Chapter 1125: Chapter 160 The Hospitality of Canaan Moore (5200)

The spirit energy weapon that Simoke hasn’t unveiled is forged specifically against the Dragon Soul. It may not kill Anfa, but it will undoubtedly injure her severely, forcing Anfa to recuperate for half a year and miss the upcoming exploration action of the Exotic Species Research Institute.

Of course, if it were an ordinary Sublimator, facing this weapon would mean certain death, not even a chance to recuperate… This is because Anfa’s Dragon Soul is not complete. For Sio, even if captured by Avak’s laboratory, she wouldn’t have suffered any irreversible essential damage.

This was evident from the group’s earlier reactions, where only Sio’s response was the calmest—despite Ian having third energy level strength and having solidified his soul through meditation, he instinctively took a defensive stance, sensing a threat to his life, but the Dragon Maiden simply furrowed her brow, suspecting the matter was not straightforward.

“It seems Canaan Moore is not at peace. I wanted to ask you to show me more of the World Tree City.”

Ian sighed with regret, “It looks like that’s not going to happen. We’ll probably need to be cautious and prudent for a while.”

“That’s not necessary.”

Compared to Ian’s concern, Anfa appeared rather relaxed, “Since the Fringe Division’s attack failed this time, there won’t be another new attack in the next couple of days unless the Pillar Party wants to directly start a war… Ian, you’ve helped me a lot again, and I’ll have to add a big mark to your score.”

As she spoke, Anfa bowed formally to thank Ian and then took out her small notebook to record it.

“What score?”

Yisen Gard was curious, and Ian explained to him about Anfa’s favorability notebook, to which the blond youth was quite amazed, “There’s even such a clear recording method!”

He clearly wanted to learn about Anfa’s book of favor, but after thinking for a while, he abandoned the idea due to the complexity of digitalizing favorability.

After Jegarna’s hasty escape, Ian and his group did not immediately leave.

Soon enough, there was no need for Anfa to call personally, as members of the Ashlight Family arrived.

With synchronized footsteps, a whole team of Elf Knight guards blocked off the passage.

They were dressed in sleek, lacquered blue armor, starkly different from the miniaturized armor styles on the Empire’s side, resembling more of a sturdy hazmat suit. The helmet’s gas mask design was very intricate, with several tubes leading to a steel backpack capable of supplying various gaseous agents as needed, and the backpack itself seemed to have flight capability.

The captain leading the team knelt on one knee before Anfa, apologizing to the Elf Princess—they were loyal to the Ashlight Sect, even directly affiliated with Anfa personally. In theory, when Anfa reached World Tree City, these knights would have to immediately come to greet her.

But since Anfa didn’t want too much attention, and since she wasn’t using the more important prosthetic body this time while bringing Ian and others, she required these Knight guards to protect another significant prosthetic body from the Pillar Party’s assassination… Who knew the Fringe Division would risk crossing the line, using a spirit energy weapon to attack Anfa’s soul.

If this was mishandled, it would be another ten-year assassination war like the one between the Silvergate Faction and the Dynamic Core Sect. Back then, the Yinmen Household leader Yafada Silvergate’s brother was disrupted and assassinated during his advancement to the fourth energy level, poisoned to death. In retaliation against the Dynamic Core Sect, which directly poisoned him, the Yinmen Household orchestrated the assassination of the managers of seventeen large enterprises under the Dynamic Core Sect, which prompted a massive conflict between the Sustenance Party and the Pillar Party. As a result, Yafada Silvergate emerged victorious ten years later, leading the Sustenance Party to become the Grand Council Speaker of this generation.

However, such struggles yield no winners. Canaan Moore’s current chaos stems from the fierce internal conflict among the Blood of the Ten Kings. Especially now, when Canaan Moore is hosting an exploration action at the Exotic Species Research Institute that attracts the attention of the whole Terra; the Fringe Division’s assassination will cause Canaan Moore to miss the opportunity to gain the most significant rewards.

For the Blood of the Ten Kings, allowing an archenemy to succeed is even more unbearable than losing themselves.

Theoretically, these knights were not at fault; it was Anfa’s own decision-making that was lacking in comprehensiveness, but when their leader is in danger, can they afford to speak of reason and logic?

“This isn’t your fault. It was my own failure to consider the determination of the Pillar Party adequately.”

Anfa, of course, would not truly punish her knights. She waved her hand gently, signaling them to rise, “Notify my mother; I have something to report to her.”

Soon, Ian and others met Anfa’s mother, Xiya Laieta Ash Lamp, through a holographic projection.

Lady Xiyalaeta was an exceptionally beautiful woman, and Anfa inherited her beauty. However, since she could freely switch genders, Anfa’s personal charm leaned more towards the spirited and vibrant beauty of a young girl or the composed elegance of a handsome young man, lacking a touch of feminine allure.

Lady Xiyalaeta, on the other hand, was not the same. Her figure was lithe and voluptuous, with a diamond-shaped crystal on her forehead, and a cascade of smooth green hair falling like a waterfall behind her pointed ears. Her face was flawlessly perfect, akin to a classical goddess statue; her light blue eyes resembled a lake deep within a forest, with pale eyeshadow at the edges, giving off a charming vibe.

“Darling,”

Naturally, as soon as she spoke, Lady Xiyalaeta made it difficult for Anfa to hold her composure: “You’re still too careless. If I hadn’t arranged for Baina to patrol nearby, and if your companions weren’t alert enough to notice Baina’s presence at the first moment, you might have really missed the exploration action.”
