Demi-human Girls Completion Manual-Chapter 949 - 42: A Happy Ending for All

"Ice Owl Species, I didn’t expect there to be such a demi-human species?"

"Indeed, that’s the case."

...

"Slime? Are you saying, like Water Spirits, a semi-transparent, sticky blob that possesses intelligence. Oh, my... Mr. Fisher, have you ever tried touching them? Or have you entered inside them? How does it feel?"

"...No."

...

Within the great hall, Count Hyou, with a manner as if meeting an old friend, managed to dissolve the previously somewhat tense atmosphere, of course, at the cost of sacrificing Fisher. He found it somewhat difficult to converse with this Count Hyou, as he could clearly feel that this unusual Elf Species before him had an even greater interest in demi-human species than he did. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Moreover, just as Qiong mentioned earlier, extremely lecherous, which made it hard for Fisher to keep up with his words at times, of course, Hyou was not disappointed.

He seemed to regard Fisher as a like-minded enthusiast. Fisher didn’t have such an extreme obsession with the demi-human species, which Hyou thought needed improvement, and he would discuss insights with Fisher while drinking.

Overall, the atmosphere was quite good, everyone was in a win-win situation.

Qiong and Uncle Chun didn’t have to choose between the difficult decisions of Lu Ming of the Deer Race and Land Seizure; Hyou was also very satisfied, as he gained a confidant in Fisher, drank quite a bit during conversations but wasn’t enough, and his Mythical Species aura gradually became more approachable; Fisher might have been pleased as well, as he gained a lot of information about the three newly bound demi-human species from Hyou without much effort.

Fisher intentionally steered the topic toward the previous demi-human species, with Qiong, Uncle Chun, and Hooked kiss contributing quite a bit, allowing Fisher to benefit greatly.

He seemed to have discovered a way to obtain knowledge about demi-human species without needing to conduct research personally, like a textile worker who eventually opened a textile factory, leaving manual labor behind to sit and earn money... of course, this is just a comparison for this situation, and Fisher wasn’t going to do this often, as opportunities like this to act on the spot aren’t frequent, and he might still need to do things himself.

"Is Mr. Fisher going to the Royal Capital under the tree to celebrate the King’s birthday with this Angel?"

Following general communication patterns, topics always progress in an orderly manner. When the topic of "demi-human species" was gradually expanded, Hyou’s fondness for Fisher increased considerably after the third round of drinks, he suddenly recalled something previously disregarded, which was the purpose of Fisher’s party.

Fisher had only drunk a few sips of wine; the brewing skills of the elves were not inferior to the afterlife’s Nali, and this sake looked like water but had surprisingly high alcohol content, so Fisher only drank a few bowls and stopped, thus remaining very clear-headed.

"That’s right."

"...Well, you’re probably just going to send some gifts and make congratulatory remarks, so it’s not a troublesome matter. But even if you go there, no one will really bother with you; why not return to Zhong Country after delivering the gifts, and I’ll certainly host you well, showing you several unique demi-human species in our Zhong Country, how about it?"

Faced with Hyou’s enthusiasm, Fisher stroked his chin and calmly asked,

"Troublesome? Is there anything troublesome in the Royal Capital?"

He inquired about intelligence regarding the Royal Capital, as they were going there to find out whether the World Tree Tear inside Jianmu Palace had been stolen or not... previously Hooked kiss mentioned, the place where the Elf King lives is right in front of Jianmu Palace, which is used by elves for ceremonies, at the foot of the world tree.

"No troubles, it’s just that our King has lived for so long, his lifespan is nearing its end. But no elf knows exactly when that day will arrive; you know, for us elves, a few years or decades is a very small deviation... It’s just rumored that the King’s health rapidly deteriorated six months ago, and not only were the gates of Jianmu Palace and the Royal Palace completely shut to outsiders, but even other elves were not allowed to return to the Royal Capital."

Hyou gripped his wine cup as he spoke, but as he continued, he seemed to recall something and turned to look at the quietly sitting Uncle Chun beside him, asking,

"Hey, suddenly I remember, weren’t you in the Royal Capital six months ago? The Deer Race is unique to Chun Country, and with White Crane Species in ’Tan’ Country, Golden Toad Species in ’Zhang’ Country, they are the Three Great Auspicious. Six months ago, you and many elves were in the Royal Capital offering gifts to the King, was there any situation there?"

Every sixtieth year cycle, the elves appointed by the Elf King must offer tributes, of course, the frequency differs depending on the rank, so "Duke" offers tributes twelve times per cycle, "Marquis" ten times, and "Count" six times, thus elves often enter the Royal Capital staggeringly.

Six months ago happened to be the time for "Duke" and "Earl" to offer tributes, so Hyou suddenly recalled this and asked Uncle Chun.

Uncle Chun was speechless; when they arrived earlier, you didn’t care at all, even when discussing this matter you ignored it, now that someone found common interest with you, you’re eager to share everything you know...

Uncle Chun appeared young, yet his voice was rather steady and magnetic. After pondering briefly, he shook his head and replied,

"Nothing special happened, just offered treasures and blessings according to the usual practice. I met the Great King in person at the Royal Palace at that time, and his mental and physical condition were sufficient, with no signs of collapse. After completing the process, I didn’t remain in the Royal Capital long before returning to my territory. Now with the gates of Jianmu Palace and the Royal Capital tightly shut and news scarce, it’s hard not to speculate. This time for the King’s birthday early orders were given, forbidding any elves from entering the capital to celebrate."
