“Hahahaha…” Agatha is very happy now. “Rowen, kill these guys, ha ha ha, dare to bully me, just to show you how sharp my husband is…”
Agatha could, of course, see what is going on through the screen, and she is so excited to see how powerful the iron beast is as if she were doing it herself.
There is an involuntary smile on Rederot’s face. Rederot can be seen as a teacher of Agatha. Rederot has helped Agatha greatly on her road to becoming the warrior, but her talent is so great that now Rederot has nothing to teach her.
Nevertheless, Rederot still has a very special feeling with Agatha, and in his mind’s eye, Agatha is like his own daughter, and also because of this, Patriarch Philip lets Rederot to protect Agatha, because Patriarch Philip is clear that Rederot will do his utmost to protect Agatha, even at the cost of his own life.
But Rederot is not satisfied with Rowen, and he thinks Agatha should find a husband who can perfectly match her. A warrior should be better, but he didn’t think Agatha would eventually choose Rowen. That little boy is said to be only a level-1 summoner. Yes, in Rederot’s opinion, Rowen is only 16 years old, and he hasn’t grown up.
But it is this little boy who is bringing him more and more surprises, though he doesn’t yet think Rowen is good enough for Agatha. In fact, in Rederot’s mind’s eye, Agatha is always the best, so no one could match her, but now Rederot has decided that Agatha is right to choose Rowen, at least Rowen is better than the other ten.
Rowen pulls the lever back a little, and the increasing speed gives him the feeling that the iron armored beast is about to get out of control. He knows he has to control it.
Soldiers in front are now taking the initiative to retreat, and someone tries to stop that huge iron beast before finding it impossible to stop it. And they don’t want to die, either, and thus it makes the iron armored beast become more and more smooth. A few seconds later, Rowen finds himself out of the encirclement.
Having quickly identified the terrain ahead, Rowen turns the armored beast, darting out onto the road, and continues on his way.
“Rowen, they’re still after it!” Says Agatha, a little eagerly.
“I see, don’t make so much noise!” Rowen is a little annoyed, and the lady’s chirping makes it difficult for him to concentrate.
“The energy gun is activated!”
“Free aiming mode active!”
As Rowen works, the voice of the iron armored beast rings out just at the right moment, startling Agatha. “Who’s talking?”
“Bang, bang, bang!” Energy gun aiming at the target ejects a series of shooting. Since there are so many people chasing after them, they have no need to aim. They can randomly hit a few. There’s scream again, and the pace of the chasing soldiers suddenly slow up.
After a few minutes of running when they can no longer see the chasing soldiers, Rowen lets out a long sigh and slows down a bit. The cart has been destroyed, and he decides to use the iron beast as a means of transport for the time being, and tries to be far away from Vaga city.
Darkness falls quietly, and about half an hour later Rowen stops the iron armored beast when he find a small town a few hundred metres ahead on the screen.
“Agatha, uncle Rederot, you go out first.” Rowen opens the door of the iron armored beast with a hint of fatigue in his voice. He feels a little tired for controlling the armored beast for so long .
“Well!” Agatha follows his words this time, and quickly leaves the iron armored beast.
When they are both out, Rowen turns the iron beast back into a bracelet, but his legs give way and he nearly falls over when he is about to move forward.
“Look out!” Agatha quickly holds him up, and asks with some concern, “are you all right?”
“Nothing.” Rowen runs hurriedly a circle of the breath of the sun and the moon, making his body soften slightly, “Let’s go to town first, find a place to stay, I need a rest.”
“Well, you may have been with summoner for too long. I’ve heard that summoner can’t be with summoning beast for too long. Here, I’ll help you!” Agatha is gentle now, a little more than Rowen has expected.
“No, I can walk by myself. It’s ok.” Rowen shakes his head. Though his legs are a little limp and he is sore all over his body, he isn’t completely unable to walk.
“All right, then.” Agatha, who has been walking side by side with Rowen, seems afraid that he might fall, but with Rowen’s persistence, she doesn’t not continue to offer help.
A moment later, Rederot is surprised. “This is Arizona?” he says.
“Uncle Rederot, what’s wrong with Arizona?” Agatha is puzzled. She knows some of the great cities of the empire, but she does not know any of them very well. As for this Arizona town, she hasn’t even heard its name.
“No, Arizona is just a normal town, only…” Rederot can’t help looking at Rowen. “Arizona is a hundred kilometers away from Vaga, and I’ve get a rough estimate that it takes us less than half an hour to get here, and it’s so fast.”
“Wow, Rowen, your summoning beast is running so fast!” Exclaims Agatha.
“It’s not his fastest time,” says Rowen casually. He remembers that the iron beast said that its top speed is two thousand kilometres per hour, and now, it’s only two hundred kilometres per hour, and it is a tenth of its top speed.
“Oh?” Cries Agatha, with some exaggeration. “Isn’t that the fastest? How fast can it go?”
“I’m not sure.” Rowen shakes his head. “It’ll be faster anyway.”
“Then we might as well not buy a carriage tomorrow, just let it take us to the empire city!” Suggests Agatha, a little excited.
“No, it can not be taken as a rider.” “I just had no other choice, and I don’t want to draw a lot of attention when this big guy’s running down the road.”
“Oh, also reasonable, I’ll listen to you then.” Agatha is a little disappointed, but still a little excited. “Then we will not be afraid of being chased!”
“Do you like being chased every day?” Rowen snaps.
“I just thought it is fun!” Says Agatha, smiling.
Rowen is speechless for a moment. Funny? He doesn’t really find it funny.
But he isn’t interested in arguing with her, either; they have arrived at the town by the time they talk, and there is a hotel just ahead of them, so Rowen goes straight into it.
There are two rooms, one for Agatha and him, and the other for Rederot, and Rowen doesn’t mind this arrangement, because he hardly sleeps at night.
The moment Rowen enters the room, he sits down and begin to work on the sun and the moon, and as the cycle of the sun and the moon begins to circulate, his exhaustion begins to wear off, but a surge of hunger follows, and Rowen remembers that they haven’t eaten since noon.
There is a slight gasp, and Rowen opens his eyes to find Agatha looking at him strangely.
“Were you meditating? Why doesn’t it look a little different?” Says Agatha, seeing him rise.
“Have you eaten yet?” Rowen does not answer her question, but merely puts forward a rhetorical question.
“Not yet. Food will be here soon.” Agatha touches her belly, and immediately turns her attention to her meal. “well, I’m hungry too!’
When the meal finally arrives a few minutes later, Rowen gobs it up, and Agatha eats it with no ladylike manners at all, and Rowen notices that the eldest of the Ryan looks more and more like a tomboy.
It is a quiet night, Rowen and Agatha are alone in the room, but nothing has happened. In fact, they are both practicing this evening, Rowen is practicing his the Sun and Moon Mind Method, and Agatha is practicing her Dou Qi.
