Chapter 450 Spoils of War
They were still dealing with post-battle matters.
The apprentices remained in the tower to rest, while the others went back to the resource site to clear up the mess.
The resource site had lost its value after they emptied the warehouse.
The great battle between the three adepts had dealt destruction and permanent damage to the resource site. The broad stretch of land had either muddied into swamps ravaged by floods or burned to scorched earth. Most of the magical plants had died from the adepts’ shockwaves. The survivors had also escaped from the damaged defensive arrays.
To avoid a massacre happening to their lands nearby, Yuri and the slightly wounded Morse ventured everywhere near Gilneas, trying their best to exterminate these lucky survivors. Even so, dozens of ‘strange occurrences’ still happened on a daily basis. Yuri and Morse were worked to the bone to solve these problems.
The dozens of adepts that had witnessed the battle gave a detailed account of what happened. Almost every single apprentice had heard of the might and power of Adept Greem and quickly began idolizing him.
Three adepts?
The Aki Clan’s messenger arrived very quickly.
To Greem’s surprise, the messenger was Adept Lamure herself, who had fled without even fighting.
In all honesty, Greem might have talked with Lamure twice, but this was his first time seeing her in person.
Lamure was an ordinary-looking female adept with a head of brown hair. A gray adept’s robe wrapped her slim figure. Lamure’s most noticeable trait was her strange golden eyes.
There were two pupils stacked upon each other in her golden eyes. Greem felt as if a powerful vortex was hidden in the depths of her eyes when he looked into them. His soul felt like it would sink into them at any time.
Fortunately, Greem had the protection of Soul Barrier. He could withdraw his Spirit at any time to ensure Lamure didn’t make any contact with his soul.
“You are very cautious and surprising!” Lamure smiled at Greem the moment she met him, “I only thought you would have brought a little trouble upon Flandre. Who knew you were that strong and had such a powerful elementium golem in your possession? Hehe, those old fogeys in the clan must be pissed now.”
“I haven’t thanked you for the information you provided, have I?” Greem returned a smile as well, “I would have had trouble taking down both Sicha and Flandre without your information!”
“Hehe,” Lamure suddenly started giggling gleefully, “What is it? Do you think you’ve got leverage over me now? Do you want to blackmail me into paying you?”
“Do I not?”
“Then I regret to tell you that you still don’t understand the Aki Clan!” Lamure spoke disdainfully, “You could tell Flandre about all this. See if they would care about what I did.”
“Fine. Let’s skip the unnecessary words, shall we?” Greem interrupted her, “What does your Aki Clan plan to offer as the ransom for the two adepts? I hope to hear a satisfying number.”
“With regards to the conflict between our clans, the elders are now holding negotiations. I still don’t know the specifics of their agreements at the moment. However, I did bring some benefits for you alone!”
“Oh?” Greem narrowed his eyes and thought for a while. He understood that that was how the situation was.
He might have been the one to capture the adepts, as well as the person who had created the chance for this ‘agreement’ to come about. However, he was not the one who possessed the right to negotiate. If the enemy wanted to talk, they would go straight to the Sarubo leaders instead of wasting time on a First Grade adept like himself!
However, as the most prominent person in this conflict, his benefits were guaranteed, regardless of the final results of the negotiations!
Now it was just a matter of how much sincerity the Aki were willing to display to ‘improve’ the treatment of the two prisoners!
Half an hour later, Lamure left the stone tower with a smile on her face.
Greem also received an additional fifty thousand magical crystal and some advanced healing potions.
Sicha’s wounds were extraordinarily grave and severe. His Physique was only enough to prevent the injuries from growing worse. It was difficult for him to regenerate and recover thoroughly. As such, these advanced healing potions were a kind of a bribe from the Aki Clan to make sure that Adept Sicha didn’t end up with permanent injuries that affected him in the future.
Greem did a rough calculation. Three of these advanced healing potions were enough to help Adept Sicha recover from the burns. The remaining two vials were undoubtedly a bribe meant for him!
For the next few days, Greem remained stationed in the tower, silently waiting for news from the clan.
His estimations suggested that the conflict between the Sarubo and the Aki would conclude in less than three days!
