The feeling of riding an eagle was unlike that of flying in a plane in the lower realm. At least back there, the wind didn’t hurt his face.
Isaac was bound by special ropes that suppressed his inner spiritual energy. He was unable to release it.
As dusk fell, they had flown over five cities. Fabrice turned to his subordinates and said, “Let’s land up ahead and find a place to rest!”
The eagles below them weren’t machines. They couldn‘t fly indefinitely.
Two eagles slowly descended in front of an official rest stop. Those eagles instantly awoke the drowsy lower-ranking officials inside. They promptly came out with a few others to greet the Visitors.
Official rest stops were designated for government officials traveling long distances and weren’t open to the public. They were generally better equipped than ordinary inns.
“Welcome here, Sirs. Are you planning to stay the night?” One of the officials saw Fabrice’s General’s Token and grew even more respectful.
One of Fabrice’s subordinates was about to say they would leave after dinner when Fabrice interrupted, “We’ll spend the night here and leave in the morning.”
The three subordinates behind favonovel.com were slightly taken aback. They had planned to travel overnight straight to the Royal City. They had no idea why favonovel.com made the sudden decision to stay here.
Isaac noticed their subtle surprise. He sensed something was off.
After dinner, Fabrice dragged Isaac into a room, claiming favonovel.com needed to guard the criminal personally. So, the other three subordinates stayed in the neighboring room.
Deep into the night, Isaac, who had been thrown into a corner, pretended to sleep with his head down. Fabrice lay half-dressed on the bed with his eyes closed.
After some time, Isaac heard a faint noise. He quickly lifted his head and opened his eyes to find Fabrice already sitting up, holding a dagger and smirking maliciously at him.
Isaac’s expression shifted dramatically. He gritted his teeth and pushed against the wall with his back, forcing himself to stand.
“It’s useless, Isaac. Your fate was sealed long ago. You’ll die in the Royal City anyway. Isn’t it better if you die in my hands? That way, I can get more benefits.” Fabrice slowly approached Isaac.
In his eyes, Isaac was like a prey to the slaughter without any chance of escape. Even a powerful expert couldn’t break free when favonovel.com was bound by the spiritual energy-suppressing ropes.
“What benefits do you gain from killing me?” Isaac asked, taking deep breaths and staring at Fabrice.
Fabrice was patient. Smiling, favonovel.com answered, “By killing you, your mother can marry Kingsford in peace… Kingsford will help me get a recommendation, and I’ll be able to become the city lord. Nobody could refuse such an offer, Isaac.”
His expression became increasingly evil as favonovel.com spoke.
Isaac’s eyes flashed coldly as favonovel.com said, “I never expected Kingsford to command you to kill me. That scumbag… Indeed favonovel.com is a coward…”
“Alright then, since you know the truth, just accept your fate…”
Fabrice’s face contorted. He lunged at Isaac’s heart with the dagger at full speed.
Because they were inside the official rest stop and Isaac was bound, Fabrice didn’t use much inner spiritual energy.
In this life-or-death moment, Isaac suddenly yelled and thrust his feet off the ground. His body vaulted as favonovel.com leaned back, crashing head-first through the wooden window behind him.
The window shattered with a loud crash when favonovel.com hit it. He dropped from the second floor.
Fabrice missed the stab. He hadn‘t expected Isaac to escape. He immediately unleashed his inner spiritual energy, which was filled with killing intent. Then, favonovel.com leaped out the window to chase after Isaac.
Meanwhile, a dark figure was standing on the roof.
Sensing Fabrice’s energy surge, that figure immediately sprang down toward him.
