Travels to the Holy Light Continent

Chapter 27: The Treacherous Murakami Family

On the way back, I stroked the pure black Dragon Crossbow. I saw a dragon head in front of it, dragon bodies on both sides of the crossbow, and a three-centimeter black dragon crystal at the end of the crossbow. My mother said that the key to activating the Dragon Crossbow is this dragon crystal. When the seventh-level magic power is input into it, the bowstring can be pulled open, and the arrow shot out can kill even a sword master like my father.

"Mom, I can't use this thing now!" I said.

"Sure. When you want to use it, just tell me and I'll help you input magic power. Besides, you don't need it now. Do you want to kill someone?" said the mother with a smile.

"No, I'm only five years old, how could I have such a big grudge against anyone?"

"Alright! Let's go back! I'm going to prepare more money this time. I know you're going to win, so I'm going to bet more. This time, I'm going to bankrupt Murakami's family."

My mother's eyes flickered again. I thought, it makes sense. Selina's strength is about to be exposed, so I'll make a fortune this time.

After returning to the royal capital, my mother and I each placed 10,000 gold coins at the betting table of Murakami's house. Murakami Motoyasu, who knew about this, immediately ran to find Archbishop Murakami.

"Brother, this is bad! Someone told me that another person has placed a bet of 20,000 gold coins on Xuanyuan Qingyun to win!" Murakami Motoyasu shouted.

"Okay, stop arguing. Have you found out who it is?"

"They are the two guards of the Xuanyuan family. It seems that the Xuanyuan family is confident of winning again!"

"Oh? How is that possible? As far as I know, Princess Hani is now a fourth-level magician, but the third son of the Xuanyuan family was only a second-level magician before, and I heard that he didn't practice hard." said the archbishop.

"I know, but the Xuanyuan family is not stupid, they won't give us money!"

"Well! In this way, to be on the safe side, I will send someone to give the Abyss Leopard that I subdued before to Princess Honey. With the strength of a Level 4 Abyss Leopard and a Level 4 Ice Speaker, we should be able to win!" said Archbishop Murakami.

"Brother is still a man of foresight!"

The next day, the duel between me and the Ice Princess officially began. The first to enter was the Ice Princess, riding the Abyss Leopard that Murakami Motoyasu had just presented as tribute. The Abyss Leopard jumped down from the ten-meter-high stand, spraying a curtain of water from its mouth. The Ice Princess lightly tapped her finger, and the water condensed into ice, and the Abyss Leopard slid directly down the ice track.

"Wow! So handsome!"

"That's so cool! Come on Ice Princess!"

There was an uproar on the field. My mother objected from the stands, "Your Majesty, isn't this unfair? Didn't we agree on a duel? Why did you send out your magical pet? That Abyss Leopard is a Level 4 magical beast!"

His Majesty was at a loss for words, so Murakami Motoyasu came to the rescue and said, "Who said you can't use a pet in a duel? A duel is a contest of strength. Doesn't a pet belong to your own strength?"

"you..."

"Mom, forget it. I have a magical pet too. It's okay!" I stopped my mother and said.

"Yes! Yes! Doesn't Qingyun also have a magical pet? What kind of lion dog is this? This is the first time I see this kind of lion dog. It's so big." Murakami Motoyasu said sarcastically.

I ignored Murakami Motoyasu's nonsensical performance and rode down slowly on the fire.

"What! Riding a dog? That's so rude!"

"Is the Xuanyuan family going to send out a dog knight?"

"Hahaha, how funny!"

"Oh, it's over! I made a wrong bet this time!"

"Me too. I'm going to bet on the Ice Princess again to make up for my losses!"

. . .

I don’t care about the ridicule and insults from the stands at all. Just wait and see, I’m going to surprise you soon.
