Chapter 372 The Disaster That Was Wrought In Sloria [Part 3]

Northern was not sure what else they were doing. But they were not here at all, they were not laying hidden somewhere.

The only person that was here was Raven.

Which meant she had stubbornly insisted that they do not follow her even though she was walking straight into the enemy's camp.

Northern could easily picture that about her.

She probably had resolved herself to die if the need be. Of course, the Raven he knew was equally resolved not to die in a place like this.

'I wonder what it is exactly that drives her...'

How she is able to keep a different view from everybody and work towards the good of everyone, even though it was clearly careless and full of flaws, amazed him.

And at the same time only made his hatred for her grow even more.

'She does not know when to just stop.'

She had probably come here to recruit.

By now, it was clear that Raven's plan was to fight all four cardinal rifts.

If she'd be doing that she'd need allies, strong ones. While the drifters in Lotheliwan were strong, they were watered down compared to what Sloria stronghold had to offer.

Which was why she probably came here to meet Afkon, despite the animosity between both of them.

They must have made a bet.

And Raven must have something that she knows Afkon would never see coming.

And Northern felt he had an idea of what it was. Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com

Just as Northern thought about it, the young dark-haired lady summoned something into her hands.

Northern sighed immediately.

"Of course..."

She raised up her hand, clasped within her grip was a small bottle, like a potion bottle but with a black body and golden engravings.

'That is the teardrop? Quite uncomely for a flood.'

Raven spoke, raising her voice higher.

"This is the answer that you all have probably been looking for. A sure way to get in and out of Luinngard."

Since she wouldn't usually just say it.

She took a deep breath and looked around confidently as she continued.

"It doesn't matter if you refuse to believe me but this is it. This is the item that the past Kings found out about. The force of flooding from this item is enough to break the mighty walls of Luinngard. Destroy their city and is the perfect cover to steal as many ships as we need to."

Afkon's posture seemed to straighten up slightly as she spoke. It was a slight change only someone like Northern whose focus was more on Afkon than anyone would notice.

His expression from before slowly faded.

'Raven is wrong?'

He frowned slightly.

Perhaps there was something Raven was not considering that he knew about.

Which meant...

'This guy actually does know about it all...'

Afkon by his posture and gesture definitely knew more than anyone about this Desolation and whatever role Luinngard was playing in it.

And he was refusing to let up that information.

'I wish she'd just talk about the underlying reasons she had spoken about earlier.'

Because he had been specifically confused and consistently questioned, why the hell Luinngard would not open their gate to help the people in need.

For over twenty years!

That was pure wickedness, there had to be a reason behind it.

And Northern dully suspected that one way or the other, that reason would link back to Rughsbourgh.

He didn't know how, but that suspicion just hung heavy on his mind.

Sometimes, he often even thought, maybe all this Desolation, everything happening to them right now was man implemented... enforced.

It couldn't be right?

They wouldn't be so crazy that they would jeopardize two countries, civilizations?

Right?

Northern honestly wanted to believe that they wouldn't be.

Because for what purpose would it serve?
