Chapter 49 - The Return of Princess Wei
“This Senior told us that most of the immortal clan had been eliminated, but a portion of them was still out there. We have to get the imperial court to eliminate the mages to hunt them down. Otherwise, there will definitely be a big mess,” mage Bowes said worriedly.
“Fortunately, this Senior destroyed the temple. Otherwise, we would all have died at the hands of the immortal clan!”
“Yeah, I wonder if this Senior is a hermit?”
“All the humans will be able to expel and kill such a ferocious immortal.”
“How many people died in the blood cave? The temple is a huge force and a vassal of the Faroe Kingdom. How dare they nurture the immortals? They deserve to be destroyed!”
“We must inform Lord Orne, and ask him to send a mage army to hunt down the remaining immortals!”
After seeing this, the many high-level mages present were all extremely shocked.
They had not expected to be involved in the chaos of the immortals. If not for the sale of that mysterious powerful mage, none of them would have been able to walk out alive.
At this moment, they were filled with endless gratitude towards that Senior. At the same time, they also hated the immortals.
…
Lavagh City was the largest city in Lavagh.
Lord Orne’s castle was situated there.
Since he had found out that the leader of Madajong Valley was an immortal in disguise, Lord Orne had immediately reported the situation to the kingdom. At the same time, he had organized a more powerful force and immediately conducted a more rigorous investigation.
Since there was an immortal disguised as a mortal, it was possible that there were more of them hiding among the humans.
“Report! A great mage who claims to be Bowes, the kingdom’s guardian, is here to see you, Lord!” the guard who was guarding the palace suddenly came in to report.
Lord Orne was discussing how to deal with the immortal with the high-level officials such as the judge, the great mage Branch, and the commander of the Justice Corps.
“What? Mage Bowes? Do you mean mage Bowes?”
The king’s great mage Branch suddenly stood up and revealed an ecstatic expression.
Because this great mage Bowes was the powerful mage who had been secretly protecting Princess Wei. The truly powerful guardian mage had a higher status than him.
Now that mage Bowes had appeared, didn’t it mean that Princess Wei was safe now?
At this moment, two figures had entered the hall.
It was mage Bowes and Princess Wei.
Everyone present was ecstatic. They all stood up and bowed to Princess Wei. “Greetings, Your Highness.”
The others who had not seen Princess Wei also reacted and quickly followed.
“Your Highness.” Lord Orne also bowed slightly.
Although in terms of seniority, he was Princess Wei’s elder uncle, the royal family’s etiquette still had to be followed.
“No need for formalities.”
Princess Wei waved her hand and was respectfully led to the main seat by Lord Orne. However, Princess Wei was not an arrogant person. In the face of her uncle in name, she smiled and rejected Lord Orne’s good intentions. She turned around and sat on a secondary seat at the side.
Seeing this scene, Lord Orne was a little touched. Logically speaking, she should not care about his feelings, but princess Wei gave him enough face.
Lord Orne sat down on the main seat and turned to look at Princess VI. He asked, “Your Highness, what exactly happened?”
“Let me tell you about this in detail,” mage Bowes said.
Then, they told him everything from the beginning to the end.
Everyone present was shocked.
“The disappearance of everyone had actually been the work of the temple?”
“The temple was actually cultivating a large number of the immortal clan and cultivating the Immortal Demon’s magic codex?”
“The temple had been completely destroyed by a mysterious powerhouse?”
“There were still many immortal clan members scattered in the outside world?”
The amount of information was too great, and everyone present took a long time to digest it.
“Great Mage Bowes, could the mysterious mage you mentioned be the same person as the gray-robed mage we’re looking for?” Judge Sisal suddenly asked.
“What gray-robed mage?” Princess Wei hurriedly asked.
“To answer your highness, it’s like this…”
Judge Sisal quickly told her about the mage from Madajong Valley.
“Judge Sisal, can you describe the appearance of the gray-robed mage?”
Princess Wei was a little excited because she felt that this was very close to the truth.
Soon, the student of the leader of Madajong Valley, Sika, was called in again.
“This is Her Highness the Princess. If she wants to ask you a question, give me an honest answer. There must be no lies,” Lord Orne sat on the main seat and said solemnly.
“Yes, yes, Your Highness, please ask.”
Sika’s scalp was about to explode. Even Her Highness the princess had come out.
“Tell me, what does that gray-robed mage look like?” Princess Wei asked.
“Your Highness, that mage was too powerful at that time. I only dared to take a glance at him…”
Sika told her everything that he knew.
Princess Wei felt a little regretful after hearing it because it was impossible to tell if it was Lei Luo or not.
However, that mage was very powerful, and he was wearing a gray robe. The possibility was very high!
She remembered it firmly in her heart.
…
At this moment, Lei Luo had long left Lavagh and was flying rapidly toward the imperial city.
He wanted to go back and cultivate the atlas of the gods as soon as possible.
From Lavagh to the imperial city was a distance of more than a thousand kilometers. Even the fastest warhorse or ninth-level elemental mage would not rest during the day or night when using wind-riding flight. It would take about two to three days.
With Lei Luo’s magic comprehension and mana, a trip would only take five hours.
When he returned to the Library of the Hiro Magic Academy, it had only been three days since he had left.
He did not spend much time traveling back and forth, mainly because he spent a lot of time investigating related information.
“Senior, you’re back.”
As soon as Lei Luo returned, Ailo immediately welcomed him.
“No one came to the library, right?” Lei Luo asked.
“Senior, no,” Ailo said obediently.
Lei Luo nodded. Ailo was a paper figurine and would not lie. “Remember, when I go out this time, don’t tell anyone. Even if your mother asks, don’t tell anyone, understand?”
“Yes, Senior,” Ailo nodded and said.
Because it was Lei Luo who had created him, in his heart, Lei Luo’s words would not be disobeyed.
After that, for three days in a row, Lei Luo practiced the catalog of gods in the inner room of the library.
…
On the city wall of the royal capital, the king, the queen and the prince were all looking forward to the return of Princess Wei.
During this period of time, the king had definitely missed his daughter very much and could not sleep peacefully.
He only heaved a sigh of relief when he received the news that Princess Wei was safe.
The queen was almost the same. She had lost a lot of weight.
Not long after, a large group of knights rushed over from afar. The leader of the group was a valiant and radiant female knight. If it was not Princess Wei, who else could it be?
When she saw her father, mother, and brother on the city wall, her beautiful eyes became a little moist. She immediately used the wind-controlling magic to fly up from the horse’s back. She drew a long white magic aura and landed on the city wall.
“Father, mother…” Princess Wei said happily.
“It’s good that you’re back, it’s good that you’re back…”
The king looked at his daughter and nodded repeatedly with a slight tremble.
“Father, I won’t go out in the future. I’ll always be with you.”
Princess Wei looked at her father, who had aged a lot, and her excitement lessened. Sadness welled up in her heart because her father looked much older than when she had left.
“You should have been like this a long time ago. You don’t know how worried your father has been about you during this period of time.”
Queen Lina couldn’t help but scold her, but she was still very happy.
After returning to the palace, Princess Wei didn’t stay for long and went straight to the library of the Hiro Magic Academy.
