Han Shuo had been very busy these past few days. He had used transportation matrices to travel through more than half of the Lancelot Empire. Three archmages, four swordsmen, and one great swordmaster had all been killed by Han Shuo in the name of challenges.
In the beginning, the challenges could be considered successful. This was because Han Shuo's age was too deceptive. His opponents often thought that Han Shuo was nothing to be afraid of and would angrily accept the challenge after being provoked by Han Shuo's malicious words. However, as time went on, Han Shuo's repeated successes spread far and wide. Many experts began to make connections with the identities of those who were killed and began to plot against him.
In the end, there were still three experts on the list who had suddenly disappeared without a trace. Even the Dark Mantle couldn't find them with all their might. Once Han Shuo arrived in a city, all the experts in the city would be panic-stricken. No matter if they had done anything shameful or not, they were all afraid that Han Shuo would come knocking on their door to challenge them. Thus, they all disappeared in the name of traveling.
These people were also helpless. After all, those who had died in Han Shuo's hands in the past few days were all experts. If they didn't accept Han Shuo's challenge, it would greatly affect their reputation. But if they accepted the challenge, they might lose their lives. They had no choice but to find an excuse to hide.
When a great swordmaster died in Han Shuo's hands, the young expert Brian's infamy reached its peak. The experts on the list all disappeared one by one. Under Candide's notice, they could only return to Ossen City to await further orders.
"Lord Candide, it's not that I didn't try my best. The three people on the list have disappeared without a trace. It looks like we can only wait until you find them." In a small tavern in the northern part of the city, Han Shuo and Candide were in a private room. It was Han Shuo who spoke first.
"You've done very well. His Majesty has already heard of your deeds. Let's ignore those three for now. There's a matter that's giving me a headache. If you can complete this matter, His Majesty will protect you and bestow upon you the title of nobility. "Candide frowned as he took a sip of tea from the teacup in his hand.
"Oh? What's the matter? "Han Shuo asked in a daze.
"Leah Cain of the Brut Merchant Alliance also has the strength of a Great Swordmaster. This person is known as the Mad Swordsman. His character is vile and his character is cruel, but he just so happens to have extraordinary strength. Currently, he has arrived at our Ossen City. In the past few days, he has challenged three Great Swordmasters of Ossen City and won all of them. After winning, he still spoke rudely, which has caused His Majesty to be extremely disgusted.
His Majesty wants you to challenge Leah Cain. As long as you can defeat Leah Cain, His Majesty will protect you regardless of the pressure from the Church of Light and give you a noble title. However, Leah Cain's strength is extraordinary. He already possessed the strength of a great swordmaster ten years ago. According to the Dark Mantle's information, this Leah Cain is very close to the first prince, His Highness Charles. Because of your relationship with Lawrence, I'm afraid that if you can't beat him, you might lose your life! "Candide seemed to be really worried about Han Shuo as he spoke with some worry.
"Where does this Leah Cain person currently live?" Han Shuo was calm and unafraid as he asked Candide with a smile.
"In the Garden House in the northern part of the city. The Garden House is the property of the first prince, Charles. Others might not know, but the Dark Mantle naturally knows. It was also because of the Garden House that we guessed that he is related to the first prince. What, do you plan to challenge Leah Cain? Both of them are great swordmasters, but the difference in strength between someone who has just entered the realm and someone who has been in this realm for ten years is extremely large. Moreover, Leah Cain is known as the Mad Swordsman and is extremely difficult to deal with! "Candide cried out in surprise.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of him!" Han Shuo drank a mouthful of tea and directly stood up. He said with a smile, "To be honest, I'm almost addicted to the challenges I've been facing recently!"
Han Shuo had been running all over the place these past few days and had challenged a number of experts. He felt that his strength was on the verge of a breakthrough. The bloodlust realm required one to quickly progress through slaughter, especially when fighting against experts. It was even faster to improve in the bloodlust realm.
After seven or eight battles in a row, Han Shuo had challenged archmages and swordmasters, all of whom were experts with some reputation. The last person he challenged was a great swordmaster, which gave Han Shuo a great sense of crisis. It was also through that battle that Han Shuo felt that his bloodthirsty realm was showing signs of breaking through.
At this point, Han Shuo definitely didn't need to use necromancy magic or the Little Skull's earth elite zombie or wood elite zombie. With just his bloodlust realm demonic arts, he could directly confront a great swordmaster. If he didn't use his advantage in magic, Han Shuo's strength in the bloodlust realm was equal to that of a great swordmaster.
Leah Cain might be a bit more tyrannical than an average great swordmaster. Perhaps Han Shuo in the bloodlust realm would encounter some difficulties, but if Han Shuo used the Little Skull earth and wood elite zombies, Han Shuo believed that he would be able to successfully kill Leah Cain. Therefore, Han Shuo didn't mind Candide's worries at all.
"Be careful, this person is extremely dangerous. He's famous in the Brut Merchant Alliance for being difficult to deal with, so don't lower your guard!" Candide was still worried as he watched Han Shuo walk towards the door.
"Understood, I'll go first!" Han Shuo responded and walked outside.
"Brian!" As soon as he walked out of the tavern, Emily's voice came from a carriage at the corner of the street. Chester, dressed as a coachman, had a cautious expression as he waved at Han Shuo.
The Dark Mantle's intelligence network was everywhere. Add to that the relationship between Emily and Candide, and it wouldn't be difficult for her to find Han Shuo. Han Shuo also understood that Emily would definitely come to find him, so he wasn't surprised at all when he heard Emily's voice.
Looking left and right, Han Shuo suddenly discovered that there was another carriage parked in the distance. The knights in front of the carriage were all familiar faces. The curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing Lawrence's face. At this moment, Lawrence was looking at Han Shuo with an excited expression, as if he had a lot to say to him.
Han Shuo first walked towards Emily and said, "Wait for me for a moment."
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Shuo quickly walked in front of Lawrence's carriage and exclaimed in a low voice, "Why are you here?"
"Heh heh, I accidentally discovered Madame Emily's carriage today. Seeing that she was hurrying over here, my heart was moved and I followed her. I didn't think that I would actually find you." Lawrence let out a strange chuckle and said to Han Shuo.
Han Shuo understood that Lawrence might know about his relationship with Emily. He couldn't help but roll his eyes at Lawrence and said, "Alright, what did you call me here for?"
"Haha, I heard that you've been continuously challenging experts recently. You're quite famous now. I didn't think that you brat would stop hiding your abilities and truly start showing your talent. That's for the best. I've been to the palace twice in the past few days, and His Majesty asked a few things about you. He seems to be very interested in you. This is a very good sign! "Lawrence appeared to be very high-spirited as he spoke with a smile.
"Of course I'm paying attention. His Majesty wants me to challenge Leah Cain. Am I not planning to get rid of him?" Han Shuo said indifferently.
Lawrence was shocked when he heard these words. Then, he became ecstatic and said, "Leah Cain is First Prince Charles' man. I can confirm this through my channels. Brian, do you have the confidence to get rid of him?"
"What do you think?" Han Shuo looked at Lawrence with a smile that wasn't quite a smile and asked in reply.
"Of course I do. You're very mysterious, I believe in you! How about this, since you want to challenge Leah Cain, I'll help you and exaggerate this matter. As long as you can defeat Leah Cain, your notoriety can be corrected. Heh heh, after all, Leah Cain is a member of the Brut Merchant Alliance. No one in our country will like him! "Lawrence said with a sinister smile.
"Do as you see fit. If there's nothing else, I'll look for you after I get rid of Leah Cain!" Han Shuo said.
"It's fine, it's fine. Go do your thing!" Lawrence looked in Emily's direction and said with a sly smile.
From Lawrence's expression and words, Han Shuo understood that he should already know about his relationship with Emily. This was all because Han Shuo and Emily were hiding behind a fake mountain at their family's banquet last time. Later on, the operation in Valen City made him even more certain of this matter.
However, with Han Shuo's current relationship with Lawrence, Han Shuo naturally believed that Lawrence would keep his mouth shut. After all, if this matter was exposed, it wouldn't benefit Lawrence at all.
"Alright, I'll be going first!" Han Shuo responded and turned to walk in Emily's direction.
"Let's go!" Han Shuo arrived at Chester's place and gave him some instructions before entering Emily's carriage.
"Oh … Bryan, it's too magical. That pill is too magical!" As soon as Han Shuo entered the carriage, Emily suddenly threw herself into Han Shuo's arms and hugged Han Shuo tightly. She took the initiative to offer her fragrant lips, appearing to be extremely emotional.
Chester's expression was the same as usual. He pretended not to have heard anything and started the carriage with a serious expression, slowly driving it into the depths of the street.
After Chester's carriage left, Candide gazed at the direction of the departing carriage from within the shadows of a nearby corner. He muttered, "I was wondering why Emily would help him so much. So that's the reason. This kid is quite bold in his lust. As expected, he's hooked up with Emily. Dammit, he's actually a playboy!"
