Gatekeeper Of All Realms Chapter 94

Prince Norton composed himself, and just as he was about to speak, the notebook on his desk suddenly flickered with a continuous light.

Military intelligence!

He immediately strode to the desk and looked down, realizing what had happened.

“Page! We won a great victory!”

The Prince said, overjoyed, “The undead seem to have learned of the legendary assassin’s death, and now their battle formation has begun to collapse. Our army is in full pursuit!”

“That’s great!” Shen Ye echoed.

Prince Norton laughed heartily, pounding the table with his hand, “This is all thanks to you. Tell me, what official position do you want? I will definitely bestow it upon you!”

“An official position? There’s no need for that, but Your Highness, I have a friend who is deeply troubled by a curse. Is there any treasure that can lift curses?” Shen Ye asked.

“Is that so,” Prince Norton’s wary gaze lessened a bit, and he said in a teasing tone, “It’s rare for you to think of a friend at a time like this – is it a man or a woman?”

“A woman,” Shen Ye said truthfully.

—The truth.

A person who doesn’t covet power, a person who is willing to give for a woman or for friendship.

Tsk.

Prince Norton felt a bit more comfortable and pondered, “Such treasures are very rare. How about letting the Grand Priest try? By the way, you can also bring that friend of yours. Perhaps I can even ask the elves to lift the curse.”

“No, my friend doesn’t want to show herself to people,” Shen Ye said with some difficulty.

A lie.

But this time, Prince Norton smiled with a bit of understanding.

In fact, his personal appearance was already a great honor.

Asking the Grand Priest for help was the same.

But young people in love always have some romantic ideas.

And frankly, the effect of treasures is stronger than that of priests.

For example, the Divine Compassion Gem hanging around his neck, its effect—

Wait!

Prince Norton’s face stiffened.

He looked at Shen Ye and saw that Shen Ye was indeed looking at the pendant on his chest.

A moment of silence.

The whisper of Big Skeleton still echoed in Shen Ye’s ears:

“The Divine Compassion Gem hanging around the Prince’s neck is a gem specifically for lifting curses. It’s the strongest in the whole world—”

“At least among known treasures, there’s nothing better at lifting curses.”

Shen Ye scratched his head and said, feigning surprise:

“Wow, Your Highness, your chest is glowing. Such a precious thing, can it be used?”

…Can it be used?

Prince Norton pondered for a moment and gradually understood.

“Can it be used?”

This sentence contained several meanings.

First.

Is this thing good or bad, can it be effective against curses?

Second.

Can I have this thing?

Third.

Can I just use this thing as a reward?

From the context, Saint Page meant the second meaning implying the third meaning.

—This kid!

Prince Norton gritted his teeth, tore off the pendant, and threw it over:

“Take it, you damned fellow. This pendant could buy a city! You want to give it to a woman?”

“I’m taking it to save someone, to return a favor.”

Shen Ye laughed cheerfully and put away the Divine Compassion Gem.

Done!

No matter the final outcome, he had done his best.

—All even, no debts owed!

The Prince watched the gem disappear into Shen Ye’s hand, feeling a pang of pain, and glared:

“Get out and cook! I have work to do!”

“Alright, Prince; going now, Prince.”

Shen Ye was in high spirits and turned to leave the room.

Time slowly passed.

On the third day.

Prince Norton’s injuries further recovered.

This brought a sigh of relief to both him and Shen Ye.

Court Archmage Yudria arrived at the safe house with several subordinates to provide quick treatment for the Prince.

His strength was finally restored.

“Your Highness, the front lines have achieved a great victory, morale is high, and everyone says it was due to your excellent command. Everyone is waiting for you to return.”

Yudria reported.

Prince Norton nodded and said, “Mm, it’s time to return to the battlefield. Page, come with me!”

No response.

Where was he?

Prince Norton walked out of the study, only to find no trace of Page.

Only a pink pig was drawn on the wall of the living room.

Below it was a line of text:

“Killing one person in ten steps, leaving no trace for a thousand miles.”

Several subordinates came out and also saw this scene.

“Your Highness, he left without reporting to you!”

A priest couldn’t help but say.

Prince Norton gave a cold snort, walked to the pig painting, examined it carefully, and muttered to himself:

“This pig painting is really ugly… But why would he use a pig to represent himself?”

“He must be out of his mind.”

The priest still wanted to continue, “Your Highness—”

“No need to say more! Page is an assassin, carrying out my secret mission. Don’t worry about him, let’s go!” Prince Norton waved his hand.

…

Floating Island.

A sedan chair moved leisurely along the mountain path.

Suddenly.

A man’s voice came from inside the sedan chair:

“Stop!”

The maids carrying the sedan chair slowly halted.

The curtain was lifted.

Nangong Sirui stepped out, walked seven or eight meters along the mountain path, and smiled:

“Brother Guanshu, are you here?”

No response.

The mountain wind blew gently.

The trees swayed, and the leaves rustled.

“It’s so boring, you guys, always hiding your strength, not even competing for the rankings of new cards, and being so timid in exams, it’s really boring.”

Nangong Sirui complained.

Still no one answered.

Nangong Sirui rolled his eyes, gave a “humph,” and shook his head:

“Fine, fine, I’ll go back and tell my sister that Wang Guanshu is not worth looking at, he’s a coward who doesn’t even dare to show up for the exam.”

A voice suddenly came from the adjacent mountain wall:

“Is that fun for you?”

Rumble—

The mountain wall cracked open on both sides, revealing a narrow stone chamber inside.

A young man sat cross-legged on a futon, having just brewed a pot of tea and was now pouring it.

It was Wang Guanshu.

Nangong Sirui then walked in with satisfaction and sat across the tea table from the young man.

“I rarely bring out this tea for others to drink.”

Wang Guanshu said, placing a cup of tea in front of Nangong Sirui.

Nangong Sirui began to speak in a casual tone:

“It seems the restrictions on killing have been lifted, but you’re still hiding here, not going out for some fun?”

“I haven’t pledged allegiance to anyone, so you don’t need to probe,” Wang Guanshu said.

“Heh, I really don’t understand you guys. You’re incredibly powerful, yet you’re holed up here, not even competing for rankings—isn’t that too cowardly?”

Nangong Sirui sat with his chin in his hand, observing the other person and sighing.

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Wang Guanshu’s eyes, then quickly disappeared.

He said calmly:

“Not everyone can be as leisurely as you. Besides, I don’t like to show off.”

Nangong Sirui picked up the teacup and took a sip, gargled, and spat it all back into the teacup, then said lazily:

“Me showing off? Do you know I’ve been trying my best to suppress my strength?”

“You’re very strong, alright?” Wang Guanshu said helplessly.

“Glad you admit it. By the way, which school are you planning to go to?” Nangong Sirui asked.

“Of course, Jialan,” Wang Guanshu said.

Nangong Sirui nodded, put down the teacup, stood up, and walked out.

“Pardon the intrusion, I’m going for a walk. See you later.”

He said without looking back.

“See you at Jialan,” Wang Guanshu said.

Rumble—

The mountain wall closed.

Nangong Sirui returned to the sedan chair.

The maids lifted the sedan chair and continued to move forward.

Perhaps it was an illusion or something—

In any case, this time the sedan chair moved much faster than before.

It traveled like this for a full twenty minutes.

Suddenly, Nangong Sirui’s voice came from inside the sedan chair:

“Hello? Mom, are you buying supplies? Stop for a moment, find a quiet place to listen to me.”

“No, I know buying supplies is important, but this matter of mine is more important.”

“Okay, I’ll wait for you—don’t let anyone hear our conversation, otherwise, kill them all.”

After a few breaths.

His voice rang out again:

“Tell grandpa not to associate with the Wang family from now on, and not to let anyone from their family enter our home.”

“Hmm, yes, I saw Wang Guanshu.”

“…Quite miserable.”

“Yes, that’s right, your guess is correct.”

His voice suddenly became urgent:

“What are you waiting for, go see grandpa now, quickly!”

The call ended.

The sedan chair continued to move forward slowly.

In a moment.

A long sigh came from inside the sedan chair:

“The tea wasn’t poisoned, which made me too embarrassed to make a move to kill him…”

“Sigh, acquaintances are such a bother…”
