Chapter 173: Chapter 140: Everyone’s Little Wishes_3
Mosquito said.
"What a pity." Long Yi shook his head. It was a great shame for a warrior not to die on a real battlefield.
"Let’s get back to the topic of the upper plane. Brother Long, we know Bajie is a Demon Abyss Dragon, originating from the upper plane, born stronger than dragons in the Human Realm. Its strength might assist you, but as your friends, we need to remind you, no matter how powerful you become, going to the upper plane is no small matter. Before you become the peak of this world, it’s best not to even think about it. That place is not a paradise, it’s a dangerous land full of death!"
Wesley spoke with rare seriousness.
Actually, Long Yi was aware of everything Wesley said. As a warrior, he would of course not recklessly pursue the upper plane. But he was still touched, because they genuinely care for him.
"Don’t worry, guys, while I might have a lot of muscles, my head is also a bit bigger than yours. I know what you mean, no need to get worked up, it’s all hypothetical for now."
"During the era when the study of plane magic was at its peak, there were incidents of plane mages entering the upper planes. When they returned, they either went mad because they couldn’t digest the knowledge they had acquired, or they were incinerated by the high energy density of the upper plane, ending up as charred remains after the spell concluded. Then those mages tried to summon powerful creatures from the upper plane, leading to various tragedies. These beings rarely harbored goodwill towards humans, and humans had nothing they wanted. Humans’ unwarranted peeking and summoning might even provoke them. The Demon Abyss Dragon incident in the Black Dragon Empire is a clear example."
While Wesley was talking, he glanced at Bajie.
"Roar--" Bajie roared smugly, implying that it was the masterpiece of its mother. Wesley obviously didn’t understand. While the event in the Black Dragon Empire was entertaining for onlookers, no one would want it to happen to them.
Long Yi patted Wesley on the shoulder, laughing: "Don’t worry, that won’t happen. I’m not one of those madmen. When I say stepping into the upper plane is my dream, it means it’s a very distant goal. I still have a lot of things to settle, like preparing to advance to the fourth year. Ai Lin has been tutoring me in Dragon Language class. Learning Dragon Language has become even more difficult, I wonder who invented those bizarre diphthongs!". Long Yi comforted Wesley while complaining about the difficulty of learning Dragon Language.
"Haha, I heard that the fourth year is waiting for you! The Four Heavenly Kings of the fourth year have announced that they are joining forces to kick you out."
"The Four Heavenly Kings? Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Donnie Yen, Shi Xiaolong?" Long Yi said four completely incomprehensible names, all of which were action movie stars.
"No, they are the Jin brothers, rare quadruplets, who are said to have a psychic connection from birth. They eat and sleep at the same time. Their individual strengths are decent, but they are perfect when combined. In terms of individual rankings, their strength is only above average in the fourth year. But when they join forces, even the top ten in the fourth year combined are no match for them."
Wesley said.
"It’s a pity that they are all ugly as sin, far from as handsome as we are." The cook chuckled, Mosquito didn’t say anything, but slightly nodded, obviously agreeing with his brother’s opinion.
"Let them come, then. I want to see whether their heads are harder, or my fists." Long Yi smiled broadly.
Days passed in training and study, and Long Yi noticed some progress in his Dragon Language. It seemed like he had found his groove, and his grasp of complex Dragon Language vocabulary was faster than before.
Ever since Yavenny erased the Dragon Language engraved in his brain, Long Yi thought he was doomed to be stuck in the quagmire of learning Dragon Language for the rest of his life. But he didn’t expect that he would get the knack at this time! It seems getting a promotion to the fourth year isn’t going to be that difficult this time!
However, at this moment, news came from the Imperial City. After the New Year, eight influential families banded together, accusing Joseph of the Hagrid family of seducing innocent girls through dishonourable means.
After difficulties in providing evidence and court brawls, the trial was at a standstill as neither side could produce any more evidence. The longer they dragged on, the more advantageous it was for the Hagrid family. The other families aimed to overthrow the Hagrid family through this lawsuit and eat into their nearly half share of the Imperial Army’s supply business.
Then, they approached Long Yi. He had previously rescued a girl from Joseph during a mission. That girl had become the fuse for everything, and Long Yi was the one who unveiled all this.
At first, the plaintiffs thought that the Hagrid family would surrender immediately when faced with irrefutable evidence, but they didn’t expect the Hagrid family to be more difficult than they thought. They seemed to be prepared, offering a load of evidence. The most significant piece of evidence came from the Imperial Magic Research Institute, enough to prove that the psychic spell Joseph used did not force people to fall in love with him.
The authority of the Imperial Magic Research Institute was unquestionable, and the judges considered the evidence reliable. The plaintiffs had no way of refuting it and could only pin their hope on Long Yi. At the time, Little Zi had said that Joseph was using a compound spell to make the girl fall in love with him voluntarily.
Therefore, the plaintiffs sent a representative to find Long Yi, hoping he could appear as a witness in the trial.
The person who came to see Long Yi was the bearded boss from the station. The bearded man was now wearing a set of military uniform and was a captain. He had witnessed the whole process and had been the plaintiffs’ witness throughout the trial. (To be continued.
