Chapter 246 (2/2)
At his word, Du Wei dropped down to his saddle and kicked his horse to h speed, Du Wei left for the forest with Hussein closely at his back
Once Du Wei’s figure coaard’s face finally became somber
“Father” Cybuster whispers from the side
Raising a hand, Rugaard turns to look at his subordinates: “All of you can move down”
At his coenerals had their face turn dark Regardless of their mood, all of them rode away to leave the father and son duo alone
“Father, you see……” Cybuster’s voice was deep and full of worry
“Indeed, that sword is ‘Beauty under the Moonlight’ But then shouldn’t that sword be in Rodriguez’s hand? That youngster’s whereabouts had always been aus to be fruitless in our search…”
Cybuster coldly laughs: “If ‘White River’s Sorrow’ knew the sword is in the Northwest, he will definitely coht’, his Shanized!”
Rugaard was silent for a while: “Back when Gu Lanxiu (For) left Snowy Mountain, I had alorried about one thing when he took the sith him……That is Blue Ocean (Fauy secretly put in placeAlthough ‘White River’s Sorrow’ is strong, but there are many secrets that cannot be activated without the sacred sword of Snowy Mountain I’ve always speculated the sword is in Blue Ocean’s hand, unfortunately, the spy I planted never found any clue…… In fact, I even wondered if Gu Lanxiu played dead like before, or if that Rodriguez is Gu Lanxiu’s newest disciple Otherwise, how can ‘Beauty under the Moonlight’ fall into an outsiders hand… But today, things got even more complicated!”
Cybuster thought it over and said, “No matter what, the sword is in this Du Wei’s hand now…”
Rugaard did not reply, his eyes filled with cohts: “Do you think this Du Wei is a disciple of Gu Lanxiu?”
Cybuster smiled: “Father is so foolish!+ Gu Lanxiu’s been dead for decades, how old is this Du Wei? From what I see, this Du Wei more like Blue Ocean’s disciple As to ‘Beauty under the Moonlight’, I say it was passed on to him by Blue Ocean”
“Huht’ uez’s hand, but now…… We ht of it while it’s under our eyes!”
Cybuster sneered: “Father, ‘White River’s Sorrow’ onlybecause you didn’t care for the post, yet why do you care so much about this sword?”
“What do you know!” Rugaard softly utters his words: “As the current head of the Northwest Army of the Roland Empire, I command over 200,000 soldiers and can loft around in the Northwest Who can controlatop of that bitter cold mountain, my life here is way better However, the many secrets hidden inside that place still temps me…… Are you not temped too after I told you about some of those treasures?”
Cybuster sighs: “It’s just so infuriating… That old fart Gu Lanxiu favored Blue Ocean and his brother so much, yet towards you……”
“Quiet!!” Rugaard suddenly snapped Growling at his son: “You better listen! I’ve warned you many-many times! I may insult Gu Lanxiu, but you cannot! No one is allowed to insult Gu Lanxiu while standing before me! I forbid it, you understand!”
Cybuster did not reply Slowly stepping back a few paces, he lowers his head: “Yes… Father!”
Only then did Rugaard nod in satisfaction Slowly turning to look up at the sky, this h: “No matter what… Gu Lanxiu is after all… My Teacher”
Unbeknownst to Rugaard, a hint of lethal sharpness crossed Cybusters eye while the kid pretended to look dejected
After a long aard finally continues the subject: “What ic do you think that Du Wei just used? Doesn’t it look like…”
Only then did Cybuster raise his head to looking at his father: “I ondering that too To be able to drive so many normal animals to his side…… If I remember correctly, father, you said Snowy Mountain have a sha with any living animal in this world But because of the difficulty of that skill, there hasn’t been anyone capable of practicing that art for hundreds of years This Du Wei……”
“This is what I’aard clenches his teeth: “This Du Wei’s talent is very high At such a tender age he’s already earned quite the fah proof that he’s not weak! If he has ‘Beauty under the Moonlight’, then I’ if he learned the stuff froe!”
“Then why don’t we make sure his life never leaves Watt City…” Cybuster shows his murderous self
“Cannot kill!” Rugaard suddenly reveals fear in his eyes: “You’re not a member of Snowy Mountain so you don’t know! Any member of Snowy Mountain can never kill their peers If they do, they shall be cursed forever and live a life of misery!”
Cybuster apparently didn’t believe it and wanted to shrug the superstition away: “Father, you really believe such stuff?”
“Quiet!” Rugaard speaks coldly: You of course wouldn’t believe it! But look at that ‘White River’s Sorrow’ for exah I’reatest talent Snowy Mountain have ever coardless of Shamanism or Snowy Mountain’s martial art, ‘White River’s Sorrow’ supersedes all of us in terine? For so Gu Lanxiu with ease to be trapped atop of the Snow Mountain, how terrifying that curse must be! If not for that incident where he went off on a killing spree, I can guarantee ‘White River’s Sorroill topple any Magister or Saint Knight across this continent……You remember it well and remember it hard I may not know if this Du Wei learned Snowy Mountain’s Shamanism or not, but for the sacred sword, we must kill him! However, if we find out he did learn shamanism, then by all means, we cannot kill him!”
Cybuster grits his teeth, “If so… Then that spell he used is clearly animal speech”
“Then… We can only coht for a ive in to him That is still within the acceptable level”
“Even If we can’t kill him … … He is still within our territory Father, we have hundreds of thousands of troops at our beck and call I don’t believe he can flee with so ht, he can’t possibly fend off the entire Northwest Ar as father doesn’t personally kill him, then the curse wouldn’t take effect”
“No is no!” Rugaard suddenly became anxious: “Cybuster! You just don’t understand! There’s soht now! Anyways … You listen toas we can’t deterer on hie of his safety!”
