Versatile Mage: I have 999 talents!

Chapter 191 Remiel's Scouting, the Featherless Bird!

Magic City, Qingtian Hunting House.

Song Qiming leaned against the front desk, his ever-present opium pipe puffing out wisps of smoke.

The copper bell in front of the door suddenly rang clearly. He looked up and his hand holding the cigarette paused slightly.

"Oh, isn't this Lord Remiel?" Song Qiming squinted, tapping his pipe on the counter. "What brings you to my humble abode?"

"Old Song" Remiel walked in with a wry smile. "Just call me Wenbo."

"I wouldn't dare," Song Qiming sneered. "What if I ever displease you? You can just give me a Dark Judgment too."

A hint of helplessness flashed in Remiel's eyes as he sat down at the bar.

"You've come all the way from the Holy City." Song Qiming slammed down his pipe, his eyes blazing. "Who are you targeting this time?"

“You think too badly of me.” Remiel shook his head. “I’m just here to confirm one thing.”

"Oh?"

“Regarding Lucifer,” Remiel looked directly into Song Qiming’s eyes, “you know him, don’t you?”

……

Wanggui Town.

"Hmm, how did I fall asleep?"

Lingling sat up groggily and rubbed her eyes.

Memories gradually return—

It seems like that bastard hypnotized me with mind magic!

She yawned angrily and stretched her arms upwards.

Sunlight filtered through the sheer curtains, outlining the girl's budding curves. Her cotton nightgown billowed slightly with her movements, revealing a glimpse of her fair calves.

"woke up?"

A gentle voice suddenly came from the doorway.

Lingling turned around abruptly and saw Wang Feng leaning against the door frame, waving an exquisite lunchbox in his hand, a mischievous smile on his lips.

!!!

The girl's cheeks flushed bright red instantly, even the tips of her ears turned crimson.

(ω)

"Are you hungry?" Wang Feng waved the food box in his hand. "I specially bought your favorite seafood porridge."

Lingling blinked her big, watery eyes and deliberately puffed out her cheeks:

"Hmph! For this reason..."

o(^｀)o
She jumped off the bed barefoot, her fair toes touching the soft carpet, and darted to the dining table like a proud little cat.

……

Lingling licked the last shrimp off her lips with lingering satisfaction, her pink tongue brushing against the corner of the cat's mouth.

"Huh? Lingling's awake?"

Jiang Shaoxu changed into a light purple dress and gracefully entered, her hair still damp from her shower.

"Hmph! If it weren't for some bad guy," Lingling muttered under her breath, poking the empty lunchbox in a retaliatory manner.

"Everyone's here. Lingling, tell me about the situation on Asahi Island," Wang Feng said.

Lingling nodded, cleared her throat, and said:
"About twenty years ago, Asahi Island was bought by an international tycoon and used as a breeding base for featherless birds. It was originally intended to provide them as riding animals for international mercenary armies, but his breeding plan seems to have failed."

"It went bankrupt about eight years ago, and our local government did not take over its management."

"And those untamed featherless birds gradually turned into wild demons, to the point that Asahi Island has now become almost a demon's lair!"

Lingling opened her electronic map, and the marker for Asahi Island was still 'Taming Base'!
"Private individuals engaging in large-scale breeding is simply courting death," Jiang Shaoxu said dismissively, arms crossed. Coming from a military family, she knew very well that currently, the only place in China that could legally conduct large-scale breeding was the Tianying Base, directly under the military.

Other private breeding farms must be located outside the security zone, precisely to prevent trouble.

While the domestication industry is incredibly profitable, it also carries enormous risks, as untamed monsters can turn on you at any time!

Just like in the original timeline, during the White Eagle Rebellion in Hangzhou, even the Sky Eagles trained by the military collectively defied orders and had to be executed in the end.

Wang Feng stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "This information shouldn't be considered confidential, right?"

"Looking at the breeding base alone doesn't count," Lingling pouted. "But twenty years ago, the leaders of Wanggui Town invested heavily in Xu Island, hoping to use this project to turn Wanggui Town into a star city on the east coast."

"As a result, after that international tycoon went bankrupt and fled, the local treasury was left with a huge hole."

"To cover up this mess, they not only concealed the fact that Asahishima had been demonized, but also completely abandoned Asahishima."

Jiang Shaoxu slammed his fist on the table and stood up abruptly: "These parasites! They disregard the safety of the entire city for their own selfish interests!"

"Do you have a list?" Wang Feng suddenly asked.

Lingling was taken aback: "Those people have already been transferred to other places to continue their bullying. You want to cause trouble for them?"

"Trouble?" Wang Feng sneered. "I hate those scoundrels who leave a mess behind and then run away to cause more trouble elsewhere. If we don't teach them a lesson, what will happen if everyone follows suit?"

"Count me in!" Jiang Shaoxu said eagerly.

"Stop fooling around." Wang Feng rubbed her head. "Your grandfather is the Grand Commander of the Forbidden City Army. Don't cause him any trouble."

Politics is a murky pool that runs very deep.

He dared to intervene because of his overwhelming strength and his intention to use unconventional methods, so he didn't need to worry about personal relationships or social niceties.

But the Chiang family was different; they were a military family with too many ties to their lineage.

"Oh," Jiang Shaoxu replied, pouting.

"Let's go check out Asahi Island first," Wang Feng said, standing up.

"That's a lair of wild demons!" Lingling pulled up the data. "There seems to be a sub-monarch level being inside."

"A sub-monarch?" Wang Feng sneered. "He could be destroyed with a flick of his finger."

Within his Abyss of Calamity, there are more than twenty sub-monarchs alone, not including minor and medium-sized monarchs...

Moreover, there are hundreds of undead nearing the Monarch's advancement stage. With the right undead resources, one can advance to the Monarch rank in no time.

Therefore, ordinary monarchs are no longer worthy of Wang Feng's attention, unless they have some special talent or ability!
……

Wang Feng rented an old fishing boat at the Wanggui Town Wharf. The words "Zhejiang Fishing" were still visible on the mottled paint on the hull.

With the engine revving, the three set off towards Asahishima, twenty kilometers away.

An hour later, the outline of the island gradually appeared on the horizon.

The island is an irregular crescent shape, with a diameter of over ten kilometers. The mountains in the center of the island are lush and green, and the jagged beaches along the coast shimmer with gold in the sunlight.

The strangest thing is that the entire island is eerily quiet, without even a bird's chirp.

"It's too quiet." Jiang Shaoxu unconsciously gripped the gunwale. "It doesn't seem like there are any demons."

"Crack-!"

Several splashes of water suddenly erupted on the surface of the sea!

Three bluish-brown figures darted out like lightning, their sharp spikes on their wings aimed straight for Jiang Shaoxu's throat!
"Humph!"

A burst of silver light flashed in Wang Feng's eyes, and the spatial power instantly solidified those monsters.

They resemble manta rays, with a wingspan of nearly three meters, and their edges are covered with dark blue barbs, looking just like poisoned darts.

Jiang Shaoxu was sweating profusely, his voice trembling slightly: "What, what kind of strange thing is this!"

"The featherless bird!"
