Before Renee's grandfather replied, Alan received an unexpected letter asking for help.
The seven swan sisters are in big trouble!
Just last night, the dungeon wizard Akuma led the orc bandits into the Swan Cave and captured four swan girls.
The three swan girls who managed to escape, the eldest sister, the fourth sister and the sixth sister, are being hunted down by Akuma's men!
The three girls were left with nowhere else to go, so they had no choice but to give it a try and send letters to Allen, Baker and Hogg for help.
They hoped that they would protect the three sisters because of their brief relationship.
Baker and Hogg have left Silvermoon Island to carry out their master's mission.
The person is out of town, too far away to receive the telepathic technique.
Only Alan received the letter for help from the eldest swan daughter in time.
Alan knew it clearly.
With only himself and the three sisters in distress, he could never afford to offend the dungeon lord Akuma!
Finding a safe place and hiding the three sisters would be the most we can do.
Expecting him to rescue the other captured swan girls was beyond his ability.
Just as I was thinking about how to reply, I heard a woman's sweet voice coming from the guest room next door.
Master Shiva woke up from a hangover, had a headache, and was whining and acting coquettishly to the babysitter Renee.
In order to take care of the drunk cat more conveniently, Renee slept on the floor in her room last night.
At this moment, he was applying a hot towel to her face and gently advising her that excessive drinking was harmful to her health and she should be more moderate in the future.
Not far away, in another guest room lives the Lion Sister Maria.
Alan's two brothers-in-law, Adam and George, also lived in nearby courtyards.
Xinkunte Town is surrounded by mountains and the sea, with beautiful scenery.
The distinguished guest from the monastery accepted Allen's invitation and planned to stay in the town for a few days for vacation.
Thinking that his master and his fellow brothers and sisters were all at home, Allen's mentality changed subtly.
He and the dungeon lord Akuma have long been enemies.
Akuma kidnapped the seven swan sisters today, and who knows if they will come to pick a fight with him tomorrow.
Alan has a family and a business, and the monk can run away but the temple cannot.
Sooner or later, a conflict will break out with Akuma's gang, and it will be a fight to the death!
Instead of waiting for disaster to strike, why not take preemptive action and nip potential threats in the bud!
Eren couldn't afford to mess with Akuma on his own.
But now his family is full of talented people!
The three chief disciples of Silver Moon Monastery, Adam, George, and Maria, all have reached the early fourth stage of cultivation.
There is also a heavyweight White Tiger Martial Lord in charge!
If we don’t take advantage of this God-given opportunity, wouldn’t it be a waste?
Just ask Master Shiva to come out as a thug, the tsundere loli Wu Zun might not be happy about it.
The Swan Girl's letter for help just gave Allen an opportunity, an excuse to stand up for the weak.
Master Shiva, are you willing to take care of this matter?
Alan was unsure.
Instead of explaining the situation directly to Baihu Wuzun, it is better to go find Leni first.
Even if there are no good people in the world, Renee is definitely the least bad one.
She was the only one who was willing to help suffering strangers at all costs.
It was easy to convince Renee to stand up for the injustice.
It would be more reliable to let Renee ask Master Shiva for help than for Alan to beg for it himself.
Master Shiva is a martial arts fanatic. From childhood to adulthood, his mind is always thinking about cultivation and he has poor self-care ability.
I can’t cook or do laundry, and I often make a mess of the house.
It was not until Renee came to her and took care of her as a disciple and nanny that her life became orderly.
Correspondingly, Master Shiva's dependence on Renee became deeper and deeper.
Judging from the details of her interactions with Renee over the past few days, it is not an exaggeration to say that Renee is her "real mother".
Master Shiva could ignore anyone's advice, but she could not remain indifferent to Renee's plea.
…
As Alan expected, Renee sympathized with the plight of the seven swan sisters.
He took the initiative to take him to seek help from Master Shiva.
Alan recounted in detail the whole story of the Swan Girl's request for help.
He also honestly told everyone about his interactions with the seven swan sisters.
He didn't dare hide it.
Master Shiva is better at telepathy than Elder Tanuki.
Can the fourth-level soul-calming meditation method prevent a fifth-level expert from reading people's minds?
Alan wasn't so sure.
I'd rather tell the truth.
"You're alone with seven female fairies...taking turns doing that?" Renee's face was full of surprise, and her focus was completely off the track. "Brother Allen, indulgence is harmful to your health. Can you handle it?"
Alan gave her a helpless look and signaled her to shut up!
Master Shiva thought for a moment, yawned, and said casually:
"You can handle the matter of the female demon yourself. If you can't handle it anymore, it won't be too late to come to me."
"I feel relieved with your words, teacher!" Alan felt relieved.
Renee put the sleepy Master Shiva in the crib, covered him with a quilt, gently rocked the crib and sang a lullaby.
Soon, the little girl fell into a sound sleep.
The cute little face is rosy and she looks peaceful when sleeping.
Seeing that the teacher was fast asleep, Alan got up and left the boudoir.
Leni saw him out, pulling his sleeve, still worrying about trivial matters.
"Junior brother, you did that with seven female demons, and you didn't get drained? I don't believe it! I'm afraid you are just bragging!"
"Yes, yes, yes! I'm bragging!"
Alan was too lazy to explain and simply obeyed her.
"In fact, I have been squeezed into dregs by the female demon. My masculinity is gone. I only brag in front of my master for the sake of face."
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Leni rolled her eyes at him. "When I was warming your bed last night, you were standing up straight! Like a big eggplant!"
"I didn't, I wasn't... Don't sully my innocence!"
"You have it! You are! A bad guy, and you are still not honest!"
"...What do you want?" Alan was amused by her.
"I'm just curious. I want to know how you conquered seven female fairies. This is incredible! No normal person can do it!"
Renee probed seriously.
Allen felt that if she applied this spirit of research to spiritual practice, she would definitely achieve great results.
"It's hard to explain this kind of thing. You won't know until you try it."
"Yeah! I thought so too!"
Renee suddenly blushed and whispered in his ear.
"After I coax Master to sleep tonight, I will go to your room and fulfill my duties as a servant, and test whether I am bragging or not."
"What the hell can you measure by yourself?!"
Alan said unhappily.
"After a while, you were satisfied and fell asleep like a pig, leaving me alone, neither up nor down. It was so uncomfortable."
"The day before yesterday was an accident! It was my first time, I was afraid of pain, I had no experience, and I didn't perform well... Now I'm a mature young woman! Humph! Tonight I want to avenge my previous shame!"
Renee looked unconvinced.
Alan scoffed, not bothering to argue.
Renee is a weakling in combat, even worse than the Swan Girl, and she poses no pressure to him at all.
It's time to teach this ignorant Hu Niu a lesson.
Wait a moment……
Alan suddenly thought of a question.
Renee was so poor that she had nothing but her underpants...
Wouldn't I be taken advantage of for free again?
Alan secretly regretted that he shouldn't have acted on impulse and argued with the silly girl.
She lowered my IQ to the same level and beat me with her rich experience!
…
Back in the study, Alan wrote back to Swan's eldest sister, asking them to meet at the Waterwheel Mill on the south shore of Saddle Lake.
Near the mill, there was a camp where the town militia was stationed.
Alan rode a griffin to the camp and asked the militia.
Sure enough, just after daybreak, orcs were spotted moving around the lake.
With two militiamen, Alan came to the door of the mill, waiting for the swan girl to meet him.
Soon, three white swans flew in from the sky, landed in the mill yard, and turned into three haggard girls.
When the fourth and sixth swan sisters saw Alan, they ran over excitedly and threw themselves into his arms.
The eldest sister stood there, looking around vigilantly.
After confirming that there were no orcs hiding in the dark and setting an ambush, his expression eased a little.
The eldest sister is like a mother, and in order to take care of her younger sisters, she has to consider more.
Who can guarantee that Alan won't betray them?
Offer the three sisters to Akuma to please the dungeon lord and eliminate the previous grudge?
Alan saw what his eldest sister was thinking, but he didn't mind.
Dealing with a smart woman will make things easier for both of you.
"It's safe here, come inside and talk with me."
Alan led the frightened swan sisters into the mill hut.
Open the storage bag and take out dry food and water for them.
The three sisters fled for a day and a night without a drop of water and were hungry and tired.
The fourth and sixth sisters didn't even bother to say thank you, they just took the food and gobbled it up.
The eldest sister thanked him softly, sat opposite Alan, and ate in an elegant manner.
Alan smiled and whispered to the eldest swan sister:
"Sister, I have no ill intentions, but I have a question that may offend you. I don't know if I should ask it."
"We have fallen to this point, there is nothing to be shy about. If you want to know anything, just ask." The eldest swan daughter smiled bitterly.
"Have you sisters ever considered relying on the dungeon lord and obtaining his protection?"
This world is too cruel and there is no place for the weak.
When you are at your wit's end, you have to choose between dying standing up or kneeling down and being a dog.
Alan couldn't guarantee that he had the courage to be a martyr.
So he was very curious, why didn't the seven swan sisters kneel?
"We, the fairy clan, love freedom by nature. We would rather die than be imprisoned in the harem and used as playthings!" said the eldest swan sister seriously.
Alan nodded and made no comment.
The eldest swan daughter could see that he seemed to feel that his words were not sincere enough, so she smiled helplessly.
“You humans also have individuals who love freedom more than life, but this concept cannot be elevated to a racial commonality.”
"We fairies are different. Our blood contains the essence of freedom and even chaos, just like a lion is born to eat meat."
"I'm not bragging about how noble the fairies are. I'm just stating a fact."
"The fanatical pursuit of freedom is not necessarily a good thing. It will make us particularly willful and self-conscious, making it difficult for us to unite and cooperate like human society and promote laws and regulations that promote long-term peace and stability."
"In the eyes of us fairies, it is truly an incredible miracle that humans can maintain a family or even a country that lasts longer than their own lives!"
"On the other hand, you humans don't understand that fairies losing their freedom are like fish out of water, they cannot survive."
"Besides, my sisters and I were born and raised on the surface, and we are already accustomed to the alternation of day and night."
"Submitting to Akuma's tyranny means that we will have to live in the dark underworld for the rest of our lives, like moldy mushrooms."
"That kind of life goes against our nature and we can't stand it for even a day!"
Alan was deeply moved by the sincere confession of the eldest swan daughter.
"I'm sorry, big sister. Please forgive my superficiality. I shouldn't look down on you sisters. How is Swan Cave now?"
"Swan Cave has been occupied by the orcs and flying dragons under Akuma."
The eldest swan daughter pondered for a moment, and finally made up her mind to no longer have any reservations about Allen.
"In fact, there is something we have been hiding from you... Swan Cave hides a vein of water magic stone!"
"If you can rescue my four sisters and help us take back the Swan Cave and the Water Magic Stone Mine, how about I give you half?"
"Deal!" Alan stretched out his hand without hesitation.
The eldest swan daughter high-fived him with a heavy heart.
She knew that Alan came from the Silver Moon Monastery and had the Water Demon Stone mine, so she should be able to impress the power behind him and help the sisters regain their home.
As for what will happen after that, will Alan turn against us, tear up the agreement, and attempt to occupy the entire water magic stone vein?
Such risks do exist.
However, in order to rescue her four sisters who were kidnapped by Akuma, she had no choice but to gamble on Alan's conscience.
…
There was a sudden noise outside the courtyard gate.
A militiaman hurried over and whispered in Alan's ear.
Alan nodded and signaled the militia to retreat.
"Big sister, fourth sister, sixth sister, I'm going to be out for a while and will be back soon."
The three sisters watched him walk out of the mill gate.
They exchanged glances, lay at the doorway, and peeked out through the crack.
Four orcs, each riding a flying dragon, landed outside the courtyard gate.
He was brandishing spears, intimidating the militia, and trying to break into the mill to search it.
When the three swan sisters saw this scene, their hearts rose to their throats.
If Alan can't stand the pressure, let the orcs and dragons in...
They dare not imagine the consequences!
At this time, Alan had already walked to the gate of the courtyard.
Talking to himself, as if chanting a spell under his breath.
Suddenly he raised his hand and released a large cloud of light yellow mist.
The four orcs, along with the flying dragon behind them, were instantly enveloped by the cloud.
A faint scent of nectar wafts in the wind.
The fourth swan sister is closest to the crack in the door.
I accidentally smelled the aroma of nectar and couldn't help but feel dazed.
" Fourth sister! What's wrong with you?"
The sixth sister was very worried when she saw her sister slumped on the ground with her eyes wide open and a silly smile on her face, as if she was drunk.
“Shh—”
The eldest swan sister quickly covered the sixth sister's mouth and whispered:
"The fourth sister seems to have been poisoned by some kind of intoxicating toxin, but it's not fatal."
As she expected, the four swan girls were confused for a while and then woke up on their own.
"It's okay, come out." Alan's voice came from outside the door.
The three sisters pushed the door open and saw four orcs and their dragon mounts, all collapsed on the ground with dazed faces.
The 3rd level "Poison Cloud" + the 6th level Queen's Nectar can easily paralyze these uninvited guests.
The orcs were poisoned by the soul-loving poison and their wills became very weak.
The eldest swan sister took the opportunity to use the third-level "suggestion" to ask the orcs for information.
The orcs only knew that Akuma had captured four beautiful fairy women and personally escorted them back to the dungeon, but they didn't know where they were being held.
"I tried to use the 'communication technique' to contact my kidnapped sisters, but unfortunately the distance was too far to communicate. The only way to contact them was to sneak into the Underdark."
"The problem is how to pass through the navel guarded by the orcs and enter the Underdark..."
The eldest swan girl's gaze fell on the four orcs.
"Perhaps, we can make use of these four orcs."
Alan injected digestive fluid into the orcs to destroy their bodies.
The three swan sisters cast a spell to transform into orcs.
Alan also used "disguise" to disguise himself as the orc captain.
There are also four flying dragons, which serve as a means of transportation and cannot be killed.
Creatures like wyverns are just the right amount of stupid.
With their intelligence, they cannot tell that their owners have been replaced.
However, it's not so stupid that we can't communicate at all.
The eldest swan daughter used the "suggestion technique" to successfully charm the four flying dragons, making them obey her orders obediently.
Alan and the three swan girls returned to the team riding on flying dragons.
After two days and one night of hard work, the orcs were exhausted, but ultimately they still failed to find the three escaped swan girls.
He had no choice but to return to the Undergate Fort and report to the orc chieftain Akira.
Akira also had a headache.
The boss was obsessed with beauty and wanted to gather all seven swan sisters, which posed a difficult problem to him.
Women are nothing more than playthings.
What's the point of getting all seven sisters together?
I can’t summon a dragon…
Akira couldn't understand his boss's collecting habit.
We searched the entire south shore of Saddleback Lake, but couldn't find the three escaped swan girls. Where else could they have hidden?
Akira knew that they had probably gone to the town of New Quint.
As early as a year ago, he wanted to conquer this immigrant town, but he hit a wall and suffered heavy casualties. He has not recovered to this day.
Today, the population of New Quint Town has exceeded 5,000. As the population grows, the defense capability has also been greatly enhanced.
Akira also heard that a new martial arts school had opened in town and was recruiting disciples.
The disciples of the martial arts school are all considered non-staff members of the Silver Moon Monastery.
Akira knows he can't afford to offend such a strong backer!
How dare they send people to the town to hunt down the three Swan sisters?
As the matter was not settled, Akira did not dare to go to see his boss, so he asked an orc leader to lead a team to the dungeon and report the results of the investigation to Akuma on his behalf.
In the evening, a group of orcs came to the backyard of the Undergate Castle and walked into a tunnel.
This tunnel that extends downward at an angle is the "navel of the earth".
At the end of the navel is the dark area deep in the earth.
Alan and the three Swan sisters disguised themselves as orc patrolmen and followed the captain to the dungeon to meet Akuma.
In the empty underground vault, knocking sounds were heard from afar.
Alan and the three Swan sisters all have dark vision. They looked in the direction of the knocking sound and saw an "open-air" mining site in the distance.
A group of naked goblins and dwarves are mining ore with crude tools.
The orc overseer walked around with a whip.
Anyone who seems to be lazy will be whipped immediately!
When passing by the mine, Alan and the eldest swan daughter exchanged glances secretly.
There was surprise in both of their eyes.
Hidden in the underground world is a massive magic stone mine!
Akuma monopolized this source of wealth, so it's no wonder he built up such a huge force.
…
Akuma's underground city is located just north of the mine.
A castle that would be considered magnificent even on the surface world is located on the banks of a gurgling underground river.
There is a circle of barracks outside the castle.
In addition to orcs, ogres and hobgoblins, trolls can occasionally be seen.
This skinny, green-skinned giant is a foot taller than an ogre.
He walked with his back hunched and his long arms hanging below his knees.
Two noses, three eyes, and a mouth on the cheeks... Such deformities are not uncommon for trolls.
Along the way, Alan saw a total of six trolls, and the number of fingers they had was different!
Compared with these deformed monsters, the ogres look handsome.
The troll tribe possesses a terrifying "regeneration" physique!
It is said that if you cut off your head, a new one will grow.
Physical disabilities are even less of a problem.
When a troll's finger was cut off, he picked up the severed finger and pressed it on the wound, and it healed quickly.
If the speed of reattaching the severed finger is a little slower, a new finger will grow on the broken surface.
The broken fingers and the newly grown fingers are squeezed together, like the growth of wisdom teeth.
This is why many trolls have deformed organs.
Since their limbs can regenerate infinitely, trolls are not afraid of pain at all.
Some perverted trolls even regard self-harm as a form of entertainment.
…
Alan and his party arrived outside the castle gate.
The orc captain went to see Akuma on his own.
Alan and his gang were waiting at the door.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the three swan sisters used charm magic to extract information from the guards.
After some inquiries, they learned that the four swan girls were under house arrest in Akuma's palace and their lives were temporarily safe.
There is a barrier around Akuma's bedroom, and the alarm will be triggered if anyone other than himself approaches.
Disguise and even invisibility spells will be revealed by the barrier.
Akuma and the team of troll guards around him all have a special physique that allows infinite regeneration.
Conventional means cannot completely kill them.
Considering that the palace was heavily guarded and had a protective barrier, Alan and his party did not dare to sneak in rashly.
How to rescue the four swan girls who are under house arrest still requires long-term planning.
…
The orc captain returned with his report, looking dejected, obviously having been scolded by Akuma.
After running around all day, everyone is tired and will rest in the dungeon tonight.
Alan took the three swan girls and found a remote empty barracks to live in.
The swan girls loved cleanliness and couldn't stand the dirtiness of the orc barracks, so they started cleaning diligently.
Alan was standing guard at the door, while also thinking about what to do next.
In addition to rescuing the swan girl, he has longer-term plans.
This underground city is perfect as his secret base.
The magic stone veins can help him expand his power, establish a warlock family, and provide a stable source of financial resources and training resources.
In order to achieve this goal, the ogre wizard Akuma must be killed!
Akuma and his troll guards are not to be trifled with.
Alan opened his storage bag and took out a magic scroll.
Before coming, Master Shiva specially gave him three "Wind Communication" scrolls for emergency contact.
When the "Wind Communication Technique" is combined with the secret mark, the communication distance is equivalent to a hundred times that of the "Teleportation Technique".
Alan unfolded the scroll and chanted the spell in a low voice.
The magic power turned into a small whirlwind and appeared in front of him.
Allen whispered to Whirlwind and briefly described the situation in the dungeon.
By the way, I asked Master Shiva how to crack the "regeneration" physique.
Not long after, I received a reply from Master Shiva.
The letter provides three methods to crack regeneration.
First, the damage caused by fire and strong acid can temporarily prevent wound regeneration.
This method should work against trolls.
But it may not work on Akuma!
Akuma has a magic ring that can resist high temperatures, and is also good at magic that can protect against acid.
The above methods were used when fighting against Chimera at the top of Shark Fin Peak.
The second way to crack "regeneration" is suffocation and starvation.
Creatures with regenerative abilities, such as trolls, are still flesh and blood and need to breathe and eat to maintain healthy physiological functions.
Prolonged suffocation or fasting will cause the loss of regenerative function.
The last method is to change your physique and solve the problem of regeneration.
Master Shiva gave two examples in his letter.
There is a 5th level magic called "Maleficent Polymorph".
If inflicted on someone, it can permanently transform them into a fragile small animal such as a chicken, toad, or mouse.
Using this method, the troll is transformed into a chicken, losing all of its previous special abilities, including regeneration.
Another similar method is petrification.
Petrification magic, petrifying poison, and the Gorgon's gaze can all permanently turn living things to stone.
The body of flesh and blood turns into cold fossils, and the regenerative physique no longer exists.
"Malicious Transfiguration" is too far away from Allen and there is nothing he can think about.
Petrification... gave him an idea!
