The Spirit World

Chapter 541 First Contact

The world is changing, heroes are rising up, fighting for supremacy in the Central Plains.

The rain stopped after seven days and seven nights, and this metropolis that was silent in the storm began to move in an orderly manner. After all, it was the capital of the Principality of Allan. Magic was used to drain the streets, and while everything was waiting to be rebuilt, an unregulated competition was quietly carried out.

【Royal Arena】

"Now, the magic convention here is about to begin. All irrelevant people, please leave the venue." Alice spread her arms horizontally in her floor-length white dress, and a gust of wind blew towards everyone, making them alert.

In the huge venue of the Royal Arena, mages in magic robes, fully armed paladins, and greatswordsmen carrying all kinds of equipment almost filled the entire venue.

Even after hearing this, only a few people left.

Because this is a closed-door competition, the purpose is to select bodyguards to protect the envoys sent for negotiations.

"Let me reiterate, the rules of the game are very simple, defeat your opponent or make him surrender. The outcome of the game is not a matter of life or death, and those who fail to surrender in time will be seriously injured or die, and the consequences will be at their own risk!" Alice waved her wand solemnly, and the doors and windows of the entire arena closed quickly with a clang.

The competition venue was a simple square brick and stone arena. All the audience seats were cleared out, and only the contestants were sitting there. They were dressed differently and had serious expressions. Looking at Alice in the middle of the arena, their eyes were full of fire.

Alice was dressed very formally, her long white dress showing off her outstanding figure. After she finished speaking, she quickly stepped down and came to the stage.

Another white-haired man in a black suit came on stage. He would announce the respective opponents and winners in the following duel.

Just because there are no rules in a fight doesn't mean there are no rules for winning or losing. Alice walked down slowly. A woman in a red dress looked at her with a doting smile. Alice happily lifted her skirt and ran to her side. She bowed her skirt and whispered, "Mother."

"How is it? Is it fun to put pressure on so many strong people?" Victoria hooked Alice's arm with a small fan and walked towards the stands.

"I was so nervous that I didn't even dare to look at their clothes. I just treated them as ordinary people." Alice hooked her arm around Duke Victoria and supported her. She walked very gracefully, following Duke Victoria's small steps step by step. Duke Victoria gently waved a small fan, looking leisurely and full of aura. She wore very light makeup, and if no one said it, they would be a pair of beautiful sisters.

"That's good too. Just host it a few more times. I'll let you handle all matters, big and small, in the future so that you can gain experience. You won't be afraid of such grand occasions after you see them more often." Duchess Victoria walked past the contestants who were great wizards and great swordsmen, nodded to them one by one, and they responded with greetings to Her Excellency the Duke.

"Okay, mother, I will do my best." Alice also received warm greetings from the contestants, and Alice responded one by one.

"Is Jack Nyman here?" Duke Victoria sat in her own exclusive seat and patted the empty seat next to her with a small fan. Alice did not sit down, but stood quietly.

"I'm here, doing logistics. Lilia from the Carolingian family wants to learn the research of healing spells, so she's asking the doctors for advice. Jack Nyman is also available." Alice stood there, as if she had guessed what her mother meant. Duke Victoria did not directly ask Alice to find Jack Nyman, but instead let his daughter walk in front of almost all the contestants to establish the prestige of the Duke's daughter.

"I want him to sit inside and I have something to talk to him about." Duke Victoria opened a small fan and gently created a breeze. Her golden hair was blown up by the wind and deflected around her neck. This breeze must have been very comfortable and cozy.

"I'll go find him right away." Alice nodded. After getting Duke Victoria's permission, she turned around and left.

She walked through the crowd to whom she had just greeted. Everyone made way for her respectfully and bowed and greeted Alice warmly. Alice walked with her head held high and headed straight for the compartment where the logistics department was located.

She watched a doctor walk out. The doctor almost bumped into her. She looked at Alice in confusion as she walked to the side and changed into a white doctor's uniform very naturally.

Alice pushed open the door of the cubicle, and a tall figure came into view. The figure was wearing a white doctor's uniform and standing very upright in front of the door. His respectful look made her smile helplessly.

"Alice, why are you here?" Lilia was also standing there in a doctor's uniform. She recognized Alice at a glance and came to Alice's side with surprise and joy. Lilia tried to hold Alice's hand. Alice gently held Lilia's hand and said with a smile: "I came to see you. What's wrong? I can hardly recognize you in this doctor's uniform. You are so cute."

"Ah, I was thinking about becoming more handsome, but the comments I get are still cute?" Lilia was a little disappointed, her eyes drifted to Chang Yufeng who was standing next to her. Chang Yufeng looked at Erica, and Erica shrugged.

"What's wrong with being cute? Is it not okay to be cute? Doctors can be cute too." Alice pinched Lilia's face and used her right hand to help Lilia tidy up the loose clothes on her shoulders.

Lilia is indeed a little short in front of Alice and her two tall siblings, but her short stature makes her look cute, just like a little girl.

Lilia's face was pinched, and she smiled like a kitten: "Alice, will there really be a lot of casualties in this game? I heard that this game is very different. You know, I mean, will people really die?"

"Yes, because this competition is a very important one. Those who escort the negotiating envoys will be directly granted the title of earl after returning home and enjoy the treatment of earls. The rewards are so generous, of course some people will use shady tricks and these unfair tricks." Alice looked at Lilia's innocent eyes, hugged her arms, and told her very seriously: "Besides, if the negotiation fails and you are detained, without strong means and psychological quality, it will probably be difficult to return to the principality alive. The enemy will not let any powerful magician go to the battlefield as a combat force, and there is a high probability that he will be detained. This game is equivalent to a real combat simulation. Now if you can't win, you can still admit defeat, which is much more merciful."

Alice smiled naturally and rubbed Lilia's hair: "Don't worry, we have a professional team of doctors, you just need to follow and learn. Okay?"

"Well, thank you, Alice." Lilia nodded, put on a doctor's mask and sorted her clothes again. Her collar was not done, so she turned it up, patted it, and smiled at Alice.

"You're welcome. Actually, I came here for another thing. I want Jack to go with me. My mother wants to see her. You won't stop me from taking her with you, right?" Alice blinked and looked at Chang Yufeng, who responded to her observation with confusion. He looked at Erica again, and Erica sighed.

"Hate it. Why did you tell me when you wanted to ask him to go? Really." Lilia acted coquettishly to Alice. Alice laughed and touched her head without saying anything.

"I'm just trying to give you face. He is from the Carolingian family, and you are the head of the Carolingian family. Isn't it normal to ask you for someone? Right?" Alice touched Lilia's head and didn't want to let go. This little sister's mind was so easy to guess. When she teased her, Lilia's face turned red.

"He is not from the Carolingian family. He has his own ideas and does not need to ask for my opinion." Lilia looked at Chang Yufeng with a red face. Chang Yufeng avoided her naturally. He kept staring at Erica. Erica was cleaning her student wands, and he also stared at Erica's wand.

"Okay, then I'll go talk to him." Alice said, pulling the edge of her skirt. Lilia nodded, and then she turned to Chang Yufeng.

Chang Yufeng was very tall, and Alice had to look up to see him, even though his eyes were fixed on Erica's wand. "Student Jack, my mother, the Duke of Victoria, wants to see you and have a chat with you. If you don't go, I'll be in a difficult position. Please give me a favor." Alice bowed and looked at Chang Yufeng with a respectful look. Her blue eyes were as clear as the sky. Chang Yufeng slowly looked at him, and then raised his head with interest, watching Alice's bow. His voice was as soft as if he was breathing to Alice: "I'm not too scared that the Duke of Victoria would come to chat with me, a commoner."

"So, Sir Jack, you are unwilling to go. That really makes it difficult for me." Alice pouted aggrievedly, and then said softly as if she found it funny: "But Sir Jack, you should still go. I think you also want to see my mother. Chatting with her will be of great help to you."

Alice stood on tiptoe and leaned close to Chang Yufeng's ear and continued softly: "Young Master Chang, it would be better if you could take a walk."

After that, she bowed again and turned to Lilia and said, "Okay, my message has been conveyed. If Sir Jack doesn't come, then there is nothing we can do. I think my mother will just say that I am incompetent. Sir Jack can't be moved. I will leave first, Lilia."

"Okay." Lilia looked at Chang Yufeng who was frowning slightly, and said to him shyly: "Well, Jack, Alice's mother is the Duke of Victoria. I don't think she will embarrass you. If you embarrass Alice, I think you will be troubled, right?"

When Chang Yufeng didn't avoid her, Lilia didn't dare to look at him. She stared at Chang Yufeng's white clothes the whole time. Her eyes were also clear blue, like a docile cat.

"Erica, please persuade your brother. Duke Victoria is a very good person, you can rest assured." Lilia came over and pulled Erica's hand. Erica looked at the little guy, pushed Chang Yufeng helplessly, and went to clean her wand.

Chang Yufeng nodded helplessly.

"Then let's go."

"You see, your words still work. I can't invite Jack." Alice saw that Lilia was happy again. Lilia was simple and kind, and she had almost no scheming at all.

"Then come with me." Alice clicked her wand and opened the door. She did not open the door with her hands. Chang Yufeng followed slowly.

Duchess Victoria is almost a legendary figure. She is well-known and has the reputation of "Lady Rose". Behind her powerful strength is an extremely beautiful appearance. Noble is enough to describe her. As one of the grantees of the duke title of the principality, her status is even higher than that of the princes and dukes.

Chang Yufeng followed Alice slowly. The contestants looked at Chang Yufeng, and almost no one knew him, so the tall man following behind the Duke's daughter caused a lot of discussion.

With Chang Yufeng's calmness, he did not show any fear at all when facing these masters who came to snatch the opportunity to seize the title of earl, but followed them calmly.

The Duke of Victoria's meaning was very simple, which was to let Chang Yufeng show up in public.

In her exclusive seat, Victoria looked at Chang Yufeng, who was being watched closely in the crowd, and the wind from his small fan was blowing towards her. Her eyes seemed to be smiling, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, as she looked indifferently at them walking towards her.

In this first place, Alice showed up among all the masters, intending to tell all the masters of Fran that the Duke's daughter was this beautiful woman. In the second place, Alice brought Chang Yufeng here and let Chang Yufeng show up among all the masters, intending to tell everyone that this was the man favored by the Duke, and his rise to fame would only take a few words.

Amid the anxious gazes of the masters, Chang Yufeng calmly looked at Duke Victoria, who greeted him with a small fan.

Duke Victoria smiled extremely brightly, and when their eyes met, Chang Yufeng immediately became serious. Being recognized by the masters here was not just a simple acquaintance. It also meant that Duke Victoria was very likely the man's backer, and ordinary people could not touch him.

When Alice returned to Duke Victoria, Chang Yufeng stood in front of Victoria.

Duke Victoria pointed at the seat next to him with his small fan, motioning Chang Yufeng to sit down.

Chang Yufeng sat down slowly. This was a great place to watch the arena. The clash of magic on the arena became more and more intense. The huge energy fluctuations accompanied by the wind swept everything in the venue.

"Reincarnation, is it fun, Young Master Chang?" Victoria covered her face with a small fan and only looked at Chang Yufeng with her eyes.

Chang Yufeng said nothing, but just stared at the stands where the winner had already been decided. A man was blasted into a pulp, and he shifted his gaze.

"I was thinking, maybe everyone in this world wants to start over. No one doesn't want to regret it, because everyone has regrets." Seeing that Chang Yufeng didn't say anything, Duke Victoria slowly put away the fan, tapped his palm with it, and sighed: "Alas, people are so unsatisfied. If you were more content, you would stay in Bailing Mountain in the first reincarnation forever, and you wouldn't have experienced so much suffering. It's not impossible to be a puppet of the emperor. You can enjoy the glory and wealth. How great is that, isn't it?"

"If that's what you want to say, I think there's really no need for me to come." Chang Yufeng was about to get up, but she heard Duke Victoria laughing so hard that she couldn't close her mouth. At this moment, she couldn't help laughing and said, "You got angry after being provoked by words. You haven't learned anything in reincarnation. Be at ease. We can't be enemies yet."

"If that's the case, I think Duke Victoria must have thought of a countermeasure." Chang Yufeng sat upright, without any relaxation.

"I got the news. Chen Ruimin will definitely fight this battle. He has endured it for so many years and will never give up. If he wants to fight, we will accompany him. However, thanks to the blood of your ice dragon friend, we have formed a powerful dragon army. Together with the secretly trained spiritual firearms troops, we can snipe those old bones who are still unwilling to make progress in cultivating immortals from a distance of hundreds of meters. Chen Ruimin will definitely lose. The demon tribe will take advantage of the chaos to invade on a large scale, and monsters will also flood. Doomsday is not far away."

Duke Victoria spoke nonchalantly to Chang Yufeng. The rose scent emanating from her was rich and fragrant, and extremely charming.

But the more this happened, the more dangerous aura she exuded.

“By then, Chen Ruimin will release the big demons in the Demon Sealing Well at all costs and perish together with all races. As a result, it will turn into a melee and massacre among the big demons. After all, their hatred is too deep, don’t you think? King~” Victoria narrowed her evil purple eyes, and the purple light became brighter and brighter, making her look extremely evil.

She is very pretty.

"Everything you wanted to achieve has not been realized after all. The only destiny of mankind is to end in endless killing, my dear sheep." Xun Huangying suddenly appeared and sat next to Chang Yufeng, looking sad and distressed. He was a little wolf cub, shaking his ears cutely.

He said: "The war has broken out. No, the war will definitely break out. If we are irreconcilable, we will be mortal enemies."
