Chapter 908 - A Letter From The Capital
Chapter 908
(Unedited)
…
Inside the hotel room he was in, Shin Jiao is currently reading a letter that he received just now. The letter is sealed and the seal used is an official seal of the kingdom of Xinglo. When he saw the seal he knew that this letter contained important information from the three princes which left a few days ago.
He had known the three princes and had talked to them. Although he could sense the conflict between them, Shin Jiao did not care anything about that.
When he cares about is the reaction of the king and the nobility of the kingdom.
Though he already found a way to possibly exit this place, he is still not sure if that path is stable. Plus his source of information is still lacking.
If he can take Im Ao and Im Jae to the capital city, then the two would be able to remember the path they took when escaping, that would be the best way to see the real path out of this place. It is a long shot, but it is still the surest and the guaranteed way.
While reading the letter, Shin Jiao showed a faint smile on his face.
"The king seems interested…" he muttered.
"Really, so we can enter the inner kingdom now?" Yemei Yin said while sitting on the sofa.
"Yes… inform the rest of the group to prepare…" Shin Jiao commanded.
With a nod of her head, Yemei Yin left the hotel room.
Shin Jiao, on the other hand, sits down and began taking out some ores, crystals, and materials inside his dimension. He wanted to create something new as his mood is a bit good today. This is also to prepare for their entry to the capital of the Xinglo Kingdom.
Everyone became busy when Yemei Yin arrives on the flying ship. They dare not broadcast the information to the radio and made it so that Yemei Yin would personally inform the rest of the leaders on the ship.
So when she arrives and Im Ao and Im Jae heard the news the two were elated.
Shin Jiao chooses Im Ao and Im Jae, along with Xiamen Gong and Hua Xiao to enter the capital of Xinglo Kingdom.
Xiamen Gong and Hua Xiao would deal with the negotiation with the king and his ministers while Im Ao and Im Jae would be with Shin Jiao to search for the path they have taken in their escape before.
Another week has passed, and everything is now ready.
Main Arjing City has experienced great changes and its people became busy while the crime rate lowers. Because of the way information is being spread in the city, people became aware of many things. And this has thoroughly changed their lives.
On this day, Shin Jiao is currently preparing to leave the city.
Olivia Anis Merl and he father Viscount Lanis Merl are currently talking to Hua Xiao while saying their goodbyes.
Olivia wanted to come with them, but her father dare not send his daughter to that place. Although the capital sounds majestic and it is the center of power of the kingdom. The Viscount knew of the true danger lurking within it. He fought in the wars, he dabbled in politics and he knew firsthand how cruel that place is.
With his daughter's beauty, he would not dare imagine what would happen if a powerful noble set his sight on her. In that place, people live a different life. Their lives are always on the edge. They are always wary of each other and very calculative of their gains and losses.
And so he would not want his daughter to go there. In fact, he also advised Shin Jiao not to go, but it seems that the group is already decided. But upon remembering the strength of the man and his group, the Viscount could not help but give a wry smile.
He is just a High Mage, and he has already seen the true strength of Shin Jiao, so how could he feel worried. He just needs to attend more in the business in the city. Make it bigger and better for the lives of the people living in it.
As the group left the city gate, a dove also left the Phoenix tower. Rick Orfang has a look of seriousness in his eyes. He heard that the Mystique Shop people would be entering the inner kingdom. So he sent a message to his fellow Grand Magus in that place to be cautious of them.
Although he would not do anything in the city anymore, he would just wait for his chance. If the other Grand Magus in the capital could capture or kill that guy name Shin Jiao, then he would make his move and capture his people in this place.
But unknown to him, the other mage towers are already secretly cooperating with the Mystique Shop as the leaders in those towers have already discussed the condition of cooperation with Shin Jiao and Tong Liwen.
With the cooperation, the other mage towers are benefiting more and because of this, the relation between the city and the other mage towers solidifies. That is with the exception of the tower of Phoenix.
…
Shin Jiao's group traveled to a village and upon reaching the border of the village they stopped.
Shin Jiao takes out the flying carrier from his dimension and everyone boarded the ship. The group then began to rise in the skies and flew directly in the direction of the capital city.
If he is to use the carriage and the Windfalls, then it would take about 2 days before they could reach the capital if they travel non-stop.
But with the flying personnel carrier, the travel time would lessen to around 4 hours or less. Of course, that would depend on the condition of the skies and their encounters.
An hour later…
The group suddenly encounters a flock of flying creatures that looks like wyverns.
"Xiamen, Hua… test out your new gears…" Shin Jiao said while pointing at the black dots flying towards them.
"Alright… I've been training for a whole week in using this thing. I hope that the training is the same as the actual thing…" Hua Xiao muttered as she attached the palm-size object to the belt of her exoskeleton.
Upon doing so, the palm-size object suddenly powers up and seems to charge her exoskeleton.
Then a semitransparent sphere envelops her whole body as she slowly hovers inside the ship.
This same thing is happening on Xiamen Gong's side.
"Alright here goes nothing!" she said.
The two of them exited the ship and flew towards the flying beasts.
"This feels like when I was in the immortal land and using my flying sword…" she said with a hint of excitement.
"Yeah… I heard that we can even fight a Grand Magus with this thing on…"
"Really? I doubt that. We might escape, but to fight, naahhh… Those guys are way too powerful. It's like facing a High Lord but with a lower strength and capability. But still a High Lord…"
"Yeah, you're right…" Xiamen Gong agrees.
Suddenly when the two came near the flying creatures, the hair on the two's bodies immediately stands on end. Their back broke out in cold sweat upon seeing what those creatures are.
"Damn it! Are… are those… dragon?" Hua Xiao muttered with a trembling tone.
'No… They're wyverns… They might be huge, but their strength is only comparable to an Arch Mage… So you two don't need to be afraid. Just try your best to test out the capability of the external pack. Then if you feel in danger leave the battle.' The voice of Shin Jiao said in their communication device.
"Alright, we will try…" Xiamen Gong said with a smile on his face.
He nodded to Hua Xiao and the two flew toward the flock of wyverns.
In front of them, there are around 5 wyverns the size of a normal bus. When those creatures saw them, they began to shriek in the air as they suddenly flew faster towards the two intruders in their sky.
Hua Xiao grabs the rifle on her side and began shooting the wyverns in front of her.
She concentrated her shots on one wyvern.
The wyvern was immediately riddled with bullet holes on its body as it fell to the ground on its death.
Xiamen Gong on the other hand used a sniper rifle staff. It is something that he has been training for a while now and has become a bit proficient in using the mana on his body.
He focuses his concentration on a target and marked it with his mana. Then concentrated a bulk of his mana combined with the mana energy from the external pack. A powerful surge began to form at the tip of the sniper rifle staff.
"Come on… Come on…" he muttered as he concentrated while trying to control the amount of energy being drained from the external pack.
Then suddenly his expression changed as he forces the mana bullet out.
Poom!!!
