PNB Chapter 119 Asking for help
Chapter 119 Asking for help
After leaving Kavi's house, Mu Feng's optimistic expression vanished instantly, replaced by deep worry.
Mercenaries were stationed at the gates of Sumeru City, so it was impossible for a lone child to get permission to leave the city.
Even if he managed to leave the main city of Sumeru through improper means, without suitable transportation, he would not be able to reach Kawan Post Station before dawn.
If rescuing Kavi's father by himself is not feasible, it seems that seeking help from others is the only option left.
But who can I turn to for help?
Mu Feng tried his best to recall who might be able to provide assistance from Sumeru City at that moment.
The target of the appeal must be someone with a trustworthy sense of justice, and also someone that Hazard is unable to eliminate.
Soon, as he thought rapidly, a person's face vaguely appeared in his mind.
Taj Radcani, the disciplinary officer of the Faculty.
Although he is Seno's partner, Taj has far more seniority than Seno. In fact, the two have a more mentor-mentee relationship.
On ordinary days, his unreliable father would often tell him about the disciplinary officer's glorious deeds of destroying criminal dens and stopping dangerous experiments.
However, new problems have also arisen.
How can he gain the trust of this impartial and incorruptible disciplinary official?
While his uprightness and incorruptibility are the most prominent qualities of Tajer as a disciplinary officer, they also demonstrate his absolute adherence to the rules.
Without solid evidence, trying to persuade him to assist in the investigation of the entire case, or even involve the Sage of the Order of the Church, based solely on one's own words, is undoubtedly a pipe dream.
Are we just going to give up like this?
The light of Sumeru City dimmed inch by inch, the light shining through the windows gradually went out, and the canopy of the giant trees, draped in the long blanket of night, fell asleep.
Anxiously kicking at the gravel on the road, Mu Feng walked back home along the path he had come from, his heart gradually calming down as the lights shone on him.
The path stretched out, and a lamp cast a soft glow at the end of the cobblestone path.
Adventurers Guild.
Even late at night, Miss Catherine still sat at the counter with her standard smile, seemingly waiting for adventurers returning late at night to deliver their commissions.
Wait... there might be another way.
A flash of inspiration cut through Mu Feng's tangled thoughts, and a glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in his eyes. He quickened his pace and ran towards home.
Hopefully this method will work.
……
Quietly climbing over the wall back to his room, Mu Feng gently pushed open his parents' door. After confirming that his parents were asleep, he quietly closed the door.
Legend has it that on every ordinary night, a gentle voice quietly enters the dreams of the children of Sumeru, bringing magical stories and explaining wondrous metaphors.
The children, now awake, gathered in a circle to discuss the source of the sound. They ruled out countless possibilities and came up with brilliant guesses, but ultimately reached a consensus.
Even if no parents believe it, this friend in their dreams can only be the gentle deity in their hearts, the Little Lucky Grass King.
And now, this is the only remaining option.
Sitting on his small bed, Mu Feng closed his eyes, tightly gripping the glittering Eye of the Grass God in his hands, and silently began to chant the name of Naxida in his heart.
O benevolent and wise Lord of Great Goodness and Auspicious Wisdom, now that the people of Mount Sumeru are in danger, I sincerely request your help.
If you can hear me, please respond to my prayer.
Mu Feng's prayers continued again and again, the blinds woven from leaves swaying in the night wind, making a soft rustling sound, like a low hymn.
However, the shadows of the trees outside the window swayed, and the surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of fireflies flapping their wings could be heard.
"Tick, tick."
Time ticked by on the clock face, and Mu Feng's hopes sank lower and lower. Beads of sweat dripped from his forehead and pattered against the wooden railing of the bed.
Still not working...?
Just as Mu Feng was about to give up on this method and try to go out of the city alone to catch up, a hazy drowsiness suddenly came over him, making him slow down his movements as he got up.
However, this sudden wave of drowsiness invigorated Mu Feng.
"Don't resist."
A sweet and gentle voice, carried by the night breeze blowing through the blinds, suddenly rang out in the empty room, as if possessing a reassuring magic.
It's Nashida.
Mu Feng let out a long sigh of relief. He closed his eyes again, obediently letting sleep gently carry his consciousness into a deep dream.
The next moment, Mu Feng opened his eyes in his dream.
The milky white space seemed boundless, its blurred edges stretching endlessly into the distance, as if one could never fathom its end even in a lifetime.
Is this a dream?
Upon arriving in the dream world for the first time, Mu Feng sat up and looked through his hazy vision toward the direction from which the sound came from.
In the center of the dream, a petite girl sits quietly on a grass-green swing, gently swaying her legs, which are covered in white footed socks.
The girl's white side ponytail was accented with a touch of light green, paired with a bright green leaf hair accessory, exuding liveliness and vitality.
Grass-green tassels swayed behind her gold-trimmed hem, the pure white background highlighting the intricate patterns and decorations that outlined the dome of the Maya Palace.
The deity of Mount Sumeru, the Little Auspicious Grass King, Naxi Da.
"Nice to meet you, my name is Naxi Da'o."
"Hmm...something doesn't seem right. Actually, I've been observing you for quite a while now..."
Nasita jumped off the swing made of grass elements, her delicate four-leaf clover eyes blinked playfully, and she touched her chin with her fair fingers, quickly correcting her wording.
She seemed very happy when we met in the dream.
Hello, Naxida.
Mu Feng rubbed his eyes, which were still not fully adjusted to the bizarre dreamscape, and confidently waved to the direction where Naxida was facing away.
"It's this way."
Naxida smiled sweetly and walked up to Mufeng, waving gently.
"This is your dream world. Mu Feng, you can try to imagine a dream environment that suits you better."
Embarrassed by the blunder, Mu Feng turned away, trying to avoid Narcissus's smiling eyes and pretending to be engrossed in imagining the familiar surroundings.
Fortunately, the one in front of him was the gentle and lovely little grass god. If it had been that scoundrel fox, Yae no Miko, he probably would have laughed at him for five hundred years.
The next moment, Mu Feng and Nasida sat down at a small table in "Puspa Cafe", on which was placed a small pile of Nasida's favorite date and honey candy.
