Chapter Twenty-Four: Bad News Arrives
Two days later, far away in the mage city, little Lori was lying panting on the floor of the courtyard.
Although the temperature in the early morning was not terrible, she was sweating profusely, the wet fabric clung to her skin and outlined a wonderful curve, and her breasts rose and fell violently with the sound of breathing.
Although she has grown a lot after fighting with Yuhime, Leah is still unlikely to be the opponent of the Great Sage at this time.
"Honestly, your sense of battle is beyond my expectations. β
During this time, Hanufain has been engaged in actual combat with Leah. Although the mage's vocation is to study magic, for the current little Lori, the skills of combat are even more indispensable.
"No...... This is not enough, if you face Yuhime in such a state, you will be killed if you can't even resist. β
Leah shook her head, although she did grow through successive battles, but the opponent was a BUG-level character, if she couldn't reach the level of Hanufain, no, if she couldn't surpass Hanufain, the battle with Yuhime would only be a joke.
"Of course I know this, the battle during this time is just to understand your current level. To be honest, if the opponent is the Daughter of Chaos, this kind of training will be useless even if it is done for another hundred years.
So I think it's time for the next phase of training as well. β
The Great Sage nodded.
"The next stage?"
Little Lori tilted her head.
"Speaking of which, how much do you know about the taboos in the Evette continent?"
Hanufaya asked.
The other party's words made Xiao Lori's face solemn. Taboo, one of the few bottom lines in this world that must not be violated.
The first taboo: betrayal of the goddess. Once deceived by evil gods and abandoned their original beliefs, the druids who defected to Yuhime are the best examples. They were eventually banished from their homes and deprived of their race. The curse of blood and soul, exiles on the road.
The second taboo: the destruction of souls. It was a taboo that Salman had violated when he assassinated Leah. By way of burning the soul. It can enable the weak to gain strength beyond the strong in a short instant. However, this is not allowed, and once exposed, it is enough to be destroyed. No, in history, there have even been cases of extermination for violating the second taboo.
"Yes, betraying the Goddess and destroying souls are taboos that must not be violated, the former means enmity against the world, and the latter represents the destruction of the very source of a life. β
After listening to Leah's answer, Hanufain nodded in satisfaction. However. Are these really the only taboos?
"Actually, in addition to this, there is a third taboo. β
"The third taboo!?"
Little Lori's eyes widened. For she saw a bouquet of flowers appear in the hand of the Great Sage, and it was a flower that should not existβthe Flower of Chaos, Valoret.
"The so-called third taboo refers to contact with chaos. β
The Great Sage held the flower up to her eyes and said......
"Haaa......"
Meanwhile, Rowan stood in front of the empty gate, lazily snorting Hache.
After joining Randall with Jessica. Refusing to join the Order for personal reasons, he is currently serving in an infantry unit. So the job of guarding the gate naturally fell on his head.
"Cut, isn't it time for a shift change?"
Looking at the height of the sun, Rowan smacked his tongue dissatisfied, because there was forging work to be done yesterday. He was busy until late, and now he can't wait to get a good night's sleep.
However, there are times. The more you look forward to resting, the more work keeps coming to you.
"Hey, who are you!?"
Rowan noticed someone walking this way not far away.
It was a young girl. Red hair, dressed in armor. With a weapon on his back, the stains on his face were dried blood, and the rusty stench could be smelled from afar.
"Well, I don't care who you are, just stand there and don't move, or you'll wait to be axed. β
Faced with such a suspicious figure no matter how you look at it, Rowan decisively pulled out the double axe on his waist.
"I am Leona Angelica, a former knight of the Randall Iron Wing Order, and I request to see Princess Isabella. There is very urgent information!"
The girl was none other than Leona, and there was urgency in her voice.
"Cut, knight again. Come with me, the princess is not here, but I can take you to Lord Karen. β
Rowan scratched his hair, the other party was a completely suspicious figure to him, but the princess was indeed not here, and if she was taken to see Kalian, there should be no problem.
"Thanks, then please!"
As if afraid of rejection, the girl showed a relaxed expression after hearing his words.
It didn't take long to get to the countess's room, and in addition to Karen, Alec was actually there, and the two of them saw Leona's arrival with an expression of disbelief on their faces.
"Poor boy, what the hell is going on!?"
Karene quickly stood up and walked over to help the crumbling girl. Her heart was pounding, and even her soul was tense, and her long experience had taught her that if a knight appeared in front of you like this, something big had happened!
"Rebellion! It's a rebellion! Lord Kalian! Bishop Albin has started a rebellion!"
Leona's words exploded like a bomb in the room.
"Alec! go to the workshop and bring the princess back immediately!"
"Yes!"
"Rowan! go find Leah! immediately!"
"Understood!"
The two took orders and set off for their respective destinations.
"Well, you're here alone. What about Lord Arman, what happened to Duke Arman and his Knights?"
Karen was desperate to know about the rebellion, but before that she noticed something very important - it was not wise to send only one knight for such important news. If she guessed correctly, I'm afraid the Iron Wing Knights have already suffered a misfortune.
"Ah...... Lord Arman, no, Arman Britt and the Iron Wing Knights have also betrayed the kingdom of Randall!"
Leona's voice was as laborious as it was squeezing out of her body, and her heart was dripping with blood whenever she talked about it.
"Poor child, poor child, it's hard for you. You are the savior of the kingdom, and on behalf of the princess and everyone here, I thank you for bringing us such important news!"
Leona's words once again refreshed the bottom line of despair in Kalian's heart.
"I know you're sad, but I'm still going to force you, yes, I beg your pardon, I'm going to force you, even if you're so tired that you're about to pass out, you have to tell me before you faint - what the hell happened!?"
The Salman Holy Cult is still eyeing the Divine Sect, and at this juncture, two of the three nobles have rebelled, and the fact that Leah is the goddess of time and space is easier to believe than the news brought by Leona.
However, no one noticed that while Karen was talking to Leona, Rowan, who was striding down the hallway, froze in his footsteps because of this simple conversation. (To be continued......)
