Chapter 139 (2/2)
Patriach, Lin Weihao, was a very prominent man in the high court of that Grand Duchy. It was said that Lin Muxue even studied in the Magic Academy. It meant that he could meet Mu Han over there too. Mu Lee asked Xiao Yu to bring few things to Mu Han. Xiao Yu prepared a lot of gifts to little lolita too.
Afterwards, under the urges of different people he embarked on the road to Shire city.
Xiao Yu was using the luxurious carriage which was pulled by 8 pegasus horses. There were 50 grunts, 50 hunters, 100 footmen with him on the trip. He took Grom, Tyrande, Antonidas in addition to Leah and dragon baby.
Dragon baby had grown a lot during these past few months. It was the size of an adult wolf. However, it could change its size to become as big as a puppy to sleep in Leah’s arms. It’s strength increased as it grow bigger. Xiao Yu didn’t want to be a greenhouse flower so he had trained the dragon a lot. He actually had built a small playground where he would throw the beasts that were caught to fight with the dragon. Sometimes he would even had dragon fight against few of them.
He had healing potions so he wasn’t afraid of dragon being killed. He would just use it to cover the injuries of the dragon and let it quickly recover. Afterwards, he would throw it to fight again. Leah and Xiao Yu had arguments about this several times. However, Xiao Yu told her that he didn’t want a pet but a real dragon!
The dragon’s strength increased a lot through the brutal training. Right now, a second-rank beast wasn’t its opponent. Xiao Yu was satisfied with the results too. Otherwise, why it was called a dragon?
After the departure, Xiao Yu still did nothing but played chess with Leah or Tyrande. The days were very comfortable.
However, at first night several assassins came over to kill Xiao Yu. The hunters had found them in advance so Xiao Yu sent grunts to kill them. All the fifty grunts were at level 10 so they were equal to second-rank warriors in strength. Normal assassins weren’t their opponents.
After the last battle in the Eagle camp more than 80 grunts had reached level 10. Half of the archers had reached level 10 to. But it was difficult to break through to level 11. Once they break through those shackles they would become heroes if not then they would stay at level 10 for long time.
Xiao Yu tortured and interrogated the assassins that were caught. However, all they said that they were paid by the assassin’s guild and they didn’t know who had hired them. Even without interrogations Xiao Yu could guess who had sent those assassins. His enemies were limited for now. It could be either Carrie, Subaru or Grand Duke Simm…
Nevertheless, Xiao Yu wasn’t afraid of anything. He had so many powerful bodyguards and three heroes with him. He didn’t care unless the enemy sent a very strong assassin or warrior.
After the last battle in the Eagle camp Xiao Yu had reached level 16. He allocated 4 points to Shield of the Templar, Teleportation, Heroic Leap and Wind Walk. In addition to Xiao Yu, Grom had reached level 18, Tyrande also reached level 18. Antonidas was on level 19 after the last battle. Xiao Yu had respectively added skill points to Wind Walk, Rapid Fire, and Teleportation.
Leah’s strength continuous improved too. She had killed several bandit leaders in the last battle.
Moreover, Xiao Yu was bringing 50 improved ballistas with him. Even a fourth-rank warrior wasn’t a threat to them.
“Let’s go.” Xiao Yu waved after the dawn for them to continue the trip. Xiao Yu wouldn’t have aimed for hegemony but went back to his home if few assassins scared him.
