Dustin captured Poppy to threaten Declan because Dustin was out for revenge. Although Dustin had disappeared over the years, his forces were still active. These people did not cause trouble for Poppy previously, so she could live in peace. Now that Dustin was back, the first thing he did was to go after Poppy, which was too much. “After so many years, you’re still as stubborn as ever. I’m very disappointed.” Declan sighed. He no longer wanted to waste his breath on Dustin. He would not interfere even if Dustin died here today. “Haha, kill me if you can. Let me remind you that I’m the most powerful engraver in the world. If you kill me, the royal family will definitely hold you accountable!” Dustin was very confident in his identity. The royal family would never let him die for no reason. “You really underestimate me.” Declan smiled helplessly. He did not have to rely on the royal family to survive now. He could have established his own force as a top-notch alchemist
“What do I have to do for you to let me go?” Dustin glanced at Philip gravely. He knew that Philip had the final say among them. He would be safe once Philip promised not to kill him. Philip shrugged and said, “Don't look at me. I'm just responsible for catching you. They have to take revenge themselves.” After saying that, Philip minded his own business. He had no time to waste on this person. While they bickered, a young man appeared on the streets of Imperial City. He looked troubled as if he had encountered a difficult problem. “What should I do?” he muttered as he walked and unwittingly arrived at Philip’s doorstep. He looked around in confusion, wondering how he got there. “This is weird. How did I get here?” This strange house did not have any signage, so he had no idea which wealthy family lived here. More importantly, this place was very big, not something normal people could afford. The young man was puzzled and knocked on the door gently. Someone soon
It was normal for the young man to thank him. Philip merely smiled at him without a move. He was not trying to be full of himself but simply found the young man interesting. “I’m surprised to see you again. This is wonderful. May I have a chat with you?” The young man felt as if he had found hope and stared at Philip excitedly. He longed to have a good chat with Philip. Philip did not turn him down. Obviously, the young man must have encountered a problem or he would not be walking around Imperial City with such a worried look on his face. Luck brought him to Philip’s doorstep. “Come in and have a seat.” Philip brought the young man to the garden where everyone was judging Dustin. Philip walked over without averting his gaze. The young man followed Philip and saw Dustin kneeling on the ground miserably when he passed through the garden. He was surprised to see Dustin here. As an official, he recognized Dustin's identity. It was simply unheard of for a high and mighty pe
Lance could not figure out why Dustin would reappear after he went missing for so many years and looked so old. He would not have recognized Dustin if not for his good memory and repeatedly confirming his identity. Soon, Lance followed Philip into the garden and sat down. Philip poured him a cup of tea and invited him to take a sip. “Are you curious about Dustin?” Philip said with a smile, full of expectation. He thought Lance was quite interesting. Lance awkwardly took a sip of tea. “I’d be lying if I said I’m not curious. After disappearing for such a long time, Dustin appeared in your house in such a miserable state. Of course, I’m curious.” Lance took another sip of tea. Seeing his reaction, Philip knew that Lance was a kind person. At this time, Lance could hardly think of anything else. He felt as if he was about to freak out! Lance was surprised to find that the tea he drank would contain so much energy. He was reluctant to put down his teacup and took one
Philip spoke openly, and Lance nodded. Lance had this idea in mind. After all, the culprit was that awful guy from the Larson family. The problem would be half-solved once he got rid of that guy. “If possible, I would've killed him already, but I can't help feeling that something is off about him recently. His practice level skyrocketed even though he’s a civil servant, and I heard that his household staff have mysteriously disappeared!” Since he had the idea of killing Fernand, Lance had been paying attention to Fernand’s movements. Through his observation, he discovered many anomalies. Fernand's recent behavior had been very strange. Wherever he went, he wore a black robe that covered him from head to toe as if to hide his ugly appearance. “The black robe he's been wearing recently looks very scary. For some reason, I have a feeling that I can only see a skeleton underneath the black robe. Although he’s ugly, he has always been confident. I’ve never seen him wearing a b
Lance thought excitedly as he walked, wishing he could defeat Fernand at once. Although he was unhappy with the emperor, he was not doing this for the emperor or the royal family but for the whole Imperial City and citizens of the Guzo Continent. Once the emperor made a bad decision, the whole Guzo Continent would suffer. Fernand started from being an unknown civil servant to someone holding great power now, and his wild ambitions were apparent for all to see. After sending Lance off, everyone gathered around curiously to find out what happened. “Philip, was that the young man we helped in Guzo Forest back then? Why was he here all of a sudden? From the looks of it, he seems to have received something from you,” Aslan said curiously. He had a good impression of Lance. Philip told everyone about the issue without concealing it. Everyone was surprised to hear Fernand’s wild ambitions. Declan was not very clear about official affairs. He devoted himself to practice and f
When Lance turned up at his doorstep, Tory was confused and wondered why he was there. Although he knew that Lance was not very popular in front of the emperor recently, his name still carried some weight. Tory felt uncomfortable to see him at the door. “May I help you, junior commander? Has the emperor taken some new measures?” Tory asked solemnly. The emperor changed his mind so frequently recently that it was totally unlike him. Lance smiled at his solemn expression and took out a token from his pocket. Tory was shocked to see that token. “Oh, it’s that!” Tory took the token and infused some energy into it. Philip’s silhouette appeared. After confirming the authenticity of the token, Tory was very excited. He did not expect Philip to arrange for someone to get in touch with him so quickly. “Hello, my name is Tory Jobb. I’m very happy to work with you to execute our upcoming big plan,” Tory introduced himself with a smile. He knew that they would be the closest
Dustin was not in a good mood right now. He thought he was dead for sure, but Philip and the others spared his life. Although he felt a lingering fear, he was not at all grateful. In Dustin’s opinion, Philip and the others were just worried that killing him would bring repercussions, so they decided at the last minute to let him recover in peace. He was a highly valued existence on this continent, after all. Philip and the others could not afford the consequences if anything were to happen to him. Dustin was already tortured to the brink of death. As he lay on the floor, he felt cold all over. After catching his breath, he used all his strength to engrave a spell on his body. Dustin’s skill was not as simple as giving someone strength. With his ability, it was easy to engrave a spell to heal himself. However, he could not do it smoothly due to a lack of energy. After an hour of careful ministration, Dustin's body glowed with a faint light. Next, he simply had to wait un
“You must be referring to the lark people. What do you want with them? They're not to be trifled with. You’ll be in trouble if you mess with them.” Everyone was delighted to hear about the lark people. It was great that someone knew something. Adam was very excited to find a clue as soon as they arrived. He had thought it would take a lot of effort to find something, but reality proved otherwise. “The lark people can be regarded as the overlords here. You can find out about them easily. I'm just an ordinary old woman, so I can't tell you too much. You should approach other people if you want to find out more. Maybe you can find a storyteller. I’m sure they can tell you some very important information.” The old lady was clearly unwilling to disclose anything, so everyone was disappointed. In that case, they could not force her. “Thank you very much. At least you gave us an inkling about what to do. We wouldn’t know so many things if it weren't for you.” Adam thanked the old
“I heard that her family is quite complicated. They seem quite troublesome.” Hearing that, everyone wondered what Adam meant. It seemed that he would face problems in pursuing a relationship with this woman. Carlos looked at Adam awkwardly and sighed. “It doesn't matter. We don’t have to worry about that. Let's just take things one step at a time.” Rabbit calmly drifted around with Philip, feeling quite good. “What's there to worry about? I say the old monk has nothing better to do than worry about trivial matters. It’d be embarrassing if so many of us couldn’t bring a woman back.” Until now, Rabbit felt that the other party was just an ordinary woman, so he did not think that there was anything to worry about. They quickly joined the line to enter the city. To Philip's surprise, there was no entrance fee at all. Moreover, their appearance and attire looked no different from the others. Philip and his friends calmly entered the place, and Philip stood on guard. He had a
Philip felt helpless at the sight of this vast starry sky and suddenly felt that maybe coming here was not the right choice. They arrived without knowing anything about this place, so they might encounter various dangers. “I’m curious about the woman you've been looking for. She must be quite extraordinary,” Philip said curiously, baffled about this matter. Hearing that, Adam shook his head helplessly. He was really clueless about everything. “I only know that I can come here and find her with the key. I don’t even know where she is. We can only search aimlessly in this starry sky.” Philip was dumbfounded by Adam’s incompetence. “I thought we’d be teleported to her home or a fixed location, so I don’t know what’s the deal with this. I have a feeling that I’ve been tricked.” Adam sighed helplessly. “Let's just wander around. I’m sure we can find something somehow,” Carlos comforted Adam, but he was not optimistic about it either. He knew that they probably could not find the
Adam had to reevaluate Philip’s strength. He used to think that Philip was simply the best of his generation. Although powerful, he was not invincible. However, the ability to change certain orders and rules was not something that just anyone had. It would not be far-fetched to call Philip the chosen one favored by the heavens. Philip told Carlos to bury Bryce before forgetting about him. Carlos quickly handled his affairs, packed his bags, and got ready to set off with Philip. Adam also waited for Philip without much luggage on hand. Philip stuffed Rabbit into the Verge Tower space. He had to bring Rabbit along with him or the latter would be up to no good. “Rabbit, stay in Verge Tower and stop bothering me.” Rabbit was upset to hear that he had to stay in Verge Tower but still felt happy that Philip was willing to take him along. “Next, the two of you need to relax. I’ll wrap you with my energy. Don't try to resist or you’ll only end up hurting yourself,” Philip said.
“I have other important things to do. Don't worry. I’ll be back soon, so make sure you work hard during this time. I’ve given you all the pills you need. Whether you can make full use of them depends on you.” In Philip’s opinion, the Hexa Guild could not do anything anymore, so there was no worry about them. After much deliberation, Jamie nodded. Philip did not belong to his guild, so he could hardly stop Philip from leaving. Moreover, Philip’s pill supply was already a great help to them. It would be annoying if Jamie asked for more. “No problem. Where are you going next? Do you need my help? I’ll do my best to help you.” The Celestial Palace was powerful enough for Jamie to say such things. Philip shook his head. He would be traveling with Adam next, and his strength was incredible. It was best for them to leave together. “It’s okay. I have everything prepared. Just do your best in the competition and don’t allow the Hexa Guild to take the upper hand.” Now that the Cele
“He lost his family when their enemies sought revenge while he was very young, so he's quite pitiful in a way.” Philip was not concerned about it. The life story of a loser had nothing to do with him. Moreover, Bryce was clearly up to no good. Getting to know him was a waste of time. “I found all the information he researched. To be honest, I’d think highly of him if he weren't up to no good.” Rabbit waved his paw smugly. He had looked through Bryce’s things and knew exactly what he had researched. Philip looked at a bottle of potion and could tell everything at a glance. “He’s a genius, indeed, but there’s no saving someone with bad intentions.” Philip shook his head helplessly. Bryce could only blame his bad luck for encountering them today. Carlos quickly took care of Bryce. There was no point in keeping such an evil villain. There was no need to be charitable in this situation. Adam looked at the room and sighed helplessly at Bryce’s unfortunate end. Although he had
Philip was curious about this situation. Since he could not get any information from the stubborn hooded man, he would find out indirectly. “That’s enough. Take him away. He has no value to us anyway. It's better to send him away.,” Philip said with disdain and did not take him seriously at all. The hooded man was shocked to hear that Philip was sending him away. He was nervous and afraid that Philip would do something to him. Although he was selfish and unreasonable, he was also a coward and afraid of death. Everyone sighed helplessly at his mournful wails. Adam closed his eyes, unwilling to get involved. Seeing this, Philip believed that Adam was unwilling to pay attention to his nephew, but he was still curious. If they were closely related, why would this guy's family sever all ties with Adam? It was advantageous to be on good terms with Adam. Not only would they receive guidance on practice, but they could also listen to his lectures from time to time. For example,
Philip and the old monk greeted each other happily as if they were old friends. Carlos was surprised to see Philip on such good terms with the high and mighty old monk. This was something he had never even dared to dream about. It was unbelievable that he could sit and drink happily with the old monk one day. “Let me introduce my friends.” Philip calmly introduced everyone around him, ignoring Carlos’ anxiety. Carlos stood up when he saw the old monk. “Hello, my name is Carlos. I admire you very much. I never thought that I'd be able to meet you one day. It’s my honor.” Carlos was happy and excited to get more perks than the guild leader. The old monk was quite friendly. After greeting Carlos with a smile, he looked at Philip curiously, wondering what he was up to. “I want to find out if you know someone.” After saying this, Philip asked Carlos to bring the hooded man out. The guy was tied up tightly and looked pitiful. More importantly, his clothes had been stripped off,
The hooded man woke up very soon, and he could not believe that Philip caught him. “What's going on? How did you catch me? This is impossible.” He was very confident in himself and knew that no one could catch him so easily, but reality had just proven him wrong. He had no choice but to believe it. “What's impossible? You underestimate me too much!” Rabbit snapped furiously. “What’s your name?” Philip stared at the man curiously. He had a feeling that this person was the same as the old monk. “Rabbit, call the old monk over. I want to speak to him. He may not know you, so you need to tell him who you are.” After interrogating this man, Philip wanted to speak to the old monk and find out his opinion about this hooded man. Since the two gave him the same feeling, they had to be connected somehow. Rabbit hopped over to find the old monk. He knew that the old monk was the best referral for this matter because he was very powerful and knowledgeable. The old monk was resting
