Chapter 391: The Apostle's Breath Reappears
The Gate of Vetaron
Su Yang and his entourage returned here under the escort of a knight squad from the Caesar Empire, and as soon as they arrived at the gate of the city, Su Yang saw a familiar figure from a distance.
"Menglan, I'm back......"
Before Su Yang finished speaking, Han Menglan, who had been standing at the city gate, rushed into his arms, and a little wet feeling came from his shoulder.
"I'm sorry to worry you. Su Yang said apologetically.
Han Menglan didn't speak, just hugged Su Yang tightly.
To be honest, when the Sky City collapsed just now, Han Menglan, who had been staying in Vetaron City, regretted it for the first time that she couldn't stay by Su Yang's side, and during the time she was waiting for Su Yang's news, Han Menglan felt that she was about to lose Su Yang several times. Fortunately, blessed by the gods, Su Yang finally returned safe and sound.
"Promise me that you will take me wherever you go in the future, I don't want to be separated from you again. Han Menglan said softly.
Su Yang, who heard Han Menglan say such a thing for the first time, blushed for no reason, and then wrapped his hands around Han Menglan's slender waist and said softly: "I promise you." ”
During the sweet time between the two, Wu Jing and Yaomu had already left here with great discernment, leaving space for the two of them.
The two hugged each other so tightly that time seemed to stop flowing at this moment.
......
Three days later
Three days after the sudden collapse of the Sky City, the Caesar Empire also issued a statement stating that the accident was due to the sudden loss of power of the Great Magic Array that maintained the operation of the ancient ruins of the Sky City, which led to the collapse of the Sky City. At the same time, the official of the Caesar Empire also expressed its deep apologies to the 100 contestants affected by this accident. As for when the tournament will restart, the Caesar Empire has not officially made a statement.
In view of the delay in the reopening of the competition, the participating teams of some forces took the initiative to withdraw from the competition to the Caesar Empire after consulting their own forces. After all, not all of the participating teams were like Su Yang's Blazing Academy, sending out students who were about to graduate.
And the official Caesar Empire can only express regret for this, and then send people to send these participating teams away from Vetaron.
As for Su Yang, it can be said that he has been living a lot of leisurely and carefree in the past few days, how comfortable he is and how comfortable he is, Han Menglan and Lilith, two beauties are by his side every day. When you're hungry, a beautiful woman gently hands you food, and when you're thirsty, a little Lori pours water.
But there are too many good days, and trouble or something will naturally come to the door.
On the sixth day after the collapse of Sky City, Edgar Seret Hainrich de Los, the second prince of the Caesar Empire, took the initiative to come to the door, but Edgar came this time to bring Su Yang good and bad news.
The bad news is that in the ruins of Sky City, Caesar Empire investigators have discovered a power very similar to the aura that permeates the Cave of Sorrows, which means that the Lord of Light, the builder of Sky City, is likely to be connected to an apostle. In the face of a strong man like the Apostle, the first thing that the Caesar Empire thought of was Su Yang, who had a prominent performance in the Battle of the Cave of Sorrow, so the Emperor Leon III personally ordered Su Yang to go to Caesar's Palace to discuss countermeasures.
As for the good news, the Caesar intelligence officer who threatened Su Yang with Lilith's life in order to get the magic sword Apophis in the Cave of Sorrow was found out by Edgar. However, this matter was quietly done by Edgar himself. This information was also when he was in the Elwin defense line before, when Barn was chatting with Su Yang, Su Yang accidentally said that he had leaked his mouth.
Although he didn't know where Edgar got the news, Su Yang was very happy to accept Edgar's overtures. Regardless of Edgar's purpose for the time being, at least Su Yang can vent his grievances of being threatened in the Screaming Cave.
"Your Royal Highness Edgar, I have taken note of your kindness Su Yang, and I owe you a favor. Su Yang bowed slightly.
Seeing this, Edgar waved his hand again and again: "Brother Su Yang, you're polite, you are a friend of Barn, and Barn is my good brother, so your business is my business." In the future, you don't need to call your highness, that would be too raw, just call me Edgar. By the way, what are you going to do with this guy?"
With that, Edgar kicked a humanoid cloth bag on the ground, and a painful whine suddenly came out of the cloth bag.
Obviously, the guy in the cloth bag was gagged, but Su Yang could still tell from this whining sound that this guy was indeed the person who threatened him in the Screaming Cave before.
"It's... I haven't figured it out yet. Su Yang glanced at the cloth bag in embarrassment.
"Didn't think it through, or... Inconvenient to do it?" When he said this, Edgar deliberately lowered his voice, and then leaned in front of Su Yang, and made a gesture of silence with his left hand under his neck: "I'm very happy to help Brother Su Yang get rid of this damn guy for you." ”
"Okay, since Edgar you said so, and I don't say anything dark, I can't let this guy go, but after all, this is Vetaron, and you also know that my current identity is a little sensitive, and some things are not convenient to do. Su Yang's face was embarrassed.
Seeing this, Edgar looked suddenly enlightened: "It's easy to say, leave this matter to me." ”
With that, Edgar waved his hand, and four masked warriors fell from the sky, one carrying a corner of the cloth bag, and walked outside as soon as his body moved.
"Then thank you, Your Highness Edgar. Su Yang said with a smile.
"You're welcome, you're welcome. Edgar had a smile on his face as well.
......
A quarter of an hour later, Edgar said goodbye and left, because Su Yang was about to enter the palace to see Leon III, so it was inconvenient for Edgar to stay longer to delay Su Yang's time.
After Edgar left, the smile on Su Yang's face gradually faded. Edgar's purpose of showing him this is naturally self-evident, as early as before the start of the Pan-Continental Academy Competition, Su Yang learned from Barn in a casual chat that although the Caesar Emperor Leon III was shrewd, capable and ambitious, it was a pity that his physical condition was not very good. And Leon III has six biological children in addition to Lilith, and according to the laws of Caesar's Empire, the succession to the throne is naturally in order.
Therefore, as the second prince, Edgar has a great advantage in the succession to the throne, even if there is a first prince Carré Rosili Hainrich de Los at Edgar's head, but the first prince's mother family is a small nobleman and cannot help him much in the struggle for the throne. What's more, the character of Prince Carré is contrary to Leon III, Leon III has a domineering personality, but Prince Carré is a person with a weak personality, which makes Leon III very unaccustomed.
Therefore, in order to get more support in the future, Edgar began to woo some neutral imperial ministers and young handsomes without the knowledge of Leon III. Among them, Bahn of the Bashut family is one of Edgar's most successful examples.
And when Su Yang killed the Apostle Shylock, Edgar realized that Su Yang, a genius archmage from a civilian background, would be a powerful helper for him to compete for the throne in the future, so he worked hard to help Su Yang get rid of the intelligence officer who threatened him in the Cave of Sorrow.
Exchange a mouse who is already in the dark and will never see the sun for the favor of a genius. This deal, in Edgar's opinion, could not be more cost-effective.
However, Edgar is very smart, but Su Yang is not a fool, he naturally understands Edgar's purpose, but now he doesn't have so much effort to get involved in this mess of the Caesar Empire, he now wants to find out if the apostolic aura of Sky City is related to Bakar? At the same time, does the sudden collapse of Sky City also have something to do with Bakar? Or does it have something to do with Bakar's life.
......
Caesar's Palace
Emperor Leon III looked at a fragment of white armor in front of him with great concern, and it was this fragment that caused great unease to Leon III. For this reason, he specially invited the head of the Magic Guild, Fa Saint Shalan, to come over, and Sharan immediately judged after arriving at the palace that the unsettling aura on this armor fragment was the same as the aura emitted by the apostle Shylock in the Cave of Sorrow. In other words, this breath is also an apostolic breath, but it is not Shylock's.
"Lord Shalan, do you really think Su Yang will have a way to do this?" Leon III pointed to the fragment of armor, his tone full of suspicion.
Sharan smiled wryly, this was the third time Leon III had asked her the same question. But even so, Sha Lan replied softly: "Your Majesty, among the people I know, only Su Yang is the one who knows the most about this wonderful creature like the Apostle, so I think Su Yang should have the greatest say in this matter." ”
"Lord Sharan is right. ”
As soon as Sharan finished speaking, a faint voice came from the corner of the palace.
Neither Sharan nor Leon III showed any surprise at hearing this voice, for they had long been accustomed to this man's elusiveness.
"Mistress Alice, you're back. Leon III said in a slightly excited tone.
Coming out of the corner was a woman in a black robe whose face she couldn't see clearly. The woman bowed slightly and said, "Let Your Majesty worry, as soon as I received the prophecy about the appearance of the new apostle, I hurried back. ”
"What else did the prophecy say?"
The prophecy says that a young man from a land full of flames is the key to resolving this incident. Alice said slowly.
