Chapter 246: The Iron-Leaf Tree, Never Withers (1)

Every day, Xavier sleeps soundly. Despite this, Xavier could not remember how many days he had been imprisoned. He guessed that today was January 29. However, there is one thing that he is well aware of.

Now, there are dark clouds outside. Xavier lay on the wooden bed, counting the cracks in the beam. He's not using this hypnotism, he's calculating when something will happen. The cracks were like different events, and what he was waiting for was a crucial event that would break the beam. Was that one thing triggered? He wondered, but he didn't plan to use the Afterlife Stone.

"One, two...... Six...... Wait, why are there so many cracks? Come on, I don't want this long-lost beam to break...... Because it will concern a lot of people, not just me. Xavier muttered to himself.

After a burst of bells, thunder and lightning and shouts. Next, Xavier saw his servant Krel.

"I've been waiting here for a long time, what's going on outside?" Xavier hurriedly got up.

Covered in dust, Krell felt like he had just come out of a sealed tunnel. He was short of breath and opened the door with the key. The rusty cell key made him hate, because Evan had kept it in a drawer in his bedroom along with the letter informing him of Xavier's release, and he often opened the drawer to look through his notes, but only today did he see the key and the letter exist.

"Don't you see, sir, the guards of the dungeon have all run out into the streets to join the battle. Krell said. He wanted to complain about the lack of light in his eyes, but when he saw Xavier, he happily forgot about it.

"Of course I know, but where are we going? What about the civilians in the city? Where have they gone?" asked Xavier, worried.

Seeing that Krell was in a daze, Xavier crawled to the edge of the bed near the wall to fetch the staff covered by the burlap blanket.

"Sir, why is your staff here?" wondered Krell.

Krell sensed that something was wrong, but he didn't understand what was going on, because all the guys who could hurt people would be placed in the prison guard's room, from the moment they were held here.

"There's more to you than you can figure out, but it's more than that, and we don't have time to stay here. Keep up with me, if you can't even keep up with an old man, then you'll have to retire early. Xavier said solemnly.

"Don't even think about it, I'm going to follow you for the rest of my life. You are the light that illuminates my life. Krell complained. Then, he saw Xavier walk out the door with steady steps.

"Master, this is really a god, you are simply a few years younger...... Well, no, it's really a lot younger. Krell flattered. He scrambled himself, slapped the sword at his waist, and followed.

"There is no shortage of loyal people in Mochizuki City, and although those loyal trees are gradually swallowed up by the Iron Leaf Forest, they still grow stubbornly, and even if the sun is taken away, they will not fall. Krel, you've got to keep up. Xavier nagged.

Xavier swung his staff, and the locked half-iron door of the cell fell straight to the ground. Then, a golden glow illuminated the exit of the prison. In fact, Xavier could not be stopped by the closed door of the cell. If the guards were to prevent Xavier from escaping, they would not be able to do anything about Xavier, who was bent on leaving. So, earlier, it was Xavier who didn't want to leave here.

"Sir, the civilians you care about have been evacuated one after another—except for the soldiers, but the entire city!" Krell explained.

"Does that include the Rocky Warband?" Xavier weighed. Mochizuki Castle's strength was not enough to withstand the siege of the two Orderly Legions, and it was when the power of the moon god was weakened.

Krell was silent as he saw the blue star being guillotined.

"Evan played a big card, but how come I don't remember that he likes to play poker?" Xavier turned his head, pretending to be puzzled.

The Death Stone always helps Xavier when he encounters problems, and from the moment he stops instilling magic into the Luna Staff, Xavier is accumulating magic and waiting for the prison door to open.

"My lord, I still don't understand, is there any secret here?" said Krell. He gave way to a knight who was about to go to the front and told them to pay attention to etiquette.

"My dear Krel, now is not the time for etiquette. As for secrets, you have to think with your own head, and you don't have to listen to something to understand something. Some things are just appearances, can you see clearly?" Xavier spoke quickly.

Soon, Xavier and Krell arrived at a camp in the city, a temporarily requisitioned tavern, with an open field in front of it, now occupied by the horses. Xavier took one by the hand and pointed to the caretaker with his brooch, the gold Bloodblade Sword Insignia, something only the important ministers of the Kingdom of Alex possessed.

The guard immediately let go of the reins and gave way to Xavier.

"Your Excellency, this is not a good place to go, and I have been seeing soldiers rushing north to support me from dark until now. Said the soldier watching the horse.

"Dangerous place, we just need to go there, and now!" Xavier stepped on the stirrup, and spurred the white warhorse, which looked full of energy.

"Wait, sir!" cried Krell.

Krell had to keep up. According to the plan, he planned to rescue Xavier and leave the evacuation passage with the Holy Mage. According to Xavier's temper, he will definitely defend the city with Evan, of course he knows.

"In a daze, obsessed with the appearance of things...... I said, Krel, you need to reflect on it. You've been with me for so long, and you should know something that no one else can understand. Xavier admonished.

Along the way, Xavier did not forget to criticize Krell, and the chatter was endless. However, it didn't delay Xavier from thinking about business. What about Silver? He's going to come here for the Golden Covenant. Xavier thought of this, and said no more.

Further on, there is the North Gate. Knights, soldiers, and civilians who volunteered to fight lay in the streets. And the soldiers and puppets of the Order Clan were no better, at least they couldn't knock Evan down, so they had to sneak in.

When he found Evan, Xavier shouted, "Evan, where are we waiting? Has he arrived?"

"Shouldn't you have left the passage with Krel, didn't he tell you what I wrote?" said Evan disappointed.

"Look at you, bloodstained. The incantations on the armor are all obscured, have you memorized them? Don't tell me, you don't give a damn. Xavier laughed and dismounted.

Evan wiped the sweat that almost ran into the corners of his eyes, and looked at Xavier. Xavier wasn't far behind, as he had been confronted by the orderly soldiers who had snuck into the city. Now, they are the same, gray-faced, and bloodstained red.

"It's overcast, and it's going to get dark soon. Those demons love to take advantage of the darkness. I just hope that the owner of this letter did not deceive us. Evan said.

"It was a battle with no chance of winning, with enemies on all sides, and we were outnumbered. To the west is Mayne, and to the north is the Emerald City, which is ruled by a puppet of the Order Clan......" Xavier explained halfway.

"I've done what I planned, and that's what we agreed on from the beginning. Evan replied.

"What about Job, what have you done to him?" Xavier asked.

Evan supported the magical barrier in front of him with his left hand, then swung his sword with his right hand. Immediately, a platoon of able-bodied orderly soldiers was overthrown. After a little respite, Evan smiled lightly: "Job is fine, I asked him to guard the south gate, you know what I mean." ”

Evan looks confident, something Xavier has always been relieved of. But the Mochizuki Sword, which was not fully filled with magical power, made Xavier worried.

For Evan, Silver is tricky now. If Xavier and Evan join forces, and Xhachary of the Thundering Sword, they may not have a certain chance of winning. Besides, Silver has dark magic because of Luna.

"Where is he? The key people we need. Xavier asked with a frown.

"I'm sorry that he hasn't arrived yet, and our men haven't returned!, and today, he's suddenly attacked," Evan shook his head, "but there's one thing that will make you happy - it's just that I can't tell you yet." ”

The poor messenger had already been slain by Mayne's men. Luckily, the letter that Evan was sending was a request for Lord Bard of the Meritorious Order to attack the City of Miracles, just like the last time he rescued Auraya - the City of Miracles was the last place the Dragon Empire wanted to lose. As for Bard, he was already attacking the City of Miracles, still working with Silver's men and horses, just as Mayne's legions arrived at Mochizuki City.

At this point, Xavier thought of something else. He had never been able to fully trust the person who wrote to Evan, because he was a lawmaker.

Making a deal with demons is not what Xavier likes, so he gives all the options to Evan, wanting to exchange it for Evan's growth. You have to make your apprentices strong in order to face future troubles. The Austin brothers betrayed, Yura betrayed, and even Mayne...... What else will happen? Or, who will be the next betrayer?

"Unfortunately, we are all human beings, and there are still many thorny problems to face. Xavier sighed.

"We are all human beings, and we enjoy it. Joy, anger and sorrow, the gods can't understand. Gloriy Carlos must have thought so. Evan added.

Suddenly, an iron-leaved tree was thrown into the city by the roots, and it was firmly planted in the masonry floor.

"Oh my God, look! what is that? that tall thing is coming this way!" shouted the knight, who was bleeding with Evan. He was stunned, just like when he first set foot on the battlefield to defend his homeland.

"How did this tree fly here, and what about our blue star?" asked Xavier.

"Blue Star...... "Krell looked at the Iron Tree that landed on the ground with a look of horror on his face, and then whispered, "Guillotine...... Master, he was ...... by Master Evan"

"What?, Krell, what did you just mutter?" Xavier asked solemnly.
