Necromancer, summoning 055? What the heck?

Chapter 52 Stream Moon Emerald and Green Pine

Dongxia is doing her best to help Xiaochen design and make all sorts of auxiliary tools, or rather, "cheating tools," whether they are needed or not.

Meanwhile, Chen Mo, like a tireless machine, continued to work day and night, burning the midnight oil.

So far, he can't even remember the names of most of his fellow trainees, but the terrifying reputation of "Roy" as the King of Kings has spread widely in the Micro Light Group, and even the next level, the Rising Light Group, has heard of him.

Meanwhile, in two other directions on the mainland, two other groups of people were also concerned about this young necromancer apprentice.

One group, naturally, was the team from the Cloud Territory of the Emerald Duchy.

The direct descendants of nobles from allied nations were attacked by orc cavalry on their own territory. This was a major event that shook the entire Creek Moon Kingdom. The king's wrath ignited the skies of the Northern Foothills, and the entire Federation was shaken.

Scouts sprang out in all directions, their iron hooves thundering. The renowned Azure Water Knights of Xiyue dispatched three squadrons of elite cavalry to conduct a grid search along the Changfeng Hills in all directions.

The scattered wolf riders were dragged out one by one, and the wolf hairs of the war wolves became the new decorations on the crowns of the Federation knights.

"Your Highness, news from Xiyue says that the matter has been basically investigated and clarified!"

Captain Peiwen looked somewhat tired, and hurriedly returned covered in dust, presenting a report bearing the official seal of Xiyue.

"According to the explanation given by the Xiyue Federation, this barbarian group traveled south by boat from the north, secretly landed at Xiasha Port, and traveled by night and day, ambushing the outer perimeter of Changfeng Hills under the guidance of spies."

"Those captured by Xiyue so far are all ordinary wolf riders. During interrogation, they only know that the leader ordered them to intercept and kill a big shot, but they know nothing about the specific details."

"The port authority manager of Xiasha Port committed suicide. The trail is completely dead!"

"In addition," Captain Peiwen took out a thick stack of name cards, all inlaid with gold and purple, shimmering with light: "Several nobles in Xiyue wish to invite Princess to their manor, saying that they hope to offer her a warm welcome to soothe the disturbance Princess has suffered here."

Princess Liushuang's eyes lit up.

These days, staying indoors and rarely venturing out are a real ordeal for the lively and active little princess.

Visiting those aristocratic estates, listening to interesting stories, and enjoying the scenery seems like a good choice.

However, her excited thoughts had barely surfaced when she caught sight of Master Locke's cold, stern face, like that of an ancient glacier.

The young princess wisely shrank back and swallowed the words she was about to say.

As the team's intellectual backbone, Old Locke read through all the intelligence reports sent by the Creek Moon Alliance, and then let out a long sigh.

We need to find a way to get out of this damn place as soon as possible!

"what?"

“Your Highness, Captain Peiwen, the Xiyue Federation appears to be making a big fuss, but in reality, they are simply avoiding the important issues.”

"Such a large elite orc wolf rider force, once they leave the pastures, can wipe out a small town's monthly tax revenue in a single day. Can the port manager of a mere fishing port afford to support them?"

"Not to mention that it's hundreds of kilometers from the port to here. Without the tip-off and cover from important federal figures, how could they have tracked our movements so accurately?"

"Now, by pushing all the blame onto that damned port official, whether the Federation doesn't want to continue investigating or is afraid to investigate, Xiyue is not a safe place for us."

"Captain Peiwen, what do you think?"

The Golden Scale Swordsman nodded without hesitation: "Master Locke is right!"

“The port chief of Xiasha has committed suicide out of fear of punishment, leaving no way to verify the facts. When the federal inspector was dealing with me, all he cared about was where our fire master was.”

“I suspect that if it weren’t for this ‘elemental control’ that is out of their sight, the second attack on us might already be underway!” Of course, this is a complete misunderstanding.

When inspectors from the Xiyue Federation were surveying the Changfeng Hills, they were horrified by the gruesome death of the orc leader. They dispatched several high-level professionals to the scene to conduct repeated examinations of the mixture of bone and iron.

Unfortunately, when the thermite grenade detonated, the grenade itself melted away, completely dissolving into the muddy remnants of the armor. Therefore, they could only offer a guess: it was the work of a high-level fire mage.

After a brief examination of the Cloud Mist Territory's team composition, the suspicion became more concrete: the Cloud Mist Territory team used some kind of magical item or scroll they were carrying to kill the orc leader.

The fact that this archmage could defeat a fifth-tier Barrier Knight from a distance suggests that his strength can only be described as unfathomable.

This is also the main reason why the Xiyue Federation is so wary of them. In a country like the Xiyue Federation, those above the fifth rank are already considered to have supreme military power. When the Grand Mages of the Radiant Mage Tower come to the capital, the ruler will personally receive them if he has any time.

Do they still have any of these scrolls? How many?

During this period, the several nobles from the Xiyue Federation who came and went were all subtly probing. Fortunately, Master Locke had foreseen this and immediately issued the strictest gag order to the surviving guards and personal maids, thus preventing the Federation members from discovering anything amiss.

Within the decision-making structure of Cloud Mist Territory, the young princess, despite her noble status, obeyed all orders; Lady Linda, responsible for internal affairs, rarely expressed her opinions publicly. At this moment, Master Locke and Captain Peven's agreement was tantamount to a decision being made.

"When will the team from home arrive?" Master Locke asked, this was his biggest concern at the moment.

Since the ambush, the young princess has stayed in the government-run inn in Giant Stone Castle, never leaving the premises. Although the Creek Moon Federation has repeatedly offered to send someone to escort her, Captain Peiwen insisted on refusing, insisting on waiting for his own guards to arrive.

"According to the message from Swift Owl, they have already landed in White Rock. After completing the entry procedures, they will arrive in three or four days at most, traveling day and night."

Old Locke slowly combed his gray hair and let out a long sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good!"

"By the way, any news about that little necromancer?"

Peiwen lowered her voice slightly: "I arranged for the guide to look for him. The young mage got his identity through a friend of the guide, so his friend knows the young mage's whereabouts, but..."

"What?" Upon hearing this topic, both the young princess and Lady Linda perked up their ears.

Clearly, everyone was filled with curiosity about that mysterious necromancer.

"Our guide Luke said that although his friends knew the whereabouts of the little mage, they could not tell us now. They had to send someone to obtain the little mage's consent before revealing his whereabouts."

Locke chuckled, "It seems this little guy is quite popular."

"Then let's wait a little longer. We'll wait until the guards arrive at home, then we can see if we can pay another visit!"

The young princess seemed somewhat unwilling, hanging her head: "Then we won't go to Sixth Sister's place?"

"Later, there will be opportunities later." Master Locke's tone was gentle but firm. "The situation is turbulent right now, and your safety is paramount! We cannot take any risks."

Linda gently pulled the young princess into her arms: "Even if you don't think about yourself, you still have so many people following you!"

"All right……"

The young girl's personality and temperament were completely under the control of the female official, so she could only nod helplessly. Finally, she struggled to make a small request: "If I can see that little necromancer again, I want to take a good look at his skeleton!"

"Alright, alright, whatever you say. Let's see if we can invite him back to Cloud Mist Territory. Then you can watch him for as long as you want!"

"That would be great!"

Just as the Cloud Mist Territory team was pondering how to invite Chen Mo to visit the Emerald Duchy, another armored and sword-wielding team quietly crossed the Dark Forest and headed straight for the White Stone Outpost.

Those were the fourth batch of direct swordsmen from the Zircon family of the Turquoise Kingdom!
