The Thirty-First Chapter: Calm Seas and Gentle Breeze

  I'm having a great time playing, but I was "persuaded" to leave by a group of royal guard knights. How frustrating! The Ishihara family gave up so quickly, and Ishihara Niwolf should still be alive. What a pity! This damn dwarf armor is really something else in terms of quality!

  The entire arena is now completely boiling! More than 80% of the people have bet on Shi Yuan's victory, and now they are losing so badly that they can't care less about the power of the Shi family. They are scolding loudly. It's common to see one person scolding, but it's rare to see over 10,000 people pointing at one family and scolding together! The scene is simply "brilliant"! I have also broadened my horizons. From Pangu creating heaven and earth, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to the present day, a scene where the Shi family is being loudly scolded by over 10,000 people at the same time is truly rare!

  Originally there were some ceremonies, such as the king announcing the winner and who was right. But the crowd was so angry that the guards on the scene could hardly hold back, so they all cancelled.

  I finally managed to break through the encirclement and return home under the heavy protection of my family's guards. And found that grandpa and the others were all waiting for me! It's really convenient to be with the king!

  Grandpa first asked me to sit down and smiled: "Well done, young man! I didn't expect you to take care of Shi Genjiro without using 'Dragon's Roar'!"

  "Haha! I told you it was a piece of cake!"

  "What a mess! Why didn't you say so earlier? You scared your mother to death! How are you going to make it up to me?" Mother scolded.

  "Haha! Mom, you lost 200 million! 1 to 8 odds! I helped you win 16 billion, consider it compensation?"

  "Hum! Nice thought! Make a note of it for now, and get back to it later!"

  "Wow! Tell me how you did it?" Grandpa asked

  I slowly told them what had happened!

  "Haha! This is a tactic tailored for heavy cavalry!" Grandfather said: "To celebrate this victory, I declare that the Duke's mansion will have a grand celebration today! Let the people below have fun! Haha!"

  Compared with our family's joyful laughter, the Ishihara family is gloomy. Kuma Ishihara and the Archbishop and some elders are holding a secret meeting!

  "Big brother!" Ishihara Kuma II said to the high priest, "I just can't figure it out! Why did that kid from the Long family defeat the Golden Warrior with just one scroll?"

  "Cough! Cough!" The archbishop's wound had not healed yet, he didn't say a word, just shook his head.

  "Ah! Niúláng's injury? You see?" asked Ishihara Kuma II

  "You will be fine in half a year!" The archbishop said coldly

  "This makes me feel at ease! But this time, we're going to lose almost 3 billion! All the profits added up are only 1.7 billion. We'll have a net loss of 1.3 billion! This is not easy to deal with!"

  "How much is left?" the archbishop asked

  "In our family, we can at most mobilize 5 million, if more, it will affect business! And there's an 8 million mouth to feed!"

  "I can mobilize 2 million from the church, no more!"

  "Am I supposed to use state funds? The amount is too large and it's easy to get caught, the risk is too high! Big brother, you think of a way!"

  "Unless you're selling! I'll give you some scrolls and magical items, sell them for tens of millions!"

  "Alright! I have to sell things too! The Long family has driven us to such a miserable state! I'm not done with him yet!"

  "What else can you do?"

  "Hmph!" Ishihara Kuma said with a sinister tone: "Is the principal of Wizlab Magic Academy one of us, or is he theirs?"

  "What did you say?"

  "Fire them and let the Long family lose face severely!"

  "Why?" The archbishop said: "Besides, will he listen to you?"

  "Forcing people to run naked and beating them up is just a reason! As for Weickra, humph! How many beauties and money did he take from me? Dare not listen to me?"

  "Fine! Not even His Majesty the King can do anything to a mage!"

  In the palace, the king and his trusted magician Carla were also discussing this matter!

  "Haha! It's really too funny! Carra! A six-year-old child defeats a fully armed golden warrior in a duel, I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes!" The king said excitedly.

  "Indeed! That child has created a miracle!" Kara said with a bitter smile

  "Haha! Judging from your expression, I guess you've made a wrong bet?"

  "Haha! Your Majesty is wise!"

  "How much did you lose?"

  "Haha! Lost 200,000!"

  "Are you crazy? Betting so big!"

  "Your Majesty, a six-year-old kid who's been sealed and has almost no fighting power is going to duel with a young and robust Golden Warrior. Who do you think will win? Since it's almost a sure-win bet, how can I not place one? And the odds are so low, why not add more? Who knew the idiot from the Ishihara family would be so reckless!"

  "Do you think it's him Benz! Rather than Long Wu being too outstanding, right?"

  "No, on the contrary, I think Long Wu is too clever! If it were someone else, they would probably lose too!"

  "Oh! Why?"

  "Long Wu's tactics were specifically designed to counter heavy cavalry, whoever encountered them first would definitely be at a disadvantage. First, use magic to dazzle the enemy's eyes, then create obstacles to make others crash into each other, haha, bullying warriors who can't feel magical fluctuations."

  "Can this move be used on the battlefield? Heavy cavalry is the most powerful unit, if we can take them down so easily, then we'll be invincible on the battlefield!" The king asked anxiously.

  "I'm afraid that won't work. Long Wu is using magic. Do you plan to have our mages face the enemy's heavy cavalry head-on?"

  "Ah! I was worried!" The king said: "However! This time, things can finally be over. You don't know! I'm almost driven mad by Ishihara's queen, and that little brat from the Long family is really something, always causing trouble for no reason, he's given me more headaches than anyone else, now just seeing him gives me a headache!"

  "Is he really that powerful?"

  "Ever since he killed the four wolves of Shiroyama at the age of three, he's been causing me trouble. How many big and small battles has he fought with others in these few years? Every time it was me who had to clean up after him. Just last time, he came up with a one-on-eighteen, killing high-ranking officers of the Genbu Army. He finished fighting and walked away with a pat on his butt. I had to use all my energy to placate the Shiroyama family. This time is even better, knocking down over 50 people, and before I could even speak! The two families started fighting in the palace! For the hundred or so people of the Shiroyama family who were injured again, Shiroyama's consort cried to me for a whole night, I didn't sleep well. Now the Shiroyama family has suffered another great loss, I reckon tonight I won't have any peace either!" The king was extremely vexed.

  "Your Majesty, you can go and rest in the queen's chamber!"

  "Good idea! Let's just stay in Wang Hou Town for now! I'll go, you can rest too!"
