Chapter 767 (2/2)
The flashing blue light stabilized quickly, signaling that Clito had also activated his ring on the other side for communication.
“Are you free? If you are, apply to leave tomorrow and accompany me on a trip to Gold Crown City.”
“Gold Crown City? What do you intend to do there? I don’t have good memories of that place.” Her husband, Clito Castor’s voice was emitted through the ring.
“Really?”
“Other than meeting you there, I was extremely unlucky in that place. I had to be warded about four or five times and nearly lost my life twice. The worst was when a guy tried to hit on me… Never mind the other instances, this one incident was enough to give me post-traumatic stress disorder!” Clito sighed.
Asner couldn’t help but laugh. “I thought you mentioned previously that no matter how unlucky you were, meeting me was lucky enough to even it all out?”
“Of course! But why would I return there? What’s the issue with our current peaceful state?”
“My older brother just contacted me and wants me to bring his son Antonio away to a place where the God of Aristocracy cannot find him.”
Clito thought for a while and replied with a firm tone, “When we eloped in the past, if not for brother-in-law’s help, we would have been caught by your heartless, power-hungry father. We cannot refuse his request for a favor now. It’s just that… If we were to follow what he wanted, unless we lock him within a temple, what can we do?”
“I just prayed about it and asked His Majesty for his opinion. He indicated that we can lock him in the God Kingdom.”
“This fellow is really lucky…” Clito couldn’t help but scoff, then smiled. “Alright then, I’ll apply for leave later and accompany you tomorrow.”
“There’s no need. Tomorrow, I will directly send the both of you over.” Sui Xiong, who had been floating at his side, suddenly spoke.
“Ah? His Majesty, you’re not asleep?”
“Have you ever seen a jellyfish sleep?”
Sui Xiong and Clito’s conversation was, of course, heard by Asner as well. She couldn’t help but smile as she thanked Sui Xiong.
The next day, Clito and Asner used legendary magic to transport them to Gold Crown City, which was the capital of the Commonwealth of Gold Coins. Although the Commonwealth was now broken up, on paper, this was still its capital. The past two great marquis and three great unions’ headquarters were all here. Even if the latter had all moved away, the former still remained, and its status as the capital did not shift much.
The couple did not waste time and immediately reached the manor of the Marquis of Gemstones and entered through the back door.
There were three guards at the door, and two were in warrior attire while one was in high-level paladin attire. Although they were all middle-aged, they were full of energy, and one could tell upon a glance that they were extremely skilled. While they were usually quiet, they had an aura of arrogance. However, in front of the couple, they were polite. This was not just out of respect for their power but also their identity. Clito was their master, and Asner… was their employer’s sister. If not for this relationship, Clito, who hated trouble, would not have bothered to spend four or five years to train them. Among all their teachers, Clito was the master they respected the most.
The couple entered the marquis manor and met Yug, who had been awaiting their arrival. After a few hushed words were exchanged, Yug brought them to his secret chambers.
He had pumped in large amounts of sleeping gas since the day before, and despite Antonio’s best efforts to resist it, he had eventually succumbed and fallen asleep. He lay motionless across the table.
Although Antonio was much taller than he was, Clito lifted Antonio up with ease. After bidding his brother-in-law farewell, he boarded the magic carpet that he had prepared and disappeared with Antonio’s body to return to his camp.
He then proceeded to pass Antonio to Sui Xiong.
Ten minutes later, Antonio awoke to a foggy environment and the company of a young, confused man who was naked except for a pair of pants made out of leaves.
This was the “previous” Samat Viscount.
