A rare magical miracle in the world

"So your master is no good, huh."

"Hmm."

General Winter didn't argue; everyone under the heavens who knew the Master of Miracles was aware of Count Thorn's cowardice.

Just like Morgan was disappointing, any Master of Miracles could ridicule them in private.

Of course, Count Thorn was also the subject of such ridicule.

Shut-in, deadbeat, cowardly, lack of ambition, incompetent, waste, garbage, no fighting spirit, weakling...

As a retainer of Count Thorn, General Winter had heard these kinds of remarks for decades.

Do you think he got used to it?

What a joke, how could he possibly get used to it.

But General Winter understood the Earl and knew his situation, "Having met him is my life's honor. He may not be a conqueror, but I am still willing to serve him as king."

"Even if it costs you your life?"

"What did you see?"

"I saw stars."

Grandpa Luwei said, "Last night, I saw a shooting star fall, it was a marshal's star."

"Is that a bad thing?"

General Winter smiled, "If that marshal's star is indeed me, then it's something to celebrate."

"You've reached that point, haven't you?"

Grandpa Luwei said, "Has this city disappointed you?"

"Cities like Hiruen are a dime a dozen under the heavens," said General Winter, "but unfortunately, it belongs to me, and yet I am powerless over it. My incompetence is a disgrace to my teacher's teachings."

"Let's not waste any more words, lend me a boat."

"Are you going to find Saros?"

"..."

Grandpa Luwei was silent for a while, while the Ghost Princess and others had serious expressions. They were a bit surprised that General Winter knew about this matter.

"Don't worry, I won't harm you."

"But you won't be able to leave by sea," said General Winter as he stood up and looked at the silent Grandpa Luwei, "I know how capable you are, better than anyone. The most talented amongst our teacher's students was always you, eldest brother."

"Did you not expect this?"

General Winter walked past Grandpa Luwei, not taking The Lu Wei Family seriously at all, "The Iron Eagle King has been looking for Saros all these years, and he is really remarkable. We tried everything and still couldn't find him."

"But you," said General Winter, "especially you, have been under my surveillance."

"Someone reported earlier that a girl and a young man went out," said General Winter, "I don't know what they were up to, but I had people follow them."

"Then I heard news from Yatun Duchy, and I was going to have the people watching them forcibly bring them back."

However, Yellow Spring and Asura had come back of their own accord, summoned by Old Luwei.

"..."

In the room, Grandpa Luwei remained calm and composed, while the Ghost Princess and others, especially Asura and Yellow Spring, were on the verge of drawing their swords.

It turned out that they were all under the surveillance of this old man.

"Are you courting death?"

However, Grandpa Luwei suddenly reprimanded, "Stand down!"

To draw a sword on the Child of Miracle, had they gone mad?

"Grandpa..."

"This time, it's my fault."

Grandpa Luwei said, "But since when have you become so despicable, Shan Xianzhai?"

"Your talents are far above mine," General Winter remarked, "and your children couldn't possibly be weaklings."

"My lord has a feud with Saros, and I wanted to stop it at the start, but I couldn't."

"In that case," said General Winter, "I can't let you go even more."

If Bailuo were to gain aid from The Lu Wei Family, a group of swordsmen skilled in battle, wouldn't the already disadvantaged Count Thorn be digging his own grave?

"Grandpa!"

Soon after, The Lu Wei Family was confined to an estate in an ancient city.

There were no guards here, but The Lu Wei Family didn't dare to run away.

Because if they dared to flee, General Winter would take action immediately, and there was no way they could escape from his grasp.

General Winter had absolute confidence in his own strength and was not afraid of them running away.

"This time, it's my fault."

Grandpa Luwei said, "But you don't need to worry."

"Could it be," asked the Ghost Princess, "that all of this was within your expectations?"

"I don't have any expectations, and the last thing I'm good at is scheming," said Grandpa Luwei, "Who would have expected, that all of us were living under Shan Xianzhai's surveillance."

"Fortunately, Saros told me more than ten years ago, if we found his whereabouts, to gather in the ancient city years later."

"Isn't that walking right into a trap?"

Yellow Spring said, "With a monster like General Winter in the ancient city, how is coming here any different from entering a wolf's den or a tiger's lair?" Continue reading at empire

Of course, Yellow Spring and Asura couldn't defeat the Miracle Troop Type even if they didn't come here; they still had to return to this place.

So it was an unsolvable vicious circle.

Miracle Power surpassed mundane efforts; no matter how exceptional they were, it did not help.

"Most of what I said to him earlier was a probe, but one sentence was indeed true."

"Which one?"

"The falling of the marshal's star."

Grandpa Luwei said, "I've pondered over Saros's plan for more than a decade, and only recently did I understand it."

"He wants to attack Hiruen," said Grandpa Luwei, "because only by taking this place can Yatun come from the sea to the shore and compete with Iron Eagle and Thorns for dominance."

"So he wants us to wait in Hiruen for…"

"This is also the last strategy he gave me."

Grandpa Luwei took out a small bag from his bosom, opened it, and then took out a small piece of parchment, "Whenever you arrive in the ancient city, that's when to open it."

The Lu Wei Family gathered around to see Old Luwei unfold the parchment, which had one word written in Ancient Yatunese [Wait].
