Chapter 522 520: Damn Rose!

Phil previously turned white-haired because he absorbed too much pollution, and now Encore has green hair from eating poisonous mushrooms.

Is hair really that easy to change color?

Hilia asked her question with doubt.

Encore waved her hand: "Using hair to expel bad conditions from the body, there's nothing surprising about it. I got the idea from Phil. Not just green, but Encore can also turn purple, blue, red…"

As she spoke, Encore took out a purple mushroom and took a bite.

It didn't take long before her face turned purple. With the flow of magic power, all the purple gathered in her hair, which turned... half green, half purple.

"Oh no, I forgot the toxins from the last mushroom aren't completely cleared. Luckily, there's some time left on the holiday. Hilia, would you like some? Encore can send it over to you?"

Hilia shook her head firmly: "No, thank you."

What kind of joke is this, who wants something that makes their hair change color?

I'm not some gangster thug.

Phil's situation was unavoidable; why would you dye your hair when you have nothing to do?

Hilia was speechless.

The topic had been sidetracked by Encore's hair, and Encore immediately tossed aside anger and enthusiastically shared with Hilia the magical materials she found these days in the Blue Dragon Empire.

Some were materials recorded in identification books, but many were not explained in detail in them.

As they chatted, Hilia felt that Encore was somewhat like Phil, both inclined to take decisive action for their own ideas.

But Encore was more dangerous than Phil.

She directly tasted many plants, sensing the changes of various herbal materials on her taste buds, accurately grasping their components.

Even if Hilia dared to taste them, she couldn't tell.

All she could do was marvel at Encore's bravery.

After understanding Encore's situation, they casually chatted a bit more, and then Hilia cut the contact.

"The 'Holy Daughter' has been 'found,' and the army has retreated. Finally, I don't have to worry about Vanessa's Mother being conscripted."

Hilia felt relieved.

The next day, she went to buy the newspaper that the minstrel liked to publish articles in, intending to see what kind of reaction the minstrel who speculated it was because of her causing the Holy Court's army to press down would have when seeing Encore as the person of exchange.

In a new article, the minstrel expressed great astonishment at the exchange of the 'hostage,' then emphasized again that he wasn't wrong, it must be because Hilia had too much influence, so Hilia was secretly involved in some exchange…

"I also don't know what agreement the Holy Court and the Blue Dragon Empire have reached, but it's definitely not to release Encore."

Thinking of how Encore finally wanted to pick some herbs but was caught by the army led by the Tier Six Mage, escorted to the border, Hilia found it funny and was glad she had sneaked out earlier, or else she would have been the one exchanged.

"But doesn't this confirm the Blue Dragon Empire's 'detention' of the Holy Daughter?"

Hilia was puzzled.

Rose laughed: "Not detention, just 'helping to find her,' Encore will later cooperate and issue a statement, that's the appearance of it. What agreement was really reached, outsiders wouldn't know. I guess it's Dragon Language Magic."

Hilia blinked: "Why?"

"Because Dragon Language Magic is very strong, the Holy Court must be very envious."

"But it's not stronger than 'Super Invincible I Love You.'"

"That's a special case. You'll know if it's Dragon Language Magic once you start school." Rose smiled slightly.

"Then it probably is."

Hilia didn't dwell on it.

Dragon Language Magic is strong, but after Rose informed her about various secrets of Dragon Language Magic, she wasn't very interested in this special magic.

Low-tier Dragon Language Magic has too harsh triggering conditions, while high-tier Dragon Language Magic doesn't have significant additions, lacking the overwhelming power of the low-tier, making it completely unnecessary to specially learn it.

Compared to Dragon Language Magic, Hilia is actually more curious about why the Blue Dragon Magic Academy used to have the 'Super Invincible Big Idiot' combo technique. Unfortunately, during that period on Dragon Island, things happened too frequently, and she didn't get the chance to visit the Blue Dragon Magic Academy.

I wonder if the Blue Dragon Magic Academy stood up to oppose the enemy at the time…

Hilia shook her head, clearing away these thoughts, and entered a state of meditation.

In the coming days, absent of any disturbances, she'll strive to impact Tier Four, and experience the Ascension God Stairs' trial.

...

Land of the Far North.

The Dreamland Ruins have now been discovered, and due to their difficulties and mechanisms, many mercenary corps have been attracted here to challenge it.

Especially after they found that dying inside the ruins doesn't seem to lead to real death, they became even more enthusiastic.

Raphael's appearance didn't attract the mercenaries' attention.

She walked straight into the entrance of the ruins, and entered inside.

She looked at the ruins and suddenly froze.

"The ruins Ashugar uses to disguise appear to have been modified?"

She felt it and understood: "The difficulty is lowered; even being killed inside the dream won't lead to death now. Has he changed?"

Looking at the magnificent Dreamland Ruins, Raphael lingered for a while, then continued through, arriving at the base below.

The base had disappeared now, observing the collapse in front, Raphael shook her head, "Turning back from ruin? Even if so, Lord Rose wouldn't spare you."

She moved forward, slowly passing through the region influenced by Alina, finally entering Alina's sleeping palace.

Faced with the palace, Raphael, who seemed unperturbed earlier, displayed an evolving emotion in her gaze.

"The array has been reinforced. This is not Ashugar's handiwork as he cannot reach this level. Might it be... Lord Rose?"

Raphael's eyes lit up, her gaze grew fervent, but she quickly shook her head and sighed.

"If it's Lord Rose, he should have awakened Alina, so... is it Faruga? Or Jonathan or Dolovaster?"

"Probably Faruga, the First Apostle Faruga isn't someone to perish so easily."

Raphael smiled.

"Looks like Faruga stopped Ashugar from continuing his blood-letting."

She stepped through, unaffected by the palace array's obstruction, which opened its doors automatically upon sensing her aura, allowing her passage.

She approached Alina, looked down at the completely sealed Alina, whose icy fortress even she found challenging to break, touched the cold ice, sensing the faint life fire emanating within, her expression slightly moved.

"Is it really Faruga? This level of protection…"

Could it really be Lord Rose?

Raphael's heartbeat steadily quickened.

It must be!

Absolutely is!

She gazed deeply at Alina.

A slowly emerging expression of anger crossed her face.

Avoids me yet personally protects Alina.

Hmph, that annoying Lord Rose.

Turns out Alina is the most important after all.
