Toto happen in the next few days wouldn’t be understandable

In just a doh most of the rumors ithout much elaboration, those with connections were still able to figure out that this ‘princess’ was naht These people were also quick to know this young lady’s true identity; she was the previous ruler’s biological daughter and also Lydia’s younger sister Due to certain accidents, she had to leave Golden City for the Paphield region And as for what happened afterward… nobody was sure

Just as Rhode had guessed, this news caused an uproar However, the majority of the people was only curious as after so er sister Now that this younger sister had appeared, she was also going to attend the Midsu on?

More importantly, Lize’s identity wasn’t announced by herself, but by Lydia’s direct guards… which left many puzzled…

Soroup in order to uncover more information After all, as they were concerned about Lize, they also wished to know roup that she was in To these people, digging up inforroup wasn’t difficult Shortly after, they learned that this roup had faced a disaster after which only Lize and another person who survived Then, theynoble and the noble helped Lize reconstruct the roup didn’t have many members, but they were powerful, and have co They were currently ranked nuion

However, such information wasn’t valuable to theroup was and where he came from They heard that he was a noble who had come from the Eastern Plains But hoerful was he? Did he forroup out of boredom or he have other intentions? Also, for him to appear next to the ‘princess’, was it a coincidence? Or did the King’s Party send hiet all this infordoreat and the chances of anyone overthrowing her was basically zero This Archangel was not only smart and sly, but she was also vicious As soon as she turned around, this 16, 17 years old Angel young lady would turn into a devil But now, she chose to announce this secret to the public No one believed that she didn’t put in any thought before doing so

That hy these people tried to gather inforh they could use the forces of the nobles’ network to investigate, the nobles of the Eastern Plain were far away froon’s first line of defence, so past rulers of Golden City held much respect for them Also, these nobles had inherited the reserved nature of people in the Eastern Plains and rarely revealed thedoh the people in Eastern Plains rarely attended parties and social events, they held a strong influence in the King’s Party, so it wasn’t wise to provoke them

The safest as to search for ht and seek for information They were confident in this because, after all, Golden City was a popular city that never slept, so everyone who came to Golden City would definitely explore the place When that happened, they only had to watch the mercenaries attentively and ask for information

However, when the ‘localdiscovery; Starlight members didn’t even leave their residence!

Ever since Rhode led Starlight into the campsite, they had never stepped out No one knehat they were doing all day long inside Then, the caht kept his

This left theht was able to participate in this Midsuht was an extreroup like theo and had less than 100 uilds?

That hy they thought that this h theGolden City, these people would definitely grab the chance to indulge in drinking, pleasure, and enjoy the nightlife of Golden City before returning to Paphield with the rights to show off Then—there was no uilds?

But now… Could it be that they were still thinking of winning? Were their heads fine? Or could it be that the noble was a brain-dead and he believed that he could win?

Everyone felt ridiculous, as though an ordinary person was going to participate in a heavyweight match where he would be knocked out in one punch and yet he continued to train… What was the point of that?

But no matter how people criticised, all the information they received fro all day and night without anyone stepping in or out

This inforless to theht to attend so news

The only result they received was that the leader of this roup was a beauty—but was also a roup?!

Actually, froly

They thought that Rhode and his men were country pu Golden City But, in fact, it was totally different It was even ame, Golden City was almost like his main city So to him, this was only a trip down rew up in Golden City and even lived in the highest and h they hadn’t returned for a long time, they didn’t seem excited

As for Joey and Randolf, they weren’t even in theback to when they stepped up on the Sacred Arena just a few days ago, they were so nervous that their ive theet about unnecessary matters If not, no one kneould happen to thes did exist

Anne and Lapis were dissatisfied that they were unable to experience the beauty of Golden City The former had theup in the roorumbled, she was still obedient Since Rhode said that she couldn’t leave, she wouldn’t She could do so after the coh she wasn’t a main participant and only a substitute, she still wished to explore this beautiful city The pitiful young lady could only look out of the hile concocting potions…

Although Rhode hoped to lock everyone in until the last day, he was clear of the crooks a the ‘princess’, it would definitely be chaotic outside, which hy he had decided not to stir up any trouble and steadily reels standing on guard, outsiders wouldn’t dare enter

If it was possible, Rhode wished to only release thean However, the truth was that, on the evening of the fifth day, the Holy War Cereuilds and Midsummer Festival preparations were completed

All in all, the leaders of various participating guilds would gather and swear their oaths to the most honorable holy war spear They would repeat the six commandments and oaths as mercenaries Then, under the testimony of the holy spirit, they would draw lots to decide on their opponents Rhode, as the leader of Starlight, naturally had to participate

That hy Rhode had to give up his plans and bring Marlene and Lapis along

Rhode didn’t bring Lize along because he knew that, as the center of attention of the whole ‘princess incident’, she would definitely be under scrutiny and ad’s Party’s and Reforh Lydia’s view on her wasn’t worrying, the King’s Party ned, so it would be best to avoid provoking any enemies

That hy he had chosen Marlene and Lapis Golden City could be considered the base camp for the Senia Family, and even the most foolish person wouldn’t dare to start a conflict with the Senia Family’s heir

As for Lapis, Rhode only wished to satisfy her request to roam around the cityDidn’t you want to see Golden City’s sceneries? See to your heart’s content!</eht fell, the Holy War Cerean in the Lily Garden

As the ceremony before the commencement of the Midsummer Festival, the Holy War Cereuild leaders present, but the highest-level authorities of Golden City also attended As for the Mercenary association, as in charge of organising the Midsummer Festival, they had attended too But this was a cererand

“Tsk, boring”

Barter held his cup and looked at the officials and nobles whispering into one another’s ears His eyes revealed some displeasure He didn’t like such lively and hypocritical occasions, not to mention there were even troublesoh to fill his stomach!

Whose idea was it to coh it’s boring… It’s definitely necessary”

Viktor approached hiuild and crusaded the continent had gracefully stripped off his ar, black, for face, he attracted the attention ofnoblewo this time”

“Oh? What do you mean?”

Barter was puzzled Viktor revealed an interesting smile

“Don’t you have any anticipation for how they will allocate our opponents?”

“Ah? This…”

Barter pondered for a ht, this Holy War Ceremony was different from the past!

The previous cere of lots didn’t have much suspense The Purple Lily Guild and Cole Falcon Guild represented the King’s Party and the Sky Sword Guild and Liberty Wings Guild represented the Reforht and as the Midsummer Festival was a festival, the duration of the eliuilds would fight in an elimination style, and a winner would be deteruilds

After sorates for either sides were the same 50/50

But it was different this year Due to Starlight’s appearance, it changed the scene

“Viktor, what’s the difference? With the addition of a sroup, no matter who faces them, won’t it be an easy win?”

Barter understood the reason, but he was unconcerned After all, such things did happen before Hiller’s Burning Blade had once been prouild and he represented Paphield Back then, the Mercenary association ruled that the newly proainst one of the four guilds and one of the guild would be vacant without an opponent After the uild would then battle with the winner for a spot in the finals

Back then, it was so for Hiller’s Burning Blade In the end… They lost terribly in the individual and group match ups Their opponents, Cole Falcon, easily kicked the Blade was indeed a tragedy…

That hy Barter felt that Viktor’s worries were unnecessary Starlight wasn’t even a guild yet, so they didn’t even need to worry about their abilities

However, Viktor seemed to have a different opinion about this His s Barter’s question, he shook his head

“Who knows? Barter, this world is ever changing… Enough said, a good show is co up”

Viktor pointed to the entrance

Barter turned around and spotted a pitch-black chariot painted with an unfa black hair, a beautiful face, and formal men’s attire stepped down fro while everyone turned their attention to him Then, they were stunned

“He’s a man?”

Barter couldn’t believe his eyes At the sahter Hoas this possible? Rhode was no doubt a beauty A beautiful face with delicate facial features that co hair—he looked exactly like a woht formal man’s attire proved that he indeed was a man because no matter how flat a woman’s chest was, it would never be this flat

Rhode noticed the attention he was receiving, but he was mentally prepared Therefore, he maintained his emotionless expression, stood by the side, and extended his hand in a gentlemanly fashi+on
