Chapter 212: Search Party
Leceiviester city, Duke Erin’s mansion.
"Haven’t you been visiting
too much this days ryon"
"This is just the second ti and this ti it’s serious"
"what is it?" Duke Erin faced the elf sage who sat down after coming out of the space within duke Erin’s study.
"The aid, got kicked out"
"What do you an got kicked out, you don’t wan to admit that what you created was not able to handle the weight of aiding a special existence and got kicked?"
"No Erindell, this was done by so stronger force"
Duke Erin looked at ryon for a while, "I can tell by your face that you are not joking... how strong is this force you are talking about?" Duke Erin asked.
"an ancient deity..." ryon replied.
"could he be in danger?" Duke Erin asked.
"Maybe not much threat with godeye and the ancient deity with him... this aid was my way of monitoring him, I won’t be able to monitor him anymore"
"That’s odd..." Duke Erin said.
"No it’s not"
"not you... I sense the presence of a dragon nearby... perhaps you are right, sothing must have happened to Reinard" Duke Erin said.
***********************
"Guild master, I just got info that we are not the only ones planning to challenge the dungeon."
"hmph, is that so..." Jon asked while going through the papers on his table.
"yes guild master"
He looks up at the young man standing, "that’s admirable of you Vlad. But we can’t back out, is that what you are suggesting?"
"Of course not guild master, I’m suggesting that we should move it forward."
Jon paused, "co on Vlad, you are not always like this. Tell , what’s the catch?"
"They are an organisation, they call themselves order of the white lotus"
"An organisation instead of a guild?" Jon asked.
"Yes, and this what surprised
is that their leader is the second strongest in the list of the players ranking."
Jon’s expression changed, "I hear those rankers are quite strong"
"yes"
Jon sighs, "a lot has changed with my absence for just one year, it’s stressful catching up to the change"
"But you have changed too" Vlad said. "You are now a dependent young man, I was really scared and thought our friendship was over when you left for the academy"
Jon smiled.
"But I’m still curious about this person called Reinard whom you serve, to abandon your father’s vision for him"
"My father’s vision uh-" Jon paused. "what was that noise?" he quickly stood up and ran out, Vlad followed him.
On getting outside, Jon saw that a part of the walls that surrounded the guild-manor had been crushed but what surprised him more was the black reptile that flew towards him but fell on its way, it looked like it was very injured and was struggling to fly with one wing, regardless it ran to Jon.
"Jon Clemon!!" the black reptile called out his na in full.
’what is this? what is going on? did I make an enemy of a really dangerous person, but there’s no way I wouldn’t have known, is this the end’ Jon couldn’t grasp the magnitude of what was going though the only the that made him scared was the fact that all his life had never seen such a majestic and enormous discharge of mana.
Ben and Katherine ca out, Ben ran towards the reptile and bowed his head, "master Azes, why are you injured?" Ben asked with a surprised face.
’Azes... that na sounds familiar... wait the ...black’ Jon’s eye widened, "don’t tell "
"Katherine answered him with at in her mouth, it seed like she had to co out while she was eating. Cualli, Arnette and Sigrid also ca out, since they spent most of their ti in the guild.
Cualli scread, but Ben quickly covered his mouth.
Even Arnette was surprised, "I never thought I would see one...’
"...A dragon..." Jon finally confird from the exclamation of everyone around this was definitely a dragon, everyone around also fell on their knees the mont Jon said it’s a dragon. The tales of dragon to the westerners made dragons look like another caliber of gods that liked to be left on their own, thus the westerners felt very much threatened with the sudden appearance of a dragon.
But this only made Jon mad, ’what?... Rein had a dragon... and he kept it from all of us’
Sigrid turned away angrily, "that bastard keeps giving
reason to leave over and over again."
"Wait"
She stopped imdiately Azes spoke. ’Damn, what is this monstrous overflow of mana’, her stopping was more of an involuntary movent, it was as if her body was faster than her mind, as if her body was scared.
"...now is not the ti to worry about the secrets Father has... this is very urgent, permit
for causing an uproar like this, but I’m focusing on healing right now, I can’t morph, it will be reckless...let’s talk"
Imdiately Azes said let’s talk everywhere went blank as if everyone was erased within a millisecond. "this is a sub-space, it’s just a pignt of the real space, I did this to get all eyes of us... now can we talk"
***************
After a while of long explanation.
"So, you are telling
Rein is missing" Jon said
"It’s can’t be, I can still feel my lord’s presence" Ben said.
"I can feel his presence too, but I should be able to pin his exact location, which I can’t"
Jon faced Ben, "I’m arranging my thoughts, don’t disturb ..."
"Yes sir"
Everyone was surprised by how Ben was suddenly obedient to Jon.
"So you guys encountered a deity, a real deity... while trying to solve a case from Rein’s father beast taming business, you guys got shot down by the deity which led to your broken wound, hence you had to throw Rein away in order to save him from crashing with you."
"Yes" Azes replied.
"hmm... since you are a new born I guess you must not be that intelligent.."
"eh..?"
"eh...?"
"..."
Everyone was shocked, ’did he just called a dragon stupid?’
"You should have protected him till the end, even if it ant you both had to die, you should have protected him till the every end! Instead you threw him afar off and what exactly were you hoping for? That so lucky eagle would co and puck him up sowhere...? dammittt!!" Jon covered his face with his hand.
’I’ve never seen Jon so stressed and angry, who is this guy... to care about him so much, even more than your father’
Azes expression dropped from confident to guilty, "...I’m sorry"
Everyone scread.
Azes was learning and was getting better which made him different, dragons do not grow around humans but the fact that Azes was able to apologize ant that sohow the environnt he has been growing in has been contributing to his growth what was not known was if it’s a bad or good thing.
Jon was also surprised, he sighed, "we can’t care about that now, we must start searching for Reinard, if we have to go to the northern continent we would go, if we have to go to the ends and edges of the world, we must find Reinard.
