Chapter 152: News from Oliveira (Please subscribe, please vote)
19 Lombard Street,
Second floor, living room.
Loyi was the maid of Duke Aphra who was being received here, the pretty girl whom he had already met once.
At this time, the pretty girl was handing over a piece of news. The rolled-up paper was not big, but it was wrapped with gold thread.
Obviously, this is no ordinary paper either.
Luo Yi took a look but didn't answer. Instead, he said, "I think it's better not to look at it."
"This contains information about Oliveira, the captain of the Raymond family's guards. Do you really not care?"
"Oliveira is not dead?"
As if he was electrocuted, Luo Yi stood up, took a step forward, and was already in front of the girl. He snatched the gold paper, opened it, and looked down.
Ever since he learned about the destruction of the Raymond family, although he didn't say it, Roy had already tacitly assumed that Oliveira was dead.
The thousand-year-old family had such a profound foundation, but it was all gone. In comparison, a third-level transcendent seemed so insignificant.
But at this moment, when he heard the news again, Luo Yi couldn't help it.
The pretty girl spoke at the right moment: "He's not dead yet, but it's hard to say what will happen later."
Luo Yi finished reading ten lines at a glance. Looking up again, he said, "A fourth-level expert is chasing Teacher Oliveira?"
“Yes, the direction Oliveira fled was the Habsburg Empire. We have reason to believe that he was coming to find you.
I think I have something to give you."
"Has the identity of the fourth-level expert been confirmed? Is it that mysterious force, or a well-known expert?"
The reason why Luo Yi said this is because there are only a limited number of third-level extraordinary people, let alone fourth-level extraordinary people.
It's almost like one person per job, and each one is well-known.
If we can lock down the identity, we will know who the enemy is and naturally get more information.
However, the girl's answer still disappointed him: "Right now, all we know is that he is a sworn knight. His awakened fighting spirit is earth-based. He has no mount, but his defense is amazing. Standing on the ground, he is almost invincible."
"His defense is amazing, does that mean he's a little slow?"
"Isn't this one of the reasons why Oliveira was able to escape for so long??!"
"Wait, you've been on the run for so long? That means you've been getting the news for days?"
"To be precise, it's been three days since I first received the news!"
"Three days, three days?"
Luo Yi's voice rose immediately, and even anger appeared on his face: "Three days, it's been three days, why are you telling me now?"
Luo Yi is not a person who gets angry easily. Even if he kills someone, in his opinion, it is just a matter of killing and there is no need to get angry.
But at this moment, at this moment, he was really angry and his eyes were red.
Even when the Raymond family was destroyed, he was not so angry, but when he heard about Oliveira's behavior, he couldn't help it.
In his heart, the teacher who is both a teacher and a friend is much more important than the title of earl or a thousand-year-old family.
When Luo Yi was angry, a huge power surged up. The pretty girl suddenly took a step back and her face turned pale.
Looking at Luo Yi who seemed to be ready to devour someone, her elegant smile, which had been honed through thousands of times, froze, and her eyes were full of shock.
She is the maid of Duke Aphra, and has naturally seen many powerful people. She is not just a vase, she has her own secret inheritance, and her strength is definitely not weak.
But facing Luo Yi at this moment, she felt like she was facing a giant dragon. The dragon's might that was blooming wantonly made her feel the fear of facing a superior creature, and the hairs on her body stood up.
This was an almost unbelievable thing, but it happened, and it also completely dispelled the slight contempt she had for Luo Yi.
Without hesitation, she immediately explained, "That was a battle between a fourth-order and a transcendent. How could it be so easy to determine?"
"We got the news by chance, and immediately mobilized our forces to track them down.
Three days was definitely fast enough. The news was not transmitted until it was confirmed that Oliveira was fighting a strange fourth-level warrior.
"I just got the news and came to you immediately. There was absolutely no delay."
After hearing this, Luo Yi thought for a moment and realized that the other party was not lying to him.
It can even be said that their ability to lock onto the routes and areas of these two people is already quite remarkable, and it must have come at a huge cost.
Closing his eyes slightly and taking several deep breaths, Luo Yi finally suppressed his anger.
When he opened his eyes again, he had regained his sanity. Looking at the pretty girl, he said, "I was so concerned that I lost my composure. I apologize to you here."
The pretty girl quickly took another step back, lowered her head slightly, and said, "Emily doesn't dare. It's Emily who didn't explain it clearly in time!"
Luo Yi ignored him and paced around the room with his head down.
His pace became faster and faster, showing that he was very restless, but after a while, he stopped in front of the pretty girl again.
"Let's go!"
"Where are you going, Master?"
"Duke Aphra, isn't he already waiting for me there?"
"Yes!"
…
Outside No. 19 Lombardy Street, the carriage had already been prepared. The pure white, flawless magical horse kicked its legs casually, as if it was about to gallop out.
When Luo Yi and the pretty girl opened the door and walked out, they got on the carriage without hesitation.
Ange flashed out from the shadows and wanted to get in the car, but Roy shook his head and stopped him.
With almost no hesitation, the driver shook the reins and the carriage rushed out, carrying a gust of wind and heading out of the city at the fastest speed.
This carriage was even more luxurious than the one left by Earl Raymond, but Roy really didn't have the heart to look at it.
He rubbed his brows to soothe the boiling emotions in his heart, while constantly calculating the gains and losses.
What he had to consider was certainly not the question of whether to save him or not. That was Oliveira, the teacher whom he had entrusted his life to, and he had to save him no matter what.
He was thinking about how to convince his adopted mother, and after he had put up his bargaining chips, what should he do in the future?
His mind raced, and for a moment, Luo Yi didn't know how many thoughts were going through his mind.
This journey was not short, but at this moment, he felt that time passed so quickly.
Provence Manor.
On the second floor, in the study.
Luo Yi met the elegant lady here again. He didn't want to beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
"Lord Duke Aphra, what price do I need to pay for you to rescue Oliveira?"
The lady's smile remained unchanged as she asked, "What should you call me?"
Luo Yi's expression froze, and he hesitated before saying, "Um, um, mother!"
This sentence was not only awkward, but also spoken in a very low voice, but the lady still laughed happily.
She asked, "You seem to value Oliveira more than the entire Raymond family?"
Roy did not deny it either: "The Raymond family is too big and there is no place for me; Oliveira protected me a lot and saved me many times.
So, in my mind, it is clear what is more important."
Having said this, he took a deep breath and said, "Just tell me, what do you need to do to make a move?"
Aphra nodded slowly and said, "Since you want to save her, I will help you."
This time, Luo Yi was at a loss. He hurriedly asked, "Wait, that's it?"
“That’s it!”
"Well, no other requests? Like, I have to go back with you or something?"
"Whether to go back or not, you have to think it over carefully. And since this is something your son asked me to do, I will do it!"
At this point, her expression became serious for a moment, and she added, "However, you must also understand that he is a powerful fourth-level knight. No matter where he is placed, he can walk sideways."
“Although we can deploy personnel, it will be much slower, and we also have to determine their specific locations.
So, I will do my best to save Oliveira, and whether I can save him depends on how long he can hold on."
"Just try your best."
Luo Yi nodded without hesitation and said, "I have another request?"
"you say?"
"I want to come along!"
The noble lady's smile faded, and she stared at Luo Yi seriously, saying, "On the battlefield, anything can happen. There's no such thing as a foolproof plan.
No one can guarantee your safety, are you sure you want to go?"
Luo Yi narrowed his eyes and said firmly: "I'm sure!"
"In that case, just follow them. However, if you can't keep up, they won't wait for you!"
"I know."
"Then you'll be given two hours. Set off here in two hours."
"I'll get ready right away."
Luo Yi responded and turned away without any delay.
In the study, he still maintained some composure, but as soon as he walked out of the room, he jumped directly from the upstairs.
The man was in mid-air, already taking steps, his figure sweeping out like a hurricane.
Upstairs, the lady watched and couldn't help but smile.
The pretty girl came closer and said, "Master, it seems that the young master's strength is even more exaggerated than what is recorded in the news?"
"Isn't this a good thing? If you are strong, you won't die easily. This world is very dangerous!"
Having said that, the lady's smile faded and she asked, "Have you made the contact?"
"Two fourth-level warriors are already rushing here, namely Talon the Raptor Claw and Bane the Half-Giant."
"Then use another magic scroll to notify them and ask them to hurry up. Also, help me find out the details of that fourth-level person."
The expression on Afra's face gradually faded, turning into an icy look. "There's always a number of fourth-level people. I want to know who it is."
It's a little late, sorry!
