Chapter 590 - Visitors from Another Realm (2/3) (2/2)

Seeing this, the Dark Magician Eugene let out a humph. “That’s definitely the lord of Ferde. No one else could pull off such a trick.”

The other party must have disrupted the flow of Time power. In Firuman, aside from a couple of the High Elves who had spent a long time studying Time Magic, only the lord of Ferde could do such a thing.

The Mountain Sage Heroto sighed, stroking his white beard. “I had seen the lord of Ferde back in Dragon Valley. He was still such an innocent little thing back then, like a sprout that had just poked its head out from the soil. Who would have thought that he would become so powerful in less than a year? It’s incredible.”

Gretel did not say a word. She was still gazing absently at where Link’s silhouette had been.

Noticing Gretel’s current state, Eugene said, “Your Highness, Link’s most likely heading north to search for the Book of Creation’s fragment there. Try not to let your heartstrings be pulled by a few words from Link when we catch up to him. If you can’t even do this, I suggest that you go back to Dragon Valley right now.”

Gretel let out a long sigh and looked sideways at Eugene, smiling bitterly. “I’m fine, thanks. Just worry about yourself. I’m not the one making life difficult for everyone in Firuman, anyway.”

“Alright, alright, point made.” Eugene raised his hands in defeat. He then turned to Halino. “Link’s a handful by himself. Now that he’s involved in this, what should we do now?”

Halino thought for a moment, then said, “I don’t think we need to worry about him too much. The lord of Ferde is a reasonable man. We’ll try to come to an agreement with him if we see him. He’ll probably accept our terms as long as Ferde stands to profit from them.”

Just then, Heroto burst out angrily, “Well sure, he’s a bloody businessman who only thinks about profiting off everyone he meets. Heck, he’s probably hoarded all the gold in Firuman for himself in Ferde by now.”

“That’s enough! Let’s continue our journey, shall we?” said Gretel.

The four of them fell silent. They then activated their spells and continued their journey towards the far North.

Ten minutes later, Halino suddenly said, “Stop, something’s not right. There are two people up ahead. I can sense that they’re extremely powerful!”

Eugene had sensed them too. He emerged from a black ball of mist. “Strange, I’ve never felt such powerful Warriors in Firuman before. They also seem to be no more than 30 years old. Has something changed in the world?”

He was shaken by this. All this time, Halino was the only person who had stood on equal footing with him in terms of power. Now came along these two youngsters whose power surpassed even his. This was just not possible.

Gretel stopped. She pricked her ears and then closely felt the two youngsters’ power levels. Ten seconds later, she spoke, “These two are not from Firuman. I heard them mentioning something about a saint, the Aragu Kingdom, and a Black Blood Rose. They probably came from the Aragu realm. Link once told me about that place. The Mana there is extremely saturated. It’s probably five times that of Firuman.”

Eugene was stunned upon hearing this. He was now even more curious. “So that’s why those two possess such power. They’ve been living in a Mana haven. From the looks of things, those two don’t seem to be up to anything good. Why don’t we take them on now?”

“Why would you want to pick a fight with them right now?” The Mountain Sage Heroto did not agree with Eugene’s suggestion.

Eugene immediately replied, “I highly doubt those two come all the way here from their native realm with good intentions. Heroto, would you have minded if I barged into the dwarves’ underground capital one day without even saying hi to you?”

Heroto glared at him. “I would have you escorted out of the city in a coffin if you so much as came near the place!”

“Hahaha, that’s my point. Those two fellows didn’t even bother introducing themselves to us, the rightful inhabitants of this realm. Halino, you up to it or what?”

After thinking for a bit, Halino said, “You do have a point. We’ll need to at least ask what they had come here for. It’s just two Warriors anyway. Though they may be more powerful than us individually, we could set up a trap for them. Subduing them shouldn’t be a problem.”

“Hehe, it’s not every day you would agree with one of my ideas. Then let’s do it.”
