Chapter 711: Volume Twenty: Wolf in the Mediterranean Chapter Eighteen: Double Whammy

"Miss Klepper, it is for this reason that my father and I wish to temporarily refrain from naming the Piraeus people in these tricks. Once Miss Helena defeats that Uma fellow, we can then rightfully and without any reservations criticize them," Prince Slupig said proudly. "Even if that guy uses a Ghost Demon Horse, he is no match for the celestial horses of Divine Mount Olympus. Miss Klepper’s Green River Sword Qi is already enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with any powerhouse on the Continent. I believe that despicable fellow will have no choice but to bow his head in submission under Miss Helena’s sword."

"Your Highness Prince Slupig, you are too confident. To be honest, I do not believe that Helena’s power is without an opponent. At least that fellow named Uma is not simple," a trace of worry briefly flashed across Klepper’s face. "Your Highness, you are underestimating the power of Magic too much. Uma is undoubtedly a Mage, and his Magic Power is quite formidable. I can feel it. The Ghost Demon Horse is not a real animal, but a concoction powered by Magic Power; in some ways, it is more like a Magic tool, except that this kind of Magic tool has reached quite a high level."

In the South, where Martial Dao is valued more and Magic is prejudiced against, Klepper was deeply aware of this. Having traveled the North, she knew that Magic Heaven was equally all-encompassing and unfathomable, no less than the pursuit of power in Martial Dao. Maybe in terms of pure power deployment, it is not equivalent to Martial arts, but when it comes to the versatility of power, it is far superior to the Martial Dao lineage.

However, this bias had already taken deep root in the minds of these Martial arts powerhouses from the South. In their eyes, only the pinnacle of Martial Dao represented the very extreme of true Power; no one and nothing could withstand the blow of a tyrant who had climbed to the heavenly pinnacle of Martial Dao. In their minds, Magic was more like a crafty shortcut that relied on external forces. Such an opinion was not held only by the common ignorant; even some well-known powerhouses held this ridiculous view.

"Miss Klepper, I am surprised; do you actually think Miss Helena won’t be able to defeat that sleazy guy?" Prince Slupig raised his eyebrows in astonishment, his face showing disbelief.

"Your Highness Prince Slupig, I did not say that, but I do want to tell you that Uma’s power is definitely not weaker than Helena’s," Klepper maintained her stance, unfazed by the other’s strong skepticism. She was obviously a woman with her own strong opinions, "I do not support Helena’s risky behavior, but after all, she has been instructed by Mr. Aristotle, and her mastery of Green River Sword Qi has greatly improved. Therefore, I will not express my opinion on this matter; everything depends on Helena’s own attitude."

Prince Slupig’s gaze turned towards the chaste girl quietly sitting aside, like a pure and graceful lotus flower, standing silent above the ripples, elegant and enchanting without being demonic, her serene and gentle bearing made even the always prideful Prince Slupig feel an innate sense of inferiority. This was true allure unmatched.

"Miss Helena, Miss Klepper would like you to decide for yourself. What do you think?" Prince Slupig licked his lips, feeling a lack of confidence for the first time.

"Master, Helena has been thinking that since His Majesty the King and Prince Slupig both hope we can contribute to the Kingdom of Sparta, Helena believes it is her unquestionable duty to take on this responsibility. Your Highness Prince Slupig, I accept your invitation. If that Mr. Uma intends to use our Spartain honor to achieve glory for the Piraeus people, I will give him that opportunity," Helena’s face beamed with a sunshine-like radiant smile, making Prince Slupig’s heart feel like it might leap out of his chest.

The Piraeus people’s excellent performance in the chariot race greatly stimulated the neighboring City-states, especially the Trojan and Carthaginian people, who have always had a tense relationship with the Spartans. Defeating the Spartans, who had always been dominant in this event, they were even more excited than the Piraeus people themselves.

Upon learning that the racer’s true identity was actually a High Priest of the Great Mysterium Sect and that the three contestants who advanced to the semifinals in the Gladiator Competition were all followers and priests of the sect, the two countries and cities began to take an interest in the Great Mysterium Sect, which had always maintained a low profile and conducted its teachings quietly within their borders. Instruction by the Dark Lineage was common throughout the South, but it seemed to focus more on developing among the middle and lower-class people and rarely had many dealings with the officials and the upper echelons of mainstream society. Mainstream society also did not quite understand this somewhat mysterious form of teaching. When the followers of the Dark Lineage became the heroes who defeated the Spartans, the leading figures of Troy and Carthage suddenly took an enthusiastic interest in the Dark Sects that had stayed more within the middle and lower classes of society.

The number of visitors to the Piraeus delegation suddenly increased; they all wanted to understand why the followers of the Great Mysterium Sect were able to help the Piraeus achieve such a glorious victory.

In fact, even the Piraeus people did not have a good understanding of these Dark adherents within their own City-state. It was only during the actual competitive process that these individuals approached the City-state officials through various channels, expressing their willingness to participate in the Olympia Festival events to earn honor for the City-state. Naturally, the City-state officials were only too eager for such an opportunity. The economically flourishing Piraeus people had already intended to use this means to showcase the prosperity of their City-state.
