Chapter 545: It’s Unusual

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Hilda was no stranger to the planet of Holletta. Strictly speaking, she was no stranger to the Hollettan Kingdom. After all, she had accidentally dropped in on this kingdom during her time-traveling episode. But at that time, she just went around in a hurry, not knowing the situation of the planet. She did not even know what was went on beyond the plains and the Beinz parish, therefore Hao Ren needed to introduce everything to her. After hearing about the First Born, she was completely stunned.

Hilda flickered for a few moments before stopping. She folded her hands on her chest and asked Hao Ren earnestly,

"Are you sure it is a plant?

"

"You can also say that it's an animal. After all, plants are rarely able to use tens of thousands of tentacles to attack people. But according to its current state, it's rooted in the depths of the planet's crust, therefore it's closer to a plant,

" Hao Ren explained and sighed, handing a holographic data disk to Hilda.

"This is information about the First Born, a variety unique to the Plane of Dreams. You should be thankful that they exist only in the Plane of Dreams.

"

Hilda was reading the contents of the data disk, looking more and more surprised. The powerful strange supernatural creature was obviously an eye-opener for Her Majesty, and Hao Ren had to cough to remind her.

"Relax, the First Born will not attack this place. You're flickering too fast.

"

As she hastened to calm down, she suddenly remembered the ancient, giant spaceship on New Aerym's orbit and asked,

"Wait, the space fortress that is docked on the synchronous orbit... The shape of those tentacles within it is very similar to these.

"

"Yes, that's the First Born.

" Hao Ren nodded.

"But don't worry, it's already dead. And not all of the First Borns are menacing. The tentacles on that ancient, giant spaceship are gentle at the very least. But unfortunately, it's dead.

"

Hilda frowned.

"We are willing to follow your instructions, but I want to ensure the safety of this course of action... This creature known as the First Born is beyond my knowledge. It is dangerous and is a natural enemy of all life. Are you sure it is safe to dig it out of the planet?

"

Hao Ren smiled and said,

"Of course I'm sure. We have created nerve suppressors and drugs that will allow the First Born to fall into a deep sleep. Even a nuclear bomb won't wake it up. You should believe in our technology.

"

Hilda thought about her planet, which was created by the Xi Ling Empire. With their technology, it should not be a problem, so she finally nodded.

"Alright, please forgive me for the question. I have to be responsible for my people.

"

After Hilda agreed, Hao Ren felt relieved but also a little sorry at the same time.

"I feel quite sorry about asking for your help all the time. After all, your planet's in a difficult situation too…

"

Hao Ren still saw himself as an ordinary person, so he felt sorry every time he asked for help from the elves of Aerym. However, Hilda did not think of it that way. Her Majesty smiled gracefully and said,

"You are the landlord of this planet. Is there a psychological burden in you asking for help from us?

"

Hao Ren touched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly. Nangong Wuyue muttered,

"Well, don't let them work too hard. Remember how King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty died, how the First Emperor of Qin died, how the Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty died…

"

"Can't you say something nice?

" Hao Ren condemned.

After receiving instructions from Hao Ren, Hilda told them that she needed a little time to gather manpower and prepare those large construction machines. Aerym had lots of large machines. It was a piece of cake to ask them to gouge out a 200-km pit on another planet. After all, they had dismantled their own planet before. Hao Ren remembered that the only stable passage leading to the Plane of Dreams was the spatial rift beneath Andrea Castle, hence the large machinery would not be able to go in. So he reminded Hilda,

"Let me know when the equipment are ready. I'll put them into my Dimensional Pocket.

"

Hilda did not understand what he meant by

"put them into

", but she nodded and said,

"Okay.

"

After talking about the project, Y'zaks and Y'lisabet wanted to visit Helcrown, so Hilda warmly invited all of them aboard the Royal Airship. Currently, the Kingdom of Aerym was rapidly building their infrastructure, and transportation was one of the fastest-growing projects. There were temporary and permanent routes already opened between all the large settlements on the planet. Hilda also personally approved a direct flight route from Minas Elenion to Helcrown.

Although they could go by teleportation, trying the airship created by the elves looked like a very interesting experience, so they agreed.

They left the Royal Tower and went to the landing platform. Y'lisabet looked around curiously along the way, and when she went out, she suddenly saw something interesting.

"Hmm, you guys engrave your own guardian beast on the door too?

"

Hao Ren looked in the direction of the little girl's finger and found that the gate of the Royal Tower was engraved with the current guardian beast of the Aerymian elves: the left side of the door was engraved with a husky, and the right door was engraved with Lily…

As mentioned before, Lily had been chosen as the guardian of the Kingdom of Aerym, given her mighty look in beast form. This was proof.

Hao Ren looked at Lily's image on the door and could not find the right words to say. However, Lily did not feel awkward at all. Lily proudly put her hands on her hips, posing in the same posture as the image on the door and asked,

"Landlord, do I look powerful enough to ward off evil spirits?

"

Hao Ren covered his forehead, sighed and said,

"You're also an unusual creature.

"

Y'lisabet blinked while she looked at Lily's image on the door. Suddenly, she said,

"Actually, I think my father'simage more suitable to be engraved on the door. Look at how powerful my dad is, he'll surely ward off evil spirits…

"

Hao Ren looked at Y'zaks' face that could not only ward off evil spirits but also act as a contraceptive. He imagined how it would look like if his face was engraved on the door of every household. He scared himself a little and said,

"Forget it. Your dad's face looks like a wanted criminal. It's better to draw a husky.

"

Y'zaks was speechless.

Nangong Wuyue poked Hao Ren on the shoulder with the tip of her tail and asked,

"And why is it that I can't speak again?

"

The airship had been waiting for them on the landing platform. Lily suddenly remembered something and asked,

"Where's Rollie?

"

"Oh, my cat!

" Hao Ren smacked his forehead and turned to Hilda.

"Please send someone to look for my cat… Umm, where is she?

"

Then, they heard a bright voice saying,

"There is no need to find her, she is here.

"

Hao Ren looked around and found Vimm standing not too far away. The silly cat was squatting proudly right next to him. When the cat girl saw Hao Ren, she trotted happily towards him and said,

"Meow, this place is really good!

"

Hao Ren came forward to say hello to Vimm. The young prince regent smiled gently and said,

"Sorry, for not coming over to greet all of you earlier. I was in the Heavy Industry Institute.

"

"Never mind. Coming here via teleportation is easy anyway,

" Hao Ren said happily, and asked,

"But, how did you meet her?

"

Hao Ren asked as he looked at Rollie. The cat girl was squatting there, rubbing her head against his leg. Hao Ren immediately stopped her.

"Stand up! How many times have I told you to walk upright…

"

"She climbed up to the eaves of the Industrial Institute but could not come down. After that, a few guards came to me for help.

" Vimm shrugged, then asked,

"So, this pair of furry ears... Is she also a 'werewolf'?

"

There were no cats or dogs in Aerym. Vimm thought that the cat girl and Lily were of the same species. Hao Ren hurriedly explained,

"No, no, this is a cat…

"

"Oh, so the cats on Earth look like this?

" asked Vimm.

"…Normal cats don't look like this, but most of the creatures in my house aren't normal!

"

Vimm pondered about the distinguishing features of the group of people around Hao Ren. He then nodded and said,

"Indeed, they all look distinct.

"

Hao Ren immediately thought to himself, I didn't expect the virtuous and sincere prince to say something like that…

After Rollie returned to the team, all of them went aboard the Royal Airship and set off.

Vimm and Hilda were standing together, watching the Royal Airship disappear into the sky under the escort of several cruisers. Something suddenly crossed Vimm's mind and he asked,

"Mother, did you forget to take your body back?

"

Hilda was speechless.

On the airship, Hao Ren was looking at the curved horizon outside the porthole (the long-distance flight was usually navigated outside the atmospheric layer). At the same time, he was pressing down on Rollie's head to prevent the cat from going out, and mumbling to himself,

"Why do I feel like I've forgotten something?

"

"It's probably not important anyway,

" Lily muttered as she pressed her face against the porthole.

"Hey, Landlord, I can see Helcrown!

"

Hao Ren gave her the side-eye and said,

"We're outside the atmospheric layer, you can't see… What the heck?! Really?!

"

Y'zaks also saw the situation outside the porthole and was shocked.

"Isn't it docked on the south coast? How did it float to the top of the atmosphere?

"
