Chapter 18

【18】

「Well… This is how the spell works. Everything is set up, and I am under your control now. No matter what movement you make, I will do the same. However, you need to pay attention to my surroundings and do not let me fall, or else I won’t be able to get up.」

「This is so interesting!」 Grieve raise his leg excitedly,「Will you hurt if I do something like this ?」

「YES! IT! HURTS! VERY MUCH SO!!!」 Slair protested with a grimly face,「So you better come up with some easier moves.」

「I am sorry.」 Grieve stretched out his hand and tried to help Slair rub his leg. This action caused Slair’s hand to raise too and just touched in between Grieve’s crotch.

「…」

「I must remind you that I am under your control. Therefore you better stay there and don’t move.」

On the day of the Spring Festival, Slair felt a sudden regret. The whole thing was a farce, and it was obviously unnecessary to stand here and make some silly moves. If he wanted, he could blow a gust of wind to disrupt the sisters’ dance or secretly light their clothes on fire and make them panic. Although Grieve approved of magic, he would not allow Slair to use it to bully two girls. So he glanced at the sisters and the triumphant old man, then let go of his thoughts and waited for the dance battle to end.

Grieve was having a blast. Dancing was a few entertainments he had; this time, he danced with Slair. His dance skill was just as good as the sisters’, and because of the spell, their movements were more symmetrical than the sisters.

It would be great if Slair could dance with me without magic. Grieve though. What a pity. The twin lotus dance was performed by friends who trusted each other with their lives, couples who swore to be with each other until the end of the world, or family members connected by blood. Slair was terrible at dancing, but why did that matter?

The drums were almost stopped. The villagers couldn’t help but start cheering for Grieve and Slair. At that moment, Grieve noticed the old liar, the twin sister’s father, secretly opened a basket. A slender object jumped out of it.

Their dance was about to end. . Under the reflection of the campfire, Grieve saw there was a snake about to bite Slair. He tried to jump away with Slair, then he remembered that their movements were symmetric– There was not much time for him to think, he decided to do a spin.

"

"

The drums stopped.

The snake hung on Grieve with its teeth deeply embedded in the roots of his thighs.

Slair quickly canceled the magic. He drew the knife from his waist, chopped the snake in half, picked out its teeth, cut off Grieve’s pants and wounds, and leaned down to suck out the poisonous blood. The pointy triangular snake head bounced on the ground. All the villagers were shocked by what happened.

「The Dragon God above!」 The chief shouted,「Beton, we sympathize with your family. We know raising a family by yourself is hard, so we didn’t accuse you of your behavior. But how could you attack innocent people with a poisonous snake? Poor young man, I have detoxifying herbs in my house. I will bring them to you.」

Beton was shocked too. He pointed at that snake’s bulging belly, and said:「I don’t mean to hurt anyone! The snake I raised was non-venomous, but I didn’t expect it to be swallowed by this poisonous snake. I swear I have no idea how it gets into my snake basket! I just want to scare them and make them fall, so my daughters could win the duel!」

Slair was absolutely livid. He spat the poisonous blood on Beton’s face and cursed:「You lied to my companion, so he had to participate in this unfair dance battle. Now you use your snake to attack us— Don’t you think that the harm of a non-venomous snake does not consider harm ?」

「How could I foresee that you can’t dodge a simple attack?」 Benton said aggrievedly.

「I never agreed to your unreasonable demands, but Grieve asked me to be his partner. He promised me victory, yet he was afraid of hurting me. He decides to continue dancing and block the attack !」 Slair trembled in anger. He held on to Grieve’s hand— although people helped him with emergency detoxing, the snake’s venom was potent. Grieve’s leg quickly swelled, his lips turned black, and his face was pale with pain.

「This man,」Slair said,「I watched him grow up. I know when he spoke his first word when he learned to walk, and what type of weapon he shed blood on. Because of his mother’s wish, he went to the mountains alone, facing ten snow wolves and killed a needle bear; He survived a rebellion, surrounded by thousands of enemies, and torrential rain of arrows shot at him; He traveled to the board faced limitless rats tide, he held his position and prepared to fight to the death… Despite all the challenges in his life, he did not die, lose his faith, or harm anyone. He is a brave warrior, a son who will avenge his parent’s death, and a man who follows the Book of Dragons and believe in the truth. Today, he was harmed by your selfish and despicable tricks. If anything happens to him– 」

Beton fell to the ground, frightened by the angry boy. The chief hurried over, filled Grieve with a bowl of potion, then smeared something strange on his wound.

「Will this work?」 Slair questioned. He knew a magic spell that could heal wounds but didn’t know how to detoxify.

「Don’t worry」The village chief comforted him,「We have many snakes like this, and this is how we treated the wounds. This warrior is so strong; he will be fine.」

After taking medicine, Grieve looked better. The villagers helped bring Grieve back to the inn. Slair sat at the bedside and held Grieve’s hand. He felt better after seeing Grieve recovering bit by bit.

A short while passed, and someone knocked on the door. Slair opened the door and saw it was the sisters who stood outside.

「What are you doing here?」 Slair blocked the door,「I haven’t settled with your father yet! 」

They knelt on the ground and took out a wooden box:「We don’t know how to compensate for our father’s sin. We would like to dedicate this to that warrior. This is a treasured passed down from our grandfather. He said it was from the dragons, made with pure gold, and could bring good fortune. Our father swore that the treasure could not be sold to others, no matter how poor we were. We steal it out of the house and hope you can spare our father’s life.」

Slair took the thing and closed the door:「Your father’s life is not upon me. Grieve will decide your father’s fate.」

Treasure from the dragons… Please don’t let it be something weird… Slair thought and opened the box. It was a lively golden ball with bat-like wings, and some magic circuits were engraved on it. As soon as the box opened, it flew out and slowly circled around Slair.

It’s better to be careful about things that you don’t recognize. Slair grabbed it and shut it back in the box.

【 SHOCKING 】 My Camera Bug Came Live after One Hundred Years.

I was so surprised when the camera bug sent images again! Then the screen turn blacked again! You know, I threw that camera down a hundred years ago! It didn’t function long before sending nothing but black images back. I thought it was broken and filed many complaints to customer services.

After receiving the images today… I think it might… it might be hidden by the humans

[Video]

№.0☆☆☆I was Shocked☆☆☆

Ah! What a cute human! Why does it look like a jadeite? I don’t recall any wild humans that look like this.

№.1☆☆☆==☆☆☆

All you need to care about is how cute humans are! Lick Lick Lick, lick the screen!

№.2☆☆☆==☆☆☆

OP, if it was treasured by humans… Did you get the pure gold deluxe vision camera bug?

№.3☆☆☆=w=☆☆☆

How did you know Σ(⊙▽⊙”a

№.4☆☆☆I was Shocked☆☆☆

Nonsense, that model was such a failure. A big chunk of gold flying in front of humans, of course, they would treasure it.

№.5☆☆☆=w=☆☆☆

Why does the human look familiar? I think there was a popular human pet named Slair… They looked exactly the same.

№.6☆☆☆==☆☆☆

But upstairs, Slair died. Only his owners refuse to accept the truth

№.7☆☆☆==☆☆☆

There is not much difference between pet humans and wild humans. However, this one does have the classic Jadeite look. I have never seen a black-hair, green eye human among the wild humans

№.8☆☆☆==☆☆☆

This is Slair! IT MUST BE SLAIR

№.9☆☆☆==☆☆☆

Could it be a coincidence?

№.10☆☆☆==☆☆☆

Now it’s the best time to do some comparison side by side. I have marked with red ink:

[Picture][Picture]

The left one is from Slair’s owner, and the right one is a screen shot from the video

№.11☆☆☆ShinyGoldBlingBling☆☆☆

So it is him!

№.12☆☆☆==☆☆☆

Wait a minute, how could a human fall from a floating island and not die?

№.13☆☆☆==☆☆☆

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAHH! SLAIR!! SLAIR!! DADDY WILL FINISHED THE CERTIFICATE ASAP!! WAIT FOR DADDY TO RESCUE YOU!!!!

№.14☆☆☆The Declaration of Flames☆☆☆

QAQ Slair! He doesn’t look so good QAQ. Oh, my poor baby Slair!!!!

№.15☆☆☆Blue is the BEST☆☆☆

OAO I… May me share some conspiracy… Maybe the video was made up op used some old forums photos and some other resources … It seems more likely that Slair is still alive.

№.16☆☆☆==☆☆☆

№.17☆☆☆The Declaration of Flames☆☆☆
