Chapter 165

Evening, the deep night sky fell like velvet, studded with diamond-like stars.

The bright moon hung high in the dome, spilling soft radiance onto the world.

Red Fox Castle, backyard open space.

Rustle, rustle, rustle.

Fields of wheat seedlings were shrouded in silvery moonlight, swaying gently in the night breeze.

Because the wheat field village was far away, at Xia Mingyu's request, a large piece of land was specially reclaimed here for planting wheat seedlings.

"Bountiful Harvest." He placed his hand on the moist soil, and the next moment, countless pitch-black flame clouds erupted from the youth's body.

The air trembled, and air waves raged.

It was as if an invisible force brushed across the field; the wheat stalks trembled violently, and the stem nodes grew rapidly like elongated shadows.

Green ears of grain pulled out from the leaf sheaths, rapidly enlarging, their color turning from light green to golden, and the wheat awns flashed with a metallic luster under the moonlight.

Within a few seconds, the entire vast field transformed from green, immature seedlings into a golden ocean, the wheat fragrance suddenly becoming rich, mixing with the moisture of the night dew and spreading out.

"Hoo!"

Exhausting his mana in one breath, the nearly fainting Xia Mingyu hurriedly took two bottles of mana potion with the caps opened from the blonde girl beside him, gulping them down at the same time, which made him feel much better.

Even so, he still felt dizzy and could only lean on Anliya, being carefully supported by her.

After all, mana also symbolizes vitality. After a mage exhausts their mana, they often need to rest for several days to fully recover.

Unlike him, who exhausts his mana every day and takes medicine to recover every day, being able to hold on until now is already because Xia Mingyu's constitution is special; if it were an ordinary mage, they would have been lying in bed unable to move long ago.

"This is truly incredible!"

The old woman standing beside the two with a lantern had her entire face covered in extreme shock at this moment.

Although Rosa had heard the Prince say that the ability he obtained after promoting to Harvest Sage was related to harvest, this ability called "Bountiful Harvest" was a bit too exaggerated!

Even the subsequent Morning Star rank "Ear-Whisperer" on the path of the Harvester would definitely not be able to achieve such an effect.

No, the Ear-Whisperer can only "talk" to crops, sense field diseases, or improve soil fertility; how could they directly and cleanly ripen crops on a large scale like the Prince?

Being able to do this across professions is simply a miracle!

And the Prince is only Morning Star now; if he waits until he promotes to Radiant Moon or even Cycle, wouldn't he be able to ripen all the crops in an entire region by himself?

In addition to amazement, a little unease also emerged in Rosa's heart.

She knew that if that King of Gluttony knew this, even if he had to overturn the entire Southern Region, he would spare no cost to find and kill the Prince.

Moreover, combined with the previous events of Twilight Tea and the rampaging named magic beast in the William territory, she had a premonition that a storm was coming.

Perhaps, new enemies had already arrived in the Southern Region and were lurking in the dark.

"Your Highness, are you carrying the Eye of Vigilance I gave you?" Rosa asked.

Hearing this, Xia Mingyu silently took out a pale blue crystal ball the size of a marble from his jacket pocket.

Inside the crystal ball floated an amber beast pupil that looked like a living thing, and the pupil would contract or expand with the changes in the light of the surrounding environment.

This is a magic item. Once mana is injected into it or it is squeezed hard, the Eye of Vigilance will immediately turn deep red. If strong killing intent appears in the surroundings, it will also turn deep red, and the stronger the killing intent, the deeper the red.

And this kind of Eye of Vigilance is taken from the eyes of a four-eyed magic beast, and they are usually in pairs of four.

Once one of the Eyes of Vigilance turns deep red, the other three will also turn deep red and tremble crazily in the direction of the first Eye of Vigilance that turned deep red.

"Your Highness, please be sure to carry it with you. Once you feel any danger approaching, don't hesitate to activate it immediately," Rosa said solemnly.

The other three Eyes of Vigilance are in the hands of the three Crescent rank knights: Kalen, Luo Yi, and Luo Lan.

Xia Mingyu nodded heavily.

He knew that Rosa would never say this without reason; this old woman must have sensed some danger approaching in the dark.

Still need to get stronger as soon as possible!

Xia Mingyu clenched his fists, but thinking of the extremely complicated magic diagram on the magic book, he silently loosened his palms.

Damn it, why is the way I get stronger not like the protagonist of a novel waving a sword and practicing boxing, but burning my brain like doing advanced math problems!

Thinking of this, Xia Mingyu, who was tired for a day and exhausted his mana, didn't want to move at all. In the end, Anliya carried him back to the bedroom with both hands, placed him on the bed, and covered him with the quilt before offering a goodnight kiss.

After the girl promoted to the Transcendent profession "King's Cook," although it was not a combat profession, she had enough strength to carry an adult man.

"Flowers on the wilderness, please tell me, why do people fight each other~"

The girl sat by the bed and hummed the song the Prince taught her softly. It wasn't until she saw the black-haired youth fall into a deep sleep that she pushed the door open and left quietly, feeling satisfied.

Being able to see the sleeping face of her beloved, she would definitely have a good dream tonight.

Twilight City, at the city gate.

Under the silvery full moon, the night-watch guards yawned with sleepiness. Even though the brazier beside them was burning with raging flames, it could not dispel their sleepiness.

Rustle, rustle, rustle.

A night breeze carrying a faint, exotic fragrance blew toward them.

The guards who smelled this exotic fragrance had their eyes gradually become hollow and dazed, and even the long spears they held tightly in their hands began to sway.

Swish, swish, swish!

Several pitch-black figures passed through the dazed guards at a terrifying speed that exceeded the limits of ordinary human reaction, stepped into Twilight City, and disappeared.

And with the dissipation of the exotic fragrance, those few guards with hollow eyes gradually came back to their senses.

After looking at each other for a moment, they straightened their waists again and held their spears to guard the city gate, completely unaware that someone had already sneaked into the city.

Those several black shadows shuttled across the tops of the houses like ghosts, their footsteps as light and agile as felines, making not a sound even when stepping on bricks and tiles.

Finally, they stopped at the top of a towering house, looking out at the huge Sage statue that had just been built in the center of the city square not far away, standing side by side with the Red Fire.

These figures were all dressed in black, cloaked, and masked, their faces unclear, revealing only pairs of eyes as sharp as wild beasts under the moonlight.

Or rather, those were beast pupils unique to beasts.

The leading figure's gaze was fixed on the face of the Sage statue, as if he wanted to carve it into his heart without missing a single detail.

The emerald great sword whistled through the air, vowing to cut the witch in front in two.

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

The compass needle trembled crazily and finally pointed far away in one direction—Red Fox Castle.

In the city square in the middle of the night, the magician hummed a little tune while walking into the open area.

He looked around, confirmed that there was no one and no prying eyes within hundreds of meters, and then pointed his magic wand at the ground.

The next moment, as if performing magic, a red and white striped circus tent rose from the ground, and it grew larger and larger, soon becoming so huge that it occupied one-tenth of the entire city square.

And on the top of the tent, the words "Monster Circus" were embroidered in blood-red thread.

After the magician looked at it with satisfaction, he slowly lifted the curtain and walked in.

"Come out, my circus members."

He opened his arms quite excitedly and shouted.

The next moment, "monsters" suddenly appeared in the empty tent: a woman with six arms, a two-headed giant, a three-eyed person, a mouse girl...
