Chapter 496: Asner and Raser (1/2)

Just imagine, their only emperor died during their glorious days. How hard was the blow for them by that time? The kingdom started to decline and geniuses were getting rarer and rarer for each generation. In fact, it became harder when they couldn't produce a single decent descendant.

It was obvious. The ancient emperor was the one who was controlling the whole source of the kingdom as he was only the right one capable to manage it. Now that the emperor was gone, the source couldn't be controlled leading to the source hiding itself away.

The source was very important for a kingdom. After all, it was the foundation and strength of it.

Jin Rou contemplated for a moment and realized something off the topic, ”By the way, have you seen a woman with a golden hair by my side when you found me? Her dress is black with shining features.”

He was talking about Schwal Coffin. He realized that the lady was not with him but he could faintly sense her.

”A woman?” Asner was puzzled, ”I only found you alone floating on the lake. There is no one else beside you.”

'Was she teleported to another point?' Jin Rou thought about this possibility. It was possible. But the point was they were together. If they weren't, he could understand this fully. But they were together, so wasn't it supposed to land them in the same place?

Or was she abducted? Jin Rou couldn't rule out this one too. Either way, he knew that he was safe but he didn't know until when. He needed to search for her as soon as possible or else the Coffin Clan would surely go all out to hunt him.

”Who leads your kingdom right now?” Jin Rou asked.

”It is our Repensine Ancient King. He is our oldest ancestor here. Although he is just a king, his power is insurmountable that enemies will not dare to attack us unless they have a death wish.” Asner explained with full of pride.

It was true. Though the kingdom had no ancient emperor left, Repensine Ancient King was still guarding the fort. Rumors said that he was a very powerful being that killed an ancient emperor in the past. Who knows if it was true or not? But his power was truly undeniable.

Not just that, being one of the oldest existences in the present, he had a vast knowledge and experience of the world.

”Why do you ask? Could it possibly that you want to meet him?” Asner asked as he thought about it.

”If it's possible, I want to meet him. I want to fully say my thanks of saving me.” Jin Rou knew that it wasn't just Asner who had the will to save him. It was also because the king permitted thus he was here. Although he could manage by himself alone, getting taken care of was better.
