657 Dare 2 (1/2)

Dravil sat quietly, observing the man he had heard so much about over the last few weeks. Quite frankly, he wasn't sure how to feel. Dyon seemed to be the worst kind of enemy to have. He had easily gone from domineering hot-head, to the cool-headed smiling man in front of him even to the point of being willing to have this meeting.

There were a few possibilities that Dravil thought for this, but he couldn't be sure. Was Dyon cautious? Was he planning something? Or was he bluffing?

However, what Dravil wouldn't do is underestimate the man in front of him. There were very few who could be in his presence and hold his eye contact unperturbed for so long, and that number was even fewer when it was held to those his age. In fact, even with Dyon's nonchalant appearance, it was Dravil, himself, who felt a faint pressure he couldn't explain.

”We could sit here and stare into each other's eyes,” Dyon said, breaking the silence and tension, ”Or, we could discuss why you wanted this meeting.”

Dyon's nonchalant words to their first son seemed to anger the Uidah camp. With their cultivations, they were privy to this conversation. Apparently, Dravil didn't care about hiding much.

The sons and daughters, however, had no reaction.

”Do you know something about this tower?” Dravil asked after a few moment's pause.

Dyon smirked, looking off into the distance at the smooth black pillar that seemed to rise up into the sky to an unfathomable height.

”Ah. So, you all have been camping out here for this old thing? Why's that? Aren't you meant to conquer it last? Then again, considering you've already stormed through so many of our towers, maybe you were just making a pre-emptive move.

”Ai, it pains me to see my small universe about to be conquered.”

Madeleine, noticing a familiar smile, did her best to withhold her giggle, maintaining her noble aura.

”Indeed,” Dravil responded with a sigh, ”Usually we would conquer it last. But you see, a former fifth son of ours brought up an interesting point.”

Dyon's features showed no fluctuations, but how could he not know that Dravil brought up fifth son on purpose?

”Oh? And what was that?”

”It seemed like a small point, even meaningless, at first. But, the more I thought about it, the more intriguing it became.

”Did you know that despite all of the gates the Uidah have been in contact with, this is the only one with an odd number of towers? In fact, it was the most dangerous tower environment we had ever seen, until, for some reason, the fields of spatial tears disappeared a few years ago.”

Dyon nodded, ”I did indeed notice that. How odd, right?”

”Mm. Indeed.
