Chapter 798 – Pegasus Welcomes Guests
Chapter 798 – Pegasus Welcomes Guests
Although Saul didn’t see how Kismet stopped Ophelia, he was sure that guy must have a way.
In the middle of his thoughts, Saul had already landed on the westernmost coast of the continent of Ethkelper.
At first, in order to find the people of the Glow Family as soon as possible and get rid of Ophelia’s control, Saul purposely chose the most populated harbor.
However, before Saul landed, a black shadow suddenly surfaced on a hill closer to the harbor, and then that black shadow flew towards Saul at an extremely fast speed.
When he got closer, Saul realized that the black shadow was actually a huge coffin, nearly three meters long, surrounded by black wood, a kind of coffin with a wide top and a narrow bottom.
Saul immediately stopped.
The coffin on the opposite side also stopped at a distance of less than thirty meters away from Saul, suspended in the air.
Saul narrowed his eyes, the opposite side was also a third-ranked sorcerer.
Although in the continent of Iskiper, where the Stargate Council was stationed, the number of third-order sorcerers was certainly quite a lot, he did not expect that there would be one in the vicinity of a random city he was looking for.
Because sorcerer resources were also limited, especially in the vicinity of ordinary people’s cities there were rarely any high-rank sorcery materials, so most high-rank sorcerers would be concentrated in a few areas.
After the pitch-black coffin on the opposite side stopped, the lid on top of it slowly opened, revealing the black soil that filled it to the brim.
The soil was mixed with dead leaves and grayish-white stones inside, and it looked like soil that had been turned out of a random field.
A pale arm then came out of it, followed by a bare shoulder, an equally pale body, and a long, thin neck with purplish-red veins that could be clearly seen.
Just …… no head.
The top of the neck suddenly tightened, and from the tip of the thumb thick, a purplish red rhizome emerged, and after growing 5 centimeters in height, it abruptly separated and turned into two huge leaves with jagged edges.
Somewhat like a flytrap.
Bright green on the outside, bright red on the inside.
There is a sound coming from near the other’s neck.
“Sorcerer Thor, you should stay in the land of no man. That is your territory and your duty.”
The other party was supposed to be from the Stargate Council, but Sol didn’t expect him to speak in such an overbearing manner.
“Since it’s a territory, it’s not a cage.” Sol said with a smile, “I haven’t asked if Your Excellency is?”
“Ole. But that’s not important, you should go back.”
Saul lowered his eyes and looked down at the harbor and waves below, “What if I don’t go back?”
Grass-headed and lying in the dirt, Ole pulled his other arm out of the dirt.
The arm began to shrink from the smaller arm and transformed into a vine of the same purplish red color, which was tipped with the same pair of leaves with jagged shaped edges.
“Then I’ll send you back.” The other party’s voice was cold, not like he was joking.
Saul smiled, “That depends on whether or not you have the skills.”
Seeing that the two were about to break out into a conflict, the humanoid package being carried by Saul shivered.
Although Kate couldn’t see outside, her mental power could roughly sense what was happening.
He didn’t want to stay in the middle of two third-rank wizards who were about to break out into a fight.
It was so hard to get out of the cat’s body, but he didn’t realize that the price was to enter the mermaid’s body and be so ugly.
“If I had known, I wouldn’t have wished on the white porcelain cat so early. The wish was granted, but the way it was realized was too pitiful!”
Just as Kate was worried about her own safety and the atmosphere between Saul and Ole was getting tense, another powerful wave of magic power erupted from the mountain Ole had just come over, bringing up a wave of air that flew over in a loud and powerful manner.
Saul and Ole looked at the visitor at the same time, neither of them choosing to make a move at this time.
When the incoming person came closer, Saul realized that it was actually someone he recognized.
Stargate Council, Saul didn’t know many people, except for Mentor Golza who was barely considered as its insider, the other one was the one who used to be his rival, and later became his companion because of the outbreak of the Black Tide in the Land of the Masterless – Keri who was good at emotion control.
After not seeing each other for nearly a year, the other party is still a senior second-order sorcerer, and it seems that it’s really very difficult to enter the third-order.
Keri was still expressionless, wearing a gorgeous rococo style dress, looking more like a doll than a living person.
She could see the tension between Saul and Ole, and even before she got close, she gave off a fresh scent of vapor that was different from seawater.
It made both Saul and Ole’s tense heartstrings relax a little.
Most noticeably, Ole withdrew his arm, which had turned into a purplish-red vine, back within the soil. Seeing this, Corey’s face was expressionless, but his heart was relieved.
She, a second-order sorcerer, had limited influence on two third-order sorcerers. Being able to ease the atmosphere was mostly because both sides didn’t really want to fight either.
It was more about arrogantly testing the waters, and the confidence to face the test head on.
When he came between Saul and Ole, Corey first gave Saul a slight nod, “Long time no see, Lord Saul.”
The two also used to work well together, and Saul nodded his head in return in the same way, “Greetings, Sorcerer Corey.”
Having greeted him, Corey turned to face Ole.
“Lord Ole, Lord Saul has come to Ethkiper, the guest of the Stargate Council, please let me entertain him.”
“Guest? The Stargate Council didn’t invite him either, did they?” Plant Head Oller let out a light laugh.
Corey faced the third-order Oller against the pressure, “Not a guest of the Stargate Council, but a guest of Glow as well.”
Mentioning the word glow, Oller finally loosened his tongue.
“Since they are your guests of Glow, it is only right that you entertain them.”
After saying that, Ole prepared to lie back in his coffin.
Only halfway through lying down, he suddenly stopped and stretched out the arm that was still in human form, picking up something at the edge of the coffin and throwing it down before continuing to lie down.
The bulky top lid closed automatically with a dull “thud”.
Then, like a cannonball, it bounced back into the mountains.
Only then did Corey turn around and smile at Saul.
Her smile only drove the muscles near her lips, her eyes were not changing at all.
Saul looked a little hard and pinched the bridge of his nose, “Don’t smile if you can’t.”
“No,” Corrie’s voice was undulating, the smile still fixed on her face, “The Matriarch said I should practice treating people more, I can’t keep acting like an emotionless doll.”
Key you don’t have emotion in that smile either!
Saul spat out a sentence in his mind and changed the topic, “The Ore wizard just now is not dealing with the Glow family?”
Corey glanced at Sol strangely, “He doesn’t deal with you. His student, Luke, died in the No Man’s Land.”
Luke was the very last person who was competing with Saul and Corey for the Third Order Sorcerer slot.
“His death has nothing to do with me.”
“But you are the final winner.” Corey said nonchalantly, “A third order wizard is quite an important bargaining chip.”
“When you say that, are you using yourself as a bargaining chip as well?” Saul asked with a smile.
Corey didn’t answer, “Since you’re here, do you want to pay your respects to the Glow Clan Chief, Lord Norton?”
Saul stroked his chin as he wondered if the fact that Corey would appear here and interrupt the conflict between him and Ao Le was also related to the power of fate that the Water God, Floco, had fed back to him.
“Are you waiting for me here on purpose?”
Kore turned back in surprise, she pursed her lips, “The matriarch said that if she met a guest, she could bring the person back to meet them.”
By now the two were close enough to the harbor that people on the shore could see them if they looked up.
But Sol stopped, “I’m afraid we won’t be able to meet today.”
Corey had to stop as well, she followed Sol’s gaze.
A two-rider carriage was parked by the coast at some point, and the moment her gaze touched it, the two horses pulling the carriage even suddenly exhibited a pair of huge black feathered wings.
The two horses took off suddenly with the low-profile carriage behind them, scaring the ordinary people around them into avoiding them.
Looking at the rapidly approaching dark-colored carriage, Ke Rui’s pupils suddenly widened.
“The Pegasus of the Neverwinter Nights Empire,” she suddenly realized something and immediately looked at Saul on the side, murmuring, “The highest class of seat for the Judgment Court to receive guests.”
Saul let out a bitter smile, “Probably because he’s afraid I’ll be late.”
