Coral's words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples in Tao Yao's heart.
Her eyes flickered, and thoughts surged like the tide.
This news was not entirely unexpected for Tao Yao.
Earlier, through the observations of the system fairy Xiao Xiao, she had learned that the protagonist group had discovered a lead on an unknown giant disaster beast.
Tao Yao had also mentioned this news in a previous livestream.
However, what surprised Tao Yao was that the protagonist group from Manju Academy had actually contacted the Sea Kingdom, and the Sea Kingdom had coincidentally reached out to her and Forget-Me-Not...
I can only say, what a strange coincidence.
Just as Tao Yao fell into contemplation, Coral continued:
"Because the location is very close to our Sea Kingdom, Manju Academy hopes we can join forces with them to check the situation."
"Considering that the Sea Kingdom had previously received help from them, I tentatively accepted this proposal and am preparing to send someone over to investigate the situation with them."
Coral's gaze shifted back and forth between Tao Yao and Forget-Me-Not, her tone laced with a hint of expectation:
"However, before making a final decision, I thought of both of you. As fairy hunters specialized in capturing fairies, I believe you wouldn't want to miss such a rare opportunity, would you?"
"After all, such a massive fairy power index likely indicates the emergence of a powerful fairy."
"It might even be the very fairy you two are looking for."
Upon hearing Coral's words, Tao Yao and Forget-Me-Not exchanged glances.
Forget-Me-Not broke the silence first, murmuring:
"Only a powerful fairy would possess such a massive fairy power index..."
Suddenly, an excited light burst forth in Forget-Me-Not's eyes. She eagerly grasped Tao Yao's arm, her voice slightly trembling with excitement:
"Mom, we absolutely have to go! This might really be a fairy!!"
Forget-Me-Not's excitement was evident,
Her eyes sparkled with hopeful light, and her face wore an expression of eager anticipation.
She held onto Tao Yao's hand tightly, as if afraid of missing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Faced with the emotionally charged Forget-Me-Not, Tao Yao's expression showed some hesitation.
She furrowed her brow slightly, glancing back and forth between Coral and Forget-Me-Not.
She weighed the pros and cons of this undertaking, considering the potential risks and rewards.
Finally, Tao Yao gently nodded, her voice calm and firm:
"Alright, let's go take a look."
Hearing Tao Yao's response, Coral smiled with relief.
She nodded elegantly and said:
"With the two of you joining us, our team will undoubtedly be stronger."
"If we do encounter a fairy, we can eliminate the threat in its cradle. This is also a good thing for the safety of the Sea Kingdom."
After listening to Coral's words, Tao Yao asked again:
"So, when do we depart?"
Coral smiled slightly and replied:
"Considering the urgency of the matter, I suggest we act as soon as possible."
"If you two have no other arrangements, we can depart early tomorrow morning. I have arranged transportation to take everyone close to the destination."
She paused and added:
"Of course, if you need time to prepare, we can appropriately delay the departure time."
"After all, in the face of the unknown, thorough preparation is necessary."
Tao Yao and Forget-Me-Not exchanged a glance and almost simultaneously nodded.
"Let's depart early tomorrow morning,"
Tao Yao said, "We are ready."
Coral nodded in satisfaction,
"Then it's settled."
...
At the border between the Sea Kingdom and the Dawn Land,
A peaceful little village nestled among the mountains.
Surrounded by lush forests, a clear stream meandered past the village's edge.
At that moment,
The sun was setting in the west.
Golden sunlight bathed the rooftops of the village, adding a touch of warmth and tranquility to this serene place.
However, this tranquility was soon shattered.
A black car slowly drove into the village.
The vehicle finally stopped in front of an ancient building in the center of the village.
In the open space in front of the building, a group of people dressed in black robes had been waiting for some time.
Their attire indicated that they were members of the Apostle Sect.
As the car came to a stop, the driver's side door opened, and a young woman dressed in a neat maid outfit stepped out of the vehicle.
Her movements were graceful and precise, as if every step had been carefully calculated.
Seeing the maid get out of the car, Black Rose displayed a look of surprise.
She opened her arms, her face adorned with a warm smile as she approached the maid.
"Little maid, long time no see!"
Black Rose said enthusiastically, seemingly wanting to give her a hug.
However, the maid Shiro said slowly:
"Lady Black Rose, please do not come near me."
Her expression remained indifferent, devoid of any fluctuations in her gaze,
As if the person in front of her were not an acquaintance but a stranger.
Faced with Shiro's cold response, Black Rose's smile became slightly awkward.
She retracted her outstretched arms, lightly coughed to mask her embarrassment.
"Hehe, you're still as unromantic as before, little maid."
Black Rose forced a laugh, her tone tinged with a hint of helplessness.
Shiro remained expressionless, as if not having heard Black Rose's words.
She said to herself:
"I have already brought the person. When can we start the surgery on your end?"
Upon hearing this, Black Rose's smile grew even brighter.
She blinked and said cheerfully:
"Don't rush, little maid. I need to examine the goods first, after all, not just anyone can undergo disaster beast fusion surgery."
Shiro paid no attention to Black Rose's words.
She turned and walked towards the car's trunk, swiftly opening it.
From the trunk, she pulled out a securely bound figure and carelessly tossed it onto the ground.
This roughly handled figure was none other than Violet.
Her hands and feet were tightly bound with rough ropes, and a cloth was stuffed in her mouth, only allowing her to emit muffled "ow ow" sounds.
On the ground, Violet curled up in a ball, her eyes filled with intense anger.
Her gaze roamed among the surrounding crowd, seemingly searching for possible assistance,
But what greeted her were only indifferent and scrutinizing glances.
Black Rose approached Violet, leaning down to carefully examine the pitiful prisoner.
A satisfied smile crept onto her lips, and a hint of cruel light flickered in her eyes.
Black Rose slowly extended her hand, gently squeezing Violet's face, looking left and right as if admiring a fine piece of art.
Her gaze sparkled with cunning light, and a meaningful smile played at the corners of her mouth.
Being scrutinized like this only fueled Violet's anger, but bound as she was, she could only let out weak whimpers, powerless to resist.
