Chapter 1966: Chapter 1966: The Legend of Clare Richardson_1 Chapter 1966: Chapter 1966: The Legend of Clare Richardson_1 Imdiately, the Prince of Hols laughed and said, “Can I co in for a chat?”
“Oh, of course.” Ethan Smith ca to his senses and quickly invited the Prince in.
The two sat in the courtyard, and the Prince couldn’t help but sigh, “Mr. Smith, that battle was truly shocking, I cannot believe you actually won.”
Ethan Smith smiled bitterly and said, “What’s the point of winning? The Wilson family has already found an excuse to take action against ; otherwise, I wouldn’t have run back to Sky City in such a sorry state.”
At this point, Ethan Smith tentatively asked, “Prince, may I ask you frankly, will the Wilson family really not take action within the city?”
The Prince of Hols was silent for a long ti, and then raised his head to look at Ethan Smith, saying, “That is one of the reasons I ca to see you.”
Ethan Smith didn’t dare to make a sound, only waiting quietly for the Prince’s next words.
“No one is allowed to make a move within Sky City, and it’s not our Hols that people fear, but the nine aristocratic families.” The Prince spoke solemnly.
“It’s a rule set by the nine aristocratic families, but if they want to overthrow it or directly ignore it, we will have no way.”
Ethan Smith gasped, saying, “It seems that Sky City is not absolutely safe either.”
“That’s right,” the Prince nodded, “Of course, apart from the nine major aristocratic families, no one else dares to make a move within Sky City, as that would be to ridicule the majesty of the nine families.”
“But what if it’s the rule maker themselves?” the Prince asked rhetorically.
Ethan Smith fell silent, and then sighed, “If all else fails, I’ll have to give up the ore I hold.”
“Indeed, that’s what I’m thinking too.” The Prince sighed.
Despite saying this, Ethan Smith still had so doubts in his heart. After all, he had heard before that the nine aristocratic families also feared the might of the Hols in a life and death struggle, so they didn’t want to push them too hard, preferring to control them indirectly.
The reason for the Prince’s words might be to free himself from any involvent and avoid being implicated, which was understandable.
“I think the Wilson family will definitely co to Sky City, and when they do, I’m willing to make an agreent and diate this matter for you,” said the Prince.
Ethan Smith bowed and said, “Thank you, Prince. I indeed dare not put too much pressure on the Wilson family.”
Frederick Cohen was still in their hands, so a way to save him must be found first.
Now, Ethan Smith’s only hope was that the Wilson family would not wish to lower their status. However, if they really disregarded the so-called face of the aristocratic families, Ethan Smith would have no solution.
It was at this mont that Salena Carpenter, who had gone to buy Pills, finally returned.
She handed the Pills to Ethan Smith and said, “Here, I brought them back.”
Ethan Smith laughed, “You didn’t get into a fight with anyone on the way, did you?”
Salena Carpenter stomped her foot angrily and said, “Almost, just a little bit!”
Ethan Smith breathed a sigh of relief and then smiled, “Okay, no need to argue with them.”
“Mr. Smith, what is that?” the Prince inquired.
Ethan Smith smiled bitterly, “I was injured in the battle with Michael Wilson, so I need Pills to recuperate.”
The Prince pondered, “How about this, tomorrow I’ll find an alchemist for you, asking them to treat your wounds.”
“Really? Thank you, Prince.” Ethan Smith bowed repeatedly.
The Prince laughed, “Mr. Smith, don’t be so polite.”
At this point, the Prince changed the topic and continued, “There’s sothing I don’t know if I should say.”
“If the Prince has sothing to say, please don’t hesitate,” Ethan Smith replied.
The Prince spoke solemnly, “Compared to the Wilson family, I actually think that the vision behind you during the Great War is more dangerous.”
“Vision?” Ethan Smith was taken aback, his face changing slightly.
The Prince naturally referred to Clare Richardson.
“Do you know where she ca from?” Ethan Smith tried to ask.
“I’ve heard many rumors, even the history of the Hols dynasty has records of it,” the Prince of Hols replied.
He slowly stood up, with his hands behind his back, and said, “That person is extrely dangerous. There are rumors that she only appears during the Golden Age, and every ti she appears, it causes a catastrophe. Most importantly, young talents of the tis have suffered nurous losses at her hands.”
“There have been records in the history of the Hols dynasty that she might be from another world,” the Prince turned around and stared at Ethan Smith.
Ethan Smith was startled and quickly asked, “Another world? What do you an?”
The Prince didn’t say anything, he just pointed to the ground.
“Hell?” Ethan Smith stared blankly.
The Prince laughed, “Whether hell exists or not, no one knows, but there is indeed such a rumor that she stole the fruits of cultivation of her ti, thus killing many outstanding talents.”
Ethan Smith scratched his head, sowhat puzzled by this statent.
The Prince continued, “You know, every ti the Golden Age cos, there will be a large number of geniuses born, and these people will eventually reach the pinnacle of cultivation.”
“But the higher you go, the fewer resources you have, and the greater the demand. So there will inevitably be competition among these people, and only a very small number will survive to beco enlightened.”
“By undergoing one reincarnation after another, the masked woman becos one of the many geniuses in the Golden Age, which ans she has to participate in this competition.”
At this point, it seed as if Ethan Smith understood sothing.
“You an to say… she kills all the geniuses of her peers under the guise of competing with them?” Ethan Smith exclaid in surprise.
The Prince of Hols nodded, “That’s the brilliance of her strategy.”
Ethan Smith scratched his head again and said, “Could it be a misunderstanding? Like… she’s just too powerful, and no one in her own generation can defeat her, leading to a misconception among people? Or maybe it’s because of her overwhelming power, that people feel helpless and can only comfort themselves that way?”
The Prince paused and then burst into laughter.
“I’ve never heard this explanation before!” The Prince laughed uncontrollably, but soon his weak body caused him to cough violently.
Ethan Smith didn’t dare to say anything more and just waited quietly.
There were many legends about Clare Richardson, but they all seed to be negative.
Was it because of his relationship with Clare that he was unwilling to believe it all?
“Do you know about the Immortal Slaying Sect?” At this mont, the Prince suddenly asked.
Ethan Smith quickly stood up and said, “Yes, it’s well-known.”
“Do you know about the once glorious Hols dynasty?” the Prince continued.
Ethan Smith said awkwardly, “I’m sorry, I really don’t know.”
The Prince spoke sowhat nostalgically, “In the days when the Hols dynasty was still glorious, this land was not called the Holy Region, but simply a single letter: Hols! The entire Holy Region was nad after it! We once ruled for tens or even hundreds of thousands of years!”
When he spoke about these past events, the Prince’s voice was full of pride and vigor.
