Anger flowed through Karl’s eyes. Raising a finger, he shouted, “Bullsh*t! Frost, you knew Carter was my only son. You knew the Barbarian Chief was a god-like warrior but you still sent my poor son and his troops to confront him. On that night, Carter’s head, pierced by a long halberd, was sent back to me! Was this what you wanted? I know that you and Luo Lin both plotted for this this. Both of you were jealous of Carter’s skill, jealous of his talent, being able to become a warrior by the age of 17!
Frost inhaled deeply but did not reply. Instead, kneeling on one knee, she faced him saying “Karl, I understand the feeling of losing Carter but the mission had to go on. This was Luo Lin’s order. Carter’s group defended against the Barbarian’s frontal attack. Only then were we able to ambush them during the night and kill the Barbarians over a huge area. Please believe me, that Emperor Luo Lin’s doings are for the good of Dragon City, and not for his personal gain!”
Karl shouted furiously: “Bullsh*t! You guys meant to ruin Carter’s life. I can never forget Carl’s expression before he died!”
“Clang!”
Frost lifted her hand. Behind her a sword rose high into the air rushing at her white neck. Frost looked at Karl and said indifferently: “If it needs to be paid with my life. I will gladly give my life for the King. Karl, after I die, I wish for you to be able to forget your hatred. Do not live a life filled only with hate.
“You !!” Karl’s face flushed red, not knowing what else to say.
I hastily walked forwards, grabbing Frost’s sword by the handle. A sudden breeze of cold flowed through my arm. This wasn’t an ordinary sword! Holding the sword tightly, I prevented the sword from cutting through her skin. I said with a deep tone, “Frost. You were under an order. You shouldn’t waste your life on such a small matter. Didn’t you say I am one of your own? If you die here and now, who will I be relying on in Dragon City?
Frost lifted her head and looked at me stupidly: “I…… sorry……”
……
Seeing all this, Karl suddenly let out a smirk: “Hmph, then it would be better this way……”
Frost looked distantly: “How?”
Karl swept a glance at me, saying: “Since he is one of your men then let him replace you in this. Let this boy venture into the depths of the Dragon’s Tomb and accept his destiny! If he lives, then I, Karl, will never bring this issue up again. If he dies in there, I will similarly bury this matter and take it that this boy has accompanied Carter in death. How about it?”
“Out of the question!”
Alarmed, Frost’s pretty eyes revealed a hint of anger: “Karl, you’re too despicable. How can you let him, who is so young, take such a risk? Don’t forget, he is your disciple……”
“Hmph!……” Karl let out a sneer, “At that time, Carter was also that young when he left me. This boy is not my disciple. In my entire life, I’ve only had Carter as my disciple!”
……
I started and immediately a system notification bell sounded–
“Ding!”
System Notification: Please take note: you have been expelled by your mentor. You have lost the name, Tomb Guardian of Dragon City!
……
“What..”
I groaned as I stood there stiffly saying, “Then from now on who will be my mentor? I… what should I do?”
Behind me, Frost’s faint voice drifted over: “Don’t worry. Should you really be able to return alive from the depths of this dragon tomb then your mentor will be me. You will study under me……”
