Chapter 230: Ch 230: Emrys In the City
"Blue Phoenix Token!"
When the guards saw the token in Caruso’s hands, their expressions all froze. They looked at Caruso and cupped their fists together. "We are extremely sorry for blocking your path, dear sirs. I never thought Federation Envoy would come here personally."
"There is no need to talk so much." Caruso waved his hand before pointing at Andrea and Laura. "They are my friends. Let them enter the city. We have important matters to attend to in the Gale Ridge City."
"Yes! Everyone, please come in!"
After hearing what Caruso said, the guards didn’t dare to say anything and quickly bowed, retreating to the side.
Andrea frowned and revealed a somewhat astonished expression as he looked at Caruso. On the other hand, Laura appeared to be very normal. She seemed to have already known about Caruso’s other identity.
Andrea didn’t ask any questions. He simply followed Caruso’s lead and entered the city with Laura.
The moment they entered the city gates, they saw a majestic and imposing sculpture, which seemed like a towering mountain peak, standing right opposite the city gates.
The statue depicted a man with an ice-cold expression. His figure seems to be exuding an imposing aura. The statue was extremely lifelike and stood there like a real person. This statue emitted a boundless aura that caused people to feel a sense of reverence towards him.
"This is the statue of Emperor Dmitry Ivanov!"
Caruso introduced, making Andrea nod his head.
"As you already know, Emperor Dmitry Ivanov was the founder of Phoenix Cry Kingdom. What you may not know is that he was also one of the few Glowing Red Star Soul Masters, and he was the one to establish the Phoniex Glade Sect as well. It is said that he also had a very close relationship with the Federation’s President in his time. Moreover, he is not dead, he just disappeared mysteriously."
Andrea and Laura were astounded greatly.
Seeing Andrea and Laura’s shocked expressions, Caruso instead had an extremely proud look. Emperor Dmitry was a legendary figure in the Phoenix Cry Kingdom, so he naturally received much admiration from the masses.
The reason why the Phoenix Glade Sect possessed was able to become the number one power aside from the Imperial Family of Phoenix Cry Kingdom was also due to all the treasures left behind by Emperor Dmitry, and his name.
While talking, the three of them continued to walk. Andrea and Laura followed closely behind Caruso. After all, Caruso was familiar with the roads here and knew the location of the Gale Pavilion more than anyone else they knew about.
Passing through the noisy streets, Andrea and the others enjoyed the scenery along the way and knew that the inside of Gale Ridge City was indeed different from the others.
As they walked on the streets, they saw all sorts of street vendors, calling out to them, holding onto some scrap metal, and calling them a treasure.
Andrea could not help but frown, then shook his head. These people were all usually swindlers who would take advantage of the situation to trick idiots who did not know the truth, but he would not easily fall for them.
"Don’t underestimate these stalls. There really were people who bought rare treasures here in the past. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many people loitering around here."
Seeing the disgusted look on Andrea’s face, Caruso smiled slightly instead. There was a large crowd of people gathering here, and many of them were searching for the real thing. If they are lucky enough to find a treasure, their life will change completely.
"Oh?" When Andrea Greco heard it, he became curious and looked around casually. When he arrived in front of an inconspicuous stall, Andrea’s eyes suddenly lit up.
"Dear customer, do you want something to buy? I have everything here, and it’s very cheap!"
The stall owner saw that Andrea was standing there and looking at the items that he had placed on the table. He hurriedly greeted me with a smile and continued to introduce the things that he had sold and looked quite confident.
Caruso and Laura were flabbergasted. Andrea was obviously looking down on these treasures a moment ago, and now, he has become serious in such a short time. The two of them actually felt very strange.
At the moment, Andrea’s expression was strange. What attracted him was a round pearl. This pearl’s appearance was not remarkable, but there was something about it that was giving him a different feeling.
Andrea bent over and took the pearl in his hands to examine it closely. Even with his experience, he was unable to see anything different about it.
"Dear customer, you really have good eyes. This is a treasure passed down from my ancestors. It is called ’Primeval Soul Pearl’. I wonder if you have taken a fancy to it?"
When he saw Andrea pick up an unremarkable pearl, the stall owner’s eyes immediately lit up, revealing a face full of laughter, as he started to spit nonsense and introduced it to Andrea. But in his heart, he thought, "This broken pearl was only casually picked up by me inside that ’crumbled temple’.To think that there’s actually such an idiot taking a fancy to it!"
The shop owner looked at Andrea as he spoke. He also told Andrea all kinds of nonsense that they were destined to meet, and he had almost said that the Primival Sloul Pearl was a priceless treasure.
"It is just a broken pearl? How dare you try to trick us in broad daylight?"
Caruso could not bear to watch any longer, but Andrea stayed silent. He looked at the dirt-covered pearl with a lot of concern. In the end, he decided to buy it.
But exactly at this moment, a young man with silver eyes and silver hair approached. His face had intricate markings on the right side that was glowing faintly, which gave him an otherworldly presence. Strange enough, these markings didn’t seem to be an external part or symbols of something, it appeared more like a part of this young man’s body.
Anyone seeing this young man mysteriously has a single thought appear in their minds—this young man is not human.
This young man was none other than Emrys.
Without saying a word, Emrys glanced at the pearl in Andrea’s hand. A flash of surprise flickered in his eyes, though he quickly concealed it.
"Wait," Emrys said in a calm voice. "If you are not going to buy this pearl, I’ll have it."
Andrea turned toward him, surprised by his sudden interruption. Caruso was also surprised, not expecting someone else to be stupid enough to want to buy this pearl.
"No, I’m buying it," Andrea immediately rejected Emrys’s words and paid the shopkeeper for the pearl.
"It’s a pity," Emrys shook his head, turned around, and walked away, leaving Andrea, Laura, and Caruso surprised.
It hadn’t been long since Emrys arrived in Gale Ridge City. Just a few days earlier, he had completely wiped out the Darkthorne Family, the royal family supporting them from behind the scenes, and all the families allied with the Darkthorne Family, thus fulfilling his revenge.
No one could withstand his power, not even for a second. He utterly crushed the forces of the entire Great Flame Kingdom and single-handedly overturned the power structure of the kingdom. And it only took him a single day to accomplish this.
Leaving the kingdom in chaos, Emrys departed from the Great Flame Kingdom and entered the Phoenix Cry Kingdom. He was unaware that not long after his departure, the Federation had issued a search warrant for the person responsible for the kingdom’s turmoil. Not that it mattered to Emrys. He had come to Gale Ridge City in the Phoenix Cry Kingdom to participate in the Great Auction Elysia had mentioned.
Not long after he arrived, he was attracted by a source of dense Soul Force. Following the attraction, he arrived in front of the stall where he saw a man holding a pearl.
This pearl was not ordinary. Emrys can tell that a dense amount of pure Soul Force was actually sealed inside this pearl. It was so dense and pure that even Emrys felt that absorbing the entire amount of Soul Force would help him break through to the next realm of his Soul Cultivation.
This is why he wanted to buy the pearl if Andrea was not buying it.
However, Andrea also seemed to have noticed something different about the pearl so he bought it instead of giving up.
Alex didn’t mind. He felt it was a pity, but he was not disappointed. He had many ways to level up his own strength.
This pearl was obviously fated to Andrea. It was Andrea’s opportunity.
At this time, Emrys only felt that the meeting with Andrea and Laura was only a one-time encounter, and would not happen again.
What he didn’t know was that these two people became the key figures in completing the mission he had expected back in the Eternal Paradise. His fate with these two people was much closer than he thought.
