Chapter 360 The Battle for the Sky-Blue Castle 1

Not long ago, the spirited middle-aged City Lord was still immersed in the joy of his precious daughter Orion Wolfe's sudden return.

Of course, what interested him more was undoubtedly the big figure behind the 2 million Gold Dragons.

As a doting father, he understood it all too well.

His unique and pampered daughter would rank at the top among the young nobles of Coldflame Kingdom in terms of being willful and reckless.

Even, if she tried harder, she could hope to be in the top three of the willfulness rankings.

But when it came to making and saving money, let alone 2 million Gold Dragons, even 2 Gold Dragons would be hard for her to muster the motivation for unless she was pushed to the limit.

It was clear that Orion Wolfe had encountered a noble benefactor, and this benefactor's power was extraordinarily strong!

"In short, if it weren't for the timely help of this big figure, the huge financial hole in Mystara City would have been completely plugged.

At the family conference a few days ago, I might have lost my position as City Lord to the covetous Grand Elder and his faction.

After all, the Grand Elder's faction held the position of Defense Army Commander, and the Mystara City's finances had been in deficit for years, causing instability within the army.

At that point, the consequences would undoubtedly be unimaginable.

Such an internal family struggle would certainly stir bloody storms within Mystara City, and my own life and wealth might have come to an end as well."

Thinking of this, an unrestrained reverence filled the face of Orion Wolfe's father.

"However, before I could ask the just returned Orion in detail about that big figure,

our entire City Lord Mansion and its island were mysteriously transported here along with a violent earthquake."

At this point, the middle-aged City Lord's face turned solemn again.

After that, before they could figure out what had happened, they immediately faced a bloody battle.

In this battle, against a formidable group of over a dozen Tier 3 Advanced Magical Puppets, some of which were even capable of flying-

Although they managed to eliminate all of them, the losses to the elite Royal Guard Squad and some of the castle's clansmen were quite heavy.

"After the initial battle, I personally took Orion, Amelia, and three elders to scout the surroundings.

We discovered that we were now on a Floating Island dominated by a forested area.

What surprised me even more was that the scenery outside the Floating Island was all mirrored.

Undoubtedly, it means that we are currently in an unknown Barrier Area, and from the initial situation, it seems to be very dangerous."

Realizing this, the middle-aged City Lord sitting at the head of the hall solemnly reinvigorated himself.

He then addressed the crowd, "Our top priority now is to find a way to escape this mysterious Barrier Area.

We can imagine that since our castle was able to be transported here along with the entire island, there must be a way to leave this place as well!"

"The City Lord is absolutely right." Hearing this, the Grand Elder sitting below slightly bowed and said, "But at this stage, we are still completely clueless.

Our scouting earlier didn't find any clues to leave this place, and more importantly, if we attract the attention of those advanced magical puppets again, things might get very messy."

"You have a point. Orion, do you have any good suggestions?" The helpless and serious-faced middle-aged City Lord turned to his darling daughter.

"Father, Amelia and I both have Invisibility Cloaks and rings that can hide our breath, so let us handle the task of scouting this place," Orion spoke after a brief moment of contemplation.

"Just now, I've also learned that in these past few days, Mystara City has been frequently experiencing abnormal energy fluctuations, which might be related to our current situation."

"That makes a lot of sense." The middle-aged City Lord nodded and continued, "By the way, Orion.

You mentioned earlier that the big figure was on his way to our Mystara City. Is it possible that he's trying to find a way to save us?"

Hearing this, the three elders' eyes lit up. If that big figure could really come,

then their current precarious situation might turn from dangerous to safe!

"Father, that person will definitely come to save us!"

At the words, Orion's furrowed brows relaxed completely, as she spoke determinedly, "So, no matter what, we must hold on until that person arrives!"

After Orion finished speaking, Amelia, who was beside her, nodded heavily, her face filled with conviction.

"Understood." Hearing this, the middle-aged City Lord's serious expression softened slightly, he regained his spirit and said, "Alright, in that case, let's proceed according to what we just discussed."
