The Azure River County City had a population of more than ten million people. One could only imagine how large the city was. Although the main road within the city was very wide, the Treading Snow Horse could only move forward at a 'stroll' speed. From the city gate to the Dragon Mountain Manor, it took them almost an hour to travel from the city gate to the Dragon Mountain Manor.
"I've finally arrived." Dongbo Xue Ying looked at the Dragon Mountain Manor in front of him.
In front of the Dragon Mountain Manor, a huge fire crystal lamp illuminated the area. This place was much more majestic than the Dragon Mountain Manor in Water Rites County. Just the huge courtyard wall alone was at least one to two miles wide.
There was also a large group of guards patrolling the area.
"Dismount." The two black armored guards standing at the entrance were even more imposing. They were at least at the Meteor rank.
Dongbo Xue Ying also dismounted. With a flip of his hand, he showed the black iron token and said, "The county should have received the news of my arrival. “
One of the black armored guards walked over and smiled, "Are you the Water Rites Town's Dongbo Xue Ying?"
"That's me." Dongbo Xue Ying nodded.
"We've already received the news of your arrival. Leave your horse to me. You can go in and someone will bring you to your residence." The black armored guard helped to lead the horse.
"Sorry for the trouble." Dongbo Xue Ying handed the horse to the guard and directly entered the Dragon Mountain Manor's huge courtyard wall.
The huge Dragon Mountain Manor was filled with lush greenery. The flowers and grasses were also very beautiful.
Fire crystal lamps were placed among the flowers and grasses. Although the sky was already dark, the entire Dragon Mountain Manor was illuminated by fire crystal lamps.
"Sir Dongbo, please follow me." A maid welcomed him, "Guests from outside stay in the east side of the Jiahui Garden. The Jiahui Garden has already prepared a small courtyard for Sir! It's best if Sir does not leave the Jiahui Garden … the other places might be important to the Dragon Mountain Manor. Wait until tomorrow morning, there will naturally be someone to bring Sir to meet the Manor Lord. "
"En." Dongbo Xue Ying nodded.
Inside the Dragon Mountain Manor, the floor was paved with stone slabs. The surroundings were filled with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants. Even some of the courtyard walls were faintly discernible.
After walking for a while, they arrived in front of a garden door.
"This is Jiahui Garden." The maid led the way. "Milord's courtyard is inside."
"There are quite a lot of courtyards here." Dongbo Xue Ying chuckled as he looked around. There were probably more than ten small courtyards, and they were separated into two rows, facing each other.
"There are a lot of missions in the county capital. Experts from all over the country often come here. Today is considered a small number. Only half of the Jiahui Garden is occupied. Usually, the entire Jiahui Garden is not enough." The maidservant smiled and said, "This is where you will be staying tonight, Sir." As she spoke, she pushed open the courtyard door.
Suddenly, the door of the opposite courtyard creaked open.
Dongbo Xue Ying turned to look.
The door to the opposite courtyard opened, and a maidservant came out with a tray. A young woman in a green robe was about to close the door. When she saw Dongbo Xue Ying, she immediately understood that this black-robed young man was going to stay in the opposite courtyard.
"A female magus." Dongbo Xue Ying could sense it.
This young woman in a green robe had a mysterious aura that was unique to magi. In fact, it was the aura of magic power! Furthermore, it was also emitting a faint sense of coldness. Dongbo Xue Ying was all too familiar with this aura. His mother and younger brother were experts in ice magic. This woman in front of him was obviously also an expert in ice magic.
"However, her aura feels stronger than Bai Yuan Zhi's." Dongbo Xue Ying was very surprised.
He was surprised by the appearance of this green-robed female magus, and surprised by her youth!
His younger brother was the most handsome man he had ever seen. And this green-robed female magus … was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen! Her beauty was like an ice lotus on a snowy mountain. It was a very unique aura. Actually, Water Rites Town had quite a few beauties. You Yue was one of the top ten beauties he had ever seen.
However, this green-robed female magus made Dongbo Xue Ying instantly think that she was the most beautiful one. It was because of her aura! A very unique aura!
"Magi are full of wisdom. The more powerful a magus is, the more knowledgeable they are. This woman looks so young, but she seems to be stronger than Bai Yuan Zhi. "Dongbo Xue Ying was a little surprised.
But he did not know.
While he was surprised, the green-robed female magus also faintly felt that the young man in front of her was not ordinary. After many years of studying nature … Dongbo Xue Ying's sharpness became more reserved, and his aura became more natural and simple. It was this kind of reserved and simple aura that caused the green-robed female magus to be secretly shocked. "He is clearly not a magus, but his spirit is actually so strong?"
Magi placed great importance on the spirit and soul.
… …
The two of them looked at each other and nodded politely with a smile.
"Creak." The green-robed female magus closed the courtyard door.
Dongbo Xue Ying also walked into his courtyard.
"Master Dongbo, I will bring you some food later. I will not disturb you any further." The maid then left.
*****
Early the next morning.
Not long after he finished his breakfast, the maid from Dragon Mountain Manor came to invite Dongbo Xue Ying. Today, he would be announcing the details of the mission.
In a quiet hall.
Dongbo Xue Ying walked into the hall and saw a white-haired, muscular old man. The old man saw Dongbo Xue Ying and nodded slightly.
"Master, please find a seat. When everyone is here, the Manor Master will be here soon." The maid said.
After sitting down.
Dongbo Xue Ying took a sip of tea and put it down. Someone else walked in from outside the hall. It was the green-robed female magus that he met last night. The green-robed female magus swept her gaze across the hall and saw the white-haired, muscular old man and Dongbo Xue Ying. She was slightly surprised. What a coincidence. Yesterday, they lived opposite each other. Today, they met again. She nodded slightly at the two and sat down.
"It's Magus Jing Qiu?" The white-haired, muscular old man's eyes lit up and said, "I didn't expect to see Magus Jing Qiu here. What a coincidence! This old man is Tang Xiong!"
Dongbo Xue Ying was slightly surprised.
The Dragon Mountain Manor had a list of powerful characters in Azure River County. He had seen it before.
Tang Xiong was a 160-years-old Silver Moon Knight. With his age, he naturally had no hope of breaking through to the Legend rank.
As for Magus Jing Qiu … … she was extraordinary.
She was the pride of the entire Azure River County. Jing Qiu came from an ordinary family. She entered the Eternal Wind Academy to study magic. At the age of 20, she broke through to the Meteor rank. She stayed in the Eternal Wind Academy to teach. At the age of 23, she broke through to the Silver Moon rank! According to the information, Jing Qiu should be 25 years old now.
25 years old, but already a Silver Moon Great Mage. This talent was indeed frightening. Even a Transcendent Great Mage in the Eternal Wind Academy accepted her as a disciple. At such a young age … … there was a 90% chance that she could step into the Legend rank.
"So it's her." Dongbo Xue Ying suddenly understood.
"Hahaha … …" Suddenly, two people walked in from outside.
One was a somewhat gloomy young man, and the other was a black-haired old man.
The gloomy young man's attire was extraordinary. The robe he was wearing could cause the surrounding atmosphere to change. Obviously, it was a powerful refined armor.
"Jing Qiu, I didn't expect to see you here." The gloomy young man was excited, "Haha, I came out to train and randomly chose a task. I didn't expect to meet you here. This is too much of a coincidence. The two of us are brought together by fate."
The green-robed female mage frowned, "It is indeed a coincidence."
The eerie young man glanced around and saw the white-haired old man as well as a black-robed young man who was younger than him. This caused a trace of displeasure to flash through his eyes. He glanced at the white-haired old man and casually said, "Excuse me."
"Is it Lord Bai Rong?" The white-haired old man, Tang Xiong, obediently stepped aside, not wanting to disturb him and the female mage.
Bai Rong?
Dongbo Xue Ying also understood who the other party was. Bai Rong!
He was one of the top figures in the younger generation of the Azure River County's Si Clan. Bai Rong was 50 years old this year. As a Silver Moon Knight, his lifespan was usually close to 200 years. He could still maintain his youthful appearance even though he was 50 years old! Because he was relatively young, he had a higher chance of becoming a Legend ranker in the future. Thus, his status in the Si Clan was considered high.
The Si Clan could cover the sky with one hand in the Azure River County.
If they said you are guilty, then you are guilty! Thus, even Tang Xiong, who was also a Silver Moon Knight, had to flatter him. After all, he could not afford to offend them. Casually finding a reason to capture a Silver Moon Knight was a small matter to the Si Clan. Only by breaking through to the Legend ranker would one have the power to suppress ordinary people. Only then would a Legend ranker have the qualifications to talk to the Si Clan on equal footing.
The gloomy young man then sat beside the female mage, leaning close to her, "Jing Qiu, why are you always avoiding me? You are making me sad."
Hua.
The green-robed female mage stood up and left her seat. However, the hall was only so big. She glanced around and walked towards Dongbo Xue Ying, sitting down next to him.
"Jing Qiu." The gloomy young man, Bai Rong, walked over. Suddenly, he glanced at Dongbo Xue Ying, feeling that Dongbo Xue Ying was a hindrance. Frowning, he coldly said, "Excuse me."
Xue Ying picked up the cup of tea and took a sip. He did not care about him at all.
Bai Rong's face immediately turned ugly.
"Hmph!" Bai Rong coldly snorted.
"Haha, is everyone here?" A loud laughter came from outside. A bald old man dressed in red walked in.
