Chapter 812 Clan Business
The injury to the dragons during the battle at Stonetalon Mountains was indescribable!
The despicable nature and cruel means of the adepts had struck fear into their hearts.
After a headcount, the dragons confirmed that as many as thirty-four dragon lords had died at Stonetalon Mountains. That was nearly one-third of their total number. Moreover, the only spoil they obtained was a horrifying graveyard made of molten metal and dragon corpses.
As the tattered dragon corpses were already covered in the cooled molten metal, breaking apart this metal coffin to find every single body would be an impossible and heartbreaking task.
The two Fourth Grade Great Dragon Lords had to excavate the crater beneath the metal fortress and bury the fortress ruins alongside the metal graveyard. They then assigned an army of Dragon Cultists to guard the site.
The furious dragons tore the fortress apart, but they still found no signs of the adepts. That meant that the damned adepts had also successfully escaped after tearing a hefty piece of flesh out of the dragons.
As for whether they escaped back to the World of Adepts or remained in Lance? No one knew the answer to that!
There were no magical creatures in Misty Valley. It was only a First Class resource site that the Kamala Clan had secretly placed there! As for all these ridiculous rumors, they were only stories that the nobles had spread to prevent the civilians from interrupting the peace of the resource site out of curiosity.
Of course, any resource site would be defended by powerful magical arrays, and apprentices and adepts alike.
Span was one such apprentice adept in Misty Valley!
Span was fifteen this year and an intermediate apprentice. His talent and background were mediocre. HIs father was an ordinary tailor in Stonefield, while his mother was just a cooking maid helping in a noble’s kitchen.
His lowly parentage didn’t provide him with handsome looks or exceptional ability. However, when he was discovered to have elementium talent by a Kamala adept at the age of seven and brought into Misty Valley, his life changed completely.
He might only be an ordinary intermediate apprentice in Misty Valley, but in the eyes of the Stonefield nobles, he was a worthwhile investment that had emerged from among the locals.
From the moment he entered Misty Valley, his father became a small official subordinate to the city lord and was gifted a small mansion with two levels and a garden of its own. His mother also left behind the tough life of working and cleaning. She too became a noblewoman who could order a maid around.
Span obviously noticed the changes to his family, which caused the youth to mature rapidly.
In the second year since entering Misty Valley, he became a beginner apprentice and in the fourth, an intermediate apprentice. Now, troubled by his innate talent, Span couldn’t wait to become an advanced apprentice.
As one of the apprentice adepts stationed at Misty Valley, Span’s daily mission was to patrol the few ‘flowerbeds’ at the edge of the valley. The soul-eating flowers and killer trees here were all low-grade magical plants that weren’t much of a threat to apprentices like himself. However, they were extremely dangerous for any ordinary person who wandered into the place.
According to the agreement between the clan and the Stonefield nobles, the city would send over a group of death row criminals every month to serve as food for the magical plants.
Yet, today, despite waiting from sunrise to sunset, Span did not see that familiar black prison carriage.
