Chapter 504: Night Raid on Sakakami’s Home
After walking to the registration area of the martial arts conference and paying the registration fee, Lei Luo thought about Musashi Miyamoto’s words as he walked back to the restaurant. The next step was to make a trip to Sakakami’s home.
In Musashi Miyamoto’s words, there was only one country in the devil world. The people there had extremely strong physiques. Moreover, magic was severely restricted there. There was even a large-scale anti-magic area in the Devil Kingdom’s capital city.
The people there loved to fight. In terms of martial strength, the most powerful person was the king of the demon country, the demon lord. Musashi Miyamoto had only stayed in the capital city for a period of time, so he didn’t know much about the specifics.
The flowers that Lei Luo wanted to know appeared in many places. Musashi Miyamoto didn’t know what kind of flowers Lei Luo wanted either, so this matter was put on hold. He would only find out when Lei Luo went to the side of the gate of the demon world.
He walked to the vicinity of Sakakami’s house. It was very quiet there. After all, they were nobles responsible for the sacrifices, so they didn’t need too many people to guard it. There were only two armored soldiers at the door, which took up a large area. From Afar, there were many fake mountains and fake water. It looked like a fairyland on Earth.
After a short turn, Lei Luo returned to his room in the restaurant. The magic communication device he left behind was in contact with Morton alone. Now, Lei Luo’s plan was going very smoothly, especially with the help of Charlotte. The establishment of the fleet also followed.
Satan’s Wings was also a force that could not be underestimated. It was slowly encroaching on the territory of the original great pirates. Morton and Katz had also been very busy during this period of time, catching the spies sent by the other alliances.
However, they were not in a hurry to remove these nails. They planned to wait for Lei Luo to return and deal a big blow to these people. This third province was the gathering place of the empire’s military power. It could be said to be the empire’s insect breeding ground. The forces inside were complicated as there were countless dukes and kings behind it.
They planned to consolidate all the forces in their hands before starting to expand. Lei Luo agreed with this very much. However, they still allowed them to establish a new mecha force. When Allie woke up, she would be able to adapt to it. The instructors of the East God’s old troops that were left behind before the last battle could accomplish this goal.
Soon, night fell. Lei Luo waited until the curfew began. Then, he jumped down from the window and headed straight for Sakakami’s house.
Although he did not know how strong Sakakami’s house was in terms of defense, mages had many different abilities. It would be easy for a mage like Lei Luo, because even if he stood in front of a grandmaster of the same level, he might not be able to detect Lei Luo.
After climbing over the wall and activating [invisibility] and [breath holding], Lei Luo could see the entire place at a glance.
The building here was a little tall, and there were sounds of people having fun inside. Lei Luo knew that he was very close to the center, so he slowed down and slowly approached the center.
The closer he got to the center of the fog, the more uneasy Lei Luo felt. In the blink of an eye, he saw a tall altar standing in the center of the fog. Lei Luo did not hesitate and walked up the stairs to the altar.
In the blink of an eye, a woman dressed in a witch’s uniform knelt in the middle of the altar. Her snow-white neck stretched out like a swan.
"Hello, mysterious person."
The woman seemed to be surprised by Lei Luo’s arrival. She just stood up and looked at Lei Luo with a smile.
"Did you know that I would come?"
Lei Luo was a little confused. The fact that he had removed the magic around him was too unbelievable.
"My name is Shinji Sakurakami. Rather than saying that I only know that someone will come and take the tomes of arcane, I don’t know who it is."
Lei Luo only wanted to take the tomes of arcane. Although the woman in front of him looked extremely beautiful, Lei Luo was a little afraid of her.
"There’s no need to be so defensive. The tomes of arcane are indeed with me, but if the tomes of arcane leave me, I won’t be able to open it and complete the ritual."
He didn’t expect the tomes of arcane and the ritual to have such a relationship. If he couldn’t complete the ritual, wouldn’t he be unable to go to the gate of the Devil Realm? He didn’t know about this, so it seemed like he wouldn’t be able to achieve his goal.
"I know you need the tomes of arcane, but I have a way to complete the ritual. But if you take the tomes of arcane, you have to take me away from here."
The woman was smiling, and even her brows and eyes looked easy. However, she stared at Lei Luo’s conflicted expression.
"Why should I take you away from here? What do you want to do?"
"I just want to leave this place. As for the tomes of arcane, they’re just supplementary items."
The woman took out an extraordinary-looking steel book and said to Lei Luo, "I don’t have any ulterior motives. Don’t worry. I’ve never left the Sakakami family in my entire life. I just want to go out and take a look. As for your arrival, it’s the combination of the tomes of arcane and one of the altar’s functions, which is the ability to predict."
"The reason why the Sakurazaka clan has been so stable for so many years is that the rulers of each generation don’t want the ability to predict to be mastered by others. However, the witches of each generation can only stay near the altar. Otherwise, the rulers of the Sakurazaka clan will erase it. This tradition has been maintained for thousands of years. This is also our mission."
Shinji Sakurakami answered the question in Lei Luo’s heart with a hint of loneliness.
"Aren’t you afraid that the general will find out about Sakuraku’s family?"
"It doesn’t matter. The ceremony is about to begin. The general has been busy with the martial arts competition during this period of time. As long as I return before the ceremony, it will be fine."
Since he had already said so much, Lei Luo couldn’t say anything. He brought her to his side and observed her carefully. Then, he knew what she was going to do.
He cast his own magic on her and quickly brought her away. It was as if no one had come to this altar. It gave off an aura that made it look like no one was allowed to enter.
In the attic not far away, an old man dressed in white sighed and said, "Is this your choice?"
He said to the air beside him, "The lady has already gone out. Don’t let anyone near the altar."
The air seemed to fluctuate as a low voice sounded.
"Yes."
The old man only said in a weathered tone, "The fate of a thousand years has come to an end."
After that, there was no one left, and only the words that were still echoing in the empty hall.
…
Lei Luo looked at the young girl beside him and revealed a troubled expression. Just as she had said, she was like a person who had never seen the world. After taking two steps, she made Lei Luo stop and wait for her.
Even though there was no one around, the girl was still enjoying the night scene. Lei Luo slowed down as well. The opening ceremony of the martial arts competition was going to be held the next day. Although Lei Luo was very confident in his strength, he still wanted to talk to her.
A team of guards was still patrolling the surroundings. Lei Luo brought true silk Sakuraku to hide from the guards and return to the restaurant.
The sky was already bright, and Lei Luo did not need to sleep. He helped this troublemaker change her clothes, face, and figure before heading to the martial arts competition. He could only bring her to the blacksmith shop that day.
