They travelled across several spans of mountain ranges and visited several villages before barely finding the direction they should go for.
‘I never thought about coming back.’
Adam remembered that he didn’t want to leave the village in the first place, but he didn’t argue with his mother. He wondered what would have happened if they didn’t leave.
“Is this the place?”
Adam felt them slowing down.
He noticed the remnant of another village.
Adam looked around at the mountain ranges in the surrounding area, but they didn’t look familiar to the place where he went to collect the herbs.
“Are you really going to sleep like this?”Elena ran her fingers through Adam’s hair.“Mhm….”She smiled when she heard his satisfied sound.They hunted and had their dinner in the wild. While doing so, they tried their best to find a reason for the disappearances that happened around his old village. However, they failed to find anything.There was nothing in the surrounding forest that could abduct people.They found some wolves and tigers, but these beasts were nothing too challenging. In the end, they failed to find the reason.‘Did that thing move away? Or is it not what
‘She really left.’Adam slumped onto his bed.There was her lingering scent everywhere.He didn’t even realise he slept in her embrace last night. After so many days, he finally had a goodnight sleep. He didn’t feel like doing much after she left.‘I wish I could do it every day.’Adam felt a rippling magic effect from the bedside table.He looked at the magic mirrors, and one of them was blinking with light.‘Hm?’He placed his hand on the magic mirror, injecting some power into it.
“Lord Maxim! My Lady!”“Hm.”Maxim nodded at the man, holding onto his wife’s hand.They tottered along the streets, looking at the city and its people.Several guard patrols walked on the streets from time to time.They looked rather strict for the city guards.They walked in line with their heads held high, and they didn’t look at the commoners unless there was a need. Unlike the common city guards, they knew these people didn’t interact with the people.However, from time to time these guards helped out the people in need. Even though some people looked scared,
“Are the preparations done?”Adam looked at everyone carefully.‘Sigh, It would have been good if master Simon was here.’Since their plan on attacking the Dragon’s Keep changed drastically, master Simon left the Black Dragon Empire on the first day. After all, the magicians' tower needed the attention of this master.He knew Frank was capable, but he appreciated the ideas of older people who had more experience than him. People like Lord Mason and master Simon Helped him from the beginning.“I am ready, My Lord.”“I am also ready, My Lord.”“I am also ready,
“Your Majesty!”“Sit down.”Elena sat in her seat without wasting any time.‘SIgh. Now I have to show myself.”She immediately arrived at the valley after seeing off the fleet. Soon, the entire Empire would come looking for her, and she had to deal with everything. Besides, many would have seen her disappear into the West with Zafira.‘I hope those two don't cause too much trouble to Maya.’She entrusted the little dragoness and Amy to Maya before coming to the meeting. She had to make several important decisions today. She wondered what it was like to be a mother. Then, Adam’s smiling face appeared in her mind, making he
‘So, is this the place?’Yan looked out of the window of the carriage.They didn’t try to hide the place they travelled. Even if they did there was no use. Because everyone knew their destinationThere was nothing but the forest surrounding them. However, if he looked up, he could see the white wall on top of the mountain. There weren’t many people, but everyone here had a purpose.‘If it was before, everyone would have tried to take some advantage. But now….’Yan wasn’t an idiot. Unlike how their main family looked at him, he was clever enough to know the real situation. The only reason his main family sent someone insignificant as him was fear. His duty was
“I guess… It is not simply a few buildings.”“Huh?... Ah… Yeah!”Yan answered his new friend in absent-mindedness. He noticed the look on this foreign man’s face, but he had no time to care about it. Because he too had a similar shock. It took him several minutes to realise they were still in the Crimson Empire. Because the place they entered was far from what he knew about their empire.Both sides of the road they travelled had lines and lines of farmlands, covered in greenery. He saw many different people working on these lands. Some looked too short, while some had different ears, horns, and tails. Some who looked normal had different skin colours to each other. It was obvious these people belonged to many different races. “Can you… Help us to look around?” “Huh?” Yan noticed the girl getting startled by their sudden approach. Despite her absent-minded behaviour, she wore a pair of decent clothes. Her eyes looked bright, and she had a pair of black round ears and a long tail hanging on her back. As soon as people got accustomed to their surroundings, their next thought was to find a proper guide. Yan noticed only a few people decided to walk on their own. Most of the people approached human men, and the rest tried to get the support of the women. Only a few approached the Beast men, and no one tried to approach the only female Beast man. Beru was the one who suggested asking this girl for help. Yan agreed Beru’s idea was correcBlood Wolf Chapter 425: Behind the White Wall – Part 3
