Chapter 303: Chapter 301: Rose’s Princess Carry
Hilia peacefully falls asleep, and Rose looks at her, reaching out to touch her forehead. Beneath her, a bed made of flowers slowly emerges. freewebnσvel.cѳm
First-level Natural Magic [Flower Skill], a spell that can only produce soft flowers, having no effect or attack power, used by Rose as the mattress for Hilia’s slumber.
Then, the flowers and Hilia seem to vanish under the micro-level Concealment Skill, replaced by her Magic Puppet.
All of this is under Rose’s control, preventing the people below from seeing anything.
Rose sits beside Hilia, controlling the Magic Puppet to jump down from the house and come before the crowd.
The speaker stands up, looking at the black-robed Magic Puppet with some confusion, yet still says, "Although I don’t know where you come from, to be so arrogant and directly land on our house, openly eavesdropping on our conversation, report your name."
Rose chuckles and says, "I’m just a passing Evil God, happened to hear you discussing an interesting topic."
The crowd’s faces change, the leader looks at Rose in shock, "Claiming to be an Evil God, such bold words, I like it. Come, join our gathering, and we’ll be friends from now on."
Rose still chuckles, "Become my friend? You’re not qualified enough."
The crowd’s expressions immediately change.
The leader sneers, "It seems you don’t know your situation, you’ve already been affected by the Essence of the Dark Dream, feeling sleepy, right? If you come, we’ll stop releasing the Essence of the Dark Dream, if you’re looking for trouble..."
Rose reaches out and says, "I’m very interested in this Essence of the Dark Dream you mentioned, give me two bottles."
The leader gets angry, "Are you ignoring my words? You’re courting death, I won’t give it!"
Others echo:
"If I say no, then no!"
"Won’t give it even if you beat the boss to death!"
"That’s right!"
Rose loosens the joints of the Magic Puppet, "Then let’s speak with fists!"
The leader sneers, "Survive the drowsiness first!"
A minute later.
Watching the others all ’automatically’ falling asleep, the leader’s legs tremble, "It’s not that we don’t want to give, we don’t have any spare Essence of the Dark Dream, really, sir, you must believe me, moreover, this Essence of the Dark Dream doesn’t seem as magical as we said, look, it hasn’t affected you at all."
"Give me all the Essence of the Dark Dream you have left."
"Alright, alright."
A moment later, half a bottle of purple liquid potion is taken out, he looks reluctantly at it.
"This is the Essence of the Dark Dream used to offend you earlier, a bottle costs 10 Gold Coins, we also bought it from others, originally thinking..."
Thud!
The leader’s eyes roll up, joining his friends in sleep.
Rose weighed the potion, considering that the Magic Puppet doesn’t have a scent analysis function, he then controls the Magic Puppet back, opens the potion, and lets it touch Hilia’s nose gently, starting to analyze the potion’s effects through his connection with Hilia.
A moment later, he closes the lid.
"This is a potion specifically targeting Mages, volatile, after evaporation it causes mages to become drowsy, ineffective on ordinary people, one bottle evaporates completely in about 24 hours."
Rose plays with the potion, "A rare item that affects mages but not ordinary people, this could yield interesting effects in the competition, however... this is probably just the beginning."
Rose invited Hilia over, actually, his Spiritual Power detected this potion with peculiar fluctuations, he seemed to have never seen it before, thus piqued his interest.
On the eve of the Mage League, a potion suddenly appears capable of making mages sleep for 24 hours.
It sounds usable on opponents to make them miss the competition.
But using it merely in this way doesn’t justify the 10 Gold Coins price tag.
Rose makes a judgment in his heart.
"Besides this potion, surely other complementary potions will appear, as for what those selling the potion want to do, that’s for Hilia to explore."
Rose is interested in all novel things, but he doesn’t actively explore investigations, preferring to watch Hilia investigate, finding it amusing to see her facing the unknown with fear.
Putting away the Essence of the Dark Dream, Rose directly attaches to the Magic Puppet, after packing Hilia’s Flying Broom, he carries Hilia in a princess hold, with Wind Magic attached to his body, jumping between buildings swiftly towards the hotel.
This jumping lets Rose feel the Lightweight Skill of martial arts.
Indeed, it’s quite amusing.
If someone looked up, they’d see a black-robed person holding a young girl leaping between tall buildings, soaring across the sky.
...
A moment later, Rose returns to the hotel.
In the Holy Maiden Squad’s room, there’s only one person inside.
It’s Phil.
Crunch!
The door opens, Phil hears the sound and looks up, suddenly stunned.
She sees a figure cloaked in a black robe, wearing a black hood, carrying Hilia inside and gently placing her on the bed.
She reaches out and rubs her eyes.
This image, she knows too well.
Isn’t that Evil God Ross?!
He, he...
She, she...
Phil falls into a daze.
Rose approaches Phil, looking down on Phil.
"You didn’t see anything, you understand?"
The familiar voice comes, Phil panics, "Sorry, sorry, Lord Ross, I didn’t see anything! Absolutely nothing!"
The girl feels her heart pounding, she seems to have uncovered an incredible secret.
This secret involves the terrifying Evil God!
Phil would rather not know, rather than being like now, bowing like she’s made a mistake, not daring to look at Rose.
This secret, I must guard it for a lifetime! Phil says in her heart.
Rose smiles faintly, finding Phil’s posture quite interesting.
He takes out the bottle of Essence of the Dark Dream and softly wafts some of its scent.
"Uh... so sleepy... Ross... lord... zzz..."
Rose raises an eyebrow, "Sleeping so quickly?"
He places Phil onto the bed, puts the Essence of the Dark Dream into Hilia’s backpack, then retrieves the Magic Puppet.
The crime scene has been perfectly tidied.
Not long after Rose retrieves the Magic Puppet, Benovia and Encore return carrying many items.
Encore comments while walking, "All these items need to be accounted for, I’ll apply for reimbursement from the school once we return, and when you use them, remember to record it."
Benovia nods helplessly, "Alright, alright, I know."
The two see Hilia and Phil already asleep, somewhat surprised.
"These two workaholic fools sleeping so early today?" Encore is puzzled, "The competition hasn’t started yet tomorrow."
Benovia smiles slightly, "Maybe they’re truly tired, let’s keep our voices down, don’t disturb their sleep."
"Alright."
