Chapter 87 - Civil War (1/2)

When he finished to read his reward, on cue, particles of light appeared behind his back, he turned around and saw a square-edged throne 2 meters tall made of what seemed like bronze. There wasn't any curve edge or corner, everything was square-shaped.

On the higher part of the throne, there was a big spheric blue gem, and over that, right over the throne, there was a hilt.

Jasmine: *Whistle* That's the Throne of Annihilation? It surely is a nice throne, even if it doesn't look comfortable on the slightest.

Curiously, he sat on it and put himself comfortable while ignoring Jasmine's comment, and something pierced his mind.

Jean: Ouch…

When he thought about what was that, he felt new pieces of memory inside his brain, it was the main abilities of Sandalphon, both about the throne, and apparently about a pretty big broadsword inside the throne.

Jean: Shit, this thing is awesome!

He sat up and looked at the throne in amazement, before something interrupted his thoughts.

*Knock Knock*

Jean turned around while the throne dematerialized, flowing back inside him.

Jean: Who is it?

?: Big Brother Yun Che, are you inside? It's Ling'er.

Jean smiled, he lookrd at the clock in his watch and saw that it was 22:42, she seemed still energetic by hearing her voice, then he opened the door.

There was Su Ling'er standing with a mild green colored chiffon smiling happily.

Su Ling'er: Big Brother Yun Che!

Jean: Ling'er. So, is there any reason you came here at the 22 of night? You should be sleeping now.

Su Ling'er: Heh, Big Brother Yun Che, father told me to tell you that soon, there will be many people coming to the clan and some bad things are going to take place. When it's time, Big Brother Yun Che has to shut his room door tightly and should not leave for any reason.

Jean: Oh? I understand. 'Seeing how this shit is going on, Sandalphon will be used pretty early…'

Su Ling'er: Mn! Then… Big Brother Yun Che, I'm going back now. You have to rest well.

Then she took a little step back, but didn't leave right away. A pair of liquid diamond eyes clung on to Jean for awhile and had an expression that couldn't bear to leave.

Jean, seeing that expression, sat on the bed and said with a smile.

Jean: Why do you need to leave so quickly? I still want to talk with Su Ling'er for awhile.

Su Ling'er: Father said that you should have traveled quite a distance, and must be exhausted. Additionally, you had some things regarding cultivation, so he told me to leave as soon as I passed on the information, so that I won't bother you...

Big Brother Yun Che, tomorrow, can you play with me? Oh there's more… Big brother Yun Che came from very far away, I want to listen to Big Brother Yun Che tell stories about the place from far away.

Jean: Hahahaha, right, right. Tomorrow we will play together, don't worry about it.

Su Ling'er: Mn! Hehe…

Then she happily ran away, while Jean used his profound energy to close the door, the next moment, the carefree smile on his face turned into a serious frown.

Bad things would happen soon… If he could talk to someone, he would have bet his sniper that the guests would be people from the Blackwood Stronghold.

Jasmine: Jean, have you been in this place before?

Jean: ...No, I haven't.

Jasmine: Then why are you acting so special towards that little girl? You just met her today, but when you saw her your emotional reactions became out of the ordinary! The same thing happened even in the Phoenix's third trial, your emotions rampaged around your mind when you saw those people, what is going on?
