1004 Information 2 (2/2)
The Scarlet Snow Sect had many kingdoms as their subordinates. One of them was the Merci Kingdom that was ranked at a position that was above average. This kingdom possessed a somewhat impressive national power and had a lot of inside information. If he were to use them as support or backing, it would definitely be beneficial to him.
”Then what will I have to give in return?” asked Garen while smiling.
”The King's youngest daughter, Her Highness Princess Simone, has admired you for a long time. Perhaps we could take it one step further by strengthening and tightening our relations…” Aine smiled faintly and whispered.
Another marriage alliance.
Garen was helpless. The princesses in the royal families were merely tools for marriage alliances. Moreover, he did not know the total number of princesses within the royal families. However, he knew that actions like these to issue marriage alliances everywhere and entice powerful elites to strengthen the bloodline and genetics were not something uncommon.
When she saw that Garen was speechless, a strange luster flashed in Aine's eyes.
”I heard that Werder had recently broken through Grade Ten of the Scarlet Snow Technique and had undergone a significant increase in power. Of course, I'm sure that Peak Master Garen has already received word about this. However, I have a piece of information here that may interest you. Take it as an additional gift for our collaboration this time.”
Aine raised her hand and turned the white jade bracelet on her wrist briefly.
Suddenly, an invisible electric wave was transmitted into Garen's Energy Machine Imprint.
Garen used his Energy Machine Imprint to decipher it quickly. The Energy Machine Imprints of every Energy Machinist were equivalent to a portable high-performance computer. Hence, he was naturally unfazed by something like this.
After deciphering it quickly following the decoding method that was provided by Aine, he received a series of information and messages regarding Werder.
'Prince Regent Werder: His real name is Cheswerder and he is one hundred and twenty-eight years old. Currently possesses Grade Ten of the Scarlet Snow Technique. The remaining information will be discussed briefly. Latest information: Other than practicing the Scarlet Snow Technique on his own, Werder has additionally practiced a mysterious technique known as the Ice Cicada. This technique can temporarily increase the abilities of the Scarlet Snow Technique. Its explosive powers are not known in detail.'
The remaining information below includes a video of the combat between Werder and other individuals previously.
Garen furrowed his eyebrows and scanned it quickly.
Needless to say, he had merely regarded this fellow as one of the assistants or attendants at the March's side. He had never expected to see that this person had concealed something so deeply. The frequency of his attacks during hand-to-hand combat was extremely high and he seemed to be victorious every time. Moreover, it always seemed as though he was only fighting in the beginning because the fight would be suddenly finished later in the blink of an eye.
”According to our investigations, we've discovered that Werder is definitely hiding an extremely powerful and explosive ability. Of course, everyone has their own hidden abilities, depending on whether they're strong or weak. However, we were lucky enough to find some information regarding the Ice Cicada technique that Werder is practicing.” Aine continued, ”The Ice Cicada Technique is modeled after a fatal move by Mech Pilot powerhouses. He can release an icy sharp flying insect-like Ice Cicada instantly. This Ice Cicada has a body that is completely solid and moves at a rapid speed. Moreover, it's extremely sharp and can even pierce through first-rate armor instantly. The specific details depend on the degree of the Ice Cicada's nurturing.”
”The Ice Cicada is something that is nurtured within his body?” asked Garen.
”Yes, so you need to be careful not to approach him during battle,” nodded Aine.
Garen was speechless. He had just broken through the Blood Eagle state, but whether the Blood Eagle state or the Ice Cicada technique will prevail... It would be revealed when the right time came.
********************
A month's time had passed fleetingly.
The date of the decisive battle between Garen and Werder finally arrived.
The decisive battles of those in the Two Hearted grade were unlike those of the One Hearted grade. It was usually the One Hearted grades who would get on the platform and solve their disputes; it was extremely rare for Two Hearted members to be truly willing to go up and fight.
After all, most Two Hearted Energy Machinists were either Level Three or Level Four and were considered somewhat impressive elites within the entire Energy Machinist world. Coupled with their origins from a major sect, these individuals would be treated more highly than the average Energy Machinist when they went out. Moreover, they would be able to blend in well no matter where they went. It would be enough for them to rest well in their old age for the rest of their lives after they reached a standstill. Therefore, no one was willing to go up on the platform and fight a decisive battle with others.
On the gigantic Decisive Battle Platform here, a white, cylindrical light screen was projected downward in the center of the snow-white battle platform, forming an independent area in the center of the platform.
At noon, many people had arrived at the previously empty audience seats in advance. There were numerous people who had come out to watch the battle at the base that had been always deserted as well.
Throughout the years, there had only been one or two Two Hearted decisive battles, making this a rare opportunity. A good deal of One Hearted Energy Machinists arrived at the scene continuously and occupied the good places to spectate the fight.
The seats for the audience were unusually packed. The places that could seat more than a thousand people were fully packed with Energy Machinists and their friends and relatives.
Fortunately, the Energy Machinists, who had always preferred quietness, were not overly rowdy. Most of them were merely discussing the entire process of the decisive battle in hushed voices.
March and his group of people walked up slowly to the seats that were exclusively reserved for them. They sat down on the seats indifferently and closed their eyes to rest.
The Decisive Battle Platform permitted wounds, disabilities, and even fatalities. It was a good place within the sect to resolve issues.
Werder and Yiling sat beside March respectively and scanned the entire area now. A hint of a smile appeared on Werder's face.
”What a coincidence that I was able to borrow this opportunity to display Moonshine's powers and to propagate it for once. It's unfortunate that the few Two Hearted people decided not to come.”
March shook his head.
”It's just a decisive battle between a few junior members... of course, they would never come. Once you've finished fighting in a little while, challenge Beehive directly and test his basic skills.”
