Chapter 1475: Chapter 1476: Seeing Through the Blueprint

While Agunas and a group of professors were studying the blueprints, Feng Yuan took Xiao Ji and the others to explore the park, occasionally snapping some photos for memories. Placing a flaming fruit on Xiao Ji’s head, Feng Yuan looked at Xiao Ji, whose head was alight, and said,

“This look is pretty cool~ Too bad it can’t set its whole body on fire.”

“Aren’t you afraid you might hurt it doing that?”

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan speechlessly, thinking how reckless he was. Xiao Ji spread its wings, trying to cover its body with the flames using its own power, but it was unsuccessful. After all, although the fruit emitted continuous flames, its size was much smaller than Xiao Ji’s body and couldn’t provide sufficient fire.

Dou Yanlan glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

“Are you trying to dress it up as a Firebird?”

“It’s more like a phoenix or a vermilion bird, but it doesn’t seem to be working yet.”

Holding a translucent dark blue fruit, Feng Yuan looked at the glowing blue butterflies flying around him and said that this place was not just decorated like a Fairy Tale Forest. There were also many interesting gadgets, like the flame fruit on Xiao Ji’s head and the blue charm fruit in Feng Yuan’s hand, attracting the glowing blue butterflies, provided for tourists to take photos with.

“Speaking of which, aren’t you two going to enjoy some couple’s time? The environment here is nice, perfect for some quiet couple’s talk~”

With a quirky smile, Feng Yuan said to Qi Chen, who helplessly looked at him and said,

“What nonsense are you talking about? There are so many people here. How could there be a chance for secretive whispers?”

Though only those participating in the racing event could enter, along with the staff, the place was essentially at capacity. After all, this park wasn’t particularly large, and everyone was walking amongst the trees with their Spirit Beasts, making it hard to find a quiet spot.

“Luckily, the White Wolf Deity only appeared briefly before leaving; otherwise, there’d be even more people here.”

Looking at Yang Hongzhi taking photos with Xiao Hui and Xiao Hei not far away, Qi Chen said helplessly. This guy’s sudden summoning of the White Wolf Deity had startled everyone, as a Divine Beast making an appearance, even in modern times, is astonishing.

Glancing at Qi Chen, Feng Yuan said in irritation,

“I’m just doing it so Xiao Hui can walk around with him. Xiao Hui’s size is really getting bigger and bigger. You should seize the opportunity and spend more time with Ah Mu; I can’t always get the White Wolf Deity to help.”

Ah Mu, following behind Qi Chen, gently swayed, the tree crown rustling. Qi Chen was silent for a moment and said,

“You’re right.”

Ah Mu’s evolutionary form would only grow larger, and even if it learned to alter its size, the transformation had its limits. No matter how it changed, it would always be within a range, and with a size too large, it would be impossible for it to accompany him into the city, like Xiao Hui.

Cotton meowed while being hugged by Dou Yanlan, its tail wagging gently to comfort Qi Chen. Long Boduo asked in confusion,

“Why do you humans not allow large-sized Spirit Beasts to appear on city roads and parks? After all, most Spirit Beasts don’t get much smaller upon reaching a certain level.”

Although many Spirit Beasts, even evolving to Legendary or Legendary levels, wouldn’t be significantly larger than an adult, many others are different; typical examples include pigs, trees, and turtles. These Spirit Beasts don’t need to reach Legendary level to boast an enormous body, and most can carry people.

“Well, allowing large-sized Spirit Beasts in the city would make many things troublesome. Doors would need to be modified, roads widened, and even housing spaces altered. It’s too complicated with numerous issues, so it’s better to just prohibit them.”

Shrugging, Feng Yuan said he could understand the Alliance’s regulation. After all, large-sized Spirit Beasts take up too much space, though weight is less of a concern due to the various means like Levitation Force that can completely eliminate weight issues.

After wandering this secretive park for a while, Feng Yuan and the others finally left, passing through the interiors of an ancient castle on their way out. Looking at the surrounding walls, Feng Yuan remembered something and asked Veronia,

“How’s Agunas’s research going over there? Have they found the Shadow Tiraya City?”

“It’s still under investigation. There seems to be an issue with those blueprints, and it hasn’t figured out what exactly is going on.”

“Blueprints?”

Feng Yuan was momentarily stunned; they had already found the blueprints for Shadow Tiraya City’s structure? Blueprints shouldn’t be hard to understand, right?

“Yes, they’re currently reviewing the blueprints at the City Hall. Why don’t we go check it out?”

With a thought, Veronia suggested, although Agunas hadn’t figured things out, it didn’t mean Feng Yuan couldn’t. Only because Feng Yuan and the others were having fun in Tiraya City did Agunas not seek him out.

“Then let’s take a look; there aren’t any particularly attractive activities after the speed racing event, so investigating Shadow Tiraya City sounds good.”

Looking at Qi Chen and the others, Feng Yuan said. Seeing them looking at him, Qi Chen smiled and said,

“We don’t have any special plans, we’ll join you.”

With the help of the City Hall staff, Feng Yuan and the others quickly arrived at the City Hall. Walking into the archive room, Feng Yuan saw the scattered blueprints on the ground and asked in confusion,

“What’s going on? Why are these things laid out on the ground?”

“I wanted to see what this combined magic formation really is.”

Seeing Feng Yuan enter, Agunas explained their research results and, after hearing Agunas’s explanation, Feng Yuan scrutinized the blueprints on the ground and said,

“I see. This should be a Compound Formation, or rather, there are two layers, but this thing…”

Though he had a hunch, Feng Yuan decided to take a closer look. But after reviewing the blueprints, he placed a hand on Xiao Ji’s head and said,

“I see, this thing is peculiar. Do you remember the ruins we discovered at the volcano crater?”

“The volcano crater? You mean…”

Looking at Feng Yuan in confusion, Agunas suddenly realized something, his eyes getting brighter and brighter, and Veronia exclaimed in surprise at Feng Yuan,

“Is this thing also a fragmented ruin?”

“It’s not ruins; it should still be fully operational. However, the thing is divided into several layers; the functional area you use is the camouflage provided by the formation. The deactivation point for the first layer is here.”

Comparing with the blueprints, Feng Yuan took out a tourist map and pointed at a spot, saying. Looking at the place Feng Yuan pointed to, Belusir said in surprise,

“The endpoint?”

“It’s that garden. I’m not clear about the specifics, but I am certain it hasn’t been destroyed. According to the formation, the second layer hasn’t been activated.”

“However, I must remind you, this formation is akin to a city’s defense system, a comprehensive formation. Although I suspect it can be deactivated in a maintenance mode for the first layer, I can’t guarantee there won’t be sizable disturbances.”

Looking at the City Hall staff, Feng Yuan said seriously. He had already figured out that this formation was clearly designed to counter Tiraya City’s breach, which is why the deactivation point of the first layer would be at the safest part of Tiraya City. Although he discovered a maintenance mode approach to deactivate the first layer,

Feng Yuan couldn’t be sure that over the years, this deactivation method would continue to function smoothly like before.

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, one of the peace officers asked Feng Yuan,

“If an accident occurs, what’s the worst that could happen?”

“The entire Tiraya City would be sealed by a magic formation, but that’s about it. This thing wasn’t designed for a catastrophic event and isn’t particularly lethal.”

Shrugging, Feng Yuan said, he understood the function of the thing—to transform Tiraya City into a turtle shell. Such a magic formation naturally didn’t possess much lethality, but on the other hand, once it confines people, its power would be quite strong. However, he wasn’t bothered by this, since it couldn’t possibly trap a Divine Beast.

“We need to discuss this.”

After a moment of silence, the peace officer said to Feng Yuan. There’s no choice; it’s the Flower Festival period right now, and if a big commotion erupts, they must consider how to handle the aftermath.
