Book 6: Chapter 152

Ashley stared at the piece of bear meat she had been given. Rather, she was staring at her hand which was holding it, her fingers laced with sauce and juices. It was fresh-off-the-fire hot too, and if she didnt have her heat-resistance skill, she wouldve been burned. She turned her head to the side to see how the others ate. Vur, Tafel, and Mary were stuffing their faces, holding onto the meat with their hands and biting at it with their teeth.

Beside the three barbaric eaters, Lindyss was sitting with her legs crossed. She was holding a book in her right hand, one that had no image or letters on the cover. In her left hand, she was holding a chalice of wine. Standing next to her, a skeleton was cutting bear meat on a cutting board that another skeleton held. A third skeleton used chopsticks to take the cut strips of meat off the board and dipped it in a sauce before placing it on a small plate. It added a toothpick to the center of the meat before holding the plate out towards a fourth skeleton who picked up the meat via toothpick and transferred it to the cursed elfs mouth. Lindyss eyes rolled upwards to meet Ashleys gaze, and the Light Lord felt chills run down her spine.

Ashley turned her gaze onto Puddles, and her brow furrowed. The dog had taken out a mithril dog bowl and a meat-cutting contraption that sliced and diced the bear meat into easy-to-chew pieces. Sir Selddup rolled his eyes up to look at Ashley, keeping his head down towards his bowl. His front paw crept forward and partially shielded off his food from the Light Lords view.

A dark expression appeared on Ashleys face as she looked away. It didnt seem like the pink-haired woman or red-haired man were present, but there was an old man sitting off to the side with two insect-related things. Ashley looked at her piece of bear meat once more before taking a bite out of it, copying the three barbaric eaters.

Vurs root bracelet flashed amber, and he lowered his head to look at it. He swallowed what he was chewing before speaking. A yellow dragon named Fern wants to enter the residence.

A dragon? Tafel asked and licked her lips. The dragons mustve heard you defeated the lords, so theyre investigating us now.

Vur nodded. Should I let them in? he asked.Th.ê most uptodate novels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m

Alright, Fern said and nodded. Youve received the dragon tablet, and you know how it works. My job here is done.

Vur blinked as Fern turned around and skipped away without saying goodbye. The yellow dragon headed to the wooden tablet it had entered from and vanished in a flash of amber light.

Well, that was interesting, Tafel said and scratched her head. It looks like that dragon just came here to deliver this stone monument to you. She turned her head towards the black slab of stone that was taller and wider than herself. Since dragons have their own personal network, I wonder if phoenixes have something similar.

There should be a phoenix floor, Lindyss said and looked towards Ashley.

The Light Lord shook her head. There are surprisingly few phoenixes located inside this tower, she said. If you wish to find some, youll have to invade other towers. Long ago, Volearden led a massive hunt that caused a great decline in the phoenix population.

Lindyss shrugged. You heard her, the cursed elf said to Tafel.

Tafel scratched her head. Well, even if she couldnt access a phoenix-exclusive network, she could still bug Vur to see what the dragon one was like. She leaned over and gestured at the stone monument beside her husband. Lets inspect it together, she said to Vur. Youll have to read it out loud though.
