ELECTUS

Explained Eric and suddenly noticed that everyone was looking at him. He didn"t say anything until now since this topic started but he sealed the conversation.

This topic is fresh, meaning everyone overlooked the fact that you can"t just freely go in to Crutal Kingdom with one hundred ignite gems on your back.

Everyone was shocked for Eric to notice this first because this level of being insightful did not meet the previous Eric who was mostly dumb but curious.

"How did we overlook a detail like that?

The boy is right."

Said Stefan while rubbing the back of his head.

"If i may suggest, there are farms out of the Kingdom"s protection. Since Crutal Kingdom is our closest option that we can not use, we might as well just use the Farms near it. More swift, less attention."

Explained Eric in detail but he could not help but notice that everyone is looking with shock at him again.

"Dear source of fire he got possessed by a demon."

Said Mogranius and a second after he tackled Eric down and held him down while yelling

"Eric can you hear me? Fight the demon. Fight the demon." while occasionally throwing a couple of slaps.

Rather funny to watch. But Mogranius got dragged away by Commander Alia who grabbed his black robe around the neck area and seemed to be lifting him above the ground with one hard. Holding him like a gold piece.

She proceeded to say

"The boy isn"t possessed by the demon.

How can i put this in to words that even a moron would understand…"

"Oh please doo."

Said Mogranius a second before he was dropped at the ground. But stood up again in a blink of an eye as if nothing happened.

"See the crown isn"t just for show. There are two things to remember about this crown.

The first thing to remember is that this crown is obviously heavily magically enchanted.

Apart from the true Golden Blood, no one can wear it and no one including Eric can remove the crown from his head no matter how hard you try."

Explained Commander Alia and afterwards added

"The Second less important feature of the crown is the minimal ability it blesses you with.

For example if Eric lacked several perks like paying attention, being insightful, being less irritating, etc.(No offense). The Crown only seeks out what you lack the most and gives it a minimal boost. Explaining the Change of Eric being more insightful.

Does that make sense?"

After finis.h.i.+ng her sentence she saw everyone either scratching their head, counting with their fingers or at Mograniuses case, looking at Commander Alia with love and saying

"She is so smart."

Only Stefan seemed to have understood everything and seemed to be appreciating the power.

"Wonderful explanation but cutting back to the case. Eric"s idea is our best option. There are several farms out of the Kingdom"s protection. Meaning they aren"t big fans of the Kingdom. Giving us advantages as they would help us keep a low profile."

Said Stefan while practically arguing with himself and continued

"But one more issue, Could we possibly carry One Hundred Ignite Gems alone? It isn"t exactly a short walk to reach Crutal Kingdom."

"Yes we can. Because i"m coming with you."

Said Commander Alia with a firm a.s.suring tone.

"Would that be a good idea? All we need is four people really. And the group already has four people. Not to forget BlackWind."

Added Eric in concern.

"Woldemir needs to stay here and train the Guards. Training needs to start as soon as possible. As for me, i can"t be told apart from an ignite as long as i cover my head with a hood."

Replied Commander Alia and added

"Besides if we get attacked, i"m not helpless. Neither are two Expert Fire Wizards."

"Brains make up for my lack of fighting skill. If it wasn"t for my brain you would be punching your way to death."

Said Steffan practically mocking them.

"I"m sure most of you need to fall asleep again. We attacked you in the middle of the night and dawn broke a couple of hours ago.

Let me escort you to your rooms and we will talk plans later."

Said Commander Alia.

The Gang was send down a cave not to deep in and Eric was sent to his throne room which wasn"t to far away either. The Throne room included a bedroom and much more down the tunnels.

Undoubtedly the rough skinned Calidum Lutum didn"t need soft beds to sleep in. Some slept on animal fur while some prefer rough stone. A bit bizarre but the Calidum Lutum had far different features from the Ignites, ill.u.s.tratios or any race in that matter. Making their different choices acceptable.

But due to that, there wasn"t a lack of animal fur to sleep on. Meaning none of the Gang had to sleep on Hard rock.

But as soon as Eric fell asleep, countless nightmares were to follow.

First he saw his father being beheaded by an ill.u.s.tratio in front of his eyes. After that he saw what appeared to be his mother, burning down in ashes and flames. Soon after he saw the Calidum Lutum Guard being shot down again.

Dream after dream each one got worse.

But the last dream that woke him up from the rough nightmare was a scene where Woldemir, Mogranius, Stefan and Commander Alia were looking at Eric. Each of them expecting him to act like the hero he is supposed to be and shortly after Fire burning all four of them as Eric cowarded out. And King Xakro ill.u.s.tratio lll appearing to finish him off.
