Not being able to get by with dodging like I usually do in battle, this time going head-to-head with the beasts hurt me so badly that even in unconsciousness, I still couldn’t help but feel the excruciating pain that had me clenching my teeth.

　　When I came back to my senses, I found myself lying on my side on a soft feather bed, my mouth was dry and my back hurt. The injuries I sustained from fighting the orcs, although they didn’t hurt my muscles and bones, they still left me with a lot of muscle damage, and without a period of convalescence, I would never be able to fight with a human being.

　　During the time I was unconscious, intermittently, I seemed to hear Asuka’s voice. This girl had been caring about me who had fallen asleep due to massive blood loss, that much I could feel. However, every time I heard her voice, there was another very gentle and elegant man’s voice that appeared along with it, telling her not to get too wound up. I didn’t know who that man was, but in my heart, for some reason, I felt anxious, very anxious.

　　Later on, I felt my entire body warm up, like I was being pencilled in by the sun’s rays; it was a sacred warlock using a reply spell, and I woke up shortly after.

　　“A, Asuka ……”

　　“There’s no need to call, the person isn’t here.”

　　When I opened my eyes, I didn’t see Asuka or the pretty feathered girls, the first thing that came into my eyes was a big face.

　　“Hey! What are you doing here?”

　　“Peeling apples for the patients, what else is there to do but that at this point in time?”

　　“That’s not what I’m asking, I’m wondering why you’re here peeling apples. Where are the others?”

　　“Oh, I’m an uncle. In all kinds of adventure stories, older men like me are responsible for odd jobs. Everyone else has gone to a meeting to celebrate, so of course I had to come here to be the handyman.”

　　Sitting on a chair not far from the bed, peeling an apple with a knife, is Mao Yan’an. He had already freshened up and changed his clothes, and he still looked so dashing, but his face was a bit bruised and swollen. From what he said, it was because Nei Hong was in a hurry to meet up with his clan members after arriving at the city of Skaiwa Golou, so he threw him out of the way and fell into a tree, continuously breaking branches and falling down, resulting in such a bruised and swollen face.

　　Imagine, Nihong is not a stupid person, after a series of accidents, must have been already suspicious of Mao Yan’an, coupled with the fact that he has already arrived at his destination, no need to endure something, and began to give him a little bit of small revenge.

　　And from Mao Yan’an, I probably figured out the whole turn of events.

　　Although they already knew in advance that the Fire-worshippers were about to attack and prepared in a hurry, but the gap between each other’s strength was too big, when the Fire-worshippers appeared and attacked, the feathered people still had a hard time coping with the situation. After several days of hard fighting, by virtue of the heavenly dangers and protective boundaries, even though there were no major casualties, they were exhausted to the extreme.

　　The two sides are at a stalemate, with a truce at night, and it just so happens that that night we were to sneak into the city of Skiva Golgotha, causing a commotion on the orc side, causing them to split up their troops to search for them, but the home front revealed a gap to take advantage of. Grasping this point of the Feathered Clan, launched a surprise attack, with the Neon Sisters, who happened to meet with them, as the main force, burned several important strongholds in the orc camp, causing them to lose food, but also took advantage of the chaos to kill and injure many of the other side’s good players, the results of the war were very fruitful.

　　The Feathers are still considered conscientious, and while the surprise attack was successful, they also rescued Asuka and I from the chaos, and I heard them say that the one who took action to bring us out from the thousands of beastmen was Nei Hong’s senior brother, the first disciple of Master Xin Zen of the Palace of the God of Light, Fang Qing Shu.

　　“Fang Qingshu? That little white boy?”

　　Thinking back to the last impression before the coma, that man, looks like the painting of the gods as handsome, when he uses sacred magic, the whole body shrouded in a layer of faint light, looks like the sun god descended to earth, no wonder there will be so many how many women will fall for it.

　　However, the mere thought of being saved by a man was unpleasant enough, and the thought that he was holding Asuka in his arms at that moment made it even hotter.

　　“Don’t just call him a white boy, you were able to get better so quickly, or it was because of the fact that he helped you use the recovery spell just now, otherwise, you might not have woken up even if you were in a coma for a few more days.”

　　Mao Yan’an had only finished speaking when a clamour rang out from outside.

　　“Master, has Master woken up already?”

　　Asuka, who had no other strengths but more spirit than anyone else, quickly pushed her way in and rushed straight to the bedside.

　　“Yoo-hoo, Master, are you okay? Asuka was so worried about you.”

　　Concerned look, overflowing, look at her face haggard appearance, let a person can not help but feel pity, and then look at her head, hands plastered with medicinal cloths and bandages, want to think of the injuries sustained in the melee at that time, I feel a burst of heartache, just about to voice probing, a gentle and good sounding voice also resounded outside the door.

　　“Has Brother Lan woken up? Also, I heard that Teacher Mao came too, is that true?”

　　As he spoke, a man pushed the door and walked in. True to his title of Knight of Light, from the moment Fang Qingshu entered, the entire room seemed to be shrouded in light. The moment he pushed open the door, dazzling sunlight shone straight into the room, causing his blonde hair to shine brightly, forcing people to look at him; his warm smile was like warm daylight emanating in winter, even the teeth that were revealed with his smile were white to the point of glittering.

　　I probably kind of understand now why some people are able to burn their existence to light up the darkness. If it’s something like this guy, even without having to light a fire, it’s still enough to make one’s eyes sting.

　　He arrived with Ah Xue, and by the looks of it, he was coming to console me, however, the moment he entered the door, his entire gaze was attracted to other targets. Not at me, but at the uncle Mao who was peeling apples with a knife.

　　“Teacher? Is it really you? I thought at first that you, teacher, might come to the Feather Clan, so I especially rushed to the Southern Barbarians, and sure enough, I met you, which is really great. It’s been two years since I’ve seen you, are you all well?”

　　It is difficult to think that Mao Yan’an and Fang Qingshu are not only old acquaintances, but also from Fang Qingshu’s attitude, it seems that he also has great respect for this uncle Mao, who does not know what kind of teacher he is, which once again makes me doubtful, and I look Mao Yan’an up and down, thinking that I can’t figure out what the skills of this outdated imperial artist are, to be able to climb up to such a celebrity as Fang Qingshu?

　　Mao Yan’an looked back at me awkwardly, shrugged his shoulders, and chilled out with Fang Qingshu. It sounded as if Mao Yan’an, when he was working as an imperial painter in the Golden Bird Flower Federation, had frequent dealings with the Divine Palace of Light and met Fang Qingshu, who was learning the art in the Divine Palace, instructing him in literary matters and painting, and taking him along on a number of trips to many places, and thus gained Fang Qingshu’s gratitude and respect.

　　(Really hell, how do I look at it, this guy doesn’t look like a big shot, but he’s so good at pulling strings?)

　　This doubt could not be answered for a while, and afterwards Mao Yan’an even helped me to make a formal introduction, saying that I was the Martial Arts Instructor of the Imperial Army of Ali Buda.

　　A hint of doubt flashed in Fang Qingshu’s eyes, at first I just thought that he thought that my martial arts were not worthy of the name, only later did Mao Yanan tell me that it was wrong. This guy is regarded as the first of the new generation of experts is not without reason, appointed a low martial arts guy as the head of the imperial army, in the noble lineage of command, there is nothing unusual, but Ali Buda Kingdom in the last ten years of the list of high-ranking officials, he remembered clearly, there is no one called “blue eagle” head.

　　“So it’s Instructor Blue, nice to meet you, Instructor Blue you …… Huh? This call seems …… like it.”

　　Fang Qingshu looked at Mao Yanan with a meaningful look, and the latter smiled with a cheap smile that had nothing to do with him. I repeated this name in my mouth twice, “Blue Instructor, Blue Instructor,” read faster will not become a ……

　　Bastard thing, now I know why Mao Yanan deliberately help me to boast as martial arts instructor, it turns out to be deliberately pit me together. The Nihong Sisters don’t say anything, but it’s possible that from the moment they thought of this title, they began to look down on me.

　　Undeniably, Fang Qingshu was impeccable in the way he treated people, quite polite and courteous, one could even say that it was uncharacteristically polite for him. Teenage heroes like him, especially if they are from a noble and famous family, are usually all above board and extremely annoying; Nei Hong, because of her diligence in handling cases all over the world and having contact with various classes, has a lower posture, which is already a rare anomaly, but when encountering people like me that they don’t see eye to eye with, they still directly express their contempt and stay away from them.

　　But Fang Qingshu gave off a different feeling. Whether he liked it or not, his posture was quite modest, never letting the person he was talking to feel a hint of displeasure. Even though he did not put on a smile on his face, his peaceful tone and words allowed people to feel sincerity and not be able to revive any ill feelings, and they were very willing to befriend him as a friend.

　　Imagine, when he used this attitude, to deal with all sides of the reckless heroes, no matter what fierce and vicious characters, are very easy to be softened by him, together to drink a few cups, to establish friendship. This kind of temperament is called the charisma of a leader, if one’s own conditions are already outstanding, and then matched with this kind of temperament, walking in the jianghu is naturally unfavourable.

　　By all rights, I should have been affected as well, because no matter how much I tried to pick out the man’s flaws and thus hate him on the basis of that, it was all in vain, and I had to admit that the Kouzou no Kami Palace had cultivated a near-perfect example of a young warrior.

　　However, when I saw him and Asuka laughing and talking happily, a wave of fire came straight up, and my chest felt incredibly sour, making me act like a child in trouble, and do something ungrateful.

　　Fang Qingshu also seems to have found something wrong, and is about to leave after a few polite words. Honestly speaking, this guy is really good, consecutively received a few sentences of my not light and not heavy ridicule, half a bit of fire also did not, young age has this kind of stamina, really do not know Cihang Jing Temple is how to teach out.

　　He hadn’t even left yet, yet another guest arrived. The door to the room was pushed open, and a group of Feather Race women stepped in, a visually intense stimulus that instantly brightened one’s eyes.

　　Not every Feathered can retract their wings, and because of the wings on their backs, and in order to facilitate their movements, the Feathered female warriors have very simple combat clothing. Two-piece light armour, with a metal headband over their hair, and their whole body was almost half-naked. They wore a triangular crotch-hugging leather armour underneath, the entire curve of which was cut tightly along their private parts, while their upper body was a breastplate that covered their bosoms just right, and their combat boots were straight-length to their knees, shielded by a single brass piece.

　　The body of the feather tribe women was mostly slim and bony, not known for being plump and succulent. Dressed like this, although they revealed their snow-white waists, flat stomachs, and beautifully shaped thighs, they didn’t look obscene, but instead, when they spread their feathers, they gave people a very fit impression.

　　“Is your guest awake? Welcome to the city of Skiva Gloria, I am Katrina, temporary regent of the Feather Clan, and I would like to extend our gratitude for your snowy welcome.”

　　The group of Feather Clan women that came in, apart from Ni Hong, was led by a brocade-clad beauty. While saying words of thanks, she fluttered her two hands like a bird spreading its wings, than circled in a delicate gesture, and finally, while encircling it back to her chest, she bent over to pay her respects with an elegant and ethereal gesture.

　　Mao Yan’an explained in a low voice that this was the etiquette of the Feather Clan to show respect to their honoured guests. But the so-called honoured guest, does it mean Fang Qingshu, Mao Yan’an, or me? This was really a difficult question to answer.

　　I sized up this beautiful woman who was acting as the clan master. She was about thirty years old, with beautiful features and a rare look of determination in her eyes. She was dressed in the same way as the rest of the clan, except that there was a diamond shaped cat’s eye stone set on her headband, and a plain white veil was put on top of her armour, giving her a graceful and beautiful appearance in the midst of her martial arts, creating an extremely eye-catching presence.

　　According to the explanation of the Dragon Lady sister, I came here in order to bring a message and a token to her, but the current situation is complicated, if I directly say that the Dragon Lady sister will be delayed, I am afraid that it will have unfavourable effects. When I hesitated, Katrina’s eyes flashed with a hint of horror, and she looked at my face as if she had seen something very strange.

　　I believe I was the only one who saw that look, but it made me suspicious, and I decided to continue to hide my identity for the time being.

　　“The Blue Cult of Ali Buda …… Well, young Blue, because of your righteousness and bravery, we were able to grasp the opportunity to fight the enemy army, to us Feathered Clan, you are our benefactor.”

　　It’s good that it’s true, to put it mildly. Anyway, since I didn’t die, then the previous “sharp body to the disaster” has a price, but, it seems that it doesn’t seem to have much effect, Nei Hong looks at me, although it is not as full of obvious contempt as before, but together with their sisters, all the women in the whole room, their attention is focused on the handsome man standing by the door, Fang Qing Shu’s body. man, Fang Qingshu’s body.

　　In contrast, I only got two female gazes on my side. One was Asuka, this girl finally had some conscience; the other was Katrina. The gazes she glanced at from time to time made me suspicious, could it be that this Feather Clan Lord is a woman with a special fetish? Otherwise, why did she leave the two beautiful men alone and stare at me, an ordinary person with average looks?

　　Afterwards, I heard from Katrina’s conversation with Mao Yan’an that they were originally old acquaintances, and that Mao Yan’an would even visit the city of Skaiwa Golou once every few years, conveying messages for the two sides of the Cihang Jing Temple and the Feather Clan.

　　The number of Feathered Clan members gathered in the city of Skiva Golou was around 3,000 to 4,000. Because of the usual practice, once the war starts, all the people, young and old, can go to the battlefield, so it can be regarded as the elite state of all the soldiers. However, there are no outstanding talents in the clan, and only a few of them can be rated as Level 4 or above. Even the “strongest” clan master, Katrina, only has Level 5 cultivation, so if we go to war with the Fire-worshipping Cult, which is full of masters, it will be as dangerous as an egg, which is why we urgently sent out a post to invite the masters to help us out.

　　“It is already a great honour for my Feather Clan to receive the righteous assistance of a few of you now, thank you all.”

　　“Clan Master is polite, just, when two armies are facing each other, it is difficult for a man’s courage to save the day, from the current situation, it seems that the Feather Clan has succumbed to an unfavourable situation, I don’t know if the Clan Master has any good strategies for retreating from the enemy?”

　　The one who spoke was Fang Qingshu. Leaning against the door with his arms folded, his unhurried tone had a calming charm, causing the crowd to focus their gazes and contemplate his words.

　　“What Young Master Fang said is good, and for that we have some preparations.” Katrina said, “Please follow me, everyone.”

　　My wounds were almost healed after receiving the healing spell of Restoration. However, the blood loss and physical weakness caused by the fierce battle is not something that a recovery spell can cure. I relied on Asuka’s support and followed them all the way to see what the Feathered Clan had prepared to win this battle, which was not a winnable one.

　　Looking out at the view, and the positions of the remaining four towers, I knew that we were now in the red building to the west, and with Katrina leading the way, we walked towards the white building in the centre.

　　With the winding staircase straight up, at the top of the white building is a rather large hall. At the tip of the conical roof, there is a piece of transparency, that is a strange crystal I have seen before, in the sunlight, transformed into a rainbow of seven-coloured light, all over the hall, all the things, as if in a glazed dream world.

　　In the centre of the hall is a large object covered by a long curtain, and it is not clear whether it is an idol or an altar. Or was it an altar?

　　Only one thing is certain. Even I, a fellow with a third-rate magical cultivation, could feel that a faint sense of holiness was emanating from behind that cloth mantle.

　　“As you may already know, what our Feather Race is most proud of is that we have developed the floating technology for large objects using various crystals, as well as our special bloodline spell power, and the Phoenix Island of that day was the pinnacle result of this research of ours.”

　　Katrina explained. Since the disappearance of the Phoenix Island, this technique was almost lost, until she established the Skaiwagol Building City, widely summoned all parties of the Feather Clan’s remnants, and worked in unison to research for many years, only then did she re-developed the technique, only that under the crippling of the practical spells, and without the Phoenix bloodline’s spell-wielding operation, the extent of what could be done at the moment could not be compared to that time by a long shot. Rather, they still built a building city that could float.

　　Skywalker” means “skywalker”. The bottom and top of the five towers are made of special crystals, which are easy to resonate with the floating spell circle, and in the tower buildings, there are also a large number of airbags and wings, which assist in the effect of levitation, when the whole floating spell circle is activated, with the assistance of these things, the Skwag building will be able to detach itself from the ground, float in the sky, and move on the wind.

　　Apart from the Feathered Race, the various beast races of the Southern Barbarians had almost no air combat capability, in other words, as long as they floated up into the air, the lower head was a thousand armies coming together to kill them, and also the Feathered Race couldn’t be helped. In the past, the city of Skaiwa Golou relied on such a method to avoid the enemy’s attack several times, and got the opportunity to grow and thrive.

　　“Originally, this time, we also wanted to repeat the same trick, but the Fire-worshipping Cult underestimated our weaknesses and picked this juncture to attack ……”

　　The Feather Clan’s floating technique is very much affected by the timing of heaven and earth. The yin and yang qi of heaven and earth will change with the cycle, this year is coincidentally the year of yin and yang decline, especially in the first few months, the yin qi of the southern barbaric region is very prosperous, but the yang qi is weakened to the extreme, causing a bunch of road sections covered with miasmatic plague qi.

　　Yin and Yang rotation, this is the natural reason of birth and death, nothing to make a fuss, first-class magician will even take advantage of the opportunity to specialise in the Yin year to practice some special magic. In the Southern Barbarians, Beast Magicians would also use this rare time of the year to practice special Yin Compulsion Beast Magics, so that they would grow rapidly in the weakest season of Yang Qi. However, for the Skaiwa Golou City, which drew on the true fire of the sun as its energy source, such a crisis would be very bad, because in the case of a lack of energy, the Floating Spell, which was barely able to be activated in the first place, was simply nullified.

　　“We also know this, so the last time we floated and migrated, we especially chose this poor mountainous and secluded place, hoping to quietly spend the first half of this year, how do we know that there is indeed a high person in the Fire-worshipping Cult, who has seen through our weaknesses, and sent out a wide range of spies to find the building’s city, and attacked it in a big way.”

　　Unlike previous times, although the feather tribe got the news, but can not start the building city fly away. If you want to abandon the building city and go, one can not give up years of foundation, and secondly, there is no geographical cover, it is more likely to be broken by the enemy one by one. Under no choice but to sit in the city, watching the enemy surrounded.

　　Katrina said, “Because we know that the situation is unfavourable, we have invited help from all parties and gathered all our strength in the hope that we can get through this crisis safely.”

　　Mao Yanan said, “Well, but the Fire-worshipping religion people strong and powerful, although the Ten Thousand Beasts Venerable One has not come out of the gate, the four clans of experts have not reached half, but the overall situation is still beyond our reach, if we fight hard, I’m afraid that …… the clan masters to make any plans?”

　　That one, I’m afraid, doesn’t need to be said, we also know how it is. Although Nihong is not weak, it is still no match for Cihang Jing Palace’s Heavenly Pride, Fang Qingshu, and even he has just personally admitted that it is difficult to save a man’s courage, so where would the others whose power would only be even lower dare to harbour any illusions?

　　“No, regarding the strategy to deal with the enemy, our basic concept is still to start the floating shelter of the building city and not to engage in a head-on battle. It’s just that, this time, we need the help of heaven’s time, and the most ideal heaven’s time is at noon in fifteen days’ time, so I hope to have your assistance in defending the building city until that moment.”

　　“Well, it is a man’s honour to fight for the women of the Feather Clan, so of course it’s not a problem. However, according to the number of heavenly events, after fifteen days, although the yin qi begins to converge and the yang fire begins to grow, I’m afraid that it will take another three months for it to return to a blazing intensity that is strong enough to cause the building city to float, is this point in Maomou’s calculations incorrect?”

　　“No, not at all, so we must use outside forces.” At Katrina’s gesture, several female warriors pulled down the drapery of the large object in the hall, revealing what was inside.

　　“Oh? This is ……”

　　Uncover the heavy cloth, that is a huge mirror table. Enough to have a two and a half feet high, with a kind of metal material I can not recognise manufacturing, non-gold, non-copper, the whole body faintly with a layer of halo yellow aura, the form of ancient simplicity, but also until I get close to look at, only to find that the mirror table is not ordinary.

　　Mirror table engraved with something, not ordinary beautiful pattern, but according to the position of the stars in the sky to carve, as far as possible to collect the flashing stars; against the centre of the two movable rings, on behalf of the orbit of the sun and the moon, the whole mirror table is a clear and detailed astrological instrument.

　　“Oh, that’s amazing, I haven’t seen anything this fine when I visited before.” With admiration in my heart, I almost said the wrong thing for a moment, I inclined my head to look, but I saw Mao Yan’an and Fang Qingshu coincidentally coming closer to watch, their faces filled with cautiousness.

　　It’s not easy to draw a complete astrological map due to limitations in equipment and technology. The technology for observing some lightless dark stars was only even developed in the last two hundred years, so much so that highly precise astrolabes were extremely expensive and often only a country’s King’s Magical Academy could have them, but the one I saw during my visit to the King’s Magical Academy of Alibudah was much more rudimentary than this one;looking at Fang Qingshu’s expression, I’m afraid that not even the Temple of Cihai Jing has such a precise astrolabe.

　　The strange thing is, this mirror seems to be more than five hundred years old, at that time the observation technology was not yet mature, how could there be a way to make this kind of thing? From the sacred atmosphere emanating from the top, this mirror may have been a magical device with certain functions in the past, could it be …… that this mirror hides the untold secrets of the feathered ancestors?

　　“Looking at this style, this is the …… Great Sun Heavenly Mirror, right?” Rarely, although he was the first to name this mirror stage, Fang Qingshu’s tone carried a few moments of uncertainty.

　　“Eunuch Fang is truly brilliant, this is indeed the treasure of my Feather Clan that has been passed down from generation to generation, the Great Sun Heavenly Mirror.” Astonishment flashed across Katrina’s eyes, obviously not expecting to be recognised through the origin of this mirror stage at once.

　　“No …… I thought of it because I used to listen to Teacher Mao advocating the world’s precious antiquities when he had mentioned the name of the Great Sun Heavenly Mirror.” Looking at the star map on the mirror platform, Fang Qingshu murmured, “However, it is indeed unexpected that this precious mirror really exists ……”

　　Mao Yanan looked at the mirror platform from the side and smiled without saying anything. I can feel that this mirror platform seems to have certain legends that I don’t know, so I can ask privately later.

　　“Properly speaking, this Great Sun Heavenly Mirror is not complete, we only obtained the mirror base. As for the mirror, it was lost when it was passed down from the hands of our ancestors.”

　　As soon as Katrina said that, I remembered that in the centre of this mirror table, a circular gap where the lens was supposed to be placed was empty, nothing existed. If this mirror was supposed to be the same magical artefact, then with the lenses missing and only the mirror table left, it would be impossible for it to function as it was supposed to.

　　“Because there is no mirror, the Great Sun Heavenly Mirror cannot function. For so many years, we have spent a lot of manpower and resources searching for the mirror, but we have always come up empty-handed, and with this duel looming, and with nothing else to do, we have no choice but to ask Lord Heart Lantern Dweller, to help us create a mirror for use in its place.”

　　At Katrina’s gesture, Nihong carefully took out a tightly wrapped mirror-like object from their travelling bag, unwrapping it, it was a transparent mirror. The size of the mirror is in line with the holes on the Great Sun Mirror Seat, the material is the kind of seven-coloured crystals on top of the five buildings of the city, it looks crystal clear, colourful light flow.

　　To grind the stone into such a smooth mirror without a single flaw, the difficulty is naturally not easy, I heard that the heart lamp dweller is the world’s premier dexterous hand today, coupled with his fire magic cultivation, he is an excellent candidate for making high-level magical guides, but I heard that he has an eccentric temperament, this time, if it were not for the sake of Nihon, the Feather Clan wanted to ask him to do it, that would be really not easy.

　　“Is it Third Uncle’s Third World Mirror?” Gazing at the mirror, Fang Qingshu looked surprised.

　　“What’s a third world mirror?” Without me having to ask, Asuka had already taken the initiative to ask.

　　“That’s a kind of higher magic artefact of the Cihang Jing Temple, and currently only the Heart Lantern Abbot can make it.” Mao Yan’an said, “As long as there is a monk with enough cultivation to hold an incantation on the magic mirror, you can see your past life from the mirror, however, the monk who will use this magic is not known to be still available now ……”

　　It was very magical, but I did see the relevant records in the Blood Nightmare Secret Records, so I didn’t think it was strange, and just looked at the mirror a couple more times.

　　Katrina said, “With the mirror, the magic power of the Great Sun Heavenly Mirror can be utilised. Although it’s much less effective than the original, it’s enough to activate the floating spell formation and make the building city take off into the air. At noon fifteen days from now, when the yang fire is first restored, it is the minimum energy requirement to activate the Great Sun Heavenly Mirror, so please support it until that moment.”
