If Augustus's secret truly could cause a crisis in Kolos City, and Terres knew what the secret was, he would definitely resolve the crisis rather than wasting ti here.
Lu Heng had thought about this issue for several days and still felt that sothing was amiss.
Lu Heng wanted to clarify one thing, so he asked, "Do you know the secret that Dionysus ntioned before he died?"
Terres's expression darkened instantly, and he snorted coldly, "That's none of your business. You've learned the sword skills you needed to, and now you should head to Kolos."
From his tone, it was clear he knew the secret.
Since he knew what it was, it could be set aside for now.
Lu Heng grinned and said, "But I haven't learned the second sword skill yet."
Terres glared at him and huffed, "You really are pushing your luck!"
Lu Heng quickly responded, "I'll set off for Kolos City tomorrow. Before I leave, please teach the secret of the second sword skill, elder Sword Saint."
"Hmph!"
Terres snorted coldly, then glared at Lu Heng before turning around and walking up the mountain.
In the instant he glared, Lu Heng felt a sharp gaze pierce his eyes like sword light.
This gaze penetrated his eyes and stabbed into his mind. Lu Heng quickly closed his eyes and covered his eyes and forehead with his hands, digesting the secret of the sword skill.
The Elf Sword Saint, though verbally dissatisfied, imparted the secrets of the sword skills clearly.
Twelve days had already passed in the Abyss Battlefield, and there truly was no ti left to perfect the second sword skill, Flying Dragon Hunting Sky. He had to go to Kolos City.
With the presence of the Abyss Summoners this ti, it would be troubleso not to set up in Kolos City sooner.
The secret of the second sword skill, Flying Dragon Hunting Sky, was now engraved in his mind, and he could find ti to practice it later.
...
After resting for a night, the next morning, Lu Heng and his two companions set off for Kolos City.
Kolos was the royal city of the Elf Clan and the most prosperous city on the continent.
Seven hundred years ago, there were many Elf cities on this continent. With the invasion of the Abyss, the living space of the Elf Clan was continuously reduced, and now there were not many cities that could maintain their prosperity.
Thanks to the map of Queldorei Continent and the chanical Tiger that could fly, the three crossed the Twilight Mountain Range and continued flying north.
A day and a night later, they finally arrived at the Elf Royal City of Kolos.
As Lu Heng approached the city gate, he took out the Golden Tree Seed and showed it to the Elf Guard, "Greetings, we co from Moonshadow Forest, ordered by the elder Seren of the forest to assist the Elf Clan in resisting the sudden raids of the Abyss Summoners."
The Elf Guard glanced at Lu Heng, did not take the Golden Tree Seed, and snorted coldly, "It's you again. We don't need help. Hurry away and don't cause us trouble."
Lu Heng, surprised by the Elf Guard's response, asked, "What's happened? We really have co here from the orders of Elder Seren."
Logically, as a Forester of Moonshadow Forest, Seren held a high position among the Elves. Holding his given Golden Tree Seed should have warranted hospitality.
The Elf Guard waved his hand dismissively, "Hurry away, or I will treat you all as Abyss Summoners and arrest you!"
Realizing it would be hard to communicate, Lu Heng guessed that sothing had happened in the past few days that had changed the Elves' attitude.
It seed they needed to find another way into the city.
Lu Heng turned and left from the city gate, wandering around the outer city.
Kolos City was indeed prosperous, not just the Inner City, but the outer city had many buildings as well, though it was less safe without the city walls.
"It's strange that they won't let us in even with the Golden Tree Seed," Su Muyu pondered with a frown, unable to think of a reason.
"Let's see if Rong Xincheng is in the outer city. They arrived before us and might know the reason," Lu Heng reminded.
"Okay," agreed Su Muyu, nodding. She released the Chongming Bird to search for Rong Xincheng and his party in the outer city.
Thanks to the secret sign they had left when they parted from Rong Xincheng, Su Muyu quickly spotted it on a wall in the outer city.
Following the sign, they soon located where Rong Xincheng and his group were staying.
Seeing Lu Heng and his companions, Rong Xincheng finally relieved, "You've finally arrived. I was worried that waiting any longer might lead to trouble."
"What has happened in Kolos City? Why can't we enter even with the Golden Tree Seed?"
After sitting down, Lu Heng went straight to the point.
Rong Xincheng replied with a hint of helplessness, "At first, we didn't know what was going on either. Later, we t other Human Superpower Users, and from them, we learned. Kolos City recently issued a new rule forbidding Humans from entering the city, no matter what they bring."
"When was this rule issued?" Lu Heng pressed for the ti.
"Ten days ago. The new rule was still posted on the notice board outside the city a few days ago," Rong Xincheng pointed in the direction of the city gate.
Lu Heng frowned and asked, "Why implent such a rule? Did Superpower Users and Elves have a conflict again?"
There was a raiding team among the last batch of Humans summoned, and they even damaged the Knowledge Ancient Tree.
If that was the reason, the Elves' decision to prohibit Humans from entering Kolos City seed reasonable.
However, the timing of the rule's implentation posed a problem.
It was issued ten days ago, which ant it was on the third day after his group was summoned.
