Chapter 646 Going In Search Of Another Leaf



After 5 minutes of standing in that forest near the Imperial Prison, Lothur's group finally saw Ice stabilizing its cultivation at level 16!

With this breakthrough, it reached the understanding necessary to learn to speak.

"Thank you, brother Lothur!" It said in a feminine voice, full of gratitude for this human.

"Hmm, now that you have advanced, let's leave. I have things to take care of." He said, indicating for his group to get ready to move towards their next goal.

Everyone began to move closer to Lothur after his words while he was already manipulating space so his group could travel through the vacuum of space.

Ice saw the surroundings changing as Lothur controlled the space nearby, for the first time experiencing the abilities of a Saint.

"Can brother Lothur do that now?" It asked in a low voice, catching Rebecca's attention.

Rebecca smiled at it and said. "With what Lothur is doing, we can travel invisibly to other people below the 4th stage."

"Is that true?"

"Yes, and that's not the main thing. As we travel through the vacuum, the distances are greatly shortened. A path that would have been 100 kilometers becomes a journey of less than half that distance by traveling through it."

"That's really amazing!" It said with its eyes shining.

Lothur then finished what he was talking about and said. "Two of the strongest of you will carry Ice. I will take Rebecca."

Rebecca and Ice were the weakest of the group and would naturally move more slowly.

Lothur quickly picked up his woman and made her hold onto him while leaning on his back, with hands on his shoulders and legs around his waist.

Two men at the threshold from level 17 to 18 picked Ice up and put it on top of their heads, making this big beast feel a little ashamed of its size and for getting in their way like this.

But soon, Lothur and these people began to move quickly through space, even faster than the Transcendents who had brought him to the vicinity of this prison.

Unfortunately, they did not have teleportation formations like those deceased members of the imperial family. So it would take much longer for this group to get to Peters City than the less than 24 hours it had taken that group to get Lothur there.

"Where are we going?" Ice asked as it felt the advantages of moving through the vacuum of space.

Not only were distances shortened, but there were almost no particles to hinder their movement.

Even at high speed, Ice was not feeling its fur moving with the displacement of the particles in its path.

Luckily Saints could manipulate the space so that only the gas necessary to breathe was present in the surroundings, just enough so the group would not suffocate as they moved around.

Lothur replied. "We are going to Holland Province, specifically the second largest city in the province, where the headquarters of the Welzel family is."

"What exactly are we going to do in Welzel?" Rebecca asked.

She had not yet talked about it with Lothur.

He answered. "That family supposedly has something that affects me. I'll quickly check it out, and then we'll leave."

"Really? Not for pure revenge?" Rebecca remembered that members of this family were associated with the Third Prince's group against the Frost family.

He smiled and said. "Even if I wanted to avenge the Frost family, I couldn't. That would only show my position to everyone..."

"I see..."

...

As Lothur's group moved toward the second-largest city in Holland Province, Fritz Stauss was in that city for business.

Fritz was part of Lars Leopoldine's faction. That is, he was from the same group as the Welzel family.

Having come to this city on his father's orders, he was at the moment in the headquarters of this family, a grand mansion almost as large and magnificent as a palace.

In the residential area of this mansion, he was in a beautiful living room, where there were some games typically famous in this empire, but also a cheerful decoration, full of items that mixed the natural and the artificial.

Pictures were here and there, while at a coffee table, there were some food and drinks, and the people there were set on armchairs or sofas.

On one of the sofas in this place, Fritz was sitting next to the young master of the Welzel family, Leon, the level 16 heir of this family.

"Leon, His Highness is currently facing some problems, so we must adjust some of our plans," Fritz said as the black-haired, level 16 man watched him with a solemn expression.

"Your family has failed so badly in Linn Province, and now our whole group is being hurt because of one person," Leon said, looking at the incompetent person talking to him.

The subordinates of both men were in the area and couldn't help but glare at each other after those words.

Fritz clenched his fists, knowing that as unfair as it was to put all the blame on him, he had indeed failed against Lothur.

Because of his failures, Lothur had grown up with no one to stop him and had gone so far as to encourage Daemon to steal the Blood Crystal while the Emperor was away.

If their group had acted faster, the emperor would not be in seclusion at that moment, and Daemon would have had a harder time obtaining that crystal!

Considering it, several allies like Leon judged that the Stauss family's mistakes in managing the situation in Peters City had greatly hurt their group.

With the loss of the Blood Crystal, Lars' group had been held most responsible for this within the Imperial family. As such, they were losing some of the elders' support.

At the same time, as the families allied to Lars had already done many things against Klaus' group, they couldn't abandon their 'ship' now.

So they had to bear their losses and deal with the situation!

"Leon, that's not fair. For all we know, Lothur might be a half-breed. His abilities are far above mine. If you were me, you would have failed too." Fritz said, using that excuse to try not to sound like a complete incompetent.

"Maybe, maybe you are just a good-for-nothing," Leon dryly said as no one could say for sure whether Lothur was that or not. "But now that the milk is spilled, we must try to move quickly.

I suggest we set our sights on Linn Province again, but I will be in charge of everything this time."

"Linn? Why? Lothur's allies now dominate that place." Fritz said.

Leon smiled. "Why would it be but for the cars? He created that, but he can't enjoy it. We will take his business and use it against Klaus' group!"
