Chapter 1162: Go_2

Then it seems he’s truly boarded a pirate ship.

When the war erupts, Lentax Giant City will undoubtedly be mired in the quagmire of conflict.

Fortunately, the Second Prince has gathered over a dozen giant cities, so he won’t go out of his way to make a fuss over Lentax Giant City.

After a brief conversation, the father and daughter silently agreed to stop talking.

After a while, Marquis Henry spoke again.

“Penny, this time many noble children are participating in the tournament.”

“Among them is the son of Marquis Claire Gordon from Helun Castle in the south, Conrad Gordon, who holds the title of Southern Sky Knight. As a Dragon Owl Knight, he even took the Dragon Owl Knight Squadron to fight alongside the Third and Fifth Legions of the Dragon Descendants at the southern border fort not long ago.”

“There will be many such excellent young people at the tournament.”

“If you find someone suitable, I hope you can find your future husband at the tournament.”

“The storm is coming, and I will protect the Lancaster family!”

Marquis Henry spoke solemnly.

Penny did not say much in response, still gently nodding.

The study plunged back into silence, with only a gentle breeze softly blowing through.

…

In the southern continent, Sapulu Grassland, Golden Unfalling Imperial City.

This is the royal city governed by Prince Ayoub.

On the continent, nearly all human kingdoms establish multiple royal cities to address the problem of reduced royal influence due to the vast territory.

Golden Unfalling Imperial City is situated in the southeast of the Sarand Sultanate, adjacent to the southwest of Avalon.

The Sarand Sultanate also boasts rich geographical environments.

However, in terms of land area, Sarand is primarily composed of flat grasslands and arid gobi.

The gobi is dotted with numerous oases.

Additionally, a large river named Sarand River flows from west to east across the Sarand Sultanate.

It even extends into Avalon’s territory, heading east until it reaches the sea.

Thus, the Sarand River is also the mother river of the Sarand Sultanate.

Golden Unfalling Imperial City is conveniently situated beside the Sarand River.

At this moment, on Prince Ayoub’s shoulder stands a majestic desert eagle.

Holding a parchment with a letter written on it, his expression gradually shifts from calm to anger.

“The Caliph has been completely enchanted by that woman.”

“He hasn’t dealt with the eagle dispatches submitted by various tribes for the past six months.”

“Moreover, it’s unclear where the information leaked from, but all the major princes have started raising The Chosen One, intending to use The Chosen One to navigate through the era transition.”

“And the Caliph does not care at all about this!”

Prince Ayoub furiously shook the parchment in his hand and began pacing anxiously.

The hall was draped in heavy curtains, with iron racks on either side below, each holding a sheep oil lamp as the sole source of light.

At this time, from behind the curtain behind Prince Ayoub, an elderly man with a turban stepped out of the shadows holding a yellowed scroll.

“The current Sultan is indeed outrageous…”

“But I think this may also be related to the era transition.”

“It’s been over thirty years since Hakim succeeded the Caliph from the Old Sultan.”

“He has a calm disposition and is the strongest to have emerged from the Divine Duel.”

“One could say he is the most excellent child of the Old Sultan.”

Hearing these words, Prince Ayoub seemed to recall something, turning around involuntarily.

“Abdullah, my teacher…”

“Are you suggesting that the Caliph has been affected by the Era Curse?”

The elderly man nodded, gently stroking his beard with the other hand.

“Since The Chosen One has already appeared on a large scale, then the prophecy left by the first Sultan is true, the Era Curse will emerge and is not surprising!”

“As for the princes getting news of The Chosen One, that’s not surprising either!”

“As the era is coming to an end, the most vicious curse will descend.”

“The Chosen One will come to the world to unlock the chains of the new era!”

…

Abdullah softly recited.

At this point, Prince Ayoub suddenly realized.

“Teacher, we must do something.”

“We must not let the Era Curse continue to erode the Caliph!”

“I will send someone to kill that woman!”

“I’ll notify right now…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Abdullah’s withered arm reached out and gently patted him.

“Stupid!”

“The people you send will not be able to kill that woman.”

“She is the curse of the era, the shackle of the new era!”

“Only The Chosen One can kill her…”

With these words, Prince Ayoub was stunned in place.

“—Unlock the chains of the new era…”

“Abdullah, my teacher, I understand!”

“Recently, the Chosen One has become increasingly greedy.”

“The soldiers sent to her have been corrupted, gradually losing their loyalty.”

“If it weren’t for the Soul Contract, I’m afraid those warriors would have completely defected to her.”

“The Chosen One is indeed terrifying!”

“I will give her instructions now to escort her to Amu Khan Imperial City to assassinate the woman who has enchanted the Caliph!”

Abdullah merely nodded gently at Prince Ayoub’s words, then added.

“I’m afraid that Chosen One doesn’t have the strength to bear such a heavy task.”

“Perhaps you should select a new Child of Fate.”

“This matter is extremely significant, a slight mistake could provoke Hakim’s fury.”

“Therefore, if it is to be done, it must ensure success!”

“Well, three months!”
