/ A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 536
Chapter 536: Chapter 397: Zhi Jingxiang's Revenge_1 Chapter 536: Chapter 397: Zhi Jingxiang's Revenge_1 According to Wu Luze, Zhi Jingxiang had indeed helped him a lot. But Zhi Jingxiang didn't help for free, she had made a deal with Wu Luze.
“She asked me to use the Ice Flame's intelligence network to help her find a person named Rakaru.”
“Rakaru? What is she looking for this person for?”
“I do not know about that, it seems not to be something good…”
Speaking up to here, Wu Luze sighed.
“At that time I didn't think much about it, but later I did find four people named Rakaru in the intelligence network. One is a common old man, one is an adventurer, and another one is a bachelor…”
Well, it's definitely not one of these. So who was the last one?
“This…….”
Wu Luze hesitated for a moment.
“The last one is Seth's high-ranking magician Rakaru. And after Jing Jingxiang got this news, she went straight out to find him…”
“Wait, when did this happen?”
“Just these few days.”
“Has she gone mad?”
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai was dumbfounded.
“The Demon Clan has nearly occupied two-thirds of Seth's territory. If she goes out to find people now, isn't this a death road?”
“I said the same thing, but Miss Jingjing insists…”
“It's really killing me…”
Having heard Wu Luze's report, Duanmu Huai was speechless. If it was someone else, it would've been a suicide, and Duanmu Huai wouldn't have cared. But Jing Jingxiang is different, she is Maria's good friend. And Maria is now an important member of the Tribunal. If Jing Jingxiang died, there would be a lot of trouble.
“Where did she go?”
“It seems like… Jumping Tower.”
Good grief, she actually went to the Royal City. Duanmu Huai had withdrawn from there and naturally knew the situation. At that time, most of the people in the Royal City had gone up to the Sky City, and the rest were only the die-hards, followed by the Demon Army. Jing Jingxiang, although an excellent magician, was just that, excellent, bog-standard. Never mind the Demon Apostle, if she encountered a slightly larger Demon Army, she would be done for.
“Forget it, I'll take Ogis to see the situation.”
Of course, Duanmu Huai couldn't just let Jing Jingxiang go to her death. At least, he needed to see her alive and see her dead body. Otherwise, how could he explain to Maria when he got back?
Out of helplessness, Duanmu Huai had to make this decision. Then he found Ann and Greiya and entrusted the matter to them. Hearing that Jing Jingxiang was currently in a dangerous situation, they were also tense. They were not familiar with Jing Jingxiang, but they had seen and talked to her in the Tribunal. Therefore, they were naturally worried.
“Should we help, Sir Knight?”
“There's no need. I can take Ogis. You guys can help by staying here. The Demon Army is currently approaching and may attack the city at any time. You and Greiya staying here will be enough to resist the Demon Army. But be careful with the Demon….”
Duanmu Huai explained the Demon's invincible barrier to them while speaking. Hearing about this outrageous thing, Ann and Greiya were also puzzled.
What the hell is Invincible Barrier, it won't get hurt no matter how you attack it, isn't this too outrageous!
“In short, if you come across something that you can't defeat no matter how hard you try, notify me right away. Of course, if I encounter it, I'll just slaughter it on the spot.”
After all, Duanmu Huai was about to return to the Royal City, and he might have a higher chance of encounters with the Demon. If that was the case, that'd be great. Duanmu Huai could either just slice the Demon, or experiment whether his Demon Beast Trainer role had any effect on the Demon.
Now that he knew about it, Duanmu Huai didn't want to stay long. Besides, the Sky City was here, with Ann and Greiya added, there'd be no problem — of course, he also told both of them that if they really encountered a Demon and couldn't defeat it, they could retreat via the Sky City's teleportation portal without losing face.
But before that, Duanmu Huai asked King Gandhi about the situation, and King Gandhi also informed Duanmu Huai that there was indeed one of the Four Heavenly Kings named Naji Ze Rakaru. However, she was a young girl, possibly even younger than Jing Jingxiang, so Jing Jingxiang must not be looking for her, which meant it could be her father's case.
But this one of the Four Heavenly Kings didn't retreat with them, and no one knew where she went. Receiving this answer, Duanmu Huai was speechless. So it looked like he could only make a trip to the Jumping Tower.
Then Duanmu Huai took Ogis and returned to the Sky City. Through the teleportation portal, he got a Night Raven Black Star Gunboat from the Tribunal Mothership — this was also Maria's masterstroke after she took office. After all, Duanmu Huai didn't have a reliable weapons expert before, so the most Kukulu could do was to make some guns and ammunition. But now, with Maria here, the Void Dockyard could also be used to manufacture mechanical equipment like tanks and gunboats.
So Duanmu Huai finally could travel around with the Night Raven Black Star…which showed just how important Maria really was to him.
So, Jing Jingxiang, you mustn't die!
Driving the Night Raven Black Star, Duanmu Huai sped forward and arrived outside the Royal City at the Jumping Tower in no time. Looking from a distance, the Royal City was already a far cry from when Duanmu Huai first saw it, the whole city was in ruins, with only the central Royal City area still intact. The Demon Soldiers were running rampant everywhere. However, Duanmu Huai didn't intend to stay here for long. He circled above the Royal City and then headed towards the Jumping Tower.
Meanwhile, chaos prevailed inside the Jumping Tower.
“Flame Arrow!!”
Zhi Jingxiang raised her hand, and a flame shot from it, striking the demon in front of her. The demon shrieked in horror and fell to the ground, becoming a lifeless body.
“Ha… …Ha…”
Zhi Jingxiang at this moment, was drenched with sweat. Her eyes were cold and determined, with bloodstains all over her. The long robe of the magician she was wearing was in tatters, and the hat that she had originally worn on her head was nowhere to be found. Indeed, the journey so far had been fraught with danger for Zhi Jingxiang, just as Duanmu Huai had guessed. After the Demon Clan had taken over the territory of Seth, this area was riddled with rampant Demon Armies and even squads formed by some mobs.
On her way, Zhi Jingxiang had encountered many dangers, even threats to her life, but in the end, she had gritted her teeth and made it through.
Because she hadn't achieved her goal yet!
But even after reaching the Jumping Tower, her path was still filled with numerous obstacles.
Demon soldiers were everywhere here, yet despite this, Zhi Jingxiang chose to move forward. She continued towards the top of the tower, one step at a time, another step, and then another…
“Uh…”
Finally, perhaps due to extreme fatigue or weakness, Zhi Jingxiang felt her legs give way, and she toppled backward!
At this moment, Zhi Jingxiang's heart was full of sadness and anger.
Was it over?
However, just as Zhi Jingxiang closed her eyes, preparing to endure the pain of the impact, she suddenly felt a large hand on her back, stopping her fall!
Then, a voice resounded.
“Phew, you nearly gave me a fright. I'm glad I made it in time.”
“Huh?”
Upon hearing the voice, Zhi Jingxiang opened her eyes, and when she saw Duanmu Huai's big face right before her, she couldn't help but twitch —- Well, no wonder, any girl would react this way if they suddenly opened their eyes to such a face.
“I mean, what the hell are you trying to do?”
Looking at the blood and holes in Zhi Jingxiang's clothes, Duanmu Huai also found it hard to understand.
“I learned about your situation from Wu Luze and rushed over… What were you doing here looking for someone? Even if he were here, he'd probably be dead already.”
“He must not die!”
Upon hearing what Duanmu Huai had to say, Zhi Jingxiang abruptly clenched her fist and forcibly shook off Duanmu Huai.
“It must be me… I must be the one who kills him!”
“…So it's for revenge.”
Before, Duanmu Huai had no idea why Zhi Jingxiang was looking for this person named Rakaru. But now, seeing Zhi Jingxiang in this state, he was beginning to get the picture.
“Do you have a grudge against him?”
“………”
“You'd better tell me about it, or I won't let you go.”
“Uh…”
Upon hearing this, Zhi Jingxiang clenched her teeth, trying to break free from Duanmu Huai's grasp, but it was all in vain as Duanmu Huai held on tightly. After realizing that she couldn't break free, Zhi Jingxiang finally bowed her head.
“He is my… irreconcilable enemy!”
Then, Zhi Jingxiang went on to narrate the story of her feud with the man named Rakaru to Duanmu Huai.
To Duanmu Huai's surprise, Zhi Jingxiang was originally a citizen of Seth, and the daughter of a high-ranking official of Seth. Logically, if nothing had gone wrong, she should have been living the life of a first-class citizen, just like Majeko.
But the problem lay here.
A certain man had taken a fancy to Zhi Jingxiang's mother. As a result, he killed Zhi Jingxiang's father, took possession of her mother by force, and sold off Zhi Jingxiang, who had lost her parents. In the end, she arrived in Free City after many twists and turns.
Zhi Jingxiang knew little about that man, only that he was very powerful and was named Rakaru.
She came to Seth with Duanmu Huai this time, just to find that man, to avenge the death of her parents!
