“Watson, are you serious?”

Peter looked at Watson and saw the sincerity in his brother’s eyes. There was not the slightest hint of deception.

His lips moved. He raised his hand with difficulty and pushed the Phoenix egg in Watson’s hand away from him.

“Watson, I appreciate your kindness, but I can’t take that Phoenix egg. Our family must have spent a fortune to get it. I know that the food given to me was precious as well. You guys have taken excellent care of me; I cannot ask for more.”

Peter knew that his family was poor; they might not even get to eat a full meal in a week. His parents had endured hunger just to take care of him; they would always give him half of their food so that he could eat more to improve his health.

He knew that he had been eating better food; that meant his family must have been frugal.

“Fifth Brother, you have misunderstood. Our family’s condition is different now.” Watson scratched his head.

Peter said indifferently, “I know.”

He could feel the changes at home even if he did not leave his room. He heard many people outside and the guards as they trained daily. He even heard a mighty roar of a beast that morning. However, it had only been a few months; how much more did his home change?

They might be down, but perhaps not down and out.

“Fifth Brother, I don’t know how to explain it to you. Phoenix eggs are very precious, indeed.”

Of course, they were very precious. Peter looked as if he had expected that answer.

Watson did not notice Peter’s expression and continued to speak. “After all, I just fused Emperor Cluck into a hybrid Phoenix today. The hybrid Phoenix lays 100 eggs every day, and I have already distributed most of them. There are only about 20 eggs left! It’s not a lot, but don’t worry. Emperor Cluck can lay another 100 eggs tomorrow. When that time comes—”

“Wait a minute, what did you just say? How many Phoenix eggs do we have at home?”

Peter’s expression had been very calm, but the more he listened, the more surprised he became. He waved his hand and interrupted Watson’s words.

More than 20 Phoenix eggs?

He thought that it was terrific that they had one Phoenix Egg at home. After all, the Phoenix was a legendary divine beast. The value of a Phoenix egg was at least a thousand gold coins. How could he get more than 20 Phoenix eggs? Watson even said that he would be able to get another 100 tomorrow; perhaps he had caught a Phoenix.

Peter was dumbfounded.

He felt as if his situation at home was quite different from what he had expected.

“We only have about 20 Phoenix eggs at home. Fifth Brother, do you think it’s too little?” Watson asked innocently. A double-digit number was quite tiny, indeed. After all, the family had accumulated tens of thousands of Rainbow Phoenix Chicken eggs, and he had distributed them as Blackmoon Castle was due to face the Mage Guild.

After he solved that big problem, he was prepared to go to the Misty Forest to see if he could capture a flying-elemental magical beast to fuse it with Emperor Cluck to increase the number of eggs it could lay.

‘It was not that I thought it’s too little. On the contrary, I felt that it’s too much!’

Peter held his head. Watson thought that he was still worried, so he curled his fingers into his mouth and whistled. “Fifth Brother, I feel like you still have some concerns. I will summon Emperor Cluck so that you can take a look. That way, you should be able to rest assured.”

A whistle sounded.

A crisp chirp of a bird immediately came from outside the window. Then, a big red bird with magnificent feathers flew forward. Its expanded wings covered dozens of meters. It stopped outside the window, and its bright red eyes looked inside through the window.

“Is that the legendary Phoenix?”

Peter looked out of the window at the magical beast that looked the same as the one in the fairy tale; his mouth twitched as he fell into a daze.

Watson had a Phoenix at home? How did he do it? Why did they not tell him of such a significant change at home? He thought the food was better because his family wanted to take care of him, so he was frugal. It seemed like he had overestimated himself.

Peter felt as if he was out of touch with the world and had just been connected. He wondered if it were all a dream.

He pinched his thigh and frowned in pain.

It was painful; it was not a dream.

He stared blankly at the Phoenix outside the window. Peter turned his head and looked at Watson for two seconds. Then, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something. At that moment, a piercing dragon roar exploded; it shook the entire house.

Peter covered his ears as Watson stood up with a serious look on his face. He could hear the golden sound of the evolved Platinum Dragon King. The roar was filled with tension and hostility as if he had encountered a great enemy.

“Has the Mage Guild arrived? They reach here faster than I thought.”

Watson thought for a moment and said, “Fifth Brother, I’ll leave the Phoenix Egg here; you must eat it later.” After he said that, he turned around and left Peter’s bedroom quickly. He walked along the corridor to a sealed bedroom.

After he teleported into the bedroom, Watson picked up the spatial bag on the bed and slung it over his body. After a moment of hesitation, he retrieved a mask that was as thin as a Cicada’s wing from the bag and covered his face with it.

..

A huge hole had appeared in Blackmoon Town’s continuous wall.

“It’s the strongest obsidian gold among the silver-tier metals. The quality is not bad; even ordinary gold-tier elites can’t break it. Blackmoon Castle is richer than I imagined if they could collect so much obsidian gold to build the wall.”

The astrologer threw a thumb-sized piece of black gravel in his hand.

After the gravel flew outward, it was wrapped in layers of magical light. It continued to get bigger. Soon, it changed from the size of a thumb to a hundred-meter-wide meteorite. It was covered in blazing flames and crashed into the wall with destructive power; it left a big hole in the wall.

A rock giant was beneath the astrologer; it was dozens of meters tall, and it waved its rock-like arms as it drilled holes into the wall as if it were tofu.

The Mage Guild, led by Audrey, and the North Wind mercenary group stood behind the astrologer.

They maintained a great distance from the astrologer with a fearful expression on their faces.

“It is as we expected, Lord Astrologer. Even if we were to destroy that wall, we would need a certain amount of time. Who are those people from Blackmoon Castle?” The North Wind mercenary group leader, Ron, held a long knife with a silver snow wolf carved on the handle; he slashed it across the wall.

The snow-white combat aura was condensed into snowflakes and covered the ground with a layer of solid ice. With a flash of the blade, a scratch appeared on the wall.

That was a strike from a gold-tier elite, and it left a little mark on the wall.

Even though Ron did not use his full strength, the Ice Field Wolf combat aura he practiced was still a gold-tier technique. The condensed ice-elemental combat aura was a variant of the fire-elemental combat aura, and it was much stronger than the ordinary fire-elemental combat aura. Anything that was condensed by his ice-elemental combat aura would turn fragile.

Audrey stood nearby, but she did not express any opinion on his words. Her expression looked a little ugly. She had heard the astrologer say that Blackmoon Castle was rich and imposing. As a mage who had existed since the founding of the kingdom, the astrologer was a mage. It proved that Blackmoon Castle was extraordinary when he praised them for being rich and imposing.

She was still worried, but the arrow was already on the bow, so she had no choice but to shoot it.

Roar!

She heard the dragon’s roar from afar.

“It seems that Blackmoon Castle’s master has already discovered us. Let’s speed up, don’t let him wait for too long.”

The astrologer on the rock giant had a calm expression on his face, and his eyes seemed profound. He had already confirmed that the world-changing elite he sensed earlier was in Blackmoon Castle, and he was prepared to give the other party a gift upon their meeting.
