Chapter 54
Chapter 54: I Had No Idea I Was Part of Your Play
Two hundred years ago, people signed the “Sivihus Empire Treaty” with Demon King Sivihus, establishing the permanently neutral Sivihus Empire, where divine sect forces were forbidden from interfering.
The area directly above where Demon King Sivihus slumbers was designated as the Royal Capital district. Thanks to the powerful magic emanating from the Demon King, young people under 26 in the Royal Capital area have greater divine affinity—meaning they level up faster.
The deeper into the dungeon, the more magical beasts are affected by the Demon King’s overflowing magic, making them increasingly powerful.
The convergence of three forces—Vielotti’s and Edelina’s guard units, plus Bernice—had already awakened certain high-level magical beasts in the dungeon’s depths.
But right now, besides those high-level beasts, one young lady was beginning to get angry.
Edelina followed behind Feilin and Vielotti, watching them walk together, her heart already in turmoil.
Those blue-gray eyes flashed with dangerous light, and even the surrounding air began to heat up.
“Lady Edelina…”
Aid looked worriedly at his young mistress. The usually gentle lady seemed like a different person at this moment.
“That Vielotti, how dare she get so close to Feilin…”
Edelina bit her lip, unconsciously clenching her fists.
Her blue-gray eyes flashed with sourness and unwillingness, but she still forced herself to calm down.
“Lady Edelina, so we…”
“We’ll stick to the plan.”
She couldn’t meet Vielotti face-to-face now. Though both guard units were aware of each other’s presence, as long as no one met directly, they could maintain this tacit understanding of non-interference.
But once she and Vielotti came face-to-face, even if she said nothing, there would be a risk of conflict and friction between the two sides.
It seemed she couldn’t make a good impression on Feilin today.
Then, just like how Feilin silently sacrificed for her, she would silently sacrifice for him.
…
“Today’s luck is really good.”
Feilin sat on the ground, recording the magical beast before him.
For some reason, today felt like receiving the Demon King’s blessing—whatever the exam tested, he encountered those exact magical beasts.
And when the magical beasts came before him, they suddenly seemed to lose their courage, cooperatively demonstrating the behavioral patterns mentioned in textbooks.
Like the magical beast before him now—a three-meter-tall gargoyle that should normally be extremely fierce.
But it stood obediently in place, even following textbook order to display corresponding behavioral and attack patterns.
“Right, its attack method uses its…”
With a live demonstration, Feilin quickly understood the textbook’s meaning.
He carefully recorded in his notebook, completely unaware of the pained expression on the gargoyle’s face.
This was probably the hardest day of its life as a magical beast.
It had been sleeping peacefully in its den when suddenly over a hundred people swarmed in and drove it out.
The gargoyle ran and ran, finding several dozen more people ahead, so it quickly changed direction.
Finally arriving here, seeing only three humans, it was about to vent its fury when a cold voice suddenly echoed in its head.
“If you don’t obey, I’ll kill you.”
That masked girl was so intimidating, and she could communicate directly with it!
Humiliating! I, a fifth-rank magical beast gargoyle, having to serve as a human model one day.
“Change position.”
The gargoyle immediately switched poses, eyes full of flattery toward the masked girl.
Of these three humans before it, only the masked girl was standing—the remaining man and woman sat on the ground.
What’s with that pink-haired girl bringing her mate here for a picnic? Giving him water and feeding him things—do you need to reproduce right in front of me, you gargoyle? Damn it!
Vielotti knelt beside Feilin, watching the obediently posing gargoyle with some surprise.
Someone was definitely controlling this—her gaze fell on the masked girl.
Communicating with magical beasts required extremely high-level divine arts.
And mastering such high-level divine arts meant being a high-ranking member of the divine sect.
Though Vielotti had several powerful guards hidden nearby, none could make a fifth-rank magical beast pose like a pet at will.
This person was strong—stronger than anyone in her guard unit.
But why did she feel this person was somehow familiar, like she’d seen her somewhere before?
And why would someone this powerful willingly team up with a useless adventurer like Feilin?
