Chapter 373 - 326 : The Manor (1/2)

Two days quietly passed, neither Lucy nor Arthur did anything that may bring attention. Lucy bought a decent-sized villa on the Eastern side of the capital and passed her time either reading a few books or meditating. Arthur, on the other hand, kept possessing that small flower decorating her hair.

If he returned to his original body, Makaze would surely not calm down like last time which may cause their location to be discovered. Furthermore, they didn't leave the capital for two reasons. First, they need Losha's help, even if they have to force her to fix Makaze.

She knows Lucy's identity which means she can snitch on them whenever she wants. So, fixing Makaze takes full priority as he needs to be ready to fight anyone coming from Lucy's clan. Second, Arthur needs to visit Jian Si and inquire about the prince and princess who had gone missing a few years ago.

They weren't with Mary and the others which means they were abducted by other people. At first, Arthur thought they were taken to Bucama's world then brutally tortured but that was rather unlikely as they seemed to have disappeared just a little bit before the evil race invaded the emperor's castle.

The Mountain Ba Sword Sect isn't located inside the Imperial Capital but outside. You'll have to travel a fair distance to the West before encountering a large mountain range, which the sect's territory.

Infiltrating the sect isn't a difficult thing for Arthur, in fact, he was confident in finding Jian Si within two hours, at most. However, he needs to be certain that she's in her sect and not roaming the world or else his effort would have gone to waste.

”Why don't we trick her? I'll accept her offer and become her disciple and she'll fix Makaze in return. When it's fixed, we'll just leave.”

Arthur, who was still hiding within the flower, replied:

”It will be hard to escape. There's no telling where she'll take you to train. Moreover, what if she brings you to a secluded place and forces you to train for a long time? Don't forget that we promised Saly to return in half a year.”

”....”

Lucy remained silent as she thoroughly checked all their available plans. They can't keep wasting time and idling in this place. It won't too much time for Losha to locate them and force her decisions on them, or so thought the couple.

The reincarnator was overbearing and it was definitely a blessing and a mistake to visit her. The issue is to get her on their side, at least until Makaze is completely repaired.

Arthur was certain that if Makaze is repaired and he's fighting with Lucy, he'll stand a chance against Losha.

'You're really underestimating reincarnators. Moreover, she has one of the Divine Swords. If you want to injure her, use Void Magic.'

Claud calmed down since last time but he still viewed Losha as an enemy and opposed any idea of befriending her.

'So what do you want me to do? Search the whole Universe until I find the necessary materials to fix Makaze? It'll take a long time.'

Claud retorted almost immediately

'Isn't that what you intended when you began this 'adventure' of yours? In a life such as yours, nothing is easy.'

Unfortunately, before the two of them could finish their conversation, another uninvited guest appeared in their new villa. Lucy was just about to get up and leave this place to check the treasure shops in search for Star Iron or Dark Yin Steel only to be started by the appearance of a tall woman.

With a suffocating pressure and seductive smile, she sat opposed of Lucy while waving her hand in innocence, clearly indicating she didn't come to fight.

”I know you're here somewhere, why don't you come out?”

Her words were directed to Arthur. Even someone as powerful as she couldn't sense his presence, who became so minuscule after activating more than twelve passives and three active skills. Who would ever think he's actually the flower on Lucy's hair, it's absurd to even have such a thought.

”He's not here.”

Despite her surprise and a bit of anxiousness, Lucy kept a deadpan face and replied. In response, Losha's smile widened as she leaned on the comfortable sofa and tried to find Arthur herself but to no avail. She could sense nothing but air.

”You're aware that causing a ruckus here will alert everyone in the city, right? I'm sure that's not something either of you wants.”

The reincarnator crossed her arms and resumed talking

”Consider it as an exchange, you let me train you, so you can fully bloom and kick ass, and I repair that dark blade. It's a win-win situation.”

Meanwhile, Arthur and Claud were arguing about how to proceed. Just like Losha said, a destructive skill such as Rizaki would cause immense devastation and both the Royal Guards and the other factions will arrive within seconds. Void Magic could work, however, that's only if it manages to hit its target.
