Chapter 60: Teaching Dark Combat Aura

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Wilber Liszt Manor.

One could hear the sound of owl wings flapped in the wind. The strange-eyed owl flew in a graceful arc and landed in the hall at a breakneck speed; there was an envelope in its beak.

There were more than a dozen farm owners in the hall. One of them was a middle-aged man with fiery red hair and a beard. He reached out and took the envelope from the owl’s beak. He placed a small dried fish in a copper bowl and put it in front of the owl.

When the owl lowered its head and started to pick at the dried fish in the bowl, the red-haired middle-aged man turned his head and smiled at the people in the hall. “This is a bronze tier owl, and it is also my old friend, Folson’s beloved pet! It loves dried fish. If you feed it once, it will allow you to pet its head. You will definitely fall in love with this feeling.”

Zangwill opened the envelope and finished reading the letter; then, he smiled.

“Folson said that they would arrive the day after tomorrow. He brought three bronze tier and two iron tier mages. In addition to that, he is a silver tier mage. He has a method to boost his spell to a gold tier spell temporarily. He only needs one spell to destroy the Blackmoon Castle! Such a powerful team of mages, and we’re only spending 500 gold coins on them. Isn’t that a good deal? Don’t you think so too?”

“Zangwill, what you said makes sense. I am willing to pay a portion of the 500 gold coins.”

“Me, too.”

The other farmers responded one after another; their expression had softened.

Zangwill was with a silver tier mage and had managed to invite him there. They had to contribute to the cause.

It had been two days since their last meeting. It would typically take four days to travel to Monte Town. However, the strange-eyed owl had completed its round-trip in two days. That was the power of a bronze tier magical beast.

“Master Wilber, we have gathered everyone in the manor—about 5000 people! Those who intend to join Blackmoon Castle or those who are blinded by benefits have been thrown in prison.”

A fat farmer turned his gaze toward Wilber, who sat at the head of the table with a gloomy expression, and said, “I’ve already equipped the soldiers with the best equipment that I can provide. I guarantee that every tenth person will have a piece of iron tier equipment! At the same time, I’ve also gathered a group of 100 iron tier warriors and equipped them with a complete set of iron tier equipment. Some of them are even qualified to use bronze tier equipment.”

Among the 100 iron tier warriors, there were 20 bronze tier warriors. They were the elites from different farms.

Many of those guards had wanted to join Blackmoon Castle. However, some farmers had promised to give them 100 Rainbow Phoenix Chicken eggs each if they could break into Blackmoon Castle, and they had agreed.

The farmers did not even consider if Blackmoon Castle had that many Rainbow Phoenix Chicken eggs.

They had a large force—5000 men, 100 elites, and a strong team of mages. No one would be able to defeat them.

How many men did Blackmoon Castle have? Was it 30 men? Or was it 50 men? Those farmers could only think of how the castle would be stained with blood in only two days.

“Well done! I’ve sent someone to deliver a letter to the border count at the Fairy Castle yesterday to ask for his help. I believe we’ll get a reply soon.”

Wilber nodded in satisfaction.

As soon as he finished his words, a muffled bang was heard; everyone there trembled. Even the owl, who had lowered its head to eat the dried fish, raised its crest and widened its round eyes; it had sensed some kind of danger.

The ground cracked from the point closest to Wilber; it revealed a hole that did not belong in that world. A giant palm with flowers, grass and rock veins appeared in mid-air; it was icy-cold, but the words were burning.

[I have sent Nightingale, a gold tier warrior. She is at the border. You can seek her help.]

The words burned for a moment before they quickly disappeared.

Everyone present, including Wilber, held their breath. They did not even dare to breathe.

They only relaxed after the words had disappeared. Then, someone said, “Making words appear in the air from thousands of kilometers away—is this Count Sylvan’s power? I heard that he is a platinum tier elite who specializes in fire, earth, and water-elemental magic. Apart from that, he also uses mysterious spatial magic. It seems that the rumors are true.”

“I think a platinum tier mage can’t affect another space from thousands of kilometers away! The one who carved the words must have been the count’s magical beast. It’s a gold tier rock giant that can move underground quickly,” another person said in awe.

“No matter what, the border count has given us a response. This time, we have a gold tier warrior and a team of silver tier mages. Even if Blackmoon Castle has a gold tier magical beast to guard it, it won’t be enough to defeat them.”

Wilber’s expression was wild as he waved his arms excitedly. “We’ll attack Blackmoon Castle in two days. I hope that you can keep your men in line and not leak the news to anyone else! We also need to look for this woman, Nightingale.”

..

At the Blackmoon Castle.

“Your posture is not right; raise your hands a little higher. It is best to use your calves to move your waist and then move your shoulders. Then you’ll be able to burst with more strength.”

“The cultivation technique that you’re practicing and the way you circulate your combat aura is too simple! If you can control your combat aura to consciously enter tiny places like your fingers or the ends of your hair, if you persevere, the depth of your combat aura will increase by several times fold.”

Allen, Liszt, and about 30 guards were on a huge training field in front of the castle. They were posed in various positions, and Nightingale was there to comment on them.

The woman sat on a bench as she peeled a Rainbow Phoenix Chicken egg. Then she stuffed the boiled egg into her mouth and licked her lips in satisfaction.

Watson had not lied to her. She had a constant supply of Rainbow Phoenix Chicken eggs daily, so she did not keep to herself. Instead, she was there to share her experience. It had only been two days, but the guards had sudden enlightenment. Their strength had increased by a lot, and some of them were already on the verge of breaking through to the silver tier.

“Nightingale, what do you think of my men?” Watson asked proudly as he stood behind Nightingale.

“Not bad. As long as they persevere, they can become elites,” Nightingale said without a glance backward.

Watson smiled; he was happy. Nightingale was the border count’s subordinate. One could only imagine the guard’s strength if she would call them elites.

Watson lowered his head; he noticed the dozens of colorful Rainbow Phoenix Chicken eggs in the basket next to Nightingale’s hand. His heart ached as he complained, “Miss Nightingale, I may have to consider reducing your pay. I can’t afford you eating the Rainbow Phoenix Chicken eggs as a snack, no matter how rich I am.”

Nightingale could eat a lot; she consumed at least 100 eggs a day. He wondered why she was so thin if she could eat that much.

That was not the point. The point was that the Rainbow Phoenix chicken could only lay 1,000 eggs a day, and there were 10,000 eggs in the house. After he deducted those that his family ate and the rewards he would give to his guards, they only had some left for sale, but it was not much.

A Rainbow Phoenix Chicken egg cost ten gold coins, and 100 eggs were 1,000 gold coins. Therefore, Nightingale did not consume eggs but gold.

“As a man, oh, wait, you’re only a boy! Well, don’t be so stingy. Perhaps I can share my dark combat aura with you.”

Nightingale rolled her eyes, but she did not eat any more eggs. Instead, she stood up.

A swirl of dark combat aura appeared in her left hand; it was like a shadow that swayed unsteadily or like an abyss that could devour everything. “I cultivate a rare dark combat aura, and the cultivation method is the gold tier Abyss Shadow Demon’s technique. Once you make it to the gold tier and above, you’ll be able to control the shadow and make yourself invisible. A gold tier cultivation method for 100 eggs a day sounds reasonable, right?”
