Chapter 670 Find the Hidden Princess

There are actually a few advantages to seeking out Fafnir, the Black Iron Flower. Not only is she genuinely honest and willing to speak ill of others behind their backs, but her Black Iron talent, Da Chun, is also imprisoned in Oak City and is in a bad situation. She must be dissatisfied, and if she is, she will definitely reveal some useful information.

Furthermore, the Black Iron Flower is generally considered to be on par with the Bronze Flower and the Oak Flower in terms of strength. Once she discovers that the Oak Flower is far stronger than her, her true personality and dissatisfaction will inevitably erupt...

Michael, disguised as a butler, arrives at the Black Iron Flower mansion.

Fafnir continued her regular sword practice in the courtyard, sweating profusely.

Michael wisely prepared her favorite chilled red wine and a towel and waited by her side.

Finally, Fafnir, drenched in sweat, finished her swordplay routine, took the red wine, and drank heartily: "Not bad, another glass!"

Michael knew her temper and knew he couldn't go along with her at this time. He had to advise her, "Miss, you can't drink anymore."

Fafnir was too busy wiping her sweat to bother with it.

Michael seized the opportunity to stir up trouble: "Miss Fafnir, I heard that Miss Floria of Oak City rested for a day and then went out to the streets to seek revenge on Nightmare."

Fafner said irritably, "Oh dear, she had a nightmare this morning that scared her so much that a bunch of officials and church members came to visit her, making a huge news story. And now she's making news just by going out on the street at night?"

That's exactly the kind of tension we wanted!

Michael continued to fan the flames: "But with her previous strength, she should have been helpless against Nightmare. The current situation suggests that her strength has leaped forward, or perhaps she has always been very strong and has been keeping a low profile."

Fafnir froze, her action of wiping away sweat abruptly halting.

Great, there's a response!

Fafner sat down in the chair: "Wine!"

This time, we must do as she wishes and fill the Michael cup to the brim.

Fafnir took a swig: "Any other news?"

Michael went straight to the point, stirring up trouble: "The people think Miss Leah has a very noble and elegant demeanor, the best in the five cities!"

Fafnir spat out her drink, her tone changing: "How elegant! Before, you were just trying to be low-key and keep up with me to appease me, right? Now you're not pretending anymore. You're richer than me, more noble than me, and now you're far stronger than me. I don't even know how to deal with Nightmare... Hah!"

Michael Khan said, "Miss, calm down, don't be angry."

Fafnir was furious: "You specifically told me this, how can I not be angry?"

The angrier she got, the more excited Michael became!

Michael feigned panic: "I'm just informing Miss about the situation, and I'm also anxious to help Miss find a solution!"

Fafnir forced herself to calm down: "What's your plan?"

Michael, with a crooked mouth and twisted scripture, continued to coax: "Of course, it's also about improving one's temperament! And that's the easiest thing to improve right now—"

Fafnir was furious: "Butler, aren't you the one who's drunk tonight?"

Michael was genuinely afraid she would see him off, so he immediately apologized, "I'm sorry, I got carried away with my concern."

Fafnir sighed, "If I were to claim tomorrow morning that I was terrified by a nightmare, would a whole bunch of officials and bishops come to visit me?"

Michael suddenly realized that he seemed to have overlooked this most important detail: "This?"

Fafnir sighed, "I'm confident I don't. I wonder if Tifa, Remia, and Eve would be at the same level if they were also terrified in their dreams? If not, then it just means we're not on the same level as Lia. It doesn't matter, being at the bottom is fine, at least I have Tifa to keep me company, right?" But she was young!

Actually, Michael had already received a crucial hint at this point, but since Fafnir had made such a strange request... let's make the arrangements!
Michael said, "Miss, I think we can give it a try! Sleep in late tomorrow morning, and when you wake up, just say you were also frightened by a nightmare!"

Fafnir exploded in anger again: "Are you deliberately trying to embarrass me and make me a laughingstock?"

Michael said, "I believe the other city beauties are also very concerned about Lia's sudden increase in strength. I'll make some arrangements to get them to cooperate and pretend to be sick together tomorrow morning. Even if they are ridiculed, it won't just be you who gets laughed at!"

Fafnir laughed in exasperation: "What's the point of doing this?"

"Of course, it's to see how well everyone fares! Besides, if everyone makes a fool of themselves, then Leah herself becomes a joke too, doesn't she?"

Fafnir's heart skipped a beat: "This sounds like a lot of fun! So what's the reason for our nightmare?"

"Let's all stick to the same story and say we encountered a golem, a nightmare dragon!"

Fafnir laughed: "Okay, go and make the arrangements. As long as I'm not the only one who gets embarrassed..."

……

The chat group erupted in chaos!
Michael said in a deep voice, "Based on her hints, the answer is roughly out. Gabriel set the city flower up to be the epitome of nobility, but the intelligent system will follow logic to complete the setting for her—what kind of person can be the epitome of nobility?"

Gabriel blurted out, "Royalty? Princess?"

Raphael said, "If she is royalty, then it explains why so many high-ranking figures from both the political and religious circles came to visit her when she was ill!"

Sariel exclaimed in shock, "If she is royalty, then she must possess a hidden artifact far surpassing that of the other city beauties, and may even have imperial blood. That would explain why she is so powerful!"

Gabriel said in a trembling voice, "If she is indeed forcibly given a royal family status by the system, then the significance of her coming to my city will probably give rise to a huge story!"

Michael said, "We'll consider that later! So, Raphael, Mei, and Sariel, you three find your city beauties right away and get this late-night, feigning illness activity going. Even if you have to use your privileges, we need to see which one of them is the hidden princess!"

The men laughed and said, "We understand!"

……

It's almost noon.

Da Chun has already ventured deep into the void, collecting 32 fragmented dragon souls along the way. By listening to the voices of these dragon souls that have entered the horn, Da Chun's expert-level spiritual perception is constantly upgrading. Perhaps Master Crow is right; learning dragon language isn't necessarily required. But since dragons have language, it's best to learn as much as possible. I wonder how Xiao Nan's progress is?

Moreover, Da Chun suddenly discovered that the dragon souls were coming from one direction in relatively concentrated numbers.

So, should we just keep searching in this direction?
Da Chun thought about it and decided it wasn't necessary. First, he would miss out on a few dragon souls from other directions. Second, the direction where they appeared in such a concentrated manner was probably the ancient battlefield from a thousand years ago. The ancient battlefield was probably dangerous, and he was not strong enough at the moment, so he tried not to go too deep.

As the Queen sounded another long, deep horn-like blast, Da Chun suddenly noticed a large number of red dots scattering in the nebula ahead.

"This is?"

After the Queen finished playing the flute, she said, "Master, this must have scared away the Void Moths. In the past, I couldn't do anything about these moths; they would just run away if they could. Now, I've scared them away."

Da Chun suddenly remembered something: "Won't our blowing along the way scare away even stronger void creatures?"

The Queen laughed and said, "I find it quite amusing to think about how I scared away those stronger than my people in the past."

That's true! As long as everyone who goes there is scared away, then the void is no longer dangerous, and you can basically go wherever you want.
