In the rear castle gardens stood a single cottage, surrounded by a wooden fence. The cottage was built out of clay bricks and the ground was filled with loess, a mixture of sand, silt and clay. There was also a pond in front of the cottage with a circumference of roughly nine and a half yards and with the pond filled with an appropriate amount of river water, this environment was not only difficult to burn but also had a certain manufactured feel, it seemed to be taken right out of a dream. Piled atop the ground were several iron ingots, these came from the blacksmith and were placed there by Carter.The pond was very charming,Roland had immediately taken a fancy to this place, but as for a laboratory, this place was still too crude. Roland shook his head,realizing that using some random materials and having them build a perfect lab was not possible. If he could find a suitable place in the future and collected all the resources, he would get Barov to start making him a workshop.Call
The fire rose up from under her feet but soon faded away.This was already her twenty-third attempt.And she had failed again.On Anna's forehead beads of sweat constantly arose, but she just used the back of her hand to swipe them away, and the crackling sound of rising flames immediately sounded out again.With no stops to rest, the end of an exercise was followed by the start of the next one. The witch uniform lied at the side, neatly folded, If Anna had not insisted on doing so, her new uniform would have already been burned to ashes.Fortunately, with Roland's identity as the 4th prince,getting a few spare robes for her to use was not difficult. He had his maid Tyre deliver a whole bucket of robes, gathered by the maids for Anna to use.The twenty-fourth practice had finally been effective, the flame was no longer rising from her feet. Instead, it appeared on her hand. She gingerly moved her arm, to try and have the flame go to her fingertips, but the flame suddenly shook twice a
If Roland wanted to develop his territory well, he had to build strong roots in this place. Even though this land was a wasteland it could be easily reclaimed, when the territory was too small it could be expanded outwards, but all talk was useless if the people weren't willing to stay.If they could be forced to abandon a plot of land at any time,then who would be willing to purchase it? Who would want to improve its production?After the assistant minister left,Roland called in Knight Commander Carter and ordered, “Assemble your men,go and find some of the local guards, hunters and farmers,they must have lived here for more than five years, and experienced the Months of the Demons. If there is someone who can fight it would be even better."After the knight saluted and left,Roland rubbed his forehead,continuing to look at the data compiled by the Assistant Minister.The main exports of the border town were from mining and hunting, and the bulk of the imports were food items.Everyth
"Not many, Your Highness,"the hunter replied. “During every Months of the Demons there will only appear two to three mixed species demons,otherwise Longsong Stronghold would be in huge trouble."“Well, you seem to be very observant, " Roland ordered the man to stand up and asked,“what's your name? You don't look like a man from my Kingdom of Graycastle.""Half of my lineage hails from the Mojin Clan, the townspeople call me Iron Axe."Mojin Clan, the people from the Shamin Kingdom, located southwest of the barren lands,it was said that they were the descendants of giants. Roland searched within his brain for any memories related to the Mojin Clan and realized that Iron Axe did not use the name his clan called him by, rather using the name given by the people of Border Town, and apparently he did not want to have a relationship with the Shamin Kingdom. As for why,since it was obvious that he was from the southwestern border of the desolate lands, he estimated, that there were a series
The weather had been bad all week, and the sky was always gray. Karl van Bate's mood was just like the weather: gloomy to the extreme.As he walked down the wet stone street, people greeted him from time to time-Karl ran a school in this town. Unlike the Kingdom of Graycastle, where only the children of noble could go to school, here he taught r the children of ordinary people.Therefore, he had a very high reputation in Border Town. "Hey,Mr. van Bate, good morning. ""Sir, is my son doing all right?""When are you free, Karl? Let's go fishing together."Usually, Karl would always smile and respond to them, but today he just nodded, never saying a word.He had just witnessed Anna's hanging, so in his eyes there was a crack in the once-perfect world-or this crack had begun to form since his departing from Graycastle, but he deliberately turned a blind eye.He used his busy work to numb himself, and to a certain extent,he even used the innocent smile of the students to mend this crack."U
Maximus read through the history of border town and he couldn't help but frown. There was nothing about the cave of gold mentioned in that book, only about ability users they called witches and devil's servants, and also about their King who wasn't of this realm, but none of these was of any help to him right now.As he sat down inside the library, he was pissed at everything that's been happening.“Its been three weeks and I haven't got any improvement on this mission. The only thing I know is that the Killer Wolves Elite and that blasted Vengeance god Black Heart are now in this world. No cave of gold, no Diamond and her soldiers, and certainly no way to leave this cursed place. I should never have taken this mission. What the hell was I thinking! That it would just be a walk in the park?”Maximus stood up and decided to go over to the mercenary guildhall. He figured out the only way he could get out of here was if he could pinpoint exactly where that gateway was. He finds it, he fi
Maximus sprinted towards the path leading to the gateway. There was no way he would let the Vengeance god lay waste to the good people of Triton City.'I have to return as fast as I can!'As Maximus got close to his destination, he sensed powerful auras around the place.'I should have known they would leave a few persons to guard the place, wouldn't want the people of Vantrea fleeing out of the town.' Maximus thought to himself as he stealthily walked towards the source of the aura.“You don't have to hide. I spotted you a long time ago.” a teenage voice said from behind Maximus. Immediately Maximus took a defensive stance before leaving his hiding spot. He walked forward with his two daggers in hand, ready for any surprises, which there wasn't.Maximus finally came face to face with the sources of the powerful auras he had felt a while ago. They belonged to seven persons in total, and one of them was a female. While five were standing in front of him, two were behind him. The moment
Gobsmacked! Dumbfounded! Jaw dropping!Erik and the rest of the Elites were all shocked by the display of power Maximus had just showcased.“I will only ask once, so you better answer me truthfully. Who are you?” Starlet asked with his brows furrowed. It's something if Maximus managed to beat a KWE soldier effortless, but to beat down six at once? And without getting a single scratch, there's something off about that.“Oh I never planned on lying.. you see I am...” Maximus was about to whip up a long winded story about his origin when he spotted the new person that came and stood beside Erik.“Hello Brother. Did you miss me?”It was Daniel Akkris Gayle, Maximus' half brother. He had this smug on his face that gave Maximus the chill.“Young master Erik, meet the person that the gods have chosen to fight against your father.. Meet Maximus Akkris Gayle, wielder of the Ozilla Gold System, and the chosen one of the six gods and deities.” Daniel gave a lengthy introduction of Maximus.“No m
