Shen Zhiyi raised his head.
Leo came with an army.
"Honey, I'm just here for training. If you need me, just let me know."
He saluted with one hand.
Shen Zhiyi did not refuse: “Thank you, Colonel.”
Although the purpose of this trip is to appease the people, one more troop means one more guarantee.
…
The imperial palace.
Samus lay in the inner hall, his lips pale and his breathing weak.
After removing the heart-protecting scales, his body became even weaker.
There was a sudden noise outside the hall.
"Second Master, you can't go in."
"Get out of here! How dare you block my way?" Shen Xiya's voice was sharp and murderous.
As soon as Shen Zhiyi left, she rushed over without stopping.
He wanted to use this opportunity to get rid of Samuel.
Unexpectedly, her elder sister was so scheming. Even after everyone left, she still set up an energy barrier outside the bedroom.
She couldn't get in at all.
"Your Highness, please forgive me." The maid's voice was neither humble nor arrogant. "The Grand Duke has ordered that Samuel be imprisoned in the inner palace and no one is allowed to visit him."
"Even if the queen comes, it will be no exception."
“You guys!” Shen Xiya was furious.
"Second Master, please go back." The maids spoke respectfully but with a very firm attitude.
Shen Xiya had no choice but to grit her teeth and leave in disappointment.
The hall returned to silence.
Samuel's mood was in turmoil.
Did she send someone to detain him, or to protect him?
He lowered his eyelashes, his eyes dark.
Wilga stood aside, turning around anxiously, "My dear, you are too impulsive! Without the heart scales, you..."
Samuel waved him off, his expression indifferent.
"I know what I do."
She is not allowed to come in and disturb her.
Instead, he had a good time to recuperate and could take this opportunity to further his studies.
Verga's words got stuck in his throat, and in the end he said nothing and sighed deeply.
He left and then came back.
"These are the medicinal herbs and energy crystals I found for you."
Samus absorbed it all.
What he didn't expect was that his weak body turned out to be the key to unlock the shackles.
As soon as the energies entered his exhausted meridians, they were immediately seized by an ancient and powerful force.
Then purify and absorb crazily!
Wilga was stunned at first, then he was overjoyed!
"Wu 㹏! You really are the chosen one!"
"I didn't expect that pain and weakness would actually inspire your will even more!"
"All this energy has been absorbed by 500%!"
Samus closed his eyes and felt the power surging in his body.
As if he knew how to do it naturally, he effortlessly transformed them into his energy.
In just a few days, he advanced.
Upgrade from A to S.
What was even more unexpected to him was that he could control his power level with ease and hide his strength!
To the outside world, he is still a weak A-level Ophiuchus.
No one knew he had been promoted.
"...Have you heard? The Grand Duke's patrol was attacked and injured! He might, might not be able to survive!"
Samuel suddenly opened his eyes.
His golden pupils shook violently, and his mind went blank.
How is that possible?!
He had already given her the Heart Scale, and she was also an SSS-level healer, so who could possibly hurt her?!
"puff--"
He spat out a mouthful of blood, suddenly stopped advancing, and suppressed the backlash.
With a flash, he opened the door of the hall.
"What did you say?!" He grabbed a maid out of control, his eyes bloodshot and his voice hoarse, "What happened to her?! Say it again!"
The maid turned pale with fear.
"No, I don't know..." She was frightened by Samuel's pressure and said with trembling lips, "The news has already reached the Queen's Palace..."
"I heard that the Queen sent many people to check on the Duke's safety, but none of them came back..."
"Today was supposed to be the day the princess returned to the palace..."
"But up to now, there's still no news... I'm afraid, I'm afraid his life is in danger..."
Samuel turned pale.
"Where is she?!"
He angrily asked the maid, his eyes red as he growled, "I'm asking you where she is?!"
