: Some Clues
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Upon hearing Hao Ren’s question, Bluphlei got a little surprised. He still did not realize that the owner of the sanctuary was a human. Nonetheless, he took a moment to ponder before he replied,
To be honest, this issue has been discussed in our family meeting numerous times. It’s a bit frustrating… But as the countess said, even if there were no demon hunters, it seems difficult to regain the hegemony of this planet from the humans. Humans are no longer the ignorant, primitive creatures from thousands of years ago. Though their bodies are still weak, the power they possess now is on par with other creatures. There is now a viewpoint that there is no difference in strength and power between humans and unusual creatures. They are the same kind of creature as us. It’s just that humans put all their talents in building their civilization.

He glanced at Vivian while he spoke,
As you said, a nuclear bomb can destroy everything. Even if Zeus and the rest resurrected, they would not be able to handle these insane explosive maniacs.

Vivian looked interested and said,
Then, the revival of the Mythological Era you mentioned…


It’s just a wonderful idea and slogan.
Blushedt smiled awkwardly.
In fact, the core idea is only to get rid of the demon hunters. After that… we’ll discuss further. Most of the creatures still alive today are a bunch of very realistic guys. There’s nothing to gain from declaring a war with humans for a little bit of historical pride.


You guys are considered wise among werewolves but, I’m afraid not everyone is as smart as you are,
Vivian grunted.
If the demon hunters are really defeated, I don’t believe that every other species will be happy to coexist with humans peacefully. There may especially be a few old monsters that survived the Mythological Era and are present in the world today. They are as stubborn as stones.

Bluphlei thought that the countess, who lived longer than anyone else was one to call other people old monsters but, he did not show it on his face. Instead, he tried to change the topic as things were getting awkward.
Let’s not talk about distant things. At the rate that things are moving, the demon hunters could still be active for at least hundreds of years. It would be hasty of us to discuss who the boss will be after the revitalization at this point. Perhaps, by then the humans are no longer living on Earth? Based on their speed of development… Haha.

Hao Ren was surprised to find that not all werewolves were silly and stupid. What the two elders were thinking was quite far-fetched. They were even concerned about human aerospace technology. Were they advancing with the times or just being trendy? The werewolf in real life was indeed more flexible than the one in film. It seemed that they did not remain in the dark forest for hundreds of years which, could eventually turn them into creatures with a limited outlook and narrow view.

According to what you said, The Day of Return is a real concern .
Vivian sipped some tea to clear her throat.
The demon hunters are dwindling in numbers and some of the creatures are recovering from the aftereffect of The Great Weakening… it seems likely that the era is really going to change. Perhaps, I should also go and seek out those old guys. Why has no one informed me about such a big thing?

Bluphlei smiled perfunctorily and thought,
The vampires would actually like to inform you but they can’t find you. Who could find such an unpredictable countess, who also enjoys blending in with the crowd without the help of Dragnet Search from agents of a reinforced battalion?

Hao Ren was thinking about something else: It seemed that there was still some time before The Day of Return and many of them appeared to understand that it was not very smart to declare war with humans in the present day. Therefore, the whole situation was not as dangerous as it seemed to be but, what was going to happen to the world once The Day of Return came?
What should he do? Or … What could he do?
Obviously, he could not just jump and tell the whole world that they were going to declare war with mythical creatures like vampires and werewolves. It would not just get him on the news, he would most likely be sent to a psychiatric hospital too. Hao Ren was not going to get himself into such big trouble but, he had to do something. Therefore, he connected to his Mobile Data Terminal in his mind.
Prepare a report…

He reported the information he got to Raven 12345. After all, one of the tasks given to Hao Ren by the goddess was to pay attention on the development trends of creatures and demon hunters on Earth. The report was absolutely unavoidable. After that…it was best to observe for a while.
Hao Ren knew that there was still too little information about the matter. He had just heard a few words on The Day of Return. He was not even clear on how many races of unusual creatures in the world were ready to take action, how many demon hunters were dealing with the issue and how many humans knew about the existence of unusual creatures. It was risky to take any action in such a confusing situation. After going through several extraordinary experiences, Hao Ren was no longer the rookie, who would become impatient and jump up and down over a little problem. He knew he had to analyze and make certain of the situation before taking any action.
Of course, sometimes, people would also call that procrastination…
Lily had been listening to the boring conversation with her head tilted for half an hour. At that point, her neck finally seemed to be feeling better. The husky girl straightened her head up slightly, looked at Blushedt and asked,
Uncle, what does ‘glorious ancient kingdom will reopen its door’ mean?

It was not easy for her to remember the words so clearly.

That’s what it said in the prophecy brought by the sirens. They didn’t explain further,
Blushedt replied.
And we guess that this means, the lost ruins of Olympus, Osiris and sun ships may reappear in the world.


Reappear?
Lily’s ears suddenly stood upright.
I know Olympus, it’s in Greece.


No, I mean the real Olympus and other ancient palaces.
Blushedt’s eyes sparkled.
These ruins were built by the strongest men back then, using supernatural powers. Just as demons were able to build their palaces in the crevices of space. At that time, they also built their temples in another space. They expressed their ‘invincible might’ this way and also to prevent human trespassing. But, the entrances to these ancient palaces collapsed with the death of their builders and there is only a small amount of debris left on Earth now. If The Day of Return can make these relics reappear, I believe that at least, the Thunder Giant’s descendants will rise again. And oh, there are also those Nordic hermits. They are quite dependent on certain treasures that are passed from generation to generation.

Blushedt seemed to pay more attention to these ancient relics than Bluphlei. He kept talking about ancient sanctuaries that were lost in another space. However, when he talked about these things, another thought flashed across Hao Ren’s mind:

Glorious ancient kingdom
most likely referred to another place!
He knew more than the two werewolf elders. He had heard of even more ancient mysteries regarding unusual creatures from the psychopathic female. It was a secret these creatures had long forgotten and only the earliest ones knew of: the true origins of the unusual creatures.
The most glorious ancient kingdom was not on Earth but, in The Plane of Dreams!
The idea suddenly crossed his mind. Plus, a couple of other experiences led Hao Ren to believe more and more that he had accidentally guessed part of the truth. However, he needed to confirm all this so, he tried to hide the weird expression on his face. Only Vivian noticed his eyes flashing and asked,
Landlord, what happened to you?


Err, nothing, just drifting away.


Oh,
Vivian said and looked up at the wall clock. Immediately, she stood up, wipe her hands on her apron and walked towards the kitchen like it was a conditioned reflex.
You guys talk first, I’ll go cook. Doggie, quickly go to the supermarket at the junction and buy some meat. We have guests today. Let me prepare some delicious dishes!

Vivian had been living there for a couple of months. She had fully integrated into the roles of cook and nanny. The process of getting up to go into the kitchen and ordering Lily to buy food was smooth. This baffled the two Ebbens. Bluphlei opened his mouth in surprised,
Wait… I found it weird when I saw that apron just now. Is the countess responsible for cooking here?

Hao Ren laughed inside and thought,
You’re so surprised to find that Vivian is the cook here, if you find out what Y’zaks does, you’re going to faint for sure: This godlike, great demon’s responsible for the liquefied gas tank here…
