Chapter 142: Calero's Escape
"This is a map I just got a few days ago, and it has the coat of arms of Hades, so I suspect that this map may be related to the disappearance of Hades." Five
After receiving the map, Kamikaze studied it carefully, and then returned it to Ace: "Okay, go ahead, people in the world have been arguing for decades about the inexplicable disappearance of Hades, and if you really find any clues, you may really be able to solve this puzzle that has plagued the world for years."
Ace nodded: "This time, I will try my best to improve my strength."
Kamikaze's expression did not change in the slightest. He just said "yes".
For his son, kamikaze is still very reassuring. After going through many things, Ace has grown up a lot.
Now that Ace has come up with the idea of going out to train, the kamikaze will not hinder his steps.
However, after a moment's hesitation, Kamikaze couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure you don't need me to accompany you?"
Ace shook his head and said, "No. Even if I do encounter any danger, I should be able to leave safely."
Hearing this, kamikaze didn't say anything.
The father and son were silent for a long time, and Ace was the first to break the deadlock: "Father, I don't know when this long trip will come back, it may be half a year or two or three years, I'm not sure of the time."
"Well, you don't have to worry, just go with confidence, as long as you can return safely." There is still no objection to the kamikaze.
With his father's consent, Ace naturally felt very comfortable.
But now it seems that the dwarven kingdom is not a peaceful place. He only hoped that his father would be safe here when he left.
However, after much reflection, Ace realized that his father was already a Templar in strength. The entire Mandala Continent rarely threatened him, so Ace's heart was much calmer.
But before that, he had been waiting for a breakthrough.
Lately, he has felt that the swirl in his abdomen seems to be becoming more and more unstable. It seems that it is possible to successfully enter the realm of the Magister at any time.
In this way, time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, summer was over. However, Ace still failed to enter the realm of the mage, which made him gradually doubt whether he had really reached the threshold of the realm of the mage.
One summer night, Ace came to a high platform, where few people stepped on it as usual. Looking at the dwarven kingdom under the night sky, Ace was at a loss.
His recent magic practice has been completely at a bottleneck, which also makes him feel a little irritated.
Ace took a deep breath, trying to get rid of the messy thoughts in his mind, and then sat on the edge of the platform, quietly admiring the wonderful night view.
As Ace looked around, a sudden change appeared in the mysterious vortex of his abdomen.
Ace could feel the whirlpool spinning faster and faster, and the dark elemental in his body getting faster and faster.
It didn't take long for him to feel a strong feeling of dry heat, and his whole body was soon soaked with sweat.
Ace knew that he was about to break through, but the timing of the breakthrough came so suddenly, he was completely unprepared.
He sat cross-legged and quickly entered a meditative state.
When he closed his eyes, he could deeply feel that in addition to the mysterious swirl in his abdomen, the sun and moon lines in the center of his eyebrows had also changed.
He could see inside, the sun and moon lines on his forehead began to cool at this time, and the smell released by the imprint quickly faded away from Ace's hot and dry body, replaced by a sense of comfort.
Ace was a little helpless. He didn't know why. It seems that every breakthrough made in the past has been made without preparation, sometimes even at critical moments of life and death.
I don't know why!
It was a cool summer night.
After entering September, the original heat seems to have eased a lot.
Especially in the northwestern part of the empire in New Delhi, the cool breeze at night here can feel a little chilly.
On this deserted path, a figure is heading north. He was wearing a pale yellow robe with a cane nearly two meters behind him. At the top of the staff is a high-grade Holy Light Magic Stone.
Look at the young mage's face again,
He was handsome and tired. The long journey had tired his eyes a little, and his robes were covered in dust. However, he didn't care about this and just wanted to enter the Slime family's territory as soon as possible.
This young down-and-out teenager is none other than Calero Robert, the only hope for the Robert family now.
After the battle of the Imperial Capital, Calero was sent away directly by the old housekeeper of the family.
Calero has always believed that the old butler will only serve the interests of the Robert family and will never care about his life.
But in the end, the butler became his savior, something Calero never imagined.
Along the way, Calero was also chased a few times. At one point, he was on the verge of life and death, and finally managed to escape with the last scroll of wind magic on his body.
He didn't expect his family to give so much for the empire, but in the end the new king would destroy the Robert family.
This time, if the old butler hadn't guessed in advance and planned to send him out of the city, he might have died in Sun City.
He really wanted to know what the "rogue" king would rely on to maintain his rule after losing the support of the Robert family?
What he didn't expect was that the new king "valued" him so much that he sent dozens of Magister-level killers to hunt him down.
Along the way, Calero was so worried that he didn't dare to stop at all, and came directly to the border of the Slime family's territory.
He knew that only the Slime family could provide him with a place to live, and that the rest of the empire was already under the control of the new king.
Calero took the last alchemy pill to replenish his strength, then took a deep breath and continued to run north. He wanted to go to the Slime family's manor before dawn.
In fact, after fleeing all the way, Calero's physical strength was on the verge of collapse, and he had to rely on the alchemical medicine he carried with him and the magic of the Holy Light Wizard to survive until now.
However, by this time, he was exhausted. If he encounters the killer who pursues him again at this time, he will have no way to escape.
Just as he was just a few miles away from the border, a merciless laugh rang out behind him.
"You see, the once pampered Son of Heaven is now more downcast than a wild dog!"
"Yes! I remember how proud he was when he was in the army, and it's so sad to be in such a situation now!"
At the same time, there were many horses' hooves running from behind.
At this point, Calero completely collapsed and saw that he was about to enter the border, but at the last moment, he was chased by this group of ruthless killers.
Calero was so disappointed that he soon stopped running north. Because he knew that as long as the other party wanted to kill him wholeheartedly, even if he tried his best, he would not be able to successfully reach the area where the slime was located.
After all, there is still a certain distance at this time.
Seeing Calero stop suddenly, someone behind him said mysteriously, "Why did you stop? You should keep running!"
Another scoffed, saying, "Even the most powerful wild dogs get tired."
A burst of laughter was heard.
Calero gasped and looked back at the powerful killers who had rushed in. His face was dark.
But he instinctively removed the Staff of Light, which had been with him for years.
"What? Do you still want to die? It's useless. You're just a high-level magician. Check us out. Which one is not Magister-level strength? Just you? Not enough to hurt us!"
As soon as he finished saying this, a burst of laughter erupted.
Calero looked at those people coldly, took a deep breath, and said coldly, "When the Robert family is strong, who of you is not as loyal to our family as dogs? Now that you've finally shown your true colors, you're a bunch of hypocrites!"
Hearing this, some people in the crowd were naturally very unhappy. A tall and thin old man came out of the crowd and said coldly to Calero, "Don't you know how many disgraceful things the Robert family has done in recent years? Suppressing other families, excluding dissidents, and violating the laws of the Empire, really, your family's crimes can be said to be three days and three nights!"
Another said, "Don't follow
This sinner has wasted his strength, kill him quickly so they can go back!"
Many agree.
A strong man was the first to impatiently say, "Have you said enough, I can't wait!" As soon as he finished speaking, the man rushed to Calero with a large axe.
Naturally, this man did not want to miss out on the merits in front of him.
When others see that they are being taken advantage of, they immediately feel anxious and jump forward, all trying to seize the opportunity.
Calero watched as many killers rushed in front of him. At this time, he suddenly lost all fighting spirit. He sighed, then closed his eyes.
He knew that even if he continued to resist, he would not be able to defeat so many Magisters.
Moreover, the days of the Great Escape also made him feel physically and mentally exhausted, and he no longer had the strength to continue fighting to the end. Maybe accepting the ending as he is now will make him feel a little better. At the last minute, he chose to give up.
But just as the strong man with a huge axe was about to cut off Calero's head, a man blocked Calero like lightning.
The man pushed Calero away and shouted, "Get out!"
At the same time, the man's long sword blocked the strongman's axe.
Calero only felt the force push him out, and his body was like an arrow, retreating backwards.
When it landed, Calero was very stable. One can imagine how precise this man's control of force was!
"Rosk! I didn't expect you to be a traitor too!"
"Bastard, you're crazy! How dare you let the fugitives go!"
......
Faced with many questions from his "companions", Rosk did not give any response. He just turned his face to Calero and said, "Find a way to tell the deputy head kamikaze that the lion hatchling project has been successfully completed!"
After hesitating for a moment, Calero gritted his teeth and continued to run north.
Behind him came the sound of fierce fighting.
After being rescued by Roske, Calero did not hesitate to continue running north.
At this moment, he will not choose to give up, nor can he choose to give up, because Rosk will die at the hands of his pursuers in order to save himself.
Before Roske's death, he also specifically asked Calero to deliver a message to the kamikaze.
As for the meaning of the phrase "Project Lion Cubs successfully completed", he did not know.
However, Calero now has a mission. He had two lives in him, one of his own and the other of Rosk's.
At this point, Calero ran to the north with all his might. At this point, his legs were already unconscious, and he could only move forward by inertia.
After some time, Calero finally saw a stone tablet at the end of his vision, with the words "Slime Family Jurisdiction Boundary" engraved on it.
He knew it was supposed to be a border.
When his physical strength reached its limit, he finally saw a glimmer of hope.
He's here today. Even if he climbs, he must climb to the other side of the border.
Soon Calero ran to a river, the border of the stele was on the other side of the bridge.
He struggled to grasp the pier, gasped for breath, and continued to run towards the opposite side of the bridge.
But just as Calero was about to enter the border of Chongjiang, a figure smiled above his head, blocking his way.
Later, more people rushed here.
Calero is in a moment of despair. He was about to enter the border, but was suddenly caught by these killers.
What's more, Rosk's last words are not yet complete. How could he die here?
One of them lost his right arm. At this moment, the still bleeding magician rushed towards Calero. Without saying a word, he kicked Calero directly in the abdomen.
At this point, how could Calero withstand such a kick? He immediately fell backwards and fell heavily to the ground.
Calero's face flushed as his hands touched his chest. He had already reached his limit, his breathing was very bad, his breathing was very unstable. Now, without preparation, he was kicked hard and suddenly out of breath, it seems
It's going to suffocate.
But the mage who had lost an arm was heard roaring, "I'm going to tear you apart! If it weren't for you, how could I have lost an ear today!"
After that, the mage continued to charge towards Calero. Seeing that he was about to cast a spell, the others immediately stopped him.
"What's wrong, Sidler? Do you want to take credit?"
"That is, if you want to win the war feat, you should also ask us if we agree!"
For a while, the voice echoed.
"Are you all blind? I lost an ear today. Is it just for the sake of getting results?" The mage seemed furious.
"That's because your own strength is weak, and you've been captured by the traitor Roske. If we follow what you say, shouldn't we fight for this feat and write it on the body of the recently deceased Creo?" A paladin sneered.
It turned out that just now, Roth tried his best to gain Calero's escape time, but in the end he couldn't escape.
However, before he died, Roth also pulled a cushion called Creolet, and also cut off Hidler's ear.
While the people were arguing about the merits in front of them, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance.
The people turned their heads and saw a group of cavalry running neatly towards the open road ahead.
Behind the cavalry, there was a luxurious carriage with a very conspicuous family emblem, which was the emblem of the Slime family.
Soon the cavalry came to the bridge.
Looking at the luxurious carriage sent by the old king, the pursuers couldn't help but have a sense of foreboding.
After the carriage stopped, a middle-aged woman in a red robe, supported by a beautiful girl, slowly got out of the carriage.
This middle-aged woman is none other than Al Slime, the current patriarch of the Slime family, and the beautiful girl is naturally Kara.
Al came to the people and said expressionlessly, "How lively! I didn't know that you came here in such a large formation, it doesn't seem to be in accordance with the laws of the Empire."
Then Al looked at Kara and asked, "Kara, what does the Imperial Law say?"
"Article 152 of the Imperial Law stipulates that anyone who enters the territory of the Imperial nobility with more than 20 soldiers must notify the nobles in advance or face the judgment of the law," Kara replied.
Al smiled softly and looked at the people, "Did you hear that? I don't think I received your application!"
Severed Arm Hidler snorted coldly, "Archmage El, we don't seem to have set foot in your territory, do we?"
The mage, Hidler, had some contact with Al while he was in the army. Now that Aier has resigned as commander-in-chief of the imperial army, Hiddler is naturally reluctant to give her face.
Moreover, they passed through so many provinces along the way, and none of the nobles had an opinion about it, because the nobles knew that these people worked for the new king and would not be judged.
Moreover, many of the laws of the empire were just empty words. Not many people would take it seriously, but Eyre insisted on doing so, which was an offense to royalty.
Al smiled and said nothing. Then she walked up to Calero and dragged him over. Calero stumbles into the borders of the Slime family's territory.
"You!" When Hidler saw all this, he trembled with anger.
Al was still smiling: "Everyone, if you want to enter the territory of the Slime family, please submit a notice first, otherwise you won't be able to pass through here!"
Taking advantage of Elle's words in front of her, Kara quietly walked up to Calero, lowered his voice, and said, "Hurry up!"
Calero was about to speak, but Kara shook her head at him, an anxious look in her eyes. He immediately grasped the point.
Calero stood up and continued north.
As soon as the pursuers saw this, they immediately became worried. They were about to catch up, but Al shouted, "I see who dare!"
After all, Aier was the commander of the regiment. Although she has resigned, she is still famous after all. Coupled with the strength of her great magician, everyone did not dare to act rashly.
Of course, these people don't know at all
Doire has lost all his magic and has become a person whose body is weaker than the average person.
However, he snorted coldly and said, "Ayr, you have not been the commander of the army for a long time, and you are not qualified to order us, this time we are hunting down the fugitives according to the king's orders, but you are buying time for the fugitives, do you want to become a traitor to the empire?"
Al shook his head and said, "Which eye did you see me covering the fugitives? The king did not give me any order to hunt down the fugitives. At best, I didn't help you hunt them down. Why did I become a traitor?"
"Besides, I'm just arguing with you about the laws of the Empire. There is no other meaning at all. If you have dozens of people who want to enter the territory of the Slime family, please take out your application. As long as the above agrees, you can enter my territory."
However, these killers in charge of the hunt for Calero did not prepare advance notification documents, and they could not immediately write them down in the wilderness.
In their opinion, it was Aier who deliberately made things difficult.
"El, aren't you afraid that we'll go back and tell Your Majesty that you're helping the fugitives escape?" Hidler asked angrily.
Al frowned, "How many times have I said that? I'm just checking your notification documents according to the laws of the Empire. If not, be prepared to come back to me!"
"And, if you want to tell the king, I have no objection. According to you, the will of the king is above everything and above the laws of the empire, right? The king can ignore the laws of the empire and do whatever he wants, right?"
After saying these words, Al stared at Hiddler coldly.
Where does Hiddler dare to speak now? If he really nodded, he would really be dead.
You know, in recent years, the New Delhi Empire has paid more and more attention to the binding role of imperial laws, especially those involving the nobility and royalty, which are often mentioned by the Imperial Legislative Society.
However, many people rarely mention some laws that have little effect, such as the one Kara just mentioned. Few people pay attention to this law.
Now, the new king, Terrella, has just ascended to the throne of king, and his ass is not yet secure. If someone said that the king did not obey or ignored the laws of the empire, Terrella would be furious.
So, when Aier asked, how could Hidler nod his head so easily.
Hiddler was unsure, but he was still a little reluctant. After thinking for a moment, he continued, "Ayr, your fiefs have been granted by His Majesty the King. Now the fugitives have fled to your land. Shouldn't you be arrested?"
Al replied, "First of all, I didn't receive a wanted warrant from the Empire, so I can't tell if Calero is a fugitive or not. Secondly, even if he is a fugitive, I am not obligated to pursue him until I receive an order from the Empire."
"He's a fugitive!" Hidler yelled.
Ai'er was in a stable mood and said calmly, "I didn't stop you from hunting down the so-called fugitives, I just wanted to get your application!"
Hiedler was already trembling with rage.
Of those who pursued Calero, only Hiedler dared to stand up to the former military commander of the Reich. The others were afraid of Aier's strength and did not dare to speak.
After all, when the archbishop died and the kamikaze fled, they all thought that Al should be the most powerful man in the New Delhi Empire.
Watching Calero disappear from view, Hiedler was almost blown up.
"Okay, wait for me!" Hidler said, pointing at Ayr.
"Well, I'm here waiting for your application. I'm not going anywhere!" With that, Aier turned directly to the carriage, leaving only a group of people completely stunned.
After a long time, Hiddler said angrily, "What are you waiting for? Prepare your application now!"
At this point, almost everyone began to follow Hidler's instructions.
After all, no one dared to stand up and negotiate face-to-face with Aier except him.
When she returned to the carriage, Al couldn't help but take a deep breath and relax a lot.
"Good thing they can see it!" Al whispered to himself.
Kara frowned and asked, "What are we going to do next?" Help Calero find his way out."
Al calmed her emotions, "No, I've already arranged it in advance. As soon as he arrives near our family's estate, someone will come to pick him up."
