Chapter 1120 Gold coin

What the fuck? Try again?!

When the bounty hunter saw the words written on the ground by Old Xu, he got so angry he nearly flipped out. “Who’re you? Why did you disguise yourself as one of the bandits?”

Old Xu wrote on the ground in response. But just two strokes in, the branch in its hand snapped. As such, Old Xu went to search for another branch while the bounty hunter waited in confusion.

After a while, Old Xu finally found another branch. Then it kneeled on the ground again and wrote, “None of your business.”

The bounty hunter sneered, “Are you making fun of me?”

Old Xu shook its head and wrote on the ground, “Why do you want to kill Melgor?”

“I get it now. You must be the one protecting Melgor.” The bounty hunter’s voice slowly turned solemn. “Those two bounty hunters sent to kill him previously were also killed by you, right? And their Eyes of True Sight must be in your possession too?”

Old Xu wrote on the ground, “You can say that.”

Ren Xiaosu was still at the camp at this moment. When he heard through Old Xu’s perception what the other party said, he thought to himself, ‘They’ve already sent three bounty hunters after Melgor. Taking them out one by one like this, I’ll probably attract a bunch of enemies to me. Who knows, an archmage might even get involved personally and deal with me.’

That would really be great!

The bounty hunter started laughing. “I’m really lucky then. I’ll just need to kill you, and I can retrieve their Eyes of True Sight in one fell swoop.”

Old Xu expressed some puzzlement and wrote on the ground, “You that tough?” Just as Old Xu was writing with its head lowered, the bounty hunter launched a sneak attack. Two streaks of ice shot out from under his feet again.

Those two intimidating icy blue streaks resembled two interweaving azure dragons as they forged ahead. But when they got to Old Xu’s feet, the shadow clone did not seem affected by the spell at all!

The bounty hunter was stunned again. “What the hell are you? Why aren’t you affected by my Ice Seal spell?”

But Old Xu did not intend to waste any more time explaining to him. It conjured a black saber in its hand, and with a darting step, rushed to the front of the bounty hunter and thrust the black saber into his heart.

However, something weird happened. As the bounty hunter slowly fell to the ground, the blood spurting out of his chest started flowing on the ground.

As the trickle of blood moved, a strange magic circle was drawn onto the ground in a mere three seconds.

Then a blast of cold air burst out through the circle. Instantly, the dense air solidified near its center and formed into an ice bust of a person.

When the ice sculpture opened its mouth, an elderly voice spoke, “Who activated the Bloodline Summoning spell—”.

The ice sculpture suddenly stopped mid-sentence because Old Xu was poking at its nostrils with the branch it just used to write on the ground. Ren Xiaosu could see via Old Xu’s perception that the ice sculpture resembled a dignified elder whose facial features included a strange hook nose and extremely deep-set eyes. From what the ice sculpture had just said, its appearance here was probably related to the bounty hunter. However, Ren Xiaosu found it surprising. So it turned out there were such strange spells in the Kingdom of Sorcerers. When the ice sculpture appeared, Ren Xiaosu could feel the temperature around Old Xu drop by at least 30 degrees Celsius.

Compared to this spell, Melgor’s Wind Bind and Earth Bind spells were way too crappy.

It was no wonder Melgor always claimed to be just a fringe figure. So it turned out the sorcerer clans indeed controlled some pretty mysterious spells. In that case, it was better for him to tread carefully.

At this moment, Ren Xiaosu’s usual contempt for Mel surfaced again. Meanwhile, the ice sculpture opposite Old Xu was completely enraged.

In all these years, this was the first time someone poked his nostrils with a branch while he was speaking!

The ice sculpture floated in midair. He formed a pair of hands using the frosty air and crushed the branch poking his nostrils. Then he said in a deep voice, “You killed a member of my clan?”

Old Xu thought for a moment before squatting down to write on the ground with its black saber, “Cut the crap.”

The ice sculpture remained in stunned silence for a long time, not knowing how to react.

In his opinion, everyone in the entire Kingdom of Sorcerers should recognize his face. As such, instead of arguing with him here, everyone should feel a sense of fear and awe the moment he appeared!

The ice sculpture suddenly laughed. “Interesting. You can still remain this calm after seeing me. You don’t look like a grown-up to me, young man. As someone who’s been through it all, I used to be ignorant and shot my mouth off like you when I was younger—”

Before he could finish speaking, he saw White Mask squat down in front of him again and write, “Yeah, you certainly came through that circle, alright! Where did you come from? Did I ask you over?”

It was at this moment that the ice sculpture realized the two of them were on totally different wavelengths. There was no way to communicate!

No, the other party was, in fact, not interested in communicating with him. He was just messing around and trying to confuse him with those nonsensical replies!

Thinking of this, the ice sculpture stopped talking. He placed his hands together and turned from an ice sculpture into an icy crystalline falcon before soaring at Old Xu.

The falcon was extremely swift and went for Old Xu’s face like lightning. Old Xu slashed at it with the black saber head-on, but the falcon turned into a frosty gust and dodged the attack. After the black saber’s blade passed through it, the frosty gust transformed back into its falcon form and forcefully ripped off Old Xu’s white mask.

Ren Xiaosu finally realized the other party’s intention was to uncover Old Xu’s mask so he would know who to look for to seek revenge on at a later date.

From this, it could be seen that the other party was unable to fully wield his powers in this summoned state. Otherwise, he would have just fought Old Xu without the need for so much trouble.

However… when the ice falcon removed Old Xu’s mask, the sorcerer was shocked to discover there was no face underneath it. There was only a cloud of black mist!

Honestly, not even the most powerful sorcerers of the ancient clans in this current era had seen such a strange sight before!

Before the sorcerer could think any further, Old Xu swung its saber at the ice falcon that was flying away, shattering it into pieces.

Ren Xiaosu thought to himself, ‘This old man seems pretty famous. He sounded like everyone should know him and even expects to be recognized from his appearance as an ice sculpture.’

But it just so happened that Ren Xiaosu was from another land.

Ren Xiaosu made Old Xu pick up the orange Eye of True Sight on the ground before disappearing into the wilderness.

The crowd at the camp gradually grew relieved as they noisily discussed things among themselves.

They were not as panicky anymore, since a powerful sharpshooter had emerged in their caravan.

At this moment, everyone was lauding Qian Weining’s amazing archery, or rather, it was mainly Qian Weining’s guards who were flattering him.

Ren Xiaosu glanced at the crowd and whispered to Melgor, “Are there any people in the Kingdom of Sorcerers that everyone knows? Like someone who’s known to everyone.’

“Of course there are.” Melgor smiled and took out a gold coin from his sleeve. “Here. Their portraits are engraved on either side of the gold, silver, and copper coins in the kingdom. Everyone knows them.” Melgor thought he was being witty and cleverly answered the question. As for Ren Xiaosu, he got the correct answer he needed.

Ren Xiaosu pointed to the old man on the obverse of the gold coin and asked, “Who’s this?”

“He’s the current head of the House of Tudor. Since 40 years ago, he’s had his bust engraved on the obverse of all gold coins issued by the mint.”

“What about the reverse side?”

“The bust of the current head of the House of Norman is engraved on the reverse. The two black Eyes of True Sight that I mentioned are in their possession.”
