51 Earlier Than Expected (2/2)
”My help, right? I understand but don't rush. We'll talk more about it.... later. For now, rest.” Naga said and smiled then exited the room.
'This will be tiring.' Naga chuckled and sighed.
”My Lord.” Bill lightly bowed and said.
”How are you?” Naga asked and smiled.
”I just arrived and I went here immediately when our guards told me that you are here.” Bill said.
”Where did you go?” Naga asked.
”I went to the City Lord's Mansion, My Lord.” Bill said respectfully.
Naga nodded and smiled. He told Bill what he learned from meeting the Elder and that he got a scroll about Ancient Prime and it is currently with Old Samuel. After that, they discussed about the things that they need to do and prepare.
Bill was shocked about the existence of two Demon Lords but he got excited about the scroll that his master got from the Elder. He will use it to increase his power.
It was already dark when the two finished their meeting. Naga asked one of their servants to send a message to Cris. The servant bowed and left immediately.
Naga went to the lake near his house and sat down on a stone bench.
”Draxus. What do you think?” Naga asked while looking at the lake.
The young dragon appeared coming from the sky and bowed after landing.
”My Lord, you can deal with your personal matters first. The Overlord Mountain is one of the sacred grounds of dragons so the other Dragon Kings will retaliate for sure. I can go and check the situation.” Draxus said respectfully.
”Dragon Kings. How many Dragon Kings are there in this generation?” Naga asked.
”Three remaining kings, My Lord.” Draxus responded.
He continued, ”There are four Kings in this generation. Those are the King of the Overlord Mountain, King of The Golden Sky Island, King of the Northern Wyrm Sea and King of the Southern Flame Palace.”
”The High Demons...” Naga asked.
”They are the upper echelons and the strongest lineage of the demon realm. They are trying to provoke the Dragon race.” Draxus said with a serious look.
”They have two Lords and perhaps it is the reason why they are acting all high and mighty.” Naga chuckled and said.
He continued after a while, ”Go to the Overlord Mountain to check the situation. Don't act recklessly though. You just need to check.”
”As you wish, My Lord.” Draxus said and left.
Naga looked at the lake and thought about his sister. He checked his memories from this world but can't remember anything about her. He didn't grow up with her but thankfully because of that she was not there when the Ghosthand Gang met its end.
”Boss!” Cris said while running. He stopped when he's already near Naga and bowed.
”How are you? Sorry to disturb your training earlier than expected.” Naga said and smiled.
”Don't think about it, Boss. I improved a lot with the help of Sir Nicholas. Also, he will go back anytime soon too.” Cris said smiling.
”Good to know. We need to expedite our plans and I need your help.” Naga said.
”By all means, Boss. What do you need?” Cris asked.
”We need to secure a teritory and build a base. I want it to be the center of our operations.” Naga said.
He continued and asked, ”Among the villages outside the city, which do you think is best for it?”
Cris contemplated for a minute. After that, he took a map from his belt bag and showed it to Naga.
”Boss, here are the best options for us.” Cris pointed at three locations.
Then he asked, ”What business are we starting first, Boss?”
”What do you suggest?” Naga asked while looking at the map.
He was a previous solider and not a businessman nor an underworld kingpin. He wanted this to be the first agenda of their meeting after a month but time is not on their side.
