Chapter 300

The Earth Knight's defensive capabilities were truly impressive. Although 'Shally' held back, Sesia withstood several blows head-on without falling. As they approached the city gate, they saw a figure rushing towards them from afar.

Sesia had initially assumed it was someone from the Ring of Abundance within Port of Misi, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Ryan.

"Rider Ryder, run!"

She shouted anxiously.

'Shally' unleashed a crescent-shaped Bloodlight from a distance, sending her flying.

Ryan caught him mid-air and landed safely.

Sesia's blood surged, his Magic Power waned, and his face turned deathly pale.

"Rider Ryder, what are you doing here? That woman is too strong. I'll hold her off, you run!"

Ryan's lips twitched slightly. He thought to himself, "So now you know to run? Where were you before? Trying to assassinate me? How could you even think of that?"

"You said it yourself, she's too strong. If you can't escape, how can I? Sigh, I just came to check on you since you haven't gone back yet, and I never expected to hit the jackpot." Ryan said, shielding Sesia behind him.

'Shally' landed gracefully, glanced indifferently at Sesia behind Ryan, planted her greatsword on the ground, and said nothing.

"General..." Ryan coughed lightly, "This is all a misunderstanding. My friend did not mean to offend you. Please forgive him."

"No offense intended." 'Shally' sneered. "That was clearly aimed at me, obviously intentional, and you say it was accidental?"

"It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding." Ryan chuckled awkwardly. "My friend here has some connection with the Blood Cult, so... But I can tell that you, General, are definitely not one of those despicable people from the Blood Cult. You look imposing and charismatic, with the air of a great general!"

After saying that, he whispered, "She doesn't seem to recognize you."

Sesia was taken aback. It seemed that 'Shally' didn't recognize her... Was Rider Ryder planning to get away with it? But was it that easy?

"General, you see you're locked in a fierce battle with the Ring of Abundance, while we've only had a misunderstanding. It's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester. How about I apologize to you and you let us go?"

"An apology?" 'Shally' clicked her tongue. "How will you apologize?"

"I have a seventh-tier offensive Magic Scrolls here, that should be enough, right?" Ryan took the Magic Scrolls out of his backpack.

Sesia exclaimed in surprise, "Rider, that was given to you by His Your Majesty!"

"What can we do? She doesn't care about anything else. Her strength is comparable to a seventh-tier cultivator. This scroll is no match for her."

"But..."

"Stop talking. You can earn back what you lose, but losing your life would be a much bigger loss. Come with me; I have to protect you."

Sesia: "..."

She should be the one protecting Ryan.

Sesia regretted it; she had indeed been too impulsive. She hadn't expected Shally to have such a trump card, possessing combat power comparable to a seventh-tier transcendent despite only being at the Sixth Tier level.

"Not enough," 'Shally' scoffed. "This stuff is far from enough."

Ryan was taken aback, thinking, "Shally, why aren't you playing by the rules? We agreed it was just a formality."

Oh well, it's just a matter of putting things in one pocket and leaving them in the other. Just as Ryan was about to continue rummaging through his pockets, Sesia pulled out her own storage bag.

"This contains all the relics I've collected, a large amount of alchemical materials, and gold coins."

After saying that, she took everything out and laid it on the ground.

Ryan glanced at it and thought, well, these things were indeed a fortune for an ordinary Supernatural Being, but for an Earth Knight was about to advance to the seventh rank, they were rather meager.

"That's still not enough." 'Shally' raised her chin. "There are also your belongings."

Sesia paused for a moment, then took off the necklace and bracelet.

"And weapons," 'Shally' said.

"Hey, hey, hey, that's going too far," Ryan stepped in to speak up. "Forget about the other relics, weapons are only relevant to the characteristics of Supernatural Being. Giving them to you wouldn't be very meaningful. The ones you have are much better than hers, aren't they?"

"Rider Ryder." Sesia shook her head slightly. Anyway, she had given him everything else; saving her life was the most important thing right now.

"Heh~ Never mind." 'Shally' glanced at them coldly, packed up her things, and said, "Get lost, and don't let me see you again."

"Fine, I'll get out then."

Damn it, Shally, you just wait, I'll beat you to a pulp tonight!

Ryan quickly led Sesia toward the city.

"Rider Ryder, it's all my fault." Sesia said with a face full of self-reproach, "If I hadn't been thinking of killing her, you wouldn't have lost a Magic Scrolls for nothing."

"I told you, Magic Scrolls and such are just external things, you can't take them with you when you die, they're not as important as your life." Ryan smiled. "At least we didn't lose those things for nothing. That woman clearly doesn't recognize us, maybe we'll have a chance to meet again later, let's see what the Holy Blood Army is up to."

"No, that's too dangerous. Shally's strength is comparable to a seventh-tier cultivator; we're no match for her."

"Isn't my brother-in-law here too? He's also a seventh-tier... Just watch, I'll make that Shally pay double for the humiliation she suffered today." Hmm, pay in bed... Ryan added in his mind.

"Mr. Jonathan?"

Sesia nodded slightly; the other party was also at the seventh rank.

That being said...

She felt that Shally was too strange; she had clearly not used her full strength just now, and might not even be a match for an ordinary seventh-level opponent.

"Sigh, if only I could reach the seventh rank," Sesia sighed softly. "His Your Majesty sent me here to protect Rider Ryder, but I never expected to be the one being protected by you. I am truly ashamed."

"Don't say that. It's only right to look out for each other when we're out and about." Ryan stroked his chin. "But breaking through to the seventh rank... well, I don't know if that method will even work."

"Rider Ryder, you have a plan?" Sesia asked, delighted. "What plan?"

"Uh, this method is a bit inconvenient, let's forget about it."

"Rider Ryder, I beg you to tell me!" Sesia said in a deep voice, "I'll do anything you ask, as long as I can reach the seventh rank!"

"There's really no need for that," Ryan said hesitantly. "The main thing is, I'm not entirely sure if it will work, and this method is a bit special and not suitable for everyone. You might need to pay something in return."

Sesia firmly replied, "I am not afraid of any difficulties. I am Her Your Majesty's guardian knight, and naturally, I am also Rider's guardian knight when I am out in the world. Just tell me what to do, and I will do my best!"

"Real?"

"Real!"

"No regrets?"

"I will never regret it!"

"Alright, come to my room tonight."

"???"

"Your Majesty Kachia and Kachina, I have arrived in the Southern Continent with Prince Rider and am currently located in the Port of Misi on the coast of the Kingdom of Loente..."

"... Regarding the Holy Blood Army, I humbly request Your Majesty's decision. Shally is incredibly powerful, far beyond my capabilities. In order to eliminate this major threat to the Empire, I intend to join forces with Prince Rider in cultivation. I hope Your Majesty will grant my request."

Night falls.

In the room.

Sesia put down her pen, sent the letter out through magic, and then let out a soft breath.

Ryan has already told her the method to improve her strength. The success rate is not guaranteed, but it is a fact that her strength will improve in the future, and the Geminis can testify to this.

So Sesia was tempted.

Firstly, as the commander of the Watcher Legion, she had never been able to break through to the seventh rank. There were always discordant voices within the empire. Her ability to control the legion was largely due to the trust of the Twin Empress.

Secondly, she encountered the Holy Blood Army during this trip to the Southern Continent, and she now needs strength to resolve the empire's crisis.

Secondly, she grew up as the guardian knight of the Gemini Empress, which in a sense is similar to being a dowry maid. She will never be able to leave the Gemini Empress, so this is fine. In any case, Sesia didn't intend to have any official title.

In the end, she thought Ryan was pretty good.

Yes, she's a good person, kind-hearted, and charming.

"I wonder if His Your Majesty will agree. If not, then I will..."

Sesia looked out the window at the starry night sky; the stars were dazzling and the moonlight was beautiful.

On the other side.

Inside a room in the castle.

Jonathan was naked, leaning against the bed with his right arm around a beautiful blonde woman, a cigarette dangling from his lips as he took a deep drag.

He took the cigarette out of his hand, exhaled the smoke gently, and turned to look out the window, thinking that the moonlight was quite beautiful.

Above the mist.

Inside a room in the palace.

Ryan slapped down, and a crisp 'smack' echoed through the mist.

"Shally, get up right now!"

Happy Qixi Festival! Hehehehehehe~

Chapter 185 Adele, the Elegant Little Lolita

Days.

Inside the Port of Misi Hotel.

"Have you heard? The people from the Ring of Abundance sent troops last night, but they were all wiped out by the Blood Cult's group!"

"I've heard about it too. The Ring of Abundance had nearly three thousand people, right? And so many Supernatural Being, and yet they were all wiped out!"

"Really? When did those lunatics from the Blood Cult become so strong?"

"This has been planned for a long time. The Kingdom of Oen appears peaceful on the surface, but who would have thought they would suddenly attack? I just don't know when those people will attack the city. If they break in... hiss~ with the Blood Cult's character, there will probably be rivers of blood."

"Let's go, let's go, we can't stay in Port of Misi."

As Ryan walked downstairs, he heard a group of people leaving the lobby one after another, looking no better than those fleeing a disaster.

If yesterday everyone still held a sliver of hope for the defense of Port of Misi, then after the defeat of the Ring of Abundance last night, the entire dock was filled with ships all night long; every ship capable of carrying people across the sea was hired.

However, there were too few boats and too many people, and only the wealthy were on board. The ordinary people at the bottom of society couldn't afford to hire boats, so they could only close their eyes and pray to the Earth Goddess for help.

"Mmm~ That feels good."

Ryan walked outside the hotel and stretched towards the sun.

I feel so refreshed!

Last night, I had a long-awaited in-depth conversation with 'Shally'. I haven't seen my Second Wife in a while, and I really miss her.

Hmph, how dare you, Shirley the Shally, defy me! I'll bend over and make you roll your eyes!

However, while the idea was good, reality was cruel. As it turned out, after obtaining the name of the Holy Blood Angel, 'Shally's' strength increased by leaps and bounds. She was no match for ordinary seventh-tier beings, and her attributes in all aspects improved dramatically.

They couldn't defeat the Blood Knight even after a whole night.

However, there's plenty of time in the future.

When his strength improves further in the future, he will take on ten of them!

While pondering.

A figure appeared in the alley across the street.

Jonathan leaned against the wall, his black trench coat covering most of his body. He was lighting a cigarette, then took a drag and exhaled, glancing at Ryan.

Ryan walked quickly over and followed him into the alley.

"How did it go?" Ryan asked impatiently.

"I'm sorry."

Old Joe puffed on his cigarette, his deep gray gaze somewhat distant.

"It failed?"

"Sorry for the late call. I had already settled things last night, but that woman wouldn't let me leave, and I couldn't get away. I only came to find you this morning because she was busy with official business."

Ryan: "???"

No, Old Joe, what did you say? I didn't hear you clearly, could you say it again?
