The cheerful young swordsman could not help but feel a little embarrassed by the three pairs of eyes staring at him. His face turned red, and he scratched his head in surprise."Are you really an illusionist? If you hadn't stopped to wait for me, I wouldn't have been able to catch up.”
Although an illusionist's combat strength was strong, without the help of a magical beast, his physical strength was not as good as a swordsman who had been training all year round. Ao Feng was tall and thin, but his walking speed was faster than his running speed. This young seven-star great swordsman could not help but click his tongue in wonder.
A Great Swordsman and a Great Illusionist were of the same level. A Seven-star Great Swordsman and a Seven-sword Illusionist were almost the same in strength. Ao Feng could not completely ignore such a young expert.
"And you are?"
Hearing Ao Feng's question, the young man recovered from his surprise and smiled at Ao Feng in a friendly manner."Hello, my name is Luo Fei, the chief captain of the city defense army of the Sun Never Sets Fortress. I just heard news of a young Nine Sword Great Illusionist at the city gate, so I came to look for you.”
The young man's sunny and handsome smile made people feel comfortable for no reason. For a moment, even Ao Feng couldn't raise the thought of chasing him away. He asked jokingly,"And then? You can't be chasing me so far just to see a young great illusionist like me, right?”
"Hehe, that's part of the reason. I'm very curious about what kind of three-headed and six-armed monster that young Nine Sword Great Illusionist is. Who would have thought that he's really a beautiful young man now?”Luo Fei stared at Ao Feng as he spoke, revealing an appreciative smile. He blinked and returned to the main topic,""Actually, I'm here to deliver the invitation."
Ao Feng was amused by Luo Fei's cheerfulness, and a rare warmth appeared on his cool face. He asked curiously,""Invitation? Brother, are you sure? I've just arrived in this city and I'm unfamiliar with the place. I don't have any relatives. Who would send me an invitation?”
"That's right. This invitation is for you. It was personally sent by the City Lord.”Luo Fei patted Ao Feng's shoulder and took out a bright red invitation card from the leather pouch on his light armor. He handed it to her and said,""There's still half a month before the annual Magical Beast Siege. The City Lord has invited all the experts of the Fort to come and help. A Nine Sword Great Illusionist is naturally on our list of invitations. Brother, if you don't have anything else to do, you must not miss this annual large-scale event.”
Seeing Luo Fei's excited expression, Ao Feng was a little interested. Something that could make a Seven-star Great Swordsman talk about it with relish was definitely not an ordinary grand occasion.
Rubbing his nose and asking in detail, Ao Feng quickly understood this so-called Magical Beast siege.
A Magical Beast siege was a wave of Magical Beasts. Super large waves of Magical Beasts were led by the various Magical Beast Kings in the Sun Never Sets Forest. They would attack the Sun Never Sets Fortress once a year. The exact reason was unknown, but this rule had not changed for thousands of years. The main reason why the Sun Never Sets Fortress 'military defense was so strong was that it had to face the Magical Beast siege every year.
At this time of the year, the Sun Never Sets Fortress would invite the illusionary swordsmen of the fortress to participate in the offensive and defensive battles. Luo Fei was in charge of finding experts and sending out invitations. The invited experts were mainly to deal with the leaders of the magical beasts. Many of these leaders were nine-star magical beasts, and there were even some spiritual magical beasts. Experts were needed to deal with them.
Before the invasion of the magical beasts, the magical beasts in the Great Forest of the Unsetting Sun would have a month of rebellion. During this period of time, the activities of the magical beasts would increase frequently, and the appearance of high-star magical beasts would be frequent. Many adventurers and mercenary teams would also come from all directions to take advantage of the rebellion of the magical beasts to hunt in all directions. Finally, they would form a motley crew to participate in the magical beast invasion.
In the face of great danger, there were considerable benefits. High-Star Magical Beasts were not only Essence Crystals, but they also had wealth that could be sold. Of course, the premise was that one had to be able to kill them.
Ao Feng thought for a moment and agreed,""Alright, half a month isn't long, and my schedule isn't urgent. I wonder what kind of generous reward the City Lord has?”
There were very few opportunities to train in an army of thousands of horses, and there was a possibility of encountering a high-star magical beast. If the leading magical beast was a sacred beast, she might be able to take advantage of the chaos to form a contract. With Ao Feng's current strength, it was impossible for her to win against a sacred beast alone. However, the situation would be different if everyone swarmed up.
"Ha, brother, if you can join the battle, then we can fight side by side.”Hearing Ao Feng agree, Luo Fei's smile became even more cheerful.""The City Lord's reward will definitely satisfy you. The City Lord will announce it at the banquet on the eve of the siege. At that time, you can just bring the invitation card to attend the banquet.”
"There's no need to be so mysterious, right? Could it be that the City Lord was planning to marry his daughter to the warrior who had made the most contributions?”Hearing his tone, Ao Feng knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he shook his head and joked.
" The City Lord doesn't have any daughters, only a young master..." Luo Fei's gaze suddenly became a little strange as he said this. He rubbed his chin and examined Ao Feng's exquisite face, then smiled and said,""Brother, if you were a young girl, you could marry him. I believe he would definitely like you.”
"You're not him. How do you know he'll like it?”Ao Feng shrugged his shoulders lightly and did not take it to heart.""Alright, I've accepted the invitation. I still have something to do, so I'll leave first.”
" Eh?" Luo Fei was stunned." I don't even know your name. Brother, what's your name?"”
"My name is…Cloudracer." After thinking for a while, Ao Feng didn't tell her real name. After all, she didn't know if Qin Lian had used the Qin family's network to seek revenge on her. The Sun Never Sets Stronghold was a big city, so it was normal for the Qin family to have a stronghold. She didn't want to cause trouble.
"Zhuiyun, what a nice name. Brother, let's meet again later.”Luo Fei smiled brightly at Ao Feng again and blinked.""Also, let me remind you of something. If you don't want to be targeted by the nobles in the city and invited everywhere, it's better to take off your illusionist badge. Such a young Nine Sword Great Illusionist is really too eye-catching.”
Hearing his reminder, Ao Feng was immediately startled. That's right, he had revealed the strength of a Nine Sword Great Illusionist in the Qin Clan. This level was already quite rare. Adding on his age, he would probably be able to recognize it with just a little thought. Thinking till here, he could not help but have a few drops of cold sweat on his back. It seemed that her consideration was still not thorough enough.
"Thank you." Ao Feng took off the badge and put it back into the space ring. He looked at Luo Fei deeply and smiled sincerely.
After he finished speaking, the black-robed youth maintained his usual cool image and turned to leave in big strides. Only Luo Fei, who was behind him, stood rooted to the spot where Ao Feng had been standing. The beautiful face of the handsome youth with a faint smile could not be forgotten in his mind...
