Defying the Fate of Beheading

Chapter 166: The Black Swan Exposed Your Highness What Are You Doing?


Louis and the little swan explained their guesses about these two brief messages.

Olivia lowered her head, and after a moment said:

"If it's really as you say, then Louis, you might indeed be in big trouble."

Louis nodded:

"Yes, if our arrival caused Tunisia to free up a batch of troops, these troops are probably meant to deal with the Jade Phoenix Mage, right?"

"Or to be more precise, the thing the Jade Phoenix Mage sealed, right?"

"Only this way does it reasonably explain how our arrival can activate this war machine."

"Because initially it was their problem to handle, but now it's been thrust upon us."

The corner of the little swan's mouth curved into a vague smile:

"And you bumped into it yourself."

William also chimed in:

"Your Highness, if that's the case, then going to retrieve the Jade Phoenix Mage's inheritance this time has greatly increased in danger level."

"Simply relying on us, I'm afraid it's not enough to be secure."

Louis looked at the little swan and said:

"How long until the person sent by the Grand Speaker arrives at the Tunis Imperial Capital?"

"Tomorrow they'll be here, tonight I'm coming over to talk to you about this."

Louis looked at William:

"William, you go out first, Olivia and I have something to discuss."

William gave Louis a look with a subtle expression, said nothing, and left directly.

Only then did Louis turn his gaze to the little swan:

"You've put me in a difficult position!"

The little swan chuckled:

"Consider it punishment for bullying me last time."

Louis shook his head: "Tell me what's happening on Mage Fox's side."

The little swan nodded obediently.

She felt that if she continued being cheeky, Louis might actually spank her until her butt was swollen.

So she quickly said:

"Mage Fox is a member of our Ense Court Mage Corps."

"Years ago he was a lecturer at Saint Louis Academy."

"Before he left, he even taught me a few magic theory classes."

"Around twenty years ago, he changed his profession to a Jade Phoenix Mage, becoming the Guardian of our Ense Jade Phoenix Mage inheritance."

Olivia pondered for a moment, finally deciding to reveal some details to Louis.

"In fact, the Jade Phoenix Alliance previously had two legends, two demigods."

"Among them, except for the Grand Speaker, one demigod, two legends, and four exemplary Jade Phoenix Mages, are all our Ense people."

Louis hissed.

This isn't a Jade Phoenix Alliance, it's practically an Ense Alliance.

He understood why the Jade Phoenix Alliance opened an online meeting room, and why there weren't that many participants.

Upon entering, there were distinctly two groups, Ense people and foreigners.

Who can withstand this!

The little swan said innocently:

"It's not our fault! Almost half of the Nine Swords professionals are Ense people, and if you count Ense's allies, they occupy the majority."

"The Jade Phoenix Mage is inherently a Nine Swords advanced profession."

"From a numerical standpoint alone, having so many Jade Phoenix Mages come from Ense is quite normal."

"If it weren't for knowing we'd be in power, making us easier targets for other Jade Phoenix Mages, and if the Grand Speaker weren't strong, he might not have become the leading figure among the Jade Phoenix Mages."

But she quickly sighed again and said:

"Now probably some people can feel somewhat better, considering we've lost a legend and an exemplar."

Louis looked at her thoughtfully and said:

"So what exactly is Mage Fox coming to execute?"

Olivia said: "Two tasks, the first is the suppression work of the partial body of the Exile World Serpent that you previously learned about."

"This is the duty of the Jade Phoenix Mage, if one doesn't follow the contract to seal the thing, the power of the Emerald Sacrifice would be weakened."

Louis nodded to show his understanding.

The Jade Phoenix Mage's level 10 skill [Emerald Sacrifice], creates three effects altogether.

The first effect, deals massive self-destructive damage to the enemy.

The second effect, casts Resurrection Technique on oneself.

The third effect, launches a judgment against non-Star Continent creatures, if they fail the native creature judgment, they will be forcibly exiled to the outer realm or even the astral realm by the emerald fire.

And the foundation for the existence of the Jade Phoenix Mage's profession is fulfilling the [Exile World Serpent] contract.

Fox will come to Tunisia because there's part of the World Serpent's body divided here from years ago.

This monster is just too formidable.

Even if its body has been broken into several pieces, mages occasionally use [Emerald Sacrifice] to blast parts of its body out of the Star Continent.

But after some time, the mutual attraction between its origins would pull its body back to the continent.

That's when the Jade Phoenix Mages need to go to clear it.

Simply put, keep blowing it up.

Anyhow, don't give it the chance to heal.

If it returns to its peak form, everyone will be in trouble.

Olivia continued:

"His second matter here is upon hearing that a large space weak point has appeared in Tunisia, located in some region around the Imperial Capital."

Louis furrowed his brow:

"Does this matter have any direct connection to him? Does he need to come here for support?"

Olivia shook her head:

"It has no direct relation to him, but the previous Jade Phoenix Mage, Mr. Fox's mentor, died sealing that opening."

"It was at the moment of his death that he designated Mr. Fox as the next Jade Phoenix Mage."

"It's said that when Mr. Fox passed by here, he found the surrounding space nodes were off, so he stayed to try and repair the nodes."
