ELECTUS

Explained Stefan and added

"But for a second there i saw keeping my head in place a main priority. Can you all play with your little swords a bit more carefully?"

"That"s a little bit too much to ask Stefan."

Said Woldemir.

"Stefan is right. I ordered the miners to divide the one hundred Ignite Gems. Since four of us are in charge of this task, each sack carries twenty five Ignite Gems. A fair distribution but considering that i"m the one who is the most physically fit, there is no shame if anyone decides to carry less along the way."

Said Commander Alia and gave a taunting smile.

"Knowing my group"s ego, they would rather crawl there instead of asking you to carry more. But we would likely have to camp because the Kingdom is a moon away."

Said Eric and added

"We should also aim to keep a low profile. I doubt that Xakro didn"t order the entire army to keep an eye out for us.

"Xakro is a big problem indeed. Perhaps it is not the wisest idea for me to leave this place considering that Xakro could be sending his army here any moment. But i need to step up for my people."

Said Commander Alia and with a rough tone she said

"Until i return, Woldemir will be in complete command of the fifty five Guards and also everyone else in this town. Including the Grand Masters. If our King of course approves it."

"Well, seeing that each Grand Master plays a big role when it comes to defending this town, it is best for my father to lead an attack if one is to happen. Not to mention he already is in charge of training Fifty five Guards.

That will keep him busy big time."

Explained Eric, practically already approving Commander Alia"s wishes. And more like arguing with himself.

Afterwards he swiftly added

"I approve of this idea of course. It is well thought out."

"Asking for my opinion doesn"t seem to be in your to do list son. But Being a Golden Blood"s father, it is the least i can do i suppose."

Said Woldemir with a bit of teasing and sarcasm.

"Alright. To much Chit Chat. You all didn"t even notice the bags of which the workers brought here a while ago. Grab one and off we go."

Said Stefan and as he reached to grab and lift the bag, he was stunned when he felt the Bag"s weight.

"Looks like someone has trouble with his bag. How does it feel to be a horse?"

Said Mogranius with a practically teasing tone.

"Well i didn"t expect for them to be so light. Otherwise i wouldn"t of put this much power in to it."

Said Stefan while wiping the dirt off of the back of his head. Because he of course lost balance after realising the sack"s light weight.

It only weighed around ten kilograms.

You would expect a fist like gem to weigh a bit more. Especially considering them being harder than rocks.

The Gang made their way towards the main entrance and started their journey to reach The Outer Farms of Crutal Kingdom.

A long journey indeed, the gang ran from Crutal Kingdom to Lan Zhe a day ago and now all of them except Woldemir are making their way back to it.

That caused a bit of disturbance on their motivation, but what other choice do they have? Seven Hundred Calidum Lutum depend on them.

Meanwhile on Crutal Kingdom, Guard Commander Chan walked in Xakro"s throne room. Carrying the dead ill.u.s.tratio"s heart on his right hand and holding his right shoulder with his left hand so it doesn"t burst out more blood.

"You"ve returned... alive. Perhaps i didn"t make the wrong… choice when i picked you to kill The Electus."

Said Xakro ill.u.s.tratio lll in his cold deep voice.

"I"m only alive thanks to a source bear interrupting the scene. The rest of the men didn"t make it."

Explained Chan and dropped on his knees, looking at the ground, offering the heart to The King.

"You did well….Chan. What about the… Gauntlet?"

Said Xakro as he grabbed Chan"s forehead and healed his wounds completely in a matter of seconds.

"Od enough, the language of the phrase wasn"t written in their language but in Ignite, the word itself wasn"t in Ignite but the letters were.

So i was able to read it and memorize it before i was forced to flee from the scene."

Raising his voice Xakro said

"All you know... to do is flee. Yet you are somehow still... alive. Have you ever won a battle? Stand your ground next time or i will kill... you instead.

However. Tell me the... phrase."

"Azrapetos" it was "Azrapetos".

I managed to read it and escape a moment before i felt lava trembling the cave and before The Electus himself almost burned me in to a crisp."

"Interesting phrase… Let"s hope it works when you use it against the… Ghost tree.

The Electus… I suppose you didn"t take him as a target… I can imagine why and it explains why i am not killing...you right now."

He finished his sentence, started stroking his chin and added

"So… the Electus himself made a run for...it towards Lan Zhe. How could a small minded...fool know they even existed."

"Fool"s luck sire. I smelled Burned lava on the cave entrance. The Calidum Lutum clearly attacked them at first. But somehow The Electus managed to fight off their attack."

"The reward... for Killing that child became a whole lot... bigger.

My crown s.h.i.+nned for the... first time since i claimed... the throne. Meaning, the Golden Blood has returned.

If that Child… Is the Golden Blood, and i eat his heart… That civilization has no option but to obey… me. His Golden Blood would be transferred to my bloodstream, possibly ending the Bloodline"s Curse."
