there?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shadow approached the carriage and whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Belial, who was originally tired from crying and was about to sleep in a daze, suddenly awoke upon hearing his name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This voice was all too familiar to him, and he hurriedly replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dad, Dad, is that you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Belial’s voice, the black figure trembled and quickly came to Belial’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By relying on the starlight above, Belial could clearly see the face of the person who came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was his father, Aio, the captain of the Brown Village Hunting Team!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment he saw his father, the panic and uneasiness in Belial’s heart erupted instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tears streamed from his already swollen eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he was grabbed from the village by those Black Armored Knights from the Hunting Temple, Belial felt abandoned by the village and his father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the might of the Hunting Temple had always deeply imprinted itself in everyone’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, Belial recalled that crimson stain among all the villagers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at that occasion, the village elder was nowhere to be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Belial was no longer a child; he vaguely guessed something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at the moment he saw his father, his cold heart once again surged with warmth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nonetheless, he quickly covered his mouth, suppressing his sobs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He, having started to mature, understood very well that his father had come here at great risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he cried at this moment, he might wake the Black Armored Knights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aio didn’t say much either, calmly beginning to dismantle the iron lock on the wooden cage of the carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, other children also awakened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they all widened their eyes, looking at Aio with expectation hidden in their eyes, none making any noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aio carefully fumbled for the iron chain locking the wooden cage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With some Hunter skills, his hands were quite dexterous, careful not to make a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To him, Belial was his only child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After returning from Zeke City to Brown Village, he understood that Zeke City and the Hunting Temple were places that would devour people without leaving their bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for those high-ranking figures, everyone else was expendable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides a few Lucky ones who could keep climbing upwards, for the vast majority, merely surviving was already quite good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Aio was young, he also thought about joining the Hunting Temple, at worst becoming a resident of Zeke City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that experience made him understand that even if he became a resident of Zeke City, he would only have become a more loyal dog to those high-ranking figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Aio chose to return to Brown Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To marry and have children, to live out his life, that was enough for Aio.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But all this was completely destroyed at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was unwilling for it to be so!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he saw Belial being taken away by the Black Armored Knights of the Hunting Temple, he couldn’t help but want to intervene forcibly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he forced himself to calm down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he knew very well that with his skill, he couldn’t beat even the weakest Black Armored Knight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, a rash action might anger those warriors of the Hunting Temple, potentially leading to the destruction of the entire Brown Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calmed down, Aio used his Experience, following behind the Black Armored Knights all the way,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>watching them put the children into wooden cages, and as some of the knights left, seemingly heading to other villages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waited until several Black Armored Knights fell asleep before cautiously approaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click～\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a soft sound, the iron chain on the wooden cage was unlocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aio carefully opened the wooden cage, bringing the children down one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The children didn’t delay, took one look at Aio, and rushed off into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the children brought here were from poor villages, and they learned to mature early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all carefully lowered their voices, quickly escaping from there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only at this time was Belial embraced in his father’s arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Woo woo～”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Belial dared not say much, simply held onto his father, unwilling to let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aio didn’t say much, patted Belial’s head, picked him up, and placed him nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Aio continued to open the wooden cages of other carriages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were at least over a hundred children locked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aio didn’t intend to leave immediately, he knew the longer they stayed, the greater the risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention, just the sound of the children’s moving could possibly wake the Black Armored Knights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Aio still decided to do this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, because there were other children from Brown Village taken, although he couldn’t take everyone, he at least wanted to give the other children a chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secondly, if he only opened one wooden cage to let its children go, who knows if the other children would shout and wake the knights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aio knew very well, now was not the time to place hope in others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Aio opened all the wooden cages, the children inside started to flee in droves, Aio then carried Belial and swiftly ran towards the distant mountains and forests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just after Aio left,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As one child was leaving the carriage, perhaps due to standing too long, lost balance and directly fell off the carriage with a muffled thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Awoken by the sound of the children’s departure, a Black Armored Knight jolted awake and hurriedly sat up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned and looked towards the carriage, dumbfounded, as he found the children whom they had locked up were escaping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps realizing the Black Armored Knight had awakened, the children, unable to suppress their inner fear any longer, immediately ran swiftly towards the distant horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>",950,"2026-06-03T10:58:58.792Z","2026-06-03T10:58:53.556Z",1,"novelbin.me","eeead9700a3263aa98fc67ec33fa993158ebd80e881b80f015fafd1df3be9854","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1288","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1286",1658,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-cover.jpg"]
