Chapter 450: Norton Imperial City

~7 min read 1,306 words

"Lingyun, what about that wolf king?" Seeing Lingyun suddenly appear beside her, Chen Jing leaned in and asked.

"Dead, not even a scrap left!" Lingyun said with a calm expression.

Aiweier only felt a weight on her back; she turned her head to look and saw the Wind Holy Sword had appeared on her back once again. Aiweier looked at Lingyun thoughtfully, not knowing what she was thinking.

As the wolf pack retreated, the people on the scene began to treat their wounds. After resting in place for an afternoon, the caravan set off once more. As long as they crossed the Peilun Plain, the distance to Norton Imperial City would not be very far.

The caravan's carriages traveled along the small path. Lingyun lay on the roof of one of the carriages, chewing on a blade of unknown grass, looking completely at ease. However, every time he breathed, the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi within a radius of several hundred meters would be drawn into his body, forming a vortex invisible to ordinary people.

Aiweier, who was driving the carriage, looked at Lingyun with some annoyance. As a dignified Space-type Great Archmage, how had she been reduced to the level of a carriage driver? But hindered by the small mental power training method Lingyun had given her earlier—which had caused her stagnant Mental Power to show signs of progress—this small dissatisfaction vanished.

Inside the carriage, Chen Jing and Su Wanyue sat facing each other. In their hands, each held a crystal the size of a fist. The vast power within the crystals was continuously absorbed into their bodies, forming a powerful Origin Qi vortex around them. If Lingyun hadn't already set up an Isolation Array inside the carriage, such a large disturbance would have long since attracted the attention of everyone in the caravan.

After escaping the wolf emperor's Blood Sacrifice, the caravan's bad luck seemed to have come to an end; there were no more situations along the way that could cause the caravan a catastrophic disaster. But while the big troubles were gone, the small ones were not lacking at all; on the Peilun Plain, they encountered horse bandits three times.

Although the horse bandits on the grassland were fierce, facing the iron-clad Iron Blood Mercenary Group and the Saint Domain Magician Mo Lao, they were ultimately unable to gain any advantage.

"Lingyun, how much longer until we reach Norton Imperial City?" Aiweier asked Lingyun using Voice Transmission; this was a small trick Chen Jing had taught her. Aiweier liked this kind of technique very much and would use it from time to time.

"At this speed, we can reach Norton Imperial City by evening!" Lingyun's voice rang in her ear.

"Evening?" Aiweier muttered in a low voice, not knowing what she was thinking.

"To be honest, I'm really curious now what the Human Imperial City looks like!" Aiweier said to Lingyun.

"What it looks like, won't you just be able to see for yourself when we get there!" Lingyun said with a smile. "Besides, after we arrive at the Imperial City, we will happen to rest for a day or two; if you want, you can go out and stroll around with Chen Jing and the others!"

"Mm!" A flash of light appeared in Aiweier's eyes; clearly, she was very tempted by Lingyun's suggestion.

"Is this Norton Imperial City?" Aiweier looked at the tall city walls in the distance, a trace of astonishment flashing in her eyes.

As the sun set, the silhouette of Norton Imperial City appeared in the eyes of the caravan members. Bathed in the glow of the sunset, Norton Imperial City looked extremely magnificent, like a Giant standing on the earth.

Unlike the Elf Imperial City, which was built relying on the Elf Ancient Tree, Norton Imperial City was a city constructed with the power of Magic. Even with a considerable distance still between them, Aiweier could still feel the powerful Magic Elements lingering outside Norton Imperial City.

"I say, Sister Aiweier, this is your first time coming to Norton Imperial City, right?" Kanglikeduo leaned over to Aiweier's side and asked. "Do you want me to introduce Norton Imperial City to you?"

"Eh? Uncle, how did you know? Then hurry up and introduce it to me!" Aiweier looked at Kanglikeduo beside her with some curiosity.

The word "Uncle" instantly dealt a million-ton heavy blow to Kanglikeduo's heart. Although his appearance looked a bit mature, he shouldn't be at the point of being called "Uncle" by others; one had to know, he was only twenty-two years old now!

Watching the devastated Kanglikeduo, a flash of sly amusement crossed Aiweier's eyes. During this period, this guy had been drilling toward their team's direction at every turn, trying to poach them in every way possible. Although the other party had always kept to his bottom line and hadn't done anything excessive, Aiweier always felt she couldn't let it go without giving him a small lesson.

Although he was momentarily depressed by Aiweier's "Uncle," Kanglikeduo quickly recovered.

"Norton Imperial City can be said to be one of the most outstanding Magic crystals of the Human race in the last thousand years. It is said that when this city first started, it was structured by multiple Earth-type Magicians of the Heavenly Domain. The outer wall of such a huge Imperial City took only one hour. Can you imagine the spectacular scene of multiple Heavenly Domain Magicians jointly casting Earth-type Magic? This kind of scene, even just imagining it, is enough to make one's blood boil!" When saying this, a look of envy couldn't help but flow from Kanglikeduo's eyes.

"Although the current city walls don't look like anything special, these walls are all inscribed with powerful Magic Arrays. Even a Heavenly Domain powerhouse would have to pay a hefty price to break through the Magic Arrays on the walls." Kanglikeduo pointed to the city walls in the distance and said. "More than a hundred years ago, the Orc Empire's Army once fought to the foot of the Imperial City, but their army attacked the Imperial City for half a month and still couldn't destroy the walls, ultimately having to retreat. This battle was recorded in the history books!"

"Oh, that sounds quite interesting!" A light of interest flickered in Aiweier's eyes, as if she were attracted by the story Kanglikeduo told.

Chen Jing and Su Wanyue also stopped their cultivation and walked out of the carriage. Lingyun looked at the two of them and nodded slightly. Although their strength had not yet been able to break through to the Xiantian Mid-stage, they were already very close to that realm. As long as they put in a little more effort, entering the Xiantian Mid-stage would be a matter of these next few days.

"Lingyun, is this Norton Imperial City? It really looks quite spectacular!" Chen Jing looked at the Imperial City in front of her and said.

Just as the three were talking, the caravan had already arrived at the Imperial City gate. Kelisi took a Token from her bosom and waved it in front of the gate-guarding Pawn.

Upon seeing that Token, the gate-guarding Pawn, who had originally wanted to fish for some profit, couldn't help but have his expression change slightly. Afterward, he hurriedly moved aside to let the caravan enter the city.

Just after entering the Imperial City, Lingyun heard a huge clamor. Inside the Imperial City, people were coming and going, looking very lively.

"The escort mission ends here; we'll meet again!" Lingyun brought the three of Chen Jing to Kelisi, said this to her, and then disappeared into the crowd with the three women.

When Kelisi looked at the backs of the four, wanting to say something more, the four had already disappeared into the vast sea of people.
