11 Intermission 1 - Part 2 (2/2)
Thinking that massive thunder is an attack skill can only be described as crazy and nuts.
For Isola and Visser because they were very proficient in many skills and have experienced many battles, that's why they knew how enormous the power that needs to be able to execute that kind of impossible skill.
Except maybe with the power of God.
Alderion shakes his head: ”We don't know, we have no other explanation beyond that.”
Both Isola and Visser fell silent while continuing to wonder after hearing Alderion.
”Lord Prefect, what's that about the legend you said earlier, can you tell me more?.” Clara curiously asked about the Azure Dragon legend.
”Hmmm it's like this, in summary, in ancient times the Azure Dragon was a companion of a really powerful expert that has the power to rival the gods, and both of them together, battling and vanquishing a great evil that wanted to destroy the world and all of that mumbo jumbo....it's useless anyway. you know,..A fake fantasy story.”
”Oh...but i think it's a great story though, I've never heard it before.”
”That's because it is dumb fairy tales, even our own people won't believe it... anyway ...”
The 4 people continued chatting for a while.
Creak.
Creak.
Before the hall massive inner door suddenly opened, and a person wearing a grandeur blue robe with Saint Dragons insignia came from the room while standing near the open door.
This person is one of the Saint Dragons Blue Envoy.
The Saint Dragon Mountains Envoy position is categorized by 3 robe color, which is from bottom to the top, white, green, and blue, the Envoy position can only be attained by Grandmaster rank dragons, and they are separated in 3 colors depending on their Grandmaster level.
Level 1 to 3 Grandmaster is White Envoy, and Level 4 and 5 is Green Envoy, while only Level 6 Grandmaster can become a Blue Envoy.
”My Lords.. My Ladies, the Covenant gathering will begin shortly inside this meeting room behind me, so please follow the attendants as they guide you to your designated seats inside.” This Blue Envoy is flawlessly announcing the imminent gathering.
Finally,the guests start to enter the room under the guides of the attendants.
The meeting room is spacious enough to be filled with hundreds of people, and there is an old looking huge wooden round tables that have hundreds of seats inside too.
Visser also entered the room as he separated from other people he converses with before as he was guided to a different seat.
”This is your designated seat, my lord.” the attendant showed Visser seats which were located near the room door.
Visser simply nods to the attendant and starts sitting in his seats, but he is suddenly surprised by the roundtable material, as he recognizes its wood properties after seeing it closely.
This unremarkable wooden table was in fact created from Florens Wood.
Then Visser tried to recall his memories of this valuable wood.
Florens Wood originally was part of Florens Tree, a tree that can only be found in Evergreen Dominion.
Evergreen Dominion is a state built by the White Elves, this state is located on Evergreen Island almost 8000 km northwest of Dawn Continent, although they have isolation policy, they still permitted minimal trade with other foreign countries, and also allow other races to visit the island, and because the White Elves themselves had friendly attitudes toward others, there is almost no racial discrimination happening there.
Evergreen Dominion is a monarchy and is currently ruled by a female sovereign called the Evergreen Queen, she's a powerful Arch Mages rank expert who has already ruled the island for almost 200 years.
Dominion is also a member of The Covenant Treaty, and that's why they're sending female Saint Rank representatives in this summoning, who currently also flabbergasted as she obviously recognizes the Florens Wood that was used in the roundtables.
Florens Wood is extremely valuable, its flexibility and durability in mana circulation, making it an excellent material for creating magic staff and other magic items.
It was a material that was highly sought by mages around the realm.
But because the Florens Tree itself is almost extinct on Evergreen Island and their growing period is extremely long, thus, the trading of this Floren's Wood has been completely prohibited by the Dominion since 300 years ago.
Now, this divine wood is extremely scarce in markets, and if one exists then its price will be enormously jubilant, already at the level of protected treasure for the people who possess it.
”What's wrong Ostok Vanquisher?? Never seen Florens Wood before? hmph!”
Suddenly, a not so friendly voice came from a man sitting at Visser left side. The man is also calling Visser nickname.
The nickname Visser gained during the Ostia Succession War 60 years ago, when he successfully commanding the entire Astoria expeditionary forces and defeating the Laurentia Empire armies in Ostok Continent.
But he always hated that nickname, never allowing anyone close to calling him by that name.
”Tch...Sword King, can't stop blabbering your mouth for just a second huh?” Visser unhappily replies to the man who was called the Sword King.
This Sword King, who sits beside Visser, is a man with a tall body and radiated by great strength, his hair is long and dark brown colored which has already become partially white due to his old age, his sitting posture also straight and confident, while his armor is rugged and big but it fits with his huge body.
This man knew he was powerful, and he flaunts it for the whole world to see.
Sword King's original name is Raul Jimenez, he's a very strong Saint Rank expert and famous because of his sword technique, it is said that he is the strongest swordsman in the world, that is why he received the nickname Sword King.
He also created the Swords Arena, which is a famous institute that nurtures a warrior who mainly focused on swords, He also serves as the Heavenly Protector of the Kingdom of Valencia in eastern sides of Dawn Continent, where his own Swords Arena is located.
”Heh.” Raul the Sword King only smirked as he heard Visser reply.
Visser didn't have any enmity with the Sword King, and neither did Raul, but they disliked each other since the first they've met in the past, because of the warrior rivalry it seems.
And both men began ignoring each other afterward.
The sound of heavy footsteps came from outside of the room, and people on the inside began looking towards the door as they heard footsteps.
Groups of people began entering the room, the groups consisted, several armored guards, Dragons Envoys, and 2 Prefect.
They began walking towards the other side of the table where the seats designated for the leader of the gathering are located.
Everyone had their sights directed at the groups, and the center of the attention was not the group itself, but the one who was being escorted by them.
The person who was being escorted is a man with beautiful appearance, actually, he cannot be called handsome, because although he was a man he has an extremely beautiful and youthful face full of vigor and vitality that is almost to the point of being feminine rather masculine.
With white shiny long hair that reached his waist, a tall slender body builds without any excessive muscle that faintly outlines by his white simple yet elegant robe, combining all of that he can be easily mistaken as a woman.
Not only that, his beautiful face can even make most women be ashamed and jealous of death.
But this man is a male and there is no doubt about it because when the man and his escorts finally arrive near the main leader seats, he begins welcoming the guest with his deep low pitch voice that is only unique to the male.
”Welcome everyone to the Saint Dragon Mountains, and we also like to thank you for answering the Covenant summons.”
The man's voice is vibrating and echoing inside the hall, although he speaks with low volume and leisurely tone, but still makes everyone who hears it shivering.
They still didn't know who this beautiful man was, and no one among the guests had ever seen the man before.
”Gallard, i can't see his strength.” Raul the Sword King suddenly spoke in a low, audible voice.
Visser who heard Raul started to recover his mind and began discerning the beautiful man himself, after a short while he too didn't see anything in the beautiful man.
Visser thought there are 2 possibilities, either the man is not cultivating at all which is impossible because the man is a dragon judging from 2 glorious looking golden horn on his forehead, while the other possibility is that the man is too strong for people like Visser or Raul to discover his strength.
'Too strong? But how strong he is?.' Visser thought as he tries to understand the beautiful man.
Visser who is a Level 2 Saint ranks himself is still able to find one of the Prefect strength that stand near the beautiful man, that Prefect has the strength of Level 6 Saint Rank.
Perhaps the beautiful man is stronger than that Level 6 Saint Prefect.
'Could it be that this man has reached a True Saint rank?.' a True Saint rank is a legendary rank, which not even a single person has achieved in the entire Greysia.
It is said if the person can break through to the True Saint Rank, they will become a person closest to god, they will have massive strength and more rich purer mana in their body resulting in a longer lifespan, some say a True Saint expert has the lifespan of 1000 years.
Visser has a frightening thought about this beautiful man is perhaps a True Saint expert.
'It can't be right??.' Visser mind starts to become dizzy, and his body trembles.
Other guests also think the exact same thing as Visser, and they also start to tremble too and shivering all over their bodies.
The beautiful man silently examined the guests with his clear blue eyes while smiling lightly.
”i believe every one of the guests here has never seen or known me before, and that is why I'd also want to introduce myself first.”
The beautiful man stopped as he examined the crowds again.
The guests didn't know why, but they strangely anticipated the man's words.
The beautiful man finally opens his mouth again.
”My name is Avarion, i'm the 23rd and the current ruler of the Saint Dragons Mountains, it's a pleasure to meet all of you.”
Hiss.
The entire hall is completely silent, and not even a single breathing sound can be heard after the introduction.
