Chapter 365 The Fall Of Lotheliwan [Part 2]

"They started attacking you guys? Why?"

"Obviously because Braham told them that we were harboring a monster. A monster that could understand and communicate with humans."

Northern narrowed his eyes.

"He lied? How more wretched could he be?"

Annette was silent for a few seconds, squarely looking at Northern.

Northern returned the gaze gesture and questioned.

"What? Didn't he?"

She shook her head subtly.

"No, he didn't."

She then squinted her eyes, "Northern, have you seen Mr. Fluffy since you came back?"

Northern shook his head, "No, I haven't. I just came back and came here straight."

Annette then slowly nodded, "I see, that's why..."

"That's why what?"

She raised her face to him and gave him her intense fiery glare.

"Your monster wolf has grown... really grown. And although it can't speak with us, it clearly understands us."

Northern thought for a while; he didn't think anything was wrong with that.

Even from when they were in the rift, Mr. Fluffy clearly could understand him and acted on his commands.

Could that be factored into a level of communication that anyone needs to be concerned with?

"I'm not sure if we are even on the same page here..."

Annette breathed and explained with slight hand gestures that seemed to give life to her words.

"What I'm saying is your monster wolf relates with people on a fantastic level. And responds with growls. That thing is literally Ellis' best friend; it also runs errands. It's a friend of everyone."

Northern nodded, "I guess that's a big problem... but why should the Sloria stronghold bother themselves with this?"

Annette was silent, her fiery eyes rested on Northern, before she continued, saying,

"See, I have never said this to you. But Sloria has a very big backing."

"Luinngard Empire, I guess? So you know about that."

Annette, startled, almost stumbled back.

"How do you even know that?"

"After things went down that way, Mr. Fluffy returned to the mansion and refused to leave. While Sloria surrounded the mansion and were going to set it on fire. They either had the monster or killed it.

She sighed; remembering it seemed to make her even anxious.

"We begged your monster to leave... it refused; the mansion was burning and that darned monster was not going to leave. Ellis was begging it to leave, but it refused and stayed in that attic room in that mansion. Eventually, Night Terror came and forcefully dragged it out.

"While running away from the warriors from Sloria, we found this place; Night Terror marked it to keep the monsters away. And after a month and a half, we were able to erect these structures. Of course, with great help from Mr. Fluffy, Night Terror, and Hao."

Northern swallowed what was left of his spit and clenched his hands.

He was feeling very angry.

Annette looked at him and ascertained again.

"So, it's not like we lost your estate. It was burnt by Sloria."

Northern let out a steamy breath and said:

"So, all of this was caused by Braham and Sloria. Moreover, Mr. Fluffy was almost killed while protecting my manor."

"I guess that's a way to put it."

"Where's Mr. Fluffy right now?"

"If he wasn't with Ellis, that means he is running rounds with Perceival."

Northern shifted his head slightly.

"Who is that?"

"Uhm, I don't know how the guy does it. But he and Mr. Fluffy's bond is on a whole other level. It could even make you jealous."

"So when will they be around?"

"Very soon."

Northern turned away but was stopped by Annette's voice.

"We have more important things to face than this matter. I am planning to enter one of the four cardinal rifts. Night Terror and all of us have been training for that purpose. We have killed a lot of monsters, and thus came the growth."

Northern nodded; his back was still turned against her.

She frowned a little bit and asked him,

"Northern, are you fine?"

"Yes. I am."

"What are you going to do after now?"

"Wait for Mr. Fluffy," he retorted.

"Then?"

He looked back over his shoulders with a very dark grimace,

"Then I'm gonna burn the whole of Sloria stronghold down."
