Luo Lei walked at the very end, as a knight of the Sage Academy.
The status of the knights from the Sage Academy was much higher than those from the Yuh Family and the Leaangle Family.
Everyone else, including Luo Feng, did not dare to look in his direction.
White paper, red characters.
A startling sight.
[Take blood, lose life]
After reading, Luo Lei squinted his eyes.
Slowly, he crushed the slip of paper into fragments with his fingers, letting them scatter to the ground.
The gate of the City of the World opened, and the figures of the crowd faded away.
At the same time, the Yuh Family.
Zhu Sha sat on the open-air balcony, elegantly sipping tea.
She raised her head, looking in the direction of the City of the World’s gate, and lightly pursed her lips.
Footsteps sounded, coming from a knight dressed in the Sage Academy’s attire.
He clasped his fists and knelt on one knee: "Commander, Her Majesty the Empress has received all your messages, and she considers this a minor issue, to be left to your arrangement."
Not to mention the Yuh Family’s exiled illegitimate children, even Yuh Shaoyun himself lacks the qualification to draw the attention of the Sages.
Like exalted gods, the Sages possess infinite compassion but are also cold and indifferent.
Zhu Sha knew this long ago. That’s why she sent her butler with her token to seek an audience with Her Majesty the Sage Empress.
Before marrying into the Yuh Family, she was the female commander of the Holy Grail Knight Order, one of the four great knight orders of the Sage Academy.
The four great knight orders are named after the Scepter, the Sword, the Pentacle, and the Holy Grail.
Only the four great knight orders are trusted most by the Sage Academy.
Representing the four types of Minor Arcana Cards in the Tarot Cards, the four great knight orders are directly subordinate to the twenty-two Sages.
The twenty-two Sages and the four great knight orders form the entire Tarot Card system.
But apart from those in the City of the World, no one knows this is the true origin of the Tarot Cards.
"Hmm." Zhu Sha smiled, "But whether their blood has special properties is yet unknown. You may leave."
The knight bowed again and left.
Zhu Sha drank tea for a while longer and then leisurely stood up to deliver food to the Old Madam Yuh.

At this time.
O Continent.
Manuel’s experimental base.
He looked serious, listening to his assistant report some news.
After hearing it, Manuel pushed his glasses, the lens reflecting the light: "Where did the news come from? Is it reliable?"
"It came from the prison in Jade Ice Cui," the assistant began, "A young lady from the Lorentz Family was expelled and exiled for buying an article."
"And because she attempted to murder someone outside the airport with a firearm, she is now locked in Jade Ice Cui’s International Prison, where the warden says she seems mad, continuously repeating one sentence."
Manuel squinted his eyes: "Go on." freёweɓnovel.com
"Ying Zijin, First Researcher, how is that possible? On what basis?" The assistant repeated, apologetic, "Sorry, Professor, that’s all the information I have. I think the reliability is not high, at most fifty percent chance."
Seeing Elizabeth like this, it’s clear her nerves were really disturbed.
Who knows if her statements are true?
"No, I actually believe the reliability is one hundred percent." Manuel smiled slightly, "Herwen was saved by someone in Hua Country, specifically in Shanghai City. Although the matter was covered up, it is now apparent Ying Zijin was his savior."
"Additionally, her knowledge is astounding. ISC was designed for high school competitions, but her problem-solving speed, I wouldn’t dare say I could outperform her."
The assistant was enlightened: "Professor, your meaning is?"
"Have those who kidnapped Herwen last time failed to contact us anymore?" Manuel frowned, "Didn’t they claim they would certainly help us eliminate Herwen?"
Academic competition can be deadly.
Herwen is a thorn in many sides.
It’s just that because of the Lorentz Family and the Venus Group’s investment, many dare not touch him.
The assistant shook his head: "No more contact."
Manuel pondered slightly: "Did they reveal any specific reason for assassinating Herwen?"
His motive for eliminating Herwen is straightforward, to avoid being overshadowed in the academic realm.
But for those people, who exist in another dimensional sphere, what’s their interest conflict?
"Not specifically, but they mentioned something cryptic when they contacted us," the assistant recalled, "They said things like a Cosmic Carrier should not exist."
Manuel thought, nodding slowly: "I understand, they won’t permit the invention of a Cosmic Carrier, even if it’s just theoretically possible."
Journeying to other universes remains a taboo for people of the City of the World.
The assistant asked, "Professor, you want to contact them again and then kill Ying Zijin?"
"Why kill her?" Manuel shook his head, "We should invite her to join our experimental project. You found out she’s also a doctor? We need such talent."
The assistant hesitated: "It might not be easy to invite her to our project, considering her good relations with Herwen."
