Chapter 4016 The Song of the Purple Moon (67) — Upper-Class Nobles

Farming is not actually difficult.

After all, Lord [Xiang Feihu] had quite a lot of experience—but she looked at Lady [Black Cat] with surprise and found that this guy, who gave off a rather bad feeling, was actually quite skilled at doing farm work.

"Ms. Black Cat, have you had any similar experiences?" Li Huamei asked subconsciously.

The main problem is that Yuga isn't here, and this place is too quiet... so quiet that it's starting to make people restless. [Shohiko] needs somewhere to distract himself.

Typically, when asking whether an immortal being has a certain related experience, it usually refers to whether the other person has "devoured" a legendary counterpart who has had a similar experience.

The war between isomorphs has never been a topic that the Void Immortals need to avoid.

Legendary status can even reflect the strength of immortal life to some extent. Some special areas even have entry rules based on legendary status. If the legendary status is too low, there is no chance to even enter.

Therefore, apart from those immortals who have just entered the void and are in their "cute pig" stage, almost every immortal being that has been walking for a period of time will have a few points of legend on them.

It's like some kind of beginner's perk, as if newcomers to the Void are very likely to encounter their first legendary counterpart...

The first three are the most likely to be encountered—this is a summary from the [Secret Society].

However, collecting legendary items becomes difficult starting from 10%, and the difficulty increases with each subsequent 10% stage... Once you reach 60%, they are extremely rare.

100% purity—I've never heard of that before, not even as a rumor.

……

Miss Witch naturally knew what Li Huamei was asking.

She simply said, "I used to work as a milkmaid on a farm owned by a heartless capitalist, and occasionally helped out in the fields."

Li Huamei nodded. What she meant was that this was the experience of the Black Cat Lady herself... Moreover, although the Black Cat Lady's tone was calm, she could still sense a hint of self-mockery in her voice.

It must have been a rather unpleasant experience.

"Aren't you... worried about your sister?" Li Huamei thought for a moment and said, "That Miss Xiaomeng."

"I'm worried, but what can I do?" The witch shrugged. "I can only focus on breaking the deadlock in front of me... Speaking of which, what's wrong with this ground? I've been hoeing for so long, but I can't even turn the soil over much—I can't take it anymore, it's too tiring!"

The witch immediately dropped the farm tools in her hands, sat cross-legged on the ground, propped her chin up, and rolled her eyes—she was too used to automatic things, and suddenly switching to manual was a bit of a shock.

The main problem is that this body, whose power is currently sealed, is just too weak.

"No, why did you flip through so many pages?"

But soon, the witch discovered that [Xiangfeihu]'s results were almost ten times that of hers—even though they were both using the same divine farming tool taken from a basket, and their farming skills weren't that different, right?
"This... you didn't even realize it?" [Xiang Feihu] was also taken aback. Although this [Black Cat] lady wasn't physically strong, her skills were definitely up to par. Logically speaking, the two shouldn't be too far apart. "Why don't you try using my hoe?"

The witch actually took it, then gave it a few perfunctory strokes with the hoe, shook her head, and said, "I don't feel any difference... Speaking of which, this hoe is too heavy, isn't it? We're all mortals now, Lord [Xiang Feihu], even if we're mortals, your stamina is too abundant, isn't it?"

"It's as light as a feather in my hands," [Xiang Feihu] said abruptly, then picked up the farm tool the witch had thrown on the ground. "This one too, it's no different from a hollow bamboo stalk."

The witch frowned immediately, weighing the two farm tools in her hand—both felt unusually heavy.

"Fine, fine, so this is how you play it?" The witch's cheek twitched slightly. "Are you targeting me?"

The witch was furious.

"Hehe, you've already turned over so much land?" Just then, Yuga strolled over leisurely, holding a teacup. "I'm starting to believe that you can actually grow things and then pay me rent. I never thought I'd become a landlord here. Fate is truly amazing."

Holding two farm tools, the witch suppressed her anger and forced a tavern hostess-like smile. "Senior... why are these farm tools so heavy when I hold them? But she's perfectly fine. Am I not pretty enough?"

“No, you’re actually quite good-looking.” Yuga blinked. “Back when I was young, I would have been at least a village beauty, though my figure wasn’t great.”

"...I can only get an Ace, I'm really sorry."

You're some weirdo with green skin... isn't that insulting?
"Hehehe, it's good that you know your shortcomings." Yuga chuckled. "Keep working hard, let this old man eat the rent he collects soon... I'm quite looking forward to it."

"...Senior, do you have any farming tools suitable for me?" The witch's heart stirred.

Yuga said calmly, "It's all the same. Farming here requires sincerity. People with too many thoughts will naturally feel something weighing on them, and everything will become unusually heavy."

Then the old man chuckled and went back into the house, which made the witch furious. She stubbornly ran into the tool shed and pulled out about ten farm tools, testing them one by one.

But unsurprisingly, she was indeed targeted by these amazing farming tools, each one heavier than the last!

“…How about I do it?” Li Huamei said reassuringly. “You can be in charge of sowing and watering.”

"I really don't believe it..."

Unexpectedly, the witch suddenly sat cross-legged on the ground, muttering to herself, and then closed her eyes and entered a meditative state—it was just the most basic meditation exercise to restore magic power.

She became an apprentice at a magic tower, and the first meditation technique she learned... was also the first opportunity to change her life.

……

Inside the house, through the dim window, Yuga calmly watched Li Huamei and Miss Witch in the courtyard, puffing out the steam rising from his teacup.

Suddenly, a knocking sound came from the window on the other side.

With a slight flick of his finger, Yuga opened the window automatically, and a black raven flew in quickly and landed on the table beside him.

"Is there something you need?" Yuga asked calmly.

The crow croaked like a child, "A terrifying fellow has arrived at the border of the courtyard. He's already defeated two guards. I'm afraid he'll alert those guys inside the restricted area!"

Yuga frowned immediately.

The boundary... was not placed into the courtyard, which means that the other party is not qualified to enter?

Generally speaking, there are only a few types that are so unpopular...

"Do you want to go take a look?" the crow suddenly asked again.

Yuga pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said calmly, "I am just a gardener in the ordinary district. As long as I don't come here, it has nothing to do with me... I'm not going anywhere."

After thinking for a moment, Yu Jiahu said again, "Go and see where that brat named Zhang Bolu is."

"A stubborn guy with a soft heart!"

After saying this, the crow flew away with a whoosh, its speed comparable to light.

Yuga shook his head. What could he do? The only thing to talk to in this place was this crow. He didn't even have a bicycle, so he had to make do.

"Can you learn it, Golden Will..." It sighed softly, its gaze remaining fixed on the two people in the courtyard, its deep voice muttering, "I reckon even Silver Will would be a stretch, hehehe."

……

……

……

……

All around her were exotic flowers and plants whose names she couldn't even recall... This was incredible—for Testarossa.

With her experience.

“It seems that this ‘sea of ​​flowers’ has existed for even longer than my time…” Testarossa frowned slightly. “Is it a remnant from an even earlier divine era?”

She was almost certain of her guess.

Because she couldn't even find any buildings in her time that were similar in style to this place.

Yes, besides a large number of unknown exotic flowers, there were also many buildings around her... pavilions, bridges, or a lonely bench.

They are mostly facilities for people to rest.

As for the pedestrian walkways in the [Sea of ​​Flowers], Testarosa recognized the material of the paving stones... a very precious mineral that is basically used in the creation of artificial artifacts.

At this moment, Testarossa was not thinking about the extravagance of the courtyard, but rather about the issue of resources.

If a courtyard is so extravagant, then the creator behind it... must possess almost unlimited resources?
"This is Angie's hometown..." Testarossa murmured to herself, "Is it the mysterious country behind her?"

She pondered for a moment, then her gaze fell upon a semi-transparent building not far away... Without the slightest hesitation, Testarossa walked straight over.

Because she saw what appeared to be human figures inside the building.

Testarossa slowly pushed open the door and entered. The building's style was quite unique, but one could vaguely make out that this place seemed to be a tea house or something similar.

But the so-called figure was not a real person, but just a portrait hanging on the wall.

"Is the painting depicting...the image of women in the era in which the courtyard was located?"

Testarossa observed for a moment and subconsciously arrived at this conclusion... a feeling that was almost intuitive, yet also as if she had always known.

She frowned slightly, equally unable to find anything recognizable in this feminine garment.

"Lady Testarossa, how may I help you?"

A woman's voice, as gentle as a spring breeze, suddenly rang out. At the same time, the previously dim area instantly became bright—but Testarossa still couldn't see anyone.

"Who are you?" she asked calmly. "Where are you?"

A pale blue orb of light suddenly emerged from the long table in front of him. "I am the manager of this teahouse. You may call me Rimbaud."

“You…” Testarossa frowned slightly, “know me?”

"Yes, at the moment of my birth, I recorded your identity information and that of all the nobles of the Empire," the orb of light named [Rambo] replied with a respectful and reserved voice.

“Imperial nobles…” Testarossa’s gaze narrowed slightly, but she was filled with great doubt.

Noble... She was indeed, and not just a noble, but a princess—however, a princess of a fallen kingdom, whose kingdom had been destroyed by the Holy Demon Empire.

But this... is clearly not a creation of her former kingdom.

"It seems Angie is still hiding many things from me..."

Testarossa murmured to herself, recalling the scrutinizing and manipulative gaze of a certain princess, and felt a wave of weakness wash over her.

"Then tell me my identity and background," Testarossa said calmly.

Angie sent me to this lousy place... which means she has tacitly allowed me to learn about the things she has been hiding from me through this "method"?
I am in [Rambo]'s database.

So, is the "Testalosa" recorded by "Rimbaud" really her, or... just a legendary counterpart that has not yet been discovered?
This isotope may even have been devoured by other isotopes—there are quite a few possibilities, so Testarossa couldn't figure out the clear picture in a short time.

"You are the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Agare in the Empire, the successor to the marquis, and the vice commander of the Crimson Wings Legion. You are hailed as one of the ten most outstanding young people in the Empire."

Testarossa's lips curled into a slight smile. "This identity sounds pretty good... So, who are my family members?"

"Your father is the current Marquis Charles Agareth, and your mother is the sister of the current Marquis Basiloi, Lady Shubai. Furthermore, your sister, Lady Meixi, is one of the current candidates for Crown Princess of the Empire. Lady Testarossa, are you satisfied with my answer?"

"A marriage alliance between marquises, and the younger sister is a candidate for crown princess?" Testarossa chuckled. "Heh, in an old system like the Empire, that's indeed a common occurrence... In other words, my status is truly illustrious?"

“Yes,” Rimbaud said directly. “Even within the empire’s aristocratic system, you are an absolute upper class.”

Testarossa narrowed her eyes. "So, you're saying I have a very high level of authority here?"

"According to the regulations, you have the right to use all the facilities in the Noble District of the Courtyard at will." [Rambo] floated on the air. "Except for the Royal District, which requires permission, all areas of the Courtyard will be open to you, and you may bring no more than three people, except for anyone on the blacklist, to enter."

"Can I take these things?" Testarossa suddenly asked.

[Rimbaud] said directly, "Please provide detailed information about what you need."

Testarossa pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "I need a flower called Cecilia."

“Okay, searching for you…” [Rambo] paused for a moment, then continued, “Found the keyword [Cecilia] flower… Search complete. Currently, the [Noble - Blank] section has items with superior varieties, in ample stock. The [Common - Mercury] section has items with common varieties, in ample stock. Which one would you like?”

Testarossa frowned. "It seems to be... the kind that emits golden starlight?"

[Rambo] said, "It should be a rare species, but rare species can only be cultivated in the royal area. Do you have permission from the royal family?"

"Is this okay?"

Then, Testarossa slowly took out a necklace with a ruby ​​hanging from her neck.

"So it's Princess Angelise!" [Rambo]'s voice became unusually respectful, even showing a hint of trembling, almost human-like. "Lady Testarossa, is creating a passage for you into the Royal Quarter..."

Testarossa didn't show any extra emotion at this moment, but...

—Angie, oh Angel, how many things are you still hiding from me?

—Did you choose me from among the masses just because I am also [Testalosa]?
—That, the [Testalosa] you truly know…

Suddenly, an interesting question came to Testarosa's mind.

If it were the Lord of the Holy Land... Manager Luo, which area would he enter?
Soon, Testarossa dismissed the strange thought in her mind—since he was the master of the Holy Land, even if he didn't have any noble status from the empire, where in this void could he not enter?
