Chapter 506: Just A Mere Empire (1/2)
Redboa could see Glorified's and Asner's similarities from the very start. Indeed, it was a direct descendant of the late emperor. Meaning, Glorified came from the Xero clan. Of course, only a few members knew this since Glorified was very secretive since he became famous.
Flashes of images passed through his mind. They trampled places together in the past, fought many emperors and won the battle. Their stages were filled with blood and bones to reach where they were. Unfortunately, they couldn't escape their enemies and ultimately died in their hands.
Anyway, Redboa was nothing but a strand of will right now just like Glorified, so he could only gave his treasures to the deserving.
Just when Asner and Jin Rou were about to leave, heavy footsteps could be heard. And then, hundreds to thousands of people entered the room.
”Who are you two? Introduce yourselves.” General Xuazong asked with command, ”Don't spout a bit of nonsense or your heads will roll down without you knowing.”
Immediately a threat after entering? Jin Rou couldn't help but laugh but he didn't speak. He would let Asner do the introducing.
Asner was sweating and pale. He knew that they were discovered and there was no way to lie about this. After all, the famous general of Avion Empire was the one asking!
Repensine Ancient King was stupefied when he saw Asner being there. In fact, even Asner's father was pale. The situation got out of hand.
”Don't worry, I got you.” Jin Rou whispered to Asner. He wanted the elf to stop worrying and just answer the question.
Asner took a deep breath and said, ”I am Asner Xero of Elf Kingdom's Xero Clan. It is nice meeting you, Your Honor General Xuazong.”
”So what are you doing here in advance?” The coldness of the general's tone didn't lessen, ”As far I remembered, the empire instructed the kingdoms to remain idle and wait for our arrival. What is this, a plot that the Elf Kingdom created to monopolize the entire treasures here? That's audacious!”
Hearing this, the elves paled. How would they dare to plot against the empire? They weren't tired enough to seek for death.
”No, this is my own volition.” Asner shook his head. Although he was afraid, he couldn't implicate the kingdom here, ”I am responsible for my actions so the Elf Kingdom has nothing to do with me. And to answer Your Honor's another question, I am here to get this scroll I'm holding.”
”Oh?” General Xuazong looked at the scroll and could see the vast power and ancientness of the item. He looked over at the treasures by the snake statue's side and saw that the scroll was the most precious item here. So of course, how could he let it go?, ”Unfortunately, you can't have that unless I say so. If you are really sincere with your words, hand it over to me and I'll forgive this sin. Who knows? I may give it back to you later.”
Asner shuddered. He knew that this would come, but this pressure was too much that he didn't know what to say. He stook steps backward with a paler expression.
