Assassin's Chronicle - Chapter 227

Chapter 227

Sneferu’s hands were shaking, and his steps were heavy . He slowly walked into a civilian’s house . The civilian’s house looked normal from the outside, but highly secured inside . Over a dozen swordsmen and four mages stood in formation in the living room to protect the old man sitting in the middle of the sofa .

"Sneferu, you are back . " That old man stood up with a smile . He was not tall and a little chubby . He wore a gold-colored gown . Royal families in different countries liked to pick a color to be their family color to show their royal family identity . It was interesting to see they all chose the shiny gold color . Regular people could not wear this kind of gown . They got serious punishment for that . The punishment could be as serious as the death penalty .

"Master, I…" Sneferu faltered . He had patted himself on the chest to show his commitment to invite General Miorich over . No one would think Miorich did not want to talk to him after he just retired from Miorich’s bodyguard squad a few days ago . What a world . Sneferu was angry and resentful about it . He was also sentimental about the world .

"Haha . General Miorich just came to Violet City and must feel tired . It made sense if he did not want to come to socialize . Sneferu, don’t make it too personal . " Sneferu smiled, but his smiles were forced .

Marquis Djoser had been to Sacred City when he was young . He never went back there again because he felt depressed over there . In terms of nobility titles, those government officials’ titles were a lot lower than his . The two prime ministers were only earls . Only a few people had the same title as he did, but he had to forget about his title and please people with smiles . That was because he had no power or influence in the Sacred City . Marquis Djoser went back to his hometown after his inheritance ceremony was over . He would rather be the head in a small place than at the bottom in a big city . No one would show any disrespect to him on this piece of land .

Obviously, he ran into the same problem this time . Miorich did not show any respect to him . If only Miorich had disrespected him, he could take it . He was not stupid . Miorich commanded a military of over one hundred thousand soldiers . He knew a marquis title could not compare with a general with the highest military power to constrain others . However, he could not take the challenge from a young man . Anfey had killed his son on the street the first time he came to Violet City . Anfey had proclaimed the cruel and bloody war against him . He had to make powerful strikes to counter Anfey .

"Master, I am going to see General Miorich tomorrow again . Don’t worry . I’ll handle it," Sneferu said slowly .

Miorich knew his followers well . He had said it clearly, but Sneferu did not seem to get it .

"Don’t worry . " Marquis Djoser waved his hand with a smile . "Oh, right, Sneferu, did you invite your companions over . I just sent people out to check . Miorich’s bodyguard squad was still standing there on the street . They have travelled dozens of miles . They must be exhausted . I will ask my people to help them so they could take turns resting . "

Snefuru’s face looked even worse when Marquis Djoser mentioned the bodyguard squad . The bodyguard squad had looked excited to see him when he showed up in front of them . They all surrounded him and joked and laughed with him . They looked weird after he was kicked out by Miorich . No one from the bodyguard squad led him out . They looked indifferent to him as well .

"Never mind, never mind . " Marquis Djoser knew his previous plan had failed when he saw Snefuru’s face . "Senefuru, you go upstairs to get some rest . I will call you when I need you . "

"Yes, Master . " Snefuru felt he had lost face and did not want to stay any longer . He turned half around and walked out from the side door .

Seeing Snerufu walking away, Marquis Djoser suddenly said, "Did you just say Anfey’s sword skill was very special?"

"Yes, master . I have collected information about Anfey, but no one could give a definite answer as to how powerful Anfey is because whoever has fought with Anfey has died," the swordsman said in a low voice . "Anfey’s sword skill looked dreamy and not practical, but he could kill his opponent in a very short time . He is a Magic-Combat-Twin discipliner . Magic-Combat-Twin discipliners usually can master only one element, but he can control several elements . His practices have been kept secret . Evil Mist is interested in him as well . They have sent two people to catch Anfey, but both of them got killed by him . They sent a very powerful one to catch him for the third time, but Anfey has left with Saul’s students before Evil Mist people reached Sacred City . "

"Anfey also has a little unicorn . A maid in the Garden Hotel said Master Shamash wanted to take the little unicorn away in the name of the magic academy after he saw the little unicorn," a mage said .

"Shut up!" Marquis Djoser said coldly . He only wanted to know how he could take revenge on Anfey right now instead of getting to know what happened the other day . For Marquis Djoser, it was not important who started the fight and whose fault was it at this point .

In the study of the garrison residence, the talk between Miorich and Anfey had approached the end . Miorich looked relaxed, but he suddenly talked about the birthplace of Anfey again . "Anfey, you have become so powerful with the memory left in you when you were young . Our king thinks that anonymous old man might be the only top power to go to Sacred State . "

"Really? Sacred State?" Niya opened her eyes wide . She thought her father was the most powerful person in the world . She did not believe anything to be real in the legends . She even thought the barns were made up and they never existed . She was startled to suddenly hear that there was a person in this world who had been to Sacred State .

Suzanna and Christian were startled as well . They looked at Anfey and then Miorich, waiting to know the answer .

"Well, I do not know about that, but I do know he is very powerful," Anfey smiled .

"More than powerful!" Miorich let out a slight sigh . "Ernest told Master Saul that he has learned a lot from you . It is unbelievable to hear that a master swordsman had learned from a person with another kind of sword skill . "

"Unfortunately, I did not get the chance to learn more from him," Anfey said .

"I was curious how Yagor could take you away from a person who has been to Sacred State . " Miorich asked .

"I was really unlucky . He was in the state of Samadhi, and did not know what happened around him," Anfey said .

"Samadhi?" Miorich asked nervously . The face of Miorich changed . As a Gold Knight, he really hoped to learn more about Sacred State, anything could give him some inspiration .

"Is it the way you practice everyday?" Niya asked .

"Yes," Anfey said .

"Niya, how did Anfey practice?" Miorich urged .

"Anfey sat in a weird way and he could sit for a whole day without moving . " Niya stood up and looked for an area to try to show it to Miorich . "People in Anfey’s legion were curious about Anfey’s practice and tried it on their own . They could only sit for a little while before their legs were getting sore, stiff and painful . They had to give it up . "

Niya walked next to a desk and took a seat cross-legged . She gritted her teeth . Her bones were already stiff at her age . Without training, it would definitely hurt to sit with legs crossed .

"What benefits do you get from this practice?" Miorich’s eyes brightened . He wanted to give a try right now, but he felt awkward to do it in front of these young people . He had to go back to his own room to try it .

"Enough, enough," Niya complained . She used her hands to remove one leg off the other leg . Luckily, she did not wear a dress today .

"I do not know what benefits I could get . I am just used to this practice since I was little," Anfey said bitterly .

"Anfey could sit like this for a long time . The longest record is two days . He could immediately walk after it . My God," Niya spoke in exaggeration . Some people could not stay in that position for very long, even if they tried hard . They gritted their teeth to try staying longer in that position . They wobbled after they gave up that position . Niya thought it was a miracle that Anfey could walk after he finished his practice .

"It is nothing . That old man could sit for a month without food, drink or talk . I was too young back then . I even thought he died . "

Miorich looked startled this time . He was most surprised by the fact that an old man could live without food or drink for a month . "Is he a human?" He thought to himself .

"Anfey, why did he stay in that village?" Miorich asked .

"He said he wanted to challenge Tao," Anfey said .

"What is Tao?" Miorich asked .

"I do not know . It seemed to be the next level he was going to advance to," Anfey said .

Miorich almost went crazy . Sacred State was far out of his reach, while that old man wanted to advance to the next level . What would he be? God?

"Ok, let’s talk about something else . " Miorich lifelessly waved his hand . He laid his eyes on Christian, "Christian, can we…"

"Let’s talk here . " Christian woke up from the shock . He glanced at Anfey and smiled, "This guy has guessed who I am . "

"You? Who are you? Why does it sound so secretive?" Niya was about to go crazy . Suddenly many secrets came at once, and she did not seem to be able to handle it .

"Why did you disobey the king’s orders several times? Christian, it is not doing you any good to do that . I think you understand that too . " After Anfey got into big trouble, in order to ensure Christian and Niya’s safety, Yolanthe had sent Steger, the dean of the magic academy, to see them . Of course, Miorich moved away so he did not ask these questions in front of Anfey .

"It was too boring to study magic . I liked the adventurous life I had with Anfey," Christian said casually . Christian actually did not tell the truth . Anfey was grateful for what Saul had done for him . He had to take everyone to run away to protect the students and family of Saul . Christian had stayed at Saul’s house for about ten years . He built relationships with Saul and his peers . He had an even stronger sense of responsibility than Anfey . He was afraid Steger would take him away for his own safety . He would never forgive himself if that happened . Therefore, he refused to see Steger and chose to be with his peers in that difficult time .

Miorich went quiet for a while . "Young people usually have their own opinions . It does not matter what I tell you . Ok . We should go out now . " Miorich slowly stood up .
