“The second rule of the Wolf family: no mercy!” Rowen looks at the body not far away and remembers what Patriarch Brian has taught him: “We should show no mercy to the enemy, if we have the ability to kill the enemy, do not give the enemy the opportunity to fight back!”
In his heart he agrees with the Patriarch greatly. For now, if he does not kill the enchanter completely, he will lose his life if the enchanter fights back because he is too tired to run any more that time.
He picks up the dagger he has just dropped, slowly wipes the blood off it, and tucks it into his waist. His strength is slowly building up, but Rowen doesn’t want to stay there as he doesn’t not know if the enchanter has accomplices, and it’s not safe to stay here anymore.
Rowen tries to stand up by holding the iron block, muttering to himself as he looks at the iron block that has just saved his life, ” I always believe that you couldn’t be a pet beast, and much as your whole body seems to be iron, I will call you iron armored beast then.”
From this moment, Rowen’s first summoning beast finally takes on its own unique name.
Calling the iron armored beast back into the summoning dimension, Rowen raises his feet with some difficulty and makes his way out of the Thunder Valley.
However, he walks just a few steps, and then he has to stop again for he watches a figure flashing out, and suddenly there’s a tall man standing in front of him four or five meters away.
Without hesitation, Rowen conjures up the iron armored beast which lunges at the tall man.
Naturally, he classifies this man as the companion of the previous enchanter, so he hopes to use the sneak attack to beat this opponent.
Bang!
The iron armored beast hits the ground badly. However, this time he is not lucky enough to hit the enemy.
Rowen does not recall the armored beast back out of disappointment. He continues to smash although he knows that hitting a target requires luck. But the iron armored beast always shows up somewhere near him every time, and he believes that if he has more tries, he will hit him once.
This time, the iron armored beast makes a beeline towards the enemy’s position. And Rowen’s cannot help but rejoice, but the joy does not last long, for he notices that the enemy easily escapes being hit.
At this moment, a soft voice arises, “Don’t be so nervous, little guy. I’m not the companion of that stupid enchanter.”
“Who are you?” Rowen retreats to the iron armored beast, looking warily at him. It is not until this time that Rowen sees clearly that he is a handsome middle-aged man, well dressed and distinguished.
The middle-aged man smiles, “One day, you will know who I am.”
“If you don’t mean to bother me, please clear the way. I want to go home.” Rowen is still alert, and today’s event strikes him as abnormal.
“You should thank me, kid. I’ve come out of my way to save you.” The middle-aged man shakes his head slightly, “It’s just that I don’t realize your summoning beast is so funny that you could kill that stupid enchanter without my help. I have to say, you have really broadened my horizon!”
“You mean, you knew he intended to kill me?” Rowen is a little surprised.
“Of course, I’ve been following that idiot.” The middle-aged man takes a look at the corpse of that enchanter not far away. It seems that he knows the enchanter, but he is obviously reluctant to tell Rowen the enchanter’s name.
“Who is he? Why would he kill me?” Rowen asks eagerly.
“Someday you will understand these questions.” The middle-aged man remains enigmatic.
“In that case, we have nothing to say.” Rowen is upset and he recalls the iron armored beast to the summoning dimension. He lifts his foot and tries to leave.
“Be patient, little guy.” The middle-aged man smiles, “I can’t answer all your questions right now, but I can tell you where to find the answers you need.”
“In what place?” Rowen stops.
“The Imperial City.” The middle-aged man says slowly, “In the Imperial City, you can solve all your mysteries.”
“The Imperial City?” Rowen stares, “Are you from the Imperial Capital?”
“Yes, I’m from the Imperial City.” The middle-aged man nodes slightly, “Besides, I have prepared a present especially for you.”
“I don’t need your gift.” says Rowen faintly, “As for the Imperial City, I will go there in the future.”
Rowen really wants to go to the Imperial City, because his parents were missing in the Imperial City, and he always believes that his parents are still alive, he wants to go to the Imperial City to search for information about his parents.
“I’m sure you’ll need this gift.” The middle-aged man pulls a cowhide envelope from his arms and hands it to Rowen. “At least, you should see what’s in there.”
Rowen hesitates a little and then finally takes it. He wants to know what’s inside.
