Chapter 630: Return my Jade Scroll.

Charles had even doubted that Borozh praised his novel so highly because of old grudges with his mentor, Don Quixote Cervantes.

Hmm, during his time in the Lionheart Dynasty, he had also heard a piece of gossip.

Of the six disciples of Don Quixote Cervantes, five were very secretive, with no information ever leaked, including their names.

Borozh was the only one who officially appeared in public.

There were many rumors about this, and the most widely circulated one was that Don Quixote Cervantes had his six disciples infiltrate the upper echelons of the Five Great Empires, hoping they could seize power.

...

According to this rumor, the most suspicious person in the Fars Empire was Wood Brandon.

However, Charles thought it was unlikely that Wood Brandon was a disciple of Don Quixote Cervantes, since Brandon was a centuries-old vampire while Don Quixote Cervantes was a genuine human who was not that old.

Charles did not join the battlefield but slightly sprayed the direction off course, bypassing the combat area where Zimmerman and Borozh were fighting.

But as the saying goes, “The tree desires tranquility, but the wind will not cease!” Though Charles was uninvolved, Zimmerman took offense at him.

This mighty figure, famous throughout the continent, faced Charles after taking a direct hit from Borozh’s Great Annihilation Art, broke out of the battle circle, and pointed his longsword directly at Charles.

Charles jumped in shock and shouted loudly, “Zimmerman!

What are you doing?”

Zimmerman yelled, “Return my Jade Scroll!”

Charles screamed, “What Jade Scroll?

Isn’t that a sacred treasure made by the great sage Mani?

How could I possibly have that?”

The legal ownership of the Jade Scroll definitely belonged to the Fars Empire.

Although Charles was a son-in-law of the Brittany Family, he couldn’t possibly seize such an important sacred treasure, especially since he deeply understood the principle of “an innocent man harbors no blame but possessing valuable jewels incurs crime”; he decisively couldn’t admit to having it.

Zimmerman was not conducting a legal investigation; he did not need evidence and was one hundred percent sure the Jade Scroll was with Charles.

This sacred treasure was extremely important to him, and he could not afford to lose it.

He’d rather give up fighting Borozh to capture Charles Mecklen and reclaim this pinnacle of human alchemy.

Charles activated the Quickness Technique × 27 and began clashing with Zimmerman in the air.

They were roughly on the same level, both at the Twenty-First Level, but their strengths far exceeded that rank.

Charles could be considered a strong Twenty-Second Level, while Zimmerman’s combat power was even more exaggerated, enough to sweep across the peaks of the Sacred Level in the New Continent, just falling slightly short of super-powered beings like Juno and Borozh.

Theoretically, Charles would be at a significant disadvantage, in grave danger, and quickly subdued by Zimmerman.

In reality, however, Charles darted around the sky like a carp in springtime, with Zimmerman unable to find an opportunity to engage him directly, so the two could only shoot Fighting Spirit bullets at each other from a distance!

Both were taught shooting by Juno.

Although Charles was significantly weaker, he had cultivated the Flame Scorching Blast Bullet to × 18 and the Flame Hand to × 18.

In this shooting exchange, he gained quite an advantage.

Even though Charles was darting all over the sky, avoiding a direct confrontation, the scene appeared to be “an even match.”

Borozh didn’t continue to fight but simply floated in the sky, starting to chant.

No matter Zimmerman or Charles, neither dared to show the slightest disrespect towards the last great philosopher of mankind.

Although Borozhe’s current status can be attributed first and foremost to having a good teacher, then again to having a good teacher, how could anyone who dared to betray even the so-called “walking miracle” not be extraordinarily capable?

Borozhe’s incantation agitated Zimmerman, who thought to himself, “If this old man completes his chanting, it will surely be a strike that shakes the heavens.

I must interrupt his spellcasting…”

Just as this thought emerged in Zimmerman’s mind, he saw a Magical Array’s glow radiating from Borozhe’s body, and then he realized Borozhe hadn’t been chanting an offensive spell, but had added a Defensive Magic Circle for himself.

In normal combat, who would have time to activate such a Magic Circle so leisurely?

In Charles’s heart, there was a different kind of admiration.

He had always wanted to use a Magic Circle independently to perfectly protect himself in battle, but whether it was the Radiant Magic Array or the Prime Blood Limit, he had never managed to achieve a standalone formation.

Borozhe’s ease at performing it alone made Charles both envious and jealous.

However, knowing he was the only living great philosopher among humans, it seemed more acceptable.

Borozhe then released the Defensive Magic Circle, and immediately began a second round of chanting.

Zimmerman was alarmed.

With Borozhe’s Defensive Magic Circle, even he couldn’t easily break through.

If this old man followed up with another grandiose offensive spell, he would definitely be in a predicament.

Zimmerman could no longer afford to entangle with Charles and began to distance himself, planning to back out of the fight.

But Charles saw this as a rare opportunity, pulled out his Red-Blue Rattlesnake, and fired repeatedly, trying to delay Zimmerman and buy time for Borozhe to launch an attack.

After several fierce counterattacks from Zimmerman, which Charles evaded using the Quickness Technique, the two battled in the sky for about seven or eight minutes before Zimmerman finally shook off Charles’s pursuit.

But just then, a second layer of the Defensive Magic Circle illuminated around Borozhe…

Without a second look, Charles also withdrew from the fight and headed straight for Xel City!

Zimmerman, burning with fury and not knowing how to vent, saw Borozhe still chanting.

Zimmerman was convinced this crafty old man could add a third layer to the Defensive Magic Circle, completely rendering him unable to attack.

He elegantly performed an Empire salute and gracefully retreated to his camp.

Upon entering Xel City, Charles saw the flags of the Fars Empire.

The town’s residents had been evacuated, and all buildings were requisitioned as barracks.

The Fars army occupied several streets, displaying Fars flags everywhere to demarcate the territories of the great nobles.

Spotting the House Brittany’s crest, Charles landed nearby, then saw Antonio, who came to welcome him with joy.

Antonio said, “Charles, Father is here too, let’s go see him together!”

Charles was also very concerned about the old Emperor, who had already agreed to the betrothal.

He was now eager to get married soon to avoid the tortures of the battlefield.

As for after the marriage…

At least his uncle had not obstructed him from having extramarital children.

The old Emperor of the House Brittany, upon seeing Charles, was deeply moved.

The last time he met Charles, it was regarding a rebellion.

Charles had claimed he could suppress the Axel Family’s rebellion within a month, and he truly did.

Charles also met Princess Akso, whose expression was complex.

Upon seeing Charles, she merely greeted him softly.

Charles could understand; the princess facing her son who had returned from the dead was not in high spirits…

Zimmerman was indeed a defiant traitor.
