656: Chapter 207 Sura, I am ing (Part 2)_1 656: Chapter 207 Sura, I am ing (Part 2)_1 “No need, it’s fine as it is now, you know, I enjoy the quiet.” Slowly turning around, Sura’s expression remained as indifferent as ever, especially the dead, dull light flickering in her beautiful dark blue eyes, enough to make anyone shrink back at a glance.
Maximo took a few steps forward, stopping only when he was five meters away from Sura, “In a few days, the martial arts petition will begin.
This petition will gather the most outstanding individuals under thirty from our kingdom, as well as princes and nobles from our allied countries.”
Sura responded indifferently, “What does that have to do with me?”
A look of regret flashed in Maximo’s eyes, “My dear Phoenix, you are, after all, a girl.
Girls are meant to marry someday, don’t you ever think about that?
All I want is for you to be happy.”
Sura laughed, but her cold smile made Maximo shudder, “Happy?
Can I even speak of happiness?
Since the day I was born, it seems as if those two words were never in my dictionary.
Agreeing to bee the prize of this martial arts petition is the last thing I’ll do for you.
Once it’s over, you go your way, I’ll go mine.
Or rather, you are the enemy who killed my mother and brother.”
Happiness, when these two words arose in her heart, the most profound impression in her mind became crystal clear.
Those clear eyes, handsome appearance, the elegance while playing the zither, and his silly demeanor—all deeply engraved in Sura’s heart.
Yin Zhu, in this life we are not fated, but if there’s a next life, perhaps…
While Sura was lost in her thoughts of him, the Ye Yinzhu she longed for had already arrived in Landias’ Imperial City.
Like Milan, Landias was one of the first countries to form after the split of the Ryuzakinus Dragon Empire.
The imperial capital shared the same name as the country: Landias City.
The massive city sprawled out like a monstrous beast, with at least five hundred soldiers guarding the city gates.
The thick city walls had an ancient flavor, and atop them waved the Black Phoenix flag, symbolizing the Landias Royal Clan.
Zi stood next to Ye Yinzhu, frowning, “Why are there so many soldiers at these city gates?
I remember Milan City only had about two hundred.
Could it be because of the war?”
Ye Yinzhu explained, “It’s not because of war.
This is Landias’ capital; the war couldn’t affect this place from afar, at least not outwardly.
The increased guard presence at the city gates must be because of the martial arts petition.
Let’s go.
I have a way.”
Raising a hand to his face, his original handsome features suddenly changed, still handsome but a lot less so pared to his natural looks.
The martial arts petition attracted warriors from various countries, and unlike Zi who could alter his appearance using his Divine Beast’s powers, such as Sura’s former disguise technique, Ye Yinzhu had a mask given to him by Zi.
This mask had only been used once in Faran and there was no need to worry about being recognized.
The group of four followed the flow of people towards the city gates.
They noticed that entry required proof of identity, such as passage documents issued by towns or cities, and without such proof, no one was allowed to enter.
As Ye Yinzhu and his group approached the city gates, they immediately caught the attention of the guards.
With their appearance, it was impossible not to be noticed.
Ye Yinzhu was dressed in a Magic Robe, the standard Mage attire, followed by three tall, burly men, each over two meters tall.
Zi, Ming, and Glacis had all used Transformation Techniques, available to Advanced-rank Magical Beasts and Divine Beasts, to change their stature to around two meters tall while also disguising their appearance to be very ordinary.
Coupled with their simple attire, standing behind Ye Yinzhu the Mage, they clearly looked like attendants.
However, no matter how they disguised themselves and even if they reduced their stature, their robust physiques still exuded an inherent dominance, unmatchable by ordinary people.
As Ye Yinzhu and his panions arrived, a guard in a captain’s uniform promptly approached, not due to the muscular presence of the three men acpanying Ye Yinzhu but because of the Magic Robe he wore.
The Divine Source Magic Robe was pure white, a color generally worn by Light attribute Mages, and Mages’ status was inparable to other occupations in any kingdom.
Despite Ye Yinzhu’s youthful appearance, the captain treated him with the utmost courtesy.
“Greetings, respected Mage sir,” the captain said.
Ye Yinzhu nodded without speaking, and though wearing a mask, his elegant and noble demeanor was still unmistakably present, giving off an aura of pride that made the guard captain dare not underestimate him.
“Mage sir, in light of our Kingdom’s current martial arts petition, all who seek to enter the city must present proof of identity.
If you would be so kind as to…”
Ye Yinzhu gave a faint smile and lifted his left hand.
With a flash of light from the Sumeru Divine Ring, an insignia appeared in his grasp, which he extended toward the person in front of him.
The guard captain received the insignia, and someone immediately came up with a special magical product.
A faint magical glow enveloped the insignia.
A look of relief spread across the guard captain’s face, “So you are a mage from the Arcadia Kingdom.”
What Ye Yinzhu had given him was the insignia he had acquired at the Mage’s Guild in Luna City of the Arcadia Kingdom after leaving the blue sky and sea.
Although it was of low rank, it certified his identity.
While the Arcadia Kingdom was weak, the identity as a mage still made the guards in front of him dare not to show disrespect.
Pointing at Zi and the other two, Ye Yinzhu asked, “They are my servants, do you need proof of identity for them as well?”
Maybe because there had been many important figures from different countries visiting recently, the guards were accustomed to seeing servants.
Since they had confirmed that the person was a mage from the allied Arcadia, how could they dare to hinder him?
They quickly indicated that it was not necessary and respectfully made way for them to enter the city.
Just as Ye Yinzhu and his group were about to enter the city, the sound of thundering hooves suddenly arose, quickly approaching the city gates.
The shouting from behind drew Ye Yinzhu’s attention, and the four turned to look.
A troop was approaching at lightning speed, astonishingly, it was a unit of Dragon Cavalry, numbering around thirty.
Aside from the leader, all the others rode Eric Minlong.
The leader rode an extremely majestic red lion.
His red hair billowed behind his head.
The giant lion, over seven meters long and nearly three meters in height, made the Eric Minlong behind it seem almost insignificant in presence.
The knight on the giant lion was over two meters three, and his fiery red Armor shone intimidatingly under the sunlight.
The knight didn’t wear a helmet, allowing his long red hair to fly freely.
His handsome and resolute features bore an expressionless face, yet the domineering aura was unmistakable.
The gasps arose precisely because of the appearance of this giant lion.
Among the people lined up waiting to enter the city, all the mounts quivered at the presence of the giant lion, and weaker creatures like Unicorns even collapsed on the ground in fear.
What a strong presence, Ye Yinzhu thought to himself, noting that despite the man appearing to be under thirty, the aura he radiated was incredibly powerful.
He wasn’t attempting to conceal it, and that sovereign aura could not be feigned.
“It’s a Fire Cloud Lion, an Advanced rank Nine superior magical beast, the same tier as Haiyang’s Snow Dragon Leopard.
Its Fire Magic is strong, and it has formidable close bat abilities.
Look, there are two golden stripes under the ribs of the Fire Cloud Lion.
When necessary, they can extend into wings, granting it the ability to fly.
Among rank Nine Beasts, it’s at the pinnacle.”
Zi’s voice echoed deep in Ye Yinzhu’s mind, briefing him about the newer.
Clearly, this fiery figure was no less powerful than the Venus Dragon Knight, and might even possess the strength of a Purple Star Dragon Knight.
Soon, the newer arrived, and everyone outside the city gates quickly cleared a path.
Who would dare contend with Dragon Cavalry, not to mention the even more fearsome Fire Cloud Lion?
Glacis snorted coldly, being a Divine Beast, he was used to being imperious, and the arrogant demeanor of the Fire Cloud Lion displeased him greatly.
“Glacis, do not cause trouble,” Ye Yinzhu said in a low tone, stopping him from rushing forward.
However, the hint of irritation in Glacis’ snort had already drawn the attention of the Fire Cloud Lion, which slowed its galloping pace, and its fiery red eyes curiously looked towards Glacis.
Ye Yinzhu waved his hand, “Let’s enter the city.” As he spoke, he led the way inside.
He was not one to shy away from trouble, but for Sura’s sake, he had to remain restrained in Landias’ Imperial Capital.
The Fire Cloud Lion Knight, sensing a change in his always close panion, wondered why it suddenly hesitated.
The only noticeable presence near the city gate was Ye Yinzhu’s group of four.
The Fire Cloud Lion Knight’s gaze immediately followed Ye Yinzhu, but by then, Ye Yinzhu and his panions had already entered the city.
Entering Landias City, everything felt pletely different from Milan City.
Although both cities were the capitals of the two great empires of Ryuzakinus, the contrasts between the north and the south were stark.
Milan City had more of a rugged and bold feel, while Landias City felt more refined and delicate.
This was evident from the people on the streets—the Milanese were mostly tall, whereas the people of Landias were relatively shorter but had much fairer and delicate skin.
Clearly, this was determined by the differing climates of the north and south.(To be continued, for further content, please visit .
