Chapter 148 - Artificial blessing (2/2)
”I do, and knowing that Agnes is involved, I can say for sure that, the mysterious guy and the mysterious energy came from one common source, the fallen god itself” [Ash]
”!” [Other]
”Yup, and...” [Ash]
It's a good thing that The First Prince, Fawan literally spit out everything that he knows about. He couldn't care less about what's going to happen to Agnes and those conspiring with him, so we get some good information from him
1. While the old follower were promised angelic transformation upon the succession of the experimentation, Fawan was promised an army
2. They employ the dark guild to do all their dirty work as well, from kidnapping to taking slaves inside the country. The two traitors of the Demon kingdom are also involved but their current whereabouts are unknown, presumably escape with the member of the dark guild
3. The R&D of the old follower and the group Achalasia Externa really are connected after all. They use the results of the experimentation to built a powerful staff, made out of the magic core of human and non human. The portal stone was also the same albeit we are left in dark regarding the method
”Wait? Magic core of what?” [Erinmorlin]
”I'm sorry, but could we hear it wrong?” [Flinar]
”Unfortunately, you heard it correctly. It strange as only monster has one” [Khamishah]
”And Fawan there didn't know anything about it?” [King Estel]
”No, or he could be hiding it, but I doubt that” [Ash]
”That's truly strange, plus, for a Drakon to emerge there and a Drakaini here, could it be a coincidence?” [Qis]
”That, I'm not sure” [Ash]
”And that mysterious energy, it will cause the human affected to become strong albeit with the drawback of their sanity. What happens to them three days later after the incidence?” [Diana]
”Slowly recovering” [Khamishah]
”And as for those getting experiment on?” [Ram]
”Depend. Some being feed to strengthen the monster, obviously will die. Other who are fused with monster or turn into one meet the same demise. Rest is left with permanent scar and disability, but Queen Rinz promise to help them” [Ash]
”Wait, fuse with monsters?” [Gizzere]
”The strange behemoth that I fought, I can sense the same mysterious energy as well as human soul inside of them, which let me to that conclusion” [Ash]
”How did you know about the human soul part?” [Flinar]
”I never tell you this, well except for Diana and Qis here, but I am also blessed with God of Death blessing, so I can sort of feel it” [Ash]
”!” [Other]
Well, it shouldn't surprise me anymore that they are surprise hearing about my blessing
”And the mysterious energy, we decided to call it artificial blessings from now on, as it isn't a blessing from the god or the holy beast” [Khamishah]
”Yup, almost forgot about that one” [Ash]
Is there anything else that I missed?
(Alaric? Is there anything else that I should talk?) [Ash]
(Since when did you learn to initiate the telepathy...) [Alaric]
(Just now) [Ash]
(Sigh... How about what Saint Louis and Mrs Aries is planning) [Alaric]
(Is that confirm? Well, wouldn't hurt to talk about it) [Ash]
”Saint Louis will be going back to the headquarters and he plans on cracking down the Achalasia Externa group from the R&D, hoping to get a lead to Agnes as well. Paladin Aries will depart to the demon kingdom and will discuss with the demon king Druser about the traitors, as for me, I will help Queen Rinz moving forward” [Khamishah]
”I see” [Diana]
Well, she beat me to it
”For now, we should discuss about what we should do moving forward” [King Estel]
”I wouldn't mind helping here as well” [Khamishah]
”Thank you Mrs Saga for your corporation. How about you Behemoth Slayer?” [Diana]
”Just say the usual, ”you better not skip” directly instead of that glare and smile” [Ash]
”Still, did Sir Ceanu Reaves manage to get someone from the headquarters?” [Erinmorlin]
”We still did not receive any news about it” [Qis]
”Well, that, as well as...” [King Estel]
We continue the meeting
