"Alright, is there anything else I need to demonstrate?"

Zicomo shook his head and said, "No need, uncle. Thank you very much for your demonstration. Let's go back."

Zicomo used the same trick again, Apparating back to Li Xuanjian's house.

After sitting down on Li Xuanjian's sofa, Zicomo asked, "By the way, Uncle, could you take me with you when you go back next summer?"

"Huh? Why did I bring you along?"

"I want to go back and see the beautiful landscapes of our motherland, and also visit the uncle's sect."

Li Xuanjian thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Bringing an extra person along wouldn't be a big deal for him, especially since Zicomo is a genius and befriending him wouldn't do him any harm.

Of course, this is also because Zicomo is his compatriot.

If it were those foreign wizards, do you think Li Xuanjian would even acknowledge them?

“Okay, let’s keep in touch. I’ll let you know my return date when the person I’m handing over to arrives,” Li Xuanjian said.

"Thank you very much, sir. It's getting late, so we'll be going now. I'll have my owl contact you when we get back. Oh, and here's a small thank you gift."

Zicomo waved his hand and took out a fruit basket, placing it on Li Xuanjian's table.

It's not some rare fruit, but it's hard to find in England; he grew these himself in his "Zen Garden."

Zicomo then Apparated away with Lani.

After Zicomo left, it took Li Xuanjian a long time to finally blurt out, "Holy crap! A mustard seed can contain Mount Sumeru!"

This thing is very common in the Eastern cultivation world; the weapon-refining elders of their sects can make it.

When he was sent to another post, his mentor also gave him one.

The problem is, Zicomo is clearly a foreign wizard!

Given the xenophobic nature of those cultivators in the country, how did this thing end up in Zikomo's hands?

Could it be that Zikomo is actually a child of some sect who was lost to the outside world?

Considering this possibility, Li Xuanjian decided that when he contacted Zicomo in the future, he would inquire about Zicomo's family situation.

Chapter 123 The Lightning of Gransanx, Hermione Turns into a Woodpecker

As for Zicomo, he didn't expect that just taking Lani out for a stroll would not only lead to encountering people from the Eastern cultivation world, but also to learning about the situation in the Eastern cultivation world.

When he got home, he hugged Lani and kissed her on the cheek.

"My little princess is truly my lucky star! I never expected to receive so much good news from just one trip with you."

After saying that, Zicomo hummed a song and walked into the kitchen, leaving Lani standing there with her face flushed.

That evening, Zicomo personally cooked a large meal, consisting of more than a dozen dishes.

Seeing Zicomo happily cooking, Hermione thought it was some special day, but when she asked, she found out that it was just that Lani wanted to eat.

This made her even more envious and jealous; even her cousin didn't spoil her like that.

It can only be said that the little witch is too naive. If she doesn't fight for it herself, how can she expect to get anything out of it?

Dinner passed by amidst Hermione's envious gaze.

Zicomo returned to the border in high spirits.

After leaving the blessed room, Zicomo looked around and finally decided to take away the huge corpse of Gulansanx first.

It's a real waste to have such a huge dragon corpse here.

He took out his flying broom, mounted it with some disdain, and flew towards Gulanshenx.

There was no way around it; ever since he witnessed Li Xuanjian's sword flight, he had grown increasingly disdainful of flying brooms.

Only when he stood before Gransanx did Zicomo truly realize just how enormous this ancient dragon was.

Even a single scale on its wing is several times larger than the largest shield among all the equipment he has collected.

Zicomo reached out and touched the dragon corpse in front of him, then stored it in his system space with a thought.

Without the support of the dragon corpse, the already dilapidated buildings beneath it collapsed completely, causing a small tremor in the royal city.

On the platform high above the royal city, where the throne of Rodel was placed, Mongot noticed the commotion.

He arrived at the edge of the platform and immediately saw that the enormous dragon corpse, which should have covered half of the royal city, had disappeared.

Upon closer inspection, the hateful faded one was riding a strange broom and slowly flying towards Gransanx's lightning spear.

Looking down at the collapsed royal city buildings, Mongot secretly vowed that if this Faded One could come to the throne, he would make him pay a terrible price.

Mongot did not intend to take action personally at this time. Although most of the forces in the royal city had left, there were still some combat personnel.

Moreover, his ominous troops are still guarding the mad fire in the sewers, and if Zikomo accidentally wanders in, Montgomery wouldn't mind making that his final resting place.

Little did they know that the villains would constantly send minions to give the protagonist experience points, until the protagonist leveled up to the same level as the villains, and then the villains would die from their own carelessness.

Of course, Zicomo had already reached the maximum level, and even exceeded the original level cap.

He's simply enjoying the exploration and satisfying his collecting hobby.

The scene shifts back to Zikomo. After collecting the dragon corpse of Gransanx, Zikomo sets his sights on the giant spear stuck in the inner city.

That was Gulansanks' weapon; the shaft of the spear was wrapped with two golden, lightning-shaped metal strands.

Zicomo reached out and touched the enormous spear, infusing it with his own magic.

The spear sensed a power that was not its master and began to vibrate violently in an attempt to resist.

"Hmph, your previous master has been dead for who knows how many years. You think a weapon can defy me?"

Zicomoga unleashed his magical power, directly suppressing the spear with immense force.

The spear gave up resisting, shrinking from its original enormous size, which was adapted to Gransanx, to a size that an ordinary person could hold, and lay quietly in Zikomo's hand.

Zicomo tried to draw out the power of the spear, and the spear emitted red lightning all over its body, but it did not harm Zicomo's hand that was holding the spear.

Red lightning engulfed the spear, and red light illuminated Zicomo's figure, making him appear for a moment like a god who controlled lightning.

Zicomo flung the lightning from his spear, blasting a hole four meters in diameter in the wall.

Zicomo now understood how Gransanx had used red lightning to breach the royal city, based on the information he had previously gathered.

He caused such great damage with just a casual strike. Considering the enormous size of that spear in Gulansanks' hands, the royal city walls would probably be riddled with holes with a single spear thrust.

This shows how powerful the royal city was back then, capable of even defeating the ancient dragon clan.

Unlike now, where there are only a few ugly and incompetent royal guards left.

After carefully storing the lightning spear, Zikomo continued his exploration of the royal city.

During this time, he discovered a group of interesting beings.

They were a group of guys who had wrapped themselves up like snowmen, and they were holding a flute that they could blow out bubbles that slowly tracked their enemies.

Michaela, who had been silent for a long time, told him that this was an oracle oracles who should have lived in the sacred tree.

After cutting down several, Zicomo discovered that the blood of these oracles was white, which reminded him of the second-generation Platinum Sons in the Lake Lienia region.

Those creatures with round frog heads are artificial creations, not blessed by the Golden Tree.

Considering that the Sacred Tree shelters beings of this type, it's not surprising that these divine messengers come from the Sacred Tree.

As for why these oracles appeared in the royal city at the foot of the golden tree, Zicomo guessed that it was mostly related to Michaela.

When Michaela disappeared, Malenia sensed that Michaela was in Galid, so she wanted to go south to find Michaela, which would inevitably take her through the royal city.

Therefore, Malenia sent an oracle to negotiate with the royal city, hoping to persuade her to lead her army south.

Montgomery naturally agreed to Marlenia's request; he was more than happy that these gods and demigods would beat the dog's brains out.

In that brutal war, Malenia blossomed into a scarlet, corrupt flower, which was then carried back to the sacred tree by her remaining forces.

These divine messengers were thus forgotten here, perhaps having been incorporated into the guards of the royal city by Mongot.

Zicomo killed them and took their flutes from them.

With the help of the system, Zicomo saw an introduction to the flute.

'The flutes carried by the oracle's messengers are extremely heavy, capable of unleashing devastating blows. They were originally musical instruments, but humans cannot play them; perhaps the time is not yet ripe.'

Zicomo curiously picked up the flute and blew on it. The flute made a sound, and several bubble balls emerged from the top of the flute and flew towards a nearby royal soldier.

The soldier noticed someone was attacking him, brandished his longsword and charged forward, only to be killed by Zicomo with a single blow from his flute.

Zicomo stared at the flute in his hand, lost in thought.

Is he able to play the flute because he is not human, or is it because the so-called "time" has come?

Finally, Zicomo, too lazy to dwell on the matter, casually tossed the flute into the system space, left the boundary area, and returned to reality to rest.

…………

The next day, in the Zen Garden, Zicomo was trying to engrave runes on Hermione's wand.

Yesterday, the little witch's envy of Zicomo was obvious to her. As compensation, Zicomo told Hermione that he could engrave runes and offered to engrave a set for her.

In fact, even if Zicomo hadn't said anything, Hermione would have already noticed something. The clever little witch had already seen the clues from the duel between Snape and Lockhart.
