Chapter 285: Chapter 60 Sibling Night Talk

Half a Magic Time later, a listless Element Young Dragon floated out from the released Barrier, hiding behind Fiona.

After a series of checks, it felt somewhat soft and weak, everything seemed tasteless and uninteresting.

The high-density penetrative scanning had completely recorded its body structure as valuable extraterrestrial biological reference material for backup.

If Anvis wanted, he could even restore a silicon… specimen identical to its body structure.

The little kitty Kate was in a better condition; Anvis didn’t do much to it, just a simple health check to confirm its current health status.

“It’s done, Fei, the initial checkup has been completed. Remember, from now on, bring it in for a checkup every seven days.

This is for the sake of its life; it’s not a native creature. It might not notice some body changes, like spatial association, life synchronization frequency, etc., which we must detect to rule out health risks.”

After backing up the data, Anvis started to bamboozle Fiona with utmost seriousness, interspersing his speech with jargon that sounded very high-end, making the girl somewhat dizzy.

“I got it, brother… So, I just come every seven days, right?”

Nodding in a daze, Fiona turned around to comfort the Young Dragon, which was a bit ruffled upon learning it had to come back every seven days.

For a moment, the Young Dragon’s transparent tail that had been swinging back and forth suddenly tensed up, and then drooped down, no longer resisting.

“Did you say something to it, Fei?”

Anvis looked at Fiona with a bit of curiosity.

“Um, Feiya is not very obedient and doesn’t seem to want to come back.”

The girl blinked her lake-blue eyes and explained to Anvis with gestures.

“But, when I told her ‘If you don’t behave, I’ll have to send you back here again,’ she then obediently complied.”

“I see…”

Anvis looked at the little dragon, which was fearfully peeking at him, somewhat helplessly.

“But, brother, is this really okay for Feiya? She seems to be feeling a bit uncomfortable.”

Stroking the Vortex Young Dragon, which felt somewhat like a gentle force field, Fiona sensed its emotions and looked at Anvis with some confusion.

“Don’t worry, Fei, it’s just that in the beginning, right after hatching, we need to check it every seven days to ensure its survival,” Anvis explained.

“Once it grows to be one year old, we can extend it to a checkup each month. As it grows further, it will only need to be brought in for a checkup after each stage of advancement.”

After all, it’s unnecessary to record too much repetitive data; it’s only necessary to record it again after significant changes occur.

……

By the time the two left Anvis’ Magic Laboratory, the sun had completely set below the horizon.

But the last rays of sunlight seemed unwilling to completely fade away, struggling to paint a faint red glow on the edge of the sky, like the color of the embers that had not fully extinguished in a fireplace.

And in the dark blue sky above their heads, which resembled high-quality blue velvet, curiously devoid of clouds, one could clearly see the contours of the twin Purple Moons and the stars that were already beginning to twinkle.

The vast and infinitely distant Starry Sky always arouses a deep sense of awe and longing hidden in the human heart.

“Fei, since I left the castle last year, it’s been a long time since we’ve watched the stars together like this, hasn’t it?”

Lying on a sun lounger on the third-floor terrace, Anvis, his deep blue eyes tranquilly gazing at the southeastern night sky, spoke softly.

“Indeed, ever since you left, brother, no one in the castle has been looking for me to play. And I’ve had nobody to help me with my lessons every day; I always get forced by father to read those boring all-text books!”

On another sun lounger beside him, Fiona, in her academy uniform, hugged Kate while also gazing up at the twinkling stars.

Her brilliant golden hair flowed beside her, and her pale skin seemed translucent under the moonlight; her youthful and delicate face was radiant with a hazy glow, appearing enchanting and attractive.

Hearing Anvis mention this, the girl immediately nodded eagerly like a pecking chick. Her watery large eyes looked somewhat reproachfully at Anvis, as if coquettishly complaining.

“Haha, that’s something unavoidable, dear Fei, ‘Between pears and apples, one must choose.’ If you don’t want to be punished by father, then study magic diligently.”

Anvis couldn’t help but let out a soft chuckle and casually dropped an Empire slang phrase.

“But that’s really boring! Bro, you know I don’t have your skills!”

Fiona complained in a low voice, while petting the soft, bluish-grey fur of Kate, making the latter shake her ears involuntarily.

“By the way, bro, can you tell me a new story?”

Saying so, the girl suddenly thought of something and turned her head to look at Anvis with excitement.

“A story, eh…”

Anvis’s eyes were unfocused, as if they had flown off to the brightest star in the endless starry sky above.

“Fei, do you know about the Land Bird?”

“I know! Those big clumsy birds with brownish feathers that can run fast but cannot fly–”

Fiona nodded. The Land Bird is a very common low-rank mount, even she knew that.

“Yes, Fei. And the story I’m about to tell is about the Land Bird.”

Resting his head lightly on his arm, Anvis gazed up at the starry sky and began his story, amidst the fresh and cool night breeze.

“Did you know? The wild Land Birds, they actually have a special habit.

Living in the desert, when they face unstoppable crises and natural predators, they perform a strange action: they bury their heads in the sand.”

This way, they can’t see the imminent danger and enemies, as if they have disappeared.

Until the very last moment of their lives, they immerse themselves in this false sense of security.”

Looking at the starry sky, Anvis continued the story, but couldn’t help thinking of his recent meeting with Prince White.

Thinking about the upcoming situation after tonight and those decayed, stubborn old Nobles, he suddenly felt a bit ridiculous.

“But now, there are such people.

They see the Land Birds burying their heads in the sand when meeting natural predators and laugh at them loudly, mocking them as stupid.”

“Regardless of the truth, those who pride themselves on their intelligence, when they face life’s pressing troubles, pretend not to know, even deliberately avoid it.

Even though they are well aware that turning a blind eye can’t solve any problems, they are still addicted to it until disaster is upon them.

You tell me, what is the difference between people who behave like this and the foolish Land Birds they laugh at?”

“Eh? That…”

Listening to Anvis’s sudden question, Fiona tilted her head, her lake-blue eyes blinking in bewilderment.

After thinking for a while, the girl didn’t know how to respond to Anvis and cast a pleading glance at Kate.

“Meow…”

The latter meowed innocently at her.

“Sorry, Fei, I was a bit distracted just now…”

Realizing what he had said, Anvis finally reacted and gave Fiona an apologetic smile.

“Actually, Fei, do you want to know why I wanted you to stay tonight?”

Facing the girl’s inquisitive gaze, Anvis smiled and signaled her to look up.

“See that? Below and to the right of Amis, it’s coming–”

The next moment, under the gaze of the girl and the cat, on one side of Purple Moon Amis in the southwestern sky.

A dim silver star suddenly appeared in the originally pitch-black night!
