Black Forest, Dark Water Port
“Hamilton, tell us in detail what happened at the tundra. Tell us all so we can be prepared.”
There was a castle beside the port. A group was in a meeting inside the castle’s main hall. That sentence was from High Elf Prince Mordena to the Inferno Warrior.
Hamilton wasn’t happy about Mordena’s commanding tone. However, he’d experienced the power of Firuman’s top figures and didn’t dare act too proudly now. He shrugged and started with meeting the Red Dragon Queen’s group. He continued with the extreme north, meeting the protector, and everything else.
At the end, he said, “I quit at the mountain. There were too many opponents, and they were all Magicians. I wasn’t their match alone. Afterwards, I stayed outside to observe. In the end, I only saw one person walk out unharmed. It was the Ferde lord.”
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Of the Magicians that Hamilton had mentioned, only the Ferde lord and the Red Dragon Queen were well-known. The others, like the dwarf and Light and Dark Magicians, were unheard of to most of the people present.
The only one who knew everyone was High Elf Prince Mordena. He was also the most shaken. Every time Hamilton described one of them, he would subconsciously tap the table, his brows furrowing.
“Your Highness, do you know them?” asked Lawndale, head of the Dark Elf Magicians.
After that battle at the Orida Fortress two years ago, the Dark Elves had lost their elites and suffered great losses. They’d become a second-class race now, almost becoming servants to the Agatha Nagas. Lawndale was a Level-9 Magician, but he didn’t have much confidence when he spoke. He was very quiet and even bowed slightly to Mordena to show respect.
Molina and the others also looked to Mordena, waiting for him to explain.
Mordena nodded. “I’ve indeed heard of them. Perhaps you think that the Red Dragon Queen and Ferde lord are figures from legends. But I think that the other three Magicians all have comparable strength, especially the Light and Dark Magicians. They are the most mysterious. They’re behind many of the large events throughout the centuries.”
Hearing this, everyone exchanged glances. Then they thought of something else. They were all absolute powerhouses, but only the Ferde lord was unharmed in the end. Where did they all go?
Here, Mordena got an idea and asked, “Hamilton, you said you saw the Ferde lord walk out alone in the end but don’t know what happened exactly. This doesn’t mean he really got the key to the Book of Creation.”
“Yes, but that’s most likely what happened.”
This also meant that it wasn’t certain. Mordena relaxed slightly. To be honest, if the Ferde lord really got the so-called Book of Creation fragment, he wouldn’t know what to do.
Since it wasn’t certain, he had to figure out what had really happened and then decide what the Isle of Dawn should do. Of course, he couldn’t say what he was thinking. He decided to delay them first.
“No matter what, the Ferde lord’s threat is obvious,” he said. “I think it’s time for us to ally against him. How about we discuss the specific conditions of our alliance?”
Molina and the others obviously agreed. After that, they started discussing the specifics of their cooperation. Both sides fought for their own interests and haggled over every detail. Prince Mordena was the most difficult.
After arguing from morning to night, the agreement only had a few conditions. Something so important obviously couldn’t be completed in a day. They weren’t in a hurry either. After agreeing to continue tomorrow, they all went to rest.
Mordena and the two Inferno Warriors happened to go the same way.
On the road, Mordena cast a Soundproof Barrier and asked caringly, “I heard that you two were hurt. How are your injuries now?”
The two Warriors weren’t stupid. Exchanging glances, Hamilton asked, “Your Highness, please speak straightforwardly. The saint had told us to do everything to help you.”
“I see.” Mordena chuckled awkwardly. “I want you to go to Ferde and get some information. I must know if he got the fragment or not. This pertains to my race’s strategy. I must know clearly.”
Noa was unhappy at this. “We heard what had happened with rescuing Katyusha. Ferde is very dangerous. Your Highness, are you sending us to die?”
Mordena shook his head quickly. “No, no, of course not. The mission is a bit dangerous, but we’ve prepared well for you.”
As he spoke, he took out a scroll. Unfurling it, he revealed a map.
