Chapter 1018 zodiac City
Emery and Klea walked out of the gate portal into the half-blood’s biggest city.
Once again, the view of multiple half-blood humans, each with their own set of unique features was upon the two and once again Emery was fascinated by it.
“I always find this place to be interesting,” said Klea, followed by a curved smile on her lips.
“Ahh, you really think so?!”
“Well, of course. It’s a beautiful city..” Klea then came up close to Emery, grabbed him tightly by the arm, and whispered, “Well this city is also where we first…”
“Aaa yes, of course!” A hasty statement from Emery was made, cutting off Klea before she could finish her words. In point of fact, it was a bitter-sweet experience for him as it was when Emery hurt the girl and chased after her all night. That was also the very last time he was here.
Apparently, Klea wanted to have a good time while they were in this city. Emery, on the other hand, quietly stayed vigilant about the place.
After all, the headmaster Delbrand did say that it was not advisable to come to this city. On the other hand, that was 2 months ago, and Emery could not wait any longer. He had to put aside the headmaster’s advice as he needed to see the Withe Fang clan in the hope of having a conversation with magus Herogar about the devour law.
That was why, to be on the safe side, Emery should go straight toward the wolf clan hall. The girl, however, grabbed his hand toward the market.
“Emery, there is so much interesting stuff in here!” Said the young lady with a voice brimming with enthusiasm.
“Yes.. yes… But can we please look around afterward?” said Emery anxiously as he looked around here and there.
“Aaa you are no fun…” Klea then confronted him and said, “Don’t worry too much, Emery. Relax.. we are completely safe here.”
However, as if getting an instant reply to his uneasy feeling, a dozen Zodiac city guards came approaching them from two sides immediately. They were the Tiger guards, which was the city’s elite warrior.
“Emery Ambrose.. You are coming with us,” said one of the guards in a commanding tone.
It was also at this time that Emery caught a glimpse of Klea’s whirly smile as she apologized and said, “Oops.. my bad.”
Emery could only let out a heavy sigh in response. He can’t help to think that Klea’s words had jinx in it, or maybe this was the consequence he had to take for not listening to the headmaster’s words.
After that, the two were escorted by the guards into the upper area of the city, A restricted area that was filled with dozens of buildings near the palace.
“Where are you going to take us?”
There was no answer. The tiger guard did not give any single response to the girl’s question and appeared to be fierce as always.
Klea then whispered to Emery, “Could they be the part of the.. you know… the half blood rebels…” the girl said it with a little giggle. She then continued by saying, “I didn’t get involved last time, finally now I am.”
“Klea, I think it’s better if we don’t talk about it.” Emery thought that the rebellion by the head of Bloodline institute itself was not something to spur out casually, especially when they were in the Zodiac city
Soon enough, they were brought to one of the big houses that were perched on top of the hill, and once they entered inside, a female magus had been waiting on the balcony while gazing down on the magnificent city.
The woman was a powerful peak stage full moon magus, and the fact that she had two rough horns and scaly skin, Emery and Kela were quick to figure out that she’s a dragon bloodline warrior.
The female magus shifted her attention to Emery with interest and said, “So you are the Emery Ambrose?”
Although the atmosphere somehow felt tense for him, Emery, however, did not feel threatened by the situation in any way, and he politely responded to the female magus with a little bow,
“Yes Magus, I am him.”
“Good, I need you to wait here for a while, and please, it will be rude for you to leave.”
Emery thought that the magus seemed aware of his space magic, which was why she warned him. However, she didn’t give an explanation and just left the two of them, which caused him to become even more confused.
Klea, on the other hand, maintained her composure and like always said to reassure him, “Don’t worry, I am sure it’s nothing bad, or else they wouldn’t let us wait in such a nice place.”
The Egyptian queen made herself comfortable by getting some fresh fruit on the table and sitting around on the balcony.
If only Emery could have some of Klea’s confident and easy-going attitude, things would be much easier. At least that’s what he thought at the moment. Fortunately, Emery had nothing urgent to do right now. All he could do was hope that nothing bad would come from this. He, after all, already had too many problems as it is.
Hours have passed and it appeared whoever it was they were waiting for, had no trouble keeping them waiting. Emery turned to wonder who he would actually meet. However, not long after that, Emery could sense dozens of people coming over the place.
“Soldiers!”
When they were finally able to get closer, Emery just realized that they were actually a group of guards, royal guard to be exact, which caused both of them to suddenly come to a realization of who actually they were going to meet.
There was the female dragoon bloodline magus from before, but the figure that came with her had such great power, much stronger than all the people Emery had ever met, a supreme magus level individual.
A man in long white hair cascades with majestic black armor, two small horns on the forehead and a pair of crimson eyes staring at him
It was the lord of Zodiac city himself, King Alduin.
Emery was too stunned to speak when he saw the figure coming at him. Simply being in his presence was enough to make both Emery and Klea unconsciously kneel. The king walked past him toward the balcony, he then turned and the female magus dismissed all the guards and also came to grab Klea’s away.
Seeing Emery’s anxious reaction, the king spoke “I prefer that we speak in private.”
