How come this mage can fight better than a warrior?
Chapter 64 Xue Family
After leaving the palace, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. If the prince found out, everyone would be finished. I just don't know if the old emperor will sell them out.
But even if the old emperor didn't betray them, the prince would surely find out sooner or later. It was only a matter of time before they were discovered.
Long Dong: "Where are we going next?"
Ultraman: "Let's go to the Xue family. Among the four great families, the Nakagawa family is the only one that does not participate in court disputes. The Xue family is the most powerful. As long as we can convince them, the production of magic cannons will not be a problem."
Long Dong was puzzled: "Can a family be so powerful? That's a weapon needed for an army of one million people. Could it be that their family has hundreds of thousands of people?"
Ultraman explained: "That's not the case. The Xue family is strong, but not so strong. However, the Xue family's influence is strong enough. As long as they are willing to help, with their appeal, whether it is money, connections or the required materials, it will not be a problem."
Long Dong: "We want to command or even order such a powerful family with just an imperial edict. I guess it's not realistic. And whether the emperor's order is still useful remains to be tested."
Long Dong questioned the power of his father's edict in front of Ultraman, which made Ultraman very upset. But what Long Dong said was not without reason.
The royal family is on the decline. Everyone knows that it is only a matter of time before the royal family is doomed. Why should they help a royal family that is about to be doomed?
In front of the Xue family mansion, Long Dong and others stood at the door.
Ultraman: "Please inform the Gakusho-sei clan leader. Just tell them that the prince Ultraman is here to visit." A man went in and came out after a while: "Sorry, please go back. The clan leader said he doesn't want to see you."
Liu Cheng said, "I am Liu Cheng, a subordinate of the Lian Shoucheng General. This is my seal. The Lian Shoucheng General has something to ask for the help of the Xue clan leader. The Xue family plans to watch the Huguo Pass being breached by the Jin army and then pretend that we have never been here."
The person who had just gone in to report went in again, and this time he came out after a long time. The man said, "I'm sorry, the clan leader said he doesn't want any visitors today."
Getting something for nothing. What a nice thought!
Long Dong couldn't help laughing when he saw the two people being humiliated. The last time, they should have directly refused. This time, they should have refused after weighing the pros and cons. It seems that neither the royal identity nor the military identity is very useful.
Seeing the person who made the announcement was about to leave, Long Dong pretended to be serious and said, "Please tell the clan leader that I will give him two choices. One is to invite us in, and the other is for us to go in by ourselves. If you invite us in now, I will pretend that you rejected us twice just now. If you let us go in by ourselves, we will bear the consequences ourselves. I will wait here for three minutes. If you don't come out in three minutes, we will go in too."
The man was about to say something when Long Dong threw him in: "Hurry up, there are only two minutes left."
The guards at the door were all stunned. Long Dong didn't take their Xue family seriously. You have to know that Xue Suocheng, the patriarch of the Xue family, is a powerful master. The face of the joint defense of the city is not good. What is Long Dong planning to do?
Ultraman and Liu Cheng were shocked by Long Dong's action. Ultraman said anxiously: "Long Dong, what are you going to do? Don't be impulsive. You will offend the scientist if you do this."
Liu Cheng was also startled by Long Dong's sudden action. Long Dong was clearly looking for trouble.
Long Dong said with an indifferent expression: "Since you have all been rejected, why not let me give it a try? I'll give it a try. Sometimes it's okay to be a little tough when asking someone to do something for you."
Ultraman's heart skipped a beat: It's over, it's all over. Why is he still asking for help with such a tough attitude? Isn't this stupid? He shouldn't be more humble when asking for help. He thought Long Dong was a talent at first. Now he is just a fool.
The man came out again. This time his attitude was extremely tough: "All of you, get out. The tribe leader said he doesn't want to see you again. If you don't leave, we will drive you away."
Ultraman Liu Cheng turned around and was about to leave, but Long Dong covered them with frost, freezing them where they were.
Long Dong shook his head arrogantly: "I want to know how you plan to make me get out? I don't know how. How about you ask Xue Suocheng to show us how to do it."
Long Dong was about to go in with the man. The guard at the door stopped him immediately: "How dare you..." Before the guard finished speaking, frost covered his entire body. The man was instantly frozen.
The people in the academy immediately panicked when they saw this. They shouted loudly and surrounded Long Dong. Long Dong didn't waste any words.
Covered in frost. The entire school was covered by a huge magic circle. The temperature dropped sharply in an instant. Those who were close to Long Dong were frozen in an instant. Others wanted to escape when they saw this. Long Dong gave them a look and everyone was frozen in place.
Magic came from a distance. Long Dong dodged sideways. It was a kid, only fifteen or sixteen years old. The man in Long Dong's hand said hoarsely: "Young Master, run."
Long Dong smiled and said, "Oh, it looks like there's a big fish." The child also wanted to run away. Long Dong dropped the man in his hand and chased the child. The child was caught up before he ran two steps. Long Dong grabbed him and lifted him up.
The kid was a little angry: "Let me go, or my grandfather will not let you go." As soon as he finished speaking, Longdong stuffed ice into his mouth. Longdong tied the kid's hands behind his back with a rope. Longdong hung the kid on a tree. The kid struggled desperately but couldn't get free.
Suddenly, Long Dong felt a wave of heat coming. The ice and frost around him melted quickly. An old man flew in the air. The old man held a flame magic in his hand. It melted the ice and frost quickly. In just a moment, everyone was rescued.
The man who came was a disciple of the clan leader, a high-ranking fire mage, and also a weapon forging master.
Xue Suocheng was drinking tea leisurely in his house. But he didn't know that the prince sent someone to threaten him. If Xue Suocheng didn't agree to the prince's request, the prince would send someone to kill Xue Suocheng.
The prince's requirements: First, the scholars must not help the alliance defend the city. Second, the scholars must help the prince successfully ascend the throne. Third, they must pay protection fees to the prince. Fourth, the scholars must hand over the young master to the prince as a hostage to ensure the scholars' loyalty. Fifth, they must marry Xue Caiyun to the prince to establish a good relationship between the two families. Sixth, they must build a batch of weapons for the prince...
Xue Suocheng was furious when he heard the request. He beat the messenger without hesitation. The messenger fled away in disgrace.
Xue Suocheng had just calmed down when another prince came. After Xue Suocheng refused, Lianshoucheng sent another person. Xue Suocheng refused without thinking. Xue Suocheng knew that they all came to ask for his help.
Xue Suocheng knew that no matter who he helped, he would offend the rest. In order not to get involved in the dispute, Xue Suocheng decided not to help anyone. No matter who helped, it would not work.
Xue Suocheng has the strength of a noble. With him in charge of the academy, the prince can only talk but not take action. What's more, the academy is full of masters. According to the strength of the academy, it is second to none in the entire Wu Kingdom.
Xue Suocheng naturally looked down on Ultraman and Liu Cheng, a lonely prince and a frontier warrior. As for Long Dong, he was extremely arrogant. Xue Suocheng looked down on him even more. Xue Suocheng thought Long Dong was an incompetent and angry person. That's why he asked them to get out.
Little did they know that Long Dong did not follow the routine. He chose to force his way in. They thought Long Dong was a third-rate junior. Unexpectedly, Long Dong was extremely powerful. The scientist suffered a great loss.
The kid was still hanging on the tree. Xue Suocheng was ready to rescue him. Long Dong saw this and picked up two small stones.
Long Dong threw a ball towards the rope. The rope broke with a sound. The kid fell down.
Xue Suocheng saw the kid falling and stretched out his hand to catch him. Long Dong threw another small stone. This time it hit Xue Suocheng's arm directly. Xue Suocheng's arm hurt and he failed to catch the kid. The kid fell flat on his face.
Xue Suocheng looked at Long Dong with anger on his face. Long Dong simply ignored him and whistled.
Xue Suocheng pointed at Long Dong and shouted angrily: "Enough, I know it's you."
