"Sir, what happened to the one who controlled the Heart Eater?" Taannon couldn't help but ask.
"He's dead," Angor said in a plain tone.
It was a Summoner who gave off an evil and perverted aura. He looked like a young man, but his aura suggested that he didn't have much time left.
As Angor expected, the Summoner was a wasteland apprentice who had just reached level-2.
At first, Angor didn't plan to kill him. He only wanted to stop him from participating in mortal wars. However, during the negotiation, Angor noticed that the man didn't dare to look at him in the eyes. It seemed that the man recognized Angor and kept agreeing to Angor's terms. Also, Angor didn't know what to do.
Angor planned to let the Summoner go, but the Summoner kept avoiding Angor's eyes, so he decided to use Nightmare Fear to learn who the Summoner was.
It was the Rat Ant Underground Society.
Ghostcaller was a member of the Rat Ant Underground Society. Two years ago, every member of the society received Angor's portrait, including Ghostcaller. Ghostcaller knew Angor's identity, and he knew he couldn't defeat Angor with his half-baked skills. Therefore, he decided to leave Angor's information to the Rat Ant Underground Society and let the others deal with him.
Angor didn't like Ghostcaller's attitude, so he didn't let the Summoner go. After getting some information from the Summoner, Angor killed him right away.
"Is that supernatural being really dead? That's great! " Shannon was so excited that she could barely contain her excitement. Without the help of Transcendents, Heylan had lost its most powerful ally, and it would no longer be impossible for them to reclaim their lost land.
"I've asked around. That apprentice did it on his own. There are no other supernaturals in the Heylan Royal Family. I've fulfilled my promise, "Angor said." Now, it's time for you to fulfill your end of the bargain. "
Taannon hesitated for a moment. "The war at Moonwater City is about to break out. Can I wait until we're done here, sir?"
"I don't have time to waste. Either you take me there, or I'll go myself."
Either way, Angor would have to go to the royal family. But no one knew what would happen if Angor went alone. "Alright, I'll take you there."
Taannon summoned her adjutant into her tent and told him to prepare for the upcoming battle. Then, she left with Angor.
Before leaving, Angor pointed at the unconscious child on the ground. "Leave him here. Keep an eye on him. I'll take him with me when I come back from the capital."
Taannon's eyes lit up. "You're going back to the capital? Can you give me a ride then? "
Taannon's expression.
Shannon was overjoyed. She had seen Gondola's speed, and it would take them only a day to reach the capital. That way, they wouldn't delay the war.
Shannon relaxed a little when she thought of that. She didn't want to miss such a good opportunity. Heylan had lost an arm, so it was time for them to attack. If their commander wasn't there, they might lose their morale again.
Since Taannon had already made up her mind, it was better to go as soon as possible. Taannon explained her reason to General Alan and boarded Gondola. She and Angor flew toward the capital under the cover of the night.
Under the gentle moonlight, Gondola's beautiful appearance seemed to have become one with the starry sky. It was like a small boat carrying hope in a fairytale, descending to the mortal world on a ropeway.
Shannon looked at the stars in front of her, and the heavy burden in her heart was lifted by the beautiful scenery in front of her.
"If everything goes well, you'll return to the camp tomorrow. You should take a rest first. You need to keep your spirit and stamina up if you want to fight against Heylan, "said Taannon.
"You want Goldspink to win as well, sir?" Taannon looked at Angor.
"It doesn't matter who wins. But Grue Town will have less trouble if Goldspink wins," Angor answered honestly.
"After this war, I'll tell my father to upgrade Grue Town to a city, and I'll raise Viscount Padt's title," Taannon said with a serious look.
"I don't like trouble, and I don't want my family to get into trouble." Angor didn't reject Taannon's offer.
Taannon nodded. "I understand."
Gondola fell silent for a while after the conversation ended. Taannon wanted to take a rest, but she couldn't fall asleep because of all the ups and downs she had been through today.
In the end, Shannon decided to give up and looked at Angor.
She had seen a lot of good-looking men in her life, but she had to admit that Angor was a good-looking man. His blond hair, blue eyes, delicate facial features, and cold aura would drive any woman crazy. If she wasn't already married and had children, she would probably fall for him too.
"What are you looking at?" Angor's clear voice reached Taannon's ears.
Taannon was too embarrassed to say "I'm looking at you". "I'm not looking at anything. I'm just thinking about something. By the way, who's that kid you brought back, sir?"
"A Heylan," Angor leaned against the railing and gazed into the distance.
The kid had been following an apprentice named "Ghostcaller" from the Rat Ant Society. When Ghostcaller was afflicted by Nightmare Terrors, Angor asked him about the kid's identity.
Ghostcaller told him that the kid was someone he found to be his successor.
Angor believed that the kid was a talent. He only needed one more person to complete his guide mission. He planned to train his elder brother Leon into a talent so that he could join Brute Cavern, but he didn't expect that Leon already had a new teacher. If he wanted to complete his guide mission, he had to find another talent.
Angor didn't have the time to look for Leon. Since Ghostcaller found the kid not long ago and didn't join the Rat Ant Society yet, Angor decided to bring him along.
At four o 'clock in the morning, they arrived at the capital of Goldspink Empire, Sangbia.
The sleeping Sang Biya was dim and lifeless. It was a far cry from Lost Paradise City, the capital of Anru Kingdom.
He landed Gondola at the Shannon Palace, which alerted a large number of guards. As soon as Gondola landed, it was surrounded by heavily-armored guards.
Shannon got off the Gondola first. She took off her helmet and revealed her true face.
"It's Princess Tavier! Everyone get out of the way! " The leader of the guards quickly stopped the others from approaching. He walked to Tavier's side and knelt on one knee.
"Take me to my father, Captain Marshall. I have something important to report." Tavier's voice sounded serious.
The Commander of the Imperial Guards named Marshall immediately nodded. Even though the king was now resting, Princess Tavier, as the general of the expedition, said that she had something urgent to report, presumably related to the war. No one could and dared to stop her.
Angor also got off Gondola and put it into his bracelet, which immediately caught the attention of the guards around him.
However, no one dared to ask questions in the strict security of the palace. When both Angor and Shannon left for the king's chamber, the remaining guards gathered together and began to discuss in low voices.
…
It was a luxurious underground palace.
If one took a closer look, they would notice that there were many stalactites on the ceiling, which meant this place used to be an underground cave before it was built.
King Shannon's name was Lochet, and he was a burly middle-aged man with a beard. His brown hair was messy because he was woken up in the middle of the night, and he wore a golden crown on his head. He looked a little ridiculous.
"Mister Wizard, that's the underground palace's treasure vault. The stalactites that drop precious liquid are inside." Lochet pointed at a palace in front of them and spoke respectfully.
Tavier also looked at the palace curiously. This was her first time here, since only Lochet and his men of sacrifice were allowed to enter.
Angor glanced around and saw a magnificent treasure vault. However, it was more like a door than a "vault". Angor used his spirit feelers to scan the place and found nothing but stalactites. There was no sign of artificial excavation.
Since Angor already knew that the so-called "treasure" was the liquid from the stalactites, he kept using his spirit feelers to check the stalactites on the ceiling.
But to his disappointment, he didn't sense any energy ripples at all.
They were all normal stalactites.
He didn't even feel any energy waves in the treasury that was separated by a door. His spiritual tentacles had already probed most of the stalactites inside, but he didn't find anything.
Angor began to wonder if he made a bad deal with Tavier.
The door of the treasury was guarded by several men of sacrifice in black armor. They didn't show any respect even when they saw Princess Tavier. They only lowered their heads when they saw Lochet.
Lochet took out a key and unlocked the door.
The door, which weighed several thousand kilograms, required the sacrifice men to push it open.
As soon as the door was pushed open, a gust of cold wind blew out from inside.
Although it was called a treasure trove, there were basically only stalactites inside. Only the high platform in the middle had a uniquely shaped flail on it.
According to Lochet, the place was too humid for other valuable treasures to be stored in drier places. The core of the entire treasury was the stalactite that could drip precious liquid.
The stalactite was right above the flail.
