Chapter 307: Queer Uncle and Little Loli

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Eight thousand years was such a long time ago. Even the Corpse Wizard King needed some time to recall the details, no matter how good his memory.

“Sir, back in the Dimension of Dead Souls, I have only heard of the abundant energy, fresh blood, and delicious souls of the Tailun Continent. I am, however, unaware of what triggered the Great Battle of the Gods and Demons broke out during the Ancient times, and what caused the sudden influx of the Highest Gods into Tailun Continent.”

Corpse Wizard King Rodriguez looked at a confused Yang Ling and shook his head in slight regret. While he had arduously survived the Massive Space-Time Tear to arrive at Tailun, he had no time to explore the area at all. He wasn’t even sure of the exact location of the Ancient Graveyard of Deities and Demons, much less about the trigger for the Great Battle of the Gods and Demons.

“Rodriguez, have you heard of anything regarding the Ancient Wizards or Ancient Summoners?” Seeing that the Corpse Wizard King is too unclear about what happened during the Great Battle, Yang Ling settled for the next best question. For some reason, he has a premonition that the Ancient Wizards are significantly related to the Great Battle.

Ancient Wizards?

The Corpse Wizard King frowned deeply and thought for a long while. He shook his head again, “Sir, I had never heard of the Ancient Wizards or the Ancient Summoners when I was still in the Dimension of Dead Souls. However...rumor has it that there is a Skyreach Tower in the depths of Bone Sea. The exterior of the tower was inscribed with the murals depicting all sorts of Magical Beasts and Priests. It has a similar shape to the tower in front. Could it be related to the Ancient Wizards that you just mentioned?”

Skyreach Tower?

A mysterious tower with a shape almost like the Wizard’s Pagoda, the one with murals of magical beasts and Priests carved onto its outer walls?

Through then Corpse Wizard King, Yang Ling quickly realized that the rumored Skyreach Tower is simply a blown-up version of a Wizard’s Pagoda. He was elated; this must be the closest hint he had gotten about the Ancient Wizards. He asked, “Rodriguez, is there a way to travel to the Dimension of Dead Souls?”

“Sir, there is, but... ...” the Corpse Wizard King paused, then shook his head yet again at the visibly excited Yang Ling. He continued, “only Divine-level Experts can use the Massive Space-Time Tear to travel freely between the Tailun Continent and the Dimension of Dead Souls. Otherwise, they could either use a Divine Weapon as a shield against the terrifying space turbulence or risk their lives and gamble for a chance to survive the tear!”

Rodriguez remembered how difficult it was to pass through the Massive Space-Time Tear; the mere thought of the horrendous space turbulence still sent shivers down his spine. He had suffered grave injuries from passing through the Massive Space-Time Tear, which hindered his recovery to peak condition. If not for that, the Holy Dragon could never have sealed him.

Divine Weapon?

The Corpse Wizard King shook his head in slight regret. Yang Ling, however, perked at the news. He knew that it was practically impossible to evolve into a Wizard Deity, or what they call here as the God-like Level, within such a short time.

To regular people, a Divine Weapon something as rare as a Divine-level Expert. However, the same could not be said for Yang Ling. With an immensely powerful Ice-sealing Throne, it might be possible for him to travel freely between the Tailun Continent and the Dimension of Dead Souls through the Massive Space-Time Tear. When the time comes, he could head to the Dimension of Dead Souls to explore the secrets of the Skyreach Tower and search for the relics of the Ancient Wizards.

“Right, Sir...I doubt the I could recover more of my strength within this period. Could we first go outside... ...” queried an expectant Corpse Wizard King, who fixed his eyes at Yang Ling.

After all, he had stayed several thousand years in the depressing Dimension of Dead Souls, then got sealed in the underground city for 8000 years. Anyone else would have gone insane. Although he did persevere long enough to see the light at the end of the tunnel, he was still enamored of the outside world.

Yang Ling smiled wryly at the Corpse Wizard King, covered from head to toe in dark fumes, “Rodriguez, you can’t go out looking like that. Even if you’re unafraid of being hunted, it’ll surely bring great trouble for the both of us!”

Having tamed him, Yang Ling quickly understood the Corpse Wizard King’s desire to go out. It’s something anyone would yearn. However, running out in that appearance will surely ignite a commotion of an unimaginable scale. Both the Church and the Dark Association would most definitely come back at once.

“You needn’t worry about that, Sir. How about this?”

The Corpse Wizard King was overjoyed that Yang Ling did not oppose his request outright. After murmuring for some time, his signature black fumes swiftly faded. Apart from his figure, he also transformed his facial features changed entirely. He looked decent after donning a magic robe.

Yang Ling nodded upon seeing the Corpse Wizard King’s new appearance, “All right then. From this day on, you are Roke, a Dark Spellcaster sent by my family. However, let me make this clear. When in the realm, you are not allowed to act at will!”

With Rodriguez’s current look, no one would recognize him as the Corpse Wizard King so long as he doesn’t suck people dry of their blood and soul. Not only that, but the Corpse Wizard King is the most powerful being in the domain when at his peak. With him roaming the area, the realm will be much safer. It’s akin to having an overpowered bouncer.

“Hehe, rest assured, Sir! I won’t make a move on people on the same side!” The Corpse Wizard King cackled evilly, “however, I assume that those hypocrites from the Church are not under your protection? Those dragons, kekeke, it’s been 8000 years. It’s payback time!”

He was sealed alive by the Holy Dragon 8000 years ago. When he finally struggled free, the Church of Light led various forces in aggressive pursuit. Temper exists even within clay men, let alone the Corpse Wizard King, who was once a big wig of the Dimension of Dead Souls!

After being tamed, he could no longer settle the score with Yang Ling, his Lord. Therefore, he released all of his anger towards the Church and the Dragons.

Three minutes of silence for the Church!

Yang Ling did not support nor oppose the Corpse Wizard King’s wants. So long as he is in rein and brings no trouble to the Magical Beast Realm, he is more than happy to see the arrogant and hypocritic Church bogged down by a Corpse Wizard King now free. In fact, he might even encourage the Corpse Wizard King to wreak havoc at the Church’s territories if necessary.

The Corpse Wizard King is a powerhouse whose strength peaked the domain could summon a large number of the undead to battle. No matter how powerful the Church is, he will be a headache to deal with!

After introducing the Corpse Wizard King to everyone as the guard sent by his family, Yang Ling plunged into extreme busyness.

You can find him discussing plans of realm development with Goode, sending people to explore and unearth the resources of the underground city. Otherwise, he would be formulating the training regime of the new navy with Ashnamov, sending scouts to map the nautical charts of the surrounding sea. They would poke the whereabouts of the pirates, working to open sea routes to large human cities such as the Bavaria Plains. Other times, he would be grasping every crumb of free time to cultivate, solidifying his attainment of the intermediate divine wizard stage.

Amidst the frenzy, he did not notice that the Corpse Wizard King had begun to leave early and return late. Sometimes, he might even go undetected all day, where no one knew where he was or where he went. No one knew what kind of sinister deeds he was up to.

Until one day, Madam Thatcher, the owner of the bar, arrived at his doy. That was when he finally realized the gravity of the situation!

Yang Ling didn’t know if the Corpse Wizard King had always been lecherous, or because he had not touched a woman in 8000 years, but the Corpse Wizard King has been lingering in all sorts of bars and inns. It would have just been a problem of lifestyle if he’s wooing some pretty waitresses or some flirty whores. However, it turns out that he has a staggeringly bad hobby!

This old lecher over ten thousand years old feels nothing for alluring madame like Madam Thatcher or beautiful young girls. Instead, he likes young, innocent girls who are well endowed. He would trick them into calling him “Uncle”, and in the name of treating them to chicken wings or teaching them spells, lure them out, and... ...

“His Lordship, please help me, I beg of you! Bess is my one and only daughter. She’s only twelve! If she...I’ll rather not live!” Madam Thatcher cried rivers when she finally got hold of Yang Ling.

When she first heard that the Corpse Wizard King was a spellcaster of Yang Ling’s family, Madam Thatcher was at first very welcoming, thinking that he looked like a decent man. She served him tea and wine, and refused to take any payment; she even introduced her sweet daughter to the Corpse Wizard King, hoping that he could teach her some mysterious magic.

If she could get into His Lordship’s good books through the Corpse Wizard King, who would dare to create trouble in her bar?

Although her wealthy but old husband had passed away early, Madam Thatcher has picked up the secrets of his trade and was an intelligent woman. Ever since she unexpectedly received considerable compensation from Yang Ling after the Druids destroyed her pub, she has always contemplated on how she could strengthen her relationship with Yang Ling, the Lord.

Her cleverness proved to be her folly!

Madam Thatcher has it all planned out, but she never imagined that she would push her daughter into the embrace of a big bad wolf.

She paid no mind when she knew that her daughter had left with the Corpse Wizard King. However, her daughter hadn’t returned after almost a day, and she heard rumors of his ‘preferences’ along the way. She finally realized that something was amiss, but could not find the Corpse Wizard King anywhere. That’s when she steeled herself and looked for Yang Ling, with tears streaming down her cheeks.

Pedophile?

Yang Ling finally understood what happened and felt his head spin at the development. He was stunned speechless. It would be easier to handle the matter if the Corpse Wizard King had killed someone in public. Now that he made a scandal this huge, he had embarrassed not just him, but also his made-up family!

Yang Ling dare not delve deeper into the matter. He shook his head and consoled Madam Thatcher, who could not stop crying. He then left immediately.

It may be difficult for others to find the Corpse Wizard King, but it was a piece of cake for Yang Ling. Following the lead of the strand of consciousness he left in the Corpse Wizard King’s mind, he teleported to his location using the Earth Evasion Spell. He found him and a little girl hiding in a remote cave within the depths of Terras Forest.

“Uncle Roke, I’m hungry! I wanna eat grilled chicken wings!”

“Kekeke, all right, we’ll head back after we hold it for a while more! Didn’t you want to know where babies come from? Here, let Uncle tell you in detail!”

“Ah... ...Uncle Roke, let’s change into another position. My tummy hurts squatting like this!”

“Oh...this is great, don’t move! It’ll be over soon!”

... ...

Hiding behind a huge boulder, Yang Ling could no longer bear their outrageous conversation. If he allowed the Corpse Wizard King to continue in his antics, he would surely ruin the reputation of him, his Lord! Yang Ling emerged from behind the boulder and strode out in great fury. When he saw the peculiar situation within the cave, he was stupefied by what was happening, unable to believe his eyes!
