After flying for three days without stopping, Red and Talia arrive at a beautiful lake.
Red, the moment he saw this, he immediately landed his flying shield.
The lake was very beautiful. The water perfectly reflects the scenic view of the surroundings. And the air is unbelievably cooler and gentler here.
Red closed his eyes and relaxed for a moment.
He remembered the Nine-Headed Hydra that he and Little White killed. He felt nostalgic.
He took out Rocky because it was already a long time since he place him inside his storage tool.
Talia's eye widened when he saw Rocky but she said nothing.
Red returned to his seclusion spell and dried himself before sleeping.The night was peaceful. The whooping of the owls can be heard. The wolves howl as they admire the elegant moon that hangs in the sky.But despite the peacefulness of the night, Red was woken up as he felt his tattoo heating up as it shines a bloody crimson light for a brief moment before stopping.Similarly, the King Tree, or should I say, the Tree of Knowledge, felt something that stirred the Thread of Fate of the five kingdoms.The Thread of Fate is what binds the past, and the present, and the one that weaves the future. The Thread of Fate contains everything, be it knowledge or powers.Since ancient times, many have been trying to control it. But nobody succeeded. At most, they can only stir it or sneak peek to the future. Although this is puny compared to controlling it, it is already difficult, and not j
"I will follow you anyway, even if you disagree."After Talia said that, there was an awkward silence. Red did not know how to respond, while Talia regretted what she said and blushed. He thought, "What a slut."Red turned his gaze into the lake and diverted his thought on how to earn mana crystals."Will you truly follow me?" he suddenly asked, which made Talia blush. His voice sounded seductive into her ears."Yes, I will also do everything as long as…as…" she flushed as she remembered the sight that she saw on the waterfall. Talia cannot help but assume that Red wants to do something with her."Err…I have items that I need to auction," Red cut her and took out the weapon that he was supposed to auction in the Lavender City.Her expression turned ashen and took the weapon violently from Red's hand. She had to admit that she kinda expect
"50 000 low-grade mana crystals!"…"51 000 low-grade mana crystals!"…Red was smiling as he heard the numbers kept rising. He had his hair dyed and he was wearing a mask that can block all forms of detection...."55 000 low-grade mana crystals!"...The bidders are madly bidding for the item that he auctioned...."5 000 high-grade mana crystals!"...He auctioned a flying disk that can absorb and gather mana in the surroundings and use them to sustain itself during flight. It was also engraved with a stealth spell...."10 000 high-grade mana crystals!"...Its edges are sharp and can be used as a blade to kill its targets.&nbs
The lightning elements churn and white light obstructed Red's vision as a spatial passage opened. He is filled with smiles for he knows that after a couple of months, he finally has a chance to return home.He is melancholic as the faces of those whom he wanted to meet flashed on his mind but when he regained his vision he almost spat all of his blood.…Meanwhile, in the royal palace of the kingdom, Hudson was talking with a middle-aged man who was wearing a crown atop his head, along with Luna."When are you leaving? The meeting of the five kingdoms is about to commence," Hudson reminded the king as he sipped his tea."I don't know, I still have not chosen five representatives for the younger generation," he replied then added, "the youths today barely meet my standards.""Father it's because you expect too much," Luna interjected.
The Central Kingdom is the center of the world, well, if you look at the perspective of normal folk and low-level maguses.Red and the others were brought by Benedict into one of the halls of his royal palace. Inside it, there is a young man the same age as Red. He has fine black hair and sword-like eyebrows. He also looked scholarly and gentlemanly.Benedict looked at Red and said, "this is my son, Kevin."Red nodded and, "hello, I am Red," before giving a polite bow.Kevin looked at Red and was curious why he is with the royal family of the Northern Kingdom. He gave it a thought and understood the introduction of his father.He felt a pinch in his heart.
The next day, the royal 'family' of the Northern Kingdom is in the dining hall while eating their breakfast. King Benedict was not able to join because he needed to tend to an urgent matter that recently came up. While Kevin is attending the selection for the five representatives of the younger generation of the Central Kingdom.Red did not want to join them but he was forced by Hudson.The dining hall was silent and only the sound of the eating utensils hitting each other can be heard."Can maguses manipulate blood?" Red asked all of sudden.He kinda regretted not pursuing Talia at that time. He was not sure why, but his gut feeling is telling him that there will be big trouble because of her in the future.<
"I have defeated you last time, I can defeat you again."Red waved his hand and the lighting serpent bared its crackling fangs towards them. The serpent is ten meters long and is extremely fast and agile.It dashed towards them at a great speed, which terrorized them. They furiously flapped their wings while most of them that were not fast enough turned into a blood mist and barely avoided the serpent.They tried to move out of Red's range but Red won't let them off easily. He flashed and chased after them. Red knows that this is a great time to reduce their numbers.He speculated that they must be weakened. He remembered that Hudson said that although they might be able to become otherworldly for a short moment, th
"The leaves of the king tree are scarlet just like Red's hair," Lily mumbled as she saw the tree."Senior Tree, we are being pursued. Can we hide here?" Kane asked politely to the Tree of Knowledge."Hmmm, come now, those ants won't be able to hurt you here," the tree said with a voice of mockery.Lily looked around. She was stunned by the view. She sees a lot of things atop the tree."Uncle Kane, when do you think I can see Red?"Before Kane could even answer, the voice of the Tree of Knowledge reverberated on their heads."Don't worry, you will meet again."
