Volume 3, Chapter 29 – Someone Trying to Steal the White Sovereign’s Legacy

Meanwhile,

Outside the Tianyin Grand Hall.

Upon learning that her Lianyue had been captured again, young Ailiya obviously lost interest in continuing with the auction.

Considering Lian’s absurd state, Ailiya truly feared that she might cause more trouble.

What if she was bullied and lost her temper?

Then the entire capital city of Clavino might become history.

On the other side, seeing Ailiya’s reaction, Greemir, who had already obtained the incomplete scroll of the Bai Ling Determination, reluctantly nodded and agreed to take Ailiya to the Special Inspection Bureau to see the arrested elven girl.

Of course,

After learning that the President’s family and many high officials’ relatives had been kidnapped, Greemir felt he needed to go understand the situation as well.

After all,

He was one of the five Celestial Augur Knights of the Westivian Covenant.

Although he had been unable to take on missions recently due to serious injuries, Greemir still wanted to do his best to help relieve the country’s burdens.

However, as the two hurriedly made their way to the basement teleportation array, Greemir glanced at Ailiya beside him with some puzzlement.

Hmm?

Strange.

Ailiya usually showed little interest in other things, so why was she so eager to have him take her to see the elf this time?

Moreover, in the current perception of most humans, elves were ominous creatures that devoured souls and twisted others’ consciousness. Most people maintained an attitude of respectful avoidance when facing elves.

But Ailiya was different—her eyes showed no fear at all. Instead, there was even concern?

What was going on?

Greemir wondered inwardly.

Of course,

What concerned him most was still…

“Ailiya, where’s your mother? Is it appropriate for us to just leave like this?”

Clearly, no matter when, Lianna was always Greemir’s primary concern.

Faced with this question, young Ailiya, who had already prepared an answer, smiled calmly:

“Mom found the auction too boring and left early.”

“Lianna-chan left?”

“Yes.”

“Is, is that so…”

Greemir’s handsome face visibly fell with disappointment. He had hoped to use the White Sovereign’s Legacy auction to cheer Lianna up. Unexpectedly, Lianna wasn’t interested at all?

Am I being presumptuous again?

Sigh.

A dejected mood immediately surfaced in the Celestial Augur Knight’s mind.

However,

When Greemir brought Ailiya to the venue’s basement, the “dejection” in his heart was instantly replaced by astonishment.

“Hmm? What’s going on here?”

Upon arriving at the basement, Greemir immediately sensed something unusual.

The basement was too quiet.

The numerous guards who should have been stationed there had all lost consciousness, lying on the ground in deep slumber. The alarm systems installed here had been destroyed, with the ceiling and wall alarm devices all shattered and emitting strands of electric light.

“Ailiya, be careful! Something’s not right!”

White light-attribute spiritual power instantly poured out as Greemir drew the sword at his waist, standing in front of Ailiya and remaining vigilant of the surroundings.

The previously relaxed atmosphere instantly vanished.

Of course,

Ailiya also noticed the abnormal atmosphere in the basement.

And just as the girl was looking around for anything unusual, a feeble plea for help drifted into Ailiya and Greemir’s ears.

“Help, help me…”

“Hmm?”

Following the voice, their gazes turned toward a corner of the wall. There, they saw an extremely weak man gasping for breath while leaning against the corner. Upon seeing Ailiya and the others enter the basement, he immediately called out for help.

Ailiya didn’t recognize this man,

But Greemir immediately identified him as one of the capital’s young nobles who had competed with them for the White Sovereign’s Legacy earlier.

“Xavier! Didn’t you message me earlier saying you’d obtained what you wanted and gone home? Why are you still… what happened here?”

“There, there’s someone…”

“Someone doing what?”

“Someone trying to steal… steal the White Sovereign’s Legacy…”

The man named Xavier clutched his chest and said breathlessly. While panting, he also looked anxiously at Greemir:

“Quick, get me out of here!”

As if recalling some terrifying scene, intense fear welled up in Xavier’s eyes.

Seeing this,

Greemir immediately set aside his dejection, and the steadiness and calmness befitting a Celestial Augur Knight emerged. The blonde man glanced at Ailiya beside him and said rather seriously.

“Let’s get him out of here first. Something’s not right.”

Xavier wasn’t just any ordinary second-generation official; he was the grandson of the Covenant Marshal.

The bodyguards protecting Xavier were definitely not weak.

And now?

Those several Divine Martial Realm bodyguards were lying motionless on the ground like dead dogs. This caused Greemir’s expression to grow grave.

Whoever dared to attack Xavier not only had great courage but must also possess considerable strength.

Their target was undoubtedly the White Sovereign’s Legacy!

Without knowing the specific situation, leaving the basement was undoubtedly the most correct decision.

Ailiya, although eager to go to the Special Inspection Bureau, could only nod reluctantly after sensing the strange atmosphere in the basement.

“Mm.”

Without further words, Greemir flashed to Xavier’s side and immediately hoisted up this extremely weakened young nobleman.

However,

Just as Greemir prepared to leave with him and Ailiya, an unexpected change occurred.

?!!

“What, what is this?!”

The next moment,

Under the slightly uneasy gazes of Greemir and Ailiya, the basement door behind them was suddenly enveloped by black energy. The black energy surged rapidly, weaving into a large net with lightning speed, directly blocking their path like a barrier.

Seeing this, Greemir’s pupils contracted as he seriously turned his gaze toward a pillar to the side:

“Who’s there!! Come out!!”

With his shout, Greemir immediately raised his sword, pointing it fiercely forward.

The person seemed to have no intention of hiding their identity,

And so, under the solemn, vigilant gazes of Greemir and Ailiya, they unhurriedly walked out from behind the stone pillar.

It was a girl wearing a hooded sweatshirt on top and denim shorts on the bottom.

Her figure was light and agile, as if she had merged with the darkness itself.

She wore a strange mask on her face, concealing her true appearance, with only a pair of sharp purple eyes gleaming coldly through the mask’s slits. When those sharp eyes swept over Greemir, the blonde man instinctively shuddered.

But,

In front of his future ‘daughter,’ Greemir couldn’t possibly show any fear.

He had to maintain his imposing image.

“I am Greemir Sevitt, Fifth Seat of the Westivian Covenant’s Celestial Augur Knights. Who are you?!”

Staring at the girl’s face, Greemir asked coldly.

Rеaԁ оn КαtRеaԁіոgCαfe

“You dare infiltrate the auction venue, attack the Marshal’s son, and attempt to steal the White Sovereign’s Legacy?”

Greemir announced his title.

Clearly, he wanted to intimidate the opponent a little with the name of a Celestial Augur Knight.

But without a doubt, Greemir’s idea failed.

Far from being intimidated,

The girl even involuntarily let out a sneer,

“Celestial Augur Knight? With your level… hehe, you’re all insulting the title of Augur.”

“……”

Hearing these words, Greemir instinctively felt a surge of anger. As a Divine Departure Realm expert, he naturally possessed the dignity befitting a powerful being.

After determining that the opponent had no intention of retreating, a trace of coldness flashed across Greemir’s eyes, and his right hand gripped the sword hilt tighter.

“In that case…”

Taking a deep breath, white spiritual power began to gather continuously on the blade, and the surrounding space started to distort under the influence of this spiritual power fluctuation. Without a doubt, Greemir intended to use his technique to defeat and capture the girl before him.

Earlier, uncertain of the opponent’s position, Greemir had considered retreating.

But now?

With the opponent having actively revealed herself, Greemir naturally saw no need to hold back.

“Divine Shock… ?!! Hmm?!!”

However,

Before Greemir could even complete charging his power, the girl’s figure suddenly flashed, cutting through the air like a swift wind, and in an instant had approached Greemir, causing the blonde man’s expression to change abruptly.

“Didn’t anyone teach you… if you’re going to attack, just attack. There’s no need to announce your technique’s name, putting your opponent on guard?”

As soon as the words fell,

The girl kicked Greemir in the abdomen…
