Relatives are coming to visit, I need to get ready to entertain them, ugh, what a hassle...

Chapter 459 Water Village

"Phew, it's out."

Latis retrieved the Dream Nail and let out a long breath as the dazzling light slowly faded.

He didn't try to help the Moth Warrior defeat the Ancient Tree Monster in the dream, since that was all in the past, and even if he did it in the dream, it wouldn't make any difference.

However, he was still somewhat surprised. When he talked to Zha Zha and the others in the Moss Tribe, they all said that the Moth Warriors eventually gave up on the Ancient Tree Monster and left. He didn't expect that the truth was that the Moth Warriors had tried many times in private...

It gives off the feeling of a shut-in hobbyist practicing the Dragon Ascension Technique for twenty years just to show off his katana-wielding prowess in front of everyone... although in the end he still didn't win...

Latis suppressed a laugh, shook his head, and looked at the Moth Warrior, who was still sitting upright on the tree trunk, looking somewhat tired, and said:

"There's another new lead."

"Oh? What is it?" the moth warrior asked, perking up quickly.

“You seem to have considered giving that flower to the lady you admire,” Latis said, stroking his chin. “If there were a lady who would make you feel settled.”

"……Eh?"

The moth warrior seemed to have not expected this answer and stood there stunned for a moment.

"Hahaha..." Mantis, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly laughed, elbowed the Moth Fighter, and said:

"So you did have those thoughts, didn't you? I knew it! You kept denying it before, saying things like 'If you have no woman in your heart, you'll naturally draw your sword like a god'... You were just using that excuse because you didn't dare to say it out loud!"

"Wait, wait a minute!"

The Moth Warrior hurriedly stood up, interrupting Mantis Maru, and said:

"That's not right, these are two different things! It's normal for me to have aspirations for this when I was young, but I'm a tough guy now! I would never let a gentle breeze end my journey!"

"That's true, but you should at least check it out, right?"

Mantis chuckled leisurely, moved the harp closer, plucked a few light tunes, glanced at the speechless Moth Warrior, and said to Latis:

"If it's related to a lady you admire, then it must be there. The Moth Warrior kept telling us about it every day..."

How can you be so sure it's that one?

The moth warrior crossed his arms defiantly, stared at the mantis-like warrior, who shrugged and spread his hands, for a moment, then rubbed his head and sighed before turning to look at Latis.

"Sigh, I'll lead the way for you... but this time the distance might be a little far."

"okay."

Seeing the Moth Warriors preparing to set off again, Latis took one last swig of the nectar, stood up, and said:

"Let's go, where are we headed this time?"

The moth warrior walked to the edge of the arena, gazed at the azure lake for a long time, and said:

"It takes nearly a quarter of the Forgotten Lakes to reach the lady's village."

……

……

"If the bell at the stag beetle station has stopped ringing."

"Then you will know that I have gone far away."

"I will miss you constantly, every time I begin to look up."

"One year, two years."

"Three years, four years."

"Unbeknownst to me, five years have passed since I left..."

The little tune hummed by the Moth Warrior caught Latis's attention. He patted the stag beetle trailing behind him, looked curiously at the Moth Warrior beside him, and asked:

"I feel like I've heard you sing this tune before. Is it a folk song from somewhere?"

"Oh, this."

The moth warrior stopped humming, scratched his head, and said:

"If you ask me, it's hard to explain in a short time... It's probably a song that many monsters who are away from home hum. Each singer's lyrics are slightly different, so no one knows what the original lyrics are, and therefore it's impossible to verify its original source."

“I see.” Latis nodded and smiled. “But it sounds quite romantic. The tunes that you wanderers share may also reflect a special kind of emotion.”

"yes……"

The moth warrior sighed, glanced at the stag beetle, and said:

"However, the lyrics 'If the bell at the stag beetle station has stopped ringing, you'll know I've gone far away' have remained unchanged, which is quite intriguing... Perhaps a long, long time ago, in the home of all the underground monsters, there existed a stag beetle station."

"Unfortunately, it seems to be in complete disrepair now." Latis recalled the stations he had seen before, shook his head, and said:

"Nowadays, there are probably very few monsters that ride stag beetles."

"Yes."

The Moth Warrior nodded slightly and said:

"The decline of the stag beetle station... although it may not seem to have much to do with the lives of the various tribes, and it was just an occasional means of transportation, in reality, after the stag beetles disappeared, the distance began to grow ever more distant..."

"Getting further and further away?" Latis suddenly noticed a hint of homesickness in the Moth Warrior's words.

"Getting farther and farther away..."

The moth warrior repeated himself, then looked up at the endless, heavy stone wall in the distance and said:

"Perhaps it is because every step on the road back is extremely difficult that so many wandering monsters are unable to return to their homeland in their entire lives."

……

……

Half a day passed quickly. The group sometimes ran and sometimes rode on stag beetles. Latis's magic continuously enhanced their speed, increasing it by nearly four or five times. With such rapid travel, they finally arrived at the village mentioned by the moth warrior in time.

It was a village resembling the water towns of Jiangnan or Venice that Latis had seen online in his previous life. The waters of the Forgotten Lake overflowed the ditches between the houses, and after the monsters came out of their houses, they would travel by boat to their destination.

"Ahem, this is it."

The moth warrior stood on a distant hillside, gazing at the village, and coughed before saying:

“This place was not originally very habitable, because scorching streams of light would often blow up, easily setting their houses on fire or blowing them far away. They were already struggling to survive, but their ancestors had lived here for generations, which is why they managed to keep the village afloat.”

"Good heavens, the environment is so harsh, why did you live here in the first place?" Latis couldn't help but ask curiously.

"At first... I heard that the ancestors of this village were all travelers from all over the world who originally just stayed here, but over time they decided to settle down."

A look of reminiscence crossed the Moth Warrior's face as he said:

“There weren’t these strange turbulent currents at first, but decades or even centuries ago, one day, these scorching turbulent currents suddenly started to appear here. Fortunately, they have diminished a lot now. In addition, the ditches I dug for them have slightly diluted the heat with water vapor, and the vines and other plants I planted have also effectively blocked the turbulent currents and prevented them from being blown away. So now it is quite habitable.”

"Oh~"

Seeing the hidden pride in the Moth Warrior's expression, Latis raised an eyebrow, a teasing smile playing on his lips, and said:

"You...helped them with these construction changes?"

“Yes, it was inspired by places I’ve traveled to, like the Moss Tribe…” the Moth Warrior explained, then suddenly sensed something was amiss, his brow furrowing as he looked at Latis and asked:

"No, what do you mean? Are you implying something?"

"No, I don't think so." Latis chuckled, feigning nonchalance, "I'm just a little curious, did you meet that lady you're interested in around this time..."

"...Ahem."

The Moth Warrior coughed twice more, his eyes darting around for a moment before turning away without answering the question.

"...Anyway, let's take a look at the villages in the distance first, my friends."

……

After a while.

The moth warrior stood before the village entrance, hesitated for a long time, then suddenly coughed lightly and said:

"How about you go inside and ask her for me? Tell her you're looking for Miss Violet, and ask her about that flower..."

"?"

Latis frowned, narrowed his eyes, and looked at the moth fighter, saying:

"No, you're already here, why are you afraid to go in?"

“That’s not how it is.” The Moth Warrior looked away and whispered weakly, “I’m going to take a walk around and check the area to see if there’s anything that needs repair. Really, I’ll be right back.”

"Tsk... No wonder you're still a virgin."

Latis muttered to himself, then waved his hand helplessly and said:

"Alright, let's go find them first. You come back soon."

"okay……"

The moth warrior scratched his head awkwardly, spun around in place, and then walked clumsily toward the outskirts of the village.

"Speechless," Latis muttered, then strolled around the village entrance with the stag beetle on his leash. Suddenly, he spotted an otter monster resting on a boat. He exchanged a glance with the monster, waved vigorously, and shouted:

"We're here to find someone! Is Miss Violet there?!"

Violet?

The otter rowed its boat closer to Latis, scratched its head, and said:

"I can take you to wait near Violet's house; she shouldn't be home right now."

“Oh, that works too.” Latis nodded and asked, “Do you know when it will be back? We just want to ask it about the whereabouts of an item.”

"It shouldn't take long."

The otter shrugged and laughed:

"After all, it was just going to take a stroll around the outskirts of the village and check out the nearby facilities."

"..."

Latis paused for a moment, exchanged glances with his teammates, and then couldn't help but burst into laughter.
