Chapter 428: 427, [Keqing] (Thanks to 1427…5036 for the 20000 reward!)_1
“Let me go! Let me go!” Walnut struggled weakly in the chains.
But it was to no avail, she couldn’t break free from the chains, and as she struggled, the chains only grew tighter.
In the end, her entire body was tightly bound, and it became exceptionally hard to even move a fingertip.
Sylvanas did not even glance at Walnut.
Having caught Walnut, Xi Wa threw her at Su Yu’s feet: “Dispose of her as you please… You can also tell me where the entrance to the Hall of Reincarnation is now, right?”
Hearing Sylvanas’s words, Walnut, who was lying on the ground, was greatly shocked, her face turned pale!
How did these two people know about the existence of the Hall of Reincarnation?
As far as she knew, only she and His Majesty the King of Tivat knew about the Hall of Reincarnation. Could it be that the king had leaked the news?
“The entrance to the Hall of Reincarnation is in the house directly opposite the sixteenth stele in the corridor behind the main hall.” Su Yu pointed towards the depth of Hall of Reincarnation: “The opening spell is: Severance and Annihilation, Reincarnation has no substitute.”
Walnut: “!!!”
She stared wide-eyed at Su Yu in horror, this person even knew the spell?!
Her master had passed the spell to her before his death, as far as she knew, she should be the only one in the world who knew it. How did Su Yu know?
“Hey! How do you know the spell?” Walnut strained to lift her head to look at Su Yu, her heart was filled with growing terror.
“Hehe, I won’t tell you.” Su Yu winked at her.
Walnut: “…”
Sylvanas nodded, transforming into black smoke again and disappearing into the hall.
Su Yu lifted up the fuming Morning Star on his shoulder and tossed it towards Walnut: “I leave her to you.”
“Alright.” Morning Star glared at Walnut angrily.
But she didn’t take the opportunity to kill Walnut.
Morning Star took out a sphere the size of a soybean shining with brilliant starlight, enlarged it to the height of a person with magic, and tossed it towards Walnut.
The sphere quickly reduced in size after covering Walnut and shrunk back to the size of a soybean.
“Morning Star, what are you doing?” Su Yu asked curiously.
“To kill her would be too easy. I’ll take her back and torture her properly.” Morning Star said in a menacing tone.
After all, catching Walnut brought a great deal of satisfaction to Morning Star. She would make Walnut understand what “true cruelty” is!
…
With such a commotion, the high-ranking powerful beings of the Kingdom of Tivat also reacted.
Not long after, outside the main hall of the Hall of Reincarnation, there were many figures. The Reincarnation Sacrifices stood nervously outside the hall, watching anxiously.
They didn’t dare to rashly enter the main hall. After all, their leader was captured alive in a minute. How could they dare to go in and court death?
The high-ranking beings of Liyue Harbor and the capital of the Kingdom of Tivat, Mondstad City, also hurried over here.
There were more and more high-ranking beings. They dispersed the black fog released by Sylvanas and stood in the air, dense and numerous like small black dots.
However, because Mondstad City is far from Liyue Harbor, it took these high-ranking beings two hours to get here.
In the main hall, Morning Star was lying on Su Yu’s shoulder, her tail slightly shaking with nervousness, “Nemesis, what should we do next?”
“It’s simple, let’s go out and meet them.” Su Yu confidently smiled, rushing forward and flying out of the main hall.
Seeing someone come out, the high-ranking beings of Tivat Kingdom projected sharp glances at Su Yu.
Among the high-ranking powerhouses of the Tivat Kingdom, the leading figure is a woman with grey-purple hair and a beautiful face; her strength seemed to be at the initial stage of the seventh rank.
Su Yu didn’t care about offending anyone, and shot an [Insight Skill] at her, revealing her attributes in front of him.
[Keqing]
Level: 80 [Seventh Rank]
Profession: ???
Hobbies: Splurging on shopping sprees.
…
Apart from Walnut, Keqing is the only seventh-rank powerhouse in the Tivat Kingdom. Tivat, after all, is a small country, so having two legendary figures is already quite impressive.
“Stranger.” Keqing raised her long sword and pointed it at Su Yu. “Who are you? Why have you invaded our country?”
There were six or seven warriors of Sanctuary rank or above behind Keqing. They all drew their weapons, ready to take Su Yu down.
However, Su Yu was completely unaffected by these people’s aggression.
He smiled faintly and gave her a mage’s greeting.
“Lady Keqing, I am Nemesis, the Foreign Trade Minister of the Goldfinch Empire. The legendary figure with me is Sylvanas, the general of the Expeditionary Army of the Lai Yin Empire.”
“Nemesis? Are you Nemesis?” Keqing’s gaze turned grave, and the high-ranking powerhouses behind her morale deflated after hearing Su Yu’s self-introduction.
They had of course heard of “Nemesis.” He helped Empress Alyssa unify the Goldfinch Empire and could potentially become the Empress’s lawful husband in the future.
They had of course also heard of Sylvanas – a ruthless villain, a war merchant.
These two, one from the Goldfinch Empire and the other from the Lai Yin Empire. To counter these two empires would be like trying to use a mantis’s arm to stop a chariot!
Keqing exchanged looks with her companions, and they all saw overwhelming despair in each other’s eyes.
After the greeting, Su Yu said solemnly, “Lady Keqing, we haven’t invaded your country. We’ve just come for a legitimate revenge. We haven’t killed anyone from the Hall of Reincarnation, but merely turned them into stone for temporary control.”
“Revenge?” Keqing and the others looked at each other in perplexity, seemingly uncertain.
“Yes, revenge!” Su Yu pointed at Morning Star on his shoulder and said solemnly,
“Three years ago, the leader of the Hall of Reincarnation, Walnut, went to our Kaishi Town to join the rebels….”
Next, Su Yu narrated the whole episode of Walnut using the Rebirth Mark to turn Morning Star into a pet egg.
At the end of his words, he looked fearlessly at the high-ranking powerhouses in front of him, and declared loudly,
“Everything I told you is the truth, and tens of thousands of people can vouch for me! Walnut dared to do such a thing, so she must pay for her actions!”
“So Morning Star and I want to take Walnut back for punishment. This is not an invasion. Please be aware.”
After hearing Su Yu’s words, Keqing and the surrounding high-ranking powerhouses exchanged glances again.
They all knew Su Yu was telling the truth. As the top powerhouse of the Tivat Kingdom, how could they not know what Walnut had done recently?
Not only Walnut, even the Tivat royal family had generously donated a lot of grain and supplies to the Kalet Rebels, it wasn’t a big deal to take sides in war.
Looking at it this way, Su Yu seemed to be following protocol after all.
However, Walnut was still their country’s top powerhouse, and Keqing couldn’t let Su Yu take her away.
So she flew a little closer to Su Yu and said seriously,
“Master Walnut did make mistakes. On her behalf, I formally apologize to your excellency, Morning Star.”
“How about this: I am willing to offer compensation for the harm that Morning Star has suffered. In consideration of our Tivat Kingdom, would you please spare Master Walnut?”
