Chapter 240
Chapter 240 Conspiracy
The bedroom door opened and a gentle noble lady walked in with soft steps.
“Daphne, it’s time for you to rest!” The lady walked over and hugged her shoulder, pulling her over to the large, delicate bed, “Get some rest. We still have to go to the palace tomorrow morning!”
Daphne sent her mother away with reassuring words before letting out a sigh. Once she closed the door she turned around, only to see a strange pair of ghostly green eyes staring her in the face.
Leaf lightly put the young, slim girl in the nightdress on her soft bed. She turned and said, “I have hypnotized her. She won’t wake up until tomorrow morning. Hurry up and do what you want to do!”
A tall figure walked out from the darkness in the corner of the room and walked silently to the bed.
He lightly lifted up the girl’s nightdress and stopped when her white waist was exposed.
Greem extended his right index finger and quickly drew a strange fire rune on the girl’s stomach. The entire rune flashed and radiated an evil crimson light. It faded two or three seconds later, disappearing into the girl’s stomach.
Amidst this chaos, the lunging whelp sunk his powerful hind legs deep into the back of a razor boar as large as a calf. His sharp dragon fangs clamped on the boar’s neck the very next second.
One large shape and one small one rolled about the forest in the dense foliage. Their large rolling bodies crushed all the bushes in their way into the ground.
Razor boars were violent and ferocious animals, fierce creatures even within the woods, but even they were prey when faced with green dragons. Even if its opponent was a little green dragon less than a hundred years old!
Just as the whelp bit its prey to death, and was bending its body to tear at the boar’s leg, wind blew in the sky above. Sears showed its wicked and terrifying body once more.
“Little Chelsea, stop being so greedy. There’s still a human city ahead waiting for us!”
The whelp was enjoying its feast and wasn’t willing to give up on the food before it. It growled sharply at Sears before continuing eating.
Sears turned back and looked at the two other whelps who were eyeing the meat greedily and reluctantly said, “Remember, don’t stay for too long. We will head for the human city first. Remember to catch up after you are done!”
Having said that, he took the skies and circled the it with the two whelps. Then he beat his wings and flew forward, disappearing past the hill in the distance in the blink of an eye.
Six silhouettes wrapped in black cloaks silently watched the scene unfold from a low hill five hundred meters away.
“It worked, Sir Greem!” Diviner Mas still looked as powerless as usual. He held a staff longer than his body in one hand and spoke in a soft voice, “That little dragon fell for it! We can begin the operation now.”
The shapes cast aside their cloaks, revealing fit bodies under leather armor and cloth robes. They leapt off the low cliff and rapidly moved towards the area the green dragon was feeding at.
Greem slowly pushed his hood back and nodded at Diviner Mas, “Your ability is impressive! I hope there will be a pleasant conclusion to our cooperation!”
Greem’s silhouette vanished in a massive blast of fire as he said that.
Boom.
Greem’s body disappeared from the spot.
Then flames burst forth in the distant woods as a tall and imposing man of fire suddenly appeared there. It roared and charged at that green dragon whelp.
The suddenly exploding wave of fire ravaged the cliff, but all of the flames and the shockwave were blocked by a translucent defensive barrier.
A young girl with a light blue mark on her face stood before Diviner Mas. Her hands were raised high and that barrier was erected by her.
“Was that intentional? He needs our help yet he acts so hostile towards us?” The girl stabilized the energy output from her hands while complaining at Mas.
“It doesn’t matter whether it was intentional.” Mas shook his head as he sighed, “He’s a smart man. He understands that we both need each other’s help. In a fair trade, there is no such thing as someone asking for a favor from the other! It is a fair trade.”
“Then did he intend to intimidate us with this?”
“No! This is only the nature of them adepts. They might claim to be a group of individuals pursuing knowledge, but it doesn’t fundamentally change their evil, cruel, and dark nature. They worship knowledge, but are not humble in any way. Their knowledge is vast but they are never compassionate. More accurately, the reason the World of Adepts is so powerful is because it gained power through the continuous robbing and exploiting of other planar worlds!”
“Then will we be able to escape their control in the future?”
“There is a chance in the future! But now, if we do not wish to forever be servants and slaves to others, we must learn what we can from the adepts!”
