Xiao Dai's journey was smooth. Although he saw knights carrying torches and mysterious devices they had thrown down along the way, he did not disturb or trigger them. Instead, after memorizing those places, he returned to the rabbit hole.
And so the night passed peacefully.
"Brother Liu Lang, you're getting more and more amazing! You've even mastered silent refining!"
"Haha, not at all! It's just a few tricks."
However, despite saying that, Liu Lang was indeed quite proud of himself. After all, he had been refining the material all night without making any sound or noise. Although the manufacturing speed had slowed down, it was still pretty impressive, right?
"Um, wait a moment."
Just as everyone was preparing to leave the forest again, Veroshia suddenly looked at the necklace floating on her chest with some surprise.
That was a farewell gift that the Archmage Azro had given her.
Now that she has cast a tracking spell on this farewell gift, if it starts floating on its own now, wouldn't that mean Lord Azro is nearby?!
"In the north..."
Princess Shiya looked in the direction the necklace was floating. That was Dawn City. Could it be that the Archmage wasn't on the Stormfront?
In any case, she could no longer hide in the village.
Actually, there was one thing she hadn't made clear to Liu Lang and Dai Shanren: she had been waiting for the knights to arrive in the village.
But... but not these corrupted knightly orders!
They ultimately couldn't escape their father's pursuit...
Father Emperor...
"You want to walk alone? Aren't you afraid of the danger?"
Seeing Verosia standing hesitantly in place, Liu Lang jokingly said something, but to his surprise, she didn't refute his joke.
Liu Lang was taken aback at first, then frowned and asked.
"You don't really want to leave alone, do you? What about those knights? Don't you have a mission? Anyway, we both came here by accident, so what difference does it make where we go?"
Besides, our enemies are also demons, so let's consider us allies, Ninth Princess.
"An ally...?"
Princess Shiya was hearing these words for the first time and stared at the two of them in a daze.
"Yes, yes, wasn't I also saved by Miss Shiya? Otherwise, I might not even know who picked me up."
Xiao Dai also stepped forward and said.
"But I only brought you back to your room. At that time, I didn't dare to use magic, so I could only gather some life energy every day to help you recover."
But in fact, you could recover on your own without my help. On the contrary, you saved me many times afterward and even brought me food... I... I..."
Veroshia was so moved that she trembled.
Liu Lang is in a real bind!
"Alright, alright, let's get going. Don't get too emotional. Just think of it as a promise. We're also facing an invasion from the demons over there. Consider this trip as our way home."
"Rest assured! As the Ninth Princess of the Empire, I assure you that I will help you return to your homeland. Please trust the promises of the royal family."
Verosia did indeed need powerful guards to protect her, so she did not refuse the two men again. Moreover, they were not from the Empire, so there was no need to worry about them being corrupted.
That power... she swore... it was definitely not a good power!
Father Emperor...
"There it is! The device has been triggered!"
They stood outside for a while before being spotted by the pursuing knights.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that there was an extremely well-hidden device being triggered behind a hillside not far away.
"It's a reconnaissance magic device; no wonder they came looking for us."
Princess Shiya quickly hid behind Xiao Dai, while Xiao Dai raised the Holy Shield and looked at Liu Lang.
Without saying a word, Liu Lang released nine weapon clones.
"Let's go, they'll be too busy to take care of themselves."
Liu Lang directly replicated the three of them, and so three weapon clone teams, identical to them, moved east, west, and south, while they hid first.
After those people went to pursue them, the three of them officially set off, heading north towards the City of Dawn.
...
Shortly after they left, an uninvited guest arrived in the village. He followed Princess Verosia's scent all the way and finally located it in the direction north of the forest.
"Hehe... Dawn City, what a coincidence. A storm is about to break out there. In that case, I don't need to continue the pursuit."
"Let him have it. This is really interesting."
After the man left, the village was surrounded by purple clouds, and none of the villagers noticed anything unusual; they continued to live as before.
But... is there really nothing unusual?
The spirit beast, Big Rabbit, stared blankly ahead at the forest, while the slightly larger rabbit behind her looked at its mother with a puzzled expression. She was the same rabbit who had encountered Liu Lang several times before.
A storm is brewing...
...
Five days later, two men and a woman appeared outside Dawn City. However, they were not running on the ground. Instead, Xiao Dai became the coachman, Liu Lang became the knight guard, and Princess Shiya was hidden in the carriage.
"Stop!"
The guards of Dawn City stopped Liu Lang.
"We are honored guests of the Rocks family, invited by Rocks to this meeting. How dare you stop us?"
"I don't care what kind of distinguished guest you are, check your customs documents!"
After the guards at the entrance finished their inspection, I discussed it with my teammates and then let them in.
