He looked up at Luo Xiu opposite him and smiled cruelly:
"I just said you could try, but I didn't expect you to actually seek death and trigger the mark that the teacher left on me."
He looked at the figure and said respectfully:
"Teacher, this is the guy who ruined the arena! I am not skilled enough and am willing to go back and accept corporal punishment, but please take this man down now."
He knew how much his teacher valued the arena.
Even if he's sure to be punished by his teacher when he goes back, his own teacher will definitely take action against this guy named Hupper.
Just wait, just wait to feel despair. Even if you win, I will be the one who ultimately triumphs!
He lowered his head, silently waiting for his teacher to make a move.
But after a few seconds, the surroundings remained extremely quiet.
They were as quiet as if Earl Shek had never been there.
An ominous premonition rose in Kelda's heart, and he couldn't help but look up at his teacher.
The Earl of Shek in the projection wasn't looking at him at this moment. Instead, he turned to the side and looked seriously at a certain spot, as if there was someone sitting opposite him.
Kelda's eyes widened, her ominous premonition intensifying once more.
A few more seconds passed before a voice came from the other end of the projection.
It wasn't Count Shek's voice, but a hoarse voice that Kelda found very unfamiliar.
The voice was tinged with smugness and mockery:
"I told you, your students can't compare to my students."
Upon hearing this, Kelda was taken aback at first, but then quickly realized what was happening and looked up at Luo Xiu standing there.
Sitting opposite his own teacher was this guy's teacher!!
The voice continued:
"So, did you agree to the exchange I just mentioned? If not, I don't mind using my three years' worth of rights to convene the Kanril Conference, since I've never used them before."
silence.
Dead silence.
Count Shek's silence intensified Kelda's unease, and as he listened to the voice mention "exchange," his fear and anxiety reached their peak.
He looked at the projection in disbelief, wondering who could possibly threaten his teacher.
In Kanriel City, the lord of Kanriel is threatened!
This is simply a fantasy.
What exactly was the so-called Canril Conference?
He couldn't understand it, so he became increasingly afraid, but there was nothing he could do but wait for his teacher's answer.
At this moment, time seemed to stretch on endlessly. Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Count Shek opened his mouth.
He said nothing, only let out a deep sigh.
It was this sigh that plunged Kelda's heart into despair. An extremely dangerous feeling shot through his head, and his scalp tingled instantly, as if it were about to explode.
He wanted to run, but he knew that running away now would be futile.
So all he could do was shout at the projection, tears streaming down his face.
"Teacher! I know I was wrong, teacher! Please save me!!! Save me, teacher!!! Please save me!"
He cried out in tears, and if there were any soft-hearted people around him, they would surely be moved by his cries.
Unfortunately, he only had Luo Xiu by his side.
Amidst his repeated cries of "Teacher, save me!", only that hoarse voice continued speaking to Count Shek:
“Shek, I told you, you’re trapped. You’re trapped by this city.”
"I'm telling you this: if any of my Tata's students are to die today, I will definitely take action!"
"But you can't, you can't do it."
"After all these years, you are so talented, yet you still haven't even touched the threshold of the sixth tier. It's because you've been trapped by Kanriel for too long. You should know what I mean."
He finished speaking in a hoarse voice.
He paused for a few seconds, his tone softening slightly:
"Come back soon after you're done."
Everyone present knew that this was not said to Shek.
Luo Xiu nodded and said softly:
"I understand, teacher."
The crimson light that filled the sky and Count Shek's figure disappeared into the air together, and the projection ended.
Luo Xiu walked step by step toward Kelda, who was kneeling there, sobbing uncontrollably.
At this moment, Kelda seemed to have gone completely mad, kneeling there and crying out for her teacher.
Even Luo Xiu's approach couldn't make him raise his head.
Luo Xiu stared at Kelda for a few seconds with an indifferent expression before throwing a punch.
boom! !
With a deafening explosion, it seemed as if blood was raining down in the arena.
Luo Xiu slowly walked out of the arena gate amidst the rain of blood.
The deep yellow raindrops fell, hitting him and turning into wisps of pungent white smoke.
It really started raining.
This is Kanriel's unique alchemical rain.
There are always some substances in those alchemical wastes that can rise into smoke. When these substances flow into the clouds above Kanriel, they cause rain of this color. It is corrosive, but it doesn't have much of an effect on Luo Xiu.
Suddenly, Luo Xiu felt a sudden bright light before his eyes, and white lightning fell from the sky. In an instant, the entire city of Kanriel seemed to be captured in a frozen black and white photograph.
A few seconds later, a deafening clap of thunder resounded in the air.
Luo Xiu recalled what his teacher had said: the city of Kanriel rarely rains and rarely sees thunder.
Because those exploding crucibles that shoot into the sky are sometimes so powerful that they can shatter the clouds above the city.
But today...
Luo Xiu shook his head, deciding not to think about it anymore.
Winter is approaching, and perhaps it's time for things to change in Kanriel.
P.S.: There's not much rain in winter, friends.
Chapter 110 Misunderstanding
When Luo Xiu returned home that night, Tassanya had already prepared a meal in the cubicle shop.
"This dish was specially made for you, Master, by Lady Leila using the Knights' kitchen."
Tassanya served a bowl of spicy braised pork ribs.
"Ah."
Looking at the food in front of him, Luo Xiu was genuinely hungry and began to eat.
Halfway through the meal, as if remembering something, he looked up at Tassanya and said:
"By the way, Tassanya, go install the doors later. I brought back two really nice doors today, both high-end products."
"Yes, Master."
After finishing his meal, Luo Xiu looked at the newly installed door and nodded in satisfaction.
He ultimately decided to install the door to the house of the Knights first. The Knights' door was too conspicuous, and if the Knights found it, someone would come and disturb his alchemy.
Once everything is done, I can sleep peacefully.
Silent all night.
Luo Xiu slept exceptionally well that night, but some of the people in Kanriel were clearly not so soundly asleep.
……
"Kelda is dead?"
Green sat up as he listened to the new news brought by the bearded man.
"The news came from the Vice Dean, so it shouldn't be wrong."
His stubble, eyeshadow-covered brows, and eyes held a serious expression.
"It's said that it was killed by one of Master Tata's newly accepted students."
"Most importantly, the Earl doesn't seem to have any intention of avenging his student at all."
He looked at Green and said:
“Kanriel has been acting very strangely lately. You need to be careful during this time. Don’t make any rash moves before you find out who Master Tata’s new student is.”
Upon hearing this, Green frowned deeply:
"The grudge from last time..."
"That will probably have to wait."
The bearded man sighed.
Green's brow furrowed even more.
……
"Kelda is dead?"
The swordswoman who had accompanied Green earlier also received the message.
