Chapter 278: Star Palace and Battle

"It's over...... Huh?" Unfortunately, when the boy originally thought that the victory was decided, and a sword drop could end Echo's life, he found that what he had slashed was nothing more than a splash...... The boy quickly reacted that what he had slashed was nothing more than a water body.

However, to his surprise, Eco did not take advantage of this time to attack him, but floated in the air at a distance from the boy, and praised the boy: "Your sword dance is very good, beautiful and practical."

"......?" What's the situation, the teenager said that the brain is a little insufficient...... When did you run to where?

"What ......? How did you get there, and how did you get there!?" The boy couldn't figure it out, so he simply asked, although the boy didn't really think that Eco would answer the question honestly.

But to the boy's surprise, Eco actually answered the question.

Eco replied, "Just as you were using the sword dance to pull my magical beast condensed by the water element, the water body was just one of the most basic spells for any water mage with a certain level of achievement, and for the wind mage, moving quietly was not a difficult problem."

"...... I see, I see." The young man was stunned for a moment after hearing Eco's answer, and then reacted and said in a loud voice, and Eco also asked a question, "So, what is your name, and what should I call you?"

"My name is Zhao Xi Ye?" The boy replied, and then asked, "Why? Isn't it asking me which force I come from?

"Well, it's really not necessary." Once again, to the boy's surprise, Eco's answer this time was, Eco's tone made it impossible for the boy to tell clearly, Eco gave up asking because he knew that something could not be done, or was he no longer interested in this question, but the boy did not intend to investigate the reason why Eco did not ask any more, but changed a question, "What about your name, and how should I call you next?"

"My name is Fael Gandy." Eco lied without changing his face and heartbeat, until the first headmaster Alpha who was watching without discipline directly squirted out a mouthful of water.

"Ahem, ahem...... Children are really naughty...... Ahaha." Alpha had to smile bitterly, the pseudonym in the Eco newspaper is basically the same as Alpha's real name.

But in fact, Eco just casually said a name, but he didn't mean to deliberately throw the black cauldron to Alpha.

Anyway, it's a fake identity right now, that's for sure.

And what Xiye didn't understand, the reason why Eco suddenly seemed to be uninterested in his background was not that Eco was not interested or that he had given up asking, but that Eco already knew the answer to this question.

--In fact, the reason why Eco rushed out so rashly to stand in front of Xiye and his party and fight with Xiye.It happened that Eco had asked Alpha about Xiye's background forces before the war.However, Alpha laughed and beat him, so Eco simply jumped out.Anyway, Eco knew that Alpha would not let himself be injured by Yanzhòng.And about the exploration of the other party's background forces, in fact, Eco himself was not so enthusiastic.

For example, right now, after the first round of the two of them, Eco actually left a clone near the place where the two fought for the first time; It's just that because of the addition of the Memory Zài Elimination Technique at the same time, which weakens the existence of the doppelganger, and the second attack that Eco deliberately launched at that time in order to improve the Buddha's sense of existence, the second attack on the deity that was added to the Buddha's sense of existence has been increased, so that Xi Ye ignores the Echo clone that is hidden on the side - yes, that's right, when Xi Ye didn't know it, Eco was ready to "divert the tiger from the mountain" and waited for Xi Ye to jump into the pit.

In fact, if it weren't for ensuring that his combat power would not be killed in seconds and that someone around him would take care of him, Eco would never have suddenly fought with Xiye.

However, these small means can hide the mysterious Xiye of the authorities and the other few people who have not seen through Ike's ability at all, but they must not be able to hide the clear and powerful Alpha from the bystanders, so Alpha will soon be able to think of it, even if he doesn't tell Echo the answer to this question, with Ike's wisdom and military superiority, he can quickly get the answer to the question from Cyris.

Therefore, as a last resort, when the option of "destroying Ike's doppelganger with a black hand" was inappropriate, Alpha simply took the initiative to tell Eco the answer.

So...... At this time, Eco already knew that the backstage of Mr. Cyrus, the richest man in the world, was the origin of Zhao Xi Ye Ning...... To be honest, Eco was very surprised when he got this answer, although if he thought about it, he was able to accept it very quickly.

So, who is this mysterious power behind Cyreth and Zhaoxiye?

That's right...... According to Alpha, this mysterious force behind Cyrus and Zhaoxi Night is the Star Palace, a great force that has a unique status in the world (astrology, the number one in the destiny system).

This answer is very scary, because it is the Star Palace, but it is also very convincing. After all, the sacrifices and guards of the Star Palace are still people, and they all need food, housing, clothes and other living materials, but the people of the Star Palace basically do not do business themselves. The guards are trying to improve their combat power to protect the sacrifices.

So, how do you get the living materials? Of course, you let others make money for yourself, and on the other hand, this kind of thing with the powerful Star Palace as your umbrella is not something that ordinary businessmen want to refuse...... Therefore, the merchants got the Star Palace as a protective umbrella, accepted some behavioral norms and moral constraints from the Star Palace, and then enjoyed the protection.

"By the way, there's another question that makes me curious." Eco said.

"What?" Zhao Xiye asked.

"You're really a boy, your sword dance is beautiful—mostly feminine, so I can't help but be curious." Eco continued.

"...... I'm a boy indeed." After hearing Eco's question, Zhao Xiye smiled bitterly after a short silence, "This sword dance is not my own original move, although there are not many people who can learn it, but I am fortunate to be able to learn it...... As for the feminine softness of this sword dance you mentioned, there is no way to do it, because nine out of ten of the original creators of this sword dance and the predecessors who carried it forward are women."

"I see......" Eco nodded, and then added, "Is pranayama done?

"Hmph, that's exactly what I want!" (To be continued)
