NOVPUBSoon news spread all across eldoria, the war between the mages and warlocks had come to an eventual close as the battle erupted in the royal capital.
It was a draw.
Even with the level 5 warlock of the golden Griffin clan the warlock side still had to come to a compromise because of the power of the sky temple.....though the compromise was on both sides.
The royalty had to spilt the kingdom with the warlocks, everything west of duan city now belonged to the warlocks.
They didn’t agree to spilt the Palace of eldoria but they allowed the warlocks to have some slots to enter every few years. Unknown to them that the Palace of eldoria had closed up and wouldn’t let anyone in.
As for the fate of Leon’s allies, such as Damien and the likes, they had banded together and craved out a region not too far away from the royal capital and formed an alliance.
With the disgraced knights relationship with Bartholomew they agreed to support and protect them if the royals tried anything. Weakening the royals by several folds.
Meanwhile, far, far away from the Eldoria.....
A young man could be seen seated On the top of a carrige bear chested and with a straw of hay in his mouth.
"Finally some fresh air" the young man sighed in longing and relief.
Not more than 30 minutes ago they had passed a terrain called the great desolate land by the natives of elodria. It was a large expanse of land devoid of even the slightest plant life and food. Worse thing was, strangely its mana concentration was incredibly low making the journey harder, 4 months It had taken them the entire time to transverse this region.
"Yeah, so put some clothes on" in the front of the carrige an annoyed feminine voice resounded from a beautiful young lady with purple hair.
"Ahh?" Leon looked at his chest and smiled bitterly. Coupled with the harsh conditions of the great desolate land.....the place was very hot, so he naturally had to take off his shirt on several occasions.
"Shameless bunch" the girl with purple hair sneered, but if she was seen from the front a clear blush could be seen on her face.
Not only had Leon taken off his shirt, Arian had done so too, abiet her wearing a bra. It was still shameful for someone of a lady.
"Ah? What did I do?" Arian looked confused. She was really got so she took off her heavy amour, was that unreasonable? She didn’t understand.
But of course, it was hard to notice a change in one’s own behaviour. A few months ago she would never go half naked infront of Leon or anyone else.
"Hmp!!!" The girl with purple hair sneered. Naturally this was Ember.
After Leon saved her, she had become incredibly loyal to him even abandoning her father in duan city to go with Leon. She had changed completely.
In fact, she was in charge of charting their way to this new land.
"How far away now?" Leon suddenly asked.
"Blood Rock? Quite far" in front Ember responded honestly.
Leon wanted to go to blood Rock as his next destination. It wasn’t because of he had some sort of close kinship to the blood serpent clan, he still wanted to search for opportunities of immortality. However, he couldn’t just start going around looking for every single myth and legend. after all, what he wanted was true immortality.
He needed an environment to properly plan and amass strength to move forward and blood Rock was the best place for him now.
Once one touched level 3, ether in the eyes would become useless in hiding his race, just by moving people would know his race and the racism even outside of eldoria was massive.
"Though, there’s a little town not far from here," Ember said with squinted brows as a few town structures appeared vaguely in the distance infront of her.
"Good we can restock" Leon smiled with a parched and dry mouth. He wanted to have a fulfilling meal and drink some booze and water.
A few minutes later, a carrige slowly made its way into a small town in the middle of nowhere.
"HM?"
Immediately, the new arrivals caught the eyes of some locals of the town. This town was quite small so most people could recognise new comers.
Especially with the sort of luxurious carrige they rode into town. It was too eyecatching even though it was ordinary in Leon’s eyes.
"Okay, Arian you can do the restocking. I’ll go get us something to eat with Ember" after a while they came to a halt infront of a canteen/Inn and Leon gave Arian a task.
This wasn’t even their first destination talk less of their final. But they had to eat at least.
Inside the canteen.
"Uhhh, can I get some Rice buns with squeezed tarki juice? And....grilled horn Goose thighs....with som..." Leon started ordering food for not only himself, but Arian and Ember too. During their voyage here he had gotten to know them very well, and they included what they liked to eat.
"Uhhhh what?," the man behind the counter frowned at Leon’s requests. Half of what he asked for was strange to him.....he didn’t know what they were.
"Argggg, that’s true" realising that, Leon grinned and scratched his head. Yeah this was a new place, their dishes were bound to be different from each other.
" give me a menu.....?" Leon nodded asked for a menu so he could order. At the same time, a short young man slowly approached them from behind.
"Hey, kid you’re not from around here huh?" The kid said to Leon.
But surprisingly Leon didn’t turn around to reply him. He only maintained his focus on the menu infront of him.
"What the fuck? Are you ignoring me you fucking bastard!!!" The young man pulled out a knife and screamed at Leon in a rage
"Ah?" Leon turned back in genuine shock to see someone the size of a midget looking up at him with a dagger drawn out.
Clearly he didn’t even know that he was being spoken to from the very beginning.
However, the short young man didn’t see it this way. He genuinely thought that Leon was ignoring him.
"You want something kid?" Leon asked.
,"fuckterd, don’t you call me a kid you...." before Leon and everyone in the canteen/Inn the short young man began raining down a variety of colourful words at Leon, insults that Leon himself had never heard before.
-_-
-_-
-_-
"Ouch man, that hurt" Beside Leon Ember mocked in a joking manner. Leon was being cursed out by this young man infront of a crowd of random people.
It was very embarrassing. If anyone they knew heard of this they would laugh hysterically. Leon was someone who had plunged an entire kingdom into chaos with his schemes and strengths but here he was being assaulted verbally and he couldn’t do anything about it.
"Well that was colourful, however you still haven’t told me what I can do for you" Leon smirked bitterly and said. He didn’t anticipate to be violated by a random stranger. Nevertheless there wasn’t really anything he needed to do.
After all, insults didn’t warrant Leon to just start attacking this guy. It wasn’t really worth it.
"I’m joing to the Eysil Dukedom, can you ferry me to the region? I have gold." After breathing heavily from his previous rant, the short young man finally calm down and spoke.
"You....."
But his word only made Leon freeze in disbelief, this little bastard had just gone on a long rant insulting Leon, his wife and his generations to come. Now he was asking them for a favor?
What kind of logic was this ? Did it even make sense?
"This guy...." Leon just shook his head. It didn’t make sense for him to say yes, But after a while he surprisingly Agreed, on the prerequisite that the kid shut his mouth on the way there.
He needed a local guide anyways and this kid looked like he had been around which was strange because of his sharp mouth....it was a wonder how he hadn’t been killed off yet.
"Thank you," the young man Bowed slightly then went to a chair and took a seat. 𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝒎
"Sigh" Leon sighed in relief, and successful ordered his food.
He didn’t even wait for Arian to get here before digging into his food hurriedly. Leon was famished.
But when he thought most of his problems were gone and he could focus on his good another problem rared its head.
—Boom!!!!!
Outside the canteen/Inn a massive explosion resounded forcing Leon to pause in annoyance.
He could sense Arian’s attack from a mile away.
"Let’s go" Leon immediately abandoned his food and proceeded to walked out of the Inn with a vexed look on his face.
Problems always seemed to find him wherever he went
