Chapter 506 Unparalleled Elegance
Chapter 506 Unparalleled Elegance
Jonathan left Moon Shadow Palace, now galloping on the sea surface, feeling much more at ease. His state of mind in Moranta was vastly different from when he was in the main world. In the main world, he didn't have such an advantage, so he had to work particularly hard. Sometimes, no matter how desperately he tried, the gap between him, Ignatius, and Tristan remained a vast chasm.
This was a very frustrating fact to him.
Some young people graduated and left their hometown to work in bustling cities. They experienced hardships and tasted the bitterness of life. Every day, they spent four hours commuting on crowded buses, slept in low-rent rooms at night, and ate cheap meals. Their monthly salary was barely enough to make ends meet.
Were days like these not tough? Of course, they were!
But they were not afraid of such hard times. What they fear was that no matter how hard they tried, they still couldn't afford to buy a house in the city in the end. What they feared was that no matter how hard they tried, they would have to return to their hometown in the end, feeling dejected and with nothing to show for their efforts. What they fear was that no matter how hard they tried, and how much hardship they endured, they were still not as good as those who were born with better family backgrounds. They were born with privileges, without the need to worry about the future, and could have luxury cars and beautiful women around them.
This was the disparity between people and the injustice of the world!
What they truly feared the most was the absence of hope and the inability to see hope.
Sometimes, Jonathan enjoyed being in Moranta, because he had a natural advantage in this place. He was someone who had gotten his hands on a golden goose, knowing that one day he would inevitably become the supreme powerhouse of Moranta!
I need to find a place to rest first, then sort out my chaotic energy. Also, I need to conduct a series of training for Poppet Doll! Jonathan flew aimlessly while making plans in his mind.
Furthermore, I must have a magic item bound to me. In Moranta, magic items are of utmost importance. The reason why Lynn is invincible is because she possesses an endless array of magic items. Jonathan pondered. However, finding a magic item that can rival those of Narma and Lynn is incredibly difficult to come by. Unless...
At this moment, Jonathan thought of the legendary Pollerton Tomb!
Legend had it, Pollerton Tomb was located within Dead Sea. This tomb was the final resting place of countless great mystics, and it would surely contain numerous god-defying treasures. As long as I can find this place, I will be able to stand against Theos.
But... Jonathan sighed, knowing full well that this was nothing more than a pipe dream. In the Pollerton region, who wouldn't want to find Pollerton Tomb? Yet, after all these years, no one had found it. How could he possibly find it in a short amount of time?
But who knows, right!
D*mn, I'm the Chosen One! Isn't being the chosen one all about being unique?
Right now, this was the only way he could console himself.
Just then, a crisp and pleasant female voice came from behind. "Mr. Lawson!"
Upon hearing this voice, Jonathan felt a wave of weakness wash over him. D*mn, he simply couldn't resist the call of such traditional women. It was so easy to make one feel as if the good old days of having multiple wives and concubines had returned, wasn't it?
Jonathan knew that anyone who could call out the name "Mr. Lawson" was most likely from Moon Shadow Palace. However, this voice did not belong to any of the four women. Immediately, he turned around and saw a white figure rapidly approaching from a hundred meters away. In the blink of an eye, it had already reached him.
So, Jonathan was able to clearly see who it was.
This woman was dressed in white palace attire, exuding an air of elegance. She appeared to be in her thirties.
It was not that she looked old, but her demeanor simply didn't match that of a young girl. Moreover, this woman's beauty was incredibly stunning and breathtaking. Upon laying his eyes on her, Jonathan felt a sense of admiration welling up within him. However, this admiration was only for appreciation from a distance, not for any frivolous thought.
This woman possessed a different aura from Lynn. The female deity had an unapproachable authority within her beauty, a kind of loftiness that was beyond reach.
But this woman was different, her demeanor was more like an aristocratic lady.
Such a woman, with her beautiful appearance, mature mind, and captivating figure, was indeed the dream lover that both young and middle-aged men yearn for in their dreams.
It was as if time itself could not leave any trace on them!
"Palace leader?" Jonathan immediately felt that this woman must be the palace leader of Moon Shadow Palace. So he called out as soon as he spoke.
The white-robed lady was slightly taken aback. Her lips parted gently as she spoke with a hint of surprise, "Mr. Lawson, it seems we've never met before. How do you know who I am?"
Jonathan was a guy who tended to become quite the smooth talker around beautiful women. With a slight smile, he said, "With such elegance and beauty, you could only be the palace leader. It's impossible for you to be anyone else."
The white-robed lady flashed a charming smile. This smile was truly captivating, enough to melt one to the bones. She said, "Aren't all palace leaders supposed to be old and ugly women?"
With a smile, Jonathan said, "That is definitely your good self, for you are the most beautiful palace leader I have ever seen in my life!"
The white-robed lady burst into a fit of laughter, her body shaking like a blooming flower in the breeze. She said, "I heard from Esmeray and the others that Mr. Lawson is a refined gentleman, a young hero. Who would have thought that Mr. Lawson could also be so slick with your words?"
Jonathan said, "What young hero am I? At most, I'm just a hero."
"Haha..." the white-robed lady laughed even more joyfully. Truly, she had never met anyone who could speak with such wit.
Consider this, most of the inhabitants of Pollerton were old mages. Even the younger generation had grown up in such an environment, where everyone was engaged in schemes, ruthlessly killing for treasures.
Few people had a personality like Jonathan's.
Jokes aside, Jonathan immediately got to the point. He knew that Moon Shadow Palace's palace leader wouldn't seek him out without reason. In a teasing tone, Jonathan asked, "Did the palace master come all this way to find me just to get Polychromatic Mirror back?"
The white-robed lady then became solemn, she said, "I must confess to you, Mr. Lawson, the Polychromatic Mirror was taken away by Esmeray without my knowledge. I was in a critical stage of my training, which was how this incident occurred. I am here indeed to ask you to return the mirror, I hope you can forgive me. Polychromatic Mirror is extremely important to me and Moon Shadow Palace!"
Jonathan was dumbfounded. D*mn, I was just talking nonsense, and you really came to ask for the mirror?
He really had never seen such things before!
Good heavens, do you understand social etiquette at all? Can you really take back something you've given away?
At this moment, Jonathan truly felt as if he was having a rough day. He carefully looked at the white- robed lady, confirming that she was not joking. Immediately, he forced a smile and said, "It's okay. Esmeray told me that you, the palace leader, gave it to me. I didn't expect Esmeray to lie to me. I apologize." After he finished speaking, he took out Polychromatic Mirror from his sleeve and handed it back to the white-robed lady.
Surprise flashed in the depths of the white-robed lady's eyes as she took Polychromatic Mirror and instantly stored it in her storage ring. Then, she said, "As far as I know, you have offended two supreme beings and danger is imminent. Polychromatic Mirror could have been your lifeline. Are you truly willing to give it back to me?"
With a bitter smile, Jonathan said, "This was never mine to begin with. If the palace leader wants it back, how could I have the audacity to not return it?"
The white-robed lady said, "But this is a matter of life and death for you. If you insist on not returning it and choose to run away, I won't be able to stop you!"
Jonathan was not in the best of moods. If he had been in the mood for jokes before, he certainly wasn't now. He spoke directly, "If the palace leader has no other matters, I will take my leave." Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
He turned to leave, his heart still somewhat discontented!
"Wait a moment, Mr. Lawson!" said the white-robed lady.
A jolt went through Jonathan's heart. Oh no, could the palace leader be testing me? A spark of hope immediately ignited within him.
At that moment, Jonathan maintained his composure, asking, "Does the palace leader have any other matters to attend to?"
The white-robed lady gave a charming smile, then took out Polychromatic Mirror. She said, "I was merely joking with you earlier, Mr. Lawson. I hope you're not upset with me."
A surge of elation washed over Jonathan as he accepted the Polychromatic Mirror, saying, "This mirror is indeed a matter of life and death for me, so I won't stand on ceremony." He paused, then added, "If the palace leader asks for it again, I'm afraid I won't be able to return it."
The white-robed lady declared, "Never again!"
Right away, Jonathan carefully tucked away the mirror.
With Polychromatic Mirror in his possession, Jonathan could finally be at ease. At the same time, he had already activated the mirror to hide from prying eyes!
Then, Jonathan asked, "May I know how do I address you?"
The white-robed lady said, "My name is Rhiannon Lome. It seems I am older than you. You can call me Ms. Rhiannon."
Jonathan chuckled, saying, "You clearly look younger to me, how could you be older than me? I think I'll call you Rhiannon"
His mood had improved considerably by now. Then he added, "Surely, the palace leader didn't come to find me just to make this joke, right?"
Even though he was quite a smooth talker, he still felt shy to actually call Rhiannon by her first name.
Rhiannon then said, "I indeed came to see you because I have something important. However, I can't reveal it now. I will be able to tell you in three days."
Jonathan was slightly puzzled, asking, "But why is that?"
Rhiannon said, "In any case, I have something that requires your help, but not until three days from now. At the moment, I don't have much to do. How about we travel together, what do you think?"
Jonathan's heart skipped a beat. Deep down, he was still fond of beautiful women. Especially a woman like Rhiannon, she was simply irresistible. He said, "It would be my honor and good fortune to accompany the palace leader. However, I'm currently in a bit of a bind, and I'm afraid you might get involved in the trouble too!"
Rhiannon gave a charming smile, a smile so captivating it could make one lost in her beauty. She said, "Do you think I'm the type to shy away from trouble? Rest assured, if you really run into trouble, perhaps I can help you. But you have to promise me, you must help me in return three days from now."
Jonathan nodded, saying, "Alright. I'll definitely help as long as it's within my capabilities."
Rhiannon said, "Then it's settled between us."
A sense of curiosity welled up in Jonathan's heart. What exactly does she need my help with?
