Chapter 35
1
In the Duke's mansion garden, there were blue leaves on trees that I couldn't identify. They were definitely not natural, maybe some kind of magically planted trees.
My mother bounced in front of me, followed by thirteen maids. Isn't thirteen a bit too many?
"Mom, when did we have thirteen maids in our house?"
Let me think, there used to be more butlers in the Duke's mansion, and very few maids. The reason was probably because my mother wanted to prevent my father from engaging in improper behavior, such as having an affair in the bathtub, having secret meetings in the garden, or kissing in the basement.
Hmm? The last example seems quite interesting.
"I raised them all myself!"
"But do we really need so many?" These maids all looked young. The oldest one should be the leader, the one wearing glasses. She should be around twenty.
"Just think about it. When you get married in the future, one daughter-in-law won't be enough for you... Do... you... understand!" My mother said to me very seriously.
"Is it really necessary?"
"It's necessary to take care of my grandson in the future."
"Well, what if I don't get married for a hundred years? By the time my father married my mother, I was already over a hundred years old." It's perfectly normal for a young person in the Divine Realm to be over a hundred years old, and although my mother was considered young by divine standards, she was not easily over a hundred years old by human standards. As for Guffy, he really hasn't reached a hundred years.
"Then they will continue to raise the next generation of maids, besides, Lan's abilities are quite good."
"Lan?"
"Lan, let your master see."
The leader maid stepped forward, took off her glasses, and her eyes suddenly became sharp. Blue leaves fell, and the maid Lan's body gradually turned into blue leaves from left to right. The leaves spun above her head and danced around me.
"Plant Harmony." It's a type of magic, synchronizing with plants and becoming a conscious plant-like being. Different from illusion magic, only the recipient can see it. She truly became the plant, and this type of mage usually has two factions: control after synchronization and coexistence after synchronization. The latter is referred to as "Flower Kings," and they have no combat power, but they are skilled gardeners.
Although becoming a Flower King is not a difficult profession, mages like them have extraordinary abilities and simply enjoy interacting with plants. The plants they cultivate are one hundred times more lush and beautiful than those of others. According to the laws of nature, they don't grow unnatural plants, such as the blue-leaved trees in front of us. Their creed is that animals and plants should coexist and thrive together.
Unfortunately, this maid named Lan is not a peace lover. These blue-leaved trees, used to please people, are her masterpiece.
"Flower Fairy, if you synchronize with flower petals, will you charm me?" I infused magic into the leaves swirling around my waist and wrists. As I tightly grasped them, Lan's synchronization became unstable and returned to her human form. Actually, I don't know what I've caught, it just feels soft.
"Wow, my son has good skills!" I looked at my mother who had her hands on her hips, and pride was evident in her eyes. However, when I turned my head and realized the problem, it dawned on me that if my father was standing here, his eyes would definitely not show pride.
Lan trembled violently, and I could feel that her cheeks were warmer than normal body temperature. The reason was simple: I had caught her chest, and it didn't have silicone pads!
"Smack!" I received a slap on my left cheek, and Lan covered her teary eyes and ran towards the garden.
"Oh my, my maid isn't trained yet."
"Um, this is a normal reaction, Mother doesn't need to worry!"
"Yeah, it's your fault. Others should go check on Lan." The maids behind nodded and hurriedly ran out.
"Father!"
"Grandfather!"
Yueqi and Coyalu suddenly stood behind my mother. As demons, they didn't like knocking before entering the room. It was indeed a bad habit.
"Aren't you the demon kings from that day?" My mother's eyes were not too bad. That day, it was said that Coyalu's snow lion left an ice bridge in the sky for three days without completely thawing, just to catch me as I ran.
"You little brat, call me great-grandmother!"
"Great... I won't call you that, little sister is better!" Yueqi rubbed my mother's head. The ten-year-old younger sister made me want to touch her.
"Mmm, I like the name. Wait, when did I become a great-grandmother? I don't even have grandchildren." My mother turned her head and looked at me. No matter how I looked at her face, it seemed so gloomy.
"Hello, grandmother, I am your grandson." Coyalu politely shook my mother's hand, respectfully bowing.
Since Coyalu became young again, he lived a completely different life from before. He liked using human relations and human etiquette. It seemed like he wanted to completely integrate into human society.
"He is my son in my previous life!" I grabbed Coyalu's neck and pulled him in front of my mother, using my finger to compare our faces and said, "Look, we don't look alike at all."
"Hehe, you were originally a dragon-human, can I be like you? Let me transform into a dragon to tell the difference."
"You're kidding, transform for me to see. At most, you only know how to be a dragon rider."
"Does Yueqi have a chance to transform into a dragon too?"
"Yeah, if Yueqi works hard, she can be faster than your father."
"Of course, he's so weak, right, Grandfather?"
"Yes, yes!"
"Ah..." Coyalu shook his head helplessly.
My mother was confused and didn't say anything.
"Mother, they're talking about the Demon Dragon. Your son is both the Holy Dragon and the Demon Dragon. Now... Now, who am I?" I've been thinking about this question the whole time. Even though I know, I still can't tell, because I can't find anyone to talk to in my heart.
"I heard Fengyu mention it, but... forget it, no matter what, you are my son!" My mother immediately became naive and cheerful. A child's mood changes quickly.
"Father, Nofice's matter is waiting for you to resolve. If it weren't for the rupture between The Divine Realm and Othrie and the fact that the other countries in The Human Realm are not yet allies, even if The Demon Realm gambles their entire race, it would be difficult to save Othrie. If it weren't for the inability to determine a winner between the gods and demons, The Human Realm wouldn't need to be involved."
"The Divine Realm has no reason to take Nofice away."
"Nofice is an escaped angel who must be brought back for retrial and punishment."
"Normally, Nofice wouldn't just stay there quietly."
Coyalu made a face of admiration and assistance. "The Red and White Staff locks Nofice's familiar contract. There's no way out."
"I have it, the Dragon Spirit Contract can take her away, but... The Divine Realm hasn't given an explanation. Hisa is easy to talk to, but I don't know about Allen."
Thinking about Alan's brief conversation, it is apparent that Alan and Hisa are quite different; Alan is very cunning.
