Chapter 289: The Banter Between Lord Night and Lord Shadow
Chapter 289: The Banter Between Lord Night and Lord Shadow
On their way back to the Mage Sword Academy, Jagger and Rxu were in high spirits, already fantasizing about giving the limited-edition chocolate to a certain woman and winning her favor.
But Sida, who was walking at the back, quickly sensed the aura of battle nearby, including a familiar presence. He immediately halted in his tracks.
"Sida, what's wrong? If we don't hurry, we'll be late and get demerits for not returning to the Academy on time."
Seeing Sida's sudden stop, Jagger and Rxu turned to look at their "best friend." After all, if it weren't for Sida's good luck, they wouldn't have been able to buy the chocolate so smoothly.
"You guys go ahead. I suddenly feel a stomachache..."
Unable to come up with a better excuse, Sida had no choice but to make up a random reason to deal with the two supporting characters before him.
Jagger and Rxu, Sida's "soulmates," assured him that they would never abandon him, even in his most embarrassing moments. But as they spoke, their feet moved at an astonishing speed, quickly leaving Sida behind...
After the two departed, Sida quickly sidestepped into a dimly lit alley and changed into his "Lord Shadow" disguise.
In the dark alley, several figures in black robes wielding long swords cornered Alexia, repeatedly declaring, 'I am from Shadow Courtyard' as they attacked her.
Although these figures in black robes were of average strength, their numbers and the narrow alley gave them an advantage. After Alexia slashed down a couple of them, she soon exposed an opening and was attacked from behind.
"Ding——————!"
"Alexia, it's the middle of the night. Please stay in the Academy and don't run around.
The recent turmoil has just subsided, and no one knows if the Diablos Cult has given up on targeting you. If you go missing again, I might have to take the blame once more."
As a black-robed figure swung their sword towards Alexia's back, a white-haired youth suddenly intervened, blocking the attack. With a twist of his wrist, he effortlessly sent the sword flying from the attacker's hand.
"I am from Shadow Courtyard. Those who resist us..."
Before the black-robed figure could finish their line, Yecheng's foot made direct contact with his face.
Several teeth flew into the air, and the figure was sent flying like a cannonball, accompanied by a gust of wind!
"With your level of skill, you dare to impersonate members of Shadow Courtyard? The Diablos Cult is truly shameless. Even if they want to frame someone, they should at least find more competent actors."
Yecheng was also a student at the Mage Sword Academy, and theoretically, he should have been in the Academy at this time, prohibited from going out.
However, Yecheng was not only a student at the Mage Sword Academy but also a knight in the Royal Knight Order.
Due to the recent unrest in the capital, he occasionally had night patrol shifts.
Yecheng initially had no desire to take on such menial tasks, and he had refused both his title and the offer to join the Royal Knight Order.
But Alice seemed to have anticipated this, and before informing Yecheng of these duties, she sent the relevant documents to the Omega Territory. When his mother, Medis, who was in the Omega Territory, saw how capable her son was, she couldn't help but feel proud. He had barely been in the capital for long before achieving such remarkable feats.
Alice's letter praised Ye Cheng, and Medis felt a sense of pride. With a grand gesture, she accepted the noble title and the invitation to join the Knight Corps on Ye Cheng's behalf.
Ye Cheng was only fifteen years old and not yet fully an adult, so his family had the right to make decisions for him.
Medis also thought there was nothing wrong with joining the Knight Corps. Ye Cheng had only been in the capital for a short time and had already obtained the title of Viscount.
Compared to her husband, Medis felt that her son was far superior.
Gais had been working for so long and was still only a Baron in a rural area, while her son, Ye Cheng, had quickly become a Viscount after arriving in the capital.
Even in a rural place like this, Alice Midgar was known as a stunningly talented princess.
If Ye Cheng could receive such high praise from her, wouldn't it only be a matter of time before he soared to success? This was also why Ye Cheng was on night patrol, leading to this unexpected encounter.
"They're not from the 'Shadow Courtyard,' they're just impersonating them?"
Seeing Ye Cheng's sudden appearance, Alexia heaved a sigh of relief. But when she heard his words, she was surprised and asked, "Isn't that obvious? Although I don't know much about the 'Shadow Courtyard,' I do know that its members are all demon-possessed."
It's common knowledge that demon-possessed individuals are all women, right? Do these attackers look like women to you?"
Hearing Ye Cheng's words, Alexia rolled her eyes. The attackers were obviously men; she wasn't blind.
"The members of the 'Shadow Courtyard' are demon-possessed, so they're all women. But what about Shadow..."
Before Alexia could finish, Ye Cheng, clad in his knight's armor, had already taken down most of the Diabros Cult members. He even had the leisure to turn and respond to Alexia's question, "Oh, you mean the leader of the 'Shadow Courtyard'?
Shadow is the only male in the 'Shadow Courtyard.' The remaining few hundred members are all young and beautiful women.
Alexia, you must have met Shadow, right? Don't be fooled by his serious and cool demeanor; he's just a guy with a high-class act.
According to my questionable intelligence sources, Shadow is actually a pure pervert. The 'Shadow Courtyard' is his crystal palace, built to collect beautiful women from all over the world.
Can you imagine? Such a massive organization, and every member is female, except for the leader. It's suspicious, isn't it?"
Ye Cheng and Sida's mutual teasing was a common occurrence. That jerk must have been up to something with Kreya, and now Ye Cheng was taking the opportunity to throw some dirt on Sida.
"Is Shadow like that? But the sword he used earlier was so dazzling. A person's swordsmanship reflects their character, and I couldn't see any signs of the pervert you described."
"Naive, too naive, Alexia. A sword can be disguised too. Just because you've seen one side of Shadow, how can you be sure he's not more than meets the eye?"
