Panlong: From being hunted by the Four Divine Beasts

Chapter 6 The Mansion Master's Thoughts

Tamojin Lake is a golden lake located in the southeast of Liang'an City. The lake is covered with some green and exotic flowers and plants. From a distance, the lake water reflects the green scenery, forming a beautiful natural scenery.

The lake is surrounded by a mountain range and there are no bandit groups around. At the bottom of the lake, a thousand miles deep, stands a magnificent mansion that is a hundred meters high. The bricks and stones surrounding the walls emit a transparent film that isolates the lake water from the outside.

At this time, inside the golden mansion, in an exquisite courtyard, a white-haired old servant was reporting to the purple-haired middle-aged man with his eyes closed who was sitting on a high seat.

"Oh? You mean Ryan, the Lord of Iceblood City?"

The Lord of Liang'an Mansion, Alfred, who had originally closed his eyes to rest, suddenly opened his eyes, and two purple lightning flashed in his eyes.

"Yes, Lord Palace Master, Lord Ryan is currently participating in the battle arena in Liang'an City. He has already won over fifty victories. This is information about Lord Ryan." The white-haired old man bowed slightly, handed over a detailed piece of information, and reported with his head down.

Ryan's identity is unknown to most ordinary residents. On the one hand, Ryan has only been practicing for tens of millions of years, which is considered young. In addition, there is no record of Ryan's battle with the previous city lord, so few people in Liang'an Prefecture have seen Ryan's true face.

On the other hand, the Seven-Star Demon City Lord’s publicized names were mostly titles rather than names. Therefore, unless Ryan said that he was the Ice-Blood Demon or the Lord of Ice-Blood City, no one would associate the name Ryan with the Ice-Blood Demon.

Because of this, during the battle, except for Ophelia, the silver-haired girl in charge who had the honor of seeing the information about the Demon Castle, almost no one among the millions of viewers knew Ryan's identity. Of course, this was for ordinary residents, and the Demon Castle was obviously not included.

Ophelia reported the incident immediately that day, and the Demon Castle immediately reported the matter to the steward of the Lord of Liang'an Mansion, Hobbes Percy. As the steward of the Lord of the Mansion, Hobbes certainly understood what it meant for a seven-star demon city lord to participate in the fighting arena, so he immediately came to see the Lord of the Mansion.

"Oh? To become a seven-star demon after practicing for about ten million years is indeed a gifted talent. However, to challenge me after only twenty million years is really overestimating this little fellow."

Alfred took the information, flipped through it casually, shook his head and said.

As a veteran Shura, Alfred has gone through countless years and witnessed too many geniuses fall. Although Ryan's talent is not bad, in his opinion, that's all. As for wanting to defeat him, he doesn't think that a person who has only practiced for 30 million years can defeat him.

"Since he's already won fifty games in a row, let Electra go and meet him. If he can't get past Electra, there's no need to bother me anymore."

Alfred put away the information and waved his hand.

"Yes, Lord." After hearing Alfred's order, the butler Hobbes immediately responded and retreated respectfully.

"I don't know if this Lord of Ren has a chance of being recognized by the Lord of the Palace, but with Electra's strength and vision, it should be unlikely."

After leaving the mansion owner's room, the butler Hobbes muttered softly, and he was not optimistic about Ryan.

Electra is the strongest seven-star demon under the command of the Palace Lord. He practices the rules of destruction and his special move, Light of Destruction, has extremely strong attack power. He was once evaluated by the Palace Lord as being close to being a commander in terms of material attack alone. Therefore, although he has some special hobbies, the Palace Lord still values ​​him very much.

In the past, some geniuses had participated in Liang'an City's battle arena and achieved the ultimate hundred victories. However, since Electra became the Palace Master's subordinate, no one had succeeded. Every one of them lost to Electra after fifty consecutive victories. As the head of Liang'an Prefecture, Hobbes had followed the Palace Master for eons and witnessed countless so-called geniuses. Liang'an City had also produced some powerful warriors who had achieved a hundred victories. Hobbes had seen, if not a hundred, at least eighty of them. Ultimately, only two or three challenged the Palace Master, and none of them could last more than three moves.

Moreover, these were all before Electra became the Lord's subordinate. Since Electra came, every time someone won fifty consecutive games in the battlefield, Electra would test him on behalf of the Lord. If the opponent was strong enough, he would recruit him on behalf of the Lord. As for those who were unwilling to join, they would be killed directly.

Over the years, no one has ever been able to defeat Electra, and most of them were killed by Electra. The only one who survived was the current lord of Behe ​​City, Belfiore. Because he was willing to serve under the lord of the mansion, he was spared by Electra. Now he is also the lord of Liang'an Mansion and a direct subordinate of Alfred.

……

In the central area of ​​Liang'an City's residential area, in a dazzling courtyard covering an area of ​​more than 100 meters, a handsome young man in a blue robe was kneeling outside the room.

"Hmm?" After a moment, the young man seemed to sense something and looked up at the sky in confusion.

"call out!"

In the sky, a white streak of light visible to the naked eye fell to the ground and transformed into a white-haired old man with a gentle face.

"Mr. Hobbs, why are you here?" The handsome young man in a blue robe immediately stood up and asked respectfully.

"Salomon, is Mr. Electra here? The Lord of the Mansion wants to see him. I came to check on him."

The white-haired old man Hobbes smiled gently, looked at Salomon and asked.

Although it was just an inquiry, Hobbes knew in his heart that Electra had always been there and had never left. It was just that he was here to visit her, so basic courtesy was essential.

Hobbes has a clear understanding of his own position. Although he is the butler of the mansion lord, he is only a five-star demon. Butlers are everywhere. The mansion lord keeps him mostly because he is too lazy to manage specific affairs. He himself is not very important.

As a butler who has been with the lord of the mansion for countless years, Hobbes has his own set of rules of conduct. Being kind to others is the basic principle. Therefore, he treats Electra, Belfiore and other seven-star demons under the lord of the mansion with full respect.

As for Electra's disciple, Salomon Boy, even though Hobbes knew that Electra's character would not care too much about this disciple, although he would not care about Salomon, he would not put on airs either.

"The teacher is in the room, Mr. Hobbs. You can just go in. The teacher has instructed that if it's you, you can enter without notifying them."

Upon hearing this, Salomon immediately smiled kindly and replied, looking like an ordinary sunny boy.
