Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“That’s not possible!”
Lin Qi was thinking of what could have possibly happened. Could it be that the food had grown legs and run away?
Moreover, there was an entire group of people here, but not one person saw what had happened, which made everything even more suspicious.
“Look!”
As a voice alerted them, everyone ran over and saw a piece of leftover sweet potato on the ground.
Lin Qi squatted down and picked it up to take a look. It was indeed his Magic Sweet Potato, but who had eaten it?
Following the direction where the sweet potato was found, they found a series of strange footprints.
“There are footprints!”
Yu Meng and Lewis followed them and guessed that the footprints were left by a demonic beast.
Even so, what kind of demonic beast was it? It seemed to be a large bird-type demonic beast or perhaps a dog-type demon beast.
What was going on?
Back at the camp, everyone wore serious expressions. Lin Qi felt that there was something following him, but it did not dare to come out and remained hidden in the dark.
Luther advised everyone to be vigilant. The footprints were definitely not coincidental.
That night, no one dared to wander around. They only dared to move around in the safe area.
The next morning, no one noticed anything unusual. They were just worried for nothing.
Then, they finished packing and set off in the direction of the Black Wind Castle.
According to their calculations, they would arrive at the Black Wind Castle in another hour.
It was no paradise but there was only one rule there that no one could break that stated that no one was allowed to hurt anyone in the city, regardless of gender and age.
It sounded like a good place, but the truth was that the rule was only effective for the people in the city. The rule was not enforced outside the city borders and no one cared whether someone was beaten or killed on the other side of the walls.
Therefore, as long as they were outside of the Black Wind Castle, they could fight and kill as they pleased. They did not need to fear any repercussions.
As they were approaching the Black Wind Castle, they suddenly came across a few mages. It seemed that their outfits had a unique design. Although they saw all the guards, they did not care and acted as they pleased.
“Hey look, there’s a beautiful girl here!”
“A magic staff? Looks like she’s a mage like us!”
“She’s just a beginner-level mage!”
These mages were like little hooligans, walking toward Yu Meng without a care in the world.
“Little girl, do you want to learn magic? Do you want me to teach you?”
Yu Meng turned her head away and said coldly, “Go away.”
“Oh look, she has a temper!”
Just as the mages were getting closer and closer, the guards of the Yu family suddenly stopped them and said, “Our Mistress is participating in the trial. Please do not disturb us!”
“Wind Magic: Drifting Hurricane!”
As the leader of the mages chanted, a hurricane suddenly appeared under the feet of the guard in front of him and blew him into the sky.
“You!”
Yu Meng felt the hostility from the mages. She immediately took out her magic staff and was about to fight them.
However, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
A situation that no one expected had occurred.
They thought that it would be Lin Qi, but the person before them was Lewis.
“Gentlemen, you just came out from the Black Wind Castle, right?” Lewis smiled and asked.
“What does it have to do with you? Get lost, or I’ll blow you away too!”
Lewis did not panic at all. It was as if he was an entirely different person. He raised his head confidently and said, “If you live in the Black Wind Castle, you should know Charles Leonard, right?”
The mages were stunned. They looked at each other and sized up Lewis. “He’s the guard of the lord of the Black Wind Castle, who doesn’t know him?”
“It’s good that you know him! Then, do you know who I am?”
Lewis revealed his identity. “I am the young master of the Leonard family of New Moon City. Charles Leonard is my uncle! If you dare to provoke me, I will make sure he hears of it!”
Everyone finally understood. No wonder Lewis was so brave. It turned out that there was someone protecting him in the Black Wind Castle.
At first, those mages did not believe it. However, when they saw such a huge formation created by the guards of the Leonard family and the Yu family, they hesitated.
“Forget it, don’t provoke them just for a little bit of fun!”
“If what he said is true, I heard that the city lord’s guards are a bunch of hot-tempered guys, it’s better not to mess with them!”
The mages did not dare to act rashly, so they could only lower their heads and apologize obediently. “I… We apologize!”
“Get lost!”
Lewis let out a long sigh and released all the anger that he had suppressed in his heart.
The mages lowered their heads and left in disappointment. Lewis turned his head to look at Yu Meng and smiled, “Yu Meng, did you hear that? Coming to Black Wind Castle means coming to my territory. As long as you mention my name, no one will dare to bother you!”
All of a sudden, many people surrounded Lewis.
However, everyone was still aware that Lewis himself was nothing to boast about. He was only acting smug because he could count on his uncle, the city lord’s guard.
Just like that, they entered the city within the castle. Black Wind Castle was peaceful, and the lively streets were filled with noise. Lin Qi also noticed that there were participants from other cities, and they had all arrived at the Black Wind Castle.
It seemed that the other participants of the trial were all very strong!
“Let’s find a hotel to rest in for a while!” Luther said.
There were more people on the guard’s side so they simply found some group suites to stay in while Lin Qi and the other participants went to the Central Hotel in the Central City.
They walked into the hotel and found that the hall was full of people. Looking over, they were all participants from other cities.
As his uncle was the guard of the city lord, Lewis did not pay much attention to those participants and swaggered in to get a room.
Yu Meng did not think too much either and followed him to get a room.
As for Lin Qi, he was about to walk over when he was suddenly stopped by someone with a magic staff.
“Wait!”
Lin Qi’s expression was indifferent. He turned his head and saw a young man wearing a robe. His face was covered in a big smile.
“You… You are the young master of the Lin family from New Moon City, right?”
“That’s right, what do you want? Are you giving this magic staff to me?” Lin Qi remained calm and laughed.
“I didn’t expect that you would be here!”
The young man’s words caused the other participants in the hall to burst into laughter.
“In fact, I didn’t expect that the crippled young master of the Lin family could even reach the Black Wind Castle in the first place. That’s amazing!”
A few people beside him laughed and said, “He might have followed the other trial participants to get here!”
Lin Qi’s reputation had already spread throughout the entire Mill continent. Almost everyone knew that the famous Lin family had produced a useless young master. Moreover, they even asked him to participate in the trial.
There was no way that a guy like him would survive the trial.
