Chapter 935: 590
“The miniature ‘Shinisara’ was somewhat adorable.”
Like a figurine, it hung along the branches.”
Appearing before the two of them.”
For Fang Hao, it was nothing new; he had noticed the changing ‘Shinisara’ when the canopy shook.”
But Eira let out a soft cry, clearly startled.”
It was only when she saw that the form was ‘Shinisara’ that she calmed down.”
...
“My lord, the army of Furious Lion City has withdrawn, and the City Lord of Bronze Bull City is preparing for the upcoming negotiation,” said the miniature ‘Shinisara’.”
Fang Hao nodded, “All right, once the negotiation time is confirmed, let me know, and I’ll send Anjia over.”
Given the current situation,
a peaceful resolution seems unlikely.”
Whether it’s the decade-long feud between Furious Lion City and the Fairy Clan or Anjia’s resentment towards her past experiences,
the negotiation could more easily lead to war.”
Especially since the Orcs have always believed in survival of the fittest.
The strong have the right to speak and possess more privileges.
Furious Lion City might not consider itself at a disadvantage, thinking that the alliance between Dreamy Forest and Tasgo City is just between weaklings.
Obviously, the negotiations will not be successful then.”
But Fang Hao still chose to negotiate,
firstly, to delay the start of the war.”
He tried to make the start of the war coincide with the end of the war at the Great Cemetery of Odys.”
Secondly, it was also to show other subordinate forces an attitude.”
Hoping for peace is still the impression Fang Hao, as a lord, needs to maintain.”
Otherwise, having wars frequently at Eight Peaks Mountain, the Great Cemetert, and now Furious Lion City,
could easily create an image of being overly belligerent.”
Therefore, negotiations had to take place, even though he already knew it was not likely to resolve peacefully.”
“Understood,” Shinisara said, and then the miniature body quickly disappears.”
It transformed back into its original branches.
After a while,
Eira finally spoke, “Master, does this tree also have the ability to transmit messages?”
“I suppose so,” Fang Hao was somewhat uncertain too.”
Being able to transform into the form of ‘Shinisara’ must be another ability of the oak tree.”
“Kin of the Oak,”
Even though there’s such a distance between Dreamy Forest and the main city here, it can still transform into Shinisara using some kind of connection to transmit messages.”
Or rather, this oak tree is a part of Shinisara itself.”
It can freely transfer consciousness.”
This is quite convenient for message transmission; they can be conveyed in real time.
It seems somewhat similar to my own ability called ‘God’s Presence.’
The distance is even farther and the effect is even better.”
I also have to be careful from now on interacting with Eira and others here.”
It would be awkward to be caught.”
After discussing matters of the Dreamy Forest,
he continued to lie on Eira’s lap and read the novel he had bought.”
Ah! The weather is really nice.”
…
After lunch, he came back from the Skeleton craftsman.
On the way, he saw the innkeeper Winnie, holding a lampshade.”
“Lord,” Winnie greeted with a smile.”
“Good afternoon, Innkeeper,” Fang Hao responded with a smile too.”
Spending a winter in the main city,
Winnie’s skin had not only become more tender, but her figure had also become much fuller, not like the rural innkeeper she was before.”
She seemed like a ripe, juicy peach.”
Seeing that Fang Hao still referred to her as Innkeeper, Winnie rolled her eyes at him.”
Then she said, “Sir, the lampshade in my room is broken, could you help me change it? Those Skeletons are too clumsy.”
So, it was the lampshade she needed to be changed.
“All right, let’s go.”
Winnie didn’t have her own place to stay, just a room within a building.”
Fang Hao had set a rule for people within his domain that heroes could have their own detached houses, private hot springs, gardens, and some privileges.”
Maids could do the same, as long as they could become heroes.
Then they could move out of here, owning their own detached houses.”
This was also the reason why the maids kept urging Anjia to train every day.
Winnie was no exception; she too had been training all winter, but she wasn’t improving fast and was now a level three warrior.
Following Winnie into the room,
the room was very clean, with a bed and a set of table and chairs.”
On the table were also pen and paper, on which were written some of Winnie’s daily recorded spirit recipes.”
“Is it this lamp?” Fang Hao pointed to one above their heads.”
A single Nightstone.”
The Nightstone chandelier had a shade.”
When resting, you could lower the shade to cover the Nightstone.”
It acted like turning off the light.”
“Yes,” Winnie said.”
Fang Hao nodded, pulling a chair over to underneath the chandelier.”
This kind of task, ordinary Skeletons truly couldn’t do.”
You order them to dismantle the lamp, Skeletons could complete it, but if you tell them to remove the shade above,
the Skeletons might not unhook it properly and instead just yank it down.”
Standing on the chair, Fang Hao looked up and began to remove the already broken lampshade.”
And below, Winnie, who was holding the chair steady, shifted her eyes slightly.”
“I’ll hold it steady for you.”
“Great!”
Winnie placed her hands on his legs.”
However, halfway through,
Fang Hao felt a soft sensation coming from his legs.”
He saw Winnie leaning on his thigh, her delicate hands slipping under his clothes.”
