Chapter 216: Thunder like Voice
"Hey girls, during competition, I will cut your heads off...." A tough man who was taller than two meters licked his blade as he stood in his own camp and saw the expeditionary forces from Chambord walking by.
"Woof-!" A huge black big unicorn forehead jumped onto the other side of the fence viciously and roared. It opened its mouth wide and blew out a bloody scent as the people of Chambord went by.
There was also a warrior in a full set of iron metal only with his eyes exposed. His eyes showed his murderous spirit as he stood up quickly in the camp of his kingdom. With his eyes fixed on everyone who walked by, he held the sword that was still dripping blood tightly in his hands as if he was going to attack any second.
Fei who was riding on [Black Tornado] heard a lot of loud chatter–
"Two headed dog flag? Which kingdom has that flag?"
"No sure, but from the look of it, they are just a tiny small kingdom..."
"Hehe, small kingdom... they are like bystanders in this competition..."
"But what are they riding on?... Huh? Those are level 4 Roaring Flame Beasts? Could it be the Chishui Kingdom? But the king of Chishui isn't that young. Look at the young man leading the troop, he probably is the king..."
"What is he riding on? ... Huh? I have never seem such a beast before... Horse? It doesn't look like a horse, but more like a dog..."
"Bullshit, how can a dog be that big?"
Fei and his troops walked pass by the majority of the camp sites as everyone else looked at them. Among 250 affiliated kingdoms, there were kingdoms that were prosperous, and there were kingdoms where even the kings were wrapped in animal skins like old hunters. The expeditionary force of Chambord was wearing shiny armor, and that attracted a lot of jealous and envious stares. Especially the level 4 Roaring Flame Beasts that the Saint Seiyas were riding on. Those made a lot of high level warriors drool in envy.
People who were daring enough even followed behind the troops and wanted to know how powerful this troop that was made of less than a hundred soldiers was.
"King Alexander, this space beside the river belongs to Chambord." The captain who was leading the way was very friendly. He pointed at the camp site by the river and said.
This was an empty space of about 20 acres. It was very flat, and it was beside a river that travelled through a majority of the camp sites. Since there was a thin layer of grass and it was beside the water sources, this site was very suitable for camping. This empty space was blocked off by iron chains and stone pillars from sites belonged to other kingdoms, and a ten meter tall stone pillar with the big word "Chambord" was engraved on it right in the middle of everything.
"Your majesty, my name is Torsy. If you have anything questions, you can send someone to get me from the first battalion of the [Blizzard Legion]. Since you guys traveled for a while, you all must be tired. I won't bother you guys long; I believe that we will see each other soon!"
This captain named Torsy was very friendly. From what he said, he was a member of the number on battle legion among the top ten legions, [Blizzard Legion]. This surprised Fei a little. After leading Fei and soldiers of Chambord to their camp site, Torsy also left a book of rules and guidelines that everyone had to follow during this competition, and then he left. Torsy was very smart in the way he talked; he didn't appear to be too close with Fei, but he showed his friendliness.
After saying bye to this captain Torsy, the expeditionary force started to set up. Unlike the temporary camps that they set up along the way to here, the camps this time needed to be used for about a month, and everything needed to be firm and tight. Oleg himself took the lead to instruct and work with the soldiers to build them. Many comfortable and fancy tents and magic building materials that were purchased at the Hot Spring Gate were now very useful.

The people who followed the Chambord's Expeditionary Force saw the word on the stone pillar at the center of the camp and knew where this troop came from. Most of these people's expression turned serious as they hurried back to their camps to report this news to their kings.
"Shit... so these guys are the rumored vicious killers of Chambord. I have to tell his majesty about this news. We shouldn't provoke them! The king of Chambord who defeated the Golden Sun Knight isn't someone who we, a level 4 affiliated kingdom, can handle!"
"Chambord? They are from Chambord? We can't get on their wrong side!"
"Looks like that black haired young man who rode that strange beast must be the King of Chambord who is really famous now at St. Petersburg. He is this young? Unbelievable! He really defeated the Golden Sun Knight from Imperial Knight Palace? These types of people, we can only be friends with and not enemies!"
"The king of Chambord who came to in a light and unexpected manner … the outcome from the battle of Dual-Tower Mountain is widespread... Hehe, I will let you enjoy the fame for now. However, the Imperial Knight Palace won't let you be this arrogant for long..."
After getting the report from their subordinates, some kings who were envious of the level 4 Roaring Flame Beasts got rid of their greed. These kings had their reliable sources of information, and they all knew about the result of the battle at Dual-tower Mountains. They knew that someone who defeated the Golden Sun Knight wasn't someone who they could take on, and they became very simple and didn't plan any more tricks or conspiracies.
Of course, not all kings had good information flows. Even though the news of the battle of Dual-tower Mountains wasn't new, for the kings whose kingdoms were remote and couldn't enter St. Petersburg to access anything, the king of Chambord wasn't someone who defeated one of the ten Executive Knights of the Imperial Knight Palace, but a king of a weak level 6 affiliated kingdom. Based on Fei's age, they didn't think that Fei was much trouble.
Some greediness started to overflow...
"This is not fair, why can Chambord, a level 6 affiliated kingdom, enjoy a high-quality camp site that only other level 1 or level 2 affiliated kingdoms can enjoy?"
"These people from Chambord are being treated too favorably!"
Some of the kings questioned.
Before these kings could move, someone already did.
Suddenly, a loud voice sounded as if it was a thunder. Everyone in these camp sites within 10 kilometers heard it clearly –
"King of Chambord, I, Kelud challenge you to a battle! Tomorrow noon, at the first Sword Testing Ground, I will be waiting for you!"
This voice resonated in the sky.
Every single king heard this voice, and they were all shocked.
"Kelud? He is ranked number seven among all ten Executive Knights. He is someone of power and influence, and he is going to challenge the King of Chambord already?"
"Haha, looks like the fact that the King of Chambord defeated Golden Sun Knight brought some shame to the Imperial Knight Palace. All the rumors at St' Petersburg have harmed the reputation of the Palace, and that's probably why an Executive Knight challenged the King of Chambord in less than ten minutes after their arrival!"
"This is a great opportunity to see if King of Chambord is as invincible as he is in the rumors!"
...
Fei heard this voice as well.
"Kelud? Who is he?"
The king was able to tell from the tone of the voice that this challenger wasn't weak. At least, this challenger was stronger than Sutton. "Is it because of my face? Does my face automatically provoke people to challenge me? Why are there people challenging me all the time? Or am I too kind so everyone feels like they can show off in front of me?"
"Your majesty, Kelud is ranked number seven among all ten Executive Knights, and he is a lot stronger than the Golden Sun Knight Sutton. He is technically a warrior of the generation before you." Old Zolasc reported. He and Modric spent a lot of time on collecting information and although the information gathering system of Chambord was really bad and almost non-existent, the information on the Executive Knights, who were really famous and well-known in the empire, was at least gathered to a certain degree.
"Another Executive Knight?"
Fei rubbed his chin. He instantly knew why he was challenged. The saying goes, "After you beat the youth, the elders will come."
"So he is here for redemption? But if this number seven knight loses, would the number three, number two, or number one Executive Knight come and challenge me as well? Isn't that the same as poking a Hornet's nest?" Fei thought.
"This time, I have to so cruel and dominating that no one dares to bother me again!"
Chapter 217: 50 Sword Testing Stage
Before the sunset, the soldiers were finally able to set up all the tents.
The other several kingdoms that were beside Chambord's camp were all surprised because of one reason: it was just too luxurious. All the tents were the premium tents where magic arrays were engraved on them to give them a warm temperature inside. On top of letting the soldier live comfortably in the winter that was about to come, these tents were also able to warn the soldiers when there were attacks coming their way, and they offered a good amount of defense.
Every single tent of this level would cost at least a thousand gold coins. Also, magic gems were required to operate and run the magic arrays on this tents, and a single low-tier magic gem could only power a tent for three days. Some kings of weaker kingdoms couldn't even enjoy this level of luxury, but even a groom at Chambord could live in such tents. This made all the kingdoms around Chambord both envious and jealous.
Of course, more and more people were surprised by the force that Chambord was demonstrating.
Except these 50 magic tents, other military supplies and items seemed to be magic imbued as well, and the whole camp site had a magic surge around it as if it was a temporary magic tower that was being constructed here. At the same time, ten tower-shields that were three meters tall were being placed at each side of the site and protected the site like watchtowers. On top of each tower-shield, temporary watchtowers made out of wood were being placed, and archers stood in place to guard and spectate the surroundings with awareness.
This level of setup was on par with the setup of the ten level 1 affiliated kingdoms.
The wealth that Chambord showed shocked a lot of the people who were watching them.
"These Chambordians... so rich!"
"This is unbelievable! A small level 6 affiliated kingdom located at the northern remote region... I heard that they were so poor that they couldn't even buy their armors for their soldiers. Why are they so rich now? What happened?��
"Huh, doesn't matter how they show off, they are just a bunch of hillbillies that got some money overnight!"
Around Chambord's camp, a ton of warriors and officials of other kingdoms got together and started to chat and comment on what they were seeing despite the fact that some of them didn't know each other well. These kingdoms that established secret alliances beforehand to exchange information chatted, and some of them were envious and wanted to get on the good side of Chambord. Some of them admired and sighed, some of them were silent, some of them were full of disdain and jealousy, and some of them were being vicious and planning things.
At this time, the atmosphere of the camp site that stretched out for 10 kilometers seemed peaceful, but it was actually very intense.
Although in the eyes of the nobles and powerhouses of St. Petersburg, this competition was only a platform where the top kingdoms could show their strength and gain some profits, there were gains to be made by the smaller kingdoms as well. The bigger kingdoms could get the big pieces of the pie, and the small kingdoms could get the crumbs. Some of the smaller kingdoms had high hopes and wanted to level up their kingdoms, and other kingdoms just wanted to maintain their current level. The structure and the rules of military exercises made it that every kingdoms could face any kingdom. Therefore, before the competition, it was best to gather as much information on each other as possible.
Since as soon as Fei came in, Chambord got one of the best camp sites. This drew a lot of attention already, but one of the Executive Knight of Imperial Knight Palace Kelud openly challenged this king. This drew almost every kingdoms' attention to Fei.
It didn't matter the outcome, just being able to be challenged by one of the top warriors in the empire was an unreachable honor that many other kings couldn't get; this was in a way confirming the power of this king of Chambord. Many people who never heard of Fei got curious, and the news of the battle on the Dual-Tower Mountains was spread again. It caused a series of questionings, and it made people look forward to the battle even more.
The area between Moro Mountain and the holy capital that was about 20 square kilometers was being divided into squares of several sizes. Every square had the troops of a kingdom camped there. Looking down from the sky, it looked like a huge chess board, and the 250 affiliated kingdoms were the chess pieces that were about to begin a bloody and deadly battle.
As one of the sources of attention, Chambord enjoyed the "privilege" of being monitored.

From noon till sunset, almost every kingdom had sent someone from their kingdom to Chambord to see what was going on. According to the tradition and the rules of a competition, the fact that a master warrior who was able cause an Executive Knight to challenge him was in a level 6 kingdom was not good news for any kingdom. This tiger could be encountered by any kingdom, and this warrior would pose great threat to them. Since this was going to be the outcome, Chambord somehow seemed like the enemy to almost all other kingdoms.
Around night time, there were even more people gathered around Chambord's camp site.
There was nothing to hide. Maybe in the next few days, they could meet in the competition. It was common for the battlegrounds of the competition to be stacked with corpses. Among all the kingdoms, the most elite soldiers and warriors were brought to the competition, and these people were typically the most murderous. It was also common for them to draw their weapons and fight in the moment. The empire didn't prohibit the private duels of soldiers and warriors, and the empire even prepared 50 Sword Testing Stages where these people could duel. Recently, more than a hundred people had died on these stages. There were some star warriors among them; a four star warrior with the wood element warrior energy died there.
Therefore, all the warriors who came to spectate around Chambord's site with weapons on their back were very obvious. There were so many people around here that it looked like the most popular casino in St. Petersburg.
Among these people, there were three to four young man who looked most outstanding. Around them, there were more than a dozen guards with shiny armor and warrior energy surging around them. No one dared stand close to them. They only stood far away and looked these young man with fear and respect.
"Prince Solo, what do you think? Would they be a threat to us?" A good-looking young man with blue hair and a blue gem hairpin asked. He was wearing a gold color robe.
"Humph, they are only a bunch of hillbillies that haven't experienced anything!" Prince Solo sneered. He had brown and thin eyebrows, and he looked somewhat handsome, but his hook nose made him look gloomier. His expression looked very arrogant and full of disdain.
"Your highness, don't underestimate him. This king of Chambord defeated the tenth Executive Knight, and the seventh Executive Knight even challenged him. He couldn't be that dumb! Even though your highness is now a mid-tier five star warrior, you might not be a match!" The other young man with purple hair and a gold hair band smiled as he said. With his hands placed on his hilt, he appeared to be more calm and collected. Lights flashed through his eyes, and he appeared to be more calculative. Also, from his tone, he seemed to be provoking Prince Solo a little.
"Humph!" Prince Solo sneered. He didn't say anything, but he looked a little angry and seemed to want to fight with Fei to prove himself.
"Your highnesses. I have met with this king of Chambord before. He is not a bad warrior, but he is really arrogant and crazy like a mad dog. Also, he is really lustful; all the woman around him are rare beauties!" An elder who was standing behind these princes suddenly said as he stroked his goatee. He only had one ear.
"Oh? Rare beauties?" Among the four young man, the one who hadn't spoken got excited. He had a lack of hair, and most of his head was exposed. When he opened his mouth, everyone was able to see his yellow teeth. He was short and looked strange as if he was recovering from a serious illness. However, as soon as he heard about the beauties, he became more energetic.
A vicious light flashed through this elder's eyes, but he said respectfully, "Prince Zivitan, pardon my words. But they are at least ten times more beautiful than the four maids you have!"
"Ten times! Haha, hehe, interesting, really interesting!" Prince Zivitan who was very ugly licked his lips and laughed, "Maybe I should visit this king of Chambord!"
"It would be his honor to meet the elder prince of the Tomsky Kingdom, the number one kingdom among the top ten level 1 affiliated kingdoms..." The elder said so politely.
Not too far away from these fancily dressed princes, a few dark and thin young boys stared at the gate of Chambord's campsite. Their eyes were excited, and they had been standing there for the entire afternoon. They wanted to go through the gate, but they were hesitating as if something was bugging them in their minds.
Chapter 218: An Invitation from an Old Friend (Part One)
At the same time.
A thousand meters upstream from the water bank beside Chambord's campsite, inside a giant heavily barraged military camp that occupied almost ten times the area that Chambord's camp did.
Inside the giant tent in the center, a figure sat alone on the stone slab in the middle, gently wiping the sword in his hand.
The sword was an ordinary one.
But this man was surrounded by a sharp lingering atmosphere.
This scent was like countless swords spread out at once. The sharp horrifying breath surged and lashed, yet such an atmosphere was very well controlled to within ten-meters around his body. A lonely yet exciting curvature appeared on the side of his mouth, as if he finally found something that could allow him to slow down and take a look at his toy.
"18 years old, a man that defeated the Golden Knight Sutton. Hmph, he is worthy for me to try my sword!"
…
Time flew.
In an instant, the golden sun by the west side of the Moro Mountains only had half of a smile left. The sky gradually turned darker, putting an end to the day-training, and the camps of every subsidiary kingdom became noisy, and soon, the entire plains had begun to bustle together.
Every day at night, it was the noisiest moment in the camps.
Among the 20 or so battalion camps, besides the elite warriors from the participating kingdoms were also big and small caravans from each kingdom, as will as artisans and hawkers. The Arms Drill Competition was also a grand occasion full of business opportunities for them. They gathered at a special district specifically drawn by the Empire, and when night fell, they opened for business. All of the sudden, voices of merchants yelling to attract to buyers went off endlessly, fragrance of alcohol and meat overflew, laughter and curses roared, and the whole district with bustling with noise and excitement.
"If you want to take revenge yourself, first you must improve your own strength. However, there's always a limit to an individual's strength. To want to be able to kill Kulun under the heavy defense of the Tolemy Family, you must become a lone executor that walks in the darkness, and have the most outstanding assassination techniques. You must be familiar with every structure and function of each part of the body, and learn to grasp the psychology of all kinds of people. You need to learn how to hide and protect yourself, how to seize opportunity, how to endure, how to choose, how to setup, how to distinguish falsehood, how to confuse opponents, how to use all kinds of weapons… Of course, most importantly, you need to learn how to make your heart become harder!"
Inside Chambord's camp, Fei was guiding Inazagi and the four survived orphans on training.
These four orphans name were Kawani, Michael-Irvine, Gonzalez, and David. When they were young, they experienced an unimaginable life-sharpening experience, and then the tragedy that just happened. After seeing those most dear to them dying right in front of their eyes, their mental maturity level far exceeded any ordinary people. The unforgettable hatred made their hearts extremely tough, even holding the butcher knife, there will not be the slightest hesitation. Even though they didn't have the miraculous talent of Inzagi, they still had the talent to become an assassin due to what they had experienced. The four orphans and Inzagi were like brothers, and their loyalty towards Fei for saving their lives could be absolutely guaranteed. So, Fei had made up his mind to train these four orphans to become assassins like Inzagi, and that plan inside his mind of cultivating dark guardians could finally be achieved. These five young men will be the first batch of Grim Reaper assassins that Fei trained.
"Assassin, darlings of the night that wanders in the shadows, they don't have prominent titles, but can achieve illustrious merits…"
Fei switched to [Assassin Mode], unleashing his full energy without reservation, making others able to clearly feel this erratic, dark and exotic scent. As his body flashed, he already changed places in the camp 20 to 30 times, and every time after he teleported, the sharp feeling that he was emitting didn't weaken by the slightest. This was a very magical state, you clearly knew that there's a terrifying assassin beside you, but you would easily and unconsciously forget his existence the moment you lose focus.

Chapter 218: An Invitation from an Old Friend (Part Two)
"Before practicing real assassination skills, you need to train you energy, and also increase your body's sensitivity to changes in the environment."
After letting Inzagi and the other four people feeling how it felt to be a real assassin, Fei gave a very normal one-star energy technique scroll and an assassin training manual which he created after referencing countless Diablo world assassin skill scrolls and consulting Akara, Grandpa Cain, and many others, to Inzagi, and instructed him to take good care of them and lead the four other brothers to work hard to train.
Fei's skills all came from the Diablo world. Therefore it wasn't very realistic to get Inzagi and the others work on learning these skills right away, so he could only let these five children cultivate their energy first, and then follow the energy technique scrolls Fei created to learn assassin's skills. To be honest, up until now, as to how to train these apprentices to really become those terrifying and undefeatable assassins as he imagined, Fei didn't have the most solid plans yet, and everything was still in the trial and error process.
After he finishes guiding his apprentices, Fei had the leisure time to check around the camp.
Very soon he could feel the strange atmosphere around him. There was a lot of hostility intent among the tension, and of course there were some people that were hesitant whether or not they should reach out to them. The Chambord camp seemed to have become a prominent focal point in the area, but His Majesty the King didn't seem to mind this situation that much, because he was much more attracted to the night-market-like environment at the camp sites at night. As an otaku in the past life who didn't get out of his house often, wandering the roadside stalls was one of his few hobbies. The night market in the district of their camp was not only lively but also exotic. Many interesting things that couldn't be found here could all be found here, and undoubtedly, that aroused Fei's intention to stroll in the night market with his beauty.
A lot of people thought that after the Chambord King received the Seventh Execution Knight – Blood Knight Kruder's challenge, even if he wasn't scared shitless, he would still feel mounting pressure, and go prepare a quiet place to train in. However, when they saw how Fei first guided his soldiers in training, and then casually took a stroll around the campsite, and ultimately also had the intention of bringing his people to go check out the night market, they were suddenly a bit lost.
However, Fei's night-market plan didn't really come true.
This was because right when he got Oleg and Torres to finish preparing the magical carriage and was about to go get Angela, Emma and the others to go out, a team of tall mighty knights in shiny armor suddenly came galloping from afar. They disturbed the military camps to the point of chicken and dogs flying and jumping everywhere, but no one dared to open their mouth to curse or complain, because the two-headed bear symbol carved on these knights' armor revealed their identity as royal guards, so even if it was a tier-1 subsidiary kingdom, they still wouldn't dare to show any disrespect towards these knights that represented the dignity of the imperial royal family.
When the knights got to the Chambord Camp, they unexpectedly stopped. The tall muscular man in the lead got off the horse, and then got into the Chambord Camp by himself after the bylaw enforcement officer reported to Fei. Then, he came to Fei, after he looked from top to bottom for awhile, he paid a brief greeting ceremony and respectfully asked, "Are you His Majesty the Chambord King Alexander?"
"That's me."
"Our Master wants to invite you to the Wind-Speak Tavern in this camp district for a meet."
Fei slightly paused for a second and asked, "Your master? Who?"
The tall and mighty knight took out a folded white paper and carefully delivered it to Fei, and he smiled and said, "Your Majesty will know after seeing this."
Fei opened the paper, but only saw four words on the letter –
"An invitation from an Old Friend."
Old friend inviting me? Who the f*ck is that?
Fei was a little confused. These four words were really elegant, clearly being a woman's handwriting. However, at the vicinity of the Empire City, he didn't seem to have any female friends, could it be the Elder Princess? Suddenly, Fei smelled a faint ray of fragrance emitted from the paper. The smell was familiar yet unfamiliar, some memories not long ago suddenly came to his mind.
Could it be her?
And then Fei felt it's even more strange.
Chapter 219: The So-Called Friend
Wind-Whisper Tavern, also known as Wind-Speak, was one of the most famous pubs in the Twenty Mile District.
The reason it was famous, besides its large area, prime location, having the most fragrant wine, most beautiful maids, and most delicious dishes, was the fact that it had tough fists. In the Twenty Mile District that never lacked chaos and blood, no one dared to stir up any trouble within a hundred meters around the Wind-Whisper Tavern. Perhaps there had been a few not-so-clever guys, but they eventually disappeared into the darkness off the face of this Earth.
From what some well-informed guests revealed, there seemed to be the shadow of the Imperial Army looming behind this tavern.
The royal noble knights freely travelled here without any one daring to block their way, and the knight in the lead brought Fei to the front of the Wind-Whisper Tavern. The most passionate waiter was already waiting at the front as he hurried out to greet these guests. He led them into the tavern, and the climate immediately warmed up. The magic spell here worked even better than the central air-conditioning from Fei's past life, and from the moment Fei stepped into the Tavern, he already felt the atmosphere and force of the Wind-Whisper Tavern.
Rather than calling it a tavern, it was in fact a six-story building.
Fei followed the stairs and quickly arrived at the sixth floor which would allow him to see the entire Twenty Mile rooftop. The royal knight that had been accompanying Fei wasn't qualified to enter the sixth floor, so only Fei was admitted.
The entire sixth floor only had one hall, and the level of luxurious decorations was far beyond an average person's imagination.
There wasn't the kind of lively scene of hustling and bustling maids and guards as Fei expected. The luxurious hall seemed very quiet, and there wasn't even a single server. At the near-east direction of the hall beside the window, there sat a purple ebony wood table that was covered into the shape of a giant dragon spreading its wings. The four little dishes on the table exuded a little warmth, and the crystal gold wine bottle with a simple yet elegant design exuded an intoxicating wine fragrance. The whole world seemed to have been cut apart from the hustle and bustle of the street outside, everything was extremely elegant, graceful, fresh, and pleasant.
Fei's eyes soon focused onto the window-side.
Because there stood a person.
A woman.
An elegant woman with peerless beauty.
To Fei, this woman indeed counted as someone from the past – the flirtatious beauty Hilton Paris.
In the past during the coronation ceremony, at Chambord City's eastern mountain top at sunrise, she was the terrifying woman who almost successfully killed Elder Princess Tanasha and the [Zenit Military God] Arshavin.
If it was half a month ago, seeing this scary woman, Fei would have probably turned around, covered his head and ran right away. After all, on that day of the Eastern Mountain Top battle, he p*ssed off that woman too much. If this woman would go all crazy again and try to take revenge, Fei would probably be in big trouble. But, now Fei's strength had risen sharply and was absolutely enough to protect himself, so he was able to quickly calm himself down.
"King Alexander, we meet again."
Paris, in a graceful white dress, slowly turned around. Her peerless smile was able to easily snatch most men's soul. Her golden hair slightly danced with the wind, and there was a budding blood-red rose inserted in her hair. She elegantly walked to the small table, reached out her hand towards the table as an invite and said, "Your Majesty, please sit."
You Won't Believe What the World's Most Beautiful Girl Looks Like Today
Nueey
Fei slightly smiled, then went to the table and sat down.
"Your Majesty doesn't seem to be surprised at all, could it be that you already know it was me that invited you?" The slender white arms gracefully began pouring wine out of the gold crystal wine bottle. Her elegant manner with her tempting demeanor made it hard for anyone to associate her with the cold blood sinister female devil back on the Eastern Mountain top.
"Haha, on the invitation, there was a faint fragrance, and if I remember correctly, I once sensed this smell before on the Eastern Mountain top, so I was able to make a guess."
Fei was extremely relaxed, his eyes swept past the few dishes on the table. Although they are all normal dishes, but they were clearly from the hands of master chefs. The scent, appearance, and taste were all there. The work was delicate, and they it was enough to make a man drool. Ever since Fei arrived at the Chambord camp at noon, Fei indeed hadn't had dinner yet, and he was for a second attracted by these exquisite dishes. Without hesitation, he took out a delicate pair of bamboo chopsticks and began treating himself to the feast.
"Your Majesty is indeed full of surprises, at the war in the past, whether it was me or the elder princess, we both underestimated Your Majesty." Paris didn't mind Fei's impoliteness. She brought up the little glass in front of her, covered her mouth with her sleeve and drank the whole cup.
"Haha, you are over-praising me."
"No, not at all. In my opinion, Your Majesty deserve such praise…" Paris picked up a soft piece of meat into her mouth, slightly smiled and said, "It's just that, I'm very curious, since you already guessed that it was an invitation from an enemy of yours from the past, you still dared to come alone. Could Your Majesty really not be worry at all that I would set up a death trap here? Or do you really think that, I dare not to kill you?"
Right after the voice ended, Paris's face suddenly changed, the elegant and tempting smile immediately disappeared without a trace, and what replaced it was an aura that would chill one to the bones. This was a sharp killing intent only cultivated by experienced masters, and if it was someone else in front of Paris right now, they would've already been scared shitless.
Fei raised his cup and drank it all. He shook his head and smiled and said, "Under the demonic moon by the window, there's good wine on the high floor. Such a beautiful scene, like a peerless beauty, I thought you would talk about something interesting, why would you bring up such a serious topic? Ok, since, as a beautiful lady, you are that straightforward, I have no choice but to be more straightforward… Yes, to be honest, I am indeed not worried at all. Back then you couldn't kill me at the Eastern Mountain top, now you have even less of a chance in succeeding!"
"Sometimes, being overly confident, is being hopelessly stupid!" The devil-like woman sneered, "Chambord King, I know you defeated the Golden Sun Knight Sutton at the Twin-Tower peak, but such an achievement is nothing. In the Empire Capital, the number of people that could defeat Sutton is not a minority!"
Fei touched his chin, smiled but didn't say anything, not wanting to argue.
Paris coldly stared at Fei. Such dreamy eyes should not emit such a chilly feeling, but she stared for a full minute, yet the guy she was staring at was still casually eating and drinking. The depth of her eyes flashed with a hint of frustration, and suddenly she covered her mouth and smiled. The thousand-year frost ice on her peerless face instantly melted, and the familiar seductive smile reappeared. Her whole person instantly became a ball of passionate flame as she laughed and said, "Heehee, after the depart on the Eastern Mountain Top, within just a few months, Your Majesty's fame already shook the entire empire. Upon meeting you today, such grace, is indeed at a level I have no choice but to look up to!"
"Grace, is forged on top of having strength." Fei was not modest.
"I heard that tomorrow at noon, you will be dueling with the Seventh Execution Knight on the First Sword Testing Stage. I don't know if your Majesty knows about this execution knight that goes by the name [Bloodthirst]?" Paris gently got up to pour a cup of wine for Fei.
"Nope." Fei honestly replied.
"In that case, here I have something about the Seventh Execution Knight – [Bloodthirst Knight] Kelude's strength's most detailed report, including his most energy technique [Burning Wild Flame Blade]'s features, as well as his top ten combos and tactics explained. I will give this to Your Majesty!"
Paris said, took out a black steel box, placed it on the desk, and pushed it to Fei's side.

Fei paused on the chopstick action, looked at the black iron box, hesitated for a second, then looked up at the coquettish witch, and smiled and asked, "There's no free lunch in this world, now if I accept this gift, will I have to pay back a corresponding price?"
"Why? Afraid?" The witch-like woman spoke lazily, her eyes were very provocative.
"In fact, this kind of information is not much of a significance to me. A real master only believes in the strength of himself. No matter who the opponent is, I can kill them all with one punch!" Fei said very arrogantly, but his hands didn't hesitate as well. With a flash of white light, the black iron box was already taken into his storage ring.
"You… Your Majesty is indeed the most distinctive king I have ever seen!" The devilish woman saw this scene and was absolutely speechless. She couldn't help but start to despise Fei.
"You are flattering me!" The King's face wasn't humble at all. Faced with the peerless beauty in front of his eyes, he was not moved at all, and he was even shameless enough to say what Paris really wanted to say, "I think you meant that I am the most shameless king you have ever seen right? Haha, whatever, after all it was something you are trying to shove into my hands. In order to not hurt your feelings, I had no choice but to take it, but don't expect me to pay you back with anything."
Paris seductively stood up to pour Fei another glass of wine, and a beautiful smile appeared on her face, "Okay, you are right, I indeed wanted to say that Your Majesty is the most shameless King I've ever met, and no one will ever come close to being second!"
Fei gave her the white eye, drank all the wine, looked at the bright moon rising by the window, and suddenly exclaimed, "Not long ago we held steel weapons in our hands fighting to the death. Now we are here sitting together and flirting with love. Fate is really a wonderful thing, did we turn from enemies to friends now?"
"What flirting with love? Your Majesty, you are a little rude." The witch's beautiful eyes flashed a hint of anger. This woman, when calm, had a deadly attraction, which was sometimes noble, sometimes pure, sometimes moist and sometimes seductive. Her temperament changed between thousands of forms, and the switch between the temperaments didn't have any jerky abrupt feelings. She was indeed an addictive beauty that only appeared once a generation.
Fei laughed, and his words couldn't be more honest, "Haha, old habit. When I see beautiful girls I will habitually flirt with them for a bit… By the way, speaking of flirting, Chambord was assigned the prime location of the Twenty Mile District by the water. I thought about it, it's also arranged by you right?"
"Since Your Majesty knew very well, then you should be able to feel my heart for you right~" The little witch began to tempt Fei again.
Fei gently tapped the table, and his face suddenly became serious, "Matters of your people have nothing to do with me, just don't provoke me and I won't get involved."
"But if at a critical moment the Elder Princess requests Your Majesty to act?" Paris asked, seemingly laughing but also not.
Fei was silent.
After a long time, he then slowly replied, "If she is in grave danger, then I will act to rescue her."
A hint of surprise flashed past Paris's face, seemingly very satisfied but also not very satisfied with that answer. That strange expression disappeared right away so Fei didn't catch it, and this witch's face also became serious as she asked, "Then if my life is at risk, will you come to save me?"
"Yes." Fei's answer was very simple.
"Oh? Why?"
10 Types of Women You Should Never Marry
Nueey
"Because you are a beauty. I am the type of person that doesn't like to see beautiful things get ruined by some idiots in front of my eyes. I don't like tragedies." Fei seemed to be full, he wiped his mouth and drank the last bit of wine.
Paris smiled happily, "That's great, Your Majesty, now, save me please!"
"What?" Fei became dumbfounded for a second.
At this moment, outside of the tavern, the atmosphere suddenly changed~
A dark crossbow arrow that seemed to have melted into the night suddenly shot out from the wall below the window, and it was bursting directly towards Paris's temple.
This arrow had no signs in advance, it was abnormally sudden, and extremely strange!
But Paris seemed to have predicted that something would happen. She waved her sword and the sword light cut through the sky. With a "ding" sound, a spark bloomed in the night, and the dark crossbow arrow containing terrifying energy was sliced into a pile of iron dust by the demonic woman's sword.
The demonic witch beauty Paris, her peerless beauty could easily trick people into forgetting that she was also a master.
Pew pew pew pew pew!
At the next instant, countless dark arrows appeared again, like a rainstorm, penetrating the wooden walls of this Wind-Whisper Tavern's sixth floor. The holes were as big as bowls, and the arrows came directly for Paris's slim body under the sawdust of the wood!
Blue flame bloomed everywhere.
Paris's whole body was shrouded by this dense cyan light, her full body of wooden energy was madly being channeled, her exquisite body was constantly flashing with incredible movements. Together with the long sword in her hand, she continued to dodge or slice down the dark arrows that was covering the sky. The sixth floor that was just elegant and peaceful was instantly full of murderous intent. The noise of metal clashing and the sparks that were flying everywhere, it was a storm-like violent symphony!
Paris's swordsmanship and energy was indeed extraordinary.
But those waves of dark arrows covering the sky were seemingly endless, like a thirsty locust swarm looming over Paris's body in the dark night.
At this moment, the royal guards downstairs finally realized that something was wrong.
"Protect Lady Paris!"
The guards were shocked and angry, they shouted as they charged up the stairs, wanting to rush onto the sixth floor to protect their master.
But just at that moment, things took another turn.
With a deafening sound within an instant, the walls on the fifth floor suddenly burst open.
Six pitch black figures shattered the wall and struck in the storm of sawdust. The swords flashed a chilling light, and all kinds of colors of energy brightened the darkness. The attackers chopped down the stairs towards the sixth floor with the fastest speed, and then lunged towards those royal guards that wanted to reinforce Paris. Both sides instantly clashed, swords light flashed, miserable sounds were heard, blood flew everywhere, and chopped off limbs fell…
At the same time, Paris who was on the sixth floor finally run into trouble.
Three sharp sword lights shattered the wooden walls. The pale white sawdust fell like falling flowers, and followed by the three streams of sword light were three assassins that were covered in black scale armor. After the storm of dark arrows just passed, Paris didn't even get a chance to take a breath, and the three ghost-like figures rushed towards the exquisite body that was shrouded by the ball of cyan light.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Three deep roars were heard, as if the sound from the depth of hell coming to take your life.
Paris's face was dignified. Her sword danced, her white robe fluttered, and her yellow blonde hair jumping up and down like flames, she swiftly moved her body, leaving traces of silver sword light in the air to guard her slim body, and she went into an intense battle with the three assassins. The dense sounds of swords clashing came, and on the sixth floor, sparks bloomed in the dark like fireworks, magnificent and bright
During this whole time, Fei had been sitting quietly by the rosewood dragon table.
The dark arrows that covered the sky almost shattered the wall by the table, and Fei was naturally within the range of the dark arrows. However, Fei's performance had reached a level far beyond the coquettish witch Paris. He just sat there motionlessly, and those sharp dark arrows that could penetrate a five-fingers-thick hard wood wall as if instantly became rapped in an invisible swamp the moment they came within one meter away from his body, and couldn't move a single inch ahead. Clear water ripples appeared in the air, and the dark arrows all fell onto the ground.
The torrential rain-like murderous intent filled the floor, Fei was still in place.
Until the sound of a sharp sword being dragged across the floor came. Another person appeared.
Chapter 221: Cross of Fire
This man who suddenly appeared and stood by the corner of the sixth floor didn't even attempt to hide his identity. He was wearing a loose black robe and a brown belt made from rough cloth. His figure was about average, and his long black hair was loosely fluttering around his shoulders. He looked like an average person and didn't hide his face like the other assassins. From all Fei could tell, this man looked very normal, just like an average person.
Even if someone walked by him a thousand times, he wouldn't leave any significant impression behind.
This man somehow was standing there in the main hall as if he was there the whole time and Fei just didn't notice him.
Fei glanced at him and fixed his eyes on the weapon in this man's hand.
An execution sword!
The hilt was a thick cylinder, and the edge of the sword was a bunch of red rusted iron spikes. The sword was about 1.6 meters long, and didn't have a pointy top. It looked like a huge black rectangle sheet of metal that was sharpened from both sides, and there were two vicious back hooks at the top of the sword. This kind of sword was best for chopping, and it was primarily used on Azeroth Continent for execution of criminals. These swords were the most murderous and vicious.
This sword was being dragged by this person as if it was more than a thousand pounds heavy.
Fei first thought this man was a master warrior who was the back up of Paris. After all, not hiding the face and using such a heavy weapon didn't fit the characteristics of an assassin. However, Fei knew that he was wrong when he looked into this man's eyes.
It was the cruel eyes of death that a beast would have when it saw its prey.
Bloodthirsty!
Merciless!
This man was staring at Paris who was in the battle. Fei sensed that this man glanced at him as well. But maybe because this man didn't sense any warrior energy, this man stop paying attention to him.
Finally, this man stepped forward.
The sword was being dragged, and what was surprising was that the blade of the sword and the wood floor created sparks irregularly as if this man was dragging a mountain and not a sword on the ground.
Fei clearly felt that this man's power increased every time he took a step forward.
After the fifth step, this man was already on par with a five-star warrior.
The execution sword that was full of blood stains suddenly started to buzz and made a series of crisp cries. A sharp murderous spirit instantly filled the sixth floor. This sword suddenly seemed to have a life of its own. It was crying, asking, begging.... For the nurture of blood and flesh.
You Won't Believe What the World's Most Beautiful Girl Looks Like Today
Nueey
Paris who was in the battle sensed the danger.
Her green warrior energy exploded, and forced the three assassins to back off. Both of her hands drew out some mystic symbol in the air as she chanted. Two green saint birds flew out of her body as crisp bird cries filled the room. It made everyone feel like they were in a forest that was more than ten thousand years old, and the blonde girl in front of them was the goddess of the forest.
At the next moment, the green birds circled around Paris and pierced through two assassins who were wearing scale-armor and masks. The both of them turned into a cloud of blood mist, and Paris' sword moved and dashed through the last assassin's throat like a lightning bolt.
The man who was dragging the execution sword was calm. His face didn't even change expression as if those three assassins weren't his peers and were three dumb pigs.
Boom!
He suddenly stepped forward and grabbed onto the hilt with both of his hands as he chopped downward.
As the sword moved, a devastating force erupted from the blade of the sword and dashed towards Paris who was about five meters away. Although this force was invisible, the damage it dealt was real. Like a huge godly weapon, the floor, the tables, the pillars, and walls... everything was chopped in half in silence.
A powerful combat technique!
Paris' expression changed as the green warrior energy around her lit up again. She waved her hands, and the birds appeared again. It cried as it went up against the invisible force. In an explosion, the bird cried as it was torn appear, but the invisible force was still dashing towards Paris as if it was never stopped.
Puff!
The "evil woman" puked up blood as her body flew backward in the air.
The warrior energy that was protecting her body was instantly torn apart as well.
The difference between them was just too big. Paris couldn't even take on one strike.
The man walked up again and repeated the same movement. He chopped down with his sword again, and a devastating force dashed towards Paris' who hadn't even fallen to the ground yet. This man wasn't going to let her live.
"Your majesty, if you don't move, I will be dead!" At this critical moment, Paris wasn't nervous. A bright smile appeared on her face as she turned and looked at Fei, giving up all defense.
Boom!
A crystal and transparent fist mark that was about a meter cubed in volume appeared and smashed into this invisible force.
Crack!
The noise of glass breaking sounded. The invisible force was crushed, and the residual impact from the collision created a huge wind on the sixth floor. And like an earthquake, all the walls broke down, and all the chipped furniture were blown out of the building. A lot of gasps sounded outside, and all of the attention of the troops of all kingdoms at the campsites were drawn. The chilly moonlight was shining on the sixth floor, and Fei was already in front of Paris and blocked off all of the invisible energy!
"A master?" The man's pupil contracted.
"Yes!" The king nodded.
"Great, I like killing masters." A vicious smile appeared on this man's face as he licked his lips excitedly.
This time, he slowly raised his sword as his expression suddenly became solemn, like a devoted believer who was praying to god.
He ignored all the noises that people were making outside of the building and the sounds of reinforcement coming. All of his concentration was on his sword, and then an impressive force appeared on him. The rusty execution sword suddenly shone like a shiny crystal, and a silver phantom sword that was more than 30 meters long appeared behind it. It soared into the sky and pierced through the roof of the building. Like a torch at night, this silver light attracted a ton of attention.
"Punishment from Heaven ... Die!"
The silver phantom sword chopped down at Fei and Paris mercilessly. Before the blade hit them, the wind created by the strike already shook the building as if the building was about to be torn in half.
This man, he was a six-star warrior.
A serious expression appeared on Fei's face as he grabbed into the air. After two dashes of red flames appeared out of nowhere, the level 7 Set item [Bul-Kathos' Children] was being grasped in his hands.
Tink!
A light buzz!
The two swords [Bul-Kathos' Sacred Charge] and [Bul-Kathos' Tribal Guardian] was formed into a cross, and Fei guarded himself and Paris with these two swords over his head.
This level of defense looked weak against the phantom swords that were about 30 meters long.
It seemed like the last struggle Fei was putting up.
A smile appeared on the man's face.
But soon, this smile froze.
At the next moment, red flame burnt on the sword, and these two flames grew in the wind. Soon, the two blades turned into two fire swords that were 10 meters long each. Like a cross of fire, they lit up the nightly sky.
Boom!
The silver phantom sword collided with the cross of fire.
The sparks and colorful warrior energy exploded everywhere, and the eye-piercing lights made a lot of people close their eyes subconsciously.
The building that was trying its best to hold up against this level of battle finally cried as the whole building collapsed. The devastating waves of energy emitted to the surroundings in a spherical shape. The people who weren't out of the range got blew into the sky, and all the surrounding structures collapsed and shattered as if a nuclear bomb was dropped there!
"Go!"
Fei coiled his arm around Paris' waist as he leaped into the air to escape from the collapsing building.
A sweet bodily fragrance entered Fei's nose, and the smooth and soft sensation his arm was feeling through the white robe was fantastic. This beauty's temptation was fully demonstrated at this second.
However, none of these were on Fei's mind.
He smashed out his left fist more than thirty times, and a crystal-like fist mark was being formed in the air. Finally, a transparent fist mark that contained all the essence of a fist was formed, and it looked lively and powerful.
"Sky Frost Fist... One Strike One Kill!"
As Fei roared, the fist mark shook a little, and then it slowly accelerated and dashed toward the figure who was dashing away in the sky; the fist mark looked like a meteor that was created by a god.
"AHHHHH"
A scream sounded followed by a cloud of blood mist and chipped bones exploding in the sky like a firework.
At this time, Fei and Paris have landed on the ground.
The imperial guards quickly rushed by and protected Paris in the middle.
Woosh!
The rusty execution sword fell from the sky and stabbed into the ground in front of Fei and Paris. After a few seconds, it chipped into several pieces of metal...
"Master, are you ok?"
"Master, I came too late, please penalize me!"
"Protect, Ms. Paris!"
The imperial guards all kneeled down around Paris as they cried out. They didn't even dare to breathe hard. The most important subordinate of Prince Dominguez was almost assassinated, and they were at fault. If Paris was actually killed, they might all become slave workers to calm the second prince's anger.
Not too far away, there were many corpses.
These assassins who were in scale-armor and had masks were almost all killed. The ones who were captured alive all committed suicide, not leaving any traces behind.
Chapter 222: Do one thing for me
"You can all get up. It's my own negligence that caused the situation today, and it is not your fault!" Paris was already out of Fei's arms. With the white dress, she looked untouchable. She lightly waved her hand calmly and pardoned the guards from their obligations as if nothing happened.
"Thank you, Ms. Paris!"
The imperial guards got up with cold sweat on their bodies as they looked at Fei with admiration, respect, and suspicion.
Although they saw that they came too late, everyone knew from the look of the huge silver phantom sword, the cross of fire, and the collapsed buildings that the assassins were very powerful. They wouldn't be much help even if they participated in the battle. They knew that the assassins were enough to wipe the entire team of imperial guards. If this young man in front of them didn't act, their Ms. Paris would be a cold corpse now.
However, the king of Chambord who liked showing off wasn't in the mood of enjoying the reactions from the guards.
He sighed as the red flames flashed by and took away his set items from the Diablo World. He then dusted the chipped wood and rocks off of his shoulder as he stared at the woman in front of him for a while. "Beauty, why do I have a weird feeling about this? Seems like you already know the assassins were coming here. I feel like I've been used by you again."
The beauty fixed her blonde hair as she giggled with the other hand over her mouth. She looked very pure and naïve. She only giggled and didn't admit or deny Fei's allegations.
"So the more beautiful a woman is, the better she is at lying." Fei already knew the answer from the beauty's action.
"Haha, don't mind me. I actually don't want to use you to take out my political opponents. These assassins are not from any forces in Zenit." Paris knew what Fei was thinking about, so she explained.
"Not from Zenit?"
"Yeah. They appeared in St. Petersburg about two months ago, and they are so mysterious that no one was able to trace them. It seemed like they are here to assassinate key officials in the empire, and they have succeeded so far. More than a dozen officials and nobles in the empire have been assassinated. On top of that, both I and the elder princess Tanasha have faced attempts several times in the last few days. Although we were safe, we couldn't really find the root causes. These people are vicious and sly. They knew who the powerful warriors in the empire are, and they wouldn't try to assassinate someone when they didn't feel comfortable. I tried to trick them and trap them several times, but it all failed!"
When Paris got serious, her superficial and sexual presence disappeared completely. A holy and sincere expression appeared on her face as she smiled and explained to Fei. She looked very attractive at this moment.
"Oh, so you became more calculative and risked your own life to attract them? You only brought a few guards and no powerful warriors, but you came to such a noisy and popular place. You made them think that this was a rare opportunity so they would send their best assassins to kill you, but you invited me to come and used me to capture them all?"
Fei wasn't dumb. After hearing what Paris said, he knew what was going on.
"You are so smart." Paris giggled as she flattered Fei, "For some reason, although they are not from the empire, they knew what goes around the empire very well. They knew about the whereabouts of all master warriors here, so when I do bring them, the assassins wouldn't come. Your Majesty has the ability to kill them, and you just came to St. Petersburg and not many people know about you. The assassins won't think much of you, and that was why we were able to attract the assassins and kill them off!"
Fei rubbed his temples and thought, "Such a dangerous woman..."
"Haha, actually, since the king of Chambord killed the mysterious assassins who bothered the empire for long, Emperor Yasin would definitely reward you when he hears about it. This is a big credit, and you Alexander totally gained a ton tonight! Why the long face?"

Patriot Health Zone
From the "Your Majesty" to "King of Chambord" to "Alexander", the way Paris addressed Fei changed a lot. When she called him Alexander, it felt close and intimate as if they were old friends.
Fei thought about it and felt like this woman was right. He didn't lose anything.
However, the feeling of being used by this woman didn't feel good.
"I'm curious; what if I didn't come. Wouldn't you be seeking your own death?" Fei suddenly thought of a very important question.
"There isn't a perfect strategy in this world. Any decision comes with risks. Since you Alexander is so nice to that elder princess, why can't you be nicer to me? Am I less pretty that that pale elder princess? Haha, don't stare at me like that. If you didn't come, then I can only say that the luck was not on my side!" This beauty rolled her eyes as she said with a teasing and coquettish tone.
Fei knew this woman well, and he won't be fooled by her this easily. "I bet that even if I didn't come, you have your own way of dealing with these assassins."
"Haha, I didn't expect your majesty to know me this well. If you actually didn't come, then I can only flee and go to your campsite for protection. We could only change the battleground, but you will still fight for me! The only thing is that once the assassins get to your camp, your subordinates..." Paris laughed, "So I did give you a choice, and you made the right decision. The perfect ending!"
Damn!
This woman was really fearful.
If Fei didn't come, then the Chambord soldiers would be affected by this event.
Fei stared at her forcefully. After a short moment of silence, he rubbed his chin and said, "Let's put the rewards from Emperor Yasin aside. I just saved your life at that critical moment. Beauty, how are you going to thank your hero?"
"Hahaha, do you want me to give myself to you?" The sly beauty Paris said without hesitation despite the fact that her guards were close by. As if her true character was exposed, she said with a joking tone. However, her expression was very coquettish and yet naïve. Various temperaments appeared on her, and she looked like a blooming Datura flower. Even though people knew that this flower was poisonous, they were willing to pick it up due to its beauty.
However, Fei knew this woman well and didn't fall for her tricks.
Fei waved his hands and an invisible force loomed around them. This blocked sounds, and only they could hear their conversation.
"Before the competition, I'm going to wipe out the Blood-Edge Mercenary Group. I hope that I can bring my soldiers in without being questioned by the guards. Also, I don't want anyone else involved in this. Beauty, please arrange everything for me!"
"Hahaha, now I know. Alexander, you knew I was up to something, but you came anyway because you want this from me." Paris was really intelligent as well. She knew everything right away.
Fei smiled and continued, "Only a few people in St. Petersburg can do this, and you are one of them. Since you invited me here, I would come here more than willingly. Our relationships are formed on trades, and everything would be better if we make everything clear."
"I know that you are speaking the truth, I'm hurt by your words... Hehe, your request isn't hard to satisfy, and I can arrange it for you. However, the Blood-Edge Mercenary Group isn't that simple. There are many other hidden forces behind it, and one of them is the noble group – the Fellon Family. Alexander, you have to think everything through before you take action!"
"The Blood-Edge Mercenary Group must be eliminated!" Fei was very serious.
During their conversation, more and more people surrounded the building, and these people started to chat among themselves. The battle that was so impression shocked everyone in the campsites. The huge silver phantom sword and the cross of fire were visible from very far away, and everyone was still able to sense the residual energy of the battle from standing by the battleground. A lot of warriors came here and tried to sense more of this energy so it might help them to advance in the future.
Fei and Paris got onto a magic carriage rode by the imperial guards. Other guards separated the crowd, and the carriage was able to leave the place.
Many people knew that the man and the woman who got onto the carriage were the parties involved in the battle, but they were not sure if they should go up and ask since the imperial guards were standing by them. As they looked at the collapsed building, some smart ones knew more about it. Everyone knew that this Wind-Whisper Pub had the military of the empire behind it. However, the managers didn't stop the perpetrators and let them leave with a bunch of imperials guards protecting them. The information this leaked was very interesting.
Chapter 223: Warriors from all regions
"That man... is he the king of Chambord?" Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted as he felt like the man, who just stepped into the magic carriage guarded by imperial guards, looked familiar.
"Really?" Someone wondered.
"Yeah, it's him! I remember I saw the king of Chambord today at noon, and that young man with black hair was ..."
"But how can the king of Chambord be protected by the imperial guards?"
"Also, that huge silver sword and cross of fire, could it the techniques of King of Chambord and assassins?"
"Such a devastating force, and I can still sense the residual energy in the air. His strength is now beyond a six-star warrior; where is he now?"
"Since the King of Chambord's strength is beyond our expectations, then the duel between him and the seventh executive knight Kelud tomorrow at noon will be even more interesting! It's hard to predict who will win!"
As the crowd chatted among themselves, many warriors from various kingdoms sat down beside the ruined building and tried to concentrate and sense the residual power left by Fei and the other assassin. This level of battle was rare for low-level warriors to see; although they couldn't see it up close, the residual energy and the surge after the battle could give them inspiration. This was the best opportunity for them to try to advance their warrior energy further.
Other people who were more thoughtful looked at the magic carriage that was disappearing as their faces changed color.
Didn't matter if it was individual strength or power and influence, it seemed like the king of Chambord was beyond their imagination.
...
Imperial Martial Saint Mountain.
The mountain was located in St. Petersburg and right beside the Emperor's Palace. The mountain was like a sword that soared into the cloud and the sky. The Martial Saint Mountain was the highest point in St. Petersburg. All of the magic towers in the city were a lot shorter than this mountain.
In this mountain lived the Empire Protector – Martial Saint.
The current Martial Saint was named Krasic, and he was the invincible god in the mind of every warrior in Zenit.
The mountain shaped like a sword soared into the clouds. The steep slope of the mountain combined with the smooth, mirror-like surface of the mountain made it hard for four-star warriors to even get up the mountain that was more than a kilometer tall. There were no paths or anything that led up to the mountain.
Since almost no man could reach the peak of the mountain, Martial Saint Mountain was mysterious and majestic in the citizens' mind.

Some say that there were palaces that only gods lived at the peak. It was beautiful and didn't belong to any man.
Some say that there was a peaceful village at the peak of the mountain. It was always spring there, and there were a ton of rare animals, intelligent beasts, precious herbs, and mystic ingredients.
Some say that the biggest secret of the empire lied at the peak of Martial Saint Mountain.
Of course, all of these were just legends and tales.
Except for the important members of the royal family of Zenit and some important officials, only a few powerful warriors knew the truth behind the Martial Saint Mountain. No one knew for sure if these tales were just rumors and fake, but they all knew that the Martial Saint who protected the empire had a super status. Although the Martial Saint didn't participate in the politics, no one dared to publically question the Martial Saint's majesty. Every generation of Martial Saint was undoubtedly the most powerful warrior in the empire.
The wind blew through the clouds and flirted with the stars in the sky. A thin figure appeared quietly on the highest peak of Martial Saint Mountain. With his robe fluttering in the wind, he only left a lonely yet unparalleled power sensation to the surroundings. This sensation felt a little ancient as if this figure had been co-existing with the mountain for numerous years.
The location of the Martial Saint Mountain was in a strategic spot. This man was able to see everything around this great city at the peak of the mountain. He was even able to see the campsites that were far away. At this point, the lights under the mountain were bright, acting like bright stars in the darkness. Suddenly, something occurred! Close to the campsite, a huge silver sword soared into the sky, at the same time, a cross of fire also appeared out of nowhere...
The sensation of this sword and cross could be felt very far away.
"Huh? This... it is that little kid again. Eh, wait... it is a little different from the last time!"
A smile appeared on this man's face as he closed his eyes; everything happening within a large radius was able to be clearly sensed by him. He nodded and murmured: "That's right, it is different….. he is even stronger now, and his power is more strange... Not bad, another win. However, he is not a mad dog, but why is he like an angry wolf? He seems to fight everyone he sees...."
At this time, an elder appeared behind him. This elder bowed and said: "Master, you are looking for me?"
"Eh, I'm going to go down the mountain, and I will be back in four days. In this time, you can take care of everything around here." This man turned around and said.
"Yes, master."
...
At the west side of the Capital, the black castle was the second most magnificent building next to the palace of the emperor.
The tallest black tower within the castle soared into the clouds. On top of this tower, a man who was tall and sharp was standing there. His body looked thick and tough, and he was looking in the direction of the campsites as he was wondering about something.
Ten minutes ago, he felt a familiar sensation from that direction; it was the second time that he felt it. At that moment, the calm and playful expression disappeared from his face, and he got serious.
"The number seven Executive Knight challenged the King of Chambord without getting my permission. How dare he reach into the Imperial Knight Palace and use my knights as chess pieces?"
This man turned around and said, "This matter has to be investigated seriously."
"Yes, master." A deep and hollow voice sounded from nowhere. But then, the space beside this man rippled as if it was the surface of the ocean slightly and instantly went away.
There were a total of eleven towers in this castle.
Except for the tallest towers, there were ten other towers that were in various shapes and sizes located around the tallest tower, as if they were stars that were surrounding the tallest tower which was like the moon.
At this moment, within the hall of a shiny golden tower.
A young man who was sitting on the black, mirror-like floor with his legs crossed seemed to sense something. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked into the distance. He lost his concentration as he murmured, "King of Chambord... you got even stronger? However, it's nothing! I, Chris-Sutton had made progress as well. One day, I will come and redeem myself from the shame of the battle on the Dual-Tower Mountain... one day!"
This young man closed his eyes again.
The sharp metal element warrior energy enveloped his body again like melted gold; compared with that battle on the Dual-Tower Mountain, it was even stronger! He was already at the level of a low-tier six-star warrior.
Not too far away from this golden tower, a blood red tower gave off a chilling sensation.
A man with blood red hair was sitting on his blood red throne under a statue of a god. He rested his chin on the palm of his right hand, and his metal element warrior power was in a red color. Compared with the gold warrior power of Sutton, his warrior power was sharper and bloodier. His eyes shade had a hint of red in it, and he was staring at a man who was in a prisoner uniform. Despite the wounds on his body, this man was standing up tall and looked at the red-haired man in disdain.
"Last chance, tell me about where the Map of the Secret Scroll is, and I shall let you live!" The man with the red hair sounded cold and murderous.
"What the Templar Knight left in this world isn't something that a butcher like you can touch. Stop thinking about it." The man in the prisoner uniform said with scorn.
"If that's the case, then you can die!"
A dash of warrior energy flew out of the fingertip of the man on the throne, and the sharp energy filled the room. The flesh of the man in the prisoner uniform was sliced off of his body pieces by pieces. In an instant, this live person was turned into a complete and white skeleton.
"Next... King Alexander of Chambord, hehe. You gave me a surprise. However, that's not enough. Haha, don't give me the opportunity, and let me, the Bloody Knight Kelud kill you by "accident" tomorrow."
A horrifying red light flashed through the man with red long hair.
...
In St. Petersburg, in a slit space that was a kilometer deep in the ground.
A long sigh sounded.
"Why did the operation fail?"
"Master, a powerful warrior appeared. That man is so powerful that he injured the Executioner with one strike. The Executioner wasn't able to escape and got killed instantly. Everyone who participated in this operation all died...
"[Blood Rose] Paris... you guys underestimated this woman. How can someone who can compete with the elder princess be this easy to kill!"
"Master, we deserve to be penalized!"
"I gave this operation the go-ahead, you guys are not guilty. Did you guys investigate into who that warrior was?"
"We are still investigating. From what we know so far, that man was the king of a level 6 affiliated kingdom in the remote countryside. We don't know exactly how powerful he is; the most recent news is that he defeated the tenth Execution Knight of Zenit!"
"Continue! Get all the information on this man."
"Yes, master."
"This operation failed, and Zenit must have gained some information on us. From now on, everything needs to be more careful. However, Operation Blood Thorn must continue! I will let everyone in St.Petersburg live under the cloud of devastation and fear!"
"Yes, master!"
"Go and continue on your work!"
Chapter 224: Item from the God and Demon Ruins?
"You can finally decide now, right?" She asked as she pulled the leather cape on her shoulders tighter.
The Elder Princess looked at the letter in her hand and lightly placed it on the table. Under the magic light that had a red tone, her pale face had a rare red glow. Her blue eyes were staring at the Elder Prince Arshavin.
The man who was called [Zenit's God of War]. After a long period of silence. The last bit of unwillingness disappeared in his eyes. He nodded and said, "Tanasha, I'd admit, you were right about him. I can promise you that I won't go after the recipe for the potion, and I won't go after the King of Chambord. Now, just like you said, he has grown out wings and is hard to control!"
Elder Princess exhaled as a relaxed sensation appeared on her face.
"Will you go and check out the duel between him and the Seventh Execution Knight?"
"Of course!" Arshavin was very decisive. "This duel had already shaken half of the capital, and there will be a lot of influential figures showing up. If the King of Chambord can defeat Kelud, he would be worth it for me to get friendly with and try to pull onto my side!"
At this moment, a guard outside the palace announced a visitor. A general in silver armor came in fast and saluted at them. Then, he passed a letter to the Elder Prince. As soon as Arshavin looked through the letter, his face changed color. He stood up and said, "Three generals of the [Iron Blood Legion] had been assassinated. The situation is serious, I need to go back and check!"
After Arshavin and the general walked off, Elder Princess pondered.
"Older brother, you always loved to meet and befriend geniuses, but why are you feeling a little hostile towards him?"
...
At the camping area of the armies.
The night was getting darker, and the stars were even brighter.
It was cold during the early winter, but it couldn't extinguish the noisiness and the chatter from this area. What happened at the Wind-Whisper Pub seemed to have roused the people. The fire was burning and cracking while more exciting and wild shows were being performed in this chaotic camping ground; only the best would be respected.
After jumping off of the carriage and watching the flirtatious Paris being protected and taken away by the masters under Dominguez towards the center of St. Petersburg, Fei relaxed. With that level of protection, Paris was very safe, and the agreement between them was probably going to be honored. Despite the fact that a lot of stuff happened in the hub, his mission of being an "old friend" was achieved!
Feeling the noisiness and hearing the shouts coming from the streets, Fei who loved night-markets and small merchants didn't hurry back to Chambord's Campsite. He walked to a quiet place and took out a black cloak. After putting it on and hid some of his characteristics, he picked a noisy street and mixed himself with the crowd.
"The top-grade fox fur from Black Forest! It has some cold and ice-magic resistance. Top material for capes and light armor! Come and take a look! Last three, a silver coin each..."
"Forged by masters, the sharpest sword! Take a look! You can be invincible at the Military Practice with this blade!"

Nueey
"Mysterious items from the God and Demon Ruins, goes to the highest bidder..."
Fei heard all sorts of shouts as he walked along the street. He loved this feeling; an indescribable calmness can be felt from this noisiness. Of course, from the experience of his previous life, walking without making any purchases was boring; the real fun was in buy, buy, buy!
Fei was now rich! Except the Purple Crystal Magic Card that contained a lot of money, he had some loose gold coins and silver coins. Therefore, he bought a lot of items that he found interesting. He didn't need most of them, but he felt like a real gangster.
Fei bought all of the fox furs from that vendor. These furs were interesting, and they could be made into a nice cape for Angela later. That sword that the other merchant wanted to sell was some garbage; soldiers could use it, but it would chip into pieces after warrior energy gets injected into it.
However, that vendor who was selling items from the God and Demon Ruins attracted Fei's attention.
This vendor was surrounded by people. It was obvious that the words God and Demon Ruins were very attractive. In between shouting and angry swears, Fei squatted down and took a detailed look. Six to seven items were placed on a piece of black fur. They were all for sale. There was half of a sword, two black small balls, and three oval stones that looked like pineapples with some scaly patterns. No one knew what they were.
After Fei's observations, he found that not a lot of people were willing to pay. The owner of these items was an elder who was old and thin. He only said that these items were from the God and Demon Ruins, but he didn't know where exactly they were from and what level the God and Demon Ruins was. However, the prices on these items were extremely high! Each item was at least a hundred gold coins. That made a lot of interested people give up on bargaining. Didn't matter what happened, this elder didn't lower the prices.
"I think all of these are fake. How can you get your hands on items from a God and Demon Ruins?"
"Old scammer, brought some stuff here to fool us."
"Old man, I will take everything for the price of a gold coin, deal?"
There were some people who were knowledgeable in the crowd. Although they couldn't tell if the elder was telling the truth, the items did have a mysterious feel to them. Some people tried to convince the elder and see if they could get a good deal.
"No, every item is a hundred gold coins! I won't lower the price!" The elder was not wearing much; despite the fact that he was shivering in cold, he was very stubborn.
Fei kneeled down and held onto the item that looked like half of a sword. He weighted it, then he played with the two small black balls. After that, he gave the three oval-shaped stones a feel; he didn't know what they were, but he felt like they were eggs of some creature even though they felt like rocks.
"I will take all of it!"
Fei thought about it and said. He saw that the elder was really cold and hungry, so he felt bad for him. Also, Fei was rich, so he retreated it as an act of kindness. He took out six hundred gold coins from his storage space and gave them to the elder in a bag.
"Hehe, I knew I would meet someone who is knowledgeable." The elder smiled and showed his yellow teeth. He was missing one. He quickly took over the bag and picked out a gold coin. He bit onto it and smiled afterwards finding that they were not fake.
A few men who wanted to bargain and buy these items at a lower cost looked at Fei with hostile expressions. They weren't happy that someone came out of nowhere and took the items, but they didn't say anything. These men weren't dumb and knew that a man who could easily spend six hundred gold coins wasn't a nobody. In this chaotic campsite, no one knew each other's background.
After playing with the items in his hands, he felt like this stuff was really mysterious. He looked up and wanted to ask where the elder got them, but he realized that the vendor had already disappeared.
"I didn't even sense when that elder left with my current power level?" Fei felt like the situation was really strange.
After the transaction was over, the crowd slowly dispersed.
"Kid, you have been fooled. That old man had been wondering around for a few days. He would always bring out some stuff and say they were from God and Demon Ruins. He has scammed quite a few number of people..." A mid-aged man who looked friendly came by and told Fei.
Fei thanked the man as he lightly shook his head. He put the items back to his storage space and walked ahead.
He felt like the situation wasn't that simple.
All kinds of kingdoms were camped here. The distance between each kingdom's camp sites was about a hundred meters, and it was quite loud and noisy. Fei walked on the street as he observed the kingdoms on the sides. These camp sites were different in size and had different warriors in them; Fei was able to sense some powerful sensations from larger camp sites. "Those must be master warriors from each kingdom." He thought.
Not sure when, but snow started to fall from the sky. This was the first time that Fei saw snow on the Azeroth Continent.
The snowflakes got bigger and bigger. Soon, the entire space was dyed white.
At this moment, a deep shout sounded and drew Fei's attention.
Chapter 225: Got be a hero sometimes
"King of Byzantine, how dare you refuse to hand over the person that the Blood-edge Mercenary Group wants?"
A dominating shout sounded from a campsite that was less than half the size of Chambord's. Fei looked up and saw the campsite surrounded by all kinds of people. However, Fei was able to instantly see through the crowd and realize that there was some kind of conflict. The group with the advantage in the conflict had more than a dozen men with black suits and leather armor on their bodies. On the leather armor, there was engraved a sabre that had blood dripping down from it.
It was the symbol for Blood-edge Mercenary Group!
They were just the people who Fei was looking for!
Without making a scene, Fei quietly squeezed into the crowd and got to the front row. Through the fence posts, he was able to see the word "Byzantine" on the centre stone, declaring who had temporary ownership of this small campsite.
Fei had never heard of this kingdom before, but he got to know that this kingdom was a very weak level 6 Affiliated Kingdom. But in contrast with Chambord, the Byzantine Kingdom was in the south side of the Empire. This kingdom was located by a sea port, and the weather there was very comfortable. It was much better than Chambord.
Beside the Byzantine Kingdom's campsite, there were several other adjacent kingdoms. Therefore, they knew a lot about the situation, and Fei was able to learn.
This Byzantine Kingdom was weak, but they were located at an important sea port. Therefore, they were being treated as a fat piece of meat by other kingdoms around them. The situation deteriorated two years ago when the old king passed away; the only son of the old king inherited the throne, but key ministers were able to control majority of the kingdom's resources. The kingdom was under both internal and external threats. The young king of Byzantine came here with the hope of keeping the status of level 6 affiliated kingdom, but they somehow got into a conflict with the Blood-edge Mercenary Group who had a vicious reputation.
The Blood-edge Mercenary Group was one of the top four mercenary groups in the Zenit Empire. They had subgroups located in almost every part of Zenit, and they had a lot of master warriors. What was more important was that they were backed by a huge noble family. Among all the kingdoms camped in the area, only the ten level 1 affiliated kingdoms and a few powerful level 2 affiliated kingdoms could make them rethink their actions before doing something, but they weren't scared of the Byzantine Kingdom who were already at risk of losing their position of a level 6 affiliated kingdom after this competition. Thus, they entered the Byzantine Kingdom's campsite rudely.
"Our group head really admires Ms. Izabella, and he had invited her to our headquarters in St. Petersburg for a party. King of Byzantine, how dare you stop us?" A man with two huge hammers that were bigger than his body sneered as he threatened the young king.
The King of Byzantine was a handsome but thin young man. It was obvious that he was living a comfortable and luxurious lifestyle and had never had this kind of confrontation before. He looked very angry, but was also a little helpless and anxious. With a white robe on his body, his thin body shivered under pressure. However, he was still holding on a beautiful girl with one of his arms as he protected her with his chest. He shouted with a begging tone, "Captain Harry, Izabella, she...she...she is sick. Please let her go!"
As the king, he had to speak in such a way. It was clear that the Byzantine Kingdom was really weak.
"Hehe, sick? The Blood-edge Mercenaries' headquarters has the best doctors and healing mages. It would be perfect for her to come. We need to go!" The man with the two huge hammers on his back didn't listen to the king's begging. He locked his eyes on the girl in the king's arm as he looked very thirsty. He looked like he wanted to take this girl right now.
��You guys are too reckless! Izabella is the future queen of our kingdom and our majesty's lover. How dare you rude criminals pressure our king like that?" A loyal guard beside the king couldn't bear it anymore. He opened his mouth and shouted.
Bam!
A hammer swung in the air.
The loyal guard's head was smashed into a pile of meat paste as blood spilled everywhere.
You Won't Believe What the World's Most Beautiful Girl Looks Like Today
Nueey
This man named Harry laughed viciously as he rubbed his hammer that was stained by the blood on the loyal guard's corpse. After he cleaned the red and white liquid off of his hammer, he put it back onto his back and didn't explain his actions. His attitude made everyone feel like he just killed a fly and not a guard of King of Byzantine.
"You..." The king was frightened and angry.
"Your majesty, what are you waiting for? Quickly accept Captain Harry's request! Do you want to give up on our kingdom's hope just because of a woman? Don't forget, our kingdom can only pass this competition and maintain the status of a level 6 affiliated kingdom with the help of Blood-edge Mercenary Group!" A short and fat middle-aged man in a purple suit spoke. From the look of it, it seemed like he was a minister at the kingdom. But he was shouting at the young king and showing a very friendly and flattering attitude towards Harry. The scene was really ironic.
"Eric, as the head minister of Byzantine, how dare you... you..." The young king pointed at the fatty's nose as he stuttered. He was so mad that he didn't know what to say.
"Humph, your majesty, please make a decision fast. Don't become the one who destroy the efforts of all the former kings!" The fatty dusted off the snow on his robe as he said with a cold voice.
"Your majesty, save me, save me!" The girl held onto the young king tightly as she begged with tears sliding down her cheek.
Wind blew by, and snow fell on the young king's head.
His loyal guard was killed with a hammer in front of him. The blood from the corpse had dyed the white snow red, and the blood was still steaming in the cold....
His enemy was pressuring him with a dominating demeanor and asking him to hand over his lover.
His minister was helping his enemy and probing him with words.
At this moment, the young and thin king of Byzantine felt like he was bearing a huge amount of weight, and his body was going to collapse any second. He was looking at the girl in his arms with love and unwillingness. He looked more like a helpless weak young man rather than a high-up king.
"Your majesty, what are you waiting for? Are you really going to make Captain Harry angry? How dare you give up on the kingdom because of a low-class woman?" The fatty in purple stared at the king angrily as he pushed with his cold tone.
"I..." A painful expression appeared on the young king's face as he was tore appear.
"Humph!" Harry sneered again to pressure the king more, and other dozen mercenaries all started to sneer as well.
"Your majesty, Izabella is not willing to let you bear the name of guilt. I'm willing to give up anything for you. I ... Mr. Harry, I'm going to go to the party with you. Please, I beg you, please don't forget to help his majesty to win in the competition and save the kingdom's status..."
After seeing the struggle and pain in the young king's eyes, the pure girl finally understood something. She signed as she slowly got out of her lover's arms. Clear crystal like tears slid off of her face and dripped into the snow. Her thin body was trembling as she stood in the snow facing those beast like mercenaries. She looked like a weak little white flower as her expression was desperate and heartbroken.
"No..." The young king shouted out of pain and desperation. He reached out, but the fatty in purple dragged him back.
"Hahahaha!" The mercenaries laughed proudly.
"Ah, what a bunch of bastards. In these couple of days, they had been kidnapping girls from all kinds of kingdoms. There had been more than fifty cases..." Someone signed in the crowd. Blood-edge Mercenary Group had been kidnapping beautiful young girls and giving them as gifts to the forces that were backing them up. This kind of actions had made them a target, but those affiliated kingdoms didn't dare to offend the group because the forces behind the group was just too powerful.
However, the deepest part of Fei's heart was touched by this.
Especially after he saw the pain and struggle in the young king's eyes and the desperate expression on the young girl's face, he suddenly felt like the situation that the king of Byzantine and his lover was in was extremely similar to his situation. When he had arrived in this world, he was faced with head minister Bazzar's pressure and the threat of the black armored enemies. If it wasn't for the Diablo World, his ending wouldn't be any better than this king's...
After thinking of that, Fei took off the cloak.
"Kill all the bastards of Blood-edge Mercenary Group! Anyone who is not involved quickly move aside!"
A shout suddenly sounded from the crowd.
Followed by the shout, there were more than a dozen fire balls that were more than ten centimetres in diameter.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosions was followed by the high heat. In an instant, a redness lit up the sky. The powerful magic surge shocked everyone, and the dozen mercenaries didn't expect this and were all hit!
"AHAHAHAH..."
The mercenaries of Blood-edge who got hit screamed as they rolled on the ground. However, the fire that caught on hem couldn't be extinguished didn't matter how hard they tried. Soon, they were turned into piles of ashes, and their armors and weapons were liquefied!
This scene was terrifying.
"Who are you?" Harry held onto his hammers as he turned around and shouted.
"The person who is going to kill you!" Fei switched from Sorceress Mode to Barbarian Mode as he laughed and walked out of the crowd. With murderous spirit filling the space around him, he stepped into the campsite. He looked like a demon in the eyes of Harry.
