Chapter 935 - Clan Glory
Chapter 935 Clan Glory
Greem let out a breath of relief when the pure white body of the White Tower was finally in sight.
As the teleporting party was simply too large, the teleportation room within the tower could not fit all of them. As such, the final teleportation destination was set as the massive teleportation plaza in front of White Tower.
Even though Greem was confident that Gazlowe wouldn’t attempt anything too impulsively, he still kept his guard up in case anything out of the ordinary happened.
He understood the brain monster’s personality far too well.
Gazlowe had both the scheming nature and arrogance of a Third Grade brain monster, along with the cowardly and abject nature of a goblin.
When massive benefit presented itself before him, he could abandon all the virtues of loyalty, principles, and companionship without any hesitation. However, when something threatened his safety, he would begin to waver, regardless of how small the risk or how large the chance of success. In the end, he would let a brilliant opportunity slip between his fingers.
That was the true nature of the Third Grade brain monster!
Even clan members who did not have the opportunity to participate in the distribution of such high-level resources cheered with all they had, inexplicably joyous and glad.
The success of every large-scale hunt meant a growth in the clan’s power, and even they would be able to enjoy the boon that came with such growth.
The appearance of Second Grade dragons after the First Grade dragons pushed the emotions of the clan members to an extreme. It was a sea of cheering throughout the entirety of Icewind.
Then, amid the waves of shouts and cries, the grand prize to be shown from the hunt was finally revealed.
Guarded by four goblin chariots and a massive number of magical machines, a strange dragon with gleaming scales and a body over thirty meters in length was carted down from the ship. It had vicious horns, a majestic head, a massive, yet streamlined, body, and sharp and terrifying claws.
The apprentice adepts held their breaths and silently muttered beneath their breaths.
“A Third Grade dragon.”
“Third Grade.”
Only the more knowledgeable of the adepts could recognize that this was an exceedingly rare water dragon.
This time, it was the adepts’ turn to mutter amongst themselves.
Some of the adepts who prided themselves on their vast reserve of knowledge moved their lips slightly and described all they knew of water dragons through magical messages. Adepts who were collecting high-grade water resources started to raise their eyebrows. It was clear that the appearance of this dragon moved them.
That wasn’t the end of it yet. The last thing to come out of the ship was a massive prison cell with a black cloth draped over it, making it impossible to see the contents within. However, judging from the level of adepts guarding the cell, it was clear that the value of the prey within was far above the dead Third Grade water dragon.
That was because the Crimson adepts saw the silhouette of the Crimson Clan leader, legendary Fire Adept Greem, among the group escorting the cell. Meanwhile, the little Fairy Helen, who always followed by Alice’s side, was unexpectedly sitting on Greem’s shoulder, her face full of worry and anxiety.
A prey personally escorted by the legendary fire adept himself!
The adepts couldn’t help but become more curious as to the victim inside the metal cell.
Unfortunately, the high-grade adepts of the clan didn’t seem to have any intention to answer their curiosity. They directly transported the metal cell to the upper levels of the tower.
Adept Meryl stopped Greem at the entrance of the fourteenth floor.
She was here to ask about the distribution of the spoils among the clan for this war.
Greem paused to give it some thought, all while ignoring the little fairy on his shoulder. Helen was making trouble here and there, clearly dissatisfied that he wasn’t immediately saving Alice.
“Distribute it according to the list we drew up on the way back! Reward all clan members that participated in the battle of the Northern Wastelands with the highest level of contribution points. Mary will personally host the celebration banquet tonight, but I won’t be present.”
Meryl nodded over and over, noting down everything that Greem was telling her, before turning to leave.
Naturally, the ones caged within the cell were the shadow dragon and Alice, both of whom were currently sealed. Though the two of them were sealed inside, it was hard to guarantee Alice wouldn’t be hurt by the shadow dragon when the seal was released. As such, when and how to release the seal were both things that had to be appropriately planned ahead of time.
Helen intended to have Greem invite a Fourth Grade adept and use their tremendous power to hold back the wild retaliation of the Third Grade shadow dragon as they saved Alice.
Greem gave the issue some thought and came up with a different idea.
However, while Greem sat alone in his room and planned the operation, an unexpected request for an audience took him by surprise.
There weren’t very many subordinates in the Crimson Clan who could directly contact Greem; this person was one of those special exceptions.
Greem hesitated for a moment and finally decided to put Alice’s matter aside for a while as he met with this special ‘guest’!
