Chapter Three Hundred Seventy:
Bang!
The dark blue Storm Hand smashed the Black Well to pieces.
In Freya's ears, there seemed to be a faint sound of a crack.
She squinted her eyes at the enormous handprint below.
Feeling the cool breeze of the night brushing against her forehead, the green in Freya's eyes quickly faded, eventually returning to their original deep blue.
"The unilateral destruction of Hell's Mouth is enough to disrupt the time-space Coordinate. It seems that Hell World won't be accessible for a long time. However..."
She glanced at her blood-soaked body, and a hint of bitter smile appeared on her cold face.
"This injury is probably one of the worst I've had in recent years. I estimate it will take several years to recover."
After lingering in the air for a while longer, Freya flew directly towards Lakefront Manor.
...
In Hell World, from which Freya was rapidly escaping,
The continuous Black Mountains were now covered with large patches of black flames like a disaster.
These black flames burned everything relentlessly.
Numerous Native Creatures of Hell World screamed and howled as they scattered in all directions.
In the sky, various flying creatures fled from the mountains, large groups resembling black dust.
On a smooth cliff in the mountains, next to a large hole, the figure clad in silver looked grimly at the jet black longsword embedded in its chest.
The longsword had transformed into something entirely different.
The blade was covered in countless sharp spikes, with threads of crimson veins pulsating as if a beating heart were drawing something from within.
Above the blade, a cyclops stared indifferently at the figure it had pierced, its pupil radiating a chilling and malevolent aura.
Scattered around the figure were numerous bizarre and disordered bodies and limbs, seemingly belonging to the terrifying Hell Creatures that had been pursuing Freya earlier.
A clear sucking sound grew louder, and the indifferent cyclops on the blade displayed a satisfied expression.
However, just as the figure's body rapidly shriveled and was about to embrace death, a sudden loud clap echoed.
A massive hand clad in a red iron glove grasped the hilt of the strange black sword.
With a soft sound, the blade was pulled away from flesh.
As the black sword was slowly withdrawn, the raging flames burning in the Black Mountains quickly weakened until they extinguished.
A giant figure completely enveloped in red armor slowly emerged from the large hole.
Armored Giant held the Jet Black Longsword in his hand, and a pair of silver eyes stared out from the menacing helmet.
Behind him, a figure dressed as a Silver-Clad Figure stared blankly at the giant's massive back for a long time before slowly speaking.
"Your Majesty."
...
Wizarding World.
Eleven years later.
In the vast Crimson Plain, well-paved roads crisscrossed, and exquisite carriages could be seen traveling along them.
Occasionally, red Airships carrying passengers flew across the deep blue sky.
The area belonging to the Blood Eagle Territory Headquarters had developed over eleven years into the richest and most prosperous city at the center of the Crimson Plain.
The former Lakefront Manor of Freya had transformed into a luxurious white villa.
Surrounding it were vastly expanded forest parks and plazas.
Red-headed birds could occasionally be seen foraging in the plaza.
In the center of the plaza stood a massive Red Giant Eagle Statue, surrounded by sparkling small fountains.
Some wizards and apprentices dressed in casual attire were comfortably seated on benches in the forest, either meditating or reading, creating an atmosphere of tranquility.
On a quiet forest path leading to the White Villa, a magnificent silver carriage was slowly making its way toward the villa.
Half an hour later.
In the living room of the villa.
Wearing a Red Robe, Freya smiled as she sat on the soft sofa. Eleven years had not left many traces on her face.
Her long golden hair was casually tied behind her, and her deep blue eyes were slightly squinted. On the round table beside her were two white porcelain cups filled with a brown beverage that emitted a faint, pleasant aroma.
Opposite her sat Jann from Stellar Tower, his silver hair and white robe contrasting with his serious expression as he looked at a stack of documents in his hands, occasionally murmuring to himself. It was unclear what he was saying.
Freya, sitting on the sofa, watched his expression with interest, occasionally sipping her drink and letting the fragrance fill her mouth.
After a long while, Jann reluctantly set down the documents in his hands, took a deep breath, and then spoke with admiration.
"Truly worthy of Lady Freya. If this manuscript of yours is published, it will surely have a significant impact on all wizards specializing in Plant Energy. Are you sure you want to give me this research material?"
"Of course." Freya set down her white porcelain cup and smiled. "Even if I don't give it to you, I believe that in another two years, some wizards will come to similar conclusions. I was just fortunate to discover it a bit earlier."
"You are being modest." Jann lowered his head slightly and then smiled. "If you were merely lucky, then what does that make us poor fellows who are blinded by the fog?"
"Ha."
Freya merely smiled at Jann's compliment without responding.
"By the way." He seemed to remember something and pulled out a silver box from behind him, handing it to Freya. "This is some information regarding the Lord of Death in the Hell World that you once mentioned to me. It took me quite some effort to find these materials."
"Oh?" Taking the box he handed over, Freya reined in her smile and said seriously, "I didn't expect you to actually find it. Thank you for your trouble this time."
Upon hearing Freya's gratitude, Jann waved his hand dismissively.
"This information seems to involve some secrets from a certain period of Hell World. I only recently obtained some encrypted texts, so it's nothing significant. However, it took eight years to get this to you, so I should apologize instead."
"Hehe, I only came across this term occasionally in an ancient document. It's actually fine if we can't find it, no need to worry." Freya smiled again and said slowly. "However, you must have come here for more than just this."
"Looks like I've been seen through." Although Jann said this, there was no hint of embarrassment. "Actually, I mainly came to visit your botanical garden. The Sundew seeds I got from you last time turned out to be much better than the usual varieties after testing. I wanted to collect some finished specimens."
"That's certainly not a problem." Freya stood up. "Timing is perfect. We can just see the blooming of the Fire Cloud Flower."
"Then I'll be intruding." Jann replied with a slightly respectful tone.
The two walked out of the living room, moving through corridors and pavilions.
Soon, following the cobblestone path, they arrived at a unique building that seemed to be covered by a giant glass shield.
Surrounding the house were white Warning Arrays, with soft light filling the space.
Freya lightly snapped her fingers, and the light on the path leading to the house automatically shifted away.
'Click.'
The glass door opened automatically. The two entered the botanical garden.
Inside, the botanical garden was actually much larger than what could be seen from outside.
It felt like stepping into a quiet and dense forest, where various strange plants could be seen on the fertile black soil.
Yellow flowers with Faces, green vines climbing like snakes on trees, and fluffy plants floating gently like clouds.
Walking along a special path, Freya led the way while Jann looked at these rare plants with envy.
Suddenly, more than a dozen flying plants resembling gray cat heads flew past him, colliding with each other as if they were real cats playfully wrestling.
Seeing these swiftly passing cat-headed plants, Jann stopped in his tracks.
"Hey? Is that Cathead Wind Grass? You even cultivated this kind of plant? I don't think it was here last time."
"Oh, these guys were a gift that Seth brought over from the Valley of Winds some time ago, but," Freya frowned, "it seems like there are quite a few of them."
One of the Cathead Wind Grass seemed to have noticed Freya and quickly flew toward her, gently landing on her shoulder and even starting to purr.
Freya casually grabbed the cat head on her shoulder and glanced at Jann, who looked enviously at her.
"Do you want one? However, this thing can be quite dangerous; it's best to keep it alone until it adapts to the environment."
Hearing Freya's words, Jann's eyes lit up, and he respectfully replied, "Of course, I'll be careful. Cathead Wind Grass is even more precious than Heart of the Spirit; I wonder what you need for an exchange."
"For an exchange," Freya pondered for a moment before continuing, "if you have any information about Stardust Prairie, that would be great."
"Stardust Prairie?" Jann thought for a moment and then nodded. "I understand."
"Mm." She nodded and released the cat head from her hand before continuing forward.
After walking through the tranquil forest for more than ten minutes, a delicate pond appeared before them.
In the center of the pond grew black plants resembling sharp spikes, with a fist-sized Sphere at the top of each spike.
As the two approached, all the Black Spheres suddenly opened their eyes, like large Cyclopes curiously watching them.
Above the pond, there were granular red objects.
Ignoring the gaze of the Demon Eye Grass, the two walked beside the pond. Freya looked up and smiled at the granular objects in the sky.
"It seems we arrived early; it will probably take another two minutes for the Fire Cloud Flower to bloom."
"That's alright. The blooming time of the Fire Cloud Flower is relatively short. Even being here and encountering it is quite rare," Jann also looked up and sighed. "Lady Freya, the rare plants in your botanical garden are likely richer than those in an average Wizard Organization's secret realm. As far as I know, although our Stellar Tower's plant secret realm is larger than yours, it can't match even half of the variety and quality you have here."
"Well, I'm just lucky."
As she spoke, a granular object above the pond suddenly burst with a 'pop.'
A cloud of flowers resembling flames immediately floated out.
Like a prelude, as the first seed bloomed, the remaining seeds exploded in large clusters.
Layers of a spectacle resembling burning clouds slowly unfolded in the nearby sky.
The Demon Eye Grass in the pond seemed to be attracted by the Fire Cloud Flowers above, all looking up at the sky.
These Fire Cloud Flowers emitted a faint warmth, with wisps of Fire Element particles wafting down from above.
As the Fire Cloud Flowers bloomed collectively, Freya suddenly turned her head.
"By the way, Lord Jann, listen, did your Stellar Tower headquarters recently relocate from Hell World back to Wizarding World?"
"Huh?" Surprised that Freya would ask this at that moment, Jann paused slightly before nodding. "Yes, it was relocated three months ago."
Hearing Jann's confirmation, Freya asked curiously, "Oh? What was the reason? If it's convenient to share?"
"I am not sure about the specific reason; that area is not under my responsibility. However, it seems there is some special situation occurring in Hell World, which necessitated the transfer."
"Oh." Freya nodded in understanding, her azure eyes reflecting the red of the Fire Cloud Flower, lost in thought.
The blooming of the Fire Cloud Flower was swift, and within a minute, the fiery spectacle vanished completely.
One by one, nut-like fruits dropped into the pond with a 'plop, plop' sound.
With a casual gesture, Freya summoned one of the Fire Cloud Flower fruits into her hand.
She applied a gentle pressure, and the hard outer shell cracked open to reveal a golden liquid inside, releasing a sweet aroma.
Looking around, Freya walked over to a patch of grass by the pond and poured the liquid onto it. Soon after, a faint 'buzzing' sound came from nearby.
A swarm of slender plants, no larger than a thumb but with two pairs of transparent wings, quickly flew over.
They densely covered the ground, feeding on the liquid.
Freya took a couple of steps back and pointed at the plants on the ground to Jann.
"Alright, here are the Sundew you wanted. Be quick about it."
"Thank you."
Nodding, he swiftly pulled out a wooden box from his waist and murmured the Segmenting Spell.
'Swish'
A faint sound of wind emerged from the box as two nearby Sundew were instantly drawn inside.
Jann immediately covered the box to prevent Sundew from flying out and escaping.
"Zhi"
Watching from the side, Freya's fingernail on her right index finger suddenly gleamed, and a mark of a White-Horned Deer slowly appeared.
Seeing the Deer Mark, Freya raised her finger and calmly said, "What is it, Wen Li?"
"Teacher, the two documents sent by Lord Meilong require permissions that I don't have. I need you to handle them personally."
"I see, alright. I'll go over now."
After breaking the mark, Freya looked at the satisfied Jann and said apologetically, "There are some matters in the Rune Department that I need to attend to, so this will be it for now."
"Oh, okay. I also have some things to take care of. Let's go together." (To be continued.)
