Chapter 55 Settlement
Your next read is at empire
After flying for a while in the Mistwood forest, both of them had enough fun and began to return home.
As they entered Woodhaven City, Luna floated on Sylvia's shoulder, looking at everything around her curiously.
Sylvia, noticing her expression, couldn't help but ask.
"Say, Luna. Why can no one see you except me?"
Looking at all the pedestrians ignoring a floating fairy on her shoulder, she asked curiously.
"It is because they are dumb."
Luna didn't know what to say and replied matter-of-factly with no ill intention.
"Hehe... then I'm smart?"
"Yeah! After you made a connection with me, you are now smart."
Luna nodded in agreement.
"Say, if Ian couldn't see you, wouldn't he be dumber than me then."
Sylvia laughed, imagining such a scene in her mind.
"Hm? No, dumb people cannot see Luna even if he is your man."
She said innocently as if she didn't understand.
"You... you are so little and know how to make fun of me?"
Sylvia wanted to grab her and deal with her, but seeing the weird looks around, she quickly walked away from the crowd to avoid misunderstandings.
Just as she entered a luxurious mansion at the center of the city, a sharp shout filled with concern sounded from inside,
"You brat, where have you gone without notifying anyone? Do you know how scared I was?"
Evelyn scowled at Sylvia after seeing her return late and going outside without notifying anyone.
"Mom, I am already old enough. There is no need to worry about me."
"Sigh! You kid. Why are you so stubborn? Your father has already called off the marriage. When will you return?"
Evelyn said with her hand on her head. She didn't know what to do with this stubborn girl.
"Mom, has Ian returned to the capital?"
Suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere, Sylvia asked about Ian.
"No, he left for the border. It will most likely take a month or two for him to return."
Evelyn replied subconsciously, then looked at Sylvia with a weird expression. She already knew about her daughter's feelings but was conflicted about what to say.
"Oh? Then let's wait."
Sylvia said and went inside.
"There is still some time, anyway."
This time her voice was so soft that her mom didn't hear it.
"But the longer we wait, the more unstable the path will become."
Luna said on her shoulder anxiously.
"Tch... don't worry about such things. It won't take long."
Sylvia reassured her quickly, giving a beautiful smile in a good mood.
...
"Young Master, have you arrived?"
Lancel gave a knightly salute to Ian with a slightly stiff expression. Unlike before, his behavior this time was more cautious after arriving at Bridgeport city.
"Yes, it took some time to reach. Is everything alright?"
"Everything is in order, young master. But because of the secret operation a few days ago, there is a shortage of soldiers. However, I've already sent a letter, and help should arrive soon."
Lancel said while cold sweat appeared on his head, remembering the secret operation four days ago.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
At that time, he was still on his way with the expedition team when the entire Empire was shocked by the news.
It was said that Lord Thomas at the border was dissatisfied with Duke Eldric because of the expedition quota, and he rebelled.
When Duke Eldric found out about it, he was so angry that he directly sent 1,000 Crimson Legion in Stormchasers and blood bathed the entire 5,000 soldiers in cold blood.
Even Lord Thomas was killed in the fight. Moreover, the entire Bridgeport city was also in chaos as he didn't know how many people were killed as an accomplished rebel.
He heard that Duke Eldric took this behavior as a great provocation and decided to conduct a secret operation to curb all the subordinates who had ambition.
So, at this time, the entire northern duchy was in an anxious and fearful state. Even prestigious aristocrats were scared as they didn't know if the sharp sword would fall on them if they made some mistake.
Ian looked at his expression and understood his nervousness. He indeed saw it right, as his father handled this matter more ruthlessly than he thought.
"Okay, don't worry about that for now. The expedition will be postponed until the new support arrives. You can take your time, and I have something to do."
"Yes, young master."
Lancel bowed and returned to his duty.
Ian looked at his leaving figure, lost in his thoughts.
'It has already been four days; I have finally adapted to the increased power.'
Previously, he thought too lightly of his bloodline awakening, feeling that all he got was a single passive skill and a few increases in body strength.
However, after leaving the cave, he found out how wrong he was.
"Swoosh!"
Suddenly, Ian clenched his right hand lightly, but this simple act made a sizzling sound while the air around him automatically displaced.
"As powerful as ever!"
Ian smiled in satisfaction. Previously, if he wanted to show this effect, he had to draw the Life energy out of his seed and disperse it outside actively, an action akin to a waste of energy.
However, after his bloodline awakened, he realized that unlike before, Life energy was now flowing all over his body along with his blood, not sitting inside the seed like before.
So, unsurprisingly, now he didn't need to draw anything actively at all to fight.
His simple punch was already as powerful as his all-out attack with SpellBlade.
'Did I become a one-punch man?'
Ian laughed narcissistically.
'But I think now even a Grand Knight might not be my opponent.'
Although Ian didn't know how strong a Grand Knight was, he was sure they still couldn't passively use their Life energy like he was doing now.
Only when someone reached the Legendary Knight Realm could they possibly utilize everything in their body without obstruction.
So, all in all, Ian was now in a different dimension than all the knights on this Gravethrone continent. He couldn't be judged just by his mere Knightly realm.
