Chapter 87: The Magic Stone and the Mysterious Person

“I don’t deserve him. I must become better… become better!”

This thought grew and spread in Angela’s mind like a virus.

This smart girl only had Sun Fei in her heart. She didn’t know when she started to become like this, and she didn’t want to find out… But she firmly decided to start focusing on this obsession. This mindset even made her feel unworthy when she faced Sun Fei.

Unfortunately, Sun Fei, who thought of himself as ‘half a love expert’ but was actually clueless, didn’t notice Angela’s feelings.

Dinner continued.

“Oh, by the way, Alexander, the Crown Princess actually ordered a few dresses you designed… um, she also picked some [Mimi Armor]…” Angela didn’t know what ‘Mimi’ meant; she just thought the word was cute. Then she remembered something and said very naturally.

Sun Fei almost spat out his food.

Oh my god… Could you imagine a pure, snow-like girl saying the word ‘Mimi’ in front of you without blushing or hesitation? Beast, I’m such a beast! Sun Fei couldn’t help but glance at a certain part of Angela’s body, and he started to feel his blood boil.

“Oh, really? What color did the Crown Princess choose?” Sun Fei pretended to be calm and asked.

“Red… oh, and rose color.” The little golden-haired Lori named Gemma on the other side of the table finally finished eating. This little girl, who was treated like a younger sister by both Sun Fei and Angela, tried hard to join this slightly inappropriate topic. She tilted her head, thought for a moment, and answered quickly: “The Crown Princess chose red-colored [Mimi Armor].”

Again.

Another pure little Lori said the word ‘Mimi’ without any change in expression. Sun Fei coughed repeatedly, barely stopping himself from spitting out the apple he had just chewed.

“Alexander, are you feeling unwell?”

Seeing Sun Fei’s face red and strained from holding back, Angela asked with concern.

“Uh… no, no, hehe!” Sun Fei changed the subject: “The weather is really nice today…”

Dinner time quickly passed in such a heart-fluttering, romantic atmosphere—of course, this atmosphere was only in Sun Fei’s one-sided imagination.

The servants cleared the dishes. Angela and Gemma wanted to take a walk after the meal. Holding hands, they decided to go to the royal palace’s back garden to check on the big black dog that had been ‘autumn sleeping’ for days.

This big black dog was picked up by Angela from the wild behind Shampoo City’s Back Mountain three years ago. It was said that at that time, it was only the size of a palm, small and cute. Who knew that in three years it would grow so crazily, becoming as big as a small calf, ridiculously strong. Although the big black dog didn’t look like any noble breed and was no different from a regular local dog, this animal was unusually understanding of human nature and extremely loyal to Angela and Gemma. However, for some reason, it didn’t like Sun Fei, the future master of the house. Whenever it saw him, it would bare its teeth, as if he was unpleasant to its dog eyes…

But ten days ago, for some unknown reason, this energetic big dog suddenly fell into a deep sleep. No matter how they tried to wake it, it wouldn’t wake up. It didn’t eat or drink all day. Angela invited the most famous veterinarian in Shampoo City, but he couldn’t figure out why. Angela was very worried about this…

Of course, everything has a cause.

Sun Fei hadn’t told his beautiful fiancée yet that the reason the dog became this half-dead state was because he had forced half a bottle of [Hulk Potion] into its mouth when he was testing it earlier. The poor big black dog, although it didn’t die from the pain, was probably tormented by the [Hulk Potion]’s effects. Following its animal instinct for self-preservation, it fell into a deep slumber.

Watching Angela and Gemma’s youthful, lively figures disappear at the door, Sun Fei stood up and walked to the window of the Great Hall.

For some reason, Sun Fei suddenly thought of the mysterious Crown Princess of the Zenit Empire. He didn’t know what she was planning. She had been in Shampoo City for more than ten days but never asked to see Sun Fei, the king of this Vassal State. She didn’t come to see Sun Fei, and Sun Fei didn’t go to see her. The two were like children having a contest, seeing who had more patience and could hold out longer.

“Hehe, she actually chose a red bra. It seems this Crown Princess is also a secretly passionate person, hahahaha!”

Sun Fei laughed shamelessly.

The King, lost in his mischievous thoughts, didn’t notice that his ‘creepy’ lecherous look scared the servants cleaning the Great Hall, giving them goosebumps.

“Your Majesty, Divine Master Mazzola and Knight Commander Luciano request an audience.”

Just then, a guard suddenly came in to report.

Sun Fei recognized this guard. He was one of the Stone Bridge twenty-three warriors. His name was Michelle Ballack, a man who looked honest and righteous just from his appearance. He had a square face, slightly curly black semi-long hair, sharp features, and big, bright eyes that made people feel he was very trustworthy.

Sun Fei went to the entrance of the main hall of the Royal Palace and saw Divine Master Mazzola and Knight Commander Luciano waiting respectfully at the door. Behind them were several neatly dressed attendant monks carrying a few large boxes.

Seeing Sun Fei arrive, the two approached with flattering smiles, but Sun Fei didn’t even greet them. He snorted coldly and went straight into the main hall. The two were met with a cold shoulder and looked very embarrassed, but they didn’t dare show any dissatisfaction. They waited quietly at the hall entrance.

After a while, guard Ballack came out and said, “King Alexander invites you two inside.”

They were overjoyed and hurried in, signaling the attendants and monks carrying the large boxes to follow quickly. Once inside the hall, they walked on tiptoe, holding their breath, afraid of making any loud noise that might disturb Sun Fei. They went to the foot of the high throne flanked by twin lion-shaped Magical Beast stone statues and immediately prostrated themselves on the ground to pay respects: “Greetings, great one… Mazzola and Luciano pay respects to you.”

“What do you want from me this time?”

Sitting high on the throne, looking down at the two, Sun Fei neither denied nor acknowledged the title ‘great one.’ But to Mazzola and the other, such a question meant Sun Fei admitted his hidden identity. They became even more convinced of their judgment and quickly answered obsequiously: “We only learned of your true identity today. We admire your identity and deeds immensely, so as soon as we finished arranging and organizing the church, we came immediately to formally pay our respects and listen to your teachings.”

As he spoke, Mazzola signaled the attendants and monks to open the two large iron boxes they were carrying. Inside, multicolored lights immediately burst forth. These lights also contained faint fluctuations of Magic power, giving Sun Fei a strange feeling of familiarity.

“These various types of Magic Stones, along with a few Magic Scrolls, are a token of our respect to you, great one. We hope you like them.” Mazzola had the attendants place the large iron boxes on the stone steps below the throne and said flatteringly.

Sun Fei remained silent.

He walked to the first iron box and looked inside. It was filled with strangely shaped stones of various colors like red, yellow, blue, white, etc., emitting soft light. What was strange was that each different colored stone released faint Magic fluctuations—some soft, some cold, some hot, some heavy. Various Magic auras of different attributes filled the air, rising and falling with the shimmering colored lights.

Sun Fei reached out, picked up one of the Magic Stones, and slightly frowned.

He was filled with surprise because these so-called Magic Stones that Mazzola mentioned looked exactly like the various [Chipped Gems] from Diablo to Sun Fei. Not only in appearance and shape, but even the faint Magic aura they contained was identical. Sun Fei was certain they were the exact same thing.

But how could things from the Diablo World appear in the real world? Moreover, judging from Mazzola and Luciano’s attitude, although this type of Magic Stone was precious, it wasn’t particularly rare or scarce. Otherwise, the two couldn’t have produced such a large box all at once.

Sun Fei threw the [Chipped Emerald] in his hand back into the iron box and looked at the other box.

This second iron box didn’t contain Magic Stones but some scrolls made of various materials, neatly tied with fine golden threads. There were about a dozen of them, each a different color. No Magic fluctuations could be sensed, but they were engraved with dense Magic patterns, with occasional faint flashes of light that vanished instantly. Although there were only about a dozen scrolls, the cunning Mazzola used an entire iron box to hold them, indicating that the value of these dozen scrolls was definitely not one bit lower than that box of Magic Stones. Unfortunately, despite having previously looked through Shampoo City’s royal collection of books, Sun Fei still didn’t know much about the Mage profession on the Azeroth Continent. He couldn’t tell what level of Magic was inscribed on these scrolls, nor could he recognize those slightly stubborn and uncommon Magic words. He picked up all the scrolls and examined them but couldn’t figure anything out.

“I will accept these things.”

Sun Fei wasn’t polite at all. Why refuse such valuable gifts sent to your door? Moreover, the ones giving the gifts were Mazzola and Luciano, the shady duo from the Church. Even if he stripped these two clean, Sun Fei wouldn’t feel the slightest bit guilty.

“Ah, wonderful! As long as you like them, great one… that’s great!”

Hearing that Sun Fei agreed to accept the gifts, the two immediately breathed a sigh of relief, their faces full of joy. This meant that the noble [God’s Favored One] was satisfied with their performance, and his attitude was starting to improve. This was a good sign. With a bit more effort in the future, they could further win the great one’s favor.

“There’s one more thing I want to know. How did you find out that evil Necromancy appeared in the battle at Shampoo City?” Sun Fei suddenly asked: “Was it by order of His Holiness the Pope of the Zenit Empire, or was the information directly from the headquarters at Wanliu Peak?”

Mazzola and Luciano looked at each other with strange expressions. Finally, Mazzola replied honestly: “Reporting to you, great one, actually this matter did not come from the upper levels of the Church. It was because on our way to Shampoo City, we happened to meet a mysterious person in a black cloak behaving strangely. It was he who specifically told us.”
