"Hahaha, that's why I heard the chirping of birds early this morning! It turns out we have a distinguished guest!" Bari Montich laughed heartily as he spotted the newcomers at the castle's main entrance.
He had received news half an hour earlier from a member of the family guard that his most beloved son had encountered a disciple from a very powerful 'family.'
There was also mention of a peculiar attack method that resembled the techniques of traditional wizards.
This revelation left him astonished. Forget about Formal Wizards; even a Wizard Apprentice would be too much for his barony to handle.
If he angered the other party, perhaps the Montague Family would be obliterated in an instant!
However, he soon thought that if he could establish a connection with such a figure, dealing with the nearby ruffians would be a piece of cake. Unifying the Mulan Plain wouldn’t be difficult at all!
"Ha, your dad is quite enthusiastic!" Ye Kai remarked to his companion, Allen.
After taking a closer look, he genuinely wanted to comment that Allen's father resembled the Black Bear Spirit from Journey to the West!
What a sight! This man, who looked like a Big Bear, was actually Allen's father?
The two of them didn’t seem to belong to the same species at all!
Bari stood two meters tall, clad in leather armor. His massive arms were about as thick as Ye Kai's waist, and his face was covered in a bushy beard. If it weren't for his sleek attire, one might mistake him for a bandit at first glance!
If the father and son stood together, they could definitely star in an animated series titled "The Skinny Son and the Big Dad," with a theme song adapted from existing tunes.
The Skinny Son and the Big Dad, a pair of good friends, a happy father and son duo. The son's hands are small, while the dad's hands are big too. Hand in hand they walk without fear of slipping—la la... In no time, the son grows up!!!
Allen was speechless!
"Do you really have to make such a scene?"
"This is the theme song of an Animated Series, you know!"
"Can you at least sing it in your head?"
"What are you trying to do, having fun all by yourself?"
"How can you even think of changing the lyrics? What kind of bizarre personality do you have?"
"Forget it, forget it. Stay calm. This uncle seems to have some serious fighting skills. If I can't beat him, I can at least avoid him! Just ignore him!"
"Where was I? Oh right, even if my dad is enthusiastic, it still depends on who he's dealing with!"
"I've known my dad's character well over these past few months. He's definitely the type who won't act until he sees results. The only reason he's taking this seriously is because of you!"
With a sigh, he was about to order something when suddenly he felt a jolt. Had he just heard something? Chinese—definitely proper Mandarin!
"Oh my gosh!"
"Could it be that this uncle named Ye Kai is also a Transmigrator?"
"And on top of that, he's a fan of Animated Series?"
"Wait!"
In an instant, Allen was stunned, feeling as if his brain couldn't keep up. Was this kind of animated series really something adults enjoyed?
...
"Heh heh, Mr. Barry, you are too polite!" Ye Kai said, rolling his eyes at the peculiar formality.
Wasn't this hand-kissing gesture supposed to be for men to women?
Although it was his own ring being kissed, it still sent shivers down Ye Kai's spine!
Suddenly, Ye Kai furrowed his brows again and turned to look in the direction they had come from.
Seeing such a rude display, Bari felt a bit awkward despite not being offended. Just as he was about to call out to his precious son, he noticed that his son was also frowning, seemingly pondering some difficult problem.
"Allen, Mr. Barry, have you two gotten into some trouble recently?" Ye Kai asked, turning back with a strange expression.
Trouble?
Their family had been plagued with troubles constantly!
However, Bari suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a wizard among them. Could it be that they sensed some ominous sign?
This thought made him alert immediately, and he quickly asked, "Mr. Ye Kai, what do you mean by trouble?"
"What else could it be!"
Ye Kai casually remarked, "There are probably hundreds of knights heading this way!"
Enemy attack!!!
Bari quickly scooped his son into his arms and let out a roar that rivaled that of a wild bear, "Enemy attack! Everyone, get ready and stay alert!"
"Dad, what are you doing?" Allen felt himself spinning around and, to his bemusement, found himself once again cradled in his father's arms just like when he first crossed over a few months ago.
Although the strong paternal love he had experienced over the past few months had helped him accept this man, who was even stronger than a grizzly bear, it was still incredibly embarrassing!
It always happened like this whenever danger approached!
Moreover, perhaps Uncle Ye Kai was his 'Hometown,' which made it all the more humiliating. With that thought in mind, he immediately began to struggle.
"Hahahaha..."
Ye Kai chuckled at the furious face of the fifteen-year-old boy named Allen. This kid was fortunate to have such a protective father, but it was also a weakness for someone his age.
Boys at this age often believed they were already manly enough to face any danger or challenge alone, leading them to rebel.
However, Ye Kai thought for a moment; if it were him facing a father who was even stronger than a grizzly bear, he would probably fare no better.
After a shiver ran down his spine, he quickly pushed aside the dissonant image and said, "Mr. Barry, don't worry. The enemy is still some distance away!"
"What?" Bari and his son were immediately taken aback.
"Tsk tsk, these knights seem quite impressive, well-equipped too."
At this point, Ye Kai suddenly exclaimed, "One of them has spotted me. To notice my gaze from this distance, that person is quite skilled!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bari and his son, along with the castle guards, simultaneously noticed the approaching figures. The imposing presence of hundreds of knights galloping together could be felt even from afar.
"Enemy attack!!!"
"Sound the alarm!"
"Crossbowmen, prepare the Demon-Breaking Armor-Piercing Arrows!"
"Bring out the kerosene! If they dare to come closer, burn them! Get ready, everyone!"
As Ye Kai followed the 'adorably mismatched' father and son into the castle, he couldn't help but reflect that no matter the world or race, old soldiers and rascals were always the same.
With Bari and his son's charming contrast, he didn't want to miss this large-scale knight engagement.
After all, there was no time limit on the divine mission, and he was also curious about that figure in the black robe who had managed to detect his gaze. Who could they be?
Could it be a wizard?
In less than three minutes, as they closed the castle gates and stood atop the walls, the group of finely dressed knights had already reached a distance of one thousand meters from the castle.
A sudden chorus of neighing horses erupted, causing nearly all the steeds to rear up on their hind legs. This only intensified the curiosity in Ye Kai's eyes. The knights moved with such uniformity that it was clear they had undergone extensive training together; such coordination could not be achieved without long-term collaboration.
With Bari's and Allen's explanations in mind, he began to understand that this world was far from peaceful. While there were certainly lords or bandits who slaughtered civilians, the real trouble arose when conflicts broke out between territories.
However, what concerned Ye Kai even more was whether wars in this world involved wizards as well.
Could it be that the wizards in this Low-Level Fantasy Dimension were akin to mages?
Fireball?
Chain Fireball?
Blazing Flame?
Ye Kai felt an urge to summon the Mage Envoys hidden above Hope, wondering who would prevail in a duel between them and the wizards.
