Volume 6 Chapter 152 (2/2)
Kneeling before the throne was an individual garbed in a blue cloak, his posture highly deferential. ”Master, our first gift has already been delivered to Mjolnir Stronghold. Guti has been very satisfied, but he still continues to brood about last time and wants us to give him an explanation for the outcome. Sir, you see&h.e.l.lip;” After he spoke, he slowly raised his head, revealing that he was the advisor of Thor Tribe's Tribal Chief Guti of Mjolnir Stronghold--that mage Emerson.
”The truth of this matter is already clear.” Sitting atop the throne, the tall man spoke indifferently, his voice a deep ba.s.s. Although he didn't sound aged, he gave off a unique, unusually oppressive feeling. ”Return and tell Guti that this matter was merely a coincidence and to not fault us for the information leakage. Those students from Milan Inst.i.tution for Magic and Martial Arts coincidentally went to Konya City to gain experience. Among them was a first-year Divine Music mage with an unusual technique that allowed him to forcefully promote his strength and use a special magic to cause his side's own tamed dragons to spontaneously detonate. This is what produced that frightening power.”
”Divine Music mage?” Guti looked at the tall man in astonishment, his tone br.i.m.m.i.n.g with reluctance to believe.
”What, you look down on Divine Music mages? Compared to the beastmen, the Wavast Kingdom has even more bad luck. A genuinely powerful Divine Music mage appeared within the Kingdom of Arcadia, causing the hundred thousand army of the Wavast Kingdom to be practically wiped out. This vocation which had continually been neglected produces the best war mages. Our men had already begun to research. Guti wants me to give him an explanation? I have already given him many things. Tell him that since this is a cooperation, both sides must put forward sincerity. Deliver the second gift with haste.”
”But, Master. Will Guti accept our explanation? Would it not be better if we grab that Milan Inst.i.tution for Magic and Martial Arts student and deliver the mage to him?” Emerson spoke with slight worry.
”He will accept. We have given him all that he needs the most. Moreover, this is merely the beginning. That student will naturally be taken, but we cannot gift him. He can order a thousand tamed dragons to explode, yet he is still shy of twenty years as well. Even if his strength is insufficient, there are very few with such talents. This is the real kind of talent that I need. Do you understand?”
Emerson suddenly saw the light. ”Master is wise.”
The tall man waved his hand and declared, ”You may withdraw. Guti is there, but you must constantly take note of changes within the other two beastmen tribes. Now that our cooperation with the Thor Tribe has stabilized, we will commence communication with the other two tribes. Beastmen are blessed by heaven, their innate quality significantly more powerful than humankind. They are natural warriors. They lack, however, the wisdom of humankind, but they prove useful. Beastmen are sharp daggers and inciting them to move for our benefit is a very easy matter.”
Emerson deferentially said, ”Yes, revered Master.” After he spoke, he slowly withdrew. When he retreated to the wall on the other side, a layer of dark blue radiance suddenly discharged from the gems on the wall, enveloping his body. In a flash of light, Emerson disappeared from sight.
The tall man's hand slowly rapped his throne as he had done earlier. He spoke up with an inquiring tone. ”Krishna.”
”Present as always.” A slender figure quietly appeared from a shadowy corner of the chamber.
”Who has been sent to grab that Divine Music mage?” the tall man inquired.
”He had been dispatched immediately upon receiving the news. Rest a.s.sured, he is my most capable subordinate. I do not wish for that old codger from Silver Dragon City to grab him first.”
The tall man nodded and said, ”Well done. This boy is very important to us. Regardless of whether he has any relation to that Divine Music Great Magister and the Kingdom of Arcadia, we must have him. If he cannot be used by me, then he absolutely cannot be given to Milan. I find it very strange, however, that after the Battle of Konya City, those Behemoths disappeared off to somewhere. They consisted of close to a third of the Behemoths under the rule of the Thor Tribe.”
Krishna faintly said, ”This matter, I have also dispatched men to investigate. There have been no news, though. Those Behemoths seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. Not even the slightest of traces have been left behind. I honestly cannot determine where they have left to. Even if the common Behemoths had died from the exploding dragons, the Gold Behemoths are unlikely to have as well. Not to mention that the Gold Behemoths in question are the famously powerful Dis and Perkins. If they haven't died, however, then where did they go? Even if Guti wants to order them around, he must still have their permission. As rank 9 magical beasts, who can capture them along with two hundred or so Behemoths!? That is not a small number, and their bulk is gigantic.”
The tall man suddenly said, ”s.p.a.ce ring. Didn't I give the Thor Tribe ten s.p.a.ce rings? When the dragons had exploded, the majority of those Behemoths had received heavy injuries. If able and for an immediate retreat, Dis and Perkins could have exploited these ten s.p.a.ce rings to run away with their kin. Although there is no air within the s.p.a.ce rings, with the naturally tyrannical bodies of the Behemoths, staying in the s.p.a.ce ring for a short period of time will pose no issue. Perhaps because of the severity of their injuries, they sought out a healer and have yet to return to the Thor Tribe?”
Krishna nodded and said, ”This is actually plausible. But, it has already been a month. If they are healing, with the Behemoth's powerful self-healing ability, they should have already returned. This matter, if given to me, I can once again launch a careful investigation.”
