Chapter 441: Fawning (1/2)

GDK 441 – Fawning

“Who are you!?” Burt Zili opened his mouth again. As he uttered these words, his attention was fully focused at the space in front of him, his pair of vicious eyes stared at the shadowy spot, and his body stretched taut. Burt Zili was ready — not to fight, but to flee at the right moment!

An expert who could effortlessly freeze a high-level magical creature in mid-air, in addition to breaking into into his secret room without him detecting it, is someone he knew he was no match for. The reason Burt Zili could survive so many years in battle and live on till now, was all because of that accurate and precise ability to judge.

From the shadowy area in which the sound came from, a tall figure revealed themselves. Within the lush green, hazy lighting, that person made their way below the imprisoned high-level magical creature. With a somewhat astonished expression, he took a few glances at the creature that he stopped in mid-air, and then smilingly asked Burt Zili, “Did you summon this?”

Burt Zili who was highly cautious at the moment, took another step backward, and knitted his brows as he took in Han Shuo’s whole body. An awl-like weapon made its way to his left hand. With a gloomy voice, he asked, “That’s right. Who are you? How did you get in here? What do you want?”

“Hehe, the Calamity Church is indeed a really strong organization with a multitude of talented people. This other-worldly magical creature indeed has extraordinary strength. Being able to summon it means that you must have quite the talent in summoning techniques!” Han Shuo continued with a smile. He didn’t seem to mind Burt Zili’s vigilance.

“Who in the world are you?” Burt Zili asked for the third time. He couldn’t fathom Han Shuo’s intentions for coming here, he constantly thought of how he could leave this secret chamber alive. His eyes were twinkling as he glanced at the few gateways that would allow a swift exit.

“Don’t be afraid. I harbour no bad intentions towards you. I’m called Bryan. You may heard of me through Wolf. The reason I am looking for you is to find out certain information,” Han Shuo explained unhurriedly with a smile.

“Bryan? You are the lord of Brettel City? That Bryan?” Burt Zili softly shouted. He seemed rather shocked.

Han Shuo kept silent as he nodded his head. Conveniently, he took out his skeletal staff and waved it at Burt Zili who stood far away, thereby proving his identity.

Burt Zili confirming his identity, loosened up. His malicious and old face suddenly changed into a cordial smile, as he walked towards Han Shuo in large strides. “So we’re actually on the same side! You should have told me earlier! You really scared me!” said Burt Zili.

This Burt Zili carried a strange, nauseating smell on his body. Although he was enthusiastic in is walk approaching Han Shuo, it made Han Shuo feel some kind of discomfort. Han Shuo couldn’t help but take a few steps backward, and smilingly said, “You might want to send your magical creature back. It might die if it’s been trapped for too long.”

With a wave of his hand, a strand of demonic light flew out from Han Shuo’s palm. In the blink of an eye it fell onto the space where the high-ranking magical creature ‘Dejarka’ was suspended. After the strand of demonic light broke into its body, the weird magical creature resumed its fierce flight at high speeds.

“Return!” Burt Zili yelled hastily. Strings of long, tedious incantations were then spit out in rapid succession.

The magical creature, Dejarka, which resumed its charge towards Han Shuo baring fangs and brandishing claws, stopped its javelin-like sharp hands from moving, as though it was firmly grasped by some odd energy. It let out hissing sounds of unwillingness as it fell towards the center of the altar quickly and vanished within the rhombus diagram.

After withdrawing his high level magical creature, Dejarka, Burt Zili gave a few glances to the altar that stank to high heaven, forced a smile, then said, “This place is not suitable for us to chat. Come, we’ll talk upstairs.”

“Sure!” Han Shuo agreed.

After a short while, Han Shuo and Burt Zili of the Calamity Church arrived at a luxurious lounge located in the Duke’s manor. There weren’t any redundant people guarding its surroundings. Burt Zili personally took out some fruits from the seven grand duchies and placed it on the table before Han Shuo.

“Wolf and I have been friends for many years. In fact, everything that I know or have learnt about you has been through Wolf. Hehe, we are all on the same side, so there’s no need to feel so reserved. If there’s anything you need, please don’t hesitate to ask. As long as it’s within my means, I will never refuse!” Burt Zili said with a smile after serving some uncommon fruits to Han Shuo. His manner seemed very friendly.

Han Shuo’s sudden appearance, in addition to his demonstration of imprisoning magical creature ‘Dejarka’ just then, caused an enormous shock to Burt Zili. Originally, when he heard of the necromancy Grand Magus Wolf’s description of Han Shuo’s strength, he thought that Wolf must be exaggerating. He felt that the young-aged Han Shuo absolutely couldn’t reach the heights that Wolf mentioned.
