Chapter 403: 402, Prudent Khadgar (Update)_1
“So, he really came!” Khadgar, who was perched on a branch, let out an “as expected” expression.

He didn’t know that Su Yu would appear here because of his predictive powers or any secret ties with Su Yu, but purely due to his own guesswork.

Khadgar didn’t know that Su Yu came to negotiate with them. After listening to Sylvanas’s words, he believed that Su Yu would take advantage of their complacency and come to the Imperial Capital to carry out a suicidal assassination.

The distance between the Lai Yin Kingdom’s Imperial Capital and Goldfinch City was more than 7000 kilometers, it was almost equivalent to going from one side of a planet to another side (Like going from China to the Kangaroo Kingdom).

Su Yu, being only a sixth-level magic user, would want to teleport directly here, his only choice would be the weakest point in the spatial barrier near the Imperial Capital so he could barely complete the teleportation.

Khadgar didn’t know if or when Su Yu would come, but to be safe, he simply decided to wait for him here personally.

After all, his hobby was reading books! He would read books for several days at a stretch with no difference between reading at home or outside, and so he waited silently.

Who would have thought that after just one night, he would have indeed caught the “rabbit.”

…

Khadgar put his book away, shook the dew off his body, and calmly flew down from the tree.

The reason he was calm was because he knew that Su Yu couldn’t escape.

Su Yu’s magic was surely drained after his teleportation, and the little magic he had left would hardly be able to endure a chase from a legendary-level magic user.

So, he wasn’t in any hurry.

But what Khadgar didn’t expect was that Su Yu was in worse shape than he imagined.

As soon as he stepped out the teleportation portal, Su Yu felt dizzy and staggered, then fell straight onto the ground with a “thud.”

Su Yu’s dizziness was partly due to the spatial distortion caused by the long-distance teleportation, but it was mainly due to his depletion of magic.

At the moment, he only had 5% of his magic left, this was still possible after he borrowed a lot of equipment to increase his magic limit from Alyssa.

Now, the teleportation depleted his magic and he almost fainted due to the extremely insufficient magic. He could only resist with sheer willpower.

“I guess one should not attempt these kinds of long-distance teleportations rashly.” Su Yu thought to himself as he lied on the ground, panting heavily.

Just then, a blue-grey raven landed about two meters in front of him and transformed into a human shape.

Su Yu was shocked!

He didn’t expect that people from the Lai Yin Empire would arrive the moment he had teleported over!

Was this luck? He didn’t believe it was chance, could it be a real prophecy?

It seemed like he should not easily provoke the Lai Yin Empire in the future. The powerful people here were indeed able!

After the raven completed the transformation, Su Yu recognized the person.

This was Khadgar, a legendary magician proficient in arcane, ice, fire, and spatial magic. He specialized in the arcane system and was a powerful minister of the Lai Yin Emperor.

Khadgar gave Su Yu a magician’s salute and said with a smirk, “Your Excellency Nemesis, why didn’t you inform us before entering our territory? Do you feel we, Lai Yin Empire, are not worth a second glance?”

Khadgar picked up his staff, which looked like a chicken drumstick and swung it lightly. A circle of arcane energy fell heavily on Su Yu, thoroughly sealing him down.

Su Yu instantly felt as if a heavy mountain had fallen onto him, making it hard for him to breathe, his body felt unable to circulate any magic.

In a daze, he could almost understand the feeling of Sun Wukong being trapped under Mount Wuzhi centuries ago.

However, Su Yu gathered his strength and said, “Khadgar, I have urgent matters to discus with the Emperor of the Ghost Country, I came with sincerity!”

“Sincerity?” Khadgar looked doubtful: “Are you sure you are not here to assassinate?”

“How is it possible? I did not come to do any assassination. Am I that kind of person?” Su Yu defended himself.

“You are.” Khadgar nodded seriously.

Su Yu: “…”

After thinking for a while, he tugged at his necklace and drew out a letter.

This letter was written by Alyssa the previous night to the Lai Yin Emperor. It talked mainly about the alliance of the two sides to collectively tackle the Wind Chime Kingdom.

“Look at this, and you will understand everything.” Su Yu threw the letter to Khadgar with all his effort.

But Khadgar didn’t catch it. He retreated 15 meters in the blink of an eye and cautiously probed the letter that fell on the ground with magic to see if it contained any traps.

This scene left Su Yu both crying and laughing. But Khadgar’s vigilance made him admire him more.

Once he confirmed that the letter did not contain any traps, Khadgar used the Control Object System to pick up the letter and open it.

After reading the entire content of the letter, his countenance became severe because what Su Yu said was true and the seal of Alyssa was on the letter. The ink also seemed fresh.

However, Khadgar did not rashly lift the magic seal on Su Yu. What if Su Yu was really here to assassinate, and the letter was simply a ruse to make them put their guard down?

So he silently made a decision ─ at least until Su Yu leaves the Lai Yin Empire, he wouldn’t let down his guard for a single moment!

“Your Excellency Nemesis, please wait for a while, I’ll go and inform the Emperor about this and will be back soon.”

With that, Khadgar transformed back into a raven and flew towards the northwest.

Su Yu, who was helpless, could only open the official forum to kill some time by reading users’ chats.

The official forum was currently hotly debating Su Yu’s speech on the walls of Aphi City.

Once they heard that Prime Minister Cao indeed turned out to be the real Cao Cao from history, many were interested.

“I heard that Prime Minister Cao has a penchant for married women and widows. Does he still maintain this hobby now?” a player on the forum asked hypothetically.

“Perhaps…not. Humans’ mating seasons should have a limit. It’s been nearly 2000 years since the Three Kingdoms era, the Prime Minister’s estrus phase should already be over.” another player replied.

“Can you guys please not discuss such trivial questions?” very soon, another player replied to them: “Boss Ke made it clear, if we do not defeat the Skuru people, we will all die! Can we all focus on more important matters?”

“Alright, my bad, cough cough, let’s all focus on the right avenue.” The first player who asked the question replied.

Currently, under the guide of the government, the official forum has implemented a real-name method where you can see detailed information about a player, their name, age, and occupation through their profiles.

Otherwise, in the previous online environment, the first player to ask the question would definitely not admit he was wrong, but rather fight to the death and hurl insults.

Now with the real-name method in place, everyone is very well-behaved.

However, Su Yu did not chat in the official forum because with his current fame, even if he merely chats or talks nonsense, it would attract a lot of attention. Time was precious now, and he could not let players waste their energy on this, so he chose to stay silent whenever possible.

…

After more than ten minutes of waiting on his part, Khadgar finally arrived, taking his time.”
