編集者: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Hearing this, Nelly's face turned red. Who would insult their own father like this?
He didn't even want to talk to this son of a bitch anymore.
Liszt and Evelyn held back their laughter. Back then, the mayor scolded Laylen as ruthlessly as he did now.
"Ahem..."
Liszt coughed a few times and began to change the topic. "How much of the mayor's strength has recovered?"
Nelly sighed and said, "About 60%. I estimate that in another four to five days, I will be able to recover to my peak."
Liszt said, "The rebellion of the grand knight, this matter will be resolved sooner or later. However, I heard that his son, Ang Li, has already entered the Imperial Magic Academy and even became one of the professor's private student. He is quite valued."
Nelly waved his hand and said, "It's okay. When I recover my strength, that professor will be no match for me."
"You're pretending again, aren't you?" Laylen began to taunt from the side. "You're going to forget the plan of going through all this. Don't you remember that you had been poisoned and had almost died not long ago?"
Hearing this, Nelly was instantly displeased. He stood up and left in a huff.
..
Vader City.
It had been a long time since the magical formation in the mayor's mansion killed the five experts. Everyone was guessing what the grand knight would do next.
However, unexpectedly, the grand knight's mansion had been very quiet. Not even a fly flew out of it, let alone a human.
Until two days later. The hundreds of thousands of people in Vader City suddenly felt uncomfortable, as if the sky was falling down on them.
Everyone held back their discomfort and looked up.
They saw two figures standing on the high buildings on the city wall of Vader City.
One was old, and the other was young.
The aura that could suppress most of the people in Vader City came from the old man.
A tier 4 expert!
"Look! That's Ang Li!" Someone recognized the young man next to the old man.
The young man's golden hair fluttered in the wind. He was tall and straight, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. He looked extremely aloof.
"So it's Ang Li who has returned. Then the old man next to him should be the professor of the Imperial Magic Academy who is rumored to have accepted Ang Li as a private student."
"I didn't expect this professor to follow Ang Li to Vader City. It seems that Ang Li is very valued."
On the ground, many people were whispering.
A tier 4 expert was high and mighty. They also had their differences in accepting disciples.
Those with average talent would have to rely on their self-study after just learning a few cultivation methods. If the professors were happy, they would give some pointers, as if they were doing charity.
Those with outstanding talent would then get the professors' focus.
Obviously, Ang Li belonged to the latter with outstanding talent.
..
In the grand knight's mansion, Creed was feeling very helpless.
The situation was very serious. Five experts had died, and Nelly could have survived his poisoning. Creed's heart was incomparably tormented.
Hence, he wrote a letter home and sent it to Ang Li, who was in the academy, hoping that he could make a trip back. It would be best if he brought his teacher along.
At this moment, Creed was cultivating in private. Suddenly, he felt an incomparable aura.
At the same time, there was another aura that he felt very familiar with. It was his son Ang Li's.
Creed immediately left the secret room and came to the open area in the courtyard. He just happened to see two people descending into the courtyard.
It was an old man and a young man.
The old man was dressed in a gray robe. He had a youthful face and white hair. Magic power was surging around his body.
"Father." Before the old man said anything, the young man next to him spoke first.
"Greetings, Professor Manticore. Your arrival has graced my humble abode." Creed greeted the old man with the highest courtesy of a knight.
"Hehe, I've already heard about this matter from Ang Li. I've especially accompanied him here to settle one of your wishes." Professor Manticore smiled and glanced at Ang Li, he continued, "Only by settling your matters can Ang Li put aside his distracting thoughts and cultivate properly."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Professor Manticore." Creed tried his best to speak in a calm tone.
Professor Manticore was a peak tier 4 expert. For him to travel all the way to Borodin, it was all for the sake of his son.
This meant that the old man valued Ang Li very much. As Ang Li's father, Creed was naturally extremely excited.
"Ang Li, you're also at the peak-tier 3." After that, Creed looked at Ang Li and realized that his aura was much stronger than before he left.
After all, Ang Li had only left for five months, and he had already risen from the late-stage to the peak-tier 3, crossing a small realm. How could Creed not be pleasantly surprised by such cultivation speed?
Ang Li only smiled faintly, and then said calmly, "This is all thanks to the professor's meticulous teaching."
"Good, good, good! In the future, you will learn well from Professor Manticore. You will do whatever the professor tells you to do," Creed laughed loudly.
Then, he hurriedly moved aside and said, "Look at my brain. Professor, please come in. Don't stand in the courtyard."
He might not be able to advance to the fourth rank in this lifetime. However, if his son could reach tier 4, it could be said that he was looking forward to his son's success.
Thinking of his son reaching the fourth rank or even the fifth rank in the future, Creed's heart was incomparably excited.
The three of them sat down. After Manticore drank a mouthful of black tea, he said, "I already know about your matter. Regardless of whether the previous city Lord is dead or not, Vader City belongs to you. This old man still has this bit of friendship in the Imperial City."
The old man's tone carried a hint of arrogance.
Hearing this, Creed's eyes lit up. This old professor dared to be so sure. Could it be that he had already received the King's order?
As long as it wasn't an invasion by a foreign race, the king wouldn't care about who was the mayor of any city.
Creed got excited for a while, then, he said, "Oh right, Professor Manticore, the mayor's residence has set up a killing magical formation. It can easily kill a tier 3 expert. Even the mid-Tier 4 Shadow archbishop was killed. It's said that the magical formation is called [ Berserk Thunder cage ] ."
"Berserk Thunder Cage?" Hearing this name, Manticore's eyes flashed with shock, before he shook his head, he replied resolutely, "Impossible, the Berserk Thunder cage is a Tier 4 killing magical formation. It's said that if it's upgraded to tier 7, it can kill a God."
Killing a God.
Hearing these words, Creed's face revealed a look of shock.
Standing at the side, Ang Li's breathing also became rapid. His eyes were filled with fervor. He yearned for such a peerless killing formation.
"In the eastern continent, the number of forces that have a basic berserk thunder cage formation can be counted on one hand. Even the king of Borodin doesn't have one."
The Berserk thunder cage could be used to imprison a God after tier 7.
Even if it was a basic magic formation, only top-tier clans would have treasures.
How could a small city at the border of a kingdom have such a precious thing?
The next day, the gate of the grand knight's mansion opened.
The people who walked out were surrounded by the crowd outside.
The crowd was immediately pushed away by the guards.
Creed and the other two, who were walking among the guards, were not in a hurry. They slowly walked in the direction of the mayor's mansion.
Those who had realized something immediately rushed to the mayor's mansion in advance. They quickly took up excellent positions and watched the battle that was about to take place.
