Chapter 518: The Light of Dawn Triste
As the wooden woman heard that, she was glad: “Since you have yet to be worn, you will have the honor of being added to my wardrobe, and not my collection”
“We are honored to serve you, milady” the bikini and wings both said.
Gu Qing Shan’s expression remained unmoved while he silently sighed from relief.
“Boy, how was it, were we convincing enough?” the bikini silently sent its voice asking.
“Very convincing” Gu Qing Shan sent his voice to reply.
The pink wings also sent its voice: “Perhaps you do not know this esteemed lady, but being able to become her clothing is an honor many of us would die for. That’s why we’re grateful to you and don’t want anything bad to happen to you”
“Then we are even, thank you very much” Gu Qing Shan spoke.
It was now that the wooden woman smiled at Gu Qing Shan, saying: “Normally, I wouldn’t accept gifts from others like this, but your gifts really do fit me very well…”
“Please accept them” Gu Qing Shan spoke.
The wooden woman nodded, waved her hands and stored the two fas.h.i.+on collector’s items away.
——-she received Gu Qing Shan’s gifts without hesitation.
“Boy of the Iron Fist Club, you really are considerate, even your gifts are so precious that my mood has greatly improved”
“It is my honor”
“Tell me what you want, if it’s within my abilities, I will consider it”
“I was too late for the call of the Bramble Birds, but I have to go”
“So it’s about that… the relation between the Light of Dawn Triste and I are quite decent, right now, she must be at the Bramble Bird little princess’ coming of age banquet——- the banquet should last for 3 days and nights”
The wooden woman stood up.
“Let’s go” she said, “come with me to the banquet, I’ll ask her to let you in”
Gu Qing Shan was ecstatic, clasping his fist: “I’m very grateful”
“What about me?” the big rooster hesitantly asked.
“Do you want to stay here in my room or something? Come with me to the banquet as well” the wooden woman glanced at him.
“It will be my honor!” the big rooster was also excited.
He silently gave Gu Qing Shan a thumbs up.
He didn’t think he would be able to close their distance through helping someone else, what an unimaginable harvest.
Aboul Hotel.
The entire hotel was immersed in an elegant and graceful tune.
The guests were all dressed formally, either bowing or curtsying to greet one another, speaking with a low tone of voice and walking with light steps.
The Bramble Birds are aristocrats of the Mystic Zones who were very keen on their etiquette and required strict manners for everything.
A variety of exquisite cuisines were presented in delicate trays, kept frozen in a ma.s.s of colorful mist.
This was the Temporal Fog from the Mystic Zones, an exceptional item for preserving food.
Only when you put the food in your mouth will the fog disperse, releasing their original taste on your tongue.
This ensured that every food would always be kept at their most ideal conditions throughout the entire long banquet.
While walking, the big rooster tilted his head, whispering to Gu Qing Shan: “I really can’t stand this kind of acting from the Bramble Birds”
“What kind of acting?” Gu Qing Shan asked, confused.
“Look over there, a 12-layer cake, and over there, that gray bag is called the Infinite sweets bag, every table of every banquet, all sorts of exquisite cuisines are present—— but the Bramble Birds have never taken a single bite”
“They’re the hosts after all, maybe they’ve already eaten?”
“They haven’t, they consider eating anything during a solemn occasion to be a rude behavior”
“Then these foods here are…”
“For the guests”
“What’s wrong with that?”
The big rooster bulged his eyes out: “Nothing. But whenever they see a guest eating, they would always show a prideful smile, as if the other party was committing some sort of grave mistake in public, while they were gracious enough to forgive that rude behavior——- isn’t that kind of acting nauseating?”
“Lower your voice” the wooden woman turned around to glare at him.
The big rooster went quiet.
The wooden woman brought Gu Qing Shan and the big rooster through the large banquet hall, the small banquet hall, the ballroom and finally reached the innermost green room.
Two Bramble Bird royal guards stood at the door with cold expressions.
Seeing the three of them, the two guards greeted: “Our apologies, this is the royal resting room, please——-”
The wooden woman showed an invitation held between her fingers.
Seeing this invitation, the two guards quickly took a step back and turned sideways to greet her: “Heart of Thousand Woods, Spirit of the Holy Tree, welcome”
“Who’s inside now?”
“Triste”
“Only her?”
“There are also some other esteemed guests”
The wooden woman was surprised: “Hm? The other members of the Bramble royalty aren’t here? Where are they?”
The two guards seem troubled.
They exchanged glances.
“Alright, I can’t be bothered to ask about your internal matters, I’m looking for Triste” the wooden woman waved her hand dismissively and spoke.
The guards sighed of relief and stood back to make way for her.
The wooden woman brought Gu Qing Shan and the big rooster inside.
While they were walking down the long hallway, they could already hear intermittent chatter coming from the room ahead.
Since this was such a closely guarded place, those who could enter all knew each other very well, so they didn’t worry too much about others listening in.
“What? You still haven’t found it?”
“How, with so many people dispatched, why haven’t you found it?”
“I don’t think anything will happen?”
“Really now? Then where did it go?”
Gu Qing Shan could hear the stifled chatter.
The air was filled with a sense of dread.
But when they went through the door and officially stood in front of Triste, all the chatter had gone away.
Everyone was adhering closely to the most basic etiquette.
The Light of Dawn Triste was an amiable woman.
Her figure was tall and slender, she had emerald green eyes and brown flowing long hair.
She was currently discussing something with a few aristocratic young ladies.
“Triste, I’m here” the wooden woman said.
“Ah? I remember you’ve always hated banquets, what gave me this honor today?”
Triste smiled, greeting the wooden woman as well as Gu Qing Shan and the big rooster.
“There’s a small favor I need to ask of you”
“How rare for there to be something you need to ask of others”
“It’s related to you”
After some small talk, they sat down.
The wooden woman explained everything.
Triste looked at Gu Qing Shan, asking: “Is that true? You were locked up? That’s why you didn’t answer my call?”
“Indeed, this was an accident. In truth, I would be more than honored to serve you” Gu Qing Shan sincerely said.
“Since she had asked this of me, it would be rude for me not to give you this honor”
Saying so, Triste took out a round token, throwing it to Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan received the token.
It was a silver medal with Triste depicted in the middle, smiling at Gu Qing Shan.
“Having this medal means that you’ve answered my call” Triste gently told him, “furthermore, inside the medal there is already a prize almost equal to first place”
Gu Qing Shan held the medal with both hands, saying: “Thank you for your generosity, but truthfully, I’d rather be granted entry to your world”
“Why is that?” Triste asked.
“Because a friend of mine had entered and I’m worried for her safety”
“There is no need to worry about that” Triste softly smiled again: “I have already set up a Law that disallows death, anyone who received even a small wound instantly be warped out”
She was looking straight at Gu Qing Shan, her emerald green eyes were clear, giving off an impression of staring deep into an abyss as she looked at him.
Hearing Triste, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but nod.
The wooden woman also commented: “Boy, with such a strict protection Law, you can be a.s.sured”
Gu Qing Shan arranged his words briefly, wanting to say something else.
Triste continued: “My collection world had already entered a sealed state, so even I would have to spend a great amount of effort to open it again. I believe it would be more preferable for you to wait here. I believe everything will have ended perfectly in half a day, and your friend would also leave”
“At that time, tell me her name and I will directly transport her to you”
After Triste said so much, Gu Qing Shan had nothing left to say.
She gave him the medal, the rewards almost equivalent to that of first place, guarantees that Su Xue Er will be safe and even offered to help transport her directly here.
Even a shameless person wouldn’t be able to ask for more than this.
Furthermore, if even a flesh wound was not allowed in Triste’s collection world, then Su Xue Er would definitely return safely.
And then, a few words were scrolling past the War G.o.d UI.
Even without checking, Gu Qing Shan knows that his Quest had been completed.
The System considers the medal to be the requirements for completing the Quest.
In order words, he had already answered the call of the Bramble Birds and was about to receive a new War G.o.d function.
Gu Qing Shan only thought about in a breath’s time.
Everything seems to be going swimmingly.
He then stood up, clasping his hand to Triste: “Thank you very much”
“There is no need. Since this lady herself had shown up for you, I could not afford to be any less serious” Triste smiled and told him.
She then grabbed the wooden woman’s hand and said: “Come with me for a bit, there’s something I need your help with”
“What happened?” the wooden woman asked.
“A very headache-inducing matter”
The wooden woman then stood up, following Triste outside.
She then remembered something and turned to the big rooster: “You come as well, if something happens, you might be able to help”
“Very well”
The big rooster followed suit.
The wooden woman looked at Gu Qing Shan: “You stay here, once everything is over, we’ll return together”
“Yes”
Gu Qing Shan replied.
The wooden woman and Triste left side by side.
The big rooster followed behind them, but turned back to blink at Gu Qing Shan, gesturing his congratulations for Gu Qing Shan’s matter being dealt with nicely.
Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but smile, raising a thumbs up to the big rooster.
“Thank you, Mr. Chicken, you’ve really helped me a lot this time. I will definitely treat you to a meal next time we get a chance” he sent his voice over.
Hearing that, the big rooster looked up with satisfaction.
“Don’t you forget it, see you later” he also sent his voice.
The big rooster came with the two ladies and left the room.
At this point, the only people left in the room were Gu Qing Shan and the aristocratic young ladies.
