63 The Valley (2/2)
After a good bath, Lucien went sleep and he slept for several hours before waking up and decided what to do. Foremost he looked at the situation in the Kunlun Mountains and noticed that the storm was still in its full strength. He judged it would be better if he stayed here for some time.
Lucien went to the training ground and started training Kenjutsu. He never slacked in his training since he started with it. After training for two hours he decided to tour the new areas that were created around the Charles Patricius: Our Transient Glory by the upgrade in Grade.
Now the entire area of Charles Patricius: Our Transient Glory was at least two times bigger. It expanded mainly in the back area of the floating fortress. Lucien knew that area would serve as a housing area for many Sacred Devourer Ghoul and maybe Vampires if they decided to leave this world with them. Lucien hoped so because Vampires were best at researching magic and technology. From what he heard that on the Blood Island they were best when it came to the research of Magitek.
=============================================
When the snowstorm finally ended Lucien wore his battle attire and hollow mask and returned to the Kunlun Mountain from the Charles Patricius: Our Transient Glory. He appeared in the same place, from which he disappeared.
Now the weather was much better as there wasn't any wind blowing or snow falling. Lucien smiled widely at this and he proceeded to the deeper parts of the mountains. He wasn't going too fast as he was very cautious about this place. Nobody knows when could be some avalanche or another snowstorm. He could also step on the wrong spot and frozen ground under him would crack and he could fall who knows whereas in some places ground was just frozen snow and ice.
As Lucien was going through this place slowly it took him a week to arrive at the entrance to the inner parts of the Kunlun Mountains. The entrance itself was located in a valley, which was a relatively small one. When he saw the place he noticed there were many people around.
Lucien knew that Washuu Clan had probably some kind of camp here. With his telekinesis, he counted all people here. There were around sixty people here, which meant that this was supplying point and also sentry. From the sixty-five here, fifty were mercenaries for sure, because they were clothed like ones. Some were holding even assault rifles and were clothed in various types of clothing to keep them warm.
Lucien knew that these people are just some weaklings at B-rate and maybe a few of them would be of A-rate. But then there were exactly 10-people in pitch black heavy leather long coats, which were similar to those coats which agents of Vasuki are wearing. But this was some kind of version of cold environments. Apparently, these people were agents of Vasuki as they were clothed in a similar fashion and all of them had katana handing at their waists.
And lastly there were five middle-aged men, in luxurious clothing and all of them wore masks covering their faces. Same as the agents of Vasuki, they also had katanas handing at their waists. Lucien could fell from their auras that they should be stronger than those agents of V and a small grin formed on his face.
It was time to tint this pure white snow with some blood.
