Chapter 324: Chapter 324: Protective Celia, Shocked Xilan

Whoosh!

The fierce wind swept up the dust on the ground, causing a chorus of coughs.

As the dust settled, Mini Spitz silently followed behind Li Haotian, pretending to be a cute pet.

Li Haotian spoke with a hint of disappointment, "It seems that the Holy Knight Alice mentioned isn’t here."

Another clear voice puzzledly asked, "We just got here, how do you know she’s not here?"

"Oh, I have a special skill that lets me observe the surroundings."

"According to Alice’s description, the Holy Knight named Glandis wears a thick plate armor, a white cloak, has golden hair tied in a neat ponytail, and carries a huge Silver Cross on her back."

"With such distinctive features, it’s easy to identify at a glance."

"But I haven’t seen anyone dressed like that in the camp."

Celesia exclaimed with surprise and admiration, "From up in the sky, the camp set by the Dark Elves doesn’t look small. You’ve already checked it all so quickly? That’s amazing!"

Just as Li Haotian was about to speak, a young and arrogant voice sounded, "Hmph, I thought it was some big shot arriving, but it’s just a boastful upstart!"

"Judging by your looks, you must be a mechanical expert, right? Claiming you’ve seen the entire camp without even using a scanner? Ridiculous! You’re just fooling those inexperienced young girls!"

As the dust settled, Li Haotian turned and looked over, his gaze landing on a young swordsman.

He coolly sized up the person with a glance, too lazy to bother with someone who’s clearly a clumsy novice with some martial achievements.

Preparing to head to the Dark Elf camp to find Krent for some information.

Krent is leading the handling of this plague incident, and with his unique standing as one of the Holy Professors, he might know something.

However, unexpectedly for Li Haotian, while he couldn’t be bothered to retort, Celesia couldn’t help herself.

The half-elf girl spoke with a crisp voice, "A black leather jacket, a white shirt, knee-high leather boots paired with a short sword. You’re from the court close-combat swordsmanship school?"

"Obviously a swordsman, yet you wear an inconvenient red tie, and even embed jewels in your short sword’s hilt, without considering the grip or the blade’s balance. Such frivolous style is only the noble’s unnecessary doing."

"The pattern embroidered on your chest is an iris, right? And the badge on your chest also bears an iris with golden embroidery. Only the Delos Empire’s Royal Guard has the privilege to use that color."

"Ordinary Royal Guards have closed irises, but yours is open."

At this point, Celesia’s voice paused slightly. In the young man’s astonished gaze, her sight landed on his head.

"With your pure black hair, if I’m not mistaken, you are a child of the Delos Empire’s royal family, current Imperial Sword Master, and Royal Guard swordsmanship instructor?"

Celesia sneered, "Hmph, the Delos Empire’s royals are really getting worse."

"A descendant of a secondary branch not even of the main royal line is so arrogant, making hasty conclusions without verification, worse than me, a young girl who’ve never been out much!"

The face of the young swordsman turned pale and then red, left speechless by Celesia’s snappy retort, "You, you..."

Celesia jeered, "What’s there to say? If I’m wrong, just point it out, and I’ll apologize at once!"

The young swordsman’s face flushed purple, "I, I..."

"Haha, amusing, what a sharp-tongued young girl!"

"What you just said was right, but I can’t figure out how you concluded Bain isn’t of the main royal line but a secondary scion?"

"With his features and pure black hair, he should be no different from the main royals, right? At least I can’t tell a difference," a magnetic voice suddenly said, the sound quite loud.

Li Haotian and Celesia instinctively looked behind the arrogant young man named Bain.

They saw a man appearing to be in his thirties or forties, with long brown hair and a partly bared chest, exuding a somewhat decadent charm, carrying a wine bottle, and curiously gazing at Celesia and Li Haotian.

Evidently, the speaker was him.

Li Haotian’s gaze instinctively swept over the man’s waist, his eyes subtly alert.

The man casually had a naked long sword hanging at his waist, the style greatly resembling the katana commonly used by the Samurai of Blue Star Sakura Province.

This katana appeared unremarkable, but the dark hue on the blade seemed as if tainted by countless blood, exuding a faint sense of danger and chill.

The hairs on Li Haotian’s body slightly stood, his brow arching.

This handsome old swordsman is quite strong!

Celesia was also slightly stunned by the old man’s charm and unconsciously explained, "Though his appearance shows no discrepancy with Delos Empire’s main royal family, his accent isn’t the standard Vitaren dialect."

"Even though he’s deliberately trying to align with the pronunciation of Delos Empire’s capital, Vitaren, a bit of attention would reveal traits of the common pronunciation from towns around Vitaren."

"And all the towns around Vitaren are fiefdoms for the secondary royal descendants."

"Since he bears these local accents, it indicates he didn’t grow up in Vitaren, revealing he’s a descendant of the secondary branch, isn’t it obvious?"

The handsome middle-aged man was slightly taken aback, then began applauding with a "clap clap" sound.

He loudly praised, "Wonderful! You’re able to notice such details as accents!"

"Young lady, you’re correct. On behalf of Bain, I apologize to you; you’re certainly not just an inexperienced young girl."

"Your knowledge and experience are as rich as the most outstanding court scholars!"

Saying this, the handsome man pressed down on the head of the young swordsman named Bain, bowing to Celesia and Li Haotian in apology.

"Stubborn boy, hit a snag, haven’t you? Apologize to them now!"

Seeing their actions, Celesia felt a bit embarrassed, waving her hands repeatedly, "Oh, that’s not what I meant, you don’t need to do this..."

The handsome man laughed heartily, winking at Li Haotian with a sense of mystery, "Young man, though I don’t know how you did it, you’re right. The person you’re looking for is indeed not in this camp."

"Also, protect the young lady beside you. Maybe you’re strong, but this young lady is still a bit weak. Don’t let her down for her affection towards you."

"The plague among the Dark Elves isn’t as simple as you think."

"I’m called Xilan. If you face danger, feel free to seek my help as compensation for Bain’s careless words, hahaha!"
