As a time traveler from the Flower Growing Family, when he has strong troops and horses, he will naturally strive to dominate the world. This is not a stupid female-oriented brainless article.
Shangguan Wen's voice was low and magnetic, and he tried to make Alpha understand everything he was about to face.
In essence, he is no different from the Diabolos Cult; both are ambitious people who want to conquer the world, but one has been hiding in the dark for hundreds of years, while the other intends to conquer openly.
"Yes, my king. I am willing to be that faint firefly to illuminate the way ahead for you." An unprecedented light flashed in Alpha-Olivia's eyes. It was a desire for unknown challenges and a cherishment of new freedom.
Even if our king says that he is an ambitious person who wants to conquer the world, so what? The world has no shortage of ambitious people. What it lacks is a powerful ambitious person who can unify all forces in the entire continent!
Irene gently stroked Alpha's head and said softly:
"Alpha, we are moved by your courage and determination. But you must understand that joining us means you will learn to face things more terrifying than death—betrayal, loneliness, and endless battles. Are you sure you are ready?"
Shangguan Wenhe's goal is not just this world. His ambition grows with his strength. Although Irene has only been in this world for a short time, from the magical fluctuations felt in the air, it is not difficult to guess what the highest combat power limit of this world is.
Alpha didn't hesitate at all. She nodded vigorously, her voice small but firm:
"Yes, Lady Irene. I have no way out, and I don't want to escape anymore. Please allow me to be one of you, and face the future storms together."
Shangguan Wenhe and Irene smiled at each other. This smile showed both recognition of Alpha's courage and the expectation of fighting side by side in the future.
They knew that from this moment on, Alpha Olivia would no longer be a lonely and abandoned elf loli, but an indispensable member of their team. "Then welcome aboard, Alpha Olivia."
The elf loli nodded excitedly. She finally had a place to stay.
"Then I should come up with a name for the organization. How about [Shadow Courtyard]?"
"[Shadow Courtyard]? Why is it called that?"
"Because our current enemy is the Diabolos Cult. They are undoubtedly a massive organization lurking in this world for hundreds of years, and they even possess the ability to conceal historical truths. If we appear in the open, we will only become their target. Similarly, only by engaging in a confrontation in the dark can we secretly gather intelligence on them and draw the battle line into the darkness. They won't know our true strength, and we won't know the true strength of the Diabolos Cult either."
There is no anime in the original work, and the novel does not mention the subsequent [Diabolos Cult], but it is always better to be cautious in the early stages of starting a business.
Chapter 5: Six Types of Navy, Sailing World Shuttle Card
Soon, Alpha began to be taught by Shangguan Wenhe and Irene Belserion. It must be said that Alpha was really capable. Whether it was motor nerves or brain reaction ability, he could learn almost anything in a very short time. However, it was difficult when it came to astronomy, geography and whether the planets were round, because in Alpha's mind, the continent under their feet should be flat, not the so-called round.
Alpha's confusion about astronomy and geography didn't surprise Shangguan Wen and Irene Belserion; instead, it sparked a greater passion for teaching. They knew that breaking down long-held cognitive barriers wouldn't happen overnight; it required both patience and creativity. Irene decided to start with the everyday objects most familiar to Alpha, seeking a connection to astronomy and geography. "Alpha, look at those mountains in the distance," Irene said, pointing to the endless expanse of hills outside the window. "They may appear flat, but if we fly high enough, you'll see they're actually part of the Earth's surface. Like the oceans and plains, they're curved, forming our vast, round planet." Shangguan Wen used the lab's models and virtual reality technology to create a universe Alpha could explore firsthand. "Come, Alpha, put on this helmet, and I'll take you on an interstellar journey." With the virtual reality activated, Alpha seemed to be transported to the vast universe, witnessing the orbits of planets, the rotation of galaxies, and the azure silhouette of Earth slowly turning under the sun's rays. "Look, this is our home, Earth," Shangguan Wen's voice echoed in Alpha's ears. "It's not just flat, it's a perfect sphere, spinning alone and tenaciously in the universe." In the virtual environment, Alpha could fly freely, observing the Earth from all angles, even soaring through the atmosphere to see the dazzling starry sky and Earth's insignificance in the universe. After countless explanations and personal experiences, Alpha's understanding began to loosen up. The astronomical and geographical knowledge that once seemed incredible gradually took root in her mind. She began to realize that the world she knew was just the tip of the iceberg, and the vastness of the universe far exceeded her imagination. "So, this continent beneath our feet is really part of a circle..." Alpha muttered to herself, her eyes gleaming with an unprecedented light. In this moment, she not only gained knowledge, but more importantly, she learned to question and explore, realizing the vastness of the world, and that only through continuous learning can one move forward. Shangguan Wen and Irene smiled at each other. They knew that Alpha still had a long way to go, but as long as she had curiosity and a thirst for knowledge, nothing could stop her from exploring. And they will continue to serve as guides, accompanying Alpha in its journey through the ocean of knowledge, and jointly uncovering one mystery after another in the universe.
Alpha's magic class instructor is Irene, and his swordsmanship class instructor is Shangguan Wenhe. In teaching swordsmanship, in addition to the basic common sword moves at the beginning, Shangguan Wenhe uses actual combat to train Alpha, and in terms of skills and experience, he is both offensive and defensive.
Even though he did not achieve the expected result of splitting the earth and tearing the sky apart with one sword, Shangguan Wenhe was still in an absolute leading position because the swordsmanship of the [Shadow Powerful One] was too crude.
Alpha panted and sweated profusely and said:
As expected of my Lord, I lost
His eyes are full of admiration for his master. Since following his master, he has been exposed to knowledge that is not from this world, from culture to swordsmanship, which one is not worthy of Alpha's admiration.
Shangguan Wenhe swung a sword flower, put the sword into the scabbard, and placed it in the shadow space
Today's class ends here. Let's take a break. Tomorrow we will go find other new companions.
Hearing about her companions, Alpha's eyes lit up. Having a new companion rescued from the Diabolos Cult was truly a joyous occasion. Shangguan Wenhe was her age, but the perceptive Alpha could see that her Master treated her like a child, while Teacher Irene was a captivating beauty. She glanced at her own bean bun and then compared it to Teacher Irene's watermelon, and a sense of frustration welled up within her. She also felt that she should add companions, allowing the Master to see more of the growing little lolis. Didn't he say that loli should be nurtured? So, Alpha Olivia would help the Master collect more lolis and nurture them.
"Yes, my Lord."
Just when Shangguan Wenhe wanted to continue speaking, a ding-dong sound came from his mind.
[Ding Dong, the host's two-year time has come, the system update is complete, have you missed me?]
"Yes, of course I do. It's been five years since we last met, Tongzi."
He signaled to Irene next to him to take Alpha to study, and he took advantage of this gap to go to a deserted place to chat with the system.
Alpha glanced at the direction he left and did not ask what my master was going to do. When my master was willing to tell her, she would naturally know.
"Tongzi, what's the compensation for the five-year extension?"
[Ding Dong, a free 10-draw streak and today's sign-in]
"10th Company, there's too much water in here"
There are so many things from level 1 to 9999 that Shangguan Wenhe can’t count them all. It is possible to have all 10 levels black, and this system does not guarantee a minimum.
[Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for winning a box of condoms of a certain brand]
[Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for winning a portion of beef jerky]
[Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for obtaining a large military camp training ground for 1,000 people]
[Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for winning a Xuanwei ham]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a katana]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining an assault rifle]
[Congratulations to the host for winning an all-terrain off-road RV]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining Doran's Ring]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a One Piece Crossing Card]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a high-explosive grenade]
[Congratulations to the host for signing in today and receiving a copy of the Navy Six-Style Training Manual]
Shangguan Wenhe looked at the things obtained from the 10 consecutive draws and sign-ins given in the system update. Except for the [One Piece World] travel card, the others were all garbage that was tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away.
"I knew it wasn't any good, forget it, there's plenty of time later."
[Ding Dong, the host is right, there will be good things every time you sign in in the future]
"It's time to go home, otherwise Sister Kreya will look for me everywhere again."
Chapter 6: Shadow Garden Expansion
"Alpha, is the Elf Kingdom ahead?"
Shangguan Wen takes Alpha and Irene to rescue the new victim of [Demon Possession], the second Beta in the original work.
Alpha, who was in charge of giving directions, said in a sentimental tone:
"Yes, my Lord, Sister Irene, the Elf Kingdom is ahead, my former hometown."
"I'm sorry to bring back painful memories for you, but you need to come here to add a new companion, and you know that person."
"Who?"
"Your old acquaintance"
Arriving at the edge of the Elf Kingdom, Shangguan Wen found a discarded piece of wriggling flesh, a victim of [Demon Possession] with the same symptoms as Alpha. After confirming that there was no one around, Shangguan Wen took the wriggling piece of flesh and quickly left here. After arriving at a slightly safer area, he began to treat this poor girl. With the experience of treating Alpha, and with the tacit cooperation of Shangguan Wen and Irene, the curse was quickly expelled, and the girl revealed her true face: silver hair, blue eyes, a teardrop mole at the corner of her eye, and the pointed ears that symbolized her race. A silver-haired, blue-eyed elf loli is a good target for the men of the Flower Growing Family.
"I... I recovered. I turned back to my original form. I'm not an ugly monster anymore. Is this a dream? Wuuwuwu!!!"
The silver-haired loli found that she had returned to normal, and she burst into tears of joy.
After she had cried enough, she looked up blankly at Shangguan Wen and Irene Belserion, hoping to get an answer. Shangguan Wen briefly explained the relationship between [Demon Possession] and the descendants of heroes.
After hearing this, the silver-haired loli was completely stunned. If it weren't for her personal experience, she would probably think Shangguan Wen was fooling her.
"Now that you have been reborn, do you plan to return to the Elf Kingdom?"
The silver-haired loli shook her head painfully. Ever since the start of [Demon Possession], no matter what her status was in her past, she has become the object of everyone's scorn. She is regarded as a scourge by her relatives and friends, kicked out of the house, and driven away by stones by her friends. The happier her life is, the more desperate she feels about that hellish life. Even if she goes back, will she be accepted? No, her life will only be more miserable!
“No, there’s no going back.”
"Then you will abandon your painful past and join the [Shadow Court]. From now on, you will be called Beta, the second seat of the [Shadow Court]. This is the first seat, Alpha Oviria. You have known each other before."
When Beta saw Alpha, his pupils dilated. He thought that Alpha, the first one to be driven out, had died in a corner where no one cared about him, but he didn't expect that he was still alive.
Alpha also looked at Beta with a smile. Seeing that her companion was willing to join, she felt relieved. Beta was a trustworthy companion.
After Alpha and Beta exchanged a few words, they said with hope:
"My Lord, are there other elves in the Elf Kingdom who are being persecuted by [Demon Possession]?"
Shangguan Wen shook his head in response;
"I don't know. We can only search in the dark. The Diabolos Cult has special methods, but we can only search one place at a time. Our efficiency is not as good as theirs. We can only find a member of the Cult and ask him how he found the victim."
As for how to interrogate? Of course, torture was the way to extract a confession. For those who persecuted her, the Diabolos Cult, there was no need to talk about morality. They would use any means they could.
A few days later, the third member was found at the border of the Elf Kingdom and was given a new code name Gamma by Shangguan Wen.
During the following period, Shangguan Wen continued to pretend to be the obedient eldest son of the Kagailo family at home, while continuing to sign in to the system to become stronger, training the new members Beta and Gamma, and continuing to look for victims of [Demon Possession].
Hard work pays off, Shangguan Wen and his team found the fourth member.
----split line----
My name is Sarah, the daughter of the former wolf clan leader. Now, I have black spots on my body and have been driven out by my own people. But I don't care. As long as I can hunt, as long as I can hunt, I can survive. As for my people? What are they? Food? Or prey?
At the age of 3, she went hunting alone. At the age of 12, she was driven out of the tribe because of [demon possession].
But Sarah didn't care. To her, it made no difference whether she had a tribe or not. As long as she could hunt, as long as she used her keen sense of smell to track her prey, and used her wisdom and strength to deal with powerful prey, she could enjoy the joy of hunting. Every night, Sarah lay on the cold ground, looking up at the stars, with no resentment in her heart. Orcs were like this, a place where the strong preyed on the weak, and the weak had no value at all.
When Sarah was about to continue a new hunt, her vision suddenly went black and her body became shaky and out of control.
"What's wrong with me?"
Sarah raised her arms and suddenly realized that the black markings had reached her wrists and neck.
Sarah gave a reluctant smile. Has her life reached its limit?
I really don't want to give up. I really want to go hunting again.
Da da da!
The footsteps were approaching, and Sarah raised her head with difficulty to look in the direction of the sound.
The prey is coming!
I don’t know what’s coming, but it doesn’t matter. Even if she doesn’t have hands and feet, she still has teeth.
"Has it eroded to this extent? Don't move, I'll come to save you right away."
It was Alpha, Shangguan Wen and others who appeared in front of Sarah.
They were all dressed in black and reeked of blood.
When Sarah looked at Shangguan Wen, the only male in the team, the orc girl's instinct told her that the man in front of her was someone she could not defeat, even her irresponsible father was no match for him. The girl instinctively chose to follow the habits of the orcs, stretching out her legs and hands, revealing her white belly, and shaking her tail to indicate submission.
And this instinct is the submission of canine beastmen.
Alpha looked at Sarah, who showed her submission by showing her white belly, and said:
"This child showed his hunting intent towards us just now, but I didn't expect him to surrender upon seeing our Lord."
Shangguan Wen replied calmly:
"This is the instinct of the beastmen, tinged with animal habits. When the white belly is exposed and the tail is wagging, it represents surrender or loyalty."
"Go visit the Animal World more often in the future. There are many records of animal habits there."
Alpha nodded. In the future, there will be more and more orc girls appearing in Shadow Garden. As their future big sister, she naturally needs to know the weaknesses and strengths of her subordinates in order to establish the third position within the group.
Shangguan Wen walked over, took out the horse talisman he had obtained by signing in to the system, and used it to heal the part of Sarah that was covered with black spots, eliminating all abnormal external forces in her body. It could cure all diseases and eliminate harmful abnormal effects, restoring her to normal state.
"I...I'm recovered?"
Sarah looked at her arm, which had recovered perfectly. She tentatively clenched her fist, and the lost strength returned once again, and she could hunt again.
Chapter 7: Once Sarah, Now Delta
“I can continue hunting.”
Sarah stood up, full of excitement.
"Well, we can continue hunting. Alpha, help this girl, Delta, tell her about Shadow Garden."
Alpha nodded slightly, walked over to Sarah, no, Delta, and said:
"Delta, we in Shadow Garden are..."
After listening for a while, Delta understood that the boss Sid Kagalo or Shangguan Wen was the leader of a powerful orc tribe, who would lead a tribe called [Shadow Garden] to conquer the world.
Since it is a tribe, it means there is a hierarchy. Delta glanced at the girls present. The ones with short silver hair and long blue hair were weaker than her. The only strong one was the blonde girl.
Then, Delta pointed at Alpha and said:
"Delta wants to challenge you, I will become the second seat in [Shadow Garden]"
