After passing through security, the veiled woman arrived at an open space, seemingly waiting for something.
Behind the woman followed two attendants, who looked around warily.
At this moment, the veiled woman looked up to her right and saw Su Lan and Serafina approaching her.
At this moment, Su Lan is showing her original appearance.
To avoid causing unnecessary trouble, Serafina has been using cognitive barrier magic.
Unless someone is familiar with her or takes the initiative, no one can see her true appearance.
From an outsider's perspective, Serafina appears to be an ordinary-looking young woman with an average figure.
Asharuya saw Su Lan stop about five meters away from her. She took a deep look at Su Lan's handsome face before turning her gaze away to avoid any misunderstanding.
As one of the candidates for goddess of the Parthenon, Asha's origins and background are both very noble and mysterious.
She has lived a life of luxury since childhood and has seen a great deal of the world.
She has met many high-ranking officials and nobles over the years, as well as handsome young men with good looks and charisma, but none of them can compare to the man five meters away.
In the eyes of women, Su Lan is a walking male succubus.
No sweet words are needed; Su Lan's beauty is the ultimate allure.
Even Asha's mother was slightly stunned just now.
If I hadn't known that I had a mission and purpose in coming to the ancient capital, I probably would have already gone over and struck up a conversation.
Just then, a gentle breeze blew in, and the strange smell that had drifted in from outside the ancient capital quickly dissipated without a trace under the rising sun.
"Sorry, sorry, something came up and we were held up!"
Two men, one tall and one short, squeezed through the crowd and jogged to a spot two or three meters in front of Asha's.
"Now that everyone is here, let's set off."
The short man's gaze swept over Asha's two companions and Su Lan's companion, and after confirming the number of people, he began to call them to prepare to set off.
Asharuya originally thought that Su Lan and the other person were just waiting for someone here, but she didn't expect that they had actually hired the same guide to go out to the ancient capital.
"Are there other people traveling with us besides us? Aren't we the only ones?"
One of Asha's attendants, who was standing behind Asha's, stepped forward to negotiate. He had originally thought that he and his two companions were the only ones traveling with her.
The short man gave the man in front of him a strange look: "Who told you it was just you two? We never said it was just you two!"
Given the current situation in the ancient capital, now is the perfect time to seize the opportunity and make big money.
You should know that each person's travel expenses are ten million.
Without Su Lan and the other person, they would lose 20 million in revenue.
God knows when I'll be able to make this much money in one go again!
"Fine, let's leave it at that."
The male attendant was about to argue when Asha's somewhat indifferent voice came from behind him. He immediately responded and returned to the group.
The short man quickly glanced at the veiled woman in front of him, feeling a chill run down his spine.
This woman was clearly someone of extraordinary background, and he wondered if he had kicked a hornet's nest this time.
However, this is the current market price in the ancient capital; it would be a death sentence for him to earn less.
After calming himself down a bit, the shorter man immediately called to the stronger man that they should set off.
Asha and her two companions followed closely behind.
At the very back were Su Lan and her companion.
Throughout the entire process, neither Su Lan nor Serafina spoke, letting things unfold as they pleased.
Since it was a rare opportunity to meet this little fox, Asha Ruya, Su Lan naturally wanted to get to know her beforehand.
Of course, getting to know and become familiar with them is just a side effect.
The key point is the secret of Asha's body.
As the adopted daughter of Ventai, the former Great Sage of the Parthenon, Asharuya received great favors from him both before and after his death.
After Ventai's death, Asha'ruya, as Ventai's adopted daughter, was supported by all the powerful families, ordinary mages, and common people who were on good terms with the Parthenon Temple.
She doesn't need to manage anything herself; at her current age, she automatically becomes one of the candidates for the Parthenon goddess.
It should be noted that every woman who became a candidate for goddess of the Parthenon had an extraordinary background, and the forces behind them paid a great price to obtain the position.
Asha's Riya, however, does not need to actively manage it.
Some of those who once supported Wen Tai transferred their respect for him to Asha Ruya after his death.
Azharia was pushed to become a candidate for goddess of the Parthenon.
Even though this seat is not what she wants right now.
But with public opinion overwhelming her, she had no choice but to accept it.
Of course, this process was not smooth sailing; it also concealed little-known hardships and scheming.
In addition to receiving many of the legacy left by the great sage Ventai, Azharia also inherited the power that Ventai passed down after his death.
How can the dead give strength to others?
That's obviously another kind of fake death!
Wen Tai was "killed" by the Supreme Monarch-level dark creature, Hai La, and his body was pulled into the Dark Dimension, where he was eventually resurrected as the Dark King.
Azhariya, in a sense, is one of the Dark Lord Ventae's walks on Earth.
So don't be fooled by the fact that Asharuya is only a mid-level mage; in reality, the power she can unleash should reach the super-level.
Of course, borrowing this power is not without cost, but the cost is less than that of ordinary people.
As Su Lan walked out of the ancient capital, the two super-level mages who were ostensibly guarding it naturally saw her leaving the city.
As high-level mages, they naturally knew that Su Lan's identity was extraordinary.
Without hesitation, the two individuals, belonging to the Clock Tower Magic Association and the Guard District respectively, could only report to their superiors.
After all, they had been instructed to report to their superiors immediately if Su Lan left the city.
Soon, Han Ji, the president of the Clock Tower Magic Association, received the news.
"Sigh, what is this little rascal doing out of the city at this time?"
Han Ji scratched his head, looking somewhat helpless.
As a top-tier mage and an important member of the Shao Zheng faction, he naturally learned many secrets from the Grand Speaker.
One of them is about Su Lan.
It can be said that even while initiating a semi-combat readiness state in the ancient capital, Shao Zheng was still able to review files in his office and focus on developing supplementary plans for the coastline defense.
A big reason for this is that Su Lan is in the ancient capital.
Su Lan's existence is important, but the woman beside Su Lan is even more important.
With Su Lan and Ms. Serafina present, it means that even if the ancient capital faces an attack from the ancient king, it can hold out until Grand Speaker Shao Zheng and Hua Zhanhong arrive.
Now that Su Lan wants to go out, he can't stop her, nor does he dare to.
After all, this little darling is one of the greatest safeguards of the ancient capital.
He could only pray that Su Lan would return quickly when the crisis in the ancient capital broke out.
That's right.
Han Ji no longer harbors any unrealistic illusions about the outbreak of a crisis in the ancient capital.
The catastrophe in the ancient capital was inevitable.
He didn't discover this information through clues, but rather it was conveyed to him by Speaker Shao Zheng, who was thousands of miles away, through special means.
