Roya glanced at the petite and adorable Sylphie, shook his head, and Sylphie showed a disappointed expression.
However, Hilfi quickly concealed this expression, as it was an extremely impolite one.
Roya and Sylphie didn't have much to talk about, so they didn't have much contact. They just chatted casually for a few minutes, and then Roya told Sylphie that Rudius had been doing quite well lately, before ending their conversation.
Silphie usually stays at home for half a day, and her appearance time is not fixed; sometimes it is in the morning, and sometimes it is at noon.
Perhaps because it was too early, Silphie was not among the crowd.
Luo Ya wasn't particularly concerned about farewells. He nodded to everyone and prepared to leave.
He pulled Aisha away, bent down and said to her, "Aisha, you have to do your best."
He then revealed two rows of white teeth and reached out to stroke the girl's red ponytail.
Aisha stared blankly at Luo Ya, and finally couldn't help but want to pounce on him.
Roya was really at a loss when it came to children. Fortunately, Lilia, who was standing to the side, grabbed Aisha's arms, lifted her up, and whispered something in Aisha's ear with a blank expression. Aisha was slightly stunned, and then, as if she had thought of something, she actually held back her tears.
With Aisha no longer bothering him, Roya breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, Roya was inexplicably powerless against his younger sister.
Having left home, I followed the road, walked along the path, past the pear trees planted in the front yard, preparing to embark on my journey once more.
Watching Roa's departing figure, Kanroji Mitsuri shouted loudly at him, "Hey, Roa, I'll wait for you to come back."
Luo Ya waved his hand, carrying his bundle on his back, and walked away into the distance.
The perspective shifts, and Luo Ya, carrying a heavy burden, feels somewhat sentimental.
The girl is already so grown up, and Paul and Senis's family are all doing well; it seems like everything is fine.
There weren't many farmers working in the fields in the morning. Roya felt the magic flowing in the air and looked behind him.
Luo Ya was speechless. To avoid trouble, the stupid dragon simply rested in the woods behind it.
Putting everything else aside, Roya really does need to use the other party.
Since it was daytime, to avoid trouble, Roya decided to walk a distance himself and keep the silly dragon from wandering around.
Luo Ya was incredibly fast; his figure blurred into afterimages, and he vanished from the spot in just a few breaths.
The forest isn't far from here; it's quite large, after all, even a dangerous species like the Crimson Dragon can find rest there.
When Roya found the Crimson Dragon, he discovered that the dragon was teasing a trembling, frightened demon wolf.
The demon wolf's four legs trembled and it kept shaking. The red dragon looked at the demon wolf with curious eyes and gently poked it with its dragon claws.
Luo Ya was speechless for a moment.
When Roya appeared in front of the red dragon, the dragon instinctively shuddered, then its body trembled and it immediately and skillfully bowed down in the direction Roya was standing.
Without wasting any more words, Roya said to the Crimson Dragon, "Take me to the Kingdom of Xilong."
Red Dragon tilted his head, grabbed the trembling demon wolf, and stuffed it into his mouth. In just one bite, the demon wolf was swallowed without even whimpering.
He moved quickly; you could tell he'd done this kind of thing a lot.
Roya was too lazy to bother with the other party's nonsense. He got up and leaped onto the dragon's spine. Because of the scales on the red dragon's back, it wasn't as comfortable as he had imagined. Roya moved forward and got next to the red dragon's head, then reached out and tapped the dragon's head.
The red dragon flapped its wings, its scales shimmering red under the sunlight.
Roya shouted to the red dragon, "Take off, fly higher!"
Red Dragon obediently complied and flew into the sky. When he looked down from below, his territory was just a small dot. Then, Roya took a map and identified the location of the Kingdom of Xilong on it.
Although the Kingdom of Xilong is a small country, it is an ancient country with a history of about two hundred years.
In a world where history unfolds in millennia, two hundred years might seem like a relatively recent number. However, this is because, in the war four hundred years ago, all human nations except for the Kingdom of Asra and the Holy Kingdom of Milis had perished.
The southern part of the Central Continent is a fertile land, but until the Kingdom of Wanglong ruled the southernmost part about three hundred years ago, it was always a region of fierce conflict.
Because of its early alliance with the Kingdom of Wanglong, which prevented it from being annexed, but due to the vast difference in national strength, it became a de facto vassal state, with its economy controlled to some extent. The Kingdom of Xilong was essentially used as a buffer zone between the Kingdom of Wanglong and the conflict zone.
Because they serve as buffer zones and are vulnerable to war at any time, the cities of the Kingdom of Xilong are surrounded by thick city walls.
These walls were much taller than those in the territory ruled by Philip.
After Luo Ya identified the location of the Xilong Kingdom, he sent the Crimson Dragon to fly towards it.
Even with a creature like the Crimson Dragon, it still took a considerable amount of time.
The distance between the Kingdom of Xilong and the Kingdom of Asra is not short.
To avoid being seen by humans and alerting other countries, Roya went to great lengths to find a way.
Unfortunately, every country attaches great importance to anything that flies in the sky, especially S-class dangerous species like the Crimson Dragon.
After all, there are cases of dragons or other creatures causing havoc in human cities.
Roya channeled his magic into his eyes and looked down.
There are many mazes in the vicinity of this country; the mazes are complex and numerous, and the surrounding area is almost entirely filled with mazes of this type.
Along the way, you can see many agile adventurers.
Many adventurers make exploring dungeons their primary occupation. Paul, Senis, and Gilead, for example, used to be.
It seems that Luo Qixi also spent some time exploring the maze.
The reason he was hired as a court magician by the Kingdom of Xilong this time was because he solved a rather difficult maze, which is why the Kingdom of Xilong took notice of him.
In reality, Roya was somewhat worried about Loki. After all, although Loki's age was greater than the combined ages of Paul and Roya, given Loki's personality, it was hard not to worry about her.
In reality, Luo Qixi does give people a very unreliable feeling, and there is always the illusion that she will fail at a crucial moment.
Roya was also pondering how to approach the Kingdom of Xilong. Rush in on a dragon would give the impression that he was there to provoke them, but if he simply walked over slowly, Roya didn't want to waste so much time.
Luo Ya began to ponder whether the Kingdom of Xilong had any experts. After thinking about it, he felt that he should keep a low profile.
Loki's status is that of a court magician. Magicians of this caliber are not easy to meet; one might not even be able to get through the gate before being kicked out.
But thinking about it, why should I report it? I could have easily gone undercover.
After thinking for a moment, Roya decided to take this action.
With Roya's strength, he could easily infiltrate even the capital city.
Without much talk, Roya had the Crimson Dragon stay in a forest. Although the Kingdom of Xilong had many mazes, forests were something that existed in every country.
The red dragon hovered in mid-air and then leaped directly downwards.
The howling wind whipped against Roya's cheeks, scattering his long hair. Roya felt the weightlessness of leaping from a great height, a strange sense of exhilaration.
Luo Ya clicked his tongue. No wonder so many people liked bungee jumping in his previous life.
The speed increased rapidly, and soon Roya became a black dot, crashing down to its current location.
The red dragon hovered in mid-air, its wings flapping incessantly. It looked down at Roya's descent, wanting to unleash a breath of dragon fire upon him.
But when he saw Roya fall to the middle, his speed suddenly stopped, and he just floated slowly in the air.
The wind element gathers below to counteract the impact of its own gravity.
Finally, Roya slowly floated down to the ground.
The forest was very wide, and because it was the season when summer and autumn were intertwined, the insects around were particularly active.
The insects in this other world are mostly bizarre in shape. Many arthropods whose names he didn't know were crawling on the trees. Luo Ya felt a chill just from glancing at them casually.
Ignoring the insects, it ran off towards the distance.
-
Latakia, the capital of the Kingdom of Silon.
After crossing the city walls and entering the city, Roya initially thought there were no powerful adventurers around, but it now seems that Roya's idea was somewhat flawed.
Indeed, the Kingdom of Xilong is not considered powerful, but because of the labyrinth, many powerful adventurers have gathered around it.
Of course, the so-called strength is relative, and most of these adventurers would just stand by and watch if something really happened to the country.
When Roya walks down the street, her striking appearance naturally draws attention.
When these adventurers noticed Roya, they all paused for a moment instinctively. Some of the bolder female adventurers directly flirted with him, saying, "Hey, kid over there, still a virgin, huh? Want me to teach you a lesson?"
Adventurers are creatures like that; smooth talk is essential for them. Of course, if you actually nod or casually say "okay," the other person will take it seriously.
In this world, people seem to take a very indifferent view of sex.
Of course, this was also the case in medieval Europe in the previous era.
Luo Ya glanced at the other person and found that the other person was surprisingly good-looking.
The woman was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. Her features weren't particularly beautiful, but she could still be considered pretty. Although her skin was dark from years of sun exposure, she still retained a certain charm. Her wheat-colored skin and a strong sense of wildness gave her a kind of heroic and dashing beauty.
Of course, Roya retorted, "I recently spent a whole night with one of my wives, what do you think?"
The other party was speechless for a moment, and his original teasing intentions faded considerably. He waved his hand and said to Luo Ya, "Let's go, let's go. I thought he was a virgin."
Luo Ya rolled his eyes at the older woman and walked straight to the center.
His destination was naturally the royal palace.
The surrounding streets are very narrow, especially after entering from the outside, the main streets twist and turn, and sometimes there are sections of road so narrow that carriages cannot pass each other.
After walking down this street, because there was a slave market facing the main street, Roya subconsciously saw some disgusting scenes.
It was a high platform resembling a stage, with several slaves lined up side by side.
