Chapter 692 - Chapter 692 Chapter 579 Puppet

Chapter 692: Chapter 579: Puppet Chapter 692: Chapter 579: Puppet “What a magnificent place!”

Higurashi Chika wore a smile on her face. After leaving Hankawa, the situation with her had been curbed, and she hadn’t developed a new urge to kill for several days in a row.

This left Roger feeling a bit odd, but after checking on Higurashi Chika several times, he still couldn’t find the real reason.

After much thought, he could only attribute it to her mood.

Perhaps traveling and seeing more of the world would also help dilute the murderous intent in her body.

“What’s there to see? I’m already tired of it!”

A paper doll sitting on Higurashi Chika’s shoulder shook her head and spoke.

The paper doll, about the size of a palm, emitted a hazy glow from its surface, and its proportions were exactly like Yukiko’s, all the while idly kicking her legs, as thin as fingers.

“It’s been too calm on the way. Can’t you find something exciting to do?”

“This is Everworld. How can there be no battles at all?”

“Or is it that…”

She said suspiciously, glancing at Roger and Higurashi Chika.

“You two, behind my back…”

“What are you thinking about? If we really wanted to do something, would we do it behind your back?!”

Roger spoke disdainfully, his hands moving quickly as he grabbed the paper doll by the collar and tossed her out.

“Ah… uh…”

Yukiko’s voice was quickly drowned out by the wind. She twirled in the air, struggled mightily, and finally landed back on Higurashi Chika’s shoulder.

The area controlled by Funiu Sword Pavilion was vast, and because of its profound heritage, it had many more forces and cities under its command than Cold Crow Sword Pavilion did.

More importantly, after years of deep cultivation, their power had covered the entire region.

Even on the high mountains in the wilderness, there were corresponding checkpoints.

The number of people was vast, and the scattered towns and villages were connected to cities, covering the entire region with a great vitality.

This made the area under the management of Funiu Sword Pavilion much closer to a normal world.

Even at night, only in certain areas would danger be encountered, and occasional monster disturbances in villages were almost always minor issues.

Along the way, Roger could clearly see the happiness and prosperity of the ordinary people.

But it seemed that Sword Master Cold Crow didn’t have much talent in governance, plus his rise had been too quick, without time to build and consolidate, so his forces could barely protect the cities.

As for the wilderness, they only ventured out during the day.

Green Mountain City.

Entering the city, Roger looked around and was surprised to see a rare crampedness.

There were many pedestrians on the roads and cultivators moving about, the main thoroughfare filled with connected houses. Strangely, many homes were decorated with lights and colors, decked out in front of their doors.

People on the streets seemed joyful.

“What’s going on?”

“Is there an important festival today?”

Festival, a word so ordinary in reality, was a luxury in Everworld.

“I remember now!”

Higurashi Chika suddenly spoke up, “Today is March third, Girl’s Day.”

“Father celebrated it with me once when I was a child.”

“The shrine would hold a floating doll ceremony, where girls would place dolls in boxes and let them float away with the currents to take away misfortune.”

Higurashi Chika seemed to have recalled something.

“I can’t remember many details of that day, the only thing I remember is that after returning, we ate a dish of chilled scallops at a little shop by the roadside.”

“I’ll never forget that taste in my lifetime.”

That ordinary people in the area managed by Funiu Sword Pavilion had the mood to celebrate festivals showed the pavilion’s strength.

“Quick, quick, let’s go have a look!”

“I don’t have these memories in my head.” Yukiko bounced and hopped on Higurashi Chika’s shoulder, eagerly urging her.

Roger looked up at the distant mountains, hesitated for a moment, but agreed to go.

“Let’s go. It’s on the way anyway.”

The two followed the flow of people and, along with the joyous crowd, climbed a green mountain nearby. Upon reaching the mountain, the celebrations appeared even more grand.

Roger was unfamiliar with the specific process of Girl’s Day, nor did he know if the festivals in Everworld had any connection to those in the real world.

However, seeing all the smiling faces around him, it was easy to feel affected.

He noticed that the dolls made by the girls were very delicate.

And incredibly lifelike.

It seemed that each one was enhanced with Onmyoji techniques. Roger glanced over and saw that some of the more outstanding ones were nearly the same size as real people, with identical features.

He saw the girls go upstream, take out carefully prepared paper boats, about half a meter long, the bodies of ship painted with talismans.

Next, the girls placed the exquisitely made dolls on the boats, then took out their sachets.

“What’s that?”

Yukiko asked curiously.

“It’s natal hair.”

“It’s the first lock of hair cut from the top of a girl’s head after her birth, carrying a bit of innate spiritual power.”

A voice came from nearby. Roger looked sideways and saw a woman with a veil on her head, her scarf flowing with spiritual power, clearly not an ordinary item.

To see the woman’s face, one would have to disrupt the defense created by the spiritual power on the surface of the veil.

Of course, Roger had no such idle interest. He turned away his gaze, casually looking around.

But Yukiko was intrigued.

“What are they doing?”

“Praying to take away bad luck?”

Yukiko asked excitedly.

“Bad luck?” The woman in the black veil scoffed, “I think it’s more about romantic fortune, right?”

Hearing the words romantic fortune, Yukiko immediately became gossipy. “So that means, Girl’s Day is for marriage proposals?”
