Chapter 192: Chapter 128 This is not the Immortal Realm (Seeking recommendation votes, seeking monthly votes)_2
Hailbo took it down and cradled it in his palm, where the little fellow chirped cheerfully and waved its tiny hands.
“Heh.”
Hailbo laughed and placed it on his shoulder, only to hear a voice coming from behind the archway: “That’s a communication mushroom, the latest creation of Miss Sheila, a small sprite.”
“You can take one with you, if you need to talk about something, just use that.”
The derivatives of Lilith are fairies and sprites, while these mushrooms are not fairies, they can only be called small sprites.
Sprite: A soulless, artificial intelligence-like puppet
Fairy: An awakened creature with intelligence, capable of speech like an animal
Fairy: Possesses the ability to transform into a humanoid form, a common Miracle Troop Type
High-ranking Fairy: Awakened with exclusive bloodline magic, equivalent to an Extraordinary Miracle Troop Type
“You are...”
Hailbo saw the newcomer; it was the Forest Fairy.
Billy: I am Billy, you jackass!!!
“Billy.”
Finally introducing himself properly, Hailbo quickly bowed, saying, “Nice to meet you, Lord Billy.”
Billy: This, this kid, he called me by my name, he actually called me by my name!
“Lord Billy is also known as the Forest Fairy,” meanwhile, Cat Yiyi added: “That’s a nickname bestowed by His Majesty Himself.”
“Bestowed by His Majesty Himself!!”
Hailbo hadn’t expected such an important figure, so he bowed again, and Ina and the Silly Big Guy beside him also bent over: “Greetings, Lord Forest Fairy!”
Billy: I...
“Ahem.”
Billy forced himself to calm down: “Follow, follow me. I’ll show you the way.”
I wonder if the title Forest Fairy contains any deeper meaning?
Like philosophy?
“Rustle rustle.”
Under Billy’s guidance, they passed through the archway.
Normally, everyone would train in the forest, so even today, after more than twenty days, it was Hailbo’s first visit to this lake.
“Wow~~”
Hailbo was mentally prepared for Yatun to be the legendary fairyland.
But no matter how prepared he was, after all, being just an ordinary person, Hailbo’s imagination was nowhere near enough to sustain such a dreamy realm.
“It’s beautiful, so beautiful.”
The lake emitted a quiet glow, mushrooms that could run and jump, leaves fluttering in the air only to quickly fold into a ‘little paper person’, covering its mouth and snickering in secret.
“So beautiful!”
When Tree Elves venture out, they generally wear masks, including Billy.
Ina had seen the breathtakingly beautiful Tree Elf men and women who stood by Bailuo when they first met, but for Hailbo, this was his first encounter.
“They’re like fairy women...”
The word ‘fairy women’ also came from the stories of Hailbo’s mother, and presumably meant holy female Heroic Spirits.
“Thank you for your compliment.”
“However, they are not fairy women,” Billy said, “We are Tree Elves, a unique race found only in Yatun.”
Before long, the group passed through the Tree Elf forest.
Then, they saw the magnificent castle that Lilith had built for Bailuo.
“...”
They had thought their previous experiences were already dreamlike enough.
But only upon seeing the castle did they realize that this was the abode of the King of the fairytale kingdom.
The castle, no, it couldn’t really be called a castle.
The castle was just a part of it, with much more being the town around the castle.
It had three layers of walls.
The first layer was bordered by a moat, with the inner part being the dwellings of the Fairies.
The Fairy Clan’s population had exploded, reaching nearly 4000 in number, but most of them could not become Fairies, remaining but small fairies.
The true Fairies numbered just over 800.
Excluding the Aquatic Tribe, Feathered Tribe, and Fluffy Tribe, there were about 500 left.
Along with their kin, nearly 2000 small fairies lived within the first layer of the castle.
Bailuo wanted to make the castle a fairytale kingdom, just like the town in the animated movie ‘Kung Fu Panda’ he had once seen.
Inside the second wall lived Yatun vassals and their families.
These vassals included the original Yatun Clan, the Tree Elf Race, and some of the High-ranking Fairies.
Owing to family connections, almost all the Yatun Clan lived here.
But this was only temporary. Once the Avalon World stabilized, Bailuo planned to move everyone to that ideal land far from the mundane world.
According to Uncle’s plan, Avalon would become Inner Yatun, beyond the world of mortals.
And Yatun Island would slowly transform into a place for the common folk to live.
Residents of Utopia, as rulers, would govern the common folk and select talented individuals from among them to bring into Avalon, to become part of the People of Yatun.
“Immortal Realm...”
“Heh.”
Billy chuckled, “This is not the Immortal Realm. The real Immortal Realm, you’ll see in a bit.”
Billy had visited the Avalon World and seen its dreamy scenery, his horizons greatly broadened; he had already become largely immune to the beauty of the mundane.
The saying “used to the ocean, one finds a river not magnificent; apart from the Witch Mountain, clouds elsewhere aren’t seen as marvelous” probably describes this feeling.
