I'm not just human!

Chestnut shook her head and said softly:

"I need to go to the Holy Cathedral in Augustus today to report on the afternoon's events."

Xia Fa seemed to be deep in thought:

"Okay, I'll head back now."

He turned to leave, but Chestnut's voice rang out behind him.

"Xia Fa, wait...wait a minute."

Xia Fa turned around and asked curiously:

"what happened?"

Chestnut opened her little mouth, as if to speak, but suddenly became shy, lowered her head, and after a long while, said in a soft voice:

"Tomorrow, where shall we meet tomorrow?"

Xia Fa thought for a moment, then smiled and said:

"The upper part of Augustus, right in front of the Holy Cathedral."

Perfect timing! He can get up early tomorrow, go to the Extraordinary Market, sell everything he needs, and even cash the bank draft.

Only when he exchanged his money into piles and put it in his purse would Xia Fa feel truly at ease.

In that case, Xiafa estimated that he would have a huge sum of about two million gold pounds!

In this situation, what can't you afford to buy in the upper part of Augustus?

……

More than an hour later.

Rum City.

Daniel Street.

Xia Fa pushed open the door to his small attic, only to find the house empty.

The doll girl, who used to prepare a large, delicious meal and then sit on the sofa eating dried fish while waiting for him to come home, had gone to the Endless Realm for training today.

Although she was a little hungry, Xia Fa decided not to rush to get a meal and to check on Benedict's condition first.

With a flick of his wrist, he produced the bronze-cased "Benise's Training Notebook."

This time, Xia Fa was very familiar with the process and turned to the latest page.

I saw that it was written:

[Benise's Training Notes, Third Training]

Location: Ingenious Castle

"A mechanical castle?"

Xia Fa was somewhat surprised, and also somewhat curious.

Wasn't Bennett's past training all conducted in places where stars rose to prominence?

The Land of Rising Stars appears to be a very large ruin, containing not only numerous abandoned temples, but also the Lake of the Siren Cerol and the Forest of Bones.

Moreover, it is estimated that these three combined only occupy a small part of the area where the stars rise, and there are still many places worth exploring, with very rich loot.

But how come Benedict is at the Crypt of the Machines this time?

More importantly, isn't the Machin Castle the base of the doll girls, with the Doll Queen in charge? I doubt anyone would dare to cause trouble. How is Beneath going to take any risks?

This page of the notebook contains long rows of text, carrying a faint scent of ink.

With many questions in mind, Xia Fa began reading with great interest.

[Benise has returned to the Ingenious Castle in the Endless Realm!]

The sisters were overjoyed to see Benedict return and cooked her a big meal.

At the dinner table, Benedict Cumberbatch shared her experiences over the past few days while eating, deliberately mentioning Shafa's achievements at the Fog Carnival.

The sisters became even more curious about Shafa, clamoring for Benedict to bring Shafa back to the Magic Castle to see for themselves.

Benedict agreed with a smile, and was very happy.

[Benise was full and a little sleepy, so she went back to her long-missed bedroom, hugged her favorite teddy bear plush toy, and fell asleep.]

[Benise was suddenly awakened in the middle of the night!]

The night in the Endless Realm is just like the real world—pitch black, but with three moons hanging high in the sky.

Looking at the faint moonlight streaming through the window, Benedict sat up in bed, her face scrunched up, as if wondering why she had been woken up.

Moreover, because she was startled awake, she couldn't fall back asleep.

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from downstairs, clearly reaching Bennett's ears through the floor.

Beneath was puzzled. Wasn't the downstairs a storage room? What could be making noises?

It seems she was awakened by that sound!

Realizing there might be an intruder, Benedict quietly got up, put on her black dress, and, barefoot, carefully walked down the stairs of the Ingenious Castle.

She arrived at the door of the storage room, only to find it ajar.

[As expected, someone has hacked in!]

[Benise felt a little nervous. A light appeared behind her, and the Sword of the Puppet Princess appeared.]

She placed one hand on the hilt of the Princess Doll's Sword behind her back, pushed open the door, and went inside.

But the next moment, Benedict relaxed.

[There they were, the cats that are common in the magical castle. These little guys seemed to be hungry, and they ran into the storage room looking for food, knocking over the boxes.]

Seeing Benedict enter, the kittens meowed at her a few times before slipping out through the crack in the door.

After carefully checking the storage room and confirming that there were no intruders, Benedict was about to go back to her bedroom to sleep.

[Ding-dong!]

With a soft thud, something fell out of a wooden crate in the storage room and slid to the ground.

Beneath turned her head curiously and, by the moonlight, saw what it was.

It was a ring, crafted from obsidian, and quite antique.

Beneath picked it up with a hint of doubt, but just then, an ancient soul leaped out of the ring.

That was also a doll, but not a doll girl; rather, it was a doll queen who held a scepter, wore a crown, and had a majestic appearance.

[This... is actually the soul of a doll queen!]

"Child, you've met me, that's good. Help me with something, and I will grant you a great opportunity."

Upon seeing this, Xia Fa's face suddenly displayed a complex expression, including a bit of speechlessness, a strong urge to complain, and a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

This plot, wait, this training... why does it seem a little familiar?

The old man in the ring?

Chapter 156 The Divine Sword of the Puppet God, the Family Feast of the Augustus Family, and the Identity About to be Revealed?

Xia Fa immediately became very interested.

On previous occasions, he had looked at the records in Benedict's training notes more out of concern for her.

And, be ready at any time to provide support to the doll girl through this training notebook.

But this time, it must be said, Benny seems to have embarked on a very unique experience.

Xia Fa glanced at the dark red leather sofa, found a comfortable spot, and prepared to watch the show.

But as soon as he sat down, he felt that something was missing.

Hmm... lacking snacks.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Fa waved his hand and took out one of the paws of the Mountain Dragon Bear from the black bag.

With a thud, the bear paw landed on the ground, almost covering the entire living room floor.

Xia Fa bent down and placed one palm on the bear's paw.

A mercury-like light flowed across the surface of the bear's paw, as if it had been washed with water, and the fur immediately fell off from the roots.

Xia Fa flipped his folding knife and cut off a large piece of raw flesh with skin, then put away the bear paw, which was over twenty meters in diameter.

This time, Xia Fa took a slight shortcut and directly used the burning sensation in all the cells of his body to activate the power of the fire element in the Ether Source and inject it into the bear paw meat.

In just a moment, the bear paw meat was cooked through, inside and out, with white steam rising and an enticing aroma.

Xia Fa then went to the kitchen and got chili powder, cumin powder, and white sesame seeds, poured them all into a plate, and placed it on the tea table.

He then sat back comfortably on the sofa, dipping bear paw meat in the sauce and munching on it, while using the blue energy to flip through Benedict's training notes.

After a long day, it's the perfect time to relax and enjoy yourself.

Bear paw meat is extremely chewy and tender, tasting like large pieces of beef tendon, but with a unique and mellow flavor, and also has a fruity aroma.

The next page of the copper-bound notebook was also filled with new text, giving Xia Fa the feeling of reading a novel.

Beneath watched warily as the spirit emerged from the obsidian ring, and took two steps back in fright.

"Who...who are you?"

The spirit of the Doll Queen smiled, yet her smile carried an inherent majesty. She uttered that noble name, word by word:

"My name is... Heather Pearl!"

Unexpectedly, Benedict Cumberbatch was stunned, her delicate face filled with confusion.

"Hessepleia? Who is that?"

The expression on the Doll Queen's soul froze for a moment, then she let out a helpless sigh:

"I am the previous Puppet Queen of the Endless Realm."

[After being reminded by Him, Benedict seemed to remember:]
