A Wizard's Secret Chapter 974 – The White Rajah 4

On a small, winding road, two carriages were slowly moving along the path.

In the carriage, there was a young lady with a coiled braid, along with two tall, muscular men flanking her. They seemed to be protecting her.

Other than these three, two others wore black robes, appearing to exude a sinister force.

“Leon, why don’t you speak?”

The opposite young woman asked, mystified, as she blinked her large, pretty eyes.

These two black-robed men were Merlin and Cerberus. Merlin was relatively taciturn in the first place. In addition, Cerberus by his side was even gloomier, a strange grin stretching the corners of his mouth. One would feel that he was harboring malicious intentions.

Therefore, the lady and her two companions seemed to be on guard against Merlin and Cerberus.

Leon forced a smile and asked, “Ririya, where are you heading to?”

This young woman was named Ririya. She looked very lively.

They had met halfway on their journey and it was Ririya who had invited Merlin and the rest onto the carriage. However, after boarding the carriage, Merlin still did not know where Ririya was going, only sensing that Ririya’s identity was not as easy as it seemed. The two men by her side were some sort of bodyguards. They were extremely opposed to Ririya inviting Merlin and the rest but Ririya who was restless and enthusiastic by nature had paid no mind to their objections, inviting Merlin and the rest on board.

Both of these men had immense strength. They must be at least third-form shifters or higher, perhaps even fourth-form shifters.

As Cerberus stared at the sensual, beautiful Ririya, a lewd, nefarious glint occasionally flashed in his eyes. Cerberus had always been rapacious and lascivious. Who knew how many women he had wronged before?

If it were not for Merlin’s suppression, Ririya would have been in danger. Even if she had her bodyguards’ protection, to an elite member of the Combat Team like Cerberus, they could not even be called a threat.

“I’m heading to White Rajah City. What about you?”

Ririya did not seem to be up to anything as she spoke plainly.

“Miss, Sir has asked you to be more cautious when you’re outside.”

The two bodyguards saw that Ririya was not on her guard at all and revealed helpless expressions. This was not the first time she had acted this way but they still had to gently remind Ririya that this was the incomparably chaotic outside world.

“I’ve got it. Leon, where are you heading to?”

A strange look crossed Merlin’s eyes and he smiled. “What a coincidence. We’re heading to White Rajah City as well.”

Upon hearing that Merlin was going to White Rajah City too, the two bodyguards tensed up, their sharp gazes piercing Merlin. “What are you going to White Rajah City for?”

Seeing that these two bodyguards were so tense, Merlin’s heart shifted. Could it be that Ririya possessed a high status in White Rajah City? Perhaps she was even linked to the White Rajah.

With this in mind, Merlin thought for a moment, then said, “We’re heading to White Rajah City to join the White Rajah’s side! We’ve killed an aristocrat in a territory. The Holy Dragon Empire’s aristocratic parliament and royal family won’t let us go. I’ve heard that the White Rajah is the greatest faction nearby, so we thought of trying our luck.”

“Haha, if you wish to join the White Rajah, you’ll have to ask me. With one word from me to my father, you can easily join the White Rajah Army.”

Ririya could not help but answered, pleased with herself.

The two bodyguards looked particularly powerless. Ririya truly could not keep anything to herself. Did her words not just exposed her identity?

Merlin and Cerberus exchanged a glance and Merlin asked in a somewhat “surprised” tone, “Ririya, the White Rajah is your father?”

“Of course!”

Ririya answered proudly, admiring her father very much.

“Don’t worry. As long as you’re sincerely here to join my father, he’ll surely agree. How about this – follow me into White Rajah City. I’ll bring you directly to my father.”

Ririya’s words made Merlin’s heart leap with delight. Initially, he was still thinking about how to get near the White Rajah. Now, it appeared like this problem was resolved. With Ririya, meeting the White Rajah was not an issue at all.

“Miss Ririya, in that case, we’re truly thankful.”

Merlin cast a cold glance at Cerberus, whose heart leaped in fear. Currently, Cerberus was afraid of Merlin the most. After all, he had nearly died at Merlin’s hands, and his strength had been suppressed.

Therefore, Cerberus and Merlin both expressed their “thanks” to Ririya simultaneously.

“Now, the plan will change. It seems like it’ll be easier than I imagined. Our luck is good for us to meet the White Rajah’s daughter.”

Merlin squinted slightly as he listened to Ririya excitedly describing everything in White Rajah City. Ririya had a naïve heart indeed and she was a very friendly girl. It was just a shame that they were bound to kill the White Rajah and she was bound to lose her greatest support.

“Perhaps she might hate me!”

A pitiful look flashed across Merlin’s eyes. He felt that Ririya was somewhat similar to his younger sister, Macy, back in Blackwater City, thus feeling rather close to her.

Time passed by slowly. In the jolting carriage, Ririya almost never stopped talking, chirping and chattering constantly. Sometimes, Merlin got in a few words, wearing an expression of utmost interest.

Soon, they had reached White Rajah City. The towering city walls seemed to exude an ancient presence. After all, White Rajah City’s history was very extensive, already existing even before the Holy Dragon Empire was founded. It was also an extremely important city in the empire, and there was a fortress in the city.

However, now, it had been seized by General White Rajah, a subordinate of Doomsday. Of course, it was not called White Rajah City before this. It was White Rajah who had changed the name.

“We’re finally here in White Rajah City. It feels good to be home. Leon, you guys follow me. Don’t worry, Father will surely take you in.”

Ririya lifted the carriage’s curtains. Upon seeing White Rajah City, her face revealed her elation.

Merlin looked out of the carriage. The guards at the city gates, when they noticed Ririya’s token, all appeared very respectful. They entered the city without any issues.

As for the rest, the inspection was very strict. If they had not met Ririya, Merlin and the rest would have to spend some effort to enter the city.

As the carriage gradually moved deeper into the city, the crowds grew as well. Voices bubbled all around them as if the threat of war had not caused White Rajah City’s decline.

However, in the city, the most striking thing was a gigantic White Rajah statue. One could see that massive stone sculpture, no matter from which corner of the city.

This was what the White Rajah had ordered the people to build after taking over White Rajah City. The White Rajah himself lived beside this colossal statue. There was a faint, unusual force that had been assuredly stored within the White Rajah statue.

It seemed that this statue was not merely just a simple statue!
