Wizard Immortal

Chapter 521 Colosseum

"My lord, Prince Ire has disappeared!"

Several days later, in a manor, standing before a field of flowers, Carlo turned around and frowned slightly: "Ire is gone?"

"good!"

Before them, a middle-aged man respectfully reported: "Not only Prince Ire, but also Prince Larry, Princess Seria, and several others, have all disappeared."

"Judging from the traces left at the scene, they must have secretly fled a few days ago."

"That's a quick reaction!" Carlo said coldly, somewhat surprised by Ire's swift response.

Having secretly fled several days prior, this indicates that on the very day the contracted beast completed its transformation, Ire had already decided to escape and, without the slightest hesitation, put it into action, using the connections and strength accumulated in the past to escape directly from the capital in one fell swoop.

His decisiveness, unwavering will, and superb methods surprised even Carlo, who couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.

"But do you think you can escape just by running away with your men?"

In an instant, Carlo sneered: "If it were just the original situation, that would be fine. As some remnants of the Yarian royal family, not many people would be interested in you."

"But now that it involves that Crimson King Beast, do you think you can still escape?"

Now, after several days of fermentation, everything about that Crimson King Beast has been spread throughout the city.

Naturally, those people were unaware of and uninterested in Adir, the Crimson King Beast that had already advanced to the fifth rank. Countless nobles secretly kept their eyes on him, thus setting their sights on Silia, their contracted master.

In this situation, if Ire dares to flee, he will inevitably attract the pursuit of countless nobles who will want to reclaim Sireia as their master and thus truly obtain the Crimson King Beast.

And that's precisely why Ire wanted to flee.

The Crimson King Beast's contract has been discovered. If he doesn't escape soon, he will be coerced into handing over Seria in the capital of Kuma sooner or later, thus breaking the bloodline contract.

This is something that the Aryan royal family, including Ire, cannot accept.

After a cold laugh, Carlo felt a headache coming on as he listened to the latest news.

There were just too many people.

On that day, the Crimson King Beast completed its transformation, and the bloodline majesty it unleashed was captured by too many people, so much so that it is now being watched by too many people.

Needless to say, the Fifth Prince is now visiting him almost every day, and he can't feel at ease until he sees that Crimson King Beast.

There were also problems on the side of the Kuma royal family. After the existence of the Red King Beast was exposed, although the current Kuma King did not say anything, several princes made unusual moves at the same time, almost simultaneously sending people to him to inquire about the news. The underlying meaning was quite clear.

Even Carlo's own family couldn't help but be tempted by this fully grown Crimson King Beast, and repeatedly hinted to Carlo to bring it back to the clan to form a blood pact with another genius in the family.

All these hints left Carlo, a knight of the North, feeling exhausted and overwhelmed.

But he understood that all of this was inevitable.

A priceless beast is valuable enough that a king of a country would go out of his way to acquire it.

In fact, if the blood pact on the Crimson King Beast hadn't been broken yet, and if Carlo, as a Northern Knight, hadn't been so powerful, he wouldn't have been facing all sorts of hints, but would have been directly robbed.

Just thinking about this made Carlo feel somewhat frustrated, and even as a knight of the North, he felt somewhat powerless.

After standing quietly for a while, Carlo seemed to sense something and turned around to look in a certain direction.

Suddenly, in that direction, a handsome young man with a smiling face stood there, dressed in a dignified black suit, looking calm and composed.

"Prince Irida!"

Upon seeing the young man, Carlo's expression instantly turned respectful. He lowered his head and spoke respectfully.

The prince before them was the younger brother of the current King of Kuma, and also the most powerful person in the entire Kingdom of Kuma, second only to the King of Kuma.

Even someone as proud as Carlo had to bow his head and lower his stance in the face of this prince.

"Carlo..."

Standing before Carlo, Irida smiled, turned to look at him, and after a long pause, finally spoke: "His Majesty has given orders..."

Carlo was startled at first, then said, "Please relay this to Your Highness."

"His Majesty has ordered you to deliver that Crimson King Beast to the Kumara Arena." Before him, Irida's smile remained unchanged as he looked at Irida and spoke quietly.

"this···"

Upon hearing this order, Carlo hesitated.

The Kumara Arena is the largest arena in the Kingdom of Kumar, where various calamity beasts and contracted beasts fight each other at regular intervals to entertain the nobles of various countries.

Most importantly, this arena is the private property of this prince. Once the Crimson King Beast is sent there, it will be equivalent to it going into the royal family's pocket.

Therefore, Carlo hesitated for a long time before finally nodding somewhat reluctantly: "I'll send it over right away..."

To be fair, having finally acquired such a precious contracted beast, it would be hard for Carlo, as a knight of the North, to simply give it away for nothing.

But what can you do if you're unwilling to accept it?

The person standing before them was none other than Prince Irida, the strongest being in the entire Kingdom of Kuma, second only to the king.

Even if they felt resentful and unwilling, what could they say to this prince? There was simply no room for refusal.

"Don't worry."

Irida glanced at Carlo, fully aware of his resentment and unwillingness, and said again, "His Majesty will not take your contracted beast for nothing. After the Crimson King Beast is delivered, go to the secret vault yourself and retrieve three items."

In an instant, Carlo's expression relaxed.

The Kingdom Treasury contains the complete collection of all the Kuma kings throughout history, and it is filled with countless treasures.

Although the best things certainly won't be included, even the remaining items are still undoubtedly good for someone of Carlo's caliber.

Taking three items from here, while not worth the value of a Red King Beast compared to Carlo, is still quite a good deal.

"That's good, at least it will divert those people's attention."

Secretly, he even breathed a sigh of relief.

After acquiring the Crimson King Beast, the pressure he faced was unimaginable to others. Various princes and powerful nobles pressured him to reveal the beast.

After the Crimson King Beast was sent to the Kumara Arena, these people's attention would naturally be diverted.

Although the Kumara Arena is Prince Ilida's private property, the prince already has his own contracted beast, so it is impossible for him to contract with the Red King Beast.

If we can leverage our connections, we might be able to get the Crimson King Beast from this prince.

····················

"That master is getting further and further away."

Lying on the spacious grass, Adir closed his eyes, sensing the person on the other end of the bloodline contract, and this thought silently flashed through his mind.

It must be said that the bloodline contract has become the mainstream in this world for a reason.

Even with Adir's current power and past experience, he still couldn't break the contract.

According to Adir's own estimation, it would probably be possible to directly terminate this contract at the fourth level.

The reason for this is that the bloodline contract is rooted in some of the rules of this world, and unless one becomes powerful enough to influence these rules, it is impossible to break it by one's own power.

However, with Adir's power, although he could not break the contract, he could easily modify it and subtly change some of its rules.

For example, Adir has now changed the rule that when the master dies, the beast is also seriously injured.

If Seria dies, Adir will still be affected, but the backlash will be less severe, and he won't be seriously injured.

As Adir's power increases, he will be able to modify more and more regulations. In the end, he might even enslave his contract master, Seria.

boom! !

In the distance, the faint sound of a door lock opening caught Adir's attention.

Adir opened his eyes and looked in the direction the iron gate had opened. There, a handsome young man with a deep smile on his face and a gentle appearance walked from a distance, his eyes fixed on him.

"Danger···"

After giving the young man a deep look, Adir decisively lowered his head and stopped looking at him.

Although it was only temporarily solidified, through the intuition of the magical beast's bloodline and his own powerful senses, Adir could feel the immense life force and potential power emanating from the young man before him.

This is a powerful figure comparable to a level two wizard. Although he was nothing to Adir at his peak, he is an absolute powerhouse to Adir now. He could be crushed with just one hand.

"Do you sense the danger I'm in?"

Walking through the iron gate, Irida was somewhat surprised by Adir's reaction: "Such keen senses."

"It's not just about sensory perception." A young attendant respectfully spoke up, "When this Crimson King Beast was delivered, we tested its abilities in every aspect, and the final result was quite unexpected."

"Whether it's strength, agility, or perception and intuition, this Crimson King Beast is top-notch. In almost every aspect, it can be compared to a sixth-tier contracted beast, or even slightly surpass it."

"This situation indicates that this Crimson King Beast still has great untapped potential and may reach even greater heights in the future."

"Thinking about it, that makes sense." Irida smiled, but also sighed. "To reach the fifth rank at only three months old, such a terrifying performance, how could it not have immense potential?"

"It's not surprising that the princess would take a liking to it."

He muttered to himself, then turned to look at his aide-de-camp: "Has it been tested in actual combat?"

"Not yet." The attendant shook his head. "There aren't many fifth-tier calamity beasts. This Crimson King Beast just arrived, so it's difficult to make arrangements yet."

"Moreover, this Crimson King Beast is too precious, but it has already fought a fifth-tier Calamity Beast just three months after its birth. If it were to die prematurely, it would be a great pity..." he said slowly, expressing his concerns.

"Don't worry about that." Irida shook her head. "If you're afraid of risks and don't do anything, you'll end up accomplishing nothing."

"Moreover, with me here, I can step in and stop it at crucial moments, and there won't be any problems."

"With your abilities, there is naturally no problem." The attendant nodded respectfully, his face filled with reverence, clearly showing great trust in the prince's capabilities.

"Let's make the arrangements in a while," Irida said casually, rubbing her forehead. "If we don't have a fifth-tier calamity beast, a lower one will be fine too."

"A true beast must be accustomed to fighting, and this is something that should be cultivated from a young age."

"Yes!" The attendant nodded.

"Everything was arranged perfectly."

In the distance, Adir listened quietly to the conversation between Irida and the other person, feeling somewhat helpless.

Being controlled by others is a bad thing. No matter what others arrange for you, you can only obediently accept it and have no room to refuse.

Fortunately, he was still somewhat useful to these people and wasn't assigned to do anything dangerous.

Moreover, their arrangement was exactly what Adir wanted.

Although he didn't understand what a Calamity Beast was, for Adir, as long as his own bloodline was strong enough to nurture the seed of blood, that was enough.

Using war to sustain war is the most suitable path for cultivating the Bloodline Secret Manual.

Thinking of this, Adir closed his eyes, his will vanishing in an instant, as if he had fallen into the deepest slumber.

In secret, he quietly extracted a little bit of bloodline power to slowly nourish the seed in his heart, allowing its quality to slowly improve under the cumulative impact, thus driving his own bloodline to undergo a transformation.

Soon, a few days later.

On a bright and sunny morning, the Kumara Colosseum was unusually lively, much to the surprise of countless passersby.

"He is the head of the Ailan family."

A voice rang out from the road. Looking at the golden patterns on a magnificent carriage in the distance, a middle-aged nobleman dressed in fine clothes and holding a long black umbrella seemed somewhat surprised.

"And that one, is the bishop of the North District."

In the distance, an elderly man with a serious expression, dressed in a black monk's robe, walked across the road. His imposing presence was so tangible that it made those around him feel somewhat suffocated.

"That's... a Northern Knight!!"

A sudden burst of exclamations caused a surge in the crowd.

On the long road in the distance, the Northern Knight Carlo, with a smile on his face and dressed in a well-tailored black suit, walked through the VIP passage led by his attendants.

Clearly, compared to other important figures, his reputation was far greater, causing a sensation wherever he went.

Before people could fully react, one after another, important figures who were rarely seen in public arrived, as if they had made an appointment.

Knights of the North, the eldest prince, the fifth prince, a bishop of a region, the patriarch of a renowned family...

One by one, important figures whose names were usually only heard of but whose faces were never seen arrived, each one causing a stir and eliciting gasps of amazement from countless people.

This situation reached its peak when Prince Ilida arrived with a stunningly beautiful princess in a silver dress.

"What's going on today? Why are so many important people here together?"

As Prince Ilida walked past in the distance, a nobleman looked on with some confusion and curiosity about the grand occasion.

His keen sense of identity made him acutely aware of the unusual nature of today.
