Chapter 124: 068 Ancient Ruin -1 (Part Two)

I continued listening to Tina’s story while feeling rather bitter about it

A short while later, Kasal’s voice caht so on Let s I’d like to hear from you as well”

Da Tina and my skeleton behind inside

I let her be on her own and headed straight into thearound a campfire

However, even I could tell that they were quite tense From what I heard, they were like this because of how so many of Aslan’s Necromancers were cruel and volatile in nature

The atested that this was not a place I should sticka bowl of soup, I wanted to somewhat soften the stiff mood around, so I stared at Hans next

He was still glancing at me every now and then as if he wanted so badly to solve his curiosity over the skeletons I summoned earlier

“You said your narandly and quickly looked back at ht have been nodding his head, but his shoulders were visibly drooping; probably after he felt intense pressure fro on him

They al from the overall atmosphere, they weredumb to piss ued by him

My [Mind’s Eye] returned the results of hi the attribute of ‘alcheic toolprocess

“According to the mercenaries, you’re a merchant and an Alchemist?”

“Ah, yes I am”

“Your wares see once I praised hiullible side

I carried on talking to hi tone of voice “Indeed, your products seeht with you, I wouldn’tsome of them”

“O-of course! I have many varied wares to choose fro poison that will explode, a goggle to detect any traps lying in wait, and also…”

Hans sounded quite excited as he began introducing his products Now that I heard his really did sound useful

“I wish to learn alchemy as well Is it possible?”

Hans flinched upon hearing that

He replied while cautiouslymy reaction “That… will be difficult, sir My fa of our alchemy skills to someone who is not of our descendant…”

“…”

“I-I… I apologise!”

Hans quickly prostrated on the ground

I could only smack my lips at his reaction

Well, it wasn’t as if I planned to force hiht noas to learn the current situation between Aslan and the Theocratic Eh of these side distractions Ti I was dying to know to the nearby dom’s situation look to you?”

I deliberately asked in a vague manner Since they sawto their misconceptions

The thy bout of silence later, Kasal finally opened his mouth as thick cold sweat drops trickled down his face “I-if you’re referring to the war between Aslan and the Theocratic Ereat and noble Aslan is on the winning streak!”

I was a bit flustered by that reply I was initially sceptical of the Theocratic E side, but then it occurred to me that Kasal only said that to hopefully please the ‘noble’ of this country

Damon also seemed a little taken aback by Aslan’s situation and paid closer attention as well

I spoke up again “I pray that you answer me honestly I’m simply curious Iof, that’s all”

The lances with each other after hearing what I had to say

Another bout of silence ensued until Hans decided to butt in “Apparently, we’re in the otiation, is it?”

I stared at Hans

He continued on “As you e of the Theocratic Empire’s Second Crown Princess Consort and the Imperial Princes”

So, both Ruppel and Rose were now hostages?

“Even then, the e doround and created countless refugees We keep losing in the war, and despite Aslan’s continued threats, none of them seem to work, so from this hu histhe Holy Emperor’s personality, threats wouldn’t work on him

You don’t want to release the I the Ie? Burn down a city

Injured the I off the limbs of countless captured nobles

And the Iotiations, then

This invasion would never end until all of Aslan’s nobles and its king were slaughtered into oblivion, leaving not one alive

Aslan’s leadershi+p should have realised that point by now

If they wanted to end the war, it’d be only nor that there was no , I’ the Imperial Princes and the Second Crown Princess Consort captive, sir There’s a certain rudom’s subjects at the moment”

What Hans said just then caused an outbreak of cold sweat to flood out from the mercenaries Mainly because he basically declared his distrust of the kingdom just now, that’s why

This dude, even I could tell that he wasn’t the roup who obviously enjoyed needlessly blabbing ahenever he had a chance
