Chapter 134 Lya's Arrival and Garrett's Premonition
Chapter 134 Lya's Arrival and Garrett's Premonition
Time passed by, and minutes soon turned into hours. As morning arrived, five identical luxurious carriages could be seen trotting forward toward the outskirts of the Moon Grove Forest, instantly attracting the attention of everyone in that area.
"Look. It's the Cai Family Insignia!" One of the Mages there screamed in shock as he pointed at the side of the carriage.
There, in striking detail, was an imposing white sword pierced through the crimson skull of an Abyssal Demon. "T-The Abyssal Demon Vanquishing Sword " He added in a shaky voice full of reverence.
"What!? Cai Family as in City Lord Cai from Harmony City!?"
"Who else would it be other than that Cai Family!?"
The people there muttered in awe and deep respect as they quickly bowed low to the five carriages. The Cai Family was greatly respected because of their contributions. The previous City Lord Cai Naoma was one of the leaders, who had led a full frontal assault on the Abyssal Demons a thousand years ago, slaughtering them before sealing the portal they had come out of.
Even to this day, the portal was heavily monitored at all times, just in case the seal broke and the Abyssal Demons charged out to slaughter everyone in their path.
Within the Lidia Empire territory, there was not a single individual, who had not heard of Cai Naoma's contributions. In fact, his fame had even traversed to the nearby kingdoms and empires. That was how renowned he was.
Although Cai Naoma died shortly afterward from a grievous wound inflicted by an Abyssal Demon, who had used a special Skill that sacrificed his Soul to unleash a deadly attack, his family was still revered and respected.
After his passing, his son Cai Jinbao took over as Family Head and helped create what was today known as Harmony City. He was a legendary figure in his own right, known for his brilliant mind and unparalleled leadership. Under his rule, Harmony City flourished, becoming one of the most peaceful cities in the Lidia Empire.

After a few short minutes, the carriages came to a halt, and the door of the frontmost carriage opened first. Out came a green-skinned Goblin with purple eyes and a matching set of short, neck-length hair. She was dressed in a tight purple dress, which revealed her toned legs but kept everything else hidden from perverted gazes. Experience tales at empire
This was, of course, Lya, who had traveled to Moon Grove Forest, under the pretense of protecting the store owners, but in reality, she only wanted to visit Garrett.
Behind her, the other carriages opened, and out came twenty excited store owners, who wanted to use this opportunity given by City Lord Cai to jump-start their businesses.
The people there were disappointed when they did not see City Lord Cai among their group; however, they also knew he was a busy man with many responsibilities on his shoulders.
After the store owners exited the carriages, Lya waved her hand, and the carriages shrank before they disappeared into her Storage Ring.
"Form a circle around the store owners and lead the way," Lya said to the guards with a beautiful smile that could make any man or even woman fall head over heels for her. Unfortunately, the men and women there did not have preferences for Goblins, especially a Goblin like Lya, who had a very strong taste. Her smile only caused them to shudder, and with stiff smiles, they nodded and led the way.
As Lya followed behind them with a spring in her step, she mused with adoration. 'Gaaarrreeetttt~ Your Lya has finally arrived!!'

Meanwhile, in the living room of James' tent, Garrett shuddered as a strange feeling washed over him. He could not quite understand the particular feeling. It felt as if someone was watching him… or maybe thinking about him?
"What's wrong, Captain?" Lane asked when he noticed the strange reaction.
"...I felt a strange feeling," Garrett said, then continued with a shake of his head, "It's probably nothing."
"Could it-
Be a premonition?"
The twins asked curiously.
"Hopefully, it's not related to the Secret Realm." Garrett sighed.

Meanwhile, the news of Lya and the twenty store owners quickly spread like a wave among the Mages. Soon, the information spread to the ears of the fifteen Mana Soul Realm Mages at the center of the Moon Grove Forest.
Even now, they had not given up on finding a solution to opening the Secret Realm. They were persistent and not willing to give up on the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Interesting." A woman with her red hair tied into a ponytail and a muscular appearance muttered as she glanced at her long-distance communication Artifact "What is Cao Jinbao up to this time?"
"Why would he send one of his City's Captains, a hundred guards, and twenty weak Mages here?" Another Mana Soul Realm Mage muttered as he looked at his long-distance communication Artifact.
They knew Cao Jinbao never made moves without thinking twenty steps ahead. Therefore, the Mana Soul Realm Mages all began muttering to themselves in an attempt to understand what he was up to this time.
"Old man Yu, what kind of scheme is City Lord Cai playing this time?" The red-haired Mana Soul Realm Mage asked an old man in white robes, who had been calmly looking at them with a smile.
The 'Old man Yu', Yu Han, smiled and replied to the fiery woman, Huo Yan, "This old man knows as much as you all know about what goes on in City Lord Cai's head. He sees and knows what others don't. After I sent a report detailing what has transpired in Moon Grove Forest since my arrival here, City Lord Cai asked me to protect the people he is sending. That is all this old man knows, City Lord Huo."
"Surely, you know more than that?" Huo Yan smirked and continued in a piercing tone, "Or has the Yu Family fallen so low that they became subordinates of the Cai Family?"
