267: The female devil hiding in Toya's capital

Chapter 267: The Female Demon Hiding in the Toya Imperial Capital

Two days passed without incident on the White Feather Beast.

Traveling by air on the White Feather Beast was indeed a very wise choice, preventing most attacks and assassinations.

Of course, not everyone was as stubborn as Leon. After learning that Fama was also accompanying them, basically no bounty hunters dared to take on the job.

Money or life, anyone with a normal brain could choose clearly.

Victoria was not idle these two days. She invited Dick to drink wine three times, ate four meals with him, and talked five times.

Each time, Victoria would try to steer the conversation towards that topic, but in the end, she failed. She simply couldn't cross the hurdle in her heart.

The best result was when Dick touched her abundant fruit, but even then, Victoria couldn't bear it for more than a few seconds.

Through their interactions over these few days, Dick was completely certain that Victoria was the most, most, most pure woman he had ever met in this life.

She had the awareness and intention to sacrifice herself for her country, and was determined to put it into practice.

But it was like an allergic reaction; as soon as they progressed to a certain point, her body would immediately become extremely resistant, completely out of control.

...

On the morning of the fourth day, three White Feather Beasts arrived near the Toya Imperial Capital. This was a magnificent ancient city with a huge area, more than twice the size of the Amyria Imperial Capital.

After all, tens of thousands of years of history were laid out here. The Aimiya Empire was ultimately a late bloomer; its thousands of years of history only ranked among the last among the Northern Countries.

Moreover, the most awkward thing was that the Amyia Royal Family rose to power through rebellion, unlike other countries that were founded by their ancestors pioneering the land.

This is why the Aimiya Empire was looked down upon, especially by old powerful nations like the Toya Empire, which despised Amyria the most.

However, dominance and unification are never based on historical heritage, but on national strength.

The fact that the Aimiya Empire, with only a few thousand years of history, could become the strongest nation in the Northern region, second only to the Toya Empire, already explained a lot.

Undoubtedly, the Northern Countries were all useless. They rested on the glory of their ancestors, not seeking progress, and comfortably farmed their land.

As a result, the Aimiya Empire, being only slightly more powerful, became the second strongest nation in the Northern region, even threatening the Toya Empire's hegemonic position.

Looking at the prosperous Toya Imperial Capital below, Dick smiled.

As long as the Toya Empire was dealt with, Amyria would be the undisputed Northern hegemon. The other nearly one hundred countries were all worthless, and could be easily conquered.

The Toya Imperial Capital also had a beast training ground, and it was larger in scale, with a permanent presence of ten White Feather Beasts.

The three White Feather Beasts carrying Dick and his group landed here for supplies and to allow Victoria to return home.

However, the plan had changed. Victoria only intended to stay briefly in the Toya Empire before visiting the Bit Family in the Eternal Frost Forest.

Dick readily agreed. Since Victoria was staying by his side, he could also protect her safety.

Upon reaching the ground, a ceremonial procession of several hundred people played string instruments, blew trumpets, and beat large drums, welcoming Victoria's return.

"Dick, would you like to stay a night at my Toya Royal Palace?"

Facing Victoria's invitation, Dick gently refused, "No, Princess, I appreciate your kindness, but the Toya Imperial Capital is so prosperous, I'd like to look around."

"Alright, I can be your guide after I finish dealing with things later..."

Victoria didn't insist. After all, Dick's identity was too special, and staying at the Royal Palace was indeed inappropriate. She was only asking out of politeness.

Suddenly, a court lady wearing a tall hat walked quickly towards them. She leaned close to Victoria's ear and whispered a few words.

Soon, Victoria's beautiful eyes widened, her expression completely losing control. She then hastily bid farewell to Dick and got into the carriage heading for the Royal Palace.

Crack!

The coachman vigorously cracked his whip, and the two spirited horses neighed, then galloped forward, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Watching the departing carriage, Dick's eyes narrowed slightly, and he murmured, "Is Emperor Kaiye dying...?"

Under the enhancement of various talents and Blessings, Dick's hearing was extremely strong. Even whispers as soft as a mosquito's buzz sounded like thunder.

What the court lady had just said was the news of Emperor Kaiye's critical illness. He had even lost consciousness and couldn't open his eyes.

An old man only 67 years old had reached the end of his life's candle. Emperor Kaiye had 100% gambled away his lifespan to a Demon.

"Master, I... sensed the aura of a fellow kind. She is in the Toya Imperial Capital!"

Listening to Kun's telepathic message in his mind, Dick keenly noticed the wording and immediately frowned, saying, "Is it a female Demon?"

"That's right, and her strength is above mine, and she has more sin than me..."

Kun's voice trembled slightly. He was clearly afraid, as Demons could devour each other.

And generally speaking, female Demons were more powerful than male Demons. Even at the same rank and with the same amount of sin, a female Demon could easily defeat a male Demon.

This was similar to Witches; females were always favored by the world will.

"Don't worry, we won't enter the city. We'll stay at the inn near the beast training ground and leave early tomorrow morning."

Dick didn't plan to wait for Victoria for too long. After all, a high-level Demon was in the Imperial Capital, and staying too long would eventually lead to trouble.

Looking into the distance at the Toya Imperial Capital, at the majestic city walls dozens of meters high, Dick instructed, "Stay put in the Demon Sealing Talisman and shield your aura as much as possible. That female Demon shouldn't come looking for trouble."

"As you command, Master."

Although Dick had many methods, for now, it was best to stay away from high-level Demons as much as possible.

However, if she actively sought him out and attacked him, Dick wouldn't mind engaging.
