Chapter 1098 - Rhode’s Request
“This is…”
Red Shroud jumped to her feet. She lifted her head in astonishment and gazed at the gigantic, expanded wings that enfolded almost half the sky. The powerful, omnipresent dragon’s prestige was so powerful that even she couldn’t help but shiver. That was unlike the aura from demons that were ‘oppressed by social class’. Instead, it was more like a pure, massive strength as though tiny humans standing by the shore and witnessing a tsunami crashing toward them. Other than lamenting the majestic power of nature, they couldn’t even escape. Their strength and presence were so strong that not even the devils were brave enough to step forward rashly. Perhaps they snorted disdainfully at ‘social class’, but they knew clearly that they should avoid the blazing sun as much as possible to avoid being burnt to a crisp. After all, devils weren’t fools.
As the owner of Desolate Town, Red Shroud knew how massive the aura was. It could also be said that perhaps even the aged creatures in the abyss didn’t possess such formidable strength. But now, this powerful being had arrived and came knocking on her door. This left her extremely terrified. She didn’t know when she had offended such a formidable being. Could it be that one of the lords in Bottomless Abyss decided to head up to catch a breath? But this didn’t make sense. Bottomless Abyss wasn’t a tall building with elevators. In fact, the journey through the plane of existences was usually completed by powerful beings because it would expend a huge amount of their power. When one was as powerful as them, it wasn’t surprising to have mortal enemies eyeing covetously, ready to kill them from the back. It was the same for Grazite. He was the mastermind behind the scenes and didn’t expect to be dragged to the main plane by Rhode through the summoning ritual and eventually be killed. It was truly an unexpected disaster for him.
As of now, the entire Bottomless Abyss was debating as to how Grazite was murdered. It was apparent that he wasn’t killed by other abyssal lords because the murderers would be acting all high and mighty by now. On the other hand, Grazite was cunning by nature and shouldn’t face such an issue at all. From the start, many abyssal lords believed that this was a trap set by Grazite. But in the end, they discovered his death and began to worry about any mishaps in the situation. One had to admit that they were living a rather tiring life…
“Oh-no-no, I didn’t expect the renowned Your Highness Red Shroud to show such an expression.”
At this moment, a voice sounded all of a sudden and startled Red Shroud. She raised the staff quickly and pointed it toward the direction of the voice. Then, she witnessed a young lady clad in a black coat and long, triangular hat standing by the corner of the walls and gazing at her. How did she enter? This place is protected by my defensive enchanted field!
“Who are you?”
“Greetings, respectful Highness Red Shroud.” Facing Red Shroud’s unkind query, the young lady seemed extremely calm. She bowed casually and said, “I’m Stefania, a plane merchant. Yes… this time I’m here to represent my client to… communicate with you.”
“Communicate?”
Upon hearing this untimely term, Red Shroud knitted her brows. Of course, she was aware of the existence of plane merchants. In fact, the development of Desolate Town also relied a lot upon the plane merchants. If not, she wouldn’t be able to purchase sufficient food and water. Growing food in the abyss was truly a technical work.
Gazing at Red Shroud’s expression, Stefania said with a grin.
