The Elven Temple in Egypt's Ao Territory, the Elven King's Palace. A kingdom represented by a long-eared elf beauty known as the Elven Priestess.
In the lush forest, there was a spring that was covered in a thin mist. As far as the eye could see, it was a green spring.
This was the Baptismal Palace in the deepest part of the Sacred Elven Temple, which only the Elven Priests could enter.
The elven priest was soaking in the spring water below her waist. She quietly opened her eyes.
A flash of light appeared in his eyes that were even more blue than turquoise, and it disappeared in an instant.
"Did you arrange for the demons to land?”
The elven priest cast her gaze at the dazzling sphere between the two bronze statues.
There was no response. As usual, he remained silent.
"In that case, allow me to take some actions within the scope of my abilities.”
Huge ripples spread out on the surface of the spring. The elven priestess stood up, and the water droplets slid down her collarbone and into her voluptuous breasts. A thin veil clung tightly to her body, and her slender body gave off a flirtatious atmosphere. The elven priest picked up the kimono placed by the water's edge and slowly put it on before walking away. She quickly walked through the lush forest and a familiar passage appeared in front of her.
The elven priestess walked silently along the corridor surrounded by white walls. A moment later, she arrived at the hall, where a group of elven knights made up of only beautiful women was already on standby.
"Go get a pen, paper, and ink immediately.”
After hearing the Elven Priestess 'angry voice, the Elven Knights on standby looked nervous.
"I'll prepare it for you now."
An elven knight gestured to the trainee knight below
"Yes, sir! I'll go right away!"
After the trainee knight left a bright and cheerful answer, his figure disappeared at the end of the passage.
"Lord Elven Priestess, what happened?”
The captain of the elven knights asked resolutely.
"The situation is urgent."
"Did you 'see' anything?"
"That's right. We must report this to His Majesty immediately.”
At this moment, the Trainee Knight returned to the hall, panting heavily.
"I brought it! Phew…"
"Haha, you've worked hard."
The elven priestess consoled the trainee knight who was exhausted from running at full speed and gave her a smile.
However, the captain of the elven knights put his hands on his hips and scolded angrily,
"Hey, in front of the elven priestess, that look is too outrageous! No wonder you can only be an intern knight!”
"Even if you say that, I can't do anything about it…"
"It's fine. Let her have a good rest."
The elven priest looked around after saying that. Seeing her actions, the elven knight immediately handed over a wooden chair. The elven priest placed the white paper on top of it and started writing. At the same time, she said,
"Listen up, give this to the elven knight and ask him to immediately set off for the big city.”
The elven priest bit his thumb. After confirming that blood was dripping from his fingertip, he pressed it onto the white paper.
When the blood seeped in, the white paper immediately changed. It first emitted a faint light, then naturally rolled up.
The Elven Knight who was on standby at the side reached out to take it and said,"This subordinate will take his leave!”，He turned around and ran toward the corridor. The elven priest watched the figure leave and muttered softly,"
"This is all I can do. The rest…is up to you, Your Majesty Qingyang.”
The five-day journey to the big city was not comfortable.
Due to the importance of speed in the carriage that Kedar had prepared, Qing Yang's body would always bounce up into the air and his head would definitely hit a certain part of the carriage whenever he passed by a difference in height.
In conclusion, the feeling of sitting up was terrible.
"It hurts…"
Even on the last day, Qing Yang woke up in excruciating pain.
"Ah…I don't have enough sleep at this time!”
Qing Yang rubbed his sore spot and propped up his upper body. He sighed deeply and looked around the car.
Although the carriage was very uncomfortable, it was spacious enough for Qing Yang to sleep in.
Looking out of the window on the right, there was a vast grassland outside. Just as Qing Yang was looking at the plains with sleepy eyes, the window in front of him was opened from the outside.
"Young Master, are you up?"
It was the driver of the carriage who poked his head in. Qing Yang raised his hand in response.
"We're almost at the finish line, right?"
After the coachman closed the window, the carriage shook heavily. Qing Yang stood up and prepared to get off the car.
The carriage didn't go straight to the big city. Instead, it stopped at a station three kilometers away.
"Thank you."
After arriving at the relay station, Qing Yang got off the carriage and was shocked by the surging crowd.
"I see…This is the grand occasion of the big cities in a thousand years, right? Although there were quite a lot of people at the Kensi relay station, it was still much worse than here.”
The station was packed with nobles, commoners, mercenaries, and people from all walks of life. It was very lively.
Walking out of the crowded station, a pleasant breeze with the fragrance of green leaves brushed past Qing Yang's nose.
Although there were horse carriages that headed to the big city nearby, Qing Yang had other concerns, so he decided to go on foot.
"Looks like I'm being followed?"
If the other party planned to make a move here, things would be troublesome. Qing Yang hoped to avoid implicating the innocent as much as possible.
Qing Yang turned into a lower footpath and counted the number of people following him.
"Three…six…eight people?”
It seemed that the other party was a greenhorn to be able to detect his aura so easily. However, it would be too rash to immediately make such a judgment.
"In any case, it would be better for me to take action first.”
It might be a good idea to wait for the other party to attack, but he was afraid that the guards would notice the commotion and gather.
Qing Yang didn't have anything on him that could prove his identity. If he was stopped for questioning, he would definitely be detained.
Moreover, even if he could prove his identity, if the guards were acting under someone's orders, he might not be able to know how long he would be detained. He couldn't waste time on such trivial matters now.
"Alright…who should I pick?"
Qing Yang checked the aura closest to him and then suddenly turned around.
At the same time, a crack appeared in the space beside his hand, and the hilt of a short sword flew out.
Qing Yang pulled out his elven weapon and instantly circled behind the wavering man.
"Don't tell anyone, or I'll kill you. If you understand, tell your companions.”
Qing Yang pressed the tip of his sword against the man's back and whispered.
"I, I know, don't kill me!”
The man winked at his companion, who was sitting next to the rock wall and disguised as a traveler. The man had a scar on his cheek. The scarred man raised his arms above his head and waved them back and forth. Immediately, Qing Yang felt several auras gradually leave. Then, he pushed the suspicious man's back, indicating for him to move forward.
"Next, I will ask you a few questions…It's fine if you don't want to answer. At worst, I will kill you and ask the others.”
Qing Yang moved the tip of the sword that was holding the man down. The man's slightly dirty and old clothes were cut open, and his face turned pale in fear.
"I-I'll tell you everything. Please spare me!”
Initially, he had only wanted to threaten her, but the effect was surprisingly good.
"Are you admitting defeat so quickly?"
Qing Yang observed the trembling man and asked,"
"Who are you employed by?"
"I don't know the employer. The other party suddenly gave me a sum of money…and asked me to attack you.”
"Oh... can you elaborate on the situation?”
"I, after I finished farming, a strange man appeared in front of me.”
"A strange man?"
"He was wearing a hood, so I couldn't see his face clearly, but from the voice, it was a man.”
Qing Yang nimbly spun the dagger in his hand and used the hilt to press against the man, urging him to continue.
"He wanted me to make trouble for you and hand you over to the guards. I didn't want to agree to it, but he paid two gold coins!”
The man in front of him was probably just blinded by greed. His companions around him were probably from the same village.
"W-anyone would accept it, right? Isn't it? So, please spare me! I'm really sorry!"
The man did not seem to be lying. He continued to ask, but it seemed that he could not get any useful information.
"You can go now. However, if you dare to do anything wrong, I'll kill you. Also, don't ever appear in front of me again. If I meet you again, I will kill you without hesitation. Do you hear me?"
"I, I know. I will definitely stay far away from you!”
The man nodded repeatedly and ran toward the plain without looking back.
Behind him, several men who should be his companions chased after him in panic.
Qing Yang stared at those people until their backs completely disappeared from his sight. Only then did he stride towards the big city.
"Even if I didn't do anything, they would still be killed by the client, right? How pitiful!"
It was just a simple job, but the pay was ridiculously high. In other words, success was inevitable.
Although they had brought this upon themselves, they did not realize this. In the end, they actually failed. What awaited them was only the outcome of being silenced by the client.
"However, why did you choose the farmers? This is also very important."
If the opponent was a veteran, Qing Yang would definitely fight. At that time, they would definitely be arrested by the guards who had heard the commotion.
"I'll think about these things later…for now, I'd better take a good look around the capital.”
Qing Yang interrupted his thoughts and stopped. In front of him was the majestic main gate of the big city.
He raised his head and looked up. The huge city wall emitted a sense of oppression. He took a look at the deep moat that surrounded the city wall. It was filled with the river water from the Kendall River in the north, and there were all kinds of aquatic creatures living in it.
On the bridge across the moat, a large crowd was bustling.
Qing Yang, who was squeezed in the crowd, was almost pushed across the bridge. When he was in front of the main entrance to accept the luggage inspection,
"Cuckoo…"
The scene that greeted his eyes shocked him even more. A broad road paved with stone slabs extended all the way from the main entrance.
At intervals on both ends of the road, there was a huge bronze statue that reached straight into the sky. It was the colossus of the twelve gods of Atlantis, which was exquisitely crafted.
The gods looked down at the street as if they were welcoming visitors. Under the bronze statue, there were many open-air vendors. Every stall was overcrowded, and the shouts of the shopkeepers were endless.
"Compared to 1,000 years ago, the buildings are much taller, and the number of people is also different.”
Qing Yang leisurely surveyed his surroundings and strode forward. At this moment, he saw a group of people holding up wine bottles and reveling in broad daylight in front of a wine stall.
"Our old enemy, Amelia, has been destroyed! Of course I want to drink. Bring me some wine! How could he not celebrate properly!”
"I have to congratulate the princess for defeating that country bumpkin Duchy!”
"And I heard that the descendants of the second emperor were also present!”
After passing through the bustling streets under the watchful eyes of the gods, Qing Yang was greeted by a spectacular and spacious fountain garden. The water from the fountain shot straight into the sky, creating a mysterious charm with the clouds floating behind it. The splashing water was crystal clear, and the sound of water scratching the ears added to the elegance.
Around the fountain were women with children, drunk men, employees reading, and people gathered for all kinds of purposes. The atmosphere here was comfortable and calm, completely different from the front door. Similarly, everyone's faces were filled with smiles.
The people of the country must still be immersed in the afterglow of defeating America and the Liao Dynasty.
"Isn't this the second generation lord?"
Suddenly being called out from behind, Qing Yang turned his head and saw Ola's subordinate Azi.
"What kind of name is this…Speaking of which, why are you here? I thought you went back to the West?"
"This is what I wanted to ask you. Why is the second-generation lord here?"
"I was summoned by His Majesty the Emperor.”
"Oh, I see. There is indeed no reason not to summon you."
"Then, why is Zi here?”
"Just before we were about to return to the West, my superior was summoned by His Majesty. I can be considered to have accompanied him here.”
"Ola?"
"No, it's the third prince, Blu Blu.”
After Zi finished speaking, he walked away, and Qing Yang naturally followed.
"The matter of using the Black Iron Knights of the Third Royal Army for personal purposes has been exposed. Moreover, it was during the period when His Majesty was personally sending troops to fight…Naturally, he would inevitably be questioned about his crimes.”
"I think he deserved it. Who asked him to actually want to catch Ellie?”
