Chapter 236 Volume 4 Epilogue
The Grand Symbolist was not sure why, but he had the nagging feeling that today will usher one of the greatest changes on their world yet.
Of course he knew that the end of the Fourth Calamity was a good news for this world, but he had the suspicion that things will change more, possibly because of those outsiders.
"Those brats…" The Grand Symbolist muttered to himself as he gritted his teeth. "I"m not sure on where these outsiders came from, but I am sure that they want something on this world! Even if they are serious on helping us out, I had the feeling that they are scheming something!"
The Grand Symbolist was very sure of this conclusion, as he could definitely feel the ambition and confidence on the eyes of the outsiders, especially the one that "Alex" had.
"Tsk." As he thought of Alex, the Grand Symbolist"s mood further worsened as he remembered his daughter"s incessant clinging to him.
"What the h.e.l.l is even good with that guy?" The old man muttered to himself angrily as he shook his head. "He is just an opportunist! If I am not confident with my daughter"s judgement, then I would never have allowed that Alex to stay here and ally with us!"
If it were not for his daughter"s nose, then the Grand Symbolist could already have killed Alex.
Alex was extremely lucky that his daughter was benevolent, but of course, the Grand Symbolist would not be this lenient.
"If that guy tries to do something on my daughter there at the Blue Moon… I will personally go there and kill him!" The Grand Symbolist declared as he gritted his teeth. "Hmph, with the symbols that I entrusted to my daughter, I"m sure that I can help her when she needed it! So be careful with what you do outsider…"
The Grand Symbolist then started to laugh, as he seemed to have imagined the sight of Alex being erased by him into oblivion.
"Hehehehehe not bad, not bad…"
The Grand Symbolist could have continued laughing like this for another minute, but he did not do that as a sudden serious expression appeared on his face.
He s.h.i.+fted his body as he gazed at his surroundings.
"…"
Right now, all the Grand Symbolist could see were lots of trees standing all around him. There were also some shrubs, and some occasional beast prowling nearby.
"…"
There were no buildings, ma.s.sive walls, or even carriages around him. Heck, there were not even people nearby!
If anyone will see where the Grand Symbolist is right now, they will realize one obvious thing.
And that was that the Grand Symbolist did not go back to his city!
The place that the Grand Symbolist was in right now was a forest, not the city that he was supposed to go back to!
As for why the Grand Symbolist was inside a forest and not inside his city, only the Grand Symbolist knew.
"…"
The Grand Symbolist continued looking around him for a few more seconds before he started talking.
"So you two are already here." The Grand Symbolist said out loud as he looked in front of him. "I thought that you two oldies will take longer to come here. "Hehehe, it seems like getting older had helped you two a lot."
"Huh? Who are you calling an oldie? Do you want to die?" There were some sounds of rustling nearby as two people entered the Grand Symbolist"s sights
"Well, you two are older than me, so calling you oldies are not wrong." The Grand Symbolist said as he shook his head ruefully. "Come one, you two are old enough to be my grandparents!"
"…"
"…"
The two newcomers were a man and a woman, with both of them having contrasting auras with each other.
The man was a middle-aged person with a dignified and handsome appearance. He was wearing a golden robe, which glittered like stars.
This man had a refined disposition, which not even Astria could compare to.
As for the woman, her demeanor was the opposite.
She may be a red-haired beauty with curves that were comparable to that of a seductress, but the way that she carried herself was extremely lax.
Her hair was disheveled like a bird"s nest, and she smelled like she had not taken a bath for a few days.
There were some clumps of dirt on her legs and arms, which she did not even bother to remove.
What made it worse was that her dress, a dirty cheongsam, was covered with wrinkles and stains.
Her attractive body and face maybe heavenly, but her stink and her dirty appearance was a huge turn-off to anyone who saw her.
As the Grand Symbolist tried to endure this smell, he gave the two newcomers a smile as he said,
"Well, now that you two, the Grand Celestial and the Grand Devourer are here, I suppose we can already start our plan?"
"Hmph, just remember that we are cooperating right now because it is for the sake of this world." The Grand Celestial, who was the refined middle-aged man, said as he glared at the Grand Symbolist. "If it were not for this, then I would have already fought you here!"
"Meh… can you two just fight later? I want to go home now." The Grand Devourer, who was the dirty red-haired woman, said as she let out a tired sigh. "Surely you two can show restraint, right?"
"…"
"…"
"Ehem. Since the youngsters have already left, then it"s time for us to do this!" The Grand Celestial said as he adjusted the sleeves of his robes. "Right now is the best time that we make our move!"
"Well, I really don"t like to leave my room, but since you two will go, then I have no choice but to go…" The Grand Devourer said as she scratched her legs. "What we will do will not take that long, right?"
"…" The Grand Symbolist and the Grand Celestial ignored the dirt that stuck on the Grand Devourer"s nails as they both nodded.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let"s go now!" The Grand Devourer said as she let out a burp. "I am already hungry and I want to eat!"
"Tsk, what a lazy b.a.s.t.a.r.d." The Grand Symbolist thought to himself as he started to pull out an object from his created s.p.a.ce. "If it were not for my plan, I would have already left this dirty Devourer! Tsk, I just have to endure!"
As the Grand Symbolist pulled out the object from his storage, smiles appeared on the faces of the other two people as they watched him with interest.
"What are you two looking at?" The Grand Symbolist barked as he glared at them. "Don"t you two have your own too? Quit looking at mine!"
"…Fine, fine. I just took a look. What"s the big deal?"
"Sigh, I want to sleep now…"
