Trash of the Count's Family

Yunnan Castle.

Less people lived here than in the nearby Sichuan Castle, however, the size of the territory and the walls were about the same.

It was because they were right next to Nanman.

Cale took a quick look at the wall down in the distance that looked sturdy even from up here.

Honestly speaking, he wasn’t paying much attention to the walls right now.

“Is it a formation?”

Two individuals responded to what he seemed to mumble to himself.

“That’s right! Outside the walls and inside the walls! There are two different formations!”

“It does seem like a formation, young master-nim.”

Inside the walls…

Yunnan Castle, which should be clearly visible from up in the mountains, was not visible at all.

A white fog was covering just that area.

“Formations really are different from magic.”

Raon quietly mumbled.

“If magic is using mana to create what you want, the formations of the Central Plains seem to artificially change the aura of nature to change the nearby surroundings.”

He then nodded his head with a serious look on his face.

“Yes, even formations will be very useful if used properly.”

“That’s correct, Raon-nim.”

Chief Eunuch Wi added on.

“Great formations can be called their own worlds. And the person who creates that formation will be called the god of that world.”

“God?”

He smiled at the young Dragon looking at him and answered.

“Doesn’t it seem that way? If someone is able to control and dominate an area and the time in the area, isn’t that basically a god?”

“…Area and time……”

Raon seemed to be thinking hard as his face looked like a squashed dumpling. Cale looked at him for a bit before asking.

“Is it a formation outside the castle as well?”

“I was wondering the same thing, young master-nim. Even I cannot tell what that is outside the castle.”

Chief Eunuch Wi quickly answered.

Yunnan Castle, which has mountains to the east and west, and wide plains to the north and south.

There were some houses visible on the endless plains but nobody seemed to be inside them.

This was to be expected.

There was no way that the Blood Cult would have traveled past these homes without doing anything to the people.

“It is a formation!”

Raon answered extremely confidently.

“I’m certain that there is a formation that starts at the castle walls and wraps all around it! It has an approximate radius of 1km!”

A formation with a radius of 1km that wrapped all around the castle.

“I’m saying that because mana is twisted over there! Formations are the only things in the Central Plains world that can cause that!”

“Oh.”

Cale quietly gasped.

“Then you are saying that this normal sight of rice paddies underneath the sunset might be an illusion?”

“That’s right!”

Raon frowned.

He looked even more like a squashed dumpling.

“Both formations inside and outside the castle are ones that are difficult for me to figure out at once. The person who set up the formation seems to be quite skilled! This is the most skilled formation I have seen since we arrived in this world!”

The corners of Cale’s lips twisted up.

‘They definitely seem to be more skilled than the Black Bloods.’

The first Hunters household he met on Xiaolen…

The Black Bloods, the House of Huayans.

They were quite strong as well but the Blood Cult seemed to be more strategic and have more abilities and secrets.

‘The living jiangshis and jiangshis are probably not all of their cards.’

They were probably only a portion of their strengths and abilities.

Yet just that portion, the living jiangshis, appearing in the Central Plains was enough to cause chaos. It would have been enough for the Blue Bloods, the Blood Cult, to consume all of the Central Plains.

If things had been left as is, of course.

“Raon.”

Cale asked in a low voice.

“Is it impossible to figure out everything about those formations?”

“No! I am a great and mighty Dragon! I can figure out a good amount if I take a look! I know everything if I study it!”

Raon puffed up his chubby stomach.

He pounded his chest as if telling Cale to trust him.

“Then it will probably be easier to inspect the formations if we get a bit closer, right?”

“That’s right!”

Cale looked around after hearing Raon’s response.

Choi Han, Chief Eunuch Wi, Choi Jung Soo, Beacrox.

These were the only people who teleported with him.

“We will stay around here tonight and observe Yunnan.”

“Yes, young master-nim. Then I will get a place ready for the night.”

Chief Eunuch Wi answered and Choi Jung Soo suddenly interjected.

“We have to go observe the formation anyway, so how about over there?”

He was pointing to one of the houses on the plain.

It was a house right at the bottom of the western mountain Cale was standing on. It was also one of the few houses that were outside of the formation’s area of influence.

“Won’t we get caught?”

As Chief Eunuch Wi worried about the enemies seeing them…

“Don’t worry!”

Raon interjected.

“I can use a bit of formations now! I will try to hide us!”

“Hooo.”

Cale gasped in admiration.
