Chapter 288: There Must Be a Conspiracy!
The explosion went through four layers of magical barriers before it finally stopped, and The Gate of Hell is completely broken.
"The Gate of Hell… is broken?" Aileen said, a bit in disbelief.
This was something brought out by the Wizard Association, and showing it at this moment surely showed great confidence.
How could this happen? How did it break?
"By the gods!" the host exclaimed in shock, "The spirit of the knight has even shattered the chains of The Gate of Hell!"
Although the host tried hard to save the situation, The Gate of Hell being broken meant it was broken, and the audience began to boo.
However, seeing this scene was more interesting than the competition, and with Karoso surprising many people, it wasn’t too disappointing.
After a break at noon, in the afternoon, the group switched to a different testing method, and the tournament directly found them suitable opponents.
Whether or not they could pass depended a lot on luck; some would draw strong opponents, while others would get weak ones.
Tomorrow will have a break for one day, and the competition rules and all the participating events will be delivered to the contestants.
……
In the evening, Karoso returned to his place feeling a bit tired.
"Hey, little friend, you look very tired," Alita was already waiting, "What did you bother President 『』 about? She didn’t even have time to chat and spent the whole day in the alchemy lab."
"I’m working on Emperor Goufuh for the Nature Mage Association; I probably won’t have a break for a while," Karoso said as he sat on the sofa. "Teacher Alita, have you finished your eighth-tier card set?"
"I’ve finished it… Wait, what do you want to do?" Alita looked at him suspiciously.
She is different from 『』; 『』 really sees Karoso as a disciple and agrees with him on many things.
Besides, 『』 is also a kind-hearted person.
Alita is not the type to enjoy trouble, nor is she the type to seek the spotlight, which is clear from how she has stayed at home for so many years.
Taking her out to have fun is fine, but asking her to do too much is a bit too much.
"It’s nothing, just asking." Karoso did not know that the damage to The Gate of Hell, along with the appearance of the Dream Card, would bring unknown things to this big competition.
In any case, there is much more to do afterwards, and it is more complicated. Even with Karoso’s planning abilities, he cannot cover everything.
Sigh… It would be great if there were capable people available.
At that moment, a shadow suddenly flashed through Karoso’s mind.
That guy’s strategic planning skills are no less than mine…
……
When Saaya opened the hotel door, it was as if he had seen a ghost.
"Karoso, what are you doing here?" Saaya had never thought that Karoso would come to visit him.
He instantly tensed up, watching Karoso warily, his hand already resting on his wallet.
If anything seemed off, he planned to call for help.
A wizard fighting someone like Karoso in close combat was a sure way to get killed!
"Second Brother, I’m here to discuss something with you," Karoso said.
"Discuss something?" Saaya’s gaze grew stern, "Did Father send you?"
"No, I wanted to talk to you myself," Karoso replied.
"You want to talk to me?" Saaya sensed a hint of conspiracy, but he didn’t know what Karoso specifically intended to do.
They were brothers, so Saaya found it hard to refuse Karoso openly.
Mostly because Karoso had never reached out to Saaya first, and Saaya had never sought him out either. Karoso’s sudden visit caught Saaya off guard.
"Let’s chat outside!" Saaya’s room had no magical circles, just the hotel’s original protective measures. He was worried that Karoso might find a way to trigger the magic circle or set a trap after entering.
Saaya didn’t think Karoso would dare to kill him, but he could still make him miserable.
"Sure, how about Dragon Knight? I’ll treat you," Karoso said about the biggest nightclub, where the beautiful women were just as good as those in the City of Freedom that Karoso had visited.
Saaya was somewhat of a flirt, and Karoso knew that.
Saaya became more cautious.
The costs at Dragon Knight were high; you wouldn’t leave without spending at least tens of thousands. If you really went for it, you could easily spend hundreds of thousands.
However, the safety there was guaranteed…
No way, he must be trying to trick me, I can’t fall for it!
"Forget about that place, how about we go to Moonlit Beauty Tavern instead? I heard you met a young knight there," Saaya raised an eyebrow.
"Alright." Karoso replied happily.
Second Brother was indeed very interested in my actions. Whatever I did openly could not escape his eyes, which made things much easier.
Saaya was even more confused; he thought I would refuse the Dragon Knight Tavern and then go with him to Moonlit Beauty?
Saaya knew about the secrets of Moonlit Beauty; there were more hidden depths below, and the defenses were probably better than those at Dragon Knight.
Phew…
I couldn’t think any further; I didn’t know what layer he was on!
If I refused again at this moment and then chose a place I liked, it could be his real trap.
"Okay, then let’s go to Moonlit Beauty Tavern." Saaya nodded.
A trace of disappointment appeared on Karoso’s face.
When Saaya saw Karoso’s expression, he was about to feel proud, but his heart rang an alarm.
He is Karoso, and his grades in disguise class are not low. He might be pretending, wanting me to think I have solved his plan and feel proud, while he is actually still in control.
Saaya realized that it was easier to secretly fight against Karoso before, but now that Karoso was standing right in front of him, he didn’t know what to do!
Hoo, hoo, hoo…
Stay calm, I must stay calm.
He came to find me, which means he is fully prepared. At this time, no matter how I guess his plan, I might fall into his trap.
"Oh, I need to call my father." Saaya quickly said, "Since I got here, I haven’t let him know I’m safe."
Karoso tilted his head, "Do we even have a saying about letting people know we’re safe? Isn’t it just that when you go out and get into trouble, you blame yourself for not being capable?"
However, Karoso did not refuse.
Saaya seemed to grasp hope as if he were in a hopeless situation. He brought Karoso to the communication room, drew a magic circle, and called Osiris.
"Is there something wrong?"
Osiris always wore the same cold face when facing his three sons.
"Father…"
Even seeing Osiris, the person Saaya feared the most, brought him a sense of safety at that moment.
"Father, Karoso has safely arrived at the Pande Empire," Saaya quickly said.
"I know."
"He came to find me, and I will take good care of him."
"Hmm…"
Osiris frowned slightly. Karoso is looking for Saaya? That is a bit surprising, "Understood."
"Well, Father, I will definitely bring Karoso and Neymar back safely."
"Good."
After Saaya ended the communication, he felt a sense of relief, thinking, I have told Father we are together, so you can’t do anything to me now, right?
