Chapter 540

The Prince of Swords needs no one to clear the way for him

“It looks like nothing has changed here.”

Li Re, who had left the palace with Alisa Einbeth, spoke as he looked at the street in front of him. Buildings on both sides, illuminated by the faint light of the rising sun, stood tall and majestic. Ivory-carved high-rises stood on the edge of the road, and the outlines of shadows fell on the stone-paved road like large patches of ink. People walking on the road came and went, including residents living in the royal city, outsiders from other towns in the Kingdom of Einbeth, and merchants and travelers from other countries.

This is the bustling commercial district on the outskirts of the royal city.

Such a scene could not be seen in Atlantis.

The northern kingdom of Atlan is second only to the central kingdom of Einbeth in terms of territory among the nations of the Ariel continent, but its land is barren and there is only one city, Atlan, in the entire country. The extremely high and remote location of Atlan further restricts the conditions for the arrival of outsiders.

——No one would normally want to cross the ice and snow to go to that barren land.

However, Li Re was very familiar with such scenes.

Having lived in the royal city for nearly ten years, he couldn't help but speak -

But this is actually normal.

After all, calculate carefully.

It has been less than two months since he left the royal city.

“In fact, there are changes.”

Arisa, who was also walking on the street and in front of Li Re, paused and looked back. The princess with blonde hair and blue eyes fluttered in her long skirt, and the sunlight shone on her delicate eyebrows, as if they were dyed with golden feathers.

She looked at Li Re and said, "At least, the people who rule this country have changed—"

It wasn't her.

Instead.

Became the 'Spiritual King' Li Re.

The Magic King who was expelled two months ago has returned with his people who have nothing. The once high and mighty "Church" has been completely expelled.

Such a change is certainly huge enough.

Such changes...

It was enough to make Arisa happy.

She has been so happy every day these days!

"The future of this world has become increasingly unpredictable - the number of 'possibilities' I have divined is also increasing!"

Arisa said so.

"I don't know what the future holds." Li Re just said, "But I only know that if we don't move faster..."

"We're probably going to be surrounded!"

"?!"

Arisa suddenly came back to her senses, and only then did she realize that the people coming and going on the street were all looking at them - their eyes were filled with doubt, and in an instant, they seemed to be awakened -

"Is it Princess Arisa and His Majesty the Spiritual King?"

"Mr. Li Re, long time no see!"

"Would you like some barbecue, Princess? By the way, you haven't sneaked out of the palace for a long time since you took over the position of His Majesty the King! The same goes for Butler Miss Aili..."

"And my magic lizard minced meat pie, this is Mr. Li Re's favorite!"

"..."

Amid the noisy voices.

It was a crowd that gathered around in an instant.

Arisa shuddered, and then she realized a serious problem - they did not bring any guards with them on this trip, just the two of them... As a 'divination magician', she had no ability to escape the 'siege' of this group of extremely enthusiastic royal city residents!

"Well...you're quite popular too."

Li Re remained calm and composed: "It seems that I have dealt with them a lot!"

Arisa smiled awkwardly.

Would she say that she learned everything from Li Re?

When Li Re was in the royal city, he liked to run out alone after a fight and eat all kinds of food. He almost ate all the delicious food in and outside the royal city. Arisa also followed him and forced Aili to follow him quietly, and ate everything!

To the extent that although she didn't hate people, she didn't like people who had nothing either, and she somehow got a reputation of being "people-friendly".

But these are not important.

The important thing is...

"We have to run!"

Arisa whispered, "Otherwise we might not be able to leave for the whole day—"

But just as her words rang out, they stopped abruptly.

Because she found that... Li Re beside her had disappeared!

"Huh!?" Her Royal Highness the Princess was stunned. She blinked subconsciously and seemed to realize something.

Realized...

"Senior, don't just run by yourself, take me with you too!"

Her Royal Highness the Princess suddenly became panicked!

People on the street were getting closer and closer, and they surrounded her enthusiastically - it was over! Seeing this, Arisa thought that she probably couldn't escape today... Poor her, she had been trying hard to lose weight in order to reunite with senior Li Re - now she was probably going to gain weight again...

"Why are you panicking? I haven't left yet!"

Li Re's voice sounded beside Arisa at the right time.

Immediately, a cluster of green fire surged in the girl's eyes, wrapping her in it as if a curtain had risen.

Arisa only felt a flash before her eyes, and the next second she appeared outside the crowd.

She blinked again, stood in the shadowed corner of the street, and looked at the enthusiastic people on the street surrounding...herself and Li Re?

Magic of teleportation... and illusion?

Arisa came back to her senses and looked to the side in the direction of the sound - a handsome young man with his hands in his pockets and a smile on his face.

"Senior Li Re?"

Li Re said in a natural tone: "You don't think I would leave you alone, do you?"

"I haven't squeezed your value out yet!"

"Uh... Of course not..."

Arisa said with a rather insincere look on her face.

Before he finished speaking, Li Re continued, "Also, the guy who has been secretly following us since we left the palace, come out - I've spotted you a long time ago!"

After hearing this, Arisa was startled.

The sound of footsteps that followed made her eyes widen, and she looked at the figure that appeared in front of her.

"Brother Wang?"

A figure suddenly appeared and walked out from the deeper shadows. His body covered in armor looked unusually tall, and his handsome brows had a solemn look.

At his waist hung a knight's sword.

Between walking.

Li Re, with his muscles tensed, stared at Arisa's side.

He said:

"long time no see..."

"Although you may not remember me—"

"Luther Einbeth." Li Re suddenly uttered his name clearly!

The prince of the Kingdom of Einbeth paused.

He still looked at Li Re, as if a little surprised... He listened to him saying: "Of course I remember you - my memory is not that bad."

"I was deeply impressed by the strong man who could block my attack!" Li Re pointed to his brain.

What he said left Luther Einbeth speechless.

Is this a compliment... or a mockery?

Although Luther did block one of Li Re's moves, that was during his student days - and at that time, Luther Einbeth was already a senior student at the Magic Knight Academy who was about to graduate, while Li Re was only a third-year student at the Royal Magic Academy - he even had to bring a group of people with him to barely block a move that Li Re had casually launched!

of course.

Being able to block a casual move from the Lord of Magic can truly be considered a 'strong man'.

Luther calmed himself down and took a deep breath.

And suddenly said:

"I, Luther Einbeth, challenge His Majesty the Soul King!"

"Brother, you..." Arisa was a little surprised.

But Luther ignored her thought - he never looked at her from beginning to end, but stared at Li Re, the 'young man' who brought him a huge shadow.

"A challenge?"

Li Re smiled and said, "You must have participated in the Central Kingdom's attack on Atlan six days ago, right?"

"Yes!"

Luther nodded, and while nodding, he slowly drew out the long sword from his waist.

Stand still at the corner of this street.

In the shadow, he raised the silver-shining sword in his hand.

He said:

"I thought I could defeat you in that battle and break the shadow of that year."

"I didn't expect I wouldn't even get to see you."

"I also know that I am still far from being your opponent now—not now, and certainly not in the future."

"Now is my only chance."

“Even if the chance is less than one in a billion?” Li Re raised his eyebrows.

"The chance is not even one in a billion!"

Luther Einbeth responded with absolute certainty! His face was filled with reluctance, unwillingness to yield, and unwillingness to give in!

As the first genius of the royal family in Arisa's words, a person who is even followed by the tried 'Justice' and the 'Kingdom Church' Paladin, his life before meeting Li Re was actually extremely brilliant.

He showed a strong talent for magic knight at the age of six. He was promoted to a knight apprentice right after entering the Magic Knight Academy. He was promoted to a formal magic knight at the age of eight. He broke through the intermediate level at the age of ten and reached the high-level knight at the age of twelve. At the age of thirteen, he was already a genuine magic knight. The so-called magic guide means "magic mentor", a magician who has the ability to pass on his own magic and make his family become the "noble class". In the academy, this is already the realm of most teachers who are responsible for teaching students.

On the eve of his graduation at the age of sixteen, he had already reached the end of the Magic Knight and was infinitely close to becoming a 'Great Knight' in the legendary realm!

It can be said.

If it weren't for Li Re, perhaps this era would be named after him. Even if he couldn't be crowned king with magic, at least he would have no problem obtaining a 'title' in the legendary realm.

However, after being easily defeated by Li Re.

Although he was quickly promoted to 'Legend'.

But after that, there was no further progress.

Li Re's existence also loomed over his head like a shadow, becoming his 'inner demon'——

Make him afraid.

It also made him unwilling.

The knight's sword raised high here seemed to illuminate the shadows of the street... and brought up a loud wind!

He took a step forward and said, "'Spirit King' Li Re, welcome the resentment I have buried for four years!"
