BXBX NOVEL Chapter 194 - 188: The Keynes Epic
“I must have been blind to fall for a man like you!” Deirdre Jordan said angrily before storming out of the conference hall.
In the second-tier city of Celebration City, the Keynes family was the most top-level trainer family, and the power of the Keynes Ancestor had reached the Epic Peak.
If Cronin Keynes could get his ancestor to take action, a lone seventh-tier Overlord Beast would be nothing.
Why was the man she admired so useless that he didn’t even dare to disturb the ancestor with his own daughter’s death?
Watching Deirdre’s desolate departure, Cronin Keynes slowly dropped his eyelids, as if trying to hide his emotions.
It’s well known that the life span of an Epic Beastmaster is only about five hundred years, and the Keynes Ancestor is already over four hundred and seventy years old, with not much time left.
In order to break through the legend and reincarnate, the ancestor has been in seclusion for thirty years.
Unless the family is in a desperate situation, it would be impossible to disturb the ancestor who is trying to break through the legend, even if the daughter dies or the current family owner dies.
It was because of this reason that he was now only the vice president of the Trainer Guild in Celebration City, instead of the Guild president.
As the saying goes, people walk and tea gets cold; the Ancestor was yet to leave, but the influence of the Keynes family was already declining, meaning that other powers didn’t really think the Ancestor would be able to break through the legend.
After all, in the eyes of outsiders, the age of the Keynes Ancestor was simply too great, making the chance of breaking through the legend extremely slim.
After considering for a moment, Cronin Keynes took out his mobile phone with an uncertain expression.
In the end, he gritted his teeth and dialed a number that had been in his contact list for many years but had hardly ever been used.
Inside the Mesona Space.
David Jones was holding the Earth Barrier Necklace in his hand, a necklace with amber light and silver chains engraved with numerous intricate runes, exuding an elegant and spirited aura.
Besides the Star Ring, some high-level arcane implements also required blood contract rituals to be used like an extension of oneself, such as the Earth Barrier, a defensive type implement that triggers automatically when attacked.
After numerous blood contract rituals, the process had become second nature to David.
He took out a blood dropper with ease, first dropping the blood on the amber gem of the necklace, then mentally fusing with the Earth Barrier to recognize its owner.
The next second, the amber gem shone slightly, and the majestic Rock Arcane Force surged out from the Earth Barrier, drawing a huge barrier illusion that slowly dissipated.
With the protective Earth Barrier Necklace attached, David nodded in satisfaction.
An added lifeline!
After dealing with the loot, David turned to Lolo beside him and said, “It’s time to go home.”
It was time to return home and rest after hiding for so long!
“Chirp.” (—w—?? (Okay.)
Lolo nodded nervously.
Noticing something off with Lolo, David furrowed his brows and asked softly, “Are you hiding something?”
Lolo stiffened, her little hands moving nervously behind her back.
“Chirp!” (o’v ‘ o) (No!)
Seeing that Lolo couldn’t even lie, David couldn’t help but smile.
Never mind, if she didn’t want to say it, he wouldn’t force her.
After all, in the end, Lolo had saved him, and whatever she had done, David understood.
“It’s time to go, Rainbow.”
As soon as David’s words fell, a clear dragon chant rang out.
“Yi.” (Okay.)
Rainbow’s originally massive body rapidly shrank, and in an instant, a petite, mini Flood Dragon wrapped itself around David’s arm.
At this time, the night has grown deep, and the white moonlight spills onto the ground.
The air around the Mountain Crossing is filled with a dry, deathly silence, followed by barely noticeable ripples in space.
“Is this the towering mountain from before?”
Standing inside the Mesona Space, looking at the flattened, and even somewhat sandy, mound in front of him, and the few trainers who were painstakingly surveying and inspecting it, David Jones couldn’t help but swallow, glancing unconsciously at Lolo in his arms.
Good lord, the combat power of a King-ranked trainer was so formidable that even a mountain over a thousand meters high could be flattened!
Noticing the Trainer’s gaze, Lolo immediately closed his eyes tightly, feigning an innocent, clueless expression.
Seeing this, David Jones chuckled helplessly, without blaming Lolo, because he had no right to do so.
But Lolo’s spatial ability was truly powerful, even able to project the scenes from his previous location within the Mesona Space.
“Chirp!” ￡(O_O;)(There are a lot of trainers there!)
Lolo’s voice suddenly rang in David Jones’s mind.
David Jones’s eyes immediately narrowed, “How many exactly?”
“Chirp.” (One hundred and fifty-three, and a few more with strong auras not checked, afraid of being discovered.)
“Sure enough, the King’s battle is no small matter. It has caused such a huge commotion that it would be strange if the Trainer Guild didn’t send someone to investigate.” David Jones pondered secretly.
There’s no way to show his face! If he went out, he might end up fighting.
He could only say that he would find a chance to compensate later!
David Jones: “Take a quick look, and then let’s go straight home.”
“Chirp!”(o V )o(Got it!)
Seeing David Jones not caring about the destruction he has caused, Lolo, who had initially been feeling guilty and dispirited, quickly perked up. He began to sense the anchor point he had left at the villa.
Back at the villa, seeing that the night had grown deep, David Jones, who had spent the entire evening using Dragon-Wielding to strengthen Lolo, felt waves of drowsiness wash over him.
“Goodnight; it’s time for us to rest.”
Without waiting for a reply from his pet, David Jones, who was already low on energy, closed his eyes and quickly drifted off to dreamland.
Lolo scratched his head and lay down directly to the left of David Jones, while Daphne burrowed into the covers.
Staring blankly at the deeply sleeping Trainer, Rainbow’s eyes filled with determination, and then she silently floated into the courtyard to continue cultivating.
“My current strength is not enough; I have to become even stronger!”
Early the next day, morning sunlight poured in through the window onto the bed.
As the cell phone alarm went off, Rainbow gently breathed a slight cold wind from her mouth, waking up David Jones, who ignored the alarm.
“Hiss, so cold!”
David Jones slowly opened his eyes and saw the elegant, pale gold pupils staring back at him.
“Good morning, Rainbow.” David Jones smiled sheepishly.
It seemed that he had been really tired lately, not even able to hear his own alarm.
“Squeak!”(▼’■’-▼ / )(It’s time to cultivate!)
Rainbow, somewhat angry, wondered what time it was, and he was still sleeping.
“I understand, I understand, I’m getting up now.” David Jones looked at the spirited Rainbow, and said helplessly.
Really, he hadn’t seen such a serious attitude from Rainbow in a long time!
