Chapter 1300: Chapter 1300
"Before we left, the Gray Cloak Scholar had already given us a credential, which we just needed to bring to the Wolf Blood Queen, and she would give us a small place where we could settle and live."
"As for the 'Gray Cloak Scholar,' he didn't leave with us when the insect swarm invaded the fortress. Instead, he went deep underground within the Stone Castle, a place of intense heat leading to the subterranean lava river. Only he could withstand such high temperatures, and according to the Gray Cloak Scholar's instructions, he would sleep underground for another ten years before waking again."
The survival and hiding ability of the Grey Feather Species enabled them to endure fierce conflicts. Tilan nodded slightly, showing understanding and refrained from further questioning why the 'Gray Cloak Scholar' didn't escape with everyone. It seemed to be their internal survival philosophy—not putting all hope in one basket.
"As for what happens next..." The few Grey Feather Species present hesitated; they wanted to invite this young woman to join them, but feared offending her. After all, the power Hexia had demonstrated was beyond their imagination; they couldn't even guess her Sequence, her strength, or anything.
Sensing their thoughts, Hexia didn't mind, only gently shook her head.
"I probably can't accompany you from here on." She anticipated having to bring Loloria and some war machines later, making explanations too troublesome.
The Grey Feather Species immediately expressed understanding, not daring to dissuade her, and stated that Hexia could contact them anytime she needed.
"We have a complete set of communication devices here that we can give to you." Several Grey Feather Species carefully carried out an iron box containing a generator, broadcasting signal transmitter, telegraph machine, and corresponding receiver apparatus.
"These things." The young woman tilted her head in thought, believing they could be useful, and nodded in acceptance.
Afterward, Hexia parted from the surviving personnel of the Shilin Mountain Castle, watching them continue westward, as she flew off, holding Ores's hand, to return to Loloria and the others.
Minutes later, after high-speed flight at high altitude, the two landed. It was already nighttime, and Sura and the others were dining in the camp, showing no concern about Hexia encountering trouble.
Just as they expected, Hexia had easily brought Ores back.
"It's an ultra-rare elf~" Loloria circled around Ores, her gaze filled with curiosity. Updates are released by novｅlfire.net
"In our era, elves had almost disappeared, only newborn races imitating elves, lacking the natural freshness of the original." Loloria happily explained to Tilan, then hugged Ores's arm to get a closer look.
For Ores, her curiosity about the mechanical girl was mutual, and the two sat together, examining each other, feeling an indescribable intrigue.
"You two get along well tonight and sleep." Seeing the two having a good time together, Hexia felt more at ease.
"Hexia, do you have other plans tonight?" Sura noticed as Hexia spoke.
"Yes." Hexia stood up, gazing into the distant night sky where flames had already extinguished.
"The insects haven't been completely dealt with yet; at least we need to find their breeding nest."
As the flames flickered, the young woman gently brushed her hair from the side of her ear, expressing her thoughts.
"Since I have the ability to do this, why not try to solve this problem completely?" Saying this, she felt an entirely different sensation.
In a civilized society with complete order, she often just needed to solve the current issue, and subsequent investigations and trials were conducted by the nation's machinery, with everyone taught from a young age not to overdo things, to know when to stop.
But now she was fully aware of the nature of this world; if she didn't do this, who would she leave it to?
"So many people have died; we can't let these insects continue to live."
Now she could enter the threshold of Sequence 7 at any moment, and she wanted to see how far she could go with her full capabilities.
After leaving the strictly ordered world, many of the peculiarities in Hexia's being finally began to gradually unveil themselves. Just as the Saintess of the Water Feruceline had said, whether she would become the Supreme Songstress of the future or another rising Black Sun remained an unknown.
