Blood Island, Courtyard, Mansion of Holy Imperial Knight N0.1 a.r.s.eahra.r.s.eahr was a rather tall man in his thirties, clothed in typical white attire that all Sacred Devourer Ghouls were wearing, only his was more decorated with some minor decorations and symbols. He had long blonde hair reaching almost to his waist.
He was holding his sword, which looked like a typical European sword. A bit different from Lucien"s katana. a.r.s.eahr spent most of his free time training in his sword, always trying to reach the peak. You know, that the Holy Imperial Knights didn"t have anything else to do other than training and cultivating.
"a.r.s.eahr!"
Screamed Lucien the moment he entered the courtyard, looking a the a.r.s.eahr who was in the middle of his training. a.r.s.eahr then stopped his training and looking at Lucien who just now came to his little peaceful training ground screaming and creating a ruckus.
"Your Highness, Crown Prince."
Said a.r.s.eahr as he looked Lucien and then they both shook hands at the sigh of greeting. No, every Holy Imperial Knight was formal with him. For example, Commander Nalthos called him "kid", because he used to train him when he was younger or with a.r.s.eahr he also had a very friendly relationship as they used to spar with each other almost every day.
"I have been a long time, my friend has it?"
Laughed Lucien as they finished their greeting after a long time. a.r.s.eahr also smiled, because he was also happy that he finally saw a friend after several years.
"Yes, yes it was. Why have you come to visit me and as usual with that noisy att.i.tude of yours."
Said a.r.s.eahr with a small smile as he looked at Lucien and then both of them sat down behind the small table which was near and soon, servants brought them some black tea, which was a.r.s.eahr"s favorite.
"So, could you already tell me why have you come here?"
Lucien sipped his black tea, put down the cup and looked at a.r.s.eahr with not so relaxed expression now.
"As you know, soon we would be leaving this Low-Grade World and only last works need to be done and that is to annihilate the whole Washuu Clan. You know, I already have Zelilios at Tokyo keeping guard for them, but last time I have fought against their Grand Elder his strength was already around the Peak-Grade Baron, without any cultivation or anything. I don"t want a rink anything this time, so I have asked for some backup."
a.r.s.eahr nodded hearing this and secretly chuckled inside as he has seen that Lucien was cautious and scheming as ever. Everyone knew that even he himself would be enough, but he insisted on bringing two Holy Imperial Knights on the Viscount-Rank with him, and he also was Viscount-Ranked. Even stronger than both of them, but this was a good thing.
"Also, I need to see Seira, it was decided that I would marry her to solidify pact of creation of the Holy Niflheim Empire. I haven"t seen her for a long time, she would be happy to see me again, I only hope that she didn"t turn like most of her kind. Locked in their towers all the time."
Siad Lucien with worry in his voice as he mentioned the last part of the speech. Most of the vampires of the Blood Island just spend most of their lives locked in their castles or towers, researching G.o.d knows what. He only hoped that Seira wouldn"t be like that, they are already enough vampires like that.
"Don"t worry, from what I have heard, she took enough from her mother and she rather enjoys fighting rather than researching, but her brother is... another of his kind."
Both of them laughed at mentioning Dante.
"Yes, he is. He was always like that, with that his annoying att.i.tude, he will bring you to madness one day, but still, he is pretty strong and he always was. And his research about blood magic is best among the whole race."
They talked about many things that happened on the Blood Island during these past years and most importantly what everything changed with researching the Magitek Technology. How it changed the whole race and also, a.r.s.eahr talked a bit about the structure of the Holy Niflheim Empire and that Lucien"s plans created a very good impression at the upper echelons of the Empire.
"Lucien how long would the journey to the G.o.d-Devil Plane take?"
Asked a.r.s.eahr out of the curiosity he held about the traveling through the multiverse.
"Probably around ten years, because we are using Charles Patricius: Our Transient Glory to open special s.p.a.ce-Time Vortex connected to the G.o.d-Devil Plane. If we didn"t use it and just used the coordinates of the plane, it could take us an eternity to get there. Charles Patricius: Our Transient Glory had this built in already when I got it, together with several other similar vortexes that I can"t just activate or even know where they lead to."
Explained Lucien. This ability to open s.p.a.ce-Time Vortex that is connected to someplace is extremely hard to create. From what Lucien knew, that only some peak experts that cultivated Laws of s.p.a.ce could do this and of course someone with some special ability or magic like Zelretch. On the Charles Patricius: Our Transient Glory there were several other coordinates that had the creation of s.p.a.ce-Time Vortex connected with them, but Lucien didn"t have any ability to find out where they were leading.
"Hmm, in the past that would be a long time, but now our whole race is cultivating and practically everyone is at Baron-Rank, ten years is nothing to us. Ooh, I heard that you have managed to recruit two new people that would become Holy Imperial Knights later on. They must be pretty talented if they caught your eye."
Remarked a.r.s.eahr after he thought about two new recruits to the Holy Imperial Knights. Namely Tatara and Arima Kisho. They weren"t officially named as the Holy Imperial Knights, because they still didn"t undergo the Sacred Devourification Process, but soon they would be new Holy Imperial Knights N0.4 and N0.5.
