Chapter 538 - The Path She Took 2 (2/2)

Soon after, Belfair went back and the court wizard, Erwin, entered.

“Your Majesty, the representative of the fairies has arrived.”

“Really? They came at the right time.”

Even if it wasn’t for that, Luke was going to have a meeting with them later.

Luckily, they came in before Luke left for the Holy Empire, which saved a lot of time.

Luke went to the lobby of the palace, where he met with Elven chief Bratt, the Lycan chief Amur Khan and Fairy Queen, Ariete.

“Nice to meet you. I heard from my court wizard that you noble people helped during that unfortunate turn of events in the Dark Forest. This is very late, still, I am very grateful for what you did then.”

When Luke bowed his head to thank them, Bratt hurriedly shook his hands.

“What happened then was a few of hard-headed fairies acting out of line. Thanking us, there is no need for it.”

‘Hmm, he holds back his words.’

Luke deliberately looked at the representatives of the fairies.

If Bratt pretended to take the credit or ask for reward in any sort, he intended to distance himself from the fairies.

However, the fairy representatives managed to pass the test.

Luke, who felt good about that, went straight to the point.

“Unfortunately, I am out of time, so please understand my situation for going straight to the point without asking any pleasantries.”

“We know about it. It’s about the Holy Empire since you are allied with them, right?”

Bratt heard the news from Volga Republic before getting into the teleport gate.

The damage of the Holy Empire wasn’t just for the regular people but also the fairies that resided in there.

That was thy they decided to meet with Luke right away. All the other fairies had moved to the Holy Empire to protect and help their kind.

“It is my work to go there and solve it… I need you to pay attention to the things happening in the Southern Continent.”

“The Southern Continent, are you talking about the undead that appeared there?”

“Exactly. The one who is making the undead is a very dangerous person.”

“Who could that be?”

“Arsene, he was the Meister of Veritas Magic tower 500 years ago.”

Luke explained to them in detail on how Arsene touched the forbidden magic.

Upon hearing his explanation, the fairy representatives seemed shocked.

“H-how could that man!”

“He was the one behind most of the turmoil that rose in the continent!”

Luke asked them to go to the Southern Continent and help the 3rd crown prince Jo Won-rak.

“If the 3rd crown prince is lost, it is likely for the Song Empire to fall into the hands of Arsene, so you might have to protect him.”

“We get that. Is that all we are supposed to do?”

Luke, who thought for a moment about Ariete’s question, opened his mouth again.

“Please try finding Arsene’s base. However, don’t get yourself involved further. Just watch them.”

“You think we can’t deal with him on our own?”

Amur Khan grumbled with a frown on his face.

“I don’t know how strong you are. However, even if you might be able to defeat the Undead Legion, you won’t be able to catch Arsene. That man is sly.”

And if it ended up with the man getting out of sight, once again, everyone would have to wait until he moved again.

Moreover, Arsene was a Lich, an immortal.

If he decided to hide himself, finding him would be tough not just for Luke, who was a human, but also for the long-lived fairies.

After understanding what Luke was concerned about, Bratt and the other two nodded.

“We understand. We’ll look for his whereabouts, but won’t act on it.”

“That is all I request from you.”

After being done with the meeting, Luke left for the Holy Empire.
