“Three of a kind! Hahaha, I’m done! I won again!!! Roar yeah!!!”
“What, what! It’s actually two pairs together. If I knew, I would’ve bombed...”
“Uh... Miss Sigrid, um, it seems you don’t have a bomb in your hand. These are three 4s, not four 3s...”
Sure enough, not long after Violet picked up her novel again, the voices of several girls chattering came from nearby.
Listening to the intellectually questionable and full of flaws noise, the priestess couldn’t help but facepalm. Indeed, fools easily gather with fools.
No, should it be said that there are certain inherent shortcomings in some aspects?

Glancing at Sigrid, who was vehemently arguing with her two white-winged teammates about the “correct playing strategy,” Violet, the black-haired girl, couldn’t help but smile slightly.
Like most winged people, this girl isn’t a bad person, and one might even say she’s lovably foolish, completely incomparable to the socially adept and cunning Hilda Kulk.
It is said that due to her outstanding talent, she has been raised by the Feathered Emperor since childhood, rarely returning to the winged people’s settlement. She only recently got acquainted with Leila and Rene.
Regarding the matter of the sisters, Violet had already explained it to Sigrid, who is also one of the “Feathered Emperor’s Four Wings.” However, to avoid trouble, she didn’t mention things like resurrection magic, only saying that she accidentally saved them from being kidnapped.
As Violet had planned earlier, since there are no outsiders here, and it’s already the territory of the winged people, after boarding the Leviathan’s offspring, Leila and Rene, under Violet’s guidance, no longer concealed their white feathers.
Even if the members of the diplomatic mission see them, it doesn’t matter. Violet never intended for them to hide their identities and live in obscurity forever. Racial discrimination itself is a foolish behavior.
Certainly, after the purification of their bloodline reversion, the second pair of wings that grew on their ears were quite conspicuous. After some consideration, Violet decided to have the sisters temporarily conceal them to avoid unnecessary trouble.
After a brief commotion, the four girls quickly resumed their seats. After redistributing the “stakes,” the victorious little dragon volunteered to shuffle the cards effortlessly, preparing for the next round.
Following the pattern of the past two days, they would continue this noisy card game until the sun was high in the sky. After having lunch, Sigrid would leave the room to begin her daily routine of patrol and inspection, both inside and outside the entire Leviathan’s offspring, similar to the maintenance of a spacecraft.
To be honest, it was somewhat akin to checking a spaceship.
However, today seemed to have an unexpected turn of events.
Just as they were about to start another round of card-playing, a white-winged girl, seemingly a member of the team that Sigrid led to chase the abyssal creature, hurriedly pushed open the door and whispered something into Captain Sigrid’s ear.
Sigrid’s expression changed instantly, and the playful atmosphere dissipated rapidly, replaced by seriousness and gravity.
“Can you confirm the numbers?”
The scout dared not approach too closely, but it’s feared that there are at least a hundred of them. Captain, take a look at our current situation...
The white-feathered girl put down the cards in her hand and stood up without hesitation.
“No need to say more. The Abyssal Beast has appeared within the national borders, this is a very serious matter! Contact the capital immediately, inform them of this and request support. Let’s go to the main cabin!”
“What’s happening?”
“Wow!”
As Sigrid turned around, she was startled to find the delicate face of the black-haired girl who had been lying on the soft chair earlier, now magnified in front of her. She was so shocked that she almost pulled out her weapon.
“Violet?! Are you trying to scare me? Seriously, don’t just pop up like that...”
Patting her chest, the girl breathed heavily as if recovering from a fright.
She seemed carefree but surprisingly timid... No, perhaps she just had a weak resistance to being startled?
Seemingly cute?
Violet smiled with an entirely insincere attitude.
“Haha, sorry sorry. Actually, I walked over here quite normally step by step. You were just too focused on your thoughts.”
“Nonsense, I clearly didn’t hear any footsteps... Well, never mind. Excuse me, I have some urgent matters to attend to. The rest of you can stay in the room. Don’t worry, it’s very safe here. If I... No, never mind, excuse me for now!”
With that, Sigrid hastily left the room with the white-feathered girl who had delivered the message, following the passages built within the Leviathan’s offspring.
From what they mentioned earlier, their destination should be the main cabin, where they can directly communicate with this colossal creature, adjust the course, and discuss important matters.
“Master, what’s happening with her...?”
The little dragon maid by the side of Miss Priestess tilted her head. From the moment they boarded the Leviathan’s offspring until now, it was the first time they had seen Sigrid in such a hurried and serious state.
Although they didn’t intentionally eavesdrop, Violet’s powerful senses still caught most of the previous conversation.
“It seems like something’s going on. Are you all going together?”
Although Sigrid told them to stay, Violet was sure to go wherever there was excitement. Xiao Guang, as her pet, naturally followed suit. However, it was still better to ask the personal preferences of her companions.
Leila and Rene glanced at each other. As sisters who had walked hand in hand to this day, their understanding was not inferior to that between Violet and the little dragon. They immediately reached a consensus.
“My sister and I also want to go and see. After all, this is something happening in our country, and as members of the White Feather, we should contribute our strength.”
Edwina also immediately expressed her willingness with a smile.
“If possible, I would love to follow Miss Violet too...”
“Alright, let’s go together then.”
After a brief exchange of opinions, the group of five left the cabin and headed straight for the main cabin. For them, who had already spent nearly a week inside this living ship, the route was not a difficult problem.
The interior passages of the Leviathan’s offspring were not narrow. On the contrary, they were spacious and bright. Magic lamps fixed on both sides continued to illuminate the area day and night, providing light to this region where sunlight couldn’t penetrate. Along the way, there were even many elite human soldiers belonging to the mission guarding, and, of course, a considerable number of accompanying winged guards, mostly part of the protective force tied to this giant beast, many of them being Red Feather Winged Ones.
But this area belongs to the mission’s residential zone, and to ensure privacy, Sigrid did not station too many subordinates nearby.
After leaving the residential area, the winged beings coming and going around noticeably increased. They all seemed to be in a hurry.
Violet and her companions, as honored guests, had spent enough time with the captain of the guard, Sigrid, and had become familiar faces. Moreover, since they were just moving along the corridor without showing any intention to enter a specific internal area, the guards along the way did not step forward to stop them.
Soon, the former South Calamity Extermination Team arrived at the entrance of the main cabin.
Winged beings did not favor the style of constructing large stone or steel fortifications like humans. Many important areas, like the “city walls” in Spryce City, were directly built using magical means—convenient and more secure.
Just like the main cabin door, it was an invisible white light screen that prevented the view of the interior. Two White Feather girls in armor stood solemnly outside the light screen, holding long spears as they guarded the entrance.
