Chapter 116: Chapter116-Master-tier Approaches
Outside the courtyard.
Charlotte paced anxiously outside the courtyard, occasionally looking inside, feeling both nervous and hesitant about whether she should go in and report.
Though she couldn’t see what was happening in the courtyard, she could hear the sounds of Mr. Owen and the lady clinking glasses.
Since she had been with the lady, Charlotte had never seen her drink so heartily; many times, it was just a sip, and then she would stop.
Only when she was with Mr. Owen did the lady seem different from usual, or perhaps that was her true self?
Charlotte didn’t know, but she had just received urgent news that had to be conveyed immediately to the lady and Owen.
While she was still hesitating, Leslie’s voice suddenly came from the courtyard.
“Is there something? Come in and say it.”
Hearing this, Charlotte immediately lowered her head and quickly walked into the courtyard.
Once inside, Charlotte was slightly surprised.
The courtyard was covered by the canopy of an ancient tree, its lush branches spreading like a giant green umbrella, completely covering the courtyard.
In the dappled shadows beneath the branches, Leslie leaned half-drunkenly on the stone table, her white jade hand supporting her flushed cheek, her eyes dreamy and entrancing.
Empty wine bottles covered the stone table around her, adding a charming aroma to the air.
Opposite her, Owen, also carried a hint of alcohol, his eyes locked with Leslie’s, creating a rather intimate atmosphere.
Charlotte didn’t know much about relationships, but seeing them like this, she could tell they genuinely had eyes for each other.
She couldn’t help but feel a bit emotional, as this was the first time she’d seen the lady act this way toward a man.
However, considering Owen’s talent, strength, his possession of the Godslayer Staff, and his role in overthrowing the Azure Royal Family, she thought perhaps only someone like Owen was worthy of her lady.
So, she pretended not to notice anything and kept her head down, looking at her toes as she quickly reported:
“Miss, I just received an urgent message that a master-tier strongman is on their way to the capital, causing a stir among many mages along the way, and they are coming with great momentum!”
A master-tier mage was approaching!
This was why she had to report, even though she knew that Miss and Mr. Owen were enjoying a sweet moment together.
It’s important to understand that Otto, the Chief Elder who had reached diamond-tier level 9, was already terrifyingly powerful enough to destroy a city, yet he was still not a master-tier mage!
He hadn’t even touched the level of a domain, which was worlds apart from a true master-tier mage!
You could say that even ten Ottos couldn’t match one master-tier mage!
One was in the sky, the other underground!
Otherwise, all the major powers wouldn’t regard master-tier mages as the core of a kingdom!
A kingdom with a master-tier mage seated and one without is as different as heaven and earth!
And now, such powerful individuals were coming aggressively!
However, contrary to Charlotte’s expectations, neither Owen nor Leslie showed fear; they only looked more serious.
“The master-tier mage coming, is it the former Chief Elder of the Council of Elders, William?”
The joy on Leslie’s face disappeared, and the hint of tenderness in her eyes was replaced by coldness.
Charlotte nodded repeatedly and added, “Not only Chief Elder William, but he also brought the Chief Elder of the Fallen Angel clan, who is also a master-tier mage!”
At this point, Charlotte’s voice grew heavier.
Two master-tier mages!
What kind of oppressive force is this?
It’s known that a single master-tier mage is a pillar of a kingdom.
They are enough to deter those surrounding nations with sinister ambitions.
Two master-tier mages are considered top-tier in any kingdom, and almost no kingdom would dare provoke them.
Although Miss and Mr. Owen’s strength was comparable to top diamond-tier mages, in front of a master-tier mage, a diamond-tier mage was like a child compared to an adult.
The difference in domains and mastery of [Order] is like the difference between a toddler taking their first steps and a grown man!
One can easily handle ten.
Yet, as Charlotte grew increasingly anxious, Leslie remained calm and said, “I understand. You may leave.”
Charlotte’s breathing was slightly hurried for a moment, but she knew that since the lady was not panicking, she likely had a strategy in mind, so she quickly turned and left.
After Charlotte retreated, Leslie shifted her gaze to Owen.
“Two master-tier powerhouses coming here really show how much they regard us. What do you think?”
Owen set down his wine glass and smiled.
“What else can we do? We’ll each take on one.”
Master-tier mages are indeed terrifying.
However, Owen felt confident in confronting such formidable opponents.
Because the skill he possessed, **Supreme Order**, allowed him to cross two tiers to defeat enemies.
This was the source of his confidence.
So what if they were master-tier mages?
He now had the strength to fight them!
Leslie couldn’t help but smile at Owen’s confidence.
It seemed that, in Owen’s eyes, master-tier mages were not fearsome at all, merely like roadside weeds and wildflowers. This kind of composure and confidence made her wonder what other cards he might be holding.
“Then let’s take one each; that keeps it simple. As long as we can keep them here forever, the throne of the Azure Kingdom will be as steady as a mountain.”
Leslie pondered for a moment and nodded slowly.
Although she had won over the people and gained the support of officials by killing Otto, destroying the Council of Elders, and subduing Stanley, other dynasties outside the Azure Kingdom had long been eyeing this piece of fat meat, though mutual deterrence kept them from acting.
Now, with two master-tier mages attacking, turning them into the founding battle for the Azure Kingdom seemed like a good plan!
Although she didn’t know what Owen’s confidence and trump cards were, Leslie had her own confidence.
The month was up, and the monster imprisoned on the first floor of the Dark Tower was once again ready to act.
…
At the same time, the citizens of the capital were still unaware of the impending arrival of two master-tier mages.
They were still immersed in the joy of Owen and Leslie defeating the two diamond-tier powerhouses.
Essentially, they didn’t care much about who won, as they would remain at the bottom regardless of the victor.
But after Leslie and Owen’s victory, the impact on them was minimized, with people even sent to help repair the houses damaged by the battle.
For them, this was a great blessing, like true deities.
Some citizens, whose homes and shops had collapsed, were singing and dancing, praising the Empress.
As for the downfall of the Azure Royal Family, they didn’t care at all; they only felt that with the current situation, Leslie and Owen were much more genuine than the Azure Royal Family.
Moreover, having these two strong, top-tier prodigies ruling the Azure Kingdom was an excellent thing for the millennia-old dynasty.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the prodigies of various forces who remained in the capital had no mind to celebrate, their faces replaced with shock and disbelief.
They had all received messages from their families or academies—two master-tier powerhouses were about to arrive in Azure Capital, and they were advised to leave as soon as possible!
With two master-tier mages taking action, the capital would become a living hell!
After all, the magic of a master-tier mage could already harness the power of the heavens and earth, carrying immense divine might!
Though the capital city seemed immense to the average person, in the eyes of master-tier mages, it was nothing significant.
“Former Chief Elder William and the Chief Elder of the Fallen Angel clan—these two are ruthless figures, and now they’re both here, it seems they intend to leave no escape for Owen and Leslie.”
“Yes, even the appearance of one master-tier mage would draw attention from many dynasties. Now that two are coming together, Owen and Leslie are truly in danger.”
“If Owen and Leslie had some time to grow, they might not fear master-tier mages, but now…”
Many prodigies who knew this news were full of shock. They originally gathered to discuss Owen and Leslie, but now the topic changed immediately.
After all, two master-tier mages taking action was something that hadn’t happened in a long time, especially targeting two juniors!
In a tavern where many prodigies gathered, the Sun-Moon Sect saintess Monroe glanced around at the crowd, feeling that these people held unrealistic fantasies about Owen and Leslie, and she frowned slightly.
“At this point, I think we should leave the capital quickly and watch from afar. With two master-tiers in action, the battle’s impact will be too terrifying. Owen and Leslie should have received this news as well. If they don’t leave, do they expect us to stay here and die with them?”
Saying this, Monroe stood up, ready to leave quickly to avoid becoming cannon fodder.
However, as she stood up to leave, she was suddenly surprised to find that everyone else was still seated calmly in the tavern, showing no sign of leaving.
