Chapter 4: Go to Another Kingdom

Exiting the palace, Alu was still holding the box that his mother left behind as he continued to stare at the box with curious eyes.

Having never seen his mother since childhood, Alu was used to living without a mother figure and he didn't really care about that.

But seeing the box, Alu began to feel a little curious about the figure of his mother.

Even though Alu didn't see anything that made the box look special, he still felt something very extraordinary from behind the lid. Something that seemed to call Alu to immediately open the box and take it.

"Oh, Old Joz might know something." ALU suddenly remembers one of the hidden experts who has been in Phoenix city for a long time.

What's special about Old Joz is his knowledge of the outside world. Even Zaden often asked Old Joz about the outside world.

"Since he's been here for so long, he might know something about my mother."

"Hm, but I need to complete the mission first. This journey will still take some time." Alu then put the box left by his mother into his storage ring.

After which, he then took out a black robe with a head covering. Alu put on the robe and covered his head before leaving the palace.

Even though there were several palace soldiers around, they didn't pay much attention to Alu. They seem to have gotten used to the Alu habit.

Alu then walked among the crowd while lowering his head.

In fact, apart from the palace warriors and the Phoenix Academy disciples, hardly anyone in the city recognized him.

But still, Alu prefers to hide his presence when he is around a crowd.

Alu walked with the crowd towards the city gate.

Alu's only mission is to catch the Prince and Princess at the hunting party, as for the rest, it is his father's business.

ALU just needs to convince the people of the two kingdoms that their Prince and Princess are in his hands. And if they didn't back off, he would kill them on the spot.

Of course, that's just a threat. However, if Alu lost the hostage, it would endanger himself.

....

Beside the road outside the city gates was a spiritual ship station.

To travel across the kingdom, it takes quite a long time. Although True Spiritual stage experts can fly through the air, most of them prefer to travel by way of spiritual ships. Apart from being faster, it also saves their energy.

With the population of the capital city of the Phoenix Kingdom numbering in the tens of millions, there were always people traveling all the time so spiritual ships were also available at almost all times.

The pestle who arrived at the station immediately walked towards one of the spiritual ships that looked ready to leave for the Blue Spiritual Kingdom.

It was a ship that was a hundred meters long and it looked like it could accommodate up to several hundred people where each person got their own room.

The ship appeared to need only a few more passengers before embarking on the journey.

"Thirty spiritual stones."

A man stretched out his hand towards Alu as Alu walked towards the stairs to board the spiritual ship.

Alu casually threw thirty spiritual stones at the man without raising his head. He then climbed the ship's ladder before entering the ship.

Even though the spiritual ship had its own lounge and entertainment space, Alu chose to go straight into the room and close his eyes to meditate. He didn't care about the people outside.

Alu only opened his eyes about a day later when he felt the ship he was traveling on began to descend from the air. But he remained seated until the ship actually landed.

Alu then stood up and came out of his room. Together with the crowd, he got off the spiritual ship.

And this time, Alu had already arrived at the capital of the Blue Spiritual Kingdom.

Since it was just an ordinary kingdom, the capital of Blue Spiritual Kingdom was much smaller than Phoenix city, but it was still as grand as Dragon city in the past.

Alu then walked into the capital of the Blue Spiritual Kingdom in the same manner as when he left Phoenix city.

In order to join this hunting party, Alu plans to disguise himself as the younger generation from the Blue Spiritual Kingdom.

And since this was an event for nobles, Alu needed to find someone to replace him with. After all, in the Blue Spiritual Kingdom, Alu doesn't have any status.

Of course, people with no background, yet extraordinary talent still had the right to join the hunting party. But Alu is not a person who likes to use flashy methods like that. Alu prefers to kill someone outright before disguising himself as that person.

Disguised as someone else! It may be difficult for others, but not for Alu. Faking his attitude was one of the exercises his father taught him from childhood. Although Alu never showed a friendly expression on his face, that was only when he was in his true form. If he wanted to, Alu could easily act like a useless bastard.

"Well, I guess I need to find out the information of the young nobles first." Said Alu silently. "It's better if it's someone close to the Princess."

After saying that, Alu who had just entered the city then walked somewhere.

Even though it was the first time that Alu came to this city, Alu still had a place to go to. And that is the base for the spies sent by the Kingdom of the Phoenix.

As the only Prince of the kingdom, Alu's authority in the kingdom is only one level below his father.

The headquarters of the royal spies in other kingdoms, Alu can visit them at any time and take all the information there. And as long as Alu is not far from the base, Alu can feel his presence.

It was a place of entertainment that could be said to be very luxurious. Of course, in order to get information about important people from a kingdom, the spies needed to approach these important people directly. Therefore, building a luxurious entertainment place that became a favorite place especially by young royals was definitely one of the best choices.

Arriving at the place, Alu walked around to the back.

And when Alu arrived at the back of the entertainment venue, someone already came to greet him.

It was a woman who looked to be in her thirties with a seductive smile on her face. With long blonde hair that was slightly curled, she was definitely one woman who could make a man fall with just her beauty.

"Greetings, Your Highness the Prince, the King has just sent a message that you may come to my place. My name is Vita." The woman smiled kindly at Alu while introducing herself. Her eyes flickered several times at Alu.

But Alu still wore an indifferent expression. He only glanced at the woman named Vita briefly before walking through the door without saying a word.

"The prince is indeed what many rumors say. He was very cold and indifferent. He's not even interested in me." Vita said in her heart when she saw Alu's back

In this place, she could be said to be the queen. Not to mention the young aristocrats, even the old aristocrats, many fell under her temptation.

She never thought that this young Alu could actually ignore her so easily. At his age, usually men are very curious about women.

As an expert, she could tell that Alu wasn't faking it. He really had no interest in her.

"But a man like that is much more attractive. That hypocrite king can't take an inch from him." He said again before following behind Alu.

Alu walked through a dark passageway before he arrived at a hidden room protected by a protective formation.

Apart from the official members, no one could enter the room. Alu is of course the only exception. There was no obstacle when he went inside.

Alu slightly narrowed his eyes when he arrived at the room. It was because he found several beautiful women in the room.

When Alu arrived there, all the women looked at him with curious eyes.

Vita who knew Alu's personality quickly walked forward. "Sorry Your Highness, the girls heard of you and they came here out of curiosity." Said Vita.

Vita then looked at the girls while wagging her palm.

"Hurry, hurry, get back to work."

Even though Vita spoke in a gentle tone, the girls still quickly left the room.

But while leaving, they didn't take their eyes off Alu. They even whispered with words that made Alu narrow his eyes once again.

"Sorry Your Highness, because of their work, they are used to saying vulgar words." Vita once again apologized.

Alu remained unresponsive to Vita while he turned his gaze towards the spiritual screens showing each location in the entertainment venue. Even private rooms are no exception.

Even though the screen showed many vulgar scenes, Alu still didn't react when he saw that.

"Give me information about the young nobles in this city." Alu then spoke after a moment of staring at the screen.

Vita, who had been waiting for Alu to speak, quickly picked up several piles of papers containing many notes and pictures of young people.

"This Your Highness, this is information for young nobles who have ties to the royal family and have the right to participate in the hunting party." Said Vita while handing over a pile of papers.

After taking the pile of papers from Vita, Alu then sat on one of the chairs before he read the notes one by one while Vita walked to his back side.
