Chapter 160 The Faceless Ones Arrive, The Magician's Monster Circus (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
As evening fell, the deep night sky descended like velvet, studded with stars like scattered diamonds.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, casting its soft light upon the world.

Red Fox Fortress, open space behind the mountain.

rustling.

Vast fields of wheat seedlings were bathed in the silvery moonlight, swaying gently in the night breeze.

Because Maitian Village is quite far away, at Xia Mingyu's request, a large area of ​​land was specially reclaimed and planted with wheat seedlings.

"A bountiful harvest." He placed his hand on the damp soil, and the next moment, countless black flames erupted from the young man's body.

The air vibrated, and gusts of air swept across the sky.

As if an invisible force were sweeping across the field, the wheat stalks suddenly trembled, and the stems grew rapidly like elongated shadows.

The green ears of wheat emerge from the leaf sheath, swell rapidly, and change from pale green to golden yellow. The awns shimmer with a metallic luster under the moonlight.

In just a few seconds, the entire vast field transformed from tender seedlings into a golden sea, the aroma of wheat suddenly intensifying, mingling with the dampness of the night dew.

"call!"

Having exhausted his magic power in one breath, Xia Mingyu, who was nearly fainting, quickly took the two bottles of magic potion with the corks off from the blonde girl beside him and gulped them down in one go, which made him feel much better.

Even so, he still felt dizzy and could only lean on Anlia, who carefully supported him.

After all, magic also symbolizes vitality, and a magician often needs to rest for several days to fully recover after exhausting his magic.

Unlike him, who exhausts his magic power every day and takes medicine to recover, Xia Mingyu's ability to hold on until now is due to his special constitution. An ordinary magician would probably be bedridden and unable to move by now.

"This is incredible!"

The old woman standing beside them with a lantern was now completely shocked.

Although Rosa had heard His Highness mention that the abilities he gained after becoming a Harvest Sage were related to harvests, this ability called "Abundant Harvest" is just too exaggerated!

Even the Harvest Path's successor, the Morning Star class, the Whisperer, could not possibly achieve such an effect.

No, the grain talkers can only "talk" to crops, sense field diseases or improve soil fertility, how can they directly and decisively accelerate the ripening of crops on a large scale like Your Highness.

To achieve this level of success across different professions is nothing short of a miracle!

Moreover, His Highness is only at the Morning Star level now. If he were to advance to the Radiant Moon or even the Sun Wheel level, wouldn't he be able to accelerate the ripening of all the crops in a region all by himself?
While marveling at her, Rosa also felt a slight unease.

She knew that if the Gluttonous King knew this, he would do anything, even turn the entire Southern Territory upside down, to find and kill His Highness.

Moreover, considering the previous events of Twilight Tea and the rampage of the insane monsters in William's territory, she had a premonition that something terrible was about to happen.

Perhaps new enemies have already arrived in the southern border and are lurking in the shadows.

“Your Highness, do you have the Eye of Warning I gave you with you?” Rosa asked.

Upon hearing this, Xia Mingyu silently took out a light blue crystal ball the size of a marble from his shirt pocket.

Inside the crystal ball floats an amber-colored beast's eye, which appears to be alive and contracts or expands depending on the surrounding light.

This is a magical item. Once magic is injected into it or it is squeezed tightly, the Eye of Vigilance will immediately turn deep red. If there is strong killing intent in the surroundings, it will also turn deep red, and the stronger the killing intent, the deeper the red.

These watchful eyes are inspired by the eyes of a four-eyed monster, which are often in pairs of four.

Once one of the Eyes of Warning turns deep red, the other three will also turn deep red and frantically tremble toward the first Eye of Warning that has turned deep red.

"Your Highness, please make sure you carry it with you at all times. If you sense any danger approaching, do not hesitate to activate it immediately," Rosa said solemnly.

The other three Eyes of Warning are held by Karen, Roy, and Roland, three knights of the Crescent Moon rank.

Xia Mingyu nodded heavily. He knew that Rosa would not say such a thing without reason; the old woman must have sensed some danger approaching from the shadows.

I still need to get stronger as soon as possible!

Xia Mingyu clenched his fist, but then silently loosened his grip when he thought of the extremely complicated magic diagrams in the magic book.

Damn it, why is my way of getting stronger not like the protagonist in a novel, wielding a sword and practicing fists, but like solving advanced math problems that burn my brain!
Thinking of this, Xia Mingyu, who was exhausted from a day and had depleted his magic power, was completely unwilling to move. In the end, Anlia carried him back to the bedroom, put him on the bed, covered him with a blanket, and gave him a goodnight kiss.

After the girl advanced to the extraordinary class of King's Chef, although she was not a combat-oriented class, she gained enough strength to lift an adult man.

"Wildflowers of the field, please tell me, why do people fight each other?"

The girl sat on the edge of the bed, humming softly the song His Highness had taught her. Only after seeing the black-haired youth fall into a deep sleep did she push open the door and quietly leave, satisfied.

Seeing her beloved's sleeping face, she's sure to have a sweet dream tonight.

The city at dusk, at the city gate.

Under the silvery full moon, the guards on night watch yawned wearily, and even the blazing fire in the brazier beside them could not dispel their drowsiness.

rustling.

A night breeze carrying a faint fragrance wafted towards me.

The guards, upon smelling the strange fragrance, gradually became vacant and unfocused, and even the spears they held tightly in their hands began to sway precariously.

Swish swish!
Several dark figures moved with terrifying speed that exceeded the limits of human reaction, silently passing through the dazed guards, stepping into the Twilight City and disappearing from sight.

As the strange fragrance dissipated, the guards with vacant eyes gradually came back to their senses.

After exchanging bewildered glances for a moment, they straightened up again, took up their guns, and guarded the city gate, completely unaware that someone had secretly broken into the city.

The several dark figures moved like ghosts across the rooftops of the houses, their steps as light and agile as felines, making no sound as they stepped on the bricks and tiles.

Finally, they stopped on the roof of a towering building, gazing at the colossal statue of a sage that had just been completed and stood alongside the crimson flames in the center of the city square not far away.

These figures were all dressed in black, cloaked, and masked, obscuring their faces, except for pairs of sharp eyes that looked like those of ferocious beasts under the moonlight.

Or rather, those are the unique animal eyes of beasts.

The leader stared intently at the face of the sage statue, as if trying to etch it into his heart and not daring to miss the slightest detail.

After a long while, he carefully took out a silver compass from the bag at his waist.

buzzing.

The compass needle trembled wildly, finally pointing in a distant direction—Red Fox Castle.

In the city square late at night, the magician walked into an open area while humming a tune.

He looked around and, after confirming that there was no one or any prying eyes within a radius of several hundred meters, pointed his magic wand at the ground.

The next moment, as if by magic, a red and white striped circus tent rose from the ground and grew larger and larger, soon becoming so large that it occupied one-tenth of the entire city square.

At the top of the tent, the words "Monster Circus" were embroidered in bright red thread.

After glancing at it with satisfaction, the magician slowly lifted the curtain and went inside.

"Come out, my circus members."

He excitedly opened his arms and shouted.

The next moment, one "monster" after another suddenly appeared in the empty tent: a woman with six arms, a two-headed giant, a three-eyed man, and a rat girl.
