Chapter 124 Capture Laode
Enjoy exclusive chapters from empire
Before long, Aldric arrived again at the snowy mountain behind the riverside city.
He stood quietly there, closing his eyes to take in the whole town.
It wasn't a very big city. With his Tree Father Body, he could sense everyone in it, including their strength and he could even estimate their appearance.
In a short time, he found two people who had powers at the Senior Magician 2nd Stage. One of them had such an incredible ice aura that he thought he was Sparrow's disciple, Laode.
Only, the other person made him show a strange expression.
"Is that Jenny?" He wondered as he opened his eyes.
Clearly, he sensed that she was a woman with a slim and tall body, having the aura of an Elf which he believed felt the same as Jenny's aura.
His eyes then gazed at a distant building where he sensed the woman's presence.
Although far away, he could see the building quite clearly.
It was a small restaurant in the corner of the city.
Interestingly, all the patrons were elves.
Aldric wasn't sure what kind of restaurant it was.
He wasn't interested in going there either.
Before leaving for the city, he released the prince.
"Hmph!" The man was as if he had been locked up for a hundred years. His eyes shone brightly as he looked around.
"Now you can go," Aldric told him, too lazy to continue interacting with him.
He wasn't even interested in asking what his name was.
"I will of course leave," the prince replied coldly, walking away.
They had an agreement, but with their conflict, there was no way the prince would be friendly to Aldric.
After he left, he finally took a step and entered the city, heading straight for the place where Laode was.
The man turned out to be in a bar that was the biggest in the city.
The bar was literally in the center of the city, full of powerful and wealthy Magicians.
They had the most beautiful girls entertaining the patrons without restraint.
Aldric did not see Laode in the hall of the bar as he had obviously gone to the back room.
Standing in front of the bar, the bar girls began to smile at him, seemingly waiting for him to enter.
They seemed to be happier if they could serve him.
Aldric was too lazy to respond to them. If even Jenny's advances failed him, who could continue to seduce him.
His eyes stared at the door to the back room of the bar.
Only, he hesitated to enter.
After a moment of thought, he did something.
BANG!
The force of gravity appeared above the bar, instantly reducing the building to dust with no ruins left.
Everyone in the bar was pressed down by that gravity so that they lay with their faces hitting the ground.
One person could barely sit up.
He was a young man with blue hair and eyes, hugging the woman on either side of him.
Perhaps they were lying on a mattress before, but the mattress was now collapsed.
The young man kept trying to sit up by releasing his strength but still failed.
Even he had trouble releasing his aura under that gravitational pressure.
"Who is so powerful to make me helpless?" He wondered.
Others did not know his strength but he knew he was a 2nd Stage Senior Magician.
A gravity that could suppress a 2nd Stage Senior Magician, this meant the enemy was even above the 3rd Stage.
His eyes quickly looked at Aldric.
Although he did not emit an aura, he instantly realized that he was the one who released this gravity.
Shua!
A root appeared from beside Aldric, moving quickly towards the young man.
It wrapped around him before pulling him towards it.
"Who are you?" The young man asked tremblingly.
He who was usually arrogant became frightened at this moment.
Aldric was too lazy to answer. He stepped away while carrying him.
With such a commotion, all the Senior Magicians in the city naturally took notice whether they were players or NPCs.
They were watching from afar from a high place.
Unlike most people, the Senior Magician from among the NPCs recognized Laode.
"Who is this guy? Laode is the strongest among us yet he was captured just like that." The NPCs wondered in confusion.
"He should be at the Senior Magician 4th Stage," said another.
"It seems like Laode has offended someone, but does this person not know that Laode has a terrifying teacher?"
"I don't know, it's none of our business, it's better not to observe too much."
As for the players, they weren't sure what was going on.
Jenny also happened to be watching from the top of the restaurant.
Seeing that the person making the commotion was Aldric, she was initially dumbfounded, and after that, she quickly ran over to him.
Aldric himself went to a quiet place and put Laode into his Space Artifact.
He had not had time to do anything when he saw a female figure with a black dress and long ears appear behind him.
"Aldric, I didn't expect us to meet here," the woman said with beautifully curved lips.
Anyone would find their body uncomfortable when receiving that smile from her.
"Jenny!" Aldric pretended to be surprised to see her.
Arriving in front of him, Jenny made an observation of him.
"Really, your progress is really too fast, I was just preparing to advance to Stage 3, but you've already reached Stage 4. Aldric, how did you advance so fast?" she said, getting even more surprised when she saw him up close.
"I was originally thinking about giving you a favor, but apparently, I'm the one who should be asking for your help. Aldric, if you find some luck, share it with me a little," she added with flickering eyes.
Aldric was a bit unsure how to react.
"Please wait a moment!" Finally, he could only say that. This was because now he wanted to focus on Laode in his Space Artifact.
Now, the man was captured by his clone, tied firmly to a tree.
He kept questioning why he was captured, but he was too lazy to respond.
He took the ring on his finger and smashed the ring directly so that the items inside appeared.
Just as Sparrow had run out of treasures, this man turned out to have almost no treasures either.
Aldric only saw a single ice stick, and all that was left was a Monster Core below Level 10. Perhaps all his treasures had been used to help Sparrow buy something that could be used to attract the Tree Father Body.
Since there weren't many treasures, Aldric quickly found one unique object because it was the only one.
It was an egg of sorts, red in color with blue lines that resembled blood vessels.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
