Chapter 10: Crisis in the Faroe Kingdom

Translator: editor3 

Lei Luo was rather familiar with this red-robed mage. Every time the second prince had come to read, he would accompany him.

Lei Luo was a little surprised. Looks like the second prince has become the king.

This second prince usually looked very refined and peaceful. He also liked to read. He had not expected to be successfully crowned as the king.

However, Lei Luo did not care.

To him, no matter how great the power of a king was, it was not as refreshing as practicing martial arts.

Next, the group of red-robed mages began to set up, and the swordsmen began to search the library for dangerous people or items.

Lei Luo did not stay idle either. He tidied up the room where the second prince often stayed.

An hour later, a group of extremely majestic and huge guards of honor headed towards the library. Needless to say, this must be the carriage of the new Faroe King.

Compared to the original lineup of the second prince, it was much more imposing now. Not only was there a large group of powerful red-robed mages guarding it, but there were even two purple-robed great mages accompanying it beside the carriage.

It displayed the majesty of the King.

Lei Luo stood beside the many mages who had come and waited quietly. It was as if he was just an ordinary student of the academy.

Soon, the carriage stopped, and a tall figure stepped down.

The second prince who had become the king did not wear solemn attire. He just wore a simple ceremonial robe, neither did he hold a scepter that symbolized authority. Instead, he was respectfully presented by a purple-robed great mage beside him.

At this moment, his bearing was so imposing that people did not dare to look at him directly.

Suddenly, the king’s gaze swept across the crowd as he said indifferently, “Lei Luo.”

“Your Majesty.”

Lei Luo walked out from the crowd and bowed slightly.

He could sense that this new king had many powerful elemental mage guards around him. On the surface, the strongest one was a seventh-level elemental mage. However, Lei Luo could sense at least five particularly secretive auras.

They were all high-level elemental mages.

After all, he was the new Faroe King, so the protection around him must be top quality.

“Lei Luo, follow me to the forbidden bamboo forest.”

Faroe King looked at Lei Luo and nodded slightly.

After that old student had died, Lei Luo was the only librarian. Perhaps he had some kind of connection with the legendary great wizard Snake God.

As the new King of Faroe, he was qualified to know these important secrets.

The great wizard Snake God had entered the Bamboo Forest of the Hiro Magic Academy 20 years ago to live in seclusion. At that time, he was only a few years old. The main purpose of his visit this time was to meet the great wizard Snake God, who had once shocked the middle-earth.

There was a rumor spreading outside that the great wizard Snake God had died in the forbidden land because he was unable to break through to become an ultimate mage.

The great wizard Snake God was the pillar of the Faroe Kingdom. It was because of his existence that the Faroe Kingdom had been peaceful for the past few decades.

The powerful superpowers such as the Holy Slan Empire, the Sun Sect, the Holy Court, the Palace of gods, and the Constellations Palace did not dare to offend the Faroe Kingdom.

However, now the great wizard Snake God had disappeared from the middle-earth and the old king had passed away. They continued to investigate the Faroe Kingdom in secret like a pack of hungry wolf cubs who had found an injured lion, when they saw an opportunity, they would rush forward together and tear the lion into pieces.

Fortunately, the arrangements the old king had made before his death had slightly stabilized the situation. However, this was ultimately not a stable, long-term strategy.

Recently, the situation was getting worse. The kingdom was already showing signs of collapse.

The prestige of the Faroe Kingdom was weakening day by day. It was not enough to suppress the other powers. The Slan Empire had even sent out an army of 100,000 troops to the borders of the two countries, ready to start a war at any time.

Therefore, the new king of Faroe was most worried about whether the great wizard Snake God was still alive. Only with him around could he use powerful magic to protect the dignity of the kingdom.

“Yes, Your Majesty,” Lei Luo answered

Then, he turned his body slightly and followed the king into the library.

The two purple-robed great mages wanted to follow him in but were stopped by the king.

Many mages were jealous of Lei Luo because the king had him by his side, which represented a kind of trust. Although they could not figure out how a lowly library sweeping guy could gain the king’s favor.

…

The forbidden bamboo forest.

The king stood on the path in the bamboo forest.

“Lei Luo, do you know the Great Wizard Divine Snake?” the king suddenly asked.

“Your Majesty, I heard the old senior speak about him before he died,” Lei Luo replied.

The king did not say anything. He just stood there and looked at the deep darkness at the end of the tunnel.

Lei Luo just stood there next to him. Just like that, they stood there for more than an hour.

The king suddenly sighed.

He knew that the great wizard Snake God would not come out to see him.

Senior Moseley, are you still alive?

The king thought in disappointment.

Although he really wanted to barge in and see the true face of the great wizard Snake God, his reason told him that he could not do that.

If Moseley was still alive, that would be great. But if he was already dead, the consequences would be too severe. The world would probably be overturned, and the Faroe Kingdom would never be peaceful again.

This might be the best for the Faroe Kingdom.

The king thought for a long time, then turned around and walked back towards the library.
