Chapter 106: The Holy Spear and the Holy Sword
“I hope next year, on Lantern Festival—”
“I can eat tangyuan here with Brother Shaya as family.”
As he saw these words, Shaya’s heart skipped a beat.
He found it hard to believe that a legendary Beast Tamer’s mental power would lack the ability to conceal a diary from outsiders. These words were clearly written for him.
At this moment, Shaya recalled what Sylvia had said to him not long ago: “Since we haven’t reached the end, everything is still undecided. This is the principle Brother Shaya taught me.”
That was not an empty promise, but a genuine declaration of war.
And now, it was Sylvia’s first offensive.
Sylvia was indeed still the same Sylvia in Shaya’s memory. To prevent herself from deteriorating over the long years, she had buried herself in the White Tower, erasing even those superfluous memories.
But these five hundred years had ultimately left their mark on her…
Just like the years of longing, this current Azure Silver Witch had become incredibly aggressive, showing no trace of the innocent and pure maiden she once was.
And Shaya had to admit that Sylvia’s attack was effective.
Just this moment, he had been deeply moved.
…
A table full of dishes was cleared within half an hour.
It was only then that Shaya realized the saying “never underestimate a woman’s appetite” was not an empty one.
Although their elegance was impeccable, Little Ai and Isadorella were both hands-on Beast Tamers, and their appetites were not to be underestimated.
“Gudrian Borgia is dead.”
After their fill of food and drink, Isadorella’s expression turned serious as she returned to the main topic.
“Only those who have truly entered the legendary rank can move freely through the Astral Realm. My inability to act freely in the Astral Realm is one of my shortcomings… I had intended to purchase precise intelligence of his whereabouts in the Astral Realm from the Shadow Council and have my Teacher hunt him down to his death.”
“However, according to Augustina’s reply, he has indeed fallen.”
“I suspect it was the Queen of the Night herself who acted.”
“The mark I left on him cannot be sensed anymore; it’s Augustina’s authority of concealment.”
Light golden script appeared in mid-air.
A hint of chill appeared on Sylvia’s expressionless, plain white face.
She had witnessed the entire dinner, disguised as a retainer of the Southern Inspector, Fiolen.
At the dinner, Gudrian had repeatedly pressured Shaya with a condescending attitude, completely disregarding him in his words and actions. He had immediately been added to Sylvia’s kill list.
This was the first time in her life that she had felt such intense killing intent towards someone. Even Norton before was nowhere near as strong; back then, she felt more sorrow than exhaustion.
If Augustina hadn’t communicated with her, and if she hadn’t been so eager to reunite with Shaya, she would never have given up the chance to personally kill Gudrian to someone else.
“Since Gudrian is dead, the Borgia Family, even if it still exists, can no longer cause any major waves.”
Isadorella spoke, “The Old Nobles will not give up just like that. They still have more than one legend behind them, but until they understand the intentions of the esteemed Sylvia, they will not dare to act rashly again.”
“Although the esteemed Sylvia has been missing for a long time, the various transcendent forces on the Western Continent must have records of past legends.”
“It won’t be long before the news of the Azure Silver Witch’s revival spreads throughout the entire Western Continent.”
As she spoke, she turned to Sylvia and said, “Esteemed Sylvia, I would also like to represent the Empire and confirm your intentions.”
“Would the White Tower be willing to form an alliance with the Empire?”
“No.”
“I can only represent myself.”
The light golden script quietly appeared in mid-air.
“Alliance or not, that is a matter for Isvilda and the others.”
“If Isvilda and the others have no objections, the White Tower will establish a branch tower in Camelot, and I will be in charge of the branch… ”
“Of course, if they are unwilling, then I will step down as the head of the White Tower and stay by Brother Shaya’s side as an ordinary person.”
The delicate, light golden characters appeared word by word.
Sylvia lightly sipped her steaming hot tea, completely unconcerned that her words, if spread, would cause a tremendous uproar.
Isadorella knew Isvilda, the deputy head of the White Tower, known as the “Silent Singer.”
She had always upheld neutrality, keeping the White Tower in a transcendent position, never interfering in any faction’s disputes.
But now, the Silent Singer would likely have a headache.
If the White Tower were to establish a branch tower in the Imperial Capital, coupled with Sylvia’s actions at the dinner, the White Tower’s neutral status would cease to exist.
But if they didn’t, their own Tower Master would run away.
What a joke!
After all, from beginning to end, Isvilda’s family and ancestors had always considered themselves the guardians of the Azure Silver Witch.
“I understand.”
Isadorella nodded.
Although Sylvia claimed she did not represent the White Tower, the presence of a legend permanently stationed in the Imperial Capital was enough to signify many things.
For the precarious Empire today, this was already great news.
With this in mind, Isadorella’s gaze shifted to the blonde maiden quietly enjoying her after-dinner dessert beside Shaya.
After a moment of hesitation, she spoke softly.
“Miss Aerora, may I see the Ancient Species Familiar you manifested at the dinner party earlier?”
The blonde maiden stopped what she was doing.
Her gaze did not fall on Isadorella, but directly on Shaya.
After Shaya gently nodded, a faint silver light flashed in Aerora’s blue eyes.
Next moment, the riding spear, as if forged from mithril, materialized in an instant.
The sharp, biting aura cut through everything around, causing faint cracks to appear on the living room walls.
Only the three people present were unaffected. Isadorella and Sylvia forcefully counteracted with their own strength, while Shaya was deliberately avoided by the owner of the spear.
The moment that Azure Silver Knight Spear manifested.
A Holy Sword, radiating golden radiance, also appeared.
