Chapter 56: Visitors from the Kingdom of Ming
Under the vast sky, a large magical airship sailed slowly from the clouds.
The sun had already set into the western cloud valley, and only the golden fiery clouds could vaguely illuminate the silhouette of the magical airship.
But even though the clouds obscured the heavens and earth, they could not hide the elegant appearance of the magical airship… Its streamlined hull and wing-like gliding paddles made the magical airship like a whale living in the sea of clouds, full of an ineffable elegance.
After a moment of gliding, the airship slowly docked, and the stabilizing rods descended. A welcoming party led by a dean with white hair and beard greeted them.
“Welcome, Your Highness Ruo Hui Gong, to C. Academy.”
“Thank you. I also sincerely bless the future of C. Academy.”
A man of imposing stature walked down from the airship.
He was very tall, at least 2 meters tall. However, to everyone’s surprise, he was wearing heavy medieval knight’s armor.
Although the armor was exquisitely crafted and bore royal patterns, the full-face helmet concealed the man’s face, leaving only a pair of eyes visible, making it impossible to discern his expression.
“Your Highness Ruo Hui Gong, is there anything we can help you with during your visit to C. Academy?”
Facing the man, the white-haired dean appeared very respectful.
“Hmm, I want to visit the Temple of Clarity.”
“The Temple of Clarity…?”
“What is it, Dean? Is there any inconvenience?”
“No, it’s just… there are some issues with the current situation in the temple. If you wish to visit, we need to make arrangements.”
At the same time, Elusias watched the scene from afar.
Although she couldn’t hear what the dean was saying to Ruo Hui Gong, she could roughly deduce the dean’s words from his lip movements.
The white-haired dean was saying that the Temple of Clarity could not be activated tonight and that it would have to wait until tomorrow.
Ruo Hui Gong’s actions seemed to indicate understanding.
So…
“Elusias?”
The voice of the foolish maid jolted Elusias’s thoughts back to reality… Although she had already read the lips, being suddenly interrupted by Lonis made the black-haired girl displeased:
“Lonis, you’d better say something useful. If you just want to go to the restroom, don’t blame me for being rude.”
“Ah, no!”
Lonis shook her head. In fact, she had also seen Elusias observing, and only approached her after she had finished thinking: “Um, earlier… Senior Zhisheng Luo has already left.”
“Eh?”
“She was called away by a senior from another year because of an urgent matter, so the task of receiving distinguished guests has to be handed over to us.”
“Distinguished guest, what is her name?”
“It seems to be Miss Yue Linyi, the private secretary of the King of Ruo Hui Gong.”
“Oh…”
“And the senior said that although Miss Linyi does not hold a formal position, her relationship with the King is unusual, and she is very likely to be…”
At this point, Lonis mumbled.
It seemed that this King Ruo Hui Gong was also a lecher. He knew to choose beautiful girls as his secretaries.
“Taking care of the secretary? Hmph, that’s perfect.”
“Eh?”
“A moment later, Lonis, don’t say much. Just be like before and act like a simpleton.”
This was Lonis’s first time on Ruin Island, the site of C. Academy.
Even though it was indoors, as she walked through it, Lonis felt a very unique sensation… It seemed that an indescribable energy flowed through the air, making her own Blue Cells (magic power) incredibly active.
The opulent red carpet and gilded walls all appeared so luxurious and pure.
Elusias’s expression was as usual, and she simply followed the task assigned by her senior and walked directly towards Miss Yue Linyi’s room.
This was a three-story guesthouse located in the woods, with a total of 24 rooms – and Miss Yue Linyi’s room was right next to King Ruo Hui Gong’s. As they passed by, they could even see the guards standing at the door.
They were fully armed and wore light armor: this armor seemed to be enchanted, ensuring combat effectiveness while perfectly outlining the strong and powerful figures of the female guards.
Seeing this, Lonis felt a little envious of King Ruo Hui Gong.
This was what it meant to be a man, this was what it meant to enjoy oneself!
When going out, not only was the scenery boundless, but he also had an escort of beautiful women… If only she could be like that.
Oh, right…
It seemed that at the end of my journey to become a hero, the old king was about to pass the throne to me.
Then I could become king and be powerful!
No, let’s not think about such things…
Lonis suddenly felt a little guilty. If her wife were Elusias, even if she really became king, she would definitely not have the chance to “flirt with women.”
(Alas, but what’s the point of thinking about these things… I’m a girl now, let alone being king, I’d be lucky if I wasn’t pushed around!)
…
…
What you can’t get is the most painful. Lonis could only follow Elusias with a dejected face and knock on Miss Yue Linyi’s door.
“Miss Yue Linyi, we are service volunteers sent by the academy.”
“Mm, please come in.”
Pushing the door open, Lonis was stunned by the scene that greeted her eyes.
So, beautiful!
Sitting on the bed was a silver-haired woman of unparalleled beauty.
Her features were delicate and beautiful, her nose was slender and high, and as Lonis gazed into her light blue pupils, she felt as if she had plunged into the vast ocean and was completely captivated.
Her skin was as white as snow, her full bosoms stood confidently, and especially her long silver hair cascaded down to her waist, perfectly accentuating the curves of a mature woman’s waist.
Her demeanor was graceful and elegant, calm and skilled. Every gesture exuded a unique feminine aura.
How to describe it?
Perhaps Lonis could have imagined Elusias looking like this before she met Elusias.
A bit commanding, but also a bit gentle, she seemed easy to get along with and very capable herself!
…
However, perhaps Lonis was staring too intently.
Elusias frowned and twisted Lonis’s arm, then said, “Miss Linyi, please forgive my classmate for her rudeness. She has never seen such a beautiful woman as you.”
“Mm-hmm, thank you for the compliment… But you say I’m beautiful? I think you yourself are very beautiful.”
“Eh?”
“Your jet-black long hair, combined with those eyes that burn like a never-ending flame, make you very likable… It’s just that perhaps the maid outfit doesn’t suit you, and it feels a little out of place.”
The silver-haired woman looked up, her eyes fixed on Elusias.
All girls like to have their beauty praised, and Elusias was no exception: “Thank you for the compliment, Miss Linyi. Do you need any extra services? We will do our best~”
“Oh, there are extra services? What are they?”
“For example, my classmate Lonis here is particularly skilled at foot massages. If you’d like, Lonis can certainly do it.”
“Eh?!”
Lonis was startled… She was not skilled at foot massages, and had never even touched a girl’s little feet.
What plan was Elusias carrying out?
Was she trying to seduce the female secretary to gather intelligence?
…
Just as Lonis was feeling a little scared, and even her nose started to bleed.
Miss Yue Linyi shook her head and politely declined: “A foot massage service? Although it sounds very nice, now… is not the time for me to enjoy it.”
“Uh?”
“Tonight, I still have important matters to discuss with King Ruo Hui Gong. Could you please ask the two volunteer students to prepare some supper at 8 o’clock tonight? It would be great if there was rock sugar pear.”
Miss Yue Linyi looked at the two of them and said sincerely.
