Chapter 33: Huge Event (1/2)

Seth opened his eyes and he could feel the strength flowing through his veins. His body was energized and partially reformed.

He didn't understand what have happened on that strange dream, but feeling how his body had internally changed he knew it wasn't just a normal dream. The paralyzing poison has been completely expelled and it seemed he got a kind of resistance to these poisons.

”He woke up!”

”Seth are you alright?” Caizhi asked worried.

”Hm? Where are we?” He was in an unfamiliar room and currently laying on a bed.

”After you passed out, Lilian and I carried you to the city. This is a room we booked in an inn we found.”

”Where is Lilian right now?” Seth looked around and didn't see Lilian anywhere in the room.

”Well... It's like this. After entering the city, we found out that there is an abnormal flux of people visiting this place. Every inn we went was already fully booked. We ended up finding this place, but... There was only a single room left. Lilian went outside, trying to discover why so many people are coming here and to find us another place to stay.”

Creak!

At this time the door opened and Lilian entered with a downcast countenance. She looked around and saw Seth already standing up from the bed.

”Oh! You finally woke up!”

”How long did I black out for?”

”You stayed in that situation for eight hours. All that time your body reacted really strange, sometimes some red lines were appearing on your skin. We thought you were poisoned by the elves since they are known to use poison on their arrows nowadays.”

Lilian approached Seth and said: ”I don't know what sorcery you did but, all this time that girl didn't leave your side.”

Caizhi blushed after being exposed.

Seth smiled and asked changing the subject: ”Anyway, why are you dispirited?”

”I went out to gather information and it seems that there will be a huge event happening in this city soon. All the inns are completely full.”

”An event? Caizhi told me that the city is crowded, what event can possibly fill an entire city?”

”Hm, what do you know about our current influential power position?” Lilian asked as a human being, so her point of view was directed towards the human territory.

”There are some kingdoms within the human territory. The majority of them, there is a power controlling the central power. However, there are a lot of different sects that are formed outside the central power. They just need to vow their loyalty and contribute for the central powers.” Seth told her what he understood about the scenario.

”You're on the right track, however, there is more. Our Blazing Phoenix Sect sits at the third place among the ranks of power, and we have a lot of sects that were formed within our territory and follow us as their leader. Even so, our existence can only bow to the Higher Grounds.”
