was just pure respect, but now, there was something more from the bottom of his heart. "You certainly do not know this city. It was built by the founding emperor of Taros three centuries ago, 700 years later than your time."
Hao Ren nodded, trying to recall how Vivian would react when she heard this. He pretended to be an old man who had lived for many years while observing the White City that was gradually becoming clearer. "A magnificent city. You can imagine how much glory this city has borne."
"You will receive the highest courtesy and gratitude from my father," Veronica said to Hao Ren seriously. "You have not only saved me but also helped us bring back valuable information from outside the border of Order. I think this is worth at least the title of an earl."
"I don't lack titles," Hao Ren said casually. "I just hope that I can use him to find someone."
Veronica was a little curious. "What kind of person are you looking for? With all due respect, White City alone has a population of hundreds of thousands, not to mention the entire Ansu Continent and even other continents. It is not easy to find a person in the vast sea of people. "
Hao Ren thought for a moment and said, "First of all, I can be sure that she is not too far away from me. She should be in Taros. Second, she is a troublemaker. She should be making a lot of noise."
Little did Hao Ren know that his prediction had come true. The husky had really made a lot of noise, so much so that it was a little scary.
After waiting anxiously for a while, the airship finally arrived above the holy white city.
The white city walls and neat streets slowly receded below, and the majestic rampart of the White City Palace appeared in front of them. The airship slowly adjusted its direction and approached the large platform in front of the palace. Hao Ren saw the royal honor guard and a large group of people who looked like civil and military officials standing neatly on the platform. Below the platform, there was a large crowd of onlookers. Ribbons and flags were undulating in the sea of people, and the jubilant atmosphere seemed to rise from the ground to the airship.
Long before the airship arrived, the accompanying archmages had already contacted Whitetown through communication magic. That was why there was such a grand welcoming ceremony.
Morian was excited after seeing the scene. His face was full of joy as he shouted, "Attendants, put down the emblem!"
Several attendants immediately ran to both sides of the airship. A moment later, two huge colorful curtains hung down from the side of the airship. The other two airships also received the signal and put down the curtains a few seconds later.
The curtains depicted the eagle emblem of the royal family of Taros, and at the end of the curtain was Veronica's private mark: a golden rose in full bloom on the blade.
On the large platform below, Rudolph III also saw the emblem hanging down from the side of the airship. The strong king clenched the scepter in his hand, his face trembled a few times, and exhaled softly. "She is finally back."
