450 Hero Part 2 (2/2)

”Him?” Although the two swordsmen were surprised, they carried out Lex's order thoroughly.

Wild Bear was two meters tall and he was riding on a magic beast that was rarely seen. On the back of the magic beast, there was a huge bump just like a camel. Its hooves were much bigger and it had horns on its head. Its canine teeth were extended outside of its mouth, it did not look like one with good temperament.

Wild Bear was the cook that Lex asked for from Holy Rock City in West Town. His talent in fighting was extremely high, so Lex brought him back and got someone to teach him swordcraft. After a few years time, he was almost becoming a swordsmaster.

Wild Bear was a simple and honest man. The people from Bitter Water Prefecture liked him, but Lex was afraid that he was cheated. She kept him in the prefect residence all this while. This time she brought him along to let him have more real battle experience.

The swordsmen found Wild Bear and told him Lex's demand. Wild Bear patted his chest and said, ”Don't worry. If I run into that scoundrel again, I will thump him to death in one hit with my hammer!”

The swordsman heard Wild Bear's answer and quivered. He fought with Wild Bear before once. Contact with that hammer of his made a weapon either break or fly out of one's hand. Sword aura that was trained with much effort was useless before Wild Bear.

When such an honest person set their mind on something, it would be extremely difficult to change their mind. Even if the gang had any plans, with Wild Bear's existence, the only way was to win against him first.

Wild Bear was riding on the magic beast and got to the furthest front of the troop. Jola seized the chance to urge his warhorse and followed him.

Wild Bear was extremely strong in learning to fight, but he could only speak the Qin language and the common language. In Titan Duchy most of them spoke the Titan language and the Cloudflow language. Sometimes there would be the Sikeqinya language, but the Qin language was rarely heard. The Common language was only spoken during business. Jola knew many languages, he followed Wild Bear as he was afraid that he would run into a language that he didn't know.

”Where did you find Jola from?” Lex suddenly asked.

”I picked him up along the way. Why?” Saleen did not introduce Jola to Lex in details.

There was doubt in Lex's eyes when she spoke, ”His eyes change color, did you notice that?”

”What's wrong with that?”

”That's a characteristic of Cloudflow royalty. Did you know that?”

”Mm?” Saleen pricked up his ears. He of course did not know about that characteristic. He otherwise would have asked Jola long ago. Jola must be hiding something from him.

”The Qin royals that practice the royal secret arts, their eyes would have two colors; gold and blue. It exposed the attributes of the secret arts completely. The Cloudflow royal family has secret arts too. Their secret arts would make their eyes change color too. The higher the level, the more colors it changes. At most, there would be seven. I saw at least five colors in Jola's eyes.”

So called secret arts was referring to unique practice methods for magic and sword aura. These skills were passed down in the ancient families, definitely not for dissemination. One must be in the direct line of descend to be able to inherit them.

There were very little direct line of descendants in the Grukos royal family. Only followers of Lex and Safilos could impart. Due to Lex's practice of secret arts, she seemed cool since she was young until she had some result from secret arts. After that she felt closer to the normal people.

”Master, I think Jola might really have impregnated the princess of Cloudflow!” Nailisi was suddenly excited.

Lex heard what Nailisi said and started questioning closely, she then found out how Jola knew Saleen.

”That could be understood. A princess that could inherit secret arts in cloudflow, must be some important figure. Jola was chased after, it might not be because he did that, but might be because the princess exposed the practice method of secret arts to him. Saleen, what do you think?”

Saleen closed his eyes and said, ”It's okay. I believe in him.”

Jola was following next to Wild Bear and he suddenly tensed. Just now, there was a swift and fierce aura that locked him down and was ready to attack him anytime. He couldn't find the origin of the aura!

The person that locked him down was close to the standard of a Golden Grand Swordmaster!

Hair all over Jola's body stood on end and he nearly drew his sword. He did not know who wanted to attack him, but the aura suddenly disappeared and it was hard to find again. Jola turned around and saw Saleen's carriage was following close behind without any movement.

That made him feel safer. Him following Saleen might be the best choice. He had never been any big figure. To be able to live better, he had to sacrifice.

”Mm, if you believe in him, I shall let him go then.” Lex smiled faintly and did not bring anything up about Jola again.

”You Highness, don't let him go. Jola is a very lustful person. He peeped at me when I showered,” Nailisi incited by the side.

”Lex, ignore her.” Saleen saw that Lex raised her eyebrows and he knew that was bad. According to Lex's character, she hated such unrestrained actions the most.
