Chapter 320: The Howling Mountains

Chapter 320: The Howling Mountains

When Lucas said his bed what he meant was actually his study.

In the mansion.

Rosalind did not know if she should show her irritation or just laugh at herself for thinking other things.

She had no way of knowing that he had been sleeping in his study. Literally.

She eyed the single bed in his study and wondered why he was staying there instead of sleeping on his own bed in his own bedroom. Surely, this house was large enough for him to have a bedroom, right?

"These are the relics that had been identified so far," Lucas said as he opened a book on the table. She was currently sitting on the only chair in his study while he was sitting on the table just in front of her. He was looking down at her while her head was lifted slightly so he could see her face. "The ones that they used" he revealed the relic that he took from the walls of Wugari. "This one can be used to lure beasts. I have yet to find one of these. I believe they can be found in the Howling Mountains."

Rosalind's eyes narrowed at the relic as realization hit her. "Is that the reason why they targeted Rakha?" Even in her past life, the first kingdom that was hit by the tide after the fall of Lonyth was Rakha. Did that happen in the past because some people wanted to have access to the Howling Mountains? If that is the case, they just stopped Ena Thun's plan!

"We are going to find out when we get there."

"When will we get there?" she lifted an eyebrow. What was he talking about?

"I plan to bring you with me to train."

"How about the others?"

"We will bring them too."

"To Howling Mountains?" she had heard rumors about that place. She had heard that not many people survive on that mountain. It was dangerous, and the seas that separated Rakha from the island where the Howling Mountains were located are very dangerous too.

"But you can."

"Just a little bit."

Rosalind gulped, her lips thinned.

"If a large amount of relics like that exist in the Howling Mountains then we cannot let them have it." The ability to make the beasts act like that was simply too frightening. They could use it if they wanted to target a kingdom or even an empire.

"I believe Ena Thun is going to use it to do other things," he said.

"Other things?"

"The seven families have always been at an impasse when it came to who was more powerful or who should rule the continent. I believe they wanted to use the relics to create other people who could wield the elements."

Rosalind blinked. There was only one person that could wield the element in each generation. However, the existence of Valentin and Elias was proof that the times were changing. The seven families were evolving and it might be because of the relics that Ena Thun had.

If that was the case then "We need to get that stone."

"Which is why we are going to the Howling Mountains."

Rosalind turned silent. They were not even sure if this was really Ena Thun's goal. However, even if Ena was not using the stone to create more Blessed Individuals, possessing that kind of relic is still not good, especially for someone who likes to play the hero, someone like Ena Thun.

A/N: So, Eve's Gambit is R19 and it will tie up some loose ends on Rosie's Games like how did Rosie turn back time and stuff like that. It is also darker as Eve is scheming and pretty is a morally gray character. I really hope you will like it. Add Eve's gambit to your library please! Thank you!
