Livia threw me a glance with the meaning that I was so screwed. I gave her a bitter smile and called Chirping Bird back to stand behind me. I then said by way of my magic power to guarantee that everyone would hear this, "Pay attention, please! As a disciple of Great Sage Rinka, I"m on order of him to save your princess with Fiery Phoenix. If I had had a choice, I wouldn"t have done this just now."
My voice was heard by everyone. The wounded felt chilled as if they drank cold water in winter. Since we were not their enemies, what was the point of their injuries...
Shortly, we three were summoned to the imperial city that was far away from the restaurant, so it remained intact. I felt lucky that it was intact. Otherwise, I would be punched to death by Rinka.
The guards and servants saw me with frightened expressions. I vaguely heard them say "Evil Destroyer", "G.o.d of Plague", and so on. I felt like my reputation dropping to the bottom.
How miserable it was!
Parker and I introduced to each other on the road. The truth was, after learning from Julius for three years, he thought a knight enjoyed a more promising future than a sorcerer, so he ditched Julius and learned from another teacher.
Now, as the leader of "Sandstorm Knights", he was called "Earth Knight" and became famous in the Holy Land. This time, he escorted Princess Ofilia of the Kingdom of Leiyin to come here to visit Princess Olivia.
He felt so bored that he left for the restaurant outside of the imperial city to kill his time. Surprisingly, he was the trigger of "the darkest day of Alska" and left an indelible mark in the historical book.
When we reached the imperial hall, I only saw a strong and handsome tall middle-aged man standing on the hall with his hands behind. Behind him were...
Wow, two exceedingly beautiful girls. They behind him immediately caught my eyes. I tightly fixed my eyes on the two beauties with their own characteristics who were as charming as Livia.
Everyone longed for beauty. I thought my reaction would win the understanding and support of most men.
When I stared at them intently, I suddenly felt the pain on my waist, and it was Livia who twisted me.
Glancing at her jealous eyes, I thought to myself that I would be suffered. I hastily bowed to the middle-aged man in the manner of sorcerers and said, "Your Majesty, on the order of Rinka, apprentice sorcerer Wu Lai greets to you."
King Voight said after weirdly looking at me, "Really? Are you the Evil Destroyer who destroyed half of my Alska and maimed almost all my knights and sorcerers?"
d.a.m.n it! He would settle the score with me.
I instantly played dumb and said, "Your Majesty, what"s the Evil Destroyer? I don"t understand."
King Voight took out a letter and said, "Great Sage ordered a magic beast to send this letter to me. Nana, read it loud and clear."
He pa.s.sed it to one beauty who was a little taller. She was like 17 or 18 years old, and her extremely attractive face released a kind of arrogance that forced the others to bow their heads down. But, on her white forehead was there a bloodstain, which was the exact feature of Blood Curse of Ghost. She was definitely Princess Olivia.
The princess unfolded it and read in a clear and melodious voice, "Your Majesty, I especially dispatched my disciple Wu Lai to free the princess from the curse with phoenix blood. His disposition is just like his name-he won"t move forward unless you urge him. But his magic power is way stronger than mine. Thus, please appoint him and discipline him, too. Your truly, Rinka."
Princess Olivia couldn"t help but gently smile after finishing reading. Parker had already burst into laughter.
Livia said with a smile, "Wu Lai, Rinka"s remarks really fit you."
$#@$#@&*%$$#, f.u.c.k Rinka. How dare he set me up! If I had known so, I would have made him suffer the Lightning Thunder and send him to Chirping Bird as a snack. d.a.m.n it...
King Voight stopped smiling and said with a poker face, "Wu Lai, do you know how much I will spend in restoring the destroyed Alska? Do you know what will happen after other kingdoms know that half of my knights and imperial sorcerers are maimed?"
d.a.m.n it! I was trapped here. Since I was held responsible for this, I could do nothing but listen to his lecture obediently.
King Voight said, "Since you"re here to save my princess, and you didn"t mean to destroy the city and hurt my people, I"ll let you go. However, on behalf of my kingdom, you will attend the "Magic Power Tournament of All Races" held one month later and take the winner"s prize-Crystal of Heart-back as the compensation."
What else could I say? With my magic power, I thought that it would be a piece of cake.
Thus, I said yes to him.
I didn"t know at that time that this was also part of the trap set up by Julius and Rinka with its purpose of entrusting me with lasting significant responsibilities.
I felt greatly vexed.
Besides Princess Olivia, the other beauty, who looked quiet and gentle, was Princess Ofilia of the Kingdom of Leiyin. The two princesses were cousins and also two of the ten beauties in the Holy Land according to Parker.
Not until now did I know that Livia was not only the well-known Swordsman of Fantasy but also one of the ten beauties. No wonder she was insanely beautiful.
At the thought of such a beauty falling love with me, I couldn"t help gloating, and a feeling of male pride arose spontaneously.
I summoned Chirping Bird and let its blood out a little bit before Princess Olivia drank it. Immediately, her body shone the red light with her sweats pouring down. When the light disappeared, the bloodstain on her forehead also faded away.
Blood Curse of Ghost was eventually relieved.
