Chapter 201: Continued

"Aww!" Nibote immediately pawed at the soil with his hind paws, making a burying motion.

After deliberately provoking the Magic Wand Tree, it leaped over the fence and ran away quickly.

The Magic Wand Tree couldn't reach it, so it threw a large lump of lava at it. "Chirp."

Xie Juanhan's courtyard was always in chaos, but he couldn't be bothered with it. He turned his attention away and invited Sylvan into his study to redesign the magic circle.

Looking at their manuscript, Sylvan asked in astonishment, "You're going to build such a massive magic circle, encompassing all the farmland and the nearby forests?"

Xie Juanhan: "Theoretically, it should work. Breaking the giant magic circle down into smaller magic circles and then reassembling them will make maintenance easier."

Sylvan: "But do you have that many rune templates?"

Xie Juanhan nodded. "Yes, besides the ones in the yard, we have several large baskets in our room."

"Several baskets?!" Sylvan could hardly believe his eyes when he looked at rune templates, these magical materials, in baskets?

Xie Juanhan: "Yes, several baskets. The other part of the rune templates hasn't been sent back yet, but they should be back in a few days."

Sylvan thought for a moment, then asked, "Are there enough other magical materials?"

Xie Juanhan: "That's enough. We've already asked the Dwarf to help us make the purchases in advance."

Xie Juanhan hadn't expected things to go so smoothly; with a little effort, he had all the necessary materials gathered.

As for gold coins--

They still have the gold coins from selling Wraith Wine, Golden Vine Pumpkin, and other magical wines left over; they only need to use a portion of them, without having to touch the gold coins saved up in Telingewei.

The two dragons are wealthy and powerful, and can easily set up a giant magic circle.

Now that there are no problems with the finances, we can start designing a new magic circle.

After designing the magic circle, Xie Juanhan consulted with the Elf priest Yiluo and some mage friends, and carefully optimized it.

The design was finalized before the Star Berry even formed flower buds.

Xie Juanhan and his group invited Dwarf craftsmen to come and help set up the magic circle according to their design.

For the past six months, the Dwarf craftsmen have been helping them repair the giant magic circle on the Kaonielin Plain, and their skill in setting up the magic circle has improved significantly compared to before.

Under the supervision of Telingewei, a master of magic circles, the Dwarf craftsmen quickly set up the magic circle.

This enormous magic circle encompassed all of Xie Juanhan's farmland and ponds.

After the magic circle was activated, the rune templates inside emitted a faint glow.

At night, these lights are especially noticeable, twinkling like stars in the sky.

Xie Juanhan's family seemed to have brought the real starry sky to their farmland.

The Star Berry became berries that grew inside stars.

The farmland was so beautiful.

Sometimes, Xie Juanhan and his friends would even go out to cool off in the summer, not from their homes, but from the fields.

--Main Moli insisted on guarding the farmland, and usually lived in the farmland during the summer.

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei would sometimes come over to keep it company.

Goblin found them relaxing in the fields, they would run out of the village and follow them.

The Flower Elf love excitement, and seeing the commotion here, they'll come over to join in.

The Flower Elf are here, Weaving Fairies are here too.

The Water Demon will also come over when they have time.

Xie Juanhan and the others simply moved some small stools to the edge of the field so that everyone could rest and chat there.

By sheer coincidence, their farmland became a plaza for magical creatures.

People like to come to the farmland whenever they have free time.

That day, Xie Juanhan and his family were chatting in the fields.

The Goblin ran over, and the Flower Elf gradually emerged as well.

Xie Juanhan led Harper and the Goblin to search for ripe Cold Melon in the farmland.

Their Cold Melon are ripening one after another, and the first Cold Melon is already ready to be picked.

The night was cool and still, so we chatted and enjoyed some Cold Melon.

They've been growing Cold Melon for several years, and they save seeds for themselves every year.

Cold Melon are not magical plants, but thanks to various Elemental Crystal fertilizers and Dragon Power Crystal fertilizers, they grow better year by year.

They walked through the Cold Melon patch, the lush Cold Melon vines reaching up to their calves.

Xie Juanhan bent down and tapped the Cold Melon, trying to pick the Cold Melon that was at its ripest.

Cold Melon are somewhat similar to cantaloupes, but Cold Melon are generally not as sweet as cantaloupes.

Perhaps because they haven't been professionally trained, most Cold Melon are just sweet, or even a little bland.

The Cold Melon that Xie Juanhan and his group grew were different.

Nourished by various fertilizers and Magic Power processes, and through generations of cultivation and selection, their Cold Melon taste rich, sweet, and exceptionally fragrant.

Xie Juanhan knocked on each melon one by one.

Harper and the others imitated him, tapping the melons with their paw pads, one by one.

If you really can't figure it out by knocking, then as you knock some more, they quietly sniff around with their noses.

Smelling is much simpler than listening to sounds.

Harper and the others, relying on their sense of smell, quickly located the same Cold Melon as Xie Juanhan.

Xie Juanhan placed his hand on the Cold Melon, and his furry paws covered it as well.

Habu had nowhere to put his paws, so he placed them on the back of Xie Juanhan's hand.

Xie Juanhan looked at the muddy claws on the back of his hand and said, "How about this Cold Melon?"

The furry creatures solemnly replied, "Aww!"

Nibote, carrying a large basket, came running over, gesturing to put the Cold Melon in the basket. "Meow."

Xie Juanhan weighed the Cold Melon in his hand, put it in the basket, and said, "If this isn't enough, pick another one."

Harper and the others turned their heads without hesitation. "Aww!"

The fuzzy creature frolicked in the melon patch, running around picking up melons.

In the end, their claws and Xie Juanhan's hand landed on the same Cold Melon.

Xie Juanhan smiled and said, "Great minds think alike."

The furry creatures understood and strongly agreed, "Chirp!"

Xie Juanhan quickly led the furry creatures to carry the Cold Melon to the edge of the field.

The Flower Elf landed and sat on the edge of the basket, looking around. "Is the Dragon Lord not here today?"

Xie Juanhan: "He went to help Kuitifulong with the house repairs."

The Flower Elf immediately exclaimed, "Ah, that Cyclops! He seems to live in the Inner Land— "

Xie Juanhan gently cut open the Cold Melon with a clean silver knife. The fully ripe Cold Melon split open with a sound, revealing the honey-like flesh inside, and a rich, sweet aroma wafted out.

The Flower Elf were drawn to the Cold Melon, their eyes fixed on it without blinking.

Xie Juanhan cut the Cold Melon into wedges, first distributing some to the furry creatures, then handing them to the Flower Elf, casually remarking, "Yes, he lives on Mount Monteslao."

A Flower Elf held Cold Melon in her tiny hands and said, "The spring water from Mount Monteslao is exceptionally clear and cool; it's said to taste like the purest water."

Xie Juanhan continued slicing the Cold Melon: "It doesn't have much of an off-taste."

Another Flower Elf: "Is it because Mount Monteslao is the entrance to the sacred mountain range of the Inner Land?"

Xie Juanhan wasn't very familiar with the local geography. "What?"

The Flower Elf immediately began to introduce him to the flowers, all talking at once:

"It's the sacred mountain where the ancient gods lived."

"During the great war of the gods, they sealed the sacred mountain, imprisoning the young spirits within, and the seal remains unbroken to this day."

"The Cyclops were the guardians of the mountain, but it seems that this idea is no longer used."

Xie Juanhan listened as if it were gossip. "Is it still possible to open the sacred mountain and go inside?"

A Flower Elf shook her head. "It seems unlikely, the Inner Land is shattered."

Another Flower Elf said, "Legend has it that one can enter the gods' hunting grounds from other fragments of the Inner Land, and then enter the sacred mountain from the hunting grounds."

Xie Juanhan: "Peiaonuoer Hunting Grounds?"

The Flower Elf were shocked. "You actually knew that?"

Xie Juanhan: "I saw it in a magic encyclopedia before."

Xie Juanhan chatted casually with the Flower Elf, and at most gossiped with Telingewei a bit, but didn't take the matter to heart.

A few days later, when Kuitifulong, who had finished repairing the house, brought them some spring water, he said, "I found information about the Peiaonuoer Hunting Grounds you inquired about, but no creatures have been there for many years."

Xie Juanhan immediately picked up on his tone and turned to look at Telingewei: "You've inquired about it?"

Telingewei nodded.

Xie Juanhan then asked, "What do you mean by 'no living creatures have been here for many years'? Is that hunting ground open to the public?"

Kuitifulong: "Yes, I can help you unlock the fragments of the Inner Land."

Harper and the others were listening nearby.

Upon hearing the keyword, Haxi immediately squeezed out from beside Xie Juanhan, his eyes sparkling as he asked if he could go play, "Chirp?"

Upon hearing the keyword "going to play," Nibote and the others all crowded around, exclaiming, "Aww?"

Kuitifulong's voice was deep. "You can go in on the night the moon disappears, but you can only stay for one day and one night. Before the moon rises the next day, those who go in must come out."

Haxi and the others immediately responded, "Chirp!"

"Wait!" Xie Juanhan raised his hand. "We haven't agreed to take you out to play yet."

Except for Moli, all the furry creatures expertly nuzzled him with their heads, whimpering.

Xie Juanhan was jolted off balance by the nine fluffy heads. "Hey, why are you doing this again?"

I don't care about the furry creatures, as long as they're useful.

They lowered their voices, making the sound even more obsequious, "Eek."
