Chapter 73: Chapter 52: The Bizarre Miracle (Vote for Recommendation)_2
“That is Your Majesty, the one with three miracles!”
Not long ago, the Tree Elves’ Descendants also became aware of Pegasus Shelly’s existence, which could not be concealed any longer, and there was no need to hide it anymore.
The disposition and loyalty of the Tree Elves’ Descendants had been ascertained beyond doubt by Bailuo and others during this time, and they could be trusted with their own backs; they were worthy of trust!
Moreover, possessing more than 50% of the Miracle Power was by no means just for show.
Only if the entire Tree Elf race was completely loyal to Bailuo, would Miracle Power increase, and this, old uncle was absolutely sure of.
“Hmm?”
It was at that moment Bailuo suddenly looked up; he noticed that the text on the Black Leather Book had changed.
The word [wait] had disappeared, replaced by…
[Continue waiting]
“Pffft!!!”
Bailuo nearly choked to death on the Black Leather Book: “Are you trying to anger me to death, and then take over my inheritance?”
Was the Black Leather Book trying to make him laugh?
Previously it was just riddles, but now, quite simply, it gave him the letters one by one.
“You, you’re really too, too something!”
“Huff- — ”
Bailuo couldn’t help but laugh and cry: “Alright, alright, I’ll wait, isn’t that enough?”
So, on the seventh day, Bailuo looked at the four large characters on the Black Leather Book that read [Continue waiting], and for the first time felt a sense of helplessness with nowhere to apply his strength.
Bailuo’s wait was not simply about sitting there.
He also had to choose the time.
Because according to the initial hints, with both the moon and the sun involved, Bailuo had waited at dawn and in the dead of night.
Once, Bailuo waited from morning until evening, a full twenty-four hours.
However, it was all to no avail.
“This…”
“If you have a task for me, just say it.”
But you say nothing, just having Bailuo wait, what’s the point?
“Wait, wait, continue to wait.”
Bailuo: “Hiss— Isn’t that all the same?”
“Where’s the difference? Where is it, huh?”
“Is this a riddle? But I’ve waited seven days, I’ve waited in all these time periods!”
“Where did I go wrong? Did I misunderstand something?”
Bailuo didn’t get agitated, instead, he began to patiently analyze, searching for what he might have done wrong.
Sherri looked at Bailuo, puzzled, but saw that he was deep in thought, albeit powerless to assist.
If it were a fight, Sherri would definitely be the first to charge.
But when it came to human work, she was at a loss.
“Wait, wait, continue waiting, what on earth is…”
Bailuo paced back and forth on the cliff edge, watching Feiya, who had come here to call him back to eat, with a look of surprised uncertainty.
Yatun Island was 60 kilometers from north to south, and even with a horse’s speed on flat ground, accounting for the time to cross obstacles, continuous running would take approximately six hours to reach.
However, with Yatun Island being taller in the middle and lower at both ends, plus the distance from the center to all sides being only 30 kilometers, the speed could be increased significantly.
On average, it would take about four hours to run there and back.
Moreover, these horses were no ordinary ones; they had received Lilith’s Miracle Power and had developed intelligence, no longer ordinary horses.
“What’s wrong?”
The senior fellow apprentice rode a new warhorse; it was not Radish, Radish was pregnant and being looked after.
The Miracle Power inside Radish was particularly exuberant, and Lilith declared that this newborn foal would definitely become the Child of Miracle that would inherit Sherry’s Miracle Power.
“Nothing.”
In front of his senior fellow apprentice, Bailuo pretended to be calm: “Just a small problem, not worth mentioning.”
“Hmm.”
Senior fellow apprentice: “I thought you had encountered some trouble.”
“What trouble? I’m just…”
After a long look at each other, Bailuo couldn’t resist saying in the end: “Alright, I’ve encountered some trouble.”
“But it’s not a big deal.”
“Because you haven’t found the new miracle?”
“Er…”
Bailuo hesitated for a moment, skipping over the Black Leather Book, but nodded, saying: “Yes, this miracle is quite special.”
Some things did not need to be hidden from his senior fellow apprentice.
This time, Bailuo might truly need to ask his senior fellow apprentice and old uncle.
“Is there anything I can do to help?”
“Actually, there is.”
Bailuo said: “If someone asked you to wait somewhere, but stood you up seven times, what would you think?”
“Impossible!”
Senior fellow apprentice: “At most three times, I would definitely kill him.”
“Clap!”
“Brilliant!”
Bailuo clapped his hands, internally praising that his senior fellow apprentice was indeed decisive.
“But what if the other party has a deeper meaning?”
“Then just wait quietly.”
Senior fellow apprentice said: “Although plain waiting is very odd, I suppose I would have the patience to wait.”
“Have the patience?”
“Wait, if just considering the literal meaning,” senior fellow apprentice: “it would be simply waiting, or, waiting for something.”
“Something?”
“Sunrise, sunset, full moon, tides, anything is possible.”
‘But I’ve waited for all of them already!’
Bailuo was about to say that, but he suddenly realized, in the previous days, no matter how he waited, there was one thing he hadn’t seen—a full moon!
Because today was the full moon!
‘It’s not that I misunderstood the meaning of waiting; it’s, damn, the timing was wrong!’
The waiting on the Black Leather Book was for the full moon, a specific day, rather than simply the sun, moon, and stars.
Because it wasn’t the time for a full moon yet, so it asked you to wait.
After waiting a day, it still hadn’t come, hence it told you to keep waiting.
Three days later, still a few days off, so it told you to continue waiting.
‘While celestial events still include solar and lunar eclipses, the Black Leather Book would not issue such an impossible task.’
Bailuo understood, finally understood: “Senior sister, you go back first, I’ll, just sit for a while longer!”
“Don’t worry, with Sherry here, I can go home anytime.”
