"I like your answer. Protection is a powerful force that makes you fearless in the face of all difficulties, and it also unleashes your full potential, making you even stronger. So, young king, you don't need to bow your head, because it's a reason to be proud. In my opinion, you are incredibly lucky to have a girl who even Goddess can't compare to. You must protect her well!"
After saying that, Sun Fei turned and left amidst a loud laugh.
"My lord, may I know your name? My lord, from this day forward, whatever your command, the Kingdom of Byzantium will be willing to Charge for you..." The young king, seeing this, hurriedly asked.
Sun Fei strode away without looking back. "Hahaha, King of Byzantium, if you're so inclined, you'll soon find out who I am."
Wherever Sun Fei went, the crowd parted to make way.
At this moment, the sympathy and pity in the eyes of the surrounding crowd looking at the young Byzantium king had vanished, replaced by naked envy and jealousy. None of them had expected that things would turn out this dramatically. This unfortunate fellow not only survived but also gained several times his original strength and befriended such a terrifyingly powerful expert. It was simply a stroke of luck from heaven. In an instant, everyone wished they could be the young Byzantium king and have the opportunity to befriend the incredibly powerful expert standing before them.
However, at that moment, Sun Fei suddenly stopped.
He turned abruptly, looked at the plump middle-aged man, Aike, dressed in a purple official robe, frowned, and suddenly asked, "Are you a messenger from Kingdom of Byzantium?"
The fat man in purple robes was overjoyed to see a master speak to him, and immediately replied with a fawning smile, "Yes, sir, I am... my name is..."
Bang!
At a distance of more than 20 meters, Sun Fei suddenly threw a punch from mid-air.
With a muffled thud, the Bootlicker, power-hungry sycophant's head was instantly smashed into a rotten watermelon.
A gasp of surprise rippled through the crowd.
Sun Fei disliked this person.
This fat man, whose demeanor shifted like a customer pulling up his pants, easily reminded Sun Fei of Bazel, the ambitious and power-hungry messenger from Chambord. Moreover, judging from his recent actions, this fat man was by no means a benevolent figure in Kingdom of Byzantium. Killing this power-hungry and treacherous minister might actually help the young king.
Having done all this, amidst loud laughter, his clothes fluttering and his black cloak dancing in the wind, Sun Fei's figure flashed with each step, disappearing at an extremely fast speed into the vast night and the swirling snow.
In the Kingdom of Byzantium, only corpses remained, along with a group of people standing there dumbfounded.
After leaving the Byzantium Barracks, Sun Fei lost interest in exploring further. He quickly found his way back to the Chambord camp.
By this time, the night was deep, and the crowd gathered around the camp finally dispersed. Thick, silvery-white snow covered the world, creating a pristine white landscape. The clamor of the twenty-mile camp gradually subsided, leaving only a rare tranquility in the icy world. In four days, the Imperial Martial Combat Competition would officially begin. This heavy snow and this tranquility seemed more like a final respite before the impending carnage and carnage.
Inside the camp, Urban Management and Saint were still cultivating in the snow. Sun Fei didn't bother to greet them and went straight to the central magic tent. He lifted the tent flap and entered. Inside, it was warm as spring. The hollowed-out crystal magic element lamps illuminated the entire tent in every detail. The silver light warmed people's hearts and made them feel peaceful and serene.
" Alexander, you're back." Angela, who was embroidering something by the lamp, smiled with delight when she saw Sun Fei enter. She gracefully approached, took the snow-covered cloak from Sun Fei, and neatly hung it on the coat rack by the door. Like a gentle and considerate wife, she brushed the dust off Sun Fei and instructed the Loli little girl Jima, to bring a cup of hot soup that had been prepared beforehand.
Sun Fei felt the taste of happiness.
"Oh, right, come and see, I've prepared some fun gifts for you two." Sun Fei said, taking out all the trinkets he had bought from the camp stalls from his storage ring and arranging them on the table.
"Wow, what a beautiful fur coat! And this crystal mask is nice too. Thank you, Alexander!"
Angela and Jima, still young at heart, didn't appreciate the expensive gifts. They were just fun and unusual trinkets, their appeal lying in their novelty. Moreover, Sun Fei had carefully selected them for them. The two girls cheered with delight upon seeing the gifts.
"Huh, what's this? It's so strange!"
Angela suddenly exclaimed, took out a small, oval-shaped pebble shaped like a pineapple from the pile of small gifts, held it in her hands and rubbed it, her face showing an unusually surprised expression, as if she had discovered some treasure.
"Ha, there are two more here!" Loli Jima also noticed them. Her delicate little nose, slightly freckled, paused for a moment, observed for a while, and said somewhat dejectedly, "But they don't seem to be anything special. They look like two weathered, useless hard stone eggs!"
Sun Fei was a little embarrassed, thinking to himself, "You little brat, you're too blunt." He also secretly regretted not paying attention earlier and accidentally taking out the few pieces of counterfeit God and Demon Ruins that he had obtained from that mysterious old swindler from his storage ring.
"No, this stone... it seems to be alive. I can feel it." Angela carefully held the oval stone egg to her fair, delicate ear and listened intently. But she quickly frowned again. "Strange, I could clearly feel something calling out from inside, but when I got closer, that feeling disappeared."
"Never mind, Angela, we can study them later. If you like them, you can keep these three stone eggs!" Angela's behavior made Sun Fei feel that there might really be some secret hidden in the stone eggs. The white-haired, toothless old man in the market also gave off the feeling of a hermit master like Hong Qigong, who lived a carefree life and whose true nature was rarely seen. Maybe these three stone eggs were really destined for his beautiful fiancée, who had an unparalleled affinity for plants and animals.
"Thank you, Alexander!" Angela was delighted with the gift. She found a delicate, soft, fire-insulated magic box and carefully placed the three pineapple-shaped stone eggs inside for safekeeping.
"Oh, right. Your Majesty, after you left the camp, many nobles and dignitaries from the capital came to visit with gifts. Since you haven't returned, they left their gifts and departed." The blonde Loli, Jima, seemed to remember something and pulled back a magical screen on the right side of the tent. Behind it, a small mountain of various valuable gifts was piled up, including exquisite magical armor, powerful magical swords, three- or four- Star Class Dou Qi manuals and magic notes in precious boxes, and many other valuable gifts.
"These people do know how to cater to people's tastes. If I were still the penniless King of Chambord, I would indeed be tempted by these armors and weapons..." Sun Fei stroked his chin.
He suddenly remembered the prediction made by Harry Redknapp, one of the directors of the Soros Chamber of Commerce. After the battle of Twin Tower Peaks, Sun Fei would become famous in the capital, and many forces would come to recruit him. Sun Fei originally thought that after he was challenged by the Seventh Judgment Knight, these people might stop and wait and see, but he did not expect that some forces would start to make 'early investments'.
"Hehe, Your Majesty, someone also sent a few gifts. I'm sure you'll like them." The blonde little Loli winked, her expression full of teasing.
"Oh?" Sun Fei was intrigued by the little girl's expression.
The little Loli turned and left the tent. After a while, she lifted the curtain and came in, followed by four beautiful and graceful young women. They were all dressed in tight-fitting white gauze robes that accentuated their curves. Their arms, as smooth as jade, were adorned with delicate gold snake-shaped armbands. Each girl had clearly been meticulously groomed by a master. Their charming demeanor and shy expressions were enough to easily arouse any man's protective instincts.
"Who brought them here?" A sense of curiosity welled up in Sun Fei's heart.
"It was the Blood Blade Mercenary Corps, sent on behalf of a noble family from the capital called the Fren Family..." Angela carefully preserved the three Big Pineapple- shaped stone eggs, turned back, and explained to Sun Fei with a smile, "I know that Chambord City and Blood Blade have a grudge, and the Fren Family is no benevolent family either. However, I have inquired privately, and these four girls were forcibly taken by Blood Blade not long ago and given away as gifts. Their backgrounds are very pitiful. If they were returned, their fate might be even worse, so I took the liberty of keeping them here!"
"Yes, you did a great job!" Sun Fei was very satisfied with Angela's actions.
Angela smiled and pointed to the gifts by the door in the distance, continuing, "And these gifts... I'm not sure whether I should accept them or not, and I dare not make the decision on my own. So, I've attached a note with the origin of the person who gave them. If you, Alexander, do not wish to accept these gifts, I can send them all back tomorrow."
"Hahaha, accept it, why wouldn't we? Why throw away something that's been delivered to our door?" Sun Fei laughed and put his arm around his fiancée's shoulder, saying, "These things will all be given to the soldiers tomorrow. They've been through so much on their journey from Chambord City, they've suffered a lot."
"Mm." Having grown accustomed to His King's occasional intimate gestures, Angela no longer blushed as easily as before.
"As for them..." Sun Fei glanced at the four timid girls who were staring at him in fear, awaiting their fate, and said, "You make the arrangements. Tomorrow at noon, I have a duel with the Seventh Judgment Knight on the First Sword-Testing Platform, so I need to meditate for a while tonight. Don't let anyone disturb me. You should also get some rest. If anything else happens, Angela, you'll handle everything!"
After Sun Fei finished speaking, he kissed his fiancée's smooth forehead, turned around, and went into a compartment on the left side of the main tent.
Soon, a sky-blue Teleport appeared in the cubicle, and Sun Fei stepped in, disappearing from the spot.
