After White Sun filled his stomach, he turned to look at Iris and asked, "Where are we going next, Mom?"
"We're going to White Stork Empire to find Teacher Lou."
"Teacher Lou? Who's that? A human or a vampire?" White Sun asked a series of questions.
"He's a human, a teacher from Tiandu Magic Academy. He has something I need, and I believe he'll give it to me. No one is more suitable for it than I am, and it was mine."
Although the thing belongs to Chaos, Night White is the host of Chaos. So it is not too much to say that that thing is hers.
"He's a human, a teacher from Tiandu Magic Academy. He has something I need."
"Okay." Then White Sun drove towards the direction of the White Stork Empire , with Iris sitting in the back.
...
It suddenly got hotter. It was now the hot summer and the sun was scorching, making the air burning hot.
"It's so hot!" Iris gasped and said. She was sweating all over, and her clothes were sticky.
It had been five months since she left the blood clan in July, but she was still on her way to White Stork Empire.
Because Iris was terrible with directions and the blood clan was after her, she didn't dare to ask for directions and got lost many times.
Fortunately, Iris was unkempt and ragged, her hair covering half of her cheeks like a beggar's. She eventually got directions from a lame blood clan old woman, otherwise Iris wouldn't have known where to go.
Iris had now reached the buffer zone between humans and vampires, which is the Black Wind Mountain area.
Iris transformed back into her human form. Now Night White was about 1.75 meters tall, much taller than her vampire form, but he was very thin and weak. He lacked some male characteristics such as the Adam's apple and beards. Probably due to the genes from Lilia Night White's appearance was a bit feminine. However, Night White now looked disheveled and couldn't be distinguished as male or female.
Black Wind Mountain was governed by both races, and there was no conflict in this area. Items could be exchanged and traded between the two races. Although Night White was living in the human area, he wandered over to the vampire's stall from time to time, and his mouth occasionally drooled, but he immediately swallowed.
Night White reached into his pocket and muttered to himself, "Oh well, I'm flat broke now. So should I rob them? That would just be ridiculous."
For the past five months, Night White mainly drank the blood of monsters. When there was no blood to drink, he had to resort to drinking a little bit of White Sun's blood, which did not harm White Sun in any way. Especially since White Sun already ate enough, he could do without food for some time.
Although Night White was not hungry now, he was still craving for food...
Night White had not eaten a proper meal in five months. Although Night White was now a Forbidden Spell mage, he didn't dare to move in the vampire territory. If he did, countless Shadow Guards would chase after him, and even Lilia herself would come after him. Now Lilia was very eager to kill him.
"Alas..." Night White sighed, "I guess I'll have to beg for food." Night White ran to other beggars’ and grabbed their bowls.
The beggar grumbled and threatened to beat Night White, but then the strange and ominous shadow appeared in Night White’s hand. The beggar looked obsequious and said, "So it's the mage. I don't want the bowl anymore. Take it." And then the beggar fled.
The beggar's rice bowl was taken away, and he was more and more dissatisfied, "What the fuck! Now the mage is fighting with the beggar for the rice bowl, which is really outrageous." However, the beggar can only swear in his heart. He dare not provoke Night White, after all, the mage can kill him easily.
At this time, it is evening. The sun falls in the distance, the afterglow to the earth, and it is particularly beautiful.
"Ding, ding, ding!” Several Bella fell in Night White’s bowl. Night White did not look up, and he just said: "Thank you."
Night White sat down in a place, put the bowl down and kept his head down, not speaking.
"Don't give these people money, Xiao Guo. They're just pretending to be disabled to get our sympathy." A woman's voice came.
Night White couldn't help but blush after hearing this. He didn't expect such people to exist in this world. How come he never thought of this method before of deceiving people to gain sympathy? He was like a fool, carrying a dagger to rob people on the street. If there is one slight mistake, he would be thrown into jail. It was really very dangerous.
"Okay, I won't give them any more money." Xiao Guo reluctantly agreed.
"That's right!" The woman continued to bargain with the vegetable vendor while saying to her daughter behind her.
"Okay." Xiao Guo obediently nodded.
"Are you really pretending to be disabled, big brother?" Xiao Guo , the naive girl, looked at Night White innocently.
Night White didn't answer, but instead he revealed his emptied sleeve and the disabled arm on his right side.
"If I were healthy, would I come begging?" Night White said with a bitter smile.
"Alright, since you gave money, you can ask me a question and I will answer it for you."
"I awakened the fire magic, but I can't release it. Can you help me, big brother?" Xiao Guo asked.
"Do as I say!"
"Okay!" Xiao Guo nodded.
"Concentrate, feel the flow of magic in your body, gather it in your palm, and then condense it into a tangible flame."
After that, the girl named Xiao Guo had a little flame in her hand, which was small and subtle, like a firefly.
"Mom, I can summon flames now!" Xiao Guo exclaimed excitedly.
The woman gave up bargaining with the vegetable vendor and rushed over to check the firefly-like flames in her daughter's hands. She was surprised and exclaimed,
"Xiao Guo, you can now use fire magic!"
"Thank God!" The woman clasped her hands together and murmured.
For an ordinary family, having a child who is a magician is a great glory, let alone a fire mage.
"It was taught by the big brother just now. Mom, you thought he was a fraudster just now." Xiao Guo said embarrassedly.
The woman looked at Night White, no longer despising him but instead filled with respect. "It's all thanks to the help of this mage, otherwise, Xiao Guo wouldn't know how much longer she would need to condense the flames. We are truly grateful."
Night White didn't bother with the woman, instead, he held out his bowl, indicating that he wanted money. The woman understood immediately and put a few Bella bills in the bowl, politely saying, "It's a little something as a token of our appreciation."
Then she happily led her daughter away.
Night White kicked a few Bella bills into his pocket, feeling emotional. "A princess can become a beggar. It seems that there is no one else like me in the world."
As it got dark, fewer and fewer people came and went on the market. Night White ran to the other side of Black Wind Mountain where the closing-down sales would make goods cheaper. He used all the money he had to buy some blood clan's food, enough for him to eat for at least half a month.
Night White walked towards White Stork with his luggage. It would take at least three to four months to reach there at the fastest speed.
As for the magic train, it was not within Night White's consideration range. The money he used to buy food would not even cover a quarter of the ticket price.
