"If I had to choose again, I would still kill Kingsford." Isaac's hoarse voice came through.Skylar suddenly stepped forward. Grabbing one end of the spiritual energy-suppressing net, she tried to untie its knot."What are you doing?" Isaac's expression changed."I'll let you go," she said seriously.Right then, a deep voice echoed from the sky, "Your Highness, don't approach this villain!"A dagger shrouded in black spiritual energy descended like lightning, directly piercing the ankle bone of Isaac's right foot.He shuddered in pain, groaned, and looked upwards.Clyfford swiftly descended from the sky, followed closely by two subordinates from the Guardian Division.Skylar quickly stepped back, surprised to see Clyfford suddenly appearing in her yard.Upon seeing the dagger stabbed into Isaac's ankle, she frowned and turned to look at Clyfford, asking, "Lord Regent, what brings you here?""Greetings, Your Highness." Clyfford didn't see what Skylar had just done, but he felt
"Leander, go fetch the imperial doctor now." Skylar immediately stepped forward to support Isaac and turned to shout toward the room behind them.After Isaac was helped into a room, the imperial doctor examined his injuries, applied medicine, and then left.When Skylar entered the room with a set of new clothes, she saw that Isaac had already fallen into a deep sleep on the bed.Seeing his stubble-covered face and his frown in his sleep, Skylar couldn't help but stare at him in a daze. She wondered how many troubles he had gone through.Isaac woke up at midnight and felt much better. When he turned around, he saw new clothes placed on the table and two maids standing quietly by the door with their heads lowered.Seeing him wake up, two maids immediately stepped forward and said, "Greetings, Mr. Garten. Her Highness has instructed us to wait for you to wake up and assist you with bathing and dressing.""No need. I can do it myself." Isaac limped out of bed and walked over to the l
He saw Lucifer's name.Isaac abruptly squinted. Was it Lucifer he knew, or someone else with the same name?However, he didn't think too much about it. Everything would only be clear once he was on the battlefield. After putting the name list away, he turned around and lay down on the bed.The next morning, as Isaac was meditating cross-legged, he heard Hallie's cries outside."Mr. Garten..." Hallie stumbled in while crying.With his clothes in tatters and covered in bloodstains, he knelt disheveled before Isaac. Afterward, Skylar followed and entered the room.Isaac felt desperate when he saw Hallie's condition.Yesterday, Clyfford whispered that Raelynn was already in his hands. Isaac had some doubts about that. That was why he requested Skylar to bring Hallie over. It seemed like what Clyfford said was true."How is my mother? Is she alright?" Isaac immediately helped Hallie up and asked anxiously."Your mother is fine, but Mr. Alcott and I were tortured," Hallie said, his
As a vassal state of the Kingdom of Vriweth, the people of the Kingdom of Northwing were taller. It had a different climate, environment, and food culture.However, the language and currency were the same as in the Kingdom of Vriweth.The attendant was completely stunned when he saw Isaac casually put down 100 taels.The economy of the Kingdom of Northwing was much weaker compared to the Kingdom of Vriweth. So, 100 taels of silver would take an attendant roughly two years to earn."Gentlemen, please follow me," the attendant said as he quickly headed toward the stairs.He brought Isaac and Hallie straight to the top floor of the tavern.As the snow fell heavily, the attendant came to the edge of the balcony, pointed to the right, and said loudly, "Gentlemen, just head in that direction. If you ride the Snow Beast, you'll reach the palace in less than half a day."But who are you looking for in the palace? I can inform you which division you should go to.""We're looking for you
In less than half an hour, the bearded man walked in and said, "His Majesty has agreed to see you both. Please follow me."Isaac and Hallie got up and walked outside. Then, they saw a sleigh carriage parked in the yard. The two animals in front of the carriage looked like camels but were completely white.They then got into the carriage, and the bearded man followed them in. The carriage then started moving quickly away.Isaac looked through the small windows on the sides of the carriage and saw that they had entered the royal palace. After winding through for about half an hour, they finally came to a halt.The three of them entered a grand palace. When they reached the main gate, the bearded man made a gesture inviting them to proceed inside, while he stayed outside.Isaac and Hallie walked inside. In the hall on the right, a gray-haired elderly man in a white robe was sitting in front of a desk reading a book."Greetings, Your Majesty. I'm Isaac Garten," Isaac said softly with
Upon hearing Kyler's words, Isaac became anxious. He immediately grabbed Kyler and asked, "Where is Earl Beischel's mansion? Take me there right now!""Sir, this might not be a good idea. Earl Beischel is His Majesty's younger brother. It's quite late. Without the King's order, it wouldn't be appropriate for us to disturb Earl Beischel," Kyler said with a hint of fear.Isaac pondered for a moment before nodding. “Alright, take me to the tavern first.”Upon arriving at the tavern, Kyler left. Isaac then beckoned the attendant over.The tavern was located right on the main street outside the royal palace. Naturally, the attendant was well aware of the highly renowned Earl Beischel's mansion.Hallie arrived in front of the grand mansion at midnight, where four tall and sturdy guards stood at the entrance."Stop right there! Here is Earl Beischel's residence. Outsiders are not allowed near. Leave now!" the guards commanded, raising their spears to block Hallie's path as he approached
"You fools! My boss is watching you from above! Do you think you can kill me? You'll die!" Hallie shouted angrily as he was dragged outside.The mustache man stopped in his tracks as he reached the steps. He sneered as he looked up at the night sky. "Your boss? Up in the sky? Where is he? I don't see him."In the next moment, his sneer froze as Isaac slowly descended from the pitch-black sky, which was mixed with heavy snowfall.As Isaac descended, he emanated a terrifying aura.The two burly men holding onto Hallie were briefly stunned. Sensing the terrifying spiritual energy emanating from Isaac, they immediately held their breath.As Isaac was only six feet from the ground, he shot two streaks of golden spiritual energy toward the chests of the burly men on Hallie's either side.They didn't have time to react. Although they saw the threat of death approaching, they didn't even have a chance to flee.Those two streaks of golden light pierced their chests. Before their blood co
"Send this gentleman to the room in the west yard. Let him rest and serve him tea!" Deveraux immediately ordered the servants, who were hiding on both sides of the courtyard in fear.After that, he immediately turned to a man behind him and urgently whispered, "Quick, go to the palace and ask for reinforcements. I'll stay here and hold them off."The thin man behind him immediately soared into the sky, rapidly heading toward the palace."Mr. Garten, they've gone to get reinforcements!" Hallie shouted anxiously, pointing in the direction where the thin man had left.Seeing that Isaac hadn't moved, Deveraux took a deep breath and walked up with a gesture of invitation. He smiled and said, "Sir, please come this way. Evie isn't in a normal condition right now. We might need time to get her."Isaac appeared expressionless, but his heart had already raced uncontrollably.Since Evie was captured by Carrick and Morgan and taken to the Upper Martial Realm, two months had passed.
