Chapter 56: The Demon Beast Enters the City
The guards of the Purple Thorn Castle gazed out at the gradually setting sun, preparing to close the city gates, when suddenly one of the guards exclaimed in terror: "Monsters are attacking the castle!!!"
"What nonsense are you talking about, kid? You've read too many fantasy novels. Shut the door quickly, it's late and I don't want to see your face." The captain of the guards roared.
"Captain, it's true..." The guard said with a mournful face.
The captain saw this, raised his head and looked out of the city, only to see a huge purple leopard walking towards the city.
"Quickly, sound the alarm!!" The captain of the guard shouted in a shrill voice.
"Dong Dong Dong!!"
The sudden alarm bell broke the tranquility of the dusk, and the crowd in the city was stunned for several minutes before realizing it was an air raid warning, and suddenly the city was in chaos.
The news quickly spread to the imperial palace, "What! The enemy has invaded!!" Zijin III was shocked, and it wasn't until someone had broken into the capital that he received the news, how could this not make Zijin III angry.
In an instant, countless royal guards quickly gathered and rushed towards the city gate.
"Hmm..." Hearing the alarm bell from Zijing City, Lin Wu looked at the purple electric leopard beside him and got a headache. If it goes on like this, they might be shot to death by random arrows.
Helpless, Lin Wu could only turn back and head towards the distant city wall. He sized up the surroundings and found that there were no guards on the city wall for the time being. Lin Wu patted Zidi, and one man and one leopard climbed over the city wall and entered the city.
At this time, the sky had also darkened, and Lin Wu took advantage of the night to quickly shuttle through the city with Zilei Bao. The speed of Zilei Bao was extremely fast, and under Lin Wu's full power, his speed was not inferior either. People on the road only felt a huge purple light and a smaller green light flashing by, but when they wanted to take a closer look, there was nothing left.
At this time, Zi Jing San Shi was already furious and had smashed several valuable and exquisite art pieces. "Who dares to falsely report military information!!" Zi Jing San Shi roared in anger.
The officials below all fell silent, "Report to Your Majesty!!" At this time, one person hastily ran in from outside.
Zijing's expression slightly eased when he saw this person, and he asked, "How is Klinton?"
"I report to Your Majesty, I have learned that the gatekeeper's guard saw a demon beast approaching and sounded the alarm. According to the investigation, it seemed to be a level 4 demon beast, the Purple Thunder Leopard. However, when I arrived, the demon beast had already disappeared. Please rest assured, Your Majesty," Clint said.
"Alright, lift the state of emergency. And today, something big happened, Clint will take care of the guards at the gate." Zijing III said to an old man with a cold and handsome face standing in front: "Dahlias Duke, what do you think about this?"
"It's all up to Your Majesty." The cold and handsome old man said respectfully.
Seeing this, Zi Jing of the third generation nodded and immediately announced the dismissal of the court.
"Tulip Duke, it seems you've become the scapegoat this time." After the court dispersed, various officials attached to the Tulip family came forward one after another.
"How could this be? This time it was indeed my fault." said Tulip Grand Duke, although his face was calm and peaceful, but in his heart, the fire of anger was burning. He had suffered an unexpected disaster again, and for the second time, he was caught off guard by Violet Third, who took advantage of the situation to weaken his military power.
Back at the mansion, Duke Tulipan dispatches someone to investigate this matter.
But at this time, the Rose family was full of joy, tomorrow is Alice's coming-of-age ceremony, and everyone started preparing a day in advance.
However, as the main character, Alice didn't feel happy at all. "Ahh~ when is that guy Kobayashi coming back?" An angry Alice paced back and forth in her room.
"Miss Alice, Lin will definitely come to attend your coming-of-age ceremony." Lilith comforted her.
However, Alice was still worried and rushed to Wu Bo's yard again to ask.
But Wu Bo was also anxious in his heart, but he didn't dare to tell the truth, otherwise the emotional change would be too great and would lead to guiding Alice's sealed ice dragon soul.
"Wu said he's coming back one last time to give you a surprise, Miss Alice should go back to sleep, tomorrow is your big day, you need to be in high spirits." After comforting Alice, Wu Bo walked out of the room and couldn't help but think to himself.
"Xiao Wu, I know you'll be fine."
"Hmm?" Suddenly, Wu Bo felt a strong aura sneak into the Rose family, and he quickly rushed to where the aura came from.
After walking for a distance, Wu Bo suddenly found that there was a huge figure in front of him. Under the faint moonlight, the figure emitted a strange purple aura.
"Ah!!!!" Wu Bo suddenly inhaled a breath of cool air, "Purple Lightning Leopard!!!"
The next moment, a magic scroll appeared in Wu Bo's hand. As long as this scroll was triggered, it could instantly summon the secret power of the Rosy family.
"It's me." Just then a familiar voice made Wu Bo stop in his tracks.
"You, are you Little Wu?" Wu Bo stared at Lin Wu in shock as he walked out from behind the Purple Electric Leopard.
"It's me." Lin Wu came before Wu Bo and smiled.
"Wu Xiao, this...". Wu Bo looked at Lin Wu and then at the purple electric leopard again, and a strange thought arose in his mind, "Could it be that Xiao Wu used some method to turn that cub into an adult body in an instant?"
"Oh, this purple electric leopard has come to recover from its injuries and will be staying here for now." Lin Wu said.
Wu Bo heard this and didn't know what Lin Wu meant. He widened his eyes and whispered, "Little Wu, have you subdued both the big and small Purple Electric Leopards?"
"Alright then." Lin Wu nodded his head, this large purple electric leopard was still not listening to him, but the smaller ones were very obedient.
"Alright, alright, alright!!"
Hearing this, Wu Bo excitedly patted Lin Wu's shoulder. It was already astonishing that Lin Wu could capture the young purple electric leopard, and now he had even managed to tame an adult one - this was simply a miracle.
"Roar!!"
The purple electric leopard suddenly let out a low, rumbling growl, and before he knew it, the surrounding area was filled with guards wearing rose-embroidered uniforms. Lin Wu knew that these were the secret troops of the Rose family.
"Everyone disperse now. No one is allowed to spread the word about today's events, or they will be dealt with according to our clan rules." Wu Bo appeared and waved his hand, signaling everyone to retreat.
After dismissing the crowd, Wu Bo couldn't help but start worrying. It was very difficult to keep Zidian Bao a secret in the family. "Little Wu, what do you think we should do with him?"
"Hmm, let's put it near Alice's courtyard then. There are fewer people there and I can keep an eye on it at all times." Lin Wu said after some thought, Alice's small courtyard was almost off-limits to the servants, who didn't dare enter casually, a testament to Alice's formidable intimidation factor.
"Hmm, okay, but what if Alice... " Wu Bo thought that if one day Alice came up with the idea to tease Zidian Bao, then...
"It's alright, I'll remind her," Lin Wu said. Lin Wu was one of the few people who could calm Alice down.
"Alright, I'll report this matter to the young lady." Wu Bo nodded and hastily left.
A 4th-level wild demon beast moving into a family is almost impossible, so Wu Bo will be busy for a while, and all kinds of protective measures need to be in place.
But this advantage is also very obvious, having a 4th-level magic beast guarding not only increases the family's strength, but also with the magic beast's powerful perception, those who dare to sneak in will be doomed.
