Chapter 100: Navr
“With the temple acting up; I think it would be better to postpone the delegation from Harsoth,” said the man in grey robes.
“Or at least sent them to other regions.” He added.
The pale young man who was reading the papers finally looked up. “There is no need to postpone it or send them to other places,”
“The second majesty himself had arrived to deal with the temple's disturbance. He will calm it down,” said the pale young man. Hearing that, the man in the grey robe is not surprised but relieved.
The temple is something ancient, even after thousands of years. They could not find all its secrets.
Its reactions are not rare, it happens every decade and only the majesties have the power to calm it down.
“How many it took till now?” asked the pale young man. “Eighty-seven people. Thirteen of them had returned,” he replied.
It had been one and a half days since it had reacted and if didn’t calm down soon, it will take more people.
“Good. Keep an eye on those returned and make sure it didn’t get anyone from the empire.” said the palace young man before turning to papers. “Yes, my lord,” said the man in grey robes and walked out of the office.
...
“You had failed Dane. I don’t know why, I had even thought you might be able to capture even one,” said Viscount Atre.
We all have gathered on open ground with our carriages ready. I have checked everything and everything is perfect.
It couldn’t help but make me feel relieved.
“I will capture them,” said Commander Dane, but nobody believed it, including his people. “Keep telling yourself that,” said Lancel with mirth, before walking toward the carriage with Viscount.
He had confidential business to talk to Viscount and will be alone in the carriage. Even High-Mage York isn’t allowed inside.
I watched till Lancel entered the carriage, before entering the carriage with Ina. The others also sat and the security of over three hundred guards surrounded them before the carriages move.
Not all of these guards are coming. They will be with us for an hour, till we met the representative from Navr.
Who will escort us inside the undead kingdom.
Soon, the carriages reached the giant gate, and it opened. It only opens, when the undead attack, but if we are successful in Navr. It will open more often.
The carriages begin to roll through the gates, and I could see the verdant hills on the other side. It is beautiful scenery, it would have been more beautiful, if not for being marred by the signs of battle.
The bones are still around and there are many of them.
They must have cleared the ones with the death energy while leaving the harmless ones behind. They create quite a picture.
I was watching the scenery when I noticed Ina taking out something from her bad nervously.
A white envelope.
“Caena had asked me to give it to you after we left the fortress,” said Ina suddenly and handed the white envelope.
“What’s in it?” I asked as I felt the bulge inside it. “I don’t know.” She replied. I looked at her for a moment, before turning to a white envelope, which was blank. Not a single word is written.
Hun!
I tore it open and raised it up. Immediately, the thing inside came out, and I froze in shock at seeing what it was.
I had expected many things, but not this. I nearly threw it before stopping myself.
“Is it a charm?” asked Ina hesitantly, seeing the thing in my hand. “It seemed so,” I replied. Feeling quite conflicted.
There are very few classes that create charms, with one class being most notable for it, especially for herbal charms like this. The class, because of which, I ended up in the Greltheaven.
So, one can guess, why I wanted to throw it away.
Even those who had not been affected by that class did not like it. Some kingdoms outright banned them, while some hunt them actively.
The herbal charm is quite beautiful, woven in delicate herbs and flower petals and tiny branches.
The charm is not the only thing in the envelope. There is also a note; I took out it and opened it. It is short, written in the delicate handwriting of Caena.
I read it over and over for a minute, before taking out the torch stone and burning it into the ashes.
I turn back to the charm and was about to put it back into the bag, but decided to put it into my pocket.
If what Caena had written is true, then the pocket would be the right choice.
“I guess with this. Caena’s base class is no longer a mystery,” said Ina, after a few seconds of silence. “If she is the one who made this charm,” I added, to which Ina smiled.
It all makes sense now. Her knowledge of herbology and strange behavior. It made me worried. When I return to the Greltheaven, I am going to have a long talk with her.Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))
