Chapter 230 - The Wind Clan
Deep in the forest.
Several naked people stood on the slippery grassland. The cold rainstorm seemed to have absolutely no effect on these people. They just looked down towards the four dead bodies that were lying on the ground with a pained expression. Rhode didn’t have any respect towards the dead bodies. In the game, he usually left after searching the body for loots and the rest would be taken care of by the system. Ever since he came to this world, he had never changed that habit. He searched inside the bodies, and after making sure that there was nothing he needed, he turned around and left. As for their bodies? Wasn’t leaving them there to feed the wolves the best choice?
The silence lasted for a long time. Finally, a Druid slowly sighed. He lowered his body to close the female Druid’s eyes. He also stroked her hair and straightened her body. The people around him looked at him, and nobody spoke. They knew what that dead woman meant to this man.
So they had nothing to say.
After a long time, someone spoke out. “Don’t be too sad, my friend …”
“Sad!?”
Hearing these words, the man suddenly stood up and glared at the Druid who spoke and clenched his fist.
“Sad? No! I’m not sad! I’m angry!”
He opened his arms and roared aloud. The birds, who had been quietly resting in the forest, were frightened by the sudden roar and flew away. They were chirping and circling in the sky. This scene made the rest of them felt a little dissatisfied, but looking at the man’s distorted expression, they chose to stay silent and say nothing.
“Egret, bring your clan to continue tracking down the Oriole. From these traces, they must have gone to the Unicorn Peak. I’m afraid they are aiming for the seal below the ruin. I want you immediately bring your people to follow them and prevent them from entering the ruin. However, don’t go head-to-head with them.”
“Yes, Elder.”
A Druid replied immediately. Upon hearing his response, the man who was known as the ‘Elder’ nodded with satisfaction. Then, he walked towards the Druid who was shaking in anger while clenching both of his fists. The Elder reached out his hand to pat his shoulder and said in a low tone.
“Calm down, Vulture, my friend. Anger can’t bring her back alive. We also suffer the same loss as you do, just rest assured. We will avenge her. Our companions’ deaths won’t be in vain. Our Storm Clan will surely destroy those who try to destroy us. Regardless of whether it’s the ‘distorted’ or those with an evil mind, everyone will be punished. ”
“I… I understand what you mean, Elder.”
Hearing the Elder’s words, he lifted up his head. His eyes were filled with anger.
“But, I beg you, please let me join Egret’s team. I want to kill the person who killed my loved one myself. I promise that I won’t disobey your order. I only… I only want to know… who killed my lover!”
Having said that, the man seemed to have gotten more emotional
“Elder, please agree to my request; I promise there won’t be any problem.”
“This…”
Hearing the man’s words, the Elder hesitated. After thinking of a while, the Elder shook his head in the end.
“I can’t agree to your request, Vulture.”
“Elder!?”
Hearing this sentence, the man stepped forward as if he wanted to say something. But soon, he looked towards the Elder’s hand, which was holding his right shoulder, in surprise.
“I understand your feelings, Vulture. I have always thought of her as my daughter. I know you are angry, but do you think I am not? I swear to the Holy Spirit above: I really want to kill the person who killed her immediately and let him taste my fury! But I can’t do that now. Because I’m afraid; I’m afraid that once I find that person, I won’t be able to contain my anger and end up attacking him. I don’t have this confidence. That’s why the only thing I can do now is to wait for news and hold my anger until the time for revenge comes… Do you understand now?”
“… Yes, Elder.”
Hearing the Elder words, the man looked bitter and answered.
“I… understand.”
“Very good.”
Hearing the man answer, the Elder released the man’s right shoulder. He clenched his fist and lifted it into the air.
“My companions, my friends! No one can ever go back after killing the people of our Storm clan. We will let them die under the Unicorn’s Peak! But we can not forget our mission—we must not let anger cloud our mind. We must catch the Oriole to end the curse of our clan! Now… ”
The Elder waved his right hand.
“Let’s go!”
