Chapter 256 Leaving Kled Territory
Chapter 256 Leaving Kled Territory
Today is the day to set out from Krey Territory. Countless Krey Territory civilians gathered around the Campbell Fire Eagle Team. When they heard that Bai Hao was leaving, they all came to see him off spontaneously.
After all, Bai Hao is a hero who has saved the Kled Territory several times, a handsome young man who can be called the most handsome man in Omo, an exotic noble boy who has no responsibilities or obligations but is willing to sacrifice his life for justice, and a carrier of the miracle of the Goddess of the Moon that is rarely seen in a thousand years.
So many titles are actually gathered together on a boy who is less than thirteen years old. Even if it is just for the sake of broadening their horizons, those busy civilians will take time out to come and see what the legendary Viscount Campbell looks like.
The knights struggled to form a circle around the Campbell Fire Squadron, while the excited civilians of Kled Territory kept cheering outside the circle. The word "a surging crowd" was not enough to describe this lively scene.
Lyle and Clan, who were previously imprisoned in the underground prison, were also among the knights maintaining order. Although the two were only controlled by Jace with black magic before, they still caused a lot of trouble, so Duke Kled still punished them symbolically.
This time, forming a human wall of knights was the hardest and most tiring job, so it was naturally given to Lyle and Clan. As for the trainee knight Lianna, she was assigned to clean the horse trough.
Although Clan had a strong body of nearly two meters, he was still unable to withstand the hundreds of enthusiastic civilians of Kled. He could only cast high-level body strengthening magic and stretched out his hands with difficulty to prevent the civilians from charging.
"Hey, Lyle, which idiot leaked the time and place where Viscount Campbell left Kled?"
Lyle pressed tightly against the armpit of a middle-aged sturdy man, smelled a pungent smell, frowned and said, "Don't, don't ask, it seems that the Duke did it on purpose..."
Then a middle-aged woman pressed her plump upper body directly on Lyle's face, making it difficult for Lyle to breathe, but Duke Krey had given a death order that the knights must not scold civilians.
Like Clan, Lyle could not move from where he was, so he could only turn his head around to avoid suffocating in those two soft masses.
Finally, Lyle couldn't help but complain: "Auntie, could you please step back a little? Your... it's a bit indecent to touch my face..."
"Ah?" A rough male voice suddenly came into Lyle's ears, "What auntie? I'm just a little fat. Are you looking for trouble?"
Lyle looked up subconsciously and saw a burly man with a stubble on his face glaring at him. The man was even a head taller than Clan.
Clan on the side listened to the civilians' enthusiastic discussions in silence. As a knight who had seen Bai Hao with his own eyes, Clan thought that these short-sighted civilians were really exaggerating.
"Have you heard that Viscount Campbell killed that elementalist with just one punch?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't Viscount Campbell a strong man with eight hands and four heads? He should have been killed with eight punches..."
"My Goddess of the Moon, then doesn't he look like a spider?"
……
"Have you heard? Viscount Campbell is actually a white-haired spider monster!"
"really?"
"Of course not. How could it be false if I saw it with my own eyes?"
……
"My sister had the honor of attending the celebration dinner yesterday. Not only did she see Viscount Campbell in person, she even spoke four full sentences to him at close range!"
"Oh, my Sun God!"
"I bet the droplets from Viscount Campbell's speech are still on her face..."
"Where is your sister? Take me to see her!"
"Humph, I actually already..."
……
"I'll tell you a secret. If you hold 99:1 salt water in your mouth, look into Viscount Campbell's eyes without blinking, and repeat your wish a hundred times in your mind, your wish will come true!"
"real or fake?"
"Viscount Campbell is the incarnation of the Moon God recognized by the Saint Lady herself! Is there anything more reliable than this?"
"That makes sense! But where can I get the salt water now?"
"Hey, you're really lucky. I just happen to have some here. I'll just take one gold coin from you."
……
Bai Hao stood on the back of the fire eagle, looking at the crowds of Krey civilians around him and couldn't help but twitching his lips. He now regretted very much not listening to Michelle's advice to quietly leave Krey.
The current scene made Bai Hao couldn't help but think of the star-chasing scene in his previous life. Looking at the dense crowd, Bai Hao was really worried that a serious stampede would occur here.
"Not ready yet?" Bai Hao couldn't help but urge after waiting for a while.
Xing Lili sighed deeply upon hearing this and said, "There is a fire eagle that is a bit shy. Such a grand occasion makes it feel timid. I just need to comfort it."
Bai Hao curled his lips, then looked at the other fire eagles that kept raising their heads and neighing. It seems that the personalities of fire eagles are the same as those of humans, some are shy and some are excited.
I saw several fire eagles flapping their wings towards the noisy crowd around them, trying their best to show off their beautiful fiery red feathers, as if this was their stage and the crowd were all spectators.
Not long after, Campbell's group of fire eagles finally rose slowly into the air under the gazes of countless civilians in Krey. With the loud cries of several excited fire eagles, the atmosphere on the scene reached its climax.
Bai Hao smiled calmly at the ground, while Kalia and Yula jumped and danced excitedly, waving their fair little hands in an attempt to respond to the enthusiasm of the civilians in Kled.
Bai Hao kept an eye on Kalia the whole time, fearing that this lively red-haired girl would fall because of her excessive movements. After all, Kalia had fallen once on the way to Kled Territory.
As for Youla, Bai Hao felt that even if he accidentally fell down, nothing would happen to this guy.
The fire eagle quickly rose to a high altitude. Bai Hao looked at the Krey Territory which was still in ruins. Looking at this ancient town where he had stayed for more than a month, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Although under Zelianus's swift and decisive arrangements, Krey has begun reconstruction work in an orderly manner, but the chaotic ruins of the city may take at least half a year to clean up.
Among them, the huge abyss located in the library of the inner city is extremely conspicuous when viewed from the sky. If the ruins of the Kled city area are a huge whirlpool, then the abyss is equivalent to the center of the whirlpool.
"K'anquil..." Bai Hao murmured subconsciously.
When Bai Hao first heard the name of this demon at the bottom of the abyss, he felt extremely familiar with it. After returning to land, Bai Hao quickly got the answer through Zelianus.
Kenquil is the name of a great monarch. He was a founding emperor who unified the Central Plains 20,000 years ago. He founded the Kentor Dynasty which was once prosperous.
The current town of Krey is exactly where the capital of that huge empire was back then.
