Chapter 545: Shipwreck at Sea
a tone that was half threat and half probe.Ripple smiled, then looked at the man beside her who had been staring coldly at her this whole time. She nodded and said,"This is your son, Xiaodan""I'm stil..."Tsk tsk, it's always the girls who get hurt. I was worried about him before, afraid something would happen to him. But he left Coralia and went wild! It's really disgusting. Since there's such a good opportunity, Coralia should seize it and break off the engagement!"
Leia said seriously.
"Cough, you're not the one involved, so you don't know what Corlia is thinking. Maybe she still loves Simon! These things are best left to Corlia's elders to worry about. If you have time, why not comfort her a bit and stop her from getting into a tangle"
Even the ripples pretended to speak.
Hasan, who knew the inside story, was trying so hard to suppress his laughter that his muscles were about to cramp. However, he still kept a serious face and thanked the two people before sighing and going to find Rodely.
When there were no outsiders, La Ye lowered her voice and added:
"Bruce the Great Magician said that his illusions could fool Laura, and after that, he didn't care what happened."
"It doesn't matter, as long as Simon doesn't go missing on the way to Palo Alto and isn't involved with the Nasci family."
Liàn yī said nonchalantly.
Let's rest for two days and then continue our journey! The next stop is Yinmaiche City. You should also level up your mages.
This had been decided long ago, everyone agreed, and so they all went their separate ways. Ripple, however, sought out Hassan White.
She didn't mince words, and said directly:
"Mr. Hassan, you must know what happened with Simon!"
"Yes, Lillian told me!"
But rest assured, Young Master Lian, she only told me this once. She also expressed her gratitude for your help, otherwise I would be the one in fear right now, and my sister's family wouldn't have a good ending either."
Since the matter had been exposed, Hassan formally thanked Ripples.
"A convenient thing, this kind of unscrupulous person won't live long."
"Indeed, if he was dissatisfied with Golia, he could simply tell his elders at home and break the engagement. There was no need to resort to taking the entire family's lives."
Hassan said in a low voice.
He felt that the other person had no sense of responsibility as a man and wondered how his sister could have chosen such a partner for her daughter.
"Golia is better off without this trash, it's good for her."
"I came to Mr. Hasan today, I wanted to talk about something else."
Afterward, the two engaged in a private conversation for over an hour until Laura departed White Castle with her attendants. Only then did their discussion come to an end.
Hasan's face was full of smiles as he personally escorted Liàn Yī back to her room, then turned around and went to discuss matters with his confidant.
Two days later, they set off from White Castle, with Galia joining their party.
She came up with excuses on the spot. Because she was heartbroken after being betrayed by her fiancé, she went out with her best friend to clear her head.
But her identity as just a friend is not simple. She's both Leia Haney and Len Rodman, both top figures in the Western Continent. There are countless people vying for their favor. As friends traveling together, she naturally received support from her family.
Hassen was overjoyed and spent a fortune hiring a Golden Knight to accompany Corlia for protection. Everyone had seen this man before, it was Helena.
Ripple saw Helena and smiled, bowing:
"Helena Knight, it's good to see you again."
"Master Lian, it's so nice to see you again! You don't have to be so polite, just call me Helena. We'll be traveling together for a while."
Helena, riding on her mythical beast, smiled and said.
Actually, when Hassan White found her and wanted to hire her as a bodyguard for his niece, she initially wanted to refuse. However, when she learned that Corlia was traveling with Lord Lian, she took on the job.
"Okay, then you shouldn't call me Lord Lian anymore. Just call me Lian, like everyone else."
After everyone was well-prepared, they once again set off on their journey of trials under the watchful eyes of Hasen, Lillian, Rodrick and others.
On the other hand, Laura felt that her old face had been disgraced by her son, and she had even let Golia witness such a scene. The other party didn't mention breaking off the engagement, which already gave their family a lot of face. Therefore, she made up her mind to find her son after all, and when she did, she would put him under house arrest.
"Madam, where shall we go now"
The head guard asked.
Go to the city with red houses, and be sure to find Simon.
"My lady, there are many cities with red houses, places where dragons and snakes mix. Such a place is not suitable for you to go to. Perhaps we should first escort you back to Sol City, report your safety to your lord, and then I will lead my men to search for the young master."
The captain's suggestion was very reasonable.
Since Laura knew her son was fine and just out having fun, she wasn't so worried. Besides, she hadn't been resting well lately, so she followed the Captain of the Guard's suggestion and returned to Sol City first.
It's a pity she will never find her son.
Five years later, the Nasi family came to her door and broke off Coralia's engagement with Simon, openly stating that they didn't want to marry their daughter to a man without responsibility. Laura was so angry that she fell ill, but what could she do Her son had disappeared, and at that time, the Nasi family had allied themselves with the Rhodemans, so they were not afraid of their disagreement.
Here, a ripple of seven people arrived at a harbor, heading to the city of Yinmai. To reach it, they had to board a flying ship and cross the Lonise Sea, which was teeming with monsters. Except for professional monster hunters, most people opted for flying ships because these vessels were crewed by powerful mages, ensuring their safety.
La Ye bought all the tickets for the spaceship, and it wasn't long before everyone boarded.
It takes only four hours to cross the Ronier Sea, so the seven of them found a place on the flying ship's deck and started chatting idly.
Helena, although she was Corlyia's guard, kept her attention focused on Ripple, pulling her aside to ask numerous questions about awakening divine power.
Ripple was also an obliging conversationalist, and the two parties communicated quite pleasantly. Halfway through their journey, Helena suddenly said:
"Someone has been looking at you since you boarded, with malicious intent, both consciously and unconsciously."
Actually, Ripples had already sensed it without Helena's reminder.
She was sure these people were targeting them, but she hadn't made a move yet, clearly waiting for the right opportunity. So, even though she was chatting with Helena casually, her spirit had been constantly paying attention to this group of people.
"Oh no, they want to destroy the spaceship!"
Ripple spoke in a low voice, then leapt forward, shielding Corlyia.
Because she saw, those eight people actually simultaneously threw the same thing onto the spaceship's defensive magical shield. Then there were continuous explosions, the entire spaceship began to violently shake, and then it quickly plummeted into the Ronis Sea.
The on-board archmage immediately opened a magic array to stop the spaceship's descent, then wielded his staff and unleashed eight attacking magic arrays towards the eight individuals.
These eight people were clearly no strangers to this sort of thing. One man among them also brandished a magic staff, and eight more magic arrays appeared, matching up with the incoming arrays and tying down the onboard archmage. The remaining seven then charged towards Ripple and the others.."Don't panic, everyone. Find cover, crouch down in place, and I'll take charge of getting you out of here. If you run around, you'll become targets!"The lion's roar was powerful, everyone heard it. I...
