CHAPTER 143: CHAPTER 105: DEATH ULTIMATUM AND LEGEND APPROACHING

But the man in the black robe turned around slowly and gently said:

"Marquis, there’s no need to panic. I won’t do anything unfavorable to you. In fact, you have two experts protecting you, so I couldn’t even if I wanted to."

Hearing this, Marquis Mien’s expression relaxed significantly, and his courage gradually returned as he said:

"Then why are you here! What do you want?"

"I am here on someone’s behalf, oh! No, it should be on a dragon’s behalf, to give you a warning." The man in the black robe said.

"A dragon?"

Marquis Mien’s heart sank, feeling that something was amiss.

Especially after hearing rumors about a certain dragon not long ago.

"A dragon named Land Saphis Oakben."

"Damn it! Are you kidding me?" Marquis Mien’s face suddenly turned ugly.

By this time, all the guards outside had rushed in.

Marquis Mien no longer wanted to listen to the nonsense from the man in the black robe and immediately ordered an attack against him.

As a result, when several guards got close and stabbed with their swords, they pierced nothing but air!

This shocked everyone!

"What’s going on?"

"Marquis Mien! This is probably a Memory Capturing Skill! This man in the black robe had already been to the manor before and cast this skill; once you arrived, it would automatically activate.

All the words from the man in the black robe were pre-set! He is not here at all, so our attack is naturally ineffective!"

Someone explained.

While Marquis Mien breathed a sigh of relief, he also felt like he had been played, his face flushing red with anger!

At this moment, the man in the black robe spoke again:

"Dear Marquis! Please don’t get angry. You have two advanced professionals with you and over a hundred guards. How could someone like me dare to meet you face to face?

Please calm down and listen to me!

I was sent by Land Saphis Oakben to notify you.

I am here on his behalf to deliver a death warning to you and advise you to free yourself.

You might be puzzled why someone you do not even know would issue such a warning.

I heard from Lord Land that he has a caster named Yakus, who once was your brother. He believes Yakus is the rightful Mien, and you are but a doppelgänger.

He will help Yakus regain everything that rightfully belongs to him.

Furthermore, I advise everyone on Marquis Mien’s side, if they don’t want to die, it’s best not to follow Marquis Mien’s orders two days from now! If you can hide far away, then hide far away..."

"Damn it! What nonsense are you spouting!"

Marquis Mien was furious, grabbing a treasure sword from one of the guards to strike at the man in the black robe!

Of course, this hit too was in vain.

The words of the man in the black robe continued:

"You are still young, with old ones above and young ones below. Sacrificing for this illegitimate inferior bloodline is not wise..."

The more he spoke, the angrier Marquis Mien became. He noticed that the guards around him now wore strange expressions, making him want to slash at them all, but he managed to hold back.

Then, after thinking carefully, cold sweat began to drip continuously down his back!

He’s scared!

If what the man in the black robe said is true, and Yakus has allied with that evil dragon, he... is doomed!

The information received not long ago suggested that the dragon possessed legendary strength!

With such power, if its intent was to kill him, who could possibly protect him!?

Thinking of this, thinking of his potential demise, the young Marquis Mien collapsed to the ground.

After a long while, he shouted in anger: "Quick! Help me up! Take me to see Mother! She must have a way to save me!"

A moment later.

Mother and son gathered together, and after Mien’s Mother listened carefully to everything her son recounted, her expression changed continuously, and after a while, she said:

"Send someone to the Royal Capital! Let someone invite the Sword Saint! Only he can save us now!"

After Mien’s Mother made this decision, they received another piece of bad news.

It’s been said that throughout the city, rumors have spread that the young Marquis Mien is not legitimate, and Yakus has allied with the evil dragon and is coming to attack.

In an instant, the entire city was in turmoil.

At this moment, several knights riding Griffins also flew out of Mien City toward the Royal Capital.

A day later.

The Royal Capital.

A giant flying airship filled with azure radiance slowly descended onto a specially constructed landing site in the city center.

Around it, dozens of nobles, officials of the Royal Capital, and advanced professionals, including His Majesty the King, had already gathered.

When the flying airship landed steadily, a row of stairs descended from it.

A middle-aged man clad in pure golden armor, accompanied by priests wearing priest’s robes with a sun crest on their chests, slowly descended the stairs.

"Welcome, Holy Envoy! As you appear before me, it seems as though the air of the entire world has been purified!"

His Majesty the King approached with a smile on his face, saying.

"May the light of the morning sun bless you, Your Majesty the King! You are as humorous as ever."

The middle-aged man in golden armor responded with a smile.

"Holy Envoy, we have prepared a banquet at the Royal Palace. Please allow us to escort you there."

Amidst conversations and laughter, everyone slowly proceeded.

But suddenly, a soldier ran quickly toward them, glancing at the Holy Envoy, hesitating to speak.

"If there’s something to say, just say it. The Holy Envoy is not an outsider."

"Yes, Your Majesty the King! We have received a report from Mien City that they have received a death threat from the evil dragon known as Land Saphis Oakben!

The dragon plans to descend upon Mien City and kill Marquis Mien tomorrow! Take over the city. They want you to send the Sword Saint for reinforcements."

"Wait! What did you say? An evil dragon? A death threat? Seizing the city?" The Holy Envoy couldn’t help but frown before the King could speak.

"What is happening? Can someone explain it to me?"

The King was slightly surprised, glancing at his right-hand man, as if asking if our plans had changed. This was not what we had previously discussed!

The right-hand man merely blinked.

Nothing changed, but it seems there’s indeed a problem in Mien City!

His Majesty the King understood, quickly explaining all the causes and effects!

Instantly, the Holy Envoy’s body radiated a brilliant white light! With a loud crash, the asphalt road underfoot shattered abruptly.

The Holy Envoy’s expression was extremely angry: "Arrogant! Truly arrogant! Merely a petty evil dragon! Dare to threaten the kingdom’s nobles! Such audacity!

Tell me! Where is that evil dragon! I must eliminate him immediately! Save all the suffering subjects!"

With those words, His Majesty the King and all the noble ministers rejoiced, quickly telling the Holy Envoy the location of Land City, where Land was located, and sent a guide to board the flying airship with the Holy Envoy, heading for Land City!

Of course, the Sword Saint had not arrived.

Because the Holy Envoy stubbornly believed that he and his entourage were sufficient, and this was a great opportunity to demonstrate divine power.
