Chapter 451
Chapter 451 Relationship
Feidnan City, Adept’s Tower.
The teleportation array continued to flash with a brilliant light.
It was only after three minutes that the light started to stabilize and shine blindingly.
After a while, the light faded, and five figures of varying height appeared in front of the others.
“Welcome back, Mary!”
The first to step out and welcome Mary was Adept Keoghan. The two of them had cooperated and worked together back in the knight’s plane. Naturally, they had a much closer relationship compared to the other adepts present.
“Hmph! What is there to welcome? I am here to accept my punishment. Oh right, have the elders decided on my punishment yet?” Mary still wore her crimson armor as she strolled out of the teleporter, complaining as she did so. Three Blood Knights and the old fox Vanlier followed behind her. They immediately fell to the ground and grabbed their heads with their hands as they cried in agony.
Mary let Meryl into her room and heard about all the various things that had happened to Greem over the past eleven years.
Alice had also advanced to adept-level and was even the leader of the Witches of Fate within the Northern Witches.
Greem had constructed an adept’s tower known as Fire Throne at the edge of the Black Forest. He was now amassing strength and influence there.
Tensions seemed to have built between Greem and the higher-ups. There were signs of conspiracy in the clan war this time.
Greem was stationed in Gilneas City alone, and the clan refused to reinforce him. It seemed there was more to the situation than how it appeared to be.
……
A thick, murderous intent spilled out of Mary’s crimson eyes by the time Meryl finished speaking.
“I’ll hurry to Gilneas City right now. Don’t worry; I am much more powerful than before. With me there, your teacher Greem will certainly be unharmed!”
Mary was a person who believed in action and acted whenever she spoke. She asked for a map from Meryl and immediately flew out of the window of her room without bothering to exit through the doors of the tower. She transformed into her bat form and flapped her wings as she disappeared into the distant horizon.
Once Feidnan City had vanished from sight, Vanlier braved the whistling winds and climbed to Mary’s shoulder with much difficulty.
“Master, your actions are unwise! They are very likely to draw the suspicions of the clan’s leaders.”
“Vanlier, remember. Your duty is to plot and scheme for me, not to obstruct my decisions!”
Vanlier shrunk his neck in fear after being scolded by his master.
However, he quickly asked out of curiosity, “Master, what relationship do you have with that Adept Greem fellow? Why would you take such a huge risk to help him?”
“He’s my partner!”
The coldness of Mary’s tone caused Vanlier to stop asking questions. Instead, he silently contemplated the meaning of his master’s words.
This was an entirely new world!
It had completely different rules compared to the world he originally came from. Before he understood and mastered everything about this world, its planar laws, and its rules, Vanlier didn’t believe himself able to help his master plan for everything that might come at them.
He couldn’t help but start thinking of Adept Greem as they traveled.
What kind of relationship did this guy have with his master?
Partner? Ally? Or…lover?
The master might seem to be cruel and savage at all times, but she was still a human girl after all; no, a vampire girl. Perhaps it was possible that she still had a trace of a female’s emotional dependency left in her heart!
“Vanlier, what kind of stupid bullshit are you thinking about now?” Mary’s angry shout almost caused Vanlier’s soul to shatter and disperse.
Due to the connection between their souls and the limited distance between the two of them, Mary could sense Vanlier’s thoughts when he was too focused on thinking about something.
“Spare me, master! I won’t do it again.” Vanlier hastily hid into Mary’s armor again. He no longer dared to show his face.
Mary, who was quickly flying through the skies, fell into contemplation after shouting at Vanlier.
She had charged out here without hesitation after hearing about the trouble Greem was in. Yet, she still couldn’t untangle her thoughts on this situation. She still didn’t understand her own emotions.
Lover?
What an absurd and ridiculous word!
Many male and female adepts did come together to become lovers, as well as what is known as husband and wife by others. However, the majority of adepts were often in a dependent relationship.
One of them would be a high-grade adept, and the other would get into the relationship for resources, knowledge, or even influence within their clan. They would live a life of being groomed and taken care of, much like a pet.
Mary couldn’t accept such a twisted relationship, unless…
Unless she was the dominant one!
Mary’s crimson eyes lit up when her thoughts wandered here.
This might be a good idea!
