Reincarnation: The Soul of Dashul

Chapter 220: Risking Help

Night has fallen in the city of Mavaria, and the city's prosperity has reached its peak. The colorful magic neon lights illuminate the entire city, and all kinds of transportation vehicles are circling and flying, shuttling between the high-rise buildings.

In the streets and alleys, people gather in groups of three or five to enjoy delicious food and talk about life. The music in the squares continues, and people dance to the rhythm, releasing their inner passion and vitality.

The whole city is like a lighthouse that never goes out, attracting countless people to come and pursue joy. Here, it seems that everyone can find their own stage to show their talents and charm. This is a prosperous city full of vitality and hope.

Ledo and his group returned to the center of the city of Mavaria. He approached the wall of the room, which was covered with tall panoramic windows. He looked at the bustling world outside, his thoughts jumping around with the flickering light.

Ledo did not hate the hustle and bustle of this bustling city. This was his first time traveling alone in human civilization. The royal city he was about to go to was even more lively than this district city. He suddenly remembered the simplicity of the town of Smallville and missed the tranquility of the lakeside village. He was impressed by the vastness of the world.

In a few days, Ledo will embark on another expedition, bid farewell to this city, and continue to head to the capital of the Dashur Empire - the Royal City of Yggdrasil. He is waiting here, waiting for a reply from Maria's father.

Thinking of this, Ledo's expression suddenly changed, his eyes gradually became cold, the atmosphere around him became dark and depressing, and the air in the entire room began to be filled with cold water vapor again.

That year, Leido was only six years old, and he encountered a great change in his family. The descendants of six of the ten most famous Five Elements families in the Qianlis Empire were attacked and killed by a mysterious organization at the same time.

The Feng clan, to which Ledo's family belonged, was one of the targets of the attack. The clan members who had accompanied Ledo's mother on an outing, including the housekeeper, guards, men, women, young and old, and even the spiritual beasts, did not escape the disaster and were all slaughtered, with blood splattered for ten miles.

Ledo's mother hid Ledo and his younger brother in a hard-to-find cave and cast a powerful barrier to protect them while concealing all scent. They subsequently disappeared and there has been no trace of them to this day, so they are most likely dead.

The annoying thing is that Ledo doesn't remember anything. According to his aunt, it was Ledo's mother who sealed something in his forehead, affecting his memory. That seal was the most mysterious and powerful ancient secret in the family, and it was very overbearing. No one dared to lift it by force. After all, Ledo was too young.

So, although six-year-old Ledo had understood everything, he still didn't know the information of the attackers, their attire, their moves, or their skills and energy... There was no way to track them down. Even Ledo's uncle, the famous swordsman in the Qianlis Empire, was unable to track them down.

Ten major families were attacked and killed, and even the royal family lost many royal descendants. In the end, there was no way to investigate. This great shame and humiliation became a joke of the year. The ruling class of the Qianlis Empire was extremely angry. While ordering a blockade of the news, they used all means of the empire to track down the real culprit, but still to no avail, and the case became an unsolved mystery.

Ledo's aunt took him and his brother away secretly, wanting to stay away from trouble, but they were offered a high reward in cowrie shells and were almost slaughtered. Ledo's second uncle, Jinli, the Five Elements Thunder and Fire Hammer, even sacrificed himself to cast a forbidden spell, severely injuring the bounty hunter known as the Six Evil Spirits of the Dead, and died heroically in front of Ledo, leaving him with the deepest scar and shadow.

Now, Ledo finally has the opportunity to learn about the bounty mission of that year, and even know the person who issued the bounty. He wants to follow the clues and pull out the masterminds behind the scenes one by one to uncover the truth of that year. Such a blood feud cannot be left unrevenged.

Therefore, Ledo decided to take the risk of revealing his identity as a martial artist, but it was impossible for him to tell everything. He could only make up some reasonable excuses and ask Maria's father for help.

Naturally, Ledo still strictly followed the teachings of his adoptive mother and would not reveal his life experience easily. Making up a false life experience within a reasonable range was also Ledo's helpless act. He thought seriously that in the human society, apart from his relatives and friends, the only people who knew his identity as a martial artist were Zhou Zhengjing, Baidi Yingdai, Maria and her father.

The year the incident happened, Zhou Zhengjing had already been trapped in the ruins of Cerberus. He didn't even know about the attacks on the ten major families, and it certainly had nothing to do with what happened that year. He regarded Ledo as his savior and had been guiding Ledo in practicing sword techniques. This person could directly sense Ledo's five elements of spiritual power, and he couldn't hide it at all. Ledo could only reasonably make up his family's business background.

Although Baidi Yingdai and Maria are a little older than Ledo, they were still very young when the incident happened. The Qinchuan Empire and the Dashur Empire are thousands of miles away. They definitely have nothing to do with the incident that year. Even if they knew that Ledo was a martial artist, it would not be a big deal.

As for Philip, Ledo was the one who took a risk. Although he was Maria's father, he was a well-known magician after all, and he had so many complex social identities, especially as the leader of a bounty organization. If he himself was related to the bounty incident of that year, Ledo would undoubtedly be seeking his own death.

Ledo hesitated again and again, but still did not want to miss the opportunity to investigate. He thought that if Philip saw or inferred something from his request for help, wanted to continue to complete the mission of that year, and wanted to kill him, he could just run away. For the sake of family revenge, Ledo chose to take a gamble.

When Ledo was a guest in El Castle, he first took the initiative to visit Philip and stated that he was a martial artist. When he passed through the border of the Qianlis Empire, a robbery of goods occurred. The criminals were six dark shadows who called themselves the Six Enchantresses. The robbery caused casualties among the caravan guards and a large amount of property loss. The Ledo family also paid a lot of money, and he wanted an explanation.

Afterwards, Ledo deliberately challenged Zhou Zhengjing to a duel and demonstrated the Five Elements Sword Technique in front of Philip to confirm his statement. He wanted to see Philip's reaction and was ready to escape at any time.

However, Ledo found that Philip was only slightly surprised and had no great interest in Ledo's background, nor did he ask for details. He readily agreed to Ledo's request for help and immediately arranged for his subordinates to conduct an inquiry. He even asked the subordinate to contact Ledo directly without going through him because he was very busy and was afraid of delaying Ledo's business.

It seems that Ledo was judging others by his own standards. However, the incident with the Light and Shadow Society made Ledo feel the horror of an organization. "Zero" had actually infiltrated the schools of the empire. Before he left, Norman had warned Ledo not to trust a person easily, but Ledo was still extremely cautious.

At this moment, in the room on the top floor of the luxury hotel, Philip's face was livid, and he loudly scolded his subordinates: "Can't you handle such a small matter? Can't you even find out the person wanted for a bounty mission?"
