Book 8, The Ten Thousand Kilo in the Wind

The city of Redsand was a small one, and there were only a few tens of thousands of people within it

When Linley’ s group left the boat, they headed directly towards the prefectural city of Cerre On the way there, they stopped by Redsand City, preparing to have a quick lunch

In a private room in the second floor of a hotel, Jenne and Keane both had excited sht, ill reach Cerre City By then, we’ll have much fewer troubles” Keane chortled

Jenne nodded as well “Once we reach Cerre, our aunt probably wouldn’t openly s won’t be as easy as you think” Linley laughed calerous Your so-called aunt isn’t as timid and fearful as you seem to think she is”

When wo

During his three years in the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, Linley had encountered all sorts of cruel, vicious people Jenne’s aunt was totally capable of having Keane killed within Cerre City, and in a manner which didn’t implicate her at all

“Really?” Keane was somewhat afraid now After all, he was a fourteen year old boy

Linley laughed “But don’t worry too much There’s no need for us to rush to Cerre City this afternoon Let’s have a good rest in Redsand City first To?” Jenne and Keane both looked at Linley

“If my predictions are correct, the people your aunt undoubtedly stationed at the river have already discovered that we disembarked one harbor early They should be able to calculate that ould arrive at Cerre City at around nightfall Thus…there is an 80 to 90 chance that they will be waiting for us there, tonight”

Linley could easily deduce such sih from another’s perspective, one could easily lead theth Tohed loudly “There’s no rush right now Let’s have a good lunch”

Jenne and Keane revealed hints of smiles on their faces

…

Indeed, as Linley had predicted, Apothecary Holroup had headed directly for Cerre City Madame Wade’s people in Cerre City had received this information as well

On the walls of Cerre city

Mada outside the city Behind her were her two brothers as well as Apothecary Holuards, they had all scattered at her command

“Mr Holht for a while” Mada

Apothecary Holmer knew his own limits

He personally wasn’t that powerful The most powerful weapon available to him was his poisons Naturally, he wouldn’t want to offend this malicious person in front of him, as the true power in Cerre city

“Madas definitely will not live to arrive at Cerre city”

Holmer was very confident “Even if they have an escort who is of the ninth rank, h as he hasn’t reached the Saint-level, I am confident in my ability to deal with him But of course…he can’t already knoho I anize him and activate his battle-qi, the battle-qi would be sufficient to easily repel the poison

“Mr Holmer, all these years, you’ve resided here in Cerre City You aren’t a person who likes to show yourself either How many people could have possibly seen you? What’s more, I’ve heard that you, Mr Hole your appearance?” Madahed happily Stroking his beard, he said, “Haha Madahly All I do is to use soe the color of my skin and hair And then a littleas they don’t carefully inspect nize me”

Mada in your hands, Mr Holood news”

Holhed confidently

…

But as time went on, Madame Wade, as in that hotel nearest to the city walls, was beginning to grow confused Because quite soon, the city gates would close for the night

The rule of Cerre City was that at ten o’clock sharp, the gates would be shut

But Jenne and Keane’s group still had yet to arrive Based on Madaroup had arrived at Redsand City by lunchtime Even if they travelled slowly, they should’ve reached here by now

Ten o’clock arrived

Those enoruards pushed at them Apothecary Holmer, who had meticulously prepared for this battle, descended froer Madame Wade also walked out of the hotel

“Madame Wade, what is this?” Hol the news, he had run all the way back fro ride was quite miserable for this 300-year old Holmer

And then, he had stood up there on the walls for half the night, with the icy wind blowing at hi But no one caroup of people I’ht have taken a rest at Redsand City Mr Holht? Let’s see what toood ht now” Holruntled

…

The next dawn, just as the city gates opened, Holan to quietly wait for the, Holmer was truly furious

Holed directly into the second floor of the hotel

“Madao to them” Holmer said directly “Give s”

Madaht Then I’ll have to trouble you, Mr Holive these people a taste of my power” Holmer said quietly, his eyes filled with a e in Redsand City, Jenne and Keane entered the carriage, with the old servant, La the driver As for Linley, he rode on the back of his Blackcloud Panther, Haeru

Haeru was more than two meters tall and very broad-backed His fur was very s on the Blackcloud Panther, Linley couldn’t feel any bumps in the road as well The ride was far e What’s more, the Blackcloud Panther ran upbrother Ley What tie and asked Linley
