Chapter 121 - 067. New Fate (2/2)
“No, that’s not it, my lord Only Lady Tina and myself wish to accompany you, that’s all And I’d like to find a suitable land that can serve as these people’s new hoel finds us too much of a bother, then…” Damon lowered his head and finished the rest of his sentence “…We won’t mind it even if you decide to discard us there”
Those wordstheir help, he couldn’t bring hirunted and replied “Well, if we’re going on our separate hen the right time comes, then it doesn’t matter to me one way or the other What about you? What will you do?”
Tina jumped up in surprise and hurriedly nodded her head “Y-yes! As long as I’el…!”
The boy could only smack his lips at her reply
(TL: In 1st person POV)
There wasn’t much information to be found within the Black Order’s temple Sure, there were slaves here with all sorts of occupations, but they had been cut off froh, I did expect so like this
That special envoy took e, then Nasus the Lich perforht me here
The Chaos Plan of the Black Order should’ve been launched in the meantime, and that would have prompted Aslan’s army to make its move, too
In that case, there were three possible outcoion was lost and the war did break out within the Theocratic Eh the border and the war broke out on its own territory instead
If it’s none of the above, then the two nations were in the es
I finished organising hts and then drank some water fro down on round beloas dry and barren while winds of sand constantly blew around and made me furrow my brows
Seventy percent of Aslan’s territory was a barren wasteland, while the rest thirty were arid deserts Meaning, this whole country was one giant land of death
The landscape of the kingdo dey, rather than divinity or Mana
“Man, just how e or a city?”
It had been over a week since we began wandering on this barren land on the backs of camels It was only obvious that I’d be exhausted by now
“We also do not know exactly where this place is…”
“I’ his head while Tina was apologising to me as her ears visibly drooped
I could only s to blaed to the te told where it was located
“What about the slaves, though? Are they going to be alright?”
“Ah, yes, they will be Before beco slaves, they used to dedicate themselves in various professions, after all”
Some of them were servants of nobles, while some worked as mercenaries and soldiers; some others used to be farmers or hunters, while one or tere apparently even apothecaries
Coht noas basically paradise, they said
“Even if other Necromancers suddenly show up there, they shouldn’t be able to oppress the slaves or try to take the environ an army over, they surely wouldn’t want to take on the risk of taking the slaves away Of course, it’s not as if there are no dangers to worry about, so I believe it’ll be for the best to find a place for them as soon as possible”
Damon patiently explained tothere were more than seven hundred slaves Even if Necromancers happened to show up, they wouldn’t exactly want to test the temper of the recently-freed slaves
We continued traversing the uneven and hostile terrain on either foot or on top of the caly hot, but the sun’s rays were also unforgiving enough to scorch one’s skin if exposed for too long On the other hand, bone-chilling coldness descended during the nighttime So cold, in fact, warm breaths leaked out of my mouth as if ere in theto see why Aslan is drooling over the Theocratic Eht, they probably were desperate to acquire the verdant fields beyond the border You know, the chosen, blessed land where the days hile the nights were refreshi+ngly cool That place
While ereus, we heard a screaht fluster “What was that?”
Tina flinched a little and leaned in towards the sound’s direction
“Sounds like a human to me” As soon as she said that, Tina reflexively covered her el”
“I told you, it’s fine not to use formal speech with me”
“But…”
“I feel better when you don’t, okay? Besides all that You said it’s a hu her ears with her hands and closing her eyes “Humans, and there are sounds of Orcs as well They are currently fighting”
I thought that the desert’s sand-filled winds would simply drown out all the other noises, but Tina with her Elf traits see rather clearly
I stared at Dae or a city?”
“My lord, I fear that’s too much of an ask Both our water and food reserves will soon run out, and when that happens, on’t have a choice but to return to the teain” Damon then turned his head towards the direction that Tina pointed out “However, our story will change if we encounter people who knohere a nearby settlement or a town is”
WuxiaWorldS i t e Only
I pondered our options here Well, it’d not be all that sled up in the business of the people of Aslan, which was an eneo”
…It wasn’t as if we could continue dragging things out like this, either
