The green, soft and sticky figure bounced happily, jumping three feet high in the library. It swelled its body like an inflated bouncing ball, prancing around the library.
Wow! It turned out to be the leader!
What is a legion? A legion is the super high combat power of a territory! It is the most important part of the territory! Moreover, Madame Xiaoxiao said that this is a secret legion, which means it is even more powerful than an ordinary legion!
Yu Xiaoxiao looked at it smilingly, drawing simple lines on the table with one hand, thinking to herself—
According to the scenes "seen" earlier, the giant beast named "Hasa" should be in some hidden door. So, she picked up the contract book and started to walk slowly in the library.
The slime quickly followed.
As they walked, it noticed that the library was tall and grand, with many bookshelves. There were many empty places, and it sat in them, rolling from head to tail.
Thud!
Its head hit a stone board.
The slime's body softened, and it lay there, not wanting to move at all.
Yu Xiaoxiao found that as she walked in a certain direction, the font in the magic book became more dazzling.
It looks like it's not far away.
The girl kept her attention on the book in her arms. When she arrived at a tall bookshelf, she could feel a chill invading from her feet as she stood there.
This is it.
She reached out and pushed open the hidden door with force.
A chill hit her face.
Behind the hidden door was a gloomy dungeon, where a huge beast was locked up with thick chains.
Because she had seen it before, Yu Xiaoxiao wasn't as scared as before.
The slime also followed, and when it saw the giant beast, its eyes widened and it shrunk behind Yu Xiaoxiao.
The huge beast was covered with deep blue fur all over its body. It slightly opened its eyes, coldly staring at the girl in front of it.
Then, its gaze fell on the magic book she was holding.
Yu Xiaoxiao lifted the lunch box in her hand to her front and asked, "Do you want to eat?"
After being locked up for so long, it must be very hungry.
The giant beast, however, seemed as if it didn't hear her words, as it kept looking at the book in the girl's arms.
That contract book, it couldn't be more familiar with it.
It seemed as if it had lost the ability to speak, perhaps because it had been imprisoned for too long. It just silently looked, the coldness in its icy blue eyes diminished and replaced with a hint of confusion.
The slime held its breath, hiding behind Yu Xiaoxiao, sneakily observing the giant beast.
It's a transformation of a wolf-man.
Judging by its size, its strength is at least seven star.
But for some reason, it always feels so handsome—
Although its deep blue fur had lost its luster due to long years of imprisonment, its sharp, resolute eyes, and its distinctly wolfish face. The armor on its body also bore the marks of war.
Further down, there was…
Gurgle.
The slime saw it make a swallowing motion, stared blankly, and then found the giant wolf staring at itself intently.
It immediately rolled back, clutching the column tightly, and shouted, "I really taste terrible!"
The giant wolf's fangs looked very fierce, and saliva flowed down its mouth, as it raised its paw to wipe it away.
With its movement, the iron chains made a jarring sound.
Yu Xiaoxiao bent down slightly and pushed the lunch box into it.
She didn't speak, just stared at the giant beast in front of her.
It looked at the pale lunch box, with a cartoon drawing attached to it.
For it, it was such a small thing.
Maybe not even enough to get in its teeth.
But, being so close, it could smell a faint fragrance.
It had been sealed for too, too long, and today, for unknown reasons, it was awakened, its first reaction being extreme hunger.
The giant beast looked at the green slime again.
Compared to the lunch in front of it, it obviously would rather eat the slime. At least, it could take a bite out of it with its size.
The slime's face turned ashen.
Yu Xiaoxiao cleared her throat and said, "You can eat something first to fill your stomach, I will prepare more delicious food for you later." After a pause, she added, "A hundred times better than the slime."
Wu wu wu—
The slime was about to cry. What kind of beast tamer was this! Why didn't it feel tamed at all!
The giant wolf reached out, opened the lunch box, and looked at the food inside.
There were also chopsticks next to it, which it did not use, instead, it directly picked up a dumpling and put it into its mouth.
Its expression was very indifferent, but tears flashed in its eyes.
Thirteen thousand years.
It suddenly asked, "Is the Empire of Dark Nights still there?"
The girl shook her head.
Looking at the girl standing in front of it, a high-level beast tamer would naturally realize that it had a new master.
The food in its mouth became tasteless.
For the giant wolf, even the dumplings were just enough to fill the gaps between its teeth. It swallowed all seven dumplings in one go, and said softly, "Thank you for your hospitality."
Yu Xiaoxiao squatted down and looked at the iron chains on the ground, wanting to touch them with her hand.
The giant wolf spoke, "Don't move. It will hurt you."
"How can I release you then?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked.
At this moment, a light blue key slowly appeared in the air, accompanied by the voice of Ineng.
"Master, please take it." Yu Xiaoxiao took the key, opened one end of the iron chain, and said, "You're free."
The giant wolf did not feel happy at regaining its freedom, perhaps because it was still immersed in the grief of the downfall of the Dark Empire.
Yu Xiaoxiao said, "I roughly understand the situation of the Dark Empire, and the underground city has been abandoned for a long time. However, tomorrow I will go to the capital to submit the application for the principality. If successful, this place will one day return to its former prosperity."
"Husa, join us," the girl sincerely invited, "The current underground city needs you."
The reaction of the giant wolf was slow. After many seconds, it slowly raised its hand and placed one arm across its chest.
"Honored to do so," it reminded, "Do not let anyone else know that you rescued me."
“Why?” The beast-soldiers in the Kaliya Empire are not very common, right?
Husa was silent for a few seconds and said, "Some people don’t want us to live."
Perhaps the seal was meant for protection.
The devout posture of the giant wolf was different from the last time they met. At this moment, it seemed to deliberately suppress its hostility. After all, its new master appeared to be a delicate girl.
"Alright, I understand," Yu Xiaoxiao readily agreed, "However, there is still one person who needs to know. He is the lord of the underground city, as well as the future king of the Flame Principality."
"Who?" the giant wolf asked.
Yu Xiaoxiao answered, "Prince Load."
The giant wolf did not know this person.
Yu Xiaoxiao explained, "He is the third prince of the current Kaliya Empire and the heir of the underground city."
The giant wolf seemed uninterested.
It said lightly, "Fine."
The slime continued to keep its distance, but after hearing Yu Xiaoxiao's words, it breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Lady Xiaoxiao did not choose to hide the truth.
Previously, there were steward officials who always wanted to gain some benefits from the underground city and went to great lengths to conceal the truth from the third prince. The end results were all miserable.
Betrayal is something the third prince loathes the most in his life.
And as a qualified steward official, one should be honest and forthright.
The things that happened in the library should be noticed by Prince Load. He might not bring it up proactively, but if Lady Xiaoxiao chooses to conceal this matter, she might receive a dismissal letter tomorrow.
Yu Xiaoxiao left the library with the slime.
The giant wolf still chose to hide in the hidden door of the library. Having stayed here for so long, it suddenly felt reluctant to leave.
Husa's icy blue eyes looked at the bento box on the ground, murmuring, "Are they really gone?"
Former companions, comrades, and the man who stood above everyone else.
The hot blood splattered the ground, and the giant wolf faintly remembered the tall and sturdy figure of the man, whose cloak fluttered like flames.
"Husa, one day, I will let the light shine into every corner of the Dark Empire!"
Just thinking about it, the giant wolf's eyes welled up with tears.
Yu Xiaoxiao found that she had been delayed for a long time because of the library incident. Now it was late and she wondered if it would be inconvenient to go out to buy things.
She asked, "Do the shops in the capital open at night?"
"Yes, many shops close after twelve," the slime said. "Madam Xiaoxiao, are you planning to buy clothes?"
She would need to wear formal attire for the submission of the principality application tomorrow. However, the current territory did not have much prestige, and it would be difficult to invite a high-level tailor. Unless Lord Roko himself intervened, but—
Yu Xiaoxiao also didn't want to trouble him even with such a small matter as buying clothes.
So she said, "Get ready, we're leaving."
Xiaoluopei stopped at the library door, the train doors opened, and Yuxiaoxiao and Slime went up.
However, the train did not go towards the exit, but stopped near the Third Prince's palace. The door opened, and a person completely wrapped up in himself walked up.
The bandages on his tail were wrapped by himself, layer by layer, with three dead knots at the end, looking a bit comical.
He wore a clown mask and sat opposite Yuxiaoxiao impassively.
"As, are you also going?" Yuxiaoxiao's eyes were full of smiles.
In her impression, As never left the underground city.
Even Slime said that the Third Prince had never set foot outside the underground city since he came to the underground city at the age of eight.
"Yeah," he responded.
He lowered his head, the bright smile of the clown mask facing the ground.
The white fragmented hair had a gentle sheen due to the train's lighting.
"Okay, then follow me closely and don't get lost."
Yuxiaoxiao looked around and found a hemp rope, and joyfully said, "Tie this to your wrist, what do you think?"
Receiving As's cold gaze, she also realized this was inappropriate.
How could the majestic Third Prince be led around like a little puppy?
Slime patted his chest and assured, "Master Xiaoxiao, don't worry, I'll take care of As and make sure he doesn't cause any trouble!"
It did not realize at all that this apprentice of the small restaurant was its master, Prince Lord.
