Chapter 175: Chapter 127: I Advise You Not to Do Anything Foolish
Traveler!
Sunan was slightly taken aback, not expecting to hear the name of Traveler here.
“When did you meet that wizard?” Sunan asked calmly.
Evans hadn’t considered that the person in front of him belonged to the same wizard organization as Traveler. After thinking for a moment, he said: “About three years ago.”
Sunan’s heart stirred.
This timeline coincides perfectly with when Traveler stopped attending gatherings.
Could it really be as the remains had said, that Traveler has already died somewhere in the underground world?
“And after that?” Sunan asked.
Evans shook his head: “I stayed with Traveler for only two days, and then I left the underground world. As for Traveler, before leaving, I heard him say he planned to delve deeper into the underground world. I don’t know what happened after that.”
Sunan was slightly disappointed.
If he knew where Traveler was headed, he would want to meet this wizard apprentice who loves exploring adventures, possibly obtaining much valuable information.
After chatting for a while, inquiring about the information on those three wizards, the two ended the conversation.
“In a few days, the royal family will announce surrender.”
Before leaving, Evans left such a remark.
Outside the tavern, Kei and the Marquis of the White Tower were waiting for news in a nearby building.
Seeing Evans leisurely leaving the tavern, the two couldn’t help but glance at each other in surprise and uncertainty.
When Sunan returned, Kei eagerly asked, “How did it go?”
Sunan briefly recounted the events but didn’t mention the Tower of Starlight, only saying Evans made a trade with him using something very precious.
Upon hearing this, Kei and the Marquis of the White Tower glanced at each other.
They hadn’t expected Evans to come alone and surrender.
This was really surprising to them!
However, they soon felt a bit of joy.
Though confident about winning the war, capturing the Red Leaf Province without bloodshed would undoubtedly be better.
As for leaving a little lineage for the Kessler Clan, that was no problem.
At most, they were just collateral descendants, insignificant.
“Next, we just wait for the movement from the Red Leaf Province.”
Sunan looked towards Starry City, slightly relieved in his heart.
Once this war is over, he can refocus his energy on the underground world.
There are still many things waiting for him to do.
Collecting materials for crafting secret puppets, searching for descendants of ancient exotic beasts, and dealing with Kasham’s crisis.
Going back means just as busy as ever.
…
Starlight Calendar 1254, Month of Dormancy (December).
The Grand Duke of Starry City committed suicide by poison, and numerous royal members announced surrender following him.
The Flashing Army subsequently stationed in Starry City, taking over military and political power.
Thus, this war that attracted countless people’s attention finally concluded.
The Flashing Territory successfully overthrew the duchy’s royal family, capturing the entire Starry Duchy.
The new Grand Duke of Starry City was born.
Cangjin Empire, Holy Flame City.
In the depths of the imperial palace, the study room.
The master of the empire, the Cangjin Emperor, was sitting behind the desk, focused intently on reading the secret report in his hand.
The Scepter was seated across, sipping on fragrant floral tea, somewhat absent-minded, seemingly contemplating something, as though his thoughts were drifting.
After a long time, the Cangjin Emperor put down the secret report, and a trace of sneer flashed across his dignified face.
“Evans Kessler is indeed straightforward, doing nothing and directly surrendering to the rebels, sacrificing nearly all royal members for it. He certainly performed his role as the royal guardian with enough diligence.”
His tone was filled with deep irony.
The Scepter said leisurely: “I think what he did was very right.”
“If Evans had really lost his mind and rushed to a mortal battle with Sunan, he wouldn’t end in anything other than death, and the Starry royal family would eventually be wiped out, with not a single one left.”
“Now at least he preserved a bit of lineage for the Kessler Clan, which is already the best result.”
The Cangjin Emperor frowned, asking gravely: “Is Sunan really that formidable?”
“Very formidable!”
The Scepter replied without hesitation, as if to enhance the credibility of his words, he added another sentence.
“At least I am no match for him.”
The Cangjin Emperor immediately fell silent.
Since he could remember, he had known this wizard before him, aware of how mysterious and powerful he was.
However, for such an incredibly powerful wizard, to honestly admit inferiority to Sunan, escalated his apprehension towards Sunan by several levels.
After being silent for a long while, the Cangjin Emperor suddenly said: “Is there a way to deal with Sunan?”
The Scepter’s face remained calm as he sipped his floral tea, seemingly unsurprised that the Cangjin Emperor would utter such words.
After setting down the teacup, he leisurely replied:
“I advise you not to do anything foolish.”
The Cangjin Emperor frowned: “If you are worried one person can’t handle Sunan, then invite several helpers, like the other wizards from the Forest Cabin.”
“Sunan is also a member of the Forest Cabin.”
“So what? As long as the benefits are sufficient, these people definitely won’t refuse to take action. Aren’t wizards all about practicality and interest above all?”
“That’s true.”
The Scepter was indifferent to the hidden sarcasm in the Cangjin Emperor’s words, instead sincerely agreeing with nods.
But then, he spread his hands.
“The problem is, no amount of profit outweighs the value of life.”
“Honestly, even now I cannot discern the depth of Sunan’s capabilities.”
“After all, the resources he wields are astonishing, no one knows through these years of accumulation and training, what level Sunan’s power has reached, and how many aces he holds.”
