Chapter 524 - 524 522 The Birth of the Great Tobacco Sprite

Chapter 524: Chapter 522 The Birth of the Great Tobacco Sprite Chapter 524: Chapter 522 The Birth of the Great Tobacco Sprite The concept steam car for the general public had been left at Cigar Castle, serving as a specialized vehicle for shuttling guests of the castle.

Ugly though it was.

At least the public steam car represented the most advanced technology of Dragon Sleep Continent and marked the beginning of a new Industrial Age.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

On December 25 of the Year 5584 of the Dragon Calendar, Russell woke up from his sleep as usual, and the first thing he did was to glance at his bedside table.

On the bedside table, there was a jade box.

Inside the jade box, Tobacco Sprite Niko was sprawled out, fast asleep. Her small mouth slightly opened as she softly snored.

“Huh?”

Russell exclaimed in surprise, “Niko isn’t curled up in pain, is it finally over?”

What followed was a tinge of disappointment. The pain had ended, but Niko showed no changes, which obviously meant that Niko’s evolution had ultimately ended in failure. After such a long build-up and selling so much magic tobacco, it had still failed.

But before long.

Russell came to terms with it, “It’s fine that she failed. She was evolving at an inappropriate time anyway. As long as she hasn’t been greatly harmed… There might be another chance for evolution in the future. Then, Ice Cream can assist you by spewing Dragonflame!”

Saying this.

He reached out his finger and poked the fast-asleep Niko.

Niko slowly opened her eyes in a daze, and upon seeing Russell, her eyes brightened, then she immediately flew up.

Making gestures with her hands towards Russell.

“Hmm?” Russell asked, “What do you want?”

Niko then gestured with her fingers at her mouth, miming a smoking action, “Eegoo, eegoo?”

“Do you want to smoke?”

“Eegoo!”

“Alright, here’s a cigar for you to mess with.” Russell took out a box of Frost Snow Cigars from the drawer and pulled one out for Niko to play with.

Then he pulled the bedside bell cord to summon the maids to clean the room.

Russell himself quickly freshened up and changed into a smart tailcoat, as there was no reason to stick around Cigar Castle now that Niko had failed to evolve. So, he had decided to go out and wander on the Snowfield.

As soon as he had dressed, Niko flew to him again, gesturing, “Eegoo!”

“What?”

“Eegoo, eegoo.” Niko pointed at the cigar and mimed a lighting motion, “Goo goo, eegoo!”

“Haha, you really do want a smoke, huh?” Russell chuckled and tapped Niko’s nose.

Niko responded by putting her hands on her hips in indignation.

Looking so adorable, Russell couldn’t bear to refuse her, so he lit a Frost Snow Cigar himself and then held it near Niko’s mouth, “Here, take a puff. Treat yourself… You’ve made so many cigars, but you’ve never had a single puff, have you?”

Niko immediately cuddled up to the butt of the cigar.

She was too small, merely the size of a palm, and her mouth could not envelop the butt of the cigar; she could only suck lightly on the tip.

She didn’t even manage to puff out any smoke.

Russell had to help by blowing on the cigar a little to bring some smoke towards Niko, which she swallowed down and then comfortably burped contentedly.

“Alright, little one, off to the Spirit Room with you,” Russell said with a smile as he picked up Niko, “making me smoke so early in the morning.”

However, as they were heading to the Spirit Room.

Niko suddenly became excited, flying up and dancing in the corridor, all the while shouting, “Eegoo, eegoo… Goo goo, eegoo… Eegoo, goo goo… Goo goo, goo goo!”

Russell stopped in his tracks, watching Niko go wild.

At that moment.

In his psychic connection, Niko, who had been calmed down, became excited once again.

And it was an unprecedented excitement.

Moreover, Russell acutely felt that the surrounding air seemed to be circulating with traces of magic power.

This magic power was faint, impossible to pinpoint.

But he could vividly feel it rushing towards Niko, surrounding her and flowing into her body.

“Has evolution started again?” Russell was astounded.

Deep inside, he couldn’t restrain his jubilation. He had thought Niko’s evolution had failed, but the calm of the morning was just consolidating power for this moment of evolution.

Her evolution had not ended yet!

Struggling to contain his excitement, Russell made not a single sound, so as not to disturb Niko’s evolution, and then he stared intently at the drunkenly frenzied Niko.

The next moment.

Niko’s body began to change, she was originally the size of a palm, but now her body rapidly grew, inflating to half a meter tall in the blink of an eye. Her formerly pudgy features became more defined and exquisite.

One moment, she was a cartoonish little darling, and in the next, she had become an exquisite doll.

Behind her, a pair of butterfly-like transparent wings flapped, her wavy curled hair cascaded down, and above her head was a small tobacco plant with five or six bright green leaves, almost like a hat on her.

Her body was clothed in a light green dress, crafted by magic power.

“Yigu!”

The delicate doll stretched and then opened her mouth to exhale a faint cloud of smoke—the result of the cigar she had inhaled earlier.

Then.

She tilted her head and looked at Russell with innocent eyes, opened her mouth and said clearly, “Russell, I seem to have changed! Yigu, yigu! I can talk now, Russell, I can talk!”

“Yes!” Russell was so surprised and excited he didn’t know how to express himself, the long-awaited and long-worried-about Tobacco Sprite Niko.

Had finally brought the biggest surprise this morning.

She had evolved into the Great Tobacco Sprite, with no earth-shattering commotions, just a puff of cigar smoke and a blink of an eye to complete the evolution.

He couldn’t help but stretch out his hand and touch Niko’s arm, little wings, and the tobacco hat on her head: “It’s wonderful, Niko… Now, let the world reacquaint itself with the Great Tobacco Sprite from Cigar Castle, Lady Nico!”

“Lady Nico!” Niko, hands on her hips, brimmed with pride, “I like that name, yigu, yigu!”

“Let’s go, pay a visit to the castle’s servants, let them know about Lady Nico’s presence!”

Russell led the way, and Niko followed him, quickly flying into the grand hall of Cigar Castle.

Butler Morris was already there with the servants lined up, all eagerly gazing at the doll-like Great Tobacco Sprite.

“By the dragon’s watch, blessed by the glow!” Russell glanced at his left palm, which was burning with flames.

The Little Dream Dragon had not actually watched, nor had the Shadowflame Dragon.

But.

Niko’s power ultimately originated from the dragon’s might. Such auspicious words still had to be said as he surveyed the hundreds of servants of Cigar Castle: “Today, Niko has evolved into the Great Tobacco Sprite, and from now on, you are to address her as Lady Nico!”

“Yigu, yigu!” Niko flew in front of Russell, chest thrust forward, staring at the servants, “Lady Nico is here!”

Butler Morris immediately led the loud chorus: “Greetings to Lady Nico!”

“Greetings to Lady Nico!”

“Greetings to Lady Nico!”

The servants cheered wildly. The birth of a great sprite was a joyous event for the entire castle, and each servant shared in the glory—Russell’s reward would follow soon, and the servants wished for daily sprite evolutions.

“Reward!” Indeed, Russell grandly declared, “Butler Morris, all servants are to receive a substantial bonus; distribute it at the highest standard!”

Butler Morris immediately responded, “As you wish, sir!”

The smiles of the servants could not be contained any longer, as they shouted in unison: “Praise the master! Praise Lady Nico! Praise Cigar Castle! Praise the Fluorescent Fungi Family!”
