Chapter 467 - 254: Reinforcements or Enemies? (Part 2)
"Yes, it is said that I inherited my grandfather’s Swordsmanship talent." Aaron touched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed, and said, "Lord Raine, your talent is remarkable."
After complimenting Raine, Aaron continued, "Therefore, to deal with this Dragon Rider, my mother invited an old adventuring friend, who is said to be an Extraordinary Strong Person now."
Raine nodded.
"Additionally, my father invited Earl of Cumbria from the nearby city, who came with his guards to support us, and my father is accompanying them. Lord Raine, given your status, it should have been my father personally accompanying you; my apologies."
"It’s a minor issue." After hearing Aaron’s explanation, Raine had a general understanding of the situation.
Just then, the sound of a dragon’s roar came from the sky!
Everyone immediately looked up to see the massive dragon hovering above the castle.
The body was far larger than an ordinary dragon, with a row of spikes on its back, and the knight carrying a Great Sword—all indicating the identity of the opponent.
"It actually came at this moment?" murmured the young man holding a Magic Staff, Damian.
Raine was also a bit surprised as he glanced at the Dragon Rider in the sky, then looked at the pale faces of the others, realizing this was truly unplanned.
However, this Dragon Rider’s presence was extraordinary, making it not easy to deal with; whether Aaron’s parents’ arrangements could handle this opponent was uncertain.
If not, it wouldn’t be too late for him to intervene.
For now, he decided to observe the situation first.
Then Aaron quickly turned to Raine and said urgently, "Lord Raine, if our family can’t resist, please help us!"
"Rest assured, the reward on our side will certainly be substantial."
"We’re very sorry you encountered this upon arrival." Aaron bowed deeply.
Aaron spoke this way because he didn’t know if the strong allies his parents had invited could fend off or solve the Dragon Rider above.
"Lord Raine, actually, Aaron had suggested inviting you at the earliest opportunity to his parents, but...." Priest Flora explained for Aaron.
"I understand." Raine waved his hand, signaling Aaron not to worry.
"Lord Raine, please follow me." Seeing Raine wasn’t bothered, Aaron breathed a sigh of relief and immediately led the way.
The group headed towards the castle’s banquet hall.
However... as Raine walked further inside, he increasingly felt something was wrong.
The sound of fighting?
"Huh, in the direction of the banquet hall, it seems there are a lot of people fighting? The smell of blood is very strong." Laisa suddenly twitched her nose and sniffed.
Aaron and his companions also heard the sounds of battle, looking somewhat surprised towards the banquet hall ahead.
Clearly, the Dragon Rider had just appeared, yet screams and fighting noises were coming from inside the banquet hall, which made Aaron’s face change drastically.
"This is bad!"
Panic-stricken and worried about his father’s safety, Aaron immediately sprinted forward.
Soon, a beautiful woman in a red robe, seemingly a Caster, appeared in Aaron’s sight at the entrance to the banquet hall.
She was unfamiliar, Aaron had never seen her before.
Moreover, although she was smiling, the corpses and blood strewn across the ground created a strangely terrifying atmosphere, making Aaron stop in his tracks.
Hearing footsteps behind her, Lilith glanced at Aaron and perceived that his Classes Level wasn’t even Level 5, she immediately laughed, "Oh, it seems we have a stray fish."
Inside the banquet hall.
A castle guard who was in the midst of battle saw Aaron’s appearance and shouted, "Young Master Aaron, run!"
Hearing the guard call out Aaron’s name, Earl York, who was originally glaring angrily at Cambria, turned sharply and looked towards the entrance.
When he saw his son’s familiar figure, he shouted anxiously, "Go, Aaron! Go!"
"Huh? He’s actually a noble young master. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to leave today."
Lilith looked slightly surprised, taking another glance at Aaron before slowly lifting her leg, like a cat playing with a mouse, slowly descending the steps outside the banquet hall.
Under the slim, short red silk Mage Robe, a pair of round, fair legs were faintly visible.
Her pace was unhurried, seemingly completely unconcerned that Aaron might seize the chance to run away.
Just as Aaron hesitated, the next moment, he noticed the woman before him, resembling a ’poisonous rose’ Caster, suddenly froze as if struck by lightning.
No, precisely speaking, it seemed like – ’a cat was teasing a mouse, and suddenly, the cat realized there was a tiger behind the mouse.’
It sounds complex, but Aaron was sure the expression on her face represented just that.
Lilith’s former composure, seductive charm, and beauty vanished entirely, replaced by anxiety, fear, and uncontrollable trembling.
"Ra-Raine, you....." The frightened Lilith pointed a trembling finger at Raine, stumbling over her words to the point she couldn’t finish a sentence.
Raine’s presence was a complete surprise to Lilith!
Her entire plan for this operation was——
’First helping Lord Yejiya take Warwick City;’
’Then, Lord Yejiya would mobilize personnel to locate Raine’s whereabouts;’
’Upon finding Raine, Lords Yejiya and Siegfried would collaborate to kill the suspected God-blessed Raine.’
