Chapter 376: Duke Lei Luo
Lei Luo would extract two magic crystals from the Aurora Sword that Allie had asked for.
Then he would insert them into the two remaining grooves on the crystal ball.
He looked at Allie worriedly.
Seeing the worried look in Lei Luo’s eyes, Allie said, “I’m fine. Let’s speed up.”
Lei Luo calmed himself down.
“Sit tight. We’re about to rush out.”
He controlled the magic conductor to accelerate continuously, straight into the sky.
After rushing to the outside of Xida City, Lei Luo looked at the other three people.
“Are you okay?”
“I’m fine…”
“I’m fine…”
Arthur and Morton answered with pale faces.
They tried their best to inhale and puff up the chest that had been pressed against their backs.
Lei Luo looked at Allie who was beside him.
The powerful acceleration made Allie spit out another mouthful of blood from her chest.
She fainted again.
“It’s okay. Her ribs aren’t broken. She just fainted.”
Lei Luo looked at Arthur and Morton’s strange gazes.
Lei Luo’s expression did not change as he withdrew his right hand that was groping Allie’s breasts.
“All right. We’ll be safe once we get on the magic-conducting warship.”
“Will they chase us?”
Arthur looked at Xida City again.
“Don’t worry, they’ll only chase us on horseback. The speed of the magic conductor is much faster than that of the horses, and it has a shield. With our current speed, it’ll be very difficult for them to chase us.”
“Oh, that’s good.”
According to the location Allie had mentioned before, Lei Luo went over a small hill and came to a small forest.
He found a hidden magic battleship and two horses.
The three of them carefully put Allie on the magic battleship. Then Lei Luo and Arthur rode on the horses.
Morton sat on the chariot and started to walk along the road.
From morning till then, Lei Luo’s journey this day was full of drama.
The sky also darkened.
They walked in the vast night sky for three hours. The sky also became darker.
The exhausted Lei Luo felt drowsy.
Suddenly, someone poked him on the shoulder.
Lei Luo suddenly woke up and looked at Morton. “What’s wrong, merchant?”
The sleepy Arthur looked at the two of them in confusion.
Arthur gestured at the magic-conducting warship behind him with his mouth.
Lei Luo turned his head and looked behind him.
It was a black shadow slowly approaching them.
“Could this be…”
Lei Luo widened his eyes in disbelief.
“It’s the light patrol squad.” Morton calmly and cruelly confirmed his judgment.
“It’s over. They must be faster than us. We’re going to be caught up. Oh my god, can we be faster?”
“No, there’s no magic power.”
The sudden appearance of the light patrol squad made Arthur panic.
Arthur, who had never experienced a real war, was not used to the pressure of being chased by the cavalry.
“Our horses can’t be faster than the light patrol squad’s horses. Moreover, we are dragging a magic ship without magic power.”
Lei Luo slowly crossed his arms and quietly watched the approaching light patrol cavalry.
There was a strange, unruly, and compassionate smile on his lips.
If Habacca were there with him, he would know that Lei Luo was completely in a state of high thinking.
As long as he was in a state of high thinking, he would instinctively get used to this kind of action and expression.
Arthur, who was a little flustered at the moment, did not notice the difference.
Morton, however, noticed it.
He had always been watching Lei Luo. Lei Luo somewhat piqued his curiosity.
He was very curious about this young man who was also very curious himself.
“Then what should we do? Don’t tell me we should stop and surrender?”
“Surrender? Of course, that is also a choice.”
“What? You really want to surrender?”
Arthur widened his eyes and looked at Lei Luo in disbelief.
“We have two choices at the moment. The first is to increase our speed to the maximum and run as fast as we can to return to the small forest. Although our speed is not as fast as the light cavalry, our bodies are more agile than theirs.”
“Where? We have a chance to get rid of them.”
“However, this is a dangerous path.”
“The light cavalrymen might catch up to us at any time on such a long journey, and they won’t attack us. Moreover, even if we successfully enter the forest, we still need an extremely high level of horseback riding skills to be able to pass through the forest.”
“I don’t think that any of us can do it. Therefore, I personally am not inclined to this choice.”
“There are only two choices. We will stop, but we will not surrender. We will let our pursuers become our escorts. There’s no doubt that the second choice is much better than the first choice in every aspect. However, the decision of the second choice is not in our hands, but in the hands of the other side. Look at the emblem on their flag. It’s the flag of the Dark Dragon Alliance, but it’s not the Phoenix Heart City Lord’s.”
Morton used the night to carefully identify the emblem on their flag.
Lei Luo asked, “Are you sure? Do you know this emblem?”
“Yes, it belongs to Centurion Mitchell. Centurion Mitchell is an intelligence liaison officer of the Dark Dragon Alliance. We’ve dealt with him before. He used to be my client.”
“Tell me what you think of him.”
“If it’s this guy, there’s no hope at all. Although he doesn’t have much of a place in the Dark Dragon Alliance, he’s still an old-fashioned soldier. Even when he came to my office in casual clothes to meet me, he would salute instead of shaking hands.”
Morton had basically understood Lei Luo’s intentions.
“But it’s possible that his adjutant…”
Lei Luo muttered as he glanced at the unconscious Allie.
“We can only try…”
“What are you two talking about? I don’t understand a word,” Arthur said.
“I’ll explain it to you later…Since you think we can make a bet, then…let’s do it?”
Lei Luo glanced at Arthur and then at Morton.
“Let’s do it. What are you hesitating for?”
Lei Luo turned around and stopped the horse.
Then he said in the loudest voice, “Please don’t do anything. We are all hostages of monarch Allie. She is now seriously injured and unconscious. Please treat us in a peaceful way. You must not harm our personal safety. Otherwise, we will sue you according to the Empire’s Protection Law!”
“Ah? Is that Boss Morton? You didn’t suffer any harm, right?”
He probably did not expect that the other party would throw such a harsh sentence at him.
It made Centurion Mitchell very unhappy, but because he could not read the other party’s mind, he could not say anything.
So he turned to speak to Morton, who was standing behind Lei Luo.
“This is my friend from the Imperial City. He is the heir of a duke. To be more precise, he is already a duke. Because his father is dead, he is going back to inherit the title. You can call him Duke Lei Luo.”
“Duke!”
The word ‘duke’ did not only mean status, but also wealth.
It also meant a noble bloodline.
In the entire empire, there were only less than a hundred dukes.
