Chapter 279 - 279. Fairy Guardians And The Fryz
"How did you get hurt? Where are your other friends?" Master Liu asked the fairy who was still lying weakly.
It could be seen, his slightly torn wings slowly recovered and were intact as before.
Hearing the middle-aged man\'s words, the guardian fairy blinked and slowly flapped his wings and in just a few seconds he was back flying.
"Master Liu, some of us went east and only a few of us stay here," replied the guardian Fairy.
"To the east?"
"The guardian Fairy in the east sent a message about a suspicious movement at the border," explained the guard fairy.
"Border?"
"That\'s right, Master Liu. At the border of Faery and Vampire," he replied.
"Since when?" Master Liu asked with furrowed brows.
"Early this morning, Master Liu."
"Did the Fryz know this already?"
"I don\'t know, because just this morning some of us went over to tell about this to fryz."
"Then what happened to you? How did you get stuck there?" Master Liu asked again.
"That was my carelessness, Master Liu," replied the guardian fairy as he flapped his wings.
The Fryz are fairies who have the task of maintaining the security of the Fairy territory. The duties of the fryz and guardian fairies are the same, only the difference lies in the range of territory they guard.
The guardian fairies only guard the outer region, while the fryz serve in two parts of the fairy region, namely the inner region and the core region. However, fryz also sometimes head for the outer territory when something happens at the border.
The guardian fairies were not allowed to take shape-shifting pills, this was meant so that they could keep an eye on everything that was happening on the border using their small bodies, different from the Fryz who were even advised to take shape-shifting pills because their existence was only in the inner and core regions. And that\'s to make it easier for them to fight with creatures that are bigger than their small bodies.
"Master Liu is going back to the core region?" asked the guardian fairy.
"Emm, as you can see, I just came back from the wizard\'s territory," the middle-aged man replied as he slightly lifted the chest containing the many pills in his hand.
"Then I ask for your help, to report this to the fryz in the core area," said the guardian fairy.
"Alright. Don\'t worry," Master Liu replied.
"And to Miss wizard, no, eee... I mean to this Miss fairy, thank you for helping and healing my wounds," said the guardian fairy while bowing in the air, giving thanks.
For a moment, Fu Xie Lan was stunned to hear the guardian fairy\'s words. How does he know her a woman? Haven\'t people always thought of her as a man with the clothes she wears?
"Guards fairy are blessed with strong instincts, sometimes they can know things that other fairies can\'t," said Master Liu as if he knew what was in Fu Xie Lan\'s mind.
Fu Xie Lan didn\'t respond anymore, for this part, it seemed like she had read it before.
"Then how about we go back on our way?"
"Okay, it\'s up to you Uncle."
"You go back to your place, don\'t wander around and fall like before again," said Master Liu to the guardian fairy who never seemed to take his attention away from Fu Xie Lan.
"Okay, thank you again," said the guardian fairy then with a slow flap of wings, he flew a little higher and then turned and walked away from there.
Seeing this, Fu Xie Lan also rose from her position.
"Come on, Uncle," she said and at the same time, Hao immediately jumped onto her shoulder.
Fu Xie Lan and Master Liu resumed their journey.
Almost all the guardian fairies knew Master Liu\'s figure, the middle-aged man was one of the fairies who passed by the flower field the most where the guardian fairies lived. So who doesn\'t know him? Even some of the Fryz knew him, while others had only heard of his name without ever meeting the middle-aged man.
"I don\'t know, it turns out that many recognize Master Liu," said Fu Xie Lan suddenly.
Hearing the words of the girl walking behind him, Master Liu just smiled.
"They only recognize my name, but not me, kid," Master Liu replied without slowing down.
"Master Liu lives in which region?" asked Fu Xie Lan curiously.
"I only have a home in the inner region, kid. But occasionally I also live in the core region. Zephyr Academy provides temporary homes for Masters and Elders. Just like in the phoenyx academy."
From Master Liu\'s words, Fu Xie Lan could immediately tell that zephyr academy was a fairy race academy. Don\'t forget that she had read a book about fairies in Elder Chen\'s residence when she first entered the wizarding race. Every Race in Artland World has its academy.
"The academy is only open for three days, and the rest will be closed. This is so students and masters can reunite with their families for the remaining four days before returning to the academy," explained Master Liu.
"Unlike the phoenyx academy in the wizarding territory which doesn\'t allow students or master to leave the academy if they don\'t have an important need so they don\'t have time to regroup with their families. Zephyr academy in this fairy territory isn\'t that cruel," he added at length.
"And while the academy is closed, that\'s when I usually go to the wizard\'s territory to supply pills, otherwise I might just stay in the house in the inner region."
Fu Xie Lan heard all of Master Liu\'s words very clearly and without missing a word.
"Isn\'t Uncle tired? Why not just stay in the core area?"
Hearing the girl\'s question, Master Liu smiled bitterly.
"The cost of living in the core region is very expensive, kid. I can\'t," he replied.
"Isn\'t Uncle a Master in zephyr academy? your wages still not enough?"
"I became a teacher at the academy voluntarily, and so far I have never expected to receive even a single stone\'s reward."
"Why is it like that?" Fu Xie Lan couldn\'t believe that there would be someone like Master Liu in this world.
"This is the will of my mother and father, kid," Master Liu replied in a slightly heavy tone.
"In the past, when they were alive, they wanted me to do something useful for this race and yes this is how I am now," added Master Liu.
Fu Xie Lan who heard Master Liu\'s words were silent, did not respond anymore. Felt a little bad, because it seemed like she had accidentally touched a topic they shouldn\'t be discussing.
"I\'m sorry, Uncle," said Fu Xie Lan.
"Hmmm, why apologize? They are indeed dead, but not in my heart," Master Liu replied with a sigh and then smile.
"If someone hadn\'t taken me away then, I might have ended up in the tragedy seven hundred ago.
