Upon closer inspection, he saw neither his pet nor his uncle, but instead spotted an unusual figure.
"Hide now!"
Before Qi Yan could react, he was grabbed by the collar and dragged into the alley by Jody.
The two huddled deep in the alley, only to hear footsteps approaching from afar and then quickly fading away.
"what's the situation?"
"It's the court; they're searching the town."
Jody warned seriously, "Neither you nor I can be discovered by them, or we will definitely be arrested and interrogated."
"Don't worry, I'm here!" Qi Yan patted his chest and assured him, "We just need to focus on finding my little sea cat. Let's see who dares to mess with us. Don't forget, I know some big shots!"
Jody smiled wryly and remained silent.
For a moment, he didn't know how to explain the horrors of the courtroom to this naive outsider.
The alleyway fell eerily quiet as the two stopped talking.
In the silence, the two of them simultaneously heard a strange rustling sound.
The sound was like something sticky and soft rolling over the wall.
Qi Yan's eyes lit up.
"Is it your pet?" Jody stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
He couldn't imagine what kind of monster could make that unsettling sound.
"No, the baby sea lion is cuter than it, but finding it gives you a chance to find the baby sea lion."
Qi Yan decisively chased after the direction from which the sound came.
Jody gritted her teeth and chose to follow Qi Yan's lead.
The two walked through the alley, climbed over a low fence piled with clutter, and finally followed the sound to a closed window.
Before Qi Yan and Jody could make a move, they heard voices coming from inside the house.
"Has the court gone mad? How many brothers and sisters have been arrested and slaughtered in just one night?"
"Calm down. It's the changes on the border that have caused panic in the court. It's him, it must be him. This is a good thing for us."
"I don't know."
"The court clashed with him. The court remained foolish, arrogantly foolish. Offending him was enough for the court to pay a heavy price, even without us lifting a finger."
"Who exactly is he? Can you be more specific?"
"...Being a being of that level requires caution even when addressing it by name. It's not something we can get involved in. We just need to take control of the Eye of Iberia before everyone else...or destroy it."
Jody's heart skipped a beat when she suddenly heard a familiar word.
The Eye of Iberia, the only lighthouse remaining after the Great Silence, the great building that has involved countless lives and grudges, the ruins that made him an orphan, has now once again become the center of certain events.
In her panic, Jody moved unintentionally and bumped into a bamboo pole beside her.
The bamboo pole fell onto the wet ground, making a crisp sound.
A loud shout came from inside the window.
Jody instinctively tried to pull Qi Yan away to escape, but found that Qi Yan had already stood up and pushed open the tightly closed window.
Qi Yan stood with his hands on his hips, looking proud.
Jody: ? ? ?
Before he could react, the sounds of fierce fighting came from inside the house again.
"What...what's going on?"
Jody stood up in surprise and looked into the room.
He saw two corpses lying on the floor, crimson blood flowing continuously from the twisted bodies that looked as if they had been crushed by a giant wheel, and standing beside the corpses was a burly man in black.
The man carried a huge, blood-stained anchor in one hand, and gently steadied his wide-brimmed hat, which had tilted slightly from the impact, with the other.
"Murder...murder!" Jody's throat was dry. "You're not from the Inquisition, so who are you?"
The man in black turned his head and looked over Jody and Qi Yan.
“The Agorians, and… a Rupert.” The man in black tossed the anchor over.
The massive anchor seemed weightless in the black-clad man's hands, floating lightly into the air with a whooshing sound.
Jody didn't even have the ability to dodge. By the time he realized the man in black had made his move, the anchor was already in front of them.
The expected pain did not occur; the massive anchor struck the wall beside the two men precisely.
A grotesque sound of flesh being crushed echoed in Jody's ears. The wall collapsed with a crash, and he stiffly turned his head to see a bizarre creature, resembling a snail with a hard shell and soft tentacles, crushed to death under the anchor.
Jody was ice-cold, and her hands and feet were almost numb with fear.
He realized that this person could kill him and Qi Yan as easily as crushing two ants.
“The last Agor of Granfalo, you are a descendant of Breogan.” The man in black walked slowly over. “I didn’t expect you to come looking for me yourself, which saved me a lot of trouble.”
"Bu, what do you mean?" Jody clearly didn't understand.
Qi Yan glanced back at Jody and joked, "What a typical villain's statement! This guy gives off the first impression of a super villain."
Jody: "..."
He couldn't understand why Qi Yan could still joke around in the face of such a terrifying scene.
But Qi Yan's joke reminded him of something else.
"You're the one who caused panic in the town and made the court turn out in full force?" Jody looked at the man in black in shock.
The man in black was clearly taken aback.
He didn't know what Jody was talking about.
After a moment's thought, the man in black seemed to have realized something and nodded, saying:
"I should be qualified."
Jody gasped.
Even Qi Yan couldn't help but look amazed.
A perfect scapegoat!
Before Qi Yan could speak, the man in black continued:
“Agor, you and your companions must come with me, or the Terrorfish will kill you, the Tribunal will imprison you, and you are the most important clue.”
"But……"
"Alright, alright, it seems we've managed to save our lives." Qi Yan put his arm around Jody's shoulder and said cheerfully, "It's a great thing that they didn't kill us. Let's just go along with them and save our lives."
The man in black glanced at Qi Yan, seemingly quite satisfied with his cooperation.
Qi Yan laughed even more heartily and began to introduce himself in a familiar manner:
"My name is Extreme Realm, this is Luminous, and what's yours?"
Jody glanced at Qi Yan in surprise, then suddenly realized what was happening.
Taking a pseudonym, even if I don't know how it will help in this situation, at least it's a form of resistance, and it provides some psychological comfort.
“Ulbian,” the man in black said coldly.
He walked up to the two men, easily lifted the huge anchor with one hand, and picked up the corpse of the strange creature with the other.
“Come with me. Don’t try anything funny. I don’t want to hurt my fellow countrymen and his companions.”
Ulpian emerged from the hole in the collapsed wall and strode ahead, leading the way.
Qi Yan, pulling a somewhat apprehensive Jody along, asked with a grin:
Where are you taking us?
“It will do you no good to pry into information indiscriminately,” Ulbian said without turning his head. “All you need to know is that staying by my side is the safest option right now.”
After saying that, Ulpian felt a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason.
He cautiously observed his surroundings but found nothing unusual.
Beside him were only his fellow countrymen with worried expressions and Rupert, who smiled without saying a word.
Ulpian: ?
Why is Rupert always smiling?
Chapter 1025 Ulpian: You certainly don't want to witness a hunter's hunting techniques.
Ulbian looked away from Qi Yan's face and down at the carcass of the Terrorfish in his hand.
Although they were called corpses, these bizarre creatures were incredibly resilient. Even after taking his blow and their body structure was already destroyed, their limbs were still writhing unconsciously.
"Stay close to me and don't try anything funny."
Ulpian warned Qi Yan separately.
Qi Yan immediately saluted: "Yes, Captain, no problem, Captain!"
"...I am not your captain."
Ulpian was too lazy to waste words with the neurotic Rupert and quickened his pace through the town's streets and alleys.
He cautiously avoided all pedestrians as he led his two children to the edge of the town square, where he casually tossed the carcass of the terror fish out.
Under his precise control, the carcass of the dinosaur landed perfectly beneath the sculpture in the very center of the square.
Several pedestrians in the square heard the commotion and curiously gathered around to investigate. When they discovered that it was a strange and inexplicable monster, their expressions changed.
Immediately, some people turned to seek help.
Jodi, led by Ulbian, hid in a corner and watched everything that was happening in the square, his face showing worry.
"Won't that monster harm the townspeople?"
“These Iberians are not innocent... but you can rest assured that the dinosaur was too weak to struggle after taking one of my blows.”
Ulpian instinctively spoke his mind, but considering that he still needed Jody for his next move, he forced himself to change his tone and say something reassuring.
However, his words clearly had no effect.
Jody's worried expression did not lessen in the slightest.
"Captain, who are you trying to lure out?" Qi Yan joked.
“You’re very clever.” Ulbian glanced at Qi Yan. “Once the target is lured out, I will go to see her alone. You’d better not try to take the opportunity to escape.”
I'm sure you wouldn't want to witness a hunter's hunting methods.
Qi Yan listened to Ulbian's domineering speech, his face filled with undisguised excitement.
For some reason, seeing Qi Yan's reaction, Ulbian felt a pang of regret.
Could it be that this crazy Rupert, who originally had no intention of running away, has now developed the idea of running away in order to see his hunting skills?
Given Rupert's mental state, Ulpian thought it was very likely!
"Captain, Captain, someone's coming!" Qi Yan suddenly interrupted Ulbian's thoughts.
The three of them turned their heads at the same time and saw that a lot of townspeople had gathered in the square to watch the excitement, and several people from the court had also come after hearing the news.
Upon seeing the carcass of the dinosaur, the court personnel's expressions changed drastically.
"Everyone, scatter immediately!"
"Has anyone touched the creature's carcass? If so, for your own safety, please report it to us immediately!"
"Um...aren't these two instructions somewhat contradictory?"
While the court officials were staring at each other in disbelief, the townspeople around them had already fled as if they were venomous snakes.
It seems that for them, the courtroom was far more terrifying than the monstrous fish.
Ulpian looked at the situation in the square and couldn't help but click his tongue.
"Hehe, you didn't expect the court to act so quickly, did you?" Qi Yan chuckled mischievously. "You didn't manage to lure out your target, did you?"
