C117 Hunting in the Outskirts(1)
The hunt began under the intense preparation of both parties. This day was called "The Day of Arte's Blood." It wasn't because of the number of people who died here, but because more than a dozen Holy Level experts were buried here today. The hunting ground in the outskirts of Arte was also known as "The tomb of an expert."
Early in the morning, Qingtian was ready to go. He was wearing a long white robe with the Taiyi Sword on his back. He looked like an unworldly expert. He gently stroked his long robe and said, "My precious clothes. I'll depend on you this time." As he was thinking, Qingtian led Iron out of the house. They headed towards the Imperial Palace.
Pocot also took back the Star Slash in Qingtian's hand. Only in his hands could this sword display its greatest power. In his forbidden area in the backyard, Linfei even brought the black crystal ball and bone cane with her.
"Grandma, why are you still holding them?" Maya did not understand. Grandma was already a magic god. Just using wood magic was enough. Why were they still holding these two dark magic artifacts?
"Hehe, it would be good if they were obedient. If they hurt my grandson or my precious granddaughter. I don't mind turning that place into hell." As he spoke, he patted Maya's head lovingly. However, the killing intent in his eyes could not be concealed.
In the magic union, Prios looked at the three magisters standing in front of him and said, "Believe me, everyone here knows what I mean. Although our magic union is not under the control of the Empire, everyone including me is a citizen of Art. Even though I don't want to see the country fall into internal strife. Alright, I won't say any more unnecessary words. Leave the other side's magician to us. We will not show mercy to those who want to overthrow the empire!"
Royal Magic Academy: Lesch silently helped her father wear armor. "You haven't worn this for a long time, right?" "Haha, it's been more than ten years. I'm old now, and I don't want to be as competitive as young people anymore." Adams had never thought that he would become so old. He was even dragged away from exhaustion.
"Since it's so dangerous, you don't have to go, father!" Lesch did not understand why her father still wanted to go even though he knew it was dangerous.
"Hehe, I do not want to be a teacher in school for the rest of my life. As a martial artist, the biggest wish is to constantly challenge the peak. And my current age is no longer good. However, as a Swordmaster, I must be responsible for my country. I clearly have this kind of strength, but I'm hiding here. This is not my style. Today, I want to let those people see that the lawless Fire element Swordmaster, Adams, has returned!" The old dean's heroic spirit soared to the sky. It was as if he had returned to the time when he had emerged from the thatched hut.
"Then I'll accompany you! I'll take care of you." Lesch knew from her father's words that this time was not simple.
"Your strength is not enough. When we get there, we will divide our hearts. You should stay at home." Adams's daughter was more talented than him, and she was as impulsive as he was when he was young. She still needed to train now!
"Then why can Ashlow?" Lesch did not seem to give up.
"Him? I have to say, he is the person I admire the most in my life. Do you know that he is now a Holy Level? A Holy Level with both martial and martial arts training! Even I, your father, am far from being a match for him. His responsibility this time is probably even greater. Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. If I don't come back, I'll leave the matters of the academy to Carmel (another dean of the academy). It was mentioned before. Then, old hag. " After saying that, he walked out without looking back.
In the Imperial Palace, Yat V was sitting on top of the throne, and the few palace masters in front of him had all gathered together. "I know you are all experts, but you have never displayed your skills ever since you entered the palace. Today, I have a chance, and this traitor, Randolph, has invited me to hunt. When the time comes, the other side will definitely send out all their experts. It's time for all of you to display your skills. However, you might also lose your lives at any time, so I won't force you all to do so. The ones left behind will still be the people of the palace in the future. In the future, protect my prince well, I won't blame you. Alright, all of you can state your stance now."
" We pledge our loyalty to Art and eradicate the traitors! "As if they had discussed it, they all lowered their bodies and shouted!
On the other hand, Randolph was also making his final preparations. His men had already been arranged. The other experts were all scattered in the hunting grounds. The old man repeatedly compared the strength of both parties, his brows tightly knitted.
"Sir, what are you still worried about? "One of his trusted aides carefully asked from the side.
"Nothing. Alright, you can go down and prepare to set off. " The old man obviously wouldn't say what he was thinking: Even if the three empires had reinforcements, there were still too few experts. The Empire's side was already moving at full speed. It was obvious that this operation was bound to fail. His current goal was to kill Ashlow. As long as he died... He would obtain everything he wanted. These men wouldn't be able to live anymore, but he absolutely couldn't tell them now. As he thought, he once again tightly gripped the scroll in his hand.
Just like that, both sides had ulterior motives, and began today's hunt.
Ashlow and the others had been waiting at the palace entrance for a long time. Yat V did not say much. "This time, we will depend on everyone." After saying that, he waved his hand and set off.
Other than the emperor's carriage, there were also Linfei and Prios's carriages at the back. Qingtian and Pocot rode in front. The atmosphere in the carriage was different. Prios and the others were silently meditating. They were ready to fight the upcoming battle in their best condition.
Yat V and Catherine sat together, constantly reminding their precious daughter, "Child, in a while, no matter what happens, don't leave my side. Although you are very strong, you are still too small in front of such an enemy. You will never think of the power of a Holy Level. Besides, you must be one of their targets. You must not let Ashlow take part in this!" Catherine listened and nodded her head obediently.
Maya felt much more relaxed in the car. She actually fell asleep in her grandmother's arms! Linfei, on the other hand, quietly stroked her hair. After all, at her level, there was no need to prepare anymore.
Iron did not have this fortune. No horse would be able to move in front of him. Not to mention riding on it. He had no choice but to pretend to be a guard and follow Qingtian. He kept nagging, "Humph! If you didn't promise me that you would take me to eat all the good things in the city, I wouldn't be so angry. I, the dignified Colossal Dragon race, still need to pretend to be a guard and follow behind you! "
Qingtian, who was listening on the horse, was extremely happy. "Brother, who asked you to not be able to ride a horse? Stop complaining. After I'm done with this, I can't bring you to eat! Hahahaha. "
The group of people walked towards the outskirts of the hunting grounds in a grandiose manner.
