Chapter 332: Flying North, Where is Seven-Color?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The sudden outbreak of war on the northern border had shocked countless people in the Sebastian Kingdom. Even the local senate had not expected this!
The Imperial family of the Sebastian Kingdom had not expected the Malai Kingdom to invade the northern territory at this moment!
Although the land of the Sebastian Kingdom and the Malai Kingdom were adjacent to each other, most of the borders were separated by the Black Forest, which was equivalent to half a natural barrier. Therefore, the frequency of wars between the two countries was extremely low.
The most recent war between the two countries was more than 3,000 years ago.
Now, the sudden attack on the northern territory by the Malai Kingdom had far exceeded everyone’s expectations.!!
If they were at war, so be it. However, it had happened at such an opportune moment. Many people guessed that it was very likely that the Malai Kingdom had joined forces with the Lassie Kingdom, so they had attacked the Sebastian Kingdom one after another!
Originally, the Sebastian Kingdom was stronger than the Lassie Kingdom. Regarding this battle, the ordinary citizens of the Sebastian Kingdom were a little nervous, but when it came to worry, there was not much. Now that the situation had suddenly changed, and the Sebastian Kingdom was being attacked from both sides, the situation was already very unfavorable…
The more the ordinary citizens thought about it, the more they panicked.
When Dick learned of the news that the Malai Kingdom had invaded the northern territory, he was surprised and his heart felt heavy.
Then, he went to Norton’s study.
Norton saw Dick coming over and understood. “Have you also received the news that the northern territory has been invaded?”
“Yes,” Dick said firmly. “Grandpa, I plan to go to the northern territory to take a look.”
Norton looked at him and asked, “Are you worried about that weapon refining sect?”
“No, they no longer have anything to do with me.” Dick paused, his eyes filled with worry. “There’s an elder in the northern territory whom I care about a lot. I wonder if he’s safe.”
The elder he mentioned was Miller, the Treasure Pavilion Manager of the Walls Village. He was not considered Dick’s biological family, but the two of them were no different from family.
After returning to the Nicholas family, Dick had also been corresponding with Miller from time to time. When he was traveling previously, he had returned to the Walls Village several times to visit. At that time, he had wanted to bring him back to the family, but he was rejected… Now that he knew war was breaking out in the northern territory, he wondered if the Walls Village had been affected. Dick was very worried for Miller’s safety.
Knowing that the other party was determined to go, Norton did not stop him. “Alright, bring some retainers from the clan over.”
Dick shook his head. “There’s no need to bring anyone. I’ll go and take a look myself. Perhaps I was overthinking.”
“Bring a few people over,” Norton advised him. “Even if they can’t protect you, they can at least be your assistants to avoid the situation where you have no help when you need it.”
The family clan currently had many retainers; there was no point in keeping them if they were not put to use.
Dick thought for a moment and agreed. “Alright, I’ll bring a few retainers with me.”
“Do you want to use the Sacred Mist Ferry?” Norton asked.
“No need.” Dick shook his head. “The usual flying ferry will do.”
Apart from the Sacred Mist Ferry, the family clan still had a few private flying ferries for travel. Currently, only when there was an urgent matter would the Sacred Mist Ferry be mobilized. It had already become an important trump card of the family clan.
… .
Two hours later, Dick led the six Great Archmage retainers and set off in a small flying ferry.
The small flying ferry rose into the sky. Soon, it left the Holy Light City and sped north.
“Swoosh!” A rainbow-like figure flew past above their heads. It had already been flying with Dick and the others for half a day.
“Seven-Color, go home first.”
Dick stood on the deck of the flying ferry and looked up slightly to wave at the seven-color young peacock in the sky.
The intellectual development of a spirit beast was slower than that of a human. A ten-year-old young peacock’s intelligence was at most that of a three-year-old child. Usually, it would show some playful behavior.
After roughly understanding what Dick meant, the young peacock reluctantly circled several times before it stopped following the flying ferry… When the flying ferry was far away, the young peacock circled around the area and flew in the direction of the Holy Light City.
… . .
At the same time, in the Holy Light City.
In the Sky Eagle School, Anthony was listening to a class in the classroom.
On the podium, the teacher was talking about the past of the Magic Continent.
All the students, including Anthony, listened attentively. Their teacher was not only talking about the history of the ordinary world, but also the history of the magical world.
Especially in the magical world, those heroic legends that sounded fantastical made all the students very excited and worshipful. Some of the children would even exclaim softly from time to time or fantasize about what they would do if they could become a powerful Mage…
Most of the students in the Sky Eagle School were from the various families of magic cultivation in the palace. They had basically entered the lowest stage of magical power cultivation, but whether they could become a Great Archmage in the future was not yet known.
As for becoming a great person in an earth-shaking legend, most people could only fantasize about it in their minds…
Unlike his classmates, who were envious and could only fantasize, Anthony was more mature. He knew his magical power talent and the background of his family clan. Unlike the others whose futures were uncertain, Anthony was certain that he would go far in the path of cultivation in the future.
It was not impossible to become a rare existence that could stir up a storm!
Anthony’s eyes were amazingly bright, and his heart was full of longing and desire.
Sigh… He still had to wait three to four years. He would only be able to break through and become a Great Archmage after he was 14 years old. It was still a long time.
In fact, Anthony felt that he could break through to become a Great Archmage at any moment. He had already made preparations for the advancement requirements mentioned by the adults in the clan…
As he thought about this, the energy in his body surged and became restless in a state where he could break through the bottleneck at any moment. If he wanted to break through, he would be able to advance to become a Great Archmage now!
Moreover, Anthony had an inexplicable feeling in his mind. There seemed to be something very tempting on the other side of the bottleneck.
Especially whenever he probed the other side like today, that magical attraction became even stronger.
“Eh?!” Suddenly, Anthony was stunned. A thought inexplicably appeared in his mind, and then disappeared in a flash!
He suddenly jumped up from his seat, and his chair scraped the ground backward, emitting a piercing sound. This startled the teacher and other students in the classroom.
The teacher asked in shock, “Anthony, what’s wrong?”
The student, who had always appeared calmer than his peers, actually looked flustered at this moment. He said anxiously, “Teacher, I… I would like to be excused!”
Before he could finish his sentence, Anthony had dashed out of the window. After a few leaps, he was gone.
The others in the classroom had just blinked and looked over, when they saw a rapidly disappearing figure. Everyone looked out in shock. “What… is going on?”
Anthony, who had rushed out of the classroom and out of the school, soon arrived at the Nicholas family home.
Seeing his anxious expression, the servant guarding the door asked in surprise, “Young Master Anthony, is school out so early today?”
“Where’s Seven-Color?” Anthony looked nervous.
The servant was stunned. He looked up into the sky and replied as he recalled, “I remember that earlier… it was flying north in pursuit of Young Master Dick’s flying ferry… It has not returned to the palace yet…”
