Chapter 76

As Chu Feiyue took out the queen ant's body, the trembling lump of fat "plop" fell to the ground, spreading out like a pancake.

"Such good quality, it would make a very comfortable pillow… (^－^)~" Auresia poked the queen ant, quite satisfied with its softness.

In a great mood, Auresia gave each of the two a small kiss on the cheek, then directly sent them to the teleportation array next to the Mage Guild.

The two only felt a moment of darkness before the surroundings changed. Auresia's spatial magic was truly convenient.

However, spatial magic also had some drawbacks, such as the possibility of moving objects interfering with the safe landing of the teleported person...

Just like now, Qin Yue looked up and saw her brother lying on the shoulder of a female player, trying hard not to laugh, which was quite a struggle.

Yueroulan calmly picked up Chu Feiyue from her body and threw him on the ground, then looked down at him steadily.

When Chu Feiyue fell, he must have touched something soft, so the expressionless girl's face was actually a bit red.

This was the first time she showed any expression...

Chu Feiyue awkwardly waved his arms, trying to explain the reason. Unfortunately, no matter what he said, Yueroulan stared at him intently.

Finally, Chu Feiyue gave up. He let his hands hang down and lowered his head dejectedly.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to, really."

Just like that, Yueroulan actually pulled him up. She pointed to the blue teleportation pillar, then turned her head to admire the sunset.

Chu Feiyue understood her meaning; she was telling him to go first.

So, Qin Yue covered her mouth and hopped onto the teleportation pillar, followed by Chu Feiyue.

After Chu Feiyue, Yueroulan indeed followed.

Chu Feiyue still wanted to complain about the pig-like stupid directional signs, but with Yueroulan, who was afraid of heights, behind him, he couldn't afford to waste time.

Chu Feiyue led Yueroulan into the Mage Guild, and as expected, she disappeared the moment they entered.

"╮(╯▽╰)╭ What a godlike girl." Chu Feiyue sighed and went to turn in his quest.

Grandpa Dick's appearance was the same as a few days ago, lying on the "plank" and reviewing the inherited Estoria magic book.

Chu Feiyue pulled him out of the sea of knowledge and told him how he had dealt with the blood-veined ant army.

"Oh, so the adult has cleared the mine?"

"Um, but it's not a mine anymore... so I'm not sure if I completed the quest." Chu Feiyue scratched his head, a bit regretful for telling Dick about turning the mine into a dungeon.

"That doesn't matter." Dick spread his hands to form a 180-degree angle. "The dungeon you described, I think, is a product of illusion manifestation. I can barely manage it myself... Yes, creating a strange dimension that repeatedly replays the history of a place, with the same things happening each time. This can even form naturally in environments with deep grudges, like the Death Mine outside the City of Fertility and the Tiger Chasing Water outside the City of War. These places usually have several entrances, with different levels of grudges, and thus different levels of manifestation in the triggered dimensions. But their original environments are real and quite safe, except for being a bit eerie. So the mine can still be used; saying it can't be entered is just to fool the adventurers."

Well, Grandpa Dick never really considered Chu Feiyue an adventurer from the beginning...

"Quest: Clear the Red Vein Stone Mine completed. Reward: New dungeon [Red Vein Mine] unlocked."

That was it. Grandpa Dick, very satisfied, started looking for Chu Feiyue's next quest.

After pulling out a small scroll, Grandpa Dick's brows furrowed. He glanced at Chu Feiyue with a bit of worry, then took a deep breath and read out the quest.

"Recently, a village called Huanhua Village in the western remote area of the Flower Court jurisdiction was brutally attacked by a group of bandits. The local garrison requested permission to surround and suppress them, but this would certainly result in significant casualties. So, please, adult, go and eliminate this group of bandits."

"Accept quest: Eliminate the bandits. Eliminate the Green Pine Mountain bandits who massacred Huanhua Village, and ensure not a single one is left. Quest giver: Dick, President of the Flower Court Mage Guild. Reward unknown."

"Remaining bandits: 398."

This quest...

Chu Feiyue didn't take this quest seriously at the moment, but just as he was about to leave, Dick called him back.

"Adult, do you not have a magic staff yet?"

"Ah, right." Chu Feiyue's interest immediately spiked; he had been thinking about getting a magic staff for a long time.

Mourn the poor 0 strength.

"Lord Messiah asked me to give this to you. She said this is your magic staff." Saying this, Grandpa Dick pulled out a brick from his sleeve.

Yes, it was indeed a brick in appearance, the best choice for street fights by hooligans or for home travel, self-defense, fire prevention, theft prevention, and protection against perverts...

It was a grayish-white rectangular block, engraved with countless silver patterns. Chu Feiyue felt an even more terrifying elemental surge from these patterns than from the purple light curtain at the teleportation square, all confined within this small rectangular block.

Chu Feiyue prepared to use about 20 kilograms of strength to lift it, but it was unexpectedly light, so light that even without the Mage Hand, he could easily pick it up.

It was just a bit heavier than a grain of rice.

"Mysterious Stone Plate: Unknown, relic. This stone plate seems to seal something, but no one has figured it out yet."

Just as Chu Feiyue was about to study it further, Freya's urgent voice echoed in his mind.

"Master, master, master! I can feel it, that's me, that's definitely a part of me!"

What, you say this is a part of you?

"Yes, master, it sealed itself! But I can reactivate it; just press me against it."

So, Chu Feiyue took out his necklace and pressed the crystal pendant against the mysterious stone plate.

Seeing the pendant, Grandpa Dick's pupils instantly shrank to pinpricks.

The moment the pendant touched the mysterious stone plate, it began to gradually disintegrate. The silver magic patterns on the stone plate flowed into the red crystal column in the center of the pendant like a stream, and the stone plate, now without the protection of the magic patterns, crumbled into white sand and slipped through Chu Feiyue's fingers.
