In the quiet bathroom, the atmosphere was a little gloomy. Both Ferrier and the single eye were silent regarding the situation in front of them. The situation in front of them was completely out of their expectations.
Of course, they also had their own speculations. The one who appeared out of nowhere and protected the imposter king on this planet might be the warrior who was left behind.
“From the looks of it, this is the only possibility…”
In front of Ferrier, the single eye’s dull voice sounded. It was still hoa.r.s.e with a hint of mist at this moment, making it impossible for one to grasp it.
“Otherwise, a Level Five would not have appeared out of nowhere.”
The appearance of a powerhouse must have had its own trajectory. The Qika Star was not a good place to reside in. Compared to many other places in the vast galaxy, it was considered a poor and remote place. There was nothing good about it.
Therefore, the mysterious Level Five warrior was most likely here for the Golden King. In other words, he was here for the imposter king.
“In the past, although we had tried our best to gather the king’s power and keep the former warriors as much as possible, we might’ve missed some of them and did not protect all of them in time.”
In front of him, the single eye thought for a moment and then gave his own explanation. “Perhaps the warrior who appeared in Qika this time is one of such seniors.
“From the past until now, he did not know our plan, so he followed the king’s aura and found the imposter king.
“This is the only explanation.”
Ferrier nodded in agreement to single eye’s words. For a thousand years, in order to ensure the recovery of the Golden King, they had made a detailed plan. The imposter king on Qika was part of the plans and a key part of the arrangement.
The Golden King who had revived on Chicca did indeed have part of the power of a former king, but it was only an imposter king. It served to attract the Round Table and other forces to distract them.
As for the real Golden King, he hid behind the scenes and was carefully protected by his loyal followers to avoid any accidents. All of the arrangements were very precise. If outsiders did not have enough information, they would definitely not be able to discover it.
However, although Ferrier and single eye knew about this plan, the others obviously did not know. In order to ensure that the plan was foolproof, not many people knew about it. Even many of the loyal followers of the Golden King were kept in the dark and had no way of knowing about it. Presumably, the unknown warrior who came this time was also such a person.
In the eyes of those who did not know about their plan, the imposter king on the Qika Star was their true Golden King, so he was naturally worthy of their protection. Thinking of this, Ferrier suddenly felt relieved, thinking that he had understood everything.
“What should we do now?”
Standing where he was, Ferrier pondered for a moment, then frowned again and asked, “Should we wait for the opportunity to find that comrade and tell him everything?”
As soon as he said that, there was a moment of silence. In front of him, the light in that one eye was flickering, as if it was thinking. After a while, he opened his mouth and continued, “No, don’t expose yourself so easily.
“The revival of our king is the most important thing. We can’t be disturbed by any external forces.
“In order to avoid being discovered by the people of the Round Table, the fewer people who know about our plan, the better.
“As for the comrade who appeared…”
He was silent for a moment and then said, “Let’s proceed according to the original plan.”
“Good. In the original plan, we need to send people to help the imposter king and sacrifice some comrades in order to attract the attention of the Round Table.”
In their plan, the false king on Qika Star existed to attract the hatred and attention of the Round Table. It was precisely because of this that if the imposter king was caught in an instant, it would not be of much use. The enemy might even find some clues and notice something.
Therefore, in their original plan, they would send some people, one after another, to the imposter king’s side to help him grow and escape. This way, they could create the misdirection that the imposter king was the Golden King and buy time for the real Golden King.
Since they were going to send people over to a.s.sist, wouldn’t it be just right for a Level Five to go over now? With the help of this Level Five, the Round Table would be even more convinced that the person that appeared on Qika Star was the real Golden King. At this moment, this was the idea he had in mind.
“Is this alright?”
Ferrier immediately understood, but he seemed to hesitate. “This is a Level Five, after all.”
A Level Five. Even at the Golden King’s peak, a Level Five was still an absolute pillar of strength. Not to mention now, after a thousand years of loss and blow, the Golden King’s influence had already withered. Excluding a few of them, a Level Five was almost their peak power. It was too much of a pity to give him up just like that.
“There’s no other way.”
In front of him, a voice sounded again with a sigh, “For the recovery of our King, be it you, me, or the other comrades, all of us can be sacrificed.
“Moreover, even if we tell him about the plan, it won’t be of much help to his current situation.
“According to the information we gathered, the Crimson Knight had already headed towards Qika.”
“What?”
Hearing this news, Ferrier was stunned. He could not believe it. “How did he get away so quickly?
“Isn’t he confronting the Moors? How did he get away so quickly?”
“He’s more decisive than we thought.”
In front of him, an ethereal voice sounded once again with a sigh. “At this moment, the true form of the Crimson Knight is still confronting the Moors. His clone is already quietly heading towards this place.
“Although I don’t know how he did it, that’s the truth.”
“d.a.m.n it!”
Ferrier’s heart tightened.
The Crimson Knight was one of the famous Five Knights and was the most aggressive of the Five Knights. Even if it was just a clone, his arrival was definitely not something that could be overlooked. To put it bluntly, as long as the other party wanted to, he could easily destroy the star in front of them. Regardless of whether it was the imposter king or anything else, they would all fall.
“Your time is already very tight.”
In front of him, the indifferent and ethereal voice sounded once again.
“In two to three months at most, the Crimson Knight will descend here.
“During this period of time, you must make preparations and think of a way to let the imposter king escape this planet before then.”
“Two to three months is easier said than done!”
Ferrier frowned. At this moment, he was already feeling troubled. “At this moment, Olly has already fallen. Avril will most likely contact the Qika Federation and seal off this planet before the arrival of the Crimson Knight.
“I need to send the imposter king out during this period. You sounded much easier than it looks!”
“There’s no other way.”
In front of him, an ethereal voice sounded once again. At this moment, it was accompanied by a sigh. “Our comrades in hiding will do their best to help you.
“During this period of time, you can use all the power that we have hidden on the Qika Planet.”
“We’ll do our best.”
In front of him, waves of voices fell and then disappeared. Standing on the spot, hearing these words, Ferrier was silent for a long time. Then, he nodded silently. In front of him, the single eye seemed to sense Ferrier’s att.i.tude and determination, and so golden single eye slowly disappeared.
After the image of the single eye disappeared, the mysterious magic circle carved out by the blood in front of him also disappeared. It looked as if it had never appeared before. The mysterious power gradually disappeared and retreated.
Ferrier was the only one left. He stood where he was, frowning. After a long time, he turned around and left.
…
“My king, are you feeling better?”
It was noon, and the sun was s.h.i.+ning brightly in the outside world. Lu Yao was lying on the headboard of her bed inside her room. She was covered in bandages. It seemed like she was severely injured and had not recovered from it yet.
At this moment, she was lying on the bed’s headboard with a bitter expression on her face. In front of her, Ye Zi held a bottle of medicine and looked at her worriedly.
“Don’t worry, I’m fine.”
Sensing Ye Zi’s worried gaze, Lu Yao turned around and shook her head at her before saying, “It’s just that it’s still a little painful.”
At this moment, a month had already pa.s.sed. In a month’s time, the incident from back then was still not over. Instead, the impact became even more intense. In the surroundings, many local media outlets began to report on this incident, causing the impact of this incident to become even greater.
Of course, to Lu Yao and Yezi, this incident had nothing to do with them at this moment. After pa.s.sing through the initial worries and anxieties, they once again entered into a peaceful life. Of course, the aftereffects of the previous battle had yet to disappear completely.
There were still quite many injuries on Lu Yao’s body. These were left behind when she was being hunted down. Among them were many hidden injuries caused by telekinesis, which were extremely obscure and painful.
There was also the curse left behind by the Shadow Old Man, which had yet to be completely removed, leaving her with quite a bit of pain. During this period, Lu Yao had been recuperating from her injuries, and she did not go out as often as before.
Of course, with Lu Yao’s appearance like this, Ye Zi was not much better.
