Chapter 173: Rescue

  Norad.

  Two columns of heavily armored soldiers marched in unison from the end of the Tulip Avenue with a thunderous pace.

  "Make way, make way!"

  The commoners and vendors at the street corner had never seen such a sight before, and they hurriedly fled to the sides of the street to avoid it.

  Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!

  The heavily armored soldiers marched in neat formation, and the tungsten steel-made war boots trampled on the ground, making a rumbling sound.

  "What's going on? Why are the imperial army's heavily armored soldiers in battle?"

  "I don't know, there must be some big trouble."

  "Could it be that rebels have appeared?"

  The crowd was divided by the two long rows of soldiers and isolated on both sides of the street, leaving a very wide road in the middle.

  After about the time it takes to drink a pot of tea, the sound of galloping horse hooves began to come from the street corner.

  The commoners curiously poked their heads out from the shoulders of the soldiers and looked into the distance.

  Suddenly, dust flew up at the end of the street, and a large group of light cavalry riding tall horses, with assault spears in their arms, suddenly turned from the fork at the end and in the blink of an eye, this group of rapidly galloping light cavalry had already crossed the entire street.

  At the rear of the cavalry was a luxurious carriage pulled by two Wind Feather Beasts.

  The carriage was made entirely of luxurious Golden Scent Wood, with beautiful and moving tulip carvings on the outer wall of the carriage. A medium-sized magic crystal was embedded on the roof. As it ran, the wind elements in the world poured into the carriage, gently lifting the originally heavy Golden Scent Wood. And the medium-sized wind magic crystal slowly flowed with magical energy, transmitting it to the two Wind Feather Beasts pulling in front through the reins.

  The four hooves of the two Wind Feather Beasts were all wrapped with a wisp of breeze, making a whooshing sound as they ran.

  "It's the Magic Guild's carriage!"

  Someone recognized this as the private carriage of the Magic Guild President, Valeri.

  Valeri, as the president of the Magic Guild of the Rhine Empire, is very approachable in daily life. Every time she passes by the street, she will greet the common people kindly, and sometimes even come down to chat with ordinary people and buy some beautiful small ornaments.

  But today, President Valeri seemed to have some important tasks on her back, rushing all the way without any intention of stopping.

  Inside the carriage.

  "Madam President, you must do your best in this matter. That woman is my beloved, and don't let anything happen to her."

  Berryman sat anxiously in the carriage, opened his collar, and kept fanning himself with a small fan in his hand. He had run all the way back from Chalad's castle with his legs.

  Sitting opposite him was a middle-aged beauty dressed in a light blue robe, with long snow-white hair tied high on her head, exuding an elegant and noble temperament. This person is the president of the Magic Guild of the Rhine Empire, Valeri.

  "Look at how anxious you are, where is the temperament of a prince of a country?"

  Valeri's eyes were half-opened, and her pair of tender white hands were overlapped and covered on her knees. There were a few shiny little flakes on the corners of her mouth, which floated up gently with her smile and emitted colorful light through the bright sunshine.

  The streets in the suburbs had already been isolated by the heavily armored soldiers. A large team of light cavalry, leading Valeri's carriage, rushed all the way and ran out of Norad City.

  As soon as the carriage left the city gate, the wind magic crystal on the roof suddenly radiated a strong light, and a large mass of wind energy surrounded down, gently lifting the four wheels of the carriage, which were a fist away from the ground. This bumpy path did not cause any bumps to the carriage at all.

  "Respected President Valeri, we have arrived."

  The light cavalry team slowly slowed down, divided into two columns and arranged outside Chalad's castle. Each light cavalry respectfully jumped off their horses, knelt on one knee on the ground, and placed their right hand on their chest.

  The carriage curtain fluttered, and Berryman's burly body rushed out first, followed by a pair of snow-white jade legs sticking out of the carriage. A wisp of breeze came over, entwining Valeri and slowly floating down to the ground.

  "Madam President, can you hurry up? I'm going crazy." Berryman urged anxiously.

  "Let's go."

  Valeri smiled kindly, and walked through the front yard of the castle with Berryman to the gate.

  Valeri slightly raised her head, frowned tightly, looked at the huge frozen castle in front of her, and the frost-covered land under her feet, and said solemnly: "Berryman, wait for me outside. It's freezing cold here, you can't go in."

  Berryman was anxious when he heard this: "No way, I must go in!"

  "Well, then you go in, and I'll go back to the city."

  After Valeri finished speaking, she made a move to leave.

  "Okay, okay, okay! I won't go in, I'm afraid of you. Hurry up and save her."

  Valeri chuckled lightly, waved her right hand gently, and a wisp of breeze blew out, pushing open the huge castle gate. As soon as the door was pushed open, a strong cold air rushed over.

  "Move aside!"

  Valeri swung left, right, and backward, and the wind magic dragged Berryman's burly body to retreat rapidly. Even so, Berryman's front body had already been covered with a layer of frost, which made him shiver.

  Valeri's face was solemn, and she stepped into the castle.

  In the hall, Mauren and Chalad sat cross-legged opposite each other, supporting the chest and back of a woman whose whole body was severely snake-like. Mauren and Chalad were almost turned into snowmen, with ice crystals all over their faces and bodies, constantly spraying two white mists from their nostrils with their breathing. The beard trembled slightly, the frost fell, and the next moment it condensed again.

  The human features of this woman are no longer obvious now. Her face has almost completely become a snake face, especially the eight long snake head shadows swaying behind her neck, and the snow-white tail behind her, which makes people think that this is a pure magic beast at first glance.

  Valeri strode to the front of the three people, quickly sat cross-legged, and stretched out her hands flat to support the snake-bodied person.

  "What exactly happened?"

  As a four-stage first-order wind mage, Valeri's powerful wind magic energy penetrated into Han Ming's body.

  "This kid went astray during the promotion, and then suffered strong stimulation, causing cracks in his own core. And the beast soul he possesses is a six-stage Hydra Emperor. At this time, the Hydra Emperor's core has begun to occupy the dominant position of his body. You and Old Man Mauren work together to suppress the Hydra Emperor, and I will help him repair the core." Chalad felt the burden on his body lighten a bit with Valeri's joining.

  "Do you have any confidence?" Valeri felt the terrifying cold air in Han Ming's body, and her heart also drummed. This is the first time since she became a mage that she has encountered such a strong cold air.

  Mauren took a deep breath and said: "It's hard to say. The Hydra Emperor beast soul in Han Xiaoyou's body is now extremely unstable. Originally, it was difficult for him to suppress the Hydra Emperor with his two-stage mage level. I don't know what mysterious skill he used to clamp the Hydra Emperor's beast soul. Now his consciousness has become blurred, and the Hydra Emperor's beast soul is out of control and begins to become violent. If this thing really lets the Hydra Emperor completely control Han Xiaoyou's body, it will surely set off a bloody storm, and the final result is that it will exhaust Han Xiaoyou's last bit of magic power and fall with Han Xiaoyou."

  Mauren's earth elemental combat qi and Valeri's wind magic energy entangled in Han Ming's body, impacting the Hydra Emperor's core. The violent core was suppressed by the two energies, and the violent momentum was faintly suppressed. Chalad's wood elemental magic energy rushed to completely wrap around Han Ming's core, and the regenerative ability continued to penetrate into Han Ming's core.

  Valeri frowned tightly and said: "Fortunately, the Hydra Emperor is just a beast soul, and this kid's strength is insufficient. At this time, he cannot exert all his strength. Otherwise, even if we three join hands, it may be difficult to subdue it. But the current situation is obviously not optimistic. Chalad, your wood elemental repair magic probably also needs the core owner to guide himself to achieve the best effect. Now you can only forcibly infuse energy into his core, and I'm afraid the repair process is extremely difficult."

  Chalad's eyebrows moved. He had worked with Valeri for decades, and he knew very well what this woman was thinking. Don't look at her kind and approachable appearance on weekdays, but at critical moments, she is definitely a calm and decisive tough character. Otherwise, she could not have sat on the seat of the Magic Guild President with a woman's identity.

  "Valeri, I advise you not to have any crooked thoughts. I will save this Han kid!"

  Valeri was expressionless, and the wind magic energy continued to be transmitted into Han Ming's body. She whispered: "Nothing is absolute. If this kid has been in a coma, it is difficult for us three to save him. The worst plan still needs to be made. If it really comes to that step, I think the two of you should not be stupid enough to put him in Norad City."

  When Mauren heard this, anger appeared on his face: "Are you going to say that we should throw him into the wild and let the Hydra Emperor exhaust his last bit of magic power and fall?"

  After hearing this, Valeri sighed softly: "The Hydra Emperor's core is becoming more and more violent. Now we can barely suppress it. After two hours, I'm afraid it will be too late. No matter what you think, as long as this kid doesn't regain consciousness in an hour, I will definitely throw him out. Now, no matter what means you have, hurry up and use them. In any case, we must wake up his consciousness."

  Mauren and Chalad of course knew what the worst result was that Valeri said, and they had already thought of that step, but neither of them was willing to give up the opportunity to save Han Ming.

  "Han Xiaoyou, can you hear me? I am Mauren. You must hold on. You must wake up."
