Chapter 138: Rescue Stanton
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Everything in Rock City was gradually on the right track.
The communication with the cities along the railway was going very smoothly. Bart and the others were forging steel, and they had also entered the stage of mass production.
It was believed that it would not be long before they could start laying the railway smoothly. Alan once again resumed his daily life of opening a tavern.
Because the dwarves had been busy with the new task of laying the railway, the progress of the fog cannons and air purifiers that helped the Abyss to build had become very slow.
On the contrary, the tree species were growing unusually smoothly by the elves. After the magic array was built, they would first send the first batch of tree species to Abyss and let the demons plant the trees first. Then, they would pour magic power into the trees continuously.
Until the news came from the Imperial City.
At this time, it had been half a month since Wayne left Rock City. Finally, there was good news.
“Alan, come and take a look. This is the news Grimm brought back!”
Yupanki saw Grimm hovering in the sky in the backyard early in the morning.
He called Grimm down and took out the information. After reading it once, he quickly looked for Alan to share the good news.
Grimm stood on the short branch and tilted its head slightly. Its small black bean eyes were filled with doubt. Its walnut-sized brain was not enough to support it to quickly understand its master. Why was Yupanki treated it differently today. Yupanki used to play with it for a while, then fed it delicious meat, and then left.
Alan heard Yupanki’s shout and quickly came to the backyard from the tavern’s lobby.
“Is there news from Uncle Wayne and Olivia?”
The slightly excited voice made Yupanki clearly feel how happy Alan was at the moment.
“Yes, it’s definitely good news. Come and take a look!”
Alan took a thin piece of paper from Yupanki. On it, he briefly described everything that had happened in the past half a month.
After quickly browsing through the information and digesting it, a relaxed smile appeared on Alan’s face.
“That’s great. It’s great that everyone is safe and sound. According to the information, Uncle Wayne will be back soon.”
“Yes, it’s finally over. This war without any smoke…”
Yupanki sighed. He was already very grateful that he had been spared once as an enemy and was given such an important position. However, he did not know how long he would be able to stay in the tavern this time.
“Uncle Wayne is indeed amazing. He has only been in Imperial City for half a month, and he has already settled everything.”
Alan’s gaze was still fixated on the information on the paper, confirming it over and over again. He did not even notice the change in the mood of the people around him.
After receiving the news from the imperial capital, Alan was in a great mood. Many things had happened in Imperial City in the past half a month, and the whole process was far more exciting than anyone could imagine.
…
Half a month ago, the first night Wayne came to Imperial City.
During the day, he discussed a plan with Olivia. At night, when it was late at night, Wayne quietly snuck Olivia out of the princess’s residence.
Without alerting anyone, the two successfully entered the fifth prince’s residence.
The entire prince’s residence was covered with a layer of strange energy. After entering the residence, even Wayne’s perception was cut off. Fortunately, Olivia had some experience in finding people, so she managed to find Stanton’s location with a little bit of time.
But that rat scared Wayne quite a bit.
Wayne brought Olivia to the small courtyard where Stanton was imprisoned. At such a close distance, they still couldn’t sense the other party’s aura.
The two of them were on guard. If they accidentally fell into the enemy’s nest, they would really become food delivery.
“Uncle Wayne, what should we do next? Should we just barge in?”
Olivia asked Wayne in a low voice.
The only room in the courtyard was still lit up, and one could vaguely see a figure shaking inside. However, that figure did not look like Stanton.
“Well, let’s just barge in. You follow me closely!”
After saying that, Wayne jumped off the roof. That layer of energy seemed to only have the effect of isolating one’s senses. He passed through the energy layer and did not have any special reactions.
Seeing that there was no change in the courtyard, Olivia knew that it was safe, so she jumped down as well.
“How is it? Shall we just barge in?”
After entering the courtyard, Olivia looked around and did not find anything wrong.
Wayne stared at the shadow printed on the window. He felt that this shadow had an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but he could not think of anything for a while.
“This is a bit strange. This courtyard, can that rat really be sure that Stanton is inside?”
Wayne still couldn’t sense Stanton’s aura. This courtyard gave him a very bad feeling. Even the entire manor gave him a strong, strange feeling.
“I’ve already said, Meaty is not a rat. Uncle Wayne, don’t call it a rat anymore!”
Olivia was a little depressed. Why Uncle Wayne always treat Meaty as a filthy rat?
“Alright, alright, let’s pretend it’s not a rat. Let’s go in.”
Wayne did not hesitate. He cast a level 1 wind spell in an instant, and the door in front of him broke.
From the reflection, it could be seen that the person inside was clearly stunned.
The dust settled, and in the room stood a pale man whose face was filled with an evil aura. Two sharp canine teeth could be vaguely seen on his lips.
“Olivia, be careful. If this ghoul is associate with your fifth brother, I’m afraid the entire Imperial City will not be at peace.”
Wayne’s brows were tightly furrowed. He did not recognize the guy across from him.
However, Wayne could still tell that he was a ghoul.
He had never expected that the dignified fifth prince of Imperial City would actually get along with the ghouls.
Olivia was puzzled. She looked at the man across from her and still could not figure out who he was.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside the courtyard. The fifth prince heard the commotion and immediately rushed over.
The fifth prince, who had rushed to the courtyard with his men, calmed down when he saw who was in the courtyard.
“Yo, sixth princess, you came to my residence in the middle of the night without sleeping. You even brought your man and smashed my door. What are you trying to do?”
The fifth prince asked frivolously. Olivia’s expression was heavy. She did not expect him to come so quickly.
“What are you talking about, fifth brother? I’m here to pick someone up. You’ve invited my chief knight to be your guest for so long. Shouldn’t you return him to me?”
Olivia steadied her thoughts and said calmly.
Hearing this, the fifth prince was silent for a moment before he laughed.
Suddenly, his face darkened and he shouted sternly.
“Foster!”
Just as Olivia finished speaking, the fifth prince shouted a name. The man who was confronting Wayne took the initiative to attack him.
In the eyes of the guy called Foster, he could easily deal with the princess and her man very easily.
Then, a dramatic scene happened.
As soon as the man made his move, Wayne retaliated at the same time. Then, the guy from the ghoul clan directly exploded into pieces and scattered all over the ground.
The fifth prince’s face was solemn. He didn’t even know where the middle-aged man next to his sister came from.. This man was obviously very strong, but he seemed to be completely powerless.
