Magical Girl's Knight Brother

Chapter 605 Changes in Black City

The transport of the Star God's body was carried out in secret. Tang Zijun did not tell Tang Cao and Su Siyao, but instead sent them to the car. Only Katie and the [attendants] she summoned were carrying out the transport.

Tang Zijun wasn't worried that Katie would tell anyone, because she had an iron will and a straightforward mind. As long as it was an order she gave, this girl would carry it out without hesitation, and the same went for the flight attendants.

This saved Tang Zijun a lot of trouble. Although Tang Cao and the others were really curious, their attention was soon drawn to Tanya on the other side.

They initially thought the raggedly dressed girl was a slave or refugee rescued by Tang Zijun; after all, such people weren't uncommon in the current dream world. But when they learned that the unassuming girl before them was actually a deity, they were utterly astonished. Of course.

Their surprise wasn't the kind that Desk showed; it was more out of curiosity about the other person. After all, they had seen gods before, and one of them was even a god's younger sister.

Tanya had lived in the Dream World for a long time before going to the Void Realm. She often spent time with her followers and helped them build their own temples and churches, and gladly accepted their offerings. Therefore, she did not intend to hide her identity.

As someone born and raised in the countryside, and even a human being before becoming a god, she was very used to mingling with other humans and had no airs of a god whatsoever.

When she learned that the people in front of her were also from another world, her curiosity was ignited. The three girls chatted and exchanged information in the carriage, with occasional bursts of silvery laughter.

In the later carriages, in order to accommodate the enormous body of the star goddess Ilúvatar, Katie had to expand the interior space of the carriages, turning a small carriage into one the size of a football field. However, from the outside, the entire train did not appear to have changed at all. This was a small trick that she, as the ruler of the outer world, could pull off.

"Are you really sure?" Scáthach stood beside Tang Zijun. "Handing this over to an uncontrollable AI will also lead to uncontrollable consequences."

"I know what you're worried about, but you can rest assured, I never do anything I'm not sure I can handle," Tang Zijun said in a deep voice. "That's good." Scáthach nodded, then asked, "Do you want me to come with you?"

Tang Zijun remained silent, seemingly lost in thought. After a pause, he slowly exhaled.

"No rush, let's finish dealing with things here first."

The group returned to Black City by steam train.

The Black City hadn't changed much since Tang Zijun left. It seemed that no one here knew that a massive, city-destroying battle had just broken out on the other side, separated by a forest.

Over the next few days, after a brief period of adjustment upon arriving in this new world, everyone gradually got used to the situation and their work returned to normal.

The first batch of Emerald Pigeons arrived, only three in total: two white and one gray. They are said to be racing pigeons that have been released at national events. Hearing that the Bureau of Magic Supervision needed them, their owners immediately sent them over voluntarily.

The advantage of using emerald crystal for experiments is that even if the experiment fails, the pigeon itself will not be in any danger. After the negative energy of the dark crystal is diluted, the power preserved by the emerald crystal is still relatively mild.

Heri, who had been looking forward to it, finally got her wish and had three playmates to talk to. She spent almost every day with the pigeons, and even wanted to sleep in the pigeon coop. In the end, Qin Nan had to forcefully drag her away.

Speaking of Qin Nan, she can be said to be one of the people Heli respects the most right now. The other is Terella, the acting district chief of the Elf Clan. However, her feelings for the two are a little different. If Terella is like a mother, then Qin Nan is like a fashionable aunt.

As the messenger was being nurtured, on the other side, with Tan Zhixin's help, Trova's branch was successfully planted. Tang Zijun even took some time to go there, and amidst the kneeling prayers of the elves, she "activated" the remaining divine power on the sapling for the first time, and completed the first cross-world communication with Trova.

Teresa, acting as the recorder, also harbored a troubled heart as she documented the first exchange between the two gods before her since the disappearance of the God of Nature.

Hello, can you hear me?

Yes, yes, yes, the signal is okay.

Besides that, Tang Cao and the others were not idle. In addition to their daily meditation and cultivation, Tang Cao spent her days with the mercenaries, often going out of the city to eliminate invading polluted creatures, while also honing her magical abilities.

Unlike the magical girls on Earth who can only passively fight back, Tangcao has an endless supply of monsters to kill after arriving in the dream world. Every day she can fight against all kinds of deformed monsters, which greatly reduces the pressure on the mercenaries' city defense.

At first, Tang Cao was only responsible for eliminating the magical beasts and corrupted demi-humans that actively approached Black City, such as kobolds or cavemen. Later, she even led her men to take the initiative, exploring outwards little by little, until they cleared out as far as the edge of the Ghost Mist Forest. If Tang Zijun hadn't repeatedly forbidden Tang Cao from approaching the Ghost Mist Forest, this girl probably would have led the mercenaries in to fight her way in. The mercenaries were quite happy about this; they were always restless, and being able to fight alongside a "witch" was something they never dared to dream of before.

Yes, there are also magical girls in the dream world, but here they are called witches or wizards. This is a power that only extremely talented beings can use. In peacetime, they mostly rely on various nobles or royal families, and ordinary people have no chance to see them in person.

In these day-to-day battles, Tang Cao's combat power also increased rapidly. With the help of Xiao Bai, who was a cultivation cheat, her improvement was truly like riding a rocket.

Xiao Xiao, who came along with them, also made great progress. She had been stuck at the Green level for a long time, and now she was only one step away from the Blue level. And this was only after their progress in just a few days.

As for the one who has improved the most, it is undoubtedly Tan Zhixin. Previously, she lost her transformation ability. Although she repaired the Rainbow Crystal Flower, her magic power also declined to the green level. But now, she has completely returned to the cyan level.

Upon receiving the news, Tang Zijun rushed to congratulate her, only to be "ambushed" by her several times. If it weren't for Gloriand knocking on the door to report, Tang Zijun would have almost lost her temper.

Inside the lord's castle, Tang Zijun sat at a large, exquisite wooden table, reviewing various documents in front of her.

It's called a castle, but it's really just a huge, simply constructed building. Originally, Grelando wanted to have a magnificent castle built, just like the grand residences of other noblemen.

However, Tang Zijun refused. He was more concerned about whether the residents of Black City were cold at night than whether the lord's castle was tall or not.

"The last batch of tents has been taken down, and everyone has moved into the stone houses. Although some haven't had windows installed yet, if the fire in the stove is lit, it's warm enough. This is much better than their previous living conditions," Greland reported, standing not far from Tang Zijun.

Her emotions were running high, and her gaze towards Tang Zijun was incredibly fervent. It was clear that her excitement wasn't because Tang Zijun was a "god," but because she was happy to see Black City gradually improve.

Most importantly, the "gods" hardly contributed anything in this process. Apart from the initial supplies, Tang Zijun mostly issued orders. The Black City was transformed into what it is today by the people of Black City themselves, bit by bit.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Tang Zijun did nothing. The strategic guidelines he provided were very useful. For Grelando, it was more because of the sense of realism of being involved firsthand.

Tang Zijun smiled upon hearing this. "Don't waste the tents that have been taken down. Move them all to the Blood Plains. I want to expand my territory and, ideally, establish a camp to fight off the monsters that have escaped from the Ghost Mist Forest."
