1437 Pope Lockmarton
“Be careful!”
Prince Lekas shouted in a low voice. With a wave of his arm, he spread out his domain and enveloped Chu Nan and the other three, instantly stabilizing the surrounding space.
However, although he could protect the four of them, he could not stop the entire space from changing. The space around him had already changed countless times at this moment, from the stability of the previous teleportation door to extremely surging waves. In the next moment, the scene in front of the five of them changed again. A bright light shone over from all directions, illuminating the five of them, including Prince Lekas, almost without any blind spots.
“Oh, esteemed Prince Lekas, if you want to play in our Perseus Arm, you can inform us through official channels. The alliance will definitely receive you well as a VIP. Why do you have to sneak through the hole like a mouse? Don’t you think this is really beneath your status?”
An old voice that was clearly filled with mockery suddenly sounded from ahead. The vibration of spatial energy abnormally clearly entered the ears of Prince Lekas and Chu Nan and the other three.
Chu Nan noticed that when he heard this voice, Prince Lekas’s expression clearly changed slightly. Then, he calmed down and looked in the direction of the voice.
Somewhere not too far away in that direction, a thin figure floated.
Although he looked thin and small, Chu Nan only glanced at him and immediately sensed that he was abnormal.
He was clearly in such a chaotic space, but Chu Nan could not sense any aura from him. Even if he had clearly seen him and heard his voice, he gave people the feeling that he was a dead person.
This was different from the hidden aura of ordinary martial artists. He really did not seem to have any aura, because the spatial energy raging in the surrounding space seemed to have completely ignored him and was not affected by him at all.
Chu Nan’s expression could not help but change.
A martial artist who could do this could only be an extremely powerful Star-Grade Martial Artist, and he was not an ordinary Star-Grade Martial Artist.
“Honorable Pope Lockmarton, I haven’t received any news about you in a few years. I thought you had already died quietly and was still wondering why your Erehuana Military Treaty Alliance actually wanted to hide such a huge matter. I didn’t expect you to still be alive and in good spirits. I’m really very happy to see you here with my own eyes.”
It was unknown if it was intentional, but Prince Lekas’s response was also transmitted to the west through the microwave vibration of spatial energy, allowing Chu Nan and the others to hear it clearly.
“It’s actually Pope Lockmarton!” Princess Romanti cried out in surprise, “I thought he was already dead.”
Chu Nan and Angie Prairie were a little puzzled. Just as they were about to ask who this Pope Lockmarton was, they heard him send another voice transmission from afar.
“Heh heh…” Pope Lockmarton first let out a dry laugh that was filled with decay, then said, “Thank you for your concern, Prince. My body is not bad. I don’t think I’ll die earlier than His Majesty. Previously, I heard from others that the esteemed His Majesty seemed to have made a small mistake when cultivating martial techniques and almost died from cultivation deviation, right?”
Prince Lekas’s expression sank before he smiled.
“It’s only a small problem. It’s not a problem at all. His Majesty is very healthy now. Thank you for your concern, Pope.”
“Oh? Is that so? Then it’s really gratifying. His Majesty Gremayne is one of my old friends. If he dies like this, I’ll be very disappointed. Oh, Goddess of Wisdom and Harvest, Esevy. May she bless His Majesty Gremayne to be healthy forever until he returns to the arms of God.”
“The royal family of Declan has never believed in gods. I don’t think His Majesty will respond to your blessings.” Prince Lekas still had a smile on his face, but his tone was extremely cold.
“Oh, that’s a pity. May Goddess Esevy forgive these people who don’t believe in gods. The Goddess will definitely use love to influence you and let you join her arms.”
“Compared to the love of the goddess, we’re more willing to believe in the power in our hands.” Prince Lekas shook his head, “Your Holiness, the time for small talk has passed. Please move aside. I still have to bring these children to do serious matters.”
“Is that so?” Only then did Pope Lockmarton cry out in surprise as if this was the first time he had seen Chu Nan die, “I believe these four cute children don’t all belong to your empire, right? Just like the children who accidentally barged into us previously, they don’t all belong to your Declan Empire and other children from all over.”
Prince Lekas and Chu Nan’s expressions changed.
“As expected, there are still some especially outstanding children who have successfully broken through here?” Prince Lekas laughed, “I brought these four children here this time to find these children who were accidentally lost. Your Holiness, if you know their whereabouts, please tell me. I thank you sincerely on behalf of the empire.”
“Oh, Prince Lekas, you’re too polite. As believers of the Goddess Esevy, we naturally only love these cute children especially, but… I’m afraid they won’t return with you.”
“Hmm?” Prince Lekas was stunned before his expression sank, “What do you mean?”
Pope Lockmarton waved at the four of them.
“Please follow me.”
Seeing Pope Lockmarton fly into the distance, Princess Romanti grabbed Prince Lekas who was about to move.
“Uncle Lekas, Pope Lockmarton suddenly appeared here. There might be a trap. We can’t go over like this!”
Prince Lekas glanced at Princess Romanti and smiled as he grabbed her hand.
“Don’t worry, this is all within expectations.”
After saying that, he turned around and instructed Chu Nan seriously, “Watch carefully later. If there’s any information related to the teleportation door, remember to remember it.”
“Yes.” Chu Nan hurriedly agreed.
“You only need to follow me. As long as you see and think more, don’t say anything else, understand?” Prince Lekas instructed the other Angie Prairie and Carola.
“Alright, Your Highness (Uncle Lekas).”
Seeing that everyone agreed obediently, Prince Lekas nodded and flew towards Pope Lockmarton who had stopped and was waiting for them to move.
Seeing everyone approach, Pope Lockmarton laughed.
“It seems that even after not seeing you for many years, your temper hasn’t changed at all, Lekas. If it was your dear brother, he definitely wouldn’t take the risk like you.”
Prince Lekas sneered, “His Majesty’s status is different from mine. The stability of the entire empire and the royal family has to be protected by him. How can he casually come personally?” At this point, Prince Lekas changed the topic and suddenly smiled, “Your Holiness, you said that we’re taking a risk personally. Do you mean that danger is waiting for us ahead?”
“We’ll talk about it after you arrive, right? Let’s go.” Pope Lockmarton smiled and avoided this question before flying into the depths of the space with everyone.
Before long, Chu Nan felt another obvious change in the space around him. However, it was much calmer than the previous sudden change and the surrounding scenery was not so intense.
In short, this change was very similar to the feeling when he passed through the teleportation door. There was not much difference.
The energy fluctuations in the surrounding space gradually stabilized, and the scenery gradually stabilized and became clear.
The light in front of everyone became even brighter, but because it was too bright, no one could see their surroundings clearly for a moment.
“We’re here. Everyone can leave.” Pope Lockmarton suddenly waved his hand and led the way out.
Prince Lekas followed without any hesitation and Chu Nan and the other three immediately followed.
The feeling of leaving the range of the light was exactly the same as when he walked out of the teleportation door. However, after walking out and seeing the situation in front of him, Chu Nan, Angie Prairie, and Princess Romanti could not help but exclaim.
