white clouds drifting leisurely, seemingly pushed gently by the wind into various fascinating shapes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weather was exceptionally clear, and the sunlight poured down unreservedly, cloaking the earth in a layer of warm golden glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the road, an ancient carriage was slowly making its way, its wheels turning gradually as they rolled across the ground, producing a rhythmic sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore sat upright at the front of the carriage, his hands firmly holding the reins, focused on driving the carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From time to time, he turned sideways to look back, observing the situation inside the carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, his ears were alert, capturing every slight movement inside the carriage, as if guarding against some potential danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the carriage, Turner and Hanna were like two startled little deer, obediently sitting on the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They huddled closely together, their eyes full of caution, occasionally sneaking glances at Lis who sat opposite them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis appeared laid-back and complacent, lounging lazily against the soft cushions of the carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his head slightly tilted upwards, Lis gazed at the white clouds in the azure sky, seemingly pondering something, or perhaps simply enjoying this pleasant moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held a bright red apple in his hand, its color vivid and inviting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leisurely took a bite, the crisp sound echoing lightly within the carriage, followed by a delicate chewing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were also quite a few other foods placed inside the carriage, their sweet fragrance wafting through the small cabin, yet failing to dispel the tension and unease in Turner and Hanna’s hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Lis suddenly spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, Hanna, you really don’t want revenge?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those people destroyed your family, after all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Edward, the Grant family is gone, let it be gone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After all, to other people in the kingdom, the Grant family was indeed too dangerous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover, I don’t want Turner to continue getting involved with the family’s heritage and knowledge in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanna gently held Turner’s hand beside her and spoke softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whatever thoughts you have, as long as you send Uncle Theodore and Turner away, I’ll follow you no matter what.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s quite a pity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis said regretfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, his tone left Hanna wondering if he was truly feeling remorse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis ate his apple and glanced at Hanna and Turner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This body, though a vampire, could still taste the flavor of normal food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, for Lis at the moment, it didn’t hold any special allure, entirely different from the unique attraction of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lis merely tried it once or twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For him now, there was no problem in not eating at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since coming to this small world last night, Lis had been trying to ascertain the fundamental situation of this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His summoner Hanna, from the Grant family, was considered among the great nobles of Samuel Kingdom, naturally possessing abundant knowledge of the hidden secrets of this small world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this small world, there were six kingdoms in total, with Samuel being the weakest among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the city they were headed to, Rekton City, was right at the border between Ryan Kingdom and Samuel Kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grant family had been completely destroyed, with only Hanna and Turner left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore was the strongest warrior of the Grant family, and after its destruction, he had been protecting Hanna and Turner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, the foundation of the Grant family was nearly exhausted from resisting the attacks of other forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The magic item Hanna used to summon Lis was the last of its kind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Hanna and Theodore, Lis learned that the extraordinary forces attacking the Grant family this time almost included all the advanced nobles of Samuel Kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, the Grant family had become an enemy to everyone in the kingdom, hence its tragic downfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this reason, Hanna had no intention of reviving the family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her view, Edward’s previous suggestion was entirely his ill humor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this what demons are like?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanna felt a sense of oddity, yet she had no intent to resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as Theodore and Turner could be sent across the kingdom’s borders, she’d be content.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what this self-proclaimed demon Edward intended to do with her afterward, she had no objections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What could be more frightening than death?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, the Edward before her gave a completely different feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her perception, Edward’s demeanor seemed not a disguise but genuinely rational and wise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last night, after killing those hooded men, Edward used some unknown method to completely restrain the Abyss Demon aura on himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At present, aside from his peculiar blood-colored eyes, he appeared not like an Abyss Demon, but entirely like a noble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Lis, there was not much valuable intelligence obtained from Hanna.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the information Hanna understood, there was no connection to the external world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there was one piece of information that Lis found quite interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is, this world has a most powerful kingdom, which is Ryan Kingdom bordering Samuel Kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryan Kingdom had been the strongest kingdom through countless years; although it never proactively attacked other kingdoms, anyone daring to provoke Ryan Kingdom would face the most ferocious retaliation.\u003C\u002Fp>",870,"2026-06-03T10:59:06.081Z","2026-06-03T10:59:12.836Z",1,"novelbin.me","ad5024493be0e606fd3f6158c82251ed0c60946623ffa5ee085c27a214682c26","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1658","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1656",1658,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-cover.jpg"]
