"What do you think?"
After withdrawing his original magical ability, Wang Lu didn't care about the magician and priest who fell from mid-air and just asked Aya with a smile.
Aya said, "Very powerful, you always surprise me."
For Aya, the destruction of that team of adventurers was not surprising. Although their bloodstained scroll was a new thing, under the cover of the bloodstained scroll, the power of the ten people's concentrated fire was really amazing. However, if Wang Lu couldn't even overcome such a crisis, then he was not the Wang Lu that Aya was familiar with.
However, even so, Aya didn't expect that Wang Lu and the others actually solved the problem in the most direct way: universal law, cultivation base conversion!
Demon wolf Fenrir was a native creature of the Western Continent, but for some reason, it ran to Nine Regions. Because it grew up in Nine Regions, it could be considered as having two advantages. Bai Shixuan was a mountain spirit, so she had the deepest understanding of the mountains and rivers. Moreover, immortal beasts were psychic, so in terms of perception, they were often stronger than complex human beings. However, Wang Lu and Liu Li have solidly comprehended the laws of the Western Continent and immediately applied what they learned.
Was cultivation base conversion that difficult? Not necessarily. Aya herself completed the cultivation base conversion in Nine Regions as a legendary profession, from the Knight King to the Sword Immortal of Nine Regions. Although she rarely made her move in Nine Regions, people on Spirit Sword Mountain were very clear that when she went all out, her strength was comparable to that of a Supreme of Unity Stage — of course, when her body of the brave departed was incomplete, going all out was tantamount to suicide.
However, it took Aya more than ten years to complete the cultivation base conversion. Of course, that was because her cultivation base was too high, which was why it was slow. However, Wang Lu was able to comprehend the law in just a few days (including the time after sailing at sea near the Western Continent), which was really admirable.
Aya suddenly felt that her body of the brave departed had become a bit more solid, which made her startled.
Obviously, it was because her trust in Wang Lu had increased a bit, which strengthened her sense of identity with the way to win the war, thus her body of the brave departed had become more stable.
Heh, if this continues, perhaps one day it will really be possible … However, when he thought of his country that had already passed away, he could not see any hope at all.
However, that was not something to consider now. For the time being … let's see how far Wang Lu could go.
In response to Aya's praise, Wang Lu smiled and placed his right fist on his chest. "I will fight for you, my Queen."
Aya was stunned for a moment. Looking at the familiar etiquette, she felt as if she had returned to more than a hundred years ago. She stood in the hall surrounded by her ministers, shining brightly. Her Royal Highness was a group of steel-like knights, invincible and successful. The best men of the kingdom gathered in one place, fervently swearing eternal loyalty to their king.
But in the blink of an eye, the illusion in front of her was restrained by Aya's strong willpower. The woman nodded and corrected him, "Your posture is correct, but strictly speaking, I am not a queen."
Not considered a queen? Wang Lu was a bit puzzled. Before he set off, he vowed to help Aya restore her country, so naturally, he had to check the relevant information. The information in Nine Regions was limited, but Aya's former Knight King name could be considered as illustrious, which was recorded in some historical records of the Western Continent. How could she not be a queen? Could it be because...
After thinking about it, Wang Lu comforted her with a smile, "Don't belittle yourself like that. Although it's only A cup, at least your face is good-looking! It doesn't matter if you call me queen. "
"You …" Even though Aya had always been known for her tolerance and humility, at this time, she also felt that it was good to occasionally kill.
However, it was related to her own reputation and even the reputation of the kingdom, so Aya seriously explained, "When I was on the throne, I didn't show myself as a woman to the world. Except for a few people, most people didn't even know that I was a woman."
This was, of course, to maintain the majesty of the King. If Aya was in another profession, it would be fine. However, with her petite and exquisite body, she walked the most valiant knight path. A female knight might be a beautiful story in the folklore, but in the end, it was not as oppressive as a man.
However, as soon as Aya finished her explanation, she felt that things were going to get worse. Sure enough, as soon as her voice fell, she saw that Wang Lu looked at her with more sympathy.
"Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, no one knew about it! I can understand your pain. My condolences. "
"Condolences what!" Aya was seething with anger. She felt that her many years of upholding the knight's spirit had been insulted. If this happened a hundred years ago, a duel would be inevitable.
However, this time, it was too late. Because when Aya was ready to carefully argue with Wang Lu, another group of uninvited guests came.
It was a team of knights riding on horses and wearing silver armors. From afar, they were very aggressive. After returning to the Western Continent, Aya's strength continued to recover. When she first saw this team of knights, her eyes could not help but turn cold.
The strength of these people was quite good. Each of them was on the threshold of being promoted to a high order profession. In Nine Regions, they were around Xudan Stage. Their equipment and horses were extraordinary. If they were put on the battlefield, if there were no opponents with the same strength, perhaps tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops would be scattered.
Even in her Kingdom, which was famous for producing outstanding Knights, this was still considered an expert. And here, in the vicinity of Deep Earth City, if she wasn't mistaken, they should be the personal guards of Deep Earth City's City Lord.
When Aya saw the two gray-brown robed shield guards at the back of the team of knights, she was even more sure of her conjecture. Because they were the specialty of Deep Earth City, Deep Earth Guardians. They wore heavy armor and could communicate with the earth and borrow the power of the earth. The strength of these two people was not inferior to the dozen people in front of them. They should be the right and left arms of the City Master.
The mounts of the team of knights were very spirited. In just a moment, they arrived at the front. The leader of the team glanced at Wang Lu and the others. Especially when he saw the tragic battlefield next to the carriage, he could not help but frown and sternly asked.
"What's going on here? Tell me honestly!"
This bad tone and attitude caused a backlash on the spot. Wang Lu sneered. "It's none of your business that I, your father, am killing people!"
"Impudent!" The group of knights shouted in unison. Several of them simply pulled out their swords, ready to use force to deter them.
As the personal guards of the City Master, most of them had rich experience. Seeing this bloody scene, how could they not see the cause of the matter?
As an important trade hub between the East and West Continent, in recent months, Deep Earth City has received many cultivators from Nine Regions. And then … robberies and murders of Nine Regions people were not uncommon. Initially, it started from the nearby larger port city, Hengxia City, and then gradually spread to Deep Earth City. At present, it was obvious that they were killed instead of killing people.
From the scene, it could be seen that these Nine Regions cultivators were ambushed on the road — in fact, most of the recent killings were like this. It was just that, these people had special means, so that they didn't repeat the mistakes of others. Instead, they made the determined ambushers lose their lives one after another. Therefore, it was reasonable to say that they were the victims.
However, the knights present could not sympathize with the victims. Each and every one of them had a gloomy face. Especially when they heard Wang Lu's reaction, they glared at him, wishing that they could help those ambushers and catch all these Nine Regions cultivators in one fell swoop.
When the situation was tense, a Deep Earth Guardian at the back of the team said, "We are the personal guards of the City Master of Deep Earth City. We found traces of a fierce fight outside the city, so we came to check it out."
Seeing the friendly attitude of this Deep Earth Guardian, Wang Lu also put on a smiling face. "Oh, it's your duty, I understand. Your dispatch speed is quite fast."
The Deep Earth Guardian nodded. "If there is any big fight within a certain distance of Deep Earth City, we will be the first to be alerted, especially in a situation like this."
Wang Lu said, "Oh, I see. Comrades, you've worked hard. Goodbye."
With that, he turned around and was about to board the carriage.
"Stop, who said you can leave?"
The silver-armored knight captain sternly shouted, "After killing so many people, you want to leave?"
Wang Lu turned around and said, "What? Do you want to avenge these robbers? When did Deep Earth City collude with these robbers? "
"Shut up! Even if you're a barbarian from a different continent, you should know that you must abide by the laws of that place. According to the Deep Earth Code of Deep Earth City, after a murder, whether you're the murderer or the victim, you must be investigated by Deep Earth City! "
"Oh, no matter who it is, they must be investigated? What if it's your father? "
"You!"
Seeing that the two of them were at loggerheads and a battle was about to break out at any moment, the Deep Earth Guardian hurriedly said, "The reason why we set this rule is so that we can grasp more information and better maintain the security of this place to prevent more murders from happening. I hope you can understand and cooperate with us. "
Seeing that Wang Lu and the others didn't respond, obviously unwilling to cooperate, the guard continued, "Recently, some adventurers have intercepted and killed Nine Regions' cultivators, which has attracted the attention of many nearby City Masters. The Master of Deep Earth City once said that if someone can help him solve this matter, he is willing to thank them. He said that most of the cultivators from Nine Regions who came across the sea are here for treasure hunting, and the most famous treasure hunting place in Western Continent is Taobao City. When the Master of Deep Earth City was young, he experienced many adventures in Taobao City. His experience and harvest will certainly help you. "
Thereupon, Wang Lu's heart was immediately moved.
Of course, he didn't care about the general sense of gratitude. As the lead disciple of one of the Five Uniques, what kind of rare treasure couldn't he get? However, if it was the strategy of Taobao City … then it was worth paying attention to.
"Very well, lead the way."
The Deep Earth Guardian suddenly felt relieved. If they had a conflict with this group of Nine Regions' cultivators, regardless of the outcome, the Master of Deep Earth City would certainly be furious.
—
When Wang Lu agreed to go back to the city with the Deep Earth Knights to cooperate with the investigation, the rest naturally had no objection. The Knight Captain still had a gloomy face, as if he had a feud with someone who killed his father. Along the way, the Deep Earth Guardian explained to Wang Lu.
"Your Excellency, please don't mind his attitude, he also has his own difficulties. Some time ago, because the Nine Regions' cultivators were frequently intercepted and killed, one of your strong people vented his anger on the civilians and massacred tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Storm Wind City. And the captain's family happened to be in Storm Wind City, so he inevitably … "
Hearing this, Wang Lu was horrified. Massacred civilians!?
