"Stop showing off; I have a task for you."
Adam squeezed Xiao Shui's body; it was smooth and tender, feeling very good to the touch.
"You and Xiao Lan go to the Royal Capital to find Leona. Go with her to the Eye of the Midnight Sun's base and take out those madmen."
Xiao Shui scratched his head and asked, somewhat confused, "I don't even know that woman?"
"Xiao Lan knows her. A wild woman."
Xiao Lan flew down from the sky, looking at Adam with a face full of fear. It really didn't want to see that crazy woman.
"Don't worry, she can't eat you."
Adam patted Xiao Lan's head, placed Xiao Shui on top of him, and said with a smile, "The important task of saving the country is entrusted to you."
"Don't worry, I've got this."
Xiao Shui patted his chest, confidently agreeing, while Xiao Lan looked somewhat resigned to his fate. It really didn't want to see that crazy woman.
"Roar!"
Looking at the Blue Dragon flying away into the sky, Adam's heart swelled with pride.
These two creatures possessed the immense magic power of an entire Magic Palace and were immortal. They could completely wipe out those madmen.
"Friend, come out! I know you're hiding there."
Adam turned around, his eyes sharply fixed on the front.
He had felt this presence earlier, but he hadn't made any rash moves. Instead, he waited until the two Water Dragon creatures had left before acting.
If he had let Xiao Shui try to catch this person directly, they would surely have fled faster than anyone.
"As expected of Adam. Even with my excellent concealment, you still found me."
William, wearing a red mask, darted out from behind a rock.
"You weren't trying to hide, were you? Captain William, no, I should call you Licht."
Adam looked at Licht with disdain. Could a rat hiding in the shadows really devour a tiger?
"To have guessed that, you truly are something."
William slowly removed his mask, and his cursed forehead, accompanied by a white light, transformed into Licht's appearance.
"Two souls in one body?"
"Correct."
"You are the mystery the Magic Emperor was going to unveil today? Why didn't you go to him, but instead came to me?"
Adam asked, somewhat puzzled.
Logically, he should be after the Magic Emperor; that guy with a grimoire bigger than a house was the real "trouble."
"Don't worry, once I've dealt with you, it'll be his turn."
Licht looked down at Adam, his right hand behind his back, as if holding something.
"You are a variable. Unless I eliminate you, I can't rest."
Whoosh!
Before Adam could react, Licht instantly teleported behind him, pulled out a golden cube, and slammed it directly into him.
"Is that all you've got?"
Adam quickly turned around, and a scorching beam of light from his right hand struck the golden cube.
Bang!
Adam's eyes widened. This was a perfect Dragon's Blast, yet it hadn't left a single mark on this cube.
"Feel honored! This is our clan's most precious treasure. We searched for a long time for a sinner like you."
Licht's face was contorted with rage. He seemed to already see Adam's demise, and this gratifying moment was finally at hand.
You hateful nut-crushing maniac, you must go to hell.
"Spirit Sealing Eye, release!"
With a crack, a blood-red eye grew out of the golden cube.
"Adam, be sealed!"
Adam was unable to move, illuminated by the blood-red eye. Even his Monkey transformation ability couldn't be used.
He had been careless.
The Spirit Sealing Eye, now divided into four small cubes, emitted a strange red light beam, sealing Adam within the cube's alternate dimension.
"Oh, and that move too."
With a crack, the four small cubes merged, and Adam's golden grimoire fell out from inside.
"Haha, I will make sure you never rise again."
Licht grabbed the Spirit Sealing Eye and violently slammed it into the volcano with a massive golden light sword.
Magma erupted anew. Licht enveloped the Spirit Sealing Eye with Light Magic, waved his hand downwards, and a ball of light entered the magma.
Licht wanted to block all possibilities of Adam's escape, to keep him imprisoned by the Spirit Sealing Eye forever, until his death.
"Huh? Where's his grimoire?"
Licht searched around frantically. He was curious about how that guy's grimoire differed from others.
A power that allowed a magic-less person to use, various miraculous spells, and even gain magic power.
"Never mind, the main task is more important."
Licht was out of time; he still had a major task to complete.
For the Elf Reincarnation Plan, he needed to retrieve the last two Magic Stones from the Magic Emperor... "Did Adam send you?"
The Royal Knights, just about to set off, were stopped by Xiao Shui.
The immense magic power of the two creatures made everyone think the Eye of the Midnight Sun had launched an attack.
Fortunately, Leona recognized the timid dragon, preventing the others from attacking.
"Boss sent me to help you."
Xiao Shui jumped off Xiao Lan's back and stood steadily on Leona's shoulder. This woman's aura was indeed easy to recognize.
Xiao Lan also shrunk to palm-size and stood on Leona's other shoulder, giving off a sense of a Sage Mode.
"How did you find us?"
Nozel asked with a grim expression.
The Royal Knights'Station was a top-level secret. He didn't believe anyone here would blab.
Not even his sister, the shorty standing behind him, or even Leona in front of him, would reveal such a secret.
The honor of the Clover Kingdom was above all else.
Could it be that Adam guessed it?
While Nozel was still pondering, Xiao Shui said, somewhat puzzled, "It's nothing big. We just arrived above a large castle, and a kind uncle stopped us. He told us."
"That blond uncle's personality was quite good, unlike that ugly guy with a crown below. His voice was like a duck's, really unpleasant."
Xiao Shui spread his hands, saying with some disdain, "So what if I collapsed his roof? It's no big deal."
"Right, Xiao Lan?"
"Roar!" Xiao Lan barked, indicating strong agreement.
"From your description, those two people sound like the Magic Emperor and the King."
Asta exclaimed, looking shocked.
He voiced everyone's thoughts. What exactly were these two creatures?
They were terrifying!
"Why would Adam send Xiao Lan to help Lady Leona?" Noelle muttered to herself.
She had a wild guess: Lady Leona's hair looked very similar to the hair on Adam's clothes that day.
No way!
Noelle looked at Leona with a shocked expression. This beast was very sensitive to being watched. She turned her head and met the gaze of the young girl.
"Noelle, is something wrong?"
"N-nothing."
Noelle stammered a bit. She immediately turned her head away, somewhat afraid to look at Leona anymore.
"This girl..."
Leona scanned the two small objects on her shoulders. This annoying brat, was he looking down on her?
He even sent two escorts!
"Spatial Magic Knight, open the teleportation."
"Yes."
Cobb used Spatial Magic to create a huge Spatial Tunnel.
"Depart!"
"Yes."
Everyone stepped into the white tunnel, heading to the Eye of the Midnight Sun's base, located in a Strong Magic Zone in the eastern part of the continent, a rock Magic Palace floating in the air.
