"You seem to be not confused or surprised. I guess, what they said is true. You have the strength of a Grand Magus… I myself have killed a few Grand Magus, so I'm feeling excited about this fight." The man said as he took a step forward.
In that simple step, his aura suddenly exuded and Shin Jiao could feel that this person is already a level 50 something warrior.
This aura would already intimidate most people, and some would even feel a sense of dread and fear towards this guy. But for Shin Jiao is just look at this man with a calm expression.
He did not know how this man was able to track him, but he has seen him appearing in his spiritual sense ever since he came out of the large courtyard of the Farson noble house. So to find out how this guy was able to track him, he needs to confront the guy.
"Since you have seen me, then there is no need to hide from you then… I am Si Ji… And you are?" Shin Jiao said with a smile.
"Haha… Fearless. Okay, I like that! My name is Ilgor Cheng. I am the best hunter in the capital city… And you, my little brother, are my prey. Hihiii…" the guy said with a jeering laugh.
When the guy named Ilgor saw this, his eyes went wide in excitement.
"You are not only a warrior but also a space mage. This is truly rare… I must get my hand on that ability of yours…" he said as he suddenly attacks waving his long sword.
The man is around 6 feet tall, with an almost bald head and only a long black ponytail hanging behind his head. He has triangular eyes and a tall bridge nose. Wearing a piece of light leather armor, the guy looks like a giant hunter in the wild.
As he rushes towards Shin Jiao a blur of afterimages appears making it looks like there are multiple images of the man attacking Shin Jiao.
Clang!
The loud sound of two metal colliding echoed in the air.
But what is surprising is the retreating figure of the tall man. Using only a dagger, Shin Jiao easily deflected the large sword of his taller opponent.
"Hehe… This is like bullying, but you cannot blame me for this. You are the one who initiated the attack." Shin Jiao muttered, as his figure suddenly vanished.
When he reappears, the man's head is already rolling on the ground with his tall body spraying blood all over the place.
"Alright… On to my next target." Shin Jiao said with a slight smirk on his face.
…
That night, two more noble houses that are hunting him suffered casualties as their elders and patriarchs fall dead with their heads hanging on the huge placard of their estate.
Each severed head is accompanied by a warning, written in blood, just below it. The heads on the other hand would make those that see them feel that those people have been in a state of great fear or pain before dying.
This incident began spreading throughout the capital the next morning which sent everyone and every household in chaos.
In the morning court session, the king is sitting on his throne with a long frown on his face.
Meanwhile, the second prince is kneeling in front of him along with the ministers of the court.
"Your majesty, we implore you to mobilize the entire army of the kingdom to apprehend this lawless bastard!" shouted the second prince as if his heart is filled with anger.
"Yes, your majesty! We implore you to hunt the culprit that did such atrocious things and brings chaos in our fair kingdom!" shouted some of the ministers.
Meanwhile, the king just sits on his throne looking at them with a knitted brow.
"The kingdom is chaotic? The citizen is in unrest? When was there a time when they are not?" the king asked.
"I have been a king for many years now, even before we defeated the believers of the dark god Ruel. When I sit on this throne, was there ever a day that the capital of the kingdom is not in chaos? Who do you think caused this?" the king asked.
"Your majesty! You cannot say such a thing! The noble houses have always supported the kingdom! Without the entire kingdom would be in ruins."
"Yes, you cannot neglect them after they have supported you, your majesty!"
Some of the ministers suddenly cried in response.
"Father, you cannot say such a thing. If the noble houses withdrew their support, then… then, the royal family would be in trouble." The second prince said with a slightly fearful expression on his face.
"Haha… I know that. But the noble houses should also not find trouble for this king. I have been tolerant of their excuses and their whining. But they seem to be not contented. And now they wanted the whole kingdom to be in chaos just because they've lost those pests in their families? Hahaha…" the king said with a chuckle.
The king is a warrior by heart and chaos is something that he seems to love. Battling on the battlefield is the thing that he longs for, ever since he sits on this throne. He has gone bored of the troublesome matters of the court. The endless bickering of these old people just to gain imaginary power and more wealth, made him feel disgusted deep in his heart.
He almost wanted to abdicate this throne to his first son, but he could not as he still has to make sure that the believers of the light should rein the land for a century before the next battle starts.
It sounded a little frustrating, but this is the true cycle of this land.
However, somehow, from somewhere, something has changed. And these changes brought to pass something interesting.
And the king has seen it with his own eyes and has learned of it. And he knows that these changes will break the cycle of war in this world. He did not know if it would have a great effect in the long duration of time, but as the current king, he wanted to also make his people live in harmony for once in their lifetime.
But it seems that some of the noble houses do not like the change. They are trying to stop it; they are trying to hamper the growth of his people. Hence he feels that he did not want to join in this fiasco. He as the monarch would sit by and see what would happen next.
"This king would not interfere with the noble's business. They can do whatever they wanted but in return. I want to also do what I wanted for my kingdom. That is a fair exchange, right?" the king suddenly said with a smile.
"Father… what… What do you mean?" the second prince asked with a hint of confusion.
"The noble house can hunt down the culprit and use the kingdom's military prowess… but in return, I will permit the Mystic Shop merchant group to enter the Capital city and develop… No noble house should hamper their advance, and if they do, then this king would wage war on them… That would be my condition…"
When the ministers and the second prince heard this, they showed confusion in their eyes. In fact, some of the noble houses have already cooperated with the Mystic Shop merchant group. So why is the king giving such a condition as if the noble houses are not permitting the entry of that group in the capital?
However, those in the know frown upon hearing this.
How could they not know what is happening, outside the capital city? The changes that the Mystic Shop has brought to the kingdom, as a whole, are something that no one can guess. And these changes are something that their noble house thought to be a threat to their secret rule of the capital city.
But it seems that the king has already known about this.
Is this a trap set by the king? Or the king just wanted to give his people a good life? The answer to this question is something that they did not want to know.
But they know that if they did not act now, and use the full power of the kingdom military might. Then they could just wait around and sit while they are going to be slaughtered by the mad man named Si Ji.
With gritted teeth, the noble houses nodded their heads and agreed with the king's proposal.
With that, the king's eyes glowed with a hint of craftiness as he smiled in satisfaction.
