Chapter 1995: 24.256 Sixth Violet Star - Who sent you here?
After treating the Dwarf King of his curse, Lord Vega with the help of the prime minister and the officer of logistics. All the resources that he brought were handled by the two. After feeding the dwarves enough food, feeling energized, these kingdoms started making artifacts to lessen the maturity of plants. So the seeds brought by the former elf king would be immediately put to use. It took a week for the dwarf kingdom to temporarily stabilize.
The Dwarf King Garan finally woke up after three days of straight sleep. He might still be at his weakened state even after waking up but after learning the changes brought by the former elf king, Vega, he was delighted to his core. As this meant that his kingdom had the possibility of surviving the current predicament their race is suffering from.
The king of the dwarfs thanked Lord Vega after learning what he had done.
"Thank you for saving, Lord Vega," said Dwarf King Garan.
The former elf king, Vega responded, "The resources are what the Beastmen race has given to you. As for saving you, it will be annoying to let you die. I still haven’t learned what happened on the day you were injured."
Upon recalling the last time the ruler’s meeting had happened, Dwarf King Garan’s face turned gloomy and full of murderous intent. No matter what happened that day had truly affected him so much.
"Calm down. Being too emotional at things that have already happened will just cause you fatigue." Lord Vega said.
The old dwarf king took a deep breath and calmed his raging emotions. It can be said that every time he tried to remember what happened that day. But with the kind reminder of their savior and the representative of the beastmen race, the old dwarf king had relaxed his nerves.
"Lord Vega is right. It already happened. Something that cannot be changed anymore," Dwarf King Garan unconsciously grip the clothes above his chest.
Sigh~
"I will tell you everything that I know. First of all, the one who started all of this was the new marshal of the human race, Gu Ying. I have seen his summoned beast. It looks as ugly as a monster. It no longer looks like a beast but some kind of evil entity. Something that shouldn’t exist in this world. It was his beast that took control of the Elf King Valerian and made him act like a lunatic." Dwarf King Garan said.
The former elf king already knew that there is something wrong with the new marshal of the human race. However, he didn’t expect that the current elf king Valerian had gone insane due to his control. How can a beast of someone from the human race achieve such a feat. A beast turning into some kind of monster, this is something he hasn’t seen before. The truth is much more bizarre than he expected.
However, if this is true then doesn’t that mean that the traitors had the ability to transform their beasts into monsters. It may either be something given to them by someone or an ability that caused it to mutate. If it’s something powerful enough to control a ruler of a race, isn’t everyone vulnerable to it?
Dwarf King Garan already expected this reaction from the former elf king. Even he couldn’t believe it, if not for the fact that he had experienced it himself. He was still terrified just by remembering that the monster no longer has the shape of an animal leaning on the shoulder of Marshal Gu Ying, or maybe this man himself is no longer a human.
He continued to retold what had happened that day.
"Gu Ying’s contracted beast is supposed to be an entity which is a complete opposite of Mythical Beasts who exist by fate. It’s a beast that exists due to resentment, a Ye Gui (Yokai). But that thing no longer has any form and it looked grotesque and completely evil. It only needs to touch one’s soul for it to be completely under control. Valerian ended up in such a state because he was caught off guard or maybe they only need one to be alive between I and him."
As if understanding the part of the situation that had happened before, Lord Vega looked at the Garan.
He said, "Garan, don’t you know that blood vines can instantly kill one’s target. Control it to destroy one’s brain and then that’s the end."
The former elf king Vega said, "However, the curse in you lasted for weeks, months. True, that’s painful but... the fact that you should be dead is undeniable. Why do you think you are still alive?"
"W-What... What are you... trying to say?" Dwarf King Garan asked. He had some weird guesses in his heart but he couldn’t accept it.
"In the eyes of others, a curse from an elf is synonymous with death. That brat might be foolish and biased to purebloods but... Aren’t you the only friend he made? He attacked you which means he was commanded to kill you. He used a curse yet it didn’t even eat your heart even after such a long time had passed. Only the one who had casted the spell can command the seed planted in you. That meant before that fool was fully controlled, he decided to help you escape with your life." Lord Vega speculated. But everything was only a guess made by the details he heard from Dwarf King Garan’s story.
The words of Vega had rendered the dwarf king dumbfounded. He was so speechless that he didn’t know what to say. The others who were acting like ornaments in the room also showed collective shocked expressions.
"However, if what you said is right and he was controlled by the time you had attacked the elves he must have completely fallen under Gu Ying’s control. It is unknown whether he can be saved or not." Lord Vega said.
While still in denial of everything, Dwarf king Garan upon hearing this subconsciously gripped his fist with great strength and his face felt tight at this moment. He didn’t know what he should do right now. His desire and his responsibilities as a king had different kinds of meaning. He didn’t know what he was supposed to choose. Moreover, it was unknown whether the speculation of the former elf king was real or not. Even so, felt strongly that he must save the current elf king Valerian.
Lord Vega noticed that the atmosphere in the room had somewhat become awkward and tense. He decided to let them talk among themselves first. After all, he is an outsider.
"You guys handle the rest for a while. Once you have made a decision, let’s talk about what should be done next. I will walk around the palace for a moment."
He left the room giving the people inside some space. As soon as he closed the door, he could hear countless voices speaking up. He didn’t choose to eavesdrop and planned to walk around the area for some freedom and to relax. After all, he had been busy these few days.
{Master, please find a place with no people. There is something I must tell you.} The Elemental Emperor of the Wind, Greene said in her master’s head through their connections.
Even though Lord Vega didn’t know what his elemental plans were to tell him, he still decided to do as he was told to. He went to some kind of abandoned flower garden within the palace territory. Maybe people here had no time and energy to waste in keeping the gardening done, most plants in the area ended up wilting.
Surrounded by large bushes of wilted rose, Lord Vega had summoned his elemental. The Elemental Emperor of the Void came out of her spirit door and appeared for the former elf king. Ever since the Elemental God didn’t return to the Spirit Realm, that land had ended up in chaos. Not in the same chaos happening in the Mortal Realm, just a scene of endless panicking elementals trying to find their god.
The handling of the Spirit Realm is now being handled by the other Elemental Emperors under the command of their Elemental God. The protection of the Elemental God had fallen under the Elemental Emperor of Wind and Forest, which are Greene, and Tree.
Lord Vega noticed that his main elemental was holding something in her hand as she appeared. These are low level wind elementals.
"Why are you bringing these two little ones with you? It’s dangerous in this realm right now." Lord Vega said.
{You ask these two brats what the hell they are planning on doing!}
The Elemental Emperor of the Wind, Greene, gave the two small, low leveled elementals to her master.
{Let go! Unhand us! We are only following orders!}
{That’s right! We haven’t done anything wrong!}
{They said to find you!}
{We are helping our summoner to find you, human!}
{We already told them everything!}
{You can’t escape, human!}
In an instant, the mood of Lord Vega had changed. The gentle grip around the two elementals slowly strengthens and if this continues he can most definitely crush them.
"Tell me. Who sent you here!?"
