Chapter 45: The Imperial Court Arrives

  Although Rody was a Seventh-Order White-Gold Warrior, he still showed great respect when facing Castriot: "Lord Castriot, this man and his two subordinates killed dozens of city guards in Valan City. I'm just passing by here, as the guard of the Earl of Habana, I only assisted the city guards to defend the safety of Valan City for its own security!"

  Rody was unclear how Huayun and Rostov had come into conflict, so he could only use this specious reason to exclude Castlot.

  "Ha! You think killing a few city guards is something to brag about? Everyone in Valanar City knows what kind of trash the city guard is, they're just too afraid to say it. Now that you've crossed me, I don't care about any of that!"

  After hearing what Caslot said, the city guards all had angry faces and were also puzzled as to why Caslot insisted on defending this black-haired youth, even if it meant offending Lord Harvey and Count Harberna of Valan City.

  Although Castlot had recently become popular among the nobles of Valan City due to some events, he was nothing in front of Count Habern. After all, Count Habern's background was also the Minister of Agriculture of the Kingdom - Marquis Russell, although not as powerful as Duke Leo, but also a top-notch family in the kingdom.

  "Lord Huayun, these mercenary inns are not safe, hehe, why don't you come and stay at my place instead?" Caslot finally found an opportunity to propose to Huayun again, never giving up on letting him move into his own home.

  Hua Yun nodded at Caslot and immediately said to Rody: "Rody, release Baru and Bak!"

  "Huh? Sir!" Rodi was initially surprised by Casloth's appearance and didn't notice Casloth's address to Hua Yun, but now hearing Casloth call Hua Yun "sir", Rodi's eyes involuntarily jumped slightly!

  "Didn't you hear me tell you to let the Baskerville brothers go?!" Caslot came before Rodi, kicked him in the foot, and then beckoned the two guards beside him to help the fallen Baskerville brothers walk towards the outside of the crowd.

  As a 7th-level White Gold Warrior, Rodi couldn't even feel pain from Caslot's kick. If he wanted to, he could have easily kicked Caslot's leg off, but his anger-filled heart was completely helpless against Caslot's actions.

  And Castlot is no fool either, he also understands Roddy's character and that's why he did this. If he were facing the crazy Ba brothers, he wouldn't dare to kick them either.

  Facing the noble Castlot, Rodi and hundreds of city guards were all at a loss, they could not and did not dare to detain Castlot, now that nothing can be done, they had no choice but to return and report to Viscount Havi and Earl Habern.

  "Hua Yun, let go of Rooster!" Although he couldn't stop Hua Yun from leaving, the Rooster that had fallen into her hands still needed to be rescued.

  "Let him go?!" Huayun's face revealed a hint of cold smile, "The promise I made is unchangeable!"

  Hua Yun's right hand slightly trembled, and the Wind Sword immediately let out a soft hum. In the shocked gaze of all the city guards, Roast, who had been groaning in pain, suddenly stopped groaning. His head had already been severed from his body by Hua Yun's sword.

  "I said before that next time I see him, it won't be just a simple cutting off of the long sword in his hand, unfortunately he didn't believe me!"

  "Rody's heart was seething with rage, but he forcibly restrained his actions. His normally calm face was now filled with anger as he watched Huayun and the others get into Kaselot's carriage and head towards Kaselot's mansion."

  A small leader of the city guards looked at the bodies of the city guards and Roast scattered all over the ground, his face crying out in grief: "Lord Rodi, what do we do now?"

  "What to do?" Rodi sneered: "You've gotten yourselves into this, you deal with it!" With a cold snort, Rodi turned and swiftly headed towards the City Lord's Manor. He needed to inform Count Habern of what had happened here as quickly as possible.

  For a moment, only a few small heads of the city guard were left in front of the entire inn, staring at each other.

  Almost a hundred city guards were injured, and dozens of city guards died. Even Lord Roast, who was highly favored by Viscount Harvey, died here. How did things become like this? How should they report to Viscount Harvey?! The few small leaders of the city guards were filled with regret and pain at this moment.

  Hua Yun and others got off the carriage after it had been driving for a while, stopped at the gate of Castelot's mansion. As soon as they got off the carriage, Castelot sent someone to send the injured Ba brothers to rest.

  On the carriage, Huayun had already diagnosed the Ba brothers and found that apart from being shocked by Rodi, there was still a trace of Rodi's Seventh-Order White Gold Battle Qi left in their bodies. This battle qi was constantly destroying their meridians, but Huayun used the Reverse Heaven Technique to eliminate it in one go.

  It was strange that the Ba brothers only had the strength of a 4th rank Bronze Warrior, and the seal of the 5th rank power within their bodies hadn't been broken. However, during their previous battle, Hua Yun could clearly feel that the Ba brothers were using 5th rank White Silver Battle Qi after they went berserk.

  This made Huayun feel extremely puzzled, and in the meridians of the Ba brothers, Huayun found a very small but extremely strange power. This power could absorb the energy of Rodi's seventh-order white gold fighting spirit that had entered the Ba brothers' bodies. Otherwise, with the strength of the Ba brothers, after receiving such a powerful blow from Rodi, they would probably not die but lose half their lives, rather than just being seriously injured like now.

  Although curious about the strange power within the Ba brothers, Hua Yun also understood that now was not the time to think about this. What he had to do now was to deal with the actions of Viscount Harvey and Earl Habern.

  Just as Huayun and others returned to the mansion where Kaslot was, a horse-drawn carriage slowly entered the city of Waverley from outside the city gate.

  On either side of the carriage, two armor-clad warriors sat astride two magnificent steeds, their exquisite armor radiating dazzling brilliance in the sunlight. On the shoulder armor of both men was emblazoned a purple clematis flower, symbolizing their status as palace guards.

  What caught the attention was the man leading the horse carriage, wearing a very ordinary armor, with a long sword hanging from his waist, and his sharp eyes gazing forward with an air of disdain. What's more peculiar was his mount, almost identical to ordinary horses, but if you observed closely, you would find that its four hooves were always surrounded by a faint aura.

  That's a whirlwind unique to the fourth-tier magical beast Stormbringer, which looks just like Long Xiang and Ma!

  "Aleluia, we only have less than four days to stay in Wulan City. If we still can't find Huayun, we must hurry back to Wangcheng!"

  An aged voice came from the carriage, and then a face extremely familiar to Huayun appeared from the carriage. It was actually Saha, the fourth-grade plant master that Huayun had met in Kodo Town!
