Elena listened to Jane going through the documents as she closed her eyes.
Adam gave these to Jane as he returned, before going to cook something for her.
It was the only thing Elena looked forward to right now. However, she couldn’t abandon her responsibility as the Empress. Already, the matters regarding the East Coast city weighed down on her. Noble families noticed the abnormal behaviour of the Military long ago, but now they were questioning the motive.
‘They are not making a move yet.’
Unlike the Holy Light Empire, the Black Dragon Empire was impulsive. They expected an attack on the East Coast city for a while. There were enemy activities around a week ago before it suddenly stopped. Currently, there were no enemy pr
“Don’t run too far. And don’t be late. Be careful!”Maya yelled at Ivan. Her little brother was already halfway out of their tent.“I will be careful, sister.”She shook her head, looking at Ivan running freely.‘At least you will have a better childhood.’She was not too old either, but she never had the freedom to run around like this when they were back in the village. She spent her time near the field of her parents. Even their mother and father stayed in the vicinity of the village. Other than going to trade with the Dwarfs once a year, they never left the village. Even for that, men travelled as a group. “Sister Mila, everything is ready.”“Good.”Mila nodded in response to the young girl.She felt nervous. They lacked many things according to the knowledge given by Lord Adam.She saw her husband giving her an encouraging smile from the audience. Today, they were letting a group of chosen people witness the process of healing. It was to give the impression of the importance of the process and the work.Yesterday, Lord Adam gave her some basic knowledge regarding healing. The method Lord Adam used for that was some kind of secret art that gave her directly the knowledge Lord had. She felt dizzy and unstable the moment that mysterious knowledge came to her mind. David held her all the wBlood Wolf Chapter 275: A Real Healer
Bam looked at the massive crowd below the mountain.The city where thousands of races gather for business. This place had almost all the commodities that were available. Also, there were many black-market goods that gave everyone a headache. If someone had enough connections, they could find weapons, drugs and killers with no problem.“All people stand down!”Bam heard a loud announcement as a red light landed on the crowd below. He instinctively placed his hand on his sword before realising where he was. If he wanted to get involved with that commotion, he better go there. On this mountain, drawing a weapon was an absolute taboo.He saw the crowd dispersing, leaving two people targeted by red lights. Those two looked like they were fighting
‘It is getting harder and harder to live.’Vini sighed, remembering the little food left at home.He was a worker in the harbour, but life was getting difficult over time.He didn’t have lunch because he wanted to save food for their children.‘I should have gone to work.’He hanged the washed clothes, as he regretted his decision to stay home. He couldn’t leave his wife while she was sick, but they would have much less food for tomorrow. Besides, his wife needed more food until she got well.‘I should buy some hides before the winter.’During the
“Lord Alex, what are your thoughts on this?”‘Huh?’Alex barely held his urge to say those words out. It was not like he didn’t want to focus on the meeting. The thought of his responsibility filled his head. He had to change the Body tempering art given by brother Adam.He knew brother Adam wanted to develop this new method to be suitable for magicians. Also, Alex had to change it to be suitable for the medical team, too. To make things more difficult, this Body tempering art had no levels.‘This is an opportunity, but a tough one.’A magician didn’t have to temper their bodies, they focused on the mind. The Body tempering art given by brother Adam had the potential
‘What a day.’Mel entered his new home after a tiring day.He instinctively nodded at the people he saw outside their tents. They gathered around fires to chat with each other. For the last couple of weeks, he realised it was much easier to live with these people rather than the scheming nobles. Other than the food, safety, and shelter, they had very few expectations.He was late today. They had to go to refugee camps around the West Coast city to distribute food, and he saw how pitiful these refugees live.Mel realised there were almost no people from the Holy Light Empire or the kingdoms under their control. However, there were many people from the Black Dragon Empire.According to his kn
‘That should do it.’Adam placed the cup of pudding on the tray before taking it in his hand.He added enough herbs with his advanced cooking skill. After updating his medicine and herbs skill, he felt the urge to upgrade cooking. It was because he felt the potential of using herbs in cooking.- Cooking (Master) – The host is able to bring the essence of cooking for the mortals, and the food will carry the effects of herbs and medicine you add. The food prepared by the host is almost irresistible. The host can prepare ingredients for the cooking - portion of knowledge coming from places beyond the world (Upgradable - General points – 10000 Skill points – 16)His first skill exceeded the advance tier, and the second skill to gain
“Uncle Leonard, are we there yet?”“Just a little more. Remember to stay silent, okay?”He changed his hold, taking the weight of the child to the other hand.He saw the child’s mother, Gina, giving him a grateful look, but he wasn’t expecting anyone’s gratitude. They were all in on this together, and they had to somehow make it to the Crimson Empire.‘I hope the news is true.’He was one of the escaped slaves of the Summer Palace city. He hid with many others in the mountains of the Blood Baron Kingdom, but it was not safe. Luckily, they found some contacts with human war refugees.He learned they
“Amazing.”Despite her words, the older girl saw several teardrops in the eyes of her little sister, and she didn’t say anything about that. The story was sweet and sour. She picked her up and held her against her chest. Their mother and father were talking with some other families in the distance. Many pilgrims and worshipers walked around them, and some were telling the same story as her. It was the story of a legend. “That is the story of the Great Blood Wolf.” The older girl ended the story, holding her younger sister’s hand in front of the massive statue of their Grand Empress and Her Consort. The Blood Wolf. “Oh….” Her little sister looked elated, looking at the massive statue of the couple. The greatest rulers of the world. She knew her sister would ask about this story again and again, but she was happy to see her little tail swinging in excitement. “Are you happy?” “Yes. I am very happy. I want to be as strong as the Grand Empress in the future.” “Of Course, you
“Grandfather?” The old man shook when he heard this call. He wanted to strangle this thing to death, but first, he needed an answer. “Why did you do that? Why did you kill my Grandson?” His face looked tired and battered. Time was not a concept for him, and he hoped to see his Grandchild someday. He came here because he almost felt the presence of his little boy. However, it wasn’t him. He looked at Chaos. He remembered the day when he first saw the two-headed infant drifting across the universe. Their first meeting wasn’t a good one. The first time he met him, this kid attacked him and even injured him. However, he treated Chaos as a child and even adopted him into the family. He grew up together with his only Grandson. They were great friends and family. His Grandson never treated Chaos badly. That was the reason he permitted Chaos to go with his Grandson when he left to become the first Guardian of the universe. He was the one who even granted this power to his Grandson on
Adam crashed onto the ground with full force. He didn’t want to slow down when he saw the hideous figure standing on the beach. He knew what it was. He gritted his teeth to ignore the head-splitting pain that came with the memories. He was finally looking at the nemesis of this world; Chaos. Adam wished he could end this thing with one blow. Because it was something that shouldn’t exist. He was betting the lives of too many people, and the life of the Empress. If he failed right now, he would fail the entire world forever. His punch landed inches away from his target, but that thing moved several metres away with ease. The ground shattered under his blow, and the foul stench of the chaos entered his nose. He finally understood why the world and Mahisha failed to access this ground. Because it was contaminated by Chaos. He already created armour around his body and coated his sword with the aura of the Abyss. He didn’t have a reason to drag this. ‘This is not going to be
“Still nothing, commander.” “What exactly is going on?” Morga Steelbeard was lost. Not in the sea, but in his own thoughts. After two long months in the sea, they finally found their destination. As the second fleet commander of the Crimson Empire, he had an army of his own. Although it was still not at the level of Sakura’s fleet with twelve warships and two supply ships; his seven-shipped fleet was the second powerhouse of the sea. The land was just ahead of them, but they failed to find anything even after searching for two days. The western continent looked desolate and abandoned. There were not even large animals. This was too alarming for him. They saw birds and small rodents, but nothing bigger than that. The forest looked untainted for generations. He didn’t even think about sending a landing party. The risk was too much. ‘What exactly is happening?’ They passed through the so-called barrier about a week back, and there was nothing in between the northern continent an
“We should leave!” “Yes, Your Majesty.” Adam smiled, looking at the Empress. He wondered how many changes she made within the day to the castle. “I changed the 12th floor entirely. You should go and see.” “I will, Your Majesty.” He was sure it would be a combination of blue, shades of blue, and some gold, white and silver, and more shades of blue. There was nothing more to think, but he knew way better than to voice it out. ‘It is a good thing I have Mahisha to help her.’ He wouldn’t get any time to train his powers if he had to change the Abyss castle by himself. He sometimes felt the Empress was playing with the castle because it could be changed based on her simple thoughts. He didn’t care much at all. As long as she was happy with it. When she came here for the first time, she had a lot of complaints about the dull colours and the bad choice of material. In the end, he had no choice but to let her handle the decorations and colours as she pleased. “Not now. We have
Adam moved fast and landed in the area he saw the camps. He simply nodded at the people who started greeting him,He already found Alex, and he didn’t seem to be alright. “My Lord!!”Adam nodded at David before entering the tent. Already, there were several healers around the bed, including Mila. ‘Not good.’He felt Alex’s breathing wasn’t stable. “What happened?”The people made way for him with ease.“My Lord. There seemed to be a weird poison.”“Poison?”He didn’t smell any poison, but he realised Alex was unstable. Someone had removed the clothes from his upper body. His veins could be seen on his chest and there was a back lump on his chest. The wound was gone, but he wasn't getting any better. “Hm… Divine power.”He didn’t expect the enemy to use such a weapon. If it was before, he would have had a hard time dealing with this, but not anymore. The divine power was just another source of power restricted to this world. Although it was the most powerful, it wasn’t powerful en
“Are you alright?”“Yes, Your Majesty.”Adam sat with the Empress, looking at the two girls playing on the beach.To him, knowing the truth didn’t hurt much. Rather, he felt relieved to know the truth. ‘Am I angry?’He couldn’t say no. He was angry. If he didn’t lose his father, things would have been much different for them. Maybe… Just Maybe… His mother could have survived. Of course, it would have changed many aspects of his life, including moving to the West Coast, but he wished his mother to be alive. However, knowing the Church of Light might be behind his father’s death didn’t sting as he thought it would. As for how he knew his father was dead; that was because of what he saw in the underground of the church. There were hundreds of dead bodies being held there, draining the liquids from the,He didn’t know what was the exact process, but he saw the so-called Life potion coming out of that facility. Besides, Helen confirmed this matter. ‘If not for Amy and Zafira, I would ha
“We have to run!” Oliver heard someone yelling, but he didn’t know what to do. “He followed the orders of the king, coming here to destroy the Summer Palace city. The reason was to simply buy them more time. According to the information they received, the army was led by the infamous three Generals of the Crimson Empire. Since the main army was already divided into three, there shouldn’t be enough power to fight against twenty 10th-tier powerhouses at the same time. Besides, the Crimson Empire army should have more than enough Dwarven machines to face them. However, there shouldn't be enough time to move them for a defensive battle or to mount them on a wall. In a sense, there was no way this city could stand against them. What really worried him was the results. They were doing all these things based on the assumption that the owner of the taboo name wasn’t as powerful as they said. However, he didn’t understand why they were underestimating the revenge of the Crimson Empi
Alex floated toward the north using his magic. He wasn’t as weak as he once was when he passed through the Summer Palace city long ago. However, it was a lie to say that he wasn’t afraid. Their original battle plan was to separate their enemies by attacking the different parts of the Blood Baron Kingdom at the same time. Also, by using a portion of their units and the help of the Kingdom of Boria, they should have been able to delay the reinforcements from the other five kingdoms. Lady Helen was to show herself at the Dwarven mountain to create a distraction and intimidation. That wasn’t all. He was the one that took out the enemy scouts near the borders of the Crimson Empire with ease. Then he asked for the help of Lady Helen to take on the Wind Hold city to prevent any news from leaking to the rest of the city. He knew their enemies would realise the threat once the army was divided and Lady Helen fortified the Dwarven mountain. It all went as they planned, but he realised h
