"To personally intervene in environmental restoration is incredibly kind!"
Aura's eyes, looking up at her like a puppy's, were wet and full of adoration for her master.
Not only Aura, but also Mare, and even Medusa, who was perched on Xia Yan's head in 303, had her originally lazy and world-weary face become more energetic.
After all, even if she was supposed to know Xia Yan very well, she couldn't possibly know about his powers from other worlds.
On the contrary, Suzuki Satoru was not too surprised, but showed an expression that said, "That's how it should be."
When Aura praised him, he nodded in agreement, looking pleased and honored.
Perhaps it was because Xia Yan's performance was so amazing that he felt that whatever Xia Yan did was perfectly reasonable.
"Well—calm down. After all, the Great Tomb is our home. If it was accidentally damaged, it's only natural to repair it."
"And if it were Mare, he should be able to do it easily too."
Although Xia Yan is shameless enough, he has been a big shot for decades and is not as shameless as Xia Yan from Demon Slayer or Gintama.
He felt a little embarrassed because the children looked at him like he was Superman and bragged about him so much over such a small thing.
As he spoke, he bent down one wing and used the wing membrane to rub Mare's short, golden hair.
It feels as smooth as the finest silk.
Aura, standing to the side, saw undisguised envy in her eyes.
Chapter Twenty-Two: The CPU of the Underage Dark Elf Twins
"No, no, no! I... I'm far from good enough! Restoring such a large forest would take a lot of time and resources! How can someone like me compare to Lord Nidhogg!"
Ma Lei's tone was somewhat flustered, as if he felt that comparing himself to Xia Yan was an insult to Xia Yan.
However, the expression on his face showed that he was thoroughly enjoying himself.
It should be said that they were enjoying themselves too much!
With her eyes half-closed and cheeks flushed, she seemed to melt away, appearing quite shy.
He's clearly a boy, but he's excessively cute.
All I can say is that Bubble Tea Kettle is a deeply sinful woman.
Of course, Ma Lei's words were not just modesty; it was indeed not easy for him to reach Xia Yan's level.
Mare is a Druid mage, so he is able to master a large number of nature-based spells and is theoretically very good at things like planting trees and creating forests.
However, since his job is a magic-based firepower annihilation class, most of his skills are chosen to be offensive.
Therefore, he didn't actually possess much magic that could control the growth of trees.
Therefore, if he wanted to restore a large area of forest to its original state like Xia Yan did, he might need to work for more than half an hour.
Moreover, because this kind of magic that alters the surrounding ring has considerable strategic value, although its rank is not very high, the amount of magic power it consumes is quite significant.
"Don't underestimate yourself. You are the masterpiece of the Bubble Tea Cauldron, which is as supreme as I am. You should... no, you must be even more proud of yourself, both in terms of your existence and your abilities."
"Aura is the same; you two are siblings created by Bubble Teapot based on himself and his brother Peroroncino."
"The Bubble Tea Cauldron paid a considerable price for the birth of both of you, so it's not unreasonable for you two to consider yourselves as a continuation of each other's lives."
As he spoke, Xia Yan also stretched out his other wing and ruffled Aura's hair.
Unlike Mare, who reacted extremely awkwardly, Aura showed a cheerful and sunny smile.
He was visibly very happy, like a golden retriever having its chin scratched.
Perhaps because he looks like a boy, his hair, though still very smooth, is a bit frizzy compared to the luxurious feel of Marie's silk.
Xia Yan is an underground emperor who controls 15 percent of the world's economy in the real world.
Although he had altered the memories of every subordinate with magic, they would never betray him.
However, he is quite adept at using eloquent phrases to motivate his subordinates.
After all, just a few words can transform someone's work enthusiasm from 100% to 120% or even 200%.
Why not take advantage of something so cost-effective?
Moreover, what he said wasn't a lie; Bubble Teapot did indeed pay a considerable price to create the siblings Aura and Mare.
Although the Great Tomb of Nazarick is a fairly high-level guild stronghold, the number of max-level NPCs that can be obtained is still limited.
With 42 members, there wasn't enough for each person to have a share, and most of the NPCs created by the members were not at the maximum level.
For example, the battle maids in the Pleiades cluster, even the highest-ranking one, Narberal Gama, is only level 63.
The lowest level, Hizdelta, is only level 42.
Bubble Tea Cauldron alone occupied the slots of two level 100 NPCs. Even though she was one of only three girls in the guild and received preferential treatment, it still cost her a considerable amount of money.
Besides the inevitable in-game purchases, they gave everyone a watch with audio recordings they made themselves, and even offered their bodies as a gift.
Of course, this refers to working for others as the strongest tank in the guild.
As expected, upon hearing Xia Yan's words, Aura and Mare immediately straightened their backs and raised their heads, exuding a light and airy feeling. Their eyes were filled with genuine respect when they looked at Xia Yan.
Completely oblivious to the expression Medusa, perched on Xia Yan's head, gave him as if he were a complete idiot.
"Alright, let's go to the circular arena first. Making people wait is not a good habit. I also need you to help me with some tests."
As he spoke, Xia Yan had already opened a portal.
A shadow appeared on the ground in front of him, and then the shadow transformed into a shape resembling a door.
It is three meters high and more than ten meters wide, so even Xia Yan in his dragon form can pass through it easily.
Although many parts of the Great Tomb have the effect of blocking teleportation magic, this does not include the sixth floor.
Considering the presence of Aura and Mare, and that the situation was not urgent, Xia Yan chose the portal instead of the seventh-tier higher-level teleportation.
Led by Xia Yan, a dragon, a snake, a skeleton, and two dark elves passed through the portal.
At the other end of the gate was the center of the circular arena.
This is an elliptical space with a major axis of 188 meters, a minor axis of 156 meters, and a height of 48 meters.
To be honest, this size is not even a third of Xia Yan's previous size. If he doesn't shrink, even if he tries his best to curl up, he will crush all the surrounding walls into ruins.
In terms of appearance, it is clearly inspired by the amphitheaters built during the Roman Empire.
Every corner was enchanted with a magic called Everlasting Light, so even when the starry night sky overhead was shining brightly, the interior of the arena remained as bright as day.
The general audience seats were also filled with earthen golems.
Completely incapable of fighting, they can't even move freely from their current position; at most, they can only stand up, cheer, and create a lively atmosphere.
All the golems here were created by Lucifer alone.
Although it's not difficult, it's just copy-and-paste work, but it's quite tedious.
He filled all the seats, which shows his perverse sense of humor.
As a guild entirely composed of Alien players, the Great Tomb of Nazarick is like a high-difficulty dungeon to other players.
Therefore, challengers naturally flocked to the challenge.
However, apart from the one and only large-scale invasion involving 1,500 people, where they successfully broke through to the eighth level only to be wiped out.
No matter how tenacious the other invaders, they will at most meet their end here.
Chapter Twenty-Three: Hot Spring Ultrasonic Massage
"Huh!? You mean, you want me to launch an attack on you!?"
Upon hearing Xia Yan's words, Suzuki Satoru took a half step back, so surprised that he involuntarily activated his Despair Aura.
"Is it necessary to be so surprised?"
Looking at Suzuki Satoru, who was fuming with black smoke from his body after being frightened by his request, Natsuhiko scratched his head speechlessly: "Anyway, you came here to conduct a test, so you might as well use me as the target of your spell."
"I also need to test how my skill effects change after using the world item."
"That's... true..."
As expected of Xia Yansang, he guessed my purpose for coming to the circular arena right away!
I haven't done anything yet.
If that's the case, he must have had a deeper meaning in doing so, right?
Suzuki Satoru subconsciously engaged in a deep reading and understanding of Natsuhiko's words.
The guardians are almost here, why now...?
correct!
We have to do this because the guardians are about to arrive!
Although they seem to remain loyal for now, it is necessary to demonstrate overwhelming power in front of them! This is something only Xia Yan 953-san can do, and it will definitely have a powerful deterrent effect!
First, they arrive at the destination ahead of the guardians, demonstrating their benevolent attitude, and then they display their powerful strength to intimidate.
By combining kindness and severity, the chances of them having ulterior motives will be much smaller!
No, not only that!
In YGGDRASIL, attacks between guild members or teammates will not have any effect.
To avoid any unnecessary trouble in the future, it is necessary to conduct some tests in advance.
They not only tested each other's skills, but also intimidated the other NPCs, and tested whether the game rules were still in effect.
Kill four birds with one stone!
Such a simple action concealed so many ulterior motives!
"I see! I understand now, as expected of Xia Yansang!"
"what?"
Looking at Suzuki Satoru's suddenly enlightened expression, Natsuhiko really wanted to grab him by the collar and ask him, "What do you understand now?"
However, it wasn't just Suzuki Satoru who habitually filled in the blanks about his own actions; Natsuhiko had also begun to get used to Suzuki Satoru filling in the blanks about him.
