Chapter 388: Chapter 224 Dragon Seed Sorcery, Shishan Society_3
"So, Inferno is a power that belongs to the human camp, while Dragon Seed is a power of the monster camp. No wonder my Inferno attribute stopped growing after I joined the vow of the Chaos Origin Dragon."
[The maritime sorcerer urges you earnestly after explaining Dragon Seed, hoping that you, as the descendant of the dragon, will avoid putting yourself in danger in the future. If anything harmful happens, the little monsters, who have finally seen any hope, will fall back into despair...]
[You, however, change the subject and ask the maritime sorcerer what places in the city are ’worth a visit’.]
[It remains silent for a long time before stating that it needs to continue worshiping the Dragon God and asks you to get some early rest at the guesthouse...]
[You look towards the main entrance of the temple, sunlight at noon shining through the window onto the hall...]
[You wave goodbye to the maritime sorcerer and leave the temple.]
"If you don’t tell me, I can just ask Night Escort Hound to find out."
Night Escort Hound is in charge of daily purchases in the temple and often goes to the city for errands, so asking it may be more reliable than asking the maritime sorcerer.
[You return to the temple courtyard. Are you going to listen to the maritime sorcerer’s advice to rest in the guesthouse, or stroll around in the temple?]
[You step forward to see Master Bull Demon instructing the little monsters in their training. Upon seeing you, its expression turns serious and cautiously asks whether you want to learn some minor monster skills. Although the monster skills it knows are average, they are quite useful...]
[Saying that, Master Bull Demon scratches its horns and looks at a group of little monsters sweating profusely. Apparently, it feels that learning alongside these little monsters is not appropriate for someone of your noble stature.]
[It whispers that if you’re interested in learning, come to its hut at midnight, and it will teach you everything it knows, withholding nothing, not even the smallest detail.]
[You bid farewell to Master Bull Demon and continue to wander around. In no time, you see Night Escort Hound at the entrance of the temple.]
[It seems to be packing its gear, apparently getting ready to leave the temple.]
[Night Escort Hound again bows to you deeply, explaining that it had to rush back earlier and forgot to buy incense, so now it’s going to fetch it.]
[You ask Night Escort Hound about the places in the city that are ’worth visiting’.]
[Night Escort Hound’s fluffy ears twitch, and it pulls you into a deserted corner.]
[Its eyes sparkle as it tells you that you have asked the right person!]
[Apart from the ’Underground Dueling Arena’, which is very interesting, there’s also a place called ’Fairyland Pleasure Quarters’.]
[It’s rumored to be a celestial paradise on earth, living up to its name. If it weren’t for its Art of Transformation technique not yet being well-practiced, it would definitely go there and fight for the monsters!]
[With your aptitude for the Art of Transformation, going to the ’Fairyland Pleasure Quarters’ shouldn’t be a problem. It can give you the exact location...]
"..."
Lin Xun ineptly pulls a face. If Night Escort Hound could fully transform into a human, he would definitely give the ’Order Badge of Fairyland’ to the adorable creature, to widen its horizons.
[You state that you’ve already gotten a taste of the charm of ’Fairyland’, and ask if there are other interesting places in the city...]
[Night Escort Hound’s gaze changes from reverence to admiration as it listens to you. It scratches its ear and thinks for a long while, then shakes its head.]
[To its knowledge, there aren’t any other fun places in the city, but there’s a place outside the city.]
[It is a small, desolate temple on a less-traveled mountain, called Shishan Society.]
[Shishan Society is a shrine that worships a new god, generally avoided by common monsters. But, as a descendant of the dragon, your might is unparalleled. You could easily take down the Otani Family with your casual gestures, let alone a tiny Shishan Society...]
[Night Escort Hound offers enthusiastically to lead the way. However, you shake your head and ask it to tell you the exact location, stating that you would go there yourself.]
[Night Escort Hound’s ears droop instantly, and it reluctantly shares the direction of Shishan Society...]
[You have now learned the exact location of Shishan Society!]
[Do you wish to go to Shishan Society?]
[You and Night Escort Hound descend the mountain together. As it watches you bidding farewell with a pitiful look, you part ways...]
Lin Xun switches to Master Fan’s Shell and heads towards Shishan Society.
There are still occasional passersby on the road in broad daylight, and summoning the three-headed lion will draw too much attention.
Luckily, the samurai horse captured earlier is still hidden at the foot of the mountain. With Lin Xun controlling Master Fan, they ride the warhorse and begin their journey.
[...]
[You arrive at the location Night Escort Hound mentioned, in front of a small mountain.]
[You know Shishan Society is located on this mountain.]
[You follow the stone steps up the mountain, seeing some worshipers along the way.]
[However, most of these worshipers are young and beautiful women, which makes you a little confused.]
[Halfway up the mountain, a huge red ’torii’ stretches across both ends of the mountain road.]
[Stepping into the ’torii’ marks the entrance into the shrine’s influence. However, it wasn’t the torii that makes you stop.]
[Next to the torii is a stone lantern. Around it, seven or eight young women are whispering.]
[You stride over to see a notice clearly written on the stone lantern in black ink on white paper - Recruiting priestesses!]
Lin Xun squints. He has a Shell of a witch (wanderer) who was eliminated earlier. It might prove useful here.
