Chapter 398: Lulansi

In Wushan Town, Meilongnika listened to the report from his subordinate and frowned secretly.

Although Balindun did not refuse Lulansi's summons, he set the time for one month later, which was clearly a stalling tactic.

"How badly damaged are the buildings at Heimang Castle?" Meilongnika asked.

"I didn't have a chance to get close, but from a distance, I estimate at least four or five large buildings were destroyed, including the central one."

The messenger Knight reported what he had seen and added his speculation: "A great battle definitely took place at Heimang Castle!"

Meilongnika nodded; it is difficult for a Golden Knight's battle to cause such extensive destruction, so the participants in this fight were either Meteor Knights or at least a Magus.

I fear Dean Milosilafu is in grave danger.

Just then, a Guard arrived outside the hall, "My Lord, Steward Dake of the Silva Magic Energy Chamber of Commerce wishes to see you."

Meilongnika was stunned for a moment and quickly said, "Bring him in!"

Earlier, Steward Dake had already expressed his concern to him, and coming here now was very likely to convey the intentions of the Silva Magic Energy Chamber of Commerce.

To exert pressure on Heimang City this time, the power of the Chamber of Commerce was indispensable.

"Lord Baron!"

Dake walked in quickly, without even performing the customary courtesies, and spoke directly: "The Lord has returned, and he sent me to invite you to come over!"

"Hmm?"

Meilongnika widened his eyes, "The Dean has returned?"

He had subconsciously assumed that Milosilafu must have been killed; this news brought by Dake left him both pleasantly surprised and shocked.

"How is the Dean?"

The two conversed while walking quickly toward the outside.

"The wound on his chest is somewhat serious, and his condition is not very good. We used several Healing Scrolls on him, and his condition has now stabilized."

"It is good that he could return. By the way, is it just the Dean alone? What about Knight Bulefu?"

Dake shook his head, his voice low: "The Lord said that Bulefu has likely been killed by Balindun and his people."

Meilongnika's footsteps faltered; although he already had his suspicions, he still found it hard to believe when he heard it with his own ears.

What exactly is the Haide Family thinking? How could they dare to do this?

He had keenly realized that the conflict between Wushan Castle and Heimang City would be brought out into the open.

Wushan Territory was about to face a war, and one of a much larger scale than the Bolante Bandit Group and the Black Gold Brotherhood.

"Let's go!"

Under Dake's guidance, the two soon arrived at Milosilafu's room.

This old man, who was usually full of vigor despite his age, now looked weathered, his hair withered like dry grass, and his lips were cracked.

To successfully escape back, he hadn't even dared to linger or stay at the Knight manors along the way, and after days of sleeping in the open with his injuries, he had finally saved his life.

"How are you feeling?" Meilongnika asked with concern.

Milosilafu opened his eyes, raised his hand to grab Meilongnika's arm, "Quick, tell Lulansi, Aosen's injuries have recovered, and there is another Meteor Knight at his castle; they wanted to kill me!"

Meilongnika gasped.

The Marquis had been tortured by that strange energy for thirty years, yet Aosen had recovered?

Could it be that the secondary energy effect was not lasting enough?

But that didn't matter; the key was that the opponent had not only recovered his strength but also gained a Meteor Knight helper.

Was this the reason Aosen dared to make a move against Milosilafu?

They probably hadn't expected the old Dean to escape with his life.

"Good, please rest assured, I will convey this matter to the Marquis immediately!"

Meilongnika comforted him: "Before you returned, the Knight Order of Wushan Castle had already begun to mobilize, and Lord Lulansi is already prepared to exert pressure on Heimang City."

Milosilafu nodded; as a Great Archmage, he had been treated with respect wherever he went all these years—when had he ever experienced such a wretched situation?

If not for carrying an Earth Bear Spell Scroll, and if not for knowing the Earth-Walking Spell, he would have perished there.

"They openly assassinated me and killed Bulefu; I will not let this grudge go easily!"

He looked at Dake: "Get paper and pen, and send a message in my name to the Chamber of Commerce headquarters and the Royal Court. The Haide Family has openly violated the Kingdom's laws and the noble covenant; I demand they be put on trial!"

"Yes, My Lord!"

Meilongnika did not stop him from the side; to be precise, he had no reason to stop him, nor could he stop him.

After offering a few words of greeting, he quickly left the residence.

On one hand, he arranged for a Knight Squad to patrol and guard Milosilafu's manor, and on the other, he returned to his study to take out paper and pen to write to Wushan Castle.

"Heimang City has two Meteor Knights, plus several Golden and Silver Knights. On the Wushan Territory side, Milosilafu is heavily injured and cannot go to the battlefield, leaving only me as a Meteor Knight. Once war breaks out, even if Wushan Territory wins, I fear there will be huge losses."

Meilongnika did not know the situation of Lulansi and Luoning; in his view, top-tier combat power was indeed a disadvantage for Wushan Territory.

The gap in top-tier combat power could only be filled by Magic Weapons and lives, and the resulting losses would definitely not be small.

"However, since Milosilafu has reported this matter to the Royal Court and the Magic Energy Chamber of Commerce, they should send people to support us."

Wushan Castle.

Sitting in a wheelchair, Weijinsi was receiving Viscount Mawen of Muma City and Viscount Weituolinuo of Jianjiao City in the hall.

"I say, Weijinsi, just give us a straight answer!"

Mawen's voice was full of impatience; he wanted to see the Marquis, but he had been blocked outside the door.

In all these years, this was the first time Lulansi had refused to see his disciple.

This gave Mawen a bad premonition—could it be that the Marquis was already nearing his end?

"That's right, Weijinsi, now that the major Knight Orders of Wushan Castle are all mobilizing, it makes us small and large nobles feel uneasy."

Weituolinuo also did not understand what was going on, "Either you tell us the truth about what happened to the Marquis! Or you let us in; if the Lord blames anyone, Mawen and I will take the responsibility."

Weijinsi looked helpless; if he knew the reason why Lulansi had suddenly stopped seeing guests, he would have said it long ago.

The key was that he didn't know either; he didn't even know why the Knight Order had been mobilized.

Nowadays, everyone in Wushan Castle seemed very busy, and Daianni had even traveled thousands of miles to help in the backwater of Wubei Territory.

Counting back and forth, it seemed he was the only one who was a bit idle.

There was no help for it; after all, he had a broken leg and his mobility was limited.

Otherwise, he would have insisted on running to Lulansi to ask what exactly the other party was trying to do.

"If you ask me, I don't know either!"

He spread his hands, "Anyway, the old master has refused everyone's visit; even if you bypass me, Tolu is still guarding the backyard, so you won't be able to break in."

Mawen and Weituolinuo looked helpless.

It was precisely because they knew Tolu was on guard that they had asked Weijinsi to try and work on him.

But as it currently appeared, this path was a dead end.

Hum~

Just as the three were talking, a powerful aura swept across the entire Wushan Castle.

They could feel that the surrounding Elemental Power seemed to be stirred up and was being drawn toward the backyard.

"This is?"

Mawen and Weituolinuo stood up abruptly, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes, and then, no longer talking to Weijinsi, they rushed directly toward the backyard.

"Hey, wait for me!"

Weijinsi frantically spun the wheels on both sides of his wheelchair, "Huoerhuate, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and push me over!"

Below the back mountain, Tolu looked toward the summit in shock; because of the close distance, he could feel the powerful pressure.

It was just a pity that the jungle blocked his view, and he could not see what was happening up there.

"Tolu, what is going on?"

Mawen and Weituolinuo rushed over and asked anxiously.

"I don't know!"

Tolu shook his head, "However, the Marquis is on the mountain."

Could it be?

All three had a bold guess in their hearts.

And at this moment, hearty laughter drifted down from the mountain, seemingly sweeping away all unpleasantness.

Immediately after, Lulansi, dressed in a black robe, walked through the air and landed in front of the crowd.

"My Lord!"

Tolu and the others' eyes widened; walking through the air, this was the mark of a Silver Moon Knight!

For a moment, their brains felt like they had crashed and couldn't process it. (End of chapter)
