I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Chapter 404: Chapter 336: The Towering Waves of Giant Horn Port_3

“This seems rather inappropriate, doesn’t it?”

Lais looked at the familiar figure that had suddenly appeared and let out a sigh of relief, quickly saying:

“Lord Halil, I…”

Halil waved his hand, signaling Lais to be silent.

Truth be told, he was also somewhat uneasy. As the guardian of this gray harbor, he naturally couldn’t allow anyone to attack the port; he had no choice but to show himself.

He had thought it was merely a matter of communication, but who could have expected the other party to strike so abruptly?

But facing the terrifying fireball in front of him, clearly launched by the one who had killed Patrick, he could not locate his opponent’s position, nor could he even detect their presence.

The only auras on the “Hurricane” in front of him were silver and bronze, definitely not theirs.

This was far more frightening than merely concealing one’s presence; if he were attacked, he might not even be able to defend himself.

A few moments after Halil appeared, a figure also emerged atop that fireball, looking down at Halil.

Halil took note of this figure immediately and looked intently.

The young and handsome face of Lis Kain appeared before Halil, bringing him a slight shock.

So young, looking only about twenty years old.

Go to

Halil could hardly believe it, knowing only a Legendary Strongman could alter their own appearance.

So, unless some special artifact was used, this person had indeed become a Gold-level strongman at around twenty years old.

Moreover, one capable of killing a seasoned Gold-level fighter like Patrick, which was not something a newly advanced Gold-level could accomplish.

Most importantly, a Gold-level professional so young surely wouldn’t have a simple background!

Halil had never heard of such a young strongman in the Boditch Kingdom; could he be from another kingdom?

Most importantly, even though Lis Kain stood before him, he still couldn’t sense Kain’s presence, as if there was only emptiness there.

Could it be a problem with his eyes?

Looking at the calm but potentially explosive blue fireball beneath Lis Kain’s feet, Halil already felt a hint of retreating.

“I am Halil, the leader here. May I inquire as to your name?”

Halil extended goodwill towards Lis, hoping to ease the chilling atmosphere at the dock.

Moreover, Charles had just affirmed that they were the “Eagle Pirate Group.” Although the “Eagle Pirate Group” had already made a name for itself on the Pearl Sea, the identity of its leader remained unknown to outsiders.

“Lis Kain, captain of the ‘Eagle Pirate Group.’

Lis said with a smile, but his next words took Halil by complete surprise.

“Of course, I am also Marquis Kane of the Feis Kingdom.”

The Feis Kingdom! Marquis Kane!

Not only were Halil and the people on the dock stunned, but even Helen and Charles, who were still watching the drama unfold from the “Hurricane,” were also shocked.

Helen’s delicate hand tightly gripped the corner of Charles’s clothes as she asked quietly:

“Uncle Charles, did you know the master is a Marquis of the Kingdom?”

Charles looked at Helen and shook his head.

Don’t ask me; I know nothing!

And the dock was now a complete mess, with Halil even more shocked!

He did not doubt the truth of Lis’s words; after all, a young Gold-level professional was even rarer than a kingdom’s Marquis.

And this also explained why Lis could become a Gold-level at such a young age.

Especially since the Feis Kingdom had a Legend Mage, “Judgement Flame,” making it naturally well-endowed in terms of mage capabilities compared to the Boditch Kingdom.

But still, a Marquis!

The family Halil belonged to was also merely a noble family with a marquis title.

However, now that the Feis Kingdom was at war with the Boditch Kingdom, why would a Marquis from the Feis Kingdom appear here at such a sensitive time?

Halil looked toward Lis, silent for a moment, unable to help but speculate.

As the war had dragged on for half a year, many in the Boditch Kingdom had started to see the reality.

With the Church of the Gods not intervening, the Boditch Kingdom was no longer able to resist the invasion from the Feis Kingdom, and its downfall was only a matter of time.

Even though the frontline was still at a stalemate near Luminous Stone City, from the Boditch Kingdom’s reallocation of navy troops to the frontline, the situation was already quite dire.

Many coastal nobles had already begun moving their wealth, preparing for the worst.

Halil was also one of the major participants in this, so facing a Marquis from the Feis Kingdom, he was somewhat at a loss.

“Even if you are a Marquis of Feis, you cannot just disregard the rules of Giant Horn Port.”

After a moment’s hesitation, Halil still spoke up to Lis.

There was no choice; the port of Giant Horn was the most critical part of his family’s escape plan. He couldn’t just let Lis act recklessly.

Even though he had already been prepared to make a deal with Lis, protocol had to be followed.

Lis’s lips curved slightly upward as he gently waved his Jade Wand.

Truth be told, he didn’t care about Halil’s attitude.

After all, he was here to pick a fight!

If the other party was too cooperative, it wouldn’t be easy to strike directly. Now, this was just perfect!

He knew that after the fall of the Boditch Kingdom, many Boditch nobles had fled southward, the rest entering the Pearl Sea.

Although the nobles of the Boditch Kingdom were all decadent types, their reactions when faced with the threat of extinction were remarkably rapid.
