Chapter 578 - Is This a Monkey Show? (2/2)
“Mr. Roland, it’s been two or three days since I’ve seen you. I didn’t expect to meet you here.” He swept his eyes over the white cat Marilyn and added, “So you like catgirls. There are quite a few beautiful catgirls at the Spatial Magic Tower, like that Maromatha. If you’d like, I can have her come to keep you company.”
“I don’t want to talk to you. Get the h.e.l.l out of my way.” Roland growled angrily. Morton still smiled. “I’m your elder regardless of anything, that’s not very nice of you.”
Roland snickered, not saying anything.
Morton shrugged. “It seems that you still have some misunderstanding about me, so I won’t bother you.”
After speaking, he walked past Roland.
The two gradually moved away from each other.
Morton’s smile eventually disappeared and his expression slowly became grim.
Roland’s expression, on the other hand, slowly went from angry to calm, and even the corners of his mouth curled up gently.
Time moved quickly, and two more days pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye.
In Delpon, Andonara stayed in the manor and didn’t go anywhere.
She kept the Hero’s sword on her, and the afternoon tea she used to love so much hadn’t been drunk once in the past few days.
At the same time, the atmosphere in the Magic Tower of Delpon was not quite right.
All the Mages, including magic apprentices and handymen, were given leave but were essentially driven home.
Vivian went back to the manor and stayed by Andonara’s side.
It was on this day that Andonara was in the manor’s pavilion with her eyes closed, and then black smoke appeared in the woods over to the west.
Andonara immediately stood up and said to Vivian, who was next to her, “Sound the alarm bell in town, and then hide in the secret pa.s.sage.” “I think I can help too.”
Andonara rolled her eyes at Vivian. “The enemy coming has a high chance of being Legendary, what help can you be? Go hide, and don’t be a burden.”
“But I want to help Roland…”
“You’re not helping. Instead of being stubborn with me here, save some more energy and stamina for when Roland comes back and milk him with me so he doesn’t have the strength to think about other women.” That was so blunt that, although Vivian and Roland had been in negative contact a dozen times already, she was still embarra.s.sed and covered her face, then ran off to hide.
Andonara immediately donned her armor, wearing her longsword and holding her blue spear in her right hand, and went straight to the place where the smoke had risen.
As she sprinted, alarm bells were rung throughout the city, and the residents of Delpon froze briefly before screaming and picking up their possessions and wares and running home.
Those who had tunnels hid in tunnels or secret rooms…
And those who didn’t, hid under the beds of their homes.
Andonara ran to the fire beacon, which was at the eastern wall of the city.
A group of soldiers surrounded the beacon, and the man leading the group was Andonara’s eldest uncle, Cage.
“Anna, you’re here!” Cage nodded to Andonara.
Andonara’s eyes gazed to the east and noticed a black dot appearing at the edge of the sky. The black dot was growing larger, and at its current speed, it was estimated that it would be over Delpon in less than half an hour. Andonara said to Cage, “Uncle, take the soldiers and hide. I’ll take care of things from here.”
“Take care of yourself,” Cage said, patting his niece on the shoulder.
He knew very well that his niece was extremely strong now and no longer needed the a.s.sistance of ordinary people or ordinary troops. If she couldn’t block the enemy, then all the soldiers in the entire city would be of no help.
When Cage informed all the city guards to come down from the city walls, the black spot in the sky had become very large.
“A flying s.h.i.+p!” Andonara recognized this thing in the air at a glance. “And on the hull, there’s the logo of the Spatial Magic Tower. Hehe, it’s really as my man predicted. These people don’t dare to fight Roland head-on and engage in such boring tricks like capturing people’s relatives.”
She spoke and smiled coldly.
Even so, she still looked charming and alluring.
She waited where she was for a while. The flying s.h.i.+p in the sky flew nearer, already very close.
She grasped the spear in her hand and made the motion of hurling it.
The blue immortal phoenix flames wrapped the whole spear, then she dashed a few steps forward, and with the force of her sprint, she pressed her right hand forward and threw the spear forcefully.
One minute ago:
Greene and Barnard were standing in the captain’s cabin of the flying s.h.i.+p.
There was a big crystal ball between the two of them.
This crystal ball had constant Remote Detection and Mirror Image Manifestation, two kinds of magic arrays, which could manifest the environment and situation around the flying s.h.i.+p in the crystal ball in real-time.
Both of them were a little excited when they saw in the crystal ball that Delpon was ahead of them.
“The Great Elder sent a message over saying that Roland is still at the Red Magic Tower, so we shouldn’t encounter any obstacles in our operation.”
“But we don’t know exactly who Roland’s friends and family are.”
“There’s no need to rush this. First, we’ll bombard them with magic from up here for a while, then we’ll go down and interrogate the scared-a.s.s locals who should know who Roland’s relatives and friends are, and just grab anyone with any connections.”
Greene laughed. “Barnard, you’re not afraid of a Legendary Great Swordsman? I heard that among Roland’s women, there’s one named Andonara and she’s a very strong Great Swordsman.”
Barnard sneered, “What a joke! Do you believe this information?”
“I don’t believe it.”
Barnard spread open his hands. “Then everything’s fine. There aren’t even that many Legendary Great Swordsmen in Fareins, so how can a small, remote country like Hollevin have a Legend, a woman no less, and not even over thirty years old? Now spies have exaggerated the intelligence to catch people’s attention so much that it’s not in line with common sense. When I get back after this, I have to properly rectify the intelligence system.”
Greene was deeply convinced.
He too scoffed when he saw the information.
Barnard spoke up again at this time. “Ho, it’s a beacon! Is this beacon lit for us?”
The crystal ball revealed the beacon on the city wall, and then Andonara.
The two laughed, and Greene said, “There’s not even a man on the walls, and there are no soldiers. Only one woman. Have all the men in this city died out?”
Barnard was speaking when he saw the image of Andonara wrapping a spear in blue fire and then hurling it forcefully. The two men froze for a moment, then laughed out loud at the same time.
Tears were coming out of their eyes. Their flying s.h.i.+p was at least two kilometers off the ground, and many people’s magic couldn’t reach this distance.
A woman throwing a spear?
Was she performing a monkey show?
