Chapter 29: Jinhsi and Changli!
"Just let me… personally have a taste of your att…"
Camellya spoke somewhat frantically, and her hair shifted from white to red.
But just as she was halfway through her sentence, after sensing the life force sent over by Rover…
She froze on the spot, her body trembling slightly uncontrollably… tears began to flow from her eyes.
"He… he… he remembers me… he knows me… as expected, he could never hurt me."
With an incredibly excited expression, Camellya murmured while watching the Rover drifting further and further away in the distance.
It turned out that the burst of life force just now not only brought immense relief to Camellya's body but also restored some of her original memories.
Suppressing the urge to go forward and acknowledge him, since she had already waited for so many years anyway… she didn't mind waiting a little longer.
Moreover, she had a very strong premonition that this time, that person would not disappear again…
Then, that also meant she didn't need to return to the capsule.
This wait of thousands of years, none of it was in vain.
.....
On this side, Rover had already entered Jinzhou City.
Although this city-state served as the front line of war, it still stood like a giant fortress standing proudly occupying the world with a majestic momentum of unrivaled dominance.
Compared to the Jinzhou in the game, although the elements were more or less the same, the details and size could be said to be worlds apart.
"Miss Yangyang, you have returned. Magistrate-sama is waiting at the City Hall for the arrival of this Rover-sama."
As soon as they stepped into the city-state, a city defense soldier immediately jogged over. After speaking, he saluted and waited for the Rover's response.
"Alright, please trouble you to lead the way."
Rover returned the salute. He had always respected such warriors who defended their country with their lives from the bottom of his heart.
After all, wasn't this originally tattered world being stitched and patched together by such a group of people?
And his so-called salvation was more about saving these people who were worth saving.
"My Lord, you are too polite, please follow me."
Facing Rover's return salute, the border guard hurriedly stepped aside, expressing that he could not accept such an honor.
Then he immediately led the way towards the Jinzhou City Hall.
"Rover, the Magistrate must have important matters to discuss with you, so we won't tag along to join the fun. When you're done, we'll treat you to a meal."
After walking for just a short while, Yangyang spoke up to indicate that they would not be going with him.
Rover nodded at this. Since he indeed had things to accomplish with Jinhsi on this trip, he naturally had no objections to hearing the girls say this.
After bidding farewell to the girls, he followed the city defense soldier through Jinzhou City for quite a while before finally arriving at the elevator entrance below the Border Court.
"Jinzhou City is indeed much bigger than in my impression."
Standing in the elevator, looking at the scenery outside, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"This is the center of Jinzhou after all, so naturally, a lot of effort was spent on its construction."
"Ahead is the City Hall. Your subordinate will not accompany you inside, My Lord."
The soldier responded to Rover's exclamation while also informing him that his guiding duty ended here.
"Alright, then I will proceed by myself from here."
Rover nodded, and after saying goodbye… he stepped into the Jinzhou City Hall without any obstruction.
Just as he stepped inside, Jinhsi had already appeared at the door to welcome him.
"The current Magistrate of Jinzhou welcomes your arrival."
"Due to certain special reasons, I was unable to personally go out to welcome you. I hope you can forgive me."
The beauty walked over gracefully, bowed slightly in front of Rover, and greeted him.
"It's fine, I'm not some big shot. We can just treat each other as friends."
"By the way, where is Jue? Why can't I sense His aura… Logically, He should be here."
Rover waved his hand to signal her to relax, then stated the purpose of his visit.
Although after possessing the Mythical Heartsteel, he didn't need to absorb Jue's Spectro power at all anymore.
But since the other party was his subordinate, and he was already here… naturally, he had to meet Jue.
Furthermore, observing that Jinhsi had not yet undergone her second resonance, he speculated whether Jue's injuries had not completely healed.
"Ah? Your relationship with the Sentinel is?"
Seeing Rover call the Sentinel by name directly, Jinhsi asked about his relationship with Jue with slight surprise.
"Jue calls me Arbiter. What relationship do you think we have?"
Facing Jinhsi, Rover didn't hide anything. After directly stating their relationship, even Jinhsi couldn't help but be shocked.
"No need to be so surprised. You should tell me about Jue's current situation first."
Since it concerned the layout of the entire Jinzhou, Rover intended to settle this matter before discussing anything else.
"This… The Sentinel, He has gone into seclusion. He said he is confident of breaking through to a certain realm when he comes out."
Jinhsi did not doubt Rover's words at all, so she held nothing back regarding Jue's whereabouts.
"Gone into seclusion? And at a time like this… Breaking through realms? Then how long will He be in seclusion?"
Hearing that Jue had actually gone into seclusion, to be honest, Rover was somewhat speechless.
Clearly, after knowing that he would come to Jinzhou, Jue had completely lost any worries and directly dumped this mess into his hands.
As for that dragon scale left for Jinhsi, bluntly put, it was just for emergencies.
Unless Jinzhou truly faced a moment of life and death, Jinhsi would never use that dragon scale.
Just then, a graceful and beautiful woman walked out from the inner chamber.
The beauty's long legs and slender waist had near-perfect proportions. The combination of a black short skirt and stockings highlighted the smooth lines of her legs even more.
Her left arm bore vermilion scorch marks due to her resonance ability, accompanied by flame-colored streams of light. The entire combination could be said to display all her advantages vividly.
"Regarding such matters, the Sentinel did not tell us."
"However, one thing is certain: from now on, everything in Jinzhou will center around you."
"Hello, Rover. Nice to meet you, I am Changli."
First, she explained the Sentinel's situation and the entrustment to the Rover.
Only after that did she introduce herself. This detail showed that Changli always placed Jinzhou above herself.
"I never said I wanted to take over Jinzhou."
"Never mind, for now, let's perform the second resonance for Jinhsi first."
Rover waved his hand. After politely declining the takeover of Jinzhou, he intended to first fulfill the agreement he had with Jue earlier.
That was to personally perform the second resonance for Jinhsi. After all, he already possessed a part of Jue's power.
Plus, the original authority depended on him anyway, so this task really wasn't difficult for him.
