Chapter 1293 - Lady Gloom’s Portal (1/2)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lady Gloom claimed to have a way to send people to Sanctum quickly when all inter-continental teleportation systems choked. She did not immediately tell people what her method was, she just said that she needed the cooperation of the high-ranking monk, Calaxus, and the right timing, which would be within the next few days. The senior monk was naturally not convinced. But under the current situation, he had to bury his doubts.

With the current situation of the Sanctum investigation team, the investigators had no other quicker way to return to their homeland. As the teleportation circle could no longer be used, they had to settle with the magic-powered warship of the Kingdom of Taros. But even the most advanced magic-propelled ship could only fly at low speed in the storm of Chaos. Earlier, it took the Sacred Hammer more than half a month to sail across the relatively calm sea of magic energy to reach Ansu. By the look of it now, it would take them longer to return.

After spending the night at Hao Ren’s base camp in the north of the hills, the commander of Raven Knights, Tridis, came to bid farewell.

The sudden appearance of Hao Ren had completely disrupted everyone’s plan. The beasts planned to search for the alpha’s landlord in White City World. The Sanctum investigation team was to look for the ‘light’ in the wilderness. And the Knights’ job was to escort the alpha to White City and liaise with the royal family. But since their common target had emerged all of a sudden, they had to readjust their plan.

The Sanctum investigators had found their target and needed to return to Sanctum immediately. The Raven Knights had no reason to escort the alpha and be her guides anymore, so they decided to part ways in the Verdant Flats. Meanwhile, the beast guards of Lily would always agree with the alpha and regarded humans as good as the blind.

Since the alpha decided to follow her landlord, so the beasts followed suit.

“Please bring a message to the king of Taros,” Hao Ren said to Tridis, who were prepping her team to leave. “Tell His Majestic that Lady Gloom and I have gone to Sanctum. If everything goes well, the dawn will come—he will understand what I mean.”

The female knight nodded and mounted.

Right after the Raven Knights left, Hao Ren heard a light footstep with Lily’s cheerful voice came from behind. “Mr. Landlord! What are you looking at?”

Hao Ren looked back and saw the husky maiden, mouth oily with her nose stained with ashes. Hao Ren could not help but frown. “Wouldn’t it be heaty eating barbecue early in the morning?”

“Nah. Grabbing and chewing a couple of bundles of grass then it would be fine,” Lily said, waving her hand while squinting at the direction where the knights had gone. “Oh. Tridis has left. She has done me some favor back in Fort Raven. She is a good person.”

Hao Ren looked at the husky—lost and found miraculously after a month. “I can understand how you get yourself that a legion of an army, but not your Alpha title. How did you get that? Did you pretend to be a werewolf again? Didn’t you already accept that you are the king of the northern land and noble of the royal city?”

Lily was dumb but not stupid. She could hear that Hao Ren was sarcastic. The husky puckered her nose and replied, “Arf! It’s not easy to find a place where no one knows me. Can’t you me pretend to be a big tail wolf?”

Hao Ren looked at Lily’s bald tail and thinking to himself that had she not dropped so much hair; her tail would be pretty big.

Lily hesitated for a moment and asked, “Mr. Landlord, is everyone else okay?”

“Better than us.” Hao Ren rolled his eyes. “They are staying in the comfort of the spacecraft, flying around the Collow dimension all day long. I have restored communication with the outside world and told them that I had found you this morning. Do you want to talk to them?”

Lily thought for a while and waved her hand. “Forget it. Battie will nag me. Old people like to nag.”

“Don’t you miss her? You guys are like quarrelsome buddies.” Hao Ren said.

As if Hao Ren had stepped on her tail, Lily jumped to her feet. “Mr. Landlord, mind your words. I’m the king of the north, noble of the royal city, ancestor of the demon hunters, and boss of Southern Suburbs; how could you associate me with a bat? She had even killed me in my previous life!”

Disheartened, Lily hugged her big tail and said, “I just thought about the herbal medicine that she prepared last time. When do you think the hair will grow back on my tail?”

Hao Ren was struck dumb.
