Chapter 651 Enter the Hydra Head

’As for the issue about Glacier Keep, the hydras are unable to stop what’s coming.’

Unsure how to take such a remark, Artrat squinted and asked, ’What do you mean by that?’

’I’m sure we’ll get a chance to explain later,’ replied Jack, ’when the Hydra Head can hear us out.’

’Interesting...’ Artrat pondered what to ask next in hope of prying out at least a morsel of information on the topic.

Lunara then asked, ’Who’s the head now?’

’Oh... That would be Head Raztol.’

’Raztol... He wasn’t even a consul when I was here last...’ sighed Lunara, trying to imagine how their next hearing would go.

Artur was taken aback. ’Really? Then you’re undoubtedly older than I am, which only shows how poorly I’ve aged...’

’You said that the current head dislikes the discrimination... But--’

’Head Raztol is a changed man,’ stated Artrat. ’Around the time he became a consul, Raztol began to have a shift in his ideology. It was his minor reforms and efforts that led to my faction being created and supported by the masses.’

’Really... I find that hard to believe,’ sighed Lunara.New novel chapters are published at novelhall.com

’What do you mean?’

’The moment Halmut learns of how prosperous the hydras are, he’ll do everything to either eliminate them or bring them under his influence. There’s no middle ground for him...’

Jack shrugged. ’True... That’s exactly what Halmut would do...’

The five dozen cushions to toward the back were already filled as those near the front were filling up slowly. Finally, one of the raised cushions was taken as well, causing the party to sigh.

As soon as Hindrad entered the room, he glared death upon the party and assumed his seat, one of the two raised platforms around the highest cushion.

’He’s a consul...’ Lunara explained. ’There are two consuls who act as the head’s direct aides. Their combined influence can rival the head.’

’So I pissed off one of the most influential figures in Glacier Reef... Greaaat...’ Jack chuckled and scratched his head nervously. ’Well, can’t take back the past. We can only try to move forward.’

When the last of the elders entered the room, the party stared at the last remaining cushion like everyone else. Now, the hydra head made his appearance.

A bit larger than most one-headed hydras, the lv. 89 hydra head gracefully entered the room and assumed his position without any aura of arrogance. Head Raztol had softer eyes than Jack had expected and looked nothing like Lunara was expecting. Though he was larger, Head Raztol was noticeably older by appearance due to the looseness of his skin below the scales. But his muscle was still there, proving that he hadn’t yet deteriorated from old age.

This was a stark contrast to the consuls below him. Apart from the crown of glowing ice on Raztol’s head, their physiques were vastly different. Hindrad was more portly and obviously well-fed while the other consul had the usual physique of a one-headed hydra with loose skin in a couple of patches.

The audience was still growing, housing more than a couple of hundred hydras but Head Raztol wasn’t going to wait any further.

’Let us begin the hearing!’

All hydras surrendered their attention without fail as they turned to face their leader. It stunned Jack for a moment as he recognized the amount of respect that Head Raztol received.

’We’ve gathered as the Body Council to meet and congratulate our long-lost sister on her return to us!’
