Chapter 1031: Wengfalusuo 3.0 (77)

The dragon maid of the Xiao Lin family.

"Why did Mimi suddenly become able to speak?" Tuo'er's thoughts began to drift wildly in the sky, curious, "…Could it be because she originally knew how to speak? Or perhaps she was once a human, and Fuli cast some magic on her to turn her into this?"

Tuo'er recalled the children's picture book he bought for Kangna; she had once curiously flipped a few pages, which read that a human prince had once been turned into a frog by magic, and then, through a princess's kiss, turned back into a prince from the frog.

……Could Mimi be the same?

Xiao Lin leaned on the sofa, holding an unopened bottle of beer:

Danheng guessed that Mimi was related to the Star God Fuli, and that Mimi's purpose was to collect the scattered memories of Wengfalusuo; thinking backwards, it is highly likely that Mimi's purpose in collecting these memories is to serve the Star God, for this planet is very important to Fuli. Xiao Lin walked to the fridge, took out a can of chilled beer, "…But then again, what magic does this backward planet Wengfalusuo possess? It's clearly a civilization that even the universe cannot reach…"

Tuo'er tilted his head: "Perhaps it's because of those chaotic substances? Those substances isolate the universe from Wengfalusuo, causing even the Star God to be unable to obtain the memories of humans and Titans there. Fortunately, the train crew pried open a gap, allowing the Star God to send its retinue to Wengfalusuo."

"But Ouluonis keeps calling 'mother' and 'heavenly father' over and over, making it hard to believe it doesn't know the Star God; moreover, it knows Mimi and seems very familiar with her, letting her follow the Star to seek her mother's whereabouts. If that mother isn't the Star, who else could it be?"

"Xiadie: "I don't fully understand the principle, but if thinking this way can put you at ease… then I support your view.""

""Thank you." Standing on the balcony, Baie gazed into the distance, "The far side is the Deep Abyss… ah, I just remembered, I never got a chance to voice that question back then.""

""In the Hall of the Just Scales——when Ouluonis used its riddles to trip us up——then, why did you stop me, Miss Xiadie?""

""" Xiadie took a deep breath, then answered solemnly: "Because I believe there must be another solution—'something heavier than Wengfalusuo's fate'—this question is too cruel and unfair for you.""

"Baie: "You should know, if Danheng hadn't found a solution in time, I would still have tried.""

""I understand; back then the situation allowed no hesitation, and I stopped you only as a reflex…" Saying this, Xiadie breathed a sigh of relief, "…Thank goodness they were both there.""

""Yes, thank goodness they were there.""

""Are you still thinking back to that time, Lord Baie?""

""Every moment, every second." Baie lowered his head with a complex expression, "Just now, I lied in front of the two demigods—I told them that all I have in mind now is the mission of the Golden Heir—I don't know if I can keep it hidden from Aglaea's golden thread.""

""No one can deceive her, my lord. For our lies, she simply chooses to turn a blind eye.""

""Indeed, it's just a foolish stroke of luck." Baie's shoulders slumped a little, like a leaf falling from a branch, "I often wonder, 'Can someone as mediocre as me also become a hero'? I thought defeating Nicadoli would quiet the doubts in my mind… but instead it has become even more noisy.""

——

Original God.

"Mediocre…?"

"Good heavens, if even the great hero who slew a god considers himself mediocre, what does that make me? Am I not even worse than mediocre, merely wasting air and food?" Yakeda clutched her head, her face filled with shock.

……Lord Baie really is underestimating himself too much, isn't he?!

"Yakeda." Naifuer's voice floated lightly from the room.

"Ah……here! Boss!"

"Don't sell yourself short—if you're not even mediocre, then hiring you as the sole official employee of the Secret Archives would make my judgment terribly poor. Not just anyone can become a staff member of the Secret Archives, you know."

"Okay, okay!" After the boss suddenly praised her, Yakeda felt a bit embarrassed and scratched her head, "I just… thought that guy named Baie was a bit too lacking in confidence—he's a Golden Heir after all, so strong, even accomplished the feat of slaying a god! I don't understand why someone like him would think himself mediocre."

Naifuer didn't answer her right away, but instead asked back, "Didn't you just feel mediocre yourself?"

Yakeda stared for a moment: "Boss, you're overpraising me—I can't slay a god."

"Heh……

Naifuer in the room also seemed not intending to continue on this topic; as the saying goes, "the onlooker sees clearly while the party involved is confused," Yakeda perhaps hasn't realized that her rashness and arrogance, courage and kindness, have already helped her escape the vulgar label of "mediocre."

After all, which ordinary person would dare attack the Moon Hunters in a crisis?

——

"Xiadie whispered comfort: "I can't find the right words right now… but I know you're not mediocre, Lord Baie. Wandi often jokingly calls you the 'Savior'… I think his tone isn't all joking."

""I suppose I should give up useless thinking, keep my mind blank until the time of the ritual arrives……" Baie showed a nostalgic expression, "I've used this trick before—before Professor Tibao's history exam—piles of stone tablets and documents stacked like a mountain, who could review all that? Better to accept fate early and cherish more time for sword practice and play."

""Then… how did the exam turn out?"

""Scores? I've long forgotten—I only remember Professor Tibao making me clean the Golden Heir's bathhouse for a week, and not allowing anyone to lend a hand."

"Xiadie couldn't help but chuckle: "So Professor Tibao also has this strict side…… Lord Baie, please keep a calm mind; I think you'll be fine."

""Thank you, Miss Xiadie. I'd like to just stay a while longer, trying not to think about those troublesome matters, since I can't figure out any outcome anyway." Baie gazed toward KefaLe in the distance, "Lately, the scenery of my homeland, Aimimi xie, keeps flashing before my eyes."

""Those folks in Xuanfengcheng have mastered incredible technology… If only I could split my body and soul, then I could at any time let my spirit leave my body and fly back to that familiar patch of grass in my hometown."

""Only there can I briefly enjoy a moment of peace."
