Chapter 1392 - A Feather

EndlessFantasy Translation
The fact that Ice Storm’s father was able to travel in Picturesque Orchid Lake for many years under the name of “Ferdosi” and was still not thrown into the swamp by the furious orc warriors to feed the crocodiles was enough to prove that he was well-read and eloquent.
His most famous deed was sneaking into the Land of Holy Light alone more than twenty years ago and stealing a large number of Picturesque Orchid Lake books. They had been stolen during the great extinction order era three thousand years ago when the Holy Light Army invaded Picturesque Orchid
Lake.
Although these precious historical materials, whose value could not be measured by money, had been purified by the Holy Light countless times, they had become mottled and brittle after such a long time. A light touch could turn them into powder.
However, Ferdosi of the Leopard Clan had carved the vast amount of information recorded in the Turan classics into his mind before they were destroyed. At least, after returning to Picturesque Orchid Lake, he had been boastful about it.
Until now, no orc noble could find any flaws in his flowery story.
It was during the adventure of sneaking into the land of Holy Light and taking back the Tulan classics that this “Ferdosi”of the Leopard clan met a witch who was wanted by the temple of Holy Light. During the process of escaping from the temple of Holy Light together, they formed a deep friendship and
readily agreed to carry out a forbidden research together with the witch, “Creating’a mixed-blood with double bloodlines and double curses.
That was the snow leopard female warrior, ice storm.
After returning to Tulan, Ferdosi’s whereabouts were still uncertain.
In the ancient books of Tulan that he took back from the land of Holy Light, in addition to recording the heroic words and glorious achievements of the ancient heroes, there seemed to be a large number of locations of the lost temples.
However, Ferdosi did not tell the coordinates of these temples to the descendants of the former heroes at all.
He tried to excavate the lost temples by himself and use the inheritance of the ancestral spirits to continuously become stronger.
Unfortunately, even these temples were buried in the dust of history for thousands of years.
The mechanisms, secret passages, traps, and guardians in the temples still shone with a dangerous cold light and flowed with lethal venom.
Even if he found and opened the door of the lost temple, he would be dead.
He would be dead if he entered the temple alone.
Besides, poets were a special profession that was welcomed and protected.
But a poet who knew too many secrets and was not well-behaved might not be.
He realized that he needed a backer.
Therefore, he got involved with canus, the “Jackal’who was a grave robber.
Two people who were also of low birth and ambitious, who also wanted to climb up the ladder by any means necessary, until they stepped on the shoulder of the Tiger King and the head of the Lion King, They were like-minded and hit it off at first sight.
After a few successful collaborations, Ferdosi became the brain of the Wolf King.
The war epic, ancient secret information, and the coordinates of the temple, in addition to the well-trained Tomb Raider army under the Wolf King, were a perfect match.
The Wolf King used the information from Feldorsi to quickly accumulate his first pot of gold.
Feldorsi also became the number two figure of the “Jackal”group, which was mainly made up of the Wolf clan as a panther.
This time, the Wolf King was prepared to take a gamble and plot against both the Lion King and the Tiger King in the depths of the sacred mountain.
This second-in-command naturally couldnt stay out of it.
‘When the Wolf King acted as a guide and blended in with the Tiger King’s hunting team, trying to lead the Lion King and the Tiger King to mutually lose.
Ferdosi was leading the most elite wolf warriors under the Wolf King to secretly set up an ambush at the edge of the Scarlet Mountain Peak, ready to come forward and receive the wolf king at any time.
Unexpectedly, Meng Chao’s appearance disrupted all of the Wolf King’s plans.
The strength Angel’s self-detonation made the situation even more chaotic.
Ferdosi had no choice but to brace himself and lead the Wolf Warriors to assist.
At this time, Meng Chao and the Wolf King were forced to the top of the sacred mountain under the pressure of the Lion King and the Tiger King.
The Wolf King’s plot was exposed in advance. The Lion King and the Tiger King chose to temporarily put aside their differences and wait until they found the ancestral spirit’s inheritance. They would then kill each other after dismembering the wolf king,
Naturally, the outcome of the Wolf Warriors led by Ferdosi was without any suspense.
Under the pressure of the Hor of destruction and the blade of fury, the Wolf warriors who were vastly different in strength couldn’t even die ina fierce battle. They could only surrender.
As for the ice storm, her most important purpose of returning to Tulanze from thousands of miles away was to find her father.
She had been searching for her father for so long that she could not find him anywhere. How could she not be excited and panic when her father suddenly appeared in front of her?
It was only natural that she would become a captive together with her father.
Fortunately, they had unique appearances. It was obvious that they were not ordinary jackal warriors.
“Jackal”kanus had started his career by helping Lion King excavate the lost temple. Lion King naturally knew his dog-head military advisor.
During the banquet, he even admired Ferdosi’s singing and personally gave him some strong liquor that would ignite with just a little bit.
Lion King knew that Ferdosi must have a lot of top-secret information about the Wolf King.
Such as the Wolf King’s goals and weaknesses.
Of course, he would not easily kill this leopard poet.
As for the ice storm, it was obvious that he was very close to Ferdosi due to his father’s facial features.
The Lion King used her as a bargaining chip and tied her to Ferdosi’s side, bringing them into the temple of the sacred mountain.
Because time was tight, the father and daughter of the Leopard clan did not have the time to be tortured.
However, the two of them did not get along well.
It was obvious that Ferdosi did not feel guilty, annoyed, or nostalgic about the “Experimenthe conducted more than 20 years ago.
If there was a hint of surprise in his eyes when the ice storm suddenly appeared in front of him, it was not because of the “Father-daughter relationship”.
It was because he did not expect that the experiment would actually succeed. The mixed-blood who carried the double bloodline and double curse was actually able to survive until today, and even controlled a rather powerful force. In fact……, he was not repelled by the totem armor because half of the “Holy
Light Blood’ flowed in his body.
Of course, he did not deny that he was ice storm’s father.
But after admitting this, he did not ask for ice storm’s name nor did he ask about ice storm’s mother’s recent situation. Instead, he directly asked, no, ordered ice storm to join him as his father, to join the Wolf King.
This was because “The wolf king is the only person who can save Turanze and even this world”!
Such a performance greatly disappointed ice storm.
Originally, she had been able to accept the fact that her father was cold by nature and that the relationship between her and her mother was not even considered as a casual love affair. It was just a fair deal and a scientific experiment.
However, she thought that when she really came looking for her father, at least a few traces of panic and guilt would flash across his face, even if he didn’t know what to do.
She didn’t expect that this guy would be so cold to this extent!
This made the ice storm furious.
It also made the snow leopard female warrior inherit her father’s cold-hearted “Talent’in an instant.
Now, she did not want to have anything to do with her biological father.
She just wanted to take back what he had stolen from her mother.
“He stole a feather from my mother. The feather used to be a bookmark in a book of Holy Light. The Book of Holy Light contains a lot of legends about the egg of chaos. My mother stole it from the magic tower when she stole the memory crystal!”
“It’s not an ordinary feather,”icestorm shouted. “It’s a secret weapon known as the ‘Mark’by the Holy Light Temple. It contains the terrifying power of the Holy Light, which is what the Wizard organization has been studying.
“The Wizard organization is trying to transform the ‘mark’into a ‘key’– the key to open the door to the ocean of light.
“Once the research is successful, there is no need to worship the illusory holy light all day long, nor do I have to obey the orders of the Holy Light Temple. I can use the power of the holy light freely and unscrupulously!
“There are very few ‘marks’, and even fewer of them can be successfully stolen by wizards and witches. My mother did not even steal the memory crystal. She stole the ‘mark’and became a wanted criminal of the Holy Light Temple. She was hunted down by ascetics and night watchers day and night, and
she died in the end.
“And this feather, which my mother traded her life for, was stolen by this shameless scoundrel!
“Iknow that the feather must still be on his body, because the ‘mark’can only activate the surging power of Holy Light. As a chaos creature, even the eyes, hair, and skin of the Tulan orc could be burnt by the Holy Light, let alone using the power of Holy Light.
“No one in the entire Tulan swamp can use the ‘mark’. Even if the guy wants to trade it for greater benefits, he doesn’t know who to trade with.
“Also, I believe that he will definitely not trade the ‘mark’easily, because he must have thought that he still needs the ‘mark’as a bargaining chip in case he wants to sneak into the land of Holy Light again, or my mother disguises herself and sneaks into his house.
“The ‘mark’must be on him., It is the only thing that can counter the egg of Chaos!”

Meng Chao quickly glanced at the leopard poet under his feet.
After his cultivation had broken through to the Deity Realm, his super vision allowed him to distinguish between most of the invisible light and penetrate his target’s clothes and even skin.
In fact, after being dragged and torn along the way, the clothes on the leopard poet’s body had been reduced to shreds.
Although the Lion King never tortured him, he had plundered all the items on the leopard poet’s body. He did not even spare a single spot.
Meng Chao did not find anything that could be called a “feather” or a ‘mark’ on his body.
But what Ice Storm said made sense.
A secret weapon from the Land of Holy Light……
It would indeed be difficult to trade it out in Picturesque Orchid Lake.
Meng Chao picked up the leopard poet, and his gaze was like a cold scalpel, gently scraping his facial features.
Sensing Meng Chao’s sharp killing intent, the leopard poet’s eyes finally turned away from the Wolf King.
Seeing Meng Chao’s black hair and black eyes, as well as his gorgeous armor that was not inferior to the Wolf King’s, the leopard poet was slightly stunned.
“How incredible……”
A flame of excitement surged in his eyes. He was not worried about his situation at all. Instead, he was filled with intense curiosity and joy. ‘An outsider managed to actually wear a totem armor that has received the ancestral spirit’s blessing. If I’m not mistaken, the inside of this totem armor is the same as
that of the Wolf King’s armor. It contains the abilities of the three epic heroes, Fist, Stomach-less King, and Broken Wings!
“Who are you? Have you also been sent by the great ancestral spirit to help the Wolf King and help us save Picturesque Orchid Lake?”
Meng Chao frowned deeply.
He had shared the battle experience and innate skills contained in the three slaughter statues with the Wolf King.
Indeed, three mysterious and complicated totems had appeared on the surface of his armor.
He did not expect the leopard tribe poet to see the origin of his power from the three totems at a glance.
He was indeed worthy of the name, “Ferdosi.”
Apart from that, Meng Chao also noticed that the leopard poet’s tone was different from that of ordinary orcs.
Compared with the modern Turan language that was currently prevalent in Picturesque, his was simple, rough, straightforward, and mixed with a lot of slang.
The leopard poet spoke with a lot of tongue flicks, tongue curls, and trills. It was even closer to the ancient Turan language that the human-faced spider had instilled into Meng Chao’s brain.
This language, which was popular seven to eight thousand years ago, had not completely vanished. It still retained a certain amount of scientific research and computational ability. A unit of bytes many times more information than the modern Turan language.
The leopard poet used an ancient tone, which revealed a trace of surprise and expressed the right amount of respect to Meng Chao, this mysterious expert with black hair and black eyes. It even indirectly highlighted his own value as he directly pointed out the origin of Meng Chao’s power.
‘There were several layers of meaning in just two to three sentences from him. That was something most Turan orcs, who preferred to pull out their fists rather than their tongues, could not do.
However, Meng Chao did not understand why such a knowledgeable and extremely intelligent Leopard Clan poet would be so loyal to “Jackal” Kanus.
Time was of the essence. An increasing number of lion and tiger warriors was being entangled and torn to pieces by the wildly dancing mandrake roots, branches, and vines.
‘The Lion King and Tiger King were also being suppressed by the Wolf King. They were becoming more and more impatient as well as flustered.
Meng Chao grabbed the leopard poet’s collar and growled, “Hand over the ‘mark!”
Ferdosi was taken aback for a moment.
He did not seem to understand. The totem armor on Meng Chao and the Wolf King were clearly branded with the marks of Fist, Stomach-less King, and Broken Wings.
Why did this mysterious powerhouse with black hair and black eyes want to harm the Wolf King?
His gaze moved quickly between Meng Chao and Ice Storm for a moment. A bizarre, fanatical, and martyr-like expression appeared on his face.
“No, I won’t hand the ‘mark over to you.”
The leopard poet smiled and said, “Because you want to harm the only person who has a chance to save Picturesque Orchid Lake, Lord Wolf King!”
“You……”
Meng Chao was familiar with the leopard poet’s expression. It showed that he was unrepentant and unafraid of death.
In Dragon City, he had seen countless human warriors with similar expressions on their faces as they charged toward the overwhelming beast horde.
In Picturesque Orchid Lake, he had also seen numerous orc warriors with similar expressions on their faces as they issued the final and most glorious challenge to death or their enemies, who were many times stronger than them.
He knew that once someone showed such an expression on their face, it would be almost impossible to force him to yield despite any pain, torture, or death threats.
‘Open your eyes and see clearly!”
Feeling helpless, Meng Chao could only grab the leopard poet’s cervical vertebra and forcibly turn his head in the mother of origin’s direction, “Do you see that thing, which seems to be beating like a demon’s heart or brain? Since you’ve infiltrated the Land of Holy Light and stolen the secrets of the Holy Light
Temple, you must have heard of the name, ‘Egg of Chaos’!
“That’s the Egg of Chaos, and your dearest Lord Wolf King has been controlled by it!
“Once the Wolf King is completely turned into the Egg of Chaos’ puppet, or even the Demon King of Terror’s host inside the Egg of Chaos, not only will he be incapable of saving Picturesque Orchid Lake, he’ll even become the main cause of Picturesque Orchid Lake’s destruction!
“We don’t need to harm the Wolf King, but we have to find a way to suppress the Egg of Chaos and use our will to absorb the power within the Egg of Chaos in a relatively controllable, stable, and safe way.
“It’s the only way to save Picturesque Orchid Lake. Do you understand?”
Meng Chao subconsciously poured a lot of spirit energy into his voice.
His words were literally deafening.
The leopard poet’s brain hummed from the shock, and he could not help but fall into deep thought.
However, after careful consideration, the result was still an unwavering “no.”
“T don’t know who you are. Perhaps you do have unrivaled power and some unknown information, but I only obey the Wolf King’s orders.”
The leopard poet’s eyes were filled with reverence like flowing fire. He used flowery words and spoke about the Wolf King in an almost mushy tone. “You have no idea how amazing the Wolf King is. When I first met him, he was not even twenty years old. He was just a corpse-eating dog who lived at the
bottom of the grave robbers’ circle. There was no way that he had access to all kinds of top-secret information about the lost temple and ancient Turan history.
“At that time, I even had thoughts of recruiting him to be my subordinate.
“However, after just one contact with the Wolf King, I was horrified to discover that underneath the corpse-eating dog’s weak appearance was an incomparably powerful and intense soul.
“He clearly never received any education, yet his mind was sharper and more meticulous than a bard like me.
“He shouldn’t have known the lost temple’s coordinates at all. I risked my life to steal a lot of top-secret information from the Land of Holy Light. In the entire Picturesque Orchid Lake, only I knew about it. Yet, he was like a prophet, always helping me to fill in the gaps and fill in the fragmented maps as well
as information.
“He clearly shouldn’t have mastered so many amazing combat techniques, as well as techniques to break traps and sneak assassinations. Yet, he was already like a veteran assassin in his early twenties. He could use two fingers to dismantle fatal traps inside the lost temple, or he could use a single hair to kill
three targets at the same time.
“Besides, he talked about the evolution of the situation between the five great clans, the power struggle within the Wolf Clan, the weaknesses in the Lion King and Tiger King’s personalities, and how to make use of these weaknesses to quickly rise up, the end of this era of prosperity and the beginning of the
era of glory, and when the mandrake flower would begin to bloom. He made astonishing predictions three, five, or even seven, eight years ago.
“There doesn’t seem to be any evidence. There isn’t even any prophecy to aid in his process of speculation. Even nonsense that he spouted when he was drunk would always hit the bull’s-eye.
“Icant explain such a miracle.
“Even though I’ve gone through all the war epics and heroic legends in Picturesque Orchid Lake, I still can’t find a second mysterious and powerful existence like the Wolf King.
“Ican only believe that the Wolf King has received the collective blessing of billions of ancestral spirits. He is the greatest savior and conqueror that the ancestral spirits have chosen and bestowed upon Picturesque Orchid Lake. He is destined to lead the Turan civilization to rise again and defeat the Holy
Light Temple once and for all!
“If there are unknown dangers hidden in the depths of the Holy Mountain temple, such as the Egg of Chaos lurking in the underground rocks, it is possible that they can control the Wolf King’s mind.
“Then, Lord Wolf King must have predicted the danger three to five years in advance, and he must have thought of a foolproof countermeasure.
“If Lord Wolf King seems like the mother’s puppet in such a situation, I can only say that it is just an illusion on the surface. He must have done it on purpose. Everything is part of Lord Wolf King’s plan. He definitely has the confidence and ability to draw the mother’s power, but he is not under its control.
“Therefore, before Lord Wolf King gives me a clear order, I can’t hand the ‘mark’ over to avoid disrupting his plan!”
