Chapter 247: Deal with Arian (1/2)
The news went all over the empire. The miners immediately quit the job and, in many places the same things kept happening.
The miners are not happy with the situation and slowly the butterfly effect happened.
This news actually intrigued someone who is far away from Sam.
The Arian empire.
The enemy empire of the Orion.
In the imperial capital, two days after Sam was done with the Metal mines, the emperor of the Arian empire got the news and was surprised at first and was then delighted.
He has heard of Sam. Not only because of the Red rock canyon issue but also because his son also visited the thunder god temple and saw Sam's deeds.
When he heard of how Sam even sold the techniques in the Palace to the remaining candidates, he couldn't help but feel extremely surprised. Because it is not every day that a character as unique as Sam pops up.
His spies in Orion reported back on how Sam was declared as a wanted criminal, how he killed a General, and how he made short work of the major resources of the Dukedom.
He is very interested in this unique genius.
So, the next thing, he was on a Level 7 Thunder Vulture a Pre-transcendent beast, and within one day, he is near the border of the southwestern star.
He traveled at an altitude that wouldn't let anyone see him. He traveled above the clouds and landed in the nearby woods, and slowly made his way towards the border camp.
He gave the person in charge, some instructions, and waited for the results.
Three days after dealing with the metal mines, Sam sneaked into the nearby city to know the reactions and the waves he caused by the Blackwater.
But what met him was an invitation. That is right, an invitation from the emperor of the Arian.
This quite surprised him. The agent from the Blackwater saw this and said.
”We give spy services too and they asked if we can get to you and if we can give you this message. They don't know we have this contract. You don't have to worry about that.”
Of course, the invitation is not a card or something. It is just like Sam's message on how he would attack the metal mines. But this message is low-key than Sam's and the general public has no way of knowing it.
There was a location along with the message and funny thing is that the location is actually a barrack in the military base.
Sam went back to the slums where they actually made a residence and discussed it with his friends.
Sam actually has a plan to meet the emperor of Arian. But it is not now. Because meeting an emperor is not something that easy. And to make a deal he has to have more accomplishments on his side to have enough leverage.
But the emperor contacting him now is not something he expected.
As he thought about it, he decided to make a visit and see what the emperor wants from him.
So, that night, Sam started his journey towards the border of the southwestern star.
The way to cross the border was left to the Shadow mouse and after entering the territory of Arian. He came out in a desolated solution and directly walked towards the military base.
Why didn't he enter the base directly? Because there is no way he would do something right inside the territory of a Transcendent.
So, he walked in, directly. He pinned all his professional badges on his black feather coat and entered the base like a normal person.
The soldiers are not surprised by his presence and apparently, they seemed to be informed about his visit and they even guided him to the barrack he was supposed to visit.
Inside the barrack, there was only a single table with two chairs on either side. A middle-aged man sat down on the other side of the table.
The man has sharp features. His body is sturdy and his robes are simple. He didn't see any luxury that he saw on Emperor Orion's clothes.
His majesty didn't depend on the luxury, rather his aura, his presence is the one gave him the majesty an emperor should possess. He has a sharp and clear gaze and a small smile.
He stood up as soon as Sam entered the room. He extended his hand towards Sam for a handshake and greeted him.
”How do you do? Mr. Sam. Nice to meet you.”
”Nice to meet you, your highness.” Sam shook his hand.
The other party is polite and the politeness is what he gets back from Sam.
After some pleasantries, the emperor sat down while gesturing Sam to take a seat.
Then, an attendant came and served some food, but Sam didn't eat it immediately and looked at the emperor, and said.
”Your, Highness wanted to meet me. May I know why?”
”Well, seems like Mr. Sam is a straight forward person, then I won't waste your time. I wonder if Mr. Sam knows about the history of the feud between two empires.”
”They are once a single empire?”
”Yes, and a hundred and twenty years ago the empire got separated. Even though, it might be a long time. Only two emperors changed since then. I am the third emperor and so is the current emperor of the Orion.
I want to reunite the empire again and I want your help in doing that.”
Sam raised an eyebrow and asked.
