229 Shi Linglong’s Reinforcements
Although Shi Linglong was very reluctant to admit it, she knew that she was a troublemaker. Strange things happened around her, and she always attracted trouble.
Most times, she would run into formidable enemies in the woods. Other times, she would hear or see something accidentally, which caused people to hunt her down.
She never meant to run into trouble, but she did, nonetheless.
Even now, she had torn the scroll to go to Lin Yao’s territory to ask for help, but things didn’t go like she wanted.
…
In an unknown sea, a few ships were sailing. They were approaching the coast.
“This unknown continent is very mysterious and dangerous!”
The princess of the Kingdom of Seop, who came from another continent, looked at the coast with a conflicted face.
They had met Lord Gadar a little while back. Something evil, right out of hell, had taken hold of his territory. In the end, they fled when they saw the ferocious white dragon and the burning goblins.
They no longer dared to set foot on this mysterious land. Instead, they sailed along the coast, carefully observing the land before them.
“It’s a good thing we were able to keep our cool and didn’t make a move recklessly!”
The nobles felt proud of themselves for thinking on their feet. However, the princess was furious with them. She had wanted to communicate and understand Lord Gadar more before taking any kind of action. But the nobles clamored impatiently to attack and conquer the territory. It was a good thing they saw the hellish creatures appear before they could make a grave mistake.
“We have been sailing the coastline for so long. Nothing unusual has happened yet,” said one of the nobles. “Is this just an ordinary continent, after all?”
They’d fled in fear of the Hell Goblin Knights and assumed that this continent was too dangerous for them. However, they had traversed the coastline for a while now, and they saw nothing frightening so far.
Everything appeared normal. Maybe the hellish goblins were just an illusion…
Just as everyone was feeling puzzled, something happened.
“Such a powerful space elemental power!”
“This is not good!”
The princess realized that they were in trouble. A huge black hole appeared in front of the ship.
“Run! Quickly!”
However, it was too late. The black hole had its own suction force, and the ships slowly sailed toward it.
“Your Highness!” shouted the crew of another ship. They were a bit further from the main ship, so the suction force didn’t affect them. They didn’t know if this was a blessing or a curse.
The ship that was being sucked toward the black hole had the most important person from the Kingdom of Seop. The princess was on that ship!
If anything happened to her, they would all probably die. The black hole swallowed everything mercilessly, and the ship was slowly pulled in.
The people stood on the deck and looked on. They were baffled.
“What should we do?!”
“Should we report this to His Majesty?” Someone suggested in a trembling voice.
“No!” said someone else. “We can’t go back! We will definitely be killed!”
The eldest princess’s whereabouts were unknown. If they returned without the princess, the king would kill them all in a rage!
It would be better to hide and sneak away to another place. This way, they would still be alive.
A heated argument broke out among the group of people over this issue. In the end, some of them decided to sail away to another place in search of a better future. Others chose to stay back and explore the dangerous continent. Yet others decided to head back and report to the king.
On the other side, in Shi Linglong’s territory, a ship landed on a large lake. Shi Linglong stomped her feet in anger.
She hadn’t been able to connect to Lin Yao’s territory at all. Instead, something had come out of the distorted space. A large ship landed on the lake in her territory!
“Why?! Why do I have to be so unlucky?!” cried Shi Linglong.
Her plan had failed. She wasn’t able to connect to Lin Yao’s territory at all! Instead, she had summoned some strange ship.
Shi Linglong could tell that the people on the ship weren’t very strong. They didn’t even look like fighters. They would be of no help in the war.
Just as Shi Linglong was in despair, the distorted space gradually stabilized into a Dimensional Portal.
And, on the other side of the portal…
“Eh? Linglong?!” It was Zhao Qingrong! “Linglong, you are just in time for dinner!”
Zhao Qingrong’s territory was in a lush forest, where plants were opulent and huge mushrooms bloomed.
At this time, Zhao Qingrong was having dinner with a few Lords and their heroes on a giant mushroom.
“Rongrong, is this little lady your friend?” asked one of Zhao Qingrong’s friends.
Shi Linglong would have argued with them if she had time because she was far from “little”. But the situation was dire. She wanted to help Su Wan.
Seeing that Zhao Qingrong had a few Lords as friends, Shi Linglong was hopeful that they might be of some help.
“Rongrong, I have bad news!” said Shi Linglong. “Wanwan is being attacked by some other Lords. It looked bad!”
Zhao Qingrong was quiet for a while. Some of the Lords present were men. They wanted to show off. “Little sister, don’t be alarmed. If bad Lords are attacking your friend, we will help.”
“That’s right,” said another Lord. “Rongrong’s friend is our friend. We will help!”
The male Lord was happy to have the chance to show off in front of the women!
Shi Linglong was speechless. She had assumed these few Lords would be unreliable and useless. “The enemy is in Wanwan’s territory. Her territory is near mine.”
“Alright! We will bring those enemies to justice!”
