Lord of the Sky City

Chapter 380: Chapter 351: The Storm Arrives!

As he received the envelope from Liliya, Rocky furrowed his brow, involuntarily thinking of the last time.

When he opened the envelope and saw its contents, he found the letter was indeed written by Cyril again.

“It’s from Cyril again?”

Knowing Rocky well, Liliya could almost guess who had written the letter from the expression on his face.

“Yes.”

“What did she write?”

“See for yourself.”

Nodding, Rocky handed the envelope to Liliya and sat down, his brow slightly furrowed.

“She wants to see you?”

It didn’t take long for Liliya to finish reading the content of the letter, and a look of puzzlement appeared on her face.

The letter wasn’t lengthy, containing just a few lines. Essentially, it merely stated that Cyril hoped Rocky could reach a certain coordinate before April 25, where she would be waiting for him.

Such a terse letter puzzled Rocky, as he couldn’t understand why Cyril suddenly wanted to see him.

“Could it be related to the Mairente Family?”

Sitting next to Rocky, Liliya speculated.

In her view, since almost all interactions between Cyril and Rocky had revolved around the Mairente Family, her wanting to meet him this time likely had something to do with them.

“Probably not, right?”

But hearing this, Rocky shook his head then looked at Liliya, “When I joined the Alliance, they had already clearly punished and warned the Mairente Family. Even if they hate me, they wouldn’t risk infuriating the Sky Alliance just to keep troubling me, right?”

Being unaware of the series of events within the family after joining the Alliance, Rocky always believed that his feud with the Mairente Family ended with his alliance membership. Why would they risk a fallout with the Sky Alliance to target him further?

In this case, he always felt that his disputes with the Mairente Family were already resolved.

However, though he felt this way, Cyril’s letter made him somewhat uncertain now.

Because, as Liliya thought, all his interactions with Cyril had been about the Mairente Family, and now that Cyril had contacted him again, much as he didn’t want to, he had to consider that possibility.

So after shaking his head, he glanced at Liliya, “Let’s not speculate anymore; we’ll just meet her when it’s time.”

“Today is April 20, we have five days to reach the coordinates, and then we’ll know exactly what Cyril intends to do.”

“But don’t be careless, even though Cyril has helped us before, we still need to be cautious…”

“I know.” Nodding, Rocky said, “Inform Te Nong to be extra vigilant during our absence, and make sure nothing goes awry. Also, call back both the first and second fleets to the city.”

“Alright.”

With an agreement, Liliya left the laboratory.

After she had left, Rocky thought for a while and then picked up the envelope again to take another look, the more he read, the more furrowed his brow became!

Liliya had continuously been concerned about why Cyril wanted this from him, which was indeed the biggest question, but through the brief content of this letter, Rocky noticed another matter, a matter that was extremely easy to overlook yet extremely important.

How did Cyril know he was near Skybreaker Peak?

This time Cyril had arranged to meet Rocky and left a complete set of coordinates, meaning she wanted Rocky to meet her there, and the location of these coordinates was right near Skybreaker Peak. This made Rocky wonder, how did Cyril know of his whereabouts? And why would she investigate where he was?

Another point also struck Rocky as odd, and that was the time Cyril had set, April 25th, why insist on him arriving on this particular date? Did this day hold any special significance?

All these questions not only puzzled him but also gave him a most ominous feeling, making him vaguely realize that this meeting between the two would definitely not be a simple chat. There might be another big mess brewing!

Although Rocky still knew nothing up to this point, he had been the City Lord for a while now, and he had experienced quite a few big and small events during this time, which naturally honed his keen senses.

In such a circumstance, he did everything possible to prepare, on one hand, he notified the Alliance Army, asking them to defend Backhill Village well during his absence, on the other hand, he recalled the entire fleet of Thunderhawk City. Although he did not believe that Cyril had set a trap, Rocky still wanted to be fully prepared, just in case something unexpected happened and he found himself in dire straits.

By the next day, Thunderhawk City had activated its flight mode and slowly flew towards the coordinates specified by Cyril.

Since he had departed the day after receiving the letter, and also because the coordinates left by Cyril were not far from Skybreaker Peak, Rocky activated Thunderhawk City’s flight mode on the 21st, and by the 24th, he had already arrived at the coordinates.

The meeting place designated by Cyril was nothing special. Since it was near Skybreaker Peak, the land was desolate with nothing in sight, and not a single cloud in the sky, which was blue like a vast mirror.

Upon arriving in such an area, Rocky dispatched all reconnaissance ships, but they found nothing.

This meant he could only wait there for a day until the next day, which was the 25th of April, the date agreed with Cyril, when the dispatched reconnaissance ships finally brought back news.

The reconnaissance ships discovered a medium-sized Sky City slowly approaching Thunderhawk City.

“A medium-sized Sky City?”

Hearing this news, Rocky was stunned and then muttered to himself, “Could it be that Cyril has brought her own Sky City here?”

According to his knowledge, as a Clan Leader’s daughter and a city lord herself, Cyril also owned her own Sky City, which was exactly a medium-sized Sky City.

While Rocky was still unclear about what exactly Cyril wanted to do, Cyril took the initiative and came to Thunderhawk City!

Around noon, Cyril slowly landed at the Skyport of Thunderhawk City aboard a warship and met Rocky, who had been waiting for a long time.

“Haven’t you heard yet?”

Upon seeing Rocky, the first thing Cyril said left him baffled.

“Heard what?”@@novelbin@@

“You will know soon.”

Sighing helplessly, Cyril showed no intention of explaining and said nothing more as she got into the carriage prepared by Rocky…

PS: There’s only one update today as I’m taking a day off. Please be understanding, let the Little Detective rest a bit.
