Parking fee
In that instant, a crack appeared on the Bluestone Slabs pavement of the street, Spread for hundreds of meters, starting from the feet of the Judgment Knight and Spread in all directions.
The force that rebounded from beneath the feet of the Judgment Knight was carried by his suddenly raised arm, surging with pure killing intent. In that instant, the air was compressed into a wave, the Diffusion of which could shatter the glass of the entire street!
In the next instant, Su Luo's figure flickered slightly, her speed surpassing the visual perception of everyone around her, including the [Knight] level Awakened, allowing her to dodge the Judgment Knight's attack.
As Su Luo slowly advanced, two Judgment Knights collapsed behind her.
Su Luo didn't look back. He walked to the carriage, opened the door, and got in.
On an unfathomable spiritual level, a terrifying vortex suddenly exploded, with countless tentacles extending and a suction force Spread, sweeping in the souls of the onlookers and Researchers on the surrounding street, turning them into resources for the reconstruction of their souls.
As the carriage moved, Su Luo headed out of the Imperial Capital. Within 500 meters of her, only the two accompanying Steam Knights could move; the souls of almost all living beings had been swept away.
Like a moving natural disaster, a demon devouring souls is ravaging the world.
As she was about to leave the Imperial Capital, Su Luo took out a clever little gadget, dialed Mu Hongyuan's number.
I finally got this thing working in the last couple of days.
"[The Fairy Tale Writer]'s third Fairy Tale has taken effect, rendering the academic path ineffective. How's the progress on your end?"
"Good, contact has been completed."
"Good."
Su Luo hung up the phone. The black umbrella swept across, cutting open the roof of the carriage and revealing a burst of sunlight.
The umbrella was opened and stretched out through the skylight. The umbrella surface billowed into a full arc in the wind. The carriage continued to move, and the black umbrella looked like a moving mushroom under the gray sky.
Su Luo looked through the gap in the cut roof and saw the inexplicably Berserk clouds above the Empire, like a pot of boiling water.
A terrifying aura burst forth. Nothing in the real world could slow it down; rocks and metal were as soft as air as it passed by buildings, bricks bulging out of walls and then retracting.
It's not a method, just pure numerical data: the air shockwaves generated during ultra-high-speed movement push away surrounding matter like water.
An Awakened One of [Bishop] rank, from the Tribunal.
Even though they had tried their best to avoid the [Bishop's] whereabouts and chose this time, there were still some powerful figures stationed there.
Water vapor in the air was compressed and condensed by the shockwaves from the Awakened' movement, and then fell from the sky.
One drop, two drops, and then countless drops.
A storm is coming.
Su Luo raised the black umbrella higher, letting it cover her head and shoulders, and then waited for his arrival.
The [Bishop]'s pursuit is actually the safest, as it can make many Survivors give up the idea of intercepting, preventing them from being ambushed by too many Survivors on the way.
"Thank you in advance for giving me a ride."
The words, along with the blood and flames, vanished in the rain.
"Dear Mrs. Hanberg, would you do me the honor of attending tonight's banquet? Everyone will be amazed by your beauty."
A gentleman in a formal suit stood very politely beneath Mu Hongyuan's carriage, his posture impeccable, back straight, right arm slightly bent, and white gloves spotless, as he offered to help her down.
Mu Hongyuan didn't look at him. He gently placed his hand on the carriage window frame, the outline of his profile vaguely visible beneath the black veil. He replied indifferently, "No need."
I have other things to do tonight, and this guy is still too much of an eyesore; I don't want him to get in the way of my plans.
Count Sam's expression stiffened for a moment, but when he saw Mu Hongyuan's peerless face half-hidden beneath his black veil, all his annoyance and embarrassment vanished.
The lower half of his face looked as if it had been drawn stroke by stroke with the most exquisite brush on the purest canvas, every turn perfectly executed, without a single superfluous line.
"I'm sorry to bother you, beautiful lady, but am I perhaps worthy to know about your family background?"
Count Sam, one of the few Awakened [Judgment Knight] level beings in this area, and also an earl recognized by the empire, had never seen this lady whose beauty was so captivating that the world would fall for her.
This Mrs. Hanberg, I heard, grew up in an old castle outside the town, living a secluded life, then went to the Imperial Capital, only returning to her hometown a few months ago to take over the family affairs. She is also a powerful Awakened herself. I wonder if she has reached the level of Judgment Knight.
He hadn't noticed this powerful and stunningly beautiful woman before; while others in the city had heard of her name, very few had actually seen her.
Some say she is a widow whose husband died in the Calamity Tide on the imperial border; some say she is the daughter of a duke who married into the capital to escape Imperial Capital power struggles; some say she is an Awakened being, whose strength is no less than that of Judgment Knight...
Rumors circulated like the wind throughout the town.
Mu Hongyuan turned slightly to the inside of the carriage, only showing half of her face to Count Sam, with most of her face still covered by a veil. Even so, Count Sam's eyes were fixed on her as if glued to her.
"The widow has a child."
Mu Hongyuan had already tried his best to reduce his charm and was impatiently shooing the guy away.
Given her current strength, this level of charm wouldn't affect the mind and judgment of a [Judgment Knight] at all; this guy is just purely lustful.
Count Sam's eyes widened slightly, somewhat incredulous, and a surge of anger rose within him, as if a Fairy had been defiled.
The tree-lined path you long for is actually already covered in frost.
"A child?! How old are you? How come you have a child?"
"What's it to you?"
After finishing speaking, Mu Hongyuan got out of the car and left.
Count Sam's eyes flickered as he looked around. In an instant, he knelt on one knee and loudly proclaimed:
"No, Mrs. Hanberg, I am truly sincere towards you. I am willing to give up my current title and marry into your Hanberg family!"
Watching Mu Hongyuan walk slowly away, Count Sam gritted his teeth again:
"I know you're worried because of the child! How about this: I'll take your child's surname and raise him as my own!"
"Or that might not be enough, I can have my father take your child's surname!"
