‘I hope she is fine now.’
Adam gently patted his white horse while waiting for the Empress.
Yesterday, for some reason, he made her angry again. The reason; he was yet to figure out. She was angry after the negotiations with the Elves.
He agreed to help them in return for the conditions of the Empress. In Adam’s mind, it was rather beneficial for them. Besides, he had a sense of duty regarding the request from the Elves.
He never thought there would be dark creatures surrounding the Elven lands. Even though they didn’t go into detail, he had a feeling it might relate this to the same forces that appeared in the Church of Shadows and the Church of the Dawn.
Even if it was not, there wa
“We have to deal with the iron shipment coming to the valley. Take it from Lord Mason’s people tonight.”Adam currently sat on one of the wooden buildings made by Dwarfs. It was a spacious building with a nice fireplace and a smooth finishing. Wooden planks looked well-sealed and tight. The floor made of smooth stone made the atmosphere inside warm and welcoming.He sat behind the stack of documents on his table.To be honest, he was never used to this kind of work, but now he had to pay attention to everything. Lord Mason reminded him several times. Verbal promises and numbers meant very little. As long as there was something written, they could use the details properly.A group of people assigned by Lord Mason, and his own people who
“I don’t know your name!”Mel studied the younger man in front of him. He knew he had to tread carefully. The first time he saw this man was during a massacre. Not just any massacre; the massacre happened in the sunken ship, Holy flower. This was the man who led the attack. Despite being weak in strength, he was a lord.Mel heard his name from the women who brought their food. It amazed him to see there were Beast women who served this young man as well. In a place like the Holy Light Empire, it was easy to see Beast men slaves working under powerful nobles. However, this was the Crimson Empire, and he had never heard of a powerful noble named Adam.He didn’t know this young man’s family name, but he thought it should be a noble one. At least he heard the name of Princess Ja
“Is this it?”Adam finished making the hollow cylinder. This fine crafting took much more time than he expected, but this was what he promised.‘They can make these themselves.’Even if he thought this, skills like this didn’t come under forging. To make fine equipment, the best way was casting. However, they didn’t bring those pieces of equipment into the valley, and they just started building the facilities.Adam felt it would take many years to build perfect forges like they had in the Dwarven city. There was a long way to go for that.“Yes… Yes, that is it.”Adam smiled, listening to the excit
“Brother, you are leaving again.”“Amy, I am going to come back soon. It is just for a couple of days.”Adam rubbed Amy’s little head. He talked to her about this for the last couple of days, yet at the last moment, she wasn’t ready to let him go. He didn’t lose his grip around her, letting her latch around his neck.Adam could only helplessly look at the only other person who could take Amy away now. However, her eyes were darker than ever, too.The time they agreed upon was getting near. Soon, the Elven Dragon would open a space-time gate for them to travel to the Elven kingdom.‘Didn’t she agree to let me go?’ ‘This is troublesome.’Adam felt his head throbbing, looking at the map in front of him.Princess Jane and the Guardian Knights looked confident, but Carl looked terrified. This man personally experienced the terror of the undead and lost a few of his men in the Westwood Forest.He never thought the Elves had declined to such a level. Even the dwarfs had the master forgers who had strength at the 10th tier, but the Elves had none. Other than the few elite guards at the 9th tier, they had several spell casters.That was far from enough to deal with the amount of undead shown on the map. He couldn’t imagine what would have happened if they didn’t have the Tree of Life and the Dragon. According to the Elves, the Tree of life had a pBlood Wolf Chapter 257: Wretched Power
After the last rays of the sun vanished, the Elven kingdom lit up from various lights. The yellow lights among the lush green leaves looked majestic, but the noises in the village disappeared soon.Adam listened to the wilderness. Other than the sounds of the predators coming from the far High pass mountain, there was no other sound. Everything was silent. Thousands of Elven guards assembled in the ground circling the village.Even if there was a natural barrier, they looked uneasy. Normally, the lower level undead should be weaker. If not for the presence of a lich or another higher being, these guards should be able to take them down easily.‘What exactly happened?’If they could utilise the barrier, they could easily damage the undead to
“Adam, are they going to be weak?” Jane felt no more comfortable because of the daylight. The surrounding forest was dead silent. She understood the true horror of the undead. Last night, she witnessed their numbers made of an uncountable number of skeletons and rotting bodies. Also, according to the Elves, last night’s behaviour of the undead was unnatural. They all saw the undead retreating when Adam approached them, and later, they left the encirclement. The power of the Tree of Life amazed Jane. It had a barrier that could prevent the undead from entering, and that barrier itself was filled with vitality. She was excited just by thinking a similar tree would soon become theirs. The Crimson Empire would also have the luxury, but these enemi
Adam pondered over his options as he walked out of the bone building. His Mystic Knowledge was correct. The drawing on the ground was a summoning circle. More importantly, it was a type of summoning related to something other than the undead. In the bone building, there was an altar made of bones. His Mystic knowledge was enough for Adam to identify it as an altar for the god of death. They did the sacrifice of the lich on a separate sacrifice circle, meaning whoever was doing the ritual wanted to summon something else. “Where do the undead gather the most?” He looked at the Elven guards. They looked terrified by the appearance of the building, but this was not the time to attend to their feelings. The system kept warning him with a red screen about the danger. He had to act fast.
